Ruoyu, go get a pen and paper, register them, record their names, ages, addresses, and family circumstances in detail, and then make a copy and send it to the Qianqing Palace." Zhu Youxiao did the first thing when he came back. It's nothing else, but to report in detail the situation of recruiting people.

Wanli's move to increase the number of guards at the Qianqing Gate made Zhu Youxiao notice that the fact that he, one of the princes, had military power had touched the most sensitive chord in the emperor's heart, even if the person holding military power was his most beloved. Sun Tzu, even if Wanli himself has slacked off in political affairs.

Under this situation, Zhu Youxiao had to be extremely careful and report everything to Wanli.

It has to be said that his caution was too correct. However, after Liu Ruoyu sent the roster, a commendation order followed, praising Zhu Youxiao for being very filial and cautious, and not being reckless. A special reward of ten thousand taels of silver.

Listening to the eunuch's oral instructions, Zhu Youxiao was speechless. These emperors are a group of persecuted paranoid patients. They feel that there are always villains who want to harm me all day long.

"Old Wei, you go and take them to take a bath, change their clothes, have a good meal, and divide them into beds. Cheng'en, go and gather the teaching team for me first. I have something to tell them." After getting rid of the eunuch who delivered the oral instructions, Zhu Youxiao started to do business.

At this time, with his informal establishment of a government office, the duties of the three eunuchs were gradually fixed. Liu Ruoyu was in charge of paperwork and order delivery, Wang Chengen was in charge of financial statistics and account management, and Wei Zhongxian was in charge of Walking outside the palace, dealing with specific things and inquiring about information.

"Yes, young master." The two eunuchs agreed with their hands, and then went to do their business.

Under Wei Zhongxian's angry scolding, these half-grown men who were already cautious and did not dare to move obediently followed to a spacious room next to it. There was a public bathroom, and there were firemen who had already prepared clothes inside.

The clothes now given to them are not the mandarin duck battle coats of the Ming Dynasty Guard Army, but the clothes of servants of wealthy families outside. The dusty clothes do not look beautiful at all, but at least they do not affect their physical strength.

The teaching team had gone through two years of rigorous training and assembled very quickly. Almost half-grown men had just been herded into the bathroom. These green-robed eunuchs stood straight in front of him in two rows.

The upright posture, neat queues, and loud slogans all attracted the attention of those boys who had not yet entered. Although the voices of these eunuchs were a bit shrill and unpleasant, this did not hinder the appeal of the young people in the collective team of the army. .

"Reporting to Your Highness, the training team has been assembled. There should be twenty people, but there are actually twenty people. Please give instructions." With a snap, Wang Chengen ran over, knelt down on one knee, and after a military courtesy, he reported loudly.

"Take a break." Zhu Youxiao gave the order without expression.

"Yes!" Wang Chengen shouted loudly, then stood up and ran back to give the order.

Looking at this scene, Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly: "This old-fashioned Ming army etiquette seems a bit outdated. Not only is it not concise enough, but it also requires kneeling. Invisibly, the personality of junior officers is lower than that of their superiors. This It goes against my original intention of changing customs."

Wang Chengen ran to the front of the queue and shouted loudly, "Take a break."

With a sudden collapse, all the eunuchs in green stretched out their right feet and stood upright. Seeing that they were ready, Zhu Youxiao gave up thinking for the time being and walked over slowly to lecture.

He slowly glanced at everyone and said loudly: "You are all trained by me. In a sense, you are all my students and my soldiers. I know that after two years of hard training,

You all like the life you live now, which is simple, innocent, united, and loving. You also know that I am using you for military training. My requirements are very strict and weird. You never hesitate wherever you go, and everything is done in accordance with the requirements.

Do what I say and do your best."

"In fact, you did your best. If it weren't for physical reasons, you would be the best soldiers." After saying this, Zhu Youxiao paused and looked at the twenty eunuchs in front of him. Regarding these two eunuchs,

He was extremely familiar with the ten people. He could call everyone by name, and he knew where everyone was from.

The twenty eunuchs were silent, not a single sound came out, as if they were twenty sculptures, motionless. Their expressions were a little sad. Two years of hard training had made them accustomed to it, and they gradually fell in love with it.

this kind of life.

Even before they gathered, they knew that the teaching team was going to be broken up and they needed to bring in new people. But even though they were prepared, they were still a little dim. But this was not because Zhu Youxiao said that they couldn't be the best.

Soldiers, but because they were about to separate, they received their ministry to do.

Once there is a ministry, there will be good and bad, there will be disputes, and there will be a struggle for interests. From now on, life will never be as simple as it is now. Under interests, no one among these twenty eunuchs

I can guarantee that I will not betray my friend who has lived with him for two years for profit. Ordinary normal people cannot guarantee this, not to mention that they have experienced both warmth and cold, understand profit, and are in one of the filthiest places in the world.

eunuch in the palace.

