The next day, early morning.
A thousand elite soldiers specially selected from the three major battalions have already been dressed as a team and gathered in the open space of the front camp in high spirits, waiting for Zhu Gaojie's instructions.
Although Zhu Gaojie intended to show the entire capital the powerful force of the Ming Dynasty's army this time, it was still somewhat taboo for a large army to enter the city. Moreover, a large number of people could easily cause various problems.
Therefore, he asked Su Wu to select a few elite teams from the three major battalions to serve as representatives to enter the city and perform victory.
It is said that in order to compete for this honor, more than a dozen generals fought so hard that they almost started fighting...
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaojie couldn't help but smile slightly, and the expression on his face became much more relaxed.
The three major battalions themselves have extremely strong combat effectiveness. In addition, Zhu Gaojie had previously integrated Yue Fei's personality manifestation and conducted various military formation and discipline training for the three major battalions. How could Yue Wumu's name be a waste? False name?
In the entire three camps, both strength and quality were immediately greatly strengthened and improved!
Especially after the battle on the Mobei Grassland, the three battalions experienced wars of blood and fire, and they stood out and became a truly iron-blooded and powerful army!
Zhu Gaojie himself had made an evaluation in private. In terms of combat strength and the quality of the soldiers, the three battalions have now almost completely surpassed his 200,000 troops in Liaodong. Compared with the 300,000 troops led by Liu Rong in the northwest, It is even more powerful!
Now among the three major camps, Shenji Camp is good at attacking, Wujun Camp is good at defending, and Fengzi Camp is the mainstay. Although the total number of soldiers and horses is less than 50,000, they have already risen sharply and become the strongest force in the Ming Dynasty so far. of an army.
Zhu Gaojie felt quite satisfied with this. With such a strong army in hand, the series of major things he would do next would be more convenient, and he would be more confident in the future governance and reform of the Ming Dynasty.
Otherwise, the large number of dissatisfied aristocratic families in the south, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate in the west, and the series of small countries and Southeast Asian countries in the far south would be enough to give him a headache...
He came to the high platform of the camp, took a glance, and found that the morale of the soldiers below was quite high. They were all elite seeds, and they were the best choice. He immediately smiled:
"The military system has been established."
Su Wu who was following behind also had scorching eyes:
"Your Highness, according to your wishes, the purpose of this memorial was to select the best, but I didn't expect that there would be so many elites in the army..."
Zhu Gaojie couldn't help but laugh:
“There are more talents, that’s a good thing.”
He thought for a while and then ordered:
"After I return to Beijing, I won't make any big moves for the time being. You should put more thought into selecting some people from the army to enter the martial arts hall for further study."
Su Wu's expression changed slightly. Talking about martial arts hall?
I remember that His Highness did say this before. It seemed that he asked Mr. Xia to open a class in the Academy of Arts with His Highness himself. However, due to various reasons, the class has been delayed.
According to His Highness, after the situation in Beijing is stabilized this time, a martial arts hall will be opened?
His thoughts changed rapidly and he bowed to accept the order:
"Yes, please rest assured, Your Highness, I will carefully select talents to join."
Zhu Gaojie nodded and continued:
"Each session of the martial arts hall has a hundred people and lasts for three months. I will give the lectures in person at the beginning, and then you will gradually take over."
"The best ones are selected from the military and are assessed every month. The best ones are admitted and the weak ones are dismissed, giving them a sense of urgency."
Su Wu secretly thought:
"Isn't this a true disciple of the Emperor? I don't know how many people in the army are fighting for this..."
However, he still asked:
"Your Highness, should you only choose from the three major battalions, or expand to other armies?"
When Zhu Gaojie heard this, he couldn't help but sigh slightly. In terms of relationship, the 200,000 troops in Liaodong can be regarded as his confidants, so he should not favor one over the other.
"Let's choose together. Send a letter to Liaodong and Northwest to inform them of this matter, and let them make their own selections before going to Beijing. Anyway, the martial arts hall still needs to make preparations for the time being, and I have to deal with all the matters in Beijing before I can be free... …”
Su Wu responded: "Yes, please rest assured, Your Highness, I will handle this matter myself."
After Zhu Gaojie finished instructing this matter, he took a step forward and said with emotion:
"My fellow soldiers, I feel very good when I see you like this. You are the foundation of the Ming Dynasty!"
The soldiers below, including all the soldiers around the camp, heard this and suddenly became excited and let out a low roar:
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Crown Prince!"
"His Royal Highness is a thousand years old!"
Zhu Gaojie then continued:
"You followed Gu on an expedition to Mobei, first annihilating the Tatars and then the Oaras. You killed countless enemies and made outstanding military achievements. You made extraordinary contributions to the Ming Dynasty and completely solved the great troubles of the foreign tribes in the north. I am very satisfied with you and will definitely fight against you in many ways. reward!"
"Here!"
Everyone likes rewards, especially His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, who has never been a stingy person and treats the soldiers below very generously. Therefore, everyone immediately cheered, and the sound shook the sky!
"I believe you all know that today, I will lead you into the capital, parade to praise your merits, and perform in victory at the Ancestral Temple."
"This is your glorious moment, and it is also the supreme honor you have earned with your own hard work and hard work."
"We must let everyone in the capital know that it was warriors like you who defeated the barbaric and ferocious steppe aliens and destroyed the last country of the Mongols. You are the real heroes of the Ming Dynasty!"
As Zhu Gaojie's words fell, almost everyone in the military camp was boiling!
In the minds of the soldiers, except for the brave and outstanding Crown Prince, who could treat their soldiers so seriously?
Who can disrespect and respect His Highness the Crown Prince who is so benevolent and decisive in killing?
Even the old emperor Zhu Di, who had successfully pacified Nanjing, had a great reputation in the military, but now he can no longer compare to the prince Zhu Gaojie...
After encouraging the officers and soldiers, Zhu Gaojiao told Su Wu:
"Get ready to go."
"Qingyu just told me that all the officials of the court have come to wait for us outside Anding Gate."
Su Wu agreed, turned around and went down to make arrangements.
Zhu Gaojie, on the other hand, got off the high platform directly, mounted his horse along with his guards, and began to move forward slowly.
Today, he did not wear the royal robes and crown, but wore inner armor, dressed like an army general, preparing to enter the city.
After all, according to Jin Yiwei's report, some people were almost hysterical and crazy, and were ready to take advantage of this only opportunity to completely eliminate him, the Crown Prince of the East Palace!
"Array up, move forward!"
Zhu Gaojie came to the front of the team with a serious face and waved his hand:
"Let us enter the city in triumph!" (End of this chapter)
