As expected, from beginning to end, Ying Tianfu's official mission did not appear. In fact, the capital has the rules of the capital, and if something happens in a store with such a deep background, as long as no one lives and no one sues the official, the government will not care.

However, after this trouble, everyone lost interest, Zhou Yong took his soldiers back to the barracks, and Wang Xian and the others returned to the prince's mansion.

"Coming back so early?" In order to maintain his image, Zhu Zhanji couldn't go out with them to have fun, so he stayed in the house and was depressed. Seeing Wang Xian come back early, he became happy: "What happened?" ”

"As you wish," Wang Xianbai glanced at him and said, "I was disturbed by two boys surnamed Xue." ”

"Are you Xue Xun and Xue Huan?" Zhu Zhanji guessed at once.

"Uh...... Listen to the son of the Marquis of Yangwu. Wang Xian nodded.

"It's the two of them," Zhu Zhanji said with a wry smile: "This is a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, and my family doesn't recognize my family." Although his young army is mainly composed of civilian children, there are also children of meritorious military generals, and they are all heads.

"I'm afraid this big water is deliberate," Wang Xian sneered: "They obviously wanted to smash the field, but they didn't expect that Qing Yishui, who was sitting on my side, was elite, and there was also a high level of help, so they suffered this dumb loss." ”

"It doesn't make sense, huh?" Zhu Zhanji frowned and said, "It's not an errand for you to replace them." ”

"I haven't asked ...... yet" Hearing him mention this stubble, Wang Xian asked, "What do you want me to do?" ”

"Your heart has finally returned to me?" Zhu Zhanji laughed.

"I'm back, and I'm dedicated to serving His Highness in the future." Wang Xian sneered.

"That's pretty much it." Zhu Zhanji smiled happily. Objectively speaking, he has all the ingredients to be a good leader. When Wang Xian first arrived in the capital, although Zhu Zhanji needed help very much, he was able to understand his situation, not only did not make any requests, but also actively helped him solve the problem.

In this process, Wang Xian's feelings for him continue to deepen, and now that the problem is solved, he will naturally go all out to serve him, and the effect is much better than half-heartedly. To a large extent, the difference lies in the fact that some leaders will defect and leave their relatives after the most demoralization, while others can receive the dedicated service of all.

This kind of clever way of controlling the subordination is something that many people don't understand when they get old. But Zhu Zhanji was already familiar with it at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and he smiled slightly: "It's late tonight, and you will know the way with my military camp early tomorrow morning." ”

"Okay." Wang Xian had to wait until tomorrow to uncover the mystery.

As a result, that night, he lost sleep...... In fact, at first he thought that the young army of Na Lao Shi was a big toy given by the emperor to his beloved grandson, and he came to the capital to play with Zhu Zhanji fighting crickets...... Jester. But the veteran Zhou Xin woke him up, if he thought that the young army was a child, it would be a big mistake

It is important to know that in the military sequence of previous dynasties, there is always an elite pro-army, which is subordinate to the crown prince and serves as the endorsement of the authority of the prince of a country. For example, the three guards of the crown prince of the Sui Dynasty, the left and right guards of the East Palace of the Tang Dynasty, and the avant-garde of the government army of this dynasty. Although this personal guard was abolished due to the martyrdom, over the years, there have been calls for the restoration of the personal guard for the crown prince.

But the emperor did not agree, until the year of the order for the grandson to form a young army, for him to practice battles, in and out of the guard, this is clearly the prototype of the prince's army, it is estimated that it will not be long before it will be given a number, become the official army of the Ming Dynasty. Farther away, the imperial court will probably still use troops against the Tartars, and according to the emperor's temperament, eighty percent will have to be recruited in person. With the emperor's expectations for the grandson, it is likely to take Zhu Zhanji to the battlefield. With such an assumption, the mission of the Young Army is about to come out.

The opportunity lies in the fact that the vast majority of people now regard the young army as a child's thing, but Taisun undoubtedly attaches great importance to this matter. If he can perform positively, he will naturally leave an excellent impression on Taisun. If you really have the opportunity to go to war in the future, you are more likely to get rewards beyond imagination.

That's to follow Taisun to the battlefield, it's both beautiful and fast, and it's absolutely safe, there's really no better shortcut

At midnight the next day, a palace person told Wang Xian to get up, and after having breakfast with Zhu Zhanji in the main hall, the two of them rushed to the young army camp in the north of the city. The capital of the Ming Dynasty still has a strong imprint of Taizu, and the north of the city is the defense area of the defenders, and a large number of forbidden troops are stationed here. Therefore, the main building in the north of the city is the military barracks, and with the change of time, many armies have been withdrawn and relocated, and there are camps vacated from time to time. Emperor Yongle issued an order to form a young army for Taisun, and the military department responsible for recruiting troops selected a military camp located in Jinchuan Gate in the north of the city for Taisun.

On the carriage to Jinchuan Gate, Zhu Zhanji confessed to Wang Xian, "This young army began to be formed, and the personnel arrived in Beijing one after another at the beginning of this year, and then the rules were taught by the military department for two months, in fact, they were handed over to me not long ago. I thought that I would be given an old general at the helm, but who knows the emperor, then I will become a puppet, and I will be allowed to train the army myself, so there are no veterans, and I am only allowed to choose from the children of the generals under the age of 20 who have not yet taken up their posts. ”

"It's a good thing to give you the opportunity to develop a team." Wang Xiandao.

