Early in the morning of August 14, the fifth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, before the sun rose, the Beijing camp school field located in the western suburbs of Beijing was already crowded, the flags were fluttering, and countless soldiers wearing armor and clothing quickly lined up according to the meaning of the above, preparing for the upcoming drill.

Although today's Ming army is not as good as it was back then, and the morale of the army has fallen greatly because of the local deduction of military salaries, and there have been many bad situations where soldiers have fled and eaten empty salaries, but at least under the eyes of the emperor, in the Beijing City Security Guarantee Beijing Camp, this situation still does not exist. The soldiers here are far better than other places in terms of food and clothing, as well as weapons and armor, so their mental state is also the best.

With the continuous shouting of the general general, the thousand general and the higher-level generals, tens of thousands of soldiers in the Beijing camp quickly lined up a neat phalanx, and the eyes and faces of the sergeants showed expectation and eagerness from time to time, hoping to get the affirmation of their superiors in this military exercise, so as to stand out in the team, no longer just an unknown big soldier.

Although the treatment of the soldiers in the Beijing camp is far better than that of the local guard troops, the soldiers at the bottom can still barely maintain food and clothing. And because they are only Gong Wei Jingshi, they rarely have the opportunity to be put on the battlefield to fight and make meritorious contributions to the enemy, and the chance of promotion is naturally even slimmer, only when they encounter a military exercise like today, they have the opportunity to perform, so that the generals above pay attention to and promote themselves.

But what these low-level soldiers didn't know was that not only did they feel excited today, but their own bosses were also quite excited, even a little nervous. Those grassroots officers who are in the team just know that their direct boss in the Beijing camp, Zhenyuan Marquis Gu Huan, will come to inspect the combat strength of the three armies today, and those generals above the thousand generals have faintly known an even more shocking news, it is said that those who came to see the military exercise today are also the current Emperor Wanli.

Although many people do not believe this rumor, and even scoff at it, how can Your Majesty come to our army to watch the military exercises? This must be the lie of some boring people—but deep down they still hope that all this is true, and that it is better that the emperor will notice his excellence, and that the future will be truly bright and smooth.

It is precisely because everyone has this idea in mind that today's military exercise will be more grand than ever before, and everyone's spirit will be more concentrated. If the three armies of Beijing in this state are dragged to the battlefield, it may be enough to engage the fierce Mongolian army head-on.

Among these Beijing troops, there was a team of about 500 people, but it was different from their attire. The ordinary soldiers of the Beijing camp only wore clothes and armor made of coarse cloth, and they looked a little dull, but this team was all wearing crimson battle jackets, and all of them were more excited than the other soldiers of the Beijing camp, and their eyes were swept on the bodies and faces of the soldiers of the Beijing camp who were shuttling around from time to time, as if there was a sense of excitement about to move.

This somewhat different team is naturally the Jinyi Guard carefully built by Yang Zhen. After avenging Tang Feng's grievances, Yang Zhen put his mind back on training them, making this team that was already reborn and changing make new progress.

After leading them into the East Factory before, which greatly boosted the momentum of Jinyiwei, Yang Zhen's status in the minds of these people has far surpassed that of any Jinyiwei boss. Then, when they learned that Yang Zhen had not been attacked by Dongchang after the trouble, but had taken advantage of it, these Jinyi guards who had long been fed up with Dongchang's oppression even worshiped Yang Zhen as a god. Now no matter what Yang Zhen asks them to do, they will do it, and they really do it with one heart and one mind, like an arm and a finger.

And Yang Zhen did not waste the great opportunity created, taking advantage of these few days to strengthen the control of the team, so that once they fought, they would only follow their orders and act without any other thoughts. Only in this way can he take them to surprise everyone in this military exercise.

At this moment, these 500 people have also received a definite news, today's military exercise, the current emperor will also come to watch, this is the moment for them to show their strength and let the people of the world re-understand Jinyiwei. That's why everyone's spirit is extraordinarily excited, and they just want to show themselves the results of their hard work during this period of time.

Seeing his brothers like this, Yang Zhen was naturally quite happy in his heart, and he believed that as long as everyone could follow their own wishes, the most eye-catching thing in today's military exercise would definitely be his own Jinyi guard team.

When the sun finally jumped up, shining ten thousand golden lights towards the four directions, the Jingying army had also been completely assembled, facing several generals standing tall on the platform with the fullest attitude, as well as Gu Huan, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, who was dressed in a python robe and had a smug face.

