Four and a half regimental battalions were newly trained, totaling 70,000 people.
It is impossible to give them all to Fang Ying.
The cabinet issued a list, including Gong Yongji, Yu Shan, Li Xi, Zhang Gu, Huang Shijun, Feng Guanqing, Xiang Zhong, Cao Yi, Shi Ju, Jiao Li, Tian Li, Chen Wang, Zhang Tong and others.
This list is relatively reliable.
Gong Yongji worked with Yu Qian to ensure that Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne. He served as an official for more than 40 years and as a soldier for 20 years. It was more than enough to serve as a commander of a regiment and battalion.
Although Yu Shan opposed the appointment of Zhu Jianji as crown prince during the Yi Chu turmoil, he was a neutral faction.
Li Xi was originally the general political envoy and was later transferred to Nanjing.
Zhang Gun is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. He once urged the Supreme Emperor during his Northern Campaign. Now he is patrolling Sichuan. He is a capable man.
Cao Yi guarded Liaodong, guarded the border areas, and did not make any mistakes. He was the most famous person who guarded Liaodong after Wu Kai.
Shi Ju and Jiao Li were Cao Yi's generals.
Tian Li was the commander of the regiment and made his mark together with Fan Guang. Although his ability was not as good as Fan Guang's, he was not Shi Heng's man.
Chen Wang is the chief military officer of Guangxi. Now that Liu Pu is in charge of Guangxi, it is okay to order Chen Wang to return to Beijing.
Zhang Tong is the commander of the Japanese army. He is not very capable, but he is a neutral faction.
Huang Shijun and Feng Guanqing are both capable talents.
The cabinet is finally willing to recommend reliable talents.
Zhu Qiyu nodded slightly: "Let's all go back to Beijing."
"Your Majesty, among Cao Yi, Shi Ju and Jiao Li, at most two people have been ordered to return to the capital. Liu Guangheng returned to the capital. Liaodong is only supported by Shang Lu. The veteran is worried that he is unable to do it, so one veteran is still needed to guard it." Hu Hui. Advice.
"No, call them all back!"
Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "The imperial court recommends another person to succeed the Liaodong General Soldier."
He was a little unsure whether Cao Yi, Shi Ju, and Jiao Li were neutral or people from Zhu Qizhen, so he simply ordered them back to the capital and watched under his nose.
Besides, these three veterans are already very young and it’s time for them to return to Beijing and enjoy their old age.
There is also a deeper meaning. Shi Ju and Jiao Li are not Han people. They are the second generation of Han Mongolians. If these two people are left to guard Liaodong, Zhu Qiyu will not worry.
"There are very few people in Beijing who can guard Liaodong."
Hu Bi chewed and said that Liang Yun was qualified, but His Majesty would definitely not let him go.
"Your Majesty, there has been no war in Liaodong recently, but Shang Chu can temporarily suppress it. Although Shang Gong is pedantic, he can also be regarded as cautious, and he can completely guard Liaodong for a while." Lin Cong remonstrated.
Zhu Qiyu was also unsure and looked at Hu Hui.
"Shang Lu is fine, but I'm worried that he won't be able to suppress the arrogant soldiers in Liaodong. It's better to keep Cao Yi in Liaodong and transfer Shi Ju and Jiao Li back to the capital first." Hu Hui weighed and said.
Because of the civil servants' side, those who are good at organizing the army will also be transferred back to the capital to take over the regiment and camp. There is indeed no candidate who can supervise Liaodong.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at Hu Bi, who nodded slightly.
Obviously, Hu Hui was not worried about the two generals Shi Ju and Jiao Li. Without Cao Yi, what would happen if they surrendered to the enemy?
"Leave Jiao Sheng, Jiao Qian, and Shi Shi in Liaodong to calm Jiao Li and Shi Ju," Hu Hui added.
Jiao Sheng and Jiao Qian were Jiao Li's elder brothers, and Shi Ji was Shi Ju's younger brother. They stayed in Liaodong to show the sincerity of the central government.
"Let's do this first, and then let Cao Yi return to Beijing when a suitable candidate is found!"
Zhu Qiyu nodded slightly: "My lords, since you have decided to recruit troops, you must first settle your family members. For those who are recruited by the regiment camp, their family members will first be placed in Chaoyang City."
"Your Majesty's words are very true. Firstly, they can calm the hearts of the refugees; secondly, they can inspire young people to join the army."
Hu Bi did not mention recruiting from military households.
The military households have long since died. Today's military households are actually a group of slaves. The slaves who cannot escape are expected to fight on the battlefield. It is more practical to build another archway and spend money to recruit soldiers.
"Instructor Shi Pu to properly identify the refugees and give priority to military dependents. Those whose family members are in the military will be allocated real estate in Chaoyang City first. Houses can be selected and houses will be built for them first."
Zhu Qiyu changed the topic: "Now that we have recruited the regiment, I plan to break up the guards and reorganize them. Those who do not meet the conditions will be eliminated directly!"
