Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

Even if Wang Chengen only controlled part of the army, he still had more than ten thousand troops.

The internal drill army in history, even if Wei Zhongxian was eliminated, the internal drill army continued until the end of the Ming Dynasty, and even participated in several capital defense battles in history, until Chongzhen committed suicide, the capital was broken, and the internal drill army The army officially disappeared into history.

Chapter 94 Changes in the Inner Palace

But now, perhaps because of the early appearance of the Yongwei Battalion, Zhu Youjian has seen what is meant by a real elite, or it may be because of his involvement in the military power of the inner palace. After Wang Chengen mastered part of the internal military, Zhu Youjian immediately Inspection, the result is naturally not satisfactory.

On the grounds that the military rules of the internal military army were corrupted and the generals were scattered, the emperor was furious and ordered the internal military army to be eliminated and reorganized, and selected talented people to be trained in the brave guard camp.

Under such circumstances, even Wei Zhongxian was powerless to refute, so he had to follow orders.

Under such circumstances, the internal military army, which reached more than 4 people, was streamlined and eliminated, and the number of soldiers was almost cut in half.

Even Wei Zhongxian had to hold his nose while watching Wang Chengen rectify the internal military, and then pick people to send to the Yongwei Battalion for training.

Zhu Youjian's operation is obviously a naked conspiracy. Everyone can see that Wei Zhongxian's control over the internal military may have to be greatly discounted.

As far as Li Xiu is concerned, he is not disinterested in these things. He even doesn't agree with the formation of eunuchs. The characteristics of the palace are also doomed to the intrigue of eunuchs. Such existence is extremely unsuitable as a source of soldiers.

If the source of soldiers is suitable, the trained army will naturally be difficult to be effective. However, Li Xiu, as a foreign general, needs to consider taboos about the inner palace affairs, and he is too lazy to express his opinions.

However, even if you stay out of it, it is not without gain. The horse-drawn carts and ox carts full of goods in front of you are the biggest gain.

It can be said that Wei Zhongxian established the Apocalypse Army internally, and he can be called Wei Zhongxian's own son. Let alone the quality of the soldiers, the various weapons and equipment of the internal military army can be said to be the best among all the armies of the Ming Dynasty.

Even in the Yongwei Battalion, although the quality of the soldiers can be called elite, but in terms of weapons and equipment, it is difficult to compare with the internal military army.

Now that the internal military army has been eliminated and reorganized, the number of soldiers has been cut by nearly half. Li Xiu naturally took the extra weapons and equipment into his arms unceremoniously, and accumulated a wave of rich wealth for the weak family of the Yongwei Battalion.

"General Li, you are not being kind this time. You have emptied the family property of the Nei Caojun!"

Seeing Li Xiu staring at those horse-drawn carts full of armaments, Wang Chengen couldn't help but tease him.

Li Xiu was not at all unfamiliar, and said with a hearty smile: "Haha, Mr. Wang, you are just talking about it, you are all doing things for His Majesty, how can you tell them so clearly!"

"Okay, okay, I can't say no to you, here is the list, general, click on it..."

"These people will be handed over to you, General..."

After chatting for a while, Li Xiu ordered his personal guards to take away a group of eunuchs and many military supplies.

At the gate of the camp, Li Xiu and Wang Chengen were left alone. After a secret discussion, Wang Chengen left the Yongwei camp and headed for the palace. This list of eunuchs in the internal military can't help shaking his head and smiling.

The eunuch of the Ming Dynasty really didn't have a simple role!

The battle in the inner court is also far more dangerous than the real fight with swords on the battlefield.

"General!"

While thinking, a deep voice suddenly sounded, which also interrupted Li Xiu's thoughts.

Li Xiu turned around, looked at the tall general with a firm face in front of him, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Cuiyu, how about entrusting the group of eunuchs who operate the army to you?"

"The general has an order, and the last general will go through fire and water, and he will not hesitate!"

The general immediately clasped his fists in response, his voice sonorous and forceful.

"Here's the list, make some excuses, don't let them walk out of the Valiant Guard alive."

Li Xiu shook his head, and handed the list to the general in front of him.

As soon as this remark came out, the general was stunned for a moment, but soon, he reacted, and clapped his hands in response: "The last general obeys orders!"

"Go."

Li Xiu waved his hand, and the general retired in response.

"Zhou Yuji..."

Looking at the figure of the general leaving, Li Xiu's expression was inexplicable, Zhou Yuji was undoubtedly the name of this person.

Li Xiu was no stranger to this name.

Throughout the history of the late Ming Dynasty in history, this person can definitely be regarded as a good general.

He spent his whole life as a soldier, and finally fought against the invading army at Ningwuguan, sacrificed his life for righteousness and died.

And in this era, because of his own butterfly effect, this person actually joined the Bravery Battalion when the Bravery Battalion was reorganized.

