    March 18th of the first year of Tianqi!

    Although the weather in Beijing is still slightly chilly, spring is already in sight. The city of Beijing has already shown a different kind of vitality. Farmers outside the city have also begun to prepare for spring plowing. Even the Mongolian prisoners who are building roads,  He also wrapped his thick leather robe around his waist, humming and flexing his strength!

    At this time, in the camp in the west of the city, Zhu Youxiaoneng was sitting on the commander's hall. Li Jinzhong was standing behind him holding a fly whisk. Li Rubai and Cao Ling, two powerful figures in the Guards cavalry, stood respectfully below.  First of all, wait for Zhu Youxiao's instructions!

    Today, Zhu Youxiao is wearing a plain white Taoist robe. The scholar's crown on his head is placed on the handsome desk, revealing a neat side parting. This hairstyle was Zhu Youxiao's favorite in his previous life. It is both simple and mature, but no matter how mature it is,  The hair style, coupled with Zhu Youxiao's pink and jade-like face, which makes women jealous, it is difficult to make people feel mature!

    In fact, Zhu Youxiao has also been worried about his appearance recently. He really didn't expect that with Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance, after more than two hundred years of breeding and breeding of the best, his descendants would completely regain their disadvantage in appearance.  Moreover, everyone in the Zhu family is extremely beautiful!

    Coupled with Zhu Youxiao¡¯s hard practice and constant medicinal bathing, he is now covered in knives and tendons, but has skin that is more delicate than a woman¡¯s!

    Fortunately, Zhu Youxiao is the emperor, and no one dares to praise him in front of him, otherwise he will go crazy!

    Of course, this kind of annoyance did not affect what Zhu Youxiao was going to do with the Guards today. He glanced at Li Rubai and Cao Ling and said, "Cao Ling, choose two thousand cavalry, equip them with the best equipment, and set off in three days."  Head to the southeast. Li Jinzhong, who is accompanying you, will tell you what you need to do. However, you must remember that your responsibility is to threaten with force any person or force that dares to obstruct Li Jinzhong's work. It is not to support this piece of shit Li Jinzhong. If he wants to  Then you pretend to be powerful, just report it truthfully!"

    Li Jinzhong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, how dare this servant dare to do anything in your Majesty's name?"

    Zhu Youxiao glanced at Li Jinzhong and said, "You sound nice. In the Prince Dai's Mansion, you are quite powerful, and you are soft-handed in taking advantage. Do you really think I don't know about it?"

    Li Jinzhong's face turned pale. He hurried to the handsome case, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed, and cried out: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was confused for a moment and did something wrong. I am willing to take the punishment."  I will dedicate all the benefits to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, just spare this slave!"

    Zhu Youxiao curled his lips and said impatiently: "Isn't it just a matter of ten thousand taels of silver? It's no big deal. You went to Datong and brought me back more than four million taels of silver and half a million acres of fertile land.  , I originally wanted to reward you with a hundred and eighty thousand taels, but since you have already taken the money from the Prince's Palace, you can treat it as a reward from me. In addition, I will remember you thirty yuan. Don't dare to be greedy for petty things this time.  It¡¯s cheap, I will settle your new and old debts together when I come back!¡±

    Li Jinzhong felt his heart bleed after listening to Zhu Youxiao's words. He knew very well that the little emperor in front of him never ran away. Since he said he would be rewarded with one hundred and eighty thousand taels, he must not have run away. But  However, he was greedy for a moment and actually took 10,000 taels of silver from Prince Dai's palace. As a result, he not only lost the watermelon but picked the sesame seeds, he also got 30 pieces of silver for nothing!

    No matter how uncomfortable he felt, Li Jinzhong made a smile that was uglier than crying, kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty, I promise that I will never make a mistake again!"

    Zhu Youxiao waved his hand in disgust and asked Li Jinzhong to step back. Then he looked at Cao Ling and asked, "Do you remember what I said?"

    Cao Ling stood at attention and replied: "Your Majesty, I have remembered your words!"

    Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "Very good, this is the first appearance of the Guards. You have to be more beautiful, but don't be too rigid. You have to be adaptable. By the way, you also ransacked homes this time when you went to the southeast.  For those who are on errands, according to the rules, the brothers will take 30%, the palace will take 30%, and the remaining 40% will go to the court. Remember, as long as you do your job honestly, I will not hesitate to reward you, but if someone dares to cause trouble, my  Military law is also merciless!"

    Cao Ling replied sonorously and forcefully: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will never allow any violation of military discipline to occur in the Guards!"

