Chapter 1554
The North is a population center, and even after the Tatar ravages several times, the population is still extremely high.
Tatar entered the customs for the first four times, and the number of commoners captured increased one by one.
But there is only one government in Shuntian, the capital of the capital, who has experienced so many wars, and now also has seven million people. Almost equivalent to the total population of the entire Henan.
Just by looking at the millions of commoners in Kaifeng, you can know how many people the capital as the political center should have.
Conscription is not difficult.
As long as there is money and food, some people are willing to join the army.
In the past three months, only a few prefectures in the Gyeonggi region have recruited 80,000 recruits one after another. The first batch of initial training completed, there were 36,000 people.
36,000 recruits and three captains. After the initial training is completed, the newly promoted captains will complete the final reorganization of the army and the ordnance equipment. Then the strength of the three captains was divided into three parts. One captain was assigned to the account of Zhu Bingkun in the War Zone in Liaodong, and the other was assigned to the account of Zheng Jiu in the Northwest War Zone. The last captain belongs to Qian Yue and is responsible for guarding the pass along the Great Wall from Miyun to Xuanfu in the north of the capital. The east is connected to Xifengkou in the Northeast War Zone, and the west is connected to Xuanfu.
This division is also temporary.
The responsibility of guarding the capital should belong to the Guard Army. Ying Yi plans to use the Guards Department as the foundation and expand it to 20,000 in the first phase, called the Guard Army, under the leadership of King Yisheng.
But expanding the Guard army is not an easy task. As a strong army guarding the capital, the elites must be selected from the various armies. rather than recruits.
In other words, this Guard army cannot be established for the time being.
At least until after the war in the north is over, the recruits become veterans, and then the selection will be made. It's not that there are no veterans in the various ministries, but for now, the external war is more important than defending the capital - or the idea of Ying Yi until now, defending the enemy outside the country.
Therefore, the imperial guard of the capital is currently in the hands of Qian Yue, not Wang Yisheng.
Zhu Bingkun, who received the text of the Ministry of War, began to plan to recover the fortresses in Guanning.
"Report, Governor, there are people who claim to be close followers of Wu Sangui to beg to see you!"
Suddenly, the whole room fell silent, and after a while someone said: "Wu Sangui seems to be unable to sit still. ."
It was Bai Guangen.
Zhu Bingkun nodded slightly, saying to the soldiers: "Bring people."
then said: "The Ming Ting has been destroyed, Wu Sangui is rootlessweed. Trapped in Ningyuan, There is no source of military salaries, and it is a dilemma. It is not easy to last for three months."
He added: "I heard that his uncle Zu Dashou became a traitor, and I thought he would vote for Tatar, didn't Expect sent people at this time. Everyone, what are your thoughts?"
Ma Ke said: "Captain, I thought it was inevitable. Wu Sangui won't come down in March, so he has to wait until the time limit comes. , I'm afraid not willingly."
All the generals nodded.
Zhu Bingkun said with a smile: "Of course I know that he is unwilling. He is used to being a warlord, enjoying the pleasure of reaching out to the Ming court when he is short of money, and when he is short of food, how can he reach out to the Ming court? Ken willingly handed over his troops and horses? But I don't know that the emperor doesn't take him seriously at all, and it's ridiculous to think that his 20,000 or 30,000 people are important."
Bai Guangen and Ma Ke felt the deepest, Indeed, what is the difference between the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses like weak chickens and ants in front of King Xia's strong army?
"If he comes to come down, he will do nothing. If he doesn't come down, it will only be the military exploits of the soldiers."
Zhu Bingkun chuckled lightly.
Zhu Bingkun's submandibular beards have begun to see scale in these days.
then said: "He sent people here at this time, it may not be a surrender, maybe he has other ideas. After seeing the people, he will come to the district."
So soon, the soldiers brought one person.
It was the cronies sent by Wu Sangui.
The man entered the hall, bowed first, and said, "The villain has come to see him at the order of Ping Xibo."
Zhu Bingkun voted lightly, and then called the head : "The Ming court has been destroyed, where did Ping Xibo come from?"
then said: "Wu Sangui taught you to come, what do you want to tell the Governor?"
The man did not Dare to refute, he took out a letter from his arms and presented it with both hands: "There is a letter written by General Wu, I hope to see it." Come and hand it to Zhu Bingkun.
Zhu Bingkun had ten lines in one eye, and after reading it, he couldn't help saying with a smile: "Wu Sangui is also a person who knows current affairs."
Said: "Wu Sangui said that the general trend of the Eastern captives was over, and he was willing to surrender to the King of Xia. However, if there was no success, he would be ashamed to see him. The Eastern captives sent troops to attack, and he wanted to pretend to surrender. ."
Speaking of this, Zhu Bingkun said to Wu Sangui: "You go down and wait for a while. The Governor will discuss with the generals and schools for a while before making a decision."
Wu Sangui's close friend cup one fist I bowed in the other hand and was led out by the soldiers.
Zhu Bingkun said: "Wu Sangui's mind was already obvious at a glance. He didn't come to surrender in March, but he was unwilling to give up the power of soldiers and horses in his hands. But he saw that Donglu merely This , so he never surrendered to the Eastern captives. So he hesitated. This time the Eastern captives came to attack, giving him an opportunity. If he wants to make merit first, then surrender. In this way, the King of Xia will not treat him badly."
Bai Guangen, etc. are all nodded.
But Bai Guangen said: "The chances of what the governor said are very high. However, whether Wu Sangui really surrendered, he must be checked. He can pretend to surrender to Tatar, or to surrender to your lord."
Zhu Bingkun laughed heartily: "What the General Bai said is not unreasonable. But why should there be any fear? No matter what tricks he has, I will crush him, what can he do?"
Suddenly, the room was full laughing out loud.
Yes, no matter what conspiracy he may have, I am invincible by self-strengthening, just crush it directly.
Zhu Bingkun said: "Tatar also responded quickly. It was only three months before the bomb suppressed the aftermath of the annihilation of the Abathai army, and he sent troops to attack again. It seems that Tatar can defeat repeatedly. Ming Ting, this step is not a fluke."
He said resolutely: "His intention to send troops is to fight back when King Xia's foothold is not stable. But what about Tatar? Do you know how powerful your Majesty is?!"
As he said, he sneered again and again: "Originally, Your Majesty didn't intend to settle with Tatar for the time being, but now he has brought it to your door."
plainly said : "Someone!"
A soldier entered.
"Send this letter to the capital as quickly as possible, and present it to your Majesty."
"Here!"
Send the letter, Zhu Bingkun said: "Tatar Wu Sangui must not lie about the attack. However, our department did not notice it, and it is really backward in the layout of the front. All the departments will spread it out immediately, and I want to know about Tatar's movements within two days."
The crowd stood up simultaneously, cup one fist in the other hand: "Here!"
Zhu Bingkun nodded: "After going down, one is preparing to welcome the new recruits. The other is preparing for the war. This time, We must let Tatar go but never returned!"
"I am afraid that there are too few Jingguan under the gate, and it is time to add a few more."
