In the northwest corner of Taiye Pond in Xiyuan, there is an inner school ground. It was originally the place where the Four Guards Camp and the Warrior Camp took turns to stay in the imperial palace, which was also commonly known as the place where the Royal Horse Guards and the Imperial Army used to train. It was officially established during the Xuande period.
Starting from the Fourth Guards Camp, these five battalions sometimes drew out men to strengthen the Beijing Camp, and sometimes selected Ruijian to supplement them. In the past few decades, the number has increased from a few thousand to more than 20,000 today.
Of course, it is impossible for such a large number of personnel to be stationed near the palace. In addition to the red bunker defenders inside and outside the palace, there are about hundreds of people stationed in Xiyuan. When they are not practicing on weekdays, they are also responsible for raising horses and feeding ligers.
Wait for rare animals.
Therefore, now that five hundred avant-garde troops of the Prefecture Army suddenly poured into Xiyuan, it suddenly seemed that there was some shortage of space. Although several big officials in the Bureau of Ceremonies had already ordered the evacuation of houses and the construction of new camps, and also ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs to rush to make fat coats.
Military uniforms, but there are still some clothes left by the Royal Horse Guards, but the house will not be completely ready for a while. It took a long time to finally arrange it. At this moment, a young man walked towards the spacious inner school grounds like this
Standing, sparse and crooked, not to mention the momentum, just one look can make people feel angry.
And Xu Xun is indeed holding a fire in his stomach right now.
Since meeting him that day, Huitong has really been mentally alert. In the past few days, a steady stream of news has reached his ears. In addition to the first few censors and Ma Wensheng and Dai Shan, there are also
He naturally knew who followed the trend and impeached him. He had already issued a military order in the Wenhua Palace, so he naturally did not worry about gains and losses as before. So when Ruisheng sent him to the Wenhua Palace last time, even though the little guy was a little worried and said that he wanted to
He helped inquire about the situation, but he still stopped him without saying a word.
As a result, just this morning, when he was waiting in front of Xi'an Gate to enter the palace, Ruisheng came to greet him again, and brought another shocking news. In the incident, Wu Shun was impeached for accepting bribes as a young son.
The Minister of the Ministry, Ma Wensheng, impeached Shi Daishan, the imperial censor of Zuodu, for the favor of his wife and concubines. At the same time, he also wrote a letter to impeach the two people, including Hu Ke, who was responsible for the affair. Ma Wensheng and Dai Shan had already impeached themselves and begged for divorce!
Naturally, Xu Xun would not feel happy that he had been labeled as a sycophant for no apparent reason, especially since there were two top bosses involved. However, the situation in Rushan suddenly reversed.
, but he, the person involved, was equally unhappy. He even had an unspeakable intuition vaguely.
He may have been used as a weapon! How much Emperor Hongzhi trusted these veterans who had served him for many years. The last time he was summoned by Wenhua Hall, there was a vague intention of making peace. The emperor wanted to suppress this kind of thing. There are ways. As long as the emperor was like before
It would be fine if Shi impeached the Zhang family and kept the memorial without publishing it. No one would make the mistake of attacking the minister. This is simply turning a small matter into a big matter! Besides, a new rich man like him is far away from being regarded as a nouveau riche.
Far from enough to attract people to fawn over.
Because of this, Xu Xun's mood became even worse when he saw the messy fifteen-and-a-half-year-old boy below. When he noticed Wang Shouren looking over, he frowned and walked to the big drum in front, suddenly picked up the drumstick and banged it.
Bang bang, hit hard. The first few times, the lower head only shook slightly, but after a dozen times, the people below gradually became quiet. After twenty or thirty blows, these hundreds of people finally completely suppressed their breathing.
, just standing there, still looking and feeling lethargic.
Seeing that the scene was gradually coming under control, Xu Xun put down his drumstick and turned around. Facing the black mass of heads, he took a deep breath and said loudly, "Those who are standing here today are all
The military remnants selected from the avant-garde military households of the government. If you are in the military household, you all know the difference between the remnants and the regular army. That is, the regular army is on duty and gets food and salary, but the remnants are just backup substitutes. Not only can they not earn food and salary, but they cannot leave.
You can't even do other work in the health center, you can only waste your family's money, am I right?" Wang Shouren's eyes flashed slightly as soon as he said this, and he seemed to understand Xu Xun's plan. The people below just calmed down easily.
The hundreds of people stirred slightly for a while. Although the whispers continued, they were brought to the Xiyuan early in the morning after they had joined the army. Everyone was full of shock and fear, not to mention
The elders in the family had taught them countless times to obey the rules, otherwise they would be beheaded. These concerns finally prevailed. After a while, hundreds of people became quiet again.
Seeing this scene, Xu Xun was secretly happy.
Fortunately, this time he was practicing in Xiyuan, and he could still take advantage of the right time and place. If he were elsewhere, it would not be so easy to gather these people at one time!
"But now, there is an opportunity for you to get food and salary from now on without wasting money and food!" Xu Xun suddenly raised his voice, and the crowd below was even more silent. He said word by word, "
Since you are the military households of the avant-garde of the government, you should know what the name of the avant-garde of the government was in the past. When Lord Yongle was here, the people who went out of the avant-garde of the government were called Daodaosheren, and they were the descendants of the emperor's grandson.
