Two days later, the launch ceremony of the training camp was held as scheduled. As the founder and commander of the Ming Army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Chen Wen presided over the training ceremony of the new troops created for the Northern Expedition. As for the military formation ceremony, it would have to wait until the training was completed, and those unqualified officers were eliminated and soldiers would be launched. At that time, Chen Wen would also give him a new number.

However, in the training camp, "intellectual youth" like Ding Junjie and others only occupied half of the training participants, and the other half were completely veterans. Even the officers were all old subordinates who had followed Chen Wen for many years. From the day of the launching ceremony, the two sides were clearly divided, occupying the east and west areas of the training camp for training.

The new troops are conducting secret training, while the old troops have also begun dressing and rotation training. The troops of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are mainly divided into two types. The first type is field troops - those combat troops based on divisions and cavalry infantry battalions directly belonging to the Qi Wang Mansion; the other type is local garrisons, with the occupied prefectures and counties, with fewer than a thousand people, most of them are Wuzhou, Guilin, Chenzhou, Hunan, Xiangyang, Hubei, and Huaian, Huainan, all of which have four or six thousand combat troops. Some even have a combat battalion of a field troops as long as they change their number!

The local garrisons are actually no different from the old troops in terms of tactics, and they are enough to control the local area. Therefore, this reorganization is not preferred and will be maintained for the time being.

In comparison, there are as many as ten units at the first level of each division. Calculated by 11,000 combat soldiers per division, it is also the size of 11,000 combat soldiers. This round-up training requires no impact on local defense and rotation training in batches. The first thing is to train new tactics and adjust them to a brand new organization to achieve a perfect combination of tactics and organization.

After recapturing Jiangxi, the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has not fundamentally adjusted its organization for more than two years, and there are very few modifications to the tactics. At least there has not been fundamental adjustments, just fine adjustments.

First, he defeated the Eight Banners Army in Siming Lake, and then defeated the Southeast Jingbiao. The tens of thousands of Eight Banners Army led by Yue Le did not dare to cross the Qiantang River. At that time, the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang had already drew their swords and looked around, and they were invincible in the world!

In the next few years, Yue Le and Jiergalang were awarded their titles one after another, and the myth of the invincible Eight Banners Army was completely broken; the army headed south, and the two Jingnan vassals were executed by Lingchi; and to the decisive battle with the Qin vassal last year, the killer weapon of the Ming army in the southwest - the war elephant, and Luo Luo could not gain any advantage in front of the square.

Without an enemy that is enough to pose a threat, the momentum for change will decrease, and the army will rely more on more skilled tactics. However, over the years, while the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has been constantly fine-tuning, the military industry's weapon research and development and manufacturing have not stopped. With the accumulation of these years, a new batch of weapons and equipment was born. Chen Wen made his own adjustments based on the tactics of the Eight Banners New Army and had a material foundation.

In the battle of Weinan, the Eight Banners New Army defeated Wu Sangui's improved Spanish formation, which shocked the world. While Chen Wen was chasing, the main force of the new army quickly withdrew to the capital after conquering Xi'an.

The evacuation of the new army was a helpless move, but it was inevitable. The occupied area of ​​the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang had already occupied the south of the Huai River to the north, along the canal, and it was only 1,6700 miles away from the capital. It was still much closer than the 2,100 miles from Xi'an to Beijing, let alone the way to walk around Shanxi.

The situation in Shaanxi was destroyed, with Wu Sangui's main force, Wu Sangui himself fled west with thousands of defeated generals. Even Yang Shen's troops in Yan'an turned west to Ningxia after receiving the news, and they were very tempted to retreat to Gansu.

For the defense of Shaanxi, the Qing Dynasty handed over it to the Eight Banners Army of the Tunqi Army and the Green Camp troops drawn from Shanxi. Among them, the Tunqi Army only stayed here for a few months to stabilize the hearts of the people. The Governor of Xuanda Lu Chongjun was transferred to the Governor of the Three Borders of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and was granted full power by the Qing court to start operating Shaanxi again.