"Your Majesty, I have no objection to the reorganization of the Imperial Guards. However, the commanders of each Imperial Guards are all served by Xunchen. But now that the Xunchens are all in Xuanzang, how can they come back to reorganize and train the Imperial Guards?" Hu Hui retorted.
"What the old master said is true."
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "I plan to order the sons of hundreds of Chinese and civil military officials to enter the palace as sword-wielding guards. Of course, it is not mandatory. Those who intend to join the military can enter the palace and accept the call. Those who don't want to can also do so. I will never force it."
"I plan to promote commanders and train guards from among these newcomers!"
Hu Xi's face tightened, thinking that after the emperor had harmed his daughters, he was now attacking his son!
I was relieved to hear that it wasn't forced.
"I also know that forceful melons are not sweet, and there are dangers in joining the military. Letting these pampered children join the army and suffer the hardships of the wind and sand is probably just wishful thinking between me and you."
"However, in the families of the ministers in the court, there are not only legitimate sons, but also many bastards."
"Usually, the court doesn't care about these bastards. These bastards are either hanging around in the rouge and gouache, or they are bullying the good and bullying outside. Anyway, they have no future in life."
"But it's different now. I've decided to clean up the atmosphere in Gyeonggi and train these bastards into talents!"
"You don't have time to take care of it. Throw it into the palace and I will take care of it for you."
"No one is born to be a famous general, and no one is born to be a coward!"
"Everything that you dare not take care of at home or can't take care of is sent to the palace. I will help you take care of it. I don't think they will all become successful. At least they don't dare to relax in front of me! In the future, no matter what, at least they will get out of the house. Come and show yourself!"
"My lords, what do you think?"
After arresting Baiguan's daughter, Zhu Qiyu wanted to arrest Baiguan's son.
However, the official lady and the rich young man were rubbing shoulders in the palace. If something happened to mess up the palace, people would laugh at them if word spread.
Hu Hui was unwilling in his heart. His son was not a fuel-efficient lamp. He didn't want to be tricked to death by his son.
Including Lin Cong, Wang Wen and others were unwilling.
However, Wang Zhi knelt on the ground with a bang and burst into tears: "Your Majesty, your words have touched my heart!"
"Those unfilial sons in my family have tortured me to the point of physical and mental exhaustion."
"If you want to take care of it, firstly, there is no time, and secondly, the tigress at home is blocking it, preventing you from being disciplined."
"The old minister's sons have all been raised to waste!"
"The sons of the old minister are all willing to enter the palace and be trained by Your Majesty!"
Wang Zhi cried so hard that he felt numb.
Lin Cong felt an inexplicable chill in his heart. His position as the number one licking dog was not guaranteed.
"Your Majesty is really my reborn parent. You know what I think and you are willing to worry about my family. How dare you not dedicate yourself to me?"
Lin Cong immediately knelt down and flattered him to the fullest.
Then, all the officials in the Qinzheng Hall knelt down and begged the emperor to take good care of the unfilial sons in the family.
There was a sound of crying in Qinzheng Hall, and some people thought that their son was dead.
Hu Xi felt a toothache, and finally sighed, these sycophants!
Seeing that the officials were so obedient, Zhu Qiyu raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Please rest assured, sir. If any of you in your family have a talent for reading and become a guard with a sword, I will also allow them to take part in the imperial examination."
Immediately, Wang Zhi, Li Xian and others' eyes lit up.
What civilian officials are diligently pursuing is military power!
Wouldn't it be beautiful if the legitimate son joined politics and the concubine joined the army?
Hu Xi frowned. The emperor was blurring the dividing line between civil and military affairs. Isn't he afraid that Yang Jian and Gao Cheng would appear?
"Then the matter will be settled and the cabinet will pass the order."
Zhu Qiyu wanted to control the imperial guards, but he did not have enough direct relatives, so he had to send more people in to supervise each other.
Of course, the distinction between civil and military forces must never change. Civilization is civility and military force is martial arts. Civilization can overpower military affairs, but military force must not overtake civil affairs. That is the way to create chaos.
He can still suppress it while he is alive, but what if a young monarch appears?
Military generals must be born from honorable ministers, and they can also be recruited from the public, but they must not be born from civil servants.
Besides, who said there is no need for civil servants in the army?
Are you thinking wrongly?
"Your Majesty, it's time for breakfast." Feng Xiao reminded in a low voice.
"Pass the meal, all the gentlemen will also have a bowl of porridge and a bite of pickles here."
Zhu Qiyu was a rare generous person and gave Feng Xiao a wink, "Don't serve the eggs. I have to eat them secretly."
After dinner.
Zhu Qiyu asked people to step back.
He took out the box and looked at it carefully. When he found that there was no sign of it being opened, he breathed a sigh of relief and found a place to hide it.
At this time, it was already broad daylight, and the Military Aircraft Department sent the memorial.
At the same time, Zhang Yong's godson Liang Fang sent a secret revelation, which was sent by Pingjiang Marquis Chen Yu.
