The king of the East China Sea and Cui Teng gained a lot, one night and one morning, a total of more than 300 people who hurried from the capital, removed the slaves, a total of 132 people, they were all taken to the camp of the guards, one by one trembling with fright, and even hugged their heads and cried, calling their fathers and mothers.

The worse these people cried, the happier Cui Teng became, but the king of the East China Sea understood that Cui Teng had found a big trouble for the emperor.

Han Ruzi himself also understands that although this matter can be big or small, it is actually a dilemma: the punishment is too light, and it cheapens these pampered and powerful sons, which makes the trend of "substitute soldiers" more popular; The punishment is too heavy, but the implication is too wide, which is a harm to the emperor and the imperial court.

"Give them a chance to tell those who came from the capital that the epidemic of the 'Zidi Army' will be eliminated within two days, which can be regarded as a meritorious service."

Cui Teng was a little disappointed, "It's so cheap for them?" ”

The king of the East China Sea said: "Speaking of which, in fact, they are all their own families, these sons are either children of the clan, or descendants of the family, all of them are related to the royal family, Cui Teng, what do you want Your Majesty to do?" Kill your relatives in righteousness, and be ruthless to your own family? ”

Cui Teng stopped squeaking.

Eliminating the non-existent plague is of course not a punishment, Han Ruzi continued: "I also give the generals of the 'Zidi Army' two days to clear the impostors in the camp, and after two days, I will parade the army again." ”

The emperor's will was conveyed, and the camp of the "children's army" was in chaos, pretending that the plague was the best idea they could come up with.

The first person to intercede for them was Zong Zhengqing Han Ji, he had a grandson in the camp, not an impostor, but more than half of the offenders were children of the clan, and there were some relatives, and Zong Zhengfu was responsible for this.

Han Heel, who was called "the old man" by the emperor, could not even straighten his waist, and usually had to rest three times on foot for a mile, but now he was running all the way, rushing from the city to the hunting ground, and many sedan chair drivers took turns to carry the sedan chair, and the speed was not as fast as the galloping horse, and he arrived at the barracks after nightfall.

Han Ji didn't have time to rest, so he walked into the tent with the support of the servants, and was supported by the eunuch instead, and was just about to kneel down to meet him, when the emperor got up from his seat, took a few steps to meet him, personally held one of the old man's arms, and sent him to sit on the stool.

"This is not the capital, so there is no need to be formal."

Han Zhen really didn't have the strength to pay attention to etiquette, so he had to sit down, took a few breaths, and was about to speak, when the emperor's face suddenly changed, and he said solemnly: "The old man came just in time, I have something unclear, and I want to ask the old man to solve his doubts." ”

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, please speak. Han Yu had no choice but to swallow his words back first.

"Am I a dumb king?"

Han Zhen was startled, and immediately stood up, but was held down by the emperor.

"Your Majesty is a rare Ming monarch throughout the ages, how can you say 'faint monarch'?"

"I am not a faint king, why do the clan treat me as a faint king? Did I do something wrong that made the clan dissatisfied? ”

Han Ji was startled again, but he still couldn't stand up, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty's words are serious, the clan is Your Majesty's few, and the same surname is close to each other, and everyone from top to bottom is grateful for Your Majesty's kindness, and they all think that if it weren't for Your Majesty's efforts to turn the tide, the Great Chu River would be in danger, and the clan would also be overturned." ”

Han Ruzi sighed, "It is not my own power to turn the tide, and there must be many sect disciples sitting in all directions to maintain the stability of Great Chu." ”

Han Zhen nodded, and was about to say his words, when the emperor changed his words and took the lead again.

"After all, I am young, and my father and brother died early, and every time I think about it, I feel sad. The elder is the elder of the clan, and I have always regarded the elder as my father and ancestor, so I strongly invite the elder to come out of the mountain and take charge of the clan again. ”

The emperor's father and ancestor were both emperors, and Han Yu couldn't afford such an identity, so he hurriedly said: "The old minister is stupid and incompetent, and he has failed to educate the children of the clan, so he is ashamed of his trust in His Majesty." ”

"A group of naughty teenagers are messing around, what's wrong with the boss?"

Han was stunned, "teenager messing around" was his rhetoric, but the emperor said it first.

"I have something to ask for, and I hope that the boss will help me."

Han Yu was stunned again, he was entrusted by many families, and he desperately came to ask His Majesty for mercy, but the emperor rushed to ask for help, which made him very embarrassed, he couldn't stand up, he wanted to kneel down, and he was sitting on a stool like pins and needles, "Why did Your Majesty say this?" Monarchs and ministers, Your Majesty has a will, and the ministers should sacrifice their lives to fulfill their duties. ”

Han Ruzi shook his head, "The problem is here, I don't want to issue an edict, so as not to hurt the love of the same family name, what does the old man think?" ”

Han Yu hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty is right, Your Majesty means ......"

"Please go back to the city and say to the clan on behalf of me: Da Chu is in trouble, it is all my responsibility, I should face the difficulties, but it is difficult to support alone, please follow the father and brother of the same sect forward, don't hold back."

Han Ji was very excited, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty's words are serious, the children of the clan can only rush in front of Your Majesty, how dare you drag your feet, the matter in the camp is ......"

