With the defeat of the Mongol cavalry, more than three months passed in a flash, and it seemed that the end of the first year of the Apocalypse was ushered in.

Zhu Hao also ushered in a short period of repair in Shaanxi, of course, during this period, the four generals he sent out were still recruiting troops in various prefectures and counties.

With Zhu Hao's land reward method and the spread of the idea that soldiers should eat food and not starve, the conscription in various prefectures and counties went very smoothly.

It is worth mentioning that the first special forces under Zhu Hao's account has been formed and has been formed, with an establishment of 50,000 people, and is currently being trained by Gao Shun.

The ordnance of this trapped camp was built by the imperial court who sent 3,000 craftsmen to Yansui for construction.

Among them, the materials consumed were transferred by Zhu Hao from the military expenses of Liaodong, and the sea income of Zheng Zhilong's fleet.

The reason why Zhu Hao transferred the military expenses of Liaodong was because the last time Guangning was lost, the soldiers and horses of Liaodong were lost, but the military expenses of Liaodong were not deducted by the imperial court, and they were still issued according to the previous amount.

Therefore, there is a large part of it, of course, this situation is Zhu Hao's letter to his emperor's eldest brother, specially applied, because Zhu Hao does not want to wait for him to recruit troops in Shaanxi, and then worry about military expenses.

Zhu Youxiao doted on Zhu Hao, which was unreasonable, so this abnormal appearance, the matter of eating empty salaries, happened between the two brothers.

Of course, in Zhu Hao's heart, what he was thinking about was how to make the Ming Dynasty rich and strong again, he would not embezzle a penny of military salary, he was just to prevent the imperial court from issuing military salaries after conscription.

The extra military salary in these three months, Zhu Hao was also used in the creation of Apocalypse rifles and bullets, and some other ordnance, which can be regarded as the extra part of the military salary in Liaodong, which was used in military defense.

Although Zhu Hao knew that his eldest brother would not ask him what he had done with the money, Zhu Hao himself required himself to have a clear conscience.

As everything was going on step by step, Zhu Hao naturally received good news from the four generals frequently, and Zhu Hao, who had nothing to do in his residence, went out on this day and prepared to go to Xi'an Mansion to check the people's situation.

After Zhu Hao said hello to Du Wenhuan, the general soldier of Yansui, he took a team of guards and went to Xi'an Mansion, which is the seat of Shaanxi's political envoy and the capital of Shaanxi.

Three days after Zhu Hao set off from Yansui, he arrived at Xi'an Mansion, and the officials of Xi'an Mansion had already received the news that Zhu Hao had gone to Xi'an.

Therefore, as soon as Zhu Hao saw Xi'an City, he saw a group of officials from Shaanxi, greeting him at the city gate.

Although Zhu Hao's trip was not a mission, there was no need for these Shaanxi officials to welcome Zhu Hao, but Zhu Hao was a prince after all, and these Shaanxi officials, big and small, naturally did not dare to slack off.

Before Zhu Hao arrived at the city gate, all the officials of Shaanxi paid homage to him:

"Your Royal Highness, see King Xin!"

Zhu Hao immediately looked at the Shaanxi officials, smiled and said:

"Gentlemen, get up!"

"This king came to Shaanxi this time to deal with military affairs, not to be sent by order, you don't have to be polite!"

Zhu Hao turned over and dismounted as he spoke, and exchanged a few words with the officials in Shaanxi.

At this time, a person suddenly rushed out from the city gate, knelt down in front of Zhu Hao, kowtowed to Zhu Hao, and shouted wronged.

Seeing this, the officials in Shaanxi were all facing like water, and Tao Ran, the political envoy of Shaanxi, immediately reprimanded:

"Where did Diao Min come from, I shocked the prince!"

"Come on, drag down the official, and severely punish the crime!"

Zhu Hao listened to Tao Ran's words, and immediately waved his hand and interrupted:

"Political envoy Taobu, since he has complained about wrongs in front of this king, and wants this king to ask, it is not too late to deal with it!"

As Zhu Hao spoke, he looked at the kneeling man on the ground, Zhu Hao saw that he was dressed in coarse linen clothes, his feet were wearing straw sandals, his body was thin, but his bones were huge.

Although the whole person doesn't have much meat, it still looks very bluffing.

After Zhu Hao glanced at this person, he spoke:

"You put your head up and talk back!"

As Zhu Hao's words were finished, the man raised his head, and Zhu Hao realized that the person kneeling on the ground turned out to be a young man, only to see this person, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a look in his eyes, looking at Zhu Hao's gaze without fear at all.

Zhu Hao looked at the young man, slightly curious, and asked:

"Who are you and where do you live?"

"Why do you cry out in front of this king?"

"Tell me to hear from the king!"

The young man raised his head and looked at Zhu Hao, and after Zhu Hao's words were finished, he spoke:

"The villain's name is Li Hongji, and his family lives in Shaanxi Mizhi Li Jiqian Village."

"The villain wants to sue his fellow villagers for Ai Zhao......"

Zhu Hao didn't hear a word of the words behind Li Hongji, and his brain was roaring.

Zhu Hao knows too well who this Li Hongji of Mizhi is, he is recorded in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and later overthrew the Ming regime, forced Chongzhen to commit suicide and martyrdom, and the famous King Li Zicheng.

After Zhu Hao heard Li Zicheng's self-introduction, his first thought was that no matter whether this Li Zicheng was wronged or not, kill him first, so as not to repeat the mistakes recorded in the history books.

Zhu Hao thought so, and then said:

"Come, take this man down to this king...... Lock it up first, and this king will ask carefully when he enters the city later! ”

Zhu Hao said half of what he said and changed his mind, it was not that he was soft-hearted and wanted to let go of Li Zicheng, Zhu Hao was soft-hearted and would not let go, this person who might subvert Daming and endanger his life in the future.

The reason why Zhu Hao suddenly changed his mind was because in front of all the officials in Shaanxi, he couldn't be so careless about people's lives, which would hurt his reputation in Shaanxi.

Reputation doesn't seem to be important, and Zhu Hao usually doesn't care too much.

But right now, Zhu Hao is at the critical moment of recruitment, and all prefectures and counties are recruiting troops under the banner of King Xin, if he doesn't care about killing Li Zicheng at this moment, it will hurt his reputation.

It will inevitably affect the people's hearts and make it difficult for him to recruit soldiers, Zhu Hao didn't want such a thing to happen, so he didn't kill this Li Zicheng for the time being.

What Zhu Hao was thinking at the moment was that anyway, now that this Li Zicheng had fallen into his hands, it would be a matter of time before he wanted to kill, and he was not in a hurry, the key was not to affect the conscription plan.

When Li Zicheng heard that Zhu Hao was going to lock him up first, he immediately stopped doing it, and directly pointed at Zhu Hao's nose and scolded:

"What kind of bullshit prince are you!"

"I chased you all the way to Xi'an Mansion, and you treated me like this?"

"What's the difference between you and these corrupt officials?"

"You're all a raccoon dog!"

"I, Li Hongji, will make you pay the price one day sooner or later!"
