Chapter 85 The Confidence of the People
After learning the reason, Zhu Cilang put his heart in his stomach and thought he had made some other taboos. After all, we were separated from here for hundreds of years.
Zhu Cilang immediately sent someone to send it. All ordinary troops were silver, and the imperial guards had gold edges, which could make a difference.
There is no need for any battlefield protection colors in this era. It will be done slowly in the future. Anyway, there are all kinds of colors.
At the beginning, many people always felt a little awkward when they got these things, but after the training began, they felt that the benefits of these clothes were much better than the original clothes.
All officers must have their own clothes, but they are not in the system. Zhu Cixuan combined these combat uniforms and then gathered the tailors in Nanjing City to make some changes to officers of all levels, which can also distinguish the people in the army.
It took a long time in the army to get familiar with these new clothes.
What everyone likes the most is this military boot. When they start, the sound is louder and more neat than the original shoes.
And it was polished and shiny. After putting on this dress, I obviously felt a sense of pride.
In addition, Zhu Cilang also let many tailors enter the military camp to help the soldiers change their clothes. In addition, he embroidered the word "明" on the chest of all the soldiers.
The whole army is changing uniforms here, and the Ministry of War has also received urgent reports, and what should be come is still needed.
The Xuzhou garrison submitted a memorial, and in their north, they had already seen patrol soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.
Although the number of people is not large, it also caused great panic. After all, the Qing Dynasty had occupied most of the north, and it was unstoppable and had extremely strong combat power.
The Xuzhou garrison once sent people to reconnaissance, but most of them were killed by the other party. Since then, everyone has been huddled in Xuzhou City, and no one dared to go out.
Xuzhou turned out to be Gao Jie's territory. After Gao Jie brought his men back to Nanjing, one of his deputy generals was stationed there, all of which were old-fashioned troops. It is not surprising that such a result was achieved.
Another thing was mentioned in the memorial. There are many enterprises in Shandong and Henan. The Qing army may not be able to pass for the time being, but I also hope that the court can send reinforcements quickly.
Zhu Cixuan thought about the original history. At this time, the court had not sent troops south yet, and the main force should have been beseeched by Li Zicheng.
Now the three-month recruit training is about to be completed, so we cannot disturb the training of recruits because of this matter.
After sending the memorial back, everyone thought it was okay. The court was preparing for a celebration banquet after the training. Who knew that the memorial from Xuzhou City had come again. About 3,000 cavalrymen in the Qing Dynasty surrounded the entire Xuzhou City.
Since ancient times, Xuzhou has been a military sect that has guarded the passage to the south. If it is lost, the Qing army will be able to quickly enter the hinterland of the four towns in Jiangbei like Zhu Cixuan.
At that time, it had a great impact on Nanjing and the areas south. Now that the economy has just recovered, if the people are afraid of escaping everywhere, the economy is likely to collapse.
Zhu Cilang can still calm down, but the people can no longer calm down.
There is no way to block this news. After all, people often come from the north to make a living, so the news is like wings.
Many people in Nanjing were ready to go south, and some dignitaries prepared their carriages and ships early and began to transport their own furniture.
There is a reason why everyone does this. Historically, when fighting wars between the Southern and Northern Dynasties basically resulted in more losses than winning or less.
Even if His Highness the Crown Prince works hard to govern, even if His Highness’s army is powerful, it is only to deal with the army in the south and has never fought a war with the Qing people.
In the hearts of these people, the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty were invincible. Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty would have suppressed bandits in Liaodong for so many years, not only did it not kill others, but it would have lost the capital.
If His Royal Highness is really capable, why would he come to Nanjing City?
According to what the people thought, Emperor Chongzhen's army would definitely not be able to defeat Li Zicheng, otherwise Emperor Chongzhen would not have died.
But Li Zicheng's army would definitely not be able to defeat the Eight Banners Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty, otherwise he would not have run to Xi'an.
Our army should be the weakest. Now that the Eight Banners Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty is coming, what are you waiting for if you don’t run away quickly?
Rumors spread the fastest. Zhu Cixuan had so many new policies in Nanjing, and he thought he had already bought people's hearts. Who knew that just the news that the Qing people were going south had already caused storms in the city.
"Your Highness, the old slave has investigated it clearly. About 30% of the shops in Nanjing have closed down. Some are because the boss goes south, and some are because he cannot find a friend..."
Zhu Cilang kept asking Takata to watch things in the Nanjing market. After hearing this news, it was indeed a headache.
When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first entered the capital, many people were indeed confident, but when it came to the point, we couldn't control others' feet.
Among the people who escaped, many were court officials, and they couldn't take care of so many, so they just took their families to the south.
Nowadays, there are endless people leaving the city every day, but not many people coming back.
"Your Highness, do you want us to close the nine gates? Let these people stay in the city."
Cao Renli thought about it. If the city gate was not closed, there would be more people running out, but Zhu Cilang shook his head. If he did this, people would be even more panicked.
"What city gate is closed? A few Qing Tartars came? The army under the last general had completed training and beg the crown prince to order that I will lead the troops north immediately and pacify them."
Li Guodong said indifferently that this guy did not take the Qing people into consideration before.
In his eyes, these troops are no match for them. As long as the Crown Prince can agree, killing them with the past few months of training is like cutting melons and vegetables.
Everyone has two shoulders and one head. Could it be that you can block the bullet?
When everyone saw Zhu Cilang worried, they knew that this matter was difficult to deal with.
In fact, Zhu Ciyang was not worried about the Qing people. From Li Guodong's attitude, you can see Zhu Ciyang's attitude. Everyone knows the power of muskets, so how could they be afraid of the Qing people?
Zhu Cilang was worried about the attitude of the people. He thought he had done a good job before, but who knew that these people would still run away when they encountered problems. To put it bluntly, he still lacks confidence. He has to find a way to stabilize them...
