Although the new army in Beijing has been in training for more than half a year and has already had the prototype of elite troops, the army that has not experienced the baptism of war cannot be called a strong army.

A month ago, after receiving the order from Zhu Youjian, Xue Lian drew 20,000 troops from the Beijing Camp and rushed to the Huguang area under the leadership of Mao Yuanyi, the general of Shenji Camp and Feng Xun, the general of the Army Camp, to participate in the battle to wipe out Zhang Xianzhong and others.

This will give Lu Xiangsheng and other troops a chance to breathe, and the other will use war instead of training, so that the new army in the Beijing camp will grow in battle.

To fight monsters and upgrade, of course, you will first pick a small monster to fight. If a novice fights the boss one by one, it is purely a behavior of zì    shā.

Although Zhang Xianzhong and others have been through the battle formation for a long time, their morale cannot be compared with Later Jin, and are suitable for new troops to practice.

As early as the beginning of the rectification of the Beijing camp, Chongzhen transferred Mao Yuanyi from military weapons to the Beijing camp to serve as the general.

What I saw at the beginning was Mao Yuanyi's vision and mind in the production, development and use of firearms, but Zhu Youjian also knew that he was also a good player in leading troops, and the Shenji Camp was the best platform for him to show his strengths.

Feng Xun was an old man in the Beijing camp. He worked in the Beijing camp for several generations and was originally a guerrilla in the army. It is reported that he liked to read military books and was quite strategic. He usually had close contacts with Xue Lian and Wei Shichun. With the strong recommendation of the two, he obtained the position of general of the Army camp.

The Yongwei Battalion has now expanded its army to 20,000. At the request of Zhu Youjian, a new car camp with more than 5,000 people has been established.

The chariot camp was equipped with two hundred side vans, powered by the labor camp's handicraftsmanship to drive the ox. Each chariot was equipped with a Bolang machine cannon weighing about 300 kilograms, five musketeers, three gunners, ten spearmen, and eight sword and shield hands.

The purpose of establishing the Vehicle Camp was to go out of seclusion and fight with Jiannu in the future to protect the infantry formation from being attacked by the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry.

Qi Jiguang and Sun Chengzong both established che camps, and the Ministry of War held various archives of che camps, so it was very easy to build a military army, just follow the example. Although the side vans had not been tested by large-scale battles, their performance in small-scale conflicts is still worthy of recognition.

Later, it became deserted, and the main reason was that the court had no money to build and maintain it, which was too expensive.

Now that Zhu Youjian has a lot of money, it is natural to restore the chariot camp.

Strong firepower output and excellent shielding ability are the biggest characteristics of side vans, but the weakness of poor mobility is also the reason why it cannot be equipped in large quantities. Zhu Youjian decided to first equip a car battalion, and then based on past experience, he continuously improved his tactics during daily training, so that his tactics of fighting with infantry and cavalry will be more mature.

The configuration of the Folang machine cannon mother gun makes its firing speed faster than that of the musket, and its lethality is much better than that of the musket, and its strike distance is longer.

The existence of the chariot camp gave the Ming soldiers a sense of security. It was much better to have a cover in front of the battle than to face the charge of the slave thief cavalry.

The future sweeping of Liaodong will be accomplished by these troops, especially the Yongwei Battalion, which was highly expected by Zhu Youjian.

Whether it is Zuo Liangyu and Zu Dashou, they cannot use it, but they must not be at the forefront.

Since the Guanning Army is so unreliable, the importance of Shanhaiguan is completely highlighted. As long as this heroic pass is in the hands of a reliable person, it is impossible for Jiannu to break through here.

In the original history, if Wu Sangui had not opened the door, the Qing army would not have conquered this world's most powerful pass.

The Shanhaiguan defense line has been connected with Liaodong, and General Wu Xiang is an important figure among the Liaodong generals. This means that the power of Liaodong has extended to the nose of the capital.

This situation must be changed immediately, and it is necessary to separate Shanhaiguan and Liaodong from the middle, making it more difficult to connect the two sides.

With Zhu Youjian's order, the army received a letter from the Ministry of War: General Wu, the General of Shanhaiguan, Jin, and the left governor, led the headquarters to be transferred to the general of Jizhen, and the former general of Jizhen, Wang, led the headquarters to move to the town of Baoding, and served as the general of Baoding; Deputy General of Yongwei Battalion Zhang, led 10,000 troops to Shanhaiguan and promoted to the general of Shanhaiguan. The three troops must complete the transfer of the town before the end of the year, otherwise it will be judged as delaying the military opportunity.

No matter what Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou thought about it, at least they did not dare to violate the imperial court's orders on the surface, so a vigorous three-army move to the town quickly began.

Fortunately, the three armies moved to the town not far, and the military camps were all ready-made. As long as the chief generals make profits and the soldiers obey the Shangguan, it is not difficult to complete within more than twenty days.

The general of Jizhen, Wang Guowei, belongs to the most indifferent one.

His headquarters has more than 6,000 troops, and his combat power is not strong. Jizhen is sandwiched between Shanhaiguan and the capital, and is more of a second-line army that serves as a substitute. It has long lost the heroic spirit of Qi Jiguang when he was the general in the Wanli period.

