Chapter 69: The Brave Guard Battalion

The first wind and rain drifted away

Emperor Chongzhen wrote down a series of names such as Liu Rushi, Gu Hengbo, Dong Xiaowan, Bian Yujing, Li Xiangjun, etc., and then handed them to the eunuch Xiao Dezi.

He was instructed to take the lead in the Nanjing Teaching Division, responsible for finding 100 famous prostitutes mainly Qin Huai Bayan, let them leave their naturalization, and then send them to the capital.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about it clearly, these famous prostitutes are proficient in poetry and song and other artistic performances, if you don't care about their identity, they can be regarded as the elite of today's women.

Compared with other small jasper families, the ladies should not show their heads, and they actually have a lot to do.

Not to mention anything else, Emperor Chongzhen is ready to try to form a women's art troupe, let them perform talents for the soldiers, and boost morale.

After all, the current life in the army is really boring, and there is no entertainment at all.

And some of these shrewd women can also be transferred to his upcoming Royal Business Company to help manage the company's business.

To be honest, there are some industries that are more suitable for women.

Of course, in Emperor Chongzhen's heart, their final destination can be favored by the generals in the army, and they have a happy life.

At least, these good cabbages can't be arched by those pigs of the Fushe.

Some people may say that they will take a few to enjoy in the palace, isn't this nonsense!

Inexistent.

Emperor Chongzhen said that I haven't been so boring.

For the time being, no matter what criticism from the officials, criticism from the people, etc., these Chongzhen Emperors said that he could not care.

But what about the harem?

How can you make my Empress Zhou, Tian Guifei, and Yuan Guifei embarrassed?

Will I be short of women, and I will have nothing to do?

There are no three thousand beauties in the harem, but one or two hundred is less, do I have the ability to have this body?

Even a palace maid has to be carefully selected, which of those concubines is not stunning and enchanting?

It's really unnecessary!

My empire is in ruins right now, and there are so many things to solve and many more to get rid of, and I really don't have the energy to pay attention to them.

It was only by chance that I happened to encounter Qian Qianyi today, and I remembered this experience.

Their fate changed with a word, so why not?

After Emperor Chongzhen explained the matter of Qin Huai Bayan, he immediately put on a military uniform, which was actually a military uniform, and rushed to inspect the real Son of Heaven's pro-army-Yongwei Battalion.

This is a very powerful army, and Guanning Iron Cavalry, Tianxiong Army, Qin Soldiers, and White Pole Soldiers, and was personally created and formed by the former Emperor Chongzhen.

Although its final outcome was also annihilation, no one in the Yongwei battalion surrendered from top to bottom.

And since its establishment, it has fought against the Qing Dynasty, made many military exploits, and has a great reputation.

The number of Yongwei battalions is not large, only more than 10,000 people.

However, unlike the combat effectiveness of other units in Beijing, this army is a veritable division of tigers and wolves, and it is the most powerful military force in the late Ming Dynasty.

It is also the only army that remains undefeated in the face of Jiannu and the rebels.

The predecessor of the Yongwei Battalion was the pro-guard army founded by Lao Zhu, which was a forbidden army under the command of the emperor and completely under the command of the emperor in the military system of the Ming Dynasty, known as the Tengxiang Four Guards.

The selection criteria for the troops are the young and strong men of the officers and soldiers of the Tianxia Guard, and the warriors who have survived the battle with the Tartars.

Initially, the number was only a few thousand, but it was gradually expanded to four guards.

Due to the gradual increase in the number of people, after rectification in the Jiajing period, this forbidden army was organized into the warrior battalion and the four guard battalions, and the management agency was the imperial horse supervisor.

But by the time of the Chongzhen period, the combat effectiveness of these two armies was no longer good.

Basically, they were reduced to a guard of honor and lost their former strength.

As a result, the former Emperor Chongzhen reorganized the Four Guards Battalion and the Warrior Battalion into the Yongwei Battalion, which was led by Cao Huachun, the old eunuch of the Qiandi.

Because the clothes of the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion are painted with black tiger heads, and the flag is a black tiger head flag, the Yongwei Battalion is also called the "Black Tiger Head Army".

The station of the Yongwei camp is located in the imperial city outside the palace city, and it can be reached by walking along the palace wall for half an hour from the Donghua Gate.

This is the camp of the Imperial Horse Warden, and there is a large school yard in the barracks.

Outside the gate of the school field, several eunuchs and several generals with helmets and armor stood outside the door, and saw the imperial car of Emperor Chongzhen from a distance, and a group of people hurriedly greeted him.

Emperor Chongzhen's imperial drive had not completely stopped, everyone knelt on the ground, and Cao Huachun reported in a loud voice: "The slave and maid will lead the generals to welcome the holy driver!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen waved away Gao Shiming, who came to help, jumped off the carriage neatly, moved his wrist, looked around, and immediately said to everyone in high spirits:

"Everyone, please be even! Cao Daban, introduce me to my warriors. ”

Everyone kowtowed and got up, Cao Huachun bowed and said with a smile: "Since the emperor appointed the slave and maid to the important task, I dare not slack off for a moment.

However, the slaves and maids wore many hats, and the mundane things were heavy, for fear of delaying the emperor's major affairs, so the eunuchs Liu Yuanbin and Lu Jiude in the special palace were stationed in the camp to supervise the daily life of the officers and soldiers.

These two people lived up to their trust, dreamed of sleeping all night, did their best, and were quite effective.

Lai Zhong Zong thanked the emperor for his great grace, trained day and night, but also trained an elite soldier, and asked the emperor to inspect and inspect. ”

After that, Liu Yuanbin and Lu Jiude stepped forward to kowtow and say goodbye.

This is Cao Huachun promoting them.

The previous Emperor Chongzhen decided to create the Yongwei Battalion and appointed Cao Huachun, whom he trusted, as the Yongwei Battalion, the governor of the Imperial Horse Supervision and Printing Affairs.

Due to Cao Huachun's high position, it is impossible to be in charge of the Yongwei Battalion exclusively.

In order to actually control this army, Cao Huachun chose Lu Jiude and Liu Yuanbin of his own faction as the superintendents, thus establishing the attribute that this army directly belonged to the inner court.

The two supervisors are both talents of the inner court, and the generals who entered the Yongwei battalion are loyal and brave men carefully recruited by Cao Huachun.

For example, Sun Yingyuan, who was born in Beijing, and Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji, who were born in Liaodong for a long time.

After these warriors joined, the combat effectiveness of the Brave Guard Battalion increased rapidly.

The predecessor had high hopes for this army and offered extremely generous treatment to the officers and men.

"Flat! The two of you can be loyal to national affairs, and I am very relieved!

With the inner government rewarding a thousand taels of silver, a betta suit, and moved to the eunuch of the imperial horse supervision.

Wang'er and the others continue to make persistent efforts to train elite soldiers and strong generals for me. ”

treats meritorious people, the current Emperor Chongzhen is not stingy at all, and the exit is a reward.

I came here today, originally to spend money to win over the Yongwei Battalion.

In troubled times, everything is fake, and the most important thing is to buy people's hearts with military power.

"Thank you for the grace of the emperor, the slave will never give up!"

The two of them were overjoyed and kowtowed again and again to thank them.

"My warriors, come forward and let me see your abundance?"

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the generals who were envious of Lu Jiude and Liu Yuanbin, and issued extremely heroic words that made people's hearts warm.

Isn't what a great thing a reward is?

I have these!

As long as you are loyal, as long as you dare to fight, I will not be stingy!

PS: Thank you for the reward of the book friend Blue Ice God and Chuke Qin Feng, I took a small notebook and wrote it down.
