The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 380 Even His Majesty Got Up

Before dawn, Xuanjiawei's barracks was already neatly filled with all the soldiers.

On the general stage, Pan Rong, Wu Hai, Dong Quan, Zhang Zuo, and Cao Bing stood side by side.

The five people are the five thousand households that Xuanjiawei is mainly in charge of.

Among the five people, there is no saying that anyone has a higher or lower status, and Zhu Ying is directly in command.

And in the five-person room, there is also a ranking.

Counting from left to right, the one who ranks first has slightly more right to speak among the five.

This ranking is not fixed, but at the end of each month, there will be an army exercise. Whoever leads the team and wins the first place will naturally stand in the leftmost position.

Currently standing on the far left is Dong Quan.

Among these five people, except for Cao Bing who is the son of Cao Zhen, the other four were all former generals under Lan Yu's command.

After being recommended, Zhu Ying didn't have any hesitation or hesitation, and directly accepted it as a thousand households, which seemed to be directly regarded as a confidant training.

Of course, the warriors recommended by Lan Yu, including Cao Bing, are not of the easy-going generation.

It can almost be said that they are the five most outstanding among Sapphire's descendants.

Whether it is military talent or bravery in combat, they are all outstanding, and they are not purely related.

On this point, Sapphire is also very particular, because those who know that they have been in contact with Taisun can understand that people like Taisun will only engage in nepotism and tricks in front of him. It is self-defeating.

A self-made grandson who ruled the Western Regions, no one can dare to fool him casually.

Even though Cao Bing is indeed related to Cao Zhen, Cao Bing is one of the best among all the descendants of Huaixi nobles, and even all the descendants of all the military generals in Ming Dynasty.

Not only does he not have the temperament of any second-generation children, but he has a strong military talent.

It is said that Cao Bing is a thousand households in Xuanjiawei, but Cao Zhen doesn't even know the situation of Xuanjiawei, which sounds a little strange.

In fact, since entering the Xuanjia Guard, almost no one has the qualifications to rest.

Since the establishment of Xuanjiawei in March, it has always adopted closed management, and it has been practicing continuously every day, and there is no one day's rest.

Anyone who cannot accept it will be directly eliminated from the Xuanjiawei.

But those who can come to Xuanjiawei, even if it is the smallest soldier, are extremely outstanding among all the soldiers. These various qualities are comparable to those of Xiaolingwei.

Although it is very bitter and difficult, so far, no one has been eliminated, only reaching the standard and being promoted.

The so-called promotion means that the officers and men under one hundred households are directly promoted to other guards to serve as one hundred households, but in the eyes of the members of Xuanjiawei, it is no different from being kicked out.

Because this quota is not given to the most outstanding one in each team, but only the bottom one will go out to serve as the hundred households.

Almost everyone is working hard to stay.

"Brother Dong, let me tell you a few words. Last month's competition, you were the best."

Wu Hai next to him said with a smile.

The night is filled with darkness, the cold wind is howling, and there are only torches swaying in the wind, giving light.

The soldiers below were like sculptures, standing still without making any sound.

Hearing this, Dong Quan hesitated for a moment, then waved his hands and said, "Otherwise, I'd better let Brother Bin talk about it. We these bastards don't deserve Brother Bin to be very knowledgeable."

As soon as these words came out, the other two also nodded in agreement.

Although Cao Bing was the youngest among the five, he had a lot of reading since he was a child. Compared with the few who grew up in the military camp, he was naturally much better.

Seeing this, Cao Bing didn't delay, and after thanking him with a clasped fist, he took a step forward.

"Today is a very important day for Xuanjiawei and I. You must have heard that His Royal Highness Taisun will lead the commanders of the 36 guards around the capital and the generals of the five armies to observe us. Today's military exercise."

"It has been a hundred days since Xuanjiawei was established. In the past hundred days, I have noticed every brother. His Royal Highness Taisun gave us the best treatment, three meals a day, and every meal. , Take a lot and keep your fill."