Wang Guowei, who received the Ministry of War, did not say a word, immediately dispatched his subordinates, guerrillas and other generals, and ordered his soldiers to pack up all kinds of miscellaneous items. Within three days, the entire army drove to the west and arrived in Baoding within ten days.

Wu Xiang was extremely reluctant. He had already thought that it would be very difficult to contact his brother-in-law as long as he went to Ji Town to station.

If you want to go to Liaodong, Shanhaiguan is the only way to go. Because there are mountains and steep mountains that are difficult to climb. If there is an emergency, the daylily will be cold after climbing through the mountains.

After receiving the document from the Ministry of War, he immediately rushed to Jinzhou, more than 300 miles away overnight to discuss the key points with Zu Dashou.

After discussing for a long time, the two guessed Zhu Youjian’s intention: the emperor or the court was prepared for the Liaodong generals.

In fact, Zhu Youjian’s approach is not so much a conspiracy, but rather an open conspiracy and means. It is not difficult to judge the person involved.

But even if the two of them make accurate judgments, they are helpless and cannot think of a good way to deal with it.

Liaodong is still the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the Guanning Army also belongs to the Ming Dynasty army. It is not impossible to let you move to the town with millions of military pay from the court every year? What's wrong with you? Besides, it has also added the title of left governor, which is the first-rank official position and belongs to the best among military generals.

In desperation, Wu Xiang rushed back to Shanhaiguan after a rest for a night, and immediately ordered the entire army to pack up and arrive in Jizhen within fifteen days.

Zhang Kui, deputy general of Yongwei Battalion, was also a brave general and had always been under Sun Yingyuan's command. With the recommendation of Sun Yingyuan, he was gradually promoted to the position of deputy general and was a trustworthy loyal and brave man.

After Zhu Youjian's deployment was reached, Wu Xiang's troops were in the mezzanine between the capital and Shanhaiguan, with elite troops monitoring the north and south sides. Once there was any movement, they would be attacked by both sides.

This is just a plan to make the worst, not that Wu Xiang has a strange intention.

In history, Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui did not make any major rebellious moves until the 17th year of Chongzhen.

But as the emperor, Zhu Youjian's actions were very normal, especially for Liaodong generals at both ends, who had to be more careful.

You can have the intention to harm others, but you must be guarded against others.

This sentence refers only to emperors, and ordinary people are better for being kind.

This move mainly weakened Zu Dashou's strength.

The Wu Xiang army currently has more than 3,000 cavalry and more than 5,000 infantry. After Wu Sangui led his troops to build the army in Shaanxi, the father and son had more than 5,000 cavalry under him, which is an army that cannot be ignored.

These more than 5,000 people came to the pass, which meant that Zu Dashou had a lot of help. In addition, the 10,000 elite soldiers of the Yonggu Battalion behind him, I believe he would restrain him a lot.

With the arrival of the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the court began to officially take holidays, and it would not resume normal work until the 18th day of the first lunar month after the New Year.

All the yamen in the capital were sealed behind closed doors, and everyone started to be busy with the New Year. The people sent by officials from all over the country who had returned home and returned home. The students who came to the capital in advance to prepare for the next spring exam were gathered in groups of three or five to chat, and the atmosphere of the entire capital seemed both relaxed and cheerful.

Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, who were far away in Shaanxi, and Lu Xiangsheng from Huguang, received the New Year rewards from Zhu Youjian respectively.

Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiang were promoted to the title of Grand Secretary of the Dongge, and were given a flying fish suit and a jade belt. Yin's son was the hereditary Jinyiwei Qianhu.

Sun Chuanting was given the title of Minister of War in Jin, and was given a bullfighting uniform and a jade belt, which was the hereditary of the Jinyiwei hundred households.

After increasing the title of Grand Secretary, Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng have become important officials of the court who can compete with the cabinet ministers, and are no longer just a local territorial territory. The two are already qualified to enter the cabinet.

The two of them have been working hard for several years to afford this honor, and even if many people in the court are envious, jealous and hateful, it is useless. They have real achievements. Since the thieves gradually became stronger in the second year of Chongzhen, if it were not for Hong and Lu, they would have put out fires everywhere and killed countless thieves, how could they have seen a stable situation today?

Although Sun Chuanting suddenly achieved a high position, his contributions were indeed no less than Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng.

He resolutely ordered to go to Shaanxi, where the ministers feared him like a tiger. He successfully trained farms within one year, greatly reducing the pressure from the court, and defeated Gao Yingxiang, the iconic figure of the thief, indirectly dismantled the two major bandits in northern Shaanxi.

No matter which of these achievements is taken alone, they will surpass most officials in the court, especially the battle to destroy Gao Yingxiang, which can be said to be the most exciting victory of the court during the Chongzhen period.

Other generals who participated in the war also had their own rewards.

Although Hong Chengchou and others made contributions in command, there were still a group of military generals fighting bloody battles on the front line.

The general of the Qin army, Zhou, was given the title of left governor of Ji Jin, and his position was still under the Qin army. He was given a piece of armor by his nephew.

The General of Changping Zuo Liangyu was appointed as the Left Governor of Jin, and his position was still under Changping. He had a son, Jinyiwei, and was given a piece of mountain civil armor.

Li Chong, the deputy general of Liaodong aid and suppression, ranks as general of Jin, but still returned to Lu Xiangsheng's command and obeyed the orders, and was given armor and weapons.
