A hazy white light flashed, and three figures appeared in front of Zhu Ci Xin.
The first person was a thin old man.
The second was a middle-aged man with a big beard.
The third person was a spirited military general in his prime.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!”
"Your humble servant Zhang Juzheng greets Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!”
"I, Qi Jiguang, pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live!”
The three of them kowtowed to Zhu Ciao at the same time.
"My three beloved ministers, please rise." Zhu Ci Xin hurriedly waved his hand to get them up.
Unlike the three thousand Embroidered Uniform Guards and the four cruel officials, Zhu Ci Xin was filled with respect for the three famous officials of the Ming Dynasty.
These three people had worked their hearts out for Da Ming before their deaths, but their endings were equally miserable!
Zhang Juzheng was the number one chief assistant of the Ming Empire and was determined to reform!
Without him, the Ming Dynasty might have been finished during the Wanli period.
Unfortunately, after Zhang Juzheng died, he was attacked by his former student, Wan Li.
Not only was he stripped of all his honor, but even his eldest son was starved to death in the residence!
Yu Qian's fate was even more miserable!
If he hadn't stepped forward at the critical moment to repel the Wala army, the Great Ming Dynasty would probably have been a short-lived dynasty that lasted less than a hundred years.
However, Yu Qian did not enjoy the honor of a high-ranking official before his death. He was even beheaded by Zhu Qizhen of the Ming Yingzong when he was still the Minister of War, resulting in the first unjust case of the Ming Dynasty!
Compared to the previous two, Qi Jiguang's luck was not bad, at least he had a good ending.
However, due to Zhang Juzheng's involvement, Qi Jiguang, who was in his prime, was transferred to a retirement position.
He could not display his abilities and finally died of depression.
"May I know why Your Majesty summoned us here?”Yu Qian, the oldest of the three, bowed and asked.
When they were summoned by the system, the three of them only knew about each other's background and the order that they had to serve Zhu Ci Xin.
Other than that, he knew nothing.
"Tingyi (Yu Qian), Shuda (Zhang Juzheng), Yuanjing (Qi Jiguang), you guys don't know! Big Ming, it has already reached the moment of life and death…"
Zhu Ci Xin explained the crisis that Da Ming was currently facing and the surrounding situation.
"Thief, how dare you! With this old man here, I won't let them take even half a step into the capital!”
Yu Qian was furious!
Among the three people, he was the oldest, but his temper was the most fiery, and he had the deepest feelings for Da Ming.
After the Tumu Fortress incident, in order to protect the Ming Dynasty, Yu Qian did not care about the safety of Zhuqi Town. He ordered the Ming armed forces guarding the city to bombard the Wala army with cannons.
Although he had successfully driven away the Wala people, he had also buried a fatal disaster for himself.
Now that he heard that after two hundred years, there was still someone who dared to covet the Great Ming Empire, Yu Qian naturally flew into a rage!
"Humph! A mere raider is nothing more than a clay chicken or a pottery dog in my eyes. Your Majesty, give me 3,000 soldiers. I'm willing to be the vanguard and sweep the world for Your Majesty! Give Da Ming a clear sky!"
Qi Jiguang said disdainfully.
As the God of War of the Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang had fought many battles and killed countless enemies.
From killing Japanese pirates in the southeast in his early years, to killing Mengyuan in the north in his middle age, to defending Guangdong in his later years to eliminate pirates; The enemies they faced were all well-trained and vicious.
Now that he heard that the invaders were just a group of raiders, he naturally disdained them.
"Sigh! What a pity! This old man's lifetime of hard work was in vain! If the Imperial Court could continue this old man's strategy, how could the Great Ming Empire be so ruined!”
Zhang Juzheng let out a long sigh!
Through Zhu Ci Xin's description, he already understood that the reason why the situation of Da Ming had fallen to this point was because they had no money to make a fuss.
This was especially true when he learned that the leader of the raiders, Li Zicheng, who was known as the Roaming King, was actually a courier who had been laid off because of the imperial court's efforts to increase income and reduce expenditure. His heart ached even more!
When he was in power, Ming Dynasty had a surplus every year.
He did not expect that he would be so embarrassed now!
"My three beloved ministers. How should we deal with the current situation?”Zhu Ci asked.
Yu Qian and the other two looked at each other and bowed to Zhu Ci Xin in unison."Your Majesty, the five countermeasures you drafted during the day are very appropriate. We believe that there is no need to modify it, we only need to implement it.”
"What suggestions do the three beloved ministers have? How should we implement it?" Zhu Ci asked.
"Your Majesty," Zhang Juzheng stepped forward and said,"I've just had a discussion with Young Guardian Yu and Yuanjing."
Yu Shao Bao was good at defending the city, so he could be in charge of the city defense arrangements.
Yuan Jing was good at leading troops and training soldiers. He might as well leave the training of the soldiers to Yuan Jing.
As for the other trivial matters of coordination and communication, this old minister is not talented, but I am willing to take on a little!”
Hearing Zhang Juzheng's words, Zhu Ci Xin found it very funny.
Zhang Juzheng spoke modestly, as if he was only doing trivial things. But in reality, if this was the case, he would become the actual commander of the capital defense.
Zhang Juzheng was very greedy for power when he was alive.
He did not expect that after being summoned back, it would still be the same.
However, this division of labor was indeed the most suitable for the three of them.
More importantly, as the emperor, could he not even control his three subjects?
"Hahaha! Good! We'll do as Uncle says."
Zhu Ci Nao waved his long sleeves and laughed loudly."Tomorrow morning, I will announce the appointment of the three ministers!”
