"I thank you, Your Majesty, and I am willing to die for Your Majesty!"
Cao Wenzhao and three others knelt down at the same time.
As a soldier, who wouldn't want to imitate the Han Dynasty champion and go straight to the Yellow Dragon, sealing the wolf and living in Xu?
There are no Xiongnu now, but there are Jiannu. The Jiannu are more ferocious than the Xiongnu, and the Ming Dynasty is currently under fierce attack from the Jiannu.
The Battle of Saerhu, the Battle of Ningjin, etc. all show that we are determined to establish slaves and destroy the Ming Dynasty.
As soldiers, due to issues with their official positions and high-level strategies against the enemy, they have no talent and love for their country, but they cannot go to the battlefield in person. What a pity.
Now that the emperor has made great efforts in military affairs, he has given them such an opportunity. It would be foolish not to seize it.
"Please rise, three beloved ladies."
Chongzhen personally helped the three people up, and this courtesy made them even more excited.
"Immediately, Cao Wenzhao will be the commander of Tengxiang's left guard, Zhou Yuji will be the commander of Tengxiang's right guard, Huang Degong will be the commander of Wuxiang's left guard, and the commander of Wuxiang's right guard is to be decided. Before the new commander takes office, Fang Zheng Both transformation and management.”
Of the four Tengxiang guards, only the commander of Wu Xiang's right guard was unavailable, and Chongzhen did not have a good candidate for the time being.
As for famous generals such as Sun Chuanting and Zhao Shujiao, it is not appropriate to place them in the Tengxiang Four Guards. There are other considerations.
Cao Bianjiao on the side looked at the three people who were thanking him, his eyes full of envy. Although he was brave, firstly, he was not old enough, and secondly, he was now a hundred households, so he was naturally inferior compared to the three of them.
Chongzhen naturally saw the look on Cao Bianjiao's eyes: "Bianjiao, aren't you envious?"
"yes!"
Cao Bianjiao didn't hide it at all, his eyes were full of excitement.
"Then tell me why you were not appointed?"
"Your Majesty, I consider myself brave..."
"cough……"
Cao Wenzhao coughed and said in a low voice: "Change into a dragon, don't do it in front of Your Majesty!"
Unexpectedly, Cao Bianjiao didn't care at all: "Uncle, I am a soldier, and I am still a young soldier. What can I say? It is a recognized fact in your army that I am brave."
"Okay, straight-tempered, I like it!"
Chongzhen patted Cao Bianjiao on the shoulder: "Keep talking!"
"Your Majesty, although I am brave, I am only 19 years old this year. My age is here, and I am only from a hundred households. The Four Guards of Tengxiang are known as the Forbidden Army among the Forbidden Army. The sergeants have their own arrogance.
Although there were some problems in the past, after Mr. Fang rectified the situation, I believe that all the remaining members of the four guards are good players. Your Majesty is worried that I will not be able to suppress them.
Secondly, I am under the command of my uncle. Although my uncle is fair and selfless, outsiders may not think so. They think that I am nepotistic, which will give people a bad impression.
If you are preconceived, it will not be easy to take care of you even if you are good. This is contrary to your Majesty’s original intention of rectification.
Thirdly, Your Majesty hates party strife. My uncle is already the commander of the Tengxiang Guards. If I were to serve as the commander of the Fourth Guards of Tengxiang again, I would be easily criticized.
Based on the above three points, Your Majesty did not let me go to the four guards of Tengxiang. "
After listening to Cao Bianjiao's analysis, everyone nodded.
But Chongzhen was speechless in his heart. He wanted to complain about Cao Bianjiao, why is a child like you so thoughtful?
But from the side, Cao Bianjiao's thoughts are delicate.
The perfect combination of bravery and delicacy is exactly what he needs.
"That's your analysis, right!"
"That's not right either!"
When everyone heard what Chongzhen said, their curiosity suddenly increased. They asked themselves and analyzed the following reasons.
Chongzhen walked slowly in the Wenhua Hall with his hands behind his back.
"The age, nepotism, etc. you mentioned are not a problem for me. As soldiers, the soldiers of Tengxiang Four Guards must obey orders. No matter who I arrange, even if they have opinions or dissatisfaction, they must listen. .
