was originally a mausoleum guard sergeant with no status, but he became the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and this change is not insignificant.

These new pro-army soldiers also remembered Zhu Cihong's words, to be precise, Fang Cai's last sentence.

Except for the words of the current emperor, the words of others are all farts!

After a few words, more than 1,300 filial piety guards who died in history were included, and Zhu Cihong was very happy.

But turn your head and look at it, what kind of army are these ragged armies like the Son of Heaven?

My pro-army naturally wants to use the best standard equipment in Nanjing, so it's not okay to wear it like a flower child to the battlefield!

So, Zhu Cihong shook his hand and said, "You all go to the arsenal with me, pick up weapons, and change armor!" ”

Soon, the group arrived at the arsenal in Nanjing.

In the Ming Dynasty, there are armament depots in the north and south of Beijing, which are managed by the Qing Calendar Division of the Ministry of War, and the subordinate officials are one of the Lang Zhong, the rank is five products, and one person is outside the Lang, from the five products, two people in charge, and six products.

After Zhu Di moved the capital, he still retained the official positions of the six ministries in Nanjing, so the Nanjing Military Department also had an arsenal and a clear official department, and the official positions were the same.

Of course, even if they had to go to the armament depot to count the weapons, they couldn't all of them, and more than 1,000 people walked on the street, and those who didn't know thought that the officers and soldiers had bombed the camp.

You must know that the word bombing the camp, the people can be said to talk about the tiger's color.

The passage of the rogue generally does not hurt people's lives, and most of them mainly destroy crops and fields and houses, and gather crowds, but if they are soldiers who bomb the camp, then they can only be described in one sentence.

"Fellow, borrow your leader to lead a military feat."

Once the officers and soldiers bomb the camp, they will not only want the property of the field house, but even your head will be cut off as a reward for military merits.

As an ordinary ordinary person, the most valuable thing for officers and soldiers on your body is that it can be worth the head of a rogue.

This kind of thing has long been commonplace now, and it is not uncommon at all, especially in the four towns of Jiangbei, except for Huang Degong's subordinates, the rest are like this.

Therefore, the people in many places are more afraid when they see the officers and soldiers than when they see the rogues.

This is also the reason why in history before the Taqing issued the "head shaving order", the whole country has not formed a united front to resist the Qing.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhu Cihong only took Han Zanzhou, the commander of the Beijing camp, and Mei Chun and more than a dozen personal soldiers with the command of Xiaolingwei.

"Who are you?"

There was a table and chair at the door of the arsenal, and the little official in the officer's uniform was dozing off, and when he saw a group of people coming in the distance, he immediately stood up and shouted loudly.

Han Zanzhou was not ambiguous at all, he slapped the girl when he went up, and scolded thoughtfully: "I really blind your dog's eyes, I can't see that this is today's saint!" ”

Who is the new Emperor Shaowu, this main matter is indeed unknown, if everyone knows the prince of the previous dynasty, no matter how Zhu Cihong pretends to be, it is impossible to succeed in seizing the throne.

But Han Zanzhou, the chief eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch of the seal, is a man of the hour in Nanjing, so he is naturally very familiar with it.

The principal immediately recognized who was beating him, and his anger turned into a flattering look, covering the red slap marks on his face, and said with a smile:

"The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he doesn't know that His Majesty is coming."

"It's just..., this is out of the palace according to the regular system, and the Ministry of Rites should have sent someone to inform me first, but the little one didn't get the news in advance."

Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "It was my temporary intention, and I don't blame the Ministry of Rites." ”

"I ask you, how many ordnance armor battles exist in the Nanjing Arsenal?"

As he spoke, Zhu Cihong stepped into the warehouse with one foot.

The smell of the whole Nanjing military warehouse is strong, damp and wet, and the cobwebs are dense, giving people a feeling as if no one has been here for 800 years.

At first glance, the armor, flags, and muskets were all scattered on the ground.

Zhu Cihong casually picked up a pair of cloth face armor, the armor had already been covered with dust, and there were no traces of the original at all.

The principal hurriedly followed, and said cautiously:

"Back to Your Majesty, this Nanjing Arsenal has always been used for emergencies, and the last time it was opened was during the Jingtai period, the specific number ......"