The result of the success of Wu Sangui's head was not something Ji Du didn't want, but it was just something that was forced by the situation. The new army hurried back to the capital, but divided the troops to two groups, returning to Tongguan all the way eastward, flowing down the Yellow River, and then heading northward; while the other team was led by Oboi, crossing the Yellow River, taking Shanxi, and taking the nearest route back to the capital.

The main troops led by Jidu, Liu Cheng and Fu Shou re-tracked the old road they came. The officials and generals along the way were more attentive. The new army received more attention, but did not delay the journey. What speed did the new army go to Shaanxi? When they return, due to the capacity of the Yellow River, it was faster. Even when they arrived in the capital, Oboi was still on the way.

Logically speaking, Oboi traveled through Shanxi and should have returned to the capital earlier than them. However, the Qing court issued an order to take the New Army and the Eight Banners Army to the north of Shanxi, show off his might outside the Great Wall, shock the Mongolian tribes in the south of the desert and then go to Zhangjiakou and return to the capital.

Previously, the rebellion of Wu Sangui, the Han governors and Mongolian tribes in the areas controlled by the Qing Dynasty were looking forward to it, waiting for a result to make a bet. Now the rebellion is basically quelled, and the Han governors are still fine. There are post stations, and the main force of the new army led by Ji Du and Liu Cheng passed by them. The Mongolian tribes also needed to let them see the spears, muskets and the captured heads to stabilize people's hearts.

The main force of the new army returned to the capital, and Shunzhi personally went out of the city to welcome him ten miles to commend the new army for quelling the Guanning Army Group rebellion like a destructive and destructive one.

Since Chen Wen's rise, the Qing Dynasty has suffered repeated defeats. Now it has finally achieved a victory over the great vassal states of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Even if it is just a rebel like Wu Sangui, it is extremely needed.

The rewards of the new army were honored. As the commander of the army, Prince Zheng Jidu was already Prince Heshuo. Shunzhi rewarded Jidu with a "hereditary" title of Prince Zheng. He did not reduce his title every generation, and his annual salary was increased to 10,000 taels of silver and 10,000 hu of rice. In addition, a hereditary palace was given as a commendation.

The commander of the army, Jidu, was like this. The Duke of Zhenguo was originally Beile. He was the winner of Hengyang's defeat and won the title of Duke of Zhenguo. This time, as the deputy commander, he led the partial army to restrain the general Yang Shen under Wu Sangui in northern Shaanxi and restored the title of Dorobel. The Minister of Guards, Obai, was the deputy commander of the army. In the battle of Tongguan, he divided his troops to intercept the defenders' escape westward escape. In the battle of Weinan, he was the deputy commander of the left wing and broke through Wu Sangui's right wing army. This was his first merit. He was promoted to the first-class Wu Duke and was awarded the title of First Warrior in Manchuria. As for Prince Xian Fushou, the right wing who was responsible for collapsed, and after the war, he was frustrated with his meritorious soldiers for no reason. He was resentful of the commander's decision, and his merits and demerits were offset to observe the results.

Jidu, Tunqi and Obai were rewarded. If the crimes committed by Fushou were not contradicted in the era of Nurhaci or Huang Taiji, there was no reason for merit or demerit. They were all from the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and Jidu and Fushou were both banner masters and princes, which was very different. As the deputy commander of the army, Liu Cheng, the new army's ministers and the staff officers in the war, was also considered to be of great significance from training to fighting. However, the identity of the Han army flag was there, and it was still a bit shocking in terms of merit and reward.

"The Han army inlaid yellow flag Meilezhangjing, the Prime Minister's Office of the General Office of the New Army and the Left Minister of the Ministry of War, Liu Cheng, Mu Yi came to surrender, made great contributions to the establishment of the new army, and went to fight against the rebellion. With the achievements of Youzanhua, he made great contributions to the court's strong army and quelling the rebellion. The state ancestral system was made, with the eight banners headed by Manchuria, and Liu Cheng, who carried the banner of the Manchuria Yellow Flag Meilezhangjing, was awarded Liu Jia's family, and was appointed as the Minister of the Dispersed Order of the Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office."

