Borrow the day to change the day

() When the sky was about to set, the people in line finally finished serving. More than 20 people paid the travel expenses so quickly, thanks to Lu Xiangsheng's careful arrangements in advance and the availability of sufficient personnel from the Daming Mansion.

At this time, Sun Chengzong's personal soldiers led a large group of personnel from the Daming Mansion to move to the tents that had been vacated by the military camps of various ministries, and began to distribute them to those who remained in the meeting place for the elimination of troops.

There are about 7 to [-] soldiers left behind, which is less than expected.

There may be two reasons. One is the Chinese people's love for family. If they have the opportunity to go back, they will not stay here again, let alone the Chinese New Year.Even if it is to go around the ruins of the place where the former home is, it is good.The second reason is the distrust of court officials, fearing that something will happen if they stay here.

Sun Chengzong was an old man, so he roughly explained these two reasons to Zhong Jinwei, and then said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Jiutai, I have to trouble your Daming Mansion for a day, I think you can leave tomorrow, and your soldiers can still go back for the New Year. "

Lu Xiangsheng even said that he didn't dare to be a soldier, and by the way reported the numbers just reported by his subordinates to Sun Chengzong: "Our soldiers are still in the camp, and there are 150 people waiting to be resettled by the court."

Sun Chengzong nodded and said: "Okay, then the supervising army and I will go back to the tent of the Chinese army first, write a memorial to the emperor, and report on the situation of the elimination of troops today."

Then Sun Chengzong and Zhong Jinwei rode away from the Taibing assembly point and went back to the Chinese army tent.

After returning to the account of the Chinese army, after writing the memorial, the supervising army signed it as usual, and asked Wang Peng of Dongchang to send it to the capital.After all, the remaining soldiers had to be dealt with as soon as possible.Wang Peng, a man who can fight, came out with Zhong Jinwei this time, and acted as a messenger to run errands helplessly.

After finishing everything, Zhong Jinwei returned to his camp, only to find that there was another person waiting for him to settle here.

When Li Laosi saw Zhong Jinwei approaching, he wanted to get up and salute, but he couldn't get up because of the pain in his buttocks.

Zhong Jinwei didn't care about these empty rituals, and told him to lie still.

Chatted with Li Laosi for a while, learned about Li Laosi's situation, knew that he was single, in a state where one person was full and the whole family was not hungry, so I comforted him a few words, and praised his loyalty by the way, and then Let him heal well.

Amid Li Laosi's thanks, Zhong Jinwei returned to his tent, lay down on the bed to rest, and then thought about what happened today.

Before going to bed every day, summarize the situation of the day, and then think about what to do tomorrow.This is a habit of Zhong Jinwei, which he kept when he was in school, and it is very useful.

He thought about the elimination of soldiers, and it could be considered that various factors came together to complete it smoothly.

If Guan Ning's army were not cavalry, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to deter other generals; if Zu Dashou hadn't been panicked because of the case of running first, I'm afraid he wouldn't cooperate like this; ; Also, God did not come to make trouble for Jianlu, which is actually an important factor. As long as there is a problem with one of these, there will be no result of the current elimination of troops.

Sometimes, in the dark, there is God's will, just like the demise of the Ming Dynasty, it is also the result of various unfavorable factors coming together.

God traveled himself to the end of the Ming Dynasty, and it seems that he didn't want to see the mainland of China sink into darkness for hundreds of years, Zhong Jinwei thought.

There are also a few places to pay attention to in this elimination.First, the large number of eliminated soldiers shows that the Ming army has been corrupted so deeply that it may be difficult to restore it by relying on the old system.In history, Lu Xiangsheng seems to be the only general who shared weal and woe with the soldiers. He is too unreliable. The only way to save the Ming army is to rely on military system reform.By the way, Qin Liangyu's white-armed soldiers are also a strong army, but they are chieftain's private soldiers, so naturally they can't eat their own money.For the regular army of the Ming Dynasty, there is no place to borrow a lottery.

Second, Zhongyang must have a strong army as a deterrent. This time it happened to rely on the Guan Ning Army. Next time, I am afraid that there will not be such a good opportunity.It must be suggested that Emperor Chongzhen re-program the three major camps of the capital.The sooner the time is better, the sooner it is completed, the sooner it can deter other armies from carrying out military reforms.

After thinking about this, I remembered what Sun Chengzong said about the coming New Year. I am afraid that this year will not be able to pass. Those Jianlu Tartars are still harming the people in the capital, and the imperial court’s disaster relief cannot save them.

