eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 342
It is not a trivial matter for the emperor to give a gift. It is a gaffe to give it too lightly, and it is a gaffe to give it too heavy.In the end, Mei Huaiyan thought of a good way for him,
The emperor wrote the word "Ruyi", and then had people embroider it on the bellybands worn by children. The things are not big, and the craftsmanship is not complicated. Even the dexterous women in the palace can do it.

Later, this was given to Mao Yuwen, which was considered a joy.

But this guy was born as a daughter, and he still looks a little unhappy, and he will pout sometimes anyway.

"Mother and daughter are safe, that is great joy, why do you keep entangled in this?"

"Your Majesty taught me that." Mao Yuwen muttered, "It's just that I'm nearly thirty years old, and I don't have a son to inherit the incense, so I'm inevitably a little anxious."

"Look at him, he's a good boy when he gets a bargain." The emperor joked with Liu Jin beside him, "Okay, I'll be fine next time. I'm looking for you today. First, it's because of your joy. Second, it's also There is something."

"Your Majesty has an order, and I will die!"

"Well, this matter is quite simple. Gu Liqing from the household department went to Yangzhou to inspect the salt. According to my understanding of him, the movement of his trip is not trivial. But the salt interest involves too many people, and there may be some changes in the capital."

"Your Majesty, Vice Envoy Han has arrived."

"Xuan."

"Yes."

Zhu Houzhao continued, "Jinyiwei will take joint action this time. Beizhen Fusi and Nanzhen Fusi have a division of responsibilities. Although the news has not yet reached the capital, people's temper is hard to change, so it will be a matter of time. So Nanzhen The Fusi needs to plan in advance, and some internal hidden lines and secrets must be put in place. Beizhen Fusi is investigating the case and arresting people."

Both Mao and Han couldn't believe it, "Could it be that Your Majesty thinks...someone in the capital has other ideas?"

"That's not the case. The so-called law does not blame the public. I just hope that when the time comes, I can have a target. That's it, you go back and prepare separately."

Mao Yuwen returned home with thoughts in mind,
The emperor has not ordered him to go south to Yangzhou, but it is only because there is no news from Yangzhou for the time being.

But even so, it is not enough to ask him and Han Ziren to prepare together...

Later, Xu Xueyun answered his doubts,
"Your Majesty's next generation of heroes has always done things like this. It is that there is no plan in mind to kill in the capital, but the preparations must be prepared in a certain direction. The so-called targeted, in fact, is to reserve options. That is, there are actually soldiers. Threatened to threaten the emperor, the emperor is not afraid of anyone's threats, the worst is to use a knife to fall."

This is the true meaning of being targeted, and it is also the emperor's consistent style of doing things.

In fact, there was another important event in April that the emperor paid special attention to.

Because there will be martial arts performances in the A, B, and C three-level guards in Shangzhi's personal guards, the survival of the fittest, and being a first-level guard for one year does not mean being a first-level guard every year.

The content of the martial arts performance is very hardcore, and there is no relationship at all, human or human.It was as if the Ministry of War hadn't thought about how to fight a war at all, so that the content of the martial arts competition could not be faked at all.

First of all, there is a square team standing posture competition. It is not about who looks better, but who can maintain a posture for a long time.

What human kindness can this thing have?One stick of incense for you, two sticks of incense for him, long is long, short is short.

This was actually thought up by Zhu Houzhao. Although he is not a military master, this is related to the obedience of the army, and he still knows this basic thing.

The second part of the martial arts exercise is a rapid march, with a length of five kilometers, one, two, three will be divided into whoever goes first.

In fact, in Zhu Houzhao's view, if the army of this era can do a good job in these two points, obey the command, and have physical fitness, then after a few battles, it will be a very powerful army.

The third part of performing martial arts is really about fighting.

The battle is carried out in groups, with three people in each group, not playing tricks, but three people fighting head-to-head.However, this matter started a long time in advance, because 600 people from each clinic came to participate, and there were too many groups, and it was too late.

Therefore, the army stipulates that each guard will first select internally, and each guard will select the most powerful 30 people and ten teams.The results of these ten teams are also points, and the sum of the points is the points of the guard.

The so-called points are new words, and they are all the emperor's idea.

