With Liu Ruoyu to traffic for him, even if Zhu Cihong is outside the palace, he knows everything about the palace. This made him suddenly feel a sense of enlightenment, which he couldn't enjoy at all before. Although most of the information did not require Zhu Cihong to react, it could give him a sufficient sense of security. Let him have no worries, and focus on the construction of the East Palace Guard.

Liu Ruoyu's suggestion was very effective, and as soon as the impeachment of Zhou Jing had been going up for a long time, there was a central decree to allow Zhu Cihong to expand a battalion of Donggong Guards. According to the official military system of the Ming Dynasty, a battalion had about 3,000 to 4,000 people. According to the establishment of the Qi family's army, the number of the first battalion was stable between 2,600 and 3,200 people.

Although it is far from the 10,000-person guards originally envisioned by Zhu Cihong, it is not a good start. What's more, he simply does not have enough manpower under his command to recruit and train soldiers. According to everyone's thoughts, the prince should have selected guards from the left and right guards of Teng and Wu under the command of the Jingying and the Imperial Horse Supervisor, so that both officers and sergeants were ready-made.

However, Zhu Cihong once again proved that the Emperor Ming Empire had a prince who was not afraid of tossing. He did not reject the three major battalions of the Beijing Division, nor did he exclude the Imperial Horse Supervisor, but he was more inclined to choose soldiers who were innocent, hard-working, and obedient to orders.

Qi Jiguang recommended the Yiwu miners in his war book, believing that they were brave and good at fighting, and that they were easy to practice. In the early years of Chongzhen, there were also general soldiers who started from obeying slogans and paying attention to cooperation, and liked to recruit canal slender men for training.

Zhu Cihong doesn't know which one is better, but from the perspective of human resources, miners all over the world probably have a good psychological tolerance, otherwise they will collapse after a long time in the mine. The current mining cave protection measures of this era are far worse than those of later black coal kilns.

As the terminus of the Grand Canal, Beijing and Tianjin have a large number of slender men. These people live at the lowest strata of society, oppressed by bullies, and treated almost as consumables. Not to mention military salaries, as long as they are full, in their eyes, it is an extremely tempting beauty.

Since you don't know how deep the water is, why don't you try it all.

The first enlarged meeting of the East Palace was convened for the purpose of conscription. The meeting was presided over by Zhu Cihong, the crown prince of the Imperial Ming Dynasty, and the left concubine Wu Weiye recorded, and Liu Ruoyu, Song Hongye, Zhou Jing, and Tian Cunshan attended the meeting.

Looking at the few four or five people below, Wu Weiye was even more dazed and uneasy, which made Zhu Cihong sigh secretly. However, he quickly dispelled the negative emotions and said in a rare cheerful tone: "Now the East Palace team is also here, although there are fewer people, but they want to get things done. Today's topic is the selection of the guards of the East Palace, and the tone is set first: all the guards should take the good fighters as the yardstick. It is mainly selected from the riverside porters, miners, and coolies. Now, come out and listen to a charter. ”

Everyone quickly glanced at each other, Wu Weiye felt that he was a Jinshi Qingliu, and he had the highest rank here, so it was natural that he should go out of class first to reply. He lifted his sleeve slightly, and was about to get up, when he suddenly heard a dry cough, which made his legs weak in fright.

It was the prince who was about to speak.

"You don't understand anything, just keep a good record." Zhu Cihong unceremoniously blocked Wu Weiye's mouth.

Wu Weiye's eyes were dark, and he got the test language of "I don't understand anything", and his career in this life suddenly dimmed.

"Song Hongye, you say it first." Zhu Cihong said by name.

The others looked at this little official from the Terracotta Division, and their eyes were somewhat mixed with envy, jealousy, and hatred. In the habit of Ming Dynasty officialdom, officials with higher status and more importance had the power to speak first. Such people often have communicated with the emperor, which is equivalent to speaking for the saint and representing the hidden wind direction.

However, Zhu Cihong's habit is to start speaking from people with low status, so that they can not be influenced by people in high positions and it is easier for them to express their true views.

Song Hongye's heart was beating, and he was about to step forward to salute, when he heard the prince say, "Sit and talk." ”

"Yes." Song Hongye took a strong breath, and said in his mind: "There are only three thousand guards in the East Palace, even if it is one in a hundred, it is not impossible." It's just who to send to choose the striker, it's more important. ”

"Your Highness, I am willing to go!" Zhou Jing didn't want to fall to the same level as Tian Cunshan, so he naturally hoped that the new East Palace guards would be selected by himself and firmly in his own hands.

"I don't choose people from Jingwei and the three battalions, what I'm afraid of is that the accumulated habits are difficult to change." Zhu Cihong glanced at Zhou Jing coldly: "The newly elected person must be innocent, have no family members, bear hardships and stand hard work, and obey orders. Life is loveless, nature is not afraid of death, but wherever there is a glimmer of life, it will fight bravely. How many people who are wearing armor and eating imperial food can do it now? ”

Zhou Jing lowered his head, not daring to say anything more. He was quite aggrieved in his heart, in the palace before, even if his words were offended, the prince just smiled, why did he change as soon as he left the palace? This is obviously an attempt to exchange the old with the new and expel the old man of the East Palace in one fell swoop!

Song Hongye listened to the prince's clearer request, and had already sketched a standard image in his heart. He thought that this should not be difficult, and when he saw that Zhou Jing was refuted by the prince, he gritted his teeth and stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, you are willing to go!" ”

"Three thousand people is not a small number, my requirements are high, and the time limit is tight, what are your plans?" Zhu Cihong's tone suddenly softened, as if a loving father and a beloved son were talking.

"It's natural to be alone." Song Hongye's brain turned rapidly, and his forehead was faintly red: "When I was in the Soldiers and Horses Division, I knew a lot of three sects and nine streams in the market, and one of them was called Yaxing. He was afraid that the prince would grow up in the deep palace and didn't know what Yaxing meant, so he picked up the rhetoric and explained it simply and clearly.

In fact, the dental company is an economic company, doing intermediary business, or making a price difference, or earning a commission. Among them, there are different categories, each industry has official teeth, private teeth, in the business environment of the Ming Dynasty plays the dual role of lubricant and rat feces.

Song Hongye's tooth man mainly refers to human teeth.

This kind of profession similar to legal human traffickers is not welcomed in Daming, so it is also the most closed. Through the mantra passed down from generation to generation, they quickly analyze a person's future figure and appearance, so as to judge whether it is worth starting. If you make a mistake in judgment, this "goods" will be smashed in your own hands.

It sounds a bit like the slave trade, but it is undeniable that the Ming Dynasty did have this bad habit of human trafficking. Whether it is a thin horse in Yangzhou or a healthy servant, most of them are traded. As long as an ordinary tenant farmer has a bite to eat, how can he be willing to become a slave? It must be known that once you become a slave, three generations cannot take the imperial examination, and there is no hope of turning over.

As the saying goes: the car and ship shop has its feet, and the innocent should be killed.

This "tooth" is mostly human teeth.
