Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 948: Rising Star of Ming Dynasty (1)

"I will wait to see your Majesty!!"

Test bench core.

Zhu Youxiao, who was surrounded by the crowd, looked at the group of people in front of him with a faint smile on his face. Huang Degong and his party saw this and looked at each other, feeling sad in their hearts.

Among the emperor's personal army, there are two that are absolutely special.

One is called the Yongwei Camp and the other is called the Yongshi Camp.

Most of the people in these two departments are orphans who are raised by the emperor's family, and a few are orphans who were born to parents but have no parents to take care of them. They are all concentrated in the imperial farms in the suburbs of Beijing. Those who can enter these two departments must be the best among them. If they are not the best, they cannot get in at all.

Those who did not meet the age limit could enter the Yongwei Camp.

Those who have reached adulthood go to the Warriors Camp.

Today, the Yongwei Camp and the Yongshi Camp are doing their own things. Most of the Yongwei Camp led by Cao Bianjiao went to Nanzhili, while the Yongshi Camp led by Li Hongji is still staying in Dongfan.

"I haven't seen you for a few months. You've become much stronger."

As the generals were expressing their feelings, Zhu Youxiao stepped forward, stretched out his hand and patted the faces of the people in front of him. It was an honor they had fought for to be able to accompany the emperor at the Xishan Test Field!

"Your Majesty, the food and dishes in the Brave Guard Camp are delicious, and I ate a lot!"

In this situation, Li Guo said loudly: "It is better to grow stronger, so that when I grow up, I can suppress all the rebellious people for Your Majesty and the court! ”

"You kid, you always say something encouraging, but I like to hear it."

Zhu Youxiao said to Li Guo with a smile, but he felt emotional in his heart.

Grow up quickly. When you all grow up, the Ming army will have successors, and the Ming army's three generations of generals will be truly built.

The current generation of military commanders includes young, old, and middle-level ones, but in Zhu Youxiao's eyes, this is far from enough.

If the Ming army wants to truly transform, in addition to institutional changes, the key lies in people. People with real capabilities can stand out in war after war and make their mark in the Ming army. This is also related to the deepening of military reform.

After the younger generation, Zhu Youxiao also formed several batches of people, such as Li Hongji and Cao Bianjiao. Perhaps they have not yet reached the time to truly command troops and fight wars, but they must gain experience when it is time to do so. The more experience they have, the more they will be able to support themselves when they really command troops and fight wars in the future.

After Li Hongji, Cao Bianjiao and others, it is the group of people in front of us. Of course, in addition to them, there is another one who is kept in the imperial farm outside Beijing. That is the new generation leader selected by Zhu Youxiao, Li Dingguo!
By the time Li Dingguo grew up, Zhu Youxiao knew that the Ming army must have already gone out to fight. But the more this happened, the more he needed more outstanding talents.

Even Zhu Youxiao was thinking about one thing in his mind.

By the time of Li Dingguo's generation, the Ming army had advanced firearms and artillery, and even various types of warships, and was galloping in the territories outside the Ming Dynasty. What would that be like?

"Your Majesty, I think so too."

As Zhu Youxiao was sighing, Yuan Zongdi said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I would like to participate in the test firing of guns and cannons at the Xishan Test Site this time!"

"His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty~"

After hearing what Yuan Zongde said, Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi, Li Fuchen and others who were standing asked to fight. Seeing them like this, Zhu Youxiao smiled and looked at Huang Degong and his party.

"Today's test firing, have they been arranged?"

Zhu Youxiao said, "Your Majesty, there are no arrangements."

Huang Degong immediately clasped his fists and said.

It is true that these people are the best in the Yongwei Battalion, but they are too young. The Yongwei Battalion is organized into teams based on age. Teams like theirs are not allowed to handle firearms yet. Some things are not good to do too early. There are only a few people in the Yongwei Battalion who can handle firearms.

“After the test firing is over, we will arrange some people to lead them to fire a few shots.”

Zhu Youxiao turned to look at Li Guo and the others, "This can be considered a reward for them. They have performed very well in the Yongwei Battalion, and I cannot just give them a verbal reward."

"We bow down and thank God for His grace!"

After hearing this, Li Guo and his party couldn't hide their excitement.

Rules are dead, people are alive.

Zhu Youxiao thought it was a good thing to give Li Guo and others some appropriate rewards. This would spur them to work hard and move forward. The Ming army needed these new stars.

"Your Majesty, shall we start the test launch?"

In this situation, Song Yingxing saw several flag bearers waving flags on the test field, and immediately stepped forward and said, "All types of muskets and artillery participating in the inspection are in place."

"let's start."

Zhu Youxiao restrained his smile.

The reason he went to the Xishan Test Field this time was to see the muskets and artillery and to meet Li Guo and his men. There are still many turmoils in the Ming Dynasty today. If he wants to ensure that these turmoils will affect the Ming Dynasty but not get out of control, the army becomes particularly important.

Using war to promote reform will continue for a long time in the future.

Because too many things are stubborn problems accumulated from the past, it is basically impossible and unrealistic to solve them by gentle means.

In that case, let's solve it with bloodshed.

Just like the southeastern provinces, there are too many "valve" forces hidden in these places. They either exist openly or hide in the city. The scary thing is that they control too many resources. In order to ensure their own interests, they even have connections with each other, or even intermarry.

When dealing with these special groups, we must take a strong attitude if we want to take back everything they have occupied intact.

The only way Zhu Youxiao could think of to deal with this kind of sophisticated egoists was to use a knife to kill them until they surrendered. He could not solve the problem by any other means.

The chaos in the southeast occurred in stages.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, the methods and measures adopted for different stages of chaos are also very different. But for anyone who jumps around during this period, Zhu Youxiao has the same attitude: find them out and eradicate them! !
With Zhu Youxiao's order, the Xishan Test Field became lively.

"Your Majesty, the first rifle to be tested is the Yongle flintlock rifle. This is based on the Hongwu style, and is an improvement on the Yongle style regular model in terms of rifling, airtightness, etc."

Under the gaze of Li Guo, Yuan Zongde and others, Song Yingxing introduced. Zhu Youxiao, holding up a telescope, listened to Song Yingxing while looking at the team that appeared on the test field.

"This musket will be used as the standard armament of the army. In addition to the above, the Armaments Cleaning Department has improved some details. Everything revolves around combat."

When listening to Song Yingxing's talk, Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi and others were very excited. It won't be long before they can touch these muskets. Even when they are older, they can hold these muskets regularly in the Yongwei Battalion's drills like their seniors! !
