Chapter 1005

Hearing this, Gao Yingxiang and the others looked at Li Zicheng with admiration!The emperor only gave the number of [-] troops this time, and Li Zicheng, a guerrilla general, could not be at full strength. Naturally, it was impossible for them to participate.What a pity to miss such a good opportunity!

In fact, Li Zicheng didn't say anything.It is because he is not reconciled to the current status quo, that's why he cares about the news outside Hetao, and thinks about any chances that can make him flourish again.

Time passed quickly, half a month later, Li Zicheng selected a thousand men from each army.Most of these subordinates are Mongols, and among the Mongols, they are as dissatisfied with the situation in front of them as he is, and they still want to fight for prosperity and wealth, and give credit to their wives and sons.

Regarding this matter, Hong Chengchou had enough face. When Li Zicheng brought the mid-level military officers to Beijing, he actually delivered it to the gate of the Governor's Mansion in person, so that many people could see it.Li Zicheng was envied and hated for the treatment he received.

But in the capital, when Emperor Chongzhen knew that Li Zicheng was the first one who was willing to stand up to accept this will, he was stunned for a while and had to admit that Li Zicheng was able to stand out in the original history. place.At least his sense of smell for this matter is very sensitive.

When Li Zicheng led the mid-level officers to the capital, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the many pamphlets that had been prepared on the imperial case, and a new idea sprouted in his heart. He felt that he should take this opportunity to do what he had thought before. .

So, the next day, all the governors of the fifth rank and above, the governors and the governors, and the left and right governors all arrived in the Forbidden City early according to the order.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Governor’s Mansion of the Five Armies had great power. Later, Taizu made it clear that the Governor’s Mansion of the Five Armies only had the power to command the troops, not the right to deploy them. That is to say, the Governor’s Mansion of the Five Armies was only responsible Army training.The right to deploy troops belongs to the Ministry of War. Once there is a war, the Ministry of War will deploy generals and troops to go out after the emperor's order. This is a check and balance strategy to prevent generals from supporting themselves.But in the late Ming Dynasty, the power of the Ministry of War became stronger and stronger. In fact, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies was only reduced to the executive department of the Ministry of War, and it was only a subordinate yamen.

In this way, the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion can be said to be an idle yamen. Even the assessment of hereditary military officers will not do their best, because the determination of the final results and the selection of the list of generals must be sent to the Ministry of War for decision.

It is also because of this that the chief officials of the Five Armed Forces Governor's Mansion have almost nothing to do on weekdays.But in the past year, when Emperor Chongzhen involved major military and political affairs, he also invited these high-ranking officials from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to attend.However, due to historical reasons, these chief officials of the Dudufu of the Five Armies almost played the role of spectators. Only when Emperor Chongzhen asked a question did he answer.Just like in the last discussion on the war against captives, Emperor Chongzhen consulted Zu Dashou.

For this situation, the civil servants don't care, it's nothing more than a formality.The generals were not too excited, anyway, they would not have any opinions, they just went to the present mud bodhisattva.There is almost a consensus on both civil and military sides.Only Zu Dashou had received the words of Emperor Chongzhen in the past, so he was a little bit looking forward to it.

However, it has been almost two years, and except for the junior military equipment hall of the capital, there has been no substantial improvement in generals.To be honest, he was a little disappointed in his heart.But he also knew that if he wanted to change the status of generals, there would be too much resistance.As long as Emperor Chongzhen keeps this in mind and doesn't just talk about it, he can still look forward to it.

At this time, all the supervisors of the five armies' governor's mansions gathered in front of the Hall of Martial Arts.Although the weather is already a little cold, the wind is also cold.But they didn't care about this, but they were a little surprised when they saw their colleagues, and they couldn't help being a little surprised when they communicated with each other.

However, Zu Dashou was delighted because they found that the emperor distributed a pamphlet to each of them yesterday, each of which was different and involved every aspect of military training.Although there are many excerpts from "Ji Xiao's New Book", there are also many practical things.Zu Dashou has practical experience in leading troops, so he can tell at a glance that the emperor hired a special person to compile it.

For example, the sentinel that does not accept at night is more detailed than the content in "Ji Xiao New Book", and there are even explanations of many specific cases.There are also descriptions of firearms, how to use them with great power, and how to protect them to reduce the damage of firearms.It can be said that the description of firearms is the most detailed and profound in Ming Dynasty today.There are also explanations on how to face specific environments such as severe cold, scorching heat, desert, grassland, etc. when marching and fighting...

