Chapter 92 Carrying water

Li Wenzhong arrived at the Wuying Hall and said after seeing the ceremony, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Emperor Taisun has ordered me to find five thousand people who are good at using firearms and one thousand cavalry."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he frowned and was a little unsure, "Boss, what Xiongying said was three thousand households of firecrackers and four hundred people with cannons, right? That's four thousand people, why do we need five thousand people?"

?"

Zhu Biao also asked quickly, "Cousin, did you hear wrongly? In addition to the three thousand firearms soldiers, there should be two to three thousand people ready."

Li Wenzhong said quickly, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun means that five thousand people who are good at using firearms will be incorporated into the Shenji Battalion. I want to select some people and have made preparations, and I will find one or two thousand smart soldiers for training."<

/p>

Zhu Biao became happy when he heard this and said, "It makes sense. Xiongying has built his own airs, and he has to train new people by himself."

Lao Zhu said at this time, "Now find him five thousand men. How to arrange them is his business. These people must be elites, and firearms cannot be used in a day. If you have a thousand cavalry, look for those Mongolians.

It takes a long time to practice.”

Li Wenzhong has no objection. What he gives to the emperor's grandson must be the best, and he knows it in his heart. But now that His Majesty and His Highness have spoken, he will naturally be more free to do something.

Li Wenzhong did not hide his confusion and asked, "Your Majesty, how many people should I prepare in total?"

Lao Zhu became proud and said, "Three thousand guards with fire guns, 3,600 people, 400 with cannons, 1,000 cavalry, 400 with fire attack arrows, divine machine arrows. These are the five soldiers of the divine machine battalion."

Fourteen hundred people, and a guard station attached, and those who perform well can enter the Shenji camp."

Zhu Biao said, "If you prepare another two hundred, it will be a guard."

Li Wenzhong understood that the configuration of the Shenji Camp was two guard posts. The real Shenji Camp had 5,600 people. But the lower camp attached to the Shenji Camp was also equipped with one guard, and the training was the same as the Shenji Camp.

As a supplement to Shenji Camp.

Looking at Li Wenzhong, Lao Zhu asked, "Bao'er, how brave is my grandson?"

Li Wenzhong immediately hurriedly praised, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson is extraordinarily brave and unstoppable! At this age, I don't have such courage."

Lao Zhu is even more happy. After all, his close nephew is a close person, and he can speak and do things well.

Zhu Xiongying wandered back to Kunning Palace and immediately shouted, "Grandma, I'm hungry!"

Queen Ma, who was in the palace, complained loudly, "You are clamoring for food when you come back. You won't let people pass the food around? I have to take care of all the big and small things. You are such a big person, do you still need me to take care of you?"
p>

"That's not true!" Zhu Xiongying said matter-of-factly, "Grandma has arranged it. I'm used to it. Grandma, I'm very tired today. I read the brochures for a long time and asked about various firearms in detail.

”

Queen Ma quickly asked people to pass on the food. She could complain about her grandson's "lack of growth", but she couldn't starve her grandson. What's more, if one day her grandson had to do everything by himself, Queen Ma would probably be disappointed. She enjoyed being

The busy life of a grandchild.

"You can just look at the firearms, but you can't use them yourself." Empress Ma also reminded at this time, "Those things are more evil than weapons. Sometimes they have to explode, and some people don't dare to use firearms."
p>

Zhu Xiongying nodded repeatedly. Most of today's firearms are made of iron, and the production process, service life, etc. may not be guaranteed. Therefore, things like exploding chambers also happen from time to time, which is unavoidable.

While waiting for the meal to be delivered, Empress Ma asked, "I'm looking for your cousin today. Do you think he knows a lot about firearms?"

Zhu Xiongying nodded and said, "There are still fewer people. Three thousand six hundred people hold fire blunderbuss, four hundred people use cannons, two hundred people use magical arrows, two hundred people use fire attack arrows. One thousand cavalry, this is quite good.

Nothing has changed.”

Queen Ma said at this time, "Wouldn't it be enough for four hundred people to use cannons?"

"My Ming Dynasty's artillery is a bit too big, so I'm afraid it won't be possible to take it out into the field." Zhu Xiongying analyzed and said, "My cannons are not cannons used to defend the city. They are thicker bowl-mouthed blunderbuss. I guess they only cost one or two.

A guy weighing 100 kilograms. Bring fire attack arrows and magic arrows. When you encounter the enemy in formation, hit him first!"

When Empress Ma heard this, she thought it was reasonable, "That's good, those things can hit far and hard enough. Even if they can't kill many people, they can still disrupt their formation and break their morale. If there are too few people, the cannons

Anything less will not be enough."

No, this is fire coverage. Although the coverage is not dense enough now, it still needs to be covered a little. Zhu Xiongying still prefers the artillery doctrine. Even if the firearms of the Ming Dynasty are not so advanced, they can still be used.

"When choosing cavalry, look for Mongolians." Empress Ma gave advice. "When we conquered the world in the early years, many of the soldiers were from the south. After the north was pacified, many Mongolians came over as vassals. Those people are now also the Ming Dynasty.

People, you should use it."

Zhu Xiongying nodded repeatedly, and then said proudly, "Since ancient times, it has always been from north to south. My grandfather was the first to conquer the world from south to north and unify it!"

