From New Year's Day, the first day of the first lunar month of the Spring Festival, officials had to take five days off, and Zhu Youxiao also gave himself a few days off and enjoyed the life of ordinary couples for several days. The scene was naturally a bit shameless, so it was hard to explain in detail. After the fifth day of the first lunar month, it was the day when the Royal Guards were inspected by His Majesty the Emperor.

This was specially arranged by Zhu Youxiao. Since the Beijing Camp and other troops stationed in Beijing were abolished last year and reorganized into an Imperial Guard with a force of 10,000 troops, the Royal Imperial Guard has expanded tenfold in just one year. Now, not counting as logistics personnel, the integer number of the main corps of the Imperial Guard has reached 100,000.

Not only that, the Royal Military Officers have also started three periods, which does not include the thirty early officers who were secretly trained in the Forbidden City. Now, these thirty early officers, except for two officers who were in charge of the Law Enforcement Office of the Imperial Guards and one who was responsible for staff and documents, the others are already senior generals who brought counting money to tens of thousands of soldiers.

Except for the first-stage officers who had already been replenished into the Imperial Guard Battalion six months ago, the second-stage officers who had just completed their studies for less than two months, they had to be replenished into the Imperial Guard Battalion troops immediately. Most of them participated in the first invasion of the Qing Dynasty and soldiers with superior performance. They had certain practical experience. They had experienced three months of training during their previous training, so after replenishing them into the various battalions, they quickly became grassroots backbones of the Imperial Guard Battalion.

Most of the officers in the third period were the same as those in the first period, and the officers in the second period were also the original backbone of the Imperial Guards, but a large part of them were recommended by various places or ordered by His Majesty the Emperor to study in the school. For example, Qi Changguo, who had served as a thousand households in the Qianhu District of Yiyang and was the descendant of Qi Jiguang, and Gu Sanmazi, who was originally a pirate leader.

Gu Sanmazi has only been in the Royal Military Academy for less than a month, but he is obviously much more stable than before. His shoulders are no longer high or low, and his legs are no longer open in the outer shape. However, his face is obviously darker than before. He is obviously punished to stand many times. His overall appearance is much more energetic, and he can also see that he has some agile muscles.

Although Qi Changguo was as energetic as before, his eyes were much deeper, as if he had understood the mysterious principles overnight and realized the truth.

However, in fact, this is true. According to Zhu Youxiao’s report from Dongchang, Qi Changguo is now reading the fourth update every day at night. He is even harder than the scholars who participated in the profession. He even quarreled with the people from the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Ordnance Department. Even in the Royal Military Academy, he argued with the instructors because of some theories, but Qi Changguo is often defeated.

For a moment, he and Gu Sanmazi turned around. Because Zhu Youxiao asked the Royal Military Academy to strictly control Gu Sanmazi, Gu Sanmazi overcame the rules and did not dare to violate the rules at all. However, Qi Changguo tolerated him because Zhu Youxiao issued instructions, which made Qi Jiguang completely forget that this place was not only a school, but also a military camp.

As representatives of the cadets, the officers of the third period naturally had to attend the review of the Royal Imperial Guards, and they were the first team, standing in the center of the school ground. The troops officially organized by the Imperial Guards stood in line with ten heavenly stems.

It should be noted that Zhu Youxiao had reorganized and reformed the various imperial guards before the New Year, and the original battalion was added with the army, town and brigade. Among them, soldiers recruited by Chang Yanling in Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou to form the first army, and most of the officers above the ranks were appointed by the first or second period officers of the Royal Military Academy, or veterans before the Imperial Guards. However, Qin Liangyu Tujia soldiers also joined in it, such as Qin Liangyu's son Ma Xianglin and nephew Qin Yiming, who were already well-trained, also joined in it, and Zhu Youxiao was appointed as the general or battalion commander of a brigade of the 6th Army of the Imperial Guards.

Of course, it is also because they participated in actual combat with Qin Liangyu, and in order to better control these Tujia soldiers with good combat power, they did not let these Tujia generals go to the Royal Military Academy to study first and then directly hold important positions. However, according to Zhu Youxiao's arrangement, they are only temporarily replacing them now. After the Tujia soldiers are completely assimilated into the imperial guard system in the future, these officers who have not been studied in the Royal Military Academy will be rebuilt.

