From the civil servants to the generals in charge, no one will really train the sergeants according to this drill.

Shanxi Zhenxiwei and Ningwuwei were stationed in the interior. Since the early Ming Dynasty, there were few military affairs, and the hereditary guard officers were almost ignorant of military affairs.

During the Jiajing period, Japanese pirates were rampant along the coast, and the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers of the guards was not as good as that of the peasants in the village. The role of setting up guards in the early Ming Dynasty was almost lost.

Based on the need to fight against the Japanese, Emperor Jiajing had to accept the suggestion of the famous general Qi Jiguang and others to recruit soldiers in limited guards across the country.

At the beginning of the recruiting, several troops with extremely strong combat effectiveness appeared, and the Zhejiang Qi Family Army was the most well-known.

Qi's army used recruits to pacify the coastal groups of Japanese and repel Alta's invasion of the country. They fought thousands of battles and were never defeated. They were known as the strongest army at that time.

Qi Jin, the general of the Yongwei Battalion, is the orthodox descendant of the Qi family.

However, the recruitment is only temporarily open, and there is no useful capital except for a few strong troops that are short-lived.

At the end of the Jiajing Dynasty, there was no written effective official system for recruiting soldiers, and military officers from all over the country followed suit, and the local government had no management methods and means.

In the past 50 years, there has been no other Qi family army in the past [-] years. The combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers raised by recruits is limited, but the management of guards and recruits has become more chaotic.

It can be said that the coexistence of the recruitment system and the military system, but the failure to introduce written regulations was the last straw for the complete collapse of the guard system.

Now in many places, there is even a situation where power is intertwined, one person has multiple managements, and one place has multiple managements. These are all situations that Zhu Xieyuan has learned.

It can be said that the current situation of military settlements in various guards in the Central Plains is very complicated and extremely difficult to deal with.

This was the case in Zhenxiwei. The hereditary officers of the local guard recruited soldiers while retaining the army. They had great power, but they failed to limit the decline in the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers.

The life of military households is still miserable, and the battalions formed by recruits do not have fundamental military pay and jurisdiction.

After the initial glory of the Qi family army, the battalion quickly retreated into a weak brigade whose combat effectiveness was only slightly higher than that of the guards.

It was high in the sun, but Yu Wei, the commander of Zhenxiwei, was still sleeping soundly with his arms around a naked woman.

At this time, Zhu Xieyuan came to a plaque on horseback.

"Zhenxiwei."

These three big characters are very vigorous and powerful, but Zhu Xieyuan sneered, Zhenxiwei, Zhenxiwei, what is the town now?

Now Zhenxiwei is not only unable to Zhenxi, but has become a cancer in Taiyuan Mansion!

Looking under the plaque again, Zhu Xieyuan felt even more chilled.

In such a big Town West Guard, there was actually only one sentry in front of the door, wearing tattered mandarin duck clothes and holding a wooden spear, dozing off in front of the door.

"Hey, wake up, wake up."

Without waiting for his order, the accompanying Taiyuan guerrilla general He Renlong got off his horse and stepped forward to wake up the sentry.

The sentinel woke up startled, looked around with ignorant eyes, and quickly locked his eyes on the group of people in front of him.

At first, the sentry was still sullen, and after rubbing his eyes to see clearly the armor the visitor was wearing, he knelt down in panic.

"President, Governor..."

He Renlong picked him up and asked:

"Isn't it time for training, people? What about you people from Zhenxiwei, why did you see you as a sentry all the way?"

The sentinel was already afraid of being discovered by the governor because he was fishing, and He Renlong's appearance was even more rough and ugly. He was so scared that he didn't dare to answer after some sharp questions.

This time, Zhu Xieyuan came to deal with important matters, not to follow a small soldier to question the teacher. He took a look at He Renlong and motioned for him to come in.

So, He Renlong threw the sentry aside and jumped into the gate of Zhenxiwei.

