Twenty-six pro-army guards were scattered around the capital, and it took Zhang Peng two days to select 300 of them.
The Young Army barracks is on the outskirts of the city.
Early in the morning on the third day, Zhu Jianji brought Dai Yi and six young eunuchs to the camp. Looking at the barracks that were still being repaired, he summoned Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Works in charge of the matter, and said, "We need to speed up the progress.
"
Three hundred young men lined up to greet him.
Zhu Jianji waved his hand, "Everyone, get up."
Zhang Peng walked up to Zhu Jianji and said, "Your Highness, would you like to say a few words?"
He was actually very confused.
What can a small army of three hundred people do?
Zhu Jianji coughed, lowered his voice, looked at the young faces, and said loudly: "Being selected into the young army is a turning point in your fate, but you should also know, and you are also wondering, His Majesty Xuanzong's
There are 10,000 people in the young army. Why are there only 300 people here? The reason is that Rong Gu will give it a try. You will know it later, but I can tell you one thing clearly. If my goal is achieved,
The guards present, if you can survive the fight, you will all become generals!"
Once you have rifles and the country's economy develops, you will have to equip them all when you ascend the throne. By then, the survivors among the three hundred people will all be generals.
The eyes of three hundred young people brightened, and they saw hope.
Zhu Jianji continued: "We are still equipping you with weapons these days, but you don't have to wait any longer. We train your physical strength and fighting skills in accordance with the rules and procedures every day. I hope that you will not only become a new generation of soldiers, but also be able to catch a sword on the battlefield."
Each of the traditional pawns fighting each other can play his own role!"
Before the rifles come out, get a batch of muskets for the young army to practice with.
Everyone responded in unison: "I will live up to His Highness's expectations!"
Apparently Zhang Peng taught etiquette.
Zhu Jianji nodded and asked Zhang Peng next to him, "Among these people, are there any particularly famous people? Is there any such thing as a king of soldiers?"
Zhang Peng shook his head, "No."
Zhu Jianji thought for a while and said loudly: "The young army has been rebuilt, and there is no establishment. After ten days, the assessment will be conducted, and three hundred households will be selected. You will practice diligently. Whether you can stand out or not is in your own hands."
He added: "The barracks are still being rebuilt and repaired. You can do your best besides training."
Everyone obeyed.
Zhu Jianji signaled to return to the East Palace.
Returning to the Wenhua Hall, Zhu Jianji said to Zhang Peng: "Mr. Zhang, I might ask you to contact the Ministry of Industry to purchase three hundred sets of armor, swords and three-eyed fire guns."
It's considered a good job, and Zhang Peng can get kickbacks.
Zhang Peng smiled and said: "Wei Chen is a civil servant."
There should be less involvement in the military.
Zhu Jianji sincerely felt that he, as an imperial master, was excellent and knew what to do.
It's not hard to do anything.
In the afternoon, go to the Ministry of Industry and discuss the price with Shangshu Jiang Yuan.
If I had known earlier, I would still have to go to the Ministry of Industry. At the meeting, I should have asked the Ministry of Industry to directly allocate the corresponding ordnance.
It makes me so embarrassed now.
I went to see Jiang Yuan in the afternoon. This time, the old slicker didn't do anything perfunctory, but he didn't generously allocate three hundred units. Instead, he said that since the Ministry of Household Affairs had allocated funds, His Highness would give the cost price.
It is true that Zhu Jianji was not cheated.
A set of armor costs four taels, a sword costs two hundred and fifty cents, and a fire gun costs one tael.
Delivered to the military camp the next day.
Zhu Jianji went to Taipu Temple again.
How dare you offend the prince, the Minister of Taipu Temple agreed to equip the young army with 300 war horses at the price of fifty taels a piece, which will be delivered to the military camp in half a month.
The matter of Youjun is resolved.
As for whether they can meet his expectations, Zhu Jianji has no idea.
Ten days later, the young army will be selected.
Three hundred households were selected and named Chen Qi, Zhao Er and Li Jiu.
It is not difficult to tell from their names that they all come from the lowest level of common people.
The three men each commanded ninety-nine people and practiced day and night.
