Chapter 11: The Imperial Horse Supervisor 1
This team of guards was sent by Wanli Jia to Zhu Youxiao≡ since he knew that his precious grandson liked to wander around, he was worried about Zhu Youxiao's safety, and then arranged for these twenty more warrior guards of the Imperial Horse Guard, who were on duty once a month.
The forbidden army under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Prison is extremely important, and the degree of review of its members is not much worse than the political examination of the conscription of the Celestial Empire in later generations, or even stricter, because it is necessary to guard the imperial palace.
For so many years, the forbidden army under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Prison has long become a closed system, and the sergeants have been favored by the country and are still relatively loyal. Of course, the tradition of the Imperial Horse Prison accepting fugitives from the south has not changed, but in recent years, the Mongolian tribes have become more and more rotten and unbearable, and every time they invade the south, they can't grab anything, and even the fugitives are getting fewer and fewer.
Fortunately, the Imperial Horse Prison still has the Tengxiang Four Guards, the military households in the Four Guards are hereditary, the source of soldiers is quite stable, and the number of the Four Guards Battalion and the Warrior Battalion is less.
But no matter how few there are, there will be dozens of additions every year. And these fugitives are generally supplemented to the Four Guards Battalion and the Warrior Battalion.
From the point of view of the law of survival of the fittest, those who can escape from Mongolia are all strong and nimble-minded, and with a little training, they are the elite of the soldiers, and everyone can ride horses, which is the best cavalry material.
In addition, the purpose of the establishment of the Four Guards Battalion and the Warrior Battalion was to select the elite from the Tengxiang Four Guards to set up another battalion. The combat power of the Four Guards Battalion and the Warrior Battalion has always been above the Teng Xiang Four Guards, and their status is also higher, and they are all cavalry.
In the official face, the sergeants in the four guard battalions and warrior battalions are generally called warriors, and the sergeants in the four guards are the banner army, and these two titles refer specifically to the soldiers in these two troops.
The establishment of the Siwei Battalion and the Warrior Battalion was much later than that of the Tengxiang Siwei, and it was established when the three major battalions of the Beijing Division were established during the Jiajing period. Its number is much smaller than that of the four guards of Tengxiang, but its combat power is stronger, and the treatment and food are also more favorable.
Compared with the local guards, the banner army of Tengxiang Siwei changes more frequently, and it is not so fixed. Elite warriors will be added to the two battalions in a special way.
And this supplementary method is the annual June 15 selection competition.
Zhu Youxiao's strength can be said to be born with divine power, and such a good physical condition makes him move his mind to practice martial arts. It has been five years since he came to this era, and the long-term vision that surpasses the entire era has made his heart big, big.
"Kang Mazi can blow the name of a Holy Ancestor, and there is no reason for my dignified traverser to be worse than him!" Zhu Youxiao thought with some excitement in his heart. This is the truest thought in his heart, and it is also the greatest ambition in his heart, he hopes that after his death, he can be called the beginning of the game of the Holy Ancestor ∠ Qi Donglai, so that Zhu Youxiao is very proud, and the desire in his heart is infinitely expanded.
The ancients had three immortals, and they made meritorious contributions. In fact, this is not only the innermost desire of literati, but also the desire of every normal person who desires to realize his self-worth. Life is short, and the hope of immortality can only be pinned on external things, and future generations are such products, and the three immortals are also such products.
In his previous life, when Zhu Youxiao started writing, he did not have such thoughts in his heart. Now, he is destined to become the emperor, and he has been able to leave a mark on the sweat. Standing at the pinnacle of the Human Emperor, he felt that the three immortals were only a stone's throw away from him, as if he could touch it as soon as he stretched out his hand, how could this not make him excited?
Qin Yingzheng, Han Xiaozhu, Tang Li Er, Ming monk, these four panicked emperors have made a good example for him, and summarized from the past of these four emperors, it is nothing more than four words, cultural and martial arts. Wenzhi can't come in his turn, and when the time comes, he only needs to choose the idea that best suits the trend from countless thinkers, and what can really let him play is nothing more than martial arts.
Second, if you want to make achievements in the country's martial arts, personal force cannot be bypassed no matter what, especially in such a turbulent world at the end of the Ming Dynasty, force is the top priority.
Five years of non-stop exercise, so that Zhu Youxiao has an incomparable understanding of his body, thanks to the crossing, his body is much stronger than ordinary children, although it is still growing and developing, but the bones are already very strong, can withstand a relatively large amount of training.
If you want to push the country's martial arts to the pinnacle, a monarch must be proficient in the art of war, strategy, battle formation, and the fastest and most effective way to understand a thing is to practice it and practice it. This is the best place to practice the martial arts of the battle array.
The perennial exercise makes the five-year-old Zhu Youxiao look a little thin, and his body is full of strong muscles, without the unique baby fat of children of this age. His stature is not very tall, less than a meter, and the white silk practice clothes are slightly larger on him, which looks a little comic and funny.
However, this picture can make countless little girls cute, but no one dares to laugh at the eunuchs and palace maids who follow them. Although they may have this thought in their hearts, they dare not show it at all.
