Chapter 203: It's all from the palace
The days have to go by day by day, things have to be done one by one, Zhu Houzhao has not been to the early court for some days, and the court has not surprised Zhu Houzhao's expectations, after the father announced that Wang Hua was the sacrificial wine of the martial arts academy, things seem to have disappeared a lot. Daddy and the mud seemed to have worked again, and the civilian officials stopped attacking Qi You.
Although there are still sporadic attacks, they are no longer as busy as before.
Xungui's side is no longer attacking Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and everyone is slowly settling down as if nothing has happened.
On the contrary, it was Zhu Houzhao's side, and the news of the martial arts academy soon spread all over the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, and countless people began to converge towards the capital. These people are all the descendants of nobles from all over the world, or the children and grandchildren of hereditary military generals, and the whole city of Beijing was lively for a while, but Zhu Houzhao didn't care about the affairs of the martial arts academy.
The martial arts courtyard was placed in the West Garden by Zhu Houzhao, where the environment was good, and it was close to the palace, which was convenient for Zhu Houzhao to act.
Although the martial arts academy was put on the agenda, everyone knew that this thing still had to be done slowly, and it was impossible to get rid of it overnight. However, the date of the assessment of the martial arts academy has been announced, and now the registration will begin, and the assessment will officially begin two months later, and after the assessment, he will enlist in the army, and many people think that this is the step of entering the body, and they have begun to prepare for the assessment of the martial arts academy.
It would take two months for the martial academy to really start, but the news of the expansion of the Black Dragon Army had already spread.
The news of the Black Dragon Army's commendation meeting and memorial service has long been spread, and the rewards are generous and the treatment is good, which makes everyone excited, especially the soldiers of Tengxiang Siwei and Jingying, you must know that this time it will be expanded to 30,000 people, which is a great thing! In such a situation, who does not want to join.
Forbidden City, East Palace, Xianyang Palace.
Wang Shouren looked at the establishment of the Black Dragon Army formulated by Zhu Houzhao, the expression on his face was slightly exciting, and he looked at Zhu Houzhao with some hesitation: "Your Highness, this is 30,000 cavalry, if you count non-combat soldiers such as auxiliary soldiers, it will be almost 50,000 people, isn't this a bit expensive?" ”
The imperial court allocated silver to the Black Dragon Army, this Wang Shouren knows, a whole million taels, but really train 30,000 cavalry, this million taels is really a drop in the bucket, not to mention the most expensive war horses, just the armor and horse swords of 30,000 cavalry, this is not a small amount! The one million taels given by the imperial court is far from enough!
"Don't worry about money, this palace will find a way." Zhu Hou looked at Wang Shouren and said with confidence in his heart.
In fact, Zhu Houzhao didn't count on the silver of the imperial court in the first place, and it would be better if he had this million taels, and it would be okay if he didn't have Zhu Houzhao. He also knew that this million taels was given by looking at the face of the prince, after all, this was dominated by the prince, and His Majesty wanted to give money, who would stand up and oppose it like a fool at this time.
Once this is done, it will not only be His Majesty and the emperor who will be offended, but also the future emperor, that is, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
In such a situation, offending two emperors at one time is not the way to die, so this million is very happy, but Zhu Houzhao also knows that this million taels is the limit, if you want more, these ministers will come out to oppose it, you can give face, but you can't let you get an inch.
For the equipment of the 30,000 Black Dragon Army, Zhu Houzhao is ready to use plate armor, which has low cost, high defensive power, and many benefits.
"Come, look at the preparation made by this palace!" Zhu Houzhao smiled and pulled over a wooden board, this is a picture drawn by Zhu Houzhao, it is very large, it is also very simple, and it is an easy-to-understand routine.
At the top are three thousand black dragon guards, Zhu Houzhao pointed to the black dragon guards and said: "These three thousand black guards are the personal guards of the palace, there are only three thousand, but they are the most courageous existence, and they are also to inspire the soldiers of the other black dragon army." The treatment of these three thousand Black Dragon Guards is better than that of the Black Dragon Army, and the last elimination system is implemented. ”
Wang Shouren knew what the elimination system at the end meant, when the Black Dragon Army was still in Xiyuan at the earliest, it was the last elimination system that was implemented.
This Wang Shouren doesn't want to express his opinion, after all, this is the personal guard prepared for himself by His Royal Highness the Prince, you are against it, what do you want to do? Although in Wang Shouren's opinion, these 30,000 black dragon troops are actually the prince's personal guards. Wang Shouren also has to admire His Majesty today, he is really big-minded, and he really trusts His Royal Highness the Prince.
"In addition to the three thousand Black Dragon Guards, this palace is ready to divide the Black Dragon Army into three regiments and battalions!" Zhu Houzhao also didn't plan to discuss the issue of Heilongwei with Wang Shouren, because this matter could only be "listen to me".
The regimental camp is now the establishment of the Beijing camp, and it is directly used for use, which is in line with the habits of soldiers and generals, and there is no need to start from scratch. The founder of the regimental battalion was Yu Qian, and after the Battle of Civil Engineering, the three major battalions of the Beijing Army (the Fifth Army, the Three Thousand Army, and the Shenji) were completely lost. In Jingtai, Yu Qian selected 100,000 elite soldiers from the three battalions, and divided them into ten battalions for centralized training, which was called the regimental battalion.
Each regiment and battalion has 10,000 people, and Zhu Houzhao's Black Dragon Army has 30,000 people, divided into three regiments and battalions, each regiment and battalion has 10,000 people, with one commander and three deputy commanders, for a total of 10,000 households, which is a full staff.
Although the Ming Dynasty is called a thousand households, but many of the thousands of households are not full, in addition to the empty salary and the old, weak, sick and disabled, a thousand households have five hundred soldiers who can fight, it is amazing. Most of them are about three or four hundred, although all of them seem to have a lot of soldiers, when they really fight, most of them can't, most of them are military households in Tuntian, to put it bluntly, they are farming.
The drills and equipment are not up to par, and it is useless to go to the battlefield except to defeat the battle, and even turn around and run away in the face of dozens or hundreds of pirates, because these people are peasants.
Zhu Houzhao's thousand-household office is real, the establishment of the Black Dragon Army of 30,000 people, plus the establishment of the Black Dragon Guard of 3,000 people, counting non-combat soldiers such as auxiliary soldiers, the number of the entire Black Dragon Army directly exceeded 50,000. What is this concept? Once this army is trained, it is really an invincible existence, and it can fight whoever it wants.
Of course, this is Wang Shouren's opinion, in Zhu Houzhao's view, this is far from enough, he needs a huge cavalry of 200,000 people to sweep the entire grassland.
From Liaodong to Central Asia, to the north, it is directly to Fengwolf Juxu Mountain, and even farther Lake Baikal, all the way through. Zhu Houzhao also has to grab rye seeds, during the Xiaoice River period, rye is a very suitable crop, even if it is not in the Xiaoice River period, the fertile land in the northeast! Thinking of the black land there, how could Zhu Houzhao hold back, he just wanted to say: "Forehead, forehead, all forehead!" ”
