Chapter 58 Sun Yingyuan, the Tiger General of the Brave Guard Camp
"Dang Dang Dang..."
Early in the morning, when the sky was slightly bright, the sound of clanging gold resounded through the entire military camp.
This was a disaster for the Fourth Guards and the First Battalion, which had not been trained strictly.
They got up in a hurry, put on their armor clumsily, and after a long time, they ran towards the school grounds in the military camp.
Like stragglers, they poured into the school grounds one after another, and the three guardsmen of Habayashi were already standing on both sides of the school grounds.
Compared with this group of horse guards who had not practiced for a long time, although the three guards of Yulin had free wages and spent three days fishing and two days drying nets in training, they were still better than them who had never practiced.
Looking like a headless fly, he hurriedly looked for the horse supervisors of his Qianhu, chief banner, and small banner. Some of the Yulin guards nearby even cast mocking glances.
As long as you encounter someone who is worse than yourself, the original poor student will be proud. This is normal.
However, they soon stopped laughing because the Fifth Highness, whom they respected and feared, took Lu Wenzhao, Wang Chengen, Yang Lian, the Ministry of War and other officials and minor officials to the high platform of the school grounds.
The three guardsmen of Yulin standing in the front row could clearly see how dark their highness's face was.
A full two-quarters of an hour has passed since the ringing of the golden dot and the present moment, which is a full half hour.
After such a long time, even the ruffians should have found their backbone, but they didn't.
Zhu Youjian sat on the main seat on the high platform of the school ground, motioned Yang Lian to sit on the deputy seat, and then said with a gloomy face:
"Lu Wenzhao, ask the three guards of Yulin and the guards of Jinyi to take action and help organize this rabble!"
"I accept this order from my humble position!" Lu Wenzhao heard this, handed over his hands to compile, turned around and shouted:
"The three guards of Yulin and the Jin Yiwei take action to help the brothers of the fourth guard and the first battalion adjust!"
As soon as the voice came out, the six temporary Yulin Sanwei Qianhu and four Jinyiwei Baihu standing behind Lu Wenzhao all handed over their hands to accept the order.
They trotted down the high platform, then commanded their own troops, and launched a killing blow against the Fourth Guards Battalion who were still in chaos.
More than 13,000 people were beaten by more than 7,000 people until they cried for their fathers and mothers. Only a few people dared to yell or curse.
But what is said is that if you can unite the people around you in chaos, such a person has the qualities of a leader, and Zhu Youjian also saw a person with such qualities.
Among the 20,000 rebels on the school grounds, a group of guardsmen holding the flag of the Tengxiang Guards stood in place in an orderly manner. The three guards of Yulin did not lecture them. It seemed that they had already assembled and were in correct positions.
"Who led that team?"
Zhu Youjian pointed to the men and horses standing like a lighthouse in the storm and asked. When Wang Chengen saw this, he bowed slightly and said:
"Looking at the number of people and their positions, they should be from the Zhaojiatun Hundred Households Office under the banner of Tengxiang Zuowei Wang Pingshan's Thousand Households. The leading Hundred Household is called Sun Yingyuan, and he is a hereditary military household from the Royal Horse Prison."
"Sun Yingyuan?" Zhu Youjian's gloomy face couldn't help but improve a little when he heard the name.
This name may be the best news I got after coming to the Royal Horse Prison.
Sun Yingyuan, this person is not familiar to many people in later generations, but in fact he was one of the founders of the Yongwei Battalion established by Chongzhen in history.
There is no record of his hometown, place of birth, or even the dates of his birth and death in the history books, but it is recorded that he was in charge of horse herding in the Royal Horse Supervisor.
As many people believe, Chongzhen did not have a team of people loyal to him.
As an emperor, although Chongzhen was not good at political means and strategic vision, he must have some scheming.
After realizing that the border troops were unreliable, he assembled the Four Guards and One Battalion of the Royal Horse Guards and some officers and soldiers of the Beijing Camp for selection, and finally selected a brave guard battalion of more than 10,000 people.
The three most powerful generals in the Yongwei camp are Sun Yingyuan, Zhou Yuji, and Huang Degong.
They led the Yongwei Battalion to fight many tough battles with the Peasant Army and the Hou Jin Army. It can be said that from the Yongwei Battalion alone, Chongzhen did better than most people.
But from a grand strategic and political point of view, Chongzhen's method of splitting up the Yongwei camp was not very clever.