"Naturally, none of us brethren is a coward. Even if we practiced until we fainted, none of us retreated."

"Hundred days of hard training, today is the time for testing. Whether you can give His Royal Highness a face, whether you can reflect all the drills, depends on your results today."

"Don't let us down, and don't let His Highness Taisun down either."

There were no loud roars, no eager shouts, and no neat and loud slogans.

Cao Bing's voice echoed in the darkness, and more than [-] people were as quiet as a sleeping lion.

If you listen carefully, you can hear heavy panting, and if you look carefully, there is a fiery look in the eyes of each soldier.

Day and night drills, as well as reading and literacy every night, made these soldiers not only extremely strong, but anyone who took it out could stand alone.

After Cao Bing finished speaking, he glanced at the soldiers who couldn't see clearly in the pitch-dark audience, and waved his hand.

Boom boom boom! ! !

The footsteps of all the soldiers began to resound. According to the usual practice, they were divided into five teams and began to practice, or to say: warm up.

In the palace at the moment.

"Grandpa, you don't need to go in such cold weather." Zhu Ying said helplessly.

He proposed to take all the commanders and envoys to watch the Xuanjiawei military exercise, but he didn't expect that the old man would also go with him today.

"Why, we can't go see it yet." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Zhu Ying could only reply: "Grandpa can see it naturally, but it's just in the outskirts of the city, and it's the current weather, my grandson is afraid that grandpa will catch the cold."

Zhu Yuanzhang patted the eldest grandson on the shoulder and said: "We know you are filial, but we are not some old guy who can't move his legs. Our bones are stiff. These wind and cold are nothing."

"Furthermore, we always heard Jin Yiwei say how powerful your Xuanjiawei is. This time, at least, we also opened our eyes and saw with our own eyes what kind of majestic appearance the soldiers trained by our eldest grandson look like."

Hearing this, Zhu Ying naturally couldn't have any reason to refuse.

However, he asked instead: "That morning."

Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Originally we planned to send an edict directly to Duanmen, and let them follow us to your Xuanjiawei to have a look, but I thought about it in my heart, these old guys among civil servants are far worse than us."

"If you really want to get all the people there, tomorrow a group will lie on the bed and won't be able to get out, then there's no need, so let's forget it."

Zhu Ying was slightly surprised when she heard this.

Because this is not Zhu Yuanzhang.

When will the old man care about the life and death of civil servants.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang's transformation has a lot to do with Zhu Ying.

The tyranny and murder in the past were caused by many aspects.

The first three major cases, such as the Hu Weiyong case, were inevitable results, because the prime minister had too much power, and had vaguely overwhelmed the imperial power.

How could a person like Zhu Yuanzhang accept such a situation? Naturally, he would kill them all.

As for the empty seal case, it was a provocation against the imperial power by middle-level officials, and Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he had been deceived.

Needless to say about the Guo Huan case, the reason why it was so widely involved was that Zhu Yuanzhang took the opportunity to sweep up corrupt officials across the Ming Dynasty.

At Zhu Ying's place, the ones that should be killed have been almost killed, and the ones that should be dealt with have basically been dealt with.

It's just that Empress Ma passed away earlier, and her grandson died suddenly, so over the years, because of excessive longing, her personality has become more extreme, irritable, and explosive.

Coupled with government affairs, the spirit is always tense, and it's really just a matter of time.

He also encountered the death of the prince Zhu Biao. It can be said that he lost his wife and grandson in middle age, and lost his son in old age.

The appearance of Zhu Ying was really a big surprise for Zhu Yuanzhang.

The most beloved eldest grandson is back, and he is still so good, handling government affairs, rectifying the military, filling the treasury, all aspects are very good, especially in the country's wealth, he is much better than himself.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang's originally tense mind gradually relax, and he had a new sustenance in his heart.

There is no doubt that Zhu Yuanzhang's physical foundation is very sufficient.

