As for Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, Zhu Cihong planned to abolish his prince and confine him in the high walls of Fengyang.

According to Dongchang Fanzi's investigation, in the plan of Qian Qianyi and others to rebel, King Lu is an extremely key link.

They planned to support the Lu clan to ascend the throne after the success of killing the king, so that they could also get a share of the merit of the dragon.

And King Lu did not express opposition or rejection during the whole process, but pretended to be nothing and let Qian Qianyi, Xu Wenjue and others plot. It's a bit of a joy to see it happen.

It seems that Lu Fan is still lucky, and he has the heart to covet the big treasure.

The reason why Zhu Cihong did not kill King Lu was because Zhu Changshu did not actively participate in the whole process of rebellion, and second, Zhu Cihong did not want to leave a reputation for persecuting his clansmen.

Although these clan relatives are full of brains, they still have some family backgrounds after all. Zhu Cihong plans to let them have some blood in the future, so naturally they can't do things too much, just point to the end.

King Lu, if he is not careful in handling this matter, he will be used by people with intentions to publicize the Son of Heaven to covet the property of the vassal king. But Zhu Cihong really had this idea, and if he really killed King Lu, he would not be able to wash it even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Fortunately, all the evils in Nanjing have been eliminated, and there is no threat to a vassal king who has been abolished and imprisoned. As long as Zhu Cihong has a firm grip on military power in his hands, there is no need to worry about conspirators subverting the regime.

It's time to take the opportunity to cultivate a group of his own henchmen.

Although the guards brought by Zhu Cihong from the Beijing Division are loyal, after all, the number of people is limited, so they should still open source.

After thinking about it carefully, Zhu Cihong asked the personal attendant to lay out the paper and write down a list of names with a pen himself.

Chen Zilong, Zhang Huangyan, Xia Wanchun, Wang Fuzi, Yan Yingyuan, Gu Yanwu, Fu Qingzhu, Song Yingxing, Lu Xiangguan.

These are the heroes of the anti-Qing Dynasty that Zhu Cihong could think of for a while, and they have written a strong stroke in the original history of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

In this time and space, due to the arrival of Zhu Cihong, the situation of resisting the Qing Dynasty was very good, and Zhu Cihong could not forget these loyal people.

There is no doubt about the loyalty of these people, and they are much more relieved than Qian Qianyi, whose water is too cold and his scalp is itchy.

Zhu Cihong firmly believes that as long as Nanming is united, it will not be difficult to turn the Manchu Dynasty and restore Shenzhou. It's just that there are too many such traitors to make the good situation go down the drain.

Therefore, he has to make sure that he has enough talent available in his hands, and he has his henchmen in important positions. Only in this way will the Ming Dynasty not become fragmented.

After Chen Zilong, Zhang Huangyan, Xia Wanchun, Wang Fuzi, Yan Yingyuan, Gu Yanwu, Fu Qingzhu, Lu Xiangguan and others were recruited, Zhu Cihong planned to let them go to military schools, after all, history has proved that they are still very talented in military affairs.

If they can undergo systematic training, their ability to command troops will be raised to a higher level.

Zhu Cihong planned to wait until they graduated from the military academy to send him to join the Shence Army as an officer.

Although the Shence Army now has only four battalions and 8,000 men, it will definitely expand in the future, and there are ample positions to offer.

In this sense, the Huangming Military Academy is a talent pool for Zhu Cihong, and it has the function of continuous hematopoiesis for the emperor.

Zhu Cihong firmly believes that in the future, the Emperor Ming Military Academy will be written in the history of the Emperor!

As for the silver taels......

Zhu Cihong now has tens of millions of taels of silver obtained from his house, all of which are piled up inside, and he does not have to worry about the salary of the new army at all.

In his opinion, even if he expanded the Shence Army to 100,000 people, he could afford to raise it.

As for Song Yingxing, that is the author of "Heavenly Creation".

