Chapter 197: The direct army is bustling in the capital
After leaving Jingge, Zhao Ji was still in a good mood.
The Imperial Master was relieved.
As for the issue of voluntariness, as an emperor, he never found it difficult to ask a person to do something voluntarily.
“Think of any way to make Princess Yaoqin voluntarily marry into the Ming Dynasty.
Princess Yaoqin is now in the Ancient Tomb Sect. In terms of time, April is probably a little too late, but it doesn't matter. Zhu Houzhao will definitely not mind if it is later.
Of course, it would be better if it can be successful before April.
In short, let Princess Yaoqin participate in Zhu Houzhao's selection of concubines in April as much as possible. "Zhao Ji said solemnly.
"Yes, I will start with Princess Yaoqin's family and send messages between the two places as quickly as possible. ”
····
Among countries, there is more and more excitement surrounding Zhu Houzhao's selection of a concubine in April.
The Ming Dynasty itself is even more so.
When the matter of Emperor Shengwu breaking through the realm of heaven and man came to an end, all the topics turned to the matter of choosing a concubine after his establishment.
More and more people from the martial arts community came to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
However, in early to mid-March, the matters in the capital that the court was most concerned about were the literary and military examinations held again.
The literary and imperial examination, which was originally held once every three years, became once every three consecutive years.
The number of people admitted each time is far higher than before.
But no one dared to object.
First, the court captured too many officials too quickly, and the court needed more new officials.
Secondly, I don’t want to offend His Majesty and all the Ming emperors for this.
In the annual imperial examination, the Ming Dynasty examiners were the happiest people, and anyone who opposed it was considered their enemy.
Needless to say, the military imperial examination has been confirmed to be held every year.
The Ming Dynasty needs more civilians in the military.
March 11th.
Accompanied by Gu Xichao, Zhu Houzhao once again came to the increasingly complete military academy.
Last year, Gu Xichao suggested that all former instructors of the new army be summoned to the military academy for retraining.
Zhu Houzhao agreed and handed over the matter to Gu Xichao.
Gu Xichao acted very quickly, taking one or two months to prepare, and the class officially started on December 10th.
It is exactly three months now.
Zhu Houzhao came here to give some encouragement and instructions to the more than 500 retrained instructors, which were similar to the first batch of instructors.
Finally, Zhu Houzhao and Gu Xichao left in a warm atmosphere.
Gu Xichao said to Zhu Houzhao that among this group of instructors, the most outstanding ones could be focused on training.
Zhu Houzhao was very relieved and left it to Gu Xichao.
"Lao Gu, I am planning to establish four new armies this year, with military commanders and soldiers.
Three armies will be formed on the northern border. There are two innate realms there. A general can serve as an army commander
There is another army that I will send to Lao Wang and become Lao Wang's direct army, giving him three armies and more than 110,000 people.
With this army of more than 110,000 people, with Lao Wang’s ability, it won’t take long for most of the realms of heaven and humans to be no match.
You must cooperate well with the civilian and military personnel of these three armies to help deepen Lao Wang’s influence.
The last army will be led by Qi Jingtong from Lu region to establish a new naval army.
You must be prepared for all military and civilian aspects. "Zhu Houzhao said with some expectation.
Naturally, a general must lead an army that he is completely familiar with and close to, so that he can exert powerful combat power.
So the new army of the Ming Dynasty cannot easily change its military commanders.
This will result in the general not knowing the soldiers and the generals. Even if there is an instructor, it will have a great impact on combat effectiveness.
The same is true for the armies of all countries in the world.
If you want a general's strength to be brought out to its most perfect and peak level, it is best to build a true direct army for him.
This is definitely not good for the country.
But that’s the truth, there’s no such thing as the best of both worlds.
In the current Ming Dynasty, the only person who has the strength to allow Zhu Houzhao to build a direct army for him is Lao Wang.
At this time, Lao Wang has a clear grasp of the situation on the northern border.
The two of them worked together to organize the border troops on the northern border into three new armies this year.
Zhu Houzhao decided that one of them would be transferred to Lao Wang's command, and the two armies he brought to the border with him, a total of three armies, would be Lao Wang's direct lineage. They would grow up with Lao Wang and push their strength to the peak step by step.
In the future, Lao Wang’s influence on these three armies will definitely be greater than that of the imperial court.
Zhu Houzhao didn't care about this.
He wished that there would be more situations like this in Ming Dynasty.
Unfortunately, so far, only Lao Wang has the strength to form a direct force.
Except for Li Jing, the other army commanders have not yet seen the limit of their potential. One army is their limit.
Wu Yunzhao's future limit may reach two armies, it depends on him.
In short, there is no need for other military commanders to form direct descendants for them. That would only be more waste than gain.
Only a person like Lao Wang, who can command multiple armies, is necessary to fully display his strength.
Gu Xichao's eyes hesitated for a moment. He instinctively opposed this kind of thing that was not conducive to His Majesty's authority.
