Chapter 159 Marshal Zhu orders troops

With Huang Jinzhen’s support and endorsement, Marshal Zhu San makes his debut!

From this moment on, both those who knew Zhu Zaijing’s identity and those who did not know Zhu Zaijing’s identity for the time being were all referred to as “marshal”.

As the newly appointed general marshal of the army in the suburbs of Beijing, Zhu Zaijing was not polite. He directly took Huang Jin, Lu Yi and others and convened a new military meeting.

The newly arrived admiral eunuchs from the three battalions of the front camp, rear camp, and warrior camp, as well as officers with more than a thousand households, also arrived in front of Zhu Zaijing to wait for orders.

These people looked at Zhu Zaijing next to Huang Jin. They were surprised and at the same time admired the power of this young general.

On the way here, they all learned about the achievements of Marshal Zhu San one after another. After arriving at Qingshuitan, they met the brothers from the original Fourth Guard Battalion and confirmed to each other that they I was also completely convinced.

No one will ever question why "Zhu San", with his small position as a battalion officer, became the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Battalion of the Royal Horse Guards and the controlling power of the troops in the suburbs of Beijing.

Because "Zhu San" has a solid record!

These achievements are their capital, who dares to question their ability anymore?

What's more, Huang Jin is still standing next to him, and he is still willing to take the lead. Why are they psychologically unbalanced?

So after seeing Zhu Zaijing, everyone respectfully bowed to him with a military salute: "I humbly pay homage to the commander-in-chief!"

Zhu Zaijing listened to the crowd's praise of his commander-in-chief. He couldn't help but feel a little carried away by the title. He never dreamed that one day he would become the commander-in-chief of an army.

This is really an unpredictable life, the big intestine wraps up the small intestine.

Zhu Zaijing cleared his throat and replied in a loud voice: "Everyone, please get up."

Zhu Zaijing's resonant voice also shocked these people, and they suddenly realized that the commander in front of them was indeed not a creature in the pool, otherwise how could this voice be so powerful!

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!"

Everyone stood up to bow to him again and stood on both sides.

Zhu Zaijing looked at these people and stopped talking nonsense. Zhu Zaijing said straight to the point: "Your Majesty has ordered me to control the fourth battalion of the Royal Horse Supervisor and As soon as there are soldiers and horses in the suburbs of Beijing, I have the emperor's mandate, so I won't be pretentious with everyone."

"Since we stand together, our honor and disgrace are tied together at this moment. . Let me start with my ugly words. From now on, anyone who disobeys my orders, regardless of their status, will be punished by military law. Do you understand? ?”

After everyone heard Zhu Zaijing's words, they couldn't help but tremble in their hearts. At the same time, they couldn't help but glance at Huang Jin who was standing aside. Huang Jin immediately reacted and took the lead: "I understand, I understand!"

Everyone was waiting to see Huang Jin bowing his head to Zhu Zaijing so honestly. They didn't dare to have any intention of him anymore, and they all replied in unison: "I understand, I understand!"

Zhu Zai A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Very good, I hope you can really remember my words. I don't want to kill one of you because of these things before going to the battlefield. And I am also a reasonable person. People, as long as you act in accordance with my command and generals, I will not take any credit from you. I will report everything to your majesty truthfully and ask for the hereditary title of Yinzi for you! Eunuch Jin has witnessed that if you violate this statement, I will share the table with you."

After that, Zhu Zaijing took out the saber from his waist and neatly chopped off a corner of the wooden table on the side with one sharp move. .

This arm strength and strength alone shocked everyone. They are not fools. They can cut off such a thick table corner with one knife. They have no real ability. That is absolutely impossible. Impossible.

So after everyone heard Zhu Zaijing's promise of credit, they all became excited again. Isn't it just for this kind of credit that they go through life and death outside? Although many of them are eunuchs, it does not mean that they are really alone. They also have their own families and nephews.

