September 21 of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen.

Long live the mountain, the palace of the Shouhuang Emperor.

The news that the crown prince had been ordained, selected martial arts training, and trained himself as an internal soldier soon spread throughout the palace.

The place where the troops are trained and selected is still at the foot of Banzai Mountain.

The Ming Dynasty is far different from later generations in that the imperial city regulations are very large, Xiyuan Nangong Nanyuan plus the Forbidden City of Sanhai Long Live Mountain, walking and walking for several days, that is, horseback riding, it is impossible to go all over in one day.

Long Live Mountain is also the coal mountain in the mouth of the people, and it is also the later Jingshan.

The terrain is high, there are not many palaces and palaces, and the place is also empty, which is used as a place for military training, which is very suitable.

The emperor himself has five or six thousand people, but not every day there are exercises, but in each palace to select strong eunuchs, each time to practice for a certain amount of time, the emperor either in person, or send a big eunuch to monitor the assessment, qualified, or stay in the inner palace for a long time, or still return to the palace.

There are two or three hundred palace people in Chongzhen's Qianqing Palace, more than one hundred eunuchs, and dozens of people who have been trained in internal training!

The lord of a country, who has no faith in ordinary military generals, and even can't trust normal men, can only be trained as soldiers by these eggless eunuchs who have no eggs, no home, no future, and can only be attached to the royal family, attached to the emperor and the palace, so that the body of yin can do things to yang, how ridiculous is this.

With the castrated body bones of the eunuch, it is not easy to survive and do some rough work, and it is necessary to really train to the level of being able to face the enemy...... What kind of rebellion does that have to be?

Zhu Cihong didn't want to be a eunuch, not only that, but he didn't even want any of the guards and forbidden troops who carried flags and banners to garrison the imperial city.

Relying on Chongzhen's permission, he didn't dare to alarm the deputy generals left and right in the Beijing battalion, but the four generals on the left and right, plus the four guerrilla generals, eleven middle officers, the head officer, the battalion officer, the gun supervisor, the four members of the enlistment, the total of 20 members of the battalion, and all the military attachés below the general were actually dispatched together, with the officers and soldiers of the four battalions of soldiers, the four battalions of chariot soldiers, and the officers and soldiers of the two battalions of the city guard, as long as they could carry guns and move around, every time they entered the camp to pay for their salaries, they had to pull Zhu Cihong to Zhu Cihong and let him take a look!

After two days, the crown prince moved a rosewood chair and sat on the high steps of the Shouhuang Palace, so coldly watched team after team of soldiers under the leadership of the military attaché, constantly beating his eyes.

These Beijing camp soldiers who can pull out have many banners, bright armor, dazzling weapons in their hands, and they are also solemn and majestic when they beat the golden drum, like an army that can go out to fight.

But when I look closer, everything the fuck is up, and it's all exposed!

Under the banner, the clothes and armor are inclusive, but they are all obscene and obscene seeds, either roe deer, or yellow and thin, as if they have absorbed too much hibiscus cream. This thing is now available in the capital, and there are quite a few people who smoke it, and there are quite a few officers and soldiers in the Beijing battalion.

This kind of battalion soldiers, the spears on their shoulders are all scattered, and the formation when they walk by looks quite neat, but when they look closely, the spears and iron spears are scattered and scattered, and the lancets on their waists are not equal to the top and bottom.

I don't know how these soldiers are trained in normal times.

It's the appearance of the past, wearing armor and helmets, looking at it from a distance, it still looks like it, but Zhu Cihong gestured slightly, and the small flag waved and summoned him to see, but they were all obscene, his eyes wandered, and even the crown prince dared to look directly, and he was calm and fluent when answering, and he had a mouthful of Beijing charm, and his mouth was smooth and numb...... Such a general, Zhu Cihong naturally didn't dare to comprehend!

This kind of Beijing battalion soldiers, looking at the five big and three thick, are also majestic, and when they start a battle, they are afraid that they are not the heads of the fleeing capitals, the retreating vanguards, and expect them to fight bloodily and move forward bravely, it is better to expect the fathers-in-law to have a sunflower book is more realistic.

Killing good and risking merit, mutilating the people, thieves are like combs, soldiers are like grates, I'm afraid it's like this!

Picking troops like this, Zhu Cihong was also secretly frightened.

The decline of the Ming Jingying was from the time of Yingzong, from five or six hundred thousand, to more than 200,000, to more than 100,000 people, and then to 50,000 or 60,000 people in Chongzhen's early years, but today, 10,000 people have not made up!

"In recent years, there have been plagues every year, and the army has suffered a lot of people, and now even if they are well, those who have been sick will never dare to bring them into the palace to ask the master to choose, so the number of people is much smaller."

