There are quite a few garrisons in the capital. In addition to the twelve guards of the emperor, there are dozens of garrisons guarding the capital.

Needless to say, the Emperor's Twelve Guards have all been trained.

In addition, there are 24 guard posts that are also undergoing intensive training.

"Your Highness, please look here. This is a joint exercise of the four guards. Although there is a gap between them and the royal guards, it is already good enough."

"Your Highness is able to come here in person to inspect this time. The soldiers are very serious and no one wants to lose face in front of Your Highness."

The leading commander said with an apologetic smile in front of Zhu Ying.

Zhu Ying looked at the sweaty soldiers below, nodded slightly, and then said: "On October 1st, before the grand military parade in the capital, all participating guards will have a chance to rehearse in advance."

"This drill will determine the ranking of the guards. The strongest guard will be the last to appear as the finale of the entire military parade."

"Among them, the top three guards with outstanding performance, all officers above the rank of Qian Hu, will be commended by His Majesty, and I will personally present them with gifts."

"In addition, each of the remaining guards will select the best soldier to serve as the leader during the military parade. You need to grasp these carefully."

In front of Zhu Ying were the commanders of the four guards below.

When they heard the promise made by His Royal Highness Chang Sun, their whole bodies began to boil.

This is absolutely the highest honor for the soldiers, and it is the first time in the history of previous dynasties that such a grand military parade has taken place.

Obviously, this will be recorded in history books.

"Train well. Although the Royal Guards are a month ahead of you, as long as you work hard, it is possible to occupy the top three."

"Don't worry, the rankings will be decided by me personally. I guarantee absolute fairness. No one can play tricks on me."

Zhu Ying encouraged with a smile.

"I will obey your orders."

The four commanders knelt on one knee and spoke loudly.

The soldiers below seemed to feel the atmosphere and acted more energetically.

The four commanders had also made up their minds that after His Royal Highness Chang Sun left, they would train hard and fight for a rank.

As the next morning approached.

Notices of a grand military parade began to be issued throughout the capital.

"What does this grand military parade mean? It's held outside the palace, and everyone can go and watch. I've lived for so many years, but I've never heard of it before."

"Silly, this is to show the military might of our Ming Dynasty. Didn't you see what is said above? Even His Majesty and His Royal Highness will personally watch the ceremony until the end."

"It seems that on October 1st, we have to go early to grab a good seat, otherwise we may not be able to see anything."

"Haha, there are so many people in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, probably millions, who wouldn't want to go and see it? How many can there be in the outer city? If you really want to see it, October 1st is the day to reserve a spot. I'm afraid you won't be able to see anything."

"That's right. For example, last time the Beijing Chamber of Commerce held a big sale, my whole family went and started queuing before midnight. We were just able to catch up. This time, I'm afraid we may have to go two days in advance."

"We reserved a spot two days in advance. Good fellows, they all brought their own food and stayed there."

"You know what I mean. If you get there early and get a good spot, you might be able to sell it for a high price. Now in the capital, the Five Cities Army is so strict about law and order. Like the last time we lined up, even if you are a wealthy family, you can't cut in line no matter how strong your connections are."

"I think this time, no one will be able to cut in line. If you really have status, the court will have already arranged a place for you. If you go earlier, you may be able to make some money."

"You are so short-sighted. A military parade is such a rare opportunity. It's worth it for those few strings of cash. This kind of grand occasion is probably rare to see in a hundred years. Maybe this is the only chance I can have in my life."

"You are rich, noble, and great. But don't forget that this time, anyone can go regardless of their status. Even beggars can line up. For them, a few strings of cash is nearly a year's worth of food."

There was a lot of bustle under the notice, but under the management of Wucheng Bingmasi, everything was in good order.

In front of it, there were more than ten patrolmen, staring at the people reading the notice with a fierce look, and anyone who made trouble would be arrested immediately.

Two captains, one tall and one short, looked at the people standing in line. The shorter one sighed and said, "We, the Five Cities Military Division, have finally stood up. Look at us. We were not so majestic in the past."

