Is the emperor trying to privately hide armor and weapons?

Luo Sigong always felt that something was wrong with the words that flashed through his mind.

Looking at the confused Jinyi Assistant, the little emperor showed a mysterious smile.

Luo Sigong thought about it and asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, what does Your Majesty want them to do when practicing Tengxiang left and right guards?"

He planned to persuade the emperor that as a hereditary Jinyiwei official who has been deeply favored by the emperor for generations, he believed that he had the obligation to stop the emperor's absurd actions. At present, the rebellion of guards in various provinces in the world that lasted for several years was coming to an end. More and more generals from martial arts lecture halls were transferred to various places, and the troops in various places were replenishing new firearms in large quantities.

Especially the two types of guns and cannons. Some guards have insufficient resources and connections. Even bird gunners don’t need armor and have to prepare enough bird guns. This thing is a big gap. The emperor’s lion opened his mouth and had to manage the Ministry of War to transfer more than 10,000 bird guns. These weapons will definitely not be used up in the two guards.

Instead of letting the weapons fall into the warehouse and eat dust, it is better to let other garrisons short of weapons fill up the weapons as soon as possible.

The key is in the eyes of anyone, Tengxiang left and right guards will not leave Beijing to fight. What's the use of no matter how well-equipped the equipment is?

The little emperor raised his hand in approvingly and signaled Luo Sigong to ask the point. He said, "What are you doing? Naturally, you need to go out to the frontier."

He had already thought about Tengxiang's left and right guards.

The Ministry of War and the Cabinet agreed to let him command the two guards, but the number of troops was too small, which was contrary to Xiao Wanli's grand blueprint.

In his eyes, the situation on the northern border should be like now, with a large number of standing troops, some elite troops, and a main force that plays a decisive role in the war.

In the past, these three were recruited by the military army, the battalion, and the generals and servants, but in the eyes of the emperor, they should be recruited by the military camp, the generals and servants and his personal army.

To achieve this goal, ten thousand people are not enough, at least twenty thousand must be there.

He only has two guards, how can he have an army of 20,000?

The reserve team, like the Beiyang military training, has one guard trained every moment, and one guard is being trained.

Copying this situation to the left and right guards of Tengxiang who had just entered the recruitment process, is to train at the same time, two main guards and two reserve guards.

Anyway, he can afford it, and no one has ever said that the garrison station cannot have a reserve team.

It's just that no one can do this.

But Wanli can do it!

It just so happened that the flag troops of the left and right guards of Tengxiang were taken away by Chen Ju. The only one left was a few melons and the other was not many. This time, Wanli stopped the army and was transferred directly from the Beijing camp.

"By the way, the Beijing Camp's vacancies are more than 40,000 yuan this time. If I draw another 20,000 yuan, it will be nearly 70,000 yuan. What's more, I am not very relieved to investigate this matter."

Wanli said to Luo Sigong: "You are back, and you are quietly sending the Ti cavalry to explore, and discover all the soldiers of each battalion and guards. Report the old, weak, sick and disabled to me. Do you know?"

This is considered the old profession of the Jinyiwei. Luo Sigong immediately clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do this!"

It’s not that Little Wanli can’t trust the eunuchs. What he trusts the most in the world are eunuchs and Jinyi, but such things cannot be decided by believing in them.

One person may not accept bribes, and two people may not be dissuaded, but if there are too many people sent out, it is not the mission of inspecting the shortages in the Beijing camp. They cannot guarantee that they will lie on the return of the troops.

Now that I have changed to Tiqi to do this, the reward I get in the future is likely to be another number.

Xiao Wanli had a vague guess in his heart. According to the vacancies in other wards, he felt that the Beijing camp might have only 200,000 troops.

Wanli himself didn't know whether there were 100,000 people suitable for military service or not.

None of this fits his mind's concept of the army.

From childhood to adulthood, he read the war strategy and military books compiled by Nanyang, where there was a casual army. Except for Chen Mu's headquarters, the mixed vassal army had clear distinction between regular troops and elite troops in terms of battlefield responsibilities.

It is very obvious that a small number of elite troops are supplemented by large-scale regular troops and are organized as the main force on the battlefield.

In those armies, they were divided into strength and weakness, and were divided into good customs, but the regular army only looked weak. They chose the Nanyang young and strong body with strong body and compliance with regulations. They also received a long training and learning period of at least half a year. The difference between strength and weakness is whether their equipment is excellent and whether they use the world's first-class firearms.

It was also the ideal guard army in Wanli, full of vitality, young flag army equipped with breastplate, hat and helmet and bird guns.

Due to financial resources, their equipment, physical fitness and artillery can be worse than the best army, but morale and training level are essential.

Because Wanli has seen too many examples of the Nanyang Army, the ones that lose their advantage are often not the fatal blows caused by one or several battles, but the deserters who are low in morale and are about to collapse.

Once the first batch of deserters appear on the battlefield, cities behind may be handed over.

The country cannot be protected by such an army.

Wanli has been considering a long time to disarmament. Starting from the Beijing Camp, 50,000 people were laid off, and 50,000 people were laid off after the rest were still not managed, until the atmosphere improved, until the army slowly reunited, and until the first phase of the East Fleet flag army retired and returned.

Of course, what he thought was not to completely abolish all the guards. Although those flag troops for generations were not capable of fighting, they could run away, but once they were completely abolished, it would be difficult to make a living. The condition that allowed them to continue to survive was that they had to have land.

Therefore, Xinmingzhou and Yazhou are good places. As long as you give land, those half-soldiers and half-agricultural flag soldiers can bring their families to live well, and the problem of redundant soldiers in the court can be solved.

To do all this, Wanli must start by recruiting elite soldiers and training strong soldiers, at least allowing them to protect the border when fighting possible attacks, and then slowly withdraw their troops.

Otherwise, this would be a fool.

After Luo Sigong left, Xiao Wanli climbed onto the boat table with his arms, and while there was no one around lying on the deck, he looked up at the hanging palace lanterns, and squinted his eyes and wandered in the ocean of fantasy.

He was fantasizing when he could go to Beiyang, Tianjin again, and sail at sea on a huge warship. At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder where the Wanli should sail according to its speed?

Just as Emperor Wanli was fantasizing, the cabinet received a letter from Nanyang, which said that the Shuanglin ship, who followed the Wanli ship to sea as an envoy, had been ordered to return, carrying animals and plants from the Americas on the ship.

Xiao Wanli could feel that the imperial court's development in Asia was gratifying, and domestic problems could be found abroad, and he had a clearer feeling about this than anyone else!

However, when he saw the order of goods delivered by the fast horses and fast ships to the Forbidden City in a vague way, everything made him overjoyed. Not only were there countless rare goods from Asia, but especially at the bottom of the letter, it was Chen Mu's warehouse that was difficult to transport, and the suggestion of the Chaotian Palace in Asia. What did the little emperor feel?

He felt very itchy when he saw it!
