Chapter 55

In the late December of the seventh year of the Great Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao summoned Lu Xiangsheng, the left servant of the Ministry of War, Liu Ruyu, the seal of the imperial horse supervisor, and Tian Ergeng, the left governor of the Chinese army's governor's office, from the platform. The military reorganization of the officers and soldiers of the Four Guards Battalion.

Originally, most of the laid-off officers and soldiers of the original Beijing Camp and Four Guards Battalion were directly organized into an engineering battalion, but Zhu Youxiao later thought that his Imperial Guard Army, as the first military group of the Ming Dynasty, should also have an engineering battalion.

Therefore, before officially announcing the reorganization plan, Zhu Youxiao ordered Lu Xiangsheng and others to select officers and soldiers with various skills such as carpentry, iron, stone, and blasting from among the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers who were laid off, and reorganize them into the imperial guards. Preparations for the future Praetorian Guards Engineering Battalion.

In addition, officers and soldiers who bandaged wounds, could read, and could speak nonsense were also reorganized into the Imperial Guard, so that they could directly enter the supply camp in the future and set up medical teams, propaganda teams and other logistics support teams.

In this way, the number of Imperial Guards originally planned was increased from [-] to more than [-], and the preliminary training unit was also expanded from five battalions to ten battalions.

But now it is the end of the new year, and people always have to celebrate the new year, so the recruit training can only be postponed until the next year.

A full training of 1 people, even with the assistance of officials who are familiar with military affairs such as Lu Xiangsheng and Liu Ruyu, it is impossible to complete the short-term training of 1 people.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao had to train a group of qualified military officers first, so that when the time came for the training camp, they would directly use these officers and students as the backbone to train the imperial guards.

Therefore, he prepared to call 30 people with higher official positions in the tenth battalion to the palace for a short-term training.

At the same time, Lu Xiangsheng was also canceled by him for a ten-year vacation. Together with Liu Ruyu, the two were invited into the palace by Zhu Youxiao, and they made up a draft of the "Code of Recruits" overnight, planning to choose a place in the palace to deal with these officers. The reason why Zhu Youxiao was chosen to conduct pre-training for students in the palace was because Zhu Youxiao would not spend two days in the Chaotang barracks, so as not to spend more time on the road.

Knowing that His Majesty the Emperor was going to summon him and 29 other officers of the Imperial Guard of different grades into the palace, Chang Yanling, like other officers and students, was a little nervous and excited at first.

They don't know why His Majesty let them enter the palace, and they also know that in the Forbidden City, apart from the emperor, there are only women and disabled men. Now that ten of them have been summoned to the palace, could it be that they were castrated to be eunuchs?
After all, since ancient times, emperors have liked to use their own people to control soldiers, and the emperor's own people are generally eunuchs.

Thinking of this, Chang Yanling felt even more disturbed. Although he thought about serving the emperor and shrouding his body in horse leather, he never thought about becoming an eunuch.

But now that the emperor has issued a decree to let them enter the palace, he has to obey the decree.

After passing through the gates of the vermilion palace wall and arriving at the small courtyard square that is not relatively spacious, the small yellow gate that led them into the palace stopped and said, "You guys wait here first."

The little yellow gate left after saying that, and at this time, the officers and students of the Imperial Guard who were all called into the palace couldn't help whispering.

Among them, Tan Botong, who was originally in charge of the matter, saw Chang Yanling standing beside him, so he bumped Chang Yanling with his elbow: "Brother, tell me, your Majesty will not really make us eunuchs if you let us enter the palace? "

"It's not certain, but the king and ministers have to die. If His Majesty really wants us to be eunuchs, we can't help it. Don't forget how the son-in-law died." Chang Yanling didn't answer, another The bearded man answered.

But at this time, Qin Botong sat down on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I don't want to be a grand historian!"

"Come on, can you compare with Tai Shigong, but when I think about it, I haven't even tasted the taste of a woman in my life, so I have no children and grandchildren, and it's really a loss."

As one person spoke, he leaned on Chang Yanling's back and pretended to wipe away his tears. Chang Yanling pushed the person to the ground. Seeing Oboi standing on the side, he came over and asked, "Brother Please, you are not Han Chinese."