Chen Yu was originally Pingjiang Bo. After he ascended the throne, he was granted the title of Marquis of Pingjiang by the Jin Dynasty and was given a three-generation certificate. He is now the garrison of Nanjing.
Expand the memorial.
"The great vassals of Huguang and Southeast wanted to control Hujiang and control the barbarians and Yue. They established diplomatic relations with Guangzhou, Guizhou and Shu. The people gathered together, merchants came and went, and there were four gatherings of boats and carriages."
"For example, the Chu Mansion, since the founding of the country at the beginning of Hongwu, has had three guards, and no officers, soldiers or ceremonial guards and flag schools have been mobilized. In the past forty or fifty years, the population has increased, there has been no accumulation of food and wages, thousands of ships have been built, tens of thousands of horses have been purchased, and soldiers have A strong country and a wealthy country are beyond the reach of other vassals."
"And the officials in the guard office are mostly in-laws, and they are connected by branches and branches. The villains have different plans when they take advantage of them, and it is really difficult to control them. I beg the emperor not to have any doubts, but to be honest."
"In the absence of anything else, I entrusted the grain reserves of the capital to refuse, and ordered the important ministers and the Huguang Division to select the elite escort officers to provide grain and ships, and order them to be transported to Beijing. If they were to be retained by the envoys for preparation, their wings would be clipped and they would be eliminated. With his evil plan, the king can protect the country forever, and the court thinks of both justice and justice."
Zhu Qiyu read it carefully and sighed: "Who said there are no pillars in the imperial court!"
Judging from the time of signing, it should be that Chen Yu received the memorial written after the death of King Xiang and spread it to the capital.
He didn't know that so many things had happened in the capital.
What's more, he didn't know that Prince Xiang's family assets had been swallowed up by some vassal kings.
"O loyal minister!"
Zhu Qiyu sighed, and immediately thought about Chen Yu's meaning.
The Marquis of Pingjiang, Chen Yu, is trying to flatter himself and wants to be transferred back to the capital? Or is it just flattery? Rely on yourself?
"Are Chen Hu and Chen Rui in the capital?" Zhu Qiyu asked Feng Xiao.
Chen Hu is Chen Yu's younger brother, and Chen Rui is Chen Yu's eldest son.
"Your Majesty, Chen Rui is in the capital, and Chen Hu came to the capital from Nanjing with a secret." Feng Xiao reported back.
Zhu Qiyu raised the corner of his mouth. Chen Yu was a smart man. He was worried that he would not be able to move, so he sent his brother back and allowed the emperor to send him around to find a way for his brother.
If this secret message to cut down the vassal was spread, it would definitely cause an uproar.
When it comes to cutting down vassals, not only Jianwen and Yongle cut down vassals, but Emperor Xuanzong was also cutting down vassals.
The Hongxi Dynasty had nearly 20,000 people guarding various royal palaces. Emperor Xuanzong cut off 10,000 people with one blow, leaving only a fixed number of 5,600 people.
Chen Yu's sword is feasible. The princes of Huguang and Jiangxi are not honest. Prince Xiang's family members dare to be greedy and steal money from me?
Haha, those who robbed me of money must either return it obediently or go to see the King of Hell.
Where should you go?
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Taizu's establishment of vassals was definitely the trigger for the demise of the Ming Dynasty. Each government supported a vassal king, and some counties even had to support a vassal king.
Who will support the few thousand people in the feudal prince's palace and the tens of thousands people? Where does the money come from?
Anyway, it is definitely not from officials or gentry.
Only the people at the bottom are unlucky, especially as time goes by, the number of sects and vassalages increases, the size of the clans is extremely large, and they are all freeloaders, which can be called the largest in the history.
The people became increasingly impoverished, and the court was so poor that it vomited blood. The clans that exchanged economy for politics were also extremely dissatisfied. Even the lower-level clans could not even eat enough to eat, and they rebelled one after another.
To put it bluntly, the Ming Dynasty was sucked to death by the feudal kings.
We can take the opportunity to first eliminate the sect's guards, then kill a group of them, imprison a group of them, and give those who are honest and obedient a way to survive.
"It is announced that Chen Hu and Chen Rui will enter the palace and serve as guards with swords first."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered: "I am sending a message to Li Zhen that the capital is experiencing food difficulties. I would like to purchase a batch of food from Huguang and pay for it with internal funds."
"Your Majesty, there are so many refugees in Huguang, how can we still sell grain?" Feng Xiao was puzzled.
"Huh, refugees? Where there are more refugees, there will be more food!"
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Not to mention the merchants, nor the local officialdom, but those sects and vassals must have made a lot of money. If I spend money to buy it, they will definitely sell it!"
"The refugees in Huguang..."
Zhu Qiyu glanced at him, and he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.
"If I don't buy it, will the refugees be able to eat?"
Zhu Qiyu asked back: "It is precisely this food that prevents the refugees from eating!"
