The training of navy soldiers was very hard, and the rectification movement was also very bloody. Among them, the pirates brought back by Zheng Zhilong and Yan Siqi especially made many serious mistakes. After a thorough investigation began, those who were arrested were arrested, and those who were released were released.

Some were even shot on the spot.

The bloody killings lasted for a whole week, but the effect was very effective. The soldiers in the entire naval fleet had a new atmosphere, as if they were different people. After that, the city defense armies from various places along the coast successively sent over the recruited recruits.

.

Throughout the Great Tomorrow, in addition to the reading wave set off by the Imperial Daily, there is also a wave of military recruitment. Countless people have flocked to the military departments of various counties, wanting to enlist in the army. Military pay, benefits, honor, status, future, etc.

These are the reasons why countless young people want to join the army.

Under such circumstances, it was not difficult for the naval fleet to recruit 100,000 people. It lasted about a month, and the coastal cities sent 100,000 good people to Tianjin. The influx of 100,000 people

, what it brings is a burst of continuous prosperity.

Countless grains, clothing, meat, grains and oils, etc., were consumed greatly. Every day, Tianjin Port was filled with countless ships. Fortunately, Zhu Youxiao's family was rich and he could afford it.

He stayed in Tianjin for a long time, from November to December, and did not return to the capital until the eve of the government holiday. If he hadn't seen that the training of naval soldiers was on track, he might have stayed longer.

Woolen cloth.

As for the hussar general Li Tu, he did not follow back, but stayed in Tianjin to serve as the general person in charge of the recruit training and rectification movement, and will continue to promote it. Zhu Youxiao estimates that this time will be about a year

, without laying a good ideological foundation for the navy, he would not worry about expanding its scale.

Anyway, the 20,000 cavalry in the northeast are enough, and with Xiong Tingbi as well, the city defense army has been established long ago, and its combat effectiveness is quite good, so there will be no big problems.

"Baozhu, I'm back." After arriving at the palace, Zhu Youxiao rushed to the harem to visit Zhang Yan and his daughter.

In the Kunning Palace, Zhang Yan was pushing a cradle, humming incomprehensible children's songs, and coaxing her daughter to sleep. When she saw the emperor coming back, she stood up happily and went to greet him, "Your Majesty is back.

Come on, change your clothes quickly, be careful of the evil spirits from the army coming to your daughter."

"Haha, Baozhu is right, I was careless." Zhu Youxiao laughed and immediately went down to take a bath and change clothes, and came back again when he was completely washed away from the dust and completely refreshed.

Soon, he came to the cradle, leaned over and looked inside. Inside, a chubby and tender little ball of flesh was lying. His eyes were wide open, and his eyes were bright and white. He looked particularly pure. Zhu You

Everyone in school can see their own reflection in this little man's eyes.

The little man didn't know whether he was not afraid of strangers or he felt that the big face in front of him had a special relationship with him. He didn't feel scared at all. He grinned at Zhu Youxiao and stretched out his chubby little hand towards Zhu Youxiao.

The school came over.

"Haha, my baby girl is so cute." Zhu Youxiao was made to laugh heartily by her actions, and he took the initiative to bring his face closer and let her touch it.

"Baozhu, look at how cute our daughter is. She even knows how to say hello to me." Zhu Youxiao smiled at Zhang Yan who was waiting next to her.

"That's because His Majesty is extremely talented, and the daughter he gave birth to has been smart since childhood." Zhang Yan was filled with joy when she saw that the emperor loved his daughter so much, and her heart was filled with joy.

In this palace, the most important thing is the emperor's favor. Whether it is a queen, a concubine, a princess or a prince, it is all the same. Whichever the emperor likes will have a higher status. Therefore, seeing the emperor's love for

How could Zhang Yan not be happy that her daughter loved teasing her so much?

Just when Zhu Youxiao was having a good time and enjoying the family happiness, Liu Ruoyu suddenly came to report, "Your Majesty, the governor wants to see you."

"Grand Governor?" Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment and immediately said, "Send him to come in."

Sun Chengzong asked for an audience at this time, so something big must have happened. Sure enough, as soon as he came in, he handed over a military report saying, "Your Majesty, the war between the Jurchens and Transkalkha has broken out."

"Great." Zhu Youxiao was overjoyed and immediately read the military report carefully. The reason for the outbreak of the war was very simple. Some people within the Jurchens were dissatisfied with Huang Taiji's rule. However, Huang Taiji was so skillful that these people had no chance to resist. However,

Zhang Shize, who had been waiting for opportunities to provoke conflicts between the two tribes, detected this loophole and deliberately created opportunities to use the caravans walking on the grassland to allow these rebels to get in touch with the tribes in Outer Khalkha.

These rebels are none other than the Taijitou people from Horqin. They lost their tribes and their wealth. They also had to follow Huang Taiji to travel across mountains and rivers to foreign lands. How could they be willing to do this?

.