In history, even at that level, he still lived to the 31st year of Hongwu and died at the age of 71.

In this era of Ming Dynasty, everyone lived extremely long.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang, under Zhu Ying's careful care, coupled with the change of mental state, his body is naturally healthier.

Just a few days ago, there was news from the harem that the beauty Zhang Xuanmiao was pregnant with a dragon seed.

In October of this year, Zhu Ying will add a little uncle, or maybe a little aunt.

With peace of mind, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally did not have such a strict mind, coupled with the great grandson's consideration for the ministers, and the holding of the Duanmen breakfast, Zhu Yuanzhang also changed a little.

At this time, in Duanmen, when I heard that His Majesty pityed the minister for his infirmity, he didn't need to follow him to watch the military exercise.

Many old ministers were grateful and thanked His Majesty Long En.

Many of these ministers have experienced the dark period of the Hongwu Dynasty. After more than ten or even twenty years of darkness, such a ray of dawn is really moving to them.

There is a charcoal brazier inside, which is extremely warm.

Zhu Ying raised her hand to open the jade curtain of the window, and looked at the many governors who followed on horseback, Tong Zhi, Qian Shi, and the commanders of the guards, her eyes flickered.

"Dasun, is this the demeanor of our Ming generals?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

Zhu Ying shook her head and said, "What my grandson sees is the manifestation of the generals who have more than enough heart but not enough strength."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, but he relaxed it soon.

Liu He next to him shuddered and panicked, and hurriedly added some charcoal to the brazier.

The royal charcoal is made of special trees. Not only does it have no peculiar smell when it is burned, but it also has a pleasant smell like aromatherapy, which has the effect of calming the mind and calming the breath.

Especially when it is first burned, the aroma is particularly strong.

Liu He naturally didn't dare to disturb and interrupt, so he could only work on these trivial matters.

Mainly His Highness Taisun's words, it's too scary.

What this means is that those generals are all old and can't do it anymore.

But those generals were from the same era as His Majesty. When His Majesty frowned, Liu He's heart rose.

Isn't this an insinuation that His Majesty is old?

How can a person as talented as His Majesty be obedient to old age? This is a big taboo.

Zhu Ying's sentimental expression seemed to trigger a small crisis, but this crisis disappeared under Zhu Yuanzhang's smile.

If it's someone else, it's natural to peel off the skin and pretend to be grass, if it's the grandson, of course it's a laugh.

"What other ideas does Dasun have?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked without the slightest concern.

Zhu Ying replied calmly: "Sun'er feels that if the army wants to maintain efficient combat capabilities, the main direction is to develop younger."

"As the saying goes, when a master is beaten to death with random punches, a person's physical strength will gradually decline after reaching the peak in his 40s. Even with rich combat experience, personal physical strength is already difficult to maintain."

"As the generals get older, the most important thing is to gain valuable battlefield experience. The grandson's military school has not improved much so far."

"So I thought, let these older generals, in the form of semi-retirement, no longer work hard, but pass on their life experience to the new generation of soldiers through teaching."

"In this way, the soldiers of our Ming Dynasty will be passed on through succession, and will last for a long time. Not only can we maintain efficient combat power, but we can also have rich experience."

The three major halls have been established for a long time.

However, in fact, it has never been really developed, as if it only has a name.

For example, the agricultural school is almost supported by Zhu Wei alone, not to mention the craftsman school, which is all dealing with matters related to matchlock guns.

The military school has only made progress on Xuanjiawei's side, and it is considered to be constantly improving the system.

But this time, Zhu Ying also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to provide more young soldiers with new channels for advancement.

The nobles occupy high positions and almost block the promotion channels for the middle and lower levels. This is unhealthy, and many soldiers have no motivation in their hearts.

Secondly, as I said just now, young soldiers, with enough learning, can grow faster and become the pillars of the new generation of Ming Dynasty.

"What a military commander to inherit." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a laugh.

