Chapter 44 Raising soldiers
After taking a look at his wife, Zhu Youtang suddenly softened his heart. He really had no way to deal with his wife. After thinking about it, Zhu Youtang said helplessly: "Okay, this matter
Just leave it alone and send someone to warn the eldest brother so that he won’t be greedy for peace after what happened this time.”
Seeing that Queen Zhang was still looking at him, Zhu Youtang said helplessly: "Don't worry! He won't suffer any loss."
In fact, Zhu Youtang was thinking about the deeper issues of the salt policy, which is what his son said about Ye Qi's salt policy. If this matter was a big conspiracy from beginning to end, he, as an emperor, would have really failed.
Okay. If this is the case, then we need to put things right and make a thorough investigation.
While Zhu Youtang was busy here, Zhu Houzhao was inspecting his own people, a thousand-household house.
These people were all selected from the Tengxiang Four Guards and the Warrior Camp. They were all strong and capable warriors. Originally, Zhu Houzhao was planning to attack the Beijing Camp. After all, the Beijing Camp was huge. But the inspection
As soon as the incident came out, Zhu Houzhao completely lost his mind. These people were between twenty-three and eighteen years old.
Not to mention physical strength, everyone is very good at fighting, and some people have unique skills and are very good at playing.
Zhu Houzhao's Xiyuan school ground was also built. Zhu Houzhao immediately gathered these thousand people and prepared to train them well.
"Divide into four teams, each of you four will form a team, and you will be the boss!" Zhu Houzhao looked at the four people Zhang, Wang, Li and Zhao and said, since Zhu Houzhao transferred these four people to his side, the four of them have been
They have been practicing martial arts with Zhu Houzhao, but it is impossible for Zhu Houzhao to let them be their sparring partners for the rest of their lives.
"From now on, start doing basic training according to this booklet!" Zhu Houzhao said and threw out a booklet.
This booklet was naturally compiled by Zhu Houzhao according to the strategies of later generations. There are many things in it that are not available now, including standing in military positions and cross-country, etc. Anyway, the things in this book are some basic things, including physical fitness, willpower, etc.
, the training for these things lasts for three months, and those who fail to pass will be eliminated directly.
"Follow the training above!" Zhu Houzhao said, "Let them all practice. Don't worry about food."
In this era, one of the major factors that restricts the combat effectiveness of the army is food. A lot of physical training consumes a lot of money. If you don't eat well and are not full, your body will not be able to bear it. But in this era, meat is very rare.
It is impossible to eat with an open belly like later generations.
There are all kinds of chicken, duck and fish, as well as fruits, milk, soy products, etc. Simply eating rice and grains is not enough.
The main reason why Zhu Houzhao only had 1,000 people was that he couldn't support too many. Even so, Zhu Houzhao's money could only last for three months. Originally, Zhu Houzhao planned to make money by himself, and he had already thought of a business, making glass mirrors.
A few days ago, he was still thinking about cooperating with Zhang Heling, but now Zhu Houzhao has given up this idea.
There is no use for such a person who fails to succeed but fails to succeed, and who is greedy for money and forgets his life. Zhu Houzhao is ready to replace him.
In this era, it is extraordinary that the army exercises every three days. What does it mean to train every three days? To put it bluntly, it means training once every three days. It is not that the soldiers cannot bear this hardship, but that they really cannot afford this food. The armies of later generations
, one exercise every three days? Three exercises a day are not enough. There are various trainings and exercises. The key issue is eating.
It was natural for Zhu Houzhao to eat here. Zhu Houzhao could afford it, so Zhu Houzhao wanted to give it a try and see what kind of soldiers he could train.
Zhu Houzhao will not participate in the early training. Zhu Houzhao will take over after the selection is completed. After all, these people are his personal guards, and he must train them personally.
"Three months later, there will be a competition between the four of you. Whoever loses will wash the socks and underwear of the other three people." Zhu Houzhao glanced at the four people, then turned and left. There is no need to beat him up.
But if you really ask them to wash each other's socks and underwear, they will work harder.
In fact, Zhu Houzhao didn't need to say this at all. Zhang, Wang, Li and Zhao were already holding their breath.
Originally, when they were with the prince, they had the opportunity to rise to great heights. Who wants to be eliminated at this time? Now that the prince has asked them to train, no one is a fool. If this happens, then they will really rise to great heights.
At this time, no one wanted to lose, and all four of them were holding their breath.
There was no need for Zhu Houzhao to stimulate them. They had long wanted to defeat each other and prove that they were the best.
It was almost autumn, and the weather was a bit cold. Zhu Houzhao dared to come out. Liu Jin quickly walked up and put a big cloak on Zhu Houzhao, and then cautiously said: "Your Highness, the imperial doctor has been sent over from Kunning Palace."
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Liu Jin. A dog can't change its habit of eating shit. This guy is probably thinking that his father is dead so that he can become the emperor. But Zhu Houzhao can't say anything about this. After all, everyone in the court knows about his father's body.
No, many people think that their father is not destined to live a long life, but they didn't expect that his father would die at the age of thirty-six.
"Do you know why?" Zhu Houzhao asked casually.
Liu Jin knelt on the ground with a plop: "Your Highness, I don't want to pry into His Majesty's privacy! I just heard people from Kunning Palace talking about it, and thought that Your Highness should go over and take a look, as a filial piety."
Although Zhu Houzhao asked very casually, Liu Jin knew that this matter was not casual at all. If he told what was going on, he would probably have to go to Nanjing to become a Jingjun.
"Okay, get up!" Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said: "I didn't tell you anything, what are you doing kneeling down? Since you know that I am going to Kunning Palace to fulfill my filial piety, why don't you lead the way!"
"Yes, yes, I will lead the way right now!" Liu Jin quickly agreed.
In fact, everyone present knew that Liu Jin almost made a mistake this time. Although His Highness the Crown Prince seemed casual and didn't say anything, he said everything. If Liu Jin hadn't knelt down quickly and what he said was reasonable, I guess Liu Jin would be right now
After being taken down, the people around him naturally became more cautious. Even Liu Jin was like this, let alone them.
Of course Zhu Houzhao did it on purpose. On the one hand, he was beating Liu Jin, and on the other hand, he was beating others. Put away your messy thoughts.
When Zhu Houzhao arrived at Kunning Palace, the imperial doctor was walking out from inside. Zhu Houzhao stopped him directly, and then asked: "Tell me, what's going on?"
