"Boss, look at the loud killings in this military camp. These soldiers and horses don't look like a militia." "Stop talking nonsense, keep an eye on it, find an opportunity to sneak into the military camp, or we can

If you can get close, you need to do a reconnaissance to find out the configuration and the number of troops inside." On a hilltop not far from the Tianxiong Army camp, three people wearing night clothes were lurking on the mountain, using a tall thatch as a cover to inquire.

Zhu Tianxiong

According to the intelligence of the army camp, these people are Dongchang fans who came from the capital. Since Liu Yi sent Ruan Xing to contact Lu Xiangguan, the reconstruction of the Tianxiong Army has been put on the agenda, but after all, the Tianxiong Army was established by the imperial court.

The official army is essentially a force directly under the imperial court. Without the writings of the Ministry of War and the approval of the Holy Emperor, it can never be reorganized. Otherwise, there are so many generals in the world. Whoever is rich or can be among the people

Raising funds and just randomly raising a team would be a mess. In view of this, Lu Xiangguan did not dare to recruit troops in the name of the Tianxiong Army. He could only say that he would form a Daming Prefecture militia to protect the people.

The environment is safe for the people. But even so, there is no airtight wall in the world. Liu Yi requested that the Tianxiong Army be restored to 6,000 people. In this case, the news cannot be concealed. At the very least, Lu Xiangguan is in Hebei on a large scale.

Recruit young people into

News of joining the militia will soon spread to the capital, and the Tianxiong Army is different from the general army. If the general army stipulates a number of people, then the task is completed if the number of people is gathered, but the reconstruction of the Tianxiong Army is completely

If it is built according to the standards of the Qing Yi Army, then all soldiers will meet high standards and strict requirements, and the elimination rate will be high. Correspondingly, the number of people who come to apply will expand exponentially, and the news will be even more difficult to hide.

Although during the Chongzhen period, the influence of Dongchang and Jinyiwei was already very small. On the one hand, of course, it was because Chongzhen overthrew Wei Zhongxian. The basic condition for the establishment of the Chongzhen regime was to suppress the development of the eunuchs and factory guards. So now, even if Emperor Chongzhen himself returns

After all, I didn't dare to blatantly strengthen the factory guard force in front of the civil and military officials. That would be equivalent to being shaken.

On the other hand, because the Ming Dynasty's economy is about to collapse, and even Liao's salary is almost no longer available, how can there be extra funds to expand the strength of the factory guards? One after another, the days of Jinyiwei and Dongchang

It becomes even more difficult. But even so, it does not mean that these two institutions are deaf and blind, at least near the capital.

Recently, they are still clairvoyant and have good ears, and nothing can be hidden from their eyes. For example, this time Lu Xiangguan recruited soldiers, which immediately attracted the attention of Dongchang. After Cao Huachun got the news, he felt that the matter was very important, as if he had been beaten.

He wanted to investigate the situation in Daming Mansion clearly. Cao Huachun was not prepared to report this to Emperor Chongzhen until the investigation was clear.

If you do something secretly, you should do it secretly. If you achieve results, it will be your own credit. Don't let Jin Yiwei and the others share the profits. Although Luo Yangxing and he are both the right-hand men of Emperor Chongzhen, they still have to divide the left and right after all.

He was a eunuch, and Luo Yangxing was a military commander. They were fundamentally different. If Emperor Chongzhen hadn't been there, they wouldn't have been able to urinate in the same pot.

In fact, the main reason why Cao Huachun is so excited is that Dongchang has repeatedly failed in Nanzhili. If he continues like this, Cao Huachun will lose all his face. Now what Cao Huachun is most afraid of seeing is the complete map of the Ming Dynasty, because in the past, the complete map of the Ming Dynasty was in

It was like a transparent place in front of him

Like, but now, the whole map of the Ming Dynasty has a large shadow, and the entire southern Zhili seems to be shrouded in fog. Cao Huachun tried his best, but he couldn't get rid of this thick layer of fog. It didn't matter if he couldn't get rid of it.

, how did Emperor Chongzhen explain that since the fall of Wei Zhongxian,

Cao Huachun was considered the most powerful eunuch around Chongzhen. Although Wang Chengen's status was high, Wang Chengen essentially did not hold real power. Cao Huachun was the chief eunuch of Dongchang, and he had an army below him. It can also be said that, looking at the whole world now,

Daming, able to self

For example, there is no one else except Cao Huachun for mobilizing the army. Even an eunuch like Gao Qiqian, who supervises the army, must be controlled by the Ministry of War and the Cabinet. Therefore, Cao Huachun wants to perform well, firstly, to earn the emperor's trust, and secondly,

I'm worthy of the chair under my butt.

The Tianxiong Army in Lu Xiangsheng's era and Liu Yi's Qingyi Army are inextricably linked. This is actually not a secret at the top. The people below don't know it. It doesn't mean that Emperor Chongzhen and the senior officials don't know it.

