Wang Shouren really felt that Xu Xun was crazy. How could such a character who was hated by people and hated by dogs be recruited into the army?
When Xu Xun said in an understatement that he would take advantage of the fifteen days of rest for the young army to select officers from these hundreds of families, and then drag them to the Xiyuan inner-camp to practice first, he finally realized what he was doing.
Even so, he still didn't believe that Xu Xun could correct these pampered nobles. You know, even though most of the 500 young soldiers in those three months had a poor background, they could get sick from the cold wind on their soles.
There are still a lot of them, not to mention these young men from aristocratic families who have never suffered any hardships?
"In short, Brother Wang, just supervise the selection of the young army. I will take care of these people.
This time is different from the five hundred before. As long as the people are strong and strong, the fact that Emperor Xiyuan personally reviewed the young army and bestowed them with the title of prince must have spread. Now there are many soldiers in the vanguard of the imperial army.
The sweet and savory ones in Yu's eyes must be strictly controlled, and they must not be allowed to be used indiscriminately, otherwise they will be eliminated in a big way, and the Ministry of War and Household Affairs will have something to say, and these will fall on you, the head of the Ministry of War.
As for the generals, just rest assured, although those four have extraordinary backgrounds, the others were selected based on their true abilities, especially the one in blue shirt."
Xu Xun pointed at Qian Ning, who was carrying a big bow on his back, and then smiled slightly and said: "This person is the one I bumped into by chance. Not only can he shoot a strong bow with a stone and a half, but he can also shoot the bow left and right, and his shooting skills are excellent! When the time comes,
If his performance is good, I am going to use Maqiao as the agent for Zuo Qianhu, the first hundred households of the left camp, and I will use him as the agent of the right thousand households for the first hundred households of the right camp."
Wang Shouren was first interested because Xu Xun praised Qian Ning's shooting skills, but then he was dumbfounded by the meaning of Xu Xun's words. It was an expedient measure to use hundreds of households to act as agents for thousands of households, and Ma Qiao
He admired this man. He was diligent and honest, and never slacked off. As for Qian Ning, if he really had the ability to play both sides, it would be a good idea to act as an agent for You Qianhu. However, after thinking about it, he asked: "Thank you for thinking about it."
Come out! But with this kind of treatment, aren't you afraid that those young masters will be subordinate to others and make trouble?" Faced with Wang Shouren's question, Xu Xun certainly would not explain that this was the inspiration for the military training company commander to concurrently serve as the platoon commander in later generations. More importantly, he
The two thousand people he had formed by himself did not want to casually put two thousand foreign households on their heads, causing these people to lose their ambition. As for Qian Ning, he was specially used to deal with those young soldiers.
of.
It would be a pity if God took the initiative to send such a person to him without using him!
"Don't worry, my king is in charge. I'm not as honest as you. Mountain people have their own tricks." When Xu Xun exposed his old story again, Wang Shouren became angry and said angrily: "You still dare to say that? If you hadn't been fooling me all the time.
, why have I not recognized His Highness the Crown Prince in the past three months? Well, these young masters and soldiers are all under your control. I don’t want to be harassed by the old men in the military department, and I don’t want to be subject to their idleness in the army.
!You pick people here, I’ll go back to the Ministry of War to look at the list of military personnel, so that no one will be fooled.” As he said this, he walked out without looking back, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped: “Say
To be honest, I would rather be busy during those three months in Xiyuan than compete with those old and young adults in the Yamen!" Seeing Wang Shouren disappear outside the door, Xu Xun couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
The officialdom is originally a place where the spirit of young people is eroded. Those who are slippery and good at changing their personalities always rise to high positions, while those who are too angular can be in high positions for a while with the help of the Holy Family, but after a long time, they will not end up.
Got it. Although Wang Shouren failed for the second time and failed to win the election of a concubine, he was not very proud in the officialdom for a while, but he is such a strong person in his heart after all!
Unlike the first batch where time was tight and the five hundred households had no choice, this time Xu Xun was really selective. Look at martial arts, literacy and temperament. After the martial arts queue, he even imitated the interviews of later generations and did not hesitate to waste time.
One by one, they asked people to come in for interviews and learn more about these future subordinates from their daily routine. In the eyes of the cunning old masters Ye Guang and Li Yifeng, they secretly admired them, but four of them were fake.
The performance of the replacement noble master was different.
Zhang Zongshuo and Xu Yanche were both yawning uncontrollably. Qi Jiliang tried his best to cheer up, but he couldn't understand Xu Xun's intention. Only Wang Shikun's small eyes flickered. After the last person went out, Xu Xun directly
A list was handed to Ye Guang in one fell swoop. When he heard the names of the four people selected today, his heart immediately became clear.
These four people all have one thing in common, that is, they do not have seven aunts or eight aunts, and their family background is simple, but they are all eldest brothers, but they have several younger brothers and sisters. In other words, they are good at taking care of children, but they are not sociable in people.
A proficient and honest man. Xu Xun is really getting more and more sophisticated!
For Zhu Houzhao, in the past three months, although he had to go to the Wenhua Hall to ascend the throne on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, he reluctantly watched the officials of the East Palace kowtow to him, and even though he had to go to the Wenhua Hall every morning to listen to the same lectures,
But every afternoon was extremely pleasant. I went to Xiyuan to watch the army drill, learned archery from Wang Shouren or competed with Xu Xun, and listened to the two chatting about the art of war and geography. Xu Xun would often talk about the wild places in the west.
