Zhu Youxiao, who was waiting for the opportunity, soon thought of Yuan Yingtai. After this guy was in charge of Liaodong, he would definitely be corrupt. After the corruption was over, he would have to bring warmth to the Qing Dynasty. Otherwise, how would he cover up the problem of corruption?

After all, after corruption, soldiers cannot even have enough food. If they are not sent to the battlefield to send them, wouldn’t they start to make trouble? If they go to the battlefield to send them out, they will die, and the problem of embezzlement of military pay will be covered up.

However, Zhu Youxiao didn't know when Chen Yang would be lost, so in mid-February, he issued an imperial edict to Yuan Yingtai, asking Yuan Yingtai to transfer all the craftsmen in Chen Yang to the Royal Military Factory in the Capital.

The imperial edict was sent to Chenyang through the post station.

After receiving the imperial edict, Yuan Yingtai followed the orders and sent all the craftsmen in the city to the capital. This expanded the scale of the Royal Military Factory again.

At this time, the land of the Royal Military Factory expanded a lot.

The equipment of the Tengxiang Guards was quickly produced, with the standard equipment, namely armor, spear (cavalry and lance), and some cavalry were equipped with cotton armor.

In terms of weapons, it is not all about spears, because cavalry can release their hands during battle and do not need to tighten the reins to guide the war horses, so Zhu Youxiao has produced some shields that can be tied to his arms. There are also sabers, battle axes, and maces, and soldiers can freely choose to equip them.

In addition to the weapons and equipment required by the Tengxiang Four Guards, the Royal Military Factory began to produce combroach guns. In the past, the combroach guns were burned red with two sections of steel pipes and then connected together, and then used awls to smooth the inside of the barrel. The barrel could not be produced in one step.

These mesh guns look more modern, but their firepower efficiency is still a little worse. However, they can also be used for combat, but they are more afraid of wind and rainy weather.

Because the Royal Military Factory's concoort guns are sufficiently made of materials, the quality produced is still very good, and the probability of blowing is very low.

The clamp gun must naturally be produced, and Zhu Youxiao must form an infantry force, otherwise he would rely on the cavalry of the Tengxiang Guards to be more passive on the battlefield.

After all, wild boar skin can shoot arrows on horseback, and the main combat method of the Tengxiang Four Guards is to charge. However, the Tengxiang Four Guards were carefully equipped by Zhu Youxiao. Everyone wore armor and steel helmets, and they also had vests on the war horse. The arrows of wild boar skin were not too great.

But if you want to take the initiative, infantry must be the core.

If the wild boar skin is shooting against the infantry and there are enough musketeers, it is not worthy of the wild boar skin. If the wild boar skin is going to charge, then the four guards of Tengxiang can attack.

Therefore, the main task of the Tengxiang Guards is to protect the infantry troops, which is also the role that the cavalry will inevitably play after it reaches a certain stage of development.

With the continuous advancement of firearms, the cavalry's position on the battlefield is getting lower and lower, but as long as machine guns appear, cavalry still has the necessity to exist.

Therefore, if the Tengxiang Guards want to develop sufficient combat effectiveness, in addition to constantly strengthening their own training and good military equipment, they must also have infantry to conduct coordinated combat.

Reorganizing the Beijing Camp became something Zhu Youxiao urgently needed to do at present.

But what Zhu Youxiao didn't expect was that the craftsmen in Chenyang had just sent out Chenyang for less than three days. On March 13, Haci led heavy troops to encircle Chenyang. Chenyang City was very strong, with moats outside the city, logged wood to make briquettes, ambushed cannons, and guarded very strictly. Haci arrived suddenly and did not dare to force into the city immediately. He first used dozens of cavalry to separate the trenches to reconnaise. General You Shigong's servants pursued and beheaded level 4. General He Shixian led more than a thousand personal soldiers out of the city to fight. ** Haci pretended to be defeated. Shixian took advantage of the fierce attack. Suddenly, the enemy cavalry gathered together, and Shixian was defeated. The surrendered soldiers in the city rebelled again, broke the suspension bridge outside the city, and Shixian died in battle.

Then You Shigong led his troops to support and was also killed in battle. The soldiers outside the city were all defeated, and the general Xia Guoqing, Zhang Gang, the governor Duan Zhan, and the magistrate Chen Fuguang were all killed in the formation. Chen Ce, the general general of Sichuan and Zhejiang, led Sichuan troops to cross the Hunhe River to reinforce, and they all died in battle with Tong Zhongkui and others. The Later Jin army then attacked Chenyang City.

In this battle, the famous Qi family army, as well as Sichuan Baigang soldiers and 7,000 troops, with few enemies and wild boar skin, were indistinguishable from the fight, Yuan Yingtai watched the show in the rear. When these two troops came to ask for help, Yuan Yingtai refused to continue reinforcements to the battlefield on the grounds that "the Later Jin army was too strong and it would be useless to invest the troops again."

Yuan Yingtai was not scared out of fear, but was traitorizing the country.

All signs show that the fall of Chenyang was carefully strategy by Yuan Yingtai and the wild boar skin. Otherwise, with the fortifications of Chenyang, the wild boar skin would pile up all the people and would not be able to be beaten down.

conscience?

Most of the Donglin Party came from Jiangnan and despised the people in the north, especially the people in Liaodong. These Donglin Party officials at the end of the Ming Dynasty had extremely serious regional discrimination.

In their opinion, it doesn’t matter how much the Liao people die.

"Your Majesty, Chen Yang is lost." Li Jinzhong took a report from the Dongchang to Zhu Youxiao. Just one day after Shenyang fell, the Dongchang spies soon spread the information back. At this time, the Dongchang had Zhu Youxiao invested heavily and a preliminary intelligence network was established in Liaodong.

"It's just lost." After Zhu Youxiao read the information, although he had been expected, he still couldn't hide his anger. He clenched his fists tightly, and then let go weakly. His dignified emperor was turned into a puppet emperor by the Donglin Party. Even though he had known this result for a long time, he was unable to change it.

"Chuan Tian Ergeng meets you immediately." Zhu Youchao waved to Yang Guang.

"Yes, the emperor." Yang Guang hurriedly ran down to convey that it was noon and Tian Ergeng was still having a meal. He heard that the emperor summoned him and stopped eating. He hurried to the palace as quickly as possible.

"My minister Tian Ergeng bowed to the emperor."

"Get up! Take someone to confiscate Yuan Yingtai's house immediately and see how much money this guy has levied in Liaodong." Zhu Youxiao ordered hatefully.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Yingtai is the governor of Liaodong. It is probably inappropriate to directly investigate Yuan Yingtai." Tian Ergeng suggested with concern. Zhu Youxiao showed Tian Ergeng the East Factory to Tian Ergeng. Tian Ergeng was extremely shocked by the fall of Chenyang. Zhu Youxiao said: "Yuan Yingtai lost his country, and this crime will make his whole family die without a place to die. Go!"

"I obey the order." Tian Ergeng immediately stopped hesitating. After leaving the palace, Tian Ergeng immediately took the emperor's imperial edict and took hundreds of Jinyiwei to investigate Yuan Yingtai's mansion, and divided his troops into two groups, and rushed to Yuan Yingtai's hometown.

This is the first time that Zhu Youxiao has searched the ministers after he ascended the throne.

I was also looking forward to how much money I could get back to make up for the losses in Liaodong.

Just when the Jinyiwei rushed into Yuan Yingtai's official residence, sealed the house, and controlled the relevant people, Ye Xianggao, who received the news, was shocked and did not understand why the emperor suddenly searched Yuan Yingtai's house.

However, soon, an expedited military message was sent to the cabinet.
