Chapter Ninety-Nine: Let's Look at the Lighter First

Zhu Yousong saw that Zhu Youzhen looked like a living person should not enter, and knew that the brother in front of him was really angry, although he didn't know how serious Zhu Youzhen said about eating empty salaries and drinking soldiers' blood, but as long as he looked at Zhu Youzhen's face, he knew that this matter could not be taken lightly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The slowly moving carriage stopped, and a voice came to mind outside the car: "Your Majesty, the capital camp has arrived." ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded to Zhu Yousong and got out of the car first.

Zhu Yousong didn't understand the meaning of his action, but seeing that Zhu Youzhen's face was not good, he had to nod in response, and waited until Zhu Youzhen got out of the car, and then remembered to sit in the same car with the emperor......

Fortunately, at this time, people's attention was on Zhu Youzhen, and Zhu Yousong quietly slipped out of the car from the other side and did not attract people's attention.

At this time, the voice of the British Duke Zhang Weixian sounded behind the two: "Your Majesty, it is an honor for Weichen to be inspected by you in the Beijing camp." ”

Zhu Yousong turned around and glanced at Zhang Weixian, who was smiling behind him, and suddenly felt some sympathy for this old man in his heart.

Zhang Weixian looked at the two people standing together, and he was also a little surprised in his heart. When he received Zhu Youzhen's order to inspect the Beijing camp today, he didn't think much about it, but when they walked halfway with a team of people, they turned to the Ten Princes' Mansion and took over the Prince of Fu, who was temporarily living in the Ten Princes' Mansion, which made Zhang Weixian a little confused.

It is especially understandable that Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne to inspect the family in Beijing, but why did he bring this prince of Fuwang? Zhang Weixian sat in the carriage and thought all the way, but he didn't come up with a reason.

Zhang Weixian saw Zhu Youzhen, who was talking and laughing with him before getting into the car, but now his face was not good, the smile on his face disappeared and he walked two steps, and said as he walked: "Zhang Weixian, the governor of Beijing, see the emperor." As he spoke, he was going to salute Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen didn't let Zhang Weixian kneel, picked him up, and said, "The British duke doesn't need to be polite. ”

Zhang Weixian stood up, did not kneel down again, sighed and said: "The old minister is old and frail, and he has lived up to the courage of the year, otherwise the old minister, as a military general, should have sat in a saddle and rode a horse to protect the emperor's left and right." ”

Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "The British Duke doesn't have to be like this, you have contributed a lot to the Ming Dynasty, if I need a veteran like you to escort me, this Ming Dynasty's qi will be exhausted." ”

Zhang Weixian's heart sank, and he knelt on the ground: "The emperor is serious!" ”

Zhu Yousong wanted to laugh when he saw it, an old man in his seventies and eighties was about to kneel down to Zhu Youzhen, who was not yet an adult, and he shook his head when he saw this scene. It's just that at this time it is Zhu Youzhen's home field, and he can't say anything about being a vassal prince, Zhu Yousong secretly glanced at Zhu Youzhen, who was well-behaved, and estimated that his task today was to see how he pretended to be forced.

Zhu Youzhen helped Zhang Weixian, who was kneeling, to stand up again, patted his hand and said: "Old Guogong, the contribution made by your Zhang family to the Ming Dynasty is unforgettable, and you don't have to panic today, the main reason for inviting you to come is to learn about the situation of the soldiers in the Beijing camp, so that I can know what to do." ”

Zhang Weixian's face was straight, and he said sonorously: "In this case, the old minister will lead the way for the emperor and ask the emperor to move." ”

Zhu Yousong is the first time to enter the barracks, this Beijing camp is heavily guarded, from a distance to see a row of horse rejection piles, there is a towering arrow tower at the gate of the camp, Zhu Yousong and Zhu Youzhen followed behind Zhang Weixian, step by step towards the solemn atmosphere of the Beijing camp.