Interesting stories about the country, the originally extremely slow days passed by in a flash. Now that the young soldiers' half-month vacation has just begun, he can't stand it anymore.
"Boring as hell!"
Seeing Zhu Houzhao throwing a book on the ground, he suddenly lay on his back on the soft couch. None of the eunuchs serving in the Nuan Pavilion dared to say a word, even though this was the fifth time in one day. Zhang
Yongqian tried to comfort him once, but what he got in return was a vicious eye roll from the prince, and he was a little helpless for a while: Gu Dayong also used leaving the palace as a bait, but Donggong didn't want to watch the show either.
When shopping, he didn't dare to take people to the brothel Chu Pavilion, so he had to retreat in frustration: As for Ma Yongcheng and others, let alone Zhu Houzhao, who is not even interested in his favorite things such as juggling and breathing fire, what else can they do?
"Your Highness, Your Highness!" After hearing these calls, Zhu Houzhao didn't even bother to move his fingers. He just lay there and asked lazily: "Where did you go to come back now?"
It was Liu Jin who trotted in. He didn't seem to see the angry looks of his colleagues. He ran to the soft couch and knelt down on one knee with a smile on his face. He said with a smile: "Your Highness, I just inquired about a good person."
News! It is said that Mr. Xu has just made a news, saying that all the required officers have been selected. Since the outer campus belongs to each guard, it is difficult to occupy it, so please temporarily use the inner campus of Xiyuan for half a month to practice these officers.
The officer and the Supervisor of Ceremonies, Eunuch Xiao, said that the memorial will be sent to the imperial court in the evening!" As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Jin saw Zhu Houzhao sitting up like a carp tinking, his face full of excitement, and he mysteriously said
Said: "Your Highness, do you know who among these hundreds of households? Hey, there are actually four young masters that no one would have thought of! The first one is Shouning Hou's crown prince, the second is the second son of Ding Guo Gong, and the third is Wei Guo Gong's.
The brother-in-law is the Wang Shikun we have met... As for the fourth one, your Highness, you can’t guess it no matter how you keep it!"
Zhu Houzhao was very interested in being teased by Liu Jin. He immediately tilted his head and thought carefully. Finally, he slapped his thighs and said, "Xu Xun is the most cunning guy. He won't bring that Qi Jiliang here too?"
Liu Jinyuan also wanted to trick Zhu Houzhao into making him happy, but he didn't expect this master to have such rich associations. He almost stared out of his eyes: "Your Highness, how did you know?" "Of course, I don't want to think about the wisdom of this prince.
Is Shenwu a perfect strategy?" Zhu Houzhao, who was so proud of himself, couldn't bear it anymore. He pulled his shoes to the ground and repeatedly ordered people to dress him. Finally, he hurried out and said, "Go to the Supervisor of Ceremonies and find someone.
The clerk hurriedly sent the memorial to the emperor. I have to go to the emperor to tell him about it. If I am idle like this any longer, my bones will be frightened!" Zhu Houzhao said it, and Emperor Hongzhi knew that Xu Xun had mentioned the four origins in one breath.
Hundreds of dignitaries were selected and willing to help, so they half-pushed and half-heartedly allowed Xu Xun to drag these people into the school grounds in Xiyuan. However, the place where 500 people used to train was now occupied by the number 15 people.
, plus the five instructors from Maqiao who were dragged in after three days off, naturally seemed sparse and lackluster.
Especially when Xu Xun left a group of people waiting for an entire hour, someone finally couldn't hold it any longer.
As Xu Xun expected, although the crowd was shaky, the first one to attack was Zhang Zongshuo, the eldest son of Shouning Hou. The eldest son rushed over angrily, his face flushed and he shouted: "
This station is useless, what kind of military training is this! I am a hundred households, not those military households, why do I practice these boring things, 1, I quit!" Seeing Zhang Zong said, he turned around angrily and left.
Xu Xun, who was also standing, said calmly: "Come as soon as you want, leave as soon as you want, what kind of place do you think this is?"
"Why, do you still dare to stop me?... Shouning Hou Zhang Heling is the most domineering and domineering person outside. Zhang Zong said that he is afraid of his father's majesty at home, but of course he has a different face outside. At this time, Huo Ran turned around and pointed
He touched Xu Xun's nose and cursed, "The worst I can do is go to the Queen's aunt to beg for mercy. I don't believe that I can't go even if I come! Don't think that you are on good terms with His Highness the Crown Prince just because you are acting like an adult in front of me. I still
Where is His Highness the Crown Prince's cousin! Who do you think you are!" "This Crown Prince is so embarrassed to have such a worthless cousin like you!" Seeing the eunuch who had just arrived quietly but was hiding behind the eunuchs who were watching the fun.
Zhu Houzhao finally showed up angrily. Xu Xun couldn't help but smile, and then he had to pretend to salute: "I'm here to see His Highness the Crown Prince...,..." "No need to do that!"
When Zhu Houzhao saw Zhang Zongyuan, he turned around and saw himself. He immediately felt as if he had seen a ghost. He shouted angrily, "Xu Xun, I remember that you, the avant-garde of the army, have military regulations. You will be punished for being lazy in training...well, it's a military stick."
