Chapter 83: Chongzhen's Parade (1)
The next day, the camp in the west mountain of the capital.
The 100,000 recruits of the Xishan battalion were gathered by the generals early in the vast Beijing camp school field, and all the recruits were not only uncomplaining, but full of excitement.
Because yesterday the whole army received an order that the emperor would come to review the Beijing camp.
The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is coming to the barracks? This is undoubtedly thunderous news for the recruits who have just enlisted in the army, you must know that Emperor Chongzhen in the past rarely even went out of the imperial city, let alone went to the barracks to see their bitterness haha.
Of course, this idea was gradually come up with by Liu Hong, and he activated the morale of the border army, but the 100,000 recruits in the Beijing camp were about to be handed over to Chongzhen.
You are the emperor, these soldiers are your swords, if you can't even hold the knife steadily, it is really too bad.
Of course, Liu Hong gradually didn't dare to say this, he knew that his boss was not very good at playing political tricks like himself, but with these big-headed recruits who couldn't read big words, he didn't need this.
In the letter, Liu Hongjian even gave Chongzhen ideas, and in such a dynasty where imperial power is supreme, there is no need for any ideas at all.
As long as Chongzhen is willing to put down his identity, go to the barracks for a while, and say a few words of encouragement casually, he can make the recruits in the Beijing camp go to the soup for it, what a simple thing.
But Chongzhen still thought about it for a long time, he hadn't been out of the imperial city for more than a year, and the last time he went out of the city was to see off Zhou Yanru, the former cabinet chief assistant, on the expedition to Jianyu, but a few months later, this guy hung up.
The new army of the Beijing camp has been training in the Xishan camp for nearly four months, and in the past four months, under Li Banghua's repeated supervision, the officers and men have been tense, and even though the training intensity is far greater than before, they have not complained.
At the end of each day's training, the supervisor will select 100 outstanding achievers, reward 10 taels of silver, reward a meal of meat, 20 rods for the last 100 results, and halve the military rations and salaries.
Now there is money in the treasury, and Chongzhen also knows the importance of these 100,000 soldiers, so he didn't even frown when he approved it.
The stick is increased with dates, and Lao Shangshu plays a good hand, which makes the recruits in the Beijing camp love and hate.
At three o'clock (about ten o'clock in the morning), the convoy of Haohao Tangtang outside the camp of Xishan came from the direction of the capital.
The first to start was the red helmet general of the 3,000 battalions, and then the Han general of the Jinyi Guard to protect Chongzhen's Luanjia, after the expansion of the Jinyi Guard, the commander Liang Yang selected 500 skilled Jinyi Guards and restored the old system.
In the back are many ministers of the DPRK and China, as well as General Mingjia and the five military battalion fork and knife circumferents......
Chongzhen stepped down from the imperial chariot and walked to the school reading platform, behind him was Cao Wentai, the commander of the pro-army carrying AKM, and Wang Chengen, the eunuch of the celebrant Bingbi, and then there were important officials such as the Sixth Ministry.
Chongzhen stood in front of the stage without saying a word, and the ministers behind him didn't dare to say much, they also suddenly learned that they were going to go with the driving school to review the Beijing camp.
The review stand of the Xishan camp is much larger than that of the border army, and the guards and ministers are standing on the stage, and there is still a lot of space.
"Let's get started!" Chongzhen put his hands behind his back and gave an order to Wang Chengen beside him.
Wang Chengen waved his hand, and more than 700 Jiannu captives who were strung with ropes like grasshoppers were brought to the front of the battle, and the rebel general Kong Youde and Jiannu's prince and Dingguo general Duoduo were also among them.
The veteran Youzi Gongshun Wang Kong Youde was lucky, and the AKM bullet didn't hurt him after passing through the shield and the soldier's corpse, but Prince Yu Duoduo was not so lucky.
The two soldiers dragged Dordor by the shoulders and dragged him to the front of the line, and the border army did not take special care of him because he was a prince, oh it is not true.
Duoduo has a lot more ropes on his upper body than other tartars, which can be regarded as special care, no way, Duoduo is thirty years old, and it is the year of fighting.
Even though both legs were wounded, one soldier had his neck broken when he was captured.
Dordor was shot in each leg, especially in the calf of his left leg, which shattered the leg bones, and his legs were firmly tied with ropes to ensure that he would not die from blood loss.
For more than ten days of torture, even Duoduo, who was as strong as an ox, only hung his breath, especially when he was tightly bound to his legs by ropes, and the lower part was necrotic due to ischemia.
It's summer again, the wound is festering, there are maggots, and it looks so disgusting and disgusting.
The other Tartar captives were even more miserable, from Shanhaiguan to the capital, along the way Jiannu's pigtails of money rat tails, had been abused by the border soldiers and there were few hairs left, most of them were bareheaded.
More than 700 captives were pressed to the front of the 100,000 recruits of the Beijing camp and knelt down in turn, while the two princes of Jiannu were arranged in front and tied to the pillars.
Even if they had never fought again, these recruits knew where the hundreds of people in front of them came from.
"Soldiers of the Beijing camp, you don't have to doubt that these people in front of you are the Jiannu Tartars who have been harassing the Ming Dynasty for decades.
Speaking of shame, in the seventeen years since I succeeded to the throne, it is also the first time I have seen a Tartar, and the first time I have seen so many robbers who have plagued the Ming Dynasty for decades! I don't know if I'm happy or angry right now, maybe anger isn't enough to express my feelings.
However, I know what to do now, I now need seven hundred and eighty-eight hundred household officials to kill the heads of these seven hundred and eighty-eight Jiannu in front of me for me! ”
Dozens of Han generals in front of the battle raised their voices and repeated Chongzhen's words, so that all soldiers could hear Chongzhen's speech.
Chongzhen said such straightforward things for the first time in a formal speech, there is no way, the literacy rate of these recruits is estimated to be less than one percent, and they can't understand what you say.
At the beginning, the new army in Beijing was still listening carefully to the emperor's lecture, and when they heard the emperor's order, the newborn calves rushed out from the rear before the roll call of the thousands of household officials before the battle.
This is an errand for the emperor, in front of the emperor, ministers, and 100,000 soldiers, beheading the Jiannu Tartars, this cow is enough for these people to brag for half a lifetime, and there are more than 1,000 officials in the school field, how can they brag after the speed is not sharp?
With an order, the newly appointed officials of the hundred households took out their war knives, and their hands rose and fell, and seven hundred and eighty-eight Jiannu Tartars fell to the ground.
The veteran Youzi Kong Youde's legs were a little uncontrollable, and Duoduo beside him also woke up, turned his head to look behind him, and lowered his head weakly.
Chongzhen turned around and said something to Cao Wentai, and Cao Wentai trotted off the school reading table with a happy face.
Since seeing the power of AKM, Cao Wentai, the son of the Lian family, has suddenly liked this thing, and he feels that something is missing when he doesn't take a few shots every day.
He walked quickly to Kong Youde and Duoduo, took off the AKM behind his back, clicked his load, and looked at the two in front of him with a smirk.
Da - Da Da - A burst of gunfire rang out, and the two princes said goodbye to the world.
Kong Youde's eyes rolled and his legs twitched, Made, he knew that he would still die under this strange fire after tossing for a long time, it was better to die directly in Shanhaiguan, maybe this was the last thought in Kong Youde's heart.
I don't know if it's too close, or if the power of AKM is too great, Cao Wentai was splashed with blood by the two.
Made, Lao Tzu's gun has finally been lit! Cao Wentai wiped a handful of blood from his face with his sleeve, spat at Kong Youde's corpse, and said secretly.
