Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 48 I only want elite soldiers

This can be regarded as the third person Zhu Youxiao has personally beheaded since he came to the Ming Dynasty.

The first one was Zheng Sanjun, Minister of Taichang Temple. Zhu Youxiao, who was eager to save himself, didn't think too much about the emergency at that time, but he felt a little embarrassed afterwards.

The second one is Azig. Zhu Youxiao still felt instinctively nervous after beating the Manqing Baylor to death.

But at this moment, he who personally beheaded Zhu Chunchen, a relative of the emperor, did not panic.

I don't know when he started to treat illnesses and save lives as his life's profession, and he became ruthless and iron-blooded.

None of the [-] officers and soldiers on the school field dared to breathe heavily, and officials such as Lu Xiangsheng and Wang Chengen just stood aside silently.

No one dared to touch the emperor Zhu Youxiao's nilin at this time. Although he was not yet [-] years old, his cold eyes and tightly biting lips showed his dragon face's anger to the fullest.

"In the future, if someone violates military discipline and leaves his post without authorization, he will be like this person!"

Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, then inserted the bloody sword into the scabbard, and said, "Where is Lu Xiangsheng, the left servant of the Ministry of War and the admiral of the Beijing camp!"

"Wei Chen is here!"

Lu Xiangsheng knew that Zhu Youxiao wanted to establish his prestige in the school, so he cooperated with him, answering loudly and concisely.

"Immediately roll the names according to the roster. Anyone who is not present, regardless of their official position, will be dismissed immediately! As a soldier, if you dare to violate the imperial edict and leave your post because of a heavy snowfall, you are still a soldier!"

Zhu Youxiao asked loudly.

"Yes!" After Lu Xiangsheng responded, he hurriedly organized the roll call himself. Although there were more than [-] people, but fortunately, Lu Xiangsheng had already prepared and invited several staff members to be present, and they were responsible for the roll call of the guards in the capital.

In less than half an hour, Lu Xiangsheng's people had finished counting. There were more than 11 people present in the three major camps of the Beijing Camp, and the actual number of people recorded on the roster was as many as [-]. Excluding the vacancy, there were at least [-] people count, but less than half are present.

However, Zhu Youxiao was not so angry because of this, even if the officers and soldiers who deserted due to a heavy snowstorm were called back, it would be useless.

It is precisely because of this that he directly dismissed those officers and soldiers who were undisciplined.

Although the remaining [-] people may not be very disciplined, at least they can not disobey the emperor's will, and can stand here obeying the orders of the superiors.

Such officers and soldiers have a certain degree of plasticity at any rate.

In this way, it can be regarded as a preliminary panning.

Zhu Youxiao has no plan to keep all the more than [-] officers and soldiers.

The Ming army, especially the Beijing camp, has always been trained laxly, and most of the battalion officers are dudes, and the soldiers will be lazy, he knows it.

But this army is actually a pro-army under the direct control of Zhu Youxiao.

In other words, at the most critical moment, this army is the magic weapon for Zhu Youxiao to save his life.

If one's direct line army is bad, then one's own emperor can't do anything big, and will sit in the Forbidden City for a long time.

Looking at the [-] officers and soldiers who were promoted in the audition, they were uneven and crooked, Zhu Youxiao couldn't compare them with the army of the republic in his previous life, and even the students in his previous military training at the university They all stood more neatly than these Gyeonggi garrison troops.

In order to make his direct descendants the most powerful army, Zhu Youxiao must implement the policy of elite soldiers, instead of having many soldiers, he must do subtraction instead of sending ministers everywhere to recruit soldiers like Emperor Chongzhen.

That would not only waste money and food, but also increase the number of warlords who supported their own self-respect, and even these warlords later became the vanguard army that helped the Manchus massacre their compatriots.

Wu Sangui and Zuo Liangyu are clear examples.

"Under the age, those over the age of 45 come out!"

Zhu Youxiao gave an order, and the officers and soldiers below looked at each other for a while, and then some people stood up consciously, and some people were still stupidly asking what His Majesty was talking about just now.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly ordered the pro-army around him to convey Zhu Youxiao's edict, and pulled out some unresponsive officers and soldiers according to the roster.

It took half an hour to clear out the soldiers who did not meet the age requirements.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smiled wryly. With this efficiency, it's no wonder that Li Zicheng could easily break through the capital many years later.

These officers and soldiers who were too young or too old, Zhu Youxiao did not intend to stay, and directly ordered Wang Chengen to take money from his internal funds to distribute severance silver ranging from a hundred taels to ten taels to these officers and soldiers according to their rank and seniority.

Most of these officers and soldiers are rich and powerful relatives with some assets in their families. Zhu Youxiao doesn’t have to worry that they will starve to death or rebel after leaving the barracks. Find a job for a living before you run out.

The ones who suffered the most were of course those military officers who could have made a fortune out of nothing, but they had nothing to do to Zhu Youxiao except complaining.

If they want to rebel and deny that Zhu Youxiao is the king of a country, it is to deny that they themselves are the privileged class of Ming Dynasty.

In desperation, thousands of officers and soldiers who were dawdling in the Beijing camp were kicked out by Zhu Youxiao.

Although many of the nearly [-] remaining officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp were idle and lacked any military demeanor, fortunately they were still young, and Zhu Youxiao had plenty of ways to torture them.

Of course, if Zhu Youxiao asks at this moment, who is willing to leave the Beijing camp voluntarily without being tortured by him, I am afraid that a large part of the descendants of the honored relatives will leave voluntarily without Zhu Youxiao's persuasion.

The reason is simple, they are still young masters after they go back, there is no need to suffer here.

But Zhu Youxiao is the emperor, even dudes dare not disobey the king, as long as Zhu Youxiao doesn't speak, these people don't want to leave voluntarily.

Zhu Youxiao didn't intend to let them leave voluntarily. Although after Tumu Fort, these relatives were suppressed by civil officials, there is no doubt that these people belong to the same interest group as his Zhu Dynasty, and Only they will become their direct descendants.

Now that the civil service forces still have an advantage in politics, culture and even the economy, they can only develop the noble group represented by warriors to regain control of their military advantages.

Only with checks and balances can one's throne be stabilized, and the country of Ming Dynasty will enjoy long-term stability.

Of course, in order not to attract the attention of the civilian group, Zhu Youxiao could only let Lu Xiangsheng, who was already outstanding in the military, be the admiral of the Beijing camp.

"Do you think I will keep you all in the Beijing camp? Then you are all wrong. Now that the Ming treasury is empty and the people are displaced, I don't have that much money to support you bastards! I only plan to keep about 5000 people. If you If it’s really too good, maybe I can only ask 3000 people to stay in the barracks!”

As Zhu Youxiao said, he spread three fingers, pointed to a mountain in front of him, and said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Do you see that mountain in front of you? Take them to the top of the mountain, and all your servants will be killed too." Come in, from now on, I don't want any military minister to privately support his own soldiers, understand?"
