Although the imperial army did not fight with the Dongwu army, they only occupied their own cities and remained unmoved. However, the scout war between the two sides had been fighting and it was very fierce. The reason was naturally self-evident. Anyone who wanted to win the scout war could defeat the other side as deaf and blind, and the main force's advantage in winning the battle would greatly improve!

The Ming army did not collect the equipment at night and had high morale; while the Donggo scout was more familiar with the terrain and was more adaptable to the environment. At the beginning, it was considered to be a fair match. However, with the consumption of the scouts, the scouts on Donggo's side suffered a lot of losses, and it was a bit difficult to continue. However, the Ming army did not collect the side at night, and after training, it tended to become stronger and stronger.

But no matter what, the Ming army consumed a lot of money without collecting at night. Even the general manager like Fu Yuman brought people out to participate in the scout war.

While we were talking in a low voice, a few birds suddenly rang out from the tree beside us. Others would not think anything was wrong when they heard it, but when Fu Yuman heard it, he was immediately excited and stood up immediately and walked out. When the other soldiers saw it, they didn't say anything anymore and followed.

After approaching the official road, Fu Yuman looked up at a big tree. There was a Ye Bushu on it. He also saw him and gestured to him. This made Fu Yuman a little confused because the subordinates on the tree told him that someone came from the north, not the south.

People from the north should be their own people. But they are all responsible for this road. If someone comes here, they should know!

No matter what, Fu Yuman gave the order, and immediately, his subordinates approached the official road and burned.

The sound of horse hooves on the ground came from far and near. Fu Yuman saw that he was wearing a Ming army uniform. Could it be his own? He signaled with his hand, so a subordinate walked forward, walked more than ten steps north, and went up the official road and shook his hand to signal the other party to stop.

The three cavalry rushed over and saw someone stopping the official road. It was a Ming army soldier. The horse slowed down a little, but the speed still came over very quickly.

"Hey, are you from that camp? What are you going to do?" Ye Bushang, who was on the official road, retreated slightly to the side and asked loudly.

The three knights seemed to have a look at each other, and then one of them opened his mouth, but he couldn't hear it clearly. The voice was really low.

Fu Yuman, who was holding the roadside, frowned and immediately became alert.

"Where are you talking about it? Which camp is from?" Ye Busus asked loudly again when he saw that he was getting close, "Dropping off the horse and explain clearly!"

But after hearing this, the three of them not only stopped replying, but even increased their horse speed and rushed over quickly.

That night, I didn't accept it and immediately knew that something was wrong, so I hurriedly hurriedly went up the mountain forest to hide. But the horse running at high speed had already arrived beside him. The leading knight had held a knife in his hand, but with a light connection, blood sprayed into the air.

Almost at the same time, Fu Yuman shouted violently: "Cum!"

While speaking, he had already pulled his bow and shot an arrow, and shot out a "whisper".

A knight was almost caught in an arrow when the sound of the bowstring sounded and fell off his horse.

The other Ming soldiers, Ye Busuo, followed him with an arrow, but were slower and rushed over by the remaining two people. However, in the end, there was an arrow shot into the leg of one of the escaped horses. The horse lost its balance. The knight was so good that he jumped away from the horses, rolled forward a few times before standing up.

Seeing this, the knight who rushed over seemed to want to turn his horse's head to save him. But the one who lost the war horse saw Fu Yuman and the others rushing out of the mountains and forests on both sides, immediately turned around and waved to his companions, "Go, go quickly!"

Then, he actually drew his sword and committed suicide without hesitation.

Fu Yuman, who was rushing forward, was stunned when he saw this. Such a resolute scout, was really rare. This idea just flashed through his mind. Then, he quickly tapped his bow and arrow, and his subordinates also did it.

It was a pity that in the end, the knight did not stop when he saw his companion commit suicide, and urged the horse to gallop. Although an arrow shot his shoulder, he also made him run away.

Fu Yuman frowned and went up to check the two scouts of Togo. It felt a bit strange. It was really strange that these scouts came and performed very strangely. It was a pity that they did not catch a living. They did not find anything valuable on them.

After cleaning up the body of his comrade, Fu Yuman and his men turned around to the camp. Along the way, he remained silent, thinking about what had happened just now.

