After the artillery, there is the cavalry, the neat and strict queue, the steel cuirass, the fierce cloak, the knights are very heroic, and the visiting envoys are all silent, although the cavalry is useless in the Indochina Peninsula, but, seeing so many warriors, itself is a manifestation of super strength. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

Da Ming, it was too powerful, and the envoys were very frustrated. Although they were sheltered under the wings of Da Ming at this time, they still had such strange emotions in their hearts.

However, in the field, among all the people who watched the parade, they were the only ones who were not very happy, and the others watched with relish, especially the younger sisters, who looked at it with bright eyes and red cheeks.

"In the future, I will also find a general to be my husband." The eldest of the five princesses muttered with a red face, she was more cheerful and bold since she was a child, and she dared to say all her thoughts.

This sentence happened to be heard by Zhu Youxiao, who looked at the fifth princess with a smile, "Fifth sister, don't use it in the future, if you like which, just tell the imperial brother, the imperial brother will go to propose to you." ”

"Ahh The blush on the face of the fifth imperial daughter Zhu Huiyan spread directly to the root of her ears, she never thought that her little voice was heard by the emperor's brother.

"Brother Huang..." she lowered her head, twisted the corners of her clothes with her hands, and didn't dare to look at Zhu Youxiao at all, her lips squirmed, but she didn't know what to say.

Fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls, when their hearts are first opened, when their hearts sprout, they are naturally a little infatuated when they see the heroic son, but this is a girl's unique feelings, how can it be told to outsiders?

"The fifth sister has a year to go out of the cabinet, if there is a son-in-law who can be seen, just tell the royal brother, the imperial brother will give you a marriage." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile, the speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, hearing this, Zhu Huiyan's heart moved.

As for Zhu Youxiao, at this time, a few people appeared in his mind, although they are in their early twenties, a few years older than their sister who raised the price, but they are only five or six years old, which is just right, and they are all their own henchmen, so they are not at ease if they marry others, it is better to marry their own sister.

Although the method of marriage is ancient, it is the most effective way to win over.

"That's right, I'll ask when I go to Mongolia." Zhu Youxiao made up his mind.

And at this time, the last cavalry was gone, and the whole parade ended. Speaking of which, this was just a small military parade, and the Communist Party was a few phalanxes, and then they showed their weapons and discipline, and there were no more. But Rao was like this, and he was also frightened by the fact that the envoys turned pale.

Zhu Youxiao is still very satisfied with the effect of the military parade, but he is not very satisfied with the military parade itself, the scale is too small, the time is too much, and it is too far from the large-scale military parades in later generations.

According to his plan, the next time a military parade is held, there should be many phalanxes, and then go around a few streets, so that the people of the entire Beijing division can see the heroic spirit of the soldiers.

At this point, the whole winter solstice pilgrimage meeting is over, and then there is a feast at noon, and in the afternoon, I will go home on vacation, rest for half a day, and go to work as usual the next day.

Next, the entire Ming Center has entered the last busy period, the summary of the previous year is over, in contrast, it is natural to know which ones have been done well, which ones have not been done well, and those that have not been done will continue to be maintained, and those that have not been done will start again in the next year.

According to this path, each department begins to formulate its own work plan and budget for the next year, and then submits it to the cabinet for approval.

This work is busy and cumbersome, but it has nothing to do with Zhu Youxiao, and his focus gradually shifted to assembling the army.

The tributes of various countries, most of the people who were able to do so, sent tribute rice, 400,000 quintals of rice, enough for his 200,000 troops to eat for half a year to a year, and it was enough to be used as military rations.

During this period, the various orders he had issued in the previous series began to take effect gradually.

The grassland, the city of Chahanhot, of course, is not called this name now, but Baicheng, which is the residence of the cavalry general Zhang Shize.

At this time, Baicheng was quite lively, full of endless streams of cars, horses and pedestrians, although the grassland was barren, but there were many special products, soil alkali, cattle, sheep and horses, and wool, which had recently become a bestseller, these commodities attracted a large number of traders.

The Ming merchants from the Guannai set up shops here, purchased goods, and then transported them to Beijing, Hebei, and Jiangnan to sell, and then transported the silk, cotton, tea, ironware, grain, etc. to the grassland to sell.

All the tribes close to Baicheng and Daming, the entire standard of living has gone up, and this has led to the pacification of all kinds of rebellions, after all, there is a good life, and no one wants to die.

The situation is becoming calmer and calmer, which leads to the growth of Zhang Shize's army, not only his cavalry army is fully organized, but also the city defense cavalry stationed in various cities is also neatly organized, although the combat effectiveness is not much, but at least they have steel knives and horses.

Around the rapidly built cement cities, the Mongolian steppe formed a series of trade and animal husbandry areas, and the herdsmen and tribes near here all submitted to the Ming Dynasty, accepted the management of the new government, established archives, and set up household registration.