"Emergency, the situation in the imperial court is not urgent enough?" Zhu Cihong asked rhetorically, suddenly realized something, and said with a smile:

"You mean to say that you, the head of the Clearance Department of the Ministry of War, don't know the specific number of arsenals?"

"I heard you right, right?"

After speaking, Zhu Cihong's footsteps stopped.

The chief knew the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty forgives the sin, the minister really doesn't know the list of the Nanjing Arsenal. ”

"The minister's uncle is a senior scholar in the cabinet, and His Majesty can go and ask the ministries."

"Heh, what a senior scholar in the Cabinet Department, what do you want to do when you talk to me about this?" Zhu Cihong sneered.

Good guy, you know that you are a little in charge, and you have to crush the members of the Donglin Party, right?

Okay, then I'll see if Gao Hongtu can give you a head!

Zhu Cihong didn't kill the originally, but when he heard this, he couldn't swallow this breath anymore.

"Han Zanzhou, I ask you, as the head of the Nanjing Arsenal, I don't know the number of battles, what crime should I be guilty of?"

The master's eyes widened, he didn't expect this emperor to be so stubborn.

He glanced to the side, and a small official from the arsenal saw this and quietly ran out to report the news.

Han Zanzhou, who had been in the sea for half his life, naturally understood what the emperor meant by asking this in front of everyone.

It's forcing yourself to take sides!

In this situation, it is obvious where he should stand as a former "eunuch".

Han Zanzhou did not hesitate, and said respectfully: "Returning to Your Majesty, it is a crime of dereliction of duty, and you should be dismissed from your post and reinstated in accordance with the law." ”

"It's too light, can I add one?" Zhu Cihong asked.

Han Zanzhou hesitated: "Why did Your Majesty say this? ”

"Your Majesty is my great son, and if the Son of Heaven wants to punish his courtiers, he has to obey them."

Zhu Cihong smiled.

"But I was too worried, so I sentenced him to a decisive decision. Mei Chun, are you willing to use this knife for me? ”

Mei Chun immediately stepped forward and said, "The minister is willing." ”

He pulled out the waist knife on his waist that had not been unsheathed for I don't know how many years, stepped forward and swung it down, and a miserable scream came to an abrupt end, and blood splashed everywhere.

Everyone else was dumbfounded, unable to believe that this scene would really happen.

The blood rushed to Zhu Cihong's face, smelling the smell of blood close at hand, and Zhu Cihong's belly turned over and over.

However, Zhu Cihong also knew that if he looked a little disgusting now, it would have a great backlash in the soldiers' hearts.

Be calm, be calm......

Zhu Cihong turned around, couldn't see the bloody decapitation scene, felt a little more comfortable in his abdomen, raised his hand and said:

"Tell the Ministry of Rites to send a new director to the arsenal to take office, now is an extraordinary period, and the extraordinary system should be used."

"All the weapons and armor in the arsenal will be used exclusively by the twenty-six guards of my own army in the future, and those who do not follow can be killed today!"

Mei Chun and Han Zanzhou looked awe-inspired, and said in unison: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

At this moment, Han Zanzhou suddenly felt.

Regardless of this Emperor Shaowu, whether his true identity is the crown prince of the first emperor or not, from now on, he must and can only be the crown prince of the first emperor.

This question can only rot in my heart in the future.

As for Mei Chun, he didn't care if it was true or not, he was loyal to the person who brought them out of Xiaolingwei, not the identity of Prince Chongzhen.

When the soldiers of Xiaolingwei began to distribute the armor, swords and guns of the arsenal, a person stood in front of the door.

"Xiaosheng Zheng Sen, who is the prisoner of Nanjing, is now in a national crisis, a dignified seven-foot man, since he should abandon his pen and follow Rong, fight for his family and country, and die."

"I heard that His Majesty has formed the 26th Guard of the pro-army, and the blood of the little student is stirring, and I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!"

Zhu Cihong actually didn't expect that Mei Chun could be honest like this, and he asked him to cut people, and he cut them directly in front of him.

Won't it be dragged out and cut again?

was slowing down, but I heard someone calling at the door, and I didn't pay attention to it at first, but after a while, I suddenly reacted.

Zheng Sen, why is this name so familiar?

Wait a while, won't it be Zheng Chenggong, the national surname who will recover the treasure island in the future?
