The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 199 The military prestige of the Ming Dynasty spread far and wide at home and abroad

The emperor has twelve personal guards, and each guard has an official establishment of 600 people.

The twelve personal guards are naturally full, but there are only more than 35 people who meet Zhu Ying's requirements, and the rest are all over [-] years old.

It can be seen from this that the guards are basically veterans, even those who are relatively young, and they have been fighting with Zhu Yuanzhang since they were more than ten years old.

As the emperor's personal guard, he is naturally the most elite and loyal soldier in all the guards.

The Daming Palace, behind the Chunhe Palace, next to the site of the former Fengtian Palace.

There is a large enough open space here, and nearly 2 people are here, and it doesn't feel crowded.

The 45 phalanxes were lined up here, and in front of all the soldiers, there was a temporary high platform, which was enough for even the soldiers at the back to clearly see the high platform.

Just like that, Zhu Ying stood on the high platform and looked down at the nearly [-] soldiers below.

There is no sun-shading canopy on the high platform, but it is completely exposed.

At this time, the sun has risen high, approaching noon.

Zhu Yunqi came to the square early in the morning, and was soon greeted by the coach, and then assigned to the frontmost square team to start lining up.

Zhu Yunqi noticed that besides himself, he had many acquaintances, and these people were all princes and grandchildren, and even many county kings who were in their teens were among them.

Like Zhu Yunqi, all these princes and grandchildren have received Zhu Yuanzhang's decree to come here to participate in the training.

They don't know anything but drills.

When they came, they were quickly greeted by instructors, and they were not wearing royal costumes, but ordinary military uniforms.

There are 350 people in a square team, arranged according to height, and the interval is within half a meter.

Each team has two coaches.

These coaches were selected by Zhu Ying from the Xuanjia Guards to be the most outstanding beings, and they were responsible for leading the team's training.

And today's first lesson is to stand in a military posture.

All the instructors began to teach them one by one how to stand, the requirements for standing, and the standards for standing.

It was not until more than an hour passed that all the square teams rehearsed and began to stand in a military posture.

"Isn't it just standing? What's the big deal? Who can't stand?"

This is the thinking of most soldiers, and it is also the thinking of the princes and grandchildren including Zhu Yunqi.

They thought it was a scary drill, but it turned out to be teaching them how to stand.

How difficult is this.

Standing on the high platform, Zhu Ying watched the movement of the army in front of him, standing just like them.

He knew, especially for the Ming elite, don't underestimate their endurance.

This is not the case during the military training of the later generations. The students with thin skin and tender flesh are completely incomparable in terms of physical fitness. Even a commoner who sells vegetables can carry the burden for dozens of miles.

Not to mention elite soldiers.

Therefore, in order to ensure the effect of the military posture, Zhu Ying didn't set a time for his mistakes, so he just stood there until he couldn't bear it.

Even a scholar like Zhu Yunqi can hold on for half an hour.

However, after an hour passed, most people's legs and feet began to feel weak.

Soon, the princes and grandchildren standing in the front row were the first to be unable to bear it.

"I don't want to do such a boring drill."

A prince muttered and sat down on the ground. Perhaps because of the decree, he didn't leave.

Someone took the lead, and soon the second and third came out.

These people who appear now are all princes and grandchildren, and the personal guards are not so weak.

Zhu Ying saw it clearly, but she didn't speak, nor did she pick them up, but just continued to stand quietly.

Two hours, that is, four hours later, more than ninety-nine percent of the soldiers are basically still standing, but it can be seen that most of them have found it difficult to maintain.

As for the princes and grandchildren, almost the entire army was wiped out, only two of them still gritted their teeth and persisted.

One is Zhu Quan, the seventeenth prince who has not yet been crowned king.

Zhu Ying was not surprised that Zhu Quan was able to persist, but what surprised him was another person, Zhu Yunqi.

After reading it several times, Zhu Ying was sure that she was not dazzled.

The emperor who only reigned for four years in history, the only emperor who was successfully rebelled by the vassal king, Zhu Yunwen.

He actually persisted for four hours.

It's really hard to believe.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhu Ying waved her right hand, and immediately the flag bearer next to her began to play flags.

Now that there is no loudspeaker, don't expect nearly 2 people to hear your lectures, even if you break your throat, it will be useless.

Banners are the best choice.

Seeing the flag bearer playing the semaphore, the instructors who stood beside the square team in a military posture immediately shouted: "Sit down and rest."

