Chapter 441: Triumphant Entry into the City!
The next day, early in the morning.
The 1,000 elite officers and men specially selected from the three battalions had already finished their entire formation and gathered in the open space of the front camp in high spirits, waiting for Zhu Gaoxian's instructions.
Although Zhu Gaoxian intended to show the entire Beijing division the strength of the Ming army, if the army entered the city, it was still somewhat taboo, and the number of people was too large to cause various problems.
Therefore, he asked Su Wu to select a few elite teams from the three major battalions to use as representatives to enter the city.
It is said that in order to compete for this glory, more than a dozen generals fought for a red face and thick neck, and almost didn't fight......
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxian couldn't help but smile slightly, and the expression on his face became much more relaxed.
The three battalions themselves have extremely strong combat effectiveness, coupled with the fact that Zhu Gaoxian has fused Yue Fei's personality and conducted various military formations and discipline training for the three battalions, and Yue Wumu's name is in vain?
In the entire three major battalions, both in strength and quality, they were greatly strengthened and improved!
Especially after the battle of the Mobei grassland, the three major battalions have experienced the war experience of blood and fire, and they have stood out and become a truly iron-blooded strong army!
Zhu Gaoxian himself had made an assessment in private, if according to the combat strength and the quality of the soldiers, the three major battalions have almost completely surpassed his 200,000 troops in Liaodong, and they are much stronger than the 300,000 troops led by Liu Rong in the northwest!
Now among the three major battalions, the Shenji Battalion is good at attacking, the five military battalions are good at defending, and the Fengzi Battalion is the mainstay, although there are only less than 50,000 soldiers and horses in total, but they have jumped up and become the strongest army in the Ming Dynasty so far.
Zhu Gaoxian felt quite satisfied with this, with such a strong soldier in hand, the series of major things he would do next could be more convenient, and he would be more confident in the governance and reform of the Ming Dynasty in the future.
Otherwise, the large number of unsatisfied families in the south, as well as the Eastern Chagatai Khanate in the west, as well as the series of small states and Nanyang states in the south, would be enough for him to have a headache......
He came to the high platform of the camp, glanced at it, and found that the morale of the soldiers below was quite abundant, and they were all elite seeds, which could be called the best choice, and he immediately smiled:
"The military system has been established."
Su Wu, who was following behind him, was also scorching:
"Your Highness, according to your meaning, the original intention was to choose the best, but I didn't expect that there would be so many elite ...... in the army."
Zhu Gaoxian couldn't help laughing:
"It's a good thing that there are more talents."
He thought about it for a moment, and then commanded:
"After I return to Beijing, there will be no major moves for the time being, you spend more time and select some people from the army to enter the lecture hall for further study."
Su Wu's expression changed slightly, talking about martial arts?
I remember that His Royal Highness did say this before, and it seemed that Xia Laoshangshu and himself opened it in the Academy of Literature, and His Royal Highness himself taught it, but due to various reasons, the class has not been opened for a long time.
Listening to His Royal Highness's meaning, after stabilizing the situation in Beijing this time, it is time to open a martial arts hall?
His thoughts raced, and he bowed down to receive the order:
"Yes, please rest assured, Your Highness, the ministers will select talents to enter."
Zhu Gaoxian nodded and continued:
"There are 100 people in each session of the lecture hall, which lasts for three months, and I will give lectures in person at the beginning, and then gradually hand them over to you to take over."
"The best in the army are selected for entry, and the monthly assessment is carried out, and the best are advanced and the poor are retreated, so that they have a sense of urgency."
Su Wu secretly thought:
"Isn't this the real protégé of the Son of Heaven? I don't know how many people in the army will break their heads for this......"
But he still asked:
"Your Highness, will you only choose from the three major battalions, or will you expand to other armies?"
When Zhu Gaoxian heard this, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, in terms of relationship, the 200,000 troops in Liaodong can be regarded as his own confidants, but he can't favor one over the other.
"Let's choose together, send a letter to Liaodong and the northwest, inform them of this matter, and let them go to Beijing after their own internal selection, anyway, for the time being, Wutang still needs to make preparations, and I also have to deal with all the things in Beijing before I can have time......"
Su Wu responded: "Yes, please rest assured, Your Highness, the minister should handle this matter well." ”
After Zhu Gaoxian finished ordering this matter, he took a step forward and said angrily:
"Soldiers, when I see you like this, I feel very good, and with you, it is really the foundation of the Ming Dynasty!"
When the soldiers below, including all the soldiers around the camp, heard this, they all became excited and excited, and let out a low roar:
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose!"
Zhu Gaoxian then continued:
"You followed the Gu expedition to Mobei, first destroyed the Tatars, and then destroyed the Warats, killed countless enemies, made outstanding achievements, made immortal achievements for the Ming Dynasty, and completely solved the great trouble of the northern aliens, Lone is very satisfied with you, and will be rewarded heavily!"
"Whoa!"
Everyone likes rewards, especially His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never been a stingy person, and he treats the soldiers below very generously, so everyone immediately cheered, and the sound shook the sky!
"I think you all know that today, Lone will lead you into the capital to parade and praise the merits and play the Jietai Temple."
"This is a glorious moment for you, and it is also the supreme glory that you have exchanged for your own hard work and efforts."
"Be sure to let everyone in the capital know that it is warriors like you who defeated the barbaric and ferocious steppe aliens and destroyed the last country of the Mongols, and you are the real heroes of the Ming Dynasty!"
As Zhu Gaoxian's words fell, almost all of the entire barracks suddenly boiled!
In the minds of the soldiers, apart from his own brave and outstanding crown prince, who can treat them so solemnly?
With such a benevolent and generous and decisive Crown Prince, who can not respect and disrespect?
Even the old emperor Zhu Di, who succeeded in Jingnan at the beginning, had a great reputation in the army, but now he is no longer as good as Zhu Gaoxian, the crown prince......
After encouraging and encouraging the officers and men in the army, Zhu Gaoxian instructed Su Wu:
"Let's go."
"Qingyu just told me that the hundred officials of the court have come to wait for us outside the Anding Gate."
Su Wu should get down, turn around and go down to make arrangements.
And Zhu Gaoxian got off the high platform directly, got on the horse with the guards, and began to move forward slowly.
Today, he did not wear the crown of the prince's clothes, but wore inner armor and prepared to enter the city in the dress of a general.
After all, according to Jin Yiwei's report, some people are almost hysterical and frenzied, ready to take advantage of this only opportunity to completely eliminate him, the prince of the East Palace!
"Array, forward!"
Zhu Gaoxian came to the front of the team, his face was serious, and he waved his hand:
"Let's triumph into the city!" (End of chapter)
