Zhang Yan's maid with the token did not experience any twists and turns, after Wei Zhongxian transferred many reliable backbones in the entire inner court army, the entire inner court army quickly scattered Sha Mingzhe to protect himself, so it was very easy to buy off some of the people in the inner court army who blocked Kunning Palace, and came to the imperial horse prison all the way.

In many films, television and novels, there are plots where they risk death and die to break through the blockade and siege of villains with strong organizational skills and send out key decisive intelligence. Even the villains in many novels are synonymous with strength, unity, and impeccableness. However, in the past few days, Xiao Xuan has come into contact with many people in the Imperial Horse Prison and has figured out a truth after many things: the military, political, and even economic competition throughout the ages, according to people's impression standards, is not so much a fierce battle as a rookie pecking at each other and comparing rotten, at least nine times out of ten. The vast majority of the military is a problematic "Fira", and the vast majority of enterprises and society are problematic "Fira", and the question is: who is not bad.

"Are you sure that no one intercepted you along the way, and they didn't let you come here or do a show on their own initiative?" Although he knew that it was not very useful, and he might not be able to get much information, Xiao Xuan still tentatively asked the maid who came from the Kunning Palace.

"Probably not, many of them are hidden piles that the queen has already bought. If some people are against the water, but not all of them are against the water, Wei Biao is likely to be ready to rebel today or in the next few days. ”

"In the past, you have seen some of the drills and armaments of the Inner Court Army? For example: How many firearms did the Inner Court Army have? Are there armored soldiers? ”

What Xiao Xuan didn't expect was that these words seemed to be a bit too demanding, and the palace maid who came from Kunning Palace looked dazed. It's just that Pang Tianshou knows a lot about this, and said to Xiao Xuan: "When the armor and firearms were the first emperor, the management was relatively strict, except for the imperial horse supervisor, the celebrant supervisor and even the inner court army. Even if there were, it was impossible to have too much. However, simple wooden shields are always easier to make. Swords, bows and arrows are not forbidden weapons among the people. The inner court army has been in the army for many years, although the palace environment is very unfavorable for training, but if the elite is selected, it has to be guarded against...

Hearing this, Xiao Xuan was silent indifferently, after many days of contact, Pang Tianshou and others, who knew a little about the young emperor, also knew that this was the new emperor thinking about things, so they didn't bother much.

Xiao Xuan is not very good at military affairs, but he is not a female frequency enthusiast or an ordinary non-military fan who can't find a way to think. What are the advantages of these new armies? It should be discipline and execution, and of course "sophisticated" firearms and armor. And where are the shortcomings? Don't look at the five days of training and discipline with a high load, and five or six days of gun formation, from Xiao Xuan's own experience of fighting at school and encountering smashing points, Xiao Xuan is very suspicious that if the practitioner selected in large-scale hand-to-hand combat falls into close combat, he will have no certainty of winning at all. Moreover, if the battle is fought at night, the effectiveness of the previous platoon training cannot be guaranteed at all, the organization and command cannot be guaranteed, and the superiority of firearms cannot be guaranteed. If you face the opponent's initiative to attack, the probability of winning is very low.

And if it's fighting during the day? Even if there are more than a thousand people, you can at least bet on the other party's casualty tolerance and armor in front of firearms? For the newly built army, it is clear that if you can fight from afar, you should not fight in close combat. If you can fight in a well-lit daytime, don't fight at night. If you can take the initiative, don't fight passively. Taking the initiative will face the problem of tackling tough problems, but Xiao Xuan has thought a lot about it these days, although he is not completely sure, he can at least give it a try.

Xiao Xuan also thought a lot about some principles of firearms and spears working together. Of course, I knew that there were also many melee hand-to-hand soldiers in the early Spanish phalanx, who were responsible for dealing with the hand-to-hand masters who came in from below with spears. However, swords are different from spears, and the effective use of this thing requires both skill and courage, and Xiao Xuan is completely unsure about these teenagers to let these people fight in close combat, and they must use firearms as melee combat to make up for it.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuan also adjusted some of his previous ideas on the use of firearms. The previous idea was that turtledoves or arquebuses were mainly used for shotguns, because they were not easy to blow up. But now I think that it is a waste to use high-quality firearms to do this, and it is necessary to fire live ammunition from a distance, of course, not too far, it is best to fire at a distance of about thirty or fifty meters. Even if it is shotgun, it should be a large piece of lead for more than two coins. Ordinary fire door guns fire small shotguns that are not easy to blow up and are used for self-defense at close range. At the same time, for the own side whose armor can be relatively complete, the probability of accidental injury will also be greatly reduced. Hundreds of loaded firearms were concentrated in the hands of the officers and non-commissioned officers at the end of the line, three or four each. At the same time, the fire was ignited with a specially made prepared "arquebus collar". In this way, while dealing with melee threats, it can also effectively play a certain role in supervising and deterring.

When he calculated like this, Xiao Xuan was even more determined to take the initiative. This is because as a new army that relies on equipment and firearms, it is obvious that it can give full play to its combat effectiveness only when it has the preparation and the initiative. This is far greater than the benefits of Miyagi's different offense and defense.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuan didn't hesitate: a few more days of preparation was obviously not as effective as the benefits brought by suddenness, as long as he could identify the opportunity for the other party's backbone to gather in or near the palace, he had to take the initiative decisively.

In this way, more than 500 young officers and soldiers were regrouped and waited for Xiao Xuan's lecture. And Xiao Xuan no longer intends to hide his identity as emperor at this time. When many people in the Imperial Horse Prison, including Pang Tianshou, organized and mobilized, shouting "Long live my emperor, long live, long live" in front of Xiao Xuan, and performing a big salute. The five hundred people, including the officers and non-commissioned officers of all ranks, who were selected, were also stunned.

"Is this a rebellion? How can it be so blatant? ”

"We can't do anything to make trouble!"

While people are panicking, there are also many people talking in low voices.

"What? You cubs don't believe that this is the new emperor Chongzhen who has just succeeded to the throne of the Ming Dynasty? Even if there are so many people in the Imperial Horse Prison to endorse it, you don't believe it? You probably have to be suspicious of the jade seal and the holy decree, right? If so, then well, it shouldn't be useful to keep you. ”

Pang Tianshou's words were like thunder, and the people who were still somewhat sober at this time were shocked from their confusion: Indeed, if it is a rebellion, then it is right to create an explanation and banner of rebellion, how can it be a banner of impersonation? And such a high-ranking official who is extraordinarily dressed at a glance to endorse? That's obviously the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty, no doubt...
