Immediately, the Yulin guard came forward and dragged the wailing Xiao Dezi out. Xiao Dezi was so favored by Zhu Houzhao that he acted quite erratically, which naturally offended a group of people.
It's just that there is nothing we can do against Xiao Dezi, but this does not mean that Xiao Dezi has no enemies.
Now Xiao Dezi's actions have fallen into Chu Yi's eyes, but they have touched Chu Yi's bottom line.
Chu Yi spent a lot of effort to introduce Zhu Houzhao into the formal system, and he became somewhat like a wise king. As a result, Xiao Dezi showed signs of becoming a powerful eunuch.
Not to mention whether Xiao Dezi can become a powerful eunuch in the future, but it is not a good thing for Zhu Houzhao to favor and trust such an arrogant servant like Xiao Dezi.
It is said that it is difficult to learn well and very easy to learn bad. In order to influence Zhu Houzhao so that he could get on the right track and have the faint possibility of becoming a wise king, a small virtue appeared halfway.
It was obviously impossible for Chu Yi not to understand some of Xiao Dezi's deeds, but because he was concerned about Zhu Houzhao's face, Chu Yi did not touch Xiao Dezi.
But he never thought that Xiao Dezi would be so unwilling to restrain himself, and suddenly bumped into Chu Yi's gun. After all, how Xiao Dezi behaved on weekdays, it was fine that Chu Yi had not encountered him, but now in front of Chu Yi and others
In front of Xiao Dezi, he was still so arrogant. It would be strange if Chu Yi didn't react.
Seeing Xiao Dezi being dragged down, Yang Yiqing and other nobles who had accompanied Zhu Houzhao to leave the capital showed some smiles on their faces.
Xungui has risen, but everyone has not forgotten the situation of being suppressed by civil servants before. The reason why Xungui has a position in the court now is precisely because of the strong support of Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao.
If Zhu Houzhao, the emperor who was expected to make the Xungui Group rise, turned into a coward, Yang Yiqing could guarantee that those civil servants would never miss the opportunity to suppress the Xungui Group.
In front of the camp gate, several soldiers who were stunned by this scene looked at Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao and the others in disbelief.
Although they had already guessed that Chu Yi and others had a good identity, they never dreamed that the people they blocked from the barracks were actually the emperor of the day and King Wu Chu Yi and others.
Chu Yi stepped forward and showed a token, nodded slightly at the pale soldiers and said: "This is the token, you can check it out!"
I saw the corps commander taking the token from Chu Yi with trembling hands. After carefully inspecting it, he knelt down in front of Zhu Houzhao and others with a thump, and said in a trembling voice: "We can't see Mount Tai, but we can't see it."
I don’t know that His Majesty’s visit is really a crime worthy of death, a crime worthy of death..."
The soldiers were already frightened, but now they saw their corps commander kneeling on the ground. They almost instinctively knelt on the ground and knelt down to Zhu Houzhao and others.
Zhu Houzhao turned over and dismounted, took a step forward to help the captain up, and at the same time said to several soldiers: "Commanders, please get up quickly. You have performed your duties faithfully. What crime have you committed?"
Those soldiers knelt on the ground fearfully and did not dare to get up. After all, in their view, what they did before was to stop the holy driver, and they were afraid that they would lose their heads.
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao asked them to get up, but no one dared to believe it. Naturally, they knelt on the ground and refused to get up.
Chu Yi stepped forward and looked at the few people and said solemnly: "You are not joking. His Majesty said that you are not guilty, so you are not guilty. You have performed your duties faithfully. Not only are you not guilty, but you have merit."
Zhu Houzhao nodded when he heard the words and said: "What the senior companion said is true. Several soldiers have made meritorious service and will be promoted to the third level. This will be circulated throughout the army as a reward."
Those soldiers felt that all this was like a dream. First, they consciously offended the emperor, and there was only one way to die. Their hearts sank into the valley. In the blink of an eye, Chu Yi and the emperor actually told them that they were not guilty, and even Zhu Houzhao
It is even more important to reward them, naturally it is like in a dream.
"His Majesty……"
Yang Yiqing, as the Minister of War, was also nominally the superior officer of these soldiers. He glanced at these soldiers and said, "Your Majesty is so eloquent. What are you waiting for? Why don't you get up and apologize to Your Majesty!"
At this moment, the soldiers, who seemed to be in a dream, finally recovered a little. Their eyes swept over Chu Yi and others, and glanced at Zhu Houzhao secretly, and found that there was a bit of a smile on Zhu Houzhao's face.