Army, a regular army is more majestic than the small flag of an ordinary guard! Now that you are lucky enough to be selected among them, do you want to train your Royal Highness to serve him well, and in the future, in the name of wielding a knife and sacrificing people, you can be your wife and your son, or do you want to do it?
Just like your father and brother, you are just waiting to eat that portion of military rations. It all depends on your thoughts.
Although most of them are only fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys, they were born into military families and grew up dancing with knives and sticks. It is not without adults jokingly saying such things as trying to get rich. However, it seems that both father and brother only talk about being errands, but in fact they are the same.
Shangguan's servants, and they at most occasionally work outside to earn some small money, who has not cursed God for being blind when sleeping hungry in the middle of the night? At this moment, a bold man in the crowd finally forgot the warning of his elders.
, suddenly had the courage to ask: "Do you really mean what you said?" "Of course you really mean it!" Xu Xun said these four words categorically, and saw that everyone was excited for a moment, and even people who knew each other or didn't know each other started whispering to each other.
, he didn’t try to stop it, he just stood on top and watched with cold eyes. It wasn’t until the time was almost up that he, standing next to the drum stand, picked up the drumstick again and hit it hard.
"I'll ask you one last time now. If anyone wants to exit, go directly to the open space on the left.
I will have someone take you out of Xiyuan immediately, and you can live your old life again.
But if you want to stay, I have something to say first! The army has its own rules and regulations. If you violate them, you will have no chance of escaping back! I will count to three, and if you want to leave, come out immediately!
One..., two...three!" Xu Xun lengthened his voice and saw that although a few people in the crowd hesitated, the designated place was empty in the end, and surprisingly everyone stayed.
He couldn't help but breathed a deep sigh of relief, knowing that the first hurdle had been passed. At this time, he had just led the five hundred households recommended by Sun Xu Guangqu, the fixed chief, and looked at the people below.
A group of people said: "Okay, since you are staying, let's issue everyone's token from now on. This token is your identity. If anyone loses it in the future, they don't need to stay here anymore. After receiving it,
After the waist card, form a formation according to the corresponding pattern and go to find the hundred households you belong to. This is the first level. If you have not completed it within ten breaths after receiving the waist card, then you will be eliminated!" Wang Shouren was doing nothing in Dingguo Palace before.
During those two days, Xu Xun spent almost the whole day there discussing the art of army and war with him, and later he also came to his door at night to ask for advice. Even his father, Wang Hua, at first thought that Xu Xun was just coming to the door for friendship.
The picture was of his Wang family's family background, but except for the first time, he went straight to Wang Shouren every time. One time, Wang Hua even listened at the door for half an hour, only to hear the two of them talking about ancient times and the present.
The big battle is small
The battle finally gave up his worries. Even so, Wang Shouren couldn't help but be amazed when he saw that Xu Xun was quite organized.
At a young age, Xu Xun obviously read a lot of miscellaneous books. He could talk about a little bit of everything, but he was not very knowledgeable. But when he really showed his ability on the spot, it far exceeded his expectations!
With this ten-breath limit, the group of teenagers were naturally in an uproar. When they received the sign, they were already looking around and asking loudly. Some smart people went directly to the Baihu who gave them the sign. Xu Xun stood on the high platform.
Looking down at these shouting little guys, he secretly observed their performance, while a small flag on the side of the timer was reporting the time over and over again. As the black and strong Baihu Maqiao next to him was taller
When the number was announced, a few young men who looked like headless flies finally became anxious, randomly looking for a group of people and jumped in.
"The time has come, let's check the cards!" Among the five hundred households below, three were recommended by Xu Guangqu, Duke of Dingguo, and the other two were avant-gardes of the government army who Huitong found out that they still had two brushes.
Officer, anyway, Emperor Hongzhi allowed him to ask for personnel, equipment, etc., and he asked for them all. At this time, after a chaotic count, there were twenty-three people who were standing in the wrong line. Seeing that these people were pushed aside
Several captains escorted them forward, and Xu Xun said calmly: "Take them out of the palace. They have already been kicked off at this first level. Also, please trouble the Ministry of War and give me twenty more check boxes."
Three more soldiers."
"Sir, please give us another chance, sir!" Seeing a young man kneeling down and kowtowing repeatedly, the others also knelt down to beg for mercy as if they were waking up from a dream, but Xu Xun just shook his head at the captains. Seeing them
He went up and kicked the people up one by one, and pushed them away with curses and curses. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then shouted: "Since hundreds of households have been divided, I will issue military orders from now on.
Those who are late for the drill will receive twenty military sticks; those who are disheveled will be detained for one day; those who evade the drill will receive twenty military sticks and will be immediately expelled." Xu Xun said while looking at the dozen or so people wiping tears and being pushed around.
The young man heading outside has an extremely firm look in his eyes. As the ancients said, kindness does not lead to war. If these people beg for mercy and make an exception, it will be difficult to establish rules in the future. Now that he has been forced to go to Liangshan, now that he is standing
On the cusp of the storm, there is no room for any mistakes!@.
