After all, Gao Shipra's sale of weapons was just an episode, but he was just looking for an opportunity to talk about it while the emperor was still on horseback, and when the emperor's royal car arrived near the parade platform, the topic would naturally come to an end.

Gao Shishi originally didn't plan to wear a military uniform, after all, he didn't wear the so-called "battle robe" when he fought in Annan, but because Zhu Yijun had to let him accompany him, he had to put on a full armor, so as not to be uncoordinated with Zhu Yijun, the leader.

In front of the parade platform, the military ministers and nobles have already knelt on the ground, under the leadership of the British Duke Zhang Rong, the Duke of Dingguo Xu Wenbi, and the Duke of Chengguo Zhu Yingzhen, to welcome the arrival of the emperor.

Zhu Yijun saw that Zhang Rong was already sick and his face was sallow, and only skin and bones were left, so he stepped forward to personally help him, and said, "The British princess is up, and all Aiqing should be flat." ”

Zhang Rong couldn't stand up at all, and the brothers Zhang Yuangong and Zhang Yuande around him hurriedly helped him up one left and one right.

The emperor couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw it, and said with concern: "British duke, when the matter is over later, you go back to rest early, and you don't want to accompany the follow-up processes, you can't care if you look at it like this." ”

"Your Majesty...... The old minister thanked the emperor for his favor. Zhang Rong was a little emotional, his own body knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to survive this year, but fortunately, the emperor still favored the British government, which also made him somewhat comforted.

Zhu Yijun is actually not a person who is very good at expressing feelings in addition to facing high pragmatism, although his heart is a little blocked, he doesn't know what to say, so he can only nod, and confess to Zhang Yuangong and Zhang Yuande: "Take good care of the old man." Then he turned and went to the stage.

At this time, Gao Pragmatic couldn't grab words, so he had to nod to Zhang Rong and the two brothers, and also followed Zhu Yijun up and stood beside Zhu Yijun.

Wu Dui, the secretary of the military department, was obviously the natural host of this big parade, he first came up to greet the emperor, and then asked the emperor if he would start now.

Zhu Yijun couldn't wait for a long time, and said with a wave of his hand: "Start immediately." ”

Wu Dui immediately walked to the front of the middle and gave an order to a kind of nobleman in the audience.

The first to be ordered was Zhu Yingzhen, the Duke of Chengguo, although this guy didn't know how to fight at all, but he was the Duke of Chengguo, and he was the current former military governor of the Zuo Duke, and the first batch of people to be read were the troops commanded by him.

Of course, the statement "commanded by him" itself is not accurate, because in fact, the current power and authority of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies have long since declined compared with before the orthodox period, and in fact, Zhu Yingzhen only has the right to command the troops and does not have the right to transfer troops for the guard post under the name of him, the former Governor of the Military Governor's Mansion.

In fact, there are only three things that the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces can do at present: manage the military register, manage the tuntian, and select generals, and even the power to lead the troops in battle as the most important military attache has been basically lost.

But in fact, even these three rights have been encroached upon by the six ministries.

For example, in the management of Tuntian, during the Yongle period of Chengzu, "the governor of the five armies took charge of the world." ”

In September of the fourth year of Jianwen, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies issued an order to each capital division: "Order the Tuntian of the Wei Institute to be the same as the old system, one person in the Wei command, one person in the thousands of households in the office, and one person in the Thousand Households to be specially transferred, and all of them are commanded to supervise them, and at the end of the year, the number of their incomes will be slackened." ”

In September of the ninth year of Yongle, the sergeant of the guard post delayed the planting due to the drill in Beijing, but the governor's office of the five armies "must want to collect" the forced requisition of grain, and the sergeant had to beat the drum to complain.

In March of the third year of Xuande, in the emperor's edict to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, he accused "the Tun Seed Disciples have a false name, and the soldiers are often not given enough food", and then demanded that the Governor of the Five Armies must "manage the Tun Plant".

It can be seen that at this time, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies was still fully responsible for the affairs of Tuntian.

However, with the establishment of the grain storage household department Langzhong, the management system of the governor, the governor, the household department and the military reserve road was gradually formed in Jiubian and other places. Specifically, the reclamation of wasteland and the clearing of tuntian fields were the responsibility of Tobe Langzhong and Bingbeidao.

In the past, the procedure of reporting the situation of military cantonment to the Metropolitan Governor's Office by the Metropolitan Division and the Guard, and then transferring to the Household Department, has been broken, and the military garrison can directly report to the Household Department on the situation of cleaning up the cantonment fields and allocating military cantonments. The Governor's Office of the Five Armies has greatly weakened its authority in managing Tuntian.

The selection of generals was usurped by the military department, and even ...... Even the Hanlin Academy got a piece of the pie. For example, in the current martial arts examination, two historians are selected from the Hanlin Academy and the Zhan Mansion to serve as examiners.

Well, for example, Gao Pragmatic is now enough for this level, although he is a complete civil official, but if the emperor is appointed to preside over the martial arts, it is not surprising at all, although nominally there will definitely be one or several princes of the country who act as martial arts examiners at the same time, but in fact, in the end, it is the two Hanlin masters who have the final say.

There is only one thing, which is still under the direct control of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies so far, and outsiders cannot interfere, and that is to be in charge of military registration.

