Chapter 23 The Current Situation of the Beijing Camp


The cold war between the emperor and the empress finally ended.

On the afternoon before the first issue of the newspaper was released, when Zhu Youzheng was thinking wildly in his study, Hakka reported outside that Concubine Duan was here.

Zhu Youxiao left the study.

Concubine Duan greeted him with a deep blessing, then took a food box from the palace maid, put it on the table and said: "The emperor has been working hard on state affairs day and night.

I am afraid that I will hurt my body, so I made it specially."

Some snacks from my hometown, I hope the emperor likes them."

Zhu Youxiao met her last time when she was choosing a concubine.

Of course she was extremely beautiful.

If we were to be fair, comparing Concubine Duan and Concubine Wang to Zhang Yan, we can only say that each is good at winning, and Zhang Yan wins.

Charming, Concubine Duan is quite heroic, Concubine Duan is gentle and pleasant, and the three delicate flowers each have their own charm.

Today, Zhu Youxiao looked over and saw that Concubine Duan was still beautiful, but there was a sense of loneliness between her eyebrows.

Zhu Youxiao felt a little dissatisfied.

In fact, after Hakka spoke to him later, he understood that Zhang Yan was actually right to do this, but he just couldn't accept it emotionally.

But now that I saw Duan, I had other thoughts in my mind.

He kept reminding himself that he was not here to be a stud, but he also knew that Concubine Duan and Concubine Wang were still his women after all, and he was their god.

He brought them into the palace, but ignored them.

They should feel sad and frightened in their hearts, but for little girls aged fourteen or fifteen, doing this is actually the biggest injustice to them.

After thinking about it in his heart, he opened the food box, took a small snack, chewed it carefully and said after eating: "I am a little busy these days, so I have to wait for the two virtuous concubines.

I will go to the concubine's palace tonight.

How about we talk about life and ideals with my beloved concubine.”

Although Concubine Duan didn't understand anything about life and ideals, she was so happy that she didn't know what to say when she heard that the emperor was going to her palace at night.

The hesitation and uneasiness of these days had long since passed away.

So Zhu Youxiao came to Duan Fei's palace in the evening.

He was a groom for the second time, and he was much more skillful than the first time.

However, as usual, he asked her the date of Tiangui first, and made sure that he went to Wushan with her during the safe period.

The next afternoon the princess sent her hometown snacks again, so Zhu Youxiao became the groom for the third time in the evening.

On the third night, he came directly to Kunning Palace.

Looking at the face that seemed to have been gone for more than ten days, he could no longer bear the longing for her and held her tightly in his arms. , never want to let go.

From then on, he stayed in Zhang Yan's palace most nights.

Even if she was not in the safe period, he would hold her to sleep together, and then go to the other two concubines' wombs twice a month.

The three women in the harem were favored and nourished by the emperor, and they were in a good mood and became more and more beautiful.

Moreover, the three of them were in harmony and loved each other as sisters, and there was no drama like fighting for favor in the palace.

On May 28th of the first year of Tianqi, the Liaodong Martyrs' Shrine was initially completed.

The temple enshrines soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country since the Liaodong War, from the earliest Ningyuan commander Zhang Chengyin who died in the Battle of Fushun, Qian Commander Wang Mingyin, Ba Commander Wang Xuedao, Tang Yaoshun and others, to the latest Liao Shen During the battle, Chen Ce, Qin Bangping and others, no matter whether they were general soldiers or small soldiers, as long as their names were known, they all set up sacred tablets with their place of origin, official title and name written on them, and they were worshiped in different halls according to different battles in which they died.

There is a long road outside the Martyrs' Shrine.

There are some kneeling stone statues on both sides of the long road.

Behind the stone statues is a stone pillar with official title, name, place of origin and father's name written on it.

From the guerrilla Li Yongfang in the Battle of Fushun, to the Chinese army Zhao Yihe to Liaoyang Ma Chenglin in the battle was among them.

There is also a large open space prepared for those who surrender to the enemy in the future or who are afraid of the enemy and refuse to fight.

The Martyrs' Shrine is guarded by Jinyi Guards, and there are people dedicated to offering sacrifices every day, and people are allowed to go there to offer sacrifices on their own.

Since the day it was built, a large number of people of all kinds have gone there every day to commemorate the sages and scold the traitors.

The Beijing camp also specially organized each battalion to collectively go to worship and swear an oath in front of the main tablet of the God of Heroes.

The final words were "Everything is for the Ming Dynasty, everything is for the Emperor."

They also saluted the military salute together.

It has been more than half a year since the Beijing camp was restructured, with a total of six battalions of regular infantry, four battalions of cavalry, and two battalions of artillery.

Those who were not picked up as regular soldiers were put into the supply camp, so there are now 15,085 regular soldiers, 9,700 war horses, and more than 10,000 slave horses.

After such a long period of training, all regular soldiers have mastered the use of short spears and flintlock muskets.

Because the Bureau of War had completed the production of 15,000 flintlock muskets with bayonets at the end of May, every regular soldier now has a new type of musket, and the cavalry is equipped with a saber in addition to the musket.

Military law is something that every soldier must recite, especially when it comes to combat.

Some changes have been made to the military law: if you don't advance while beating the drum, if you don't retreat even if you pay for gold, you will of course be beheaded.

However, when a regular soldier is beheaded in battle, he will also be beheaded.

If you retreat in battle, If a team retreats, the captain will be beheaded.

If the captain does not retreat, the entire team will be beheaded.

If the team is in random formation, beheaded.

Even if you make a sound of retreating during a battle, you must beheaded.

If you pick up an object during a war, you must beheaded.

Anyway, in one sentence, if you are asked to charge, you will charge.

If you are asked to retreat, you will be able to do so.

Retreat, otherwise behead, behead, behead Various rules of conduct have been formulated.

The regulations are extremely detailed, such as how to apply medicine when encountering an enemy, how to listen to commands and fire, and even how to repair fortifications and toilets when setting up camp.

What soldiers fear most is the military judge.

After being caught making a mistake, although the general punishment is not serious, being punished by flushing the toilet is very humiliating.

Yang Guangkui is now in overall charge and is mainly responsible for troop training.

During normal training, Lu Qin led four cavalry battalions, Yang Guanggao led three infantry battalions and one artillery battalion, and Zhou Yuji led three other infantry battalions and one artillery battalion.

Now the basic marksmanship training has been completed, but every regular soldier still has marksmanship training tasks every day.

Based on combat training results, half of the soldiers received the second-level assassination medal, and all officers received the second-level medal.

In addition, soldiers must undergo strict queue training.

If you are a little ahead or behind others during training, you will be hit by the military judge's stick.

Zhu Youxiao stipulated that corporal punishment in the military can only be spanked, so when training began, many people could only sleep on their stomachs.

But the effect is also excellent.

When Zhu Youxiao went to review the formation, the largest gap between a row of soldiers on flat ground was less than half a foot, and when passing through complex terrain, it was only less than one foot.

He was already very satisfied.

As long as the formation was not affected during the battle, he thought it would be fine.

It was not necessary to use rulers and strings to measure things like later generations did.

What he wanted were soldiers who could fight, not soldiers who wanted to act.

He once asked Zhou Yuji to make the soldiers rush into the river, fall down a steep slope, etc. when shouting the import order, and then beat up the hesitant soldiers.

As a result, during the review, a group of soldiers were thrown directly when the front import order did not stop.

Descending the five-foot-high dirt slope, there was no slight pause in my steps.

After falling, I immediately got up and continued moving forward
