Ming Dynasty: The Rampant Crown Prince

"The soldier's oath has been pasted in the major barracks.

Zhu Cihong stood on the high platform, looking at the soldiers below, the current Beijing camp is very energetic, they are the first batch of professional soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers will no longer be a place to eat and survive, but a place to protect the family and defend the country.

"Back to Your Highness, I have memorized it for the past two days, and I am waiting for His Highness to take the oath.

Gao Yi's face also showed a trace of excitement, the declaration of the Ming army, and now the oath of the soldiers, all make people have a sense of responsibility and mission, making them feel that the soldiers are no longer cheap, but very glorious, this is the real destination of the soldiers.

"Now start taking

the oath!" Gao Yi walked to the edge of the high platform and shouted, "Take an oath to the banner of the Ming Dynasty!!"

The herald beside him immediately rode his horse and galloped towards the back, conveying the order.

After tens of thousands of people below received the order, their faces immediately became solemn, they stood up straight, raised their right hands, clenched their fists, raised them to the height of their foreheads, and then began to swear loudly

! This set was taught by His Royal Highness the Prince, but he felt that it was excellent!

"I am noble

!" "I XXX!" (name.

"It is a soldier of the Ming Empire, I hereby solemnly swear: I will defend every inch of the Ming Empire to the death, serve the people wholeheartedly, obey the orders of the state, be loyal to my duties, strictly abide by the law and discipline, brave and tenacious, not afraid of hardship, have no concealment in my heart, and will not evade, I will completely and loyally perform my duty to protect the family and defend the country!!".

In the entire Beijing camp, tens of thousands of people roared in unison, the earth-shattering sound, as if to shake the sky, Zhu Cihong stood on the high platform, and also swore an oath together, of course he couldn't watch at this time, this is a good moment to enhance prestige and army cohesion.

With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with them, show their faces more and move more, this army will be very loyal in the future, even if Gao Yi calls them to rebel, it is estimated that they will not follow.

This way of showing more faces and getting closer to each other can be much more effective than being high up and never seeing the top boss in your life.

"Swear to die for

the Ming Empire, swear to die for Your Majesty, swear to die for His Royal Highness the Prince, swear to die for the safety of the Ming people!" After the oath was taken, tens of thousands of people below shouted again in front of the Tai, and everyone's eyes were staring at His Royal Highness the Prince on the high platform

......

Noon.

Zhu Cihong sat in the lobby, and Gao Yi and a group of generals sat below waiting for instructions.

"How is the training of the 10,000-strong musket team?" After

a few months of training, the Shenji battalion should be no problem, and now the Beijing battalion has changed the three battalions into two battalions, the Shenji battalion firearms, the three thousand battalions of cavalry, and the only infantry is the trapping camp, and he plans to make the 110,000 army, except for the trapping camp, be able to ride and walk.

Including the people of the Shenji Battalion, they must be able to fight immediately, they don't need to be very powerful, they can do it, so that the Beijing Battalion will be much more flexible and will not be so hanging.

"Back to Your Highness, the 10,000 musket team of the Shenji Battalion has basically completed its training, and it has been able to master the phalanx very well, lining up to shoot the formation.

Zhang Wenjing, the general of the Shenji Battalion, stood up and replied: "Once the war starts, the Shenji Battalion can quickly deploy multiple phalanx formations, and then turn into a huge phalanx, each formation forms a three-stage shooting, on the left and right of the phalanx, the rear, the cavalry waits, trapping both sides of the camp, this set has been trained for more than three months, and can be initially mastered."

"Good.

Zhu Cihong nodded with satisfaction, this phalanx formation is a more commonly used formation for queuing and shooting tactics, and each phalanx is spaced at a wide distance between them, so that the cavalry can shuttle and sprint in the phalanx, and they are not afraid of the enemy stretching the formation and rushing over.

"This time, the palace plans to go down to the south of the Yangtze River, and will mobilize 50,000 troops from Beijing, 10,000 Shenji battalion musket teams, 10,000 cavalry, and 30,000 logistics.

