Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

"Your Majesty, Xiong Xierong wants to use gunpowder to train the courage of his new soldiers, but I think this is inappropriate."

While Zhu Youxiao was thinking, a voice sounded from behind the screen, and Lu Xiangsheng walked out quickly. When he reached the imperial court, Lu Xiangsheng bowed and bowed.

"Even if I want to make changes in the capital camp as soon as possible so that the new soldiers under my command can adapt to the battlefield as soon as possible, this method is too extreme in my opinion. If I am not careful, I am afraid that there will be complaints in the army. If things continue like this, we will not take any measures." If we try to divert them, it will definitely lead to a mutiny.”

"I know."

Zhu Youxiao lifted up his robe sleeves, looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Xiong Qing also knows this, but since Xiong Qing mentioned it, all I can do is satisfy Xiong Qing's request."

"His Majesty!"

Lu Xiangsheng looked up in surprise and looked at Zhu Youxiao.

"Let's not mention this matter."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said: "Since I have handed over the military affairs of the capital to Xiong Qing, I will not intervene unless it is a matter of principle."

"For the same reason, if the new soldiers in the Beijing camp can't handle this pressure, then they should simply stop going to the battlefield in the future. Although I have never been on the battlefield, I also know that the battlefield is a hundred or a thousand times more cruel!"

Lu Xiangsheng was silent.

indeed.

They haven't gone to the battlefield yet, and most of the soldiers in the Beijing camp are new soldiers. Even if they have enough food and practice more on weekdays, it is different from the battlefield.

Lu Xiangsheng had never been on the battlefield, but when he worked with Xiong Tingbi when he was co-organizing food and wages in Beijing, Lu Xiangsheng knew the cruelty of the battlefield just by listening to what Xiong Tingbi said.

There are piles of people.

Cannons come in groups.

The arrows are in pieces.

Horses are like wind.

On the battlefield where we are fighting, it is extremely normal for people to die. The longer the two sides fight, the blood will gather into a river, not to mention the broken limbs and broken arms all over the battlefield.

In such an environment, people don't know fear, especially those who are new to the battlefield. This is not that they are not afraid of death, but that they are completely frightened.

And more new recruits, who have not returned to reality in a frightened state, will never come back to their senses because they are already dead...

Lu Xiangsheng still remembers Xiong Tingbi’s words.

"Looking at the corpses all over the field, the overwhelming rain of artillery and arrows, the deafening shouts of killing, especially the two black masses colliding and colliding, how much I hope to escape from the Shura field-like battlefield, and the permeating smell of blood. The smell of burning meat will make even the most hard-hearted person shiver..."

War is never a child's play. People die in wars, and they die in large numbers. The victory in every war is based on human lives.

"Your Majesty, I have a request."

After Lu Xiangsheng came back to his senses, he noticed the emperor's gaze, thought of the purpose of his trip, and hurriedly bowed to the emperor.

"Go ahead."

Zhu Youxiao leaned on the handsome chair and said, "It must be something important that allows the Qing family to come from Tianshou Mountain."

"I sincerely request your Majesty to select a group of generals and transfer them to Huang Degong's command."

Lu Xiangsheng bowed and said: "Although Huang Degong's generals are all brave and good at fighting, Huang Degong's troops are stationed in Tianshou Mountain. They have to rectify the mausoleum guards and are responsible for suppressing the Zhili bandits in the north. But at present, those soldiers cannot be special. Promoted to a high position."

"Does the Qing family not trust those personal guards?"

Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly.

"It's not that I don't trust you, but..."

Lu Xiangsheng seemed a little hesitant at this moment.

As a minister, Lu Xiangsheng knew not to make demands of the emperor easily, but when he participated in the encirclement and suppression of Zhao Ni bandits with Huang Degong, Lu Xiangsheng saw the fundamental problem of Huang Degong's servants.

Habits die hard!

No matter how brave and skilled they are, their background as personal guards inevitably makes them fall into some bad habits when loyal to their original master.

Perhaps among them, there will indeed be a group of brave and capable generals, but for the army, it cannot be ignored just because of this one.

"It's enough for Sun Yingyuan to assist."

Zhu Youxiao smiled, looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said, "One general will be in charge of Tianshou Mountain, and the other will lead the troops to suppress the bandits. I believe the two of them can coordinate well."

"Is this too little?"

Lu Xiangsheng raised his head and said.

"A lot."

The corners of Zhu Youxiao's mouth raised slightly, "When Zhou Yuji leads his troops back to the capital, a group of new soldiers from Shaanxi will be added. By then, the Tianshou Mountain tribes will be different."

What role can a group of new recruits play?

Now Lu Xiangsheng was even more confused.

It's just that Lu Xiangsheng didn't know that the new Shaanxi soldiers who were going to be sent to Tianshou Mountain were carefully selected by Colonel Zhu You.

