Ming Dynasty: The Rampant Crown Prince

Jingying.

When Zhu Cihong and his entourage came to the Beijing camp, the soldiers of the three major battalions were training.

At this time, the sun was hanging high, although the weather was still a little cool, but those soldiers who were training were all shirtless and sweating profusely.

The school yard was full of people, and at a glance, there were as many as five or six thousand people, some lean and some of them bearish.

Under the sunlight, the soldiers' skin was flushed with a bronzed luster, the sweat on their bodies dripped down the ground like rain, and a stout man standing on the high platform, with an expressionless face and a serious expression, his fierce eyes swept over the roaring soldiers below, and his face finally showed a trace of dissatisfaction.

He let out an earth-shattering roar and said, "Sweat more when you train, and bleed less when you go to battle!"

"If you are tired, you will go home to drink milk, and if you are tired, you will go back to the disaster victims to beg for food, do you hear clearly!"

"Hear me clearly!"

Thousands of soldiers roared with all their might, and the sound exploded like thunder!

"I can't hear you!"

Even if it was so loud, the general of Gaotai Mountain was dissatisfied, and yelled again: "Are you all sheep, you speak softly, don't you have soft eggs, tell me louder!"

"It's not!"

The soldiers roared again!

"Aren't there any soft eggs!!"

"No!!"

The crowd roared again, heartbreaking!!

Seeing this, the general on the high platform nodded with satisfaction.

Zhu Cihong looked at the person on this high platform, it was Gao Yi, and this big voice was the only one he could shout so vigorously, which reminded Zhu Cihong of the military training in his previous life, his blood was boiling, and he couldn't wait to defend his family and the country immediately.

"Go and call Gao Yi over."

Zhu Cihong walked into the main hall, came to the main seat and sat down, took out the map again and looked at it, the first time to make tactical formulations, it is still necessary to be serious, although it is just an ambush arrangement, but it is also a battle.

But the premise is that this Jinyiwei information is true, and there is no leakage.

"Go and pass Lu Jian over."

Thinking about it, Zhu Cihong said again.

If this information, time and place are not right, or if the news leaks out and is known by the other party, and it is supposed to ambush others, but it becomes an ambush by others, it will be miserable.

"Subordinate Gao Yi see His Highness."

Gao Yi walked in wearing a suit of armor and sweating profusely.

"Aren't you going to watch the school training outside the city?"

There are now 100,000 soldiers in the Beijing camp, and the school field here alone can't fit it, so it must be practiced outside the city, Zhu Cihong is worried that without Gao Yi's personal teaching, those recruits will fish in troubled waters, and it will be not only his money that will be wasted, but also food.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the generals of the Beijing camp have been trained by their subordinates for a month, and they have made great progress, and the 80,000 recruits, they will train well, and the subordinates have also formulated a rule, whoever leads the recruits, when the time comes, will be demoted and punished."

Gao Yi knew what His Highness was thinking, so he explained, but his explanation was not clear enough, and he wanted to go into more detail, but His Highness stopped him.

"I know what you mean, group confrontation, competition."

Of course, Zhu Cihong understood what Gao Yi meant, but he was in a hurry now, and he knew that in a few months, the Qing soldiers would invade on a large scale, so at that time, if it was still the quality of a recruit, it would definitely be useless.

"A few months can turn those 80,000 recruits into elite soldiers?"

"Three or four months."

Gao Yi said with an oath.

"The cavalry must be highly mobile, the long-range shooting ability must be strong, and the infantry must be able to fight against the Mongolian cavalry.

Zhu Cihong knew that there was a formation, called a queue to shoot formation, but the premise was that there must be more flintlock guns, and when the time came, it would be enjoyable to get a musket team out.

"Baima Yicong is specially designed to deal with the Mongolian cavalry, and the training of the three thousand battalions of his subordinates is according to the standards of the Baima Yicong, and as for the five military battalions, the subordinates train with field intensity."

Of course, Gao Yi knew that the most important thing in a strong army was cavalry, and field combat ability was the most important.

"The subordinates have abandoned the combat mode of relying on chariots as the center of gravity, and the combat mode of jungle, hills, and field warfare is the center of gravity, so they will train their physical fitness first, and the Shenji battalion focuses on attacking and defending the city."

