Lao Zhu made an exception and allowed Zhu Su to form the King Wu Guard in advance on the grounds that Zhu Su needed protection when he was recuperating outside the city. This was the first time among the kings. You know, even the King of Qin Zhu Xiang has already entered the palace, but he has not yet begun to form his own King of Qin Guards.
Among the Zhu family brothers, those who had their own private soldiers were previously only the crown prince's guards led by Prince Zhu Biao.
"These are the ones I brought for you to supplement King Wu's guard. They are all from good families, and their foundation is absolutely reliable." Li Wenzhong pointed to the young men lined up over there and said to Zhu Su. As Li Wenzhong shouted loudly, the young men all knelt down on one knee, imitating the kneeling salute in the military, clasping their fists and shouting in unison: "See His Majesty the King of Wu!"
The oldest among these teenagers was only four or five years older than Zhu Su at this time. This should be the age when people are fearless and fearless, but after they finished shouting, it was so quiet that it seemed a bit scary.
What was most difficult for Zhu Su to understand was that the sadness and confusion in the eyes of these people was something that ordinary young people should not have.
"These are the orphans of Paoze who died in the army during the Northern Expedition." Li Wenzhong told Zhu Su after the placement was completed. What a big man, with tears in his eyes: "Their father and brother followed me through life and death in northern Xinjiang. I was trapped in a tight siege, but thanks to them they saved me with their lives. They really saved me with their lives!"
"They are all elite soldiers. An entire guard station has died, and the only ones left are women, children, and young men like this. After the death of father and son, they also wanted to be soldiers. When they heard that you were recruiting troops here, they simply decided to join the army. I begged your majesty to transfer people here to take care of him. This is all after Zhongliang..." Li Wenzhong's words were somewhat illogical, but Zhu Su understood that he felt that he owed the soldiers who followed him on the northern expedition. One general's success will lead to thousands of bones being withered. The conclusion of this northern expedition to the imperial court is that there will be no reward and no punishment. Li Wenzhong felt so guilty that he couldn't even sleep well because he didn't even get any merit from his dead brother.
"Brother Bao'er, needless to say, you can help me find such a good Wang Wei. I thank you before it's too late. But I think it's inevitable that they will have other things in mind when they are separated from their families. How about letting them move their families here too?" "Zhu Su said. He didn't think there was any blame for Li Wenzhong using his royal guard quota to compensate the families of the soldiers who died in battle. They are all martyrs! Everyone should erect a monument to pass it down to future generations. Without them, what kind of world would the old Zhu family have?
Zhu Su would only applaud Li Wenzhong when he advocated for him in this way. With such soldiers and generals, why worry about the Ming Dynasty not being prosperous?
"Brother Su, you really know the general situation!" Seeing Zhu Su's attitude, Li Wenzhong laughed in surprise. To be honest, he didn't have a deep impression of Zhu Su, but now he really feels closer to him.
The most indispensable thing in the Ming Dynasty now is land, even around Yingtian Mansion. When people move here, they don't have to worry about not having a place to settle down, so they can just continue to develop the land. Wang Wei's family should be protected and raised by the prince, so how could there be any reason to let them fend for themselves outside?
The royal guards, who were all young people, had tears in their eyes. Being able to not be separated from their families completely swept away the confusion in their eyes, and the group of people were full of energy. Every morning Li Wenzhong took these half-sized boys to start training, making the whole Bifeng Mountain roar.
….
"Brother Su, what are you doing?" One morning, Li Wenzhong, who was training his soldiers in the temporary school field, saw Zhu Su and Li Jinglong doing push-ups and squats in the corner. He couldn't help but curious and asked.
"Oh. This is a method of exercise. Since I fell into the water last time, I have felt that my body is too weak, so I have tried this method to strengthen my body. When I was in the palace, my brothers and I practiced this way ." Zhu Su said while wiping his sweat.
"Same goes for my son. He felt his health was really bad, so he learned some skills from his fifth uncle." Li Jinglong also said. "I called Zhu Tiezhu that guy, but since he came to Zhuangzi, he has locked himself in the room and seen no one. He obviously came to ask for forgiveness, but the score was bigger than anyone else's. It seems that everyone owes him It’s like it’s his!”
Zhu Shouqian and Zhu Su also felt a little angry. When Deng Yu was there that day, this guy even reluctantly apologized, but now that Deng Yu is gone, this guy just let it go. He keeps putting on a dead face and doesn't know who he's showing it to. He usually stays in his room without seeing anyone. Those who don't know it think it's him who comes to Zhuangzi for recuperation!
"This kid Tiezhu... Wenzheng left this kid early.
There was no one to teach him, so he turned into a loner. It’s time for good discipline and discipline! "Li Wenzhong frowned deeply. He is also related to Zhu Wenzheng, and Zhu Shouqian is also his junior. He naturally has the power to discipline.
"Brother Bao'er, I think military training is the best way to get rid of a person's bad habits. The military is like a furnace. No matter what kind of scrap copper or iron it is, it can always be tempered into a piece of steel for him in this furnace! "Zhu Su started to fan the flames with bad intentions. He must give the awkward Zhu Shouqian some pain.
"Well..." Li Wenzhong was thoughtful. Li Jinglong and Zhu Shouqian had always disliked each other, so they jumped out and said, "Dad, I think what the fifth uncle said is right! There is a complete version of the fifth uncle's training method, so use that method to train Zhu Shouqian!"
"Oh?" Li Wenzhong was intrigued by these words. He turned to Zhu Su and asked, "Brother Su, do you have any training methods?"
"It's just to strengthen the body. It shouldn't be anything special compared to ordinary training methods for soldiers." Zhu Su nodded. He had already compiled the training methods of later generations that he could remember into a book, and the training he did every day now was a simplified version of these. When I gave the booklet to Li Wenzhong, I thought it was just a way to train the soldiers' physical strength. How could a famous general like Li Wenzhong not know about it? Who knew that the more Li Wenzhong looked at it, the more surprised he looked in his eyes.
"Brother Su, where did you find this body-refining method? The people you trained with this are not ordinary soldiers, they are the best warriors in the world!"
"Ah?" Zhu Su was stunned by what he said. The method of body refining? Is it that high-minded? When I heard it, I thought it was some kind of cultivation method!
"Oh. I won't ask where you got this method from." Before Zhu Su could answer, Li Wenzhong stopped talking. Lao Zhu specifically asked not to ask more questions when he discovered Zhu Su's abilities, but it was already against the order to ask him suddenly. He picked up the book and read it again and again, and asked Zhu Su: "How sure are you of your training method...? It won't kill anyone, right?"
"As long as the meals follow this standard, there is a 90% certainty that no one will die." Zhu Su said. This method was refined over time by later generations. How can it be so easy to kill people?
"Hiss!" Li Wenzhong gasped. With such a large amount of training, there was a 90% chance that no one would be killed?
This is repeated impact at the limit of what the human body can withstand! How strong will the soldiers trained in this way be?