"Since ancient times, it has been difficult to continue in military affairs. Most of the times make heroes. Da Sun's method can protect our Ming Dynasty's strong military strength and not fear foreign invasion."

In today's world, it is very unfriendly to military strategists to dismiss all schools of thought and only respect Confucianism.

The current generals, except for those generals, are very few who have been trained. Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, there is no place for training.

Conventionally, it is the heirs of military households, and then gain credit through the battlefield to get the position of military officer, which is also the only source.

What Zhu Ying proposed was to form the concept of an orderly inheritance of the entire army like a literati.

After the Xuanjiawei army exercise this time, Zhu Ying will take this opportunity to enlist all the governors, fellow acquaintances, qianshi, including many older commanders and envoys, into the military academy.

Just like the Imperial Academy, it has continuously exported high-quality middle-level officers for Daming.

The Military Academy may no longer be called the Military Academy, but should be renamed the Military Academy. The candidate for the dean is naturally none other than the old man.

"We are getting old, let Da Sun be the dean of this academy."

Along the way, when Zhu Ying and Zhu Yuanzhang kept chatting about the military academy, after hearing that he was appointed as the dean, Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

He wanted his grandson to bear such honor even more.

Zhu Ying replied: "Grandpa, how can this be done? The grandson is only so old, so there is no qualifications to speak of, and for the academy, it is best for the grandfather to be in charge."

"The grandson is too young to convince the public. Besides, if grandpa is the dean, none of these commanders, generals and governors will be overwhelmed and want to get in."

Hearing these compliments, Zhu Yuanzhang responded with a smile.

Next to Long Zhuo was Jin Yiwei's guardian, and then Lan Yu, Cao Zhen, Feng Sheng, Fu Youde and other princes followed on horseback.

Hearing the laughter of His Majesty and His Highness Grandson from inside, although they couldn't hear what they were talking about, Lan Yu, Cao Zhen and others were also very excited.

At dawn, a group of hundreds of people arrived outside the camp of the Xuanjia Guards.

All the generals got off their horses one after another, while Long Luan walked unimpededly all the way to Dianjiang's platform.

When Zhu Ying came out from the dragon's gate, many Xuanjia guards who had been waiting for a long time, like sculptures, suddenly knelt down on one knee and shouted:

"Greetings to Your Highness, Grandson, His Highness is a thousand years old!!!"

Hearing this, Zhu Ying's eyes moved, and she couldn't help but look at Cao Bing who was kneeling on one knee beside him, who was also clasped fists.

At this time in Daming, it is not popular to call Chitose or something.

Although it is similar to shouting such as thousand years old and long live, it has become popular during the Wu Zhou period of the Tang Dynasty.

It's just because of the subtle relationship between emperors and princes of many dynasties, the word thousand years is rarely mentioned.

Now that such a thing has happened, ordinary people would not have imagined that among the five thousand households of Xuanjiawei, there is only Cao Bing.

Cao Bing knelt on one knee, with his head down, unable to see his face. Only he knew how nervous he was at the moment.

This is indeed his own initiative, and it has also been recognized by other thousands of households.

Cao Bing has a keen political sense, and he understands how important His Highness the Grandson is to His Majesty.

Among the five Xuanjiawei Qianhu, because of his age, Cao Bing has always worked very hard. He knew that he could get the position of Xuanjiawei Qianhu, and his father and the nepotism of Liang Guogong were indispensable.

That's why at this time, I found another way, hoping to get the attention and favor of His Royal Highness.

At least, in the future reforms, he will not be kicked out of the core of His Royal Highness Taisun.

It has to be said that Zhu Ying's mood is still very beautiful after receiving the shouts of thousands of years from many soldiers.

He patted Cao Bing on the shoulder casually, and Zhu Ying went to pick up the old man and drive him out of the dragon.

Feeling a light pat on the shoulder, Cao Bing was overjoyed and stabilized.

"Meet Your Majesty, Long Live Your Majesty Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Your Majesty!!!"

