Zhu Youxiao knew very well that if he wanted to re-establish his prestige in the personal army, he could not rely solely on his own identity as an emperor.

My identity will only make them awe now, but not convince them, and will be willing to sacrifice their lives for themselves, the emperor when they are in a critical moment.

Only by integrating with these officers and soldiers, and allowing them to truly feel the existence of His Majesty, and becoming the leader they truly admire and worship can they truly control this army.

Moreover, no matter how many commanders are changed in the future, this army will obey itself. In their world, only his emperor is the only person who is loyal to him, their faith and the purpose of living in this world.

Now His Majesty the Emperor takes the lead in running towards the top of the mountain ahead. In addition, there are also Lu Xiangsheng, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and Liu Ruyu, the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse, all followed Zhu Youxiao, and the other officers and soldiers had to follow.

Wang Chengen and Liang Fu did not make any fun. They knew that His Majesty was trying to reshape the ruling power. They were not the chief officer of the imperial horse and seal or officials of the Ministry of War. They could not get involved in the military system. Otherwise, they would be imprisoned like those traitors of the Donglin Party, waiting to be executed tomorrow.

Zhu Youxiao's body is no longer as weak as he was at the beginning. He already has tendons and flesh, and he can resist the severe cold in the north. After running for four or five miles, his body has sweated, but his breathing is still stable and moderate.

Lu Xiangsheng and Liu Ruyu behind him also practice martial arts all year round, breathing evenly and their feet are like the wind.

However, many officials were already out of breath at this time and were out of breath. After running for a while, they had to stop and spit and pant heavily.

At this time, the Jinyiwei had all dispatched according to Zhu Youxiao's instructions. As the emperor's personal army, they naturally did not give these dandy face and rushed into the woods. Once they saw someone cheating or being lazy and not running away, they would add up the sticks.

With the help of Duke Wei, Qin Botong finally got the position of commander in the Beijing camp, and was very glad that he did not leave with his son-in-law Zhu Chunchen today, otherwise the official position he bought for 3,000 taels of silver would have to be wasted.

However, what he did not expect was that the Emperor asked them to run all the way up the mountain, and His Majesty the Emperor led the way himself. In order not to be dismissed from his official position, he had to follow him.

But he had never exercised much and his heart was beating like thunder and his feet were weak. Seeing that there was a forest ahead to take a shortcut, he ran over without thinking.

But it is winter now, the trees have no leaves, and the view of the entire mountain seems particularly wide. Before he can run into the forest, a killing stick hit him on the back.

Qin Botong staggered and fell on the snow, taking a bite of the snow.

Yijinyiwei was still coming to fight, so he had to get up and turn around and run back: "No, don't, don't fight, I'll go back, I'll go back, can I go back?"

Qin Botong chose to return to the team to continue running, but Sun Shicheng, the nephew of Zhongsu Hou, who also got hit a blow, directly chose to leave after being hit.

Moreover, within ten miles, nearly two thousand people chose to leave. They would rather not have the official position in the Beijing camp than follow Zhu Youxiao to continue running like this.

After the founding general Chang Yuchun, Chang Yanling, the son of Chang Xuanzhen, the Marquis of Huaiyuan, was one of the few noble children who could still continue to persist quickly as the wind. Moreover, he was following Lu Xiangsheng and Liu Ruyu now, watching the Emperor Zhu Youxiao running in front.

It is completely possible to stay at home and be the young master of Xiaoyao. In the future, Chang Yanling, who was waiting to inherit the marquis, entered the Jingying to be a small thousand-household household. The purpose is to realize his ambition to revitalize the Ming Dynasty and rebuild the merits of his ancestors back then.

Now that he saw His Majesty the Emperor personally led the army to practice, he seemed to have seen the hope of the Ming Dynasty's revival, and his face couldn't help but show excitement.

Who said that Your Majesty is a good carpenter who is curious and lewd and rude? As the Daming Daily said, Your Majesty truly has the legacy of Emperor Taizu Hongwu. Perhaps this difficult-to-return Ming Dynasty really only needs him to save it.

When he reached the top of the mountain, Zhu Youxiao was already sweating profusely and his heart was beating like thunder. Looking at the officers and soldiers who were still insisting on running with him on the snow below, he couldn't help but smile.

"Although I just ran for a while, I can still be strong in terms of perseverance and physical strength, so I can become an elite soldier. What do you think?"

As Zhu Youxiao said that, he looked at Oboi, who was following him as his own guard.

Oboi bowed and said, "Your Majesty is very much, but this is nothing to me Manchu men. It has become a habit to chase wild animals in the mountains all year round."

"The people who eat meat and drink blood and are naturally stronger than the people of our Central Aboriginal dying," Lu Xiangsheng walked up and said, and said, "But no matter how tough a person is, he is afraid of firearms."

"Well, the reason for Jian Dou is that in the future, the war will be dominated by firearms. No matter how powerful a hero is, he cannot stop a small iron ball. Just as Ajige was so fierce that he wanted to take my life, I just need to pull it and he could die on the spot!"

Zhu Youxiao said that he ordered people to bring the latest "Apocalypse One-style" flintlock rifle made by the Royal Ordnance Department (according to the suggestion of book friends, the Ordnance Department was changed to the Ordnance Department).

From time to time, the Jinyiwei, who had already prepared, immediately brought the flintlock rifle. After taking it, Zhu Youxiao immediately started loading the bullets, and then aimed at the hare a hundred steps ahead and shot it.

After the hare was shot, a Jinyiwei hurriedly ran over and picked it up: "Your Majesty has hit you."

Zhu Youxiao just smiled slightly, while Lu Xiangsheng, who was beside him, said in surprise: "Your Majesty, these firearms can shoot so far and operate so conveniently!"

"Obai, what do you think?" Zhu Youxiao asked Obai again without replying to Lu Xiangsheng's words.

Oboi quickly came to his senses: "If there are thirty people holding this firearm, only one hundred white-armored soldiers will not be wiped out."

Oboi was Jinghan, but he was still confident in the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners of Manchuria. However, Zhu Youxiao was satisfied that he could make Oboi say this.

His later golden and white armored soldiers were at most tens of thousands, but Zhu Youxiao could have built hundreds of thousands of soldiers to be proficient in operating such firearms.

Seeing that most of the officers and soldiers who insisted on following him had gathered on the top of the mountain, Zhu Youxiao asked Lu Xiangsheng to name the name. After the name was named, he found that there were less than 10,000 officers and soldiers, totaling 8,000.

"Eight thousand is eight thousand. In three years, I will turn these eight thousand elite soldiers into eighty thousand, eight hundred thousand!"

Zhu Youxiao said, "Transfer my order and tomorrow we will summon civil and military officials of the second rank and above, including the Ministry of War, the Imperial Horse Supervisor, the Governor's Office, and other second-rank civil and military officials above the rank and other military personnel to discuss the reorganization and establishment of the Imperial Guard."
