As expected, no official official from Yingtian Mansion appeared from beginning to end. In fact, the capital has its own rules. If something happens in a store with such a strong background, as long as no one is killed and no one sues, the government will not care.
of.
However, after this commotion, everyone lost interest. Zhou Yong led his disciples back to the military camp, while Wang Xian and others returned to the Prince's Mansion.
"Come back so early?" Zhu Zhanji couldn't go out with them to have fun because he wanted to maintain his image, so he stayed in the house and was depressed. When he saw Wang Xian coming back early, he immediately became happy: "What happened?"
"As you wished," Wang Xian rolled his eyes at him and said, "I was disturbed by the two boys named Xue."
"You mean Xue Xun, Xue Huan?" Zhu Zhanji guessed it right away.
"Uh...I heard he is the son of Marquis Yang Wu." Wang Xian nodded.
"It's just the two of them," Zhu Zhanji said with a wry smile: "Now the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple, and his family no longer recognizes his own family." Although his young army is mainly composed of civilian children, there are also children of meritorious generals.
And they are all brainy.
"I'm afraid the flood was intentional," Wang Xian sneered, "They clearly wanted to cause trouble, but I didn't expect that Qing Yishui, who was sitting next to me, was an elite person and had experts to help out, so they suffered this dumb loss.
"
"It doesn't make sense?" Zhu Zhanji frowned and said, "I'm not asking you to take over their errands."
"I haven't asked yet..." After hearing him mention this, Wang Xian asked: "What do you want me to do?"
"Has your heart finally returned to me?" Zhu Zhanji said with a smile.
"I'm back. From now on, I will serve your Highness wholeheartedly." Wang Xian said sarcastically.
"That's more or less." Zhu Zhanji said with a happy smile. Objectively speaking, he has all the conditions to become an excellent leader. When Wang Xian first arrived in the capital, although Zhu Zhanji was in great need of help, he was considerate of his situation and not only did not mention
Any request, and we actively help him solve the problem.
During this process, Wang Xian's feelings for him continued to deepen. Now that the problem was solved, he would naturally go all out to serve him. The effect was much better than half-heartedness. Why do some leaders end up betraying each other, and other leaders
But you can get everyone's wholehearted service. To a large extent, the difference lies in this point.
Many people don't understand this kind of clever way of controlling their subordinates until they are old. But Zhu Zhanji was already familiar with it at the age of sixteen or seventeen. He smiled slightly and said: "It's late tonight. You can do it early tomorrow morning."
Just follow me to the military camp and you will find out."
"Okay." Wang Xian had to wait until tomorrow to reveal the answer to the mystery.
As a result, he suffered from insomnia that night... To be honest, he thought at first that the Lao Shizi army was a big toy given by the emperor to his beloved grandson, and he came to the capital to play with Zhu Zhanji in cricket fights... Jester. But he is a wise man.
Zhou Xin woke him up. If you thought Youjun was just a child playing house, you would be totally wrong.
You must know that in the military sequence of the past dynasties, there is always an elite pro-army, which is subordinate to the prince and serves as an endorsement of the authority of the prince. For example, the three guards of the prince in the Sui Dynasty, the left and right guards of the East Palace in the Tang Dynasty, and the
Although this personal guard was abolished due to the civil war, there have been calls for the restoration of the personal guard for the prince over the years.
However, the emperor has not agreed. It was not until last year that he ordered the formation of a young army for the prince to practice battles and go out and defend. This is obviously the prototype of the prince's personal army. It is estimated that it will not be long before he is given a designation and becomes the Ming Dynasty's army.
A formal army. Going further, the imperial court will probably still use troops against the Tatars. According to the emperor's temperament, he will most likely have to fight in person. Based on the emperor's expectations for his grandson, it is very likely that he will take Zhu Zhanji to the battlefield. With this assumption, Xiao Zhanji will
The army's mission is ready to come out.
The opportunity is that most people now regard Youjun as a child's plaything, but Taisun undoubtedly attaches great importance to this matter. If he can perform positively, he will naturally leave an excellent impression on Taisun.
If you really have the opportunity to go to the battlefield in the future, you are more likely to get rewards beyond imagination.
That would be to go to the battlefield with Taisun. It is both beautiful and fast, and absolutely safe. There is really no better shortcut.
At Mao o'clock on the next day, someone from the palace called Wang Xian to get up. After having breakfast with Zhu Zhanji in the main hall, the two of them drove to the Youjun military camp in the north of the city. The capital of the Ming Dynasty still has a strong imprint of Taizu.
, the north of the city is the defense area of the garrison, and a large number of forbidden troops are stationed here. Therefore, the main building in the north of the city is the military camp. As time changes, many armies were withdrawn and moved, and camps were vacated from time to time. Last year, Emperor Yongle issued an order to
Taisun formed a young army, and the Ministry of War, which was responsible for recruiting troops, selected a military camp for Taisun inside the Jinchuan Gate in the north of the city.
On the carriage going to Jinchuan Gate, Zhu Zhanji told Wang Xian, "This young army was formed last year, and the personnel arrived in Beijing at the beginning of this year. They were taught the rules by the Ministry of War for two months. In fact, they were handed over not long ago.
I thought that I would be assigned an old general to take the helm, but the emperor said that in that case I would become a puppet and that I would be required to train the army myself. Therefore, there were no veteran generals, only those under twenty years old who had not yet attacked.
