The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 183 The First Military Chemistry School in Ming Dynasty

On the outskirts of Nanjing, Jingying.

Except for the camp of the Twelve Guards of the Son of Heaven surrounding the Daming Palace, in the inner and outer cities of Nanjing, except for the Wucheng Bingmasi, the rest of the Jingying Guards were stationed in the outskirts of the outer city.

The Jingying guards were stationed around the Nanjing city gate, with water sources and close to the outer moat, so that they could quickly enter the city to guard against threats to the city of Nanjing.

The places where most of the Jingying guards are stationed are also important traffic routes that must pass through.

Zhu Ying took Ye Yueqing and more than 20 Jin Yiwei, accompanied by Lan Yu and others to a certain Beijing camp.

The soldiers in the capital camp are the five thousand soldiers selected by Lan Yu for Zhu Ying.

The construction of Jingying is similar to that of a camp, surrounded by huge wooden pillars, guard towers and soldiers on duty.

"Who is coming? This is an important area of ​​the military camp, and you are not allowed to enter without authorization." The soldiers at the gate saw dozens of cavalry swarming in, and immediately put on a defensive posture.

The so-called ringing rope is similar to an alarm device. Once it is sounded, it will tell the inside of the camp that an enemy has broken in.

Sitting on the horse, Zhu Ying was very satisfied looking at the two sturdy soldiers with sharp eyes. From now on, they would be his soldiers.

Sapphire's complexion remained unchanged, she just took out a token from her bosom and threw it at the soldier on duty. After the soldier on duty inspected it, he cupped his fists and said, "I've seen Duke Liang."

Of course they knew Sapphire, but as soldiers, no matter who they were, whether they knew him or not, they only followed orders.

"This is His Royal Highness Changsun, you will open the gate immediately, beat the drums in the school field, and summon all the soldiers."

Sapphire said in a low voice.

Hearing this, the two guards on duty immediately lowered their heads, knelt down on one knee facing Zhu Ying who was on the horse, and said, "I have seen Your Highness."

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After the two soldiers got up, they quickly pushed open the gate of the camp to welcome Zhu Ying and others to enter.

Zhu Ying took the lead and went directly towards the school field.

The layout of the camp is very simple. Right in front of the gate, there is a large building, which is obviously the military conference and the general's residence.

On the left and right sides are military buildings, warehouses, reserves and other buildings.

There is a huge open space in the middle, and there is a general platform above it, which can be seen at a glance.

Where the military camp is located, naturally there won't be too many twists and turns, so that the soldiers can see the surrounding situation at any time.

For example, in some film and television dramas of later generations, the military camp can be avoided everywhere like the city, and it does not exist at all.

Zhu Ying rode straight to the point of the platform, and then everyone got off their horses. At this moment, one of the two soldiers on duty had already walked in front of the drum.

"Drumming."

Zhu Ying stood in the center, said in a deep voice with her hands behind her back.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom
The sound of the drums reminded me that the war drums in the army were several times larger than ordinary drums, and as soon as they were struck, the sound would resound throughout the camp.

As the drums sounded, many soldiers appeared one after another and quickly came towards the school grounds.

Drumming in the barracks, no matter what you are doing, you must dress up immediately, and gather at the school grounds with weapons in hand.

The sound of the drum was tight, and when the drum passed, thousands of soldiers had already started to line up on the school field.

Zhu Ying didn't say anything like the end of the three-way drum, and the battle of those who have not arrived. In front of him are the strongest elites of Ming Dynasty. These are all the most basic requirements.

Before the Ertong Drum had passed, standing in front of Zhu Ying was already [-] soldiers lined up to complete the battle.

A drum is struck 330 three times, about 5 minutes, and a three-tong drum is about a quarter of an hour.

Zhu Ying's 10 soldiers lined up in less than [-] minutes. They were neat and tidy without any restlessness, which shows their quality.

Looking at the five thousand armored burly man in front of him, Zhu Ying felt heroic in vain.

