Zhu Cihong was very satisfied with Qian Qianyi's personal burning of Donglin Academy, Qian Qianyi was a great Confucian and the leader of Donglin, only if he personally destroyed the Donglin Party, he could cut off the minds of all the surviving Donglin Party members, and the Donglin Party had no possibility of recovery.

Qian Qianyi is so knowledgeable, Zhu Cihong specially asked him to take the post of secretary of the ministry and take charge of the promotion of officials, which can be described as a heavy power, although Ma Shiying is the first assistant, but they are all envious.

The six Shangshu are now lacking in the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, Zhu Cihong is thinking about who to take over, in order to stabilize the court, these two people must be highly respected, but there seems to be no such person in the court.

Zhu Cihong thought of two people, Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou, these two people, like Qian Qianyi, were both great Confucians, and both were cabinet scholars of the Chongzhen Dynasty, quite talented, the most important thing is their backbone, both of them died because of their refusal to surrender to the Qing Dynasty in history, and they were truly loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Zongzhou, Zhu Cihong is not worried, but Huang Daozhou is a little embarrassed, because Huang Daozhou was also the leader of Donglin, even older than Qian Qianyi's qualifications in the Donglin Party, but after being demoted by Emperor Chongzhen, he retired, but in the end he was born in the Donglin Party, and now the Donglin Party has been uprooted by Zhu Cihong, who knows if Huang Daozhou has a pimple in his heart, and he is willing to accept Zhu Cihong's plea to return to the court.

In any case, you have to give it a try.

Zhu Cihong asked Jinyiwei to pass on the holy decree and appointed Liu Zongzhou as the secretary of the household department and Huang Daozhou as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Sure enough, as Zhu Cihong expected, Liu Zongzhou happily accepted the appointment of the head of the household, but Huang Daozhou refused to accept it, and many of the words he refused were unfair to the Donglin Party, and even insulted Zhu Cihong.

When the news came back, Zhu Cihong was a little distressed, these Confucians, their virtues are very good, but they are a little too stubborn.

Zhu Cihong personally summoned Peng Cheng and asked him to go to Huang Daozhou again.

"You just tell Huang Daozhou, I really want to know a question, in his Huang Daozhou's heart, is it important for the collapsed Donglin Party to be uneven, or is it important for nearly 100 million people in the Ming Dynasty."

"We've taken the order." Peng Cheng was very excited, the emperor finally summoned him for the first time, although he still went to invite the old stubborn Huang Daozhou, but this time he went with the emperor personally told him, and it felt different.

Huang Daozhou, like the first time, refused without thinking about it, and directly turned Peng Cheng away, not even bothering to see him.

Peng Cheng was so angry that he raised his foot and was about to kick the door, but he endured it halfway through the kick and shouted at the door.

"Huang Daozhou, the emperor asked me to ask you a word, in your heart, is the Donglin Party important or the nearly 100 million people of the Ming Dynasty are important, if you think the Donglin Party is more important, I will immediately go back to the emperor and promise that the emperor will never send someone to ask you to return to the court and do things for the people of the Ming Dynasty."

Huang Daozhou listened to Peng Cheng's shouting, he was stunned, his face changed unpredictably, for a long time, he sighed deeply, went to open the door in person, and took over the appointment of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

After Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou came to Nanjing City to take up their posts, the Sixth Department was once again presided over, and the court suddenly became stable.

Although because of the huge amount of almost 30 million taels of silver that was recently stolen from the house, the treasury is now abundant and there is no shortage of money, but Zhu Cihong does not want to adjust the originally planned expansion plan.

It was still only the expansion of Yinglong's army to 30,000 people, but an additional 4,000 artillery battalions were added.

As the new army of Yinglongjun, Zhu Cihong was not prepared to make many changes in the military system, but only changed the original general army to army commander, and the rest of the generals, thousand generals, hundred generals, banner generals, and even commanders remained unchanged.

Yinglong's army was divided into two armies, each with 15,000 men and an artillery battalion of 2,000 men, for a total of 17,000 men.

Ji Feng is the military seat of the first army of the Yinglong Army, and Zhou Cao is the military seat of the second army.

"Throne? Why does this name sound so twisted? Ji Feng said.

"Grandma's breasts, why don't you feel awkward when you listen to it, otherwise Lao Tzu will change with you, Lao Tzu will be the military seat, and you will be the commander of the Jinyi Guard!" Zhang Kuishan gritted his teeth and said, needless to say, envy, jealousy and hatred in his heart, although the emperor also restored his Jinyi Guard to 5,000 people, and the grade is also the third grade, but how can the commander of the Jinyi Guard be compared with the military seat who fights on the battlefield.

"Get out of here, Lao Tzu won't go with a group of fans, and do some inquiries all day long." Ji Feng pouted, his brain was kicked by a donkey before he exchanged with Zhang Kuishan.

"You" Zhang Kuishan pointed at Ji Feng and gritted his teeth.

Ji Feng raised his head to the sky, extremely proud, his expression was full of Lao Tzu just not to change with you, you have the ability to bite Lao Tzu, which made Zhang Kuishan so angry that his nose was crooked.

"Zhou Cao, you exchange with Lao Tzu." Zhang Kuishan stared at Zhou Cao and yelled loudly.

Zhou Cao was startled by Zhang Kuishan's sudden roar, then smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly covered his crotch and said, "I'm urgent, go first." After saying that, he instantly slipped away and fled from this place.

Zhang Kuishan's face darkened, extremely holding his breath, Zhou Cao was originally just an ordinary person, and in only one or two months, he became one of the two major military seats of Ying Longjun, this should have been his position, Zhang Kuishan was crazy, he was too unconvinced.

No, he must find an opportunity to talk to the emperor and ask the emperor to find another person to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and let him lead the troops to fight.

In the afternoon of the same day, Jin Yiwei took the imperial list recruited by the Ying Long Army to post it all over Nanjing.

"Dangdangdang!!!!" Jin Yiwei sounded the gong and drum, and after a while, a large group of people gathered here.

"Recruited, recruited, the emperor's pro-army recruited by the Dragon Army, ordinary soldiers are six taels of silver a month, and there is meat for a meal."

"What? Six taels of silver a month, and there is meat for a meal? "There is a homeless man whose eyes are about to pop out, he fled all the way from Shanxi to Nanjing, as a refugee, his life is extremely sad, he eats a meal every day and is hungry, and often does not earn ten cents a day of coolies, and now he has six taels of silver a month as a soldier, and he also has meat for a meal, which is simply a pie in the sky, and there is meat for him, so that he is worth dying.

"This big brother, whether this is true or not, it can't be a lie." The treatment was so good that it was unbelievable, not only this homeless person, but also other people with doubts.

"Nonsense, don't you see what this is? This is the emperor's list, the emperor's personal decree, how can he lie to you? Jin Yiwei glared at the homeless man and scolded. As the emperor's minions, Jin Yiwei can't question the emperor's words.

"Hey, hey, that's good, I'm relieved." Got the guarantee of Jinyiwei, everyone was overjoyed, especially the homeless, some dragged their families with their mouths, and it was extremely difficult to feed a family.

Immediately, countless homeless people rushed to tell each other and flocked to the place of recruitment.
