The ruthless emperor in the late Ming Dynasty forced Chongzhen to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 97 No one has a clean ass

Zhu Cihong must hold the military parade every year, and it will become a routine in the future.

Because of the Imperial Forest Army, he does not plan to recruit new soldiers, but plans to select good-performing soldiers from various armies to make up for it every year, and the number is also [-].

Similarly, some veterans will be selected from the Royal Forest Army every year to serve as low-level military officers in various armies.

As for the low-level military officers of each army, they have been retired and sent to various parts of the country one after another. In addition to the lecture hall, in a few years, he will be able to firmly control the various armies, and it will be once and for all.

He plans to make a big splash in the martial arts hall.

Divided into elementary classes, crash courses, and advanced courses.

The junior class recruits some young children and trains them from an early age. There are command, staff, logistics, military law, cavalry, firearms, military administration, and naval divisions. The ten-year military education is implemented, and there are [-] places each year.

Among them, [-]% of the places are for the children of honorable generals to compete, and the remaining [-]% are all selected from civilians.

The junior class is to prepare for the regularization and professionalization of the army in the future, and it is also the key for the royal family to firmly control the military power.

Because all young children are disciples of the Son of Heaven, they will receive the ideological education of loyalty to the monarch and defending the country from an early age, and learn professional military knowledge.

The crash course is used to excessively replace those eunuchs who supervise the army. It is also divided into various subjects and the schooling period is two years.

Every year, [-] young and smart ordinary soldiers are selected from the army to study day and night. After the first batch of students in the elementary class graduate, the crash course will be abolished.

The training class does not divide subjects, and the schooling period is half a year. In the future, middle and low-level officers who want to be promoted must come to the training class for half a year, and they will be promoted directly after graduation.

When Zhu Cihong finished explaining the series of rules and regulations of the lecture hall, all the generals were dumbfounded.

What kind of lecture hall is this?It is clearly a military academy even better than the Imperial College!

"Your Majesty, I don't know how to compete for the [-]% junior class places? What conditions are needed?"

Wu Sangui was the first to ask.

The others also reacted. While excited, they were also dissatisfied that His Majesty only gave [-]% of the places in the junior class. In their opinion, all the [-] places per year should be given to the children of military generals.

"This will be announced later. I can only tell you now that the higher the official position and title, the more places you can recommend, but the final admission still has to be assessed."

Zhu Cihong waved his hand, the elementary class is not in a hurry, it is a long-term plan anyway, the crash course is what matters now.

Immediately, Zhu Cihong announced the end of the meeting, and everyone hurriedly got up to send them off, until Zhu Cihong disappeared in the Qianqing Palace, everyone straightened up and prepared to leave.

"Everyone, go slowly!"

"Liu Zongbing, His Majesty declares you..."

At this time Liu Xi came back again.

Everyone immediately understood that His Majesty was going to summon him alone, and Liu Zeqing's heart tightened even more, but he had no choice but to follow behind Liu Xi anxiously.

Inside the imperial study.

"The minister Liu Zeqing greets His Majesty!"

"Liu Zeqing, I heard that you deliberately fell off your horse and pretended to be sick after receiving the imperial decree from King Qin. Is there such a thing?"

At this moment, Zhu Cihong was completely different from the easy-going emperor outside just now. Although his tone was flat, Liu Zeqing heard it like five thunderbolts.

Breaking out in a cold sweat, he immediately kowtowed in defense:
"Your Majesty, this is definitely a rumor. I am loyal to Your Majesty and the court. I didn't fall on purpose, but my horse was frightened and accidentally broke my leg. After my injury improved, I immediately led the army north... "

"I also heard that you are usually rebellious and rebellious. During the period of encircling and suppressing the intruders, you often did not work hard, killed good men and pretended to be meritorious, and did things like looting places, didn't you?"

But Zhu Cihong didn't listen to his excuse, and said again on his own.

"Your Majesty, you are wronged!"

When Liu Zeqing saw that the emperor had revealed his old background, his face turned pale with fright, his head was smashed, and he complained that he was wronged. He didn't understand that this little emperor was not easily fooled like Chongzhen.

"Whether you were wronged, you know it in your heart, and I know it too. I want to pursue it enough to kill you a hundred times, but because you have served the king this time, I will not pursue it. Tomorrow you will lead the troops back to Shandong , if there is another turmoil in Shandong in the future, or if I hear that you will never change, then don't blame me for not remembering your military exploits!"

Zhu Cihong didn't care about him kowtowing to call him wronged, but said in a deep voice, and waved his hand after speaking.

"Thank you Your Majesty for not killing me. From now on, I will obey the law and serve the court..."

Liu Zeqing heaved a sigh of relief, hurriedly kowtowed to thank him again, reassured him again and again, and then resigned and left.

