"Nine thousand years old, rest assured, if King Xin is defeated, he is still the prince, the only brother of the emperor, will the emperor punish him? Even those who lost the battle were not punished, but would they still punish those who recommended them? ”

"What if King Shin wins?" Wei Zhongxian was worried, if Zhu Youzhen could gain the emperor's trust, then what was he, a eunuch? So he didn't want the clan to be in power.

"If King Shin wins, it will also be the credit of the 9,000-year-old recommendation. Besides, Jiannu's current new force has exceeded 100,000, and the four martial arts battalions are only 40,000, can the 40,000 four martial arts battalions win 100,000 Jiannu? In order to defeat 100,000 Jiannu, the Ming army needed at least 400,000. ”

"Hmm." Wei Zhongxian finally let go of the fear and worry in his heart, if he didn't believe that King Xin would die in the hands of Jiannu, then he would have one less worry. "So what are we going to do now?"

"Nine thousand years old has to do two things. 1. Praise King Xin's military talent in front of the emperor, so that the emperor believes that King Xin can repel Jiannu; Second, he really supported King Xin's military training, so that the emperor believed that the nine thousand years old were preparing for the retreat of Jiannu and even the recovery of Liaodong. ”

"Then how can our family support King Xin?" Wei Zhongxian is good at figuring out the holy will, how to recommend Zhu Youzhen to Zhu Youxiao, he is better than anyone else, but he doesn't know a few big words, but he is an idiot in the military, and he doesn't know what real help Zhu Youzhen needs. Only by giving Zhu Youzhen real help can he inspire his courage and make him voluntarily go to the battlefield of Jiannu to die in the future.

"The empty salary of the Siwu camp is relatively strict, and I heard that King Xin is preparing to bypass the cabinet and appeal to the emperor. Nine thousand years old, it is better to do a personal favor and help King Xin make up for the empty soldiers of the four martial arts battalions. ”

"A soldier who makes up the empty salary?" Wei Zhongxian is gone, the biggest beneficiary of the empty salary of the Jingshi Army is him Wei Zhongxian, now let him make up for the empty soldiers, so what else is he doing as a eunuch with a pen?

"Nine thousand years old, you don't need to care about other battalions, just make up the four martial arts camps. If you want to believe in the king, you can manage your own one-third of an acre of land at most. ”

"Hmm." Wei Zhongxian nodded slightly, in this case, his loss is not big, and in the name of the emperor to rectify the empty salary of the Beijing Division, let those who are greedy for empty money hand over the silver, maybe he will make a lot of money. "Okay, our family will fully support King Xin's military training and overcome Jiannu as soon as possible. The soldiers of the four military battalions were all replenished, military salaries were given priority, and the officers were also deployed by King Xin. ”

In this way, King Xin's confidence swelled, and he must regard himself as the savior of the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu as his goal. Nine thousand years old can also give him a ride. Li Chunye couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, but he couldn't have any expression yet, otherwise, he might fall short.

"How do you give him a ride?" Wei Zhongxian showed his cute big white teeth again, this Li Chunye, who is usually inconspicuous, how can he speak in one set today? With his game of chess, it is difficult for Zhu Youzhen not to die.

"King Xin is looking for someone who is proficient in the Jiannu language, and wants to send Jiannu to spy on the military situation, which is obviously preparing for entering Liaodong. I heard that he took a fancy to Zhou Wenqi, the deputy of Jinyiwei, I wonder if the nine thousand years old can help him so that he can achieve his wish as soon as possible? The more Li Chunye thought about it, the funnier it became, and he probably had a smug expression on his face. He was afraid that the excitement in his heart would make Wei Zhongxian find out, so he simply laughed desperately, just like Liu Bei and Cao Cao cleverly used thunder to hide the shock in their hearts when they were cooking wine and talking about heroes.

Wei Zhongxian also laughed, and seemed to be in harmony with Li Chunye, "Okay, let Zhou Wenqi go to Liaodong to see, what's wrong with this old boy Nurhachi, at such a young age, why did you come to Shanhaiguan to enjoy happiness if you don't stay in the palace?" ”

"However, nine thousand years old, Zhou Wenqi is a person from Jinyiwei after all, Lord Tian Ergeng ......"

"Tian Ergeng? Isn't he just the little commander of the brocade guard? He dared. Wait, you take our family's article # and go to get Zhou Wenqi to King Xin. ”

………………

The first batch of soldiers of the Fenwu Battalion finally returned to Beijing, but there were only 2,000 people, Li Xing's infantry and Zhang Heng's cavalry, plus the special combat team that had returned with Zhu Youzhen earlier, and the Fenwu Battalion only returned from Shandong with more than 2,300 people.

For these veterans who returned from the battlefield, Zhu Youzhen divided them into three groups and gave them three days of leave in turn, and after five days, they all had to return to the camp. Three days was too short, but fortunately, all the families of these soldiers were in Beijing, and there was no journey. The soldiers cheered, they already knew that Zhu Youzhen was the king of letters, and now they were their new commanders.

The soldiers rarely have holidays, and now they have returned victoriously from Shandong, with a double harvest of spirit and material, and go home to see the old lady and mother-in-law, and the soldiers have been making a lot of noise all afternoon, and now they realize what Zhu Youzhen said, "The soldiers fight for the people, and the people provide military salaries; Soldiers fight for the country, and the state gives awards and pensions; Soldiers fight for their families and make their families proud." In this chaotic military camp, where is the usual training of the Fenwu Battalion? However, Zhu Youzhen did not have time to combat their excitement. Finally, there is a war, and it is still a complete victory, so let them go crazy!

