Not to mention how long it will take Hong Chengchou to get used to Lu Ruipeng by his side, just talk about Emperor Chongzhen, who was far away in the capital, and after learning that the bandits in northern Shaanxi finally rushed into Shanxi, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. After replying to Lu Ruipeng, he immediately summoned the Minister of War and the auxiliary minister of the cabinet. After discussing for a long time, he decided to start heavy troops along the Yellow River and suppress the bandits from south to north. Even if these bandits could not be wiped out, they would still drive them out of the pass.

After finishing all these things, Emperor Chongzhen unexpectedly set up a camp in the capital. However, this time, he did not set up the emperor's entire set of ceremonies. He just rode over under the escort of eunuchs such as Gao Shiyue, Fang Zhenghua, etc.

At this time, military discipline training was being conducted on the school grounds assigned to the new army in the Beijing camp. Even in ancient times, they were still standing. When Qi Jiguang was just transferred to the north to rectify the army, he asked the Qi family army he brought to stand up. Without orders to disband, the Qi family army was not afraid of the wind and rain, and insisted on using the standing posture to make the northern military soldiers become obedient from then on.

Today, Mao Yuanyi, the general in charge of the new army, was ordered to train Qi Jiguang's military tactics. The training of military discipline was to let them stand in a military posture, and they could not move without orders, and they could not be disbanded. They would survive the will of these veterans, sharpen the tempers of these veterans, and practice the military disciplines of these veterans.

Therefore, when Emperor Chongzhen arrived, he saw that there were more than 5,000 people on the school ground, all of whom were motionless in the cold wind, and remained standing in the spring, just like clay sculptures.

When Gao Shiyue saw this, she smiled and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty is still wise. Now these soldiers and gangsters are afraid of losing points during the training, so they are overtaken by their companions and are all training hard. I think a strong army can be successful!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he glanced at him and smiled. In his heart, this was also the idea. Otherwise, he would not have offered so many conditions and given generous treatment. Isn’t the purpose of training a strong army as soon as possible?

These new army soldiers have already had personal combat skills and battlefield training, and have all seen blood. If they can implement orders in military discipline, it is naturally much faster than training the new army from scratch. According to the training plan arranged by himself and Mao Yuanyi, after completing the military discipline, they must start the battle formation drill. As long as these two parts are done in place, they can be pulled out and fought!

He thought about this and was watching. Mao Yuanyi, the general manager of the Beijing Camp, Rong Mangui, and others, arrived with all their skills.

At this time, the Beijing Camp could not do it, and it was impossible to learn the practice of the Xiliu Camp. It would be nonsense if there was no order from the commander of the leader and dared to keep the emperor out. The emperor was the supreme commander, and the emperor was the heaven. As long as the emperor was proved, who would have the courage to turn it out? If there was such an army, then when the war broke out, would this army be listened to the general or the emperor? If the general asked them to kill the monarch, would they do it?

Therefore, Xiliuying's approach is simply seeking death! In the end, Zhou Yafu's fate will be easy to understand. If Man Gui dares to learn from Zhou Yafu, his fate will not be very good!

The movements of Mao Yuanyi, Man Gui and others finally alarmed the new soldiers. I don’t know who knelt down first, and then all the new soldiers knelt down to welcome the emperor.

Emperor Chongzhen climbed to the general platform and glanced at the new soldiers below. Seeing that each of them had sweat on their faces, he was also satisfied. He immediately said loudly: "I said that I will come to see you. Practice well and don't let me down!"

If there is an army, will the emperor be so expecting? No, there is only a new army. These new army soldiers were so respected by the emperor, and they were all very excited and immediately responded loudly: "Long live my emperor!"

Cao Bianjiao in the new army believed more firmly that as long as he made a name for himself in this new army, his future prospects would be great, and he would have hope to catch up with Wu Sangui!

Emperor Chongzhen on the stage said so simply, and then asked them to continue training, and he was in the Jingying Yamen. His main purpose this time was to find Man Gui's.

Emperor Chongzhen sat in the seat where Man Gui was originally sitting. Looking at Man Gui standing below, he asked kindly: "Manqing, I have to ask you some people!"

When Man Gui heard this, he was a little stunned, and then immediately replied loudly: "Your Majesty wants someone, just one imperial edict, there is no need to come here in person."

"Haha, I'm going to see the new army by the way." Emperor Chongzhen explained, and then said: "All the artillery soldiers and smart soldiers in the Beijing camp will be selected for me. I want about 500 people, so I will only pick six or seven hundred people. I'm waiting here."

There was a saying in later generations that artillery is the god of war, and this sentence is widely circulated. The power of artillery is well known. Although there are no bombs made of yellow gunpowder, an army, even if Emperor Chongzhen thought, was mainly cold weapons, and believed that artillery must be equipped with artillery. This time, his purpose was to come here.

When Man Gui took the order to pick people, Mao Yuanyi guessed happily: "Your Majesty, are you planning to set up an artillery battalion?"

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen mentioned this kind of thing to the general in charge of the new army. With the preliminary idea, this new army was equipped with a field artillery battalion, which belonged to the division directly.

In Emperor Chongzhen's idea, this new army was used to attack. Therefore, the configuration of artillery was different from that of Qi Jiguang's chariot camp or Mao Yuanyi's chariot camp.

In terms of configuration of the New Army artillery battalion, tiger squat cannons and large and small Franco machine cannons, which can keep up with the army in operation, and shotgun killing is the main one in combat. On average, five people per cannon is calculated, five hundred people means one hundred cannons. For an army of more than 5,000 people, it should be almost the same.

After receiving the affirmative reply from Emperor Chongzhen, Mao Yuanyi couldn't help but feel overjoyed. It seemed that the emperor really did not break his promise and personally controlled the logistics of the new army. At this moment, he had never had confidence in whether the new army could become a strong army!

But there is one thing that Mao Yuanyi regrets that the emperor has already stated in advance that all officers of this new army will be decided by the new army. Therefore, even he has no share.

Thinking of these things, Mao Yuanyi's rising emotions also fell a lot. However, he was the chief in the new army after all. If he talked about it in the future, his name would be kept in history. Therefore, he even paid special attention when accompanying Emperor Chongzhen to select the soldiers in the cannon camp, and stayed until the emperor finished selecting and returning to the palace.
