Chapter 146: The guards of the Qianqing Palace exchange blood

Zhu Qizhen frowned and said, "Why is this so? ”

Liu Yongcheng said: "This batch, in fact, has wiped out the younger generation of officers in the guard. There were even many sons and daughters of the princes who participated. After this group of people can take up their posts, even if there are still people coming, there will be a gap in talent. ”

Zhu Qizhen suddenly understood. In fact, there is no strict age limit for this group of people, the youngest student is about fifteen or sixteen years old, and the oldest student is almost thirty.

This group of people has already given up the Ming age. It's all here. After all, although the Ming Dynasty has more than 300 guards, there are tens of thousands of hereditary generals. However, in general, the number of people included in the scope of martial arts enrollment is still relatively small.

Zhu Qizhen pondered for a while. said: "In the future, other sons other than the sons of each family can also participate in martial arts, and if they can't take up their posts after graduation, they can also serve as guards first." The imperial court is using people's strategies, as long as you have skills, are you afraid that heroes will not be useful? ”

Although Zhu Qizhen said so.

But in my heart, I am disgusted with the system of the guard, this system inherited by generations of descendants. But I also know that this is not easy.

For a while, the idea of recruiting a group of new troops was born in his heart.

In this army, all the officers were born in martial arts, and the soldiers were strictly selected from the guards. It can even allow the non-guard system to enter.

It's just that the five people with the most outstanding martial arts in front of him, in Zhu Qizhen's opinion, are not enough to stand alone, so this matter will be put aside for the time being.

However, this seed was planted.

Liu Yongcheng immediately agreed not to say anything.

Zhu Qizhen inspected martial arts, and he had some confidence in his heart.

When he returned to the palace, he summoned Shi Jing and Li Dachuan. Zhu Qizhen said: "You have been by my side for several years, and if you continue, it will delay your future." This time, I ordered Yang Hong to gather more than 10,000 cavalry, go out to inspect Kaiping, Daning's old land, and the guards of the Qianqing Palace, select half of them, and follow Yang Hong for a walk, and you will all serve under Yang Hong. You must not think that you have been on an errand in the Qianqing Palace, and you must know that General Yang Hong is the Great Wall of my Ming Dynasty. You need to be respectful. ”

Li Dachuan and Shi Jing glanced at each other, and a moment of joy flashed in their hearts.

Zhu Qizhen has not stopped exercising over the years. The guards around him naturally didn't dare not accompany him. Their attitude towards Zhu Qizhen's towards the tile spur could not be clearer.

They all understand that there will be a battle between Daming and Waspur.

And Yang Hong is on the front line of Daming and Tile Spur.

Since Uncle Huichang was taken away from the title, the Sun family said several times in front of Zhu Qizhen that he wanted to restore the title of Count Huichang, but Zhu Qizhen would rather be punished and kneeling than take back his fate.

It was also the Empress Dowager who suppressed the Sun family.

In this way, the so-called relatives of the Ming Dynasty all know that they want to become a member of the noble family by marrying a daughter, or marrying a princess. It's no longer possible.

But Zhu Qizhen also revealed the news to the outside through Princess Changde, he did not oppose the knighthood of his relatives, but opposed the knighthood of his relatives for no merit, in fact, he had a lot of merits in marrying with the heavenly family.

For example, the Gongshun Bo Wu family just mentioned, the Wu family has a daughter who married Emperor Xuanzong, but she was empty and childless. It is also because of Zhu Qizhen's kindness that he can retire in Jingling, Changping.

As for the Empress Dowager's lineage, not to mention, Pengchenghou's lineage is also a credit.

Therefore, many of these noble sons and daughters around Zhu Qizhen want to make contributions on the battlefield.

This is the overall atmosphere of the Ming military circles, they have never taken the Mongols seriously, and always feel that the reason why the Mongols have not been destroyed now is just because they run fast on four legs.

It can be said that the one who faces the tile spur the most is not the tile spur Taishi Yexian, but Zhu Qizhen himself.

At least, Shi Jing, Li Dachuan and others, they didn't think that they would fail. I only thought about meritorious service.

