The founding military strength of every dynasty was extremely powerful.

Those who are able to win the Great Tomorrow will inevitably advance with great success in the later stages of the war. As the victory progresses, the soldiers will also become mature from immature and have strong self-confidence.

Confidence is a top priority for the military.

A person's bravery is only reflected in the individual, but when the number of people reaches thousands or tens of thousands, it is completely a struggle of momentum.

During the Han Dynasty, there was a preference for fighting between generals in front of the army. It seemed to be a personal competition, but in fact it was a competition for momentum.

From the perspective of later generations, it is extremely unrealistic for a general to chase hundreds of people and kill them, but in the era of cold weapons, it was not uncommon.

This is the importance of momentum.

Needless to say, the Ming Dynasty's army is now more powerful.

In this era of alternating cold weapons and hot weapons, bravery in the military is still very important.

Details, including the size of the soldiers and their armament, are also key.

Zhu Ying wanted to improve the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty army, so he had to start with food and training.

Xuanjiawei camp.

It has been nearly four months since Zhu Ying last came here, but the training in the camp never stopped.

When they were completely out of work and had enough meat and rice, every sergeant in Xuanjia Guard was completely different.

Even though the weather has turned cold in October, the sergeants in the camp are still practicing constantly, and the mere cold wind is nothing.

The moment when Zhu Ying, wearing Taisun's regular clothes, walked into the camp.

The soldiers who were conducting various drills quickly began to assemble amidst the loud shouts of their commanders.

With the sound of drums, sixteen square formations were formed under Zhu Ying's gaze, and it only took a quarter of an hour from the beginning of the order to the end of the assembly.

Today's quarter of an hour is fifteen minutes in later generations' parlance.

In the era of cold weapons, such a speed of assembly was beyond imagination.

If it were in other guard posts, it would be very good if all the troops could be assembled and lined up like this in two quarters of an hour, while normally it would take almost half an hour.

"Xuan Jiawei pays homage to His Highness the Grand Sun!"

As the flag bearer in front of the formation shouted loudly, all the soldiers knelt down on one knee, raised their heads and shouted filial piety together.

In the original military etiquette, soldiers should bow their heads to show respect to their superiors, generals, and His Highness the Grand Sun, or His Majesty the Emperor.

But Zhu Ying felt that this was not good. He lowered his head and felt that there was no strong sense of suppression. Since last year's military parade, it has been changed that all soldiers must hold their heads high when saluting, even if they kneel on one knee.

Be like this.

Seeing this, Zhu Ying said nothing, but took off her robe.

"Your Highness, the weather is getting a bit cold now."

Eunuch Guo Zhong of Bingbi tried to persuade him, but after all, he took the robe respectfully.

Zhu Ying smiled and said: "Do you think I grew up pampered and pampered? This cold wind is not even a cool breeze for me."

After saying that, he walked directly off the general platform and walked towards the formation.

This scene makes Bingbi eunuch Guo Zhong immediately anxious and makes you sweat.

What kind of status does His Highness Taisun have, how can he stand with these warriors?

These warriors stink. They were sweating profusely just now. They smell like this. How can this be caused? It is really disrespectful.

It's just that His Highness Taisun has strict rules, especially at this time. Guo Zhong also knows that he can only watch and dare not say a word.

Seeing this, the surrounding Jinyi guards looked at each other, a little hesitant, but did not dare to act rashly, and could only watch all this with nervous expressions.

Because the wolf-like eyes of the sergeants below gave them a feeling of not being very safe. This was due to the nature of warriors.

At this moment, the Xuanjia Guard soldiers still stopped and knelt down on one knee.

According to the requirements of the military camp, their eyes must always be fixed on the expression of His Highness Taisun. This is the first military order of the Xuanjia Guards, and they must not be violated when receiving instructions.

The sergeants who can stand in the front row are naturally the most courageous.

When Zhu Ying walked forward, he shouted: "Get up!"

The sound was like thunder, resounding throughout the entire military camp. No one could have imagined that His Highness Taisun's seemingly frail body actually contained such powerful power.

This roar made the soldiers with the loudest voices take a deep breath and prepare for a long time before shouting loudly. However, His Highness Taisun did not make these moves, and in an instant there was a thunderous sound.

Guo Zhong, who was on the general stage, was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground.

Normally, someone might laugh at his timidity, but at this time, no one would pay attention to him.

At this moment, Zhu Ying had already attracted everyone's attention.

After this sound, more than 5,000 Xuanjia guards who were kneeling on one knee stood up neatly in a snap, their eyes still fixed on His Highness Taisun.