Feng Xiao kowtows to apologize, but doesn't understand.
If the food is gone, the vassal princes, officials, and grain merchants will resettle the refugees and allocate land to them for farming in order to make money.
Otherwise, no matter how the Chaotang regulates it, the refugees will not be cut off.
"Go and deliver the message."
Zhu Qiyu continued to review the memorials.
…
Wang Zhi burst into tears as he walked out of the palace.
He was still a human before entering the palace, but now he is worse than a dog.
"Master, is there still a way?" Wang Zhi asked crying.
Hu Zhi despised Wang Zhi as a human being, but the emperor was so domineering and the court was under his control, what could Wang Zhi do?
He sighed quietly and looked at Li Xian and Lin Cong.
Lin Cong bowed first: "I am a low-ranking official who has no choice but to do so!"
"Old Master, this is not the place to talk. Please come to the official residence and talk to each other." Li Xian looked carefully at him.
Nowadays, their lives are not happy, but some of them are high-spirited, such as Yue Zheng.
"All right."
Hu Hui could also see the pain in their hearts.
There is always a process for turning a person into a dog.
The emperor probably knew it too, so he allowed him to vent his anger at the palace gate without paying any attention. In fact, he was confident that the court would not be able to cause trouble.
Arrive at Li Xian's house.
Hu Hui said lightly: "He wanted to be the Taizu, so the courtiers offered him the chance to be the Taizu."
"Ah?" Lin Cong didn't understand.
But Li Xian thought about it and raised his thumb: "Wonderful!"
Didn’t Zhu Qiyu want to be the Holy Emperor?
Then just follow him and let him do it!
Leave all the problems that have troubled the court for many years to him and let him solve them.
Don’t you want to be Taizu?
Okay, we will help you and become Taizu!
Taizu took care of all kinds of things every day, so you should take care of all kinds of things every day. Problems that throw the sky are as big as a cart. If you want to be Taizu, you have to cure the stubborn diseases and bring peace to the world.
Just see if you have Taizu's ability to forcefully solve problems!
"Your Majesty, I will immediately report to you the shortcomings of the capital and ask for His Majesty's judgment!" Li Xian smiled mischievously.
Hu Xi shook her head: "Take your time."
Li Xian was stunned for a moment and then laughed.
Boil the frog in warm water.
Throwing out difficult problems in one breath can easily scare the emperor away. What if he becomes Emperor Xuanzong instead of Taizu?
Hahaha!
Li Xian paid homage to Hu Hui: "I admire you very much!"
Lin Cong, Wang Zhi and others also kowtowed.
"Your Majesty needs capable ministers and officials, so we must become capable ministers and officials."
"I know your abilities well. As long as you are willing to focus half of your energy on government affairs, you will be unmatched."
"Your Majesty wants to be the great ancestor, and I will praise him as the great ancestor!"
"If Your Majesty criticizes the ills of the times and wants to reform, I am waiting for you to be Wang Anshi!"
"If Your Majesty personally conquers Mobei and wants to conquer the world, I will serve as the pillars of the Yongle Dynasty!"
"We will do whatever His Majesty wants us to do!"
"One day, Your Majesty will become Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty."
Hu Xi chuckled.
Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was an eternal sage in his early period. As wise as he was in his early period, he would be mediocre in his later period.
Does the Taizong of Tang Dynasty mentioned by Hu Hui belong to the early period? Or is it late?
Besides, can Zhu Qiyu have the skills of Tang Taizong? It would be fun if you didn't become Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and became Gaozu of the Song Dynasty.
Li Xian, Lin Cong and others couldn't help laughing.
"Then I'll do this Wei Zheng!" Li Xian chuckled.
"Although Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui couldn't do it, they did it with integrity!" Lin Cong chuckled.
"I can't be a famous official, but I can be your Majesty's favorite!" Wang Zhi said with a smile.
"Praise to death, praise to death, the most terrifying thing in the world is flattery to death."
Hu Hui disliked Chen Xun's attitude of being a powerful minister the most.
Therefore, it is not unjust to cause the disaster of death.
He likes to make big moves, just like when he was searching for Jianwen, he peeled off the cocoons and eliminated the false while retaining the true.
He likes to look like the emperor likes.
Praising and killing the emperor bit by bit, leading him to destruction in his arrogance.
For example, Emperor Taizong!
Yang Shiqi's methods were more clever and he coaxed the good saint grandson into obsolescence.
It's not easy to fool him now, so let's be the stupid Emperor Taizong. He started from conquests and died from conquests. Even his own son is like water and fire with him.
The supreme Emperor Yongle! hehe!
…
Dai Han took Cui Ying, the former eunuch in charge of the military affairs bureau, and four craftsmen to the Qinzheng Hall to pay a visit.
The craftsman's name is Zhang Dajian.
He stutters a bit, but he is the best gunpowder craftsman. The gunpowder he mixes is very precise and has the lowest rate of bad things.
"Your Majesty, the military battle station is close to water and is susceptible to moisture. Firearms are most afraid of moisture. Maintenance costs are too high. I am worried about the impact of lead."
