Chapter Seventy-Six: Building a New Donglin

In the face of Ni Yuanlu's initiative, Zhu Cihong only had great joy in his heart.

It's just that Li Banghua on the side smiled bitterly. He couldn't refute this year-old friend, so he had to wait quietly for Zhu Cihong's reply.

When Zhu Cihong heard this, he naturally knew everything and said everything, and he picked up the military strategy for a while.

"When it comes to military affairs, I first recommend logistics and supplies. Everyone in the world knows that the Royal Guards can fight well, and even the captive chief Abatai has been given the head, and they know that the soldiers are strong, but they don't know that a strong army is more about maintenance. First and foremost, it is logistical supply. In the First War of Linqing, the Military Affairs Department invested 2 million in silver, and tried his best to buy food. To this end, I organized manpower four times in the army to compile a standard textbook on logistics. From the grain procurement standards, the operation of the field dry food workshop, the standing barracks canteen committee, to the ordnance dispatch standards, there are a total of 67,000 words. Come...... I should have brought all the drafts I had prepared. ”

When Ni Yuanlu heard this, he was immediately overjoyed to read it.

Subsequently, the two had a good conversation and discussed some specific details of the march and battle. At this time, Zhu Cihong talked a lot about the use of phalanx and long array. When it comes to the difficulty of training the new army, it is not easy to maintain military discipline. Originally, when Zhu Cihong only had a town of soldiers and horses in his hands, it was already difficult to do it himself. When the strength expanded to the battalion and two regiments directly under him, Zhu Cihong could no longer do it himself. Fortunately, with the assistance of Yang Wenyue, Si Qi and other civil and military generals, the military affairs department system began to operate. This is actually a Chinese-style staff department established by Zhu Cihong.

"Talents are rare...... Zhu Cihong stared at Ni Yuanlu playfully, and said: "The courses of the military martial arts school are all crash courses in March, so much time. In addition to military discipline, drills, and tactics, only a few concepts can be slightly promoted, and specific practices have to be taught by hand. This is also the reason why the Royal Guards fought hard. Give three or five more years of lonely time. With the military academy to carry out a one-year class, the two-year class of the general flag, after the hundred household officers matured. It is the Huang Taiji personal expedition at this moment, and Lone can also encircle and annihilate it in a dignified battle! ”

"Your Highness has a strategy in your chest, and your subordinates admire it." Ni Yuanlu is sincere. even quietly sighed at Zhu Cihong's wrist. The hundreds of seeds who lectured in Beijing had been reborn after entering the military academy and had become strong supporters of Zhu Cihong's power system. It is precisely because there are so many people available that Zhu Cihong dares to promote the system of the Military Affairs Department.

Even, in Ni Yuanlu's opinion, Zhu Cihong doesn't look like a complaint, but like a show-off. Even Qi Jiguang, the strongest military general in the history of the Ming Dynasty, does not have this team.

As for the fact that there is a chance of winning against Huang Taiji, Ni Yuanlu didn't care when he heard ordinary scholars talk about it. I don't believe it, but Zhu Cihong is different.

After Zhu Cihong beheaded Abatai, these words were really loud and clear, and no one dared to despise them. What made Ni Yuanlu's heart slightly excited was Zhu Cihong's closeness. Isn't it, His Highness thinks he is also a talent? What does this recognition mean, which made Ni Yuanlu excited and jealous, and began to fall into deep thought.

At this time, Li Banghua finally had a chance to open his mouth: "Your Highness, I don't know what to think of my Jiangnan Shilin?" Jade rope dismissed. Deserve. The position of the first assistant is now vacant, but His Royal Highness is here for this reason when he enters Beijing this time? ”

Zhu Cihong listened to this, but he was in no hurry to open his mouth anymore.

Who are the people of the Donglin Party, of course Zhu Cihong knows it in his heart. This time, Zhou Yanru was pierced by himself. His father was already disappointed, even if he believed that there might be some talents in the Donglin Party, it was difficult to trust him again.

Zhu Cihong relied on the impression of later generations to understand that both of them were martyred. But what about the rest? Qian Qianyi's water is too cold, but Zhu Cihong still remembers it vividly.

Li Banghua asked. Obviously, there is still no end to the Donglin generation's thoughts about the position of the first assistant.

But Zaifu's position, Zhu Cihong didn't want to touch it. This time touched. I'm afraid it's hard to trust each other anymore.

Thinking like this, Zhu Cihong asked rhetorically: "I don't know the history of Zuodu Yushi that I think it is today's Donglin. How many more talents? ”

"Is this ......" Li Banghua was suddenly asked. Ni Yuanlu's heart suddenly lit up, and he keenly felt that Zhu Cihong had quietly replaced Jiangnan Shilin with Donglin.

How to answer this? Li Banghua groaned a little and said, "Naturally, there is." For example, Huang Youxuan (Huang Daozhou) and Shi Xianzhi (Shi Kefa) are all Shilin Xinzhong. His Majesty also understands the talents of these two people. ”

"Can it be used by orphans?" Zhu Cihong smiled.

Li Banghua was silent for a moment. Of course, these two people are loyal. But now that Emperor Chongzhen is still in power, how can he answer this?

"Lonely has no intention of being with the old Donglin." Zhu Cihong didn't embarrass the two, and said softly: "If you want to comment on Donglin alone." It's nothing more than a mixture of fish and mud. Although there are people with lofty aspirations, they are also people who are not worthy of the name. There are too many people in Donglin who talk about righteousness and have no practice at all. Lonely can't look at it. However, the general constitution rectified the Beijing camp in the early years of Chongzhen, and he deeply appreciated it. ”

Li Banghua said humbly, without saying much: "Your Highness Miao praise." ”

Ni Yuanlu's eyes flashed, and he keenly felt that Zhu Cihong had no resistance to the Donglin Friends Party: "Your Highness doesn't want to deny me Donglin?" Your Majesty has always had a speculation, and I hope His Highness will allow me to be presumptuous! ”

"But it doesn't hurt to be outspoken." Zhu Cihong sat upright.

Ni Yuanlu plucked up the courage and said: "I, Donglin, am already a friend, I don't know what His Highness thinks?" ”

"Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the struggle for power and desire will lead to friends. The gentleman party is not a group, and the lonely is still recognized. Zhu Cihong had no scruples: "But I don't plan to start the party and government." Because His Majesty can't see the friends, there are obviously Qichu and Zhejiang parties among the courtiers, Donglin, and the so-called eunuch party. But no one admits it, hides it, practices secret politics, and is a miasma, and only one person can be fooled. ”

Whoever this fool is talking about, all three of them understand.

Ni Yuanlu was immediately overjoyed, he understood that he had made the right bet this time.

Zhu Cihong is not taboo about friends, Ni Yuanlu guessed it from the time Zhu Cihong talked about the Donglin group without scruples. For officials, Donglin's existence is an open secret. But for the royal family, Donglin is a secretive existence. Because, this involves a heart disease of Emperor Chongzhen. Zhu Youzhen believed that the ministers formed a party for personal gain, and to unite to fool the emperor. Therefore, resolutely crack down on those who form a party, and this is how Wen Tiren ousted Zhou Yanru back then. In this way, Donglin naturally kept it secretive, and no one dared to mention it.

But at the moment, Zhu Cihong is not taboo. Because, what he wants is to create a new Donglin with his own hands! (To be continued.) )
