Chapter 42: The Generalissimo's Mansion

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youzhen sat after the imperial case.

"Lu Xiangsheng listens to the order."

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

And Gao Qiqian, who was waiting on the side, quickly lay on the ground when he heard the words, laid out the rice paper, and picked up a pen to record the emperor's holy decree.

"I only rule the world with literature, chaos with martial arts, both civil and military, rare in the world, now I hear the famous prefect Lu Xiangsheng, Wen can rule the world, martial arts are also excellent, loyal to the country, deeply won the will of the generalissimo, promoted to the generalissimo of the Governor of the Governor's Mansion, specializing in military training."

In the Qianqing Palace, the needle drop can be heard.

Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Qiqian, two people who would have become enemies in history, at this time, one knelt on the ground to obey orders, and the other wrote an edict for his appointment.

The foreign ministers use their lives, and the inner ministers do things, and the scene is really a bit weird.

Zhu Youzhen watched this scene with his eyes, and the tragedy of the battle of the giant deer in history filled his mind.

In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the Qing army entered the customs, and Lu Xiangsheng pursued the Qing army to Julu Jiazhuang, Hebei, but was surrounded by it.

Lu Xiangsheng immediately fought against the giant deer, and sent troops to ask for help from the Gaoqi submarine within fifty miles.

However, Gao Qiqian refused in the name of unclear enemy situation and no wild wave fighting.

Lu Xiangsheng had no choice but to fight to the death, and finally died a heroic martyrdom with four arrows and three blades.

At that time, the Qing army besieging Lu Xiangsheng was only more than 7,000 people, while the Gao Qi submarine army had 30,000 troops.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid is ready, please take a look at it."

Gao Qiqian's voice pulled Zhu Youzhen's thoughts back to reality.

After receiving the edict drafted by Gao Qiqian, Zhu Youzhen watched it sentence by sentence, and said in a moment.

"Good, use the post-print to send the political secretary, and you can file it."

After sending away Gao Qidive, Zhu Youzhen helped Lu Xiangsheng up, and saw that he had a puzzled face.

"Lu Aiqing seems to be wrong?"

Zhu Youzhen sat back on the throne, and after taking a sip of the dragon well before the rain, a smile gently floated on the corner of his mouth.

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is ignorant, and dare to ask Your Majesty, where is this Generalissimo's Mansion? Before Weichen left Beijing, he did not hear about this yamen. ”

"The Generalissimo's Mansion is not the Yamen of the previous dynasty, this is a new one I set up today."

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he immediately chuckled in his heart, but after sniffing his heart, he asked again.

"Weichen is brave and dares to ask Your Majesty, what is the grade of this Generalissimo's Mansion, and how many officials are there, what are they?"

"The Generalissimo's Mansion has no rank and no quality, if the secretary has to compare his status, his position is equal to or even higher than the cabinet."

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he was directly stunned.

In addition to the cabinet, there is also the Generalissimo's Palace?

But Zhu Youzhen ignored Lu Xiangsheng's gaffe, and then released more explosive news.

"Today, there is still a governor in the Generalissimo's Mansion, and the official residence is of four grades, and other officials are still being searched."

Lu Xiangsheng heard this and almost exploded on the spot.

I feel that I am the first and only official of the Generalissimo's Mansion.

Lu Xiangsheng suddenly wanted to cry, and wanted to go back to the prefect of the daimyo gan, although the prefect is a five-grade mansion, but there are more than 800,000 people in seven counties who can manage.

is the commander of the light pole of the fourth product, he is still the commander of the light pole.

Lu Xiangsheng wanted to cry a little without tears, cleaned up his mood, and asked another question.

"Your Majesty's intention to set up the Generalissimo's Palace?"

Lu Xiangsheng was so excited that he simply forgot about the honorific title.

Fortunately, Zhu Youzhen doesn't care about these etiquette.

"Train a new army, restore the prestige of our Ming Dynasty, expand the territory, and reshape the global pattern."