Zhu Cihong nodded, the field combat ability of the Ming army, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was beaten by the Manchu Eight Banners, and the Ming army at the end of the Ming Dynasty also bullied and bullied those anti-thieves composed of homeless people, once they encountered the Eight Banners in the wild, they would immediately be chased and beaten.

"It's not that there are 8,000 elite soldiers now."

Zhu Cihong picked up the map on the table and said, "There is an action, pull out these 8,000 elite soldiers and try it." As he

spoke, he threw the map in his hand to Gao Yi.

"Really?"

As soon as Gao Yi heard that there was action, he immediately took the map with a smile and began to study it.

Soon, Gao Yi spoke.

"It's a great valley for ambushes, and it's up to you to see who has the best terrain."

As soon as he looked at the map, he could see the key points in an instant, whoever occupies the commanding heights first will have an advantage, on the contrary, whoever is in the valley will be the turtle in the urn.

"Bring all the generals who led these 8,000 people, and I will tell you the details of this operation."

Zhu Cihong nodded, Gao Yi was right, Zhangjiakou is indeed a rugged mountain range, and there are many narrow valleys here, it is indeed very important to occupy the advantageous terrain, and another point is to test the field ability.

Of course, the premise is to meet the Qing soldiers.

"Zhao Wen, the general of the 3,000 battalions, see His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"Chen Peng, the general of the Fifth Military Battalion, see His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"Zhang Wenjing, the general of the Chenshen Machine Battalion, see His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Soon, the generals of the three major battalions all walked in, all with their backs and bears' waists, and their momentum was extraordinary, and they had been tortured by Gao Yi for more than a month, and they no longer had the previous decadence and laziness.

The three of them knelt on one knee and looked at Zhu Cihong with a respectful face, seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again, their hearts were still the same excited, no way, last time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince patrolled the Beijing camp and reformed the Beijing camp, and the words he said were really inspiring.

Now in the Beijing camp schoolyard, a stone tablet has been erected, which is engraved with the words spoken by His Royal Highness the Prince, marked as: Ming Army Declaration!

Every soldier, veteran, and new soldier will see the declaration of the Ming Army on the stone tablet when they come to the school for training, and everyone is very excited in their hearts, and they can't wait to go to the battlefield to defend the motherland immediately.

"Get up, come and look at the map."

Zhu Cihong raised his hand with a smile, and then said all the actions this time.

When everyone heard that there were traitors trading with the Manchus and delivering supplies to the Manchus, they were all angry.

"Therefore, this operation will not be too public, and there is no need to bring too many supplies, we will march quickly and set up an ambush in Zhangjiakou two days in advance."

"This time, it is likely that the Eight Banners will come to trade and escort the supplies back, but in order not to attract attention, I don't think too many people will come, but we should not take it lightly."

Gao Yi said, and began to formulate detailed tactics.

"Your Highness, Lu Jian is waiting outside to be summoned."

At this time, a eunuch appeared at the door.

"Pass him in."

Zhu Cihong said.

"Minister Lu Jian, see His Royal Highness the Prince."

As soon as Lu Jian came in, he felt more than twenty pairs of eyes staring at him, and there were four generals in armor on the prince's side, and he suddenly felt a little stressed.

"Shanxi's intelligence, there can't be a mistake, right?"

Zhu Cihong looked at Lu Jian and asked again, "Won't it leak the news?"

"The minister guarantees that the Jinyi guards who are monitoring in Shanxi are all personally selected by Lord Li, and all of them are capable and loyal!"

When Lu Jian heard these two questions, he immediately knew the reason why His Highness was looking for him, and immediately swore an oath.

"Also, if you can't even get this information and leak the rumors, this brocade guard yamen should also be abolished."

Zhu Cihong put away the map and said, "Tonight, you go back and order five hundred brocade guards to wait, and go to Shanxi with the palace."

"Yes."

A drop of cold sweat fell from Lu Jian's forehead, and he hurriedly retreated.

"Let the 8,000 elite soldiers be fully equipped and rush to Zhangjiakou, Shanxi Province overnight today."

After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Wenjing again and said, "Take the musket team of 100 people with you."

"Command!"

Everyone had a look of excitement on their faces, after training for so long, they were finally able to do it with real guns.

"Zhang Huaibin, you ask people to go to the military battle bureau and let them make the armor and soft armor of the palace before the afternoon."

Zhu Cihong said again, a group of people rushed to make it, and it was definitely done.
