Wei Liangchen thought that Zhang Hu wanted to enter the Imperial Horse Prison.

Zhang Hu was originally a person in the palace, but he followed Gao Huai to Liaodong to become the commander of the Flying Tiger Army. Now that Gao Huai has fallen, he wants to return to the palace, and it is not too much to seek a ministry in the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

After all, after leading soldiers for a long time, it is inevitable that they have some feelings for this "profession". And in the palace, there is no other place to meet Zhang Hu's conditions except for the Imperial Horse Supervisor. The War Bureau is also related to military affairs, but it is mainly based on manufacturing, rather than directly leading the army and managing the army like the Imperial Horse Warden.

If people do not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed.

Zhang Hu has been with Gao Huai for ten years, and now the situation is not good, and it is normal for him to plan a way back for himself.

Liangchen didn't think that this condition was inappropriate, he considered the possibility of this condition, Wanli is not the kind of person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, Gao Huai has too much focus, the firepower of the foreign dynasty is concentrated on him, and the spearhead of Guan Bian is also aimed at him, so even if Wanli is the emperor, he has to sacrifice Gao Huai to give an explanation to the foreign court. But Gao Huai's subordinates, Liangchen thought that Wanli would be able to withstand the pressure as long as he was willing.

As long as Zhang Hu gets a part-time job in the Imperial Horse Supervisor, he and his tax soldiers can listen to Wei Liangchen, no matter how you look at it, it is also a very cost-effective deal.

Liangchen was ready to agree, and he had great confidence in convincing Wanli.

If Zhang Hu is from a foreign court, and the good minister says good things for him, I am afraid that Wanli may not listen, but this Zhang Hu is a person in the inner court, and he is a person sent by Wanli.

Combined with Wanli's reuse of eunuchs and his extreme antipathy to foreign dynasties, Liangchen was sure that as long as he proposed to keep Zhang Hu's various benefits from Wanli's point of view, Wanli should not object.

In this way, he will be able to capture the Flying Tiger Army through Zhang Hu, although there are only a few hundred people left in the Flying Tiger Army now, it is better than nothing.

Liangchen wanted to take the Flying Tiger Army to Fushun, he already had the name, Wanli asked him to investigate Gao Huai's arrears and provoked the provocation, so he took the Flying Tiger Army above board. Because, this Flying Tiger Army is the party. You Nurhachi said that Gao Huai owes you money, so okay, I'll take these handlers to confront you, okay?

It's just that soon, Liangchen realized that Zhang Hu's request couldn't be fulfilled at all, and it was no longer a proper thing, but very excessive.

Because, what Zhang Hu proposed was not that he would enter the Imperial Horse Prison alone, but that he should bring hundreds of tax soldiers under him into the Imperial Horse Prison together. Of course, they didn't collectively go to the palace to be eunuchs, but wanted to get a "formation" from the imperial horse eunuch.

To be precise, Zhang Hu proposed that they must become the soldiers and horses under the supervision of the imperial horse, just like the Tengxiang Four Guards and the Warrior Battalion. If you can't form an army on your own, then merge into the Four Guards or Warrior Battalion.

Liangchen is very self-aware of this matter, and he thinks he can't do it.

The difficulty is too great, and it involves the root of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

The Imperial Horse Supervisor is the military department of the inner court, not only commanding the Tengxiang Four Guards and the Warrior Battalion, but also taking charge of the Beijing Battalion to supervise the army, and is the only military yamen among the 24 prisons.

This yamen has an important status in the inner court, and at certain times it can even compete with the celebrant eunuch, and the eunuchs sent to various places by the inner court are basically selected by the imperial horse supervisor. It can be said that at least half of the eunuchs and eunuchs of the town guard are from the imperial horse eunuchs.

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, Da Jue, who was born in the Imperial Horse Prison, was no weaker than the factory Gong of the Admiral Dongchang, such as Cao Jixiang in the Tianshun period, Wang Zhi and Liang Fang in the Chenghua period, Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong in the Zhengde period, including the Gao Qiqian of the Chongzhen Dynasty later.

The barrel of the gun comes out of the regime, and the same goes out of the big guy.

