It’s strange that they, who used to eat and drink lavishly, became much more energetic after ten days.

At noon, several riders on fast horses galloped into the camp and went straight to the reviewing stand before they reined in their horses.

One of the knights jumped off his horse and bowed to Zhu Youxiao.

"Your Majesty, Lu Xiangsheng, the prefect of the Ming Dynasty, is here to see you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youxiao stared at him and looked him over carefully.

Lu Xiangsheng, 27 years old, is fair-skinned and thin, but his arms are exceptionally strong.

His eyes are different from those of ordinary people, one is big and the other is small.

According to legend, this kind of pupil is called androgynous eyes. People with androgynous eyes are calm, have deep thoughts, and are good at strategy.

The most famous person with this kind of pupil appearance is Kang Mazi of the Qing Dynasty.

Zhu Youxiao looked at him with eyes full of admiration.

This is what a man of the year is like!

In just a few years, they trained the Tianxiong Army that could rival the Guanning Iron Cavalry!

In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, he led 5,000 Tianxiong troops to directly fight against 30,000 Tartars!

Wear mourning clothes to fight and never retreat until death!

This is Lu Xiangsheng!

Zhu Youxiao took two steps forward and held Lu Xiangsheng's arm.

"No need to be polite, just stand up!"

"I am deeply terrified."

Suddenly being so close to the emperor, Lu Xiangsheng seemed a little shy.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and patted him on the shoulder a few times: "Hahaha, don't be afraid. I will rely on you more in the future!"

Lu Xiangsheng paused when he heard this, and asked awkwardly, "I wonder what your majesty wants me to do?"

Zhu Youxiao pointed at the soldiers of the Beijing Camp in the distance and said, "I want you to help me reorganize the Beijing Camp. Are you sure?"

what?

Lu Xiangsheng's eyes suddenly widened, and his androgynous eyes became more obvious.

He swallowed and bowed in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, are you asking me to reorganize the Beijing camp?"

"That's right!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded.

"Perhaps you won't believe it, but I know you better than you do!"

"With your abilities, being a prefect is really a waste of your talents."

"Come to the Beijing Camp, I will let you do whatever you want!"

A person's growth may be accumulated slowly, but at this time, it was only two years before Lu Xiangsheng established the Tianxiong Army.

With his talent, he could make up for the accumulation of these two years!

Lu Xiangsheng was stunned.

He couldn't imagine it!

A few days ago, he was still looking for a lost rooster for a commoner, and today, he is going to take charge of an army?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"

He stuttered and didn't say the rest of the words.

He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to do it well!

He was afraid he wasn't qualified!

This is the Beijing Camp!

The most elite army of the Ming Dynasty!

He is only 27 years old. How can he be in charge?

Seeing his expression changing back and forth, Zhu Youxiao could understand his mood at the moment and comforted him with a smile.

"Don't worry too much, I'll be watching you in the palace!"

"Old Commander Sun has just taken over as the Minister of War. You can ask him for advice on how to lead troops. I believe he will not keep anything to himself on this matter."

"Also, Boya is now the governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces. He will stay and help you for some time."

As he spoke, he pointed at Sun Chuanting who was standing beside him.

Lu Xiangsheng was stunned!

He simply couldn't believe that a mere prefect with no background like him could be so trusted by the emperor!

General Sun, he knew very well who he was talking about with these four words!

The old commander, Sun Chengzong, who once built a 200-li defense line in Ningjin and led an army of 110,000 to keep the Jurchens out of Shanhaiguan!

A scholar can use his pen to bring peace to the world, and a warrior can ride on horseback to decide the outcome of the world!

It seems that it is not an exaggeration to describe him in this way!

He is the emperor's imperial teacher today!

His wide-open eyes gradually returned to normal, but something crystal clear overflowed from them.

If he remains reserved in the face of such courtesy, he would be ungrateful!

"Pfft!"

Lu Xiangsheng fell to his knees and kowtowed three times.

"I, your Majesty, will obey your orders, even if it means death!"

"Hahaha, good!"

"Lu Guancao, please stand up quickly!"

Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied and reached out to help him up again.

Lu Xiangsheng is in charge of the Beijing camp, and only he can feel at ease!

Chapter 20 The officials of the Ming Dynasty are so damn rich!

