363 Don't miss my chance
Emperor Chongzhen's words revealed two information. First, as long as the new army performs well, the army will be expanded. Obviously, if the new army expands, then all these veterans will benefit.
Second, if the new army performs poorly, then I am sorry, the court lacks money and food, so it can only be given priority to the army that wins the battle, such as the army of the governor of Denglai.
Emperor Chongzhen gave the new army two choices. Should you let me down or make me proud of you? From the beginning to the end, he emphasized the honor of this new army: the emperor was formed by himself, the emperor asked in person, the emperor often came to visit, and they represented the emperor.
Every soldier in the new army, as long as he tells these things, others will envy them. This is the honor that the new army has at the beginning. If it weren't for the new army, there would naturally be no such honor.
Emperor Chongzhen used practical actions to cultivate the new army's honor, and even told them that the greatest honor and the thing that can make the emperor look the most is that they want to win the battle. Not to mention that Jianlu's troops were free of time to win the battle, they had to fight against the main force of Jianlu to win! This was equivalent to setting a goal for the new army, asking them to do better than other armies, and if they wanted to do it, they would become the strongest army of the Ming Dynasty!
Is it a person, especially a man, not to mention a man among men. After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, Cao Bianjiao couldn't help it and responded loudly: "Yes!"
It’s just a barbarian, I’m afraid of a ball!
The other soldiers also shouted and responded loudly to the emperor with one word: "Yes!"
Mao Yuanyi, the chief coach of the new army, stood up at the right time and said loudly: "During training, if I find anyone who drags the new army back and fails the holy grace, I will kick him out of the new army as soon as possible and get back there! The new army is His Majesty's new army, and we must be the strongest army of the Ming Dynasty. Don't be cowards or burdens!"
At this moment, everyone in the new army was holding their heads up and showing their energy as much as possible. After finally joining the new army, finally getting such treatment, finally being able to catch the emperor's eyes. Going out means the emperor's face, who is willing to lose all this!
Emperor Chongzhen looked at the new army soldiers below on the general stage, and after careful observation, he felt satisfied. The army's sense of honor cannot be achieved overnight. It needs to be emphasized again and again until they engraved the number of the First Division of the Ming Army in their bones, and then it would be done!
Thinking of this, he also looked at the national flag fluttering in the wind on the flagpole in front of the platform. Now there is a flag-raising ceremony every morning, which is slowly carved into the bones of the new army soldiers. It is almost the same. It is time to raise the flag of the Ming First Division of the new army. After all, time does not wait for anyone, and the familiarity period of the new army should be almost the same. Next, it is time to select officers and officially start to form the new army.
With this idea, when Emperor Chongzhen returned to the palace, he was preparing to summon Mao Yuanyi, Zu Dashou, Man Gui and others to start the matter. However, what he did not expect was that when he returned to the palace, Liu Xingzuo, the commander of the Jinyiwei, came hurriedly to ask for a meeting and said that there was an urgent matter to be reported.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard the urgent matter, he naturally gave priority to dealing with it and immediately summoned Liu Xingzuo to Wuying Palace to meet him.
"Your Majesty, the traitor would rather play. I said there is important information to say, but the premise is that your Majesty pardoned his Tonglu's crimes!" After seeing the ceremony, Liu Xingzuo reported in a little ashamed manner.
When he saw the emperor frowned, he quickly added: "He heard the consequences of Tonglu's crimes from Wu Ergou and others, so he gritted his teeth and did not speak without being tortured. He said that as long as His Majesty pardoned him, he would be willing to atone for his sins and do anything for the Ming Dynasty, and would provide very important information."
After a pause, he added his opinion and said, "I would rather play this than be appreciated by the slave chief in Jianlu. I should know a lot of things. I think it is important, so I dare not make decisions without authorization. Please tell your Majesty if you should increase the punishment and pry open his mouth?"
If I could pry Ning Wan's mouth open by just using a punishment, I believe Liu Xingzuo would not have reported it specifically. It is very likely that if he used another punishment, he would probably kill him. He was not sure to get the information, so he had to ask for instructions.
Emperor Chongzhen naturally understood this meaning, frowned and thought for a while, and then instructed Liu Xingzuo to see him personally.
Not long after, Liu Xingzuo took Ning Wan to the side hall. Emperor Chongzhen went over and saw that he was a little scared. Ning Wan had been tortured so that people were not like humans, ghosts were not like ghosts. His nose was cut off, and one ear was missing. His right half of his face was swollen like an air. His fingers were wrapped in cloth, but the blood was obvious, so he was obviously seriously injured.
The Jinyiwei's method seemed to be too cruel! At least when the Dongchang interrogated Manager Han, there was no trace on the surface.
Emperor Chongzhen thought, frowned slightly. However, this man was a big traitor, and he didn't know how many people there were in his hands. After suffering such a crime, he could relieve his anger and not be so chaotic that he would have to forgive him.
But Liu Xingzuo guessed what the emperor was thinking and quickly replied: "Your Majesty, Wu Ergou is a little cruel. When he went to take over, he was already disfigured."
He originally thought that the emperor might let Ning Wan go back and be an insider, but now that he is like this, he will definitely not be able to go back. It is a bad thing. I have to explain this.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he remembered Wu Ergou's hatred for Jianlu. It was normal to do this with his means of gangsters. So he was not confused about this anymore. Looking at Ning Wan, I asked, "I can forgive you, but don't let me down!"
"Your Majesty, please spare your life. I have no choice but to do so. Your Majesty..." Ning Wan I begged for mercy, as if the bull's head was wrong, and my mouth was leaking, as if a few teeth were knocked off, and I was not very clear about my words.
Liu Xingzuo was a little embarrassed and told the emperor: "His ear was also deafened by Wu Ergou. Now his hearing is influential and he can't hear the Qing Dynasty."
After explaining, he leaned into Ning Wan's ear and conveyed the emperor's words loudly.
Ning Wan, my face was swollen like that, and basically no expression changed, but Emperor Chongzhen could see a strong will to survive from his eyes.
"Your Majesty, the sinner and the Yuan Yongping Army Beidao Bai Yangcui entered the pass together and separated in Tianjin. The sinner came to the capital and he went to Jiangnan." Ning Wan, I dared not negotiate the conditions in front of the emperor. I knew that if I would anger the emperor, I really didn't have a chance to survive, so I consciously confessed.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard that it was Yuan Yongping's official, he immediately became angry. If they hadn't been incompetent and had defected to Jianlu, Yongping's tragedy would not have happened. This man would have been killed without forgiveness!
