I, Jiajing, join the Ming Emperor chat group

Chapter 170 Huang Taiji: What?You want me to help you instead of you helping me? !

The Ming army was flying with flags, and the flames of war spread throughout the south.

The battle line has been heading north, especially in the Hunan area. The Ming army has even arrived at Changsha City, and finally the first decent battle broke out with the Qing court.

The Qing court gathered hundreds of thousands of troops to defend the city.

But all this has nothing to do with Li Youwen.

After being captured, Li Youwen was taken all the way from Hunan to Guangxi. Li Youwen had always been uneasy and inexplicable fear, fearing that the "Changmao" would be skinned and eaten alive by him. But what he didn't expect was that after arriving in Guangxi, he Was incorporated into the legion.

That's right, incorporated into the Shaggy Legion!
This frightened Li Youwen.

Li Youwen's family was in decline. His second grandfather had been a scholar during Emperor Kangxi's reign, so he had grown up listening to many stories.

He had heard that there was a way of fighting in the past, which was to let the cannon fodder rush to the front to die. Only when the cannon fodder was almost used up would the real elites come in... This method of fighting came from the Eight Banners.

However, what Li Youwen didn't expect was that he would be included in the military ranks of the 'First Production and Construction Corps of the Ming Dynasty'.

What was given to him was not weapons such as red tassel guns and plain knives, let alone muskets such as matchlocks and flintlock guns. What was given to him were only hoes, rakes, and shovels.

This actually surprised Li Youwen.

Rather than saying he is a soldier, it is better to say...he is a farmer.

Of course, there are still some differences from farmers.

Every night during dinner, civil servants would come to tell them about history, and at the same time, the Eight Banners soldiers of the Kangxi Dynasty would personally tell what the Eight Banners soldiers had done. This scene undoubtedly did not make the soldiers who built the legion feel angry.

In addition, after plowing the soil and planting seeds every day, they also had to be drilled by officers from the Ming Dynasty. I heard that these officers were all martial arts students from the "Guozijian, the first academy of the Ming Dynasty".

Li Youwen didn't know how serious it was, but in this production and construction army, the Ming army provided two meals every day, and he could listen to historical stories in the evening, which made Li Youwen very satisfied.

I heard that he could also receive several hundred coppers in military pay every month. This made Li Youwen even more excited and vowed to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty!
What?Hairy?

It's all just the stigmatization of those pure demons. My Ming Dynasty is the Chinese orthodoxy. Those pure demons who know nothing and have those disgusting pigtails are the demons!
Li Youwen was so indignant that he even wanted to join the frontline team to conquer the Qingyao!

Li Youwen is not a person, he is a soldier of the Construction Corps.

He is just a microcosm.

The entire construction corps quickly reclaimed fertile land in Guilin and Liuzhou, and was also responsible for repairing city walls and sometimes maintaining public security.

This was Zhu Houcong's first step in transforming them.

During the Kangxi Dynasty, the Ming army attacked other planes for the first time. They didn't know much about the local conditions. They just hastily organized the surrendered troops into new camps and went with the army to fight. The prisoners of war were kept in prisoner-of-war camps and waited. The end of the war.

To be honest, the disadvantages are huge.

On the one hand, the military discipline and quality of those who surrendered are far inferior to those of the Ming army. They can only have some combat effectiveness when they act together with the Ming army and do not disrupt the local order. Once they are allowed to act alone, there is a high probability that they will surrender to the enemy again and return to the enemy. Embraced by the Qing court.

Now, using these prisoners, Zhu Houcong could test his own ideas, so he established two construction corps.

Each legion has 5 people, which can be said to greatly exceed the number of battalion-level units in the battle sequence, ranging from [-] to [-].

Among them were prisoners of war.

Of course, there are also local people who can't survive and take the initiative to join the army.

For these 10 people, Zhu Houcong did not expect them to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and perform meritorious service, so he just gave them a cleansing of their minds, some training, and they were responsible for plowing the land, transporting grain, building city walls and other trivial matters. They were called legions, but they were actually men of the people.

Of course, every ten days (ten days), there must be two days of simple military training. At least they must be able to develop certain formations according to the instructions of the officers.

It is impossible to compare with the armies with similar names in later generations.

But for Zhu Houcong now, it is barely enough.

The cities captured by the Ming Dynasty cannot be thrown away casually. They need to be garrisoned by troops.

So this is the role of the production and construction corps.

On the one hand, production and construction are carried out locally, and on the other hand, troops can be stationed there to deter the elderly and children who are ready to take action.

