Today's sixth update, evaluation votes!
qianqing Palace
Early morning, March 15th, 17th year of Chongzhen.
There were still three and a half days before Li Zicheng entered the capital.
After a nap, Zhu Cixuan was revived.
Under the protection of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, he drove around.
The entire capital had been tidied up in an orderly manner.
Pa!
Pa!
Pa!
Three whips sounded, and the morning court session on the fifteenth day of the third month of Chongzhen officially began!
Compared to usual, the number of officials participating in the morning court session was much fewer.
A group of ministers came to Taihe Palace.
"Long live our emperor!"
After the cheers, the group of officials suddenly noticed two unfamiliar faces in Taihe Palace.
Before they could react, a eunuch had already taken out an imperial edict and started reading it.
" The Emperor has decreed that Qi Jiguang is now the Commander-in-Chief of the Central Army of the Five Armies 'Commander-in-Chief. He is also the General of the Yulin Army, commanding 80,000 Yulin Army troops and is in charge of the training of the soldiers.
"Yu Qian will be the chief assistant of the cabinet and will be in charge of the capital's defense. Respect this!"
All the ministers were stunned when they heard the sudden appointment.
Isn't His Majesty's appointment too hasty?
The position of chief assistant was handed over to a nameless person just like that?？
(Qi Jiguang and Yu Qian were both famous figures in the history of Earth Star's Ming Dynasty, but this was a virtual world. There were these two people, but the names of the characters were different.)）
"What? Do you have any objections?"
Zhu Cixuan, who was high and mighty, took in the expressions of the officials at a glance.
"Your Majesty, it's not that we're dissatisfied, but we really don't know much about these two. Can they really take on this important task?”
Li Banghua stood up and voiced out the questions in the ministers 'hearts.
The position of chief assistant was also in charge of Jingdou's defense. If such an important task fell into the hands of an incompetent person, the capital would be in danger!
If they weren't careful, the entire Great Ming Dynasty might be buried in their hands.
That was why these old ministers had such a big reaction.
"It's not up to you to question who I choose as my chief!”
"Remember, I am the ruler, and you are the subjects. Don't come and teach me how to do things!"
"Considering that your words are also the words of an old man who plans for the country, Zhen will spare you this time! Slap yourself!"
Before the smell of blood in Taihe Palace had dispersed, someone had already stood out to question his decision.
This was simply audacious!
Naturally, Zhu Cixuan wanted these officials to learn from their mistakes.
"I deserve to die. I shouldn't have said anything!”
"Pa, pa, pa!"
Li Banghua started slapping his face.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, in addition to the original one million residents of the capital, five hundred thousand residents from nearby areas have moved into the capital. This lowly subject estimates that there are still five hundred thousand residents to move into the capital. Yesterday, 60,000 new recruits had been recruited and were being trained by Lord Qi! These 60,000 people were all young and strong. Some of them had been local soldiers, and some were hired thugs and guards of the great clans. These people all had a certain level of combat strength! In addition to the original garrison in the city, there were already 100,000 soldiers!”
"These 1,500,000 people make up 298,000 households. Each household will send a young man to defend the city. We have already trained nearly 300,000 strong men, and I am directly in charge of them. If the remaining five hundred thousand move into the capital, this lowly subject can transfer another one hundred thousand men to defend the city!”
"The boulders, rolling oil, and logs in the city are already being moved to the city walls…The capital's nine gates have already been stocked with sufficient resources to defend the city!”
"If the bandits invade, I am confident that this group of recruits and able-bodied men will be able to stop them!”
"This time, we spent a total of 1,620,000 taels of silver to transfer able-bodied men and recruit new soldiers…"
As the chief assistant of the cabinet, Yu Qian was naturally the first to report.
"Yes!"
Zhu Cixuan nodded lightly.
This result was within his expectations.
If she couldn't even do this well, Yu Qian wouldn't be worth 200,000 points!
Zhu Cixuan's expression was calm, but the ministers below the stage were dumbfounded!
They had no idea when all of this was done!
"This…Where did the emperor find such a capable person?”
"I'm convinced that this person will be the chief assistant!”
……
To draw 300,000 able-bodied men and 60,000 new recruits, he only spent 1.6 million. On average, each person only needed five taels of silver!
This was also the reason why Zhu Cixuan had not used the suicide soldier system to recruit suicide soldiers.
A refugee warrior of sacrifice required 50 taels of silver! Moreover, before he changed his profession, his combat strength was not much stronger than the local youths.
Even though Zhu Cixuan had some points left after the raid, he couldn't stand the system's oppression.
If he had more than a hundred million points, wouldn't it be even better if he killed a million lions and pushed them all the way?
It was all because he was poor!
In the current situation, 100,000 men of sacrifice were enough.
Moreover, wouldn't it be a pity if he didn't make use of so many young men in the capital?
Right now, the capital was short of soldiers.
With these 300,000 strong men, he could easily arrange the city defense, public security, repair the city walls, and other matters.
When the other hundred thousand men were formed, the capital's defensive strength would be even stronger.
"Ting Yi is much better than all of you! Now, do you still have any doubts?”
Zhu Cihuo swept his gaze across the officials in the hall, showing his authority without being angry.
"We are convinced! The chief assistant is worthy of his name…"
"Your Majesty, you have a discerning eye. We admire you!”
……
"Your Majesty, you flatter me!"
Although Yu Qian was humble, he was already overjoyed in his heart.
The men of sacrifice who were specially recruited had their own emotions. They were naturally happy to receive praise from their master.
It was as if it was a supreme honor to receive the praise of a mighty lord like Zhu Cixuan!
