At the beginning of Zhu Youzhen's accession to the throne, he decisively eliminated the eunuchs and stabilized the court, which made Li Banghua very happy, thinking that Zhu Youzhen had the appearance of a bright monarch and would inevitably far surpass the previous emperors. Although Zhu Youzhen also has a Xiyuan military training, in Li Banghua's eyes, he is just a young man who likes to play. At present, the construction of slaves outside the pass is aggressive, and the thousands of miles of land in Liaodong have been lost, and Zhu Youzhen's martial arts training is also a good thing in Li Banghua's view, which shows that Zhu Youzhen has the heart to recover the land and rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty.

However, Li Banghua didn't expect that Zhu Youzhen actually added Enke martial arts for military training, which was to play and treat the imperial court's martial arts as a child's play! He was a person who was outspoken and dared to admonish, so he spoke directly at the moment, asking Zhu Youzhen to dispel his thoughts and send the Wujin soldiers to the border army or the Beijing camp to use them where they were needed most.

Zhu Youzhen did not answer Li Banghua's admonition directly, but smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically: "Li Shilang, let's not talk about the border army for the time being, what do you think of the current situation in Beijing?" ”

Li Banghua was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "There are many disadvantages, and the combat power is low, which is far inferior to the time of Wanli. ”

Zhu Youzhen asked with interest: "For example? ”

Li Banghua said: "The minister has only heard of it, there are too many disadvantages of the Beijing camp, and what the minister knows is to occupy the army, pretend, and borrow horses, and it is even more common to embezzle military salaries." The generals of the Beijing camp and even the officials of the central part of the Beijing camp wantonly used the soldiers of the Beijing camp to do private work for their own families, such as repairing courtyards and houses, and often enlisted hundreds or even thousands of soldiers. The number of soldiers in the Beijing camp is claimed to be 200,000, in fact, many of them are fraudulent military salaries, and the people on the actual roster do not exist. Officials in Beijing often borrowed horses from the Beijing camp, and the horses that pulled the carts on the street came from the Beijing camp in two or three times out of ten, and even more, they bought the horses of the Beijing camp at a very low price for their own property. As for embezzlement of military salaries, it is already common among all armies, so how can the Beijing camp be an exception? ”

Jingying has always been a pain in Zhu Youzhen's heart, Jingying, which consumes more than one million stones of grain every year, couldn't even hold out for a few days in the face of the thieves attacking the city! From the moment he was just reborn, Zhu Youzhen vowed to change the situation. But he also knew that, as Li Banghua said, there were too many shortcomings in the Beijing camp, and it was too difficult to change, so he decided to start a new business and train recruits in Xiyuan.

When he was the emperor in the last life, at the beginning of his reign, Zhu Youzhen also used Li Banghua to rectify the Beijing camp with the squire of the Rong Political and Military Department, after Li Banghua managed the Beijing camp, the situation in the Beijing camp was indeed much better, but he offended too many vested interests, when Jiannu besieged the Beijing Division, the Beijing camp soldiers made some mistakes and accidentally injured the friendly troops outside the city, and those who lost the interests of the Beijing camp seized this point and attacked Li Banghua desperately, and finally made Li Banghua go to work.

The reason for Li Banghua's resignation, the reason why those people are desperately attacking, is more due to Zhu Youzhen's own personality, he is too impatient, and the slightest disharmony will anger the principal, in the previous life, there are not a few important ministers who lost their officials or even lost their lives because of this, and many of them are real national talents! Competent officials were deposed, and all that remained was a submissive one.

Zhu Youzhen's face turned blue and pale, and his jealousy for the civil officials dissipated a lot, and he regretted more of the mistakes he had made.

Li Banghua stopped, his understanding of Jingying now is also very superficial, he just heard about it, and seeing that the emperor fell into deep thought, Li Banghua stood quietly.

The hall fell silent all of a sudden.

In October of the second year of Chongzhen, the slave chieftain Taiji personally led the main force of the Eight Banners to break through the defense line of the Great Wall of Jibei through Mongolia and invade the Guannei, besiege Beijing and loot Gyeonggi, which has since become a nightmare for the people of the Ming Dynasty.

No, I will not allow this to happen again!

Only the Xiyuan Janissary is not enough, after all, there are only two years left in October of the second year of Chongzhen, and Zhu Youzhen is not too sure what kind of training the new army can practice in two years.

In addition to the Janissary New Army, it is also necessary to reorganize the Beijing battalion! Even if the new Praetorian Guard army is trained, it should not be used to defend the city, but to use it in field warfare to exterminate Jiannu and recover the country, and the division defending Beijing still has to rely on the Beijing camp. However, the current Jingying has no strength to fight at all, and it has reached the point where it cannot be rectified.

Zhu Youzhen looked at Li Banghua, because he knew that the person in front of him was the most suitable person to rectify the Beijing camp. is not only Li Banghua outspoken and daring to admonish, but also because he has the courage to do things without fear of offending people.

"Since Li Shilang knows the shortcomings of the Beijing camp, is he willing to rectify the Beijing camp for me?" Zhu Youzhen asked suddenly.

Li Banghua was stunned for a moment, his face showed a look of eagerness to try, and he said angrily: "Your Majesty's order, the minister does not dare to resign!" ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "In this way, I will order you to be the governor of the Beijing camp as the head of the military department, and be responsible for rectifying the affairs of the Beijing camp, and you can deal with everything in the Beijing camp." I give you the banner of the king's order, and you can exercise the right to cut first and then play. ”

Li Banghua was very moved: "How can the minister be so trusted!" ”

Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "Li Shilang, I can make an agreement with you, you are responsible for rectifying the Beijing camp, I will train the new army in Xiyuan, and after two years, see if your Beijing camp is powerful, or my new army of the Praetorian Guard is stronger!" ”

Li Banghua hurriedly said: "The Beijing camp is His Majesty's Beijing camp. ”

There is no agreement for the competition, not that he does not dare, but that he disdains. In Li Banghua's view, no matter how smart Zhu Youzhen is, he is just a seventeen-year-old boy, what kind of selection and training do he know? Did he think that he would be able to form an army with 300 warriors? War is not a fight, and the army is not a child's play.

Regarding Li Banghua's attitude, Zhu Youzhen also didn't care. Hmph, one day, I will show you what a real strong army is!

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen issued an order, and Li Banghua, the squire of the military department, was appointed to supervise the Jingying Rongzheng and be responsible for the rectification of the Beijing camp. When the news reached the foreign court, it immediately caused many people to panic, which is not mentioned for the time being.

After disposing of the affairs of the Beijing camp, Zhu Youzhen turned his thoughts back to the Xiyuan Guard, the Enke military test has ended, and the three hundred Wujin soldiers can be used as grassroots officers of the new army, and then recruit young and strong people from the people to join the army, and the shelf of the new army will be erected.

However, there must be someone in charge of training. Zhu Youzhen, as an emperor, can't train the troops in person, besides, in addition to seeing the appearance of the army four hundred years later, he has some understanding of the powerful army model, but he is not very clear about how to train the troops.

Who should I use to train my troops? Zhu Youzhen pondered deeply, and while thinking, he randomly fiddled with the note on the imperial case, and picked it up at random to look at it, but it was an appointment note from the ministry, waiting for his approval and approval, and suddenly a name appeared on Zhu Youzhen's eyelids.

Yes, that's him!
