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

I have my own arrangements, you don't have to worry. Zhu Youjian said confidently. He believed that the Red Lady would not rebel again. What's more, after he had done the resettlement work, the Red Lady would have no reason to rebel.

Of course, he didn't blindly trust the red lady. He had to be on guard against others. He had already prepared a backup plan.

After the battle to annihilate Li Zicheng was over, he had ordered Sun Chuanting to lead more than 300,000 troops to garrison in the Gu County area to prevent the Qing cavalry from going south from penetrating deep into the hinterland and turning the various places upside down, which would cause huge losses.

If Wu Sangui surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing cavalry would march straight in, threatening the safety of the capital. Yutian was the main direction of the Qing army's attack. Lu Yiming led the Second Royal Regiment to garrison Yutian, but the number of troops was too small, so he ordered Lan Fang to Qin Liangyu led the Guangxi Wolf Barracks and Sichuan Barracks, and Qin Liangyu led the Baigan Army to move to Yutian to garrison, and coordinated with the Royal Second Regiment to resist the Qing army's attack.

Of course, this is the worst result. If Wu Sangui had not surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the armies would have gone out to fight the Qing army after a short rest.

By fighting outside the Pass, Daming's losses could be minimized, but the logistics transportation line would also be lengthened. Everything had pros and cons, so he still hoped to fight Huang Taiji outside the Pass.

The Royal First Regiment commanded by Xu Yu and the Royal Guards Battalion commanded by Chang Buzhou have also been ordered to return to Beijing for rest and reorganization. They have been expanded to division level and then replaced with DM2 rifles, doubling their combat power. In addition, the Royal Guards Battalion commanded by Gao Jie is being reorganized. In the fourth division, even if the Red Lady really dares to rebel, she won't be able to cause any trouble.

The improved DM2 rifle has begun mass production, but due to many limitations such as backward technology, the output is not high. In order to meet the needs of the troops, we can only add more than a dozen production lines regardless of cost. The skilled workers work in three shifts, working day and night, working hard. to produce DM2 rifles.

Zhu Youjian carefully calculated that by the time Xu Yu and Chang Buzhou returned to the capital with their troops, at least nearly 6,000 DM2 rifles would be produced, enough to equip the soldiers of the First Royal Regiment and the Royal Guards Battalion.

As for the new recruits who were expanded into division-level establishments, they should first be equipped with Suifa guns eliminated by the two armies. There was no other way. Time was already tight and the output was unsatisfactory, so we had to make do with it first.

As long as it lasts about another year, all the new armies will be equipped with DM2 rifles and improved artillery. Then let Huang Taiji see whether his Eight Banners cavalry is more powerful or the new Ming army is more powerful?

In today's court affairs, the main reason why the recruitment of the Red Lady's headquarters was mentioned was to give the Red Lady a formal designation so that she could openly receive the military salary and other things allocated by the court. He could also save a lot of money for other things. thing.

In addition, Zhu Youjian also promoted the military reform of the Ming Dynasty. However, he also knew that if he had to promote the great reform all at once, the resistance would be too great, so he could only do it slowly step by step. The Ministry of War would not move for the time being, and the entire Ming National Defense Force would be used as a basis first. There can only be the National Defense Force, private armies are not allowed to exist, and anyone who resists will be destroyed.

The next step was the detailed work of settling the Red Lady's headquarters. A group of Donglin Party officials used their usual strengths, deceiving and complaining about poverty, and doing everything possible to reduce the military pay and resettlement expenses allocated to the Red Lady's headquarters.

But Zhu Youjian was not the Chongzhen Emperor who was easily deceived by the Donglin Party. He did not reason with them at all, and directly arbitrarily determined the political agenda. It was useless to object. Moreover, in order to prevent military pay and resettlement expenses from being withheld by officials at all levels during the disbursement period, special personnel were assigned to supervise. Whoever dares to use evil hands will have his head chopped off.

His biggest source of confidence is the Royal First Regiment, Royal Guards Battalion, Royal Third Division, Fourth Royal Division and other troops that have returned to the capital. This is a wise saying.

Some greedy guys saw that the emperor was serious, so they could only suppress the greed in their hearts and do things honestly.

By the time the Red Lady and her troops arrived in Mi County, a spacious military camp had already been set up, and a large number of battle flags, military uniforms, and food were also prepared. All you had to do was move in directly.

Seeing her subordinates happily changing into new military uniforms, and knowing that Eunuch Rong Mo would be responsible for the resettlement work in the coming days, the little worry that still existed in the red lady's heart also dissipated.

Opening the big box that Jinyiwei sent and seeing clearly what was inside, the corners of her lips curled up slightly. That guy had a very delicate heart.