Zhu Youzhen wanted to thank Li Chunye for the great gift he gave. To be precise, it was a great gift from Wei Zhongxian. The shortage of soldiers in the four military battalions has been filled. In order to confuse Zhu Youzhen and make him have the urge to destroy Jiannu, Wei Zhongxian supplemented the four martial arts battalions with the elite of the Beijing Division. Moreover, the military salary of the four martial arts battalions is generous, and it is given priority, but Zhu Youzhen does not need to invest much silver taels, so his economic pressure is much smaller.

Zhu Youzhen also wanted to thank Li Chunye and Wei Zhongxian for giving him a bigger gift. At the beginning, Li Chunye told Zhu Youzhen that in Liaodong, after the contradiction between Gaodi and Yuan Chonghuan of Ningqian Dao, the military department still couldn't make up its mind. But Zhu Youzhen said, "Ning Yuan will be lost sooner or later", and as a result, Li Chunye died at the meeting of the Ministry of War, and he insisted that the Ministry of War stood on the side of Gao Di. Yuan Chonghuan of Ningqian Dao, Man Gui, the chief soldier of Ningyuan, and Zu Dashou, the general of staff, were dismissed from their posts and sent to Jizhou to standby. Zhu Youzhen took advantage of their frustration and sent the special operations captain Wang Mujiu to Jizhou to personally appease them, and invited the three of them to Beijing.

The original grades of these three people were higher, especially Yuan Chonghuan, who was still a civil official, and the four martial arts battalions could not be placed at all. Zhu Youzhen originally planned to temporarily recruit them as staff members and train the four martial arts battalions for him. But the three of them did not take a fancy to these staff positions who only had responsibilities and no rights. Coupled with the deep-seated contempt of the Liaodong officers for the Beijing Division, although Zhu Youzhen threw out a generous olive branch, none of the three followed.

Now Wei Zhongxian was proud and gave Zhu Youzhen a great gift that he didn't even expect - allowing Zhu Youzhen to choose the officers of the four martial arts battalions by himself. With Wei Zhongxian's "dictation", Zhu Youzhen certainly can't waste it.

The soldiers of the Fenwu Battalion who returned from Shandong were having a pleasant holiday, while Zhu Youzhen was busy with the rectification of the Siwu Battalion.

The four military battalions now have 9,600 soldiers in each battalion, and the total number of officers at all levels has exceeded 10,000. According to the design of the Fenwu battalion, Zhu Youzhen divided the 9,600 soldiers into one cavalry guard and two infantry guards, with 3,200 soldiers in each guard.

The Fenwu battalion already has a cavalry guard and an infantry guard, and the commanders are Liu Yuxuan and Li Hongjun respectively, and now an infantry guard is added, and the commander is Jiang Zhengcai.

The scope of rectification of the Yaowu Battalion, the Lianwu Battalion, and the Xianwu Battalion was relatively large, except for Yang Du, who continued to serve as the commander of the Lianwu Battalion because he was more kind, the commanders of the Yaowu Battalion and the Xianwu Battalion were all removed by Zhu Youzhen, and Zu Dashou served as the commander of the Yaowu Battalion and Yuan Chonghuan served as the commander of the Xianwu Battalion. Each battalion had one cavalry guard and two infantry guards.

Man Gui turned out to be the general soldier of Ningyuan, and he was a descendant of the Mongols, good at cavalry and archery, Zhu Youzhen asked him to hang the rank of commander of the four military battalions, and he was responsible for the training of the four cavalry guards of the four military battalions.

The training of the four martial arts camps includes mental training and physical skill training. There are three contents of the ideological training, mainly borrowed from the old man's military thinking:

1. Soldiers take obedience as their duty. As a soldier, you must obey the management of the officer, strictly implement the military orders of your superiors, even if it is used as a bait, and you must carry it out to the letter. A well-disciplined army is only effective on the battlefield.

Second, the spirit of a soldier is to go to the front line bravely, dare to take the lead, and not be afraid of sacrifice. For the enemy at home and abroad, the soldiers must have the confidence and courage to defeat them, and must not be frightened by the paper tigers of Jiannu and Mongolia.

3. The mission of military personnel is to defend the homeland and the country, defend the territory and open up the territory. Soldiers are paid by the state, and the history of war must fight bloodily for the country. After the war, the state rewarded the families of the deceased soldiers with bereavement benefits, and the wounded soldiers received compensation and livelihood guarantees.

As for the physical skills training of soldiers, Zhu Youzhen sorted out the "Soldier Training Manual" and the "Soldier Training Outline" on the basis of the training position of the Fenwu Battalion, and prepared to train officers in military academies, and now they can directly train in the four military battalions.

Present at the meeting were Zhu Youzhen, commander of the Fourth Armed Battalion, Zhu Youzhen, commander of the Fourth Armed Battalion, Man Gui, commander of the Fourth Armed Battalion, Zu Dashou, commander of the Yaowu Battalion, Yang Du, commander of the Lianwu Battalion, Yuan Chonghuan, commander of the Xianwu Battalion, and Wei commanders of each battalion; Liu Yuxuan and Li Hongjun of the Fenwu Battalion all did not return to Shandong; and only the newly appointed Infantry Guard Commander Jiang Zhengcai attended the meeting.

"Your Highness, the last general has read the "Soldier Training Manual" and the "Soldier Training Syllabus", if the soldiers meet the standards on the syllabus, the combat effectiveness will not be weaker than that of the Liaodong Army. But the last general did not understand, why waste time engaged in platoon training, is it just for the needs of the parade? Yuan Chonghuan frowned slightly, he looked down on the Jingshi Army from the bottom of his bones, these soldiers basically never went to the battlefield, and there was no chance to go to the battlefield, at most, let the military department parade a soldier, scare and scare those people who were afraid of things, if you really want to see the real chapter, you have to put it on the battlefield in Liaodong.
