high official

Chapter 252
Sure enough, as expected, from the beginning to the end, there was no official messenger from Ying Tianfu.In fact, the capital has the rules of the capital. If something happens in this kind of shop with a strong background, as long as no one is killed and no one is sued, the government will not care.

However, after this commotion, everyone lost their interest, Zhou Yong took his younger soldiers back to the barracks, and Wang Xian and the others returned to the Prince's Mansion.

"Come back so early?" Zhu Zhanji couldn't go out with them to have fun because he wanted to maintain his image, so he stayed in the house and was depressed all the time.Seeing Wang Xian coming back early, he immediately became happy: "What happened?"

"As you wish," Wang Xianbai said with a glance, "I was disturbed by two boys surnamed Xue."

"You mean Xue Xun, Xue Huan?" Zhu Zhanji guessed right away.

"Uh... I heard he is the son of Marquis Yangwu." Wang Xian nodded.

"It's the two of them," Zhu Zhanji said with a wry smile, "it's like the flood has washed over the Dragon King Temple, and my family doesn't recognize my own family." Although his young army is mainly composed of civilian children, there are also children of meritorious generals. And it's all brains.

"I'm afraid this flood was intentional," Wang Xian said with a sneer, "They obviously wanted to destroy the scene, but they didn't expect that Qing Yishui, who was seated next to me, was an elite, with the help of a master, so he suffered the loss of being dumb. "

"It doesn't make sense?" Zhu Zhanji frowned and said, "It's not that you are asked to replace their errands."

"I haven't asked yet..." Listening to him mentioning this, Wang Xian asked, "What exactly do you want me to do?"

"Your heart has finally returned to me?" Zhu Zhanji said with a smile.

"I'm back, and from now on I will serve His Highness wholeheartedly." Wang Xian said in a dazed tone.

"That's about the same." Zhu Zhanji smiled happily.Objectively speaking, he has all the conditions to be a good leader.When Wang Xian first arrived in the capital, although Zhu Zhanji needed help very much, he was able to understand his situation. Not only did he not ask for anything, but he also actively helped him solve the problem.

During this process, Wang Xian's affection for him has been deepening. Now that the problem is solved, he will naturally go all out to serve him. The effect is much better than being half-hearted.To a large extent, the difference lies in this point why some leaders desert all relatives in the end, while others can get the wholehearted service of everyone.

Many people don't understand this kind of clever way of controlling people until they are old.But Zhu Zhanji was already familiar with it at the age of sixteen or seventeen. He smiled slightly and said, "It's late today. You will find out when you go to the barracks with me tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Wang Xian had to wait until tomorrow to reveal the answer.

As a result, that night, he suffered from insomnia... To be honest, at first he thought that the young Laoshizi army was a big toy given to Aisun by the emperor, and he came to the capital to play with Zhu Zhanji fighting crickets... a jester.But Zhou Xin, a veteran, woke him up. If you think that Youjun is a child's play house, you are very wrong!
You must know that in the army sequence of successive dynasties, there is always an elite pro-army, which is subordinate to the prince and serves as an endorsement of the authority of the crown prince of a country.For example, the three guards of the prince in the Sui Dynasty, the left and right guards of the East Palace in the Tang Dynasty, and the avant-garde guards of the government army in this dynasty.Although the personal guard was abolished because of Jing Nan, there have been calls for the crown prince to restore the personal guard over the years.

But the emperor did not agree for a long time. It was not until last year that he ordered the formation of a young army for the grandson to practice battles and go in and out to guard. This is clearly the prototype of the prince's pro-army. official army.Besides, the imperial court probably still wants to use troops against the Tartars, and according to the emperor's temperament, it is likely that they will have to conquer them personally.Based on the emperor's expectations for the grandson, he is likely to bring Zhu Zhanji to the battlefield.With such an assumption, the mission of the young army is just around the corner.

The chance is that most people now regard the young army as a child's plaything, but the grandson undoubtedly attaches great importance to this matter.If he can perform positively, he will naturally leave an excellent impression on Taisun.If there is a chance to go to the battlefield in the future, it is more likely to get rewards beyond imagination.

That's going to the battlefield with the grandson. It's beautiful and fast, and it's absolutely safe. There is really no better shortcut!
.

At Maoshi the next day, someone from the palace asked Wang Xian to get up, and after having breakfast with Zhu Zhanji in the main hall, the two drove to the Young Army barracks in the north of the city.The capital of Ming Dynasty still bears the strong imprint of Taizu. The north of the city is the defense area of ​​the defenders, and a large number of forbidden troops are stationed here.Therefore, the main building in the north of the city is the military barracks. As time went by, many troops were withdrawn and moved, leaving camps empty from time to time.Last year, Emperor Yongle issued a decree to form a young army for Taisun, and the military department responsible for recruiting troops selected a military camp for Taisun in Jinchuan Gate in the north of the city.

On the carriage to Jinchuan Gate, Zhu Zhanji explained to Wang Xian, "This young army started to be formed last year, and the personnel arrived in Beijing at the beginning of this year, and then the Ministry of War taught the rules for two months. In fact, it was handed over not long ago. In my hands. I thought I would be assigned an old general to take the helm, but the emperor said that I would become a puppet and let me personally train the army, so there are no veterans, only those who are under 20 years old and have not taken office Choose a helper from the disciples of the generals."

