If you ask Zhu Youxiao to join the Guards, is it possible for Zhu Youxiao to agree?

They feel like they're trying to eat fart, which is simply not possible.

Zhu Youxiao looked at this guard, and looked at it more tightly than his own son, if they wanted to intervene in it, it would be impossible at all.

Zhang Weixian sighed and said, "I heard that the training method of the Guards is different from the training method of our army, and I heard that the firearms used by the Guards are very powerful, and they are not comparable to us. ”

Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei next to him, also knew some of the situation, and said, "This is a fact. ”

"Didn't Zhang Jiu's gang want to rebel, didn't they want to be the son of heaven and become a general? They are simply wishful thinking. ”

"I sent someone to see their battle, and the Guards beat an army like theirs, which is like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves, and they can easily kill into the city."

"Zhang Jiu and his twenty or thirty thousand people were exterminated, although most of them were homeless, only five or six thousand elites, but in the end, the casualties of the guards were not more than 100."

The surrounding nobles all exclaimed, "How can it be no more than a hundred, could it be that these guards are all iron-clad?" ”

But they looked at Xu Hongji, thought about it, and had to believe that what Xu Hongji said was the truth.

Zhang Weixian sighed, "If Your Majesty's army defeats 20,000 or 30,000 exile troops and suffers no more than 100 casualties in the end, then there is really no need for our army to exist."

These armies are quite difficult to clear out the exile army, how can they be the opponents of the Guards?

Zhang Weixian's words came out, and everyone agreed very much, and everyone's mood was very low.

However, Xu Hongji over there suddenly said a word, "Your Majesty has eliminated these officials who harm the people this time, as well as the officers of the guards, and they must have made a lot of silver, according to our estimates, 10,000 taels of silver is indispensable." ”

"Then Your Majesty will inevitably expand the army, and in the future, he will use it completely, destroy Jiannu, and pacify the rebels in various places, so Your Majesty must have a lot of troops to build, I have some good old friends in the capital, and they told me that Your Majesty will at least expand the 300,000 guards."

The big guys were surprised when they heard this, 300,000, then this is a total of 500,000 guards, if His Majesty's guards are really expanded to this extent, then if nothing else, the guards will definitely be abolished.

Because the 500,000 guards are enough to suppress the world, there is no longer any need for any guards, and even the army and status of these people are in jeopardy.

But they obviously knew that Xu Hongji wanted to say more than that, and only saw Xu Hongji say: "But Your Majesty wants to expand so many troops, and you will definitely need more officers." ”

"There are some officers who are transferred from the old guards, but there must be still a lot of gaps, not all the old guards are suitable to be transferred to be officers, we are the same as the country, loyal to the court, Your Majesty must still appease us."

"So I heard that His Majesty's Guards plan to come up with three ways to fill their officer gap."

"The first way is to transfer people from the old guards to be officers, and the second way, Your Majesty is now also collecting some orphans."

"In addition to joining the Jinyi Guard, there are quite a few more of these orphans, and His Majesty has established a military academy called What Junior Military Academy, which is also intended to train future Guards officers."

"The advantage of these people is that once they are trained, they will inevitably be loyal to Your Majesty, but the disadvantage is that these orphans have not grown up yet, and they are not so quick to serve as Your Majesty's Guards officers."

"Then the third aspect is that His Majesty intends to establish three royal military academies, the first military academy will directly face those low-ranking officers of the Guards, teach him the method of combat command, and let them serve as senior generals of the Guards in the future."

"On the other hand, in the face of honors and officials of the Ming Dynasty, we can also send our children to study in military schools, and when they graduate later, they can still join the Guards as officers, and the training time is as long as two years, and after two years, they can become the platoon commander of the Guards."

When a noble man heard this, he aroused the curiosity in his heart and asked, "Wei Guogong, what is the platoon commander?" ”

Xu Hongji sighed when he heard the last, "The so-called platoon commander can command thirty people. ”

When the generals present heard this, they all exclaimed, "Thirty people? Only able to lead thirty people? ”

What is the background of these people, the lowest is Uncle Hou, and their sons and daughters are going to lead thirty people, so they can't hold up their face.

One of the nobles stood up and said loudly, "Isn't this humiliating us? I would rather my sons stay at home and eat and die, and I will not send them. ”

When the other nobles heard this, they also coaxed, "That's right, just thirty people, then at least a few hundred, thousands of people are okay, they are hereditary Hou Bo's disciples, go out to lead thirty people, so how can it be done." ”

"If my son dares to tell me when he comes home that he has gone to be a petty officer and is in command of only thirty men, I would rather break his legs."

Seeing that the discussion was getting more and more intense, and there was a look of being out of control, Xu Hongji sighed, and then pretended to cough.

Everyone found that Xu Hongji behaved like this, and they all quieted down, after all, this is someone's home, and they are not too presumptuous.

However, Zhang Weixian stood up and said to Xu Hongji, "The Duke of Wei's Mansion has been in Yingtianfu for more than a hundred years, and it has contributed to the Ming Dynasty, and His Majesty still attaches great importance to the Duke of Wei." ”

"Why don't we jointly elect the Duke of Wei, go to Shuntianfu to meet Your Majesty on our behalf, and ask him for a favor, we don't ask for much, even if we let our children lead five hundred or one thousand people."

"It's just that if we only command a mere thirty people, we can't accept it no matter what, not to mention that we have to go to that military academy for two years of training, so it is not necessary, we can let them go to the barracks to watch and learn at the same time."

The nobles present all nodded when they heard this, thinking that Zhang Weixian's words were very appropriate.

Then Xu Hongji sneered and said, "No need, I have already booked a place for this autumn military academy in advance, just wait for this autumn, the dog will go to the military academy to study, I heard that there are not many places in each military academy, you don't go better, you can also make room for others." ”

As soon as Xu Hongji said this, the nobles present were already stunned.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
