In the afternoon of that day, Hou Jing and others completed the selection of soldiers, and more than 1,500 people went to Shanglin Garden.
Because there was an order for him, Zhu Jinghong directly led his guards and hurried from the imperial city to Shanglin Garden.
Although Shanglinyuan is the royal hunting ground, it is also the place where military exercises were held, so the barracks and grounds are all ready.
Arriving at the school grounds of Shanglinyuan and looking at the neatly lined up troops, Zhu Jinghong had to admit that the overall quality of the elite selected by the Guards Shangzhi Army exceeded his expectations.
These emperor's personal soldiers, who received generous military pay, were already as immovable as a mountain even though they had not yet undergone rigorous training.
With such a powerful army at hand, it is no wonder that the Ming Dynasty shocked the surrounding countries and made the rebellious grassland tribes surrender.
Wearing armor, Zhu Jinghong rode his horse and walked in front of the military formation, turning his horse's head to face the military formation.
"You guys... know who I am?"
The scene was completely silent. Zhu Jinghong raised his voice and said, "Why is it that no one speaks and everyone is mute?"
After his reminder, a person from Qianhu below replied: "Master Thirteen, if you have anything to do, just give me orders!"
Qianhu, who guards the army, is a sixth-grade military attache, and his rank is not low.
He replied that this person was about twenty-sixty-seven. He was the deputy Qianhu who was only released from the Dragon Guards last year. Naturally, he knew the famous Zhu Jinghong.
"Everyone...who is the Thirteenth Master? I guess I don't need to say more, right?"
Soothing the restless horse under his crotch, Zhu Jinghong continued: "I heard that when a new person takes office, the subordinates, in order to prevent the superiors from bullying them, work together to give him power!"
"I am taking office as a new official today, so you guys are not going to give me a blow!"
Zhu Jinghong said half-jokingly that although it was not that funny, everyone at the scene still smiled because of his identity.
Because this at least shows that this Thirteenth Master is approachable and will be easier to get along with.
"Seeing that you are all smiling, I think you should give me face and not deliberately embarrass me!"
Upon hearing this, everyone smiled even more and the atmosphere gradually became more lively. This was exactly what Zhu Jinghong wanted.
He will not directly train the army, so he can fully pretend to be a good person and gain support and reputation after the success.
"Everyone... do you know why we summoned you here today?"
The soldiers really didn't know. The superiors only gave the order to move to Shanglinyuan, but didn't say what they would do specifically.
"The guards are the elite, and you are the elite among the elite!"
Praise is free of charge, so Zhu Jinghong naturally praised him fiercely. To be a good person, you must maintain your image!
Then he said: "I have called you here this time for three things only..."
"First, let you make meritorious deeds!"
"Second, let you make great achievements!"
"Third, let you make meritorious deeds!"
After hearing this, everyone suddenly became curious and a little excited.
With Zhu Jinghong's identity, it was definitely impossible to deceive them, so it was very possible to make meritorious deeds. Everyone was even happier thinking about this.
"This errand is very important. It was personally assigned by the Holy Emperor. Once completed, it is possible to be promoted to two or even three levels. Financial rewards are indispensable..."
There is no doubt that Zhu Jinghong has started the art of painting cakes again, and he is very straightforward, which is very popular with the sergeants present.
It can be said that Zhu Jinghong has exhausted all the methods in his previous life. The ancients could withstand these, and everyone was immediately motivated, just waiting to get started quickly.
Sensing that the atmosphere was about to change, Zhu Jinghong concluded: "Everyone, the rewards are huge, but the task is also very arduous. Do you have the confidence to complete it?"
Although the method of injecting chicken blood in the previous life was useful, no one answered at this moment. Because of the relationship of superiority and inferiority here, the soldiers did not dare to speak without authorization.
"Answer me loudly, do you have faith?"
"Yes!" A few people replied, all of them officers in the team.
"Everyone else is mute? I didn't hear clearly. Do you have confidence?" Zhu Jinghong's voice became higher and higher.
"have!"
This time, everyone's voices became louder and louder, and the atmosphere was completely aroused.
In the current era, this is a unique mobilization meeting that has achieved very good results.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that Zhu Jinghong has a high enough status and is worthy of the trust of everyone present.
In the same way, it would be difficult to achieve the current effect if it were done by a military commander with insufficient status.
"Since we are all confident, this round of training will officially begin. The first task this morning is to follow the arranged queue and everyone remembers their position!"
The more than a thousand people present will form a square formation according to their military types. Zhu Jinghong has already conceived the specific formation method and handed it all over to the guards.
So after he gave the order, the guards each came to the corresponding square formation, and they would make detailed arrangements next.
Among the composition of the Ming army, compared to the local capital and the capital camp, the guards of the Zhijun were undoubtedly more arrogant.
But facing the guards of the Dragon Guard, they couldn't be arrogant, so they still obeyed the greetings, not to mention that Zhu Jinghong was pressing on them.
When Zhu Jinghong began to train troops, Deng An appeared again outside Rongguo Mansion with a mission.
Because of Zhu Jinghong's instructions, Deng An obviously kept a lower profile this time, at least he no longer looked at people with his nostrils.
It's not surprising that he was so cautious, because being an eunuch also involves involution, and Deng An's position could be replaced at any time.
After all, there were many eunuchs in Chengmingyuan, and there were also many smart people among them. He, Deng An, just had better luck.
After being suddenly warned yesterday, Deng An guessed that someone was jealous and tipped him off, otherwise how could Zhu Jinghong know about his situation outside.
Let's talk about Deng An entering Rongguo Mansion. Although he kept a low profile, he still caused quite a stir.
Jia Baoyu was coming back from school, and then he met Deng An.
His previous experience of going to the palace made him dislike eunuchs, but even though he felt uncomfortable, he wisely stepped aside at this moment.
Today, Jia She is not here, so Deng An is led into the mansion by Jia Lian and his wife.
When meeting Baoyu, Jia Lian only asked a few questions, but Wang Xifeng walked slowly and was kept by Baoyu.
"Sister Feng, who is that eunuch?"
"It's from the palace, sent by the Thirteenth Master!"
"Why is it Master Thirteen again? Why did he send people to our house?" Baoyu asked curiously.
"The person who came to see your sister Bao may be about participating in the election!"
"It turns out that this is why Sister Bao wants to squeeze into the palace. She is not from the same group as us!" Jia Baoyu sneered.
At this moment, he forgot that if his sister who married into the royal family had not protected him, he might have lost his life.
Wang Xifeng laughed twice, told Baoyu to go back and read the book quickly, and then hurriedly chased him in.
The palace sent people to the house twice in two days, which shows the importance of Baochai in Zhu Jinghong's heart. How could Wang Xifeng not go and see it.
After Wang Xifeng left, Ming Yan said: "Second Master, if Miss Bao enters the palace, there will be another door to our house in the future!"
"What kind of connection? Who cares about her connection?" Baoyu said coldly.
"I originally thought that Sister Bao was a refined person, but she turned out to be so vulgar and intolerable. Now even Sister Lin has been led astray!"
The more he talked, the more uncomfortable Jia Baoyu felt, and finally said: "Let me tell you... it's okay for her to leave our house, at least out of sight and out of mind!"
At this time, Mingyan reminded: "Second Master, Miss Bao and the others are guests after all. If you say this...if the master hears it, I'm afraid you will be punished again!"
Baoyu made a serious face and lectured: "Hmph... As long as you don't chew your tongue, how could the master know!"
