In April of the 11th year of Chongzhen, Zhu Cihong's recruitment of talents made good progress.

Many people of insight from all over the world have gone to Zhongdu to display their talents, and of course, more of them want to seek the merit of the dragon.

One day, a madman made a big speech outside the forbidden wall, saying that although the Tianwu Army was strong, the generals of the Tianwu Army had almost no talent.

His words aroused the indignation of the sergeants of the Tianwu Army, and some generals of the Tianwu Army wanted to take him down and punish him, but the identity of this person was the deputy commander-in-chief, which made the generals indignant.

A military general provoked him and wanted to make two moves with him, so as to retaliate against him, but he was sternly rejected by the madman, and for a while, the sound of scolding outside the forbidden wall was endless.

Eventually, Xu Sheng came out of the forbidden wall and brought him to the Imperial City of Fengtian Temple.

The madman was in his forties, emaciated, with a long beard and beard of the traditional literati, and his eyes were somewhat glazed, as if he was often intoxicated with alcohol.

Seeing that the hall was full of generals, the madman had already guessed in his heart that these were the generals of the Tianwu Army, but he was not afraid at all, and saluted Zhu Cihong on the golden throne seriously: "The last general, Mao Yuanyi, the deputy general of Zhangzhou, meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose!" ”

"Xing!" Zhu Cihong nodded.

He has heard the name of Mao Yuanyi, this person has been diligent and studious since childhood, well-read, especially likes to read the works of soldiers and farmers, and when he is an adult, he is familiar with military affairs, has a strategic mind, and can speak and draw hand-drawn on the "nine sides" and dangers along the Great Wall.

Mao Yuanyi became famous in the world during the Apocalypse, when the rise of the Jianzhou Jurchen, he witnessed the abolition of the Ming Dynasty's military equipment, and repeatedly said that he was rich and powerful, and it took fifteen years to write the "Wubei Zhi", and Sun Chengzong, the secretary of the military department at that time, attached great importance to it, and took him with him to supervise Liaodong.

When he was in Liaodong, Mao Yuanyi and Lu Shanji, Yuan Chonghuan, Sun Yuanhua and others inspected the inside and outside of Shanhaiguan, inspected the terrain, studied the enemy's situation, and after many major battles, the Golden Eight Banner Army, recovered ninety into forty-five forts, and was promoted to the deputy chief soldier because of his merits, Mao Yuanyi also went to Jiangnan to raise warships and strengthen the construction of the Liaodong Naval Division, and his contribution to the Ming Dynasty was huge.

However, Mao Yuanyi's career was bumpy, first Sun Chengzong was squeezed out by the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, Mao Yuanyi was implicated and cut down, and then Chongzhen ascended the throne Wei Gelding fell and reinstated, and was soon dismissed by the powerful minister Liang Tingdong (that is, the Xuanda governor who took rhubarb medicine and begged for death with Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the military department, when the Qing soldiers entered the customs in the ninth year of Chongzhen), Mao Yuanyi was involved in the mutiny of the Liaodong soldiers and was sent to Zhangpu, Fujian, which can be described as extremely bitter.

Mao Yuanyi is both civil and military, can fight in armor, can write poems when dismounted, so he is also quite arrogant, and once accepted the famous prostitute Yang Wan and Wang Wei of Qinhuai as concubines. ”

Zhu Cihong has read the "Wubei Zhi" he wrote, and has carefully studied it, the book has a lot of content, and the things involved are very rich, not only from the strategic height of the selection from the Spring and Autumn period to the Yuan Dynasty of each generation with reference value of more than 600 examples, but also recorded the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty of various formations, with more than 300 formations, among which Zhuge Liang's eight formations, Li Jing's six flower arrays, Qi Jiguang's mandarin duck array records the most detailed.

Even the methods of judging astronomical meteorology are clearly recorded in the book, and the "Records of Military Preparation" can be said to be an encyclopedia of military science.

Although he admired his ability to write "Wubei Zhi", Zhu Cihong was very dissatisfied with Mao Yuanyi's arrogance, and during the Chongzhen period, he was originally meritorious because of his "Wubei Zhi", but because of his arrogant attitude, he was exiled by Wang Zaijin and others for the crime of arrogance.

