Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

The barrel of a gun is the safest and most reliable only if it is in one's own hands. Zhu Youxiao knows this truth very well, because the Ming Dynasty he faces is a country with countless messes, sharp class conflicts, and frequent disasters under its rule. There is serious corruption in the officialdom and corruption and depravity at the grassroots level.

In such an extremely real Ming Dynasty, if you don't try to change anything, you may encounter problems of one kind or another, but it won't cause major changes.

The Ming Dynasty will maintain a fixed rhythm and trajectory, and even the many privileged groups attached to the Ming Dynasty will try their best to maintain the precarious rule.

After all, if the Ming Dynasty is really going to fall, then their vested interests will also be seriously damaged!

But such a Ming Dynasty will eventually overthrow. In the final analysis, if the foundation of rule is constantly gnawed away, there will be a threat of destabilization.

It's just a matter of time.

But... if you want to try to change something, then it is not surprising that big changes will occur. After all, the interests of privileged groups will be affected.

The bustle in the world comes because of profit, and the hustle and bustle in the world all goes away because of profit.

Even if you are a great emperor, once you really touch certain forbidden things, danger will follow. An emperor who has an independent opinion is something that many people don't want to see.

"Xiong Qing, my uninvited visit this time has not affected Xiong Qing's ordering of the capital camp, right?"

Zhu Youxiao walked down from the Dragon Boat Festival with a faint smile on his face, and walked directly towards Xiong Tingbi who was bowing in front of the camp gate, "Speaking of which, I should come to inspect the capital camp when the set deadline is approaching, but I want to Take a look at my Beijing camp in advance, the powerful army that once galloped across the battlefield and intimidated Northern Xinjiang!!"

"Your Majesty can condescend to inspect the capital camp. It's not too late for me to be happy."

Xiong Tingbi hurriedly said: "The Beijing camp will always be His Majesty's. If there is any impact just because Your Majesty wants to inspect the Beijing camp, then it's okay not to have such a Beijing camp!"

"Ha ha!!"

Zhu Youxiao's hearty laughter echoed here.

He likes Xiong Tingbi's straightforward temperament very much!

If you want to straighten out the intricately organized Beijing camp so that it has a certain combat power and can be drawn out at any time to fight all powerful foreign enemies without retreating, you need people like Xiong Tingbi to replace others with assisting in the military affairs of the Beijing camp. None of them met Zhu Youxiao's expectations.

This is the fundamental reason why Zhu Youxiao decided to pardon Xiong Tingbi arbitrarily despite the opposition of the ministers!

Because Xiong Tingbi is worth it!

"Let's go and have a tour of the army."

Zhu Youxiao lifted up the sleeves of his robe, stretched out his hand and said to Xiong Tingbi: "I will only inspect the fifth military camp this time. When the three months are up, I will inspect all the departments in the Beijing camp!"

While saying this, Liu Ruoyu, the eunuch in charge of the Qianqing Palace, walked over with his head lowered and leading a tall horse.

Hey, yo~

The sound of horses sounded outside the central gate of the Fifth Army Camp. When many people did not expect it, Zhu Youxiao grabbed the reins with one hand and the saddle with the other. He turned over on the horse very skillfully, and the horse kicked the horse's hooves under his crotch!

"His Majesty!!"

"Brother Royal!!"

This made many people exclaim, especially Xiong Tingbi, Yuan Keli, and Zhu Youjian, who all showed worry on their faces.

The emperor is a man of ten thousand gold, and he must ensure safety in everything he does. Although the emperor is here to inspect the capital camp this time, there is no need to ride a horse.

If the horse under his crotch is frightened and loses control, it's okay if nothing happens. If anything happens, then any punishment is secondary. The main thing is that nothing happens to the emperor!

"Yuan Qing, Xiong Qing, one of you is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the other is the assistant manager of the military affairs of the Beijing camp. Riding a horse is not a difficult task for you, right?"

Zhu Youxiao, who was firmly on the saddle, reached out to take the riding whip held by Li Ruolian, looked at Yuan Keli and Xiong Tingbi with a smile and said.

"I have been practicing riding skills in the palace these years, so that one day, I can imitate Emperor Taizu Gao and others to lead the army and gallop on the battlefield, and defeat all powerful enemies who dare to invade the Ming Dynasty with dignity!!!"

As soon as this statement came out, many people had different thoughts in their hearts.

Especially those nobles and generals who came out of the camp to greet them. Even though Zhu Youxiao didn't look at them twice from beginning to end, these people's hearts were very complicated.

Ever since Xiong Tingbi used a trick to get rid of all the generals, commanders, and personal guards in the Beijing camp, these nobles who had temporary posts in the Beijing camp, all of them, uncharacteristically, began to come to the Beijing camp for rotation. As for why they did this, Anyone with eyesight knows what's going on.

"That minister has lost his manners in front of you."

Xiong Tingbi paused, bowed to the emperor, and then got on his horse skillfully. Yuan Ke immediately saw this and didn't say anything else, so he also got on his horse.

Among the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, there were a handful of people who were all-rounders in civil and military affairs. They were able to run the army on horseback and the people on horseback. They may have different styles of doing things, but they all had one thing in common, that is, they were good at everything.

Although it can't be perfect, at least it won't fall off at critical moments.

"Let's go."

Zhu Youxiao smiled, raised his riding whip and said.

“Let’s drive!!!”

When the Luan Guards gathered in front of the emperor saw the emperor giving orders, the leader Li Ruolian shouted loudly, and the team in front of the emperor started to move.

This time when he came to inspect the Central Army of the Fifth Military Camp, Zhu Youxiao deliberately changed into a military uniform instead of wearing the emperor's regular clothes in order to show his martial side.

The army is easy to gather. As long as there is money, food, and people, you can raise a team.

But there is still a fundamental difference between such an army and an army that dares to go to the battlefield.

What Zhu Youxiao wants is the latter!

In such a complex Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao needs a strong army that he can trust. Even if there is any problem, these strong armies will absolutely respect his will and go to various places to intimidate Xiao Xiaozhi. generation!

"Xiong Qing, I am here to inspect the capital camp this time, and there are a few important things that I need you to do."

As he rushed to the Central Army of the Fifth Army Camp, Zhu Youxiao rode forward and said to Xiong Tingbi who was accompanying him: "I want to implement a new military system in the Beijing Camp. After my inspection is over, Xiong Qing wants to establish a new military system in the Fifth Army and the Central Army. The three battalions of Shu and Shenji used the brave new recruits to form three new armies in three towns. Each town has two associations. The towns are governed by the participating generals, and the associations are governed by the guerrilla generals. I have written down all the scenarios involving the new army. Come down, someone will be sent to Commander Xiong Qing’s tent then!”

"The minister obeys the order!"

Xiong Tingbi immediately expressed his stance.

镇？

协？

Yuan Keli, who was accompanying him, had a look of confusion on his face after hearing what the emperor said. Because the structures the emperor talked about had never appeared in the Ming army before, and his intuition told him that things were probably far worse than what he heard. It's as simple as it gets!