"Wang Jiayin, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Li Hongji, Wang Ziyong... don't say I didn't give you a chance."

While Lu Xiangsheng was doubting, Zhu Youxiao secretly said in his heart, "The fifth year of the Apocalypse is really a good time point. You rebels are still under the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Maybe you have resentment against the Ming Dynasty, but I don’t care, I need a group of people with wolf nature, and as long as you can live, I guarantee that you will all be promoted to nobility!”

In fact, when Xiong Tingbi committed public outrage and gathered all the personal guards and servants under the jurisdiction of the various ministries and generals in the Beijing camp and handed them over to Huang Degong's command, a bold plan was born in Zhu Youxiao's heart.

That's bringing the wolves together.

Originally, Zhu Youxiao had not thought about how to deal with the rebels such as Wang Jiayin and Gao Yingxiang after Zhou Yuji and Sun Yingyuan went to Shanshan and Shaanxi to recruit troops and returned to the capital. After all, these guys are not good people. If they are not handled properly, then The consequences are more serious.

But after Huang Degong took control of more than ten thousand personal guards, Zhu Youxiao did not hesitate and gathered them together, gave them the food and wages they deserved, and then fought the battle against Jianlu. Huang Degong's department would be a A true elite, as long as they can survive the battlefield, they will be generously rewarded.

Perhaps there is a big difference between this and the new army in Zhu Youxiao's mind, but it doesn't matter. After that battle, they will be arranged to go elsewhere.

"Qing family, I have something I want you to do."

Zhu Youxiao, who thought of this, looked at Lu Xiangsheng with a complicated expression.

"Your Majesty, please clarify."

Lu Xiangsheng immediately bowed his head.

"I want the Qing family to return to their hometown to recruit a new army of 20,000 soldiers."

Zhu Youxiao leaned forward and said in a sonorous tone: "As soon as the new soldiers are recruited, we will immediately set off for Shanhaiguan Town, stationed at the seaside of Shanhaiguan City, build a large camp, and build a seaside wharf for my imperial commander to build in the future. The main road to move grain and grass!!"

"This……"

Lu Xiangsheng's face changed slightly.

He knew that the emperor wanted to conquer the country in person, but was it too wasteful to build a forage transfer route near the important town of Shanhaiguan?

After all, there are many ways to reach Liaoqian from the hinterland of Ming Dynasty.

"I still say what I said, everything will be done if it's done in advance. If it's not done in advance, it will be ruined."

Seeing Lu Xiangsheng's doubts, Zhu Youxiao said: "It is no small matter for me to go on a personal expedition. If I fail, the country and the country will be in danger. There are too many people I am worried about, but I am very worried about the Qing family. This is near the sea." The construction of important thoroughfares is to prevent problems before they happen."

"The new army under the control of the Qing family is also to prevent it from happening. Before this battle begins, I can only meet the needs of food and grass. As for the military pay, it will be temporarily in arrears."

"So when the Qing family returns to their hometown to recruit troops, in addition to ensuring that each new soldier can pass the screening, they must also obey the orders of the Qing family and not cause a camp roar due to arrears in military pay."

Lu Xiangsheng's expression changed.

It is not only to take precautions against what the emperor said, but also to meet the emperor's requirements for the new army.

Especially the latter.

If you want to do it, you have to be related.

"I will give this new army the name Tianxiong!"

While Lu Xiangsheng was thinking, Zhu Youxiao stood up and said: "I hope that the Qing family can bring a strong army to the Ming Dynasty. When the battle begins and the final victory is achieved, I will not hesitate to reward you!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Lu Xiangsheng's expression was serious and he solemnly paid homage to Zhu Youxiao.

The Tianxiong Army should not be buried like this!

Looking at Lu Xiangsheng, Zhu Youxiao stood with his hands hanging, a flash of light flashed in his eyes. When this powerful army came out, it must be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, because as the founder, Lu Xiangsheng would inject military soul into this army. Not all The commander of the army thinks only of his own selfish interests.

Zhu Youxiao is willing to give this kind of trust to Lu Xiangsheng.

Maybe others will support their troops and respect themselves, which will breed the power of generals, but Lu Xiangsheng will not! !

An important factor that made Zhu Youxiao decide to launch the Tianxiong Army in advance was that Wang Jiayin and Zhang Xianzhong were gathered under Huang Degong. If one day, some of them dared to betray the Ming Dynasty, then the Tianxiong Army led by Lu Xiangsheng The army will be suppressed forcefully! !

If we really want to get to that point, the Tianxiong Army at that time must have experienced the baptism of the battlefield, and even equipped with the most sophisticated weapons and equipment...

But for Zhu Youxiao, he didn't want this scene to really happen. After all, Wang Jiayin and the others were willing to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, so he could do more things, such as harassing the Jianlu rear, attacking various grassland tribes, and taking down the Ming Dynasty. The vassal state belongs to Korea...