…
…
Mid-Autumn Festival.
Family reunion.
In the Qianqing Hall, Zhu Qiyu, Zhu Jianji, Queen Hang, Bai Li, Tang Guifei, Li Xier and others gathered together. Xing'an cut the moon cakes and presented them to him. Bai Li, who was sitting side by side with Zhu Jianji, picked up a piece and gave it to Zhu Jianji's plate, "Jian Brother Ji, you eat."
Zhu Jianji: "..."
Come on.
Anyway, he treats her as a sister.
The family happily enjoyed the song and dance. Liu Yongcheng, the eunuch of the Royal Horse Guards, suddenly entered the palace and whispered a few words in Zhu Qiyu's ear. Zhu Qiyu slammed the table and became furious, "What kind of rebellion is Fang Yingping!"
Everyone except Zhu Jianji was shocked.
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said, "The prince will stay, and the rest will leave."
After the others retreated, Zhu Jianji asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "The Miao people in Huguang have rebelled again!"
Zhu Jianji's heart suddenly moved, "Have Bai Gui and Zhu Yong sent Zhangzhe?"
Zhu Qiyu shook his head.
Zhu Jianji was happy, "That's strange. The Miao people rebelled, and even the official envoys didn't know the news——"
Zhu Qiyu interrupted him, "The military report is eight hundred miles away, and it came from Zhu Yong."
Zhu Jianji's eyes lit up and he quickly made a decision, "Send someone to quell the rebellion!"
Zhu Qiyu said with a headache: "We will decide who will go after the small court meeting tomorrow."
Zhu Jianji lowered his voice, "Old Zhu, don't you think it's strange? Fang Ying just returned from suppressing the rebellion, but the Miao people rebelled again. I think someone wants to lure the tiger away from the mountain."
Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a moment, "Anyone else wants to rebel?"
Zhu Jianji chuckled, "Lu Zhong didn't give you any news?"
Zhu Qiyu shook his head.
Zhu Jianji: "..."
After all, you are in control of the Jinyi Guards. Don't you monitor the courtiers? Fortunately, you have been on guard. Zhu Xiang's Gongzhao Tiqi has been closely monitoring Chen You, Shen Yu, Liang Yue and Fang Ying.
Don't let the signs be too obvious. These days, Chen You, Liang Yue, Shen Yu and Fang Ying seem to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, making constant moves and even sending people to the northern border towns and Sichuan.
Zhu Qiyu suddenly woke up and said, "You know?"
It's also strange.
Shi Heng rebelled, and his son was uncertain.
Now the Miao people in Huguang are rebelling again, and my son seems to be uncertain.
Zhu Jianji did not answer, but asked: "Old Zhu, if someone wants to support the emperor's restoration this time, after our father and son smash their conspiracy, I want to kill Baozong, will you stop me?"
Zhu Qiyu was silent for a while, "I have done my best to be benevolent and righteous."
If anyone still wants to rebel...
Then the only option is to kill!
This was what Zhu Jianji was waiting for. He laughed and said, "That's enough, Lao Zhu. After the meeting tomorrow, just send the regiment and battalion out to suppress the rebellion, and leave the rest to me!"
Since someone wants to lure the tiger away from the mountain, then I will make a plan.
This time, Baozong will definitely die.
Zhu Qiyu hesitated, "Leave it all to you?"
Zhu Jianji said: "Well, in addition, as a friendly reminder, if I guess correctly, I will get a military report from the border tomorrow. The Mobei cavalry is knocking at the pass. The troops are tight. Please send troops to support the imperial court."
Zhu Qiyu suddenly realized, "They still want to transfer the 26th Guards of the pro-army army?"
Zhu Jianji nodded, "There will definitely be mob unrest in other places recently. After the regiment camp and the 26th Guards of the Pro-Army Army are mobilized, some people may even propose to mobilize some troops from the Fourth Guards of Tengxiang Wuxiang to quell the rebellion!"
Do you really think that the imperial guards in uniforms in the Gongzhao Institute are doing their job?
It's all under your control!
Finally waited until they rebelled.
very good.
This time, I want to be the most violent prince in history! This chapter has been completed!
