The armed forces are the country's top priorities at all times and in all places.

At this moment, Hong Chengchou killed twelve generals, so that the management of the three battalions was hollow, this matter, just happened an hour, the impeachment of the chapter was handed over to the cabinet, more and more chapters, Huang Liji can't, can only keep a part, submit a part, this chapter is placed on the dragon case of the Yangxin Palace, Zhu Youzhen didn't even look at it, just heard Li Chang say a sentence, Hong Chengchou killed dozens of generals, applauded in his heart, and left all the recitals in front of the case. This is also a kind of silent support for Hong Chengchou.

At this time, if you want to completely eradicate the stubborn diseases of the three major battalions, how can you do it without repeating the canon.

Near noon, Wei Zhongxian came.

Zhu Youzhen summoned Wei Zhongxian in the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, and after Wei Zhongxian saw the ceremony, he said: "Your Majesty, the one million taels of silver you asked the old slave to prepare has been sealed, and you can see when it will be sent to Admiral Hong." ”

"Gonggong Wei, you said that this Hong Chengchou came up to kill people, does he have the ability to clean up the three major battalions of the Beijing Division for me?" Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and did not mention the silver taels, but instead asked Wei Zhongxian for his opinion, and what he said was extremely sincere.

"Don't disturb the emperor, these three battalions are seriously ill and need to be given fierce medicine, Hong Chengchou's trick is fierce medicine, killing chickens and monkeys, which can not only make the people behind them frightened, but also deter the military horses of the three major battalions, so that they can understand the intentions of the emperor and the court."

"There is some truth in what Gonggong Wei said, then these chapters are all impeached against Hong Chengchou, how should I deal with it, whether to give instructions one by one or stay in the middle and not send them." When Zhu Youzhen said these words to Wei Zhongxian at this time, he was also stabilizing Wei Zhongxian, telling Wei Zhongxian, you can rest assured, even if I stretched out my hand to the army, even if I appointed Sun Chengzong as the commander of Liaodong, even if I promoted the young Hong Chengchou to the commander of the three battalions, it seems that most of the people in the Ming Dynasty are under his control, but he is still a seventeen-year-old young emperor, and he is not decisive enough, and sometimes he has to rely on Gonggong Wei a lot.

Wei Zhongxian said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, the imperial historians are not at fault, but it is the emperor's will to rectify the three major battalions. “

"Father-in-law Wei really knows my heart, so I think that's what I do."

"Your Majesty."

"By the way, there's nothing wrong with the silver two."

"The emperor can rest assured, there will be no mistakes in this million taels of silver."

After chatting with Wei Zhongxian for a few more words, he asked him to step back, looking at Wei Zhongxian's back, Zhu Youzhen's heart was a little struggling, it was not far from the day of Wei Zhongxian's downfall, but why was he a little undecided, was he really panicked, and the wild history in the previous time and space: "Zhongxian died, Daming died." Is this sentence making you hesitate? Or because after he ascended the throne, Wei Zhongxian did not do anything harmful to himself, on the contrary, he still supported his own policies, and all his thoughts were put away, with only one thing, Wei Zhongxian could not escape death, that is, Zhu Youzhen felt that he was not like the master of the Ming Dynasty, Wei Zhongxian had to die, but Zhu Youzhen did not want Wei Zhongxian to insult his corpse after his death, which could be regarded as worthy of his assistance at the beginning of his ascension to the throne.

The civil officials all moved around and told them that they would work together to deal with Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao in the early morning of two days, so that these two nouveau riche from the countryside could understand that it was not so simple for Jingshi to be an official.

After killing the twelve generals, Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao spent three hours to actually check the number of the three major battalions, with a total number of 69,622 people, this number shocked Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao, reprimanded the eight surviving generals, and issued a military order to summon a total of more than 100 generals.