However, the main body of the Imperial Guards' First Army is still the original Imperial Guards' First Battalion, which is still mainly infantry. The Apocalypse No. 1 flints are the main weapon. However, the First Brigade of the Ace First Town has been equipped with Minnie guns, which is the only established unit in the Imperial Guards equipped with Minnie guns.

Fu Dahai's Second Army is considered a mixed 6th Army, with artillery and infantry, plus cavalry, but the main body is still the artillery as the advantage, which is considered the 6th Army, mainly Huguang soldiers. Like the First Army, most of them are relatives of the same clan or fellow villagers. This benefit is naturally that in the future, they can share the same hatred of the enemy. When relatives and friends face a life crisis, they will fully mobilize the emotions of other officers and soldiers. However, in general, they are still controlled by Fu Dahai, because most of the grassroots officers are students of the Royal Military Academy.

Oboi's third army was a whole of cavalry, mostly loyal and brave men from Qin. They were often robbed by the Tartars outside the pass for many years, and most of them were good at martial arts and cavalry, so it would be better to form cavalry. What's more, Oboi himself was only good at cavalry. After a year of training in the northwest, Oboi's third army was the most powerful among the Imperial Guards and had the richest practical experience. Because with the acquiescence of Zhu Youxiao, Oboi often took the Imperial Guards' Third Army to attack outside the pass, attacked some small tribes, and even rushed to the Hami Guards as far as the farthest.

The soldiers recruited by Qin Botong in Xuzhou and some of the Lingnan soldiers and Gannan soldiers recruited by Lu Jiayu in Guangdong and Guangxi formed the Fourth Army, and Lu Jiayu served as the general officer of the Fourth Army. This imperial guard is regarded as the reserve force of the imperial guards. Although there are Xuzhou soldiers who dare to fight as the foundation, the two most powerful battalions, Xuzhou soldiers composed of the original imperial guards' baggage battalion, were taken away by Qin Botong to form the Fifth Army. Therefore, most of the Fourth Army are new recruits, and most of the grassroots officers are mainly the third-tier officers. Whether it is officials or soldiers, many of them are the first time.

Qin Botong's Fifth Army was to form a naval army. The Xuzhou soldiers of the two battalions formed a Navy 6th Battle Brigade, responsible for the sixth Battle after the 6th Battle. The other brigades were composed of the former Nanjing naval army and the pirates who were recruited and pilgrims, so they were relatively new. Many officers and soldiers had not yet developed a sense of the feeling that even the officers who graduated from the Royal Military Academy did not have practical experience in naval battles. They only had a certain theoretical foundation and were interested in it when they were studying in the Royal Military Academy.

However, everything is from nothing to something, from weak to strong. Zhu Youxiao is just thinking about building the shelf first. When you have the chance in the future, you will definitely go to actual combat. Whether you win or lose, you can take it back to the Royal Military Academy to summarize it again. There will always be several talents in the tens of thousands of navy.

The vigorous and vigorous music sounded. This was a set of controlled instruments played by Zhu Youxiao, specially ordered the Royal Academy of Sciences, together with the Hanlin Academy and the Neijing musicians, and the tune was the Chinese People's Liberation Army March. After playing countless times, Zhu Youxiao was made by musicians using various latest instruments developed by the Royal Academy of Sciences. Many of them have become best-sellers on the market.

Music can sometimes fully mobilize a person's mental outlook, not to mention that after a few cannons, not only the imperial guards present became solemn, but also the civil and military officials who stood behind Zhu Youxiao as a foil.

Zhu Youxiao was wearing military uniform, holding a royal saber, staring at his 100,000 elite troops, and walked towards him.

The saber is a Tang sword that was replicated successfully based on the documents provided by the Hanlin Academy. The Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Academy of Sciences sometimes not only reveal future things and theories in advance, but also restore some lost skills of the previous dynasty. On the one hand, it is indeed practical, and on the other hand, it also has high artistic value.

However, Zhu Youxiao's Tang sword was gilded and decorated with dragons, mainly to show the honor of His Majesty the Ming Emperor, and did not really want to compete with the Eastern samurai who has the best sword.

In addition to sabers, Zhu Youxiao's military uniform is also the latest textile product of the Royal Weaving Bureau. The fabric is woven with mixed yarn. The texture is delicate and crisp, which makes Zhu Youxiao's figure very straight and upright. Not only Zhu Youxiao, but also the 100,000 imperial guards in front of him. Although they are no longer mandarin duck war robes, iron mesh boots and shoes (lower-level officers), the military power formed by the simple and slim military uniforms and leather boots is much greater than that of other troops.

