"Virtuous nephew, you said that when you choose those military households with poor physical fitness, when will this form combat effectiveness? I estimate that it will take a long time to get a good body, right? ”

What Emperor Hongzhi wanted was a strong army, and the premise of forming a strong army was that it must be an elite army.

But Li Zhaotong said that he should choose those with poor physical fitness, not good physical fitness, which made it difficult for Emperor Hongzhi to understand, he fell into a disease since he was a child, and it was not until now that he practiced "The Times Are Calling", which was better.

During this period, he has lost count of how much time and financial resources he spent.

Those bitter haha, if you want to raise a good body, how many years does it take, how much money?

Emperor Hongzhi didn't dare to think about it.

"Your Majesty, the little nephew said that his physical fitness is poor, but he just said that he is weak, not that he is unhealthy! To select soldiers, of course, you must choose those who are in good health! We just don't need those who are physically strong, unless, the other party is really honest. ”

The people of the Ming Dynasty are very hard, but they are very tenacious, basically, the poor people who can survive in this era do not have many diseases, because once there is a disease, in this era of lack of medical treatment, they will definitely not survive.

Therefore, Li Zhaotong did not mention that there should be no need to get sick soldiers, because there is really no need to mention this. And not everyone can enjoy the emperor's services.

"As for Your Majesty, what you are worried about taking care of your body, this is very simple, as long as the food is sufficient, and the little nephew says that if you have enough nutrition, these people will be able to become stronger.

In fact, this is a reference example, Your Majesty, have you forgotten the 9,000 men who were stationed on the edge of Kunming Lake before? After the little nephew's global construction workers took them in, they only arranged for them to be fed and trained, and did not arrange for them to work, and in less than a month, they became stronger. ”

The renaming of Wengshan Mountain to Wanshou Mountain, and the renaming of Wengshan Xihu to Kunming Lake have been approved by Emperor Hongzhi and the cabinet has also agreed, so Li Zhaotong does not need to say anything about Wengshan Xihu.

"In this way, there is indeed a certain amount of truth, so how to train soldiers? Who's in charge of drilling? Who will be the general of this army? ”

Emperor Hongzhi groaned.

"Your Majesty, the ancestor of Lao Tzu taught the little nephew a set of training methods, if you don't dislike the little nephew, the little nephew can help Your Majesty You come to train this army for a period of time, and after they form discipline and know how to train, the little nephew will not care.

Everything after that is up to you, Your Majesty, is your private army, and you have the final say.

As for who will become the general of this army, the little nephew's suggestion is to choose from the selected soldiers.

Because if Your Majesty is willing to let your little nephew train this army for a period of time, the little nephew will teach them literacy, as well as some of the art of war taught to the little nephew by Lao Tzu's ancestors, and when the time comes, Your Majesty can assess them, the capable go up, and the weak go down.

Presumably Your Majesty, you also know the benefits of giving the people at the bottom a rising channel, when the Qin State was able to dominate the world and establish the Qin Dynasty, this has a great relationship with the Qin State's military merit and knighthood system.

Because this gave the soldiers at the bottom a hope of rising, which made them willing to fight for the Qin State and be willing to work hard!

Nowadays, there is also a system of military merit knighthood, but it is not as frequent as the wars of the Qin State back then, and it is not easy to make meritorious contributions, but Your Majesty, you still have to give the low-level soldiers an upward channel.

Because of the ascending channel, the soldiers' enthusiasm for training and learning can be greatly stimulated, which is very beneficial to the rapid formation of a strong army! ”

"I agree with this plan!"

The closed door of the hall suddenly opened, and then Emperor Hongzhi and Li Zhaotong saw a short figure rushing in excitedly.

Don't guess, this is Zhu Houzhao.

In the entire palace, only Zhu Houzhao dared to eavesdrop on Emperor Hongzhi's conversation with people.

This head of the iron land prince, there has never been a painful comprehension.

Of course, this also has something to do with Emperor Hongzhi's indulgence of him, many times, in fact, Emperor Hongzhi knew that Zhu Houzhao was eavesdropping outside, but he pretended not to know, and even hinted that Xiao Jing and others should not care about Zhu Houzhao and let him listen.

Because in this world, sooner or later it will be handed over to Zhu Houzhao, so that this unconscious son can learn a little more, and Emperor Hongzhi is still very willing to give him the opportunity to learn.

However, Emperor Hongzhi acquiesced in Zhu Houzhao's eavesdropping, but this did not mean that he could accept Zhu Houzhao's "self-explosion".

Therefore, when Emperor Hongzhi saw Zhu Houzhao rushing in, his face turned dark.

"Oh, what do you think, tell me about it."

Emperor Hongzhi asked Zhu Houzhao in a threatening tone.

Zhu Houzhao scratched his head, and at this time he also knew that he was too excited, and he shouldn't have rushed in to let the Dog Emperor catch the handle.

He stiffened his head, thought for a moment, and said:

Erchen felt that this upward channel, just like Erchen's dream of sealing the wolf, could give motivation to the low-level soldiers, so that they could temper their muscles and bones more actively and learn the art of war more actively, just like Erchen.

Father, let your sons join this army as well! Erchen wants to learn the art of war of the sage Lao Tzu, so that he can be sealed as a wolf in the future. ”

Zhu Houzhao is really the head iron, he is the crown prince, his first task is to be a good prince, but he thinks about playing blindly every day, thinking about sealing the wolf Juxu, and none of the things he does have anything to do with being a good prince.

But even if this is the case, he still has to be clear in front of Emperor Hongzhi, which is very ...... Iron-headed baby!

"Bastard!"

Emperor Hongzhi slapped the table, glared at Zhu Houzhao, and said:

"The books I want you to read, you never listen, you don't let you read, but you are very energetic, do you want to be angry with me?! Kneel down for me and reflect on it! ”

"I don't kneel! Being a man without a dream, what's the difference between that and salted fish?! ”

Zhu Houzhao argued unconvinced.

"You're not kneeling, are you?!"

Emperor Hongzhi was so angry that his snort was heavy,

"Come on, bring me my dragon-beating stick, I want to teach this rebel a good lesson!"

"Don't, I'm kneeling, can't I kneel?!"

As Emperor Hongzhi's health got better and better, he beat Zhu Houzhao with a dragon stick and became heavier and heavier, and Zhu Houzhao didn't want to be carried back to the East Palace to lie down for a few days, so he begged loudly for mercy.

After speaking, he also looked at Li Zhaotong and wanted Li Zhaotong to save him.

Li Zhaotong was also numb in his scalp when he looked at him, and the two real dragons sandwiched him in the middle, he was also uncomfortable!

After thinking about it, Li Zhaotong felt that Zhu Houzhao still had to be saved.

But how to save it?

Li Zhaotong's brain went crazy.

After thinking for a while, Li Zhaotong had an idea and had a plan in his heart:

"Your Majesty is angry, the little nephew thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should actually join this army, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot participate in the training, but must join in as a prison army."

"How?"
