Chapter 138 Six Armies
Li Jing has a resolute and resolute temper, not to mention Zhu Houzhao.
He wished that Li Jing would bring out the First Army immediately.
Han Shizhong's four men and three hundred Emperor Wu's dragon knights arrived the next day.
Zhu Houzhao's imperial edict was also officially issued.
Li Jing was appointed as the commander of the Ming Dynasty's new army and the 001 army, ranking second.
Ming Junge fully assisted Li Jing in establishing the Zero and One Army.
The imperial edict was issued, and the civil and military officials in the court were in a state of excitement.
From the second level!
Build a new army!
This is simply more favoring than Gu Xichao!
This new army in particular made many people frown, especially those nobles.
Some people thought of Wang Shouren from Jin.
Wang Shouren abolished the guard system in Jin and adopted a recruitment system, which also caused an uproar in the court.
It’s just that the military and political affairs are separated, and civilian officials are not qualified to control it, and they don’t dare to control it.
Not to mention the generals, they are even less courageous.
They only dare to mutter and fool around in secret. I feel that Your Majesty would rather trust an outsider than one of your own, which is very aggrieved.
Of course, no one dared to say anything.
For the nobles, the most important thing now is to train the next generation.
Just as His Majesty scolded them, their generation is useless and cannot be saved.
But the next generation can still be saved.
Hundreds of noble disciples have joined Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry, some of them have gone to Shanxi, and some have gone to Yunnan.
They know very well that these hundreds of people are the future of Xungui.
The foundation of Ming Dynasty is still them.
So even if they were wronged, they could endure it and cooperated obediently with His Majesty's tossing.
When the honorable nobles calm down, Li Jing's establishment of the First Army will naturally be smoother and faster.
Enlisted soldiers are exempted from corvee for their whole families and are paid fifteen taels of silver every year.
Such a good thing that had never been heard of before made Beizhili, centered in the capital, almost excited.
There are countless people signing up to join the army.
Li Jing, who suddenly attracted the attention of both the government and the public, was very calm. He did not immediately recruit an army of nearly 30,000 people.
Instead, they only recruited three thousand people, three thousand young people with clean net worth and good health, all between fifteen and twenty years old.
Hearing the news, Zhu Houzhao was startled and didn't understand.
This is a bit slow.
Not understanding, he went directly to ask Li Jing himself.
Li Jing said calmly: "Your Majesty, I only have more than 300 people. If we recruit nearly 30,000 people in one fell swoop, I'm afraid it will be difficult to penetrate deeply into the First Army according to the 24 disciplines of the Ming Army.< br>
Therefore, I only recruited 3,000 people and worked step by step to lay a solid foundation.
After these three thousand people are trained, it is time to recruit the full First Army in one fell swoop.
Your Majesty, everything is about the foundation. This thoughtful new army must pay more attention to the foundation. ”
Zhu Houzhao thought about it seriously, and then he was persuaded to let Li Jing go ahead and do it.
After returning to the palace, he sent all Li Jing’s words to Wang Shouren.
In the land of Jin.
Wang Shouren usually knows about things in the capital as soon as possible.
After learning that Li Jing was appointed by His Majesty as the military commander of the First Army, Wang Shouren understood.
Your Majesty has gained a great talent.
He was only happy about this.
The only thing I am a little worried about is that Li Jing should not disappoint His Majesty.
After reading what Li Jing told His Majesty that day about his views on Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry, he no longer worried.
On the contrary, he laughed three times, Li Jing must be a great talent.
Subsequently, I saw that Jingcheng had made it clear that it would establish a first army.
Wang Shouren no longer had any cover-up. The nearly 150,000 troops that had been initially streamlined and reorganized in the past few months were divided by him into five armies.
One army guards the territory of Jin, and the responsibility of the four armies is to guard the borders.
Of the five armies, the most troublesome thing for Wang Shouren was the choice of army commander.
According to his discussion with His Majesty, the military commander should have the strength of the innate realm.
Only by reaching the innate realm and being able to comprehend the power of heaven and earth can one utilize military power and become a qualified military commander.
For such an army commander to lead an elite army that gathers military strength, any strong man at the grand master level must take a detour.
Even if he only leads one guard, he must have at least the strength of an ordinary grand master.
You can truly defend a province.
Unfortunately, there are too few such qualified military commanders.
It is not just a matter of personal strength in the innate realm, but also a matter of military ability, martial arts will suitable for the army, and the ability to integrate with the military strength of the soldiers.
Most people in the martial arts world cannot do this because their martial arts will is not in the army and cannot be integrated with the military strength in the army. Instead, they will be suppressed.
Even for people like Xiong Kuohai and Wu Tianxi, their martial arts will is suitable for the army and they can be fierce generals who charge into battle.
But it is impossible for them to lead an army now. If you don't have the ability to lead an army of nearly 30,000 people, how can you integrate and control the strength of an army?
Wang Shouren had a lot of plans at this time, and only four people were initially qualified.
Wu Yunzhao, Wang Dao, the former commander-in-chief of the border army who had just broken through, was a Zhou Shanmin who was the former leader of Jindao Village.