This is the result of Zhu Youxiao's accumulation of prestige in the past one or two years. The means are simple, rewards and punishments. When he drove an old woman in the East Palace who was chewing her tongue behind her back and spreading rumors to the Huanyi Bureau, the eunuchs of all sizes were shocked, no matter how small the tiger was, it would eat people.
The rumor spread by the old mother is very simple, but it is said that the number of grandsons is too hard, and the princes and princesses behind him are killed. Zhu Youxiao had heard this rumor a long time ago, but he didn't take it seriously. However, this old mother thought that he was young and ignorant, so she said in front of him that Zhu Youxiao couldn't bear it anymore and attacked her on the spot.
The little man ran on the edge of the royal road, his soft black hair scattered behind his head, fluttering in the wind. The eyes are resolute, the lips are pursed, and the short body gives people a sense of indomitable sharpness.
"See Your Highness!" The thick and neat male voice was accompanied by the sound of metal colliding, which was the visit of the palace guards. After Zhu Youxiao heard the voice, he didn't turn his head, but just bowed his head slightly, indicating that he knew. After that, he ran past those guards without looking back, and these palace guards only got up when Zhu Youxiao ran over a while, and when they got up, there was still a trace of admiration on their faces.
"It is worthy of being a descendant of the heavenly family, such perseverance ......" The captain led by him sighed, thinking of his son who was two years older than his grandson but still peeing and mud, and couldn't help but shake his head frequently: "It can't be compared." ”
"See Your Highness." Some continuous popping and shrill screeching sounds were heard, which were eunuchs walking on the road. This will Zhu Youxiao was not as polite as just now, and ran in front of the eunuchs who knelt on the ground expressionlessly. These green-robed eunuchs didn't care either, and they didn't get up from the ground until Zhu Youxiao ran far away.
After getting up, these eunuchs walked together, discussing in a low voice as they walked and discussing the imperial grandson who had just passed by, and all kinds of strange and terrifying rumors kept popping up. What was guarded by the star monarch when he was born, how many eunuchs were killed by what rod, how many palace maids were beaten into the Huanyi Bureau, and so on.
Most of the rumors about Zhu Youxiao in the palace appeared under such circumstances, and then spread around through the mouths of different people. Among them, some eunuchs mentioned that they should be extremely respectful when they meet Taisun in the future, because Taisun seems to be harsh on domestic slaves.
Indeed, compared with the palace maids, in the past year or two, Zhu Youxiao has basically punished eunuchs of all sizes, except for the old mother who was the first to be attacked by him, he basically did not punish these poor women. Maybe it's because of the impression of his previous life, or maybe it's because there was a eunuch who came to assassinate him on the first day of his crossing, in short, Zhu Youxiao has always had a little resistance to the eunuchs in the palace and a little disgust.
Consciousness affects action, Zhu Youxiao will naturally show such thoughts in his ordinary behavior, and the eunuchs are particularly sensitive in this aspect because of their physical disabilities, and they can easily feel the true psychology of His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson.
"It's been a few years, and although I've felt it many times, I still feel very good psychologically!" Looking at the guards and eunuchs kneeling on the ground beside him, Zhu Youxiao felt a great sense of vanity and satisfaction in his heart. He knew it was a bad feeling, but it just couldn't be overcome.
This sentiment was felt when he became a prison guard, and in prison, prisoners and prison guards are literally two classes. When encountering a police officer, they have to give way, they have to open the door, they have to crouch down to talk, even if it is a whole group of prisoners walking horizontally, the prison guards must stop and get out of the way in the middle.
Compared with the little bit of the feeling of being a human being at the beginning, this feeling in this life is even more obvious, especially after he punished a few eunuchs at will according to his own will, it swelled even more. This feeling of dominating others made him extremely intoxicated.
"This is the temptation of power!" After being a little intoxicated, Zhu Youxiao woke up from this intoxication, and he understood that if he didn't work hard, after a few decades, he would be the one who was looked down upon.
Running non-stop all the way, Zhu Youxing became a little out of breath, and the eunuchs who followed behind were unbearable, all of them fell behind, none of them followed, only the team of palace guards who were responsible for protecting him were still guarding on both sides.
When he arrived at Donghua Gate, Zhu Youxing couldn't run anymore, others were still young, and his physical strength was so much. When the guards of Donghua Gate saw him coming, they did not stop him, but knelt down on one knee to pay respects. This is Zhu Youxiao's will to come and go with Wanli with great difficulty, and let him come and go freely in the palace and the imperial city.
Turn left out of the Donghua Gate, enter the east and go to the north gate is a building complex, there are some institutions of the twenty-four prisons, the side is the moat of the Forbidden City, and there are some duty rooms by the river, which is where the palace guards are stationed, and every once in a while, the guards inside come out to patrol. After seeing Zhu Youxiao, these guards were not surprised, and they knelt down to salute one after another.
Walking all the way, resting while walking, Zhu Youxiao soon came to the Imperial Horse Prison. At this time, the eunuchs who had fallen behind also rushed over.
Seeing that they were still panting, Zhu Youxiao was a little disdainful: "It's still an adult, and even the physical strength of a child like me can't compare." Hearing the complaint of His Royal Highness the Taisun, several eunuchs, including Li Jinzhong, all smiled bitterly, and had to slander in their hearts that everyone was as healthy as you and a little monster.