But he also knew that this was a very necessary thing and he couldn't stop it.
I can only nod my head and say: "I understand that I will ask the instructors of these three armies, as well as the civilian staff in the army, to fully cooperate with the Commander-in-Chief Wang.
Now there are a thousand people in the Ming Dynasty. Seven hundred and forty-three qualified instructors can meet the needs of the eleven new armies. In addition, after this year's military imperial examination, there will be enough instructors.
There is still a shortage of civilian personnel in the army. >
We have to wait until next year to fill all the military civilian positions for the 13 armies. "
"Well, I'm not too anxious. The new army will not be completely formed so quickly. "Zhu Houzhao nodded and said.
After talking about some military matters, Zhu Houzhao returned to the palace.
As April approached, Zhu Houzhao also became really concerned about his plans to establish a queen and choose a concubine. I became interested.
“Let’s go out of the palace and have a look. "The interest came, Zhu Houzhao said without hesitation.
He took Wei Jinzhong and several shadow eunuchs, changed his clothes and left the palace.
The destination is very clear, which are major inns, restaurants, teahouses and other places in the capital.
These are the places where the most voices gather.
"Pa~! Let's say that this Cihang Jingzhai is walking in the modern era. He is actually the most outstanding disciple of Cihang Jingzhai for hundreds of years.
He is only sixteen years old. It is the innate realm, and it is definitely not weak in the innate realm
In January, when he was just walking in the martial arts world, he defeated the notorious innate master Yellow River Dragon King with a single sword.
This Yellow River Dragon King is not simple. He is a well-known veteran innate master, but he was defeated by Cihang Jingzhai, a contemporary walking man who was only sixteen years old. After he surrendered, he was escorted to The local Jinyi Guards punished the crime. "
"Not only is the strength, this Cihang Jingzhai is walking in the modern era, and his appearance is like a fairy descending from the earth.
It is said that anyone who meets her is willing to do anything.
Wherever he goes, there is a group of people following him.
Many people have said that this Cihang Jingzhai should be ranked first on the list of fairies in modern times. "
"But what makes many heroes and princes sad is that this fairy from Cihang Jingzhai has been coming to the capital all the way, and she has never concealed her purpose. It is to participate in the ceremony of His Majesty the Emperor Shengwu. Choose a concubine.
I heard that there are countless martial arts masters and heroes who are in pain over it. "
...
The two palace masters of Yihua Palace are really going to participate in the selection of concubines. "
"I have also heard that it is said that the two palace masters of Yihua Palace are both beautiful and powerful, and they should be ranked first and second in the fairy list. "
"Shit, that's because you haven't seen Cihang Jingzhai Fairy Qin. Fairy Qin should be number one on the fairy list. "
... Fairies also have to participate in the selection of concubines? ”
"It's possible."
"The Huashan sect's people are coming soon, and I heard that Fairy Hua Zhenzhen is also among them."
"What? Even Fairy Hua is going to participate in the selection of the concubine? "?"
"I heard that the Righteous Sect should have reached a consensus. Just in case, several Righteous Fairies came to guard against the Demonic Witch.
So. Except for Fairy Qin who said it herself, the other righteous fairies may not participate in the selection of concubines.”
"Haha, you don't understand this. The right path is not only guarding against the devils and witches, but also the evil path.
If the evil path gains the power of His Majesty Emperor Shengwu, who would dare to say that they are evil path?"
····
In mid-March, the capital city was already filled with countless martial arts people from all over the world.
At this time, the results of the literary and imperial examinations have come out.
Although the results of the military imperial examination have not yet come out, the voices of these martial arts people cannot be suppressed.
The entire capital seemed to be filled with their enthusiastic discussions.
Countless news also gathered in the capital, and it was extremely lively.
Zhu Houzhao changed several places from morning to afternoon and listened with great interest.
It’s not that I’m interested in the women in those topics, but I simply like the excitement.
After listening for a while, he said with great interest: "Tell Lao Guo that the Jin Yiwei must be optimistic that so many people in the martial arts world cannot fight to avoid hurting the people."
"Yes." Wei Jinzhong responded. , a shadow eunuch has gone.
"Let's go, we are just leaving the palace. Let's go see the Imperial College." Zhu Houzhao, who was thinking about it, said again.
Take the lead and walk to the Imperial College in a swaggering manner.
That tall figure with an arrogant air and a bit of arrogance made people who saw him along the way automatically avoid him.
This kind of person looks like a powerful person at first glance. Although the powerful people in the capital are very honest and do not dare to bully the people, neither the common people nor the people in the martial arts world dare or want to offend them for no reason.
As for recognizing Zhu Houzhao's identity, even if Zhu Houzhao appeared in public, very few people could see his face clearly at that distance.
After seeing it clearly, one would not dare to believe that this arrogant figure who looked like a playboy at first glance could be His Majesty the Shengwu Emperor.