Seeing this, Zhu Qizhen didn't say anything, and reappointed Yang Xin, Han Qing, and Wu Jin as the commanders of the guards of the Qianqing Palace. Yang Xin is positive, Han Qing and Wu Jin are deputies, Yang Xin is close to Zhu Qizhen at all times, and Han Qing and Wu Jin are in charge of two shifts day and night. Rotation on duty.

This is also a manifestation of Zhu Qizhen's self-confidence.

Zhu Qizhen had been worried in his heart before, and the disaster originated in the Xiao Wall. Therefore, these 300 guards of the Qing Palace are not only the last guarantee of his life, but also a channel for him to contact the nobles.

But that's no longer the case.

After Zhu Qizhen's wedding, the Empress Dowager was ill for a long time.

At the beginning, the Empress Dowager's illness was more of a political gesture, expressing an attitude of not wanting to take care of things, but after a long time, I don't know if the Empress Dowager saw that Zhu Qizhen could stand alone, and as soon as the breath in her heart was relaxed, her body began to become sick. 、

Neither the Empress Dowager is psychologically nor physically equipped to be in charge of an empire.

After Zhu Qizhen was completely relieved of the situation in the palace, he wanted to play another role of the guards of the Qianqing Palace, that is, these guards of the Qianqing Palace were placed in the army as their eyes, ears and tentacles.

After all, these guards of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Qizhen has been with them for several years, and many people can name them. Whether in the eyes of outsiders or in their own opinion, these people are Zhu Qizhen's diehard loyalists.

Now Zhu Qizhen's understanding of the Ming army is through two aspects, one is a high-level general, and the other is through the Jinyi guard's investigation.

But both of these aspects are very one-sided.

Zhu Qi

On the one hand, the town hopes to strengthen its control over the Ming army through this group of people, and on the other hand, it also looks at a real Ming army through their perspective.

Zhu Qizhen graduated this time, and also communicated with the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and more than 100 people of the first class entered the guards of the Qianqing Palace, some of them could go home to take up their posts, and the other part was all appeased among the middle and low-level officers of Datong and Xuanfu.

What will be the results in the future.

It's up to time to answer.

Just when Yang Xin changed into the clothes of a guard, under the leadership of Shi Jing, he was on duty for the first time. When Shi Jing was explaining the key points of the guards of the Qianqing Palace to Yang Xin one by one. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the sand field was rampant, and then black clouds overwhelmed the city, and the city of Beijing seemed to have a solar eclipse all of a sudden.

There is a kind of finger that is missing.

Seeing such a celestial phenomenon, Yang Xin was a little worried, feeling that the first day of duty today was really not smooth. But seeing Shi Jing overjoyed, he said: "Daxi, this is Daxi, go and report to Your Majesty." ”

There is no need for anyone to report it at all.

Zhu Qizhen was already standing at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, his hands were spread, and he said, "Good wind and rain." ”

This is the first heavy rain of the year, and the long dry season that has spread from last winter to this summer is finally over. The people of Hebei finally have a way to live.

In total, this year's drought is much younger than last year, mainly due to the effectiveness of disaster relief, and the locust plague was limited to a small scale, which preserved the May harvest.

Today's heavy rain will ensure a harvest this autumn.

But the worries in Zhu Qizhen's heart are also slowly growing. Because in the past few years, if it doesn't rain, there will be drought, and if it rains, it will be waterlogged, and Zhu Qizhen has seen it I don't know how many times.

What is the situation in Hebei, Zhu Qizhen can only pin his hopes on Yu Qian.

Zhu Qizhen immediately summoned Ma Shun and said sharply: "Send out all the Jinyi guards, I want to know all the water conditions in Hebei." ”

"Yes." Ma Shun immediately received the order.

In the wind and rain, a large number of horsemen rode from Beijing to various parts of Hebei to inspect the water situation.

In fact, Zhu Qizhen's worries, Yu Qian had already prepared.

After all, Zhu Qizhen's mind has to be distracted from other aspects, but for Yu Qian, he is dedicated to water control, and he is always concerned about the changes in the weather in the season.

This storm was an unexpected surprise for Zhu Qizhen, but for Qian, it was an inevitability in his calculations. From the season, the monsoon, the climate, and even the humidity at that time, many people expected this, and the wind and rain were coming.

So this heavy rain from south to north, from east to west, little by little enveloped the whole of Hebei, when the people of Hebei cheered, Yu Qian's mind was already on flood prevention.
