Brother Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 58
"Clang clang clang..."

Early in the morning, when the sky was slightly bright, the sound of clanging and golden clanging resounded throughout the barracks.

This is simply a disaster for the Four Guards and One Battalion who have not been trained strictly.

They got up in a hurry, and then put on their armor clumsily. After dawdling for a long time, they ran towards the school ground in the military camp.

Like stragglers, they poured into the school field in groups, and there were already Habayashi Sanwei's troops standing on both sides of the school field.

Compared with this group of horse inspectors who haven't practiced for a long time, although the three guards of Habayashi have no salary, and they spend three days fishing and two days of training, they are still better than them who have never practiced.

Looking like a headless chicken, he hurriedly looked for his Qianhu, Zongqi, and Xiaoqi's horse inspector soldiers, and some Habayashi guards beside him even cast mocking glances.

As long as they encounter existences worse than themselves, the original poor students will be proud, which is normal.

But, but soon they couldn't laugh anymore, because His Highness the Fifth Prince, whom they both respected and feared, led Lu Wenzhao, Wang Chengen, Yang Lian, the Ministry of War and other officials and minor officials to the high platform of the school grounds.

Standing in the front row, the three guards of Habayashi could clearly see how dark his Highness's face was.

From Ming Jin Dianmao to now, a full two quarters of an hour have passed, that is, a full half an hour.

After such a long time, even the hooligans should find their backbone, but they didn't.

Zhu Youjian sat on the main seat on the high platform of the school field, and after signaling Yang Lian to take the second seat, he said with a sullen face:

"Lu Wenzhao, ask Habayashi Sanwei and Jin Yiwei to help tidy up this mob!"

"The lowly post takes orders!" Lu Wenzhao heard this, folded his hands and composed, turned around and shouted:
"Habayashi Sanwei and Jin Yiwei take action to help the brothers of the Four Guards and the First Battalion to adjust!"

As soon as the voice was heard, the six temporary Habayashi Sanwei Qianhu and the four Jinyiwei Baihu who stood behind Lu Wenzhao all handed over their orders.

They trotted down the high platform, and then commanded the troops of their own headquarters, to kill the four guards and one battalion who were still in chaos.

More than [-] people were beaten by more than [-] people, crying for their father and mother, and only a few dared to yell and curse.

But to put it well, if you can unite people around you in a chaotic situation, such a person has the qualities of a leader, and Zhu Youjian also saw a person with such qualities.

Among the [-] chaotic troops on the school grounds, one of the guards holding the flag of Tengxiang Guard stood in place in an orderly manner, and the three guards of Habayashi did not teach them a lesson. It seemed that they had already assembled and their positions were correct.

"Who leads that team?"

Zhu Youjian pointed to the standing lighthouse and horses in the storm and asked, Wang Chengen bowed slightly when he saw this, and said:
"Looking at the number of people and positions, it should be under the banner of Tengxiang Zuowei Wang Pingshan's Thousand Households, Zhaojiatun Hundred Households, and the leader of the Hundred Households is Sun Yingyuan, who is a hereditary military household of the Imperial Horse Supervisor."

"Sun Yingyuan?" Zhu Youjian's gloomy expression improved when he heard the name.

This name may be the best news I got after I came to Yumajian.

Sun Yingyuan, this person is not familiar to many people in later generations, but in fact he was one of the founders of the Yongwei Camp established by Chongzhen in history.

His hometown and place of origin, or even the year of his birth and death are not recorded in the history books, but it is recorded that he was in charge of horse herding in the Yumajian.

For example, many people think that Chongzhen does not have a team of people who are loyal to him.

As an emperor, Chongzhen had poor political means and strategic vision, but he must have some scheming.

After realizing that the frontier army was unreliable, he gathered the four guards and one battalion of the Yumajian with some officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp for selection, and finally selected a brave guard battalion with more than [-] people.

The three giants in this brave guard battalion are Sun Yingyuan, Zhou Yuji, and Huang Degong.

They led the Yongwei Battalion and the Peasant Army, and the Houjin army fought many tough battles. It can be said that from the perspective of the Yongwei Battalion alone, Chongzhen did better than most people.

