Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Disarmament of the Imperial Horse Supervisor

"Alright, get up."

On the high platform of the Yanshan Military Camp, as Zhu Youzhen spoke, Sun Yingyuan also got up slowly, and then walked to the stage.

Since he was the only commander at the moment, he did not hesitate to stand on the far left of the line.

It's just that behind them, the group of mud legs of the four guards and one battalion are still chatting non-stop, which makes Zhu Youzhen's mood worse again.

"Beat the drum and tell them to shut up!"

Zhu Youzhen, who opened his mouth with a gloomy face, although he was not very old, made people's hearts tight.

Lu Wenzhao hurriedly asked people to beat the drums, and even arranged for Jinyi guards to patrol the school field, but whenever someone opened his mouth to play, he turned around and was a killing stick.

In this way, another quarter of an hour was wasted, and the hour came to four quarters.

It is unimaginable that it would take four quarters of an hour to even march out of the camp, and it would take nearly half an hour for them to go to the battlefield, and I am afraid that they would be hacked to death by the enemy before they could get out of the tent.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen's first task is disarmament.

He walked to the front of the stage with a gloomy face, and said to the more than twenty thousand households below:

"Give you an hour to select qualified soldiers according to this requirement."

"Unqualified soldiers will be paid according to the whole year of this year, pack up their things and move out of the barracks before noon, and receive their salaries at the south gate of the barracks according to their names, places of origin and waist cards."

"Tell them that in the future, the Siwei and 1st Battalion will go to Liaodong to suppress Jianyu, and those who are afraid of death will leave quickly."

"If you are afraid that you will not have any silver income, you can build a village outside the barracks according to Lone's drawings and become a man who repairs the imperial mausoleum, with a daily salary of twenty yuan."

After speaking, Zhu Youzhen looked at Lu Wenzhao and said, "Call Yulin Sanwei to assist, and Jinyiwei is responsible for measuring his height and recording his military registration." ”

"Don't tell them about the military salary first, let's talk about the martial arts exercise on campus tomorrow."

"Commanded by humility." Hearing this, Lu Wenzhao saluted slightly, and then looked at Sun Yingyuan and said:

"Commander Sundai, you are responsible for the selection of troops for Teng Xiang's left and right guards, can you do a good job?!"

"The mark will not disgrace the mission!" Hearing this, Sun Yingyuan responded loudly and bowed in return.

"Good! So let's get started! I now announce the requirements for recruits. Lu Wenzhao explained according to Zhu Youzhen's words, and Zhu Youzhen returned to the chair and sat down to drink tea.

"First, don't be under five feet five in length!"

"This ......" When Lu Wenzhao said the first one, many thousands of households in the audience looked embarrassed, and Lu Wenzhao also frowned and said:

"Da Ming Ding has tens of millions of mouths, are you still afraid that you can't find tens of thousands of men over five feet five?!"

A sentence blocked everyone's mouths, and Lu Wenzhao continued:

"Second, don't pass thirty-five!"

"Third, lift 30 pounds of stone piers, and don't breathe more than ten people."

"This is three don'ts, do you remember?!"

"General Hui, I'll remember!" Hearing that there were only three don'ts, all the thousands of households breathed a sigh of relief.

If the Fifth Highness asked for more, then there would really be no more people left in the more than 13,000 people.

But they don't know, it's not that Zhu Youzhen doesn't want to set more rules, but that there is not enough time to recruit troops.

He must stabilize the army before Qi Jin and the Zhejiang soldiers rush to Changping, and then train a backbone force first, and then expand the army with the backbone force.

The three guards of Yulin are all palace guards, and their average height is five feet six inches, so the army that cooperates with them cannot be less than five feet five, and it is not very good to go any further.

He Zhu Youzhen wants the elite, if it is an ordinary foot soldier, he doesn't have to be so picky.

Since the Imperial Horse Supervisor has the strength and capital, it should be armed into an elite cavalry unit.

Even if it is an infantry, you must be an infantry with horses.

