The emperor’s decree caused a lot of turmoil in the government and the public.
First of all, he specially formed a young army for his grandson, which showed the emperor’s love for his grandson.
After all, this is something that has never been seen before in all dynasties. It is the first time in the world.
After this decree was issued, all the princelings could be said to be proud and elated, sweeping away the previous gloom and gloom.
The emperor still loves his grandson, so the status of the prince is unbreakable. Even though Prince Han, the prisoner of the country, is so happy now, in fact, the emperor still prefers his highness the grandson in his heart.
Secondly, from now on, this army will be marked with the mark of His Highness the Grand Sun.
No matter what they thought, in the eyes of the courtiers, this was an arrangement made by the emperor for his grandson to successfully ascend the throne.
After all, according to the emperor’s decree, the number of young soldiers is as high as 10,000, and they are all young people selected from various guards in the government army.
These young people are young, strong and highly malleable.
They are similar in age to His Highness Taisun and have a clean family background. As long as they are properly trained, when Taisun ascends the throne and becomes emperor, they can become the backbone of the army and help Taisun control the Ming Dynasty warriors as soon as possible.
So in a sense, these young troops are the direct line troops of His Highness Taisun, the future backbone elites of the Ming Dynasty.
Because of this, many people have become interested.
After all, this is a rare opportunity.
As long as we make good friends with His Highness Taisun in the young army, will there be less glory and wealth in the future？
Suddenly, news about the young army spread throughout the government and the public, and many people were watching and watching.
…
Jiming Temple.
Zhu Di felt a headache after hearing the secret report from King Zhao Zhu Gaosui.
The instigator, Zhu Gaoxu, sat on a small bench, with a bad smile appearing on his lips from time to time.
‘The young army will belong to the vanguard of the government army for the time being, and will be commanded by the right governor Xue Lu.’
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, a little unhappy.
The Fu army is different from the Beijing camp. The Fu army belongs to the garrison system and is responsible for daily garrison and organizational management. The famous three battalions of the Jingshi are responsible for peacetime training and wartime expeditions.
This is like one being a reserve soldier and the other a combat soldier. The status gap between the two is too big.
Zhu Di assigned the young army to the government army. Obviously, he did not have much expectations for the young army from the beginning. It was only used as a reserve force to replenish the main army when there was a shortage.
But in this way, even if the young army is taken to the battlefield alone, it is just cannon fodder, and raising it is a waste of national money.
An army that has never been on the battlefield cannot even be called an army.
They have not experienced the baptism of blood, they are just a bunch of rabble.
Zhu Gaoxu originally wanted to use the military training methods of later generations to create an epoch-making special elite, but with Zhu Di doing this, it seems that this goal will not be achieved! .
‘It’s not dad. As a result, the personnel quality and training level of the young army will not keep up. Then what does the imperial court do with so much money and money to support them？’
‘Now that we have formed a cub army, we should strengthen training to make them become real elites. Otherwise, why form a cub army？ Play house with my eldest nephew？’
Zhu Di glanced at him with some displeasure and said coldly, ‘Second brother, the young army’s combat power cannot be high. Can’t you figure out the reason behind this？’
After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment and then reacted.
Co-author Zhu Laosi is thinking about Big Fatty!
The prince Zhu Gaochi did not have a single soldier in his hands, but the grandson Zhu Zhanji had 10,000 young troops, and their combat power was astonishing.
In the future, when Big Fatty sits on the dragon throne and his son holds a mighty army in his hands, what will he think？
Anyone would be wary of this kind of thing, let alone the emperor!
The emperor is the most generous person, but also the most narrow-minded person.
This matter also involves military power, the most sensitive thing.
Zhu Gaoxu thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, ‘Father, if that’s the case, then let the young army belong to the palace guard.’
‘But dad, you have to agree to leave this young army to your son for training, including your eldest nephew!’
Zhu Di was stunned when he heard this, not quite understanding what he meant.
‘Why do you want to train your own troops？ Do you have to bring Zhanji with you？ What are you planning, you bastard？’
Smiling sincerely, Zhu Gaoxu replied seriously, ‘Dad, my son is also a veteran who has led troops for many years. Training a new army is not a problem.’
After hearing this, Zhu Di nodded subconsciously.
My second son is not very good at fighting, but his fighting skills are among the best in the world.
‘Furthermore, my eldest nephew has always lived a life of fine clothing and fine food, and does not understand the sufferings of the people. Only by allowing him to receive training with the young army officers can he be truly tempered, and only in this way can he gain the support of the young army and gain satisfaction. Approved by the civil and military authorities.’
Zhu Di’s face changed slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, he nodded.
The second child is right. The child Zhanji has indeed never experienced the sufferings of the people.
I remember that when Zhu Di was seven years old, he and his brothers received strict military training.
Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang believed that his seven sons ‘should learn to work hard’, so he ordered Zhu Di and his brothers to wear hemp shoes and wrap their legs in leggings, and go hiking outside the city like soldiers, riding horses seven-tenths of the way and three-tenths of the way. They have to walk, and as they grow older, they have to practice their weapons on the martial arts field from time to time.
Then Zhu Di and other princes and nobles’ children began to study in Dabentang and receive patriarchal education.
At the age of sixteen, after Zhu Di married the Xu family, he was ordered to go to Fengyang, the ‘Central Capital’, with the kings of Qin and Jin to observe the place where his ancestors were founded and to understand how the Ming Dynasty was founded.
Since then, Zhu Di has been sent to Fengyang three times for permanent residence. While training troops and performing martial arts, he also has to fully understand the people’s hardships and civilian life.
This period of life was the internship stage of Zhu Di’s court education, and it was also a beautiful memory that he would never forget.
Compared with himself, Zhanji, this child, is indeed far behind.
So Zhu Gaoxu’s reason, Zhu Di nodded and approved after thinking for a moment.
‘You can’t make a weapon without polishing it. If that’s the case, then I’ll leave this young army to you for training.’
Zhu Gaoxu suddenly smiled, but this smile looked so mean.
Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui spoke at this moment, and said in a deep voice, ‘Father, there are many ministers in the court who intend to send their own children into the young army. You see…’
Zhu Di’s expression changed after hearing this, and his brows furrowed.
The thoughts of these courtiers are naturally not that simple.
In their view, the prince’s young army is a great opportunity for their nephew to have a bright future.
It’s just that most of those noble disciples are useless!
Zhu Dijing was unable to successfully ascend the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. He treated his nobles and relatives favorably, but he developed an arrogant and domineering temperament among his descendants.
On weekdays, he is not afraid of anything, he regards the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty as nothing, he invites friends and companions to do random things, and he is idle and causes trouble. He has become the object of contempt for everyone in the capital.
Stuffing them into the Young Army will also ruin the atmosphere of the Young Army!
Zhu Gaoxu was overjoyed when he heard this and said with a smile, ‘Dad, this is a good thing. If they want to come, let them come. The more the better, the more the merrier.’
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, a little dumbfounded.
‘Those are all dandies, what are you going to do？’
Zhu Gaoxu smiled sinisterly, ‘After all, we are all nobles, so we can’t let them disgrace them!’
Zhu Gaoxu likes the second generation officials and the second generation Xun the most.
The more arrogant and domineering someone is, the more fun it is to torture someone!
