I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 241 Beijing camp establishment (please subscribe)

"It's a good thing. Mr. Huang just said that His Majesty will come to inspect the Beijing Camp in a few days, and he also named Yongyi Camp and Wuxiong Camp to visit. Therefore, Chen Liangbi specially sent someone over to tell us to prepare well and not to fall behind."

"What? Your Majesty is really coming, which is indeed a great thing!"

When Zhu Daoxin and Zhu Daoxin heard this, they immediately stood up in surprise.

The two of them had gone on a private visit with the emperor incognito last year. Although they were silent along the way, they seemed to be familiar with each other.

But after coming out of Licaolan, they had fewer and fewer opportunities to show their faces in front of the emperor. Now they heard that the emperor wanted to visit the Yongyi Camp and Wuxiong Camp when he inspected the Beijing Camp. Isn't this an opportunity for them to show their faces? .

"Why are you lying to me? Since Mr. Huang said it, it can't be false. I also heard that not only the emperor is coming this time, but also British nobles will follow. You two, be prepared, maybe We need to perform martial arts on the school field."

Zhu Daoxin and Guo Zuoguang looked at each other, unable to hide the joy in their eyes.

"Then we must be well prepared. Since we are bringing the British Duke and others here, I am afraid that His Majesty thinks that we can take advantage of it."

Zhu Daoxin calmed down for a moment. The greater the opportunity, the greater the risk. If this matter was messed up, it would be a slap in His Majesty's face.

"Yes, I think so too. We are role models. Now many Hou Bo's families are very jealous when they see us entering the grass field and then being assigned to the Beijing camp.

My father kept mentioning this to me during this period, saying that many people came to ask if there was any trick to get into the grass field. It was really the most ridiculous thing in the world. "

When Sun Xinji heard this, he started to complain. His promotion to the boss was a little too fast, which led to a lot of jealous people. Many of them said that they had benefited from the experience of entering the grassland field earlier, so they wanted to try it out to see if they could give themselves something. The family also wants to be rich, but it's not that easy.

"Haha, we can't afford to be early if we don't have any benefits. We haven't seen the benefits of being able to enter the Beijing camp. We don't care about anything else. We should do our best and not embarrass His Majesty."

Guo Zuoguang sneered at these people. He looked down upon them at that time and felt that they were just playing with the emperor. When the emperor got tired of them on a whim, they would be useless.Now it is found to be profitable, just like flies sniffing the meat to get a piece of the pie.

In his heart, he looked down upon these people and felt aggrieved for the emperor.

Different positions lead to different perspectives on problems.

Although Zhu Daoxin and others complained against the emperor, Zhu Youxiao felt that it was quite good. Doesn't this mean that his military training in Licaolan Field was effective.

Inside the Dongnuang Pavilion in the Forbidden City.

Zhu Youzheng is discussing with the British Duke Zhang Weixian and Taining Marquis Chen Liangbi about military training in the future.

"Before the results are released, I will go to the southern suburb of Jingying to have a look, otherwise I will be busy again."

It has been a month since Zhu Youxiao's wedding.

Although he was newlywed, Zhu Youxiao did not indulge in it, but he became more radiant after marriage. Fortunately, there were no major events this month, which made him live a more comfortable life.

"Your Majesty, please do some statistics and select more than 20 people to follow me. It's up to you, Mr. British, to choose the candidates. Choose carefully."

"The minister obeys the order."

The British officialdom has been ups and downs for so many years, but one can still understand the implication.

The emperor asked him to choose carefully. Of course, he couldn't ask for just anyone. He had to find a few who already had children serving in the capital camp, and a few people who had been punished for the turmoil in the capital camp and now wanted to repent. It shows that His Majesty has the overall situation in mind and does not care about past grievances.

"By the way. Didn't Xu Guangqi recommend a Western instructor to me last time? I heard from Sun Yuanhua that this Western instructor has made great achievements in artillery, so let him come too, and I'll take a good look at him."

"According to the order."

Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction. He gave Chen Liangbi five months to rectify the Beijing camp. Now he has filled the Beijing camp with many of his own people who came from the grass field. He believes that the combat strength can definitely be guaranteed, although there is no It has been tested in actual combat, but it is fast.I will soon use them to develop my ambitions.

A few days ago, Luo Sigong went to the palace to report the news, saying that the Jinyi Guards had found traces of Xu Hongru in Caozhou Mansion, saying that the White Lotus Sect there was widely spread, and that they were secretly preparing to plot a rebellion. Since the two leaders of the White Lotus Sect, Wang Haoxian, followed Xu Hongru has been found, so it's time to send someone to take care of them all, so as to save time and cause trouble.

"Chen Liangbi, you must be well prepared. If something goes wrong again this time, don't blame me for punishing you." Upon hearing this, Chen Liangbi immediately showed a determined look, bowed his head and promised:
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that although the Beijing Camp is not fully equipped, the training of the core Zhenwu Army and Yaowu Army has been completed.

Especially the Fenwu Army, with Huang Degong, Sun Yingyuan and others centrally commanding and training, and with the support of cannons and Krug artillery from the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, its combat power has greatly increased.The other Wu Yi Army, Wu Xiong Army, etc. are also undergoing training, and the results are obvious. "

Zhu Youxiao nodded. The current Beijing camp system is very different from the past. It no longer follows the three-camp system, but a military-camp system.