If they can really strive for the hereditary merit of a shadow son, they can justly adopt a nephew within the clan to inherit the merit title as their own son. This is also a very tempting reward for them. , not least giving them a chance to start a new life. "I will definitely live up to the commander-in-chief's orders by being humble, and I am willing to go through fire and water for the commander-in-chief!"

Everyone once again guaranteed their loyalty to Zhu Zaijing.

Zhu Zaijing looked at the people who had become honest and put away his saber.

Zhu Zaijing asked loudly: "Where is the admiral of the front camp?"

The eunuch of the front camp bowed and bowed: "I am here."

Zhu Zaijing asked: "Report to the front camp. Troops and firearms configuration. "

The eunuch in charge of the front camp replied: "The front camp has a strength of six thousand men, one thousand cavalry, three thousand firearms, and two thousand infantry. Four hundred vehicles and fifty portable artillery pieces of all kinds!"

Zhu Zaijing nodded and said, "Where is the commander of the rear camp? "

The eunuch superintendent of the rear camp came out and replied: "The rear camp has a strength of 6,000 men, 500 cavalry, 3,000 firearms soldiers, 2,500 infantry, 300 horse chariots, 3,000 muskets, and 3 portable artillery pieces. Ten gates!”

Finally, Zhu Zaijing asked about the warrior camp again.

"Where is the Admiral of the Warrior Battalion? Report the strength and firearms configuration of the Warrior Battalion!"

The eunuch, the Admiral of the Warrior Battalion, came out and said: "The Warrior Battalion has a capacity of 6,000 people, 2,000 cavalry, and firearms. There are two thousand soldiers, two thousand infantry, two thousand muskets, and two hundred tiger squatting cannons, which are the same as those of the Fourth Guards Battalion."

After Zhu Zaijing heard the reports from the three battalions, he He couldn't help but secretly marvel at the strength of this horse supervisor. It turned out to be so powerful.

Of course, the reason why the Yumajian can be so arrogant is because after the Tumubao Incident, the Yumajian has proven himself with his strength and has become the main force in defending the capital. This has also made subsequent Ming emperors realize the importance of the Yumajian.

So in the next hundred years, although the customization of Yumajian has changed several times, his strength has always been strong, in order to allow Yumajian to withstand the main beam at critical moments!

Zhu Zaijing took a deep breath and began to order: "The front camp, the rear camp, and the warrior camp cavalry will all be handed over to Teng Xiang. The firearms troops will cooperate with the infantry." Zhu Zaijing looked around. , the last sight fell on the eunuch of the Warrior Camp, "It is led by the eunuch of the Warrior Camp, assisted by the admiral eunuchs of the front camp and the rear camp, and Meng Chong is the eunuch who supervises the army."

The eunuch of the Warrior Camp was excited. Worship, the other two battalion admiral eunuchs also followed suit, "I humbly accept my order!"

Zhu Zaijing said to Meng Chong next to him: "This time you are ordered to be the supervisor, you must understand You must not interfere with your own responsibilities in terms of military command. You are only responsible for the execution of orders in the military.”

Meng Chong bowed excitedly: "I understand!"

Zhu Zaijing looked at the people who had already accepted the order and began to assign tasks again. Zhu Zaijing said: "Half of the artillery brought by each battalion is divided. Leave it to Lu Yi, who will take it back to Chaobai River to defend the front line. The remaining artillery will be held by the headquarters and will be dispatched by the commander of the Warrior Battalion. "

"Time is running out, so the generals will take action immediately and deploy their troops and firearms according to my command. The orders are in place. Except for the cavalry, all the remaining troops will be led by the commander of the Warrior Battalion to the west line of Miyun. They will rely on the terrain to hold on to the main road. Don't let the bandits break through to the west and harass the Changping Imperial Tomb! All are unpardonable crimes of death!"

Everyone bowed in unison: "I humbly accept my order!"