The Shunzhi Dynasty set up a guard office, and all the guards came from the Shangsan Banner. Among the guard offices, the first-rank chief ministers were the head of the guards, and two were from each of the upper three banners, such as Oboi, Sony, and Ebilong; the first-rank chief ministers were also from each of the upper three banners; and the Sanzhi Ministers granted by Liu Chengde were the deputy of the head chief ministers and the inner ministers. There was no fixed quota, and the second-rank official title, but they had already entered the core of the power of the imperial power.

A slave who raised the Han army flag, instead climbed onto many guards on the three flags of Manchu. Dissatisfaction was inevitable. However, Shunzhi trusted Liu Cheng very much, and even more so was indispensable here. He bought horse bones with a thousand gold coins and showed good intentions to other Han army flags and Han people. The guards were dissatisfied and could only let them bear it.

"I thank my master for your kindness, and I will live my emperor."

When he got up again, there was no Han army flag in this world, but Liu Jiacheng, who had a Manchu yellow flag, was added. Liu Cheng was ecstatic about this. Because of this identity, he had the possibility of independently leading a new army to fight. Otherwise, he would either lead the green camp or the ordinary Han army Eight Banners, and all these efforts would not be rewarded enough.

The reward ceremony was held and the celebration banquet began. Liu Cheng, the Manchu Yellow Banner Meile Zhangjing, did not get any surrounded by the Manchu Eight Banners, and it can even be said to have been treated coldly. However, without the Manchu Eight Banners, Liu Cheng happened to whisper with Zhu Zhixi, and then decided on the big thing before drinking and having fun.

After the celebration banquet, the Eight Banners and the relevant officials involved in the training of the new army did not go home to rest, but were left in the palace by Shunzhi. After drinking sobering tea, they were notified before the celebration banquet, and they quickly regained their former spirit. In fact, the officials present were also very clear about the content of the meeting.

"It was a gratifying thing for the new army to win a great victory. However, the defeated one was only Wu Sangui, the slave who was ungrateful to the master. The army of Zhejiang bandit Chen Wen was still on the south bank of the Huai River. From time to time, cavalry would even cross the Huai River to spy on the mountains and rivers in Huaibei."

What Shunzhi said was all known to the powerful. The army of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang did not cross the Huai River, but they had never missed the work and horse exploration. From the time of collecting Huainan, Chen Wenming clearly was rectifying the south. Fortunately, there was a stable rearward during the Northern Expedition. There was no way to fight in the Southern Ming Dynasty, but it was also a blessing in disgrace for the Qing Dynasty. Otherwise, they would have been finished long ago. How could they have the opportunity to train a new army and seize the last life-saving straw?

"According to information, although the Zhejiang bandits have not expanded too many divisions in the past two years, the local garrisons have not expanded at all. Liu Aiqing said that in the normal order of expanding the Zhejiang bandits, the new recruits enter the training camp and come out to supplement the local garrisons, while the excellent local garrisons are added to the combat camp. Chen Wen's command has no less than 300,000 troops, and it is easy to expand, and the new army has only more than one thousand troops, which is absolutely not enough!"

The expansion of the new army was the core of the issue. Defeating Wu Sangui was just a slow breath and avoiding the possibility that Chen Wen would be besieged by various local power groups in the north before the Northern Expedition. However, Chen Wen's threat was approaching, and they could no longer afford to delay even a day. They had to set up the plan for the expansion of the new army as quickly as possible, otherwise there would be no future.

"What the emperor said is very true. The slaves think that the new army has strong combat power and the Zhejiang bandits will not be able to compete with it. What is lacking now is nothing more than the number, and they should be expanded as soon as possible."

Jidu is the general secretary of the new army. This new army has even given him the hereditary. This is his invisible strength and the capital to call for trouble in the court in the future. The new army is expanded. Even if his rights must be limited to the first new army, his invisible influence will still penetrate into other new armies.

