Chapter 148 Entering Beijing

"The Yulin Army Recruitment Office?" A tall old man gently read out the words on the long banner fluttering in the wind next to him, and looked at the long line here with a puzzled expression. He carefully observed, and most of the people in line here were young people, some were powerful, some were fierce, some were stunned, and some were tricky and slippery, and their eyes were rolling around.

"Looks like it's a conscription here?" The old man took a closer look and found that the criteria for selecting people here were very strange, some of them looked strong and capable of fighting, they didn't want them at all, they especially wanted those honest and honest, calm and reliable young people.

"Qi Jiguang's method of military selection?" The old man was a little stunned, he seemed to remember something, and his face was relieved. After relieving his doubts, he continued to walk on. Along the way, he found that there were many such recruiting sites in the city, but there were many people who applied for it, but few could get through.

With the vacation of the soldiers of the Yulin Army, their good treatment spread among the mouths of the people at the bottom of the capital in an instant, and the rich military salary and glorious status all made the people of the capital yearn for it. This is the person who guards the emperor's side, and for the people at the bottom, this is an opportunity to ascend to the sky.

Therefore, when the sign of the Yulin Army conscription was erected, the applicants gathered, but there were few who could pass, as always, the screening conditions of the Yulin Army were very strict. In this conscription, Zhu Youzhuan collected 6,000 people, and even the previous one, gathered 10,000 people. With a base of 10,000 people, many of his systems can be built.

"Master, do you want to go to the palace first or go to the Huitong Pavilion to stay first." The old servant next to him asked.

"Let's go to the Huitong Pavilion first, the dust is in the dust, and there is a loss of etiquette." The old man groaned and said.

The old man is Xu Guangqi, who was recruited, he trained in Tongzhou, which is very close to Beijing, so he rushed over as soon as he received the order.

Huitong Hall was the headquarters of the Ming Dynasty post station, in addition to the post delivery duties of the country, it was also responsible for the reception business, whether it was a foreign tributary envoy, or an official who was ordered to enter Beijing, you can settle down here. Xu Guangqi and the others moved in with the holy decree in hand, and after washing and changing clothes, he hurried into Beijing.

At the same time, the herald bound for Tianjin had just arrived at the salt pans. After learning that the emperor had summoned him, he couldn't help but laugh and patted his head, "Glory and wealth have been since then." ”

At this time, it has been more than ten days since the Red Pill coup, and such an earth-shattering change has long been spread all over the world with the people entering and leaving the capital, and the Tiqi of Jinyiwei has long been sent to the south to arrest the rebels who participated in the coup.

Wang Wenyan was in Tianjin, so he naturally received the news about the coup d'état in the capital early, although he and many people did not know the inside story, but it was obvious that His Royal Highness, now the emperor, had already prepared for this, otherwise he would not have conspired to transfer the soldiers who had been hiding in the salt field to the palace.

Under all kinds of measures, Zhu Youxiao won, and all the people who followed him will naturally rise, including Wang Wenyan, it is obvious that sooner or later, the emperor will summon him to Beijing, which can be seen from the emperor ordering him to supervise the construction of the Taixi ship when he leaves.

Therefore, Wang Wenyan has no doubts about returning to the capital again. It's just that he himself is unwilling. Wang Wenyan is very capable, and capable people naturally have greater ambitions, otherwise he would not have accepted Yu Yuli's invitation to enter Beijing in the first place.

By chance, he seized the opportunity to climb Zhu Youxiao, who was still the grandson at the time, he thought that he could show his talents, but he didn't expect to look at the salt works and ports in such a remote sea as Tianjin, and it was five years at a glance. When he was appointed by Zhu Youxiao to supervise the construction of the big ship, he thought that he was both excited and frightened.

Excited because this is a sign of being cited by Zhu Youxiao as a confidant, once His Highness's plan is successful, he will naturally follow the soaring, and the fear is because once he fails, he will also be unlucky.

Zhu Youxiao's plan, Wang Wenyan didn't know, this lord has always only regarded him as a very capable executor, and has never asked him to carry out orders, without asking him for any opinions and suggestions, and everything is planned and arranged by himself. Faced with this situation, Wang Wenyan was not in a hurry, but did it patiently.

He knows that this situation is only temporary, the plate is small at present, His Royal Highness can cope with it, and when he ascends the throne, in the face of the complicated government affairs, he naturally needs to make his own ideas≡ he just needs to be patient.

This kind of waiting, he thought it would be a long time at first, but he didn't expect that after His Royal Highness began to make strange transfers and arrangements, he would ascend the throne as the emperor and reign over the world a month later.

After he learned that Zhu Youxiao had completed the matter, he sent people to Beijing every day to inquire about the next time, and even sent people to the Tiangong workshop to ask Luo Yangxing, who was guarding there. After learning about the big news, especially the innovative words that Zhu Youxiao said when he ascended the throne, an idea popped up in his mind in vain.

