In late December of the seventh year of the Great Tomorrow's Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao summoned Lu Xiangsheng, the left attendant of the military department, Liu Ruyu, the head seal of the imperial horse supervisor, and Tian Ergeng, the left governor of the Chinese military governor's office, to hold a court discussion, and then began the military reorganization of the officers and soldiers of the original Beijing camp and the four guard battalions.

Originally, most of the officers and soldiers of the original Beijing Battalion and the Four Guards Battalion were directly organized into engineering battalions, but Zhu Youxiao later thought that his Praetorian Guard, as the first group army of the Ming Dynasty, should also have an engineering battalion.

Therefore, before officially announcing the reorganization plan, Zhu Youxiao ordered Lu Xiangsheng and other officers and men who had selected officers and men with various skills and specialties such as carpentry, iron-making, stone-fighting, and blasting from among the tens of thousands of officers and men who had been laid off to reorganize into the Praetorian Guard, so as to prepare for the engineering battalion of the Praetorian Guard in the future.

In addition, officers and soldiers who bandaged wounds, could read and write, and spoke nonsense were also reintegrated into the Praetorian Guard, so that they could be directly entered into the baggage battalion in the future, and a medical team, a propaganda team, and other logistical support teams were set up.

In this way, the number of Praetorian Guards was increased from 8,000 to more than 10,000, and the training units in the early stage were expanded from five battalions to 10 battalions.

However, it is now the end of the year, and people always have to celebrate the New Year, so the training of recruits can only be postponed until the year after the year.

The training of 10,000 people was sufficient, and even with the assistance of officials familiar with military affairs, such as Lu Xiangsheng and Liu Ruyu, it would not be possible to complete the training of 10,000 people in a short time.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao had no choice but to train a group of qualified officers and cadets first, so that when the time came for the training, he could directly use these batch of officers and cadets as the backbone to train the Praetorian Guards.

Therefore, he prepared to call the thirty people in the ten battalions who originally had higher official positions to the palace for a short period of intensive training.

At the same time, Lu Xiangsheng was also canceled by him, plus Liu Ruyu, the two were invited into the palace by Zhu Youxiao, and they made a set of drafts of the "Recruit Drill Code" overnight, and prepared to choose a place in the palace to conduct advance training for these officers and students.

Knowing that His Majesty the Emperor was going to summon him and twenty-nine other Praetorian Guard officers of different grades into the palace, Chang Yanling, like the other officers, was a little nervous and excited at first.

They don't know what His Majesty the Emperor is doing for letting them into the palace, and they also know that in the Forbidden City, except for the emperor, there are women and crippled men, and now that ten of them have been summoned to the palace, haven't they been castrated as eunuchs?

After all, since ancient times, emperors have liked to use their own people to run their troops, and the emperor's own people are generally eunuchs.

As soon as he thought of this, Chang Yanling was even more apprehensive in his heart, although he thought about serving the monarch and the horse leather shroud, but he never thought about becoming a eunuch.

But now that the emperor has issued a clear decree to let them enter the palace, he has to obey the will.

When they passed through the vermilion palace wall gates and came to the small courtyard square, which was not relatively spacious, the small yellow gate that led them into the palace stopped and said, "You wait here first." ”

The little yellow door left as he spoke, and at this time, the officers and students of the Praetorian Guard who had been summoned into the palace began to whisper.

Among them, Qin Botong, who was originally in command of the affairs, saw Chang Yanling standing beside him, so he bumped Chang Yanling with his elbow: "Brother, tell me, Your Majesty won't really let us be eunuchs if we let us enter the palace, right?" ”

"This is not for sure, but the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, if Your Majesty really makes us eunuchs, we can't help it, don't forget how the master died", Chang Yanling didn't answer, and another bearded man answered.

At this time, Qin Botong sat directly on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty spare your life, Weichen doesn't want to be Taishi Gong!" ”

"Come on, can you compare with Taishi Gong, but when I think about it, I haven't even tasted the taste of a woman in my life, and I have cut off my children and grandchildren like this, which is really a loss."

As he spoke, he leaned on Chang Yanling's back and pretended to wipe his tears, Chang Yanling directly pushed this person to the ground, and when he saw Ao Bai standing aside and pressing his legs, he came over and asked, "This brother is invited, you are not Han, right?" ”

"That's right, I'm a Manchurian, not a Han like a coward!"

As soon as Ao Bai said this casually, Qin Botong, who had just squatted on the ground and cried, immediately stood up and pointed at Ao Bai angrily: "You guy scolds who is cowardly, you only know how to slaughter and loot barbarian Tartars, don't come to our Han territory if you have the ability!" ”

"Why, I'm not convinced, if you don't bow down with me, don't look at my current hand, and still down with a little white face like you!"

According to Zhu Youxiao's meaning, Ao Bai also entered the Praetorian Guard to bring cavalry for himself, so he also let him be included in these thirty people.

But Ao Bai never took these Ming officers and soldiers who could only hide in the city walls on the battlefield and fled as soon as they went out into battle.

"If you fall, you will fall, who is afraid of whom!"

Qin Botong was originally a general of the Wei Mansion, and he had also been in contact with the Hu people, but he was also good at wrestling, so he was not afraid of worship.

Seeing the two of them staring at each other in circles around the square like two crazy bulls, everyone couldn't help but focus their attention here, as if they were watching a big show.

However, at this time, Liu Ruyu, the palm seal of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, had been brought over by Xiaohuangmen.

But he didn't expect these officers and students to fall in the palace, so he shouted angrily: "What kind of system!" Stop it all for our family! ”

Liu Ruyu ran over in person as he spoke, grabbing Ao Bai and Qin Botong's hands, and the two of them couldn't move.

"Dare to fight in the big house, it's really a king's law, no wonder Your Majesty said that you are all useless, pull it down first, and beat thirty boards!"

According to Zhu Youxiao's order, among the 100 brocade guards who were temporarily under the command of Liu Ruyu, the two walked over directly, escorted Ao Bai and Qin Botong to the open space on the side, and pushed the two to the ground, while the other two brocade guards took the three-inch thick board and began to fight.

However, the two of them were also tough enough, so in order not to let each other look down on them, they didn't scream.

After a round of boarding, Liu Ruyu came over and asked, "Does it hurt?" ”

Ao Bai didn't say anything, and Qin Botong squeezed out a smile cheaply: "Back to my father-in-law, the beating is too light, it's like itching." ”

"Dead duck has a hard mouth!"

Liu Ruyu snorted and said to the thirty people: "You now remember to my father-in-law, this is the palace, not your own family, if you stay in normal times, you stand here for a moment, it is a capital crime, now Your Majesty treats you as a talent, and specially wants to train you in the palace confinement, you should cherish this opportunity, instead of coming here to mess around!" “

Liu Ruyu shouted loudly as he spoke:

"Remember, from today to the next month, your food, drink, and Lazar will be in this courtyard!

No one is allowed to step out of here!

Do not fight, cause trouble, gamble and drink, if there is a disobedient, do not kill! ”

Liu Ruyu clapped his hands as he spoke.

Suddenly, countless brocade-clothed guards appeared on the wall, holding bows and crossbows, and these thirty people couldn't help but tighten their faces one by one, and they didn't dare to say anything.

"Got it?" Liu Ruyu asked.

"Understood."

"Be louder! Didn't eat! ”

"Got it!"

Liu Ruyu couldn't help but smile secretly when he saw that most of these young strong officers in their twenties and thirties were shouting one by one, thinking that it was fortunate that His Majesty expected this, otherwise he would not be able to subdue this gang on the first day.
