Chapter 49 Zheng Zhilong

Thanks to Dr. Mengbaobao for the 1,000 coin reward.

"Wang Banban, after you study this training manual carefully, make copies in the listening room and prepare them for distribution to the inner palace students selected by the Royal Horse Inspector. You must fully understand the central idea."

"I understand!"

The charm of language is infinite, especially words with half truths and half lies.

"Let Li Ruolian come over again, and I will prepare a reward for Zheng Zhilong. I will summon Zheng Zhilong's son Zheng Sen to return to Beijing to report on his work, provide learning opportunities, and receive the title."

"Ah? Zheng Zhilong is far away in Fujian. Does he want his son to come over? And I think he may think that the emperor wants to use his son as a threat."

"The shop owner said that Zheng Zhilong values ​​​​his son very much. With Zheng Zhilong's expectations for his son, he will only be very happy if his son can enter the palace and become a saint. But that's what you reminded him."

After listening to Wang Chengen's words, Chongzhen also thought about it. At this point in time, Zheng Zhilong is carefree in the south. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away.

How to arrange Zheng Zhilong is a big problem. The military attaches who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty basically ended well. Huang Taiji and Fulin were also regarded as polite corporals for talents, so Zheng Zhilong gave up Nanming and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

But this does not mean that Zheng Zhilong cannot use it. If Zheng Zhilong uses it well, it is also a sharp sword, especially after knowing his strength.

"I will ask Jin Yiwei to bring a long-distance communicator, establish contact with Zheng Zhilong, and personally announce the decree to him, and inform Li Ruolian to come over."

"I understand, I'll go here."

Wang Chengen carried the book and went to the monitoring room. At the same time, he ordered the communications supervisor to summon Li Ruolian into the palace.

"Boss, the intercom in the palace just sent news that His Majesty announced your entry into the palace."

"I know, now that there is a walkie-talkie here, His Majesty doesn't have time to respond when delivering the message. I want to ask what's going on but I don't know."

After listening to the soldier's words, Li Ruolian said while packing his clothes that the walkie-talkie could deliver the news quickly, but without a middleman, they didn't even have the chance to prepare in advance.

After getting dressed, Li Ruolian rushed to Qianqing Palace and met Chongzhen.

"Your Majesty, I am late, please forgive me."

"My dear, there is no need to be polite. I sent you here because I have something to give you.

The strength of Zheng Zhilong's water bandits in the south has increased and they can be organized into a navy to fight overseas for the Ming Dynasty. I am planning to send people to the south to establish contact with Zheng Zhilong.

You will select reliable personnel from the Jinyi Guards, go to Nanjing, and contact Zheng Zhilong's uncle, Zheng Hongda, the commander of the Nanjing Jinyi Guards. He will have a way to take you to Fujian as quickly as possible.

I have an instrument that can send messages instantly over a thousand miles, so they can learn to assemble and use it, and take it safely to Fujian and hand it over to Zheng Zhilong."

"I understand, Your Majesty, if there is a thousand-mile messenger, I suggest that a governor can be sent to patrol along the canal and respond to the news in real time. This way, the information from the south can be sent back to the capital."

Li Ruolian clasped his fists and said that as for the so-called thousand-mile transmitter, he thought it should be the same thing as a walkie-talkie, so he thought that if he sent a governor, it would be more useful.

"We can follow up as soon as the arrangements are made. It's not good to alert the enemy now. You just need to get them to Fujian as quickly as possible."

The long-wave radio station could have been sent directly to the south, but based on recent use, Chongzhen found that Zheng Zhilong's territory was very unstable and could not be sent.

So he could only ask people to split the radio into two hand-cranked generators, four batteries, two sets of decoders, two sets of the radio itself, and two sets of integrated text recognition and conversion microcomputers and touch screen monitors.

Each part weighs less than ten kilograms, and the heaviest transistor radio itself only weighs thirty kilograms. A centurion can carry it with them and easily protect it and send it to the south.

After arranging these, Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief and continued to read page by page of the memorial passed by Gao Yushun.

Bianjiao camp, Cao Bianjiao hurried over overnight.

"General, why are you back? What's different about the imperial guards in the capital?"

"Yes, General, do you want us to go back again? My baby is about to be born, and my land is about to be overrun. My mother-in-law is still waiting for me."

"General, have you seen His Majesty? Did Your Majesty say you would be promoted?"

As soon as he got off his horse, a group of adjutants gathered around him. When Cao Bianjiao came over the day before yesterday, he told everyone that he would stay in the capital. At that time, these people were still happy. After all, they could stay by the emperor's side, and food and salary would be indispensable.

After these two days, several people were tired of it and began to miss home.

"Uh-huh, be quiet, be quiet."

After everyone calmed down, Cao Bianjiao began to announce the news.

"Yesterday I was at His Majesty's place, and His Majesty told me new news. The capital is going to form a new army, and the treatment of this new army will be very good.

Not only do they not have to work in the fields, ordinary sergeants can also receive two taels of silver, two pounds of salt, and half a pound of sugar every month. Not only can they save money, but their families will not go hungry."

"How can it be?"

"General, can our people join? Your Majesty summoned us to reorganize the Yutian Camp?"

Everyone was already excited when they heard about the treatment of ordinary soldiers. Ordinary soldiers were treated so well, let alone the soldiers who led the army.

"Your Majesty said that everyone is treated equally. Those who join the new army must be good soldiers in the army and cannot be over thirty-five years old. Our Yutian Camp only has a quota of 3,000 people.

The generals are deployed according to the standards of the three thousand households, so only three of you can go to the new army. The remaining people must be integrated into the Yutian Camp and redistributed manpower."

"Three thousand people? General, they must all be our thousand households! Who doesn't know that our guardsmen are the best at fighting?"

"Ah, He Erhu, you are such a stick, who in Yutian camp doesn't know that all your guards are veterans? Didn't you hear what the general said? Thirty-five years old, thirty-five years old."

"Bah, who among those who can survive is not a veteran?"

"Let's have a fight! You can try to see if our defense force can make you lie down."

There are seven thousand households in total, and everyone does not want to leave behind their subordinates, and they all show their strong martial virtue to Cao Bianjiao.

"stop!"

"Your Majesty said, thirty-five years old means thirty-five years old. However, if the veterans have medical experience, are good at cooking, or have unique skills inherited from their families, you can report them to me and I can release two hundred veterans.

Quota.

As for you guys, just choose among yourself. I can only say that the selection in the new army will be very cruel. If you don’t have the ability, don’t go and make yourself visible."

Cao Bianjiao looked at the few people and had a hard time making a choice. Being able to be a member of a thousand households in Yutian Camp, naturally they were all his confidants. It was hard for him to favor anyone. Besides, he was also leading the Yutian Camp later, so it was even harder to give benefits to anyone.

Already.

Different from Cao Bianjiao, the selection of Jinyiwei and Jingying was much simpler. Sun Chuanting, Huang Degong, and Wang Jiayan all selected according to their own lists.

During this time, several generals were reorganizing the Beijing camp, and suddenly it was announced that a new army would be formed, and they would be led separately. Everyone in the court and the army breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially after learning that the new army's food and salary will be paid directly from Chongzhen like a royal guard. People who are corrupt are even less willing to go. How about staying in the Beijing camp? Although there is less food now, but at least it can still be eaten.