It was not the angry look they imagined, and they couldn't help but secretly let out a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, His Highness King Wu!"
There was a lot of movement at the entrance of the camp. At this moment, Sun Qiu, who was ordered to take charge of the military camp, hurried over with several generals. From a distance, he saw Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao and his party at the entrance.
When they saw Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao and others, Sun Qiu and other generals couldn't help but feel a thump in their hearts.
Chu Yi gave them the task of training soldiers. If something went wrong when Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao came to check, they would be the unlucky ones.
Chu Yi couldn't get rid of the dirt in his eyes. Not to mention Sun Qiu and others, they could be regarded as Chu Yi's direct descendants, but once something happened, Chu Yi would not talk to him about kindness and would definitely deal with it how he should handle it.
"The general is waiting to pay homage to His Majesty. Your Majesty, King Wu, is late to greet you. Please forgive me for your coming."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand slightly to signal Sun Qiu and others to stand up, and then said to Sun Qiu: "I am very happy that these soldiers can stick to their posts and fulfill their duties loyally. I have promised several people to be promoted to the third level, but Nan'anbo
Don’t forget it!”
Sun Qiu couldn't help but feel his heart drop when he heard this. He was afraid that the guards guarding the camp gate would do something that violated military discipline.
Now looking at Zhu Houzhao's expression and reaction, it is obvious that things are not as bad as he imagined.
"I will thank Your Majesty on their behalf!"
While speaking, Sun Qiu and others turned slightly to Zhu Houzhao, Chu Yi and others said: "Your Majesty, Chief Manager, please come into the camp!"
Entering the military camp, an air of solemnity immediately hit your face. There were barracks lined up one after another. Along the way, you could see groups of soldiers patrolling the military camp. It can be said that it was very orderly.
Just looking at these, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but nod his head. As an emperor who was determined to open up new territories and expand his territory, with the goal of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Chengzu Zhu Di, it was naturally impossible for Zhu Houzhao to have little understanding of military strategy.
As for what the Ming Dynasty's army looked like, Zhu Houzhao actually knew it well. Otherwise, Zhu Houzhao would not have issued an order to rectify the Beijing camp and mobilize elites from border towns to form the Tengxiang Four Guards Camp not long after he ascended the throne.
It was precisely because of his understanding of the current situation of the Ming Dynasty's army that Zhu Houzhao realized how difficult it was to have such an orderly atmosphere in this recruit camp.
The recruits themselves need time to train and restrain. If they don't have some ability, let alone other things, I am afraid that the most basic order of these 100,000 recruits cannot be maintained, let alone any training.
Yang Yiqing and others looked at the scene around them with a bit of surprise in their eyes. They were obviously deeply surprised that Sun Qiu and other generals could manage a new military camp in such an orderly manner.
Yang Yiqing couldn't help but admired: "No wonder the general manager recommended Nan Anbo to your Majesty to take charge of the training of the new army. I didn't know that Nan Anbo had such an ability in training the army!"
Sun Qiu couldn't help but bowed to Yang Yiqing with a humble face after hearing this: "Master Shangshu is ridiculous. Your Majesty and the General Manager have great trust in me. I should do my best, lest I disappoint Your Majesty and the General Manager. Compared with Master Shangshu,
Tao Lue, the final general is far inferior..."
Zhu Houzhao heard the conversation between Yang Yiqing and Sun Qiu and couldn't help laughing. While laughing, he looked at Sun Qiu with great appreciation and said: "What the Duke of Jin said is true. I never thought that Nan Anbo would have such training."
When it comes to knowing people, I am far inferior to Daban!"
Under Sun Qiu's guidance and introduction, Zhu Houzhao, Chu Yi and others spent half a day walking around the entire barracks and had a detailed understanding of the situation of the new army.
A barracks appeared in everyone's sight. It was Sun Qiu's tent in the new military camp. Except that this barracks was a little larger than the soldiers' barracks, there was not much difference in other aspects.
Entering the barracks, everyone took their seats. Zhu Houzhao looked at Sun Qiu and other generals expectantly and said, "Nan Anbo, I see that these soldiers already look a bit like soldiers. I wonder how long it will take to form an army?"
It was originally estimated that it would take at least a year to train from new recruits to being able to fight in the army, but this time he went into the barracks in person, and Zhu Houzhao was somewhat looking forward to it. After all, there were so many people in the new barracks.
The performance of these newly recruited soldiers far exceeded Zhu Houzhao's expectations.
Sun Qiu was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhu Houzhao with an expectant look on his face, hesitated for a moment and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, military and national affairs cannot be ignored. I can guarantee that the army can be formed in eight months at most. If the time is any shorter,
If so, I dare not make the slightest guarantee."
Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction and said: "I am very pleased that the time can be shortened from one year to eight months, but Nan Anbo is very capable!"
To be honest, even Chu Yi never thought that Sun Qiu had such an ability to train troops. You must know that many excellent generals can lead troops and charge into battle, but they may not be able to train troops.
Chu Yi had previously only discovered that the team led by Sun Qiu was more orderly than the teams led by other generals. As the saying goes, he is taller among the dwarfs, but he never thought that he would actually find a treasure.
The army has never lacked brave generals who can charge into battle. With hundreds of thousands of troops, if you are willing, you can definitely find many brave men. However, generals like Sun Qiu who have the ability to train troops are extremely rare.
Zhu Houzhao turned sideways and said to Chu Yi: "Big companion, Nan Anbo has such a great talent. I am going to hand over the second batch of recruits to Nan Anbo for training. I wonder what your thoughts are?"
Chu Yi smiled slightly, his eyes fell on Sun Qiu and said: "Uncle Nan An, please thank your Majesty quickly!"
Sun Qiu reacted and quickly stood up and knelt down in front of Zhu Houzhao. He said with a bit of excitement on his face: "The final general will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations."
Zhu Houzhao handed over the training authority of the 200,000 new troops to Sun Qiu. This was definitely a great trust in Sun Qiu. You must know that these new troops were trained in the hands of Sun Qiu. Although he dare not say that the 200,000 new troops were trained by Sun Qiu.
Sun Qiu's brand is imprinted on him, but it also highlights Sun Qiu's excellence to a certain extent. With such qualifications, Sun Qiu will surely rise to great heights in the future. Besides, with such a great power to train troops, if he hadn't really won
As for the emperor's heart, how could it be possible to leave it completely in the hands of one person?
On the official road, Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao and others were slowly returning to the capital. The monarch and his ministers were walking side by side, and Zhu Houzhao was talking to Chu Yi in a low voice.
Suddenly, a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats came from the front, and several Yulin Guards almost instinctively drove their horses forward to protect Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao and others behind them.
Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi looked up at the visitor and saw a group of people rushing towards them. The man was wearing a flying fish uniform that was quite eye-catching.
I saw everyone turned over and dismounted, and all bowed to Zhu Houzhao before falling down and saying: "I, Qian Ning, pay homage to your Majesty! I have met the chief steward!"
The person who came was none other than Qian Ning, the commander in charge of Jin Yiwei.
Zhu Houzhao looked at Qian Ning, raised his brows and said with some confusion: "Qian Ning, why are you here in such a hurry? Could it be that you have something important to do with me?"
Qian Ning took a deep breath and said behind him: "Lin De, why don't you come to see His Majesty quickly and tell His Majesty and the Chief Manager everything you have seen and heard?"
Among the several Jinyiwei warriors who had prostrated themselves on the ground, a Jinyiwei warrior who was obviously tired of his career took a few steps forward on his knees and respectfully said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty Lin De, Tian is a Jinyiwei spy. I have been ordered to accompany the Imperial Supervisor to arrest General Lu.
The resistance caravan went to Japan..."
It turned out that Lin De was actually a member of Lu Kang's royal caravan. Lu Kang was careless and almost all of them were killed by the Japanese pirates.
However, the small boat that Linde and the others were on was lucky enough to escape. It floated on the sea for nearly ten days, ate all the food on the boat, drank all the water, and almost died on the sea.
, during which a few people who escaped even broke out in internal strife in order to compete for the last food and water. Linde used his good skills to kill several companions by force, and finally returned to the Ming Dynasty.
Linde did not dare to trust the local Jin Yiwei, so he relied on his hard work to rob a local wealthy businessman who was unkind and wealthy. He used the robbed gold and silver to buy horses and traveled from the southeast coast in a few days.
A dozen fast horses were killed and they rushed to the capital.
Listening to Linde's story about how their fleet was hunted down by Japanese pirates at sea, everyone looked shocked.
Everyone knows that with the permission of Chu Yi, the imperial eunuch formed a caravan directly belonging to the Ming royal family, and this caravan was secretly called the Ming royal caravan by the civil and military officials, although it was not
The young officials were involved in countless impeachment attempts, but they could not even pass the cabinet level.
Counting the time, it has been almost two or three months since the Ming Dynasty royal caravan went to sea. If Linde had not brought the news that the caravan was besieged by Japanese pirates, Yang Yiqing and others would have almost forgotten about this unique caravan.
