Chapter Forty-Eight: I Only Need Elite Soldiers

This can be regarded as the third person that Zhu Youxiao has personally killed since he came to the Ming Dynasty. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The first one was Zheng Sanjun, Taichang Siqing, when the matter was urgent, and Zhu Youxiao, who was eager to save himself, didn't think too much, but he was a little embarrassed afterwards.

The second is Azig, Zhu Youxiao still has some instinctive psychological tension after killing this Manchu Belle master.

But at this moment, he did not have any panic when he personally killed Zhu Chunchen, a relative of the emperor.

I don't know when he began, he began to become ruthless and iron-blooded, who had been treating diseases and saving people for a lifetime.

None of the 20,000 officers and soldiers on the school field dared to gasp anymore, and officials such as Lu Xiangsheng and Wang Chengen only stood silently aside.

No one dared to touch the scales of King Zhu Youxiao at this time, although he had not yet reached the age of establishment, but a pair of cold eyes and bitten lips showed his dragon face anger vividly.

"In the future, if someone violates military discipline and leaves his post without permission, it will be the same as this person!"

Zhu Youxiao drank coldly, then inserted the bloody sword into the scabbard, and said: "Where is Lu Xiangsheng, the left squire of the military department and the commander of the Beijing camp!" ”

"Wechen is here!"

Lu Xiangsheng knew that Zhu Youxiao wanted the school to be prestigious, so he also cooperated, and his voice replied loudly and concisely.

"Immediately roll out according to the roster, and anyone who is not present, regardless of the official position, will be directly dismissed and dismissed! As a soldier, if you dare to disobey the holy decree and leave your post without permission because of a heavy snowfall, is you still a soldier? ”

Zhu Youxiao asked loudly.

"Yes!" Although there were more than 20,000 people, fortunately, Lu Xiangsheng had already prepared and invited several staff members to be present to be responsible for the roll call of the guards in Beijing.

In less than half an hour, Lu Xiangsheng's people finished the roll call, and there were more than 23,000 people present in the three major battalions of the Beijing camp, and the actual number of people recorded on the roster was as high as 110,000, and there were at least 60,000 after removing the vacancies, but now less than half of them were present.

However, Zhu Youxiao was not so angry because of this, and even if the officers and soldiers who deserted because of a heavy snowstorm were called back, it would be useless.

It is precisely because of this that he directly dismissed those officers and soldiers who were lax in discipline.

Although the remaining 20,000 people may not be very disciplined, they can at least not disobey the will of the emperor and stand here according to the orders of the officials.

Such officers and men have a certain degree of plasticity.

In this way, it can be regarded as a preliminary selection.

Zhu Youxiao had no intention of leaving all the more than 100,000 officers and soldiers behind.

The Ming army, especially the Beijing camp, has always been lax in training, and most of the battalion officers are sloppy and lazy, and he knows it.

But this army is really a pro-army under the direct control of Zhu Youxiao.

In other words, it really came to the most critical moment, and this army was his magic weapon to save his life.

If his descendant army is very bad, then he can't do anything big as an emperor, and he has been sitting in the Forbidden City for a long time.

Looking at the uneven and crooked appearance of the more than 20,000 officers and soldiers who were selected and promoted, Zhu Youxiao could not compare them with the army of the Republic in his previous life, and even the students during his previous university military training stood neatly compared to these Gyeonggi garrison troops.

In order to make his lineage the most elite army, Zhu Youxiao must implement the policy of elite soldiers, not too many soldiers but fine, he has to do subtraction, instead of sending ministers everywhere to recruit troops like Emperor Chongzhen.

Not only did this cost money, but it also increased the number of self-respecting warlords, who later became the vanguard of the Manchu massacre.

Wu Sangui, Zuo Liangyu and others are stark examples.

"Those under the age of eighteen and over the age of forty-five are listed!"

Zhu Youxiao gave an order, and the officers and soldiers below looked at each other for a while, and then some people consciously stood up, and some people were still stupidly asking what His Majesty was talking about just now.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly ordered the pro-army around him to convey Zhu Youxiao's edict, and pulled out some unresponsive officers and soldiers according to the roster.

It took half an hour to clear out the soldiers who did not meet the age requirements.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smile bitterly, according to this efficiency, it is no wonder that Li Zicheng can easily break through the capital many years later.

Zhu Youxiao had no intention of staying at these officers and men, who were too young or too old, and directly ordered Wang Chengen to take silver from the treasury and distribute severance silver ranging from 100 taels to 10 taels to these officers and soldiers according to their grades and qualifications.

Most of these officers and soldiers are also powerful relatives with some assets in their families, and Zhu Youxiao does not have to worry that they will starve to death and rebel after leaving the barracks, not to mention that with the severance silver, unless they are too lazy, they can also find a position to earn a living before the severance silver is used up.

The most damaged were naturally those military attachés who could have eaten empty salaries and made a fortune, but they couldn't do anything to Zhu Youxiao except complaining.

If they want to rebel and deny that Zhu Youxiao is the king of a country, they are denying that they themselves are the privileged class of the Ming Dynasty.

In desperation, thousands of officers and soldiers who were messing around in Beijing were kicked out by Zhu Youxiao.

Although there are still many officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp of nearly 15,000 people who are hangers and do not have the slightest military demeanor, fortunately, they are still young, and Zhu Youxiao has a way to torture them.

Of course, if Zhu Youxiao asks at this moment, who is willing to leave the Beijing camp automatically without being tortured by him, I am afraid that a large part of the Xun Qi's children will leave voluntarily, without Zhu Youxiao's persuasion.

The reason is very simple, they will still be young masters and sons after they go back, and there is no need to suffer and be tired here.

But Zhu Youxiao is the emperor, even the children of the gentlemen dare not disobey the king, as long as Zhu Youxiao does not speak, these people don't want to take the initiative to leave.

Zhu Youxiao didn't intend to let them leave on their own initiative, although after the civil service, these relatives have been suppressed by civilian officials, but there is no doubt that these people are the same interest group as their own Zhu dynasty, and only they will become their descendants.

Nowadays, the civilian forces still have political, cultural and even economic advantages, and they can only develop the noble group represented by the warriors to regain control of the military advantage.

Only by checking and balancing will their throne be stable, and the Ming dynasty will be stable for a long time.

Of course, in order not to attract the attention of the civilian clique, Zhu Youxiao could only let Lu Xiangsheng, who had already performed well in military affairs, be the commander of the Beijing camp.

"Do you think I will leave you all in Jingying, then you are all wrong, now that the treasury of the Ming Dynasty is empty, the people are displaced, and I don't have so much money to support you waste! I only plan to keep less than 5,000 men, and if you are really too hungry, I may only have 3,000 men in the barracks! ”

Zhu Youxiao opened three fingers as he spoke, and pointed to a mountain in front of him, and said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Do you see the mountain in front of you, take them to the top of the mountain for me, and all your family members will also enter it, I don't want any minister with troops to privately raise his own soldiers, understand?" ”
