This is the first time Zheng De has gone out as an emperor, although Zheng De has repeatedly instructed him to go out and drive lightly and be as low-key as possible. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but there are still a hundred guards with knives with them. If it weren't for Zheng De's tough attitude in the end, it is estimated that the soldiers and horses of the five cities would have to move to clear the road.

Sure enough, it's not easy to be an emperor, and it's a hassle to go out.

As for why he went out, it was naturally because of something that Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, said before.

Prior to this, Zheng De met with Liu Daxia, the secretary of the military department, Xiong Xiu, the left attendant, and Xu Jin, the marshal of the Beijing camp, in the imperial study of the Maoqin Palace.

"This time, Xu Jin, the commander of the Beijing battalion, verified the original amount of 154,287 people in the 12th regiment battalion, and 60,574 elite people, divided into three posts, and the name was the commander; 25,346 were selected and 283 were eliminated. Ninety-four thousand three hundred and forty people. Please let Your Majesty know what to do. Liu Daxia told Zheng De the actual situation of the 12th regiment battalion.

Regarding the fact that more than 150,000 people only selected 60,000 elites, Zheng De was only slightly surprised. However, thinking that all the guards in the world have military households fleeing, this is not an unacceptable thing, and I was immediately relieved. After all, isn't it funny that an army where most of the soldiers think about how to escape all day long, and how many elite soldiers you expect him to be able to train?

Zheng De nodded and looked at Xiong Xiu on the side, "How is the matter of the 12th Brigade of the Pro-Army?" ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers have been reorganized. It's just that due to the serious escape of the 26 guards of the pro-army before, resulting in a shortage of elite soldiers, I also ask Your Majesty to set the young army to make up for the exemption: the government army avant-garde fled to the young army, and those who have no disease at the end of the trial will still be relieved of the current service; If you are over 50 and those who have died of illness, they will be strong and strong; If a person has not escaped from service for a long time, the day of death from old illness will be opened and accepted once every three years. The book is an order. ”

Hearing Xiong Xiu's words, Zheng De waved his hand, "Forget it, let them escape, as for the vacant candidates, they will be by-elected from the 12th regiment battalion." ”

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. If this case is opened, will it not encourage the atmosphere of military households fleeing, and I am afraid that there will be no soldiers to recruit at that time. Liu Daxia said with a worried face when he heard this, "There are also twelve regiments and battalions that are also seriously short now, and they urgently need to replenish the army, so how can they select people from among them to supplement the pro-army?" ”

This is also true, Zheng De thought for a while, "Where did the people from the previous twelve regiments and battalions come from?" ”

"Since the Tumubao Incident, the three major battalions of the Beijing Army have been destroyed. He selected the elite from the 72 guards of the Beijing army to form the 12th regiment battalion, and since then it has been the case, and the people of the time called it 'Xuanfeng'. ”

Zheng De looked at Liu Daxia with some strangeness, "Since this is the case, then continue to act according to this, is there something wrong with the seventy-two guards of the Beijing army?" ”

The three of them glanced at each other when they heard this, and a trace of embarrassment appeared, which was really guessed by Zheng De. When the 12th Regiment Battalion was re-verified by the three people, they found that the shortage was serious, so they wanted to select elites from the 72 guards to fill the vacancies.

Seeing the expressions of the three of them, Zheng De didn't know that there was also a serious problem in the seventy-second regimental battalion, so he couldn't help but stroke his forehead and said secretly, "Isn't my cheap dad the master of Zhongxing, who is known as the Ming Dynasty, why do I feel as if I am accepting a mess?" ”

"Tell me what's going on? I forgive you not guilty! ”

The other two all looked at Liu Daxia, who had no scruples after receiving Zheng De's assurance, and said directly, "There should be 380,000 people in the 72 Wei check registers, and the actual survivors are less than 140,000, and in the end, only 20,000 people were selected to supplement the 12th regiment battalion." ”

All right! When Zheng De heard this answer, he was also surprised, more than 20,000 people were selected by the seventy-two guards, so how many people could be elected from the nearly 500 guards in the country? At this moment, Zheng De felt like walking in the dark, he originally thought that he was walking on a flat and safe avenue, but the moment he removed the curtain, he found that he was walking on a single-plank bridge, and he would fall into the abyss without a small amount.

This was also the first time that he felt that his throne was not as stable as he imagined. Thinking of this, Zheng De was no longer timid, and directly said what he said to Sun Jiao before.

Abolish the hereditary military household! Implement compulsory military service!

When the three of them heard the emperor's idea, they had to think that this was indeed one of the best ways to solve the problem of military escape. However, the abolition of the military household involved the ancestral system, and the three of them didn't know how to express their position for a while, so they fell into silence.

