"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions!"
Hong Chengchou responded immediately, full of doubts in his heart. Not only was he doubtful, but Yuan Keli on the side was also full of curiosity.
Who is worthy of the emperor's attention and being taught by the governors of the three sides?
"Li Hongji, the postmaster of Yinchuan Station, may also have other names, such as Li Zicheng. His family is from Mizhi County, Yulin. He is now twenty-one or twelve years old."
The information was in a history textbook, so he remembered it clearly.
After Chongzhen finished speaking, Yuan Keli and Hong Chengchou were stunned.
The emperor had directly ordered Jin Yiwei to invite people before, and they knew that.
There were Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, and Zhou Yuji from the Tengxiang Four Guards, Lu Xiangsheng from the Tianxiong Army, Sun Chuanting, the commander of the Forbidden Army, Li Banghua from the Military Discipline Supervision Department, and the deans of the Firearms Research Institute, the Agricultural Research Institute, and the Industrial Research Institute.
Everyone now seems to be very capable and doing very well, which shows the emperor's ability to recognize people.
They thought it would be a famous person this time, but it turned out to be just a postman.
"I have received information that this person likes guns, horses and sticks, has strong martial arts, has a good memory, is hard-working, and has a good brain.
If you join the army and hone your skills, you may not be able to become a good fighter.
Arrange him next to you, not too far or too close, and observe him for a while first!
If you keep to yourself and work hard, that's all. If you are uncontrollable and form cliques for selfish interests, then kill them! "
"After I return, I will send someone to do it immediately!"
Chongzhen didn't have much murderous intentions for this courier boy who conquered Beijing, forced the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty to hang himself on the southeastern branch, and officially declared the demise of the Ming Dynasty.
At that time in the late Ming Dynasty, there were dozens of uprisings, and all sorts of monsters and monsters appeared.
Such as Zijin Liang Wang's own use, Scorpion Block Tuo Yangkun, Guo Tianxing Zhang Wu, Xiying Eight Kings Zhang Xianzhong, Shangtian Monkey, Destroying Mountain Tiger, Youlishu and so on.
It's just that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong fought their way out of the siege and left famous names in history.
Why did the uprising occur? It was because of the great disaster that the court did not save people and had no food to eat. The officials were harsh and oppressive at all levels, and they only revolted when they could not survive.
If the most basic problem cannot be solved and he sends Jin Yiwei to kill Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong directly when he travels through time, Wang Zicheng and Huang Zicheng will also appear.
The imperial court was like a fire-fighting captain. He would put out fires wherever there was a fire. He would always be led by the riot team, spending countless energy in vain.
He understands this truth, so he starts from the basics and eliminates it completely.
Li Zicheng had some abilities, but he was also limited. This is proved by the fact that Yang Sichang, Sun Chuanting, and Hong Chengchou killed him several times.
If it weren't for Chongzhen's many blind interventions, Li Zicheng would have been finished long ago, and there would be no way he could have conquered Beijing.
Why is it possible to resurrect with full health every time when one is on the verge of despair? This is because a large number of hungry people and refugees gather.
But it cannot be said that he is not good because of this factor. He is weak in the overall situation and strategy, but he is good in commanding and managing troops. Of course, the premise is that he is a minority.
In February of the second year of Chongzhen, he went to Ganzhou to join the army. He achieved the position of commander-in-chief in just a few months. A commander-in-chief had jurisdiction over 440 people and was an official of the seventh rank.
This is in the frontier army. If you don't have some ability, you can't be promoted so quickly. After all, not many people are willing to hand over their lives to someone who is not capable.
Thinking of this, Chongzhen frowned slightly. He seemed to remember that the commander-in-chief who surrendered to the army at that time was also a famous general.
But he couldn't remember what it was called, so he would have to find someone to look it up later and put it to another use!
Now let Hong Chengchou bring him under his nose. This is both training and surveillance!
"Li Zicheng is monitored by Hong Chengchou, so who is monitoring Hong Chengchou?"
Thinking of this, Chongzhen glanced at Du Yinxi who was following him from a distance. He had been following him since he left Beijing at the end of February.
His analysis of situations and cases surprised him many times.
He can also handle the things he is told very well, and his execution ability is very strong, even better than what was described in history.
The only thing lacking is experience at the grassroots level, and tall buildings rise from the ground.
He can't overdo it just because he blocks Yinxi's overall situation and strategic potential, and then destroys such a future strategic master.
Except for the dozen or so Wu Jinshi who followed him to protect his safety, the other sixty or seventy people had been arranged to several border towns in Liaodong, Datong, Xuanfu, and Taiyuan.
In particular, the two border towns of Xuanfu and Datong accounted for 70% of the population.
Firstly, he could rest assured that the general soldiers were all his own, and secondly, the border towns were being reorganized and there were many vacancies and opportunities.
Now that the patrol is almost over, it’s time to consider the dozen or so people around him.
Du Yinxi is not one of those martial arts scholars. Although he has some martial arts value, he is really average. If he really wants to go to the frontier army to practice, if he is killed, he will really suffer a big loss.
Chongzhen waved to Du Yinxi: "Du Yinxi, you have been with me for almost two months. I see your ability in my eyes.
The other Wu Jinshi have made arrangements, and you are the only ones left. I have been thinking about how to arrange you all the way!
Now I give you two choices. One is to go to the border town for three months to practice. After the assessment, it will be arranged according to the situation.
The second is to follow Hong Chengchou. The next step is to rectify military affairs. We need manpower and can also get some experience! "
When Du Yinxi heard the choice given by Chongzhen, he was silent for a moment, and then he had the result.
"Your Majesty, there is a reason why I gave up my writing and joined the army. I want to become an official and contribute to the country. With my talents, I am confident that I will win the top three in the imperial examination.
But the top three Jinshi, even the number one, second, and top pick, have to rotate in the Hanlin Academy for three years.
What's more, other Jinshi were only promoted from the seventh rank when they arrived, and were promoted after three years.
If there is no way out, if he survives until he leaves office, he will probably only be in the third rank.
But years ago, His Majesty issued an edict on martial arts, changing the examination standards and waiting standards. Even the last place will be awarded the fifth rank, and after experience and inspection, he will be awarded a practical position.
This is a shortcut for me, a shortcut that can quickly realize my ambition, so I chose to study martial arts. Fortunately, I got the second grade.
But since I followed His Majesty out of the capital, I have seen too many things. It seems that I am not missing among the generals. In the next few years, I will definitely defeat all foreign enemies.
In this case, I will return to the rank of civil servants, take charge of the political side, and work hard to change the side. I will follow Governor Hong and learn from the most basic. Please allow me! "
Everyone who heard what he said was filled with emotion, and their eyes were filled with surprise.
Look at this artistic way of speaking, it's like a template.
First, boast and express confidence. This is very important, not only to express your talents to the emperor, but also to pave the way for the next arrangements.
Then he said why he chose martial arts, and that he wanted to contribute to the country, but had no other options, and exposed the current situation in the officialdom.
The emperor's reforms gave him hope. This is a compliment to the emperor! Everything he saw later with the emperor and the bulldozing of foreign enemies were all praising the emperor.
Finally, express what you want to do.
These words made everyone judge Du Yinxi: Talent!
Chongzhen chuckled lightly. After all, Du Yinxi's historical trajectory returned to that of a civil servant, but it would be better to experience it at the grassroots level first!
But Chongzhen had no choice for a while about what position to arrange.