Zu Dashou probably guessed something in his heart, the emperor is probably going to fulfill the promise he made before.Thinking of this, he was looking forward to it.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't keep them waiting for long, and with the sound of "The emperor is coming", Emperor Chongzhen appeared in front of them.

When Zu Dashou and the others hurriedly saluted and peeked at it, they couldn't help being a little surprised.

They saw Emperor Chongzhen appearing in front of them wearing a golden helmet and armor, riding a tall horse.Behind the emperor, Fang Zhenghua and other eunuchs followed.In the hands of two of them, there was something covered with a red cloth, which seemed to be a plaque.

"Let's go, go to Jingying." Emperor Chongzhen didn't talk nonsense, he just waved his hand to signal them.

Although Zu Dashou was a fellow governor of the Fifth Army's Dudufu Mansion, he was in charge of a real job and assumed the power to temporarily act as the Chief of the Beijing Camp.Therefore, he naturally understood the situation in the capital camp. After seeing the emperor's posture and seeing the thing covered by the red cloth, he was not as baffled as other colleagues, but further confirmed his guess in his heart. Very happy.

Sure enough, after Emperor Chongzhen arrived at the Beijing camp, he did not go to the school grounds where the new army was trained as usual, but went straight to the junior military training hall of the capital.

Although the first batch of new troops had already graduated from the Junior Armed Forces Hall of the Beijing Normal University, they had already fought in Liaodong.However, there are still students in the elementary military equipment hall of the capital today, all of whom are low-level officers of the follow-up new army.

With the arrival of the emperor, all the teachers and students of the junior military equipment hall in the capital came out to greet him.On the small square in the capital's junior military equipment hall, Qiqi was full of people.

Emperor Chongzhen glanced over these low-level Ming officials, and found Li Zicheng and his mid-level officers, who were standing in a corner beside him, separated from the others by a clear space.

Looking at the eyes of these people below, with some excitement and puzzlement, Emperor Chongzhen said: "Since the establishment of the junior military training hall in the capital, it has trained many talents for the Ming Dynasty. Today they have made great military achievements in Liaodong." , It has laid a solid foundation for my Great Ming to recover the land of Liao, for which, I am very relieved!"

Naturally, they had heard about the deeds of their predecessors, and they were all a little more excited when they heard what the emperor said.

"However, they were originally the elite selected from the millions of frontier troops. Therefore, although the content taught in the elementary military training hall of the capital is small, they have been able to let them roam the battlefield." When Emperor Chongzhen said this, his face became a little serious One point said, "However, in the future, the soldiers in the junior military equipment hall of the capital will not have such a good foundation. This requires a step-by-step learning of the ability to kill the enemy on the battlefield."

When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he suddenly asked a question: "Do you know why I named it the Junior Military Equipment Hall of the Capital?"

Hearing this, whether it was the standing students, Li Zicheng who had just arrived in the capital, or the chief officials of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, they were all a little surprised and at the same time guessed.But Zu Dashou was [-]% sure at this time that the matter that the emperor promised at the beginning had started to go further.Thinking of this, although his city is deep, he still can't restrain the smile on his face.

Naturally, no one would stand up and answer this question of Emperor Chongzhen, and he didn't want anyone to answer, he just adopted this way of asking and answering himself: "I just want to prepare for you more in-depth knowledge of military equipment, so that you can be more Get a deeper understanding of the ever-changing battlefield, learn more skills to kill the enemy, and be able to shed less blood on the battlefield!"

Having said that, he waved his hand, and the two eunuchs, who were covered with red cloths, walked up to Emperor Chongzhen in unison.

This time, the focus of the audience was on the thing covered by the red cloth.Many people were very curious, wondering what was covered under the red cloth, and what was the connection with what the emperor said just now?
Li Zicheng was also a little puzzled. Since he arrived in the capital yesterday, he has lived in the capital camp and came to the capital's junior military equipment hall.He was originally excited, but when he asked about the situation, he was immediately puzzled.Because the sacrificial wine in the capital's junior military hall is just the birthday of the governor and Zhizu of the governor's mansion, and the lecturers are just ordinary people. The agreed emperor will teach it himself?Even if it's just a name, it's just a name for the governor and Tongzhi?
In this case, how could it be impossible for the emperor to teach himself?After all, the biggest one in the Wubei hall is the governor and Tongzhi, and it is impossible for the emperor to live under him.It seems impossible to temporarily remove the position of the governor and Tongzhi Jijiu for the sake of people like yourself?
Looking at the things covered by the red cloth, Li Zicheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration, wondering if the emperor's words just now were for people like himself, setting up another military equipment hall?