That is to say, there are six armies under the Beijing Camp, namely Zhenwu, Yaowu, Wuyi, Wuxiong, Fenwu and Xuanwu.

Each army has three to four battalions, each battalion has 500 men. The number of a corps is between [-] and [-]. Each battalion is equipped with its own artillery team, and each corps has its own artillery team. All have cavalry.

The eighteen Krupp cannons controlled by each battalion will be used individually if a battalion is fighting. If a corps is fighting, the artillery team will be assembled. A total of more than 50 to more than 70 Krupp cannons will be used together.

This number is enough, but Zhu Youxiao, who has a phobia of insufficient firepower, is still lamenting that if the current production capacity cannot keep up, Zhu Youxiao even wants to equip each army with an artillery battalion of 2000 people, coupled with Fifty B-type Krupp heavy artillery. They said nothing before the battle. They fired a few salvos first. I wonder who can withstand this kind of dimensionality-reducing blow.

However, this is the configuration of Krupp guns under ideal conditions. It is limited to the Tongzhou Firearms Factory's production capacity of forty guns per month, which not only supplies the Beijing camp, but also Liaodong, Jiubian and Southwest. This quantity is completely insufficient.

Therefore, even if Jingying, as the central army, only collected a hundred artillery pieces in these five months, and equipped them with the most elite Zhenwu and Yaowu armies, most of the current officers of these two armies are from Licaolanchang. As for those who come out, as a student of the emperor, it is normal for them to receive some preferential treatment.

"That's good. Then I will take a closer look at it and let them prepare well. By the way, the military preparation academy has been decided. How is the current location selection going?"

The British Duke Zhang Weixian was responsible for this matter. Before he came, he had guessed that the emperor was concerned about this matter and had already made plans in his mind, so he immediately handed over his hand and said:
"Your Majesty, I am currently discussing with the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Office, and have initially selected the location of the Armed Forces Hall. This location is located twenty miles west of the capital. It was originally one of the training grounds of the Shenji Battalion, so the terrain is open. There are many schools and grounds, and many existing halls and military buildings can be used directly, which can reduce a lot of costs."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, the efficiency of British public affairs is still acceptable.

"That's very good. Our Ming Dynasty was originally well-armed, but now it has suffered successive defeats against the Jianlu and Mongols. It is very difficult to fight the war. In my opinion, it has been peaceful for a long time and the armed forces are weakened, so I have to pick it up."

This military training hall is exactly what it means. Not only can generals, nobles, military households, and martial arts students be admitted in the future, but the content is also very complete. When the time comes, the best people in the school will be admitted and the mediocre ones will be eliminated. There will always be some talents. "

Zhang Weixian and Chen Liangbi agreed very much with this, and they knew that the emperor still had something to say.

That is to say, the honorary can use this to re-enter the army. In the past, although the honorary was in charge of the Fifth Army Governor's Office, since the Yingzong Tumubao Incident, the power of the Fifth Army Governor's Office has been continuously eroded by the Ministry of War. Now it is almost equivalent to a false position without real power. , all military deployment appointments and dismissals belong to the Ministry of War and the Cabinet.

Therefore, although the Honorable Lord seems to have a position and real power, serving in the Beijing Camp and the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, the original Jingying Camp looked like a bird, and it was impossible to support Adou. The Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army was suppressed, resulting in the Honorary's high status. But he was completely incapable of fighting civil servants.

Fortunately, the emperor took care of the civil servants and beat them several times to make them docile. On the other hand, he reorganized the capital camp, first training troops in the grass field, and then preparing a military preparation school to allow the nobles' sons to train and lead the army.

This also made the nobles understand the emperor's intention to support them, and their enthusiasm increased a lot.

"What your Majesty is saying is that the army is currently deployed in Liaodong and Southwest, and the imperial court is in urgent need of generals. If we can enrich the capital camp with people from the Military Preparation School, and then supplement it with blunderbuss and Krupp cannon, it will not be a big concern to build captives and chieftains."

When Chen Liangbi heard this, he immediately touted it. As the governor of the Beijing camp, his prestige would increase every time the Beijing camp grew stronger, so he was the most active in this matter.

"Hahaha, I'm waiting. These two places are where soldiers are deployed. I have long wanted to use this good sword in Jingying, but I have to test it."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, other armies cannot guarantee it, but Zhenwu and Yaowu armies have sufficient training. I can assure you with all my heart that these two armies can go to war at any time. Other armies are also stepping up their drills. They are just waiting for the firearms from the Ordnance Bureau." Rest is worth a battle.”

After hearing this, Chen Liangbi immediately promised that he also wanted to test the results. If he could really go to the battlefield, he could also gain some military exploits.

"Okay, okay, then this matter is settled. If it doesn't work then, don't blame me for punishing you."

Hearing Chen Liangbi boasting about Haikou, even Zhu Youxiao burst into laughter. It seemed that the Beijing camp had indeed achieved results, otherwise Chen Liangbi would not have been so arrogant.

"In the future, there will not be too few military personnel in the imperial court. There is only one person in the Military Aircraft Department, Shen Guan. Although Shen Guan is smart, he is not good at military affairs, so I asked the British prince to join the Military Aircraft Department. How have you been cooperating with Shen Guan recently?"
