According to Zhu Cixuan's original intention, the more the battle is, the more we will appear on the battlefield, because the identity of the crown prince itself can effectively boost morale. Moreover, when he reaches the commander level, it is not necessary to suck the sores for the soldiers like Wu Qi, but the soldiers must always let the soldiers see themselves. Seeing that the commander is indeed fighting with him in the front, rather than hiding behind and spending time.

Over time, it will influence the army.

The Battle of Tianjin was a gambling by Zhu Ciyang. If we look at the standards of small gambling, the battle should be considered as a small gambling or above, and the big gambling was not enough. If we win, the Qing army will accelerate its retreat to the outside world, and may even give up Beijing voluntarily; if we lose, the Ming army can only retreat to the Zhencang defense line, and the Guangfu District will fall again. The damage to the vitality caused by this battle may lead to the unstable Zhencang defense line.

Under such circumstances, something happened in the south! The opportunity was indeed very well grasped.

Zhu Cilang cannot rule out the possibility of accidental collision, but if someone makes arrangements, then if this person is either involved with the Qing court, he or she has set up his eyes and ears in the Qing court, and his status is no less than that of Song Hongye.

In order to fight the Tianjin battle, three inspectors from the inspection departments of each county in eastern Shandong were drawn, five inspectors from the inspection departments of western Shandong and Henan recruited strong men, assigned hard labor, and formed a defender of 20,000 people. Chen Yongfu served as the commander of this division, responsible for ensuring the safety of the food route from Cangzhou to Tianjin.

In addition to this army, the new battalions in various places gathered as fast as possible and reorganized into a preparatory division, with Min Zhanlian as the division commander, and a total of 30,000 people headed to the Zhencang front line to fill the gap between the Second Division and the First Division.

After the Battle of Tanghe, the Mongolian general Daisendari and other tribe leaders had to choose between being annihilated and surrendered. This choice was not difficult, so the First Division captured war horses, nearly 4,000 pack horses.

These Mongolian horses are the most popular horse breeds in the army, but the intensive charge of the cavalry battalion has high requirements for horse training and cannot form combat effectiveness for a while. Only a dozen unincited horses were selected to go back as stallions.

Zhu Cilang waved his pen and left three hundred horses for Xiao Mo to form the cavalry department of the division, and sent three hundred horses to Xiao Donglou. The remaining horses and the Mongolians who were sincerely surrendered were all sent to Xiao Tugeng's firearm.

Xiao Tugeng was so dizzy that he was beaten by the meat buns that fell from the world. He was so happy that he couldn't find North!

The most lacking thing in the firearm camp is animal power.

Not only does it require a lot of animal power to transport cannons, even humans need animal power to transport them.

When the soldiers were selected, the Firearms Battalion did not make any requirements for running speed and endurance, and gave priority to new recruits with firm mind and memory. Moreover, when all battalions proposed higher physical fitness standards in this section, the Firearms Battalion still met the old standards of the East Palace, with the focus on training the loading speed, aiming skills and other aspects of firearms.

Therefore, once the firearm battalion is in concert with other battalions, the speed of the troops is really... unpleasant.

"Give us so many horses just to make us run! Starting today, we will learn riding while marching! All those who can ride horses are included in the cavalry and gun bureau!" Xiao Tugeng made up his mind.

Under the guidance of Mongolian herders, it is not too difficult to learn to ride a horse. It is mainly to be able to easily maintain coordination with the horse and run long distances. This depends on talent and insight. The Mongolians got on the horse at the age of three or four. In their opinion, it is no different from breathing and sleeping, so naturally they can't give a guide.

Even so, the horse-powered firearm camp finally got rid of the turtle's hat and rushed to Tianjin for help.

Zhu Cixuan also started the "I am the king's army to fight against the Tartars" activity in various villages. During the activity, every student must use his own strength to contribute his efforts to the soldiers on the front line. The most common one is to work for the military family. The second is to donate money and materials. If it is not good, he can write some gratitude to the soldiers on the front line... The main purpose is to combine the rear and the front line, so that the people and soldiers know that they are one.

"Students who performed outstandingly in the event were given a big red scarf, a horn, and Xu Peidao, named 'Young Pioneer'. The village physical education teacher serves as the captain, the natural teacher serves as the chief of staff, and the liberal arts teacher serves as the instructor. This team trains for half an hour every morning. The team members over four feet tall are ordered to learn the firearm." Zhu Cixuan still remembers the first time he wore the red scarf in his previous life, but he really can't understand how it is just a decoration, and how it is different from other students.

Now that he has the authority, no one will tell the Scouts any more. Of course, he can start from the baby. Two or three years later, these Young Pioneers will be excellent soldiers with just a little training.

Everything is under control, except in the south.

It was Zuo Liangyu's sudden action that made Zhu Cixuan's plan to rush to Tianjin come to an abrupt end.

The bigger problem is that Zhu Cilang can no longer squeeze out any force to curb Zuo Liangyu.

Unless the military town under the command of the Governor of Fengyang Ma Shiying is used.

Gao Jie died and Liu Zeqing fled alone. Now he doesn't know who he is entrusted to. Liu Liangzuo is in Shouzhou and Huang Degong is in Luzhou. These two towns can be used, but they don't know whether they will obey the imperial sect. What Zhu Cixuan hates the most now are the rumors that he imprisons the emperor. It is obviously very simple but it is so complicated.

Moreover, this matter cannot be explained. Even His Majesty the Emperor personally came out to refute the rumors, and it was said that the crown prince used the emperor to command the world.

——If it really doesn’t work, just Huang Degong.

