eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 390 Shenwuwei

Zhang Yong came back suddenly.

Liu Jin can ignore other people, but not him.

For this reason, I also took out a bottle of vintage daughter red. When the lid was opened, the aroma of wine overflowed in the room.

"Good stuff?" Zhang Yong was also drooling.

"Of course it's a good thing!" Liu Jin put the wine glass in order, "Come on, my brother will fill it up for you."

Zhang Yong lifted his butt off the stool, "How dare you...?"

"Hey." Liu Jin pushed away his blocking hand, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, have a drink, and you still meet me?"

"Then thank you, Brother Liu."

"polite."

"Today we have less, don't miss it."

"Don't be afraid. You and I know His Majesty's temperament. We get together and have a drink. Even if there is some mistake, it is a small mistake. If we let His Majesty stand on our feet, it will be fine."

There was a touch of pride in Liu Jin's words that he didn't have before.

At least Zhang Yong has never seen it before. In the past, Liu Jin was quite cautious in his impression.

"Where are the other four brothers?"

At the beginning there were eight of them, Wei Bin died, and Gu Dayong was in Zhejiang, and after the two of them were removed, there were only four left.

There are two types of eunuchs in the world, one is the eight people who accompanied His Majesty when he was still the prince, and the other is all the remaining eunuchs.

And the four people mentioned by Zhang Yong,

Ma Yongcheng was listed as the eunuch of Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies,

Qiu Ju's palm prints the official supervisor, Luo Xiang's palm seals the imperial prison, and Gao Feng's palm seals the Shangshan Supervisor.

These are the more important places in the palace.

In terms of loyalty, they are not far behind.

In fact, all the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty knew that the emperor was the lifeblood they lost.

Because they have a natural enemy, that is, the civil servants in the outer court. Those people seem to be kind, but they are actually ruthless. If they don't rely on the emperor, even if it is the seal of the chief inspector, they will be overthrown in an instant.

In Liu Jin's heart, Zhang Yong is a special one.

He has been with His Majesty long enough and close enough, and he has some riding and archery skills. His Majesty trusted him a lot when he was in charge of the Horse Supervisor.

"I'm in a rush today, brother, my daughter's red is not enough for six people to drink, so we can only satisfy our hunger first."

As they spoke, the two brought the wine glass to their noses and sniffed,
Fragrant!

After drinking a glass of wine, Liu Jin started talking.

"Since the 18th year of Hongzhi, His Majesty sent you to the Northwest to supervise the army. We have been together less and more apart. Brothers don't tell lies. You came back so suddenly this time, and you didn't reveal any news to me. Isn't it meaningless?"

Zhang Yong was surprised, "Brother misunderstood. My younger brother didn't think too much about it. He just received the imperial decree and acted according to the rules. Don't you know that your majesty transferred me back to Beijing?"

Liu Jin felt a little strange.

But I didn't think too much about it for a while.

"I'm coming back this time to train a team of Shenwuwei?"

This thing started a few days ago,
Moreover, the emperor himself was quite interested in this matter. What is particularly impressive is that when the soldiers stood in line under the scorching sun and went forward to be inspected and selected one by one, the emperor on the side was the same as them. Get into the shade.

Just from this point, it can be seen that the young emperor is different from ordinary people.

Shenwuwei does not require 600 people. In fact, there is no specific requirement on the number. If 509 people are selected at the end, then it will be 509. If it is 1882, it will be 1882.
To put it bluntly, Shenwuwei wants everyone as one as ten, and will never want one more unqualified person for any reason.

This is the real elite of the elite.

While they were drinking, Zhu Houzhao was still thinking about Shenwuwei,

He found Wang Ting of the Taipusi, and Wang Ting felt a little difficult after hearing a few words.
Because His Majesty wants to equip Shenwuwei with horses, and they are the strongest horses.

"The war horses in various gardens in the northwest have been pre-purchased by Mr. Yang Ge. Now there are only 1000 Shenwu Guards. According to the low ratio of one man with two horses, two thousand war horses are needed. Your Majesty... If you want to do it In this way... I implore Your Majesty to give me some time."

"How long do you need?"

"One year... no, half a year."

"That is until the beginning of the second year of Zhengde."

Wang Zhi breathed out a turbid breath, "Yes, I will do my best."

"It's not about doing your best. Either you can do it, or you can't do it, just these two. Even if you say you can't do it, I don't want to embarrass you. There is no big war right now, and a year is fine. But don't say ambiguous words. "

"Then..." Wang Ting thought for a while and was more conservative, "Eight months, Taipu Temple can hand over two thousand strong horses after eight months."

Zhu Houzhao nodded,

At present, the Ming Dynasty lacks horses, which is also impossible.

If the number of people selected by Shenwuwei exceeds [-], then the indicator of 'one man and two horses' can only be sacrificed.Anyway, use it first if you live.