Zhang Dajian spoke intermittently, and what he said was not very clear.
In other words, being close to water makes the projectile susceptible to moisture.
"Moreover, I'm worried that if the gunpowder explodes accidentally, it will affect the imperial city. Even if I kill my whole family, I don't dare to disturb the Holy One!"
Zhang Dajian was panting heavily before he finished speaking.
It's not clear either.
They were afraid that the gunpowder would explode and affect the imperial city, and they would be beheaded.
Zhu Qiyu didn't feel dissatisfied and asked him to speak slowly.
But after waiting for a long time, he actually finished speaking.
Feng Xiao coughed and reminded Dai Han, why did he bring such a thing into the palace?
Dai Han glared at Cui Ying angrily. They were all recommended by Cui Ying.
"It's just that I didn't think carefully."
Zhu Qiyu nodded slightly: "The war situation has been cleared, right?"
"Your Majesty, it's finished." Dai Han reported back.
"Then let's install the Ordnance Bureau."
It’s not bad to keep the armor right under your nose.
Zhu Qiyu asked Feng Xiao to bring the map and pointed to the location of the Supervisor of Ceremonies: "What do you think of this place?"
The Si Li Jian is located in the north of Long Live Mountain, next to the Internal Officials Jian and the Scarf and Hat Bureau.
"Your Majesty, you don't dare to occupy the place of the Supervisor of Ceremonies! The Supervisor of Ceremonies is the center of the palace. Compared with the military bureau, ten thousand military bureaus are not as valuable as the Supervisor of Ceremonies!" Dai Han knelt on the ground.
But why does this sound like giving Zhang Yong eye drops?
How did Zhang Yong offend him?
Or, just after living a stable life, do you want to fight dog with dog and engage in internal fighting?
"It doesn't matter, the Supervisor of Ceremonies has just moved back to the palace."
Zhu Qiyu muttered: "Build a row of houses outside Huiji Gate and inside Donghua Gate to serve as the place for the Supervisor of Ceremonies. If the house is bigger, it doesn't hurt to occupy more space. From now on, the Supervisor of Ceremonies will be placed here. I Pick up the book and hang it in person."
"My slave obeys the order!" Feng Xiao bowed and said.
Zhu Qiyu looked at Zhang Dajian: "What else can I do?"
"No, no." Zhang Dajian waved his hands repeatedly, forgetting the rules. Feng Xiao wanted to hit him, but Zhu Qiyu stopped him.
"I will satisfy every request you make!"
Zhu Qiyu looked at the other three craftsmen's households. These three were named Liu Shangxue, Shen Chang, and Yu Zhongguang. They were all outstanding craftsmen.
The three of them said no.
"Then I will make a request!"
Zhu Qiyu stood up slowly: "I restructured the military strategy because I hope that Ming Dynasty will develop more powerful firearms!"
"You should know clearly that if I want to conquer Mobei, I will not be short of firearms."
"So, I can satisfy all your requirements!"
"You must also meet my requirements!"
Zhu Qiyu's voice became louder and louder: "I know that the military affairs bureau is full of officialdom. The craftsmen are treated as adults, and the craftsmen are just messing around. They don't regard the military bureau as a home!"
"But after I restructured the Military and War Bureau, the Military and War Bureau was subordinate to the Military Aircraft Department and was under my direct control!"
"There are no more craftsmen in the war bureau!"
"Only if households improve their firearms and make more practical and powerful firearms, I will not hesitate to reward them!"
"If you want to become an official, you can do it. If you want to be rewarded, you can become a rich man. If you want your son to join the Imperial Guard or Dongchang, you can do it!"
"Zhang Dajian, did you hear what I said?"
"I heard it!" Zhang Dajian looked excited. He didn't quite believe the imperial decree when he heard it before, but when he heard His Majesty personally admit it, he really believed it.
The craftsman household has a lowly status and has been a lowly status for generations. To become a civilian household is tantamount to crossing the class, which is even more difficult.
"In this war bureau, I only appoint Dai Han as the admiral eunuch and Cui Ying as the palm eunuch. I will not appoint any other officials!"
"You, Zhang Dajian, are the ambassador; Liu Shangxue, Shen Chang, and Yu Zhongguang are the deputy envoys!"
"I didn't ask you to be an official!"
"I want you to serve the craftsmen!"
"Remember, it's service!"
"You have to open your eyes for the craftsmen. Tell me what they lack or want!"
"I give it!"
"As long as you can make me excellent firearms, mass-produce them, and provide me with armaments across Mobei, I will be satisfied with everything."
Zhu Qiyu turned over these few words over and over again.
Need a powerful firearm!
Zhang Dajian and the four others were shocked. Did the emperor let them serve as officials?
Kneel down quickly to give thanks.
Zhu Qiyu clapped his hands, and Fu Gang brought up a life certificate: "This is a marquis life certificate. It is hereditary and irreplaceable. You can also be made a marquis!"
boom!