Zhu Youzhen said the duties and missions of the Generalissimo's Mansion in high spirits.

If in Zhu Youzhen's previous life, this sentence would be engraved on the welcome stone at the main entrance of the company, which is called company culture.

But such chicken soup did not impress Lu Xiangsheng, who was already cold-hearted.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, who is the supreme governor of the Generalissimo's Mansion?"

When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he put down the teacup in his hand, got up and faced the outside of the hall, and said solemnly.

"I!"

------

Two days later, Lu Xiangsheng packed up his mood and went to Xishan to carry out the first task assigned by Zhu Youzhen.

He was accompanied by several officials of Jinyiwei's newly established division.

After Luo Sigong was reinstated, Zhu Youzhen ordered him to reorganize Jinyiwei and concentrate on building the Political Security Department and the Intelligence Department.

The Department of Political Security is mainly internal, while the Intelligence Department is mainly external, and its current task is to infiltrate Houjin and establish a preliminary underground intelligence network.

And this time, Lu Xiangsheng was accompanied by Jinyiwei's Political Security Department.

Half an hour later, several people came to the Xishan coal kiln.

After revealing his identity to the mine owners, Lu Xiangsheng lit up a wooden sign.

Above: The Son of Heaven is conscripted, one or two monthly salaries, disability pensions, retired military resettlement, no military registration, no military salary, if you are interested, you have always signed up.

Xishan, which is the remnant of Taihang in the western suburbs of Beijing, has always produced coal, and there are many miners here.

Miners, brave and hard-working.

Zeng Yun in "Ji Xiao Xinshu": Because of his husband in the mountains and mines, he struggled for his life among the stones, worked hard, and was more organized, and he was accustomed to fighting, which was the good of conscription.

As Qi Shaobao said, Zhu Youzhen took the Xishan coal miners as the first batch of conscripts.

According to the preliminary investigation of the East Factory, the monthly salary of coal miners in Xishan is generally between five yuan and one tael of silver.

Most of its personnel are landless peasants and bankrupt small handicraftsmen near the capital, as well as displaced people from all over the country who have flocked to the capital over the years.

Compared with the precarious life of miners, Zhu Youzhen feels that a military career with a monthly salary of one or two is more attractive to them.

Sure enough, in just three days, Lu Xiangsheng recruited the first batch of 1,000 sergeants.

At the beginning, there were more than 5,000 people actually reported, but after Zhu Youzhen's conscription standards were measured, there were less than 2,000 left.

The physical fitness of adult men in this era was too poor, and the same was true for Rao, who was known for his sturdiness.

Unlike Qi Shaobao's conscription standards, which only focused on soldiers' physiques, the conscription standards of the new army this time are more comprehensive.

In addition to the examination of physical fitness such as height and weight, physical strength, physical strength, endurance and physical strength, Zhu Youzhen also ordered the officials of the Jinyi Health and Security Department to conduct a thorough investigation of each recruit's family situation, neighborhood evaluation, personal qualities, and other aspects.

Finally, after the political qualification certificate was issued by the Department of Political Security, Lu Xiangsheng finally circled the first batch of 1,000 people.

Lu Xiangsheng was also surprised by these conscription methods, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that Zhu Youzhen's plan was far-reaching, so he bowed down and followed suit.

At the same time as Lu Xiangsheng conscripted troops in Xishan, an edict was sent to the Ming Dynasty at an expedited speed of 800 miles.

'You don't see, the Han Army, the weak crown is the captive, please Changying. ’

'You don't see it, Ban Dingyuan, the peerless light cavalry urges the battle clouds. ’

'A man should be in serious danger, how can he let the Confucian crown miss this life?' ’

'The situation is that the country is in danger, and the feathers are constantly fighting. ’

'Abandon my old pen and write my wartime time. ’

More than 100,000 classmates sang war songs and joined the army. ’

'Qi joined the army, cleaned the dust, and swore to sweep away the Hu Lu without regard for himself! ’