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng was suddenly a little excited.But then he immediately calmed down, who is he?It's just a guerrilla at the frontier, or a thief, how could the emperor set up another military hall for this?Fortunately, no one else knows about this idea, otherwise it would be a joke, and I don't care how much I am!
He was thinking about it, but he saw Emperor Chongzhen stretching out his hand and uncovering the red cloth, and immediately, a plaque was exposed.Everyone, including Li Zicheng, immediately looked at the words on the plaque.

"Da Ming Advanced Military Equipment Hall"

It was just seven simple words, but it surprised everyone who knew these words, and excitement followed.

Li Zicheng opened his mouth even more. He didn't expect that there was actually another military preparation hall, and from the name, it was obviously a more powerful Yamen.The primary martial arts hall of the capital, the high-level martial arts hall of the Ming Dynasty, which is more important for the capital to the Ming Dynasty?Not to mention the beginner to the advanced!The content of what the emperor said just now is all on this plaque.

Li Zicheng really didn't expect that the emperor attached so much importance to the so-called Siberia. For them, he even set up a new yamen called "Da Ming Advanced Armed Forces Hall".Thinking about what the emperor would personally teach, he suddenly looked forward to this high-level military training hall of the Ming Dynasty.

Sure enough, Emperor Chongzhen glanced at the audience and said: "In the future, there will be more than just the junior military halls in the capital. I will set up junior military halls in other places as needed. After graduating from the junior military halls, or soldiers who have made contributions on the battlefield , it is possible to enter this high-level military equipment hall of the Ming Dynasty for further study, and I will entrust it with a heavy responsibility!"

Having said that, he raised his voice and announced even louder: "I will personally serve as the sacrificial wine for this high-level military equipment hall of the Ming Dynasty, and the governors of the Dudu Mansion will be in charge of each department..."

Few people can listen to what Emperor Chongzhen said later.They were all shocked by what Emperor Chongzhen said just now.Except for Li Zicheng, no one else, including Zu Dashou, would have thought that the emperor would personally serve as the sacrificial wine for the high-level military equipment hall of the Ming Dynasty.In this way, the status of the Daming Advanced Military Equipment Hall will be elevated to a very high level.You know, the liberal arts Jinshi, the so-called disciples of the Son of Heaven, are only in charge of the imperial examination by the emperor.But for the people in the high-level military equipment hall of Ming Dynasty, their sacrificial wine is the emperor himself, which is more disciples of the emperor than the so-called disciples of the emperor!
The emperor personally served as the sacrificial wine, and it was reasonable for the governors of the Five Armies Dudufu, the highest military attaché of the Ming Dynasty, to serve as the secretary.The specifications of this high-level military equipment hall of the Ming Dynasty are so high that it might teach shit-like content in it, and it might become a place where many warriors of the Ming Dynasty want to enter with all their efforts!

This time, the governors of the Five Armies Governor's Mansion were also overjoyed.If the emperor serves as the sacrificial wine, it means that this high-level military equipment hall of the Ming Dynasty will no longer be a decoration, and it is impossible for the Ministry of War to compete with the emperor.That is to say, the most noble background among the generals of the Ming Dynasty is the High-level Military Equipment Hall of the Ming Dynasty; in the future, many of the high-level generals of the Ming Dynasty will come from the High-level Military Equipment Hall of the Ming Dynasty.In other words, at least from now on, the power to command the troops will truly return to the hands of the Five Armies Dudufu!

They were thinking about it, but Emperor Chongzhen personally led the eunuchs, directed them to a house in the junior military hall of the capital, and hung up the plaque.Looking at everything is very simple, just a plaque and a room, but it has become the most eye-catching place for everyone.

Not surprisingly, when Li Zicheng and others were announced by Emperor Chongzhen as the first batch of students, the eyes they looked at were almost full of envy and envy!