Zhu Cihong looked at Mao Yuanyi and said, "Why do you say that the generals of the Tianwu Army have no great talents? ”

Mao Yuanyi smiled and said: "Huang Degong, the commander of the first division of the Tianwu Army, is brave in battle and tough in fighting, but lacks strategy!" ”

Huang Degong was not stationed in Wuchang, and no one at the scene scolded Mao Yuanyi, he continued: "Sun Yingyuan, the commander of the second royal division of the Tianwu Army, is brave and strategic, and often outwitts him, but he is a little timid and not strong enough in wartime!" ”

Sun Yingyuan, who was standing on the side, saw that the other party was evaluating himself, but his eyelids were raised, and he glanced at Mao Yuanyi, and then he didn't move.

Mao Yuanyi said again: "Zhou Yuji, the commander of the third division of the Tianwu Army, although he has bravery, he is not superior, he is not as brave as Huang Degong, and he is not as good as Sun Yingyuan, but the discipline of his subordinates is as strict as Mount Tai, and the armies are inferior!" ”

Zhou Yuji, who had just come back to report on his work, stood in the hall silent, not even interested in raising his eyelids, and his face was expressionless, as if the other party was not talking about himself.

Mao Yuanyi swept around, wanting to see the reactions of the generals, but found that the parties Sun Yingyuan and Zhou Yuji ignored him at all, and only the other generals of the Tianwu Army looked at him angrily.

Zhu Cihong nodded secretly after hearing this, his analysis was thorough, it seemed that Mao Yuanyi was also very concerned about the Tianwu Army on weekdays.

Zhu Cihong said loudly: "No one is perfect, although the three commanders of the Tianwu Army are not perfect, it is enough to follow the palace to calm the world!" ”

Mao Yuanyi's eyelids jumped, and the crown prince was so courageous! He just likes crazy people like that!

Sun Yingyuan and Zhou Yuji listened, and their bodies that were originally standing up straight straightened again, and their eyes became more resolute.

Zhu Cihong said solemnly: "You commented so much on the three generals of the palace, you should want to attract the attention of the palace, take the opportunity to recommend yourself to the palace, just say it, what are your skills?"

Hearing this, Mao Yuanyi, who was originally dissolute, suddenly became a little uncomfortable, and the taste of being exposed in public was really uncomfortable, how could this crown prince be so young that he looked like a person, and he could see through his thoughts at a glance, it was really ........

Mao Yuanyi left all the lines he had prepared behind, and said bluntly: "The last general really believes that he has the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, and I just ask His Highness to give me the opportunity to display my ambitions!" ”

The generals of the Tianwu Army in the hall all showed disdain when they heard this, and felt that this person was too nonsense, and even Sun Yingyuan and Zhou Yuji frowned, feeling that this person did not know how to restrain.

Mao Yuanyi was unmoved, and continued: "The last general can greatly increase the combat effectiveness of the Tianwu Army, at least by fifty percent!" ”

"Enhance the combat effectiveness of fifty percent! Who are you? ”

"Our Tianwu Army is invincible in the world, and its combat effectiveness is already the strongest, how can it be improved!"

"It's arrogant!"

.......

There were angry voices in the hall for a while, and the spearhead was pointed at Mao Yuanyi, but Mao Yuanyi was motionless, staring closely at Zhu Cihong on the golden throne.

"Silence!"

Gu Wei of the Ministry of Military Justice suddenly shouted, causing the generals in the hall to immediately shut up and stop the noise.

This shout really frightened Mao Yuanyi, and when he saw the serious expressions of the generals, his expression was very exciting, and he was even more curious about the Tianwu Army.

Zhu Cihong pondered for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Hehe, the words have come to this point, if I beat you out like this, you will definitely be unwilling, right?" ”

"Yes!" Mao Yuanyi said without hesitation, if the crown prince drove himself away, then it would mean that this was not a wise lord as rumored, and the strategy of recruiting talents was even more ridiculous, and it was not worth serving at all.

Zhu Cihong nodded and said, "Okay!" In that case, I'll let you try it and go to the Great Church! ”