    Colonel Zhu You was very satisfied with Cao Ling's attitude. He stood up and walked to Cao Ling and said, "I believe you, but I also want to remind you that that guy is making a fortune in Jiubian. You are in the Guards."  Don¡¯t lose to him!¡±

    A flash of light flashed in Cao Ling's eyes, and he obviously didn't like this guy very much, but he still suppressed his emotions and tried his best to calmly say: "Report to Your Majesty.Your Majesty, I have my responsibilities, and I have my responsibilities. No matter how well he does, as long as I follow His Majesty's will and do what His Majesty has told me, that is my loyalty to Your Majesty!  "

    "Hahahaha!" Zhu Youxiao laughed and patted Cao Ling on the shoulder and said: "You two have been competing with each other since the beginning. I know this, but competition is a good thing and can encourage you to work harder, but don't  Because we act like enemies. After all, we are all brothers. If we are not safe, you will have to go to the battlefield together one day!"

    Seeing that Zhu Youxiao had read through his thoughts, Cao Ling's face turned red, and he stood at attention and said, "I understand!"

    Zhu Youxiao didn't expect that he could let the enemies put aside their suspicions with just a few words. He waved his hands and said: "As long as you understand, go and prepare the troops!"

    Cao Ling stood at attention and saluted: "I obey, I will take my leave!"

    Looking at Cao Ling walking away proudly, Colonel Zhu You asked Li Rubai: "How does Commander Li think these soldiers are trained?"

    Li Rubai leaned slightly and said to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty's military skills are as good as the gods. After these three months of training, these ruffians brought back by me seem to have been reborn. If these elite soldiers are used in Liaodong, they will destroy Jianshe."  The slave general is no problem!"

    Zhu Youxiao did not show a happy expression, but pondered for a moment and said: "The infantry of the Guards has not been formed yet, and the strength of the cavalry is still very weak, so if you want to deal with a really strong enemy, you have to wait a little longer!  "

    Although Li Rubai didn't know what Zhu Youxiao meant, he still responded: "Iunderstand!"

    Zhu Youxiao smiled and shook his head and said: "You don't understand now, but you will understand soon. Okay, I'm going back. Your mission is to train the troops and make them sharper. I'm going to  It will become more convenient when you use it!¡±

    Li Rubai bowed and said: "I respectfully send you off to your majesty!"

    Zhu Youxiao left the camp, sat on his horse and fell into deep thought!

    In fact, Zhu Youxiao has always been paying attention to the training of the Guards Cavalry. He also knows that after these three months of training, the Guards Cavalry has initially acquired the qualities of a modern army. However, what makes Zhu Youxiao dissatisfied is that  , this army has too many branches, and its equipment is not strong enough. Zhu Youxiao really needs a nearly modern firearms force, not a strong army from the cold weapon period!

    Don¡¯t think that Zhu Youxiao¡¯s idea is unrealistic. In fact, before the arrival of the first industrial revolution, industrial technology around the world was basically at the same level. The gap between China and the West is also a matter of the direction of technology application.  It's not that the technology itself is inferior to other people's, Zhu Youxiao even felt that the craftsmanship of the craftsmen at the Yizao Office was much better than that of Western workshop owners.

    The significant symbol of the first industrial revolution that really widened the technological gap between the East and the West was the invention of the applicable steam engine in 1785, which is still more than 160 years ago!

    For now, the technological gap between China and the West is infinitely close to zero. Even because the Ming Dynasty had a complete craftsman system, it was actually easier for the Ming Dynasty to achieve large-scale industrial production under manual conditions!

    Taking the military industry as an example, the Ming Dynasty actually began to use firearms on a large scale during the Hongwu and Yongle years, and also developed three-stage strikes and five-stage strikes, which were commonly used firearm formations in the West in later generations!

    However, later on, because the Ming Dynasty gradually gave up its external expansion and turned to a conservative defense policy, and after the Tumubao Incident, the noble class suffered a heavy blow, so that the civilian officials completely took control of the government, and the Ming Dynasty's military technology and  The tactics fell into a huge retreat!

    After more than two hundred years of decay, craftsmen began to cut corners when making firearms. As a result, a large number of firearms used by the Ming army were of extremely poor quality. Eventually, the Ming army basically gave up the use of firearms in battle.

    On the contrary, the Qing army in later generations attached great importance to the development of firearms. After obtaining the firearm craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army used severe punishment to force the Ming firearm craftsmen to create qualified firearms, and then used these firearms to defeat the Ming army.  Falling flowers and running water!
