Emperor Chongzhen had always wanted to carry out military reform, and the new army was actually a model. At present, it was because the new army showed strong combat power on the battlefield in Liaodong. Therefore, in the capital, the second batch of new army was already under large-scale training. However, the personnel quality was naturally not as good as the first batch. After all, they were elite troops selected from border troops from all over the country.

The second batch of new troops are now focusing on firearms. After improving management methods and strictly controlling product quality, the performance of flintlock guns and artillery has been greatly improved. Therefore, the new new troops eliminate the weak and retain the strong on the basis of the Beijing camp and carry out large-scale firearm training. After all, firearms are the king of the future battlefield. The only problem is that the cost of the new army is because of the large scale of firearm training, and the cost incurred is also high.

If this were the past, it would probably have been abandoned halfway. But one was that the new army had the basis for winning the battle, the second was that the court's finances were at least not as poor as before, and the third was that with the victory of the war and the operation of making money, Emperor Chongzhen's prestige increased day by day. The fourth was that he had examined the important officials in the court last year, and most of the ones left were like-minded comrades. Combined with various factors, although the cost of the new army was high, there were not many oppositions.

In this way, another thing happened. The strong soldiers in the army were left behind. How to arrange the weak soldiers? Emperor Chongzhen had long thought about this. Now that Liu Mao had a human resource problem, a solution would come out naturally.

I heard Emperor Chongzhen explain to Liu Mao: "The army of the Jiangnan garrison is no longer suitable for combat, but it is probably not a big problem to use for road construction. Moreover, the organization in the form of an army is also easy to manage. Moreover, you are a member of the Ministry of War. With my order, you should mobilize the troops of the surrounding garrisons. After screening strong troops, you can gather weak soldiers to build roads. In this way, the wealthy merchants are in place, and the garrisons provide manpower, so that the road construction can be carried out at any time."

Liu Mao was overjoyed when he heard this. In fact, he had thought about this. After all, in the past, he had all raised the post stations, so naturally he would not see that the bad soldiers on the Jiangnan garrison were actually the private laborers of the officers of the garrison. Now that the emperor endorses him, he was a minister in charge of the Ministry of War, and it was natural to mobilize troops to build roads.

"You have clearly stated to the road construction army that after the cement road is repaired, it is necessary to maintain and toll fees for the road patrol. The soldiers who are actively repairing the road can be identified and selected." Emperor Chongzhen added before Liu Mao could react.

When Liu Mao heard this, he couldn't help but be even more happy. This is a good job, and it's a fat man! With such a bait hanging, it is estimated that the speed of road construction will be much faster than that of civilians.

Thinking of this, he quickly bowed and responded, satisfied, and quickly got the order to do things.

Emperor Chongzhen solved this matter and stopped no longer. He took a boat north, never stopped all the way, and returned to the capital.

This time I left Beijing, I solved several basic but crucial problems, and I also had an intuitive understanding of the prosperity of Jiangnan's economy. I also made a big wave of achievements, and it was worth it! I waited for a while and I would like to have a private visit.

Emperor Chongzhen was happy, but Huang Taiji from Liaodong was very unhappy. Because the people he sent to North Korea had just returned, saying that there was no large-scale riots and riots in North Korea, and even the Ming army did not harass them. It was because North Korea was too poor. Last year, the struggle was full of white bones.

However, the Qing army's life in North Korea was better than that in Liaodong, at least the food and food resources were more abundant than in Liaodong. Therefore, the two flags in Dorgon and Duoduo's hands did not lose much combat power. According to rumors, North Korea had food and food resources transported from Japan.

Although Dorgon wanted to conceal this news, Huang Taiji, as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, even if it was the Zhengbai Banner, there would naturally be Huang Taiji's eyes and ears in the white Banner. Although Dorgon's operation of Japan was definitely not necessary. But the matter would be spread.

Huang Taiji was angry about this. The Qing soldiers in Liaodong and the Ming army were fighting to the death, but you, Dorgon, lived a prosperous life in North Korea. What does it mean to preserve your strength?

If possible, Huang Taiji would like to tell Emperor Chongzhen, "Didn't your Ming Dynasty always regard yourself as a country of the Celestial Kingdom? Haven't North Korea always been a vassal state of your Ming Dynasty? Why don't you send troops to North Korea quickly and drive our Qing army out! Isn't that Lu Xiangsheng very powerful? Don't stay in Jinzhou, go to Peak Island and go to North Korea!

But judging from the signs we have at present, this idea would not be supported by the Ming Kingdom. The Ming army grabbed Liaodong and refused to let go, which made him not angry!

Although the troops in Fuzhou have been withdrawn successfully and no major war has occurred, the Qing Dynasty's horse exploration and the Ming Dynasty's night-delay battle are very fierce. If it were before, there would have never been such a thing. As long as the Qing Dynasty's horse exploration is more powerful, it can quickly kill the Ming Dynasty's night-delay battle. But now, the Ming Dynasty's night-delay battle has become as brave as the Qing Dynasty's horse exploration, which is almost a battle of land. Although from the military information reported every few days below, the Ming army's night-delay battle is more casualties than the Qing Dynasty's horse exploration, but the Ming army's night-delay battle seems to be more courageous than the Qing Dynasty's horse exploration.

This trend is very bad! Huang Taiji is also very troubled about this. If the scouts in the wild cannot defeat the Ming army and are eventually suppressed by the Ming army, the only advantage of the Qing Dynasty will be gone, and they will become a real deaf and blind man. Many things will become very passive. The only thing left in the Qing Dynasty will be to hide in the city and be beaten passively.

Such a thing must not happen! Huang Taiji made up his mind fiercely. He roared at Dai Shan: "I don't believe it. The Qing Dynasty's horse exploration will not be used to waste the Ming army at night? Pass on my will to select elite troops and send additional horse exploration. It is necessary to exhaust the elite Ming army at night and destroy them so that they dare not leave the city without scrupulousness!"

After many scout confrontations, there were naturally losses and losses. Jianlu also captured some Ming troops at night. When interrogated, it was mainly composed of the most brave New Army's night-to-night non-collection and the former Guanning Army's night non-collection. Although there were a lot of night non-collection in Guanning Army, the new army's night non-collection was not much. Therefore, Huang Taiji had this statement, and he had to waste these night non-collections and re-control the wilderness.
