Miaoqin Palace, this is Zhu Youzhen's dormitory, where he lived for ten years.

This palace belongs to one of the palaces of the East Palace, and the scale is actually not large, at most it can accommodate a prince, as well as two palace maids and a companion eunuch, with an area of only two or three hundred square meters.

Although the scale is not large, it is already one of the best palaces that the prince can live in.

Zhu Youzhen took Wang Chengen and more than a dozen brocade guards back to the palace, and before he sat down, he instructed Wang Chengen:

"You have now been promoted to the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Eunuch, and in the future, I will ask the imperial brother to promote a person named Cao Huachun to the admiral eunuch of the Imperial Horse Eunuch."

"You will inform Lu Wenzhao later, and ask him to transfer a brocade guard of the general flag to you, and take the trusted eunuchs under your hands, and change all the eunuchs in charge of the imperial horse eunuch for me."

"Tell them, give me a good cage of the people below and the eunuchs who are on the scene and signing books."

"Keep an eye on this group of guys, whoever dares to embezzle in it, the whistleblower can divide the property of the family after the seizure!"

"Slave and maid command!" Hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, Wang Chengen was terrified.

He didn't expect that His Highness would ask for such an errand for himself.

You must know that the Imperial Horse Supervisor is second only to the celebrant in the twenty-four yamen of the eunuchs.

The subordinates of the Imperial Horse Supervisor have hundreds of thousands of acres of grassland in the northern Zhili region.

Among these pastures, some are forage fields and some are pastures, and they can receive more than 182,000 stones of horse feed and more than 4.96 million bundles of hay every year.

In addition, there are more than 18,000 elephants, military horses, horses, donkeys, cattle, and sheep in the pasture.

For these alone, the Imperial Horse Supervisor has an income of more than 100,000 taels.

In addition to these, there are hundreds of cultivated land, imperial villages, and imperial shops, plus pastures and pastures, which can provide a stable income of 230,000 taels per year.

You must know that this is still a recorded open-faced silver tael, and I don't know how much I was greedy by those eunuchs in private.

Zhu Youzhen didn't know how much silver he could get from here, but what he was more concerned about was the establishment of the four guards and one battalion.

This is a collection of finance, military, logistics as one of the yamen.

The so-called four guards and one battalion is an army composed of Teng Xiang's left and right guards, Wu Xiang's left and right guards, and the warrior battalion.

Perhaps the most glorious moment of this army was the continuous expedition to the south and the north under the leadership of Ming Chengzu, Ming Xuanzong, Ming Xianzong, and Ming Wuzong.

Chengzu conquered Mongolia five times, and the imperial horse supervisor accompanied him at least three times.

Xuanzong conquered the Han king Gao Xu, the imperial horse supervisor and servant, and was ordered to lead 20,000 troops with Xue Lu, the Marquis of Yangwu, and Wu Cheng, the Bo of Qingping, as the vanguard.

Ming Wuzong toured Xuanda in the north and Huaiyang in the south, and was also accompanied by the eunuchs of the imperial horse eunuchs.

Such an army with extremely strong combat effectiveness was finally destroyed in the hands of Emperor Jiajing, who only knew how to cultivate.

Zhu Youzhen didn't bother to evaluate this ancestor of abandoned weapons, what he wanted to know most now was whether one-fifth of the 25,400 people recorded on the paper of the Imperial Horse Supervisor could be used.

Wang Chengen's ability is limited, so it is definitely not possible for him to review the army and select troops and materials.

Even Zhu Youzhen himself is not very good, after all, before he crossed over, that is, he was a big soldier for two years, and then he was discharged from the army to study at university, graduated from the public examination, and worked as a grassroots level for two years.

It's not that he can't do things, but he only knows the process of the modern army, and is not familiar with the process of the Ming Dynasty army.

Fighting a war is not a child's play, and it is impossible for him to apply the modern system to this era.

This is like playing women's liberation in this era, it is really the old birthday star who hangs himself for a long time.

