Chongzhen Chat Group

Emperor Chongzhen's questioning style has been mentioned to the New Army many times. Therefore, there is no need for anyone to command, the new army officers know how to answer.

"Yes!" More than 5,000 men roared in unison, with decisiveness, determination, and full of masculinity, which shook the school grounds. Some civil servants who were caught off guard were shocked!

What the hell? He responded so loudly, it was so scary!

Emperor Chongzhen liked it very much, and immediately asked Cao Bianjiao and Feng Dehua to hold a flag-raising ceremony. On the flagpole that had been empty next to the Ming Dynasty flag, the New Army flag was raised for the first time.

Watching the military flag rising, Emperor Chongzhen also understood in his heart that it was impossible for the New Army to make the military flag become a unity of military spirit just by saying this. This point requires instructing supervisors at all levels to instill it in peacetime.

After the military flag was raised, under the attention of everyone, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly stood up from his throne and strode to the general stand. He looked around at the civil and military officials and the new soldiers below, and then said loudly: "Governor Denglai has now led the Dongjiang Cavalry to capture Liaoyang. This is the first step for our Ming Dynasty to show its power. I hope that you will be the leader of our Ming Dynasty in regaining Liaodong." The main force and vanguard. Use Jianlu's blood to add bright colors to this military flag. If you don't work hard, Jianlu will be killed by friendly forces by then, and you will not have the glory of recovering Liaodong. Do you understand?"

The news of Lu Xiangsheng's capture of Liaoyang was only known to the upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty and was circulated in a small area. At this time, when the emperor said it in front of so many people, most of them were shocked.

They admitted that Lu Xiangsheng was a ruthless man, but basically everyone in the official circles knew what kind of army Dongjiang was. How could he suddenly capture Liaoyang, an important town in Liaodong? If the emperor hadn't said it himself, no one would believe it!

This news shocked all civil and military officials, as well as the officers and soldiers of the New Army. As elites of the border army, they naturally understood the power of Jianlu. Liaoyang is also an important military town in Liaodong. It is really surprising that Lu Xiangsheng was able to capture Liaoyang!

If we can't complete the training as soon as possible and get the opportunity to go to war as soon as possible, Governor Denglai may really kill all the Jianlu.

Thinking of this, the officers and soldiers of the New Army, who all thought of breathing a sigh of relief when they saw the establishment of the New Army, immediately gathered their energy and responded loudly: "Understood!"

The newly appointed division general Cao Huachun was even more anxious and secretly vowed to complete the integration of military drills as soon as possible.

Emperor Chongzhen achieved his goal, and then ordered the emperor to return to the palace. As for those who are inquiring about the war in Liaodong, let them do so. The good news has not yet arrived, and the process has not officially reached the capital, so just treat it as if it is not official news.

At this time, he was sitting on the dragon chariot, his consciousness had entered the chat group, and he was paying attention to the war in the distance.

On the Pidao side, Li Deming reported that the navy commander Li Zhiqi advocated taking the initiative to catch the puppet North Korean navy by surprise. However, Xu Fuzu advocated waiting for work and waiting for the puppet Korean navy to cross the sea to attack.

When the two disagreed, they reported it to Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, and then went straight to the imperial court to be judged by the emperor. The reason why Lu Xiangsheng did this was because he had never met Li Zhiqi, and he didn't know Li Zhiqi's true ability, so he felt it was difficult to make a conclusion.

In this era, the navy is not actually an independent branch of the military, but is under the command of the land army generals. But in the era before Emperor Chongzhen, the Navy was an independent branch responsible for maritime attack and defense. Therefore, when Emperor Chongzhen considered his future strategic arrangements, he also intended to make the naval branch independent from the land.

Another reason is that Emperor Chongzhen understood Zheng Zhilong's ability, and Li Zhiqi, who could make Zheng Zhilong kill him with great effort and combined the forces of many parties, must be very powerful in naval battles.

Based on these two reasons, Emperor Chongzhen said to Li Deming after some consideration: "In the battle of Pi Island, the naval battle will be decided by Li Zhiqi, and the land battle will be decided by Xu Fuzuo. When it comes to sea and land wars, the two of them must cooperate with each other!"

This news was immediately conveyed to Pi Dao. When Li Zhiqi heard this, he laughed loudly, ignored Xu Fuzuo who was a little surprised, and went to prepare by himself.

There are about fifty warships at Pidao Pier, but those belonging to the former Korean Navy only have more than thirty bows. As soon as Li Zhiqi arrived at the dock, he just asked the big black boats with two bows that he had modified to prepare.

Li Deming, who followed him to the dock, was a little worried when he saw it, so he said to him: "Your Excellency, are you planning to send these two bow boats to fight?"

"What, do you have any objections?" Upon hearing this, Li Zhiqi opened his mouth and asked.

In the past, Li Deming would not have dared to talk back, but now that his identity was different, he still nodded and said: "The emperor trusts you. Maritime affairs are decided by you, sir. Please don't live up to your holy grace!"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhiqi suddenly remembered that the Korean in front of him could represent the emperor. This time, he became more serious, stared at Li Deming for a while, and finally explained: "I have been at sea for half my life, so naturally I will not joke with my life and future. There are reasons why I do this. "

"There are many ships on the other side, and they have just arrived. They are just anchored in the harbor. They probably didn't expect that they would be able to attack them as soon as possible. This is called taking them by surprise and attacking them unprepared."

"Second, if we don't attack and let the other side attack, we don't know when it will attack or how many troops will come. We might as well go to war if we defend day and night. The choice to start a war is in our hands. Yes or no?"

Listening to Li Zhiqi's talk, Li Deming couldn't help but secretly admire him. Although he looked rough, he was actually a smart person! Thinking of this, he quickly nodded in agreement.

There seemed to be a trace of amusement in Li Zhiqi's eyes, and he stared at Li Deming and suddenly said: "One more thing, I don't trust the warships of you North Korean navy..."

"Don't worry, sir. Lord Gwanghae is stupid and ignorant. He regards thieves as his father. We Koreans all hate him..." Li Deming became anxious upon hearing this and explained quickly.

Li Zhiqi curled up the corner of his mouth, showing a disdainful smile, and immediately asked: "Then can you guarantee that every North Korean is like you? If the other side pays a lot of money to bribe them, or threatens their families, can you guarantee that they will all be able to cooperate with you?" Aren’t you going to rebel and surrender?”

He himself was betrayed by his generals for a while, and was finally defeated by Zheng Zhilong, so he had to be extra vigilant about this than ever before.

"..." Li Deming was speechless upon hearing this, because he really couldn't guarantee it!

Seeing this, Li Zhiqi stopped teasing Li Deming based on his identity. Instead, he gave another reason and said: "Why did Mr. Bird kill so many people and still seek refuge with Jianlu? I can be sure that those pseudo-navigators on the other side will Everyone here will not work together. I am just afraid that over time, Jianlu will eliminate this situation, so I have to stab him first!"
