When Emperor Chongzhen preliminarily decided that Wang Fu of Wuxingbo would serve as the governor of the reserve army, he sent him to Baoding to pass the decree, summoned Wang Fu to Beijing, and summoned him in the Qianqing Palace, not only talked in detail about his idea of the reserve army governor's office, but also talked about the idea of further training recruits for the border army, the guards and the navy with the help of the new army training camp.

At the end of this meeting, Emperor Chongzhen asked Wang Fu of Wuxingbo about his views on the selection of soldiers for the training camp of the New Army, and Emperor Chongzhen said:

"The soldiers of the first and second towns of the Guards are all soldiers trained by Wu Xingbo in the Zhuozhou battalion! The battle of Juyong Pass and the battle of Bauhinia Pass, the order is forbidden, and the perseverance is very satisfied!

"I summoned Qing today to talk about everything, I think Qing knows it in his heart. I want to know, what kind of experience do you have about military training? ”

Emperor Chongzhen knew that Wang Fu was known for his strictness, and asked him this at this time, just to see if he was the commander of the second town of the Guards, and after he was awarded the title of Wu Xingbo, he willingly handed over the second town of the Guards, and then served as the left governor of the reserve army governor's mansion, and from then on he made wedding dresses for the armies under the other governors' mansions.

As a result, Wu Xingbo Wang Fu said: "The military law of the ministers is harsh, and the training of soldiers is based on strict words!" A few years ago, when the minister was in Dongjiang, he thought that the minister's career had come to an end!

"Unexpectedly, since His Majesty ascended the throne, he was determined to re-emphasize the military, and did not come from a humble background as a subordinate general, and entrusted him with the post of chief military officer of the Zhuozhou regimental training, and entrusted the new military training of the imperial court to the ministers!

"Since then, he has taken the minister as the commander of the second town of the new Guards Army, and went out of the town of Bauhinia Pass to resist the Jianjiao, so that the minister can fulfill his long-cherished wish in life!"

After expressing his attitude, Wu Xingbo Wang Fu continued: "The minister thinks that the main purpose of the imperial court's military training should be to be able to serve in the territory as the destination!"

"If you want it to serve in the field, it is especially advisable to do everything possible to cultivate its spirit, exercise its physique, and be proficient in its skills.

"Because of the war, Guy trekked through the ice and snow, or drove through the scorching heat and miasma, or camped in the rain and snow, or marched day and night, often cold without clothing, hungry without food, thirsty for drink and without water.

"What's more, now that firearms are gradually spreading, in the rain of bullets, flesh and blood are flying, extremely tragic and unseen in the world, suffering from hardships that ordinary people do not go through, their spirit and physical strength are not well-cultivated and practiced in peacetime, how can they be used when they are in battle? !

"Yes, it is the first important thing for the subordinates to practice hard work and endure hardships! And the way of the ministers to control the army is also to make it hard as the only way! ”

Emperor Chongzhen listened to Wang Fu's words, remembered Wang Fu's performance when he served as the commander of the new army training camp in Zhuozhou, and his performance when he led the army to fight at Zijing Pass, knowing that his words and deeds were the same, he nodded in agreement at the moment, and handed over this important task in the heart of Emperor Chongzhen that was no less than that of the border army to Wang Fu.

In Emperor Chongzhen's vision, a recruit training base of this scale like the Zhuozhou New Army Training Camp will be built in the east, west, north and south, and even coastal areas, or islands.

In the future, after the northwest is pacified, it is necessary to set up a training battalion in Xining that is specially adapted to the plateau climate, and specially provide qualified soldiers for the border troops or guards stationed in the plateau area.

In the same way, the soldiers in the north will not be able to adapt to the climate in the southwest region and in Annam, Burma and other places for a while, so it is necessary to set up a training camp like Zhuozhou somewhere in the southwest region to provide the southern army with soldiers who have undergone adaptive training.

There is also the navy, if you want to make the navy non-commissioned officers well-trained, you also need to set up a recruit training camp on the sea or island.

But all these considerations must be carried out by a person with a strong character.

At the same time, whether it is the north or the south, the plateau or the sea, the town or the battle, the sergeants and soldiers of the army need to be able to learn hard work and endure hardships, and they are more afraid of military law than they are afraid of death.