After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was very feasible, and he suddenly became excited, this will definitely be used as his own step into the body! Full of joy, he has been enduring hardship, and finally waited for this edict announcing his entry into Beijing.

However, Wang Wenyan is not a reckless person, he naturally knows what the emperor is most concerned about, as soon as he received the order, he ordered people to sort out and pack the technical data of the salt field construction and production, ports, shipyards, road repairs, and other aspects over the years, and bring the relevant craftsmen into Beijing together.

As for the port construction, the production of the salt mill and the operation of the shipyard of the construction team here, they were naturally entrusted to Liu Bin, Ding Mian, and Luo Qing respectively. He himself entered Beijing with a long line of carriages and headed straight for the palace.

At this time, the Forbidden City was a busy scene, and groups of eunuchs, escorted by the Yulin Army, boarded the carriage and sent them to the Tiangong workshop in the western suburbs of the capital, where they would soon devote themselves to the expansion of the workshop.

With the gradual emptying of the eunuchs, drastic changes are taking place in the entire inner court, countless departments have been abolished, or merged or abandoned, in the harem, the political component has gradually decreased, and the life component has gradually increased, and the entire Forbidden City has developed in the direction of living and living in accordance with Zhu Youxiao's opinion.

It is foreseeable that in the future, such a busy scene in the palace will last for a long time, after the eunuchs move away, there will be a large number of palace maids to be released, and there will be hospitals to be relocated after the palace maids are gone, and after this is cleaned up, Zhu Youxiao will also re-examine and repair the entire Forbidden City, although the Red Pill coup is only one night, but the damage caused is very great.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction, the chaos in the palace gradually subsided, after this big investigation, many hidden dangers and dangerous items were swept away, which made him feel a lot more relieved, the second is a man, he still cherishes life very much.

Thinking of this, he thought of the lightning that made him pass through, it was because of this lightning that he was able to come to this era, to have a strong talent for martial arts, and to practice a set of kung fu similar to Chinese arts. It's just that since the crossing has happened, there should be some other things, which should be normal.

"Saint, Shao Zhan Shi and Henan Provincial Imperial History Xu Guangqi sent an edict to meet you." Liu Ruoyu came over and whispered, interrupting his reverie.

"Coming so soon?" Zhu Youxiao was a little surprised, and at the same time a little excited, "Go, grasp the machine developed with the master yesterday and move it over." ”

"Yes, Holy." Liu Ruoyu nodded and went down to deliver the message.

Standing in front of the palace gate, Xu Guangqi looked quietly, the traces on the palace wall, the ground and the building shocked him, he thought that the so-called coup d'état was just a farce made by some eunuchs and generals, but from the current blood stains of these swords and soldiers that cannot be concealed, the folk rumors have not been exaggerated, and even somewhat reduced.

For Zhu Youxiao, Xu Guangqi has been a little heard of one after another, because this master was too jumpy when he was a teenager, when he was five years old, he said that he wanted to be a saint, and then said that Emperor Wanli invited him to invite two famous generals to be a teacher, and then he actually used the case as a breakthrough to obtain a part of the military power, and trained 800 soldiers, and then opened a salt factory in Tianjin, selling illegal salt, and its scale was so large that it even monopolized the market of the entire Beijing division.

Very early, Xu Guangqi began to pay attention to Zhu Youxiao, no way, the distance between the two is too close, since the thirty-eighth year of Wanli, he has been wandering around Beijing, he has always heard about Zhu Youxiao, and even personally went to Tianjin Salt Farm to inspect, just because the salt field is heavily guarded, he can't enter.

In his heart, he has always had a strong interest and curiosity in Zhu Youxiao, he doesn't understand, what does this young man who has become the emperor want to do, he can toss so much, and even in the bottom of his heart, he still has some faint expectations, and it is precisely because of this that after he received the order summoned by the emperor, he immediately got up and came without delay.

When he arrived in Beijing, the mournful atmosphere in the city and the many conscription stations made him realize that the new emperor had quickly adapted to his new identity and began to exercise his rights. At the same time, some edicts and orders that were wantonly circulated and widely varied made his eyes shine, such as the ban on eunuchs, such as the words of innovation.

"This is a very motivated young man who wants to do things." Such an impression slowly took shape in Xu Guangqi's heart. It's just that I don't know why I was summoned this time, just as Xu Guangqi was secretly guessing about his reverie, a eunuch in Tsing Yi came.

"Lord Xu, summoned by the Holy Lord." The eunuch in Tsing Yi came to him and said with a smile. Seeing the other party like this, Xu Guangqi, who was an old official, instantly relaxed in his heart, and it seemed that this recall was not a bad thing.
