The lords paid the money and left the Jingxi Imperial Village in disgrace.

Without the interference of the Lord, Jingxi Huangzhuang slowly moved on the right track. The road is being repaired, the house is being built, and everything is being carried out in an orderly manner.

Wu Fa has received more than a dozen apprentices and is firing flat glass and preparing to build a greenhouse; Li Striker shouldered the heavy responsibility of making a new type of firecracker, and carefully selected a group of skilled, loyal and honest blacksmiths to make firecrackers in a secret place; Sun Tieniu's tasks are the most miscellaneous, leading people to make doors and windows in a while, and leading people to make furniture in full swing for a while; Qian Xiaosaw is now the captain of the joinery team, and is responsible for producing boxes for children's playgrounds and creating small furniture for the women. Zhou Ping has the most tasks, on the one hand, he has to keep an eye on people to build houses, and on the other hand, he has to care about road construction; The affairs of Tongle Primary School are relatively simple, except for Feng Menglong, who was injured and recuperated in Beijing, and temporarily stopped Chinese classes, other classes are carried out normally; In the Children's Music Academy, three science madmen Xu Guangqi, Sun Yuanhua, and Wan Hu got together and began to study new weapons of mass destruction.

Although Huangzhuang is busy, Zhu Cheng is already planning to recruit troops.

Zhu Youzhen didn't care, and said: "It's not easy, let's go to the thousand-household house again, and we are familiar with the way." I remember that a few years ago, Wu Qianhu showed us no less than a few hundred surplus soldiers, and all of them were recruited. ”

Zhu Cheng said: "This is a solution, but it's a little tiring." I have an easier way......"

Zhu Youzhen pulled his sleeve and said hurriedly: "What's the way, say it quickly." ”

Zhu Cheng was a little speechless - you are really anxious, and said with a wry smile: "I'm not talking about it." This method is to use the old to lead the new, and let these veterans who have been trained for four or five years recruit new recruits. They are already familiar with our training methods and know what kind of troops we need. We let them recruit soldiers, and they can sit here and wait for them to come to the door. ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded and said, "Then are they willing to recruit troops?" The weather is getting colder and colder, and the recruitment road is far away, are they willing to go? ”

Zhu Cheng said: "I believe in our soldiers, they are all obedient to orders, not to mention that I have a heavy reward." ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "Give money?" We have a lot of money now, and we can afford to give more money. ”

Zhu Cheng said: "Don't give money, give it to the official." Recruit ten people and be a small flag; Recruit fifty people and be the general flag; Recruit a hundred people, and be a hundred households. ”

Zhu Youzhen belonged to the action faction and immediately ordered Wu Huping to gather Jinyiwei.

Jin Yiwei was accustomed to emergency gatherings, and after a while, they formed a neat phalanx.

Zhu Youjian stood on the stage and wanted to speak, but he was a little embarrassed, so he pulled the corner of Zhu Cheng's clothes and said, "You say, I'll help you stand and cheer." ”

Zhu Cheng did not shirk and picked up the iron horn. He usually gave orders to Jinyi Weibu and always felt that the sound was not loud enough, and he missed the megaphone of later generations very much, and remembered that simple speakers could still be realized in the Ming Dynasty, so he asked Li Datie to make one for him. It's not as easy to use as an electronic loudspeaker, but it's better than nothing.

Zhu Cheng said: "Brothers of Jinyiwei, I have been promoted, and now I am a thousand households of Jinyiwei. My officials are inseparable from your help and support, and without you, I would not be able to sit in this position. You will grow a face for me, and I will reward you. I'll give you a chance to be promoted now, well done, the hundred households of the sixth grade are waiting for you. ”

The soldiers of the Jinyi Guard were all listening intently, and some of them trembled slightly because of excitement.

Zhu Cheng continued: "Since I am a thousand households, I must have a thousand brocade guards under my command. You are the elite I have trained, you know my training methods, you know what kind of soldiers I need, and you go to all parts of the country to recruit me soldiers. Recruit ten people, you can make small flags; Recruit fifty people, and you can make a general flag; If you recruit 100 people, you can do 100 households. Each person can recruit up to 100 people. However, the ugly words are in the front, after recruiting soldiers, I will test them again, and those who fail to pass will be resolutely dismissed. The cost of recruiting such a soldier will not be paid for by you, so it will have to be deducted from your monthly money. Did you hear me clearly? ”

The soldiers of the Jinyi Guard shouted in unison: "Hear me clearly! ”

The voice was too loud, Zhu Cheng plucked out his ears, and then said: "The time limit for recruiting soldiers is 1 month, and those who are farther can extend the time as appropriate." The age requirement of the recruited soldiers is 15 to 16 years old, and there is no geographical limit. The monthly salary of each soldier is 1 tael, which increases by 1 tael per year, and the settling-in allowance is 1 tael. You are all literate, and when you get to the recruitment site, you write it yourself. After the meeting was dismissed, he went to Lord Zhu Youzhen to receive 100 taels of settling-in expenses and 1o taels of travel expenses. ”

Zhu Cheng talked about the precautions for recruiting soldiers and the good supply of soldiers in which places, and then announced the dismissal of the meeting.