I can promote the three of them out of the ordinary, so why can’t I promote you out of the ordinary? "
"As for the party struggle you mentioned at the end, it is not a problem. Since I can arrange for you, then I am not afraid. Since I can destroy the eunuchs, I can naturally destroy others. If they dare to fight in the party, then I will kill them."
When Chongzhen said this, he happened to reach the gate of Wenhua Hall.
The light that entered the hall from the gate happened to hit Chongzhen. At this moment, everyone felt the domineering and confidence of Chongzhen.
Chongzhen ignored everyone's expressions and continued: "I didn't appoint you to the Four Guards of Tengxiang because you have other places to go."
Everyone was a little confused, but Fang Zhenghua's eyes lit up and he guessed Chongzhen's intention.
Sure enough, the next moment Chongzhen said: "After the Tengxiang Four Guards were reorganized, they no longer guard me in Kyoto. Although I have Jinyi Guards around me, I still want to form an army directly under me.
Fang Zhenghua just said that after the first phase of the assessment of the Four Guards is completed, two thousand people will be selected. These two thousand people will be my direct guards.
The Four Guards of Tengxiang are known as the Forbidden Army among the Forbidden Army. This guard of mine is the Forbidden Army among the Forbidden Army, the ace among the aces, the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty. They can ride and shoot to charge when mounted, but they are better at fighting when dismounted. I Give it the name Warriors Camp,
So, are you interested in serving as the commander of this guard? "
Cao Wenzhao and the other three were stunned, and Cao Bianjiao was so shocked that his mouth opened. He never expected such a result.
If what Chongzhen said is true, the Warrior Battalion is definitely the pinnacle of the Ming army's combat power. It is a supreme honor to lead such an army.
As for the commander of the warrior camp, Chongzhen initially wanted to choose one of the nephews of Ma Xianglin and Qin Liangyu, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
Father and son soldiers fight, brothers go into battle. This is the foundation of the white-pole soldiers' strong combat power. It would be inappropriate if they were transferred away.
The arrival of Cao Bianjiao made him instantly decide that he should be the commander of the Warrior Battalion.
After the shock, Cao Bianjiao said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, can the warrior camp go to the battlefield?"
"What do you think?"
"I am willing!"
After hearing Chongzhen's rhetorical question, Cao Bianjiao realized that what he was asking was nonsense and instantly knelt down.
If we don't go to the battlefield, what will we do to form this warrior battalion? You also need to be able to mount a horse to shoot and charge, while dismounting is better than fighting. Isn't this a waste?
"Okay, from today on, you are the commander of the warrior camp. Those men are all good players. It's up to you how to conquer them.
For the appointment of all generals in the warrior camp, you can directly appoint the 100th household and below, while the 1,000th household will be selected and reported to Fang Zhenghua. As long as both of you agree, if you have any disagreements, just report it to me.
Training, recruitment, number of staff, etc. are all decided by you. I only want results. "
"I accept the decree!"
After Cao Bianjiao thanked him, Chongzhen looked at everyone.
"Oh, by the way, Lu Xiangsheng is forming the Tianxiong Army, Li Banghua is reorganizing the 21st Guards, and Li Ruolian is reorganizing the Jinyi Guards. There will be a martial arts performance in June next year. The White Guards and the Beijing Camp will participate. I hope you can get a good ranking. .”
"I will live up to your Majesty's trust!"
"Fang Zhenghua, please go and meet the four beauties on my behalf, and let's keep in touch with each other!"
"My dear companion, please go to the internal funds and give each of us five hundred taels of silver for shelter."
PS: 500 taels is not a small amount. The annual salary of the second-grade dynasty was almost 500 taels. According to records, in the 13th year of Chongzhen's reign, there was a small courtyard house on Zhengyangmen Street in Beijing, with two south rooms and two north rooms. A wing room is sold for only 33 taels.
This move is also used to solve the worries of the four people and get into training as soon as possible.
When it comes to money, Chongzhen sighed. There is really not enough money to spend. Now it is just the preliminary stage. When the Tengxiang Four Guards and Tianxiong Army are formed, spending money will be like water.
And when Bi Maokang and others come back, their research is also a bottomless pit. If they don't have enough money, everything will be in vain.
The fastest way to get money is of course to ransack your home. Thinking of this, Chongzhen looked at the commander of the Jin Yiwei, Li Ruolian.
"Li Ruolian, how is the renovation of the Jinyiwei?"