The inside of Zhenxiwei was the same as the outside, there was no officer and soldier on duty or patrol at all, a lot of knives and guns were scattered in the empty courtyard, and even the war drums were knocked to the ground, which made it unbearable to look at.

The military flag of Daming was floating in the air, but it was so rolled that only a pole could be seen.

Zhu Xieyuan walked quietly in the yard. Although everyone was familiar with the scene in front of them, they still found it difficult to accept.

Zhenxi Guard is one of the largest guards in Shanxi, with more than [-] soldiers.

If there is a war, it should be able to support Datong from the north and stabilize the place inward, but now you see, what can the majestic Zhenxiwei hold?

I'm afraid that if a group of refugees rush in, they will scare the crap out of these so-called officers and soldiers of Ming Dynasty!

He Renlong widened his eyes and said:

"What about people?"

"The more than 2 people in Zhenxiwei, where are they all dead?"

After walking for an unknown amount of time, I saw a few officers and soldiers in iron armor sharpening their knives and laughing in a small garden.

What these people do can be understood at a glance.

This is exactly the consequence of recruiting soldiers. They are independent from the imperial court and obey the orders of military officers from all over the country, but they are paid several times the salary of the officers and soldiers of the guards.

The servants are "dead soldiers" privately raised by military officers from all over the country according to the recruitment system. All of them are armed to the teeth, and they have been skilled in battle for a long time.

The fighting power of the guards was comparable to that of the Nine Borders Sharp Soldiers, more than ten times that of the officers and soldiers of the general guards, but in fact, the names of these people were not on the roster of the Ministry of War.

These servants were sitting and joking, with steel knives gleaming in their hands, and iron armor on their bodies, obviously not easy to get along with.

He Renlong walked over aggressively, grabbed one and asked:

"Where is Zhenxiwei's commander?"

Chapter 622 Zhu Xieyuan has made a move

"Yu Wei!"

"You will enjoy it?"

He Renlong kicked open the door, leaving a servant on the ground, looking at the commander of Zhenxiwei who was still sleeping, with a sneer on his face.

After all, Yu Wei was a commander. He was still sleeping soundly the last moment, but he woke up in a flash, and directly touched the knife beside the bed in his hand.

Seeing the person in front of him, he paid attention to his armor, panicked for the most part, and sneered:

"You little guerrilla general, how dare you break into this envoy's door and be so arrogant?"

He Renlong was not afraid just because the other party was the commander of the guard, he asked:

"Well said, let me ask you, what are the regulations in the infantry drill code?"

"Every guard in the Central Plains has a small training every three days, and a martial arts show every five days." Yu Wei blurted out, and then sneered:

"It's just that I'm the commander, I'm too lazy to get up, can you control me?"

"If you have the heart, I beg you, can you also be a guard commander? You can go and train a Qi family army, punch Xilu and kick Jiannu, okay?"

"Ok?"

He Renlong shook his head, his face seemed to be looking at a dead person, "No, I don't have the ability."

"After all, I don't have the blessings of my ancestors, and my mother's womb is the good luck of Commander Wei."

"What did you say?" Yu Wei was furious, and said angrily:

"Come here, tie up this ignorant little guerrilla, and use it to sacrifice the flag!"

After giving the order for a while, there was no movement from the servants outside the door, and even the one who was thrown into the house also lost the usual arrogance.

He Renlong stepped on the servant and said with a smile:

"Forget it, the servants you recruited are not as good as the Chahar cavalry I fought in the grassland mountains. I can beat two of them with one hand."

Yu Wei was taken aback and asked:

"who are you?"

"Listen well, if you don't want to change your name if you want to sit down, don't change your surname. Under the tent of the Governor of Shanshan, Taiyuan Guerrilla General, He Renlong!"

After all, Yu Wei really looked horrified.

He was so surprised that it wasn't He Renlong's name, but Zhu Xieyuan, Governor of Shanxi Province!

Who is Zhu Xieyuan?The god who was summoned to the platform by the current emperor, first set the southwest and then the east of Liaodong!

This kind of person will definitely be biographed separately in the future.