Zhu Youzhen was surrounded by a group of people and went into the tent. The money was ready-made, and the indemnities of the lords were piled up there.

Wei Liangqing had already recovered from his stick injury, and now he had become Zhu Cheng's personal soldier, he asked, "Lord Zhu, can I go to recruit soldiers?" ”

Zhu Cheng glanced at him and said, "Do you also want to be a hundred households?" ”

Wei Liangqing was a little embarrassed and nodded.

Zhu Cheng glanced at him approvingly and said, "I don't want the soldiers of Qianhu to be good soldiers. You're self-motivated, I'm glad. You can't go right now, though. ”

Wei Liangqing was a little unconvinced and asked, "Why?" ”

Zhu Cheng said: "The recruited soldiers are trained by recruiters, do you know how to train soldiers?" ”

Wei Liangqing was dumbfounded.

Zhu Cheng said: "You are my relative, are you afraid that you will not be able to make meritorious contributions and be promoted to an official with me?" ”

Ke Qingqing walked over and asked, "Brother Cheng, I am already a hundred households in Jinyi, do you want to recruit soldiers?" ”

Zhu Cheng said: "Of course." You are still the commander of the bare pole, if you don't recruit some soldiers, who will you command? However, you are mainly recruiting female soldiers, and you want those who are strong, bold and careful, and do not faint when they see blood, because in the future, all the wounded soldiers of the Jinyi Guard will be handed over to you to take care of. In addition, recruit some doctors, and try to recruit some who can deal with trauma. Also, the vet can also recruit some appropriately, because this time I plan to train cavalry. However, you are a girl, and it is a bit dangerous to recruit troops alone, so let two soldiers of the brocade guard accompany you. ”

Zhu Cheng assigned two Jinyi guards with strong martial arts skills to accompany Ke Qingqing to recruit doctors and nurses.

The soldiers of the Jinyi Guard received the money, left the Huangzhuang one after another, and went to recruit troops. Only Wu Huping, Chen Guoqi, Chu Liang, and Jiang Ting were left in the imperial village.

Zhu Cheng asked, "Why didn't you recruit soldiers?" Don't you want to be a hundred? ”

Wu Huping said: "We are leaving, who will protect your safety?" ”

Zhu Cheng scratched his head and said a little ashamedly: "Oh, the recruitment is so good, I forgot to leave the guards." ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "Jiang Ting, you ride a fast horse to the capital and transfer fifteen guards from the children's paradise." ”

Jiang Ting took the order.

Zhu Youzhen said to Zhu Cheng: "Brother Cheng, we forgot a very important thing. ”

Zhu Cheng asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "You sent a hundred Jinyi guards to recruit soldiers, each of them can recruit a hundred soldiers, one hundred times one hundred equals ten thousand, you are only a thousand households, you should not be able to train so many soldiers." ”

Zhu Cheng was taken aback and forgot about this stubble.

Zhu Cheng pondered for a long time and said: "Let's take one step at a time, after recruiting soldiers, it is announced that the 3ooo people are Jinyi Guards, and the other 7ooo people are auxiliary soldiers." After the recruitment, Ah Jian, let's go to the palace together, explain this matter to the emperor, and see what the emperor's attitude is. ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "Can't we reduce the number of conscripts? ”

Zhu Cheng said: "The soldiers have already received the money and gone out, and the generals are the most jealous of the order to change the past." And we don't have much time, the Jiannu in the northeast, the Tartars in the north, and the red hairs on the sea are all eyeing the Ming Dynasty. If you can't train a strong army in a few years, how can you help the emperor guard the frontier? ”

When Zhu Youzhen heard that Daming was embattled, he was anxious, and said: "Anyway, the emperor's brother dotes on me very much, and I will go to the palace to play tricks when the time comes." ”

Zhu Cheng sighed and said, "I'm afraid this matter can't be tricked." ”

The two sighed together.

Zhu Cheng saw that Zhu Youzhen was listless, and comforted: "Maybe the soldiers can't recruit so many people, maybe we are worried in vain." ”

After arranging the conscription, Zhu Cheng devoted himself wholeheartedly to the rehearsal of the new drama "Du Shi Niang's Angry Sinking Treasure Chest".

Peking Opera is not popular in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the popular is Kunqu Opera, which is considered extremely elegant by later generations. However, Zhu Cheng does not like Peking Opera or Kunqu Opera, he prefers Yue Opera. A few of the palace maids brought out of the palace happened to be from Zhejiang, and they were very good at singing Yue Opera, so they were exempted from the effort of asking teachers in Zhejiang. In order to make the whole capital love Yue Opera, Zhu Cheng changed all the dialects in Yue Opera to Mandarin with correct words. It is precisely because of Zhu Cheng's vigorous promotion that the title of Peking Opera finally fell to Yue Opera.

After a few days, the Jinyi Guard 6, who went out to recruit troops, came back, and saw that each soldier had brought a full hundred recruits, although the smile on Zhu Cheng's face did not decrease, the gloom in his eyes became heavier and heavier.