At the same time, an 'internship' can also be conducted for the latest martial arts graduates from the Imperial College. Outstanding graduates will be assigned to front-line combat units to become army staff officers or grassroots officers, while officers with average grades will still be interned in the production and construction corps, etc. Now that you understand how to command, let's go to the front line.

All in all, the establishment of the production and construction corps has more advantages than disadvantages.

But at the same time, Zhu Houcong was also considering organizing the frontline battle sequence into a legion.

Previously, the army was divided into battalions for easier control. Each battalion had different generals. They did not control all the troops. Even if there was a special situation, some people wanted to rebel and some did not. Naturally, it can be restrained and weaken the rebels' strength.

If it is necessary to go on an expedition, then a general will be appointed from the imperial court to lead two or three central battalions, seven or eight local battalions, and local frontier troops to go out together. Such a composition is the most in line with the emperor's wishes: no army can rebel, and no army can rebel. Mutinies that often occurred during the Song Dynasty occurred.

As for the army, it will also be very easy to manipulate. Just say "today's pay is on the school field, no need to wear armor", and an elite team can be ruined.

But for Zhu Houcong today, this method of strengthening the stability of imperial power is not necessary, because he has become a symbol of the empire, and the generals have trusted him very much and are willing to sacrifice their lives for him.

Even if the rebels are excluded, Zhu Houcong can win over the army with his personal cultivation level.

"His Majesty!"

Suddenly, a thick voice appeared in Zhu Houcong's ears.

Zhu Houcong looked back and saw that Zhang Juzheng had arrived and bowed his hands to Zhu Houcong. He was no longer as arrogant as he was in the Wanli Dynasty.

Seeing this, Zhu Houcong nodded calmly, picked up the cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "Sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Juzheng immediately sat cautiously on the chair to the left of Zhu Houcong. He was very cautious, as if he had returned to that cautious era, and did not dare to do anything arrogant.

Seeing Zhang Juzheng being so careful, Zhu Houcong couldn't help but smile softly, and then said: "Has the Wanli Dynasty made arrangements?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhang Juzheng stood up quickly and reported: "Your Majesty, the minister has entrusted His Majesty Wanli to Yi Wentai...to His Majesty Taiping, and the army has been handed over to Qi Jiguang to mobilize, obey the unified command, and march towards Fujian and Jiangxi , inserted directly into the south of the Yangtze River to contain the army in the south of the Yangtze River..."

Zhang Juzheng can be said to be eloquent.

Zhu Houcong was particularly satisfied with this.

After all, it was his request to ask Zhang Juzheng to come here.

Has Zhang Juzheng ever fought? Can he fight?If he is placed on the front line, he can only be used as a strategist, and his effect may not be as good as that of a military staff officer.

It's better to let him come back and take his place here to plan the construction of the army and unified planning for the rear.

Zhang Juzheng should be used by Xiao He instead of Zhang Liang.

The frontal battlefield was rampant, but Zhu Houcong did not want the rear battlefield to be filled with fire.

And Zhang Juzheng has this ability to turn decay into magic.

As the saying goes, there are specialties in the arts. Although Zhu Houcong was the emperor, he did not feel that he would be better than professionals in certain professions.

Just like asking him to command an army, he absolutely cannot be compared with Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou.In addition to talent and learning, Du Fu and Li Bai's talents cannot be concealed by their status as emperors.

What the emperor has to do is to lead these talented and learned people to build a better future.

Seeing Zhang Juzheng working so hard, Zhu Houcong couldn't help but smile softly, and then said: "Zhang Qing, what do you think the rear should do?"

Zhang Juzheng had already made plans in his mind. When Zhu Houcong came to ask, he immediately started talking: "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, the idea of ​​building a legion is ingenious. New policies should be implemented in the newly occupied areas, such as taxation, farming, etc...."

After listening to Zhang Juzheng's report, Zhu Houcong was very satisfied. Then, without waiting for Zhang Juzheng to finish speaking, he raised his hand and said, "Since you are prepared, I will leave this place to you."

After hearing Zhu Houcong's words, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but be stunned, and then said: "Your Majesty, are you going to lead the troops and go to the front line?"

Zhu Houcong shook his head.

"I want to go back. I still have some things to deal with over there."

"Sir, I send you off to Your Majesty."

……

Three days passed in a flash.

Beijing, the Forbidden City, inside the Yangxin Hall.

Qianlong, Huan Huan Lafayette, and Ruo Qing sat together, Qianlong's face was filled with anticipation.

Battle reports from the front line come one after another. Most of them are: "Our army and Guiyang defeated the bandit army, beheaded [-] people, and the tactics were transferred to Changsha." Located in Xiamen'......

Qianlong was not a fool either.