Resting doesn't mean being able to walk around at will, but just sitting in place and slowly recovering your strength.

Anyone who whispered and whispered would immediately be reprimanded loudly by the coach.

As for the princes and grandchildren, most of them have no one to communicate with.

Zhu Ying did not line them up together, but inserted them into each square.

A total of less than forty princes and grandchildren came, basically only one person in each square team, cutting off their communication opportunities.

Just like that, when one person sits down while everyone else is standing, it can easily lead to shame.

The princes and grandsons who had sat down before stood up obediently after not sitting for long.

For them, the coaches acted as if they hadn't seen them.

Most of the personal guards here are of course very familiar with the princes and grandchildren who have lived in Ouchi for a long time, so they just pretend they haven't seen them.

After a quarter of an hour, with the flag bearer waving the semaphore, the instructors began to order all the soldiers to stand up and start free training.

The square team was arranged by Zhu Ying according to the military parade of later generations.

There are 25 people in the front, fourteen rows in depth, and two teachers and assistants.

In addition to the instructor, there is a small instructor in each row.

These little coaches were also selected from the Xuanjia Guards to lead the Imperial Guards to conduct drills.

Distinguishing between left and right, walking forward, and how to maintain formation are basic training.

This kind of basic training will be the training content of the whole day for everyone except breakfast, lunch and dinner.

This time, Zhu Ying did not introduce herself.

Almost all the imperial guards knew about his existence, let alone the Xuanjia guards.

Except for Zhu Quan and Zhu Yunqi, the other princes and grandchildren basically looked confused.

When the morning training was finished and lunch started, Zhu Ying had already left.

He no longer needs to lead the team to train himself. The coaches from the Xuanjiawei will train these 'new recruits' hard according to the previous training method.

"How about grandpa, after watching it all morning, did you realize anything?"

Standing at the left door behind the hall, Zhu Ying asked the old man with a smile.

"The way is as simple as it is. It is only now that we have truly understood this truth. Dasun's practice method is very simple for anyone."

"It's such a simple method, repeated constantly, so that the soldiers can really remember that if the robes cooperate with each other, they can achieve great success."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said that after the early court, Zhu Yuanzhang did not review the memorials, but came directly to watch the grandson practice the soldiers, blatantly stealing lessons.

Seeing the soldiers eating after disbanding, they returned to the house.

"Grandpa is right. From my grandson's point of view, personal bravery in war is really not worth mentioning in front of united combat."

"How to bring out everyone's strength and develop a higher fighting spirit is the foundation of this training method."

"It's either grandson talking big, or King Kaiping is alive. One person is no more than ten brave. In front of the soldiers who absolutely obey military discipline, there is nothing that can stop them."

Zhu Yingying was very proud.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised to hear that Dasun was not a proud person, on the contrary he was even a little too modest.

Why are you so proud of training soldiers.

Of course Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know that this pride did not come from Zhu Ying himself, but from later generations' understanding of soldiers.

During the conversation between the grandfather and grandson, it seemed that those princes and grandchildren who were complaining endlessly were forgotten.

Both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ying fought a bloody path with their hands. In the eyes of the two, this kind of drill is not worth mentioning, so they are too lazy to take care of it.

Unlike other periods, when Zhu Yuanzhang was here, the descendants of the royal family, except for some who were really weak, were pretty good.

At least he will not disobey the orders of the coaches as a royal family.

"It's not difficult for Dasun to do these drills. How long will it take for the soldiers to take shape." Zhu Yuanzhang said with some expectation.

The Xuanjiawei I saw in the military camp on the outskirts of the city before, but after training for twelve days, they are already so mighty.

In this area, Zhu Yuanzhang is also a little impatient.

"Grandpa, don't worry, these soldiers are more elite. According to my grandson, they should be able to complete the initial training in seven days."

Zhu Ying estimated and said.

"Okay, let's wait for seven days to see the military power of the Ming Dynasty that our grandson has cultivated."

"At that time, we will gather all civil and military officials to enjoy it together from Fengtian Square."

Zhu Yuanzhang said excitedly.

Of course, when these soldiers are trained, they are meant to be seen by others, not only for the ministers, but also for the people of the world.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang urged: "Let's issue an edict at that time, and let all the tribute envoys in Tianjie Temple come here."

"We just look forward to the soldiers trained by Dasun to spread the might of the Ming army, far and wide at home and abroad."