If you can't do this, no matter what kind of training you have, it will be water without a source and a tree without roots.

Emperor Chongzhen explained these thoughts to the new reserve army governor, Zuo Du Governor, but made Wu Xingbo Wang Fu admire the emperor in front of him from the bottom of his heart who was born in the deep palace and grew up in the hands of a woman.

At the same time, there was also a new understanding of the status of the reserve army in the emperor's mind.

From the position of the commander of the second town of the Guards Army, to the governor's office of the reserve army, which is equivalent to commanding and managing the township soldiers and people, Wang Fu, who has been charging into battle for almost a lifetime, cannot have no ideas in his heart.

Now seeing that Emperor Chongzhen attaches so much importance to the reserve army and thinks so long-term, and then thinks about it, after a few years, the soldiers of the world, whether it is the nine sides or the guards, will do their best, and this sense of accomplishment will arise spontaneously.

In June, the Governor's Office of the Guards Army, the Governor's Office of the Frontier Army, the Governor's Office of the Internal Guards, and the Governor's Office of the Reserve Army, as well as the Governor's Office of the Navy in Tianjin, all the candidates for the Governor and the Protector were all determined, and they were just waiting for everyone to be elected, and then the decree was announced to the world, and the original Governor's Office of the Five Armies was officially taken over.

As for the original Nanjing Five Military Governor's Office, Emperor Chongzhen accepted the opinion of the British Duke Zhang Weixian and temporarily retained it, using the Nanjing Left Army Governor's Office, which managed the southern coastal guard posts, as the Nanjing Naval Governor's Office, the original Nanjing Former Military Governor's Mansion as the Nanjing Frontier Guards Governor's Office, the original Nanjing Central Army Governor's Mansion as the Nanjing Guards Governor's Office, the original Nanjing Right Army Governor's Mansion as the Nanjing Inner Guard Army Governor's Office, and the original Nanjing Houjun Governor's Mansion as the Nanjing Reserve Army Governor's Office.

In fact, this is tantamount to adding a line before the original Nanjing Five Armies Governor's Office, indicating that they are the acting command organs of the Beijing Division and the Five Armies Governor's Office in Nanjing.

There are no major changes in the others, but just like the five military governors of the Beijing Division, each of them has more guards and military members.

Despite this, Emperor Chongzhen was worried that such an adjustment might be in the interests of some nobles of the family, so in order to avoid any trouble, he still let Xu Hongji, the prince of Wei Guogong, the commander of Nanjing, serve as the governor of the Nanjing Xingwu Governor's Office, and made Shangshu Wuzhiwang of the Nanjing Military Department serve as the protector of the Nanjing Xingwu Governor's Mansion, and at the same time let Wang Zhixin, the eunuch of Nanjing, serve as the supervisor of the Nanjing Xingwu Military Governor's Office.

Fortunately, a year or two ago, Emperor Chongzhen had made a painful determination to eliminate some of the black sheep in power among the nobles of Nanjing.

The nobles who now sit on the high positions of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies in Nanjing and the Beijing Camp in Nanjing, such as Chang Yanling, Marquis of Huaiyuan, Guo Zhenming, Marquis of Boping, Liu Kongzhao, and Bo Mao Menglong of Nanning, were all personally supported by Emperor Chongzhen after killing the previous batch of nobles at that time.

And these originally marginalized figures have little to do with the intertwined interests of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies in Nanjing over the past 200 years, and they are not deeply involved.

At that time, one of the important purposes of rectifying the nobles of the northern and southern capitals was to prepare for the reorganization of the five military capitals one day.

At this time, the preparations that the killer had prepared at that time finally came in handy.

Speaking of which, now this Emperor Chongzhen has also endured for a long time.

After purging the powerful nobles in the north and south of Beijing, he wanted to reform the military command system of the Ming Dynasty, but he did not dare to do it after all.

It was not until now that the first and second towns of the Guards were truly formed, until they had repelled the large-scale invasion of Jianyu, and until they promoted and reused a group of newly promoted nobles, replaced the old nobles who had been cleared, and established his authority in the court and the army, that he finally dared to put this matter on the agenda.
