Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

History is made up of small events that are continuously piled up, and often a change in one thing will form a chain reaction.

"The counter-insurgency under the current Shaanxi rule has entered a new stage."

Emperor Chongzhen sat firmly on the dragon chair, looked at Mao Chenglu, Kong Youde, Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu and other generals of the Five Army Battalions who had been summoned into the palace, and said with a serious expression: "The situation is becoming more and more favorable for the imperial court, but considering The Shenji Battalion has been on the front line of countering the rebellion for a long time. I plan to rotate the Shenji Battalion and the Fifth Army Battalion in batches.

Counting from the initial rectification of the Beijing camp, I have seen the changes in the Fifth Army Battalion and the Shenshu Battalion, but an army that has not experienced the baptism of war cannot be called a truly strong army.

I have devoted a lot of effort to the three battalions, not only for defending the capital, you should become the elite of Ming Dynasty, no matter what kind of powerful enemy you encounter, you can resolutely crush them! "

Mao Chenglu, Kong Youde, Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu and other generals all had burning eyes, revealing unconcealable excitement.

The emperor asked them to lead their troops to Shaanxi, to rotate with the Shenji Battalion, and then to participate in the suppression of the rebellion and thieves. This was indeed something they did not expect.

However, every time from the Military Aircraft Department, they received information from the Yongwei Battalion and the Shenji Battalion to suppress the bandit rebellion on the front line in Shaanxi. The corresponding achievements also aroused Mao Chenglu's fighting spirit.

"If I remember correctly, the total size of the various armies under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Army Battalion is in terms of people, right?"

Looking around at the reactions of the generals in the hall, Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand and said, "And the guerrilla generals in the Fifth Army Battalion were all transferred in batches to enter the Royal Military Academy for advanced studies. Graduated and returned to the Fifth Army Battalion again?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Mao Chenglu stepped forward to salute.

As the army that Emperor Chongzhen valued in his heart, the troops of the Yongwei Camp, Shenji Camp, Shenshu Camp, Five Army Camp, and Four Guard Camp are the real full-time troops that rely on the support of the national treasury and internal funds. , Under the gradual adjustment of Emperor Chongzhen, corresponding changes and exercises were carried out.

"It's not easy."

Emperor Chongzhen said with emotion: "For a long time, in the eyes of many civil officials in the foreign court, I felt that my military generals in the Ming Dynasty should be suppressed and restricted, otherwise there would be a separatist regime, self-respect, and cholera.

Daming's current situation cannot withstand these threats.

However, I have full confidence in your five military camps, including the Shenshu Camp, Shenji Camp, and Yongwei Camp. Do you know why? "

General Mao Chenglu, Kong Youde, and Sun Kewang heard the words of the emperor, and the expressions on their faces changed from a little angry to calm again.

After all, these things that the emperor said, in fact, did often happen in the past battles, especially in the land of Liaodong.

It is even said that Mao Chenglu and Kong Youde had done these things before they were transferred from Dongjiang Army by the emperor to Gyeonggi.

It's just that the reason why they did this was not caused by the civilian groups of Ming Dynasty, visible and invisible, withholding food and military supplies, and despising them?
...

But as long as they are not bothered by these things, who will send troops to plunder the place if they have nothing to do? If they do too many bloody things like this, they will no longer be an army.

"Because you are worthy of my trust and my reliance."

Emperor Chongzhen looked arrogantly, looked at Mao Chenglu and the others, and said firmly: "I don't want to mention what happened in the past, and I hope you don't think about it.

However, since you were successively promoted to the Fifth Army Battalion, you all absolutely support the military regulations and disciplines I have drawn up, so you must always keep one thing in mind.

The army of the Ming Dynasty is an army that defends the country and the country, not an army that loots houses and acts recklessly!

If you want to see the generals of the Ming Dynasty, or even the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, improve their status step by step, and appear in the world with their heads held high, then you must abide by this way! "

"Here!"

All the generals suddenly agreed.

Emperor Chongzhen knew better than anyone else the virtues of the Ming army in the past.

In particular, the army that is mobilized to suppress the rebellion often indulges their subordinates in looting places on the way to the rebellion area, and even kills people and sets fire to them. among these armies.

Regarding these objectively existing facts, Emperor Chongzhen could not selectively forget them, but he also would not do nothing, after all, the Ming Dynasty had to live on.

"All matters related to the rotation of the Fifth Army Battalion and the Shenji Battalion will be coordinated by the Military Aircraft Department. Mao Chenglu, you are the left deputy general of the Fifth Army Battalion, and you must earnestly shoulder your responsibilities."

Emperor Chongzhen continued: "I won't emphasize anything related to the mobilization of the army, but I want to emphasize one point to you, including you generals.

Going to Shaanxi to fight the rebellion by rotation does not mean that you can relax military regulations and discipline. I don't want the five military battalions to go to the front line to fight the rebellion during the rotation.

Anything that harms the Beijing camp occurs in the local area.

If it happens, no matter what the reason is, no matter who is involved, I will never let it go lightly. The military rules and disciplines followed by the Beijing Camp are not for display!
"

"Here!"

Mao Chenglu and Kong Youde responded immediately.

Looking at the group of generals and schools in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen's heart was also in suspense. In the final analysis, if the Ming Dynasty wanted to have a strong army, it was impossible to be strategically passive forever.

It is necessary to send Mao Chenglu, Kong Youde, Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, and others to lead the soldiers of the Fifth Army Battalion to go to the Shaanxi counter-insurgency front line in rotation, to experience the war and to endure the test.

Although there are a lot of worries, there are some things that must be done, otherwise such a large amount of food and salary will be spent, it will be just raising a bunch of useless soldiers and veteran soldiers.

"Go down."

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said: "After returning to the headquarters, I will convey my oral order to the Shenshu Camp, when the Fifth Army Battalion will be able to shoulder the burden of suppressing the rogues on the front line of countering the rebellion.

Then the Shenshu Camp can rotate with the Yongwei Battalion to participate in the counter-insurgency. During this period, I don't want the Shenshu Camp to have any slack. "

"The ministers obey the order."

Mao Chenglu and the others saluted.

However, what the emperor said also made them feel heavy pressure. After all, it not only involved themselves, but also involved the Shenshu camp.

If they rush to Shaanxi to suppress the rebellion, they fail to adapt to the battlefield as soon as possible, and instead lead to passive things, and then let the thieves rampant again, then not only will they lose face, but the entire Beijing camp will also be lost. Face, it will even cause dissatisfaction with Shenjiying and Shenshuying.
