Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

Zhu Youjian gave Xu Yu, Lan Fang, and Chang Buzhou three days to deal with private matters, but the three of them only took half a day to handle private matters, including military discharge, and couldn't wait to report to the First Royal Regiment in the afternoon.

The four brothers get together for a drink whenever they have time. In addition to enhancing the relationship between the brothers, they also exchange information and so on.

As Zhu Youjian's trusted military advisor, Wu Buwei already knew many core secrets, and some even participated in them, helping Zhu Youjian fill in the gaps and improve the details of the operation.

The training and equipment of the Royal First Regiment are all military secrets to the outside world, but Wu Buwei knew them all, so he naturally revealed them to the three of them, which aroused great curiosity and interest among them. They couldn't wait to visit and see Wu Buwei. As he said, it is a new army that is completely different from the old army.

Zhu Youjian had received a secret report from the Jinyi Guards early, and he was also going to the military camp to train the Royal Guards Battalion. Therefore, after the court, he had a quick lunch and went to the military camp to wait.

The soldiers guarding the gate of the barracks had received the order early. As soon as Xu Yu, Lan Fang, and Chang Buzhou arrived, they were led into the barracks by the officers on duty and went to Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youjian took the three people to visit the training of all soldiers of the Royal First Regiment and the Royal Guards Battalion, explaining to them the purpose and function of such training, etc., and also explained to them some new tactics and other knowledge that were completely different from cold weapon combat.

If Xu Yu, Lan Fang, and Chang Buzhou still have their own pride in their hearts, after visiting the live-fire training of the Royal First Regiment and Zhu Youjian explaining some hot military tactics, they were all impressed in their hearts, like a fanatic who worships a super idol. Like a little fanboy, there are countless little stars of admiration in his eyes.

As they could see, the 3,000 well-trained and high-spirited new army was indeed better than the 30,000 old army. Big brother Wu Buwei was not bragging to deceive them. It would be really cool to be able to lead such a new army. Whether you want it or not.

Seeing the adoring expressions of the three of them as little fans, Zhu Youjian smiled casually, "Even men can't resist my charm, hehe."

Next, he asked Xu Yu to take charge of the First Royal Regiment, with Lan Fang temporarily serving as deputy. He would wait until the Guangxi Wolf Barracks or Sichuan Army Camp was established before taking charge of the first army. Chang Buzhou took charge of the Royal Guards Battalion, both with the rank of major, but enjoyed the It's just the treatment of a second lieutenant officer.

The reason Zhu Youjian explained is simple and straightforward. What matters in the military is military merit. The title of Major is just for your convenience in commanding the troops, but military merit needs to be accumulated. I treat everyone equally. If you want high treatment, then work hard.

"Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace."

The three people were so excited that they bowed to express their gratitude. Not only did they not feel dissatisfied at all, but on the contrary, they were filled with gratitude and admiration, as well as boiling blood and high fighting spirit that were about to show off their talents.

Only when rewards and punishments are clear can orders and prohibitions be carried out. Only when soldiers obey orders and have a high fighting spirit can they be invincible. In addition to admiration for the emperor's wisdom and prowess, they admire him.

In the days that followed, the three brothers participated in various military trainings like ordinary soldiers. They carried large bowls, ate with the soldiers in the cafeteria, and slept in the military camp. They quickly won the respect of the soldiers.

In Zhu Youjian's words, if you want to understand and master an army as quickly as possible, you must integrate into it, mingle with the soldiers, lead by example, and win the respect of the soldiers, so that they can fight to the death.

Wu Buwei looked at his three sworn brothers who admired the emperor so much that he habitually touched his chin and sighed repeatedly. The emperor's grasp of people's hearts was truly amazing, which made him admire him endlessly.

This is the art of the emperor.
