After the guests and hosts sat down and exchanged simple greetings for a while, Ye Tian finally understood their identities.

The one dressed as a farmer is Wang Yaqiao!

In order to hide his identity, so as not to be discovered by many offended big bosses, so as to concentrate on the war of resistance, he lived in seclusion here.

The middle-aged Taoist priest is called Tang Zhengyang, and his identity is very mysterious!

He is an expert in secretly guarding the Ming Tomb, and his job is the battalion commander of the Shenji Battalion!

In the eighth year of Yongle, when Ming Chengzu Zhu Di led his troops to conquer the barbarian countries in Southeast Asia, he used hot weapons on the battlefield and set up a special responsible force - Shenjiying.

During the Yujia's personal expedition to Mobei, Zhu Di gradually perfected the tactics of Shenjiying.

When facing the enemy, the firearms go first, the cavalry follow closely behind, and the infantry clean up the battlefield last.

Under the guidance of this theory, the Shenji Battalion cooperates with infantry and cavalry to fight, and it is almost invincible.

The application of firearms became more and more specialized, and the Shenji Battalion became a special branch of the Ming army.

The Shenji Battalion had heavy responsibilities, shouldering the important task of "guarding the capital inside and preparing for war outside", and was a strategic mobile force directly commanded by the emperor.

Its establishment is not large, with 3600 infantry, 1000 cavalry, and 400 artillery. The total strength is exactly 5000.

However, because of its strong combat effectiveness, the Shenji Battalion has gradually become one of the three main forces of the Imperial Guard.

This independent artillery force was in an international leading position at the time.

It was not until a century later that the Spanish Musketeers made their debut.

In other countries, the time for setting up thermal weapons troops is even later.

Undoubtedly, compared with the previous dynasties, the war mode of the Ming Dynasty has changed a lot, among which the application of firearms played a key role.

The application of firearms on the battlefield, the Song Dynasty was the embryonic stage, and the Ming Dynasty was the era of great development.

It was precisely because of the existence of Shenjiying that the national power of the Ming Dynasty became stronger and stronger.

In 1421, Zhu Di moved his capital to Beiping. From then on, all nations came to court, which is known as the prosperous age of Yongle in history.

It is a pity that due to various reasons, the Ming Dynasty perished after more than 200 years.

However, the Shenji Battalion, as a unit deeply favored by the emperor, still survived.

Under the leadership of successive battalion commanders, it has maintained an establishment of 5000 people.

After the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, the Shenji Battalion and countless troops worked together to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.

Unfortunately, even so, they are powerless.

There was no way, after some tense discussions, the Shenji Camp decided to focus their strategy on protecting the Ming Tomb.

From then on, in Nanjing, especially in the Ming Tombs in Beijing, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were active.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, established his capital in Nanjing and was buried in Zhongshan, Nanjing after his death. His mausoleum is called Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum.

The second emperor was Zhu Yunwen, also known as Emperor Jianwen.

In the name of relieving the emperor from danger, Emperor Jianwen's uncle Zhu Di sent troops and chased him to Nanjing.

Since then, Emperor Jianwen has disappeared.

There are various opinions about Emperor Jianwen, and it has become an unsolved case, so he has no mausoleum.

The seventh emperor was Ming Daizong. His elder brother Yingzong was unfortunately captured because of his adventures against the barbarians, and he came to power with the support of the queen mother and ministers.

However, after Yingzong came back, he killed him, refused to recognize him as the emperor, and destroyed his tomb.

Moreover, Yingzong gave his younger brother the status of "king" and buried him elsewhere.

In this way, of the sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty, two were buried in other places, one whereabouts is unknown, and the remaining thirteen were buried in Tianshou Mountain. This is the Ming Tombs.

Chapter 736 Gold and Iron Horse

What I have to say is that, just like when it first formed the army, the Shenji Battalion has always set high standards and strict requirements for the selection of personnel and the training of soldiers.

Among them, the most important thing is that you must be loyal to the country and the emperor.

However, after the Ming Dynasty destroyed the country, especially after the failure of the anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty, the battalion commanders of all dynasties also set up an ancestral precept.

It is absolutely impossible to have any relationship with the government of the Qing Dynasty.

Otherwise, he will be sentenced to death by Ling Chi!

Of course, after the anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty restoration, the only duty of the Shenji Battalion was to protect the 15 Ming Tombs.

They are all masters of martial arts.

They regard themselves as swordsmen of the Ming Dynasty and are familiar with the use of various knives, especially flying knives.

In addition, considering that the era of thermal weapons has already been developed, and they are the originators of thermal weapons troops, they are very familiar with thermal weapons.

What made Ye Tian dumbfounded was that in order to better carry out the ancestral precepts, Shenjiying also made a big move.

Study abroad in European and American powers, especially in key military academies overseas!

Of course, in order to strictly keep the secrets, when they signed up, they used their personal identities.

I would rather waste more tongues, and I'm willing to do so.

Not to mention, after graduation, every soldier will have to work as a mercenary overseas for a period of time!

In this way, each of them is absolutely elite.

That's right, if you can use modern guns proficiently, and you are still a kung fu master, if this is not an elite, what is it?

Hearing Tang Zhengyang's words, Ye Tian's eyes became brighter and brighter.

I rub!

Isn't this an elite force?

No, no, not one, but two!

One is the elite version of the Ax Gang, and the other is the Shenjiying!

However, Ye Tian has a question.

Also, if you go to a foreign military academy for further study, if you don't have enough connections, you have to spend a lot of money to speak.
