Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 78 078
Taichang attached great importance to Qi Jin's suggestion, because forming a powerful cavalry could not only compete with the slave cavalry, but also make the imperial guards and pro-army more deterrent.

The speed of the cavalry is quite frightening. With the deterrence of the cavalry, the tribes of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, the vassal states, the chieftain barbarians, and even the local governors and governors must be honest and dare not collude with the court. The hall officials are playing tricks, otherwise, once the cavalry rushes over, they will all be finished.

It can be said that a powerful cavalry is a sharp weapon to frighten all directions.

However, after searching through the information on the Forbidden Army, Beijing Camp, Frontier Army and Tunwei, he found that there were no cavalry at all in the entire Ming Dynasty!
This period can be said to be the most embarrassing period for the Ming army. There is really no regular cavalry unit in the entire Ming Dynasty.

The invincible 3000 Battalion of the Yongle Dynasty disappeared as early as the Tumu Fortress Change. During the Jiajing Dynasty, a [-]-man cavalry team was rebuilt. This cavalry was called the Shenshu Battalion.

However, the cavalry of the Shenshu camp are all composed of handsome and powerful men and honorable children in the Beijing camp. Their task is to accompany the driver and raise the flag, that is, to replace the duty of the standard guard. They were not formed for charging at all. .

The frontier army of the Ming Dynasty originally had [-] to [-] cavalry, but it was a pity that they were all buried in the Battle of Sarhu by Yang Gao, and their horses became the trophies of Jiannu!
As for the famous Guan Ning cavalry behind the world, there is no sign of it at the moment, because the Guan Ning cavalry was formed after Sun Chengzong built the Guan Ningjin defense line, and it was not until Yuan Chonghuan's great victory in Ningyuan and Ningjin. .

In other words, Daming really couldn't find any cavalry at the moment.

How to do it?

After thinking about it for a while, Taichang decided to call in the famous Guan Ning cavalry general to reorganize the Beijing cavalry.

There are many generals in Guanning Iron Cavalry, the most famous one is the combination of Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui, the uncle and nephew. However, these two belong to the Liaodong warlord system, and they are not very reliable. If they fail, they will rebel. Yes, Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao are the uncles and nephews whose fame can barely match them.

Cao Wenzhao was rumored to be the number one fierce general in the late Ming Dynasty, and it was easy for the Wanjun to take the head of the enemy general from the bushes.

It's a pity that because he was too fierce, in history, he even led a thousand Guanning iron cavalry to chase more than [-] peasant troops to fight, but he was trapped in a heavy siege and died of exhaustion!
Cao Bianjiao is rumored to be more fierce than his uncle. This guy once led 800 troops to raid the Jiannu camp, and he was so brave all the way until he reached the front of Huang Taiji. The generals of the Eight Banners of Jiannu were terrified, and finally mobilized tens of thousands of bows and arrows. It was only with a random shot of his hand that he was forced back.

It's a pity that Cao Bianjiao was outnumbered in the Songjin Battle before he could make a name for himself. He was captured by Jiannu and died unyielding.

This pair of uncles and nephews must be fine, no matter what, those who can sacrifice their lives for Daming can prove their loyalty.

Qi Jin, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, including Sun Chengzong, Lu Xiangsheng, and Sun Chuanting, all of them would rather die than betray Daming.

If their lives are gone, then everything is gone. Is there any doubt about their loyalty?

Therefore, there is no need to doubt the loyalty of Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao. They are much stronger than Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui who surrendered and became slaves when the situation was not right.

As soon as he thought of this, Taichang immediately ordered Babaili to send the letter urgently, and Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao's uncle and nephew rushed to the capital to face the saint.

Within three days, the pair of uncles and nephews hurried to the capital.

To be honest, Cao Wenzhao was really confused.

He is just the general manager of the Datong Army at the moment. In the 47th year of Wanli, after the defeat of the Sarhu War, he followed the Shanxi Frontier Army to Liaodong for support.

In the beginning, under the leadership of Jinglue Xiong Tingbi, they made some achievements, at least blocking Jiannu to the north of Shenyang and unable to advance an inch.