By the time Lin Dan Khan was defeated and the entire Mongolian steppe was occupied, Zhu Youxiao would be able to establish a Mongol province.

On this day, in the morning, Zhang Shize was taking his Xiao cavalry to divide and attack together, practicing various tactical riding skills. It has been more than half a year since he stayed here to gather men and horses and train soldiers, and if it weren't for the various logistical materials and equipment sent on time, he would almost have thought that the emperor had forgotten about him.

Although the Xiao cavalry army was newly formed, the army building strategy of mainly Han slaves and supplemented by a small number of Mongolian elites allowed them to get through the steps of familiarizing themselves with horses and training horsemanship that the Han people needed to form cavalry at the beginning.

On the grassland, people who can't ride can't survive, although these Han slaves are all scarred and abnormally thin, but once they are allowed to take care of their bodies, they are all a tough mess.

The forbidden army under the command of the former Imperial Horse Supervisor was mainly formed by these slaves who could escape back to the Ming Dynasty, and their combat effectiveness was called the elite of the world, and they were regarded as the last barrier of the emperor, which shows their quality.

After the cavalry army was formed, it went through strict training, and all the steps were carried out in accordance with the infantry drill code, and then expanded to cavalry tactical training, and training with familiar equipment, in terms of military quality, they no longer have to be much weaker than the hussars.

Of course, in terms of combat effectiveness, it is somewhat inferior, and some things cannot be obtained by training alone.

Suddenly, several knights rode up, and behind them, there was a bright red banner, and the word "Ling" was waving in the wind, and the hunt was flying.

"What is this?" A recruit looked at it in confusion, not knowing what these horses were doing here, and whether they were attacking, he subconsciously seemed to step forward to stop them.

With a snap, a horsewhip whipped over him and struck him on the arm, making him grin in pain.

"Which bastard pumped me!" The recruit glared angrily, looking for the person who had whipped him, but he saw a face behind him that terrified him, his company commander.

"It's me!" The company commander said with a calm face.

"Company commander, why are you beating me?" Although the recruits are afraid, they are obviously stunned, and it doesn't matter if they are beaten, but they must find out the reason for the beating.

The company commander was questioned, but he was not angry, obviously knowing the character of this melon baby, "You wolf don't gnaw on things, don't you see the order flag clearly, that's the herald, according to military discipline, those who block the herald are regarded as defecting to the enemy, what?" If you want to join the enemy, where will you go to Lin Dan Khan? ”

The company commander sneered, and looked at the recruit with a flickering gaze, that look, obviously thinking again, where is the most appropriate knife. Obviously, the company commander was a veteran from several other armies and knew these things well.

"Surrender!" The recruit's face turned pale with fright, and his legs trembled twice unconsciously, obviously terrified of the charge.

At first, when the White City was first established, there were also Chahar herdsmen who were dissatisfied and plotted a rebellion, and a soldier in the Xiao Cavalry Army participated in it, and after the rebellion was suppressed, the soldiers were arrested on the spot on the charge of defecting to the enemy, and then beheaded in public, and after that, his family was driven out of the White City.

After that, no later, by the time they were found, they had frozen to death on the grassland. Moreover, the corpse was mutilated, and there were traces of hungry wolf gnawing all over the body, apparently being bitten to death first and then frozen.

This scene was caught by Zhang Shize and Chen Xin, the magistrate of Baicheng, as propaganda materials, hyped up, and frightened all the herdsmen who saw hope in their lives, this Mongolian recruit was one of them, and his parents told him to be careful not to commit this crime.

However, what I didn't expect was that I almost grabbed a circle on this edge and almost made a mistake.

"Haotian is above, it scares me to death." The Mongolian recruits had a lingering heart.

Seeing that he understood, his company commander no longer held on to it, but looked at the herald who had left and muttered, "I don't know what orders this will bring, whether there will be a fight!" ”

The soldiers under Zhu Youxiao all like to fight, how good it is to fight, in addition to the normal salary, there are combat allowances, rewards for those who are injured, and war dividends after the fight, and then they can also be credited, and they can be promoted by virtue of their merits. Even if you are injured, you are not afraid, the Taoist elders rescued, died and ascended to heaven, and continued to follow Your Majesty, and your rank can also enter the Heavenly Emperor Temple in the local county town and accept the incense offerings of the past dynasties.

Even if you don't die, you are not afraid of being crippled, the local city defense army, the police station, the militia training, so many positions are waiting, although the salary is not as high as here, but you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and you don't have to worry about no one to die when you're old, how good.

There are so many benefits to fighting a war, how could these soldiers not desire it.

"I wish it was an order to go on the march!" Even the Mongolian recruits were full of anticipation, and the various treatments he usually listened to the company commander said, he was simply hooked, and he couldn't wait to go to the battlefield immediately, and then take the honor and the reward.