"Heavenly Creations" involves bricks, ceramics, sulfur, candles, paper, weapons, gunpowder, textiles, dyeing, salt making, steel filling, coal mining, oil extraction, etc., and is a veritable encyclopedia. The person who can write this kind of book is simply a genius.

Zhu Cihong planned to transfer Song Yingxing to the Ministry of Industry, so that he could make the best use of it.

Zhu Cihong even wrote down the current residence of these people, and the little eunuch was stunned.

is worthy of being the Son of Heaven, although he is not out of this palace gate, he knows everything about the affairs of the world!

After sending a few wills, Zhu Cihong let out a long breath.

I don't know what happened to the situation in Shandong? Zheng Chenggong's letter should have been sent to Fujian, right? After Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, the situation still developed in the direction of history? What is Huguang's Zuo Liangyu thinking about now? The next step of the Manchu Qing is to destroy Li Zicheng first? What are the plans of Li Zicheng in Shanxi and even in Guanzhong?

Too many questions arise, but there is some confusion. Zhu felt the need to send spies to these places to gather information. Jinyiwei and Dongchang alone were not enough, and Zhu Cihong planned to set up a military intelligence department and set up branches in important prefectures and counties, radiating from Nanjing to the whole country.

MID spies don't need to be prominent. They can be the shopkeeper of a rice shop, a guy in a restaurant, or even a monk in a temple.

The more obscure the identity, the more conducive to lurking. After all, many key locations are not yet under the control of the Ming Dynasty, but in enemy war zones.

To survive in an enemy war zone, you must keep a low profile as much as possible. Only by keeping a low profile can we survive, and can we send as much information as possible to Nanjing for Zhu Cihong to read and decide.

The establishment of the Military Intelligence Department Zhu Cihong did not intend to pass through Jinyiwei or the East Factory, he was going to rebuild the inner factory, and the Military Intelligence Department was subordinate to him.

Listening is clear, and partiality is dark. The information that Zhu Cihong didn't want to hear was all from Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

The more information, the less likely it is that Zhu Cihong will make a mistake in making a decision.

Today's Da Ming can no longer afford to make any mistakes.

......

Nanjing West Market.

A group of people involved in the conspiracy case and their relatives all stood in the court with a desolate expression.

Every time the overseer threw off a stick, a row of people was brought to the front and pressed to the ground, and the knife was beheaded.

The steel knife swung over, the skull rolling, and the blood gushed like a fountain. The headless corpse convulsed and slammed to the ground.

At this moment, the prisoners who were scheduled to be executed in the back were tormented, and they just wanted to end it as soon as possible.

It took nearly an hour to kill more than 3,000 rebels and their families, and there was already a river of blood in front of the guillotine.

The soldiers dragged the bodies to small carts and prepared to send them out of the city to dig pits and bury them.

The heads of the rebels will be hung at the head of the city according to the will of the Son of Heaven. Fortunately, the walls of Nanjing are long enough to hang so many heads completely.

The punishment was not over yet, and as the two criminals were pressed to the court, the people watching the punishment were excited.

These two people are the first evil Qian Qianyi and Xu Wenjue in this reverse case, and it is he who discussed and plotted to kill the king. Another great evil, the Lord, had already escaped by hanging himself. However, the Son of Heaven has ordered the Jinyi Guard to whip his corpse and show it to the public.

Qian Qianyi and Xu Wenjue were tied to a wooden stake by several executioners, and their faces were pale.

On the way to the court, they were attacked by angry people, and at this moment they were covered in rotten vegetable leaves and feces and urine.

Qian Qianyi originally wanted to write a desperate poem to express his intentions, but at the moment, he lost his heart, and hung his head without a trace of anger.

The executioner walked to Qian Qianyi and Xu Wenjue and tried the knife first, and then said with a smile: "A certain family hasn't killed someone for a long time, if the knife is not good, please bear with the two adults." There is a debtor and a debtor, and the two adults don't complain about a certain family on the Huangquan Road. ”