Zhu Youzhen came out this time, without the emperor's guard of honor, missing those who played flags, the two young men followed behind Zhang Weixian, although they attracted the attention of some people, but they couldn't guess their true identities.

This time it was a surprise inspection, and even if Zhang Weixian had the heart to reveal some words to the soldiers in the Beijing camp, such a little time would not be enough for them to operate.

The Ming Dynasty originally had an important system - the military system, the soldiers were in the peasants, and the household registration system of the Ming Dynasty absolutely guaranteed that the son could inherit the father's business and have an iron rice bowl. As a soldier, one of your sons must be a soldier, and as a jailer, your son will have to take over your squad nine times out of ten......

Although this idea is good, since the Tumu Fort, it is estimated that all the soldiers who can fight under the Damingtun military system have been exhausted.

At this time, most of the military recruitment system implemented by the Ming Dynasty was actually carried out, and even the Guanning Iron Cavalry, which was famous at the end of the Ming Dynasty, were all professional soldiers who wanted to lead the army, and this Beijing camp was no exception.

At this time, everyone had just crossed the entrenchment, and the guards outside the Beijing camp naturally knew their metropolitan governor Zhang Weixian, and when they saw Zhang Weixian bringing people over, they hugged their fists and saluted them.

This area of the garrison is quite large, as far as the eye can see, and there are many tents in the open space, and the soldiers patrolling the camp one after another patrol the camp, which can be described as impenetrable.

Zhu You looked at the soldiers who were training in the distance and nodded, it is reasonable to say that this camp was renovated by Zhang Weixian.

When he arrived at the barracks, Zhu Youzhen didn't let Zhang Weixian lead the way, walked roughly around the camp and entered a military tent.

Zhang Weixian's face was a little worried, he didn't know what Zhu Youzhen, who had been expressionless all the way, was thinking, and as soon as he entered the military tent, he bowed down and asked: "Your Majesty, what is wrong with the soldiers in the Beijing camp, I hope the emperor will correct me." ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, the old country has a good way of governing the army!" ”

Zhang Weixian saw Zhu Youzhen smile, exhaled a breath, and let go of most of the heart hanging in his heart, at this time Zhu Youzhen asked: "How many soldiers are there in Beijing Battalion?" ”

Zhang Weixian bowed down and said, "Eighty-nine thousand five hundred." ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded and said: "Beat the drums and beat the general, and order the officers above the commander of the Beijing battalion to assemble in this Chinese army, and the time limit is two hours." ”

Zhang Weixian was stunned, he didn't know which one Zhu Youzhen, the emperor, was going to play, but he thought that although the various departments of the Beijing camp were not stationed, the distance between the battalions was not very far, and the time was also abundant, so he was ordered to go out of the account to gather the soldiers.

At this time, in addition to a group of guards in the big tent, there were only Zhu Yousong and Zhu Youzhen, Zhu Yousong glanced at the immobile guards behind him, as if he was the Han general guarding the door in the palace.

Zhu Youzhen turned around at this time and said, "The prince will accompany me out for a walk." ”

Zhu Yousong bowed and said, "Yes." ”

……

Out of the tent, the two of them walked in front, and opened a little distance from the guards behind them, Zhu Yousong asked, "What did I say you came to this Beijing camp for today?" ”

Zhu Youzhen chuckled: "Naturally, it's for killing." ”

Zhu Yousong pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "It's not that I look down on you, why are you so weak when you see the bloody legs, and you still want to kill?" Kill whom? ”

Zhu Youzhen snorted lightly and said, "Who said that if you can't see blood, you can't kill people?" ”

Zhu Yousong was about to refute, but Zhu Youzhen pulled his sleeve and said, "Let's not talk about this for now, we'll talk about the murder later." Let's go, I sent a group of people from the craftsmen in the capital, and I gave them the schematic diagram of the lighter a long time ago, and told them to make a lighter and come out, let's go and see the progress first, this flint is really difficult to use. ”