Zhu Cihong also has no other choice, now is the time for employing people, and he can only let this guy continue to go back to Shandong to sit in town.

After all, there is this guy with more than 3 soldiers and horses sitting in Shandong, Shandong is the Ming Dynasty, and it will be stable.

And he believes that as long as this guy is not stupid, he will never dare to be like before when he goes back.

Seeing that Liu Zeqing was sweating profusely and his face turned pale, everyone knew that he must have been severely beaten by His Majesty, and their hearts arose for a moment.

After all, everyone's buttocks are not clean!
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Cihong summoned Liu Liangzuo, Gao Jie, and Wu Sanfu one by one, and they also beat them severely.

"Wu Sangui, I heard that when you were in Tongzhou, you wanted to unite the commanders of the towns to deal with the imperial concubine. Is there such a thing?"

"Your Majesty deserves to be punished for his crimes!"

Wu Sangui apologized honestly.

He can't deny this matter at all. If His Majesty wants to pursue it, he can only admit it, but he doesn't think His Majesty will really pursue it.

"Snapped!"

"You are so brave, do you still have Zhen and the court in your eyes?"

"I am absolutely loyal to Your Majesty and to the imperial court. I never dare to have second thoughts. At the beginning, I didn't know the identity of the empress, and I was worried that they would turn against each other. Coupled with the instigation of the villain, this is why I am fascinated. I hope Your Majesty will learn from you!"

Although he knew that His Majesty would not kill him, Wu Sangui was still terrified, for after all, the power of heaven is unpredictable.

"I'm afraid you are not only worried that the imperial concubine and the others will turn against each other, but also want to swallow the imperial concubine's food, money, soldiers and horses! Isn't that right?" Zhu Cihong asked coldly.

"Chen... I do have this idea, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Wu Sangui saw that His Majesty had seen through all his thoughts, and also understood that His Majesty was not like the Supreme Emperor, and could not be easily fooled, so he was even more frightened and dared not argue anymore.

"I ask you, what do you intend to annex so much soldiers, horses, money and food? Are you planning to rebel?"

"Your Majesty, you are wronged!"

"I am loyal to His Majesty, and the world can learn from it. I did have selfish intentions at the time, but more people still don't feel at ease with the imperial concubine and the empress. This is why I want to reduce the hidden dangers so that I can fight Jiannu with all my strength. I hope your Majesty will learn from you!"

Wu Sangui was telling the truth this time, he really never thought of rebelling, he just wanted to strengthen his strength first, or before he thought of going there, he was killed by Zhu Cihong's move to appoint Hong Niangzi as the supervisor.

"Hmph! If not, do you think I will forgive you?"

"Get up, I will serve my country well in the future, this matter will come to an end, and neither I nor the noble concubine will pursue it any further."

Zhu Cihong saw that his face was covered with blood, so his tone slowed down a bit, and he waved his hands.

"Thank you for not killing, Your Majesty. From now on, I will dedicate myself to my duty and kill the enemy bravely, in order to repay Your Majesty's grace!"

When Wu Sangui left the imperial study and came to the door of the front hall, everyone was taken aback. Obviously, they didn't expect that Marquis Wu, who has made great achievements, would turn into such a ghostly appearance.

So when Tang Tong was called in, he knelt down on the ground with a plop, weeping and kowtowing to plead guilty.

"Your Majesty, the subject is guilty, the subject deserves death..."

While weeping, he talked about the matter that the civil servant Xungui had lured him to the palace gate to petition.

"Tang Tong, Tang Tong, what do you want me to say about you? Say you're stupid, and you know how to take the initiative to confess your guilt; say you're smart, and you do such a mindless stupid thing!"

"You are a mere military officer with no more than [-] soldiers. You can also meddle in such a matter of forcing the palace to petition?"

"The minister is confused for a moment, and deserves death!"

"I don't need ten thousand deaths. I want to kill you once. However, I am not a ruthless king. When the court is in danger, you are the first general who was ordered to lead troops into the king of Jingqin. I wanted to train you well. In the future, you will be the commander-in-chief." use…

Who would have thought that you would feel jealous and resentful when you saw that I used Zhou Yuji so much, and you made me so disappointed by doing such a rebellious thing.

I will not punish you, merits and demerits will balance, you will lead troops south to guard Daming, Zhending, Guangping, and Shunde four prefectures tomorrow! "

"Thank you, thank you Your Majesty, take care of your Majesty, minister, minister, please leave!"

Tang Tong got up with tears streaming down his face, and left in a daze, with regret in his gut.

Now that I think about it, after I entered Beijing, the little emperor treated me very well. Not only was he conferred a title, but he also rewarded a lot of gold and silver and beauties in the mansion.