Disbanding training and starting to lead people, it is like a baby being born, coming from the mother's belly to this dirty world. This is the reason for their real sadness, not that they cannot become the best soldiers.

After all, they are eunuchs, not soldiers, and glory is of no use to them. But Zhu Youxiao didn't know this, and he still told it based on his past experience.

"Although you can't become the best soldiers, I hope you can become the best instructors and pass on what you learned from me to the new students bit by bit." Zhu Youxiao said loudly.

Looking at the expressions of the young eunuchs below, he was somewhat satisfied. No matter what the reaction was, as long as what he said had an effect.

Originally he didn't want to talk about it, but then he thought about it and it seemed a little inappropriate to start like this. It felt very inconsistent. In the end, he decided to add such a speech. The effect now seems to be good, at least

Aren't some people quite sad?

Afterwards, when Zhu Youxiao saw that the boys had not finished taking a shower, he opened his mouth again and casually chatted with some encouraging words. Big words cannot fool people. Only real interests can drive countless people to take action.

For the first batch of ten people, since the number was somewhat unexpected, Zhu Youxiao planned to go into battle in person and let the twenty eunuchs who were instructors see how he was trained, and then the follow-up personnel came, and they

Teaching on the field.

After he had finished saying what he had to say, Wei Zhongxian had also finished allocating things. In fact, there was nothing to allocate. There were high and low wooden beds for ten people, and everything was sent from him. He only needed to divide the beds and put things on them.

Enough.

Ten teenagers gathered together, standing crookedly in a row. Next, the painful recruit training was about to begin. This pain was not only for Zhu Youxiao, but also for these ten teenagers.

Based on the materials he had read before on training new soldiers during the Red Army period, he explained to them step by step in detail, which side is back, which side is left, what is looking to the right, how to look forward, and what to do when taking a break.

What is going on, what is alignment, what is the straight line.

After the explanation was completed, and everyone had a red rope tied to their right hand and right foot, he began to give orders for the first time.

"Look to the right!" Zhu Youxiao's slogan was very standard. It was full of energy, long in rhyme, and very pleasant to listen to. However, the performance of the ten boys was terrible. Some stood still, and some turned their whole bodies.

, and some turned their heads to the left, with different postures.

Seeing this situation, there was no need for Zhu Youxiao to be angry. This had been expected by him. After letting them recover and stand upright again, he started to explain again and started all over again.

However, I don’t know why, but the ten teenagers never got it right once. No matter what, someone always made a mistake. The explanations and trainings again and again gradually wore away Zhu Youxiao’s patience, and a trace of impatience appeared on his face.

The look on his face was the same for those teenagers who had been trained.

The sun gradually drifted towards noon, and the sun shone brightly. Perhaps because these teenagers knew the identity of Zhu You, a relative of the school emperor, they did not dare to take any verbal offense, but they also showed impatient and hungry expressions on their faces.

.

From the time they came in in the morning until now, they haven't eaten or drank anything, and they have been moving around constantly, causing their stomachs to growl.

Repeating useless exercises over and over again wears down people's patience. After making countless mistakes, Zhu Youxiao finally broke out. He picked up a whip next to him and started whipping the round-faced boy who made the most mistakes.

past.

"Are you a pig? You make mistakes every time, and it's always the same mistake. You look to the left every time." With a few cracks of the whip, most of the anger in Zhu Youxiao's heart immediately dissipated.

But he still yelled fiercely: "If anyone makes another mistake later, I will whip him three times."

"Look right."

Perhaps because of the threat of the whip, there were many people who did the right thing this time, including the round-faced Li Tu just now. Carrying the whip, Zhu Youxiao walked in front of the person who did the wrong thing, and struck him with three whips.

Let the person who was punished take a breath of cold air.

After being whipped, all the culprits looked at Li Tu, the first one who was beaten, in a different light, because he was the only one who had resisted without making a sound, while the others behind him could not help but hiss in pain.

After the cracking of the whip, the training was repeated again, this time with the wrong person

Another one is missing. Training over and over again, coupled with whipping again and again, seems to be very effective.

This went back and forth three or four times, and after everyone had been pumped once, suddenly, after Zhu Youxiao gave the order, everyone did the right move.

This surprised him very much, and also made the teenagers who were waiting for the whip sound uncomfortable for a while.

"You are really tops, you can't do it without smoking!" Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao laughed and scolded, and then shouted loudly: "Disband, let's eat!"

"kill!"

What responded to him was a loud and joyful killing sound.
Chapter completed!