He naturally understood what was going on.

The battle situation on the front line is so good, why are so many cities gone and the front line is getting further and further behind?
The incompetence on the front line made Qianlong angry.

Although he also knew that abandoning some cities was an inevitable choice, in any case, this was enough to make Qianlong angry.

You bunch of untouchables, can't you use your lives to entangle those Ming thieves, do your loyalty and duty to the Qing Dynasty, and be as good as those Ming thieves?
Qianlong was very angry, so he was depressed these days, but he did not dismiss the generals on the front line.

Changing generals at the last minute?I can only say that I am afraid that I will die unhappy, right?

Anyway, Qianlong would not change generals before the battle unless there were some major mistakes.

"Your Majesty, don't be anxious."

Ruoqing saw Qianlong's expression and couldn't help but smile. Then she took the initiative to step forward and wiped Qianlong's face. She blinked and looked a little shy. She said to Qianlong: "With Emperor Taizong's soldiers and horses, we must definitely Can win~"

After hearing Ruo Qing's words, Qianlong took a deep breath and said to Ruo Qing: "What Qing Qing said is that I am confused."

After saying that, Qianlong grabbed Ruo Qing's hand and said affectionately to Ruo Qing: "How's it going? Is the time up? Can I communicate with Emperor Taizong?"

When Ruoqing saw this, she rolled her eyes and then whispered: "Kiss me, Your Majesty, and I will tell Your Majesty."

Qianlong:?
He resisted the urge to slap Ruo Qing to the ground, and then gently pecked Ruo Qing. Only then was Ruo Qing satisfied. Then she smiled brightly and said to Qianlong: "Your Majesty, the old rule is, say Just agree.”

Qianlong immediately shouted 'agree'.

And soon, the familiar text box came again.

[You have agreed to the conversation with 'Qing Taizong Huang Taiji' and the link is being built. 】

[The link is built. Due to insufficient energy, your call time can only last half an hour. Please note. 】

And soon, Huang Taiji's face appeared in front of Qianlong again.

Qianlong's face was full of excitement, and Huang Taiji seemed to be even more excited than Qianlong.

"Emperor Taizong, when will you send troops to support me..."

"Good descendants, good descendants, when will you send troops to help me..."

Both sides spoke almost at the same time, but fell silent at the same time.

Qianlong heard Huang Taiji's words, and the excitement on his face gradually disappeared: "What did you say?! You need our help?!"

"What? You want me to help you, instead of you helping me?!"

And Huang Taiji looked like he had seen a ghost: "Aren't you a unified dynasty?! Why do you still need Ben Khan's help? What can Ben Khan do to help? There are only tens of thousands of cavalry in total. After defeating our Eight Banners, The entire clan will be exterminated!”

Huang Taiji had just established himself as emperor, and the transition between 'I' and 'Benhan' was not smooth yet.

But the surprise in his words could not be concealed.

Qianlong took a deep breath and tried to keep his mood as calm as possible.

Soon, Qianlong said: "Hang up the call and use this time to speak to future generations!"

The ancestors have no hope.

If you talk too much to Emperor Taizong, I am afraid that you will have to divide your troops to rescue Emperor Taizong. You should hope that future generations will save you.

This is what Qianlong is thinking now.

what?
How about Huang Taiji without his own rescue?
What does this have to do with me?Emperor Taizong Jiren has his own destiny and should be able to get through the difficulties smoothly.

As a famous selfish emperor in history, Qianlong paid no attention to anything.

For him, there are only two choices: 'useful' and 'useless'.

With the interruption of communication, Huang Taiji was shocked and speechless for a moment.

"Great Khan... Great Khan... No, I should call you the Emperor now."

At this moment, a burst of cheerful words came from outside the tent: "We have already gone to provoke the Ming army in Jinzhou. The men have gathered and are ready to fight the Ming army at any time and destroy Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town!"

"When are we going to do it?! Now that we have proclaimed ourselves emperor, we are at odds with the Ming Dynasty. We are so afraid of him!"

The disciples of the Eight Banners were beaming with joy, but Huang Taiji looked very ugly.

"Aisin Gioro Hongli?! Are these my descendants?! Damn, shameful!"

After Huang Taiji cursed angrily, he took a deep breath and tried to regain his composure: "Send orders to all the ministries not to fight. Before the news reaches Ming Dynasty, cancel the imperial title. After North Korea is pacified and Mongolia is conquered, he can be emperor again." Number!"

This time, he was severely fooled by this guy named Hongli!

Don't let him know who Hongli's ancestor is, Huang Taiji vowed to set him up on the wall so that he has no chance to be born!
