golden scales

When Lin Tao returned to the post, Zhao Liangdong immediately greeted him and said excitedly, "Brother Lin, you are back!"

Lin Tao was a little uncomfortable with his politeness, and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhao Liangdong bent down and wiped a stool, pulled Lin Tao and said, "Brother, sit down." Lin Tao was even more puzzled by Monk Zhang Er.Zhao Liangdong leaned closer and said with a smile: "Brother, is there really light shining from the back of the crown prince's head? I heard the trainer say that the crown prince is a star in the sky, but I don't know if it is true or not."

"This..." Lin Tao didn't dare to say that the Crown Prince was a mortal, but he really didn't think that the Crown Prince was a god who didn't eat the fireworks of the world.He said: "You can go and see for yourself in the future."

"In the future?" Zhao Liangdong hesitated: "Brother, are you going to stay in the army and not return to the village?"

"Half right."

"Which half?"

"Stay in the army." Lin Tao smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince restored my military status and granted me the rank of colonel."

"Colonel? How old is that officer?" Zhao Liangdong had no idea.

"The next step is the general, just like Zuo Guangxian and Wu Changchun we saw that day." Lin Tao laughed and said, "When I get my military uniform to show you, the star emblem on the shoulder straps is made of real gold and silver. "

Zhao Liangdong was so surprised that he could hardly close his mouth from ear to ear, and said, "The emperor's family is generous... Will Brother Lin return to the village?"

"Return." Lin Tao said decisively: "My job is to contact the Shaanxi Rebel Army, harass the Qing army behind the enemy lines, and make the Qing army restless. Now there is still a thousand headquarters at hand. Do you want to serve as a soldier?"

"I want to be a military officer, and it's best to carry two ounces of gold on my shoulders... Hehe." Zhao Liangdong fantasized about the image of himself wearing a military uniform and carrying gold on his shoulders. He felt that although he was majestic, he was a bit too coquettish.Can't help giggling.

Lin Tao just gave him a blank look, ignoring Zhao Liangdong's joke.There is an empty Qian headquarters, not to mention Zhao Liangdong, even those hunters in the village can become officers.But if you want to carry real money, you have to have real military exploits.

"Taking advantage of the time when the superiors are dispatching combat staff and instructors, let's think about how to turn Chitose's "War in the Enemy's Rear Area" into practice. Also, do you have any trusted brothers in other villages? We have to pull the troops first Get up." Lin Tao asked.

Zhao Liangdong's face became serious, and he stopped joking, his mind turned quickly, and said, "If you talk about the nearby villages, I'm afraid my father is the best." Bone-bonding someone, he wouldn't have done it without him.It was also thanks to Mr. Zhao that Lin Tao saved his life and was reborn with kindness.

There is such an old doctor who is well-known among the neighbors to help connect them.It must be very reliable.

The key lies in the practice of tactics.

According to the concept in "The Law of War Behind the Enemy's Rear", all villages should become isolated islands, capable of accommodating soldiers, hiding the wounded, and preserving food and grass.This means that everyone in the village must be of one heart and one mind, otherwise, once a traitor or traitor is found, the loss will be huge.

This is the importance of "mass work".

In Class A and Class B administrative regions, the villages have been merged, breaking the original patriarchal rule.It has become a new state of balance among the village elders, peasant elders, and instructors.Even if someone joins together again based on surnames and in-laws, it is impossible to suppress more "people with foreign surnames".

In the original ecological countryside of Shaanxi.Often a village has a surname, the family rules are greater than the king's law, and the patriarch is like the emperor.Because of the lack of control, it is impossible to imitate Shandong and Henan, and use harsh punishments to open the way. One can imagine how difficult it will be for the masses to work.

When the two of them seized the time to study Zhu Cihong's "The Art of War in the Enemy's Rear".The General Training Department and the General Staff are also actively dispatching personnel to popularize combat skills behind enemy lines.Although they will not become independent commanders of the rebel army, at least they must have the correct concept, so as to avoid laymen leading experts, but still self-righteous.

Zhu Cihong was particularly interested in the newly opened battlefield.New reports are sent to his desk every day, which makes him feel like he has returned to the era of constant work in his previous life, and his whole body is full of energy.As a workaholic, what could be more attractive than work?Once he became addicted to work, all the memorials sent to Jinan were also handed over to the secretary of the Eastern Palace attendant's room. Zhu Cihong didn't even want to copy them again, so he sent them directly to Jinan.