Only by being in charge of the military can you eat empty salaries. Therefore, this power, the nobles are not willing to give it up even if they are killed, otherwise they will not only lose their authority, but also lose their wealth.

It stands to reason that the number of military members in the former military governor's office in Beijing alone is as high as almost 50,000, but in this big parade, Zhu Yingzhen only selected 2,500 people even for the sake of a high and pragmatic face - this is already quite trying, but it is a group of barely able "soldiers" who can barely look at the generals selected from among the dwarves.

As for what's going on with the rest of the people...... About half of them are working on empty wages, and half are working and farming.

In fact, in the former military governor's mansion, there were only four or five thousand people who could occasionally gather together for training, and the other governor's mansions were roughly the same.

In other words, the dignified Ming Jing Battalion, which is theoretically the most elite troop gathering place, can actually barely be regarded as a combat force, with no more than 30,000 people at most.

Fortunately, in addition to this batch of Beijing camp guards, the defense of the Beijing division can also count on the squad army, but the strength of the squad army is only theoretically stable, and because the squad army is often sent out to work after arriving in the Beijing division, so all localities are not very active in selecting and sending squad troops.

The key is that the expenses of the squad are still responsible for their place of origin, and the Jingshi side will occasionally reward a little at most. If so, for the place of origin, it is natural that it is good to send not a single soldier, so there are often quarrels.

Although the number of troops is a little less, it has to be said that this group of soldiers in the Beijing camp is still better than the border army just by looking at their appearance when they come out.

Gao Pragmatic has seen the border army, whether it is the border army of Xuanfu and Datong, or the guards of Guangxi, in Gao Pragmatic's view, it is basically the same as calling Huazi, with all kinds of weapons, tattered clothes, how unreliable it is.

And this batch of "elite Beijing camps" selected by Zhu Yingzhen, the mandarin duck jackets are all brand new, red and shiny; The weapons are even more powerful, shiny and shiny like freshly baked products—in fact, they are almost the same, and after these weapons were distributed, they were just counted from the warehouse and sent to them for use.

Zhu Yijun couldn't see it, he just felt that this army just looked very good, and the so-called clear banner and strong soldiers were also.

Zhu Yingzhen quietly peeked at the emperor, and when he saw the emperor smiling, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, recalled a few flags he had learned by surprise, and waved the small flag in his hand twice, and the flag next to him immediately changed.

In fact, it doesn't matter if Zhu Yingzhen's actions are wrong, the drummers below have been advised, and they don't have to look at how Grandpa Guo waves the small flag in his hand, just follow the action of the "rehearsal" in advance - anyway, the soldiers below will only change according to the formation of the "rehearsal", if it is really a temporary order, the following will not be able to play at all.

With the change of strength, the formation of the two thousand five hundred people is also changing, a total of three times, Gao Pragmatic roughly understands, probably three things like defense, slow attack and slow retreat, but he doesn't know what the specific formation is called - after all, although he was forced by Zhu Yijun to take the title of a famous general, in fact, he is only a half-ass.

However, this drill is almost perfect in Zhu Yijun's opinion, and Gao Shipra, who can be regarded as a person who has been in contact with the military anyway, found that something was wrong - why are there still people rushing to take pictures? The fast-paced drumbeat of the offensive has not yet ended, and it has not been replaced by a heavy and slow retreat drum, why have the soldiers below begun to retreat in a group?

After being stunned for a while, Gao pragmatic glanced at Wu Dui and Zhu Yingzhen, especially after carefully looking at Zhu Yingzhen's performance, he finally affirmed: He meowed, this is acting!

Zhu Yingzhen's conductor and the drummer's pace were inconsistent, and the drummer would sometimes grab Zhu Yingzhen's beat, and the soldiers below would also be inconsistent with the drummer's pace, and the soldiers would sometimes grab the drummer's beat.

In such a comparison, many of Zhu Yingzhen's conductors are simply two beats slower!

Gao Pragmatic sweated all of a sudden, I'll go to your uncle, Lao Tzu stayed in Yanjing for ten years, and he relied on your group of actors to guard? !

However, Zhu Yijun, who was more layman than him, didn't notice it at all, and only felt that although the soldiers occasionally seemed to be not so neat, the overall drill was still good, and all kinds of formations were flowing smoothly, and there was no delay at all, which showed that the Beijing camp was not completely inadequate, but it was estimated that the number of such elites was relatively limited - the emperor was not unaware of the fact that the Beijing camp was empty.

Zhu Yijun was so satisfied, he turned his head to Gao Pragmatic and smiled: "Pragmatic, I remembered what you said about scolding Zheng Song's thief: the sound of the class moved and the north wind rose, and the sword qi rushed and the south was flat." If you woo, the mountains will collapse, and the wind and clouds will change color. Use this to control the enemy, and the enemy will not be destroyed; In this way, what a merit! ”

The young man was full of spirits, pointed to the actors in the audience and laughed: "I have such an elite, why worry about China's instability and injustice in all directions?" Pragmatic, what do you think of this Beijing camp? ”

Gao Pragmatic forcibly squeezed out a smile and said dryly: "What the Holy Lord said is extremely true, today's performance, uh, this exercise...... It's really exciting! ”
