Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 50
Zhu Youxiao knew that if he wanted to re-establish his prestige among the pro-military, he could not rely solely on his status as emperor.

My own identity will only make them awe now, but not allow them to be subdued by myself, and will be willing to sacrifice their lives for myself, the emperor, at a critical moment.

Only by merging with these officers and soldiers, and letting them truly feel the existence of His Majesty the Emperor, and becoming the leader they truly admire and worship, can I truly control this army.

Moreover, no matter how many commanders are changed in the future, this army will obey their orders. In their world, only themselves, His Majesty the Emperor, are the only object of allegiance, their belief, and the purpose of living in this world.

Now His Majesty the Emperor took the lead to run to the top of the mountain ahead, and Lu Xiangsheng, the admiral of the left servant of the Ministry of War, and Liu Ruyu, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, followed Zhu Youxiao, and the rest of the officers and soldiers had to follow.

Wang Chengen and Liang Fu did not play tricks. They knew that His Majesty wanted to reshape the monarchy. They were not the seal of the Imperial Horse Supervisor nor officials of the Ministry of War. They could not get involved in the military system. Otherwise, tomorrow they would be imprisoned like the rebellious officials and thieves of the Donglin Party. Into the big prison, waiting to be executed.

Zhu Youxiao's physique was no longer as weak as it was at the beginning. With his sinews, he was able to resist the severe cold in the north. After running for four or five miles, his body was already sweating, but his breathing was still steady.

Lu Xiangsheng and Liu Ruyu behind him also practiced martial arts all year round, they also breathed evenly, and their feet were like the wind.

On the contrary, quite a few officials were panting and out of breath at this time, and after running for a short time, they had to stop to spit and pant heavily.

At this time, Jin Yiwei had already dispatched according to Zhu Youxiao's orders. As the emperor's pro-army, they naturally didn't give these dudes face, and rushed into the woods. Just add sticks.

With the help of Wei Guogong, Qin Botong finally found a position as a command officer in the Beijing camp. He is very glad that he did not leave today with Zhu Chunchen, the captain-in-law. up.

However, what he didn't expect was that the emperor asked them to run all the way up the mountain, and his majesty personally led the way. In order not to be dismissed from office, he had to run along with them.

But he didn't exercise much before, his heart was beating like thunder, and his feet were weak. Seeing a forest in front of him where he could take a shortcut, he ran over without thinking.

But now it was winter, the trees had no leaves, and the view of the whole mountain was particularly wide. Before he ran into the woods, a killing stick hit him on the back.

Qin Botong staggered and fell on the snow, taking a mouthful of snow.

Yi Jinyiwei wanted to fight, so he had to get up and run back: "Don't, don't, don't fight, I'll go back, I'll go back, the head office?"

Qin Botong chose to return to the big team and continue to run, but Sun Shicheng, the nephew of Zhongsu Hou who was also beaten, chose to leave directly after being beaten.

Moreover, within ten miles, nearly 2000 people chose to leave. They would rather not have an official position in the Beijing camp than continue to run like this with Zhu Youxiao.

After the founding general Chang Yuchun, Chang Yanling, the son of Huaiyuan Marquis Chang Xuanzhen, is one of the few noble children who can still continue to persevere as quickly as the wind, and he is now following behind Lu Xiangsheng and Liu Ruyu, looking at the front His Majesty Zhu Youxiao is running.

You can stay at home and be a happy son. The reason why Chang Yanling, who is waiting to succeed the Marquis in the future, enters the Beijing camp to become a small thousand household is to realize his ambition of revitalizing the Ming Dynasty and rebuild the meritorious deeds of his ancestors back then.

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor personally leading the army drills now, he seemed to have seen the hope of Ming Dynasty Zhongxing, and his face couldn't help showing excitement.

Who said that His Majesty is a carpenter who is curious and skillful, as the "Daming Daily" said, His Majesty really has the legacy of Emperor Hongwu, the Taizu, and maybe this hard-won Daming country really only needs him to save.

When he got to the top of the mountain, Zhu Youxiao was sweating profusely and his heart was beating like thunder. Looking at the officers and soldiers who insisted on running with him on the snow below, he couldn't help showing a smile.

"Although it was a simple run, those who can persevere until now are enough to become an elite soldier in terms of perseverance and physical strength. What do you think, Oboi?"

As Zhu Youxiao spoke, he looked at Aobai who was following him as his bodyguard.

Aobai clasped his hands and said: "Your Majesty's words are true, but this is nothing to me, a man from Manchuria. It has become a habit to chase wild animals in the mountains all year round."

"Hulus who drink blood like fur and live among wild beasts are naturally stronger than our Zhongyuan people." Lu Xiangsheng stepped up and added, "But no matter how fierce a person is, he is also afraid of firearms."

"Well, Jiandou is extremely important. In the future, wars will be dominated by firearms. No matter how strong a warrior is, he can't stop a small iron ball. Just like Azig was fierce at the beginning, and wanted to take my life, all I needed was One click, and he'll be killed instantly!"

Zhu Youxiao said that he ordered someone to bring the latest "Apocalypse-style" flintlock gun made by the Royal Ordnance Department (following the suggestion of book friends, the Ordnance Institute was changed to the Ordnance Department).

From time to time, Jin Yiwei, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately brought up the flintlock gun. After Zhu Youxiao took it, he immediately began to reload, and then aimed a shot at the hare a hundred steps away.

After the hare was shot, Yi Jinyiwei hurriedly ran over and picked it up: "Your Majesty has been shot."

Zhu Youxiao just smiled slightly, while Lu Xiangsheng on the side said in amazement: "Your Majesty, these firearms can shoot so far and operate so conveniently!"

"Oboi, what do you think?" Zhu Youxiao did not reply to Lu Xiangsheng's words, but asked Aobai again.

Aobai quickly came to his senses: "If there are 30 people armed with this firearm, they can't be wiped out without a hundred white armored soldiers."

Oboi was surprised, but he was still full of confidence in the fighting power of his Manchurian Eight Banners, but Zhu Youxiao was satisfied to let Aoboi say these words.

His post-Jinbaijia soldiers are only tens of thousands at most, but Zhu Youxiao can completely create hundreds of thousands of soldiers who are proficient in operating such firearms.

Seeing that most of the officers and soldiers who insisted on running along had gathered on the top of the mountain, Zhu Youxiao asked Lu Xiangsheng to roll their names. After the roll call, it was found that there were less than [-] officers and soldiers remaining, a total of [-].

"Eight thousand is eight thousand. After three years, I will make these eight thousand elite soldiers into eighty thousand, eight hundred thousand!"

As Zhu Youxiao said, he said again: "I will pass on my will. Tomorrow, the platform will summon civil and military officials of the second rank and above, including the Ministry of War, the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, to discuss the reorganization and establishment of the Imperial Guard Army."
