There is a team of sentry active in the border pass of the Ming Dynasty, his profession is similar to that of the scouts of later generations, serving in special operations missions, their name is "Night Bu Collect", which refers to those who "can go deep into the camp and spy on the sentry".

They are elite scouts who have received professional training and can go deep into enemy territory or enemy camps to probe the real and the false, specializing in special operations.

On the east side of the camp outside the city, a place facing the water in front of the mountain is the best training ground in the Yongwei camp.

There were only ten tents in the training ground, surrounded by a tall fence, and guarded by a large number of brave battalions outside, forbidding anyone to approach.

At the beginning of the hour (three o'clock in the morning), it was still dark, and suddenly a sharp whistle sounded in the air on the training ground.

Everyone in the tent was awakened from their sleep, followed by the sound of scrambled footsteps and the clashing of armor.

It took about five minutes for the soldiers in the ten tents to assemble in the center of the training ground, and under the light of a large number of torches, the queue was quite neatly integrated. However, some soldiers were still running towards the training ground while wearing their armor, looking embarrassed.

When everyone had gathered and stared at the instructor seriously, they realized that the crown prince had actually appeared here. Everyone immediately became puffed up and refreshed.

Zhu Cihong looked at the soldiers who dragged into the team, and asked with a cold face: "How long has it been training, how can there still be such soldiers in the brigade at night?" ”

Zhu Cihong selected some soldiers with strong equestrian and individual combat ability from the Yongwei Battalion to form the Night Bushou Brigade, and used the best training camp of the Yongwei Battalion to provide their daily training.

Xu Sheng followed Zhu Cihong for more than two years, and was the first to actually train according to the "Special Training Syllabus" he sorted out, so he was appointed by Zhu Cihong as the captain of the Night Harvest Brigade.

Before Fumin returned to the palace, Zhu Cihong made a special trip to conduct a surprise inspection, just to test the training results of the Night Harvest Brigade, however, he was a little disappointed.

Xu Sheng's face was also not good-looking, and he lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, it is despicable and incompetent." ”

Zhu Cihong continued with a cold face: "How many people are left now?" ”

Xu Sheng replied: "Back to Your Highness, after half a month of elimination, there are still two hundred and thirty-five people in the night non-collection brigade. ”

Zhu Cihong bowed slightly, he selected five hundred soldiers from the Yongwei battalion to carry out special training, led by several Donggong guards who had already undergone special training, and they were eliminated every day, and it was normal to eliminate half of them in half a month.

"Eliminate in strict accordance with the regulations, and don't collect the brigade at night, as long as the elite!"

Zhu Cihong's majestic gaze slowly swept over the faces of the people in the field, and said solemnly: "As the most elite soldier of the Ming Dynasty, your task is to go deep into the vicinity of the enemy army to detect the enemy's situation, whether it is day or night, even in your sleep, you must be vigilant and ready to fight at any time!" The emergency gathering at night is to train your rapid reaction ability and vigilance at night, and this palace hopes that you can overcome all difficulties, train hard, and become the most elite warrior of the Ming Dynasty! ”

After the scene of cheering for the team as a leader has been finished, Zhu Cihong decided to say something more realistic, he continued: "Whoever after this one-month training and selection, finally officially becomes a member of the Night Buxing Brigade, the official is promoted to one level, and after five years of joining the team, he will be unconditionally promoted to another level, and his military achievements during the period will be counted separately.

In addition, each person will be given 100 acres of fertile land, exempted from all taxes for life, and all captured enemy materials in the spying on the military will be freely distributed! ”

Such a good treatment made everyone's eyes light up, and they said in their hearts that this crown prince is so generous, it's really interesting! Especially the last one, it's so real!

Many team members have beaten Jiannu in Liaodong, and some people themselves do not collect at night, knowing that Jiannu has the habit of collecting silver, and every time he enters the customs of Tartar, he loots a lot of property, and he will make a small fortune compared to a windfall if he catches one.

More than 200 people who do not accept admission at night are surging in their hearts, and they want to officially become a member of the team and do a great job!

Although the treatment is good, it is also very difficult to not receive the training of the brigade at night.

