Chapter 302: Paid Servitude

Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, recruited good families to fill his guards through Chaoyang Hall, and there were not many, three thousand people were enough. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As expected, there was one person in the Zhu Dilong case alone to impeach Zhu Gaoxu, and Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong didn't know how to deal with it, so they directly handed it over to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di opened the notes and took a quick look, and asked Zheng He to burn them all.

Zhu Di's unobstruction of Zhu Gaoxu's behavior made the crowd excited, especially the officials who supported the prince, which was a dangerous signal for them.

No matter how the officials objected, Zhu Di kept silent about Zhu Gaoxu's recruitment.

The reason why Zhu Di verbally left room for Zhu Gaochu was that he hoped that Zhu Gaochu could take his troops to the front line to support the defeat of Qi Jing, Xu, and Huizu, and the battle losses of the Ming border army were very serious, and Qi Jing went to take over this mess, it was not enough to take away 12,000 people, of course, 3,000 people were not enough, but it was better than nothing.

Of course, Zhu Di can also mobilize the country's troops to go north to defend against the enemy, but the risk is too great, he has only been on the throne for a short time, and the war with Zhu Yunwen has also been fought for four years, which has not eased up, if the war starts again, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty will be shaken.

Zhu Di knew that Qi Jing's battle would be very difficult, and Zhu Di would strongly support any support.

With the help of Chaoyang Hall, Zhu Gaoxu quickly recruited enough people.

More than 10,000 people signed up, and more than 5,000 people were left to cut off those who were not in good health and the only son in the family, and Zhu Gaoxu left them all with a wave of his sleeves.

No one thought that this recruitment would go so smoothly, and after distributing armor, weapons and horses, Zhu Gaoxu arranged the backbone of Chaoyangtang, which was transferred to him, into the army, and asked them to conduct some basic training for these recruits.

asked to see Zhu Di with doubts, Zhu Gaoxu really wanted to ask his father, didn't he say that the conscription of the imperial court since ancient times was difficult, this time Chaoyang Hall just set up a platform at the door, saying that it was to go north to resist the enemy and recruit soldiers, and more than 10,000 people signed up in Nanzhili alone.

Zhu Di listened to Zhu Gaoxu's complete narrative, sighed, picked up the detailed report of the six doors at hand, glanced at it, and said lightly, "This is the people's heart." ”

"People's hearts?"

"Since ancient times, the imperial court has made conscription compulsory and only when people go to the front line do they know whether they want to fight or quarry. This time is different, although Qi Jing announced the defeat of the Ming Dynasty to the world and made the imperial court lose face, but the death of Yinghai and the 30,000 Ming army still caused some ripples in the hearts of our Ming people. ”

"Only when the people begin to defend this dynasty spontaneously can this dynasty last longer."

The Han people are not bloodless, but the Han people are used to a peaceful life, used to treating others with kindness, used to respecting the old and loving the young, and used to having a hot kang head with their wives and children, but this does not mean that the Han people are used to being enslaved and used to being docile.

When the enemy hits the house, even an eighty-year-old man has the courage to pick up a long knife.

The Fengtian special combat team all followed Qi Jing to the north, and the responsibility of guarding the Qi Mansion was handed over to Chen Anbang and Zhen Zhongying.

Doctor Li Ling packed his small medical box, and he will also go to the front line with Zhu Gaoxu, accompanied by dozens of doctors, because the border army is disabled and needs urgent treatment.

Chaoyang Hall in various places is also stepping up the pace to pull a cart of medicinal materials to the northern front, the household department Shangshu Yu Xin locked up in Dali Temple, and now the household department is temporarily taken care of by Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaochi just took over the household department and ordered the household department to mobilize the permanent liquidation of various places, and take out one-third of the grain and grass to gather in Chaoyang Hall in various places to support the front line.

Qi Jing has always been hanging the official position of a squire of the military department, but he has never been on the shift for a day, this time he was the commander of the expedition to fulfill the responsibility of a day, ordering the military department to concentrate all the bows and arrows to the northern front, and also let Chaoyang Tang hire people to make arrow shafts on a large scale, Chaoyang Tang provided wood, a bundle of twenty arrow shafts, five cents, and a shirt made of cotton, ten cents a piece.

Anyway, for similar munitions, Chaoyangtang would collect rough semi-finished products from the common people, and then send them to the factory for reprocessing.

The iron head and feathers on the arrow shaft are long arrows, and the cotton clothes are embedded with iron armor, and the soldiers can wear them, as long as they can be used, Chaoyang Hall will buy them all.

Some officials are not satisfied, the court needs arrows, and the people should give it for free, so why should they give money?

Qi Jing stopped doing it at that time, grabbed the official's collar, and scolded, according to what you say, you should serve me, then I slept with your wife, and I don't have to give money, right?!

Bastard, you've only been an official for a few years, and you've forgotten your roots? Whose ancestors have been turning up for three generations are not ordinary people, and now that the scenery is beautiful, they have forgotten their roots? Salted fish is still salted fish, as far as you are concerned, you will be a salted fish for a lifetime and will never become a carp.

Qi Jing's scolding was very hard to hear, especially if he wanted to sleep with his wife, the angry official almost didn't get angry, Zhu Di reprimanded Qi Jing in court and fined him for a month.

Qi Jing's words are very reasonable, why let the people work and not give you money, so Zhu Di waved his pen and set up a rule, from today onwards, the imperial court must compensate the people according to the situation, and the specific compensation situation will be discussed by the household department and then reported to himself for the final decision.

Matsuura Nanako was very happy when the Ming frontier went to war, because in her cognition, once the country went to war with foreign enemies, it was natural to pour the whole country's strength, and at this time, domestic events would slow down, and she could also take advantage of the opportunity of the Ming Dynasty's foreign war to strive for greater interests.

But after all, Songpu Cauliflower was disappointed, and the imaginary power of the whole country did not happen, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty seemed to be doing something or what they were doing, and Su Wei still did not let go of the trade terms he proposed.

When I visited any official, the answer I got was that I would do my best.

What kind of answer is this, the foreign enemy invaded, and the entire Ming Dynasty except for Qi Jing and the Han King who went to the front line, the entire Ming Dynasty did not have any other army mobilization, and Zhu Neng, the general who was working hard to exterminate the Japanese on the southeast coast, was not transferred back.

This is not what Matsuura Nanako guessed, isn't the 200,000 army enough for Daming to raise his eyes and take a closer look?

Actually, no, there are a lot of 200,000 troops, but Matsuura Cauliflower, since ancient times, it has been more about the supply problem that restricts the dispatch of troops.

Soldiers are fighting outside, and if the domestic supplies can't keep up, then there will be big problems.

In the past, such as bows, arrows, armor, and so on, they were all manufactured and supplied by the imperial court itself, and the function of the common people was to be forced to fight wars, or to be pulled as free labor.

Such a war will cost the people and money, and it will also make the world angry.

Now Qi Jing has paid for the production of some irrelevant parts of military supplies, which has greatly accelerated the production speed, and the people have no complaints.

As for the grain and grass, Hong Wuye has been recuperating for so many years, and the grain that Daming often closes is enough, not to mention that there is also Chaoyang Hall, which is a free transportation labor.

Where did you come from to work hard and lose money, and still pour the whole country's strength? ! (To be continued.) )