This sentence frightened Zhang Dajian and the four others.
Are they bitches? Also, can it also be made a marquis?
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, are you trying to trick us?" Zhang Dajian was so anxious that he stopped even calling His Majesty.
Feng Xiaogang was about to scold, but Zhu Qiyu waved his hand.
"If you don't believe it, you can make it and see if I reward you!" Zhu Qiyu said with a smile.
Gulu!
Zhang Dajian's eyes gleamed.
The most valuable thing in Ming Dynasty is the title.
"Your Majesty, whatever you want to do, I will do it! As long as you are willing to reward me with any coupons, I will be willing to pay anything!"
Zhang Dajian was so anxious that he kowtowed.
The other three people also shouted.
Feng Xiao frowned, how could such a bitch deserve the title?
Zhu Qiyu noticed his expression and couldn't help but sneer. Which of the knights of Taizu and Taizong is not a mud-legged person? Who is noble?
Talented people are noble!
"good!"
"In a few days, when the construction of the military warfare bureau is completed, I will go to the military warfare bureau personally to test the guns."
"I will tell you what kind of gun you can make, and I will reward you with a title!"
"The Marquis is not the only one who gets the reward, the Duke also gets it!"
Zhu Qiyu's words made Zhang Dajian completely crazy.
It can stimulate Zhang Dajian's enthusiasm more than letting him be the ambassador.
After chatting for a few more words, they left.
"Feng Xiao, I asked you to summon the craftsmen before, why didn't I see it?" Zhu Qiyu just remembered that he wanted to light up the technology tree.
"When I get back to the Emperor, the craftsmen have been summoned, but the Emperor is too busy and has no time to see them."
"Um."
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Is Dong Ci's workshop open for business? Those women must be properly placed. I don't know how many of these women are the family members of the soldiers in the Beijing camp. If they become Changji, how should I explain to the soldiers? !”
"Back to the emperor, Dong Ci is still collecting the workshops of merchants in the capital. It will take some time to organize them." Feng Xiao said cautiously.
"Where are those women? Where are they placed?"
"Place it in Rabbit Mountain."
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "It's okay in Tu'er Mountain. Let the eunuchs in the palace guard it. Don't touch the men, so as not to make a joke!"
"The women and girls who were rescued by factory guards were also placed in Tu'er Mountain."
"Give stuttering food every day, don't starve to death." Zhu Qiyu warned.
"My slave obeys the order!" Feng Xiao accepted the order.
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "Urge Dong Ci, if you can't do it well, I'll replace him with someone else!"
"Don't look for the merchant's things yourself. Go and bribe those in charge. Recruit them all and let them serve the royal merchant house. Put the deeds in the palace. Anyone who is dishonest will be dealt with directly."
"Let Xu Gan send the eunuch who knows the eunuch to help him!"
"Speed up, don't wait for those merchants to come to their senses, and ask me for it when the time comes. I have to give it back, do you understand?"
"This slave understands the emperor's painstaking efforts!"
Feng Xiao took the lead.
It’s just that eating alone looks so ugly.
Zhu Qiyu let all the officials go out to eat and drink, but later regretted it. In the name of corruption, he asked them to hand over the stolen goods to the internal funds.
He had just killed the merchants and grabbed some extravagant wealth, but he was not satisfied yet. He wanted to turn all their fixed properties into his own.
Everyone is a fat sheep!
If I don’t eat everything, I will still be poor.
Zhu Qiyu did not have any psychological burden and continued to deal with the memorial.
Feng Xiao reported that Lu Zhong and Shu Liang were visiting.
Zhu Qiyu summoned Lu Zhong first. Seeing Lu Zhong's evil spirit, Zhu Qiyu nodded with satisfaction: "This is my Tiqi!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment!"
"Wei Chen, through Wu Zheng, discovered a total of 110,000 shi of dirty grain!"
"90,000 dan were intercepted, and 20,000 dan of grain sank into the river. Wei Chen is currently salvaging it. I don't think the loss will be much."
Lu Zhong reported the truth.
Zhu Qiyu seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "How many did you take?"
Lu Zhong's expression changed, and he kowtowed: "Your Majesty does not agree, I will never dare to touch a small minister, not even a grain of food. Please tell me clearly!"
"Get up, take what you got, and do things for me. There are not many rewards from the court, and it is human nature to have unclean hands and feet." Zhu Qiyu comforted him.
Lu Zhong insisted that he didn't take it.
Zhu Qiyu just smiled and sunk 20,000 shi. What a good excuse to be greedy.
Fortunately, the food crisis has been alleviated for the time being, otherwise, I will pluck your dog's head!
Feng Xiao came in holding a bronze talisman.
"This bronze talisman is engraved with your name and achievements. I give it to you as a reward for your merits!" Zhu Qiyu put his hand on his hand.
Thank you Lu Zhong.
"Lu Zhong, I am not satisfied with Tiqi, do you know?"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Zhong fell to the ground, trembling all over.