Looking at these energetic soldiers below, Gu Huan only felt complacent for a while, don't look at himself not showing his face much in the capital, but he has always thought in his heart that he is one of the most important people in Beijing, at least the Beijing army in his hands proves his judgment.

And today, these soldiers faced themselves with such full emotions, as well as the emperor who might come later, Gu Huan felt a strange excitement surging in his heart.

"Soldiers, Beijing is the capital of our Ming Dynasty, and our Beijing camp is the last line of defense guarding the Beijing Division, and it is the most elite team in the national army. Today, Ben Hou wants you to show your strongest side, the heart of Your Majesty, the wish of the people, the external deterrence of the Tartars outside the customs, and the internal police with ulterior motives everywhere! Do you have that faith? After majestically sweeping over the troops under the stage, the Marquis of Zhenyuan asked loudly in a neutral voice.

Although his voice was not small, it still couldn't be heard far in this empty school field. Immediately, more than a dozen high-voiced soldiers who summoned the message spread his words loudly.

Hearing that the Marquis of Zhenyuan said that the role of his own family was so great, all the soldiers were greatly encouraged, and they spoke in unison, and said loudly in a loud voice: "We will be the generals of the Hou Ye, and I will be the commander of the Ming Dynasty, and I will be the master of the Ming Dynasty for ten thousand years!" ”

"Good!" Gu Huan was naturally very satisfied with such an answer, smiled and nodded, and then turned his face again: "You do have the idea of being the pillar of my Ming Dynasty, but whether you have this ability or not is not just based on your mouth, but depends on your own ability to prove it with practical actions." Today's military performance is an excellent opportunity for you to prove yourself to Your Majesty, to your Marquis, and to the people of the world! ”

"Yes! We will definitely show Your Majesty and the Hou Ye what we are capable of! With the last word of agreement, all the people scattered in the wide school field as they had set before, showing their combat effectiveness in front of everyone one by one.

Marquis Zhenyuan stood on the platform of the generals, taking in the performance of the whole army, watching the changes in the battle formations of the soldiers or advancing or defending, and his face also showed a satisfied look.

In fact, although Gu Huan was on the errand of the chief general of the Beijing camp, his knowledge of military affairs was very limited, so he could only watch the excitement as a layman. However, even the generals beside him who know how to do the door are also quite satisfied with today's military exercise, and the soldiers of the Beijing camp have not been as energetic as they are today for too long and have gone all out to practice.

Under the command of generals at all levels, they either galloped on horseback, or raised spears and stabs, or marched forward in formation, or fired arrows in unison...... Every movement is very neat, making people feel the majesty of the army.

But all this fell in Yang Zhen's eyes, and it was nothing. He's been to Datong before. Although the army there is far inferior to the soldiers of the Beijing camp in terms of military appearance and complexion, the kind of temperament that is not chaotic in the face of the enemy and dignified is far better than that of these troops in front of them, which look quite majestic. Although they are not yet evaluated as embroidered pillows, they always give people the feeling that they lack a certain kind of temperament necessary for the army.

Just as the soldiers of the Beijing camp continued to use their best in the school field, a column of people and horses had escorted a rather luxurious carriage outside the school field. The little emperor Wanli sat in the carriage, his fat face was already flushed with excitement, and his eyes kept flashing, just wanting to see the scene in the school field now.

There is no young man who has never imagined that he can command thousands of troops and horses, although Wanli is today's son and rich all over the world, but it is not exempt from vulgarity. But at least so far, the little emperor really hasn't personally seen the drills of the Ming army. There is no way, as the king of a country, he must stay in the palace according to the wishes of the courtiers, and even going out requires a lot of tricks. Especially when there are people like Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng by his side, it is even more difficult to get out of the palace.

However, recently, as Zhang Juzheng was busy with reforms, Feng Bao was constantly suppressed by Yang Zhen to the point that he could only flatter the emperor, and after doing what he wanted, Wanli finally had a little freedom and was able to sneak out of the palace today to see the drills of the soldiers in the Beijing camp.

Looking at the little emperor's excited appearance, Feng Bao felt very uncomfortable in his heart. This eunuch, who is the least like a eunuch, also thinks the same as the courtiers, thinking that the emperor should not focus on military affairs, otherwise it will only bring disaster to the country.

But now, he can only obey the will of the Son of Heaven, and he came to the school with him without daring to have the slightest advice: "It's that Yang Zhen, I have to encourage Your Majesty to come here to watch some military exercises, this person is really a traitorous villain!" I'd like to see what he can do here! ”
