Chapter 402: Wandering at the Crossroads

Zhu Houzhao smiled indifferently and waved his hand: "Jiao Fang also wants to be in charge of the government, if the new army is really held in my hands, he will be the first assistant, isn't it tasteless?" Hehe, these civil officials have been in power for too long, and they have no fear of the royal family, and they are delusional! Brother Wei is right, if you don't hurt them, you won't be in a situation after all!"

Liu Jin wanted to speak and stopped, and Zhu Houzhao laughed: "You don't have to worry about me! Brother Wei and I will never fight among ourselves at this time. Liu Banban, I know your loyalty, but there are priorities, don't focus on Brother Wei in the future. Hum! Do you know what Brother Wei and I said? Even if the two of us fight in the end, it will be meat rotting in the pot! That's right, the world is my Zhu family, and I'd rather let Brother Wei sit in this position than be an emperor who is not worthy of the name!"

Liu Jin sighed, no longer talking about this topic, but talked about the military system: "Long live the master, is it the one who summoned the Xu family? Tell me about the New Army and see what he thinks."

Zhu Houzhao shook his head: "This kind of thing can only be a quick knife to cut through the mess, Liu Banban, do you think Zhang Mao is not interested in the new army?" Or did he not have anyone to stuff into the new army?"

Liu Jin bent down and admitted his mistake in fear: "Long live the master, the slave maid thought badly."

Zhu Houzhao stood up and walked around the hall: "It's nothing, you didn't mean it. Liu Banban, you grow up quickly, I need help! Hum! I understand my father's situation back then, no wonder I have hidden Brother Wei for five years, if not, even the royal family will not be able to protect Brother Wei!"

Liu Jin knelt down on both knees: "The slave and maid are not successful, and they have disappointed the Lord of Long Life."

"Get up! Yang Tinghe and you go around there a lot, without the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, the weapons of the new army can not be equipped. Relying on Nanjing alone is not a long-term solution!"

Yang Ting and this guy are not good birds, Liu Jin raised his head: "Long live the master, the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau is so important, the slave maid feels that the inner court should send someone to station. It's not that the slave can't trust Yang Tinghe, uh, well, the slave just can't trust Yang Tinghe, he's also a scholar!"

Zhu Houzhao sighed: "Get up, I also know that Confucian disciples are unreliable, but I have no one to use!" I thought that the civil officials who came up could also use it, but who knew that Jiao Fang's warning would look like this. I don't blame you, only those who have cultivated themselves will be loyal, and other people's will be someone else's after all. Hasn't Jiang Bin returned from Anhui yet?"

"It's back, and we're back and forth. The slave and maid sent someone to call me?"

"Well, it's a pity that after the First Battle of Tumubao, alas, I won't talk about it. Dayong, I asked you to prepare the West Factory before leaving Beijing, how about now?"

Gu Dayong immediately ran over and knelt on the ground: "Long live Lord, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!"

"Well, Liu Banban, I will make a holy decree, from now on, the West Factory will be reopened, and the hundred officials will be supervised, and I want them to be in fear all day long!"

After lunch, Jiang Bin entered the Wenhua Palace. Zhu Houzhao beckoned directly: "Lao Jiang, don't use those."

Jiang Bin grinned and got up from the ground: "Long live, isn't this a day since I saw the holy face? You have to kowtow to Banzai, or you won't be happy."

Zhu Houzhao laughed: "Still sage? You're far-fetched! Come on, tell me how things are going in Anhui!"

"Anhui is already the world of King Wu, and every time those officials return to Anhui from Nanjing, they have to visit King Wu. Although the governors above the capital are all sent by the capital, the officials below are all promoted by the officials, and they are not all the way from above. These officials who have been transferred from the Tan officials will not be affected by the Beijing inspection for three years, and the Nanjing officials will be directly appointed and dismissed, and the province will only have the right to make suggestions, and they will not be able to interfere."

Zhu Houzhao listened very carefully, Jiang Bin quietly looked at Zhu Houzhao's expression as he spoke, and was surprised by the position of King Wu in Zhu Houzhao's heart.

"Jiang Bin, King Wu and I are one heart, don't think about it. This errand was well done! Well, Jiang Bin, you have made great contributions, I will give you a chance. The 12 battalions in the capital were abolished, and I wanted to form a new army. Would you rather be the commander of the first division or continue to stay in Jinyiwei?"

Jiang Bin was stunned, his mind was racing, and after a while, he said calmly: "Long live Since you asked, the minister still wants to return to the army."

Zhu Houzhao smiled with satisfaction: "Clever ghost! Okay, you are the commander of the second division of the new army, and you will hang up the third rank of the cavalry captain

Will. Liu Jin, move a chair, Jiang Bin, sit."

Although Jiang Bin said that his mind was still mush, he generally understood that the commander of the second division was still more important than the commander of Jinyiwei. "Jiang Bin, why did you choose to return to the army?"

"Long live, since Long Live has given the position of commander of the Chen Jinyi Guard, and now that he has brought up the new army, there must be a difficulty. Jiang Bin, I don't have any skills, but this loyalty is no worse than others, long live where Jiang Bin is needed, Jiang Bin is there!"

"Good! I took your heart! Jiang Bin, the Cooking Wolf Army is the foundation laid by King Wu, and I want to use the men and horses of the Cooking Wolf Army to set up a new army to replace the 12 battalions in the capital. Jiang Bin, these two divisions are A divisions, this is my initial idea, you go back and take a good look. Write a note and hand it over, I want to read it!"

After Jiang Bin left, Liu Jin asked tentatively, "Long live the Lord, that Jinyi Wei?"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes jumped, and he said with a smile: "You can take care of the East Factory, Jinyiwei's affairs, don't ask about it in the future."

Liu Jin's heart was beating wildly, could it be that Long Live Lord is tired of me? It doesn't look like it. Zhu Houzhao saw Liu Jin's nervous appearance, and couldn't bear it: "Liu Companion, I don't mean anything else. Alas, people's energy is limited, and if you use all your brains to the court, I can relax a little."

On the second day, Li Dongyang and several other cabinet elders arrived as scheduled. Zhu Houzhao cheered up and greeted him with a smile.

"Your Majesty, yesterday the ministers and a few others discussed the matter of the new army for a long time, and this matter should be postponed."

It was Liu Zhong who was charging forward this time, Zhu Houzhao smiled, and leaned back: "Master Liu, how to slow it down?"

"Your Majesty, the twelve battalions in the capital have a large number of people, and even if they break up the selection, it will take time. There are also changes in the powers of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, the Soldiers and Horses Division of the Five Cities, and there are many trivial matters, so in the opinion of the ministers, the Military Aircraft Department should be set up under the cabinet first, and the capable officials should be selected to select talents, so that it is easy to do such a big thing!"

Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly, he could hear the point of Liu Zhong's words. Under the Cabinet, doesn't that mean that the Military Aircraft Department should be under the leadership of the Cabinet? So what's the point of messing with this military aircraft department? However, Zhu Houzhao now has some city government, and asked quietly, "What kind of talents should be selected by the Military Aircraft Department?"

The play meat is coming! Liu Zhong shook his spirit: "Your Majesty, no matter who is chosen, this person must be both virtuous and capable, and must also have a certain understanding of military affairs in the army, and the minister recommends Yang Yiqing!"