She didn't speak for a while, and after the three-way drum was over, Zhu Ying nodded slightly to Lan Yu.

Sapphire took a step forward and looked at the many soldiers.

"Meet the General!!!"

The next moment, a deafening sound spread, and five thousand soldiers clasped their fists and bowed.

As for Sapphire, there are no soldiers who can stay in the capital camp that they don't know.In the military camp, there was no such title as Liang Guogong, but the title of Great General.

"Listen, officers and men, you are able to stand here, each of you is a soldier of the army, and I have summoned you here today to become new personal guards."

"Standing in front of you is His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty. From now on, you and I will be the personal guards directly under His Royal Highness, and obey all orders of His Royal Highness."

After Lan Yu's words fell, the first five thousand soldiers were not at all in an uproar, they just paused for a moment, and the next moment they all knelt on one knee and roared like thunder:
"His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!!!"

"His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!!!"

"His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!!!"

All the soldiers roared with all their strength, and the veins on their necks burst out. The sound resounded through the sky, and there seemed to be smoke and dust stirring on the ground.

The selection of sapphire is not random and simple.

Those who can stand here are all the best in their respective armies who have obtained this qualification through competition.

Before they competed, they didn't know who they were following. They only knew that the Five Armies Commander's Mansion issued an order to build a new Beijing camp guard, and those who were selected would have their military salary increased by half.

The treatment of the Beijing camp is higher than that of the border soldiers. The monthly salary of ordinary soldiers is one stone of rice, while that of the Beijing camp is close to two stones.

There will naturally be more elites in the army, and the two stones will go up.

And as long as they can join the newly built Beijing Camp Guards, the military salary of two stones will directly become three stones, which is equivalent to a salary increase of 50.00%.

When the news came, all the guards under the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies almost broke their heads for these quotas.

You must know that this is only for the soldiers, and there are thousands of households, hundreds of households, general banners, and small banners.

Small banners control ten people, general banners control five small banners, a hundred households control two general banners, and a thousand households control ten hundred households.

The salary of these officers is higher than that of ordinary soldiers, and it is also increased by half.

What is the purpose of being a soldier, as far as Ming is concerned, it is nothing more than to be able to make a living, except for a few top soldiers who have the idea of ​​​​defending their homes and the country when they are satisfied with their materials.

Most military households are just for life.

Seeing the five thousand elite soldiers bowing their heads on one knee in front of her, Zhu Ying slowly took two steps forward.

"Get up."

"Follow the order!!!"

Boom, even if it was just two words, there was a wave of thunder in the unison answers of five thousand soldiers.

For Zhu Ying, this was the first time she felt that her subordinates were not so large and well-equipped.

"Listen, gentlemen, from now on, you will share weal and woe with this palace, as long as this palace has something to eat, you will not let you be wronged."

"Today is our first meeting, and I didn't bring any presents. Even today, all the members have one, and they will be rewarded with one month's military pay. I hope Er and others will abide by the military discipline in the future and will not disobey."

Zhu Ying's voice was not very loud, but all the soldiers listened with pricked ears.

When they heard that they were rewarded with one month's military pay, the entire school grounds were erupting.

"Your Highness is mighty! Your Highness is mighty! Your Highness is mighty!"

All the soldiers yelled loudly, the actual military salary was more exciting than any beautiful words.

"Above one hundred households will enter the big account council, and the rest will disperse." Zhu Ying ordered.

Zhu Ying knew very well that middle-level officers were the core of an army. What he had to do was to get acquainted with these officers first.

In order to better command this guard.

The identity of the eldest grandson of the emperor is one aspect, Zhu Ying has no other choice now, but for the time being, he can only use his money ability first to gain the favor of the soldiers.

As the royal guards, the military salaries of all soldiers will be paid directly from the treasury, including the reward just now.

Zhu Ying had already been told by Lan Yu on the way here.

It is said that there are 5000 people, but in fact there are 200 people in the barracks, including cooks, craftsmen, and military doctors.

Five thousand households and fifty hundred households followed into the meeting hall in the middle of the camp.

