The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 556 Lost the wife and lost the army

The New First Army was his first step in reforming the army.

Now that the new first army has completed the recruit training and passed the trial, the new characters will naturally be removed and become the first army of the National Defense Army.

It's not that Jiang Chuan has considered reorganizing the army into the Royal Army and the Royal Navy, which may be more suitable in the current imperial era.

However, in the end Jiang Chuan decided to form the National Defense Forces.

In this regard, he admitted that he was greatly influenced by the German Third Reich.

He does not have the crazy idea of ​​establishing a so-called democratic country in the current state of popular wisdom.On the contrary, he believes that the monarchy is still the most suitable political system for this era.

However, the monarchy in his mind is not the current monarchy where the emperor hides in the deep palace all day long, with all kinds of red tape, but a monarchy similar to the head of state of the Third Reich.

In any case, the Third Reich must not be called a democratic country, there is no doubt about it.

What he wants to establish is an imperial state with soldiers in power.

Therefore, psychologically, I am more inclined to learn from the Third Reich.

Of course, this is only the current preliminary idea, and there will definitely be changes and modifications in the future, but the big framework is basically determined.

"Your Highness, the conferring ceremony is over, what instructions do you have?"

When Jiang Chuan was in a trance, Bai Mu's voice pulled him back.

"Oh, it's all right, let's bring the troops back. Take a good rest for a few days, and you are about to set off again." Jiang Chuan said in a deep voice.

Bai Mu naturally understood that they would go to the south of the Yangtze River in a few days and join forces with the Second Army to attack Zheng Zhilong who was entrenched in the southeast region.

"By the way, the 47th Army is going with you this time." Jiang Chuan added.

"Your Highness, the 47th Army is going too? The capital?" Bai Mu asked in a low voice, a little surprised.

He didn't finish his sentence, but Jiang Chuan also understood what he meant.

"Don't worry about this. The 38th Army is still there, and the Guards are also there. If those young people have the courage to come out, they will be eliminated."

Looking at Jiang Chuanruo's meaningful smile, Bai Mu felt a little dazed.

Your Highness is going to set up a set of fishing.

"The reason why the 47th Army is going this time is because the Zheng family has been in the southeast for decades after all, and there are British people behind them as backup. I am afraid that your two armies, the First Army and the Second Army, are not strong enough. After all, the The territory still needs troops to occupy it." Jiang Chuan slightly explained.

Bai Mu listened attentively.

"In addition, the main reason is that many of the training methods and tactics of your first army have not been popularized. This time, the joint battle of the three armies is for the convenience of communication, so that the other two armies can also learn. Improve the omissions and deficiencies together during the battle. Remember, the battlefield is always the best teacher and touchstone, and you will know whether these things you have been practicing can be used on the battlefield."

Jiang Chuan continued to explain.

Only then did Bai Mu fully understand Jiang Chuan's painstaking efforts, nodded and said: "The general understands what His Highness means. But the 38th Army hasn't withdrawn yet."

Jiang Chuan said with a smile: "You start first, and the 38th Army will start after the 47th Army returns."

Bai Mu nodded and stopped talking.

"If there's nothing wrong, then bring the troops back," Jiang Chuan said.

Bai Mu took the order, but when he turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly stopped, turned around again and said: "Your Highness, there is one more thing to report."

Jiang Chuan froze for a moment, motioned him to say.

Bai Mu then told what Chen Jiaying came to the capital to seek.

After hearing this, Jiang Chuan was a little surprised and said: "There is such a stubborn woman, who is affectionate, righteous, kind-hearted, and seems quite courageous, she is really a strange woman."

Bai Mu also agreed: "Your Highness is right, the general is very grateful to hear it. That's why I decided to bring her to the capital."

"Okay, Ji Biao, come here." Jiang Chuan turned his head and waved to Ji Biao, the head of the Guards standing not far behind.

Ji Biao walked over quickly, Jiang Chuan pointed to Bai Mu and said, "You bring him to the palace tomorrow."

Ji Biao took the order, and gave a standard military salute to his old boss Bai Mu again: "General, please give me instructions!"

Bai Mu punched him on the chest and said: "You boy, please protect Your Highness for me. If something goes wrong with His Highness, please come and see me."

Ji Biao puffed out his chest and said loudly: "General, please rest assured. Even if Ji Biao loses his head, His Highness will not be in danger."

Only then did Bai Mu laugh, and said: "I still know what you are capable of, kid. Your Highness trusts you, so you should do your best, and don't weaken the reputation of our guard camp."

Ji Biao naturally agreed.

Jiang Chuan returned to Beijing with the Manchu civil and military escorted by the Guards, while Bai Mu took the New First Army back to the station outside the city for repairs.

Jiang Chuan now has a small habit, that is, he likes to bring the Manchurian civil and military with him every time he greets and sends off the army.

The reason is simple: demonstrations.I just want to let these people see that if you want to use your brains, you should carefully weigh whether your brains can be hard.

So far it looks good.At least those who try to stir up trouble only dare to make small moves that cannot be put on the table, and no one dares to openly rebel.

In fact, sometimes Jiang Chuan really hopes that these people will make a fuss, and then he can justifiably carry out a big cleaning.

But when the reform of the currency system was announced last time, those guys who pretended to be aggressive in the court ended miserably, and finally the mastermind behind the scenes was also dug out.

The black hand behind the scenes is Wucheng Wang Ji Zhengyi, who is known as the sage king among the masters of the Ji family.

After being tortured, the old guy's motive for doing things was not instigated by Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, etc., but worried that his family's property would be swallowed up by Jiang Chuan with the so-called new currency.

This old man is the emperor's uncle and the brother of the old emperor Ji Zhengde, and Ji Zhengde's father also likes this son very much, and Ji Zhengde also likes this brother very much, so he often rewards him.

This old guy didn't like women in his life, but gold and silver.Many industries in the capital are actually owned by his family.Although the Ming Dynasty prohibits the imperial family from doing business, it is just a ban in name only.

So, over time, this old guy has accumulated a lot of property.

So this time when he heard that Jiang Chuan was going to reform the currency system and issue banknotes, the old guy was in a hurry, so he encouraged those idiots to come out and make trouble, trying to use public opinion to force Jiang Chuan to cancel the New Deal.

But he didn't expect Jiang Chuan to strike so fiercely and decisively, the old guy was totally vulnerable.

In the end, this incident involved dozens of officials, clans, and ministers, all of whom were escorted to Caishikou and had their heads chopped off.

Their property was eventually confiscated.

People in the capital shook their heads and sighed when they mentioned this matter, saying that this "virtuous king" was clever but was misunderstood by his cleverness. In the end, his family property was not saved, and he lost his head. It is really stupid to really lose his wife and lose his army.
