"Let me think about it!"

Who will command the three battalions is an extremely serious question, and Zhu Houzhao did not dare to be careless. One name after another kept flashing through his mind.

"I intend to let the British Duke Zhang Mao command the Fifth Army Battalion and Hu Dakui to command the Three Thousand Battalion. As for the Shenji Battalion, I haven't thought of a suitable candidate yet."

The first generation commander-in-chief of the Fifth Army Camp was Zhang Yu. The British Zhang family was also most familiar with the combat mode of the Fifth Army Camp. It was most appropriate for Zhang Mao to be in charge of the Fifth Army Camp.

Hu Dakui, a descendant of Hu Daikui, the founding general of the Ming Dynasty, was born tall and burly, powerful and brave. He once followed Wang Yangming in his expedition to the grasslands and made great military exploits. He was as brave as his ancestor Hu Daikui, and he commanded the three thousand battalions that charged.

Very consistent.

Only the commander of the Shenji Battalion is difficult to choose. The Shenji Battalion specializes in firearms. The commander must not only be proficient in firearms warfare, but also know how to cooperate with the cavalry and infantry. Such a person is really hard to find. The whole government is full of people. Under Zhu Houzhao's leadership,

There is no such person in my impression.

Mu Kun, the Duke of Guizhou in the Mu Palace of Yunnan, is a suitable candidate, but the Mu Palace is in Yunnan and is of vital importance and cannot be easily transferred.

"Your Majesty, I have a person who may be able to command the Shenji Battalion."

Wang Yangming hesitated for a while, but decided to recommend someone to Zhu Houzhao. Although Zhu Houzhao would not like that person's background, his ability was beyond doubt.

"who?"

Zhu Houzhao became interested.

"Li Cheng!"

Wang Yangming introduced: "This man is the right-wing general of the fifth military camp in the Yongle period and a descendant of Li Bin, Marquis of Fengcheng. Although he failed to inherit the title of Marquis of Fengcheng, he knows military affairs, is familiar with the art of war, and is skilled in bow and horse. He is a very good person."

young general."

He knows military affairs and knows the art of war! Why does it sound so familiar?

Zhu Houzhao's face twitched slightly, as if he had met Li Jinglong, the war god of the Ming Dynasty. Back then, Zhu Yuanzhang also praised Li Jinglong as a man who knew soldiers, but it turned out that he only knew how to train troops and not fight. The battle with Zhu Di became a big joke.

Although from the bottom of his heart he didn't think much of Li Cheng, who had never been famous before, but in order to give some face to his confidant Wang Yangming, he still pretended to mutter: "Even if you are from a noble family, why haven't I heard of it before?"

his name."

"Li Cheng is the descendant of the previous generation of Marquis Fengcheng who was unintentionally left behind when he was wandering in a brothel. Although his surname is Li, he was not accepted by the Marquis of Fengcheng, so his reputation is not known. I also accidentally left him when I was out.

I got to know Li Cheng."

Wang Yangming said with a slight blush. He had a romantic affair all night and then refused to admit it when he picked up his pants. He even felt blushing for those nobles.

It is simply insulting to politeness, and such things have been common for a long time. No matter whether they are nobles, civil servants, or scholars who think they are noble, who doesn't like to hang out in brothels, each one claiming to be noble, but in fact each one is less important than the other.

"Fengcheng Hou Mansion, your honor, Li Cheng!"

A flash of light suddenly flashed before Zhu Houzhao's eyes. Regardless of whether Li Cheng had real talent or knowledge, he would be a very useful chess piece, a chess piece used to dismantle the Xungui Group.

Fengcheng Hou has an illegitimate child outside. As for the other nobles, they all like to visit brothels. There will be no accidents or two. There is a lot of room for maneuver!

For people like Li Cheng, Zhu Houzhao should support those who are talented, and Zhu Houzhao who is not talented should also support them. Those who are talented can be trained as confidants, and those who are not talented can be treated as raising a few pigs, which does not cost a lot of money. The most important thing is that they

It will be his sword that completely destroys the Xungui Group.

