Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

Kyoto was the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty. It was centered on politics, culture, and economy. It was the most prosperous and bustling place, and consumption was naturally high. Every inch of land was precious, and money was precious.

Fortunately, there were many real estates under the royal family's name, and they were all near the palace. Zhu Youjian spent a lot of money to find masons and carpenters. According to the design drawings he drew, after ten days of simple repairs and modifications, it turned into a A small military camp large enough to accommodate about three thousand people.

This is the privilege of the emperor. Sufficient money, high wages, large numbers of people, and many other factors can produce such high efficiency.

A plaque reading The First Royal Regiment was hung on the main entrance of the military camp, and Zhu Youjian's First Royal Regiment was officially established.

Early the next morning, a group of eunuchs led three thousand young slaves into the city and reported to the military camp.

Zhu Youjian was presiding over the affairs of the court. When he heard the arrival of three thousand village slaves, he had no intention of presiding over the affairs of the state. Anyway, it was all trivial matters, so he simply dismissed the court early, put on casual clothes, and quietly slipped out of the palace.

Three thousand Zhuang slaves stood nervously on the flat martial arts field, quietly waiting for the emperor's review.

What Zhu Youjian wants to build is a new army that is completely different from the old traditional military system, and he is the only one who understands the entire Ming Dynasty. Therefore, he must do it personally and wear multiple hats. As the Ming emperor, he is born with a hard life.

Zhu Youjian also thought about it. Because the Royal First Regiment invested so much energy and effort in him, he wanted to train the Royal First Regiment into a seed regiment. When he had enough money to expand the army, the grassroots officers would start from the First Regiment. Draw the tune inside.

Although there were 3,000 young and strong Zhuang Nu servants in the martial arts arena, after a round of screening, Zhu Youjian ruthlessly eliminated 500 of them.

The five hundred servants of the village who were eliminated all had disappointed expressions on their faces, but after each received a tael of silver as comfort payment, a smile appeared on each of their faces, and they became more and more envious of their companions who could stay as soldiers.

With only a mere five hundred taels of silver, he won enough hearts and minds, and also encouraged the remaining 2,500 recruits to cherish this luck more and more, and train hard from now on to become a soldier who satisfies the emperor. .

After Zhu Youjian encouraged the 2,500 recruits who stayed behind, he first allowed them to form teams freely, with fifty people in one team, and then elected three captains, one captain, two mates, and deputy captains from the team, and then under the leadership of the captain and deputy captain Under the leadership of the soldiers, they lined up to receive daily necessities such as military uniforms, uniforms, shoes, caps, basins, and face towels, which made the recruits so happy that they could not close their mouths.

Because a large number of maids and eunuchs in the legion were organized in advance to sew a large number of military caps, shoes and uniforms, which was temporarily enough to supply two sets of 2,500 recruits.

The military cap uniform is an imitation of the black uniform of the German Wehrmacht during World War II. The difference is that the fabrics are incomparable. They are made of wear-resistant coarse cloth and tied with armed belts. The soldiers look very heroic and simple when wearing them, giving people a completely new mental outlook. .

The only troublesome part is the production of half-tube military shoes. The soles are sewn with thousand-layer cloth. The interlayer is also placed with thin iron sheets to prevent puncture by sharp objects. The soles are padded with soft insoles. After wearing them, they are tied tightly with special straps. Military shoes.

Not only are the quality excellent, they also look powerful and trendy, making them more fashionable than traditional expensive official shoes.

All the recruits were all servants of Zhuang slaves. They had been poor all their lives. How had they ever seen such high-end and luxurious military shoes, and everything was free. After being pleasantly surprised, they cherished this hard-won opportunity more and more, and secretly vowed to , I will stay even if I am exhausted from training.

After receiving their belongings, the soldiers from each team entered the brand-new barracks under the leadership of the captains and deputy captains. After putting away their personal belongings, they gathered on the martial arts field. This was the first time for all the soldiers, including the three captains and deputy captains, and the scene was chaotic. Yes, Zhu Youjian's head was as big as a bucket.

The spicy one next door, I can bear it and will never get angry.