As Zhu Yuanzhang came out, all the soldiers shouted again.

"All the generals are flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After getting down from the dragon, Zhu Ying supported the old man and went up to the stage.

The Commander's Terrace on the side of the Xuanjiawei Barracks is very different from other barracks. Because of His Royal Highness, it is quite luxurious.

First of all, it is covered on three sides, like a wooden house, with a height of three feet.

It is equipped with a desk and chairs.

Once you go up, you can sit and watch, taking in everything at a glance.A brazier has been raised in the surrounding area to drive out the cold and keep warm.

In contrast, other people can only stand and watch.

This is why Zhu Yuanzhang didn't let civil officials come, and ordinary people really couldn't bear it.

With the sound of drums, the military exercise officially began.

Xuanjiawei's military exercise is naturally very different from other guards.

Five thousand households were divided into five teams, each occupying five areas.

Behind their area, there are five flags of red, orange, yellow, green and blue.

At the end of the military exercise, it is to defend one's own area and snatch the flag of others.

The weapons are naturally wooden knives, mainly wooden shields.

And fighting is also very real.

Around the practice site, there are hundreds of doctors who have been prepared long ago, and there are also a large number of gold sore medicines, bone-setting masters, who are always ready.

This opening alone shocked all the generals.

This is a real fight.

So, is this the Xuanjiawei's military exercise?

In this kind of training environment, it is almost equivalent to continuous struggle and growth. It is no wonder that such soldiers are so good.

"Okay, Dasun's arrangement really opened our eyes."

With just one glance, Zhu Yuanzhang saw the key.

The biggest difference between the regular army and the miscellaneous army is nothing more than morale and discipline in the era of cold weapons.

Morale is something that is extremely mysterious and is affected by many factors.

But there is no doubt that the morale of an excellent army is absolutely very high.

Maintaining high morale is a problem that often needs to be considered by an excellent general.

But here at Xuanjiawei, morale has been drilled.

This kind of military exercise must be carried out frequently, and the long-term multi-person combat will keep the morale of all soldiers at a very high critical point at any time.

Once on the battlefield, everyone is fierce and brave, charging bravely, and they have already won three points when the battle starts.

At present, the rules and methods used by the five parties, or the military formation.

It also allows the general to command more easily. For a long time, the soldiers are also very familiar with changing the military formation.

The advantage of the military formation is that it can stimulate the abilities of all the soldiers to the greatest extent.

Use the strong to fight the weak, and use the more to fight the less.

"Brother, did you see that is my son."

Cao Zhen, who was standing beside Lan Yu, said a little excitedly.

Compared with Xuanjiawei, the soldiers of the guards under his command really have no resistance.

Even if there are more than 5000 people in his own guard, the chances of winning against more than a thousand people in his son's hands are very slim.

As Cao Zhen, who spent most of his life on the battlefield, he could see the gap at a glance.

But that was his own son, Cao Zhen's tone and eyes showed no trace of jealousy, only strong pride.

Lan Yu focused on watching, and did not take care of Cao Zhen next to him.

As a famous general of his generation, he naturally knew very well what the Xuanjiawei in front of him represented.

This is almost completely different from the soldiers in the past. It is a brand-new training mode. The elite soldiers trained in this way are like wielding their arms. It only takes a little training, and the explosive combat power is immeasurable.

Originally in military combat, training and leading troops, Sapphire has achieved a peak, but also reached a bottleneck at the same time.

However, the current Xuanjiawei has refreshed Lanyu's consistent philosophy and pattern.

This is the most peak ceiling for cold weapon warfare from later generations.

Let Sapphire be greatly inspired, as if reopening the world.

At the same time, all the generals, whether they are the governors of the five armies, Tongzhi, Qianshi, or the commanders of various guards.

At the moment when Xuanjiawei was about to start, he almost held his breath, for fear of disturbing him because he was panting too much.

"His Royal Highness, you are indeed a man of heaven."