First of all, I have to get up at five o'clock in the morning every day to carry out an armed off-road with a weight of 40 pounds, which is ten miles away and requires it to be completed within two quarters of an hour.

After finishing the meal, eat the meal within the specified time, and do not make a sound. The reason is: when fighting, eating at the same time as the enemy, and being able to fill the stomach in the shortest possible time is to win time and get more opportunities than the enemy.

After the meal, trim for half an hour, after the trimming, do 100 push-ups within a minute, lift 150 times of 30 pounds of stone locks, and then run a kilometer obstacle course, armed swimming, etc. Armed swimmers only wear leather armor, not plate armor, which is purely death.

At noon, the fire gun is raised, and the brick is hung with a rope at the mouth of the gun, and it is not allowed to move for an hour under the scorching sun.

Then have lunch, and after the meal, continue to carry a weight of fifty pounds and armed off-road ten-mile road.

In the afternoon, target shooting training is half an hour, and then equestrian and reconnaissance training are conducted.

Every seven days, there is an armed cross-country march training with a weight of 50 miles and 60 pounds, during which training such as breaking through, counter-breaking out, reconnoitring the enemy, and climbing cliffs is carried out, which is equivalent to a comprehensive assessment.

In order to become a real night guard, as well as to carry out the most professional training, the final requirements of the Yongwei Battalion Night Harvest Brigade are:

1. Excellent hand-to-hand fighting skills, and must adapt to field battles, street battles, and night battles every night, and master the skills of searching, escaping and surviving in the wild.

2. Skilled in horsemanship, and proficient in the use of all kinds of cold weapons and firearms, including all kinds of firearms, artillery, etc., as long as the equipment in the army must be mastered one by one.

3. Long-distance cross-country marching, identifying maps, reconnoitring and drawing topographic maps, marking enemy positions and routes of action.

Fourth, master the means of concealment, camouflage, infiltration, capture and interrogation of prisoners, and other means of obtaining information, as well as the use of special passwords for communication.

Zhu Cihong knew very well that no matter how well an army was trained, if it did not have an excellent reconnaissance system, it would be like a strong blind man, although he was powerful, he had nowhere to exert his strength.

His purpose was to set up a separate intelligence department in the army, which would complement Li Tingbiao's Jinyiwei intelligence, and have two pieces of intelligence as a reference, so that the accuracy of the information would be greater.

Compared with later generations, the soldiers of this era are more resistant to hardships than later generations, in addition to the nutrition can not keep up, it is really terrible to endure hardships and stand hard work.

Except for the first two days because they were not used to shouting tired, and surprisingly did not hear many complaints later, the players who did not collect at night have slowly adapted to this relatively high-intensity training method.

After leaving the training camp at night, Zhu Cihong ordered the Yongwei battalion to return to the imperial city station first, and he returned to the palace after inspecting the new city.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies had the right to command the troops but not the right to transfer troops, and the Ministry of War had the right to transfer troops but not the right to command the troops.

Although the military department theoretically has the right to transfer the Beijing camp, it still needs to be approved by the emperor, especially for the dispatch of troops inside and outside the capital, and the transfer of the Yongwei camp is naturally approved by the palace.

Time flies, and after a month of training and selection in the Yebu Brigade, one hundred and twenty people finally officially became the Ye Bu Shou of the Yongwei Battalion.

On the day of the formation of the team, Zhu Cihong personally appeared and gave the team the name "Long Xiang does not accept it at night".

Long Xiang is divided into four posts at night, each post has 30 people, and the sentry officer is 1,000 generals. There are three squads under each outpost, each team has ten people, and the captain is the commander, and all the team members are one level higher than the ordinary soldiers.

All the captains and sentinels of Long Xiang who do not accept at night are all excellent ones selected from the selection and assessment, and everything is based on strength.

Just as Zhu Cihong was preparing to summon these captains who did not collect the night one by one, he suddenly received a summons from the palace, and Emperor Chongzhen ordered him to return to the palace immediately and go to the Imperial Palace to discuss matters.

Zhu Cihong's heart jumped, the Imperial Palace was deliberating, this must be something big!
