"I won't say much nonsense, from now on, I will establish a Ying Long army, what is Ying Long, the overlord, the dragon's flanker, is my own army, and in the future I will fight the world with me, exterminate the thieves, clear the captives, and pacify the world."

Zhu Cihong glanced at all the soldiers below with a solemn expression, and asked loudly: "I want to know, do you want to become my Yinglong pro-army." ”

"Yes!" More than 3,000 soldiers shouted together, who doesn't want to be the emperor's pro-army, especially those who protected Zhu Cihong's original Donggong Imperial Forest Army from the south of Beijing, they were originally Zhu Cihong's personal guards, how could Zhu Cihong establish a pro-army without them.

"Hehe, it's not enough to just think about it, I tell you, my pro-army is not so easy to manage, and it is not qualified to be an invincible army. In the future, you will have to go through countless wars, face countless baptisms of life and death, only those who are not afraid of death can survive, if any of you are afraid of the dead, you can get out now, I will give you the travel expenses, you love to roll where to go, is there such a person! Zhu Cihong sneered, coldly poured a basin of cold water on their heads, and asked loudly.

"Nope! None of us are afraid of death! More than 3,000 soldiers shouted, their faces unconvinced, as if they had been insulted.

"Okay, very good, since you all have this courage, then I will give you a chance to become a member of the Ying Long Army, I have drawn up a training plan for the Ying Long Army, if you can pass, I welcome you to become my Ying Long pro-army."

"Ji Feng, Zhang Kuishan!"

"The last general!"

"Divide all these people into two battalions, and each of you will take a battalion and start training." In order to prevent factions from appearing in the future, Zhu Cihong planned to disrupt and reorganize the Shandong Army and the Donggong Imperial Forest Army.

Soon, more than 3,000 soldiers were all disorganized and reorganized, and Ji Feng and Zhang Kuishan each led a battalion.

On the first day, due to the beginning of the training and the large number of people led by Ji Feng and Zhang Kuishan, it seemed a little nondescript, but after three days, the situation improved, and the effect of the training began to be revealed.

Ji Feng and Zhang Kuishan respectively selected soldiers who had done well to lead the training, except for two groups of 44 people, the rest of the group of 50 people, a total of 62 teams of soldiers in full swing according to Zhu Cihong's plan to carry out training.

At first, many soldiers secretly disdained that the training was too pediatric and too simple, but soon they didn't think so.

"Damn!" Just the first project on the first day of standing in the military posture training, can make all of them secretly bitter in their hearts, after all, the standing military posture requires standing motionless, within half an hour is okay, but if it is half an hour, or even an hour or two, the iron man is uncomfortable, it is simply torture.

Fortunately, all these soldiers are elites who have been on the battlefield, and the Imperial Forest Army of the East Palace even followed Zhu Cihong and Queen Zhou all the way to the south, often running all day long, and fighting with the thief army, and they have already trained their endurance, plus Zhu Cihong is the god in their minds, as Zhu Cihong's personal guard, they must pass the assessment of the Dragon Army.

The Shandong Army used to be lazy under Liu Zeqing, although it had also been baptized by several wars, and they were all selected by Zhang Kuishan from the 30,000 Shandong Army, and they were the elite of the Shandong Army, but there was still a gap compared with the Donggong Imperial Forest Army.

So don't look at the number of the 2,000 Shandong Army is nearly twice as large as the Donggong Imperial Forest Army, but more than half of the captains of the 62nd team who lead the training are from the original Donggong Imperial Forest Army, which makes many of the original Shandong Army unwilling.

At the same time, those former generals, flag generals and other generals, although Zhu Cihong retained their ranks, but it was not them who led the team to train, these people were even more unwilling, but they did not perform as well as others, who is to blame, secretly compared, everyone held their breath, and suddenly made the training twice as effective with half the effort.

Zhu Cihong secretly rejoiced, in order to make the training more effective with half the effort, Zhu Cihong announced that a month later, the 62 teams of soldiers will have a competition, the top three teams will be rewarded, the first place each 15 taels of silver, the second place 10 taels of silver, the third place 5 taels of silver, the lowest third place is equivalent to a month's military salary, all the soldiers immediately worked harder to train.

Zhu Cihong's salary for Ying Longjun was five taels of silver a month, which was almost three times that of other ordinary Ming soldiers, and many people raised the dead with only so much silver, which was extremely considerable, causing all the soldiers to cheer, and only Zhu Cihong's wealthy and wealthy plan to use a huge amount of silver of three million taels to smash out an army of 30,000 people would do so.

Zhu Cihong has always pursued that the soldiers are more expensive than the fine, otherwise if the three million taels of silver are only used to form an ordinary Ming army, he can form more than 100,000 or 200,000, instead of the imagined 30,000.

"Defend the emperor, defend the Ming Dynasty!"

This is Zhu Cihong's slogan specially set for Ying Longjun, it is a slogan and it is also a long-term psychological hint, also known as brainwashing, if the soldiers of Ying Longjun shout like this several times every day, after a long time, they will form a consciousness in their minds, a consciousness of loyalty to Zhu Cihong.

In the early morning of this day, when the officials were almost out of the palace, a Donglin Party official faintly heard the shouts from the east side of the palace, and after listening carefully, he heard the slogans shouted by Ying Longjun.

The Donglin Party official walked up to Gao Hongtu and asked.

"Shousuke-sama, do you hear the voice coming from over there? It seems that there are quite a few people shouting. The Donglin party member pointed to the place where the voice came from the east side of the palace and asked with a puzzled expression.

Gao Hongtu smiled and said: "Oh, that's the emperor training guards in the palace schoolyard, they are all some East Palace guards who followed the emperor from the south of Beijing, the emperor is still a little nonsense, don't care about these." ”

Gao Hongtu, as the head of the Donglin Party, naturally has the ability to arrange a few eyeliners in the palace, and he knows about Zhu Cihong's training of Ying Longjun, but because there are not many people, and they all follow Zhu Cihong all the way south, it is not his turn to care, so he doesn't care very much.

The Donglin Party official listened, paused and then shook his head with a sigh: "I see, sure enough, the emperor is only fifteen years old and has carried the entire Ming Dynasty, which is the same age as Emperor Zhengde and Emperor Tianqi back then, I just hope that the emperor will not be like those two." ”

Gao Hongtu's heart moved slightly, and he smiled indifferently for a moment: "Don't worry, the emperor reviews the chapter every day, and there is no sign of indulging in wine, although sometimes it is nonsense, but it is still within the acceptable range, and it will be good to arrange a big wedding for the emperor after a while, and make the queen." ”

These dialogues sound like the words of loyal ministers who are worried about the country and the people, and are dedicated to the sake of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, the reason why Gao Hongtu and the Donglin Party people are afraid that Zhu Cihong will become like Zhengde and Tianqi is because the two lords believe in eunuchs, and those two days are definitely the dark days of the blood and sacrifice of Donglin Qingliu officials, and the Donglin Party is afraid that there will be another eunuch party to rise and kill them Donglin Party members.

"Yes, Lord Shoufu is really high-minded, so in this way, the matter of choosing a concubine for the emperor should also be put on the agenda as soon as possible," the Donglin Party official nodded, and arched his hand at Gao Hongtu and said: "In the future, Lord Lao Shoufu will lead our Donglin Party to assist the emperor and guide the emperor to walk on the right path." ”

"Yes, yes, it's all the old man's duty." Gao Hongtu looked extremely useful, and smoothed his beard with a smile, as if he was some kind of saint himself, and he wanted to teach Zhu Cihong, a foolish child.