Now, when we arrive in Mobei Mongolia, although this is not our hometown, it is still not a problem to unite with each other to deal with Huang Taiji.

How could the tribes that had lived on the grasslands for generations have kind people? They had long been dissatisfied with the Huang Taiji tribe coming over and occupying part of their pastures. It was only because they couldn't figure out the details of this migrating tribe for a while that they

Nothing was done.

But now, the other party's insiders took the initiative to contact them and informed them of all the true and false details. Several great Khans of Outer Khalkha, Chechen Khan, etc. were immediately overjoyed and prepared to take action after the New Year.

Of course, Huang Taiji was not a vegetarian. Although he did not discover these secret activities, he still had good control over the internal affairs. These people did not have any real power. Then, after Zhang Shize deliberately leaked it, he launched an attack in advance.

Directly launch the purge of these resisters.

Huang Taiji was very smart. He chose this purge in winter, when there was heavy wind and snow on the grassland, and outside the tent, the white god of death was raging. Even if a few people escaped, they would be dealt with by nature.

However, he thought well, but in the end, several people successfully ran away, and they ran away with supplies. Although these people had no rights, they were not without a crowd. With their deep accumulation over the years, how could Huang Taiji possibly

Everything can be stripped clean.

So a chase took place, but this time because Huang Taiji was unfamiliar with the terrain, he let Taiji run away and ran to Chechen Khan's tribe.

So the war broke out. Of course, due to the weather, the scale of the outbreak was not very large. It was just a battle of one or two thousand people. However, Chechen Khan discovered that the Jurchens had only 300,000 followers.

, but there are no warriors to protect them. Such a tribe is just a huge piece of fat on the grassland.

However, due to the raging wind and snow, the war that was destined to break out was postponed. Chechen Khan decided to wait until spring to launch the war.

This gave Huang Taiji time to ask for help, and the target of his request was naturally Zhang Shize who was fighting in Hulunbuir. Although he guessed that the Ming Dynasty had played some bad role in this, he was unfamiliar with the place and was poisonous.

You can only drink wine first to quench your thirst.

For such an important matter, Zhang Shize did not dare to make his own decision, so he immediately reported to the capital, hoping that the governor and the emperor would make a decision.

As it happened, this military report arrived at the General Staff Headquarters of the Governor's Mansion today, and it happened to be seen by Sun Chengzong. Knowing that the emperor was back today, he hurried over to report without caring about what His Majesty was doing at the moment.

After roughly understanding the whole story, Zhu Youxiao closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then immediately decided, "Let Zhang Shize support some supplies to them, including food, armor, weapons, etc., but not too much at one time. Take your time and follow up."

The support should be controlled based on the opponent's performance. As for him, he can just sit back and watch the changes and observe secretly. When the Outer Khalkha tribes have lost a large number of warriors, he will move out, defeat the opponent, and plunder the wealth and land. "

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will pass the decision back to Zhang Shize." Sun Chengzong nodded, immediately left the palace, returned to Wuying Palace, drafted an order, stamped it with a big seal, and ordered the messengers to set off immediately for Hulunbuir.

About a week later, Zhang Shize, who was sitting on the prairie, received the letter and military order from the capital. After carefully checking the authenticity, he opened it and took a look.

After reading it, he closed his eyes and meditated, carefully comprehending the meaning. He knew the entire Jurchen westward movement, which later became known as the Great Wall Project.

The emperor's intention was to use the Jurchens as the vanguard, sweep across the grassland, and let them clear the way, while the Ming army took advantage of the situation behind. To achieve this, the Jurchens must be well-armed so that they have a relatively strong combat effectiveness and can defeat the Mongolian tribes.

But they cannot be made too powerful, otherwise they will be difficult to control and cannot be allowed to execute according to Ming's ideas.

The degree of this is very important. When Zhu Youxiao issued the order, he did not specify a specific number. It was entirely up to Zhang Shize, who was on the front line, to control it. The difficulty is evident.

However, Zhang Shize did not find it difficult for such a task, but after thinking about it for a while, Bai Bai came up with the answer.

"Come here, call the equipment director." He shouted to the orderly. Soon, the equipment director of the Knight Cavalry Army came over.

Seeing the people coming, Zhang Shize didn't waste any time and directly ordered, "Pick out a thousand sets of old iron armor, three thousand steel knives, and ten thousand loads of grain from the warehouse and send them to Huang Taiji."

"Yes." The Minister of Equipment was stunned and immediately responded. As a senior military officer, he also knew the mission of the Knights Cavalry.

Subsequently, Zhang Shize issued a series of orders, canceling vacations from now on, and everyone entered the stage of combat preparation. He even contacted the local Dongchang fans and asked them to actively cooperate and deliver any news on the Mobei grassland in real time.

.

The Cavalry's own scouts were also everywhere, conducting reconnaissance day and night without stopping.

"It's up to you. I hope the fight is brutal enough. I still need you to get my British Dukedom back." Zhang Shize murmured to himself as he looked at the army that was suddenly busy and nervous.