When he was in charge of the Yongwei camp, he found out that Zhou Yuji was a pioneer of the horse army. Curious about historical celebrities, Li Xiu transferred this person to the pro-military camp for training.

Although Li Xiu doesn't have much thought about collecting famous generals, but he has proved his talent in history, and now he cultivates it, so naturally there is no need to worry about wasting his thoughts in vain.

In fact, this is also the case. In just over a month, his talent for commanding troops has undoubtedly been revealed. Although he is not talented, compared to other generals in the Yongwei Battalion who follow the scriptures, it is really worth cultivating.

Naturally, Li Xiu is not stingy about cultivating useful talents. After all, it is impossible to lead an army in battle and do everything by himself.

One hero has three gangs, and the necessary cronies and helpers are still needed. As for how far they can go, it depends on their fortune.

Li Xiu looked up at the darkening sky, and then looked at the military formations that were still being drilled on the school field. After staring for a long time, the voice sounded.

"Pass down the order, the drill is over, and all the ministries will return to the camp!"

"As ordered!"

The guards on the side immediately took orders, and soon, the sound of Mingjin resounded through the camp. The original majestic army formation, with its soldiers swarming and cold, was suddenly restrained. The military formation moved towards the barracks in an orderly manner.

The whole process was strictly prohibited, and at a glance, it was extremely pleasing to the eye.

You can see the whole leopard at a glance, just the scene of the drill and retreat, you can clearly see the elite of this army.

"call……"

Taking a long breath, Li Xiu moved his body, took a step, and walked towards the camp.

As usual, he inspected the entire camp, but after inspecting the camp, Li Xiu did not return to the tent as usual, but surrounded by a team of personal guards, he went out camp.

It has been more than a month since the explosion of Wanggong factory. Although the damage to the capital has not dissipated, the impact on people of this era is not as great as imagined.

After all, for the people at the bottom, survival is the top priority. Before survival, everything is a trivial matter.

The capital city was still noisy, although Li Xiu wanted to stop for a glance, but when he saw the fearful and retreating eyes and figures of the people on the street, his thoughts of sightseeing suddenly dissipated a lot.

"General, someone is watching us!"

At this time, the guards on the side suddenly stepped forward and said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Li Xiu's heart skipped a beat, and his expression remained unchanged. Following what the pro-military said, he glanced at it inadvertently, and looked around.

At this moment, Li Xiu also subconsciously clenched the handle of the knife, but soon, he returned to normal, led the guards, and continued to walk slowly on the street.

Chapter 95 The Remains of the White Lotus

"who is it?"

Even though he knew that he was being watched, Li Xiu didn't panic, it's just that doubts were inevitable.

Speaking of which, up to now, no matter whether he has made friends or offended people, it is not too many.

Once the turmoil rises, entering the Yongwei Battalion to take charge of the soldiers, it is almost isolated from the world.

Even if he helped Zhu Youjian and offended Wei Zhongxian's party, with Wei Zhongxian's current old fox characteristics, he probably wouldn't be able to do such a stupid thing...

So... or just stalking?

Or still?

One by one names and forces circulated in his mind, and Li Xiu didn't think of a reason.

There are too many possibilities, and it is difficult to understand the other party's purpose without knowing the purpose.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Xiu didn't think much about it. In this capital, even if there are people who plan to do something wrong, they can just see the tricks and dismantle them.

While his thoughts were flowing, Li Xiu had already walked in front of a magnificent mansion gate.

A plaque was hung on the tall gate, and the word "Li Mansion" was very conspicuous. On both sides of the mansion gate, there were several armored and sharp soldiers standing. Seeing Li Xiu coming, there was a deafening sound.

"See General!"

After gesturing to the soldiers to stand up, Li Xiu took a look at the grand gate, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Stepping forward, he walked into the yard. There is no doubt that the house at the foot of the imperial city, which is full of rich and powerful people, is definitely not comparable to ordinary residential yards.

The layout of the house is quite similar to that of a courtyard house, except that it is much larger than an ordinary courtyard house. The overall building sits west and faces east, with three courtyards and four entrances. The courtyard where the servants live and so on.

The so-called deep house compound is nothing more than this.

In past and present lives, apart from the stretching halls of the imperial palace, it was the first time for Li Xiu to see such a magnificent and classical deep mansion compound with his own eyes.

In this era, there is undoubtedly a gap between the several houses that he lived in before and this deep house compound.

Of course, Li Xiu is not here to visit, but to come to see his house as the owner!

From a mere thousand households, he jumped directly to the head of the Yongwei Battalion. The emperor loved him so much that he even bestowed a mansion as his mansion, and this mansion was given by the emperor!

It's just that I was busy with military affairs before, and I was obsessed with military training and martial arts, so I never came here. This time, it was the first time I stepped into this house that belonged to me.

"How about it?"

After a tour, Li Xiucai stopped and looked at the guards who were running fast.