The banner owner of the Inlaid Blue Banner was like this, and many other powerful people agreed. Even the conservative royal families were speechless. This was impossible. In the battle of Weinan, the old tactics of the Eight Banners Army were completely destroyed by Wu Sangui's Spanish formation, and they were dragged down throughout the whole process. Even the banner master Fushou was implicated, so they naturally did not dare to say anything else.

The powerful and powerful expressed their attitudes one after another, and Shunzhi was very satisfied with this. Then they looked at Liu Cheng, who agreed, but did not leave the issue of expansion. But when it came to this point, expansion was a foregone conclusion, and Zhu Zhixi stood up and took the matter to a new level.

"Your Majesty, I think the reason why the new army can defeat Wu Ni is that the Eight Banners Army is more good at fighting than the Han people, but the old tactics are no longer enough to be used by the Eight Banners. Just like the New Army, you can learn from Taixi, use middle schools as the body and western learning as the use, so that the Qing Dynasty can be maintained forever."

In the late Ming Dynasty, learning Western learning was a fashion among scholars. In order to gain an advantage in the Liaodong battlefield, the Ming court purchased a large number of Western weapons, the most representative of which was the Red Barbarian Cannon. The Qing Dynasty also seized and made such weapons in the wars of the Ming Dynasty.

Now is not the era when the Qing Dynasty was imprisoned for two hundred years. The news of the new army's victory came, and Zhu Zhixi and other reformists were advocating that the gentry should open their eyes to see the world. Most of the powerful people in the Eight Banners responded from the side. At this time, Zhu Zhixi raised the world to the level of high school as the body and Western learning as the application. With the new army as a proof, it was already a roar like thunder.

"I think it's right. The new army is a clear proof that the Thai-Si warfare is better than China's warfare. To establish a new army that uses Western France, Thai-Si machinery is also indispensable. In the past two years, the Ministry of Works has purchased a lot of enterprises, and the number of them purchased by the previous dynasty is quite large. However, the management and craftsmen still remain in the old methods, which has really slowed down the production speed of weapons and equipment."

"I have thought about it these days and have a lot of knowledge about some workshops for the manufacturing of weapons in Taixi. I have decided to establish the Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau in Tianjin Acropolis to produce hydraulic power, wind machinery, and especially the weapons and armor needed by the new army, which will be made from machinery to provide the needs of the new army."

The current Ministry of Works has a large number of craftsmen and machinery. Not only is the shocking loss, but the production speed is also like a turtle. The new army has not expanded on a large scale in the past two years. In addition to the traditional resistance of the Eight Banners, the speed of renewal of weapons and equipment is also a major factor restricting its development.

In fact, the powerful and officials here are all discerning people. To put it nicely, this Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau is just a copy of the Military Industry Department of the Ming Army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Now it is just to ask the old system of the Ministry of Works and the corruption that can ensure that military production keeps up with the expansion speed of the new army.

However, in this new yamen, the general secretary appointed by Shunzhi was not the group of people from the Reform Party. Zhu Zhixi could not leave the capital. Zhang Daocheng and Hao Zongfu took the position of co-organizer and minister of the Joint Office. However, the general secretary was Ning Wanwo, who was an old minister from Liaodong. The political meaning of it can be smelled by anyone with a discerning eye.

"The emperor, expanding the new army and building the General Administration of Manufacturing are all good things that are beneficial to the country, but the Ministry of Revenue can't withdraw money anymore, so I also ask the emperor to send the treasury of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

The Ministry of Revenue was as hard and poor as ever, leaving only half of the northern country. The Qing Dynasty did not dare to impose excessive taxes, for fear of affecting the whole body. If it weren't for the wealth of the family and the capture of North Korea, the finances would have gone bankrupt long ago. But a new army alone would have to spend a lot of money to support. Once expanded, the General Administration of Manufacturing would not be able to withstand the wealth management department, let alone the Ministry of Revenue, which was unable to make ends meet.
