In fact, for Zhu Youxiao, the fact that the common people in front of him did not have rat tails on the back of their heads was already much more pleasing to his eyes.
"Mother, is that the emperor?"
At this time, a little girl's voice came from behind the chariot in which Zhu Youxiao was riding.
Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly because of this, and only summoned Liu Ruoyu and said: "The barracks are located here! The wasteland in front was expanded into a school field and barracks. In addition, another open space was found as a gathering place for Yulin Wei's family members, and it was set as the imperial For a village in the village, the first village will be established first, and then the second and third villages will be established in sequence. All the houses of the Yulin Guards will be converted into brick houses. Those who are elected to the Yulin Guards will be like scholars among scholars. Someone was sent to announce the good news, and the imperial court allocated funds to set up a flagpole in front of the house, set up a family tree, give a plaque of "Glorious Habayashi Guards", and give them the treatment of a scholar. This showed that they were different from other tenants, so that those who became Habayashi Guards were distinguished from the beginning. He has a different sense of honor than the ordinary tenants of the Imperial Village."
"This slave accepts the order."
Liu Ruoyu replied.
Then, Zhu Youxiao ordered: "After recruiting troops, organize all kinds of craftsmen in Huangzhuang who are literate and at least honest and responsible to form a logistics team to participate in the entire Huangzhuang logistics construction, such as barracks construction. It provides a guarantee for the training of the entire Guards, such as tree felling, and those who join the logistics team are given the status of Habayashi Guards and receive corresponding treatment."
"yes!"
Liu Ruoyu replied again.
Next, Zhu Youxiao explained some other things and then set off back to the palace.
Xu Guangqi and the eunuchs Lu Jiude, Guo Hu, You Shigong and others stayed here to recruit troops.
Lu Jiude was specially promoted to the imperial horse eunuch by Zhu Youxiao, because as far as Zhu Youxiao knew, Lu Jiude was a eunuch who knew more about soldiers in history.
The tenants of Huangzhuang have already known about the recruitment of soldiers through the eunuch in charge of Huangzhuang in advance, and they also know the treatment of becoming the Yulin Guard.
But for ordinary people these days, it is a rare good thing to be able to earn one or two salary a month, reduce the rent, and become an official, let alone serve the emperor.
Therefore, all the young people in the village are very active in applying.
According to the initial recruitment plan decided by Zhu Youxiao, Guo Hu, Qin Liangyu and other veterans, as well as Xu Guangqi and others, the first batch of soldiers to be formed was to recruit more than 3,000 soldiers to form a Guards combat camp.
The entire military camp is a combination of infantry and cavalry.
Among them, the infantry includes mandarin duck formations composed of spearmen, sword and shield men, and firearms men, as well as the divine machine team that specializes in firearms, while the cavalry mainly consists of heavy armored cavalry that line up to charge.
"Carry this log to the place where the flag is planted!"
At this time, Zhang Tongchang, who was directly responsible for recruiting soldiers, began to instruct a young man who came to apply for the army to do what he asked.
The young man hesitated for a moment and asked, "Master, why?"
Zhang Tongchang said because of this: "You were not selected, the next one!"
The young man looked confused and couldn't help but touch his head. Then he was taken aside by the Jin Yiwei who was responsible for maintaining order in recruiting soldiers, and the next one was brought to Sun Chuanting.
Zhang Tongchang continued to demand: "Carry this piece of wood to the place where the flag is planted!"
"good!"
The young man honestly put the wood on his shoulders, but he couldn't lift it.
Seeing this, Zhang Tongchang said again: "You go to your manager to apply for a logistics soldier. You were not selected as a combat soldier. You will be next in line."
Then, I don’t know how long it took, finally a young man named Wu Dazhu honestly carried the wood to the place where the flag was placed, and then he was called by Zhang Tongchang: "Take this card and go to that room to accept it." Check and ask, take him over there!”
