The Emperor of Guang Dong and the soldiers of the new army were all bald.
This made him very satisfied. When his hair grew back, he did not need to shave it all off. He just needed to get a buzz cut. It would be best to promote it from the new army to the entire army, and then to the court and the people.
In this way, all the men in the Ming Empire would not have to keep their hair long.
Of course, the emperor knew that this would cause dissatisfaction and even unrest.
Especially those nobles, they would definitely jump out and accuse the Emperor of Guang Dong, and even conspire to overthrow his rule.
The emperor was not surprised by this. In fact, he even hoped that those guys would take action.
In this way, he could legitimately add all those guys together, behead them, confiscate their homes, or send them to the border.
At that time, not only would he be able to get rid of all these potential opponents, but he would also be able to obtain a large sum of money.
The Emperor of Guang Dong was in need of money! He couldn't wait for those guys to take the initiative to come to him.
After all the new soldiers had shaved their heads, they began their daily training.
Compared to other armies, they trained once every two or three days. They did not even train properly. The new army had to undergo training every day, regardless of rain or shine. This caused many of the soldiers of the new army to complain incessantly.
However, the salary of the new army was still paid in full, unlike the other troops who would be exploited by the higher-ups. Only half of them were truly in his hands.
Moreover, the food of the new army was very good.
In the morning, there were big meat buns and white rice porridge. At noon, there were two meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and one soup. The main dishes were white steamed buns and rice. For dinner, there were steamed buns, rice, noodles, and so on.
Such a sumptuous meal made many soldiers very satisfied.
In comparison, although the training was a little tough, it was nothing.
The emperor believed that these thin soldiers would become stronger after some time. It would not be like the other time and space, where thin and weak soldiers fought with strong Japanese people.
The emperor had lunch in the military camp.
Originally, Nie Shicheng and Zuo Baogui had instructed the chef to prepare the dishes separately. However, the emperor of Guang Dong rejected him.
At this time, he naturally had to share weal and woe with the soldiers. He could not do anything special.
Thus, the Emperor of Guang Dong led his generals to the canteen and sat down at an empty table.
He didn't line up to get food himself. That would seem too pretentious.
But even so, eating the same food with the soldiers still shocked them.
After thousands of years of feudal rule, the people of the ancient eastern country had already gotten used to the existence of the emperor. The Emperor was a high and mighty figure.
But now, the emperor was actually eating with them. This simply subverted their worldview!
Before the soldiers started, the officers would lead the soldiers to shout slogans. Of course, this was also something that the Emperor of Guang Yue emphasized during his training.
"Brothers, who pays us?”an officer shouted.
"It's His Majesty the Emperor!" The soldiers answered.
"Who gave us our food?"
"It's His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Who do we pledge our loyalty to?"
"We must pledge our loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor!"
"What should we do if someone dares to threaten His Majesty the Emperor or murder him?”
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Every day, before breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the soldiers would shout this slogan.
In this way, such an idea would form in their minds.
Soon, these soldiers would become the loyal soldiers of the emperor.
After taking control of the military, it would be impossible for others to oppose him and chase him down from the throne.
Emperor Guang Dong knew the importance of education.
Not only did he plan to promote it in the army, but he also planned to promote it in schools to cultivate the students 'loyalty to the country.
In this way, his influence in the entire Ming Empire would be unparalleled. The people would be loyal to him and love him.
Then, no one in the entire Ming Empire would be able to contend with him.
He would truly and completely control the power of the entire country.
The emperor was very satisfied with this trip to the military camp.
Before he left, the emperor summoned Nie Shicheng and Zuo Baogui and told them to train these troops well.
"The new army will become the foundation of Great Ming. Although there were only two infantry divisions at the moment. However, in the future, they would continue to expand and reorganize other troops. I hope that the two beloved ministers can train a true elite army for me. The Germanic weapons would arrive in a month. We still have to build our own arsenal. Therefore, don't be stingy with ammunition during training.”Guang Zhou emperor warned.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Nie Shicheng and Zuo Baogui both answered.
In the past, they all answered with a 'cheap', but the Emperor of Guang Yue heard it and made them answer' yes'.
