Seeing the expectant look on Chongzhen's face, Chang Yu was a little confused: "I have no plan to retreat from the enemy."
No?
Chongzhen had a look of astonishment on his face: "Previously you had the opportunity to go to Taiyuan to gather information and attack and defend well, and finally defeated the intruders, but now you have nothing to do against Qing Gou?"
"Your Majesty, I forgive you. I just heard that I was going to the north. I really didn't think of a way to deal with it for a while. However, I am good at adapting to circumstances. I will see it when I get to the ground and I may have a good idea." Chang Yu was very honest.
But Chongzhen couldn't help laughing: "The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty said that you are treacherous and cunning. You say you are good at adapting to changes. I can trust you because of your intelligence. But I don't believe you if you say you are not prepared at all. You have already been to Taiyuan before." Your foresight is exposed!"
ah? Chang Yu was really confused now. Why was he so far-sighted and exposed?
Seeing that his expression didn't seem to be fake, Chongzhen was also a little unpredictable: "Before leaving the capital, you trained the palace officials, selected hundreds of strong people and brought them to Taiyuan, and they also made a name for themselves. What is the name of the palace?" Battalion, right? There are also the escorts you selected, the Fujun Guards and the Tengxiang Guards, who are the most powerful among the personal guards. You dare to say that this was not your pre-emptive preparation, but a deliberate act."
Hearing this, Chang Yu smiled bitterly and quickly bowed to explain: "Your Majesty, I trained the internal officials to reserve talents for the boxing match. That was before I left the capital. I don't have the ability to predict. Later, because I left the capital, the journey was difficult and dangerous, so I paid for it. The matter is of great importance, and I dare not be careless. The internal officials are the most trustworthy people in the royal family, so I took him out. As for what happened next, it was completely a coincidence and the current situation."
Chongzhen was doubtful and stared at Chang Yu for a while, then nodded slightly, and then asked pointedly: "Are the internal officials really the most loyal to the royal family? Are they the most trustworthy?"
"For those civil servants and generals, the change of ownership is just a change of person, but for the internal officials, it is a change of master and support. Without the master, he becomes a bereaved dog. Relatively speaking, the internal officials are much more loyal. .”
Chongzhen's expression changed again and again. He squinted his eyes and looked into the distance and said softly: "The 'Gong Ziying' you trained performed very well in Taiyuan. Since the internal officials are the most loyal to the royal family, the more people in this 'Gong Ziying', the better."
"My lord, take the order," Chang Yu secretly rejoiced.
The history of the Ming Dynasty records that there were more than 100,000 eunuchs in the Ming Palace... However, this history book is a smear and frame-up work by the Qing Dynasty. Its authenticity and reliability are not even as good as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Most of them are bottomless rumors, which is the most direct reason to refute , how big is the imperial city, where can a hundred thousand people live?
For example, there are detailed records of eunuchs and maids in the imperial city of the Qing Dynasty. Generally, there were no more than three thousand, which is the so-called "three thousand and six". However, according to various historical records, it is true that there are far more eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty than in the Qing Dynasty. Under normal circumstances, two There are 30,000 people, but no matter how many there are, there will be more than 50,000 people.
These tens of thousands of people have been trained, but they are a force that cannot be underestimated. Let’s not talk about their combat power, but their loyalty is definitely not comparable to that of the outside army, because these eunuchs do not have so many choices in life and no way out!
But loyalty alone is not enough to fight a war. You must be dragged out to see blood.
According to historical records, in the final period of Chongzhen, he also organized an army of eunuchs to practice day and night to protect the imperial city. However, when the thieves came in, these eunuchs immediately knew the cruelty of war. The officers and soldiers were the kind of thieves who would fight against them on the battlefield with a near-death experience. They were often so frightened that they peed on the ground and were treated like vegetables by the thieves. They were really vulnerable!