There is also Gu Xichao, who has never reached a high-level position in the military, but is indeed a genius and meets the requirements.
And Gu Xichao is the left minister of the Ministry of Justice, so it is impossible for him to be a military commander.
That leaves only three.
With no other choice, after careful examination, Wang Shouren selected two distinguished disciples from Dragon Riders.
It wasn't Wang Shouren's intention, but these two noble disciples were the first to join the Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry. After several years, their abilities were still quite good, and they had reached the peak of the acquired world.
They are the two most suitable people who have the hope of breaking through to the innate realm.
Five army commanders were selected, and the 10th to 14th armies were officially announced by Wang Shouren and established.
Compared to the First Army, Li Jing had to lay a solid foundation and do it step by step.
The soldiers from the Tenth Army to the Fourteenth Army were mainly from the original guards and border troops in Shanxi. Later, they were joined by some martial arts people, some clean bandits, and the part of the slave slaves led by Wang Shouren. .
The soldiers are a mixed bag and cannot be taken step by step.
We can only treat these five armies as a big oven, constantly smelting and tempering.
The army-wide training of the five armies continues and becomes more complete.
Zhu Houzhao received the situation of the Jin army immediately.
For Lao Wang, he has always had an unreasonable trust.
Well, it’s not reasonable, just based on feeling.
Until now, his feelings have not deceived him, and are getting more and more accurate.
Zhu Houzhao was only happy to see that the establishment of the six armies was on the right track.
Now there are only six. In the future, there will be twenty, fifty, or one hundred.
At that time, it will be time for him to send troops to dominate the world.
In mid-October, the factory guard team finally returned to the capital.
Various handovers unfold.
Zhu Houzhao met Cao Zhengchun, who had been separated for more than half a year, and Yan Nantian, who had been separated for more than a year.
"Your Majesty, I miss you so much. I miss you day and night without you.
I'm just worried that Your Majesty you won't be able to eat or sleep well.
< br>I never want to be away from you for such a long time.”
At the gate of Qianqing Palace, everyone saluted immediately when they saw Zhu Houzhao who couldn't help but come out.
After Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and told them not to be polite, Cao Zhengchun said sincerely and shed tears.
I don’t care at all about the Grand Master’s face or the presence of other people in the field.
Those strange eyes, in his opinion, were all envy and jealousy.
"Okay, okay, how old are you still crying? I'm very fine. How about Ercao accompanying you? Is it hurt?" When Zhu Houzhao heard this, his heart felt warm and close to him. road.
"I couldn't help but cry because I was so happy to see Your Majesty. Your Majesty's health is my greatest wish.
Thank you for your concern. I am doing very well. All those rebellious officials and traitors are gone. I'm so vulnerable that I can't do anything about this old slave." Cao Zhengchun immediately wiped his tears, his round face smiling like a chrysanthemum.
Liu Jin, Cao Youxiang and others glared at Cao Zhengchun.
Zhu Ye, Guo Bujing, Yan Nantian and others lowered their eyes slightly, not wanting to look.
"Haha, it's okay." Zhu Houzhao smiled happily, then looked at the others and asked, "Are you all okay? If something happens, say it immediately."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine." Guo Bujing and others said in unison.
Although this operation is large, the imperial court has almost absolute high-level power.
For example, if you directly use a grand master to fight against the innate peak, you will not be evenly matched anyway, but will use the strong to defeat the weak.
So none of them were hurt.
"It's good that everything is fine." Zhu Houzhao laughed a few times happily, took two steps forward, looked at Zhu Ye and said, "Uncle, your strength has increased a lot."
"Rely on His Majesty's trust." Zhu Ye said truthfully with a smile.
As the dark night incarnation of Zhu Houzhao, he has gained great trust. In the past year, his strength has been improving rapidly.
He is confident that he will be able to reach the ultimate state of the Grand Master.
"Hahaha, that's also your own ability, uncle." Zhu Houzhao laughed happily.
Looking at Yan Nantian again, his eyes lit up, he slapped Yan Nantian on his broad shoulder, and said happily: "Old Yan, you have almost reached your innate peak! How did you become so fast? ”
Yan Nantian's body like an iron tower was shaken by this slap, and his face turned red. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, but his heart was extremely warm. He said with a smile: "Thanks to your Majesty's great blessing, Longzhu has been helping me in the past few months. Only with such diligence."
"Hahaha, Lao Yan, I just like to hear you tell the truth," Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.
Yan Nantian smiled heartily, he never flattered, but this time he meant it from his heart.
"Old Zhao, you are far behind Lao Yan now." Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhao Zheng next to him and ridiculed without hesitation.
"I will definitely work hard." Zhao Zhengzi didn't care and smiled quickly.
"Xiao Qinzi, you have a lot of murderous aura in you."
····
"Lao Guo, I know everything about you. You are worthy of being a great hero Guo."
...
···
Zhu Houzhao had not seen these people for at least half a year, but he did not feel strange at all. On the contrary, he only felt more cordial to these people in front of him.
Because these are all people who sincerely work for Daming and him.