Zhu Xieyuan has been in Shanshan for more than two years. He said that he was ordered to rectify the guards and farmland, which made the officers of each guard restless.

Now that He Renlong is here, it must be Zhu Xieyuan's instigation.

If it is an ordinary governor, if he disobeys, he will disobey, but Zhu Xieyuan is not an ordinary governor. He is famous, and the whole Ming Dynasty knows it!

It can be said that with Zhu Xieyuan's current prestige in the army, if he rode alone to Zhenxiwei, the soldiers might not be his own.

Zhu Xieyuan raised his arms and shouted that the entire Zhenxiwei soldiers would belong to his tent. That's why the emperor asked him to rectify the military camps in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces.

Because Zhu Xieyuan is here, he is not afraid of the generals jumping over the wall in a hurry.

Now in the entire Ming Dynasty, apart from the emperor, the only one who can have this prestige in the army is Zhu Xieyuan who has repeatedly made outstanding achievements, and even the Marshal of the Nine Sides is convinced of him.

Thinking of this, Yu Wei swallowed his saliva, signaled the woman behind to leave quickly, his face softened, and said:

"So it's General He..."

"I don't know if the Governor called General He over, what is his order?"

"Why, I'm not a small guerrilla now?" He Renlong sneered, "Don't be a general, we can't bear this title."

The other party was obviously a bad visitor, and he was confident, and Yu Wei no longer planned to stick his face to his cold ass, and asked in a deep voice:

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"Good question." He Renlong let go of the servant, "What did the governor come to Shanxi for? Did Commander Yu forget?"

"Rectify the army..." Yu Wei murmured, as if he had thought of something, his face was as ugly as if he had eaten bitter melon.

He Renlong sat on the seat with a golden knife, and asked:

"It's good to think about it. Let's talk about it. Over the years, how much of Zhenxiwei's army is left, and how much has been embezzled by you?"

"The governor is here too? I want to see the governor!"

Seeing Yu Wei's speech, He Renlong sneered and said, "The governor is here, but you don't have to think about seeing him."

Yu Wei was taken aback, "Why?"

He Renlong confronted each other, "Because you are not worthy."

Taking advantage of the time to speak, Yu Wei rushed out of the door, and the cold blade went straight to He Renlong, but the latter didn't take it seriously.

He Renlong was killed all the way by virtue of his military exploits. There is no way for a hereditary general like Yu Wei to compare.

He Renlong even sneered, spread his hands and pinched Yu Wei's wrist, and with a little force, the pain caused him to drop the knife.

Now the one with the knife in his hand is He Renlong.

He weighed the saber, thrust it on the table suddenly, looked at Yu Wei coldly, and said expressionlessly:

"Commander Yu, you don't have to think about running, there are all my people outside."

"Besides, with your two actions, if I really want to kill you, do you think you really have a chance?"

Hearing this, Yu Wei's face turned pale.

Judging from the hand strength and reaction speed just now, he was indeed no match for this He Renlong, no wonder he was brought by Zhu Xieyuan's side.

He Renlong glanced aside and said with a smile:

"Then girl, don't think about it, you can't run away either."

"After I deal with this guy later, you still have to serve me. If you feel comfortable serving me, I may save your dog's life and let you stay with me in the future."

……

Zhu Xieyuan didn't go to Yu Wei, not because He Renlong said he was unworthy, but because he didn't have so much time.

Zhenxiwei is just the first step, the next step is Ningwuwei under the control of the Zhou family.

In the past two years, Zhu Xieyuan has already found out the hereditary generals in charge of the guards in Shanxi and Shanxi.

The migratory locusts in Shandong also told him that they could not delay any longer.

Zhu Xieyuan still couldn't believe it, this was all the troops Zhenxiwei could muster right now.

Zhu Xieyuan's heart was bleeding when he saw the military book carefully brought up by Mr. Qian.

6000 people were present, and [-] people were missing.

These 6000 people were supposed to be the officers and soldiers of the imperial court to quell the chaos in the West, but now they are all gone.