Zhong Jinwei thought about it, fell asleep, and went looking for his Archie.

The next morning, Zhong Jinwei and Sun Chengzong inspected the situation of the soldiers at the gathering place of the soldiers, and asked people to send the few surplus tents to the Wang Gongchang refugee camp in the capital city. The people there also urgently needed these tents. .

Lu Xiangsheng has already carried out a simple organization of the eliminated soldiers according to the regulations in the army, and the effect is still acceptable. The reason may be that these people have stayed in the barracks for a period of time after all, and they have a certain degree of consciousness.Then began to organize the soldiers of Daming Mansion to return to Daming Mansion in batches.The reason for allocating actions is to reduce the pressure on the capital, and to worry about the emotions of eliminating soldiers, so they dare not withdraw all at once.

Sun Chengzong and Zhong Jinwei were very satisfied with Lu Xiangsheng's work.Sun Chengzong was full of praise, and Zhong Jinwei said that he would give him credit, which made Lu Xiangsheng, who has always been relatively cold, blush.

After chatting for a while, Sun Chengzong asked Zhong Jinwei Ai to do whatever he wanted. Anyway, he didn't care about him. He was going to call various generals to discuss how to train and coordinate operations.

Although the remaining soldiers are considered strong soldiers, it is obviously unrealistic to directly pull them up to fight Jianlu without training.

Zhong Jinwei was also very interested in ancient military training and wanted to go and have a look. As a result, at this time, the imperial decree arrived.

The content of the imperial decree is mainly three things. One is that the eliminated soldiers who have nowhere to go will be treated together with the refugees from the capital. However, the space in the city is limited, so let the eliminated soldiers stay here and wait for the household department to send someone to register their skills.

The second is to commend Sun Chengzong and let him continue the follow-up matters of the military camp.

The third is to let Zhong Jinwei return to the capital for an audience, and to discuss other important matters.

At present, everyone is doing their own work, and Zhong Jinwei followed the angel back to the capital.Before leaving, he asked one of Sun Chengzong's personal soldiers to notify Li Laosi, and when he recovered from his injuries, he would report to the Earl's Mansion of Zhongxing in the capital.

It was already noon when he saw Emperor Chongzhen, this time he learned his lesson and ate casually on the way.The angel did not dare to have an opinion on Zhong Jinwei. The reputation of Uncle Zhongxing had slowly spread in the palace, and he knew that he was a man of God and a person whom Emperor Chongzhen valued very much.

When the Emperor Chongzhen saw Zhong Jinwei, he suddenly praised him, so that Zhong Jinwei, who had just practiced cheeky for a few minutes, returned to his original form, and even said that he was red-faced and dare not be called.

In fact, it is true that if it weren't for Sun Chengzong, a veteran of the court, to control those soldiers and ruffians, Zhong Jinwei alone would not be able to handle it.

In the end, Zhong Jinwei used his old trick and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, what are you recruiting ministers to discuss?"

As soon as he mentioned this, Emperor Chongzhen's face fell, and he said to Zhong Jinwei angrily: "I will show Master Zhong the behavior of my people, as well as those civil servants, military generals, honorable royal relatives, when the court is in crisis. "

Then, he asked the servant next to him to show Zhong Jinwei a copy of the memorial.

It was quite a headache for Zhong Jinwei to read the memorial after listening to it.These days, I am busy with work every day, and I have no time to learn traditional Chinese characters and read ancient books. I am very repulsed by traditional traditional vertical memorials.

But there is no other way, calm down and read the memorial carefully, and after understanding the content, he looked at Emperor Chongzhen.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen asked him to read another piece of paper, and Zhong Jinwei's relieved face immediately became bitter again, so he had to take it and continue reading.

The two items are related, and Zhong Jinwei knew it at a glance.After reading it, he looked at Emperor Chongzhen again and said in his heart: Don't show me the memorial again!

Fortunately, there is no more this time. After watching Zhong Jinwei, Emperor Chongzhen said with a little anger: "Master Zhong, look, this is my minister, and the right-hand man who governs the world is actually such a person!"

In fact, Zhong Jinwei had expected such a result, and comforted Emperor Chongzhen, saying: "Your Majesty, I have expected this matter, and it is definitely impossible to change it in a short time. Let's deal with them slowly and reform them." alright."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly said, "Master Zhong, what's your plan?"