The young man named Wu Dazhu went to be examined and questioned, and was arranged to be sent to Lu Xiangsheng.
Lu Xiangsheng followed the recruitment rules above and asked Wu Dazhu and other young men who had come here to conduct a long-distance running test before finally selecting prospective Guards soldiers who met the requirements.
Wu Dazhu was successfully selected and was not eliminated. He breathed heavily and was taken to Sun Chuanting, an official of the Ministry of War, and Tu Wenfu, a young eunuch of the Imperial Horse Guards, to register. Then he began to receive the Yulin Guards' special combat soldier training uniform and was asked to sit cross-legged. Wait in the clearing circled off and marked as a campsite.
Most of the people who had been selected were sitting on the ground.
After all, you are choosing someone who is honest and obedient.
But there are also fish that slip through the net.
As soon as Wu Dazhu came over, a young man named Wang Zhi asked him: "What is your name and where are you from?"
"Wu Dazhu, from the willow tree."
Wu Dazhu replied.
"I'm from here, my name is Wang Zhi, and his name is Zhang Yuanshan."
Wang Zhi said this and pointed at a young man chewing grass roots next to Wu Dazhu.
Wu Dazhu smiled kindly at him.
Zhang Yuanshan did not look back at Wu Dazhu, but said: "Don't talk, don't you see? Officials don't like people who talk a lot and like to whisper."
"Now you have been defeated! Return your training uniforms immediately and get out of here!"
At this time, as expected, there were already Jin Yiwei scolding several quasi-combatants who were gossiping because they were from the same hometown. No matter how those quasi-combatants kowtowed and begged to stay, these Jinyiwei did not obey and sent these quasi-combatants who were originally selected to stay. The soldiers rushed out.
Wu Dazhu sat up in a hurry.
According to Zhu Youxiao's requirements, soldiers must be selected from the imperial villages near the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, each imperial village has a limited recruitment quota.
An imperial village usually covers an area of several thousand hectares, so the area is naturally large and there are many tenants. Therefore, the chance that each imperial village can actually be selected into the first batch of soldiers is not very high.
After a period of rigorous selection, Xu Guangqi and Lu Jiude recruited about 4,000 Guards quasi-combatants for Zhu Youxiao.
The reason why there are more than what is actually needed is to facilitate elimination during the training process in the future.
"Your Majesty, I have completed the recruitment of 4,006 quasi-combat troops and 1,009 logistics troops according to the order."
On this day, Xu Guangqi and Lu Jiude reported to Zhu Youjian.
Zhu Youjian nodded after listening and said: "We will start training as soon as possible. I will personally appoint the fifty students who will graduate from the Daming Lecture Hall as flag officers of the Habayashi Guards Battle Camp." , and then each of them will lead a team to conduct queue training, and then divide the soldiers into various arms for combat and actual combat training according to the characteristics of the soldiers."
With that said, Zhu Youjian asked Liu Ruoyu: "Have the colorful embroidered robes of the Yulin Guards and the Yulin Guards helmets been made? There are also the embroidered spring knives and feathers that I want to give to the first batch of Yulin Guard officers of the Guards." Is Hayashi Konoe's card ready?"
"Go back to your Majesty! It's basically done."
Liu Ruoyu replied.
Although according to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, low-level officials cannot wear colorful embroidered robes, such as Feiyu suits, but Zhu Youxiao has issued a special decree to grant all Yulin Guards and Jinyi Guards, who are the so-called editors in later generations, to wear colorful embroidered robes. , but those with lower ranks will only wear cyan, but in any case, because it is a Chinese uniform, it can achieve Zhu Youxiao's purpose of enhancing the sense of honor of his own officers and soldiers.
The same goes for the Xiuchun Sword. In fact, not all Jinyi Guards can own it. Now that Zhu Youxiao has given this sword to the first batch of chief flag officers of the Yulin Guard, he naturally wants to treat it specially.