The reason for the small number of soldiers, Li Jiye, the eunuch in charge of the East Palace, knew the reason and whispered in Zhu Cihong's ear.

Zhu Cihong bowed his head slightly and said, "I see!" ”

Zhu Cihong also saw this epidemic in Jingshi in books, so he knew that the end was caused by the poor sanitary conditions in Jingshi at that time, but he didn't know that this plague was so cruel and harmful.

After a few days of picking, five or six thousand people fought in front of them, and together with a dozen or so commanders, a total of more than 350 soldiers were selected, and even 400 people were not put together!

Even so, it is a chicken, a dog, and the movement is too big, even if Chongzhen is tolerant, he can't go on like this, which provokes the official to interfere with his speech, but I'm afraid it is even worse than stabbing a hornet's nest.

At the foot of the steps of the Shouhuang Palace, in the courtyard of Nuoda, there is such a small phalanx of less than 400 people, all of whom are carefully selected people who are in charge of the Rong, tall, short, fat and thin, the only thing that is the same is that they all still have a high-spirited spirit, and in their eyes, there is also a rebellious spirit that ordinary soldiers do not have.

It's really embarrassing to think about it, the 158,000-strong Beijing battalion has chased the north after the dead, cleared the desert, forced the Tartars to flee from the wind, and once went south to Jiaozhi and opened up the territory, and today, there are hundreds of people left in a miserable situation!

Zhu Cihong walked forward slowly, and he had already stood at the front edge of the stone steps, and where he bowed half his head before him were the selected chief officers.

Li Gong, Wang Xiao, Wang Yuan, Ren Shang...... Zhu Cihong silently recited these names in his heart, corresponding to their looks and figures, but the most disappointed thing was that Xuan Feng told the chief Wei Yue of illness and was not selected, which is naturally a great regret.

But now is not the time to show this kind of emotion, these hundreds of people in front of them are future henchmen, relying on escape, how can they wait to ignore them when they meet for the first time.

"Ministers, knock on His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Zhu Cihong stepped forward, staring at everyone, but he was silent, under his gaze, the military attachés were quite pressured, and in desperation, they had to take the lead in kneeling, and then they heard the sound of the leaves in the courtyard, and more than 300 soldiers also knelt down together and kowtowed together.

"All heads up!"

Zhu Cihong's plan has been decided, and he has made great strides down the steps.

Li Jiye and the other eunuchs hurriedly wanted to follow, Zhu Cihong only glanced coldly, those eunuchs already knew what he meant, and they hurriedly stopped, leaving him to step down the steps alone.

"Your name is Li Gong?"

"Your name is Wang Yuan? Such a strong man, this body of flesh, I'm afraid it won't be iron? ”

"Your name is Ren Shang? Look at the way you look, you should change your name to Ren Hu. ”

When the right person signed up, there were always nearly 20 military attachés with a total of more than 100 households, and in this short moment, Zhu Cihong had already remembered everyone's names clearly!

Say hello one by one, and bring each other's names together, as well as physical characteristics, and even the director of martial arts, all of them are casually spoken, and there is no mistake or omission at all.

While the generals were happy, they were also deeply shocked, just a moment of registration, this master actually remembered it so clearly!

From the queue of military attachés wearing scale armor and cherry blossom helmets on their heads, Zhu Cihong saw more than 300 officers and soldiers of the Beijing battalion who had been selected.

When he picks people, he naturally looks at the body shape and posture first, and the more than 300 people in front of him are enough in height and appearance, and more than 300 people are standing in one place, and the breath of a strong man is far from being comparable to hundreds of eunuchs standing together.

The body shape and appearance, and then down is the facial features, the eyes must not dodge or dodge, simple and spirited, and the complexion on the face must also be ruddy and healthy.

These soldiers are all wearing the standard mandarin duck battle jackets of the Ming army, and some are also wearing iron mesh skirts and iron-covered combat boots, with their left hand crossed on their waists, but their right hands are pressed on the handle of the waist knife.

More is just a cotton jacket and cloth shoes, a cowhide belt around the waist, an iron gun with a wax rod and iron in his hand, and a hat on his head, which can be regarded as a battalion soldier.

At first glance, it looks a little messy. And these soldiers of the forbidden army are also mixed with various emotional outlooks, and when they sweep it at a glance, they are all kinds of troops, and it is rare to be consistent.

Some of them can receive their salaries on time after being selected, and support their wives and children, these people have the most direct eyes, and they know the end at a glance, and some have an indifferent look, when they are soldiers and eat food, it doesn't matter where they go, some are cold-eyed, some are complacent, some are full of thoughts, and some are arrogant.

The camp system in Beijing has been in collapse for a long time, and many soldiers are in the military register, but they are doing a different kind of livelihood, and most of the people who stay in the camp are just mixed up, and it is really not easy to get together the more than 300 people in front of them!