The reason why he said that he would lead the people of the four guards and one battalion of the Imperial Horse Prison to build the imperial tomb was also to free up time for him to find someone who could train the army.

This person, he already has a candidate in his heart.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were only a few candidates for strong military training.

Qi Jiguang's nephew, Qi Jin, the actual commander of the Qi family army in the Battle of the Hunhe River.

The commander of the white pole army to aid Liao, Qin Bangping and his brother Qin Minping.

In fact, only these three people can be used by him, as for Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng, they are still just cadres on paper, and it is too unrealistic to use them.

It is now the first day of September in the first year of Taichang, and Zhu Youzhen remembers that these two southern troops began to go north at the beginning of the year.

According to the records of the history books, they would stay in Tongzhou, and then they fought because of the purchase of logistics by soldiers on both sides, so they had a grudge.

This also led to the defeat of these two first-class troops in the late Ming Dynasty in the Battle of the Hunhe River.

In Zhu Youzhen's heart, there were only three first-class troops in the late Ming Dynasty, namely the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, the Qi Family Army, and the White Pole Army.

The so-called Jurchen is invincible, but in the Battle of the Hunhe River, tens of thousands of people besieged the Qi family army and white pole soldiers, which added up to only 7,000 people, but the beaten people turned on their backs.

Two or three thousand people were killed and fell off their horses, and nine Houjin generals were killed by name and surname.

The Eight Banners of Houjin, at least during the Apocalypse, were only a second-rate army.

Or in other words, the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty are the strength of the normal border army of the Ming Dynasty when Ming Chengzu marched north.

Houjin's Eight Banners really jumped to the top of East Asia, and they had to wait until Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne.

At present, they are still supplemented by a small number of hoplites and hoplites, and a large number of lightly armed infantry are mainly fishing and hunting troops.

In Zhu Youzhen's view, he doesn't need to train hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses who can fight well, even if there are 30,000 soldiers and horses with the strength of the Qi family's army, he can trap Nurhachi to death in the northern Liaobei region.

At that time, even if he does not send troops, in a few years, the Xiaoice River will completely break out, and Nurhachi and his hundreds of thousands of Jiannu will starve to death in northern Liaoning.

Winning without a fight is Zhu Youzhen's idea, as long as he can not fight, he will not choose to fight.

Therefore, for him, the best teacher now is Qi Jin, who once followed Qi Jiguang to fight in the south and the north, not only against the Japanese invaders, but also against pirates, and also fought against the northern captives and guarded Jiliao!

However, the problem before him was that, according to the next historical process, Nurhachi would launch a large-scale attack on Shenyang and Liaoyang in order to seize the Liaodong Peninsula.

Nurhachi's strategic goal was simple, that is, after capturing the Liaodong Peninsula, he would confront the Ming Dynasty across the Liao River, and cut off the front line connecting Korea and the Ming Dynasty.

After doing so, whether he attacked the Khalkha Mongols in the west, or went east to fight Korea, or went north to clean up the savage Jurchens, it was an excellent choice.

Although Xiong Tingbi claimed to be training 180,000 troops in Liaodong, it was a question of whether he could pull out 50,000 to fight.

The Qi family army under Qi Jin's hands, as well as Qin Bangping's white pole soldiers, will definitely go to Liaodong to support, so the problem will be given to Zhu Youzhen.

Whether he wants to let Qi Jin go to Liaodong, or leave Qi Jiajun to help him train his troops.

Thinking of this question, Zhu Youzhen felt a headache, so he could only say to Wang Chengen first:

"After you leave the city, remember to ask the military department, just ask where the Sichuan soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers are, and tell me immediately after asking the results."

"The slave takes the command."

Wang Chengen nodded a little sneeringly, and Zhu Youzhen could only wave his hand to let him go down when he saw this.

As for himself, after sitting for a while, he still felt too sleepy after all, so he directly removed the table from the couch and took a nap......
