"You don't have to kowtow. If there's anything, go and talk to Lu Qing.”
When Lu Xuan heard the Emperor's words, he made a gesture to the Brocade Guard beside him.
A few Brocade Guards stepped forward and carried the three of them down the hall.
"These three ministers have really disappointed Zhen. Qian Qing, you are the minister of military affairs and the chief assistant of the cabinet. You will preside over the next court meeting.
Later, go to the Profound Language Pavilion to see me. I want all the ministers to buy 30 million taels of bonds.”
With that, Zhu Youjian left the throne and returned to the Profound Language Pavilion with a smile.
At noon, Qian Qianyi looked exhausted, but he still came to look for Zhu Youjian with a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, the thirty million taels of silver have already been obtained.”
After saying that, he took out a stack of banknotes and a memorial.
The memorial recorded the names of the officials and the number of bonds purchased.
Everyone signed their names and pressed their red handprints on it.
"Alright! Qian Qing is indeed a pillar of the country!"
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Youjian sneered in his heart. This was the purpose of making Qian Qianyi the Minister of Military Affairs. Other people would not be able to get so much money.
After Qian Qianyi left, Zhu Youjian issued an order to the system.
"Zhen is preparing for the third summoning.”
Zhu Youjian felt that the characters he summoned these two times had changed him drastically.
He believed that this time, he would still summon a very powerful figure to help him.
But who should he summon? Civil officials or generals?
After thinking for a long time, Zhu Youjian issued an order to the system.
"System, I want to choose a talent. I want someone who can both defend the city and understand politics.”
Host, please choose according to your own needs. The system will not make any recommendations.
Zhu Youjian didn't mind being rejected by the cold system. In fact, he already had someone in mind. He just wanted to explore the system's functions.
"Since you want me to choose, fine! I choose Yu Qian."
In his previous life, when Zhu Youjian traveled to West Lake, the first place he visited was the tombs of Yue Fei, Yu Qian, and Zhang Huangyan.
He liked Yu Qian's " Lime Song " very much. For a period of time, he even used this poem as his personal signature.
Ming Dynasty Shao Bao, Ministry of War Minister Yu Qian, super first-class civil minister, worship silver two 10 million.
Because he is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, the silver offered will be halved. Will you summon him?
"Summon!"
In an instant, Zhu Youjian had a lot less silver notes in his hands. However, he didn't feel bad at all. Another idol was about to appear!
The system's voice appeared in Zhu Youjian's mind again.
Yu Qian, now Yu Bao, was the commander of the Tongzhou Guard of Beiping. He was Sun Chengzong's old subordinate and was currently outside the door asking for an audience.
As they were talking, Wang Chengen shouted from outside the door.
"Your Majesty, the commander of the Tongzhou Guard of Beiping has an urgent military matter to ask for an audience.”
"Quickly announce it!"
As he spoke, Yu Bao, who was also Yu Qian, walked in.
Zhu Youjian took a look. This Yu Baosheng had thick eyebrows and big eyes. His mouth was wide and square. He really had the aura of " not afraid of being smashed into pieces."
"You are Yu Bao?" Zhu Youjian asked.
"That's right."
"What military matters do you have?"
"Your Majesty, please take a look at the military report from the Tongzhou Province Guard.”
Zhu Youjian opened the letter. It said that a small number of Eight Banners Soldiers had bypassed Shanhaiguan and were about to attack Tongzhou.
The hundreds of thousands of people in Tong Province, old and young, were about to enter the capital to take refuge.
"Are there really soldiers from the Eight Banners?" Zhu Youjian asked Xiang Bao.
"There are a few, about two hundred people."
"How is the defense of Tongzhou City? Could it be that there were no more guards?
Jian Nu had a few hundred cavalrymen, which was not much more than scouts. This made tens of thousands of people afraid and migrate?”
"Your Majesty, there are only a few hundred soldiers and a thousand local soldiers left in Tong Province. With the help of the city defense, it will not be a problem to defend Tong Province.
However, the people are afraid and are moving. I hope the capital can make arrangements for them.”
Zhu Youjian closed his eyes as if he was talking to himself."More than 100,000 people have entered Beijing. What about the food?
All of a sudden, there were more than 100,000 mouths.”
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Tongzhou leads directly to the canal. There are more than 200,000 catties of military rations in the grain warehouse that needs to be transported to Shanhaiguan.
I've ordered all the refugees to bring it with them to the capital.”
Hearing Yu Bao say this, Zhu Youjian secretly praised the ingenuity in his heart, but
"Lieutenant Yu! How dare you! You actually dare to divide the military rations!" Zhu Youjian deliberately raised his voice and pretended to berate loudly.
It was unknown if Yu Bao was prepared or if he felt that this matter was nothing, but he said calmly.
"Your Majesty, if Slave Jian gets these rations or burns them, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Moreover, if those refugees did not have any food, they would definitely have the intention to snatch it. Now that they had food, the refugees were at ease.
The people of the capital will be at ease."
Zhu Youjian looked at Yu Bao and was already extremely happy in his heart. However, on the surface, he could still maintain a serious expression.
"Alright, we'll handle this matter according to your method. We can talk about the military rations later. The bandits have retreated. What do you think?”
"Your Majesty, Xuanda will definitely be attacked by the Mongol and Qing armies.”
Zhu Youjian had already thought of this. At this moment, the top of the nine border towns, Xuanzhou and Datong, were already very empty.
"Minister Yu, do you have any good ideas?”
"Your Majesty, we have to take back Xuanzhou and Datong as soon as possible. Mobilize all the battalions in the capital and gather firearms and weapons to guard the two places to ensure that there is no danger inside the pass.
In addition, the Qing cavalry that appeared in Tongzhou is likely to divert our attention.
He could mobilize 1000 Guanning Iron Cavalry to follow Tongzhou and stop the Qing army from attacking.”
After listening to Yu Bao's analysis, Zhu Youjian smiled.
"Good! To love you, you are really the pillar of the country! Come to the court meeting tomorrow. I want to put you in an important position.”
When Yu Bao heard this, he quickly knelt down." Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely be loyal to the country until I die!"”
"Yu Qing's loyalty is really clear!”
After he finished speaking, Zhu Youjian's thoughts turned to the system.
"System, can I summon Zhou Yuji?”
The host can summon Zhou Yuji, the commander of Shanxi. Zhou Yuji is a second-rate general. He is offered 3 million taels of silver. As he is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, the silver offered will be halved. Do you want to summon him?
"No! System, didn't you say that the tribute for a second-rate general should be two million taels of silver? How did it become 3 million?"
[Reminder: 2 million is the starting price for a second-rate general. There will also be some outstanding characters among the second-rate generals. The system will adjust the price according to these outstanding characters.]
"Alright, then let's invite Zhou Yuji out.”
Zhou Yuji is now the Marquis of Yu under Yu Bao's account. His name is Zhou Yuxiang, and he is the brother of Zhou Yuji.
After listening to the system's introduction, Zhu Youjian turned to Yu Bao.
"Yu Qing, how about this, zhen will find you another capable helper.”
