little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 248 Military Parade
After entering the middle of May, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Although there are rumors of the current prince's militarism circulating everywhere in the market, the various versions of the news are not inferior to the hot weather, but as time goes by In the past, gradually, there was no sound at all.Time has proved that rumors are rumors after all, and nothing has changed. The people who have settled down have no time to worry about the ups and downs in the court. They only care about how much taxes will increase this year, and whether the harvest in the fields will decrease much. , As for whether Zhang Dou defeated Li in the court, or Li Dou defeated the king's basket of bad things, it had nothing to do with them at all.

The three major battalions in the capital seemed to be formed overnight. Officials with good intentions went to the northern garrison camp to see them. It is said that they all became speechless after returning.Of course, more people who stared at the accounting books of the Ministry of Accounts were also disappointed. It turned out that the prince's saying that he would not use a penny of the treasury was really not a lie.These facts surfaced one by one, so that Yu Shenxing, who had been holding his breath and waiting to see the joke, had nothing to say but stared blankly, and the crowd of officials who were waiting to make trouble with their ears and eyes wide open were completely out of control. Turned into frost-beaten eggplant, suddenly lost all energy.

Just when many people were delicate and worried about gains and losses, Zhu Changluo and Ye He, the protagonists of the incident, appeared outside the camp in the north of the city.

Sun Chengzong, who got the news, was waiting outside the camp gate a long time ago. When he saw a group of people approaching from afar, Sun Chengzong ordered the left and right sides to get off their horses quickly and wait by the side of the road.After Zhu Changluo got out of the car, he quickly stepped forward and stretched out his hands to pull Sun Chengzong up, and said with a smile: "Teacher, you know that I don't care about this."

Sun Chengzong smiled happily and said, "Your Highness is polite, but I don't dare to be a humble minister." He nodded to Ye He who was standing quietly behind Zhu Changluo, and Ye He clasped his fists as a greeting to each other.

After several people saw the ceremony, Sun Chengzong took the lead and led everyone to the barracks. Zhu Changluo was not polite. He laughed and said: "Teacher is as learned as Yuan Hai, and he has a strategy in mind. The situation of the three major camps of the capital is the result of your painstaking efforts."

The camp in the north of the city was empty. Although it was almost summer, the mountain wind was howling and howling, making people's clothes flutter, making them feel chilly.

Sun Chengzong, who was commended, did not show any complacency on his face. Instead, he restrained his smile and said seriously: "I really dare not take credit for it. If I say meritorious service, no one except the crown prince can afford it!" Before Zhu Changluo could speak, Sun Chengzong With a wave of his hand, he said firmly, "I think when I first came to the three major camps of the capital, this place was not a barracks, but rather..." I was at a loss for words for a moment... so bad that it was indescribable?When Zhu Changluo was stunned, Ye He suddenly interjected: "...it seems to be Renyi Village!"

Sun Chengzong clapped his hands, laughed and said, "It's not bad at all, it's not worse than Renyizhuang back then."

I hadn't heard the name Renyizhuang for a long time, and when I first heard it, it seemed like time had turned around, and I suddenly remembered that Sun Chengzong first met in Renyizhuang, thinking of all the things that day, I couldn't help being fascinated, my heart was a little excited, and I said casually: "How can it be so bad? "

"Why not, what are the three major battalions, looking at the tens of thousands of soldiers, they are just a group of farmers waiting to plant the land!"

Zhu Changluo knew that this was because the Ming Dynasty had always implemented the system of raising soldiers from the fields. After a long time, there were no more soldiers raised and raised, and only a bunch of farmers who could farm the land remained.But once an enemy situation comes, expecting the peasants to fight is simply the biggest joke in the world. "It's really stupid. If the national defense of a country is terminally ill, the country is not far from decay."

For the prince's sudden repentance, if others heard it, they might be scared out of their wits, but these words entered Sun Chengzong's heart in an instant!Instead of being surprised, I re-examined Zhu Changluo, feeling somewhat relieved after being astonished... With such a wise master, even if the country is rotten to the bottom, I believe it will definitely get better little by little.

Seeing that Zhu Changluo's face was pale, Ye He, who was in a bad mood for a moment, frowned: "Is it a little cold, you are not in good health yet, you'd better enter the camp quickly."

With the large tent of the Chinese army close at hand, Ye He's words reminded Sun Chengzong, and said repeatedly: "That's right, let's talk after we enter the camp."

Suddenly there was a burst of scolding in the distance, and the loud voice could still be heard very clearly even though it was far away: "...you cowards, this is not enough? I will get up and practice hard for my mother. If you dare to be lazy, don’t even think about two taels of silver this month! When money is so easy to get, if you don’t have the ability, go home and eat scum! I’ll keep my ugly words in mind. During this month’s rehearsal, we If the Fifth Army Battalion loses to the Xiaoqi Battalion, I'll see if I don't punish you to death."