The first thing to do is roll call.

Holding the roster in Zhang Bo's hands, he began to call out names one by one for Zhu Ying to know.

"Pan Rong, Wu Hai, Dong Quan, Zhang Zuo, Cao Bing."

"The end is here!!!"

Five thousands of households stood in front of Zhu Ying one by one after being called.

If Zhu Ying had carefully studied the history of the early Ming Dynasty, she would know that these five people were all executed in the Lanyu case.

For example, Cao Bing is the number two figure in Lanyu Group, the eldest son of Jingchuanhou Cao Zhen.

Pan Rong, the commander of the banner guard, was directly demoted to Zhu Ying to work as a thousand households under Lan Yu's suggestion.

That is to say, the same is true of the other three people, who basically requested to be demoted under Sapphire's suggestion.

Not to mention Cao Bing, as Cao Zhen's eldest son, he would naturally listen to Song Lanyu's orders.

The rest of the Qianhus, who came to the Qianhus under the wrong command, were almost all Lan Yu's confidantes from another perspective.

The general situation of the other fifty hundred households is similar.

After everyone's roll call, Zhu Ying gave a few words of encouragement, and then asked hundreds of households to leave, and thousands of households to stay for a detailed discussion.

"Today's dinner, I will have dinner with all the officers and men, firstly, to get acquainted with each other, and secondly, to discuss some future drills."

"Follow the order."

This is Zhu Ying's first time using the name Ben Gong. Although she is not used to it, it will not be a big problem if you say it a few times.

Zhu Ying understands very well that in the army, to gain the loyalty of the soldiers is something that must be done by bowing down.

He knew in his heart that the people transferred by Lanyu, these thousands of households, hundreds of households, even the general banner and small banner, could be said to be Lanyu's people.

In other words, he belonged to the Huaixi generals group.

But these Zhu Ying didn't care, the soldiers were like meat in their mouths when they were under their command.

He has enough confidence to make all these soldiers submit to him and only obey his orders.

Under Zhu Ying's order, a large number of fine wine, pigs and sheep were continuously transported from the capital.

Although Zhu Ying's chamber of commerce used up most of its savings for disaster relief in Henan, these meals were nothing more than a drop in the bucket to Zhu Ying.

Watching the pigs and sheep being slaughtered continuously, the atmosphere of the whole camp became lively.

Zhu Ying's order was spread, and almost all the soldiers were very excited.

Even the soldiers in the Beijing camp did not have meat to eat every day. Only after three days of training could they eat a meal of meat.

At other times, the soldiers of the Beijing camp also had the duty to garrison the fields.

Now, as Zhu Ying's personal guard, he is no different from the professional soldiers of later generations. From one drill every three days, it has also been changed to daily drills.

Among them, Zhu Ying paid out of her own pocket, and had enough food and drink.

The reason why he brought Zhang Bo here this time was to prepare for the real militarized management of the five thousand soldiers.

Even Zhu Ying has sent an order to Ye Yueqing to summon teachers, and all soldiers must learn to read and write after daily drills.

From the very beginning, Zhu Ying planned to transform the current camp into a militarized college structure, and this batch of 5000 people would be the key training officers.

Zhu Ying will personally formulate the daily curriculum, the content of the class, and the way of training.

When night fell, the bonfire was lit, many soldiers held a carnival with wine, and many thousands and hundreds of households toasted with Zhu Ying.

Little do they know, tonight will be the last of their happy days.

From the second day onwards, it was the beginning of hell-style training.

Zhu Ying is very satisfied with these sturdy soldiers and strong generals, which means that he can directly start high-intensity training without worrying about the physical fitness of the soldiers.

At dinner, Zhu Ying didn't show off her personal power, it was necessary to have the blessing of the royal majesty.

"I will leave the affairs of the Gunpowder Department to you. In the next few days, let Uncle Zhang stay with me here."

Zhu Ying said to Ye Yueqing.

Now that he's here, of course he doesn't just take a look and leave. In the next period of time, he will personally build this barracks.