More than 100 people stood in the big tent and it was a little crowded, but no one cared, and Mr. Qian's heart trembled a little, because most of them stretched out their hands, but Hong Chengchou never thought of using them to kill the twelve generals who didn't often come to the barracks, but if they wantonly killed these officials who faced the grassroots soldiers, if they were not cleaned up well, it was very likely to cause a mutiny of military horses, which was a big crime of killing the head, and Hong Chengchou, who was a smart person, certainly knew it, so he became cautious about these things.

"Zheng Dengfeng and other criminal ministers, greedy for the court's silver, has been the official justice, everyone don't need to panic, the case of greedy for silver has ended, the official will not kill a person, however, I and General Cao actually checked the number of people, and found that there are 100,000 people in the three major battalions, is this still the heavy army of the imperial court? How many of you stretch out your hand, the official will never ask again, but the salary sent by the emperor will be sent to the camp immediately, and I advise you not to do anything about it, otherwise the fate of the twelve generals will be your fate in the future. “

After listening to Hong Chengchou's words, these thousand presidents calmed down their general thoughts, and some people with a mind knew that the new admiral did not dare to start, but it was difficult to ensure that he was not a nerd who was not afraid of heaven and earth, in case he delved into the end, he would not be able to get rid of it, but now it is good, the admiral has already said, and he will not delve into it anymore, but the new military salary has been distributed, so that he can have an explanation for his brothers.

"The three major battalions of the imperial court are registered with 170,000 people, but now there are less than 70,000, and within three months, the number of the three major battalions must exceed 120,000."

Wang Ge came out and said in a low voice: "Lord Admiral, double the number of people in three months, this, this is indeed too difficult, the young general is afraid, we can't do it." “

"What if I tell you that the emperor paid a salary of one million taels of silver?"

Hearing the number of one million taels, hundreds of people in the big tent were shocked, one million taels of silver, what does this mean? One-third of the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty, and two years of military salaries for the three battalions.

"Then, how much money will be left in our barracks?" A thousand always shouted.

"Nothing is missing." In fact, Hong Chengchou was a little lacking in confidence when he said these words, because he knew the situation of Jingshi, even if Zhu Youzhen, Wei Zhongxian, and Huang Liji were all concerned about this matter, but people died for money, and birds died for food, and it was inevitable that there would be those who wanted money and did not want to die.

After the sergeant heard Hong Chengchou's words of lack of confidence, he beat the drum in his heart one by one.

At this time, Cao Wenzhao, who was speechless, stood up and said with a full of anger: "The emperor said to Lord Hong and the general, one million taels of silver, delivered today, if there is a difference of one cent, Lord Hong and I will also recover it, if so, those corrupt officials above the court do not give Lao Tzu, the general will make a fuss about this matter to the Taihe Palace, let the emperor call the shots." Cao Wenzhao was a little excited when he spoke, and he actually said foul language in the middle, and only in the end did he react and hurriedly turned back.

Cao Wenzhao's words made Mr. Qian always have a Dinghai Divine Needle in his heart and firmly believe it.

After listening to Cao Wenzhao's words, Hong Chengchou was a little displeased, but he didn't show it, and said lightly: "You all know that the twelve counselors were killed by me, although they died, but their positions were left, don't you want to go further and become generals in the imperial court." Hong Chengchou's words were said to the thousands of generals, and the implication was to do a good job, pull the troops up first, and whoever behaves well will be let be the general.

"Yes, whoever has the most merit will be promoted." Cao Wenzhao said loudly.

As soon as Cao Wenzhao's words fell, a soldier reported that the imperial court had already left the city and was only ten miles away from the camp.

Hong Chengchou also stood up from his seat and said, "You accompany the official to inspect the silver two." “

Hundreds of generals bowed down and said, "Obey." “

Under the leadership of Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao, a group of people arrived outside Dayingkou, thousands of soldiers were lined up on both sides.

In less than half an hour, a pair of centaurs appeared in the north, getting closer and closer.
