Daming: I was exposed by Zhu Di's Sims life!

Chapter 131 Troop Training, Qi Palace Guards

King Han was a little confused.

He didn't understand what King Qi was planning.

Since the morning of "asking King Qi about the seven deadly crimes" that day, King Qi went to Songlu Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing and began to train his two palace guards.

Fairy!
I'm here thinking about how to bring you down, but you should respond, what do you mean by drilling into the mountains?

It would be impossible for King Han to fix this, but now he doesn't care so much about what kind of stupid King Qi is doing. He has other things to do - seize power!
Since Chen Jin, the censor of the right capital, was beheaded by Zhu Gaoxuan in the Fengtian Temple in April of the 11th year of Yongle, all the censors left and right of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were empty, and the dragons had no leader.So the emperor promoted Liu Guan, a member of the princeling party, to be the censor of the left capital. After taking office, Liu Guan was also fierce enough to go all out to suppress the Hanwang Party in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Now that Zheng Zhichang was promoted to the censor of the right capital, the King of Han wanted to regain his power in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Today's party struggle had become a struggle between the King of Han and the prince, and the battlefield was the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Zheng Zhichang suddenly became a representative of the Hanwang party. The Hanwang put all his hopes on this person, and wanted to use this person to suppress the power of the prince and King Qi.It is naturally impossible for Zheng Zhichang to be the censor of the right capital alone. The King of Han is bold enough to use all the followers of the King of Han in the court to revolve around Zheng Zhichang. Desperately suppress each other.

In just one month, the Hanwang Party has already mowed down more than a dozen middle-level officials of the princeling party, as well as two relatives belonging to the Qiwang Party.

On the court hall, the blood of the murdered people flowed like rivers.

……

The suburbs of Beijing, Songlu Mountain.

"My lord, is my marksmanship accurate?"

"What do you think?"

"I think it's pretty accurate."

"What the hell, are all eight generations of your ancestors genetically blind?"

"My lord, can you respect me a little bit? It's really hurtful to talk like this."

"What the hell, all eight generations of your ancestors are genetically blind?"

"..."

Zhu Gaoxuan was so angry that he got two hundred brand-new muskets from the Armory Division of the Ministry of War, and equipped them with his two guards in Songlu Mountain, but the result disappointed him—the weapons were all right, but the people were not. .

It was not easy to get these two hundred muskets from the Armory Division. The Arsenal Division was recognized as one of the four big fat jobs in the Six Departments.The four fat jobs are: the Department of Literature Selection of the Ministry of Officials, the Department of Examinations of the Ministry of Officials, the Department of Military Selection of the Ministry of War, and the Department of Library Selection of the Ministry of War.

As an errand in these four departments, the less work you get, the more you get. Now these four departments are all under the control of the prince. Zhu Gaoxuan opened up various channels, and even coaxed and deceived him to get two hundred muskets.

The fire door gun evolved from the sudden fire gun of the Southern Song Dynasty. The Southern Song Dynasty had a straight barrel structure, and the internal rifling was not designed to be a smooth bore structure. However, the fire gun of the Ming Dynasty began to be improved, and the straight barrel was changed from the barrel mouth to the chamber. The enlarged shape and further optimized design have achieved a more reasonable structure.

Through these optimizations, the development of firecrackers has made a qualitative leap in Ming Dynasty, and various firecrackers have been derived, such as handguns for individual soldiers, large-bowl muzzle guns, cup-mouth guns, and three-eyed guns for city defense and water warfare. Gun and so on.

In Europe on the other side of the world, after the acquisition of muskets and black powder, iron guns also appeared in Italy at almost the same time.

The Huomen guns of the Ming Dynasty and Europe have almost the same design idea, and when they are used, two people are generally required to operate them, and they are responsible for aiming and igniting the fire respectively.

However, in combat and under the general concept of cavalry combat at that time, the Huomen gun had the problems of low hit rate, troublesome operation, and low firing efficiency. However, for the contemporary countries of the world, the firearms of the Ming Dynasty were undoubtedly quite advanced.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, after the Manchurian cavalry entered the Central Plains, for more than 200 years, the development of firearms still retained the technology of the Ming Dynasty, without any progress or even signs of regression.

Therefore, when Europe was upgrading and optimizing matchlock guns and developing more advanced weapons, China remained stagnant and even closed its doors until the Qing Dynasty was knocked open by more advanced foreign guns and cannons, leaving a humiliating history of nearly a century in modern times .

……

Zhu Gaoyi knew that his two palace guards were useless, but what he didn't expect was that these two guards were even more useless than he imagined.

Nine out of ten shots miss the target, and the one that does hit is pure luck.

"Stop it!"

Zhu Gaoxuan waved his hand, his face livid, "Chi Rong, put away all the muskets!"

What a bunch of trash, letting the muskets be used by these palace guards is a waste of things!
Chi Rong directed the people to take the musket back to the warehouse, walked over and asked: "My lord, let's forget it."

He didn't say so, but he was already showing disappointment.