Even the generals of the border town such as Man Gui couldn't help but widen their eyes and sighed secretly that they never believed that there was such an army in this world that revealed a murderous aura without using the black iron to add.

The military four-wheeled carriage jointly developed by the sixteen-pound cannon, the twelve-pound cannon, the six-pound cannon and the Ordnance Department and the Royal Industrial Corporation are placed in front of each army.

No one knows how powerful these giant cannons are on the battlefield. They only know that every time the Ordnance Department conducts secret experiments, the residents around them will be frightened. Otherwise, there would not have been a censor impeachment against the Ordnance Department and cut off the dragon vein. It is obvious that the censor actually suffered a lot.

"Hello, soldiers!"

Zhu Youxiao shouted, "This standard question has been issued to the Imperial Guards in advance, just like later generations, and it took half a month to conduct intensive training."

Therefore, after Zhu Youxiao shouted this sentence, a warm response suddenly rang like a wave of waves: "Hello, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you all the hard work!"

Well, on the surface, Your Majesty is so amiable, smiling, and expresses his concern for the vast number of Imperial Guard soldiers with such concern. The vast number of Imperial Guard soldiers were naturally deeply inspired by this, and replied loudly and neatly: "Long live my emperor!"

Here, we naturally cannot copy the modern one directly. In order to emphasize the absolute authority of individuals in the army, especially in the Imperial Guards, Zhu Youxiao asked the Imperial Guards to express their loyalty to themselves at the end. The most direct way is to shout long live.

The people who came to watch the imperial guards to inspect were not only civil officials, military officials, imperial court nobles, and most of the vassal kings who had been locked into the capital, but also some envoys from North Korea, Ryukyu and other countries.

But they all had one feeling at this time, that is, shock!

After all, it was a shout from 100,000 people. After almost neatly shouted, even the earth would tremble a little.

In this way, the civil officials began to understand that His Majesty today not only had the East Factory and the Jinyiwei, but also a war machine that could not be underestimated. The generals had to consider whether they should do whatever they could do because of a few soldiers in their hands. The vassal kings also lamented that they could only let His Majesty deal with it today. Seeing such an army, they would not dare to have any intention of rebelling. North Korea and other vassal states could not help but strengthen their loyalty to the Celestial Kingdom.

This time, Zhu Youxiao was still riding a four-wheeled carriage when he was inspecting. Before the steam power was fully used on the means of transportation, animal power was still the main way for people to move instead of their feet.

Of course, the four-wheeled carriage that Zhu Youxiao was riding was definitely the most gorgeous in appearance, but this could not hide the flaws that he could not rely on steam power to advance.

After Zhu Youxiao finished the review and returned to the high platform, the Imperial Guards sent their most elite platoons to enter the parade, led by the third phase of the Royal Military Academy, followed by representative platoons of the Imperial Guards.

After all, it is a 100,000 army. If everyone walks through it, it will definitely be impossible to complete it within one day.

The teams of all sides walked forward neatly with flints with bayonets, and their gaits were consistently placed like green waves that appeared alternately. However, when they passed by Zhu Youxiao, their steps suddenly became heavy, and their stances hit the ground like iron, which was sonorous and powerful!

"salute!"

With Qi Changguo shouted, Gu Sanmazi quickly turned his head, looked at Zhu Youxiao on the stage, drove the flint rifle in his hand, stepped on the ground, and walked forward step by step.

The same is true when other teams came. This not only proved the power of the Imperial Guard to restless elements at home and abroad, but also demonstrated the discipline and collectivism of their Imperial Guard.

It is also a pity that the Royal Jingying Schoolyard has been expanded since last year. Otherwise, such a shocking picture would not have been formed. On the south side of the schoolyard is a platform several meters high, and on the north side is a large campus that can accommodate 100,000 people. Even if Zhu Youzhai stood on the platform, he could not see everyone's faces.

But the momentum formed makes people feel enthusiastic!

The news that Zhu Youxiao reviewed the Imperial Guards was also reported by Daming Daily. Some praised the Imperial Guards as the world's lion, and some also remained suspicious of the Imperial Guards' combat effectiveness, believing that the army with good pace may not necessarily dare to fight the Tartars.