In Zhu Youjian's view, either the Yongwei battalion should be deployed to suppress the bandits, give them trust, and give them the will to expand in the local area.
Or simply ask the Yongwei Battalion to guard the surroundings of the capital and make Beizhili's operations as solid as an iron barrel.
But in history, Chongzhen split the Yongwei Battalion into three, which directly led to Sun Yingyuan's death in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, and Zhou Yuji's death in the battle of Ningwuguan later. Huang Degong was the only one of the three heroes of the Yongwei Battalion.
It can be said that if there were the expanded Yongwei Battalion to defend him, it would be difficult for Li Zicheng to break into Ningwuguan. Even if he did, the Yongwei Battalion would escort Chongzhen south to secure his throne.
At that time, it will be impossible for the four towns in Jiangbei. If Liu Liangzuo and others dare to rebel, they will be suppressed by the Yongwei Battalion as soon as possible.
It's a pity that one step was wrong and the other was wrong.
As for Sun Yingyuan, Chongzhen could not stand up to him in history, and what Zhu Youjian had to do was to promote him in advance.
"Send Sun Yingyuan up!" Zhu Youjian spoke loudly, and Wang Chengen also quickly sent a message to the young eunuch to summon Sun Yingyuan.
Since the school grounds are large enough to accommodate 40,000 people for training, when the young eunuch arrived at Sun Yingyuan's headquarters, the entire formation of the Royal Horse Guards had slowly taken shape under the corrections of the three guards of the Yulin Forest and the killing sticks of the Jinyi Guards.
Less than a few seconds after the young eunuch arrived in front of Sun Yingyuan's headquarters, Zhu Youjian saw the young eunuch leading a taller general towards the high platform of the school ground.
The little eunuch was roughly five feet three inches tall, but the general was a head taller than him, at least five feet nine inches or six feet tall.
Zhu Youjian stared at the two of them, and at this time, the generals of the three guards of Yulin and the hundreds of households of the first battalion of the fourth guard stood under the high platform of the school ground.
Under their gaze, the little eunuch led Sun Yingyuan to the high platform, which made them slightly surprised.
"I bid Sun Yingyuan, the official of the Hundred Households of Tengxiang Left Guard, to pay my respects to His Highness Five! Your Highness is a thousand years old!"
As soon as Sun Yingyuan reached the high platform, he knelt down on one knee and bowed with his hands in hand.
Zhu Youjian also took a rough look at Sun Yingyuan at this time.
Sun Yingyuan, as he expected, was in his mid-twenties and about five feet nine, nearly 1.9 meters tall. It could be said that he stood out among the army.
Under the old hood of the official's armor and the mandarin duck war, he has a strong and tough body, not fat but strong.
"Looking like this, wearing the hood of a hundred-household official would be an injustice to you."
As soon as Zhu Youjian opened his mouth, he made it clear that he wanted to be promoted, which made Sun Yingyuan happy. Zhu Youjian also turned his head and said to Wang Chengen:
"Here, Sun Yingyuan is promoted to the official of the Hundred Households and becomes the Tengxiang Left Guard Qianhu, temporarily acting as the commander of the Tengxiang Left Guard!"
After saying this, everyone was surprised, and Sun Yingyuan even bowed his head:
"The last general, Sun Yingyuan, thanks His Highness for your kindness, and wraps his body in horse leather to repay Your Highness, Your Majesty, and the Ming Dynasty for your kindness!"
Jumping from a hundred households to a thousand households is a two-level jump in a row, and being a temporary commander of the third rank means that as long as he does a good job, Sun Yingyuan can firmly occupy the position of commander.
In this way, Sun Yingyuan can be said to have reached the sky in one step, directly jumping to the position of a third-level military commander.
Although this is the rank of a military commander of the Royal Horse Guards, the Ministry of War generally looks down upon it, so it doesn't take it too seriously, but it is still the third rank.
Zhu Youjian was not worried that the Ministry of War would impeach him. Not to mention the Ministry of War, but the Military Department sitting next to Zhu Youjian. When Yang Lian heard about the incident, although he was surprised, he thought about it and thought that the Royal Horse Prison was the emperor's forbidden army.
It is not under the control of the Ministry of War and Military Science, so I did not intervene.
But no matter what, the matter of reaching the sky in one step has become a fact, and Zhu Youjian also found a general for the Royal Horse Supervisor.
