Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

The content of the imperial edict was to relieve Gao Jie from his post as Chief Military Officer of Shaanxi, return to Beijing with Eunuch Rong Mo, and then go to the Royal Military Academy to study for three years. The post of Chief Military Officer of Shaanxi was concurrently held by Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three sides.

No matter what other people's reactions were, Sun Chuanting bowed three times in the direction of the capital with a serious expression, calling the emperor a saint.

Although he is the governor-general in charge of the three sides, if the three generals do not obey orders, he is only a mere commander. Now he is also the chief military officer of Shaanxi. Even if Zuo Liangyu and Hu Dawei do not obey orders, he has at least There are still hundreds of thousands of Shaanxi troops that can be mobilized.

Among the three armies of Shaanxi, Baoding, and Huguang, the combat strength of the Shaanxi Army under the command of He Renlong was not weak. After Gao Jie took charge, he ran the army strictly, and the combat strength of the Shaanxi Army soared, ranking first among the three armies. This also proves that Gao Jie's abilities are impressive.

Sun Chuanting had always regarded Gao Jie as his confidant and right-hand man. His transfer made him feel reluctant to leave, but it was hard to disobey the sacred order. What's more, the emperor's appointment of him as the chief military officer of Shaanxi Province was already compensation in disguise. He also had Why are you dissatisfied?

Although Gao Jie handed over his military power, he still had some trivial matters to deal with. Eunuch Rong Mo did not rush him to go on his way and gave him three days to deal with his personal matters.

It took Gao Jie most of the day to calm down his subordinates. Of the three hundred personal guards, he only followed with fifty people, leaving the rest to Sun Chuanting.

Among the fifty personal guards he selected, about ten were semi-disabled. Most people would be given a settlement allowance and then dismissed. However, Gao Jie not only did not give up, but also kept them with him. This shows that he still cares about his trusted subordinates. Very caring.

All the tribes were so moved that they insisted on following and serving to the death. Gao Deng had no choice but to make his words clear to appease them.

In private, he asked Eunuch Rong Mo for advice. Eunuch Rong Mo did not refuse or deceive him. He just reminded him sincerely that there are all his trusted guards, but the number depends on the situation. If it is wartime, three hundred There are not many personal guards, not too few, but now that you are going to the capital to study, three hundred personal guards are too many.

If any civil servant dislikes you and reads a copy of your book in front of the emperor, even if the emperor protects you, he will be overwhelmed and exhausted. At this point, you can figure it out yourself.

Although Gao Jie was reluctant to give up, he could only reluctantly give up most of his personal guards. They were all the iron-blooded private army he had spent countless money and efforts to cultivate. Who wouldn't feel heartbroken to replace them?

It wasn't until Gao Jie promised that if the personal guards did not get along well with Sun Chuanting, they would come and join him, then the personal guards gave up.

After appeasing the guards, Zuo Liangyu and Huwei Dahu came to visit, and Gao Jie greeted them with tents.

"Brother Gao, what do you think?" Hu Dawei is a big boss. The first thing he said was to ask Gao Jie if he was out of his mind. If he is not a good commander-in-chief, why should he study? Moreover, the training lasts for three years. After three years, ghosts still know who you are, Gao Jie?

It's no wonder that both Hu Dawei and Zuo Liangyu think so. The chief soldier is a senior military position in the Ming Dynasty's military. In the event of a war, the chief soldier will wear the seal of general and go out to fight, and then hand it over. Not just anyone can do it. Zuo Liangyu Which one of Liangyu, Hu Dawei, and Gao Jie himself has not accumulated military merit and spent many years to climb to the position of chief military officer? If it were not for special circumstances, who would give up?

"Brothers, please listen to me..." Gao Jie explained with a wry smile that there was a reason why he gave up the position of Shaanxi Chief Military Officer.

Looking at the friendship between his comrades who fought together and the military bosses, he did not fool the two of them, but sincerely understood what he heard from Xu Yu and other officers of the Royal First Regiment. , tell them all one by one.

The purpose of going to the Royal Military Academy for further studies was to learn about new strategies and tactics and other military knowledge, and to improve his military capabilities. This was also the main reason why he gave up the Shaanxi General Military Officer.

Of course, there is still a lot of gambling involved here. If the emperor doesn't use you, your future and military career will be basically over. Gao Jie is taking a big gamble.

Hu Dawei and Zuo Liangyu just sneered. They both thought Gao Jie was deceived by the emperor. Seeing Gao Jie's persistence, they could only wish him good luck.

Seeing that the two of them didn't believe it, Gao Jie just sighed. Everyone has his own ambitions and can't force it. Sometimes people are like this. A choice is a destiny, and he is just betting on his future and taking a big gamble.
