Qi Jin's suggestion Taichang attached great importance to it, because forming a powerful cavalry can not only compete with the Jiannu cavalry, but also make the royal guards and personal troops more intimidating.

The speed of the cavalry is quite terrifying. With the intimidation of cavalry, the tribes of the Yuan Dynasty, the vassal states, the chieftains and barbarians, and even the local governors, the governors must be honest and dare not collude with court officials to play any tricks. Otherwise, as soon as the cavalry rushed over, they would all be ruined.

It can be said that a powerful cavalry is a powerful weapon to shock the world.

However, after searching through the information of the imperial guards, the capital camps, the border troops and the guards, he found that there were no cavalry at all in the Ming Dynasty!

This period can be said to be the most embarrassing period of the Ming army. There was really no regular cavalry unit in the entire Ming Dynasty.

The invincible San Thousand Battalions of the Yongle Dynasty were gone as far as the Tumu Fortress Incident. During the Jiajing Dynasty, a cavalry team of 3,000 people was rebuilt. This cavalry was called Shenshu Camp.

However, the cavalry of the Shenshu Camp are composed of heroic and noble children in the Jing camp. Their mission is to raise the flags and replace the duties of the flag bearer guards. They are not formed to charge in order to take the battle.

The Ming border army originally had 30,000 to 40,000 cavalry, but unfortunately they were all destroyed by Yang Hao in the Battle of Sarhu, and their horses became Jiannu's spoils!

As for the Guanning Iron Cavalry, which was famous all over the world, there is no sign at this moment, because the Guanning Iron Cavalry was formed after Sun Chengzong built the Guanning Jin defense line, and it was not until Yuan Chonghuan shined during the Ningyuan victory and the Ningjin victory.

In other words, the Ming Dynasty really couldn't find any cavalry at this moment.

What to do?

Taichang thought about it and decided to transfer the famous Guanning Iron Cavalry generals behind him to reorganize the cavalry in the Beijing camp.

There are many generals of Guanning Iron Cavalry, the most famous ones are the combination of Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui, the uncle and nephew. However, both of them belong to the Liaodong warlord system and are not very reliable. They may be rebellious. The rest, the only ones that are barely comparable to their fame is Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao.

Cao Wenzhao is said to be the most powerful general in the late Ming Dynasty. It is easy for thousands of troops to take the heads of the enemy generals from the confluence.

Unfortunately, it was because he was too fierce that in history, he actually led a thousand Guanning cavalry to chase more than 100,000 peasant troops, but ended up in a heavy siege and died in battle!

It is said that Cao Bianjiao is even more powerful than his uncle. This guy once led 800 men to raid the Jiannu camp, and he was brave all the way and fought to Huang Taiji. He killed the generals of the Jiannu Eight Banners so scared that they were all afraid of it. Finally, he mobilized tens of thousands of archers to shoot in a random manner before forcing him to retreat.

Unfortunately, before Cao Bianjiao could gain fame, he was outnumbered in the Battle of Songjin, captured by Jiannu, and died unyieldingly.

This is definitely fine with uncle and nephew. No matter what, those who can sacrifice their lives for the Ming Dynasty can prove their loyalty.

Qi Jin, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, including Sun Chengzong, Lu Xiangsheng, and Sun Chuanting, all of them would rather die than betray the Ming Dynasty.

If your life is gone, then nothing will be gone. Do they still need doubt on their loyalty?

Therefore, there is no need to doubt the loyalty of Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao. They are much better than Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui who surrendered to Jiannu when the situation is wrong.

As soon as he thought of this, Taichang immediately ordered people to send a letter eight hundred miles in a hurry. Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao's uncle and nephew rushed to the capital to meet the saint.

Within three days, the uncle and nephew rushed to the capital.

To be honest, Cao Wenzhao was really confused.

He was just a general in the Datong Army. In the 47th year of Wanli, when the Battle of Sarhu was defeated, he followed the Shanxi border army to Liaodong to support him.

At the beginning, under the leadership of the governor Xiong Tingbi, they also made some contributions, at least they could not make any progress north of Shenyang.

