Everyone sat down.
Zhu Changluo sat at the head of the table, while Qi Jin and the other generals of the Qi Family Army sat on the left.
The other hereditary guards were led by Xu Xin, who sat on the right.
Xu Xin was from the same family as the founding father of the Ming Dynasty, the Xu family. Xu Xin's great-grandfather was once Xu Da's nephew. He followed Xu Da to the Northern Expedition and established the Guard Office. After that, he took up the position of Thousand Households in Ji Prefecture.
Xu Xin's clan was a centurion that had existed for more than two hundred years.
In addition, he was the main family of the noble Xu family and was the person with the highest status among the thousand households present.
Zhu Changluo glanced at the people on both sides and suppressed the excitement in his chest. He said solemnly,""Ever since I took office, I have gathered everyone for only one thing, and that is to raise troops.”
"According to the rules of the Imperial Court, the Ji Prefecture Guards have to bear the Qi Family's Army and a portion of the food and pay for the ten thousand barracks that I am about to set up.”
"But according to what I know, it is extremely difficult for the Ji Prefecture Guards to even support the Qi Family's Army, let alone support my new training.”
Pa!
At this moment, Zhu Changluo slammed his hand on the table beside him. He stood up and said angrily,""It's not that the Wei Office lacks food, but that some of you are insatiable!”
"You even dare to touch the money and grain of the Imperial Court!”
"I don't care what your background is! Whoever becomes the official who nurtures soldiers for the imperial court is my enemy!”
"Therefore, after this official takes office, I will conduct a re-measurement and inspection of the land of the Ji Prefecture Guard!”
"Thousand Households Xu!"
Xu Xin, who had been scared silly by Zhu Changluo's thunderous anger and was thinking about how much damage this matter had done to his interests, was suddenly called. He hurriedly stood up and took the teacup on the table to the ground.
Tea and tea leaves splattered on the ground.
Xu Xin quickly apologized,"Your Excellency, I was too rash. Please punish me."”
"It's fine." Zhu Changluo waved his hand magnanimously and asked,""Thousand Households Xu is an old member of the Ji Prefecture Guard, so he should be very clear about the ownership of the land, right?”
"To re-measure and clarify the ownership of the land requires an experienced and prudent old man who is familiar with the Ji Prefecture Guards. I'll leave this matter to you.”
What?
" Ah!" Xu Xin exclaimed in shock, and then he was overjoyed.
Right, right! The commander's scheme was finally revealed. It was fake that he was investigating the fields, but the real reason was to attack the Qi Family's Army!
Otherwise, why would he use me, Xu Xin?
Who didn't know that the hereditary officials of the Guard Office occupied more land than outsiders like the Qi Family's Army?
It must have been instructed by the Imperial Court!
Thinking of this, the big-bellied Xu Xin suddenly stood up straight, as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and loudly accepted the order,"This humble servant will definitely not disappoint Your Excellency!"”
"Zhu, you ingrate!"
"Commander, you should say something. That Zhu guy is clearly trying to make an example out of us!”
……
"Impudent!" Qi Jin roared furiously, his tiger eyes glaring as he stood up and swept his gaze across his subordinates.
The noisy and angry voices instantly disappeared.
Qi Jin then turned to look at Zhu Changluo."Commander Zhu, the Qi Family's Army isn't something that just anyone can mess with. If Commander Zhu has the intention of retaliating against the Qi Family's Army, the knives in the hands of the Qi Family's Army are not to be trifled with! Commander, please consider carefully what you should do.”
Then, Qi Jin flung his sleeves and left with a dark face.
"Brat, you haven't even grown your hair yet. Try moving!”
"The knife in my hand is not to be trifled with!”
……
The general of the Qi Family's Army left with his head held high, cursing and swearing.
Xu Xin and the others secretly looked at Zhu Changluo. Seeing that Zhu Changluo's face was slightly dark, they could not help but worry that the Commander would be frightened by the Qi Family's Army.
But they had no way to help Zhu Ke.
If they did, they would not have been tortured by the Qi Family's Army for more than ten years.
"Report! Report! Commander, the Ye He tribe outside Taiping Stronghold requests to submit to our Ming Dynasty. More than ten thousand elite cavalry are willing to be dispatched by the commander who defeated the Tartars!”At this moment, a travel-worn soldier rushed in from outside.
Success!
When Zhu Changluo heard that Ye He's troops were heading south, he shouted excitedly in his heart," Success!" He couldn't help but smile.
He did not expect that he would succeed.
While Xu Xin and the others were still in a daze, Zhu Changluo had already rushed out.
He was busy returning to Peace Stronghold.
On the way, he was stopped by Qi Jin.
Qi Jin also heard about this news.
The shock on Qi Jin's face was still there. He looked at Zhu Changluo with a bitter smile."Honorable nephew, don't tell me that you were the one who planned for Ye He tribe to submit?”
"There's something I didn't want to tell you, but I have to tell you now. It's about your new wife. Do you know who she is?”
"Senior, is there something wrong with Taiji's niece?" Zhu Changluo asked in puzzlement.”
"She also has the proverb that she can make the world prosper and destroy the world. Do you know how much trouble it will bring you if these words spread to the court?”
"Let's not talk about this. How are you going to deal with the ten thousand elite cavalry of the Ye He Tribe? You don't think that the Imperial Court will hand over these ten thousand elite cavalry to you, do you?”
Only then did Zhu Changluo remember that Brother Dong had told him that he could bring prosperity to the world and destroy it.
It was just that his attention was all on Brother Dong at that time, and he had modern thinking. He instinctively smiled at such superstitious things.
However, he had forgotten that the people of this era would not just laugh it off!
In an instant, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
Would the Imperial Court allow him to control the ten thousand elite cavalry of the Ye He Tribe just as Qi Jin had said?
Zhu Changluo pondered.
When Qi Jin saw that Zhu Ke had not considered these things, he could not help but smile bitterly.
Actually, he was also shocked by Zhu Ke's generosity.
Ye He's ten thousand elite cavalry!
Such a force had actually approached the young nephew in front of him. He was just one step away from grasping it.
Zhu Changluo's eyes lit up and he smiled.""Senior, I think I have an idea, and it's a way to kill three birds with one stone!”
"The possibility of success is very high. At the very least, the Imperial Court will temporarily hand over the ten thousand cavalry to me. At the same time, we can also accomplish the great task we want to do even faster!”
"Push the local conflicts of interest that we have shown to the center and use the power of the center to achieve our goal!”
"I've made some people suffer in silence again!”