This person has a long spirit and is so proud that every word makes him roar like thunder on dry land.Who the hell is this guy?Zhu Changluo looked at Sun Chengzong curiously. The latter smiled and was about to speak, but Ye He raised his eyebrows and suddenly raised his voice: "Liu Dahunzi, you are so loud, I haven't been here for a few days, you How dare you say that the Fifth Army Battalion is better than the General Xiao's Battalion?" After speaking, he let out a long laugh, his body moved, and he was already far away.

It's been a long time since I saw Ye He so bright and cheerful. Looking at his back that disappeared like smoke, Zhu Changluo couldn't help being happy, and at the same time was a little curious about that loud voice again: "Who is this bastard Liu?"

"His surname is Liu and his name is Ting. He was nicknamed Liu Dahunzi. He can wield a [-]-pound sword like a tiger. He was a captain in the original three battalions. I saw that he trained hard and was brave and aggressive, so I made an exception. Promoted him to be the deputy general of the Fifth Army Battalion."

Didn't realize that when Zhu Changluo heard the name Liu Ting, his eyes instantly turned into a bottomless deep well, he nodded and said: "Make the best use of everything, and make the best use of people. The three major battalions are in the hands of the teacher. Sure enough, there is no choice." Wrong person."

"Your Highness, if you say that again, I will be ashamed." Hearing this, Sun Chengzong's face suddenly became serious, and he stretched out his hand to point around: "It is said that it is true to raise soldiers for a thousand days, but to use them for a while. To make people work hard, we must put our characters first... When I was first ordered to come here, I found that the soldiers in the camp couldn't even eat enough. At that time, each person was [-] copper coins per month, and even the cooking utensils in the camp were robbed. People are sold, soldiers can't just use the hundred dollars to go out to buy food; the rice they pay is all replaced by miscellaneous grains, to put it bluntly, it's better than feeding livestock."

Zhu Changluo knew what Sun Chengzong said, but knowing it didn't mean he wasn't angry.His face sank slightly, a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth, and his voice was cold: "Some people just don't see well. We have worked hard to rebuild the barracks here, but the memorials in Wenyuan Pavilion are full of cases, and they unanimously impeach me for militarism. Fortunately, my father Send someone to suppress it, otherwise I don’t know how many twists and turns will happen.”

Knowing that he said it easily, Sun Chengzong knew that even with the emperor's support, things would never be easy.

Zhu Changluo smiled confidently, with the determination in his eyes to move forward: "Teacher, don't worry, just because those moths can't eat me down, everything is caused by my not using the treasury to transfer money. Since the switch to using internal funds to support soldiers, it is natural for them to cut off their money. Encouraging jealousy and hatred, let’s put it aside for now, and when I draw my hand away to relieve my breath, I will let them know what it means to eat it, and just spit it out with all the profits."

The voice was calm and indifferent, but there was an inexplicable arrogance rushing through the night. It seemed that the other party had already thought it through carefully. Sun Chengzong's original worry had already been blown away with the wind: "Those who are capable can do anything. Your Highness's methods are wonderful. I will wait and see." .”

The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly, and when the sergeant opened the tent door, Zhu Changluo, who had entered half of his body, suddenly changed his mind: "Teacher, let's go to the school grounds to have a look."

As if he had seen through his thoughts a long time ago, he reached out and took a cloak from a soldier, and put it on Zhu Changluo with his own hands. Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "The prince is coming, and the sun and the moon are shining. All the soldiers are looking forward to seeing Your Highness. The long-drought land is looking forward to rain, if you want to see soldiers, you dare not invite them, but stick to your wishes."

Sun Cheng was right, when he learned that the prince was coming, the soldiers who lined up urgently were all extremely excited without exception.Since the establishment of the camp, there have been many discussions about the prince after training. They don't know anything else. Sun Chengzong only told him one thing: it is because of this prince that they are now paid two taels of silver per month. Available!
What is the concept of two taels of silver?During the Wanli period, ten taels of silver was enough for a family of five to live comfortably.A soldier's 24 taels of silver a year is enough to make the family live a very rich life.When recruiting soldiers, no one dared to believe the generous conditions. Most of them entered the camp with the attitude of giving it a try. After a day, they discovered that the training here is really terrifying and can kill people... No The fake ones kill people, but the real ones kill people.

