It’s not just a hasty, it’s simply a nonsense!

All the appointments just now were almost all promotions, which has been extremely rare since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.

Officials of the Ming Dynasty paid particular attention to qualifications. An official studied hard from a hard time to a scholar, a juren, and a jinshi, and then entered the Hanlin Academy or became a Shuji scholar, and was sent to the local area to serve as a seventh-rank county magistrate, and then rose from level to level according to his political achievements. It can be said that 99% of officials have this process.

Even if someone is promoted higher than the level, he is basically middle- and low-level officials, and he will be looked down upon by other officials and may even cause conflicts.

For example, in real history, Yang Sichang was such a senior official who was promoted beyond the level, and the result was that many people in the court looked down on him.

His strategy of "four fronts and six corners, ten sides to open a net" against the peasant army was originally very effective. If it was implemented truthfully, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong would have to finish it. However, Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Wenzhao were incompatible with him, which led to his later defeat and suicide. This shows the disadvantages of promotion from the level.

In fact, compared with the other few, this is still a small problem. The Tengxiang Four Guards were reorganized and settled in the inner city, the Tianxiong Army entered Beijing and expanded, Sun Chuanting formed a new army, and Qin Liang and Yuyue's third-level governors and three provinces were also expanded.

Where is the silver? Where is the food? Where is the weapons and equipment?

Your Majesty must not know how much money it costs to train troops?

Taking the border army as an example, a infantryman's monthly salary is one tael and two cents of silver and half a stone of rice, a set of armor and a sword requires six taels, and if it is built by the Ministry of Works, it requires ten taels.

According to the court's discount of one stone of rice, one tael of silver (in fact, the price is very expensive, and it often costs more than one tael of silver for a stone of rice, especially the disaster in the north, and the price of grain is even more outrageous). The armored sword is counted as four years, and it takes at least twenty-nine taels a year to raise an infantryman.

Cavalry is even more expensive, with a monthly salary of one tael and five cents plus half a stone of rice. The armor is calculated according to the price of infantry. Most war horses buy fifteen taels per horse from Xuanfu Datong. The standard consumption of mainland military horses is one bunch of ten kilograms a day, two or three liters of beans, and three hundred and sixty bunches of grass a year. Ten stone beans are used at most. The war horses are only used for three or four years, and the loss rate is very high.

To raise a cavalry for a year, you will need to pay 18 taels of silver and 18 taels of military horses. To add armor and swords, it will cost at least 40 taels.

A rough calculation is that a total of 290,000 taels of infantry are needed in a year, and a total of 400,000 taels of cavalry are needed in a year.

This is just a normal spending. There are rewards for regular surveillances and training. Let’s calculate the average of two taels per year. If you want to mobilize troops to fight, the cost of deportation will not be raised, and the consumption of grain, fodder and beans will increase. The cost of recruiting soldiers and settling down a family is 5 taels, and the pension for death to fight is 15 taels...

Your Majesty, you will be recruiting at least 100,000 troops at this moment. All of them are calculated as infantry. It takes at least 3 million taels a year. In addition, there are nearly 200,000 troops on the nine sides, as well as soldiers from the inner camps and soldiers from various places...

How old are we in the Ming Dynasty? Your Majesty, don’t you know what you think?

Chongzhen took all the performances of Wen Tiren and others. Of course, he knew that conscription would cost money, and he also knew that this promotion would definitely shock the court, but so what? Extraordinary means must be taken in extraordinary times.

Except for Han Shanhe who was promoted, the rest of the people were definitely called capable people in the list he compiled.

Especially Yang Sichang and Hong Chengchou were in the commander-level in Chongzhen's mind. They could fight to kill Tartars, and could write to write to do internal affairs. They were one of the few all-round talents.

In real history, Yang Sichang has an advantage that others don’t have - he is not afraid of taking the blame, and is very trusted by his ex, but his ex is really not good, so Yang Sichang eventually died because he took the blame.

Although Hong Chengchou is stained, Chongzhen also intends to accept it. He really needs talents very much now. Besides, if it weren't for the end of the road, few people would have made such a choice.

After all, what Jianlu can give is impossible to give more than he gives.

Loyalty is not something that is born with. Chongzhen knew in his heart that as an emperor, he should know what kind of person to use in what situations.

Compared with all-round talents like Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang, Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng's abilities are more reflected in the tactical level, such as the general who guards one side and the ability to command a war alone.

Although Hong and Yang are also very powerful in internal affairs, they are slightly worse than Wen Tiren, who specializes in internal affairs.

In addition, Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces who are currently commanding the army on the front line, has a good command ability, but is more suitable for being a staff officer. By the way, he takes over the important task of the Ministry of Revenue and serves as a full-time staff officer and logistics manager.

First of all, these people are not the Donglin Party, and secondly, they are not the same faction or the same system. They have the main suppression of the peasant army, some are the main scrupulous people, some are the main scrupulous people, some are the main strife and some are the main strife, which is more convenient for Emperor Chongzhen to check and balance.

There is also Qin Liangyu, the envoy of Shiquan Xuanfu. This female general was particularly valued by Emperor Chongzhen. Even though she knew that her husband was framed and killed by the eunuch party in the court, she still fought loyally for the Ming Dynasty throughout her life.

Qin Liang was extremely wise, good at riding and shooting, and good at writing articles. The army she formed was a white-rod soldier, and was a strong soldier who dared to fight. He was one of the only armies in the late Ming Dynasty that could fight with the Tatars and win.

Her brother Qin Bangping, Qin Banghan died in Hunhe in the first year of Taichang, brother Qin Minping died in She'an, son Ma Xianglin died in Xiangyang, daughter-in-law Zhang Fengyi died in Anyang, nephew Qin Gongming died in Shapu...

What is a loyal and wise man? Those who die in the country after the fall of the Ming Dynasty can be called it, and those who shed their last drop of blood to resist foreign humiliation should be called it.

It’s a pity that Qin Liangyu spent all his family fortune for the Ming Dynasty and fought for the rest of his life, but in the end he only ended up regretting his life, which is a pity.

Chongzhen knew that the Baigan soldiers had been exhausted after the bloody battle in Hunhe. He now planned to make up for this regret, let Qin Liangyu, the Baigan soldiers, and all unyielding people see the revival of the Ming Dynasty and the peace of the people.

As for Huang Degong's efforts to the Yongwei Camp, it was originally the reorganization of the Tengxiang Four Guards in the eighth year of Chongzhen, and Emperor Chongzhen only took this step forward.

This is even more true for Sun Chuanting and Qin soldiers. He originally wanted to let Sun Chuanting train the Beijing camp on his behalf, but this happened to the court early, so for the sake of the overall situation, he had to send him directly to the border of Shanxi and Shaanxi.

The Yongwei camp, the Qin soldiers, Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army and Qin Liangyu's Baigang soldiers, could be regarded as the strongest army in the late Ming Dynasty. If it were not for the court's logistics supply that could not keep up, and the endless internal struggles of the Donglin Party members, the Ming Dynasty would never have been cheaper with these troops.

The Ming Dynasty actually had countless opportunities to turn the tables, but it was actually forced to die.
