On this day, not only did the tens of thousands of elite grain transport soldiers arrive in the capital, but they also arrived in the capital.
150,000 troops from Nanjing, 120,000 troops from Shandong, Henan, and other places also arrived in the capital.
The arrival of hundreds of thousands of soldiers caused the entire capital to rejoice.
These 300,000 troops, in addition to the 120,000 troops from the 12 regiments in the capital.
As a result, nearly four hundred thousand soldiers had gathered around the capital.
In recent days, the imperial family, nobles, and officials of the capital had been worried about the sudden arrival of the Wala army.
Now, they saw hundreds of thousands of soldiers arriving at the capital three days ahead of schedule.
Their worried hearts were finally at ease.
Zhu Qiyu was similarly excited.
He immediately ordered the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War, and the five military governors to reward the hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
Mobilizing and encouraging people before the battle was indispensable.
Now, the national treasury was full, and grain from all over the world was constantly being transported over.
Everything was ready, and they were just waiting to fight to the death with the Wala army.
It was also on this day that Zhu Qiyu heard the system's notification again.
The 400,000-strong army had been assembled. As the saying goes, it was easy to get a thousand troops, but hard to get a general. In the face of an army of hundreds of thousands lacking good generals, you need to appoint 50 generals. Please make the following choices.
Option 1: As the emperor, you need to appease the existing dignitaries and choose a commander who can be of great use to take up an important position. Rewards: Fame 10000, Gold, Pearl, Jade 30000, 100,000 stones of rations.
Option 2, you can issue an imperial edict to order the civil and military officials to elect generals and select them based on merit to hold important positions. Reward: Fame 12000, Warhorses 3,000, 5,000 sets of armor and halberds.
Option 3, you can also decide on your own to recruit generals. Rewards: Fame 20000, personal combat strength 10, increase 200 jars of loyal royal wine. 10 divine weapons.
If he looked at the rewards, the three choices were not bad. They were all what he urgently needed before the battle.
The first problem was that the ability of the descendants of noble families was worrying.
If they were all selected, then they would definitely repeat the mistakes of the Earth Wood Fort.
If the civil and military officials recommended, the good and bad would be mixed together. Moreover, it was very easy to form a new faction.
This was because the people who were elected were not grateful to him, Zhu Qiyu, but to the people who elected them.
Therefore, this was immediately denied by Zhu Qiyu.
The third option was for him to decide on his own and recruit generals. This was not bad.
Zhu Qiyu thought for a moment and finally chose the third option.
However, he didn't have anyone in mind to choose.
Just as he was hesitating, he heard the young eunuch Wang Cheng report that the Minister of War, Yu Qian, had arrived.
Thinking of this, he immediately came up with a plan.
How could he have forgotten about the unyielding Yu Shao Bao?
I can get him to recommend a few people first.
With his personality, he would never mix in personal feelings, much less interact with these generals in private.
After Yu Qian bowed, he said,"Your Majesty, it's all thanks to the wealth you allocated that hundreds of thousands of troops can be at ease." At this moment, their morale was high and they could fight at any time.”
"The only thing that gives me a headache is the lack of a commander.”
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud and say,""Yu Qing, what you are worried about is also what Zhen was worried about just now. It seems that we are thinking of the same thing.”
"Didn't you console these hundreds of thousands of soldiers today? Have you found any good candidates?"
When Yu Qian heard this, he finally revealed a smile.
He had come today to recommend a few candidates.
"Your Majesty, this subject has indeed discovered a few talents that can be used.”
"Fan Guang, the general of the grain transport army. Although I have only met him twice, I know that he is a general that has been buried.”
"Chen Kui, the general of the Henan Guard Army. Although he looks weak and doesn't have the courage of a general, he has the talent of a commander.”
"The other person is Tang Jie, the descendant of Tang He, the Duke of Xin Country. This person has the style of his ancestors. With some training, he will become a commander.”
Yu Qian successively recommended more than ten people.
If it were any other emperor, they would definitely be very wary of these candidates recommended by Yu Qian.
It had to be said that the capital's defenses and the military power of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers were all in Yu Qian's hands.
If he had any disloyalty, then the consequences could be imagined.
If it was a shrewd person, he would definitely not dare to recommend so many people at once.
However, Zhu Qiyu knew that the reason why Yu Qian spoke with confidence and elected so many people was because he was magnanimous and had no selfishness.
This was the honest Yu Qian. His every word and action was for the sake of the country, and he had never considered whether it would cause the emperor to be afraid.
"Alright, thank you for your hard work."
Zhu Qiyu was overjoyed and walked down the steps.
"I didn't expect that my Great Ming would bury so many generals. Zhen is very gratified. But it is not enough. I want at least fifty.”
Yu Qian was slightly stunned and then said.
"Your Majesty is right. In fact, there are still some people with outstanding abilities among the dignitaries. These people can also take on heavy responsibilities.”
Civil officials had always been very disgusted with meritorious officials. The objective words that Yu Qian could say could be seen that he was really thinking for the Ming Dynasty.
"Oh?"
Zhu Qiyu did not expect Yu Qian to mention Xun Gui."Who can I use?"
"The Duke of England, Zhang Fu, died in battle for the country, but his eldest son, Zhang Mao, was extremely skilled in martial arts and brave. When he was serving in the Five Armies Governor's Office, he ate and slept with ordinary soldiers, earning the respect of the soldiers.”
Yu Qian told him everything he knew.
"It is said that the British public education is strict. I didn't expect it to be true.”Zhu Qiyu sighed.
"Other than that, there is also the loyal Marquis Song Bin. He looks like a learned scholar, but he has a myriad of strategies in his heart. The soldiers who have trained him all respect him. Because of Wang Zhen's framing last year, he was now idle at home.”
Yu Qian recommended another noble.
"Alright, alright. I will order these people to be invited. I want to assess them one by one.”
Zhu Qiyu could not wait to gather these generals.
"Your Majesty is wise." Yu Qian was slightly moved.
He did not expect the Emperor to have such trust in him. On the contrary, none of the people he had recommended had refuted him.
One had to know that among the people he recommended, there were ordinary generals with low positions and officials who were idle at home.
However, this new Emperor didn't care at all.
The selection and appointment of talents do not depend on their origin.
The new emperor's breadth of mind and bearing really had the demeanor of a Saint Monarch.
Thinking of this, the iron-willed Yu Shaobao felt a sense of pride as if he would die for his friend.
