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

Zhu Youjian doubted his guess, and Wu Sangui, who was far away in Ningyuan, was also uneasy. Now that he had made his choice, like an arrow in a bow, he could no longer look back. However, after his uncle Zu Dashou left, Huang Taiji never sent an army. There was no reply to him, which made him feel suspicious and restless.

In fact, Wu Sangui didn't know, and Zhu Youjian had forgotten that a major event happened in the Qing Empire at this time that could affect the national destiny of the Qing Empire.

In original history, on the ninth day of the eighth lunar month, Huang Taiji died suddenly and violently in the harem of Shengjing at the age of 52. But now, the time has been advanced by two months.

The 14th Beiledorgun and Heshuo Beiledirharang assisted Fulin, the ninth son of Huang Taiji, to succeed to the throne as the auxiliary king, that is, Emperor Shunzhi.

The new emperor ascended the throne, people's hearts were in a state of flux, and the court was not stable. Duolgun and Jierhalang could not care about Wu Sangui. They had to help Emperor Shunzhi eliminate dissidents, and only after they had established a stable position in the country could they go south to compete with the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains.

However, since Dorgun was an outstanding politician and military strategist in the early Qing Dynasty, he naturally had extraordinary abilities. Although he was temporarily unable to escape, he still did not forget Wu Sangui who had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and once again assigned Zu Dashou to Ningyuan.

In order to appease Wu Sangui, Duoergun not only asked Shunzhi to fulfill Huang Taiji's promise to Wu Sangui before, but also named him the King of Zhennan, and rewarded him with a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry and two beauties.

In addition, in order to motivate some of Wu Sangui's confidants, they were given official titles and were rewarded with gold, silver and jewels.

In order to appease Wu Sangui and ensure that Shanhaiguan was safe, Duoergun indeed spent a lot of money.

Wu Sangui smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, and he knelt down to thank the saint for his great grace. Zu Dashou, as the special envoy of the Qing court, stayed in Ningyuan to assist Wu Sangui in guarding Ningyuan City.

Wu Sangui knew it well and did not reveal it, silently preparing for a decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youjian saw that there was no news coming back from Shanhaiguan. Although he suspected that he had guessed wrong and Wu Sangui did not surrender the Pass, he did not relax his vigilance because of this. He ordered all armies to step up training, strengthen combat readiness, and stockpile various military supplies for the upcoming Be prepared for the coming war.

The First Royal Regiment, the Second Royal Regiment, the Guangxi Wolf Barracks, and the Sichuan Army Camp were expanded into division-level combat units. However, in addition to replenishing the battle-damaged soldiers of the Second Royal Regiment, the Guangxi Wolf Barracks, and the Sichuan Army Barracks, these three units were not immediately provided. The purpose of adding one more soldier to an army is to maintain combat effectiveness.

The real expansion is the Royal First Regiment, which has completed the re-equipment and is equipped with DM2 rifles. The army has added 15,000 new soldiers. The overall combat effectiveness must have declined. Fortunately, the DM2 is more powerful and has a long range. Rifles and artillery compensated to some extent for the decline in combat effectiveness.

In order to build the Royal First Division into an invincible iron-blooded division, Zhu Youjian ordered Xu Yu, who had been promoted to major general commander, to step up training of soldiers. At the same time, the Royal Third Division led by Gao Jie and the Independent First Division of the National Defense Forces led by Hong Niangzi also Under his supervision, training was intensified.

The three of them all knew that a war that would determine the life and death of the Ming Dynasty was about to break out, and they did not dare to relax in the slightest. They all personally urged their soldiers to intensify their training, and set an example by training with the soldiers. In the three military camps, the slogans of soldiers training resounded through the sky.

The Royal Guards Battalion under the command of Chang Buzhou was also expanded into a regiment-level establishment, but it was not equipped with a large number of artillery. Only the original soldiers were even equipped with DM2 rifles, and the new soldiers were equipped with eliminated Suifa guns.

The Royal Guards has replaced the original Forbidden Army and Royal Guards and is responsible for guarding the safety of the palace. To ensure the safety of the palace, Zhu Youjian also added a police dog company to the Royal Guards and asked him to find several animal trainers who knew how to train hounds. When joining the army, he is responsible for training hounds. After the hounds are trained, they are equipped with troops.

No matter it is day or night, the patrol team patrols with specially trained hounds. Assassins who want to sneak into the palace will be discovered, and the safety of the palace is greatly guaranteed.

Well, Zhu Youjian admitted that he was afraid of death. People who have died once cherish their own lives.

With the military power in hand, his backbone has also become stronger. Some policies that benefited the country and the people were strongly blocked by the civilian clique headed by the Donglin Party and could not be implemented. Now it is time to put them back on the agenda.

Whoever dares to obstruct him again will be punished with one word - death!
