Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 21 Short-Term Training
Zhu Youjian tried his best to let the central officials around him see clearly the current situation of the Ming Empire by borrowing the past to explain the present.

Although people have class attributes, they also have the ideal of realizing social harmony and happiness in life.

Therefore, in Zhu Youjian's view, since he and the important imperial ministers present want to revive Daming and restore the stable and prosperous social order in the past, they must understand these principles and be willing to sacrifice the interests of their own class in exchange for The situation in which the distribution of social production benefits is balanced.

The southward move was not just as simple as his emperor going to Nanjing to be the emperor, and Ming continuing to continue Guozuo in the south.

In fact, Zhu Youjian's southward migration was to implant real governance concepts and political ideals into the imperial officials he relied on during the southward migration process.

If he, the simple Emperor Chongzhen, moved south to Nanjing without changing the ruling mode of the entire empire, then he would still not be able to save the Ming Dynasty that was about to perish, and the Chinese civilization would still not be able to avoid the doom of being ruled by a foreign race.

Most of these officials who only read the Four Books and Five Classics have always been accustomed to the Confucian way of governing the country.

In addition to being surprised by the sudden proposal of this rigorous class analysis by His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youjian, he also had a vague understanding.

As officials who were willing to flee with the lonely emperor Zhu Youjian in times of crisis, they were at least idealists, and they naturally cared about the country and the people. I am a fool, so I can understand the general idea of ​​what the emperor Zhu Youjian said, and he has also been inspired.

Li Banghua, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, felt that His Majesty seemed to be quite different from before. In his opinion, since Li Zicheng's army came under pressure, His Majesty seemed to have changed.

Before that, His Majesty today had no opinions, and was easily misled by the officials, and many times it was the officials who taught him how to be an emperor, and even used him as an emperor to achieve his own goals.

But the current situation is that His Majesty will teach these officials how to be high-ranking officials in the center of the empire, how to benefit the people, how to rule the Ming Dynasty, and even use these officials to accomplish their own goals.

Unknowingly, the style of the entire court has changed. In the past, the officials told the emperor what to do to be a good emperor, but now Zhu Youjian taught them what to do to be a good courtier. .

Zuo Zhongyun and Li Mingrui saw all these changes in his eyes. In his opinion, moving south is not just as simple as moving from north to south. When moving south, His Majesty the Emperor will be hindered by the external force contradiction of Li Zicheng. Their own forces were directly eradicated, and then smoothly regained financial and military power.

The current money and food are all controlled by Zhu Youjian's confidant, the internal official supervisor Wang Zhixin, and Zhu Youjian and Zhou Yuji's wife have become brothers and sisters, controlling the military power, and the Second Guards Army is also controlled by his confidants He Xin, the Imperial Horse Supervisor, is in charge.

Therefore, so that His Majesty Zhu Youjian, the emperor, has the power to issue orders in the southward withdrawal team, and the officials can only obey and try to understand the will of His Majesty today.

if not.The fate of Li Jiantai is the best example.

The temporary court held by Zhu Youjian in Baoding City at this time will make the officials begin to clearly understand the biggest contradictions and problems that they will face when they move south, and they will also begin to realize the real reason why Ming Dynasty has come to this point.

In order to fully follow the meaning of His Majesty Zhu Youjian, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, the civil servants withdrawing from the south have already started to greet the military attache, and the internal ministers are less arrogant, but no one would have thought that in the future, even if officials at all levels are intimate, they will not We have to face the situation of parting ways and turning against each other because of different policy opinions.

After the temporary court meeting in Baoding City, Zhu Youjian also had to start preparing to leave and continue southward.

The next stop is Cangzhou City in Hejian Prefecture.

Cangzhou City is also Zhu Youjian's last stop in Beizhili.

After resting in Cangzhou, he can directly enter the territory of Shandong Dezhou Prefecture, and then he will enter the territory of Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong.

Zhu Youjian asked Zuo Zhongyun, Li Mingrui and He Xin from Yumajian to go to Cangzhou City first to prepare for his departure from Baoding and his arrival here.

But he himself continued to stay in Baoding City with Li Banghua, Zhou Yuji and other important officials.

Next, not only would they have to face the Chuang army in the north, but also the army of the warlord Liu Zeqing, so Zhu Youjian asked Zhou Yuji to reorganize and train the [-] officers and soldiers under his command in a short period of time.

Although it may not be possible to transform [-] officers and soldiers into elites in all battles, at least the command level must be clarified immediately, and they must have the quality to basically implement orders and prohibitions.

Only in this way can the [-] troops of my own have a certain combat power, and will face all kinds of troops on the way to the south.

Zhu Youjian personally participated in this short-term training camp. He wanted to use his status as an emperor to enhance the enthusiasm of officers and soldiers in training.

At the same time, he also wanted to use this to make the [-] officers and soldiers always aware of whose soldiers they were, and always remember that the emperor was their master.

Zhou Yuji has always been good at training soldiers, and has worked in Qi's Army and Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army successively, so he has a whole set of experience in training soldiers.

In addition, now Emperor Zhu Youjian of the Ming Dynasty gave him a set of materials from the modern infantry training code. Zhou Yuji dared not ask how the emperor Zhu Youjian got this set of materials, but as a leader As a veteran soldier, he could see the advantages of this set of infantry drills at a glance.

Although Zhu Youjian is the supreme emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it is not time for him to put on airs. In order to complete the basic training of the [-] officers and soldiers under his command as soon as possible, he and Zhou Yuji worked out the latest "Daming Infantry Simplified Training Manual" overnight and "Firearms Training Manual" two sets of training programs.

Among them, most of the infantry training in "Daming Infantry and Cavalry Simple Training Exercises" was formulated by Zhu Youjian based on military training experience and Zhou Yuji's years of experience in leading troops, while most of the cavalry training was completed by Zhou Yuji.

The "Firearms Training Manual" was formulated based on the suggestions of craftsmen from the Weapons Bureau and officials from the Ministry of Industry. Basically, it only taught soldiers how to control firearms and how to practice three rounds of shooting.

Zhu Youjian planned to stay in Baoding for ten days, and only for ten days. Therefore, it is impossible to expect much effect from the training. It is enough to be able to deal with the bandit-like officers and soldiers under Liu Zeqing's command.

Ni Yuanlu, Zhu Zhaoming, and Wang Chengen, who were in charge of guarding the city, were stepping up their preparations for the battle.

And Zhu Youjian and Zhou Yuji led [-] officers and soldiers to step up training on the school grounds in the city.

The whole Baoding city is very lively, but it is also very orderly and peaceful.

However, this peace was short-lived, and when Zhu Youjian stayed in Baoding City on the eighth day, a sentry came to report.

Chuangjun Liu Fangliang has captured the entire territory of Zhending Mansion, and has now occupied the three counties of Dingxing, Rongcheng, and Xincheng. The county magistrate of Xiong County has fled and will arrive in Baoding soon!
