From the temporary assembly of the team near the noon gate in the event of an accident to the rapid testing and programming of the new battalion system on September 12, the end of military affairs was not a long time, but only about four or five days. However, the major changes in seizing power and the extraordinarily busy situation in the past few days also seemed to make Xiao Xuan feel that his body and mind had to adjust a little. After all, he is not Carnegie or a person with the qualities of a successful person, but a modern house with real willpower that may not even dare to go to Chongzhen.

As for the time? It seems like there should be some more? In the old days without modern communication and organization, the response of the entire political organization was very slow, or as stated in the novel "Lingao Qiming", even if it was a quick arrest or a fugitive escaped, the concept of time was based on "heaven". For example, if officials outside the capital get the news of the fall of the eunuch party, and then take the opportunity to launch an impeachment, the impeachment will not cause this or that reaction, and even some military attachés and important ministers will go to Beijing in person, which will definitely take some time. It may be as little as 10 days or as much as a month, and it would have taken so long for various forces to communicate and communicate. For example, in history, it took at least one or two months from the time Keyin Yue left the palace to the fall of Wei Zhongxian. Although this time may not be able to guarantee the pulling out of a team of thousands with reliable combat effectiveness, it can still do a lot of things.

Therefore, after the preliminary formation of the team was completed, Xiao Xuan, who returned to the camp tent and hastily filled his stomach, was completely relaxed. In the past half a month's career, although he crossed and started in the gentle township, in fact, except for the first two days, the rest of the time is not to say that he touched a woman's body, and even when he was a student, there were often girls dangling in front of his eyes, and he didn't have the kind of "eye-catching" that he spent most of his time in the school field of the Imperial Horse Prison. Why did there be a folk song of "going out to be a soldier for three years, and seeing a sow as a sable cicada" in the past, I seem to have experienced it these days.

When he came to the gentle township where the two women were serving together, Xiao Xuan, who didn't have time to talk too much nonsense, couldn't hold it at the first time, and "flew with wings" with the second daughter. As for whether "the spring night is bitter and the day is short, and the king will not come to court early" will bring any evil consequences to the military camp, Xiao Xuan has long been prepared. From the night to the next day, the tasks assigned to each team in advance are still arithmetic and studying, at least don't let yourself let this group of quasi-illiterate people feel like "chickens and ducks talking" when telling some basic common sense. He also told those officers and soldiers that they would have to come to the assessment in person at night, and the worst one-tenth of them might face heavy punishments.

"Now that the big event has been completely decided, why hasn't Your Majesty returned to the palace yet? It's been three or four days, and I think the remnants of the eunuch party have been almost cleaned up under the leadership of Pang Tianshou and others, right? In fact, most of the people in the palace are just some wall grass, and Your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much... It seemed that because he felt that he was a little eccentric, Zhou Yufeng, who had always been introverted and seemed to be a little cold, also asked Xiao Xuan tentatively at this time.

Obviously: in this military camp, it will only be the venue for Tian Xiuying's performance, coupled with the friendship between Tian Xiuying and the new emperor in person, which makes Zhou Yufeng feel that if he is indifferent, it is difficult to say whether the position is stable. Therefore, at dawn the next day, when Xiao Xuan, who was well rested and well, still didn't seem to have any intention of getting up, Zhou Yufeng also took the opportunity to say.

At this time, Xiao Xuan weighed for a moment and didn't intend to hide too much from the people around him, and said bluntly: "Until I have a team that is truly decent and belongs to me, at least before the first lunar month, I will not return to the palace." What are you going back for? Do you give these children to someone else, or do you take them with you to the palace of all kinds of privileges and temptations? I don't want my pro-camp to be like Wei Zhongxian's inner court army. So you don't need to say anything more about it ... ”

Although Tian Xiuying's scheming is not much, she is not stupid, and at this time, she also took the opportunity to figure out Xiao Xuan's intentions and said: "Yes, at the very time when the chaos has just calmed down, for the sake of Your Majesty's safety, it is safer in this school barracks for the time being." It's just that there are only more than 500 children, and the strength is still a little too thin... ”

"Don't worry, concubine, I just held back too long last night, so I need to relieve it. I won't delay too long in expanding the army and setting up camps. Before returning yesterday, I made some arrangements, and ordered people to post notices in many places inside and outside the capital, and all young people between the ages of thirteen and fifteen in the capital should gather in the square outside the Imperial Horse Prison, waiting for the saint to be selected as the palace guard and become the military guards around him, and no one would misunderstand him for being a eunuch... News should come by noon today. When I get up, I will immediately go to the square in front of the Imperial Horse Prison to have a look... ”

In the matter of expanding the camp, Xiao Xuan had already made a lot of preparations in the past few days after quelling Wei Zhongxian's rebellion. It's just that whether to do this in the next few days, Xiao Xuan still hesitated in his heart for a few days. Based on my own perception these days, the most important thing in the army is rank and class, and I am afraid that I will not be able to play the difficult and lofty army building principles of the Soldiers' Committee in this era.

This involves a question: if the time gap between enlistment is not too much, about half a month, then will the original backbone and officers have no sense of authority in front of the soldiers? However, Xiao Xuan finally figured out this question: as long as there is a difference in status, this does not seem to be a problem. A team that can be so young and neat in age like the team he leads should be unique among the various armies of the Ming Dynasty today.

After all: the age of the soldiers cannot be too different, otherwise it is not conducive to unity, but there can be no difference. It is best for young people to manage, try not to have too much social experience, officers and soldiers who are too mature in thinking, and "fresh graduates" who have just come under the wings of their parents are the best; these are actually military principles that have only been summed up in the West in modern times. It is not the widespread military perception of this era.

Considering that even if the Son of Heaven is under the foot of the Son of Heaven, it is a beautiful difference of one step to the sky, and it is impossible for everyone to come voluntarily, and the range of selection is actually estimated to be about 20,000 or 30,000 people, and it should be the limit to select about 2,000 or so recruits. After all, it is said that a place like the capital has not been a good source of soldiers since ancient times, let alone in the city.