The Ming Dynasty had already gradually gained the upper hand in the battle with Donggo's scouts. But before the New Year, Donggo suddenly seemed to be crazy, strengthening the scouts' strength, and even replacing the quality with quantity. In a short period of time, he regained the situation, but the price was huge losses.

Before, Fu Yuman had no idea. It might be that King Togo's Talong attached importance to scout wars, which is common. But today, the abnormal behavior of those scouts suddenly made him think of all this, and it seemed that there was something else.

Thinking of this, he decided to report this suspicious point to the upper hand.

A day later, in Ava City, the escaped scout stood in front of King Talong and reported something to King Talong with a serious face. After he finished speaking, he saw a long-lost smile on King Talong's face.

After rewarding the scout, King Long passed the order. Half a month later, the army set out and marched northward, vowing to the death with the Ming army!

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Emperor Chongzhen arrived at the Beijing camp and came to the Ming Dynasty's Advanced Martial Arts Hall.

In the square, the cold wind was howling, and the two square formations were side by side, with dozens of people each, each with upright bodies, with their heads raised and their chests raised. It seemed that the cold wind had no effect on these people at all, or they were frozen into sculptures and stood motionless.

Emperor Chongzhen was still wearing his golden helmet and gold armor this time, but he had the conditions, and was very warm inside and could not be seen outside. In this way, Emperor Chongzhen seemed to be no less than the Ming soldiers in front of him. And this was the effect he wanted. After all, this was the Wubei Hall. If he came here, he would be frozen like a weak chicken, and his whole body was wrapped in a thick cotton robe. Although no one dared to say anything, it was still a bit abrupt.

Facing everyone below, Emperor Chongzhen stood on the stage, slowly glanced at one of the smaller square formations, and looked at each face on his left and said, "This year, you haven't even had a day off, thank you for your hard work!"

Hearing this, Li Zicheng and others couldn't help but be stunned. They didn't expect that the noble emperor would give condolences to them, the warriors. Although this condolence was very ordinary and common to later generations, it was rare in this feudal dynasty, let alone, this condolence came from the emperor.

For a moment, everyone in the small square formation showed gratitude on their faces. The soldiers in the large square formation next to them couldn't help but look at them with a little enviousness, and the emperor was given a condolence. How many soldiers from the Ming Dynasty could receive such treatment?

As the top commander in the small square formation, Li Zicheng immediately clasped his fists and replied: "Your Majesty is the hard work of bravery. Please take care of the dragon body!"

"Today is your graduation ceremony. I am a sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial priest, so I will come naturally." Emperor Chongzhen heard this and smiled slightly and said, "What is this coldness? Even if I can come, I will come!"

When Li Zicheng and others heard this, they felt a little relieved and were immediately excited again. What kind of people do you do to make the emperor treat him like this. If others hear this, they will not envy him to death! The emperor is so kind, even if he repays the emperor with death, it will be worth it!

The square formation beside Li Zicheng and others were selected from the Ming soldiers in the military parade in Beijing, and they were going to join the Ming Advanced Martial Arts Hall. Although today is the day for Li Zicheng and others to graduate, it is also the day for these freshmen to enter school. Hearing that the emperor attaches so much importance to Li Zicheng and other old students, he really should not be too envious of the look he looked at. Some people simply wished they could stand in the square formation over there.

Emperor Chongzhen actually did not ignore them. After saying these words just now, he turned to look at the big square formation on the right, and announced firmly in his tone: "This will be a decisive rule in the future. When the soldiers of the Ming Advanced Martial Arts Hall graduated and left school, I will come here in person. Watch all the soldiers graduate and come to see you off."

Originally, he had already thought about it and had to select those with excellent academic performance from the graduates, and personally awarded medals to encourage him. However, since these first batch of graduates were going to Siberia to expand territory for the Ming Dynasty. Everyone will work hard for the future of the Ming Dynasty in the future, so in this first session, he will not favor one or the other. However, this will still be done in the future.

The freshmen from the Ming Senior Martial Arts Hall from the Liaodong battlefield heard the emperor's promise and immediately withdrew their envious gazes from Li Zicheng and the others. They all held their heads and chests up, and looked at Emperor Chongzhen with excitement, expressing their mood at this moment!

