On the 30th of the 17th year of Chongzhen's reign in the Ming Dynasty, thousands of eldest sons serving as soldiers in Xiaoling Guards reluctantly formed a few square formations.

Feng Sizhong, the commander of the Xiaoling Guards, was riding a horse, wandering around these square formations, and scolding him from time to time - although these gangs are unable to beat military sticks, they are really ineffective.

, I practiced over and over again, but I couldn’t even put up a decent square formation. In a while, the Prince of Fujun will come to the military parade. How can he be seen like this? Don’t anger His Highness the Prince and jeopardize your command.

The job title has been wiped out.

He was originally the head guard of Prince Zhu, and just over a month ago he was assigned as the commander of the Xiaoling Guards as a commander.

Before accepting the assignment from the commander of the Xiaoling Guard, he thought that burning incense and kowtowing at the Xiaoling Guard was a very leisurely job - he was originally from the Ling Guard and was very familiar with this line of work. But he found out after taking the assignment.

, I was deceived by Zhu Cixiang, the evil-hearted prince.

That's right, Zhu Cixi has a black heart!

He still remembered what Zhu Cixi said to him a month ago: "... Sizhong, there are many clans who are hanging under the Lingwei to receive a living ration, but they have been selected to join the new Xiaolingwei army.

The eldest son is different from those freeloading clans. They still have hope. Therefore, they must be trained well and cannot be treated as eldest sons. They must have sex three or two times a day. They should be beaten and scolded.

On New Year's Eve, I will come to the military parade! This is also an assessment for you!"

By the way, it is not easy to be an official here in Zhu Cixiang. There has never been a saying that one can go up or down - unless it is Wu Xiang or Wu Sanfu, whose merits are enough to last a lifetime. A slightly smaller officer, even one with a commanding officer

Titles are subject to various assessments.

Not only assessments are required, but also public evaluations based on military exploits and achievements - that is, a group of superior officers or officers of the same rank will rate your performance over a period of time. There are total grades of upper, upper, upper, upper, and upper middle.

, middle, middle-lower, lower-upper, lower-middle and lower. There are nine grades. Those rated lower than third will of course be punished. But this is not the most torture. The most torture is a legendary elimination from the bottom.

The system has not yet been officially implemented in the entire army, but it has been implemented on a trial basis in the four Fire Gun Associations, two Cavalry Associations and the Xiaoling Guard New Army - all officers of the flag team with the worst annual evaluation will be demoted.

He becomes a samurai, and the battalion-level officer of the battalion where the flag team is located will be demoted to take over the worst flag team... This is like falling back to before liberation overnight!

In order not to be demoted, the battalion commanders and flag captains of these troops were under great pressure and had to go all out to train the troops.

Of course, the new Xiaoling Guard Army commanded by Feng Sizhong will not compete with the four fire gunmen and the two cavalrymen. Everyone knows that this guard is the last one among the divisions and the new guard troops.

.And there is a huge gap between him and the second to last one! If the bottom rank is to be eliminated at the level of associate guards, then Feng Sizhong will be demoted soon... But the new Xiaoling Guard Army

Your performance can't be too bad, otherwise Prince Zhu will definitely fall out!

Just when Feng Sizhong and his officers could not organize their formation, the melodious bugle sound suddenly sounded, and then there was a burst of rapid horse hooves, and two horsemen galloped over and entered the Xiaoling Mausoleum.

Wei Xincheng shouted loudly: "The Prince of Fujun has arrived!"

Prince Zhu came here excitedly today. He has high hopes for these brothers from the same clan... When the world was peaceful, these people were a burden to the court. But now the situation is different, because Zhu Cihong can

Free up your hands and feet to deal with these thousands of baggage!

He had already planned to implement the most thorough elimination system in the new Xiaoling Guard army composed of eldest sons - not only the officers at all levels may be eliminated, but also the identity of the eldest son!

For any flag unit with the lowest overall guard ranking in each quarter, all soldiers will lose their eldest son status, and then face the punishment of being dismissed from service or transferred from the Xiaoling Guard.

But correspondingly, there is also a reward for being the first to be promoted. Every season, the flag team that ranks first among the guards will have the opportunity to be promoted. Instead of being promoted, they will be transferred from the Xiaoling Guard New Army to the General Taxation Department School to receive a one-month training as tax collectors.

Training. Then he will be sent to serve as a guard for the tax department and military garrison, that is, an "armed tax collector". This can participate in the military garrison, and the tax office will be divided into fat jobs!

By then their hard days will be over...

Of course, military stations and tax offices will also implement various assessments and elimination systems. If you don't do well, you will be eliminated! Who made this generation of the Ming Dynasty eldest son miserable? First he met the rebels, and now he

Met a black-hearted prince who was more ruthless than the rebel Li Zicheng?

Even if they are brothers from the same clan, the black-hearted prince will fully explore their remaining value - these eldest sons have basically read books and can serve as low-level civil servants. And although they have noble blood, they are now in a desperate situation, and now they are in a state of poverty.

Having left his hometown, he had no choice but to seek refuge with relatives and friends, so he had no choice but to go with Prince Zhu.

There were no arrangements before, mainly because there were not enough seats, and there were many low-level officials whose seats were not easily accessible.

It is actually not too difficult to be a minor official or a magic officer in the yamen of Nanjing City. After all, it is easy to enjoy the shade under the big trees, and you are under the eyes of the imperial court. What can you not do? But if you are sent out to work as a tax collector

Guanjuntun, haha, these are all offending tasks.

He didn't have a bit of ferocity, and if he was sent out, he would be bullied by local powerful men. So Zhu Cixiang established the Xiaoling Guards New Army, and selected a group of young, strong, and incompetent eldest sons to come in and train them hard.

Zhu Qirui, who was born in the line of Min kings and grew up in Wugang Prefecture, Huguang, is only 16 years old this year. He is the same generation as Min king Zhu Qiying who was killed by Zhang Xianzhong's troops in the 16th year of Chongzhen. His parents were also involved in that sudden disaster.

There was no trace, but he and several brothers from the same clan escaped. First they lived in Nanning and were supported by the eldest son of King Ning's line for a while. Later, he came to Nanjing with the children of King Ning's line.

The Prince of Fujun took good care of the children of the Min King sect. He chose an old man with a "Qian" generation to attack Wang Jue, which was considered to support the Min King sect. He also allowed many Min King sect's children to enter.

Various yamen in the imperial court served as officials, but Zhu Qirui was not so lucky. He only got a small soldier from the Xiaoling Guard New Army. After entering the camp, he trained hard for a month, and his bones were almost falling apart. By the third day of the new year,

There is no holiday at ten.

Now it's finally time for His Royal Highness the Prince of Fujun to take a look. Maybe these hard days will come to an end...
Chapter completed!
