It is related to his own safety, Zhu Youlang dare not be careless. If he dies before he achieves his achievements, it will not taste good if he eats anything.

There are four masters in the Shadow Guard, all of whom are surnamed Lin, namely Hong, Fu, Qi, and Tian. Zhu Youlang has a very reasonable reason to doubt whether the person who named them was the one who read "The Deer and the Cauldron" and "Hong Fu Qi Tian" can easily remind people of Master Hong.

In theory, Zhu Youlang should have sent one of the four masters to track the whereabouts of the assassin and would have a greater grasp of it. But he didn't think so. Since the assassin's ultimate goal is himself, he would probably come again, so the four masters must not leave him.

The next day, Zhu Youlang called Ma Jixiang to make him loose on the outside and tight on the inside. He closely investigated suspicious figures in Guangzhou City and strengthened the defense of the periphery.

When Ma Jixiang heard that there was an assassin in the palace last night, many eunuchs, palace maids and guards died, he was shocked at the time: If something happened to the emperor, his head would definitely move.

He quickly kowtowed and apologized, but Zhu Youlang did not blame him.

Ma Jixiang was grateful to the emperor for his magnanimity. After thanking the emperor for his kindness, he hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

...

Internal affairs are left to the cabinet for responsibility. These senior officials are rare talents. Except for major issues that must be taken into account, Zhu Youlang does not need to worry about some small matters or existing rules.

Therefore, Zhu Youlang was able to free up his time and devote all his energy to military use.

...

Li Yuanyin has been in a very comfortable mood since surrendering to Ming Dynasty.

The braid that made him feel very uncomfortable was finally cut off, and his clothes returned to his familiar Hanfu, official etiquette, speaking words, and dealing with his superiors and colleagues, were all so happy.

The most important thing is that I protect the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the king of the Han people. The pleasure brought by this kind of spiritual pursuit is definitely not comparable to that of a king of a foreign race for survival or for glory and wealth. What's more, I protect a smart and wise monarch, a monarch with foresight and broad mind. How can I not make him happy?

The Ming army was changed to the Ming People's Liberation Army, and they were kind to the surrendered soldiers and generals, and they were entrusted with important tasks. The way of using troops was to emphasize "using strange things", vigorously develop the navy, and the pensions for disabled soldiers... and other strategies opened Li Yuanyin's eyes and admired Zhu Youlang, as he was like the water of the Yangtze River. He asked himself that if the emperor asked him to die, he would not hesitate.

Therefore, the emperor appointed him as the commander of the imperial guards and handed him over the important task of protecting the capital and imperial guards. He was not only grateful but also admired him, and he devoted himself to practicing and transforming the imperial guards.

The imperial guards were composed of 10,000 surrendered soldiers from Li Chengdong and 1,000 surrendered soldiers from Chen Shihao, and the main body was surrendered soldiers.

Most of these surrendered soldiers came from the former peasant uprising army led by Gao Jie and Li Chengdong. They were very combat-effective, but due to their identity and resume, they naturally became very ill-fighted.

The rule of officers deducting military pay, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, this rule has not changed; selling military supplies to fill their personal bags, corruption has long become a trend; the most serious thing is the relationship between the soldiers and the civilians. It is common for soldiers to bully the people, steal the people's property, and harm the lives of the people. Therefore, soldiers regard the people as fat sheep, and the people regard the soldiers as fierce beasts.

All the bad habits of these old army are obviously very different from the emperor's idea of ​​governing the army.

Learning from the pain, Li Yuanyin followed the emperor's will, on the one hand, focused on military training, and on the other hand, focused on "ideological education", which is what the emperor called the transformation of the old army.

Military training is easy to talk about, exercise, practice knife, arrow, and practice riding and shooting. These are all clichés. Whether it is Li Yuanyin, deputy envoys Chen Shihao, Su Xiong, and Chen Zhongwu, they are all familiar with it and are not at all difficult.

The difficulty is ideological education work.

Most officers and soldiers do not understand the concept of the People's Liberation Army, and it is difficult to have a sense of identity.

What is the People? What does the People's Liberation Army mean? What is the difference between the original garrison soldiers and border soldiers? It's just a name. Is it necessary to change it?

At the beginning, Li Yuanyin and the three deputy envoys were at a loss and didn't know where to start.

After the war, Su Xiong was not held accountable before the war for his merits, but was appointed as the deputy commander of the Imperial Army. Although he was demoted, Su Xiong was very content. You should know that losing the emperor and protecting himself was a serious crime for the Yi tribe. Although that emperor has now been clearly stated that "the position is incorrect."

But if Zhu Youlang, who is also a royal family, pursues the matter, what reason can't be found?

Therefore, Su Xiong was worried that the emperor would settle the scores against him until he was officially appointed as the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, and his heart was truly relieved.

Therefore, Su Xiong was extremely grateful to the emperor.

Needless to say, Chen Shihao is well-off, and the rise and fall of the family is all due to the emperor, and he is most loyal to the emperor.

In theory, Chen Zhongwu, who had just joined the company, should be most afraid of the emperor and most not questioning the emperor's will. However, he was the one with the strongest opposition to "ideological education work" among the three deputy envoys.

According to Chen Zhongwu's opinion, there is no need to explain the great truth to the soldiers. You just need to include some things that should not be done in the military rules and strictly implement them. Those who join the army are for the sake of making a living and making money. If it weren't for these things, who would come out to join the army? A good man wouldn't join the army. Practicing good skills is the foundation for winning battles.

Regarding Chen Zhongwu's view of "emphasizing military over ideological education", Li Yuanyin harshly scolded him: "Chen Zhongwu, how dare you question the emperor's will? Are you too brave? Who is the emperor? His vision is too high than us ordinary people. What do we know as soldiers? We only know how to fight. How can we understand the profound meaning of ideological education? Do it according to the emperor's will, and we must be sure that we can't make mistakes."

"Mr. Li, I dare not question the emperor's will, but I just can't figure it out. For example, no one in the army can talk about the scholar, but he will say something else if he strikes it, he will talk about the truth.! The scholar meets a soldier and cannot explain it clearly. Why can't he explain it clearly? He can't beat it yet."

Chen Zhongwu still dissatisfied.

"The emperor's will is not wrong. Let's do it as we do it. Once it is done and done well, the effect will naturally come out. Perhaps the scholar's principles can make the soldiers put down their butcher's knife." Li Yuanyin said.

It turns out that he doesn't understand.

"That's right, sir, let's do it." Chen Shihao said.

"Dear sirs, we are all familiar with the art of war. Wu Qi once said, 'The war is invincible with righteousness'. I guess the emperor's move is probably to work hard on the word "rightness". Let's not understand the emperor's deep meaning, let's do it first." Su Xiong was a child of a noble family and had more ink in his stomach than others. Although he didn't understand it very well, he finally came to the point.