It can also be seen from this that the emperor attached great importance to the construction of Shangzhi's personal guards.

In addition, military academies and students who can read and write are also allowed to enrich middle and upper-level officers, and the training and construction of various guards are often personally cared for and arranged personally.

This year, perhaps the first year of Zhengde, the emperor paid more attention to it.

In fact, Emperor Yongle had always paid more attention to the maintenance of the army's combat ability. He would practice through the competition between the local army and the Beijing army.

Now except for Jinyiwei, Zhu Houzhao has been involved in the appointment of the commanders of the 25th personal guards of Shangzhi, and after several years of transition, all the commanders are from the military academy.

This is an army led by the emperor himself, and there is no need to explain to anyone whether it is suitable or not.

In the past, there would be some guards who were old, weak, sick, and disabled, but they were gradually replaced. Not only was it the emperor's will, but the commanders themselves couldn't bear it, because there were too many such people, and the combat effectiveness could not increase.

There are too many places where the combat effectiveness cannot be improved, because there are other competitions besides the grand martial arts performance, so if you really want to suffer, you will always suffer. Which commander can bear this?
Everyone came out of the military academy, so why can some people become commanders of the first-level guards, while you can only be the third-level guards?

It's not just that the military pay is much higher.

They are far worse in every way.

Some of them were from honorable backgrounds, and those people from the poor have climbed on top of them. Isn't it embarrassing?
In addition, Zhu Houzhao is still planning. He will also take a trip to these Jingwei recently, and take 25 generals to pull out his army to have a look.

The word is exercise.

In case of any accident, it is a question whether the 14 people can be in place immediately.

But most people in the Military Aircraft Department and the Six Departments and Nine Ministers disagreed.

First of all, there is no important military action, why call 10,000+ troops when you have nothing to do?Second, the emperor favored martial arts, and literati naturally resisted it.

But Zhu Houzhao persisted.

This made several officials suspicious.

Liang Chu and Han Wen went to find Wang Bing, Shangshu of the Ministry of War,

"Great Sima, has there been any change recently? Your Majesty is not a willful character. After all the ministers persuaded him, your Majesty still wants to serve Xuanwei with force. Is there any reason for this?"

Wang Bing shook his head, "I know nothing more than the two of you. I can only say that the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and the Sacred Heart is unpredictable."

If it were someone else, they might as well be young at heart.But today's Holy One is definitely not.

Anyway, Min Gui always felt that there was some purpose, "I can't tell if there is a sudden declaration of military power, or something important."

After several years of investing money and replacing personnel, Shangzhi's personal guards are no longer what they used to be.The emperor has 14 elite troops in his hand, and he has to show them off. What do you mean?
Such behavior certainly has political implications in it, but Zhu Houzhao never does anything just for the sake of politics, because politics is just a means, the key is the purpose.

The matter itself also has its military implications.

After all, there are 14 people, even if all 14 pigs are driven out of the pen, it is not easy.

And in order to reflect the specialness of this year, these 25 guards were divided into [-] guards for the fourth martial arts exercise, and they conducted exercises and combats with each other.

It's not that they can't think of a good way, but that when the Ming army faces the Tatars, the most critical battle may be a frontal field battle. It's not that they don't advocate military strategies, but Zhu Houzhao wants to let the Ming army face head-to-head When there is time, there is also the courage to fight!
The remaining guards served as the emperor's bodyguards to ensure the emperor's safety outside the palace.

Zhu Houzhao planned to train his immediate personal guards, but he didn't believe that, with the guarantee of military pay and his continuous attention, he couldn't cultivate a high-spirited elite infantry.

The emperor's battle armor was rattling, and he was also a little interested in his military uniform, so he ordered a bronze mirror to be taken for him.

"Since ancient times, emperors have martial arts and martial arts. I don't worry about Wenzhi. But we haven't done it yet!"

Liu Jin flattered at the side, "Your Majesty can catch up with Emperor Qin and Han Wu, and the little Tatars will surely submit to His Majesty's majesty. According to what the slaves said, they won't be able to dance for long."

"Drinking horses in the vast sea, sealing wolves to live in Xu, I will do it one day!"

These historical terms had nothing to do with him in the past, but now he has a chance.

And in some places,

The Han people haven't been there for a long time.