This was the reason for Chongzhen's resentment. He had worked hard to use the court's money to form a new northern army. Not to mention how much the court's investment was, Chongzhen alone

Emperor Zhen himself spent a lot of effort and hoped that they could become the pride of the Ming Empire, but he didn't expect that Lu Xiangsheng would get involved with Liu Yi. In fact, in his heart, Chongzhen could also understand Lu Xiangsheng's approach. After all, the new

No one in the imperial court has experience in the matter of military affairs. No matter who comes to lead the heroic army on that day, they will definitely want to go to Liu Yi.

There, Chongzhen could not accept this matter, and always felt that it would be difficult to get along with Liu Yi. Therefore, Chongzhen actually had very complicated emotions towards Tianxiongjun, fearing that one day Tianxiongjun would become

Like the Qing Yi Army, it became an army that did not listen to the court's orders. This time, the entire Tianxiong Army was wiped out. The reason why Chongzhen did not give the

Lu Xiangsheng and thousands of soldiers had their names rectified because of this inner thought. However, the opportunity had been lost and the good guy was preempted by Liu Yi. Instead, the court fell into a very passive situation. Chongzhen did not say it on the surface, but in fact he was still very depressed in his heart.

Others may not be able to see through it, but people like Wen Tiren, Cao Huachun, and Luo Yangxing don’t know it in their hearts. Read the book

This time Lu Xiangguan recruited a militia group in Daming Mansion, Cao Huachun first thought that this guy was not going to rebuild the Tianxiong Army, because Lu Xiangguan had submitted letters several times before, wanting to get some from the court.

Funds are used to rebuild the Tianxiong Army, but the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War have been suppressing the approval.

, in fact, it is because these two departments do not want to approve, but because the higher-ups do not agree, who dares to make their own decisions? Cao Huachun got the information about the recruitment of troops from Daming Mansion, and slapped him on the thigh. Lu Xiangguan did not want to risk the disapproval of the world, recruit troops and rebuild by himself.

Tianxiong Army, right? If this bastard gets the job done, wouldn’t it be

He slapped the imperial court in the face, no, it was the Holy Emperor's face. As a good servant of the Holy Emperor, Cao Huachun couldn't bear it. He must get to the bottom of this matter. The first thing is to find out what kind of militia this guy is.

nature, how many people there are, and what the equipment is. The second thing is to know, since he

If the militia can be reorganized, it will be fine if the number of people is small. If there are more people, where will the funds come from? You must know that the Daming Prefecture militia formed by Lu Xiangsheng only had one or two thousand people. This has already exhausted the funds of Daming Prefecture.

Moreover, the equipment is very poor, so I don’t know what path Lu Xiangguan took.

The night is already dark, but the military camp outside Damingfu City still has no intention of resting. Standing where several Dongchang fans are standing, you can still hear the sounds of training and the handover of weapons in the military camp, but there are not many torches. Even these fans

The location I chose was good, but it was still a bit far away. I could only see a few dots in the military camp.

They were holding torches, but they couldn't see the personnel clearly. They all felt strange, what kind of training was they doing in the dark? Are they crazy? These Dongchang gangsters usually deal with the ordinary armies of the Ming Dynasty, even the frontier troops.

Night battle training is rarely organized, but the new army is completely different. Since the Tianxiong Army has been rebuilt, it is now even more important than

The Tianxiong Army during Lu Xiangsheng's period put forward higher standards and stricter requirements. Night fighting was a must-have item. At the same time, night fighting was also a major advantage of the new army. The soldiers did not understand it at first, but Lu Xiangguan did not care whether the soldiers understood it or not.

Since they have been provided with good treatment, these soldiers must perform according to the training requirements and get used to it.

After a while, the soldiers no longer had any objections. On the contrary, some thoughtful soldiers and officers felt that night combat training was the real trump card. Just imagine, in this era when people are generally not adapted to the night combat environment, a unit that is good at night combat will be able to exert its effectiveness.

How much combat effectiveness they have, not to mention their extremely sophisticated equipment bonuses.

Just when these Dongchang fans were discussing whether to get closer to investigate, they never expected that there was a team of three people also lurking on another hill a few hundred steps away from them.

In the grass. "Zhuangda, we have discovered big information this time. If we go back and report it, we will definitely get a lot of bounty." "You said it.

Yes, the emperor has been paying attention to the developments in the pass. This famous mansion is recruiting troops again. It seems that these Ming people want to annihilate the whole army again." If the Dongchang team hears the conversation here, their jaws will inevitably drop.

These people were actually speaking Jurchen truth. This three-person team was Huang Taiji’s ace espionage unit, the Blood Droplets. Huang Taiji had formed

After Jianxue Dizi, he not only paid attention to the internal situation of the Qing Dynasty, but also continued to pay more attention to the trends within the Ming Dynasty. Especially after the capital was moved to Xinjing this time, Huang Taiji's strategic perspective suddenly became clear. The Qing army has now

Having captured the Western Region, the Ming Dynasty was actually surrounded on three sides. The northern part of the Ming Dynasty was undefendable. As long as it could break through the long

They can drive straight into the city defense line. This trick has been tried and tested by Huang Taiji. Now the scope is wider. They can even choose to invade the Ming Dynasty from Gansu, so the collection of intelligence within the pass has become a top priority. Huang Taiji dispatched manpower to strengthen the blood drops in the pass.