Of course, many people couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to leave. Sun Chengzong didn't stop him at all, he just left a sentence: You can leave, but don't regret it if you leave.Some people left, but too many people stayed, one was because of the money that had not been received, and the other was because the food in the barracks was really good.

A month later, when the gleaming silver was placed in their hands, there was a heavy sense of solidity in their hands, which made all the tossing soldiers with half-lived lives shed tears of excitement.From then on, no matter how hard the training was, no matter how devil-like tossing, for these soldiers who had already ignited their blood, it was all five words floating from the sky: ... that's nothing.

They know that everything today comes from one person, that is the current prince!

There were bursts of pine waves in the distance, the sun was shining, and the hunting wind was blowing. On the school field, Zhu Changluo appeared in front of the soldiers with his hands behind his back. His eyes moved away from the excited faces, only to hear Sun Chengzong yell loudly: "Brothers, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, let's all meet and greet."

I have heard his name like thunder for a long time, but it is better to meet him than to be famous. When he heard that the person in front of him was the prince, although the soldiers below were still standing tall and motionless, their eyes could not be concealed from others. Without exception, they were all surprised and stunned. The prince who is like a god who has thought about it thousands of times is really the handsome and picturesque young man in front of him?
Liu Ting, who was standing at the front, looked and looked secretly. He really couldn't believe his eyes, and suddenly remembered the storyteller's words, "A person cannot be judged by his appearance, and sea water cannot be measured." In an instant, Mao Sai suddenly opened his nine orifices, and roared loudly: "All the troops listen to the order and have seen the prince Qiansui." "

All the soldiers raised their arms and shouted, "His Royal Highness is a thousand years old!"

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers roared in unison, comparable to thunderclaps, like landslides and landslides, and the sound of turbulent waves crashing on the shore spread far away, and even the turbulent wind from the pines in the distance was suppressed silently.Zhu Changluo's expression is awe-inspiring and firm, like a bamboo in the wind and a pine in the snow, with a unique style in his awe-inspiring majesty.

After the voice calmed down, Zhu Changluo looked around with his eyes, and his voice was like a golden voice: "Everyone, can you eat enough in this camp? Can you dress warmly?"

On the huge school field, nearly a hundred thousand soldiers stared at each other. They thought that the crown prince was going to say some big-sounding big words, but he didn't expect to utter such a few words. He was silent for a while, and he didn't know how to answer them.But it is undeniable that the words His Royal Highness said are really... so fucking sweet.

Seeing that the scene was about to be cold, Liu Ting was anxious and took a big step forward: "Thanks to your highness, we all eat well here, dress warmly, and get two taels of silver every month!" His voice It spread far away like ringing a bell, causing the soldiers to burst into laughter. Liu Ting's dark face was a little feverish, and suddenly he stared and shouted: "Don't laugh, I'm not wrong!"

Unexpectedly, the more he behaved like this, the louder the soldiers laughed, but the tall and straight figure remained the same, and no one changed at all.Zhu Changluo was delighted to see it in his eyes, nodded, and said in a loud voice: "It's very good that you have enough to eat, wear warm clothes, have money, and support your family! But don't forget a word, raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while." , now Daming raises you in order to let you defend your family and country, drive away the enemy and captives, if one day you are sent to battle to kill the enemy, when you are required to shed your blood, let me ask you a question, I am afraid you are not afraid!"

At that time, everyone on the school grounds was solemn, and suddenly a thunderstorm burst into the sky, shouting: "Defending the home and defending the country, the responsibility lies, not afraid of life and death, bravely kill the enemy!"

Zhu Changluo was emotional, took three steps, and said loudly: "Okay, this is our good man of Ming Dynasty! I will give you the best equipment, the best weapons, remember what I said today... there will be bloodshed in war , I can’t guarantee your life or death, but I can guarantee that your parents will have a good old age, and your wives and children will be taken care of by them!” His gaze was as bright as a star, he looked around at the soldiers, and suddenly stretched out his finger to the front: There is no such thing as a man, and a man should be self-reliant! In the future, in the Golden Palace, I will personally give a golden crown and a purple robe to the most outstanding warrior among you!"

The blood of the soldiers has been completely ignited by these words, and the excited roars come and go like ten thousand horses galloping.At this moment, in their eyes and hearts, the young prince Zhu Changluo stood with his hands behind his back, more dazzling than the scorching sun that cast thousands of golden lights from the sky, and was as sacred and inviolable as a descended god.

Standing behind him was Sun Chengzong with a long beard and a smile. His calmness, which was always invisible before the collapse of Mount Tai, was completely welcomed by his generosity and excitement, and he was also convinced by his determination.

Not far away, Ye He stared at him quietly, the light shining in his eyes was brighter and more intense than the sun in the sky.