"This is giving you the opportunity to train your team, which is a good thing." Wang Xian said.

"I know. But you also know that Xungui's generals wear a pair of pants with my second uncle." Zhu Zhanji said depressedly: "He said hello, and those princes and uncles who are close to him are not allowed The children join the young army."

"Aren't there many honorable children?"

"It's basically the Taizu Chao Xungui who stood on the sidelines. They want to turn salty fish into life and let their children mix with me." Zhu Zhanji said: "A big man in power like Yang Wuhou has a big enmity with Ji Gang. , and then I hated my second uncle together, so I deliberately contradicted him and let my children come and hang out with me. There is no second case."

"Is this important?" Wang Xian realized that the other party was telling him euphemistically that he wanted to have a good relationship with the two treasures of the Xue family.He didn't understand why Zhu Zhanji valued those two dandies so much: "I mean, what's the difference between those who don't have honored children and those who have honored children? What's the difference between old honors and new honors?"

"There's a big difference," Zhu Zhanji said with a wry smile, "You know, there has been a clear distinction between soldiers and civilians in the Ming Dynasty for decades. Training and fighting is the business of military households, while civilian households are farming and growing mulberry. For the first time, the young army only recruits people from private households, so they don't have any foundation in martial arts."

"Is the whiteboard bad? What do you want to practice?" Wang Xian said.

"Well said!" Zhu Zhanji said with appreciative eyes: "I think so too!" He said with a bitter face: "But how do you practice without officers? There must be a large number of middle- and lower-level officers who are experienced in the army Only then can we turn the more than 1 ordinary people into soldiers, and then we can talk about drills."

"Didn't you let the noble sons come to the middle and lower ranks?" Wang Xianxin said, why does it sound so unreliable to me.

"Of course not. Although the honorable generals are all good soldiers, their descendants... don't even mention it." Zhu Zhanji sighed and said, "I don't value them, but the connections of their parents." You are so smart, so you don't need to say it out loud."

"Understood." Wang Xian nodded, and Zhu Zhanji gave Xungui's son a mid-to-senior officer position. In order not to embarrass his children and grandchildren, the Xungui will definitely choose a group of reliable subordinates to serve as his subordinates.Although this will make the army full of factions, it is a good way to quickly shape the young army from scratch.Moreover, Zhu Zhanji is a grandson, not only is not afraid of factions, but is happy to see the emergence of factions.

However, only the heroes of Jing Nan have troops. Those who founded the country have stood aside for many years, and there is no one to use them. In Zhu Zhanji's eyes, they are of little value.

And Yangwu Hou Xue Lunai is the governor of the left army and the right governor, the top five military leaders, and two years ago, he asked to train the children of military officials, and then put a lot of effort into it. It is conceivable that Zhu Zhanji I wish I could get help from this person.

"Okay, I'll make amends to those two boys." Wang Xian is still very sensible, of course, this has something to do with his thick skin.

"No, no, you misunderstood." Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said, "I ask you to forgive them, not to apologize to them."

"Uh..." Wang Xian was a little confused: "He's a proud son of heaven, apologize to me, a little scholar?"

"When you enter my military camp, you will be judged according to your position in the camp." Zhu Zhanji shook his head.

"What on earth did you ask me to do?"

"I'm ready to worship you as a military adviser!" Zhu Zhanji finally gave up.

"Pfft, military advisor..." Wang Xian laughed and said, "Do you think it's an opera?"

"How could it be singing?" Zhu Zhanji said seriously: "In "Three Kingdoms", there are military commanders offering wine and military commanders Zhonglang generals. Xun You, Guo Jia, Kong Ming, Pang Tong and others all served in this position."

"But I am Ming, and I don't have the post of military adviser."

"I never had a young army in Ming Dynasty." Zhu Zhanji rolled his eyes and said, "I am the master of my army. I say that if there are military divisions, there will be military divisions."

"Okay..." Wang Xian had no choice but to respond, "Then what exactly should I do?"

"I checked the ancient books, and I gave you the right to be modest and supervise the army." Zhu Zhanji said in a deep voice.

Wang Xian immediately opened his mouth, the so-called "frugality and all appropriateness" means that he can handle all major and minor matters in the army at his discretion, and coupled with the power to supervise the army, his status in the young army is second only to the grandson , This, this is too nonsense... Although the young army is not a regular army, there are more than 3000 people, and there are a lot of sons of various princes and uncles. Commanders and the like.I have no rank and no rank. After entering Beijing, I am embarrassed to mention this status. A miscellaneous official who always hides his shame with the title of scholar, why should he be above them?

"Thank you for your high opinion, but I'm not qualified. If you force me to go up, everyone will be dissatisfied." Although a man will do his part, he must also know how many bowls of dry rice he has to eat. It's better to refuse it as soon as it comes up.

"You don't have to worry about it." Zhu Zhanji blinked with an expression of "I have made up my mind", and said, "Young Master Yao's disciple is a military advisor in our army. Who dares to refuse?"

　I'm back, I'm done, don't say much else, just watch my performance!