"I don't want to talk about it again." Han Ruzi waved his hand, "I myself am still young, and I know what it means to be 'young and frivolous', and I will not investigate it deeply." I just have a pure heart, and I don't know how to show it to the clan, so I ask the elder to help me and explain it to the clan. ”

Han Zhen said: "I must make it clear, if there is a deceitful person in front of His Majesty, you don't need Your Majesty to speak, the old minister will kill him under the rod first!" ”

Han Zhen slammed his hands and gritted his teeth.

"With the boss's assurance, I can rest assured." Han Ruzi let out a sigh of relief, "I have high hopes for this 'subordinate army', if we can get the sincere support of the clan, this army will be invincible." ”

Han Ji was also an old fox, but at this time, he didn't understand the meaning of the emperor's words, and promised with his mouth, "I really support it, how can the clan not support Your Majesty?" ”

"I and the clan are my own family, and I am an extraordinary monarch."

"My own family, of course, my own family."

Han Yu said goodbye, and immediately went to the camp of the "Children's Army", first reprimanded the impostor, and then scolded the person who came up with the idea of pretending to be sick, and finally said: "There is a fire pit in front, Your Majesty asked you to jump, and you must jump down without hesitation, not to mention finding someone to replace you, even if you are embarrassed, don't blame the old man for being ruthless, first push you down, and then push your father and brother down together." Don't expect anyone to help you, it's all honest in the barracks, you know? ”

It turned out to be just a verbal punishment, and everyone was relieved, it was nothing to be scolded by Zong Zhengqing, so they all nodded and agreed.

Han Ji left a few descendants of the princes from all over the country alone, and specially instructed them, so he left the camp and returned to Beijing.

After Han Heel, a number of ministers came, one was to ask for guilt, the other was to plead, Han Ruzi all treated them in the same way, but asked them to help each other, and explained the emperor's intentions to each family.

Two days later, the plague was eliminated, and the emperor came to the camp again to inspect it.

This time, the "children's army" showed its true colors.

The main force in the army is also those "substitute soldiers", they have been in the army since childhood instead of the master, and they are skillful, when the emperor first inspected, they were in the front, behind them were some soldiers who performed better, and those who really couldn't do it, just let them hide in the tent and don't come out, a total of 2,000 people, less than one or two hundred people no one can see.

Now all trickery is useless, but in just two days, no one can build a well-trained army.

The team was crooked, the orders were chaotic, and the generals in the army were becoming more and more weak-minded, but the emperor did not express his dissatisfaction, but nodded and said to the generals: "This is the real situation of Dachu, and those false tricks before will deceive themselves, and if they really come to the enemy, it is tantamount to sending them to death." ”

The hunting drill, which had been postponed for several days, officially began, and the emperor participated in the whole process, but rarely spoke, and it was all up to the generals of the "Zidi Army" to make their own decisions.

Except for the five protectors, most of the generals are the descendants of ordinary families, and there is no problem with arranging troops, but they are too timid and dare not be too strict with the children of the powerful under their command, and they can't relax in front of the emperor, so they are in a dilemma.

The hunting effect was not satisfactory, the armies finally reached the designated position, the missed time was not too long, and the soldiers who fell behind were not too many, not comparable to the elite southern and northern armies, but not much worse than ordinary armies.

The young soldiers who suffered this kind of hardship for the first time were all looking forward to the end of the hunt as soon as possible, and no one expected that the suffering had just begun.

A few days ago, Han Ruzi summoned the officials of the Ministry of War to repeatedly check the roster of the "Disciple Army" to ensure that no one impersonated him, and if he found another penny, the Ministry of War would be responsible.

Many families have "substitute soldiers", some of them did not come this time, Han Ruzi "invited" each family to hand over people, the reason is very simple: "Since it is a 'substitute soldier', then replace it generously, the country is at the time of employing people, why not let them join the army?" It can be regarded as the help of each family to me. ”

There were more than 500 "substitute soldiers", all of whom were incorporated into the Northern Army.

At the end of the hunting drill, which lasted for several days, the emperor reviewed it again, gave him food and wine, and comforted the soldiers.

For the 2,000 soldiers of the "Sons Army", the suffering is finally over, and soon they will find themselves facing real suffering.

Han Ruzi summoned more than a dozen major generals and military officials of the "Zidi Army" and dictated the holy decree in public: "Raising troops lies in training, training in doing things, although marching is easy, one training physical strength, two training cooperation, and three training passwords and banners are the most effective." The 'Disciple Army' is my own army, entrusted by all families, and I am more important, so I am specially ordered to train and march, go to the broken iron city outside the Saiwai, the military department drafts the order, and the generals give the order, and set off after an hour. ”

Everyone was astonished, but the emperor did not want to consult with anyone, he issued a holy decree, and an hour later, from the camp was a weeping army, as if it was about to go to the battlefield from which there was no return.

Han Ruzi did not let any veteran generals and veterans follow, and the marching route, supplies along the way, camp arrangements, communication with the local government, and other matters were all drawn up by the generals of the "Zidi Army" themselves.

The Broken Iron City is an ominous place for the family, there have been many noble sons and daughters who have died there, and now there are a large number of people to rush there, everyone feels bad, but these days they have been told and reprimanded by their father and brother, and they dare not disobey the emperor's will at all, crying while riding horses and galloping, and dare not fall behind.

Han Ruzi didn't return to the city immediately, just waited in the same place.

In the city, he must abide by the rules of the imperial court, and outside the city, Han Ruzi wants to talk about the rules in the army, and he wants to see who else dares to intercede. (To be continued.) )