Isn’t that what it is!

Leaving aside the peaceful small court, Lao Zhu was really the first emperor in history to complete the unification from south to north.

Empress Ma encouraged and said, "It is rare to see such a hero as your grandfather. Don't let his reputation fall short of you!"

Zhu Xiongying nodded repeatedly. He didn't dare to say that he could rival Lao Zhu, but he definitely couldn't make a joke. After all, Zhu Xiongying was taught by Lao Zhu and Queen Ma himself, so he couldn't lose their reputation.

Empress Ma thought for a while and then asked, "Who do you plan to use as the chief general of the Shenji Camp?"

At this time, Zhu Xiongying hurriedly said, "This is where my grandson is in trouble. The Shenji Battalion must be a pro-army of the Beijing Guard. Unlike the local guards, it must be directly under the command of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion."

Empress Ma smiled and said, "That's not necessarily the case. We will consider him a personal soldier and a member of the Imperial Guard."

Zhu Xiongying thought for a while and said, "That's right, they belong to the pro-army. In the future, when the emperor goes to war in person, they should also guard the emperor's camp."

Queen Ma immediately stopped talking. The child was thinking about the conquest again!

Zhu Xiongying also continued at this time, "This Shenji Battalion of mine cannot use a third-grade guard commander. It should be a general commander, and a second-grade general commander. This is better."

Empress Ma thought for a moment and said, "In that case, it should be the Commander-in-Chief. Even though they are two guards, I admit it."

Zhu Xiongying thought the same way, and said, "The general configuration of the general school is the same as that of the guards. One person who is in the second rank will command the envoys, those who are in the second rank will command two Tongzhi, and those who are in the third rank will command the generals.

Four people, that’s it.”

This is a senior general, an underground general, a general or a thousand households, etc. It is enough to follow the current military system, and Zhu Xiongying does not need to worry too much at all.

"I think you are a new recruit in the Shenji Battalion, so it would be better if the commander-in-chief is a veteran." Empress Ma said, "A second-grade commander-in-chief must not be an ordinary prince. They all serve in the Fifth Army Commander-in-Chief's Office.

.The Marquis at the back can choose one person. If there is someone you really want, let your father find a crime and punish him."

This operation is normal. Since ancient times, many ministers have been belittled so that the new king can show mercy.

Zhu Xiongying said confidently, "I don't think so. The Marquis should be able to serve as a commander. There are many people who want to serve in front of me, and the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty are all at my disposal."

Empress Ma made sense when she thought about it, and then said, "The general has been chosen, just tell me. Commander, I want you to ask Jiujiang to help you. After all, you are a family member, and you should have someone close to you in the army."

."

Jiujiang, of course, is Li Jinglong, Zhu Xiongying’s cousin and Li Wenzhong’s eldest son.

Zhu Xiongying thought for a while and said, "Cousin from Jiujiang cannot be in our Shenji Camp. If we really let him come, it will be difficult for my grandfather and father to employ people in the future. The scene when my cousin was ill frightened many people.

As a relative of my clan, someone should lead the troops and sit in command."

Empress Ma made sense when she heard it. Li Wenzhong must have military talents. But if it weren't for the fact that he was Lao Zhu's nephew, Li Wenzhong would not have gotten so many opportunities. Li Wenzhong was an important factor in Lao Zhu's restraint on Wu Xun.

Huan, it is impossible to really let Huaixi nobles hug each other.

Li Jinglong's positioning is the same, even though he is one of the key figures in the emperor's control of military power.

Regarding Li Jinglong, Zhu Xiongying was a little resentful at first, always feeling that Li Jinglong might be just talking on paper. But after so many years of observation, Zhu Xiongying also felt that Li Jinglong still had some skills. Li Wenzhong taught him personally, and Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao were full of praise.

This man is definitely not mediocre.

And Zhu Xiongying is not Zhu Yunwen, and he can't do some magic tricks, so naturally he doesn't need to worry too much about Li Jinglong's loyalty.

"I'm thinking of two commanders, one is Wu Gao, and the other is Xu Yungong from Wei Guogong's family. They are both rising stars, and both of them are cautious and steady." Zhu Xiongying said about his candidates,

"When the time comes, I can stuff the soup cauldron from my third uncle, Guo Jingyi, and Xinguo Gong's family into it, and that will be it."

Empress Ma immediately laughed and said, "Tang Ding? He is the former military governor, Qian Shi, and he is a second-rank official!"

"He would be happy to have him work for me as a fourth-rank official." Zhu Xiongying said proudly, "Many people are waiting for me, especially those who followed me back to my hometown in Fengyang in the early years. I'm afraid I won't need them."<

/p>

Empress Ma smiled and said, "Just know what you have in mind and give it to your third uncle. You can find a young man from other noble families to give them something to look forward to. You have only had so many people around you these years, and you are not

You are so close, the honorable Huaixi nobles are so anxious."

Looking at Queen Ma, Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "I'm afraid the people on King Kaiping's side are anxious, right?"

Queen Ma rolled her eyes at Zhu Xiongying, her grandson really knew everything.

The people who followed Zhu Xiongying back to Fengyang in the early years were also considered to be working in Taisun's mansion and under Taisun's command. However, those people's origins were generally the emperor's confidants.
