Chapter 16: The Imperial Horse Warden's Family

Cui Chengxiu's mood at this time was actually far from being as calm as it looked, and he also felt a lot of pressure. Originally, Wei Zhongxian personally wanted to come, but Tian Ergeng and the others were worried that there would be some accidents in a place like the Imperial Horse Prison that was not under the control of the Inner Court Army, and they were brought to justice by the new emperor who was not afraid of tigers in the newborn calf. In this way, he, the head of the eunuch party, was only mentioned after Wei Zhongxian carefully thought about it and weighed the pros and cons. Losing a Cui Chengxiu is a big loss for the eunuchs, but the risk may not be impossible, and for Cui Chengxiu himself, this is a gamble with his life.

"In this case, then Weichen will return the words of the saint to the factory minister. . . ." At this time, Cui Chengxiu saw that the previous intimidation had no effect, and he was also worried, and began to say in a tone that was quite in line with his identity. Then he could only take the beauties and maids who were sent over and left the school yard of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

Xiao Xuan is not a person who is good at observing words and feelings, but under the direct prompting of Pang Tianshou, the eunuch of the nearby Imperial Horse Eunuch, with a blatant laughter, he is also very relieved.

Next, Pang Gonggong speculated that what kind of moth would Wei Wei come to do? Oh, the means... Xiao Xuan also asked without hesitation after Cui Chengxiu and the others left. Since the Imperial Horse Supervisor sent those ordnance whose quality far exceeded the impression of the Ming Dynasty's armaments, and his full support throughout the training process of the team, Xiao Xuan has clearly confirmed that the Imperial Horse Supervisor is on his side to prepare for big things. Of course, the height is unbearable, and Xiao Xuan asked himself if he couldn't trust Pang Tianshou completely and completely under any circumstances.

"Weichen guesses that there may be an urgent report from Liaodong soon... Pang Tianshou seemed to use a very solemn tone when he said this, as if he was planning to test the young new emperor.

But this time Pang Tianshou miscalculated. In terms of the war in Liaodong, Xiao Xuan, who is a lover of alternate historical novels and a street writer, is not ignorant, and it can even be said that he is inferior to people such as Yuan Chonghuan and Mao Wenlong who often deal with Houjin in this era. Compared with the people in the palace who read second, third, and fourth hand news, it is not inferior.

"In recent years, Jiannu has been using troops for many years, conquering Mongolia, conquering the dynasty, several battles for Da Leng River Fort and the battle of Ningjin, Jiannu has just entered the palace Jinzhou this summer and miscalculated, even if he continues to use troops in the autumn and winter of this year, it is impossible to make a big deal, let alone fight at the foot of the Beijing Division. I pondered that Jiannu should accumulate strength and improve some of his shortcomings in other aspects. Only when the new slave leader has stabilized his position and has some understanding of the new emperor by sitting on the dark line will he have a big fight, and there is a possibility next year, but the possibility of the year after next is the greatest. I pondered that if Jiannu was ready to fight a big one in the next year, whether it was Mao Wenlong, Yuan Chonghuan or anyone else, they should not be able to stop it. I've read a lot of Tang newspapers, but I've never believed in those things. I also don't believe that if Jiannu didn't care about the losses, most of the border generals who had long been clear about the strength of the enemy and us would risk dying in battle to intercept Jiannu outside the pass. From the perspective of fighting against Jiannu, my time is only two years. And from the perspective of fighting against the thieves, a showdown can happen at any time, so I need not only me to train hard, but also to have more people in the entire Imperial Horse Prison, Longxiang Four Guards and Warrior Battalion to be ready to fight at any time. So time is not running out at all, and it can even be said that it is very tight. Do you understand what I said? Xiao Xuan also practiced alone in the big tent for a long time before he gave people the aura of Chen Daoming in "Kangxi Dynasty".

At the same time, when he said these words, Xiao Xuan also completely let go of the knot, and asked himself if he was not necessarily much stronger than Chongzhen in history in terms of courage. But not many outsiders dare to keep people like Wei Zhongxian in the big position as they take for granted. At least according to the standard of a list of forty people proposed by the ministers, not the expanded list of hundreds of people proposed by Chongzhen himself in history.

Hearing these words, Pang Tianshou's attitude towards this seventeen-year-old young emperor couldn't help but be impressed. Although some of these statements exceed their own cognition and imagination, such as the power of Jiannu, they do not exceed the information and logic itself that they understand.

"Your Majesty, rest assured! The Imperial Horse Supervisor Long Xiang Four Guards and the Warrior Battalion must be... ”

Xiao Xuan didn't seem to have any intention of listening to these words, but asked solemnly and sincerely: "You tell me the truth: the entire Imperial Horse Supervisor Longxiang Four Guards and the warriors have tens of thousands of troops, how many real numbers are there?" In the event of an incident, whether you reward you heavily or have the right to punish, how many soldiers can you contact to the maximum? Knowing this, I know when I am sure ... ”

Hearing this, Pang Tianshou was also silent for a long time before he said: "The four guards of Longxiang and the warrior battalion, as well as some other palace guards, are theoretically compiled by 18,000, and there are not many people to eat at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but... If the opponent is not strong, and it is to defend His Majesty, at least more than two or three percent should be able to go into battle, and more is not impossible. However, if the war is carried out outside the camp, I am afraid that there are less than a thousand people who can fight under various rewards and punishments... ”

Xiao Xuan had a bad premonition before, so this statement did not make Xiao Xuan too shocked: the qualified armor and firearms taken out by the Imperial Horse Supervisor were actually enough to fully arm a thousand people instead of five hundred. As for "defending Your Majesty" and "self-defense", there can only be a maximum of two or three adults to fight, so you can imagine what the strength of the entire Imperial Horse Prison is. This kind of power may be able to effectively form a defensive line on the periphery of the palace in front of the ordinary City Fox Society rats, and if the elite bandit sect members like the Tianli Sect do not count the casualties and losses, they may be able to attack the Imperial Horse Prison without anyone to guide the way. I don't know what the strength and combat power of Wei Zhongxian's inner court army is, but I think about it in combination with my limited common sense. It is only theoretically true that two weak brigades are in favor of the defensive side. Because for the ancient technical conditions, the defense line is too large, and the reliable combat power is too weak. And Xiao Xuan is also very clear: even if this kind of team is a battleworthy side, maybe there is no habit of arranging latent posts, mobile posts, or even conscientiously performing vigilance duties.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuan thought that he hadn't arranged for anyone to do any latent sentry mobile sentry in the past ten days, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. At the same time, thinking that many teenagers had sore hands and legs during these ten days of intense and abnormal training, to the point of affecting their combat effectiveness, they couldn't help but feel that they should be relieved.

At this moment, as Xiao Xuan expected, Wei Zhongxian also planned to prepare for a "martial arts showdown" after getting the new emperor to refuse to accept his influence and control.