Choose your assistants from among the generals and disciples."
"This is giving you the opportunity to train your team, which is a good thing." Wang Xiandao.
"I know. But you also know that all noble generals and my second uncle wear the same pants." Zhu Zhanji said depressedly: "He said hello, and those princes and uncles who were in love with him were not allowed to wear the same pants.
The children join the young army."
"Aren't there also many noble disciples?"
"They are basically the nobles and nobles of Taizu who have stood aside. They want to reincarnate themselves and let their children mix with me." Zhu Zhanji said: "Big bosses like Yang Wuhou have a big feud with Ji Gang.
, and then I and my second uncle also hated him, so I deliberately went against him and asked his children to mess with me. There will be no second case."
"Is this important?" Wang Xian realized that the other party was telling him tactfully that he wanted to have a good relationship with the two darlings of the Xue family. He didn't understand why Zhu Zhanji valued those two dudes so much: "I mean,
What’s the difference between those who don’t have noble descendants and those who have noble descendants? What’s the difference between old nobles and new nobles?”
"The difference is huge," Zhu Zhanji said with a wry smile: "You know, in the Ming Dynasty, the military and civilians have been clearly divided for decades. Training and fighting is the business of military households, while civilian households farm and grow mulberry trees. This time
But for the first time, the Young Army recruits people from ordinary households, so they have no foundation in martial arts."
"Isn't it good to have a whiteboard? You can practice whatever you want." Wang Xiandao.
"That's good." Zhu Zhanji showed admiration and said, "I think so too." He said with a grimace, "But how can you practice without officers? You must have a large number of middle- and lower-level officers who are experienced in the service."
Turn those more than 10,000 ordinary people into soldiers, and only then can we talk about training."
"Aren't you asking nobles and nobles to serve as middle and lower-level officers?" Wang Xianxin said, why do I sound so unreliable?
"Of course not. Although the noble generals are all good at leading troops, their children and grandchildren... really can't be mentioned." Zhu Zhanji sighed: "What I value is not them, but the connections of their fathers.
.You are so smart, so you don’t need to say it clearly."
"Understood." Wang Xian nodded. Zhu Zhanji gave the nobles' children a position as a mid-level and senior officer. In order not to embarrass their children and grandchildren, the nobles would definitely choose a group of reliable subordinates to serve as subordinates for their children. Even though this is the case,
It will cause many factions in the army, but it is a good way to quickly form a young army starting from scratch. Moreover, Zhu Zhanji is a grandson, so not only is he not afraid of factions, but he is happy to see the emergence of factions.
However, only the heroes of Jingnan had troops. Those founding nobles had been standing aside for many years, and there was no one available for them. In Zhu Zhanji's eyes, they were of little value.
Xue Lu, the Marquis of Yangwu, was the right governor of the Zuo Army Governor's Mansion, one of the top five military leaders. Moreover, two years ago, Shangshu requested to train military ministers' children, and he made great efforts to do so. It can be imagined that Zhu Zhanji
I really hope I can get help from this person.
"Okay, I'll go apologize to those two boys." Wang Xian is still very knowledgeable. Of course, this is related to his thick skin.
"No, no, you misunderstood." Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said, "I am asking you to forgive them, not to apologize to them."
"Uh..." Wang Xian was a little confused: "I am a proud man of heaven, do you want to apologize to me, a little scholar?"
"When you enter my military camp, you will be judged according to your position in the camp." Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said.
"What on earth did you want me to do?"
"I'm going to make you my military advisor." Zhu Zhanji finally stopped talking.
"Pfft, military advisor..." Wang Xian laughed and said, "Do you think it's an opera?"
"How could it be an opera?" Zhu Zhanji said seriously: "In "Three Kingdoms", there are military advisors offering wine, military advisors and generals. Xun You, Guo Jia, Kong Ming, Pang Tong and others all held this position."
"But I, the Ming Dynasty, do not have the position of military advisor."
"My Ming Dynasty has never had a young army." Zhu Zhanji rolled his eyes and said: "I have the final say on my army. If there is a military advisor, there will be a military advisor."
"Okay..." Wang Xian had no choice but to agree: "Then what exactly do I want to do?"
"I checked the ancient books and gave you the power to control the situation and supervise the army." Zhu Zhanji said solemnly.
Wang Xian immediately opened his mouth. The so-called "measure of all matters" means that he can handle all major and minor matters in the army at his own discretion. Coupled with the power to supervise the army, his status in the young army is second only to the Tai Tai.
Sun, this, this is too ridiculous... Although the young army is not a regular army, there are more than 13,000 people, including a lot of sons of various princes and uncles, who will take military positions in the future, at least they will be
Qianhu, commanders and the like. I am a miscellaneous official with no rank or rank. I am embarrassed to mention this status after entering the capital. I always use the title of scholar to hide my shame. Why should I be above them?
"Thank you for your respect, but I'm not qualified. If you force me to go up, everyone will be dissatisfied." Although a man does his job, he still has to know how much food he has to eat, rather than being unable to survive and being driven away in despair.
, it would be better to reject it right from the start.
"You don't have to worry about this." Zhu Zhanji had an expression that said, "I have already made a plan." He blinked and said, "Master Yao's disciple serves as a military advisor in our army. Who dares to disobey?"
