Whose cavalry will be drawn?
Among the Nine Frontier Kings, King Ning had the largest number of cavalry and had the three guards under his command, which were not included in the military list.
"Five and Seventeen, why do you two offend him?"
Zhu Di could only mourn the two brothers in his heart. But when he thought of Ning Wang's attitude as if he was the eldest and the second, he couldn't help but feel happy.
"The Hu people have always had two advantages over the Central Plains. One is the geographical advantage, which comes from the north. The other is the military, and large-scale cavalry can attack at any time, which makes the soldiers and horses from all over the Central Plains dare not fight without permission, and can only defend themselves and fall into a disadvantage."
Zhu Yunxiong continued, "But if we form a large-scale cavalry regiment, we can beat him up with the methods of the Tartars." As he said, he grinned, "I may be searching elsewhere, but if there are 30,000 to 50,000 cavalrymen, I will really be willing to pay for the capital!"
Zhu Di thought about it, made up his mind and gritted his teeth, "Long live, in fact, there is only one of the iron cavalry. My big open fire weapon is sharp, and I can form a cavalry musket artillery team, and get on the horse and dismount to bombard it. It is elusive and has great lethality."
The Ming army actually had more mixed troops to fight, such as cavalry, archers, crossbowmen, firearms, infantry, etc. The Ming army did not lack the means to attack the enemy, but the problem was that these troops were not connected to each other on weekdays, and they could not be integrated if they were not famous generals in the army.
In other words, if these good soldiers are handed over to the hands of fools, they will not only fail to perform, but will also be bad.
If such a standing corps is established, the disadvantages of not being in charge of each other and neglecting cooperation can be avoided.
"The King of Yan and I coincide with each other." Zhu Yunxi smiled, "In fact, there are already such musket cavalry troops in the Beijing camp."
Zhu Di was stunned, "When...?"
"It has been planned for several years, and all the soldiers are both horses. The army does not regard rushing to the formation as its strength. When the enemy is dismounted from the horse and shot, the enemy chases the horse and leaves. Everyone in the team is equipped with muskets and horse-drawn cannon trucks for field battles."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di sighed again in his heart.
"You're so hiding!"
After pondering for a moment, hesitated and asked, "Dare you ask the emperor, who is the commander of the army?"
"Jiangyin Marquis Wu Gao is the deputy." Zhu Yunsheng smiled.
"Oh, that man is still successful. His brother was studying in Wenhua Hall, and later served in the army. He went to the frontier in the 16th year of Hongwu." Zhu Di said, "In the early years, Wu Gao and the minister also followed the former Duke of Ying to the frontier. His man was not as brave as his brother, and he was even more capable. He was a suitable candidate for troops." As he said that, he asked again, "He is the deputy? Who is the main person?"
Zhu Yunxi smiled, "Duke Cao Li Jinglong!"
"Ah?" Zhu Di thought he had heard it wrong, and then said seriously after a moment, "Emperor, Li Jiujiang is not the one who leads the army, I think..."
Zhu Yunxiu stood up, moved his waist and arms, stood beside the iron stove and watched the roasted Hongshu break the other party, "You agree with forming a large-scale cavalry corps, right?"
Then, without waiting for the other party to speak, he continued, "There must be such a deterrent corps. Among them, the soldiers must be all elites of the Ming Dynasty."
"King Yan, do you think we can draw elite troops from all over the place? What are your feelings about going to King Ning this time?"
Zhu Di sighed again in his heart and said to himself, "I understand, isn't it just taking the blame again? I'll just take the blame!"
So he spoke, "The cavalry under his seventeenth brother is better than me. If the emperor wants to form a standing cavalry, the three guards of Duoyan under the command of King Ning will be the first to be affected."
As he said that, he paused, "Actually, this is also a good thing. The three guards of Duoyan should be rectified properly, otherwise the Hu people would be unruly."
"The King of Yan is truly insightful!" Zhu Yunxiu praised and said to the Hanlin official who was always sitting in the corner on the other side, "I wrote down all the words of the King of Yan and sent them back to the Governor's Office of the Five Army of the Ministry of War."
At this time, Zhu Di saw that there was still a person sitting in the corner.
And when the man heard this, he grinned at Zhu Di.
"It's so fucking ugly!" Zhu Di cursed in his heart.
Just let me take the blame, but are you still afraid that I will not recognize it? Do you still have to put the words on the paper?
"The establishment of a cavalry regiment depends on King Yan. Let Uncle Fifteen really help you when he turns around!" Zhu Yunsheng said with a smile.
Who doesn’t know that the King of Liao obeys the emperor? Assist? Hum?
Zhu Di bowed his head and said, "I obey the order!"
He gave up the stubbornness in his heart, which did not mean that he had no temper. The reason for his cooperation was that this standing army was really a magic weapon for him.
With such a corps, why worry about not being able to make achievements and eliminate the Tartars?
"I have also handed over my cavalry and musket troops in the capital to you, Commander Wu Gao. After practicing for a few years, it's time to go to the border to see blood." Zhu Yunsheng said.
Zhu Di was overjoyed, "The Emperor is wise."
"The young generals and officials of the Governor's Office of the Five Army in the Beijing are also required to participate in the construction and training of the cavalry corps. They cannot be made into weapons without being carved, they must be tempered!" Zhu Yunsheng said.
This is a matter of winning multiple goals in one fell swoop. It can not only mix sand but also train generals, but also ensure the loyalty of this large-scale cavalry legion to the court.
"I obey the order!" Zhu Di said.
"There is another thing!" Zhu Yunxiu looked up and smiled, "King of Yan?"
When Zhu Di saw his smile, his spine became cold.
"What's the matter with the emperor?"