After Zhu Cihong saw the training results of the Beijing camp, he was also a lot more relieved, and he directly had a plan, he could immediately leave for the south of the Yangtze River, completely solve the problem of taking away smuggled salt, and kill a group of local gentry who like to make ghosts by the way.

"The purpose of this time is to transfer troops to Nanjing, in order to defend Henan against thieves, the whereabouts of this palace are kept secret, and they will go to Nanjing in advance, and you will follow.

"But the real purpose of going here is to solve a group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials who have violated the law and discipline in Jiangnan and brought disaster to the country and the people, and the gentry and businessmen who smuggle salt and iron

, are not clear?" "The last general understands!"

Gao Yi and the others stood up and hugged their fists together, without the slightest hesitation, and did not ask more, because at this moment, their trust in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is absolute, His Royal Highness said that these people are guilty, then they must be guilty, they don't need to ask more, and they don't need to think more!

Even if His Royal Highness wants to lead them to force the palace to ascend the throne at this moment, they will support them without saying a word!

" "Come on!" Zhu

Cihong shouted outside.

"The slave is here!" Qiu

Zhizhong walked in from outside.

"Go to the Ministry of Industry immediately and bring over a complete map of the Jiangnan and Huai regions!" Zhu

Cihong wants to seal all the entrances and exits of the entire Jiangnan and Jianghuai regions, but whoever is on his death list will be wiped out, and it is impossible for them to run away, or they will not do it, or they will do it if they want to do it, and every time he wants to engage people, he must be beheaded all over the house, and he will kill them all, leaving no trouble, and he will not even give their descendants a chance to take revenge, this is his style!

He was also forced by this group of people to have no choice, more than 10 million salt taxes, by these people into a million taels, who can stand this, now is the war era of natural and man-made disasters, I don't know how to converge, don't engage these people, who to do?

What the predecessors dare not do, he Zhu Cihong will do it!

After a while, Qiu Zhizhong walked in with a map, and then hung it on the wall, and a large map fell, densely covered with markers, cities, mountains, rivers, valleys, villages, coasts, and so on,...... These are clearly marked.

The Lianghuai side of the south of the Yangtze River is the tax center of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the economic center and the most prosperous area, so the map depiction of this area is very careful and very clear.

"Your Highness, there are a few more.

Qiu Zhizhong said, ordered the rest of the map to be hung on the walls on all sides, and then retreated.

"Come, let's take a note of the map, and then we will talk about how to blockade several major areas in Jiangnan.

Zhu Cihong stood up, walked to the first map, and then said: "This time, the main areas are Nanjing, Suzhou, Yangzhou, Hangzhou, Jinhua, after blockading these cities, and then slowly expanding the front, 5,000 logistics stayed in Nanjing, and the remaining 45,000 people were all spread out.

"When the time comes, the Jinyi Guard will submit a list, and after the palace confirms it, the whole army will be sent, and then you will start to arrest people according to the list, is it clear?"

"The last general commands!" The

generals immediately stood up straight, and then shouted.

"Come, now start recording the route and assign the route to the march.

Zhu Cihong returned to his seat from the new, and then Gao Yi led everyone to start busy, recording the map of the map, and arranging the war zone to arrange the war zone.

Two days later, after everything was ready, a decree was issued from the East Palace, mobilizing 50,000 elites from the Beijing camp to garrison Nanjing.

This move, the Ministry of War, and even the entire court officials do not understand, although Nanjing is next to Henan, and Henan is full of anti-thieves, natural disasters and wars are continuous, there have been several times before, anti-thieves attacked Nanjing, but they were blocked, which shows that Nanjing is easy to defend and difficult, the defenders are fully able to resist the large-scale attack of anti-thieves, and there is no need to send 50,000 troops to garrison it.

The transfer of 50,000 elites from Beijing to Nanjing is obviously not as useful as transferring these 50,000 elites to Liaodong and Northwest.

They all know that today's Jingying is no longer the Jingying of the past, and the whole court does not understand what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means.

After the decree was sent out from the East Palace, Zhu Cihong changed into civilian clothes, took Qian Qianyi, and the three hundred brocade captains of the East Palace secretly went out of the city, disguised as a dart master, and rushed all the way to Nanjing as soon as he left the capital.