Up to now, there are no more brave palace guards like those in the Hongwu Dynasty.In the Hongwu Dynasty, the vassal kings guarding the borders of Xu and defending the country were all elites who came out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood on the battlefield. When Zhu Di raised his troops, the eight hundred guards of the Yan Palace beat down the country.During the Yongle Dynasty, the prince's guards were constantly weakened. The main reason was that the emperor feared the prince because he himself was the emperor who rebelled against the prince.

The guards of Prince Qi's Mansion are all forced out of his mother's wine bags and rice bags. These people may not know how to fight the enemy, but they are definitely good at greedy for military pay and pleasure. This is not an army, it is clearly a green skin!

Zhu Gaorong was able to gain a foothold in the court, relying on the support of his relatives and his prestige in the army, but the guards of his Prince Qi's mansion were all useless waste!

If this gets out, Prince Qi's Mansion will become a joke in the entire capital!

"Last year, the Northern Expedition was in a hurry. Although I accompanied the driver, I did not bring any guards with me. But when the Emperor thinks about the Northern Expedition again, am I going to fight with these disgraceful waste?" Zhu Gaoxuan said in a deep voice, "This king is now a general. The military representatives supported by the honored cavalry cannot hide these palace guards for a lifetime, no matter what, this king has to train the palace guards to be elite!"

Zhu Gaoxuan's eyes were sharp: "These palace guards are not lacking in equipment, let alone muskets, even if I equip them with the best armor, the best horses, and the best weapons, they still lose the battle! "

It is true, how bad is the equipment of the guards of King Qi's Mansion?

This is completely festering mentality. These people don't think they are soldiers anymore. If their status as guards of the palace is revoked, they dare to find a ravine as a bandit!
Zhu Gaoxuan took a deep breath, and said viciously: "Chi Rong, lead them in formation!"

"How does the prince want to practice?" Chi Rong asked.

Every army has its own training method. The [-] battalions led by Chi Rong before, the most elite soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, only need to shout, and the soldiers will quickly gather.

Letting him lead such an "iron waste army" now would be impossible for Chi Rong.

Is this worth practicing?

Zhu Gaoxuan said decisively: "Twenty people make a team, and a hundred people make a group. You don't need to practice anything else, just let them play goose steps."

Chi Rong was a little confused: "What is going forward?"

……

Zhu Gaoxuan explained to Chirong for a long time, and then demonstrated it in person, and Chirong suddenly realized.

Although I don't know what the goose step is for, since it was the order of the prince, Chi Rong began to direct and train the soldiers to start practicing.

At the beginning, the soldiers kicked into pieces and became a mess, they didn't take it seriously, they just complained that their prince was looking for trouble.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Gaoxuan waved Chi Rong to stop training, and walked to the front of the soldiers with a blank expression.

He was too lazy to talk nonsense, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, hear clearly here!"

"You may think that this king is asking you to engage in useless training. I don't care. I just want to tell you one thing. Those who fail to pass the training will be expelled from the ranks of the palace guards. Where did they come from? Where did they come from?" Go back! The guards of Prince Qi's Mansion, don't worry about not being able to recruit soldiers!"

After the voice fell, the barracks fell silent for an instant.

The guards of Prince Qi's Mansion are much more lucrative than ordinary local troops, and no one is willing to leave.How much is the monthly salary of the palace guards, but how much is the monthly salary of the local army?
For these scumbags, threats are far more practical than reasoning.

The sergeants obediently obeyed the orders, practiced the goose step, and after they settled down, they looked much better.

There is no threshold for going forward, they just didn't want to do it before.But with Zhu Gaoxuan's threat, they became more serious. After all, no one is willing to give up the position of guarding the palace.

……

The scorching sun stood above the blue sky, and the sergeants chanted the slogan "one two one" and circled the camp for training, and the heels of their shoes landed on the ground and made a sound of 咵咵咵.

Sitting beside Zhu Gaoxuan, Chi Rong asked in bewilderment: "My lord, what's the use of letting them goose, these wastes are already rotten to the bone."

"It's because they are rotten to the bone, so we have to start from the most basic training to make them reborn." Zhu Gaoxuan said lightly, "Going forward is not to train their bodies, but to beat their military spirits."

The goose step was originally used by the Prussian army on parades in the early 19th century.Later, it was imitated in the armies of many countries, but the specific postures are different, generally divided into German, British, Soviet and other types.

In 1857, Mr. Engels analyzed the reasons for the victory and defeat of the Prussian-Austrian War in his article "Army" and pointed out that "the main reason why the Prussian army was able to defeat the Austrian army is that the Prussian army has a neat formation, a vigorous pace, and a brave attack. Assemble quickly."

The seemingly useless goose step allows the corrupt soldiers guarding the palace to rectify military discipline unconsciously. This is the beginning and the most important step in shaping the military spirit.

An army without military discipline is nothing but rubbish after all.

Chi Rong smiled: "Only these people, can they have military souls?"

"I'll let them have it, it's just a matter of time, anyway, I've been free for the past two years, and it's not a loss to change to a top-level army in two years," Zhu Gaoxuan said.