Zhu Ying's height is considered acceptable. According to later generations' calculations, her net height is about 1.78 meters.

However, unlike the cloth shoes worn by ordinary soldiers, Zhu Ying wears special boots. These boots are undoubtedly suspected of being a little taller, so his current height is about 1.82 meters.

The current average height of Ming Dynasty is about 1.7 meters. Xuan Jiawei is naturally a bit taller, about 1.75 meters. Naturally, there are also strong men of 1.8 meters, but most of them are not as tall as Zhu Ying.

Zhu Ying took a few steps forward and walked straight in front of a strong man.

Staring at the sergeant, the sergeant couldn't bear Zhu Ying's gaze and lowered his head slightly to avoid Zhu Ying's gaze.

Zhu Ying said calmly: "Duan San, I heard that you are the most courageous soldier in our Xuanjia Guard. You have been among the top ten in the entire military camp for a long time in various competitions. How come you don't even have the courage to look at me?"

None?"

Duan San didn't expect that His Highness the Grand Sun would actually know his name, and he was filled with excitement at this moment.

However, after hearing the meaning of His Highness Taisun's words, Duan San hesitated slightly, then knelt on one knee and replied: "I dare not look at His Highness."

Zhu Ying asked: "Why don't you dare? Have you forgotten the first military order of Xuanjia Guard?"

Duan San replied: "I dare not forget. I am not afraid of life or death, but Your Highness is the supreme existence in my heart. If I look at His Highness, it would be disrespectful in my heart."

"My subordinates are willing to accept punishment."

The meaning of Duan San's words was that he would rather accept punishment than offend His Highness in his heart.

Zhu Ying smiled and said: "I asked you to read and write, but I don't know what happened now, but this talker has also followed suit."

"Okay, get up."

No one knew whether Zhu Ying's words were a test or had other intentions, but it was obvious that Duan San's words still satisfied Zhu Ying.

After asking Duan San, Zhu Ying started walking in the formation.

He looked at every sergeant seriously, and every sergeant, like Duan San, would lower his head slightly to avoid looking directly when he came into contact with His Highness Taisun's gaze.

But at the same time, Zhu Ying's appearance is also deeply engraved in their minds.

What Zhu Ying wants is this kind of effect.

What he did was not just for show, but to make every sergeant in Xuanjia Guard remember his appearance.

This walk lasted nearly half an hour, about forty or fifty minutes.

Zhu Ying didn't walk very fast. He tried his best to let every sergeant see his appearance clearly.

In today's ancient times, military mobilization only recognizes tiger symbols and not people.

Even the emperor, even Zhu Yuanzhang, could not mobilize an army that did not know him without the Tiger Talisman.

What Zhu Ying is doing now is obviously to put himself above Hu Fu.

The most important thing is that the Xuanjia Guards are one's personal bodyguards. Appropriate appearances can increase one's intimacy and familiarity among the sergeants.

Of course, the more than 5,000 Xuanjia Guards now are no longer the first group of Xuanjia Guards.

Strictly speaking, it has been changed to the third batch.

The first batch of Xuanjia guards that Zhu Ying had trained with before were basically the general banners of each guard station, and the military attachés of hundreds or even thousands of households.

Many of the second batch went to the Ming Military Academy, and some were in similar situations to the first batch.

Zhu Ying's arrival today is to let the third batch of new generation Xuanjia Guards know enough about him.

It can also be seen from this aspect that Zhu Ying has already lost at least 7,000 mid-level officers in today's Ming Dynasty army.

These seven thousand mid-level officers of the Ming Dynasty were all from Xuanjia Guards, and they also represented Zhu Ying's authority in the military.

In this situation of continuous transition, even if Zhu Ying does not have any experience in leading troops in combat, he will still have great influence on military power.

This was a way for Zhu Ying to secretly infiltrate and seize the group of noble generals belonging to Huaixi.

This is an outright conspiracy, and even if someone sees it, there is nothing they can do about it.

Every Xuanjia Guard here has comprehensive and other qualities that cannot be compared to ordinary sergeants.

Moreover, entering the Xuanjia Guards is considered a new recruit, but in fact, those who can enter the Xuanjia Guards cannot enter without knowing anything. Only those who have truly experienced fighting on the battlefield are qualified to be selected.

After the daily systematic training in Xuanjia Guard, the teacher's teaching, and the teacher's ideological education on loyalty.

Generally, after three months of training, one becomes a real Xuanjia Guard.