He had reached the limit of his patience with the noble group. For the sake of their ancestors' outstanding contributions to the Ming Dynasty, he did not touch them. He did not require them to be as loyal as the British Duke, nor did he require them to be as representative as the Mu Prince.

The imperial court suppressed one party and only asked them to be more peaceful. But they couldn't do it, so you can't blame him for being ruthless!

He suppressed the civil servant group, sent the Jiangnan gentry and wealthy families to farm in Liaodong, and planned a major blood change for the Xungui Group. After all, they had bloodshed with Lao Zhu's family, so he shouldn't go too far.

The concubine turns over and takes over the magpie's nest, which is a good drama!

It's a bit bloody, but it's very enjoyable and he also likes watching it.

"Since he is someone recommended by your beloved, why not bring him to me to have a look and test his abilities. If he is really talented, I will definitely promote him and put him in a more important position."

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile that the sword to defeat the Xungui Group has been found. The next step is the feudal king group. As for the sword to defeat the feudal king, who is more suitable than King Ning who is farming in Liaodong?

After working hard in Liaodong for many years, Prince Ning must have learned to be obedient!

"My lord, I obey the order!"

Next, Wang Yangming took Zhu Houzhao around the three major camps. Only the three major camps with less than 3,000 people were empty. The soldiers were all listless, their faces looked pale, their appearance was sluggish, and their military power was gone.

, there’s really nothing to see.

After a round of inspection, Zhu Houzhao was even more disappointed and did not want to read any more. He asked Wang Yangming to reorganize the three battalions as soon as possible, requiring that the fifth military camp recruit at least 50,000 people, the 3,000 battalion at 10,000, and the Shenji battalion at 5,000, for a total of six

There were 5,000 people, and then they returned to the palace.

After returning to the palace, Zhu Houzhao immediately asked Liu Jin to bring Hu Dakui to see him.

"The last general Hu Dakui is here to see your majesty, long live my emperor."

Hu Dakui, who was tall and burly, with an extremely ferocious face, like an evil tiger, paid homage to Zhu Houzhao.

"Okay, get up, you don't mind the trouble, I think it's unnecessary!"

Zhu Houzhao smiled and scolded, he liked this warrior he had discovered with his own hands very much.

Wang Yangming was "my Kongming" to him, and Hu Dakui was "my tiger lord" to him. He was brave, tough and loyal. Who wouldn't like such generals?

As much as Cao Mengde liked Tiger Hou Xu Chu, Zhu Houzhao liked Hu Dakui.

"hey-hey......"

Hu Dakui laughed foolishly and stood up from the ground. Looking at him, he was dressed in armor and military uniform, with a sword on his waist. He really looked a bit majestic like a Tiger of the Three Kingdoms.

"Do you know why I asked you to come?"

Zhu Houzhao said pretending.

"have no idea."

Hu Dakui blurted it out directly.

"You are now the commander of the Jinwu Guards. I intend to transfer you to command the Three Thousand Battalions. What do you think?"

Zhu Houzhao gave Hu Dakui enough face and gave him two options. One was to stay in Jinwu Guard and guard the palace for him, and the other was to take charge of the Three Thousand Battalion, so that he would have the opportunity to make contributions on the battlefield in the future.

"The final general will choose the Three Thousand Battalion."

Hu Dakui replied directly without thinking. A warrior like him should go to the battlefield to make meritorious deeds. As one of the emperor's guards, the Jinwu Guards were well paid, but they were not his pursuit.

"Very good, I look forward to the day when you will open up new territories for me."

Zhu Houzhao patted Hu Dakui on the shoulder happily and said: "The three major battalions have been almost ruined in recent years. After you go, train me hard. I don't care what you do, I only want a team that can be invincible."

Cavalry, if anyone refuses to obey, you can kill them first and then report them, and I will bear all the consequences for you."
