"My father was fighting outside, she had been raising her brother in her hometown, and later she took Mama Yuan to join her father, who still loved her, but there were already many young and beautiful concubines around her. ”

Empress Chang suffered at home with her eldest son all the year round, but Taizu's life in the army was ...... At least there are still some beauties around me. At that time, Empress Chang realized that Taizu's identity had changed, and he was no longer the poor boy who couldn't afford to marry his daughter-in-law, and the higher his position in the future, the more women and heirs he would have.

The wife who married when he was poor and has begun to age, and the eldest son who has not been raised by his side for many years and has no common memories, compared to those delicate young beauties and cute young sons who have been raised by his side since childhood, they can get other feelings besides respect and value, which are very rare.

At that time, Taizu's path was already heading towards hegemony in the world, and he was destined to become a chaotic minister and thief if he could not be the co-master of the world. Empress Chang can only sigh, the penitent husband is looking for a marquis, but what can she do, in the choice of one of the two, of course, Empress Chang also hopes that her husband can become the son of heaven. Therefore, since she entered the army, Queen Chang has always been strict with herself and her eldest son as the future mother of the country and the crown prince, and used all the resources available to pave the way for the two of them.

An orphanage in the army is one of them.

Queen Chang didn't see the orphans whose parents died and brought them to the kindergarten, her choice conditions are actually very simple, first of all, the children she brought in, must be over 6 years old, already know a lot of things, can take care of themselves and are in the fastest state of learning affairs, boys are either smart, or strong, girls are either clever or good-looking. Because there is a risk in joining the army after all, children under the age of 6 who are too young and the elderly, as well as those children that Empress Chang does not fancy will be given some money to be placed on the spot. Originally, these people were homeless people, and they were already very grateful to have a place to settle, not to mention that the children born by Queen Chang, including men and women, and many of them were disabled, so no one thought that Queen Chang would arrange a secret guard for herself and her eldest son just by taking advantage of the orphanage.

At that time, there were seven or eight hundred orphans in the army orphanage for a long time, all of whom were 6-14 years old children, these people lived with the families of the generals in the army, and learned various combat skills with the army since they were young, and they directly participated in the army to fight when they were 15 years old, they have too many advantages over ordinary soldiers.

First, these children are all exceptionally smart, or brave, or even a few, smart and brave, this is not a characteristic that most ordinary soldiers can have, it can only be said that Queen Chang's eye for picking people is really good, just like when she was a village girl, she chose the ancestor who will rule the world in the future......

Compared with the newly recruited peasant soldiers in the village, even if these children are only 14 or 15 years old, they are as alert and calm as veterans who have been in the army for many years, and have an innate intuition for fighting and acquired war skills.

Third, the kindergarten in the army where these children are located, is in the rear of the army all the year round, and together with the descendants of the generals, they are taken care of by Empress Chang, that is to say, these children are invested in the army, and they generally follow the generals, or even the children of the generals who grew up together, are the natural henchmen and loyalists of these generals, so that the generals will see the benefits.

A personal retinue who grew up with his own son (himself), knows the roots, is smart and brave, that is, bravely kills the enemy and is loyal to the Lord, and at the same time is an orphan, has no soldiers and no power, and it is impossible to share his own interests, such children, who is willing to abandon them, so these children can get closer to the core of power faster than anyone else.

Of course, their most loyal person must be Empress Chang, so when they dispersed to the side of the generals of various armies, the generals were happy to promote and use them, and Taizu was also very happy to see that there was such a group of children who were grateful to Empress Chang by the generals' side, so that no matter who had a different heart, the children would report it to Empress Chang as soon as possible.

When the military kindergarten was first established, there were people who were dissatisfied, thinking that it was a waste of money and food, but in just five years, as the first batch of children were put into the army, everyone only praised the orphanage. It just so happens that in the past five years, Queen Chang has also straightened out the concubines around Taizu, and the disobedient ones are sent away, and the obedient ones are left, although there are some concubines who are not so obedient and self-conscious and beautiful, but with the little beauties in the first batch of orphans born in Queen Chang's kindergarten to 15, At the age of 16, she began to be able to marry, especially Queen Chang also married the most beautiful one to Taizu, and most of the rest of the beautiful girls were married to generals or heirs with real power in the army, that is to say, Empress Chang's power began to be grasped by the military power and the back house, and these beautiful concubines had to be honest and obedient.

Because no matter how beautiful a woman is, she will age as she gets older, and in the hands of Queen Chang, there will always be little beauties who are growing up and have just grown up.

The same is true for the offspring. Generally, the older the elderly, the more they prefer their young sons, but Queen Chang can not only provide unlimited beauties to Taizu, but also arrange for good girls to be born and raised, and provide unlimited heirs, Taizu prefers young sons, but the number of young sons is too large, it is a little annoying, especially when the young sons are raised by Queen Chang one by one white fat and cute, innocent, When he didn't know the world and was still a little weak, the eldest son born to Empress Chang, who had suffered in the countryside and graduated a few years after graduating from the position of kindergarten child king in the army, was already a capable and thin young general who had experienced wind and frost and war.

The preference for the cute young son can never compare to the expectation of the eldest son who can support the family business, not to mention that at this time, Queen Chang also gave birth to Princess Chongyang, the daughter of Taizu, Taizu found that since the birth of this little lucky star, Taizu's rebellion has opened the Qingyun straight up mode, and she is more trustworthy for Queen Chang, and even in many aspects other than the military, she obeys Queen Chang's words, so the military kindergarten was established within five years, and Queen Chang has established a prestige that can be compared to Taizu in the army.

After that, Taizu's rebellion became bigger and bigger, more and more talents were needed, and the scale of the orphanage in the army was also expanding more and more, and no matter how tired and busy Queen Chang was, the children who could be included in the orphanage were all selected by Queen Chang herself one by one, that is, everyone was worthy of Queen Chang's kindness. By the time Taizu won the world and was crowned with Yuan as the throne, there were as many as 2,000 orphans in the army at that time, plus the children scattered to the army for more than ten years, nearly 5,000.