Emperor Chongzhen saw all this and was happy. He understood that these soldiers who came out of the Ming Dynasty's senior martial arts hall were disciples of the emperor and would be his strongest supporters. If he wanted to say trust in the future, these people would definitely be more trustworthy than others. He was very pleased with this!

Military power is in hand, not just by saying it, but it is not a matter of being able to get it. It is not a matter of a confidant general, and this army will definitely be able to use it. Only after graduates like the Ming Advanced Military Preparation Hall are distributed to officers at all levels in the Ming army, can the Ming Dynasty truly be held in their hands. Even if the generals in high positions have any thoughts, as long as most of the officers below are interested in the emperor, they will not make any trouble. This is the fundamental way to solve the problem of generals stolen, rather than using civil servants to govern the military, using civil servants to suppress the generals, and pressing the generals into pugs!

Of course, there are other ways to seize military power and solve the great problems of military generals since ancient times. For example, the army cannot be someone's private army, even the Qi family army cannot do it. There are military supervisors at all levels in the army, and the officers in the main positions come from the Ming Dynasty's Senior Military Preparation Hall, and are disciples of the emperor, etc. These methods are considered relatively safe to add up.

Otherwise, even if the Ming Dynasty also used civilized military power, it would not be safe. There is a typical example. During the Tumu Fort Incident, Emperor Yingzong of Ming was captured and attacked the capital first. At that time, the general Shi Heng made great contributions in the defense of the capital. He was even given hereditary edicts by Emperor Daizong of Ming, and was awarded the title of Prince Taishi, or even a marquis. But even such treatment was exchanged for him to become the main general of the Sect Transformation, help Emperor Yingzong of Ming restore the army and regain the great treasure. Of course, he did not have a good ending, which was later. But his case proved how unreliable it was to rely solely on a few senior generals to gain military power.

These thoughts flashed through my mind. Emperor Chongzhen turned to see Li Zicheng's square formation, and a smile appeared on his face and said, "The new yamen of the Ming Advanced Martial Arts Hall will be opened after the New Year. It's just a pity that time is too tight, and you must turn back and pass on what you have learned to your subordinates, and make complete preparations for the expedition to the northern land. But remember that you are the first batch of graduates of the Ming Advanced Martial Arts Hall, and your information will be left behind in the history of the Ming Advanced Martial Arts Hall! Come, everyone is watching me!"

When Li Zicheng and others heard this, they were a little surprised. They didn't know what the emperor meant. They were looking up at it, but when they heard this, they all looked serious and focused.

If it were people from later generations, they would probably guess immediately what Emperor Chongzhen was going to do?

That's right, Emperor Chongzhen used the photo-taking function of the chat group to take a graduation photo for them, and kept it in the chat group, and then asked the Danqing Shengshou to draw him and hang it in the memorial hall of the Ming Dynasty's Advanced Martial Arts Hall.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded slightly and announced with a smile: "Okay, when you look back, I will ask the painter to draw your portraits at this time and save them in the Ming Dynasty's Advanced Martial Arts Hall. Those who make great contributions in the future will hang their portraits separately and use them as examples for the soldiers who are in the backwards!"

When they heard this, many people in the small square formation on the left showed a look of astonishment at the first time, followed by ecstasy and excitement. They did not expect that the emperor would be so concerned about them and have so many kindnesses. They could only work hard to gain honor. The glorious family and the reputation of the future generations is nothing more than this!

Li Zicheng never expected that he was just a postman, but he had such a good opportunity and a bright future. He could be 100% sure that as long as he lived up to His Majesty's entrustedness and completed the affairs of the North. Then among the many soldiers who came out of the Ming Dynasty's Advanced Martial Preparation Hall, he would definitely be one of the most honorable ones. In the future, in the Ming army, he would definitely be an example for other soldiers to envy and admire!

Haha, what is the cold in the north? What is Tsarist Russia? I work hard and must hold glory in my hand! The excited Li Zicheng subconsciously knelt down and clasped his fists, and said loudly: "I will die for Your Majesty, and I will never regret it!"