"Those who have some connections don't take us seriously. Officials of the seventh or eighth rank dare to cause trouble in our government office."

"Now, let alone the fourth and fifth ranks, even if they are high-ranking officials of the second rank, we don't need to give them any face."

"It feels so good! It really feels so good!"

The tall captain next to him smiled when he heard this and said, "It is all thanks to the great blessing of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that our Wucheng Bingma Division is no longer under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, but is now under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty Public Security General Department."

"The General Security Department is under the direct supervision of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. We are considered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's personal guards. Who would look down on us?"

"You don't know, since this incident, the status of our Five Cities Army has been greatly improved. Remember Xiao Zhang? Wow, that guy finally brought Widow Zhao home."

The short captain heard this and said in surprise, "Did Xiao Zhang succeed?"

"How can I lie to you? In the past, our police officers were not loved by their grandmas and uncles, but now it is completely different. Many people are trying to find a job here."

The tall captain of the police said with a pursed mouth.

After hearing this, the short man suddenly looked a little sad and said, "That being said, life is getting harder and harder. Although I wasn't as popular before, every day was still free and there was nothing to worry about."

"Let's talk about our Nancheng Military Division. It changes every day. There are new requirements every day, and the rules and regulations are becoming more and more complicated. We also hold training sessions every now and then."

"Even if we just put out a notice, we still have to maintain order here. If there is chaos in any area under our jurisdiction, we will be implicated. Those unlucky guys in East City were almost stripped of their official positions because of the fights among the gangsters."

"It's not that easy for those who want to come in and do things. Look at the newcomers. They were all brave men in the army. They have killed people before. Their eyes, wow, they make me feel scared when I see them."

The short man said this, looking at the people standing under the notice board.

The tall man also looked over.

Those people were new employees and were currently under the supervision of the two men and could be considered their subordinates.

But he just stood there, his eyes moving around, like a sculpture, making people who read the notice behave much more obediently.

After watching for a while, the tall man said helplessly, "Study hard. You can't just slack off. The guy in the middle city has been promoted three levels in just half a month and has become a governor. If we slack off, I'm afraid we will be replaced by the people below soon."

"I don't know how many people are eyeing our position now. I never thought that even a constable would be so nervous."

Thinking of the latest system implemented by the Five Cities Army, the tall man felt a lot of pressure in his heart.

Just talking about the salary, since being affiliated with the Ming Dynasty Security Bureau, everyone has received a lot of improvement. Just for him, the captain of the police, the salary has doubled.

Of course, as a captain of police, salary has never been the main source of income, most of it comes from lucrative gains.

However, the profit is too scarce now, mainly because few people dare to make a move at this time of popularity, as they are all being watched by the people behind them.

If you make the slightest mistake, you will be reported anonymously.

The inspectors of the Five Cities Army are no longer just there to do their jobs, they have performance requirements, and those who fail to meet the requirements will be punished. Their eyes are as green as those of jackals, just waiting to make mistakes.

With just a little bit of evidence, they dare to beat people to death. In the past, there were people who protected them, but now even the commander-in-chief of the Central City Military Department is walking on thin ice, fearing that he might fall into the ditch if he is not careful.

"By the way, have you heard that the Duke of Liang will serve as the Grand Commander of our General Security Bureau?" The short man's voice startled the tall man.

After listening to this, the tall man said in disbelief: "You are kidding, who is the Duke of Liang? He is the Left Commander of the Commandery and a general."

"Although the General Security Department is a new government office established by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Duke of Liang is appointed as the Grand Commander, which is a demotion, right?"

After hearing this, the short captain subconsciously looked around, and seeing that there was no one around, he leaned over and whispered, "You may not know, but the day before yesterday, the Duke of Liang beat up the Minister of Personnel, Minister Zhan, and brought a lot of people with him."

"It is said that Minister Zhan was beaten so badly that he couldn't get out of bed and couldn't even attend the morning court. That's not even cruel enough."

