When Zhu Changluo came back, there were already people who had been waiting for a long time.

"Minister Xu Wenbi has seen His Highness!"

The person who came was Xu Wenbi, the old prince of Dingguo, who had broken his leg these days because of Zhu Changluo's words.

"Xu Guogong doesn't need to be polite, but there is progress in preparing for the Japanese army?"

Zhu Changluo smiled slightly, and after the two parties sat down, he asked.

"Back to His Highness, there has been a lot of progress, but there are still some difficulties here, and I need His Highness's help!"

Xu Wenbi groaned slightly and said.

In the past few days, he has visited the relatives of various families, invited them to join the army of preparing for the Japanese, and relayed the various conditions given by Zhu Changluo to them, which really raised a lot of people.

After all, for these relatives, the opportunity to be on the royal family is not always available, and when Zhu Changluo ascends the throne in the future, it will not be so easy to please Bajie.

However, such a major matter as preparing for the Japanese army naturally cannot be completely smooth sailing, and there are some things that even Xu Wenbi can't make up his mind, and he needs to come to Zhu Changluo to discuss.

"What's the difficulty, Xu Guogong, please say!"

Zhu Changluo was also upright and said.

"Your Royal Highness, in fact, it's okay to say anything else, but although there are many relatives in the land of Beijing, most of the children have entered the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the three major battalions, and the worst is also a temporary post, and the ministers have been running these days, and there are many people who are willing to join the Jingshi Commandery, but in fact, there are far less than the original imagination of the soldiers, a total of thirty or forty people from each family, plus the entourage and servants they brought, there are only two or three thousand people, which is quite different from His Highness's original expectation......"

Xu Wenbi was slightly worried.

The situation of the reserve army, he knew in his heart that although it was reluctantly passed in the court, but the ministers in the court actually did not support the formation of the preparation army, not to mention that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were really not rich, and the final formation of the reserve army was 10,000 people, according to Zhu Changluo's estimate, at least 5,000 people could be raised among the relatives, plus the 3,000 people he originally guarded and commanded the envoys, he could make up eight horses, and the remaining 2,000 people, and then it was very easy to draw them from all over the country.

But now that the difference is so big, it's a bit difficult to do.

Zhu Changluo frowned slightly, but soon opened his brows and said.

"Xu Guogong doesn't have to worry about this matter, the palace is responsible for solving it, Guogong only needs to wait in the mansion for a few days, and there will definitely be people who want to enter the reserve army!"

"Okay, the minister is waiting for the good news of His Highness!"

Xu Wenbi was slightly puzzled by Zhu Changluo's happy agreement, but since Zhu Changluo didn't say much, he didn't ask much, arched his hand and continued.

"There is one more thing, Rong Chen took the liberty to ask, how does His Royal Highness plan to arrange the position of General Bei Wa?"

In fact, this is the main purpose of Xu Wenbi's visit today.

It can be said that the reserve army was supported by Zhu Changluo, and if it had not been for the overseas garrison, this situation would never have occurred under normal circumstances.

In other words, for Xun Qi, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be able to catch the big ship of Zhu Changluo in advance.

And among the prepared Japanese army, the most eye-catching is the post of general of the prepared Japanese.

Not to mention that this Bei Wei general may become Zhu Changluo's henchman in the future, the power in this hand alone is coveted.

You must know that in the peace negotiation treaty with the Wa State, it is clearly stated that the Ming Dynasty's Bei Wa General is not bound by the Wa king, but his status is equivalent to that of the Wa Zuo Minister.

The left minister of the Wa State is nominally the first minister under the king, and the treaty stipulates that this Bei Wa general's position in the Wa State is unsurpassed!

These days, all the Xun Qi families who have thoughts about the preparation of the Japanese army have changed their laws and want to ask Xu Wenbi who will spend the post of general of the preparation of the Japanese army.

"What does Xu Guogong think about this?"

However, Xu Wenbi's performance surprised Zhu Changluo.

You must know that his expectation for the preparation of the Japanese army is not just to find a place for those gentlemen to send out, he needs the preparation of the Japanese army to be stationed in the Japanese country for a long time and build it into a treaty port.

There are inevitably some practices that cannot be done by normal means, and at this time, this group of gentlemen is needed.

But the reserve army is an army after all, and it is an army that he has high hopes for.

General Bei Wei is the leader of this army, and he will definitely be cautious, and it is impossible to let this gang of gentlemen who don't know the importance of it mess around.

Presumably, Xu Wenbi is also very clear about this, so he has not bothered to pay attention to this, and when he suddenly mentioned it today, he definitely did not just want to explore his own meaning.

"Your Royal Highness, it's like this, there are several famous relatives in the capital, all of whom have come to the house to inquire about this matter from the old man, and they revealed to the old man that they have the intention to send their sons-in-law to the reserve army, and there are two families who plan to send their own sons in, the children of these families, the ministers have all seen them, and there are many of them who are both civil and military, so the ministers have this question!"

Xu Wenbi hesitated for a moment and spoke.

"Forgive the ministers for being presumptuous, the minister knows that His Highness attaches great importance to the preparation of the Japanese army, and the post of the preparation of the Japanese army will be held by His Royal Highness's confidants, but since many of the reserve Japanese soldiers are selected from the honorable relatives, if a reserve general is transferred from outside, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, so the minister thought about it again and again, and still wanted to remind His Highness, whether to consider selecting the reserve Japanese general from among the honorable relatives?"

Zhu Changluo groaned, what Xu Wenbi said was not unreasonable.

Most of the children of the family are very arrogant, if they really find someone they don't know to lead them, I'm afraid they will have to fight in the nest before they have time to rush to the Wa Kingdom.

Zhu Changluo hoped that they would go to the Wa Kingdom to play tricks on others, but he didn't think about letting them fight with themselves.

However, if it is said that the general is selected from among the children of Xun Qi, the prestige is there, but Zhu Changluo is really skeptical about the ability of these children.

Unlike other positions, the position of General Bei requires both excellent strategic vision and rich political experience, otherwise it will be difficult to cope with the complex situation in the country.

Tokugawa Ieyasu, Zhu Chang Luo Ke has never underestimated him, can replace the character of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, how can it be a simple character?

If you don't do it, you will become a plaything in his hand.

So to be honest, Zhu Changluo has not yet made up his mind about who the post of General Bei Wei will be handed over, and now Xu Wenbi reminds him that he has some ideas.

After a pause, Zhu Changluo spoke.

"In that case, Xu Guogong will give the palace a copy of the list of these people, and the palace will consider it!"

"Your Highness is wise!"

Xu Wenbi was immediately overjoyed, took out a roster from his sleeve, and handed it over.

Zhu Changluo opened it and took a look, but saw that the first one was actually Xu Hongwu, the prince of the Duke of Wei, and couldn't help but be a little speechless, no wonder this old fox was so concerned......