"The purpose of my formation of Tiqi is to monitor the world for me. Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Tiqi will monitor them separately and gather them into my hands for me to distinguish them."
"However, Tiqi did not exert the power I wanted."
"Indeed, it is not easy for you to win over the people's hearts among the orphans of those who died in Tumu Fort. I can understand that."
"Tiqi has only been established for a short period of time and its capabilities are insufficient. I can understand that."
"but!"
"Whenever, as long as I give you an order, you must do whatever it takes, even if it means risking your own life, to repay my kindness!"
Zhu Qiyu's voice changed: "This time, your merits and demerits are equal to each other. I will no longer pursue your faults or reward you."
"You still have to take Tiqi with you."
"Continue to expand the number of Tiqi and train quickly."
"Don't embarrass me when you go to the battlefield and see blood!"
Lu Zhong was shocked. Going to the battlefield was not a good thing. Who would want to die on the battlefield if they were used to living in peace.
But on the surface, he pretends to be happy.
Zhu Qiyu saw this in his eyes: "From now on, Tiqi will only have commanders, not admirals. You will be the commander of Tiqi, and Yu Kang will be the admiral of Tiqi."
Yu Kang is Yu Qian's adopted son.
Lu Zhong's expression changed slightly. From an admiral to a commander, his power was reduced.
Adding another deputy envoy, it is obvious that the emperor does not trust him.
"Don't think too much. Admirals are eunuchs. Do you also want to be a eunuch? Focus on Tiqi and clean up Tiqi. I will naturally promote you. Not to mention being a commander, the general can do it. , don’t you want to earn a title?”
Gulu!
Lu Zhong swallowed his saliva, who doesn't want to earn a title?
"Just do things honestly if you want. If you do well, I will give you a title. If you do it extremely well, I will give you a marquis. Why not?"
"By the way, don't interrogate those merchants who were caught, they were wasting rations, kill them all!"
"I will send Dongchang to search the house!"
Zhu Qiyu encouraged him and sent him away.
Shu Liang came in to see him.
Tell me what happened in Mengzhou.
"Shu Liang, do you think I should punish you?" Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered.
Shu Liang knelt on the ground with a bang: "I know my mistake, but I don't dare to defend myself. It's all my fault!"
"You do know how to say nice things!"
Zhu Qiyu asked him to get up and asked: "That Mengzhou, I heard you say that you value him very much, why did you fall to this level?"
Because Shu Liang had controlled Dongchang for a short time and controlled more than 300 people, it was already pretty good.
People like Zhang Yongnian, Meng Zhou and others are not his direct lineage.
Something went wrong, it was inevitable.
"It turns out that Meng Zhou's confession was all his own doing."
"But this slave refuses to listen to one person's words."
"After being tortured that night, I found out that it was a man named Zhou Cheng who killed Zhao Rong while Mengzhou was not paying attention."
"This Mengzhou is very heroic, values loyalty, and takes responsibility for Zhou City's crimes."
"The slaves also tortured Zhou Cheng."
"Zhou Cheng admitted that he hated Mengzhou because when Mengzhou appointed the general banner, he chose Fan Qing instead of him, so he hates him."
"In order to frame him, I killed Zhao Rong."
"Then he tricked Mengzhou and asked him to distribute the money to his brothers, and asked Dongchang Fanzi to keep the news secret and not spread it out."
"As far as I know, this Mengzhou regretted it very much afterwards. He didn't want to eat or drink, and he also lost weight."
Shu Liang is still returning to protect Mengzhou.
Zhu Qiyu frowned. In fact, this kind of thing is the most difficult to solve.
Loyalty and righteousness, sometimes you really can't have both.
"What do you think of Mengzhou?" Zhu Qiyu could tell that Shu Liang valued Mengzhou very much, otherwise he would not risk being blamed and speak for Mengzhou.
“This slave is very optimistic about Mengzhou!”
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Then I will demote him to Ding. You can take him with you first."
"Your Majesty, isn't this, isn't this against the national law?" Shu Liang couldn't believe it, that the Emperor actually came back to protect Mengzhou.
Mengzhou is so lucky to be protected by the emperor.
"Mengzhou is going to die, but people will fake death to survive!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered: "Shu Liang, I ask you again, is this Mengzhou trustworthy?"
"I don't dare to vouch for him, but this person is very charlatan in his behavior. I think he can be trusted!"
"Okay, let him fake his death to survive, change his identity, and go to Xuanzang for me!"
Zhu Qiyu has always wanted to know the real situation in Xuanzhen.
But the factory guards have all been abolished, and now that the framework has just been established, the factory guards outside Beijing are not trustworthy enough.
This Mengzhou can be put to use.
The point is that he has no interest in Yu Qian, Zhang Fu and other nobles. He was born in Liaodong.
"My slave, please thank the Emperor for your kindness on behalf of Mengzhou!" Shu Liang kowtowed.
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "It may not be some kind of grace. Maybe it would be more pleasant to die now than to be played to death in Xuanzhen."