Zheng De also understood what they were hesitating about, but according to what Wang Tingxiang said, he couldn't rush to do this, so he would slowly reorganize the pro-army and the Beijing army first. Thinking of this, he said, "Liu Qing, you continue to investigate the situation of the National Health Center for me, and verify how many tens of thousands of soldiers there are." Xiong Qing, reorganize the 12th Brigade of the Pro-Army into four armies, Longxiang, Fengxiang, Huben, and Yingyang, with three brigades in each army, stationed in four directions of the imperial city. As for the candidates, they must be shortages rather than indiscriminate, and they will all be replenished from the 12th regiment and battalion in the future. ”

Then he looked at Xu Jin again, "Xu Qing, the selection and second selection of the 12th regiment and the 20,000 people selected from the 72nd Guard have been reorganized into ten divisions for me, and they have been reorganized according to the establishment of the pro-army, and the number of each division has been pushed from the first division and the second division to the tenth division in turn. There is one division commander and several deputy division commanders, with an establishment of 12,150 men, and three brigades under its jurisdiction, each of which has the same number as that of the pro-army, but from the 13th Brigade to the 42nd Brigade, and if there is a shortage of 12 regiments and battalions, it will be replenished from the border army. ”

Xu Jin nodded, "The minister obeys." ”

Facing Liu Daxia's worried gaze, Zheng De said lightly, "What about the problem of the shortage of troops over there?" When I implemented the compulsory military service system, it was naturally solved. ”

"By the way, I haven't been out of the palace for a long time, so let's go to the Beijing army camp this time." Zheng De was also a little bored in the palace at this time, so he was ready to take advantage of this reason to see how the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty's Beijing army was.

Liu Daxia and others couldn't be dissuaded, and they could only leave the palace by the emperor.

……

It's no wonder that the emperors on TV used to like private interviews in micro-service, Zheng De looked at the people who surrounded him because of himself. He looked at himself with curiosity, as if he was looking at a monster he had never seen before, and he felt extremely depressed.

There are also people who kneel down from time to time, and Zheng De was still in the mood to say "no courtesy" at first, but in the end, he was really dry-mouthed, so he kept silent. He suddenly felt a little regretful, what did he do when he went out with all fanfare? Or you can take a carriage, why ride a horse!

Speaking of horseback riding, Zheng De is also on a whim, after all, what man hasn't thought about the picture of galloping on a horse on the vast prairie? Of course, it would be even more perfect if there was a beloved woman. So Zheng De, who had never ridden a horse, had the courage to ride a horse, and I don't know if it was because Zhu Houzhao used to ride often, but he was very tame, and there was no stumbling, which also made him secretly relieved.

The 12th Regiment Battalion of the Beijing Army was stationed.

When Zheng De ascended the high platform surrounded by everyone, the eyes of the soldiers who couldn't see the end of the audience were concentrated on him. He had never seen such a battle, and he felt a little nervous and didn't know what to say.

However, thinking that as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, if he came here and didn't say anything, wouldn't it make the soldiers feel cold. Thinking of this, he reluctantly settled down, so he coughed, "Hello soldiers of the Ming Dynasty." I am Zhu Houzhao, the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and I have come to visit you on behalf of the royal family and the imperial court. I know that you have just returned from the front, that you have worked hard as a soldier, that your life has been difficult, and that many of you have not even been able to bear to flee. But I don't blame them, if I were in the same situation as them, I would have fled. But what is needed to stay is greater courage, and it is also a real soldier of my Ming Dynasty. I don't like to talk empty words, so whoever is selected for the Beijing army and pro-army will be paid three taels of silver per person to subsidize the military family. ”

If those words were just a slight move to the underground soldiers at the beginning, after all, no one really cared about how they lived as military households. Just treating them as dogs, not only can they not get rid of their children and grandchildren in their lives, but they can only live numbly. This was the first time they had heard that someone had cared so much about them, and he was also the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, which was enough to move them and move most of them to tears. And the last sentence "each person will pay three taels of silver" made many people secretly determined to swear allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor.

One, two, four...... More and more people knelt down and kowtowed to the high platform.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The voices of the three shouts came and went, but gradually converged into a voice, the shouts shook the sky and the momentum was terrifying.

Liu Daxia, Xiong Xiu, Xu Jin, Wang Tingxiang and others behind him didn't expect the emperor's words to cause such a big reaction, they looked at each other with a look of shock, and then they couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh, obviously worried about the emperor's act of giving silver.

Even Zheng De didn't expect his speech to cause such a big reaction, and his mind suddenly went blank after he finished speaking. It took a long time to react, looking at the scene below, and secretly said, "Are you born to be an orator?" ”

Of course, the current situation did not allow him to continue to be lewd, and shouted loudly, "All the soldiers, please get up quickly." ”

After shouting many times, these soldiers stood up one by one. Seeing them cast their eyes on themselves, Zheng De didn't know what to do now. I had to look at Xu Jin, the marshal of the Beijing camp on the side, who also felt the emperor's gaze, and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to know how to." ”

Can? Zheng Deke didn't know how to command, so he had to throw it back to him, "Aiqing presided." ”

Xu Jin nodded, picked up the order flag from the side and waved it. Then dozens of giant drums on both sides were beaten hard by the wrestlers on the side, and the drums shook the sky and soared into the sky. Then the pennant was carried by hundreds of soldiers and staggered in front of the high platform. With Xu Jin's order flag, many soldiers retreated to the sides in an orderly manner, revealing thousands of people in the middle, playing with spears.

Then Zheng De watched several phalanx martial arts exercises, but how did Zheng De feel like the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, it looked quite imposing, how did he feel a little useless!