In fact, not only horses,

Zhu Houzhao also wanted to equip the soldiers of this guard with the best black armor, so that even if there were only 1000 soldiers, they would be able to run amok without hindrance.

As he touches the interests of more and more people, some preparations should still be made.In case his reform measures really aroused someone to rebel, with such an elite black armor, it would be safer.

That's why he cared so much about it.

Back then, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty had an extremely sharp Xuanjia army, which was basically invincible, even when encountering nomads who were good at riding and shooting.

That baby, every man wants to have it.

Zhu Houzhao is a man.

However, he was an emperor in a peaceful era, and he was not born in a world of great controversy, so probably the number is not much, and it is not necessary, after all, it is expensive.

But [-], there must be something, right?
This thing is like an aircraft carrier,
At that time, no matter where there is something, he can also ask: Where is my black-armored elite!send them there!
In the current process, Zhang Yong has selected more than 100 people, all of whom are roughly similar in size and shape, and most of them are known for their bravery in the camp on weekdays.

Zhu Houzhao has an impression of a few of them, but how can more than 100 people remember them?
Even the information materials handed over could not be understood, and he didn't want to just swallow the past like this. Other things can be sloppy, but this is not.

So I called Xie Pi from the attendant's room and ordered: "Collect all the materials of these more than 100 people. Each person should make a separate file, and the detailed information in it must be included. If it is incomplete, it will be sent to you at that time." Go ask them themselves. After everything is done, put it in the file in the attendant's room, and if there is any change in the information such as meritorious deeds and punishment, it will be added."

at the end,

The emperor added another sentence, "Unless I allow you to read the personal files of Shenwuwei soldiers, no one is allowed to read them without authorization. Anyone who violates them will be beheaded!"

"Yes!"

Xie Pi was actually a little excited. The emperor attached so much importance to it, which shows that this matter is still very important. Of course it is good to give it to him now.

In fact, Jin Gui was more suitable, but Xie Pi is not useless. He is a champion after all, so it is not a problem to do some basic work of information sorting.

It's just that the quantity is really big.

First of all, Zhu Houzhao gave him a template for soldier files, including name, age, place of origin, biography, family status, employment status, and rewards and punishments.

Then Xie Pi listed the files of these more than 100 people first. The current information is only the name and place of origin, and the rest is just like the emperor said, and he will call people over to supplement it later.

After everything is done,
Zhu Houzhao began to think about suitable generals in the military academy.

After thinking about it, he thought of the man who became famous in the battle of Qianniubao. In the 18th year of Hongzhi, Zhu Houzhao met him once and found that he was really good. Later, he was sent to the military academy to study, just hoping to wash his hands. His brain let him know what is meant by the Han nationality and what is meant by expelling the Tartars.

It will be a year now.

So let people go to announce,
On the second day, the eunuch led the man directly to the scene of Shenwuwei's selection.
"Li Guan, the last general, see Your Majesty!"

Oh, Zhu Houzhao just remembered his name. This is a [-]-foot man with a powerful spear. He defeated the Mongolian warriors captured in the Battle of Huamachi.

Remember, there is also a doll named Han Twelve Lang.

"Zhang Yong."

"The servant is here."

The emperor pointed to the man with a strong face in front of him, "This man's name is Li Guan, and he is currently a student of the Military Academy. What do you think?"

When Zhang Yong heard about the military academy, he must be the emperor's direct descendant.

"You can be the commander of Shenwuwei!"

"No." Zhu Houzhao wanted to play tricks, "Shenwuwei is the elite selected by the first-level guards. The number is rare, and everyone can be a general. If you want to be its commander, you need others to be convinced."

To put it bluntly, the large army is mainly based on military tactics, and an army of the size of Shenwuwei depends to a certain extent on the force of a single individual.

"The general is willing to accept their challenge!"

"If you lose, you can't be a commander, so don't blame me."

"Skills are not as good as people, what complaints do you have?"

"Your Majesty!" A man on the other side knelt down on one knee and reported, "If you defeat him, can you be a commander?"

"No way, if you beat him, there will be others who will challenge you. And you can't fight with wheels," Zhu Houzhao thought about it, and asked, "Among these people, not many have attended military academy, right?"

After all, it is rare for warriors to study patiently.

"Commanders must be literate, otherwise I won't be able to understand the letters I wrote. The basic requirement is to go to the military academy. Those who meet this condition can challenge General Xu. The limit is three people per day. If there is any injury, it will be discussed separately. place."

When the emperor said this, many people died down.

That can't be helped, you won't recognize anyone who tells you to write.

In fact, Zhu Houzhao's purpose was to limit the candidates for commanders to the students of the military academy, but he didn't say it so blatantly.

"I come!"

A bearded man stepped out.

These are all vigorous people, and they all have some confidence in their boxing skills. If they haven't seen Zhenzhang under their hands, they may not be convinced.

Zhu Hou said in his heart that it looks good now.

Regardless of other places, in Shenwuwei, he wants to emphasize personal force.