However, as soon as Jinglue Xiong Tingbi left, the reinforcements from all walks of life were in chaos. Jiannu immediately took the opportunity to take the important town of Shenyang, and the military orders issued by his successor Jinglue Yuan Yingtai were basically uninvited.

He still didn't know what was going on, the army of more than [-] was suddenly defeated, Jiang Bi, the commander in chief to aid the Liao Dynasty, took them all the way to the west and fled frantically, and finally fled to Ningyuan, where they were recruited by Sun Chengzong, a senior supervisor.

This battle was really suffocating. He didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, and the army began to be defeated.

It can be said that not only did he fail to achieve an inch of merit, but he was also suspected of deserting soldiers.

Unexpectedly, he had just arrived in Ningyuan not long ago, and before he received a new job, Master Sun Chengzong, the Grand Master of the Superintendent, ordered him to take his nephew and quickly enter the capital to face the saint.

Why is the emperor looking for them?
He brought his young nephew, Cao Bianjiao, to the palace full of apprehension, and entered the imperial study room. He bowed at the head and did not dare to steal a glance at the emperor.

Right now he is a defeated general, really ashamed to see the emperor!

Unexpectedly, the emperor suddenly stood up, walked quickly to him, bent down and grabbed his arm and said kindly: "Oh, General Cao, it's been a hard journey, hurry up, get up soon."

I!
No, Your Majesty, what exactly do you want to do?
Cao Wenzhao was lifted up in such a dumbfounded way, he was so flattered that he couldn't describe his mood at this time, he was simply stunned.

The young Cao Bianjiao didn't even dare to move when lying there. Maybe, he felt that the emperor just called his uncle to get up and didn't tell him to get up, so he couldn't get up.

Unexpectedly, the emperor bent down and grabbed his arm again, and said kindly: "Little General Cao, get up quickly too."

call me general?

Your majesty, I'm afraid you made a mistake. I am my uncle's personal soldier. To put it bluntly, I am just doing odd jobs!

Cao Bianjiao was so dazed, he was completely dumbfounded.

Then, something even more shocking happened.

The emperor looked Cao Bianjiao up and down, and even praised him again and again: "Oh, I didn't expect that General Cao is so heroic and extraordinary, and he will become a great weapon in the future! General Cao, how about I marry you, little girl Hui Yan is exactly twelve, and she is a good match for General Xiao Cao, why don't we settle the marriage?"

what?
When Cao Wenzhao heard this, his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

It is rumored that the emperor was murdered after he ascended the throne, and became a little crazy. Now the emperor is not a madman, is he?
He was stunned for a while, and then said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, are you joking?"

Who are you kidding?

Taichang immediately said solemnly: "You are not joking, how could I joke with you about this kind of thing, just say, do you agree with this marriage?"

Dare I disagree?

You are the emperor!
Cao Wenzhao hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

This time, Cao Bianjiao's jaw almost fell to the ground.

How could he have imagined that a little soldier like him ran to the capital with his uncle to find a daughter-in-law, and this daughter-in-law was a princess!
No one would have imagined such a thing!
Both uncle and nephew were dumbfounded at the moment.

Could it be that the emperor summoned them from Liaodong to the capital just to choose a son-in-law for the princess?

of course not!

Taichang had considered this marriage a long time ago.

Although there are only two sons left, there are three daughters left, and all of them will be married within a few years.

According to the precepts of the ancestors, all three of his daughters can only find random civilians to marry.

The ordinary people are the same as the maids who choose palaces. They must be pure ordinary people without any background.

Perhaps, the two ancestors, Hongwu and Yongle, both wanted to prevent their relatives from intervening in politics.

Didn't you know that this weakened the strength of the royal family instead.

The emperor himself must choose a concubine from ordinary people without any background, and his sons and daughters must be married to ordinary people without any background. Doesn’t this mean that the emperor has to face the challenges of all forces alone!

People can have relatives and friends, form cliques, why can't the emperor?

Isn't this just weakening your own strength?

Therefore, once the imperial army and the pro-army are finished, the emperor will be alone, and even civil servants will not be able to fight.

This is definitely not possible, we have to form cliques and strengthen our own strength from all aspects.

As for foreign relatives intervening in politics, it depends on an emperor's control. If the emperor's control is not enough, it will be the same without foreign relatives intervening in politics!