"That's right, I, Oboi, am a Manchu, not a cowardly Han Chinese!"

When Ao Bai said this casually, Qin Botong, who was still squatting on the ground crying just now, immediately stood up and pointed at Ao Bai angrily: "You bastard who is a coward, you only know how to slaughter and loot barbarians, don't come here if you have the ability The territory of our Han people!"

"Why, don't be convinced, why don't you wrestle with me, Oboi, don't look at me with one hand now, and still put down your little boy!"

According to Zhu Youxiao's intention, Obai also joined the Imperial Guard to bring cavalry for himself, so he was also included in the 30 people.

But Oboi never paid attention to these Ming army officers and soldiers who could only hide in the city walls on the battlefield and fled as soon as they fought.

"If you fall, you will fall, whoever is afraid of whom!"

Qin Botong was originally a general of Wei Guogong's mansion, he also had contact with Hu people, but he was also good at wrestling, so he was not afraid of Oboi.

Seeing these two people staring at each other like two mad bulls circling around the square, everyone couldn't help but focus on it, as if they were watching a big show.

However, at this time, Liu Ruyu, the seal of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, had been brought over by Xiao Huangmen.

But he didn't expect these military students to fall down in the palace, so he yelled angrily: "What kind of dignity! Stop it for our family!"

As Liu Ruyu said that, he ran over and grabbed the hands of Aobai and Qin Botong, and they couldn't move.

"Dare to fight in Da Nei, it is really lawless. No wonder His Majesty said that you are all useless people, you should be dragged down first, and you will be punished for thirty boards!"

According to Zhu Youxiao's order, they temporarily belonged to the Hundred Jinyi Guards commanded by Liu Ruyu. The two walked over directly, escorted Ao Bai and Qin Botong to the open space on one side, and knocked them down to the ground, while the other two Jin Yiwei held Three-inch thick boards began to be hit.

However, the two of them were tough enough, in order not to let the other party underestimate them, they insisted on not yelling.

After a round of board playing, Liu Ruyu came over and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Ao Bai didn't say a word, Qin Botong still forced out a smile: "Back to the father-in-law, the beating is too light, it's like a tickle."

"Dead duck has a tough mouth!"

Liu Ruyu snorted and said to the 30 people: "Remember now, this is the palace, not your own home. If you stand here for a moment in normal times, it would be a capital offense. Now His Majesty regards you as talents , to train you in the forbidden palace specially, you should cherish this opportunity instead of coming here to mess around!"

Liu Ruyu shouted loudly after speaking:
"Remember, from today to the next month, all your eating, drinking, and messing around will be in this yard!

No one is allowed to step out of here!
Do not fight, cause trouble, gamble and drink, and anyone who disobeys will be shot! "

Liu Ruyu clapped his hands as he spoke.

Immediately, countless brocade guards appeared on the wall, holding bows and crossbows, and each of the 30 people couldn't help but tense, and they didn't dare to say anything.

"Understood?" Liu Ruyu asked.

"understood."

"Speak up! Didn't you eat!"

"Understood!"

When Liu Ruyu saw these young officers, most of them in their twenties and thirties, shouting, they couldn't help but secretly smiled, thinking that it's a good thing His Majesty expected this, otherwise he wouldn't be able to subdue these gangs on the first day dude.

 After checking the literature records, during the reign of Tianqi, the actual number of soldiers in the Beijing Camp was only 600, and the number of soldiers in the Four Guards Battalion was 8000 per battalion, which was more than [-]. More than [-] people, the protagonist selected more than [-] people from them, which actually lowered the requirements. In addition, [-] people were trained at one time. As a traverser, Zhu Youxiao could not personally train them to complete the modern infantry drills, so he had to let Lu Xiang be promoted first. Let's train a few military cadets, let's show them face to face, who calls him an emperor, if ordinary people only recruit a hundred people, they can also train by themselves.There is also the early medical treatment, which was added unintentionally when I wrote it at the time. It can be regarded as a flaw, so don’t worry about it. I have to write [-] words every day, and it is difficult to achieve every word.