That evening, Zhu Youxiao had a banquet prepared to personally welcome Lu Xiangsheng.

For this, Lu Xiangsheng was so moved that he burst into tears.

During the banquet, Zhu Youxiao asked someone to invite Sun Chengzong and introduced the two of them.

For ten whole days, nothing that happened in the Beijing camp could be spread.

The families of military heroes who paid silver were also ordered to keep silent by the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Therefore, the officials in the court only knew that the emperor was staying in the Beijing camp these days, but they didn't know what he was doing.

When Sun Chengzong learned about what had happened in the past few days, a hint of approval appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty's move was a bit rash, but it was handled appropriately."

"Where are those military honors now?"

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Teacher, don't worry. They are all staying in the Northern Pacification Office now."

"I will only let them go home once the Beijing camp is reorganized and on track."

Sun Chengzong stroked his beard and nodded, "This way, we won't have to worry about anything."

The banquet is said to be a welcoming party, but it is not entirely a welcoming party.

During the meal, Zhu Youxiao talked about some military training subjects that he had learned in his previous life.

Such as formations, tactics, bombing and so on.

Of course, there are also some treatments that only special forces are qualified to enjoy, such as hellish devilish training.

After listening to a few words, Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting hurriedly interrupted Zhu Youxiao and asked someone to bring him paper and pen. Like good students, they listened and took notes.

Sun Chengzong nodded secretly beside him. In his opinion, these things were extremely practical!

After all, he was a veteran of many battles, and he could see the meaning behind these subjects just from Zhu Youxiao's description.

"Yes, if this formation is practiced well, it will greatly improve the military appearance and discipline!"

"Let the soldiers engrave the general's orders into their minds and follow them, only then can we win every battle!"

"And there's battlefield bandaging. Once you get injured on the battlefield, it's the same as being dead. If every soldier can learn it, it can reduce at least 70% of the casualties!"

"You know, of those injured soldiers, few died from excessive bleeding. Most of them died because their wounds were not treated in time, causing them to worsen!"

"One of my personal guards was shot in the arm by an arrow, not even breaking the bone. However, the wound worsened and he had a high fever. He only lasted two days before he was burned to death!"

Having said that, he quietly wiped his eyes and changed the subject.

"Your Majesty, were these really taught to you by Taizu himself?"

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said with a look of longing.

"The great ancestor said that a true king's army should be soldiers who care about their country and the world!"

"To the outside world, be brave and fearless!"

“No matter how powerful the enemy is, we will defend every inch of land under our feet even if we have to fight to the last man!”

"Internally, treat the people like your parents!"

"I will never take a single needle or thread from the people, and I will never covet power or sex and oppress the people. I will always put the people in my heart!"

“That can only be done if they know what they are fighting for.”

"Taizu also said that his soldiers back then were only brave and fearless. He hopes that I can train a true king's army!"

As he said this, Sun Chengzong's eyes also showed a look of longing. He nodded slowly: "I believe it!"

"Such a thought-provoking statement, perhaps only Taizu could have come up with it."

Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng on the side were very excited. Although they had become military generals now, they still had the heart of scholars in their bones.

I’m afraid such a royal teacher can only appear in dreams, right?

Do not!

Now the emperor is wise and enlightened. As long as the monarch and his subjects work together, even if it is just a dream, it will one day become reality!

The two men looked at each other, stood up at the same time, took a few steps back, and bowed deeply to Zhu Youxiao.

"I am not a talented person, but I am willing to train a true king's teacher for your majesty!"

Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied!

This is exactly the result he wanted!

"Come back and sit down. I'll leave it to you. I'm at ease!"

The banquet ended only when the moon reached its zenith.

As Sun Chengzong was old, Zhu Youxiao specially sent several eunuchs to send him back to his mansion.

After leaving the palace, Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting got together outside the palace to discuss military training.

If they have an idea that is in sync, they will write it down as soon as possible.

If there is a dispute, they will argue without hesitation until their faces turn red and their necks become thick.

The two were only seven years apart in age, and when they got angry from an argument, they started hugging and wrestling with each other.

After the fight, they sat on the ground and laughed without caring about their image.

When Zhu Youxiao saw them again the next day, both of them looked like pigs with bruised noses and swollen faces.

As time passed, the Beijing Camp gradually got back on track with Zhu Youxiao's unremitting support.