It was under such high standards that the audience began a vigorous screening, and Zhu Youzhen also looked at Wang Chengen and said:

"The craftsmen of the Ministry of Works, the craftsmen of the three guards, the ordnance of the armor factory, when will these things arrive?"

Wang Chengen bowed slightly and said: "Back to His Royal Highness, the craftsmen of the three guards of martial arts, a total of 1,600 people, are expected to arrive in ten days." ”

"The ordnance of the armor factory will need to be prepared in a few days, and then after Hua Chun and the Zhejiang soldiers are contacted, they will be escorted by the Zhejiang soldiers."

"Among the armor escorted, there are also armor of the military department, all of which are according to the ordnance armor you asked for for the Zhejiang soldiers and Shizhu soldiers from Long Live Live."

"Another month later, Banzai will allocate 270,000 taels of silver to Changping to send silver to Shizhu soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers."

"Hmm......" Hearing that the time arrangement was very abundant, Zhu Youzhen nodded, but then remembered the matter of the household department, so he asked:

"Has the barrata of the household department been approved?"

"At present, the slope land at the foot of Yanshan Mountain in Changping has been approved, with a total of 294,300 acres."

"According to the will of Banzai, as well as the wasteland in Huairou and Miyun, the household officials said that there are about 800,000 acres."

"In other words, there are more than a million acres?" Zhu Youzhen was sincerely happy, but when he looked sideways, he saw Yang Lian's cold face.

"Why is Yang so ugly?"

Zhu Youzhen opened his mouth to ask, but he didn't want Yang Lian to say:

"Your Highness, see for yourself how many soldiers and horses you have under your feet......"

Hearing this, Zhu Youzhen turned his head to look, and sure enough, thousands of people disappeared from the school field at once.

The original four-guard battalion of more than 13,000 people, now two-thirds of the people have left, and there are less than 5,000 people left.

You must know that these soldiers have been carefully selected, but Zhu Youzhen directly killed two-thirds of them with a sentence of five feet five.

Even if all these people are left, plus the three guards of Yulin, it will only be more than 10,000 soldiers and horses.

Seven guards and one battalion, there should have been 42,200 men and horses, but now it is only a quarter, and even two guards may not be able to get together, Yang Lian can be happy to have a ghost.

However, in this regard, Zhu Youzhen smiled and said:

"The chances of an army winning on the battlefield are not based on the number of people, but on which side is more elite."

"If you just look at the small number of people, then Xiong Tingbi previously controlled the 280,000 garrisons and guest troops in Liaodong, why didn't he directly end the old slave's nest, but continued to disarm?"

"Further down, at the beginning, Liaozhen had 82,000 soldiers and horses, but Li Chengliang mainly relied on 7,000 Liaodong iron cavalry, so he could control Inner Khalkha in the west, Jianzhou and Haixi Jurchen in the north, and North Korea in the east?"

"Doesn't all this explain the truth that soldiers are more expensive than fine, not more?"

"That Jizhen, from Longqing to the twelfth year of Wanli, so many soldiers and horses were beheaded but only thousands, and after Qi Shaobao came, thousands of beheadings were killed in just three years, so that Dong Fox and other northern captives could not go south and sued for peace, doesn't this explain the situation?"

When Zhu Youzhen said this, he didn't continue to talk about it, but just looked at Yang Lian, and after listening to his words, Yang Lian also felt that it really made sense, so he said to Zhu Youzhen:

"Your Highness is right, the old man has been taught."

Yang Lian is like this, he can afford to put it down, if you are right, he will definitely support and reflect on his behavior, unlike most of the dead duck-mouthed Donglin Party members.

Just like the matter of Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen in history, it is clear that Wang Huazhen is the Donglin Party, but when the Donglin Party people wanted to keep Wang Huazhen and blame Xiong Tingbi, Yang Lian dared to stand up and speak for Xiong Tingbi as a member of the Donglin Party.

"Yang is polite." Seeing that Yang Lian understood what he meant, Zhu Youzhen also turned his head and continued to chat with Wang Chengen.