……

The spring of Chongzhen's 18th year passed slowly in the light rain.Although the weather conditions were still not optimistic, it was better than last year, which made Emperor Chongzhen excited for a long time.However, he is more aware that the national treasury is still stretched, and the summer grain can only be collected in June. As for the amount, it is unknown, and the people's livelihood of Ming Dynasty is still facing a severe test.

What is more troublesome than people's livelihood is the feudal town.

In this season of plowing and labor, it is also the time when the feudal towns everywhere demand military pay.Chongzhen knew that they were completely useless, and even only hidden dangers, but he couldn't ignore the demands of these generals.Especially Fengdu Ma Shiying, Chuzhen Zuo Liangyu, and Zhezhen Fang Guoan are all men with heavy soldiers in their hands.If they were forced to mutiny, the south would be unstable immediately, and Shandong would lose its support.

But this year in southern Fujian, it was really quiet. Neither Zheng Hongkui nor Zheng Cai reached out to the imperial court. Zheng Zhilong even sent a general, Shi Lang, to lead [-] ships, big and small, to head north to King Qin of Shandong.

Chongzhen still remembered the embarrassment when he called Zheng Zhilong back then, but he didn't expect Zheng Zhilong to be willing to pay such a big capital this time.After all, he is the emperor of 18 years, and the power surging under this kind of change makes him unable to ignore it.It's just that Dongchang is different from the past, and can only inquire about trivial matters, but he doesn't know anything about such major matters.

Admiral Ding Ao, the eunuch of the East Factory, of course knew why Zheng Zhilong had changed his mind.The crown prince gave him the right to immigrate to Taiwan, and at the same time set up a Taiwan government. The first prefect is most likely his eldest son Zheng Sen.Under such conditions, Zheng Zhilong only allocated less than [-]% of his troops to the north to help defend, and the control is still in his own hands, which is definitely worth it.

Chongzhen walked slowly under the eaves of the palace, as if he had returned to the palace.The feeling of being the hero of the world came back to him with more and more good news.He suddenly wanted to go to the eldest son's war room. He heard that it was there that military decisions that affected the whole country were made.

Thinking this way in his heart, Chongzhen had unconsciously walked over.Wang Chengen saw Chongzhen's intentions, but dared not speak.According to the rules, if the emperor is not dead, the world belongs to him.However, now that the East Palace is full-fledged, it is really a question whether the emperor can hold him down.Wang Cheng'en knew that he had already boarded the crown prince's boat, and he didn't dare to be too courteous to the emperor, otherwise if the news leaked out, he would be out of character.

"Who is in front?" Chongzhen walked slowly, and happened to see the prince's guard of honor in front of him.

Wang Chengen hurriedly stepped forward to have a look, and came back to report: "My lord, in front are the two thousand-year-old King Ding and King Yong. They are playing in the garden."

When Chongzhen heard that his two sons were still playing, his expression sank.Compared with the genius crown prince, these two little princes are rather incompetent.A shadow flashed in his heart, and he thought of Huo Qubing again.If the eldest son of the emperor really lived up to his age, after a hundred years, the burden of the country would only fall on these two sons.

"Let them follow me to the East Palace." Chongzhen said coldly.

After a while, the eunuchs and maids brought the two princes over and asked them to greet the emperor's father.

Chongzhen just kept a straight face and walked towards the war room of the East Palace without saying a word.

Now the main personnel of the East Palace are all following Xingyuan in Taiyuan, and Liu Ruoyu is the head of the remaining personnel.Liu Ruoyu is a knowledgeable eunuch who will not be overwhelmed by the majesty of the emperor.He knew that there were only a few sand tables and a few maps in the war room, so it didn't matter if the emperor was allowed to go in, and naturally he wouldn't create trouble for the emperor.

Chongzhen led the two princes into the war room, followed by Wang Chengen.Liu Ruoyu followed Wang Chengen and asked someone to close the door from the outside.

"This is……"

Chongzhen raised his head, stunned by the map of Huang Mingkun covering the entire wall.He had seen the map sent by Matteo Ricci, and the map of Huangming's position drawn by Chen Zushou, but it was the first time he had seen such a large national map.