Feng Sheng looked carefully at the Xuanjia Guards, and couldn't help admiring.

Fu Youde beside him nodded heavily.

With the sound of the tee drum.

All the Xuanjia guards finally moved.

kill! ! !

Five roars came, and the flag bearer waved.

The transition from extremely quiet to extremely dynamic made everyone's blood boil.

The soldiers who formed the wall came head-on, fighting from all sides, none of them retreated at all, and charged directly and viciously.

The wooden knife shattered, and the wooden shield flew away.

There was even more blood scattered in the air, which was particularly conspicuous under the sunlight on a snow-white land.

This is not a military exercise, it is clearly a real battle.

Even if it is a melee, it can be seen that the rules are very clear, there is no single fight, three or five groups, you go up and I protect, he needs me to make up.

What's more, with the help of his teammates, he jumped and kicked one person a foot away.

"These are some monsters."

The commander of the guards could not help but exclaim.

Because the soldier who was kicked a foot away and bumped into several people, fell to the ground, got up in a blink of an eye, roared and joined his team again, and fought again.

Such scenes are staged in every corner of the entire battlefield.

More than [-] people are all warriors, with super strong resistance to blows, as if they cannot be defeated, they continue to fight, which is terrifying.

The most frightening thing is that in such a melee situation.

These feelings kill red-eyed soldiers, very rational.

The chief roared, the flag bearers waved, and the army formation switched, without the slightest jerk, and no soldiers left.

This is the most rare thing. In such a fierce battle situation, it is unimaginable that the army formation can still be kept changing.

Many generals present, including Lan Yu, Cao Zhen, Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, and other honorable generals, were all in command.

They are all asking themselves.

If the soldiers led by oneself encounter such an enemy army, is it possible to win?
The answer is yes.

There is no chance of winning by even one point, it is completely crushed from all aspects, just like a strong man and a child, there is a world of difference.

You must know that everyone here has made credit on the battlefield, and most of them have grown up from a small soldier to the present.

The soldiers they lead are the most powerful elite in the entire Ming Dynasty.

But in front of the Xuanjiawei who was led by His Royal Highness Taisun, it was really like paper.

"I heard that in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was an army called the Suppressing Camp. There were more than [-] soldiers in the army, and their armors were all refined and neat. Every attack was invincible."

"Thinking about it, it looks like what it looks like before, but under Taisun's command, there are more than [-] soldiers like this."

Looking at the unpredictable situation on the battlefield, Feng Sheng said with a sigh.

Lan Yu next to him added: "Duke Song, don't forget that everyone in the Xuanjia Guard is not only good at foot combat, but also good at riding and shooting when they were selected. Selected."

"There are thousands of horses in the rear battalion of the Xuanjia Guards, so riding training is naturally indispensable. It is probably because the losses in riding battles are too great, so they will not be included in the military exercise."

"Besides, His Royal Highness is heavy firearms, and the matchlock gun is in Xuanjiawei, so there must be a lot of training."

"The military exercise I saw today is just the tip of the Xuanjiawei iceberg. What His Royal Highness wants us to see is not the toughness of the soldiers, but the strict discipline."

At this moment, Sapphire's demeanor and tone are different from what he usually sees.

There is no trace of rebelliousness, only eyes as calm as water, and a brain that is running fast.

To be able to become a famous general of a generation, with even more momentum than the former Shangguan Feng Sheng, is he a generation of vain names.

At present, in the Ming army, there are two people who can communicate and discuss this aspect, that is, Feng Sheng and Lanyu.

After hearing this, Feng Sheng was deeply convinced.

At this moment, it has been a full hour since the start of the military exercise, and the soldiers on the field are gradually showing signs of weakness.

This is the final critical moment.

None of the generals felt the cold, because the blood in their bodies was all boiling under the influence of Xuanjiawei's fight.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang didn't sit down at the moment. He didn't know when it started, but he had already stood up and watched carefully.