Chang Yu has naturally been thinking about this potential power for a long time. If this power is trained and held in his hands, no matter what happens in the future, it will be capital and confidence, whether it is pulled out to suppress the bandits or resist the Qing Dynasty, or The current situation is really unbearable and even when there is internal fighting, no one is afraid of either force.
But he didn't dare to do anything rashly at this time. The reason was very simple. This cake belonged to the royal family and he couldn't do it. He could only secretly do it on a small scale in the name of training boxers.
But Chongzhen said at this time that you can eat this cake, and he naturally wanted to feast on it.
Chang Yu was secretly happy, but Emperor Chongzhen leaned on the railing and raised his eyebrows with a worried look on his face: "You have no plan to retreat from the enemy outside the pass, and the thieves in the Central Plains are raging. Although Shi Kefa is ambitious, but...hey, what should I do? "
As he spoke, Chongzhen suddenly turned his head and looked at Chang Yu: "In your opinion, do you have any good suggestions?"
Chang Yu thought for a while and then said: "There are two key points. The first is food and grass. But the emperor also said that he has some money at this time, so Xu Tuzhi can use the food and grass. The second is soldiers and horses. Liu Zeqing and Gao Jie are both There are rebellious people and they all have their own evil intentions. If Mr. Shi goes alone, he is afraid that it will be difficult to subdue the crowd. The emperor should send a team of troops to Mr. Shi to suppress the enemy."
Chongzhen nodded slightly and then shook his head: "I have no more soldiers and horses in my hands at this time, how can I send them to him?".
"Your Majesty, Beijing Camp..."
"No"
Before Chang Yu finished speaking, Zhu Cixiang beside him and Wang Chengen in the distance changed their expressions at the same time and blurted out!
Seeing Chongzhen's brows raised and his face solemn, Chang Yu immediately realized that the Beijing camp was responsible for protecting the city of Beijing. How could it be mobilized at will? Previously, the Manchu Qing invaded the pass and plundered, and they attacked outside the city of Beijing several times. If it weren't for the city of Beijing. The camp had been captured long ago. If the Beijing camp was transferred at this time, and the Qing army happened to come again, where would they find someone to rescue them? Therefore, the Beijing camp must not be moved.
"I am stupid." Chang Yu hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then said: "The capital camp cannot be moved, but the emperor's personal guards will rust if they are not used any longer! Instead of leaving them in the capital to rust, why not pull them out and polish them."
Although the Guards belong to the Beijing camp in name, they are not under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. Simply put, they are the emperor's private armed forces. At this time, there are still a few hundred thousand troops on the books. In fact, leaving aside the old, weak, sick, and vacancies, they can It would be good to drag half of them out to fight.
Chongzhen narrowed his eyes. It was not new for his personal guards to go to the capital to fight. In the early years, the four guards of Tengxiang went out with Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong and others to suppress bandits. Chang Yu also carefully selected more than a thousand people when he left the capital to go to Taiyuan. Later, Taiyuan During the war, Chongzhen also transferred all the Jinwu Guards to rush thousands of miles away for reinforcements.
"It's time to grind it out." Chongzhen said and suddenly looked at Chang Yu with a smile on his lips: "Actually, when I asked you just now about your strategy to retreat from the enemy, were you trying to trick my personal guards?"
Chang Yu shook his head: "I really don't. I don't need the emperor's personal guards when I go to the north. These people can be transferred to Mr. Shi."
Chongzhen frowned: "You don't want it? You're going to go north alone. Oh, by the way, you still have the Gongzi camp, but what's the use of just a hundred people?"
"It's not that I don't want it, but what I want is not the emperor's bodyguards. The bodyguards have been in the capital for a long time. Their training has been lax and their combat effectiveness has declined. They can be used to deal with intruders and bandits who sharpen their swords before the battle, but if they are used to deal with Qinggu cavalry, they will undoubtedly Give away the head."
Chang Yu said softly, Chongzhen nodded, deeply agreed, but couldn't help but said: "Then what you want is..."
