Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

Great victory in Chengdu, great victory in Sichuan...

When the news of the victory reached the capital, the whole city was filled with joy, and people rushed to tell each other. Scholars gathered in small groups to inquire about the specific battle situation in Chengdu.

The most detailed battle report is naturally in the hands of Emperor Zhu Youjian of the Ming Dynasty, and there are more than one copy. In addition to the memorial written by the commander-in-chief Qin Liangyu, the commander-in-chief of the New Army Lan Fang has another copy, the military advisor Gu Junming has another copy, and the other three are from the army. The book of Jinyiwei is secretly folded.

The content of the six memorials is basically the same. The difference is only in some small details. One of the secret memorials of the Jinyiwei secret agent details the various deployments of Fang Zhengtang, the commander of the Royal Second Regiment before the war, and his reaction and command after the battle started. , including the fact that after the rebel army was defeated, Fang Zhengzheng failed to order the entire army to attack in time in order to be safe, and the commander of the second battalion, Lu Yiming, and the third battalion violated military orders and went out without permission.

Zhu Youjian carefully read the details of the battle of the Second Royal Regiment, and then handed the secret folder to the imperial military advisor Wu Buwei and Song Xiance for viewing.

The defeat of Zhang Xianzhong, who had been wreaking havoc in Sichuan for many years, made him relieved. As long as Li Zicheng was dealt with again, Ming's internal troubles would be basically resolved, and he would be able to free up his hands to fight Huang Taiji.

His biggest reliance is the new army he trained with his own hands. Now, in addition to the troops formed behind him, the First Royal Regiment, Second Regiment, Guangxi Wolf Barracks, Sichuan Army Camp, and Royal Guards Battalion have all experienced the test of actual combat and formed a relatively strong formation. Strong combat effectiveness, enough to compete with Huang Taiji.

Of course, the Battle of Chengdu also exposed various minor problems, but they can all be corrected, but there is still a shortage of military command talents.

Zhu Youjian thought about it carefully. Fang Zhengtang, the leader of the Royal Second Regiment, was too stable and lacked a bit of enterprising spirit. He was suitable for defense. If he happened to be injured, he would be transferred back to the capital for treatment. When he was healed and discharged, the Royal Army Just leave the third group to him.

The commander of the second battalion, Lu Yiming, dared to fight hard, performed brilliantly, and was good at catching fighter opportunities. He was a good prospect. Since Lan Fang strongly recommended him, give him a chance to display his talents.

What do you think? Zhu Youjian looked at the imperial military advisor Wu Buwei and Song Xiance. He asked about Qin Liangyu's request to expand the musketeers and artillery companies.

In principle, in fact, he had already agreed in his heart. The main reason was that Qin Liangyu was loyal and would never be as self-respecting as his general soldiers. Secondly, Qin Liangyu's white pole army was also a rare elite among the Ming army. One of the main forces in the decisive battle of the Qing army must be well supported.

Your Majesty, General Qin is trying to express his feelings to you. Wu Buwei replied with a smile.

Not to mention how much the emperor trusted Qin Liangyu, just seeing Qin Liangyu explain the reasons for expanding the musketeers to the emperor in the memorial is enough to show that Qin Liangyu had no different intentions.

Looking at the Ming army, among the general officers who hold heavy troops, which one is not privately recruiting troops and desperately trying to increase their own strength? Apart from making reports and asking for military expenses, have they ever said a word?

Isn't the emperor afraid that the tail will not fall off? Song Xiance thought for a while before asking. He also knew that the emperor had great trust in Qin Liangyu, but what if Qin Liangyu, like other general officers, grew stronger and respected his troops, and would not listen to the announcement? What about listening to the tune?

Old Song, you are worrying too much. I can't guarantee it for others, but for Qin Liangyu, I am absolutely assured that I will take back the military power after a hundred years. Zhu Youjian said confidently that after he defeated Huang Taiji, he would start to reorganize the army.

The Ming Dynasty under his rule absolutely did not allow any general to support his own troops, let alone the situation of warlord separatism. Those who were disobedient would be directly sent to destroy them with large armies.

The emperor is wise. Song Xiance looked solemn and praised from the bottom of his heart. With such a wise and powerful emperor governing the country, why would the Ming Dynasty not be able to revive and regain its former glory?

He was glad that he had made a decisive choice, otherwise, the grass on the grave would have grown taller.

Why……

Zhu Youjian waved his hand. Everyone likes to hear flattery, but now because of something, his temples ached.

Who can be the governor of Sichuan?