The Imperial Horse Supervisor is a place where big guys come out.

And the Tengxiang Four Guards and the Warrior Battalion under the jurisdiction of this prison are even more pro-army among the pro-army, and Zhang Hu's Flying Tiger Army wants to join, but it is difficult to climb to the sky.

The main responsibility of Tengxiang Siwei is to "change the straight", that is, to guard the imperial city.

At the beginning of this forbidden country, it was called "Yulin 3,000 households", and later, based on the 3,000 households, the Beijing army was enriched with the guards and horses of the Beijing army and the former Shenwu avant-garde officers and soldiers, and organized into the left and right guards of Tengxiang and the left and right guards of Wuxiang, collectively referred to as the "four guards".

During the Jingtai and Chenghua periods, the three major battalions of the Beijing Army were reorganized into regimental battalions. The warriors and strong banner troops of the Tengxiang Four Guards were transferred, and the warrior battalion and the Four Guards Battalion were also formed, and the battalion officers were selected from among the four guard commanders. The two battalions numbered more than 40,000 people when they were in Hongzhi and Zhengde, and after many rectifications, the quota was more than 6,500 people.

However, no matter how much the establishment of the Tengxiang Four Guards has changed over the past 200 years, what has always remained the same is that this forbidden army has always been under the command of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the foreign dynasty has not intervened at all.

If the Tengxiang Four Guards are the Imperial City Guard Army, then the Warrior Battalion is the special forces in the Forbidden Army.

The Warrior Battalion is an army established during the Yongle period, although the number is not large, only 2,000 people, but all the personnel in the battalion are Han Chinese young people who fled back from Mongolia alone.

When he was young, Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was very ambitious, dreaming of surpassing his grandfather Yongle Emperor, expanding his territory, and establishing an immortal cause. Therefore, when Wang Zhen plucked it, he went to the army in person, but in the end it ended with the annihilation of the whole army and the capture of himself, which was the "change of civil fort" that made the Ming Dynasty turn from prosperity to decline.

And when the more than 300,000 troops were defeated by thousands of people, the only one that retained the structure intact, was not scattered by the Mongols, and killed the enemy in front of it, and retreated with its whole body was this warrior battalion.

Later, the warrior battalion participated in the "Beijing Defense Battle" organized by Yu Qian and became the main force and core of the army defending the city, but unfortunately after the incident, the military department dominated by the civilian officials thought that the warrior battalion was not the regular army of the Ming Dynasty, but only the soldiers and horses led by the eunuchs in the forbidden middle school, so they did not pay attention to it, and continued to send it back to the imperial horse prison, and the treatment was also average.

When Cao Jixiang rebelled during the Tianshun period of Yingzong, he relied on two elite soldiers, one was the warrior battalion of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the other was the Black Flag Arrow Team promoted by Dongchang.

The current warrior battalion still follows the system of the early national period, and every year it will send people to the border to recruit those Han Chinese who have fled from Mongolia, so as to always maintain the combat effectiveness of the warrior battalion.

However, whether it is the Tengxiang Four Guards or the Warrior Battalion, the weight of its forbidden army determines that there is no way for the Flying Tiger Army to join through the "political review". The former is to directly defend the imperial city, and the latter is the only elite that Ouchi can mobilize, how can a group of Han Chinese, Jurchens, Mongols, and Koreans who are similar to horse bandits stay by the side of the Son of Heaven.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to do it." What can't be done, Liangchen won't say that he can do it, although he needs the Flying Tiger Army, but he won't rely on deception to pull them over temporarily.

Wei Liangchen's answer did not surprise Zhang Hu much, he said: "Do you know from Wei She, why are these people willing to join my Flying Tiger Army? ”

In addition to money and women, Liangchen couldn't think of what price Gao Huai could promise.

Zhang Hu looked at Zheng Duo: "What are you telling Wei Sheren for?" ”

Zheng Duo took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "When we joined the Flying Tiger Army, Gonggong Gao promised us to be the Son of Heaven's army in the future. ”

"Can Gao Huai do it?" Liangchen was full of doubts about this.