"The cruelest thing is that the Duke of Liang sent people to surround the residence of Minister Zhan and not allow anyone to go out to report the news."

The tall man said in disbelief: "Duke Liang is too bold. This is the capital. Isn't he afraid that His Majesty will know about this? The Jinyiwei in the capital are very powerful."

The short captain laughed and said, "Of course not. Your Majesty's Jinyiwei has never been slack, but Duke Liang naturally knows about it. It is said that he went to the court yesterday morning to ask for forgiveness, and then he was dismissed from his post as the Left Commander."

"It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who took care of him and gave him the position of Grand Commander of the General Security Department."

After hearing this explanation, the tall constable finally understood the whole story and said with a smile, "You are quite a wild kid. You know all these things clearly."

When the short man heard this, he chuckled twice and didn't answer.

Who still has secrets?

…

The excitement in the capital seems to have little to do with Yao Guangxiao's side.

Faced with an army of 80,000, Tsushima Island had no ability to resist at all.

The huge advantage in numbers creates a gap that is difficult to make up, and this is something that everyone can see.

The so-called "a little force can move a great object" means that the key is to have enough force yourself. Obviously, the Japanese garrison in Tsushima Island does not have so many people.

Things have never been easy in Tsushima Island.

Just nearly a hundred years ago, during the Yuan Dynasty, two wars were launched against Japan, and Tsushima Island was easily occupied.

The Yuan Dynasty army was even more brutal, and they directly massacred the entire Tsushima Island.

This also means that the current population of Tsushima Island has never exceeded 30,000.

The Goryeo soldiers had long suffered from the Japanese pirates, and the first group to go to war this time were mainly Goryeo generals.

Obviously, when it comes to military discipline, there are not so many requirements.

However, as far as the current situation is concerned, there are too few people on Tsushima Island, which has created a situation where there are too many people and too little porridge.

Some smart generals have begun to frown.

They soon discovered that there was not much food on Tsushima Island and it was not enough to feed the army for a long time.

After only two days, the joy of victory faded, and after a statistics, all the Goryeo generals began to become a little worried.

There is not enough food.

Originally, in order to have a better start, they did not bring much food with them, hoping to make a fortune by conquering Tsushima Island.

But here, it is not a case of clearing the countryside, as it is a poor place in itself. The key point is that many gold, silver and treasures have long been transferred away.

Through interrogation, it was learned that the indigenous leader here, the Japanese family of So, had long received news from the Japanese pirates and fled to the Japanese mainland with a large amount of wealth.

There is no such thing as a huge amount of wealth. The wealth of the So family itself is mainly found in Japan.

After all, Tsushima Island has never been a peaceful place. Every time Japan launches a war, whether external or internal, Tsushima Island is the first to be hit.

Therefore, the people of the Zong family have never dared to hide their wealth here.

"Damn it, our food supply can only last for less than two months. According to the arrangement made by the Imperial Master when we set out, we need to maintain it for another five months before launching a general attack on Japan."

"How can more than 80,000 of us survive? Even if we have to eat porridge, I'm afraid we can only last for more than three months at most."

"Even so, there are still two months left. How are the brothers going to survive?"

A bearded general roared loudly.

More than ten Koreans from the parliament have descended here, and they are the highest level of the 80,000 troops this time.

The commander-in-chief at the top of the group also frowned after hearing this and thought about countermeasures in his mind.

Another general said, "We can't let our brothers starve to death. If that doesn't work, we can ask the Imperial Master for help and ask him to send us some food so that our brothers can at least have enough to eat."

"It's time to stop caring about face. How could this poor place be so poor and dilapidated? How could you think you could make a fortune? What on earth are those spies doing?"

When they heard about asking the Imperial Master for food, more than a dozen generals fell silent.

Because before this expedition, many people had intelligence that Tsushima Island was extremely rich, and those who could be part of the first batch of expedition had guaranteed it to the Imperial Master before departure.

After occupying Tsushima Island, a batch of food here will be transported back to Goryeo to expand the army.