"Go and ask him. If he wants to go, I will spare him. After finishing the errand, I will let him return to Dongchang."
"Your Majesty, it is better to die later than to die early. Meng Zhou will definitely be willing to do so." Shu Liang laughed.
"That Zhou Cheng is really a villain. Mengzhou promoted him before, but he actually took revenge on Mengzhou afterwards. He is quite a talent."
Zhu Qiyu sneered.
"This slave wants to kill him. What's the point of keeping such a villain alive?" Shu Liang said.
"He and Mengzhou are naturally at odds with each other. Let's keep him first so that he can suffer more in prison and make him hate Mengzhou."
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Zhu Qiyu's mouth: "If Mengzhou is unreliable, let him out and bite Mengzhou to death. If Mengzhou is really a compassionate and righteous person, then execute him and make Mengzhou happy."
"My slave obeys the order!"
Shu Liang could see that the emperor did not trust Mengzhou and was worried that Mengzhou would rebel.
"That Fan Qing can be used. He has brains, but he is hesitant in doing things. He has no decision-making ability and no ambition. This person is capable and has a good knife. Don't worry about using him as a dog."
Zhu Qiyu reminded Shu Liang: "Kill that Zhang Yongnian. Anyone who associates with businessmen should die!"
"My slave obeys the order!"
Zhu Qiyu encouraged Shu Liang again before sending him away.
Processed some memorials.
Wang Xian, the right deputy imperial envoy to the capital, wrote a memorial.
Presented by the Cabinet.
"In the spring of the year, our government will build two counties in Daxing and Wanping. In addition to Mangshen and Tuniu, every spring there will be an ox, one flower, 72 pearls, one golden foot, weighing 1.3 taels, and one gold medal. , weighing 2 coins; 5 taels of gold-plated gold and silver wire, 12 green leaves, a total of 40 taels of silver..."
Zhu Qiyu was confused by this memorial.
What's all this?
He summoned Yin Zhi and asked Yin Zhi to read it to him.
"The two counties have been hit by disasters year after year, and the people are particularly embarrassed. They are wearing flowers in front of their eyes, and they are not approved by the Ministry of Rites. It is cheap to manage internal affairs..."
Zhu Qiyu seemed to want money!
Daxing and Wanping counties were indeed severely affected by the disaster.
"Your Majesty, this is the imperial censor's request to your Majesty to abolish the bad custom of welcoming the spring!" Yin Zhi understood.
Every year on the day before the beginning of spring, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture leads a crowd to the Spring Field, carries the spring ox and the God of Jumang back to the yamen, and then parades the spring ox through the streets to be whipped, which is called spring beating.
But this cost is borne by the second county.
If there is no money in the county, the people of the two counties have to bear the burden.
Therefore, Wang Xian proposed that before the day of welcoming the spring arrives, the court should abolish the bad customs of welcoming the spring, save waste, and show pity for the people.
Only then did Zhu Qiyu realize what kind of broken memorial this was, I had to guess!
The key point doesn’t even have a punctuation mark, and I can’t even finish the sentence to understand!
The problem is that when Yin Zhi came to read it, I didn’t even understand it. It didn’t even mention the bad customs of welcoming the Spring Festival!
From now on, all these pretentious memorials will be typed back and copied ten thousand times!
When Yin Zhi saw the emperor's expression of displeasure, he lowered his head and did not dare to say a word.
In fact, this memorial was published every year, and the emperor also issued an edict to reprimand it, but it could not be changed every year.
Wang Xian brought up the old story again because he wanted to give His Majesty the opportunity to become Taizu!
"hehe!"
Zhu Qiyu smiled suddenly.
This is Hu Hui's handiwork. He came to embarrass me with difficult problems.
"It is decreed by the governor of Shuntian that we will not welcome the spring this year. If there are people from various places who welcome the spring and increase the burden on the people, they will tie up those who welcome the spring and parade them through the streets. They will be whipped by the people. This is called dog beating!"
Zhu Qiyu curled his lips and sneered, how can this kind of problem defeat me?
"Anyone who is beaten by a dog will be fired and will never be hired!" Zhu Qiyu added another sentence.
Yin Zhi's eyes widened, this, is this possible?
"The cabinet conveys the decree to the world."
"Your Majesty, do you need to polish it?" Yin Zhi felt that these words were too explicit.
"No need, just tell the truth. If anyone can't understand the human language, I will send him to the Palace of Hell to learn nonsense!"
Zhu Qiyu curled his lips and sneered: "Is there any other memorial to the cabinet?"
Hu Hui wants to boil a frog in warm water?
Then I will take this opportunity to criticize the current situation and reform the government!
The war in Xuanzhen has not yet ended. When the war rate is reduced, I will send factory guards and Tiqi to patrol the country. My tentacles are not just limited to the capital.
Chapter 53 has been blocked and needs to be revised. I will see how much is left tomorrow. Those who haven’t read it are in pain!