However, as soon as the manager Xiong Tingbi left, the reinforcements from all walks of life were in chaos. Jiannu then took the opportunity to take over the important town of Chenyang, and the military orders issued by the successor Yuan Yingtai were basically gone.

He didn't know what was going on. More than 100,000 troops were suddenly defeated. Jiang Bi, the general officer of the Liao army, took them all the way west and fled wildly. Finally, he fled to Ningyuan, and was then incorporated by Sun Chengzong, the Grand Secretary of the Supervisor.

This battle was really atrocity. He didn't even see the enemy's shadow, and the army began to be defeated.

It can be said that not only did he not achieve success, but he was also suspected of deserting.

Unexpectedly, he had just arrived in Ningyuan and had not received a new position. Master Sun Chengzong, the Grand Secretary of the Inspector, ordered him to take his nephew and transform into the dragon and quickly come to the capital to meet the saint.

What did the emperor ask them for?

He brought his young nephew Cao Bianjiao to the palace with trepidation and entered the imperial study room. He bowed to the head and didn't dare to take a look at the emperor at all.

Now he is a defeated general, and he really has no shame to see the emperor!

Unexpectedly, the emperor stood up, walked up to him quickly, bent down to hold his arm and said kindly: "Oh, General Cao, work hard all the way, hurry up, get up."

I!

No, Master, what do you want to do?

Cao Wenzhao was helped up in such a daze. Even being flattered could not describe his mood at this moment. He was simply stunned.

The young Cao Bianjiao even lay there and didn't dare to move. Maybe he felt that the emperor just called his uncle to get up and didn't ask him to get up, so he couldn't get up.

Unexpectedly, the emperor bent down and grabbed his arm again and said kindly: "General Cao, you should get up too."

Call me general?

Your Majesty, you are afraid you have made a mistake. I am my uncle's personal soldier. To put it bluntly, it is just a chores service!

Cao Bianjiao was so confused that he was completely stunned.

Next, something even more shocking happened.

The emperor looked at Cao Bianjiao up and down, and praised repeatedly: "Oh, I didn't expect that General Cao would be so heroic and would become a great man in the future! General Cao, otherwise, I will make a relative of you, and my little girl Huiyan is just twelve. She is very compatible with General Cao. How about we decide this marriage?"

ah?

When Cao Wenzhao heard this, his chin almost fell to the ground.

It is rumored that the emperor was murdered after he ascended the throne, and he became a little crazy. Could it be that the emperor was crazy now?

He was stunned for a while before he said with difficulty: "Master, are you kidding?"

Who is joking with you?

Taichang immediately said seriously: "You don't joke. How could I joke with you in this kind of thing? Just say, do you agree with this marriage?"

Do I dare disagree?

You are the emperor!

Cao Wenzhao hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you for your grace, the emperor."

This time, Cao Bianjiao's chin was almost falling to the ground.

How could he have imagined that he, a little soldier, could actually pick up a wife after he followed his uncle to the capital, and this wife was still a princess!

No one would have thought of this kind of thing!

Both uncle and nephew were stunned at this moment.

Could it be that the emperor summoned them from Liaodong to the capital just to choose a princess for the princess?

Of course not!

Taichang has long considered this marriage.

Although his son is only two, his daughter is three, and he can get married in less than a few years.

If we follow the ancestral teachings, his three daughters can only find a commoner to marry.

This ordinary people are the same as choosing a palace maid. They must have pure ordinary people without any identity background.

Perhaps, the two ancestors, Hongwu and Yongle, were both trying to prevent foreign relatives from interfering in politics.

Don't you know that this has weakened the strength of the royal family.

The emperor must choose a concubine himself as a commoner without any background, and his children must also be a commoner without any background. Doesn’t this mean that the emperor has to face the challenges of all forces alone!

People can get married and form cliques, why can't they become emperors?

Isn’t this just because you weaken your own strength?

Therefore, once the imperial guards and personal troops are finished, the emperor will be alone and even civil officials will not be able to fight against them.

This is definitely not possible. We also have to form cliques and strengthen our strength from all aspects.

As for the interference of foreign relatives, it depends on the control of an emperor. If the control of an emperor is not good, it will be a waste if the interference of foreign relatives is not good!