"General Qi, they are still there!"

"Still..."

Li Xiu raised his brows, and looked around at the garden in front of him, which is quite a bit of a Jiangnan water town: "Let the brothers prepare for it, I'm going to see where the distinguished guest is!"

"As ordered!"

As soon as the order was issued, the accompanying guards and the guards in charge of guarding the house moved immediately.

After a while, the garden returned to tranquility. Li Xiu stepped forward, walked into a gazebo in the center of the garden and sat down, picked up a book and began to read.

This time, the book Li Xiu read was not art of war and martial arts, but a Taoist classic that has been passed down through the ages: Tao Te Ching!

Now that there is no shortage of energy and the foundation is stable, he will naturally not ignore this strange book that is somewhat mythical.

In the previous life, Li Xiu would not be able to stand a single sentence of this obscure ancient prose, but now, after so many baptisms in the art of war and martial arts, Li Xiu has already adapted to it.

After a while, he was completely immersed in the Tao Te Ching, peeling away bit by bit this wonderful book that enshrined Lao Tzu's lifetime wisdom.

When the night fell completely, the rough men in the army didn't have any interest, so they directly lit a few piles of bonfires in this picturesque garden. No matter how you look at it, there is a sense of incongruity.

It's just that Li Xiu's mind at this time is naturally not on the garden scenery, and he has already forgotten about the so-called stalker.

Li Xiu still has some confidence in the generals he has personally trained. Every personal guard is carefully selected from among 1 elites, supplemented by firearms and mastered by martial arts. Roots, mainly weapons, coupled with various battle formations, and skillful coordination.

Looking at the entire brave guard battalion, and even all the guard troops in Ming Dynasty, they are definitely a model. Such an elite team can deal with these ghosts and monsters in the dark. Weapons are also afraid of firearms... There are not too many ways to deal with martial arts experts!

"Father, I have brought someone to check in advance. The thief has already arranged a guard stationed in this mansion. There are about 30 people. In addition to the guards of the thief's personal bodyguard, there are at least six people in the mansion of the thief. Seventy court eagle dogs... If we break in here, we might be trapped in a tight siege!"

Outside the house, a dozen or so black-clothed figures could be vaguely seen hiding in the darkness. The leader was a middle-aged man. If Li Xiu was here, he would definitely recognize that this man was not exactly the Bailian party that Shanyin County encountered back then. Chief rudder rudder Tang Liancheng!

The one who spoke was a masked woman, and the relationship between the two was already clear from the address.

"This is the only chance!"

Tang Liancheng's face was gloomy, looking at the flickering fire in the darkness ahead, and a hoarse voice followed: "This thief stays in the brave guard camp all day, isolated from the world, this time the opportunity is missed, we will Hard to find a second time!"

"Now that the hawks and dogs of the factory guard are fighting for power and have no time to take care of us, we have this opportunity. Otherwise, when the hawks and dogs of the factory guard react..."

"This thief must die. If I don't cut him into pieces, how can I vent my hatred, and how can I be worthy of so many loyal people in my sect... If it wasn't for him, how could my sect end up like this! "

Having said so much, Tang Liancheng gritted his teeth when he thought of the river of blood caused by the capture of the two traitors in the battle at Shanyin, and he couldn't restrain his urge to kill.

As if aware of his gaffe, Tang Liancheng paused for a while, and said again: "Wan'er, you have to know that this thief has a very special status now, and he is one of the few people who can be relied on by the dog emperor of the dynasty. Get rid of him, this dog The Son of Heaven will lose his military power, and if he loses his military power and relies on deterrence, then those dog officials in the court of the capital, and even the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, will bite dogs, and there will be no peace, so we will have a chance to make a comeback..."

"For the great cause of teaching, how can we be greedy for life and afraid of death!"

……

Chapter 96 The Sadness of Martial Arts

In the middle of the night, the night market in the capital is still bustling and bustling.

But in the Xicheng District of the capital, where the dignitaries gather, it seems extremely peaceful, but outside this mansion bestowed by the emperor, the murderous intent has already been revealed.

In the darkness, stretching over the ridge of the roof, more than a dozen black-clothed figures jumped and galloped, submerged in the darkness between ups and downs, and headed for the only place where the mansion was lit by fire.

Time passed bit by bit. In the garden, Li Xiu was still immersed in the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient sages. Outside the gazebo, more than a dozen armored guards stood upright, looking around with tiger eyes, majestic, Impressive.

The late autumn night was already chilly, the night wind howled, the flames swayed, blood red and red danced, in the silence, Li Xiu, who was immersed in the sea of ​​books, slowly raised his head and arms, feeling the wind. flow.

"interesting……"

Feeling the touch of his fingertips and smelling the extremely faint smell in the air, the corners of Li Xiu's mouth slightly raised. What kind of experience is it like to use poison in front of a person who can be regarded as a genius doctor?
