Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 64 Zhu Youxiao's Emperor's Mind
Seeing Tan Botong's gloomy look, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but glance at Lu Xiangsheng.

Last night, he and Lu Xiangsheng discussed overnight how to confer the ranks of these thirty officers and students. Originally, Lu Xiangsheng suggested that Qin Botong be awarded the rank of major general, the third-rank general Zhaoyi.

Although Lu Xiangsheng didn't have a good impression of Tan Botong, who was counting on getting promoted and making a fortune from the very beginning, during the training, Lu Xiangsheng felt that although Qin Botong was a bit of a ruffian, he was very flexible, and he could afford to let it go. He has a talent that is different from ordinary people in the formation of troops, and he is very good at flexibility.

But Zhu Youxiao thinks that Qin Botong is more than agile but not calm enough. What he wants is not an officer with too distinctive personality, but an officer who first obeys his orders and obeys the command.

Moreover, compared to Chang Yanling, Qin Botong obviously paid too much attention to fame and fortune.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao intends to let this excellent military officer with high self-esteem experience a sense of frustration.

At the same time, considering that Chang Yanling is too humble and has a high level of awareness, he simply promoted him by half a rank and became General Dingyuan from the second rank.

This promotion and demotion was not done by Zhu Youxiao at will, but deliberately. In his previous life, he was familiar with how to control the patient's psychology. In order to make these military officers completely loyal to himself, he could not only rely on conspiracy, sometimes he would leave No conspiracy.

Seeing Tan Botong's tense face, and walking towards him with straight kicks, Zhu Youxiao deliberately squeezed out a smile, stretched out his hand and said, "Congratulations, the excellent Colonel Qin Botong."

Colonel?Hearing this word from His Majesty for the first time, Qin Botong thought that he would never be a colonel in his life, so he didn't care about the difference between a colonel and a senior colonel, but now, when these words are spoken from His Majesty, he My heart seemed to be cut like a knife.

When His Majesty called the officers and students in front of him, he always called them generals, but when it came to him, he quickly changed them to colonels.

Qin Botong forced a wry smile, and then solemnly gave Zhu Youxiao a military salute: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Zhu Youxiao gave him the epaulets, he didn't feel any sense of pride. He even wanted to step off the stage immediately, preferably to find a place where no one was around and drink a jar of wine.

There was still applause below, but Lu Xiangsheng did not applaud. He remembered what his majesty said to him that day, that Qin Botong was clever and treacherous, and he was not as loyal and honest as Chang Yanling, nor as honest and honest as Fu Haihai. Daming, allegiance to the emperor.

Then, the villain who deliberately lowered Qin Botong's official rank can only be Lu Xiangsheng.

Seeing Lu Xiangsheng, the left servant and chief trainer of the Ministry of War who scolded him for a whole month, Qin Botong also felt in his heart that it might really be related to him that he was not awarded the rank of general.

Qin Botong was followed by Lu Jiayu. Although this 17-year-old boy was only awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel, he was appointed as the commander of the engineering battalion, but he was not at all unhappy because This is his first official position, which is already very high compared to many people.

After granting Lu Jiayu the official position, the commanders of the battalions of the newly formed Imperial Guards were arranged.

The remaining more than 20 military officers were awarded ranks ranging from major to lieutenant, and scattered officials below the fifth rank, and served as the positions of thousands of households in each battalion.

It was not until noon that the official title conferring ceremony came to an end.

According to the pre-arrangement, after the official rank conferring ceremony, these military students will take a five-day vacation, and after the five days are over, they will formally conduct the training of the Imperial Guard.

But Zhu Youxiao didn't have to be lazy because of the end of the officer cadet training. On the contrary, he had to improve the plan to train [-] Imperial Guards within five days as soon as possible based on the experience of training these officer cadets.

Zhu Youxiao was not a student in military majors, but he insisted on adding some modern military theoretical knowledge into it. Lu Xiangsheng was familiar with military books and knew how to train soldiers, but he didn't know the difference between the army of later generations and the army of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, this became the first difficult problem for the next training of the Imperial Guards, but now in the process of short-term training for military officers, the two people's ideas were finally understood by the other party, so they had to discuss again and form A perfect training regimen.

"Eunuch Liu, I would like to see His Majesty, please let me know."

All the officers and students had left the Forbidden City and went home, but Tan Botong was the only one who stayed at the training place, begging Liu Ruyu.

It's not that Qin Botong didn't want to go home, but if he didn't understand why he was assigned such a low rank, his knot would not be resolved, so he had to ask clearly.

Seeing his pleading, Liu Ruyu thought that this person was also a member of Wei Guogong after all, and seeing that these officers and students would definitely become His Majesty's most valued generals in the army in the future, so he had no choice but to sell this favor.

"Come with me", Liu Ruyu and Qin Botong were going to see Zhu Youxiao, but before they arrived at the West Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, they saw Lu Xiangsheng walking over.

When Lu Xiangsheng saw Tan Botong and Liu Ruyu approaching, he cupped his hands towards Liu Ruyu, and gave Tan Botong a cold look.

"Your Majesty, Qin Botong, the new commander of the Imperial Guard's supply battalion, asks to see you!" Neither Liu Ruyu nor Qin Botong had the right to enter the Xinuang Pavilion casually, and there was no other way but to report to Xiao Huangmen who was waiting outside.

When Zhu Youxiao heard that it was Qin Botong who was asking to see him, he couldn't help but smile, and guessed that it was because of his low rank that Qin Botong was undervalued, so he hurriedly ordered someone to bring them in.

"Qin Botong, why you came to see me, you can tell me directly." Zhu Youxiao pretended not to know and sat on the dragon chair, carefully reviewing the memorial.

"Your majesty, this minister is for the appointment of an official this morning. How can this minister not be as good as General Chang and General Fu?"

Qin Botong thought that since he came to the imperial court, he would just grit his teeth and explain his confusion, so as not to feel uncomfortable in the future.

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao put down the notebook in his hand, stood up, walked up to Tan Botong, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Bo Tong, I have seen your performance this month, and I have seen it all. I wanted to award you the rank of major general directly, just like Chang Yanling, but Lu Shilang said that you are a bit impetuous and frivolous, and you pay more attention to fame and fortune than the awareness of sacrificing your life to save the common people, so I suggest that I dampen your spirit. But don't worry, If you make great achievements in the future, I will not begrudge rewards and promotions."

Hearing His Majesty's personal explanation, Qin Botong was relieved a lot, and when he thought that a small commander of himself questioned His Majesty for this matter, it was really disrespectful, but His Majesty didn't mean to blame him at all, and thought The gratitude to Zhu Youxiao is even deeper, and comparing that harsh Lu Shilang with the current Majesty, His Majesty still knows the true ambition in his heart better.Before he knew it, Zhu Youxiao was regarded by Qin Botong as his confidant.

"However, Qin Botong, I have to warn you, you are not allowed to resent Lu Shilang, Lu Shilang is not only strict with you, but also with other people. You see, his own brother's position is lower than yours, and these are all mine. Decide!"

Seeing His Majesty's warning, Qin Botong hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I dare not have the heart to hate Lu Shilang, I belong to Your Majesty, even if Your Majesty makes me a soldier, I am willing!"

　I got off work late tonight, but I left the key at home, so I had to go to the neighbor's house to make do with the code. The one who unlocked it will come now. I am very sorry. I can only change it today, and I will make it up tomorrow. In addition, Goldfinger will definitely It is useful, but it will not be opened and hung too hard.
