"It's finally down, but it's not easy." Zhu Cihong thanked the little eunuch in front of him, let Ning Wei on the side wait and take away the usual meeting gift, and then took the holy decree into the study in an elegant courtyard next to King Zhou's mansion.

Inside, Yang Wenyue, Gao Mingheng, Hu Dawei, Chen Yongfu, Xu Yanqi, Liu Sheng, Liu Zhen and other generals under Zhu Cihong's command, who were still waiting, looked at Zhu Cihong with a serious face.

"The Imperial Court has approved the proposal to establish the Royal Guards Legion, and in a short time, a new name and corresponding official documents will be issued. The military is the same as I said before. Even the issue of military pay requires more than one more formality, but it is only an official document, and with an extra stamp, it can be done in my account. Zhu Cihong clapped his hands and unfolded the holy decree in hand for everyone to see.

"Order Zhu Cihong, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, to be the commander of the Royal Guards Legion and lead the army ......"

Yang Wenyue muttered softly, the expression on his face bloomed like a flower, like an old chrysanthemum that bloomed in recent winter: "Big things can be planned!" ”

For Yang Wenyue, he is the most aware of the importance of this name. Zhu Cihong almost became an independent kingdom in Henan, but he could not continue to strengthen his vital military power. This can be said to be a fatal loophole for Zhu Cihong's power system.

Therefore, Yang Wenyue did not know the importance of military power several times, either explicitly or implicitly. Zhu Cihong smiled every time and said that he knew, but he didn't take any action.

Yang Wenyue also thought that Zhu Cihong was overconfident. But when the news came from Beijing that Zhou Yanru had made Zhu Cihong in Henan almost build a country by himself, Yang Wenyue thought that he understood the bitterness in Zhu Cihong's heart. thought that Zhu Cihong didn't want to continue to stimulate Emperor Chongzhen, so he made the father and son separate.

Unexpectedly. Zhu Cihong had already quietly handed over such a piece of military reform.

And now, in Zhou Yanru made it bad. When Yang Wenyue felt that it was almost impossible, Emperor Chongzhen agreed to this plan, which seemed to be almost running wild in the direction of self-reliance.

How can this not make Yang Wenyue sigh?

I deeply feel that this prince's methods are extraordinary.

Others know that they don't know as deeply as Yang Wenyue. But he also understands how important this matter is to Zhu Cihong.

Of course, no one will forget what an important objection they will have when the Royal Guard comes out.

Liu Zhen took the lead in touching his smooth head and shouted: "So, we are also the guards of the Son of Heaven, and the only glory of scorpion!" ”

Liu Sheng coughed embarrassedly, and hit Liu Zhen hard with his elbow: "Can't you talk well?" After all, let's put out this trumpet. is also a dignified teacher, and everyone has to be polite. ”

In the corner, Gao Mingheng, who didn't speak much, sighed lightly in his heart. If you want to say that the emphasis on literature and the suppression of military force began to emerge after the change of Tumubao. First, of course, it is because those old qualified and capable nobles fell out of the border fortress, and secondly, there are also generals and soldiers who no longer take military merits as a custom. In this regard, the name of Jingying can be counted. The names of dozens of Jingwei in Beijing are loud and loud, and they are all majestic when they go out after a voice.

But after arriving in Jingying. That's what it's called.

What left and right tucks, left and right whistles. The names of the Shenshu Camp and the Shenji Camp are a bit better.

Now, Zhu Cihong's name as a Royal Guards Legion is displayed, who dares not to have an awe-inspiring heart?

This shows that this prince wants to support the army under his command.

To say that the imperial army is divided into three, six, nine and so on. After drawing out the pervert of Jinyiwei. The first-class nature is none other than the group of uncles in Jingying. These people have always pretended to be the Royal Guard, although there is no such thing in the official hierarchy. As for the second class, it is counted as a nine-sided official army. Count again. It is the soldiers under the command of the provincial generals. These are the regular armies of the Empire. As for the Guards. Although it is also a regular army, in fact, no one cares anymore. Counting what other regiments practice, what township is brave and strong. It's all the work of the militia.

Now, Zhu Cihong has gathered the three armies in his hands into the name of a Royal Guards Legion, who dares not to say that this is the first grade of the empire's strong soldiers?

Of course, whether it is from the degree of food and clothing, or the salary and silver pension, this is the level of the first grade of the empire. A strong soldier who has worked hard at such a level and won countless military exploits with blood and sweat is also worthy of the name of this Royal Guards Legion.

"I'm going to tremble in the future, and I'm going back to spread the news today. See which one dares not to worry when training! Don't you practice well, worthy of the generous treatment given by His Royal Highness, worthy of the name of the Royal Guards Legion? Tiger Dawei shouted.

"In my opinion, just this one military horn will tear out hundreds of more letters in the battalion. The father and mother at the head of the family said that everyone who kissed would break the door. Xu Yanqi was witty.

"Hahaha......" The generals listened and immediately laughed in unison.

"Alright, alright." Yang Wenyue stopped the commotion of everyone and said, "Let's listen to His Highness's adjustments to each department." Speaking of which, when His Royal Highness discussed this brand-new military system with me at the beginning, it really suppressed the old minister! ”

Yang Wenyue may not be a famous handsome at that time, but he is also an old qualification on the battlefield. When everyone heard that Yang Wenyue was also suppressed, they immediately became curious.

At this moment, when Zhu Cihong stretched out his hand and pressed it gently, everyone closed their voices one after another, and the scene was silent.

Zhu Cihong pondered for a moment and said, "In the system of the army, the system of soldiers, small flags, general flags, hundred households, and thousands of households is maintained. Previously, in order to prepare for the previous battle with Li Chuang, he didn't move when he arrived at Qianhu, so that when the battalions increased to more than 2,000 people, Qianhu actually became a battalion officer. But this is not in line with the efficiency of the command. As the basic combat unit in the army, battalion officers need to be raised. Lone means that the current leaders of each battalion will be promoted to a battalion-level general, and they will be listed separately. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Cihong paused, looked at the eager eyes of everyone, and said loudly: "This official rank is compared to the military system of the captain in the Han Dynasty. The battalion commander of the infantry is an infantry captain. The commander of the cavalry battalion is a commando captain. The commander of the artillery battalion is the captain of the battle. However, for Xu Yanqi, who led the Flying Bear Battalion, he does not need to be called an infantry captain, but can be called a Flying Bear captain. Liu Sheng, the new leader of the Tiger Battalion, can be called the captain of the Tiger Camp. In addition to leading the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, each lieutenant can also bear the military expenses from the army and organize a personal guard, with a quota of 100 people. ”

Yang Wenyue's eyes suddenly lit up, and he secretly applauded in his heart. (To be continued.) )