It's just that from the perspective of grand strategy and politics, the method of splitting up the Yongwei Battalion after Chongzhen was not clever.

In Zhu Youjian's view, either the Yongwei battalion should be dispatched to suppress the bandits, give them trust, and give them the will to expand locally.

Or simply call the Yongwei Battalion to guard around the capital, and manage Beizhili as firmly as an iron bucket.

But in history, Chongzhen split the Yongwei Camp into three parts, which directly led to the death of Sun Yingyuan in the [-]th year of Chongzhen, and Zhou Yuji also died in the subsequent Ningwuguan.

It can be said that if there was the Yongwei Battalion after the expansion of the army, it would be difficult for Li Zicheng to break into Ningwuguan. Even if he did, the Yongwei Battalion would escort Chongzhen to the south to secure the throne.

At that time, it is impossible for the four Jiangbei towns, Liu Liangzuo and others to rebel, and they will be suppressed by the Yongwei camp immediately.

It's a pity that one step is wrong and one step is wrong.

For Sun Yingyuan, Chongzhen could not forgive him in history, and what Zhu Youjian had to do was to promote him in advance.

"Call Sun Yingyuan up!" Zhu Youjian said impressively, and Wang Chengen also quickly sent the little eunuch to summon Sun Yingyuan.

Since the school grounds are large enough to accommodate [-] people for training, when the little eunuch arrived at Sun Yingyuan's headquarters, the entire line of Yumajian had been slowly formed under the correction of Habayashi Sanwei and Jinyiwei Shaweibang.

When the little eunuch came in front of Sun Yingyuan's department within a few seconds, Zhu Youjian saw the little eunuch leading a taller general walking towards the high platform of the school field.

The little eunuch was about five feet three inches tall, but the general was a head taller than him, at least five feet nine inches or six feet tall.

Zhu Youjian watched the two of them, and at this time the generals of the three guards of the Habayashi, and various households of the four guards and the first battalion stood under the high platform of the school field.

Under their watchful eyes, the little eunuch led Sun Yingyuan up to the high platform, which surprised them slightly.

"Mark Sun Yingyuan, the hundred-household officer of Tengxiang Zuowei, and pay homage to His Highness Fifth! Your Highness is a thousand years old!"

As soon as Sun Yingyuan got on the high platform, he knelt down on one knee and saluted.

Zhu Youjian also took a rough look at Sun Yingyuan at this time.

Sun Yingyuan, as he expected, was twenty-six or seventeen years old, and his height was around five feet nine, close to one meter nine, so he stood out from the crowd in the army.

The Baihuguan's old hood and mandarin duck warwort have a strong and tough body, not fat but strong.

"Looking like this, wearing the hood of a hundred household officer is really wronging you."

As soon as Zhu Youjian opened his mouth, he meant to be promoted, which made Sun Yingyuan happy, and Zhu Youjian also turned his head to Wang Chengen and said:

"Promote Sun Yingyuan, an officer of hundreds of households, to Tengxiang Zuowei Qianhu, temporarily acting as the commander of Tengxiang Zuowei!"

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone was amazed, and Sun Yingyuan even bowed his head and bowed:

"The last general, Sun Yingyuan, thank Your Highness for your kindness, and wrap your body in horse leather to repay Your Highness, His Majesty, and Ming Dynasty!"

Jumping from a hundred households to a thousand households is two levels in a row, and temporarily acting as the commander of the third rank means that as long as he does a good job, he, Sun Yingyuan, can secure the position of commander.

In this way, Sun Yingyuan can be said to have reached the sky in one step, jumping directly to the position of a general of the third rank.

Although this is the general grade of the Yumajian, the Ministry of War will generally look down on it, so it won't care too much, but it is the third grade after all.

Zhu Youjian was not worried that the Ministry of War would impeach him. Leaving aside the Ministry of War, Yang Lian, who was sitting next to Zhu Youjian, was surprised when Yang Lian heard about it, but thought about it. It is not under the control of the Ministry of War and the military department, so there is no interruption.

But in any case, the matter of reaching the sky in one step has become a fact, and Zhu Youjian has also found a general for the Yumajian.

The appearance of Sun Yingyuan can save him a lot of trouble in the future, and it is not a loss to exchange the official position of a thousand households...