"I know. But you also know that the nobles and generals all wear a pair of pants with my second uncle. Zhu Zhanji said depressedly: "He said hello, and those princes and uncles who were good with him did not allow their children to join the young army." ”

"Aren't there a lot of noble children?"

"Basically, they are all Taizu Dynasty nobles who are standing aside, they want to reborn salted fish, and let their children mix with me." Zhu Zhanji said: "A big man in power like Yang Wuhou is because he has a big enmity with Ji Gang, and then he hates my second uncle together, so he deliberately disagrees with him and lets his children come to mix with me." There is no second case. ”

"Does it matter?" Wang Xian realized that the other party was telling him euphemistically that he wanted to have a good relationship with the two treasures of the Xue family. He didn't understand why Zhu Zhanji valued the two gentlemen so much: "I mean, what is the difference between not having a noble child and having a noble child?" What is the difference between the old and the new? ”

"The difference is big," Zhu Zhanji said with a wry smile: "You must know that between the military and the people of the Ming Dynasty, there has been a clear distinction between the Ming Dynasty and the people for decades, and training and fighting is the business of military households, and the households are cultivating fields and planting mulberry, but this time the young army is unprecedented, recruiting people from the people's households, so there is no foundation for martial arts at all." ”

"Isn't a whiteboard bad? What do you want to practice? Wang Xian said.

"Good," Zhu Zhanji said with an appreciative look: "I think so too," and said with a bitter face: "But how can you practice without an officer?" It is necessary to have a large number of middle- and lower-level officers who are more than qualified in the ranks to turn the more than 10,000 ordinary people into soldiers, and then we can talk about training. ”

"Aren't you letting the sons of the nobles come to the middle and lower ranks, right?" Wang Xianxin, why do I sound so unreliable.

"Of course not, although the noble generals are all good at leading troops, their children and grandchildren ...... I really don't want to mention it. Zhu Zhanji sighed and said: "What I value is not them, but their father's connections." You're so smart, you don't need to understand. ”

"Got it." Wang Xian nodded, Zhu Zhanji gave Xungui's children a position as a middle and senior officer, in order not to disgrace their children and grandchildren, Xungui will definitely choose a group of reliable subordinates to give their children the moment. Although this will make the army full of factions, it is a good way to make the young army from scratch quickly take shape. Moreover, Zhu Zhanji is the grandson, not only is he not afraid of factions, but he is happy to see the emergence of factions.

However, only the heroes who have made contributions to the Jingnan have troops, and those nobles who founded the country have been standing aside for many years, and there is no one available at all, so in Zhu Zhanji's eyes, they are of little value.

And Xue Lu, the Marquis of Yangwu, is the governor of the left army and the right governor, the top five military bosses, and two years ago, Shangshu asked to train the children of military ministers, and then put a lot of effort into this, it is conceivable that Zhu Zhanji hopes to get help from this person.

"Okay, I'm not going to pay those two boys." Wang Xian is still very knowledgeable, of course, this has something to do with his thick skin.

"No, no, you're mistaken." Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said, "I ask you to forgive them, not to apologize to them." ”

"Uh......" Wang Xian was a little confused: "People are the pride of the sky, and I apologize for being a little showman?" ”

"When I enter my barracks, I will judge the size of the camp according to the position in the barracks." Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said.

"What the hell are you asking me for?"

"I'm ready to worship you as a military advisor" Zhu Zhanji finally stopped selling Guanzi.

"Poof, military advisor ......" Wang Xian laughed and said, "Do you think it's singing?" ”

"How can it be singing?" Zhu Zhanji said seriously: "In the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", there are military advisors sacrificing wine and military advisors and generals, and Xun You, Guo Jia, Kong Ming, Pang Tong and others have all held this position. ”

"But I'm a big Ming, but I don't have the position of a military advisor."

"I haven't had a young army in the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Zhanji rolled his eyes and said: "I am in charge of my army, and if I have a military division, I will have a military division." ”

"Okay...... Wang Xian had no choice but to respond: "Then what am I talking about?" ”

"I have searched the ancient books, and I have given you the right to save money, and to supervise the army." Zhu Zhanji said in a deep voice.

Wang Xian opened his mouth wide, the so-called 'moderation is appropriate, that is, he can consider the big and small things in the army! Dealing with the situation, coupled with the power of supervising the army, his status in the young army is second only to the grandson, this, this is too nonsense...... Although the young army is not a regular army, there are more than 13,000 people, and a large number of the sons of various marquis and uncles in it will attack the military in the future, at least thousands of households and commanders. I am a classless and rankless official, and I am embarrassed to mention this identity after entering Beijing, and I always cover up my shame with the title of Xiucai, why should I be above them

"Thank you for looking at it, but I'm not qualified, if you help me hard, everyone will not be convinced." Although the eldest husband was in charge, he also learned that Lu Dao ate a few bowls of rice by himself, and it was better to refuse as soon as he came up than to be unable to mix up and be driven away by the ashes.

"You don't have to worry about that." Zhu Zhanji looked like 'I have already made up my mind,' and said with a wink: "Young Master Yao's disciple, who dares to disobey when he is a military advisor in our army?" ”