Zhu Cilang had a choice in his heart. Huang Degong was a rough man. When he was a child, he stole the wine brewed by his mother and was scolded by his mother. Later, when he started war in Liaodong, he held a knife in the army and killed two heads, received a reward of fifty taels of silver. He went home and said to his mother, "This is what you pay for your wine." Although it is also considered filial piety, speaking to his mother like this is "unfilial" in the eyes of scholars, and he is just a matter of calculating with his mother.

Because he is used to using iron whips, he charges in front of every battle, and the army calls him "Huang Chuangzi".

This man was plotted by Gao Jie in the original historical time and space. All three hundred cavalry around him were killed, and he almost died. Therefore, he submitted a letter to the court to fight Gao Jie to the death. Later, Shi Kefa persuaded him several times before he persuaded him. From this, it can be seen that Huang Degong was able to endure humiliation and sacrifice himself for the sake of the overall situation of the world.

It can be said that among the four towns, only Huang Degong is considered a loyal and righteous general.

"Now Huang Degong is stationed in Luzhou and Tongcheng, so he can order him to go straight to Jiujiang and not allow the Zuo Army to advance east." Zhu Cixuan also trusted Huang Degong's combat effectiveness. In the original historical script, the Zuo Army was defeated by Huang Degong.

You Shiwei and others also believed that such an arrangement was quite feasible. Although Huang Degong's troops were not as good as Zuo Zhen, the disadvantage of the number of people could be compensated by the city defense for one attack and one defense. Take a step back ten thousand steps. As long as Huang Degong resists step by step and drags down Zuo Liangyu, it doesn't matter even if he loses Nanjing.

What Zhu Cilang is really worried about is the loss of Xuzhou.

Xuzhou has abundant hydraulic power to utilize, and it is a coal-iron and iron production site, transportation hub, and local major town... Now it is Zhu Cixuan's metallurgy and cannon casting center. If Xuzhou loses, the entire war capability will be reduced a lot.

Fortunately, at most two months, the Left Army could not attack Xuzhou in just two months, and the main force of the East Palace could go south to deal with them.

"I will now order the Military Order to draft an order and convey it to the Ministry of War." You Shiwei said.

There are now two types of "official and soldiers" in the Ming Dynasty, one is to obey the military orders of the military command, and the other is to obey the Wenyi of the Ministry of War. The former is naturally the direct line of the Eastern Palace, and the latter is a veteran of the Ming Dynasty.

"After the communication, the General Staff Department will also set up a front line and Cangzhou will set up a headquarters." Zhu Cilang said: "I will leave after I have a look here."

You Shiwei took the order out.

Emperor Chongzhen was also very concerned about the accident that happened in Jiangnan, even surpassing the Tianjin Battle in the north. His focus was on Nanjing. Since Hongwu established his capital, Nanjing has always been one of the capitals of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, Emperor Taizu Gao’s tomb is still in Nanjing. If he is hit by chaos, wouldn’t his descendants be very unfilial!

Although Chongzhen had made plans to let the crown prince reign over the country and he would not abdicate or take charge of politics, if Nanjing was lost again, he would have lost the emperor of the capital twice.

Zhu Cilang was summoned by Chongzhen every day to ask about the Zuo Army's actions, and the court's countermeasures were particularly patient. However, he also took this opportunity to explain to his two younger brothers what military and national affairs were. King Ding and King Yong also learned to look at the map through this matter.

"Your Highness, someone outside claims to be the envoy of the Governor Yuan Jixian, and requests an interview." On November 18, 18, the 18th year of Chongzhen, the guards reported that someone was invited to see him early in the morning.

When Zhu Cilang saw that it was Yuan Jixian's envoy. Of course, it was related to Zuo Liangyu's affairs, so he immediately announced his views. Unexpectedly, the Taoist who came in was a Taoist wearing a big red Taoist robe. When the Taoist saw Zhu Cilang, he bowed openly and told his family: "The little Taoist Fu Zhenshan was entrusted by Yuan Governor. He specially reported to His Highness the affairs in the south."

Zhu Cixuan immediately became more curious about Fu Shan than Zuo Liangyu and asked, "Are you Fu Shan in Shanxi?"

"It's the path." Fu Shan bowed respectfully.

Zhu Cixuan walked off the throne, asked Fu Shan to take a seat, and had a discussion with him: "I thought Mr. Shanxi Yin Xiu, how could he come from the south?"

"Xiaodao did practice in Shanxi before, and he got the letter from Governor Yuan to ask for help. In addition, the master agreed to go to Jiangxi to buy some alchemy vessels. After that, he stayed in Governor Yuan's shogunate, which was a praising painting." Fu Shan said it without any haste, but he was wondering why a nine-level figure like the crown prince would pay attention to him.

At this time, Fu Shan's medical skills were not yet perfect, and he did not have the title of a medical saint; he had just begun to learn swordsmanship, and such a small dust technique was nothing more than a way to defend himself in the world, and it was even more impossible to reach the heavenly listening; as for calligraphy and painting, although he was slightly famous at this time, he could not show his glory among a large number of calligraphers and painters in the Ming Dynasty, and he had to wait for future generations to admire it before he could reach the divine platform.

Therefore, the real thing about Fu Shan becoming famous was nothing more than arguing for Yuan Jixian. Since then, Fu Shan was indifferent to fame and fame and never participated in the imperial examinations until he joined Li Jiantai's shogunate in the 16th year of Chongzhen, hoping to help the Grand Secretary pacify Shanxi from the bandits.

Fu Shan thought about it and found that these two things were the only thing that the Crown Prince remembered him. The former had to go through Wu Qi, because Wu Qi was the governor of Shanxi at that time and worked very hard to rescue Yuan Jixian. The latter was because the Crown Prince was in Shanxi at that time and had heard his name from his classmates at the academy.

Who would have thought that he would be portrayed by future generations as an omnipotent god!
