Chapter 112: Inspecting the Three Major Battalions
After the soldiers stood up, Zhu Youzhen turned around, looked at Luo Yangxing behind him, waved his hand at him, and motioned for him to come over. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After Luo Yangxing got the signal, he hurried to Zhu Youzhen's side.
"You will choose fifty men from this group of soldiers at random, and let them go to the stands."
"Yes." Luo Yangxing immediately understood, there were tens of thousands of soldiers in this training ground, and Zhu Youzhen wanted to talk to him, but it was too difficult, and he could only talk to him if he selected people from among them and asked them to come forward.
Luo Yangxing got out of the stands, and there were a few thousand households in the Jinyi guards who followed, including Li Shichao, Li Shichao signaled several thousands of households around him to keep up with Luo Yangxing's pace.
Therefore, the five thousand households followed Luo Yangxing to the military formation, Luo Yangxing looked at the soldiers very carefully, and carefully selected, selected fifty soldiers, in fact, the basis for Luo Yangxing's selection of the number is a little ridiculous, that is, those soldiers who are not too ugly.
The soldiers who were selected were all apprehensive, and for some reason they wanted to get out of the ranks, but after a while they all knew that Luo Yangxing let them go to the stands.
The unknown soldiers did not dare to disobey the order, so they could only walk to the stands.
Zhu Youzhen stood on the edge of the stands, and the soldiers went up and down, under the prompting of Luo Yangxing, knelt down and shouted long live, but the voice was a little uneven.
Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said, "Flat." ”
This time it was not far away, so the kneeling soldiers all heard Zhu Youzhen's words and stood up in unison.
Zhu Youzhen got out of the stands, Cao Wenzhao and Hong Chengchou hurriedly followed, one left and one right behind Zhu Youzhen, in fact, this situation was undreamed of by two people, the emperor came to inspect, Hong Chengchou was a little unhappy in his heart, but he could accept it, but at this time Zhu Youzhen wanted to talk to the soldiers, he disagreed in his heart, but the situation became like this, it was no longer something he could control, and the officials who were higher than him and those who were older than him did not speak, if he was preventing, wouldn't he be embarrassed, And Cao Wenzhao is contrary to what Hong Chengchou wants, the emperor came to inspect, he was very happy, he is a military general, and often mixed with soldiers, of course he knows the thoughts of these grassroots soldiers, if the emperor inspects the three battalions, it will invisibly increase the struggle and loyalty of the soldiers of the three battalions, not to mention talking to the soldiers, if this spreads, it will affect the whole country, and all localities will also compete to follow suit, focusing on military construction.
Zhu Youzhen's intention is very simple, he is to declare to the world that he is not an emperor who hides in the deep palace all day long, intrigues, and fights for power and profit.
Zhu Youzhen looked at the soldier with his head down, and said softly, "You all raise your heads." ”
After these soldiers heard Zhu Youzhen's words, you look at me, I look at you, and they didn't dare to raise their heads.
Zhu Youzhen glanced at Cao Wenzhao, and after Cao Wenzhao gave his instructions, he said loudly: "The emperor asked you to raise your heads, and you will raise them." ”
Cao Wenzhao was very prestigious in the three major battalions, and after listening to Cao Wenzhao's words, they all raised their heads.
The emperor didn't listen to his words, but after listening to Cao Wenzhao's words, he raised his head, Cao Wenzhao had already committed a taboo, but Zhu Youzhen was not the kind of person with a small belly, and he was not dissatisfied with this, on the contrary, he was still a little glad in his heart, Cao Wenzhao was from Liaodong, and he was able to integrate into the three major battalions in the fastest time, and he established prestige here, which shows his ability, and the most important thing is that Zhu Youzhen agrees with Cao Wenzhao's loyalty to himself, so he won't think too much, if a general who is released to do this kind of taboo thing, even if Zhu Youzhen is open-minded, will not let this general go, this is the essential difference.
Zhu Youzhen looked at the soldier who raised his head, pointed at a soldier and said, "Are you from the capital?" ”
The soldier who was pointed at didn't seem to expect that the emperor would ask him, and his face turned red.
"Small, small Shandong."
"Shandong people, when did you arrive in Beijing?"
"Two months ago."
Zhu Youzhen knew that most of the soldiers had just enlisted in the army, but even if they were recruits, they could enter the selection list for drills, which showed that they were performing well in peacetime.
He asked the hometowns of the twelve people one by one and the time of enlistment, and found that only one or two of the twelve people he asked were from Jingshi, and he felt that something was wrong, but he didn't think about it.
Then Zhu Youzhen said again: "The cabinet and the Ministry of War have planned to transfer troops from the three major battalions to Liaodong, do you know about this?" ”
The soldiers all nodded, but no one answered.
"Liaodong will fight at any time, are you afraid?"
These soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, no one speaks, no one nods or shakes their heads.
At this time, Hong Chengchou saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly said: "Loyalty to the country is the duty of all the soldiers of the three major battalions, and I dare not say anything. The emperor asked if you were afraid, and he didn't say it quickly. ”
Hong Chengchou has always ruled the army strictly, so these soldiers are a little afraid of Hong Chengchou, at this time hearing Hong Chengchou's words, he hurriedly shook his head, and some people said that they were not afraid.
Zhu Youzhen smiled and said: "I know that you are afraid in your hearts, not to mention you, even if you let me go to Liaodong, I will also have some fear in my heart, who is not afraid of death, but we have no choice, the Jian prisoner who offended my Ming Dynasty is extremely arrogant in Liaodong, I and the Ming Dynasty need you, you go to the front line, if a war breaks out and unfortunately dies, I and the court will send your parents to the end, and will support your wives and children." ”
After hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, these soldiers who had never read anything actually burst into tears, is this the kind of feeling that a scholar dies for his confidant?
"I hope that you are all enough to obey the dispatch of the military department, and if anyone refuses to accept the order, I will not spare it." Zhu Youzhen continued, but the smile on Zhu Youzhen's face who said this had disappeared without a trace.
The combination of grace and power is the act of a qualified emperor.
After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he boarded the platform, and the soldiers also retreated.
Looking at the tens of thousands of soldiers in front of him, Zhu Youzhen said arrogantly: "I must recover Liaodong and eradicate Jianyu"
Zhu Youzhen's voice was not small, all the officials in the stands heard it, some were sad and some were happy, the emperor was clearly unwilling to only build the Liaodong defense line, he wanted to recover Liaodong and eradicate the Jianyu, which showed his attitude towards Liaodong, the imperial court will launch several major wars in Liaodong in the next few years, and everything that was done at this time was Zhu Youzhen's layout.
After talking to the soldiers, Zhu Youzhen's trip to the three major battalions also came to an end.
Zhu Youzhen, who returned to the palace, did not rest, and went directly to Kunning Palace to find Zhou Yufeng.
Zhou Yufeng saw the emperor happily recounting what he had seen and heard to him, and he was also very happy in his heart, Zhu Youzhen had not been so happy for a long time.
And Zhu Youzhen's words were also circulating everywhere in the three major battalions, and after ordinary soldiers heard it, they were very excited, and they trained more carefully, and even more, they were still looking forward to the arrival of the day when they went out to Liaodong, of course, Zhu Youzhen never thought of these things.
