The plan was made.

The next step is execution.

Everything went quite smoothly, and the loan of 700 million silver dollars was quickly approved by Tianxiatong Bank, because the collateralized assets were sufficient, and there was no reason not to lend.

Then it's about recruiting and buying weapons.

It is now a time of peace, and many forces are disarming, all of which are reducing their own burdens, or putting a large number of soldiers and letting them go to work in factories and work on construction sites, bringing additional economic benefits, but it is really not possible, so they simply dismiss the army, recruit all of them into the dispatch company, and do any work, and simply raise a large army, which consumes too much money, is not cost-effective at all, and is not cost-effective.

Although there are tens of thousands of soldiers, they only engage in military training for two or three months a year, and most of the time they are scattered to factories and construction sites, acting as a useful labor force.

Like Zhu Youzhen, who is purely recruiting troops, conducting training with great fanfare, and cultivating the posture of elite soldiers, it really scares the surrounding forces.

Even Guan Ningjun has a vigilant mentality, I don't know what the emperor wants to do, whether he wants to toss what action to make everyone uneasy?

Privately.

These military leaders, large and small, also discussed through the radio network, wondering what the emperor was doing?

Wang Hong said: "Hasn't the emperor been lying flat in the past few years, indulging in the wine of beautiful women every day, fat to more than 200 catties, not daring to do anything big, everyone is basically related, such a comfortable and good day, but what does the emperor want to do, he can't think about it, what action are he going to take?" ”

Yang Yufan said: "It is very likely, the current emperor, it is estimated that the beauties have had enough, the food has eaten enough, and he wants to make some achievements, and he wants to revive his imperial power, but the "Oriental Times" has already said countless times, the times have changed, the supreme imperial power is something that will exist in the era of ignorance, and now that the wisdom of the people has been opened, there is nothing that is the highest and most supreme thing, only the truth has such a status, but our emperor just wants to go back to the past era and pull all of us back, Accompany him to play the game of imperial supremacy. ”

Deng Xi said: "We still have to be on guard, the emperor did not have good intentions this time, I still remember that a few years ago he carried out reforms, treated civil officials as leeks and cut, killed hundreds of people, got hundreds of millions of silver dollars, and did not have enough manpower available, it can be seen that in some aspects, the emperor of the Zhu family has inherited the character of Ming Taizu, that is, he is too brutal and too easy to kill, and always thinks that he can solve all problems by killing, in fact, the problem is still there, I understand that now the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty are more greedy and exploit the people more powerfullyIf it weren't for the rapid development of the productive forces, the people would have risen up long ago, and only some of the industries we operate have been protected by the barrel of a gun, otherwise they would all have closed down under the knocking of the bones of the civil officials. ”

Guan Ningjun's spokesman Wu Xiang said: "A few old brothers and brothers are right, the emperor's moves, we still have to take precautions, hey, in fact, the current Ming Dynasty has developed to such a rich stage, the emperor and the like, it is not particularly needed for a long time, it should be abolished, but Xu Jiazhuang thinks it is better to keep it, otherwise our forces, why do we often feel thorns in the back?" The emperor's opinion of us is too great, we offer hundreds of thousands of taels every year, and send a lot of rare treasures, hoping to make the emperor happy and stop hating us, but it has no effect, it just wants to suppress us and force us to make concessions, and it is best to hand over all the benefits and let them out, so that he can be satisfied. ”

Zuo Liangyu said: "Yes, in fact, we are still the original loyal ministers and good generals, as long as the court is in need, the Mongolian tribes outside the Saiwai, the thieves in the northwest, and those indigenous thieves in the south, we will immediately flatten, help the Ming Dynasty open up its territory, and bring more benefits to the Ming Dynasty, but we have done so many good things, the emperor doesn't praise us much, and he is still guarding against us everywhere, which is really chilling, and our emperor is too cold." ”

Zu Dabi expressed his opinion and said: "No way, this is our fate, it is difficult to change if you want to, maybe when the next emperor comes up, the situation should be much better, so that more people can live in peace of mind, instead of tossing so many things." ”

Zuo Guangxian said: "Anyway, no matter what, we just keep a close eye on it, if the emperor wants to make any big moves, if he wants to move one or several of us, then we will advance and retreat together, and we will never compromise, we can't let the emperor feel that we are weak and can be bullied, the power we unite, the emperor is far from being able to compare, we are actually stronger, if the emperor is going to do something blind, we can only be forced to make a move, do something unbearable, it's a big deal to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascend the throne in advance, And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is completely on our side, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can fight for it very well. ”

Hong Chengchou, who is far away in the Indian Peninsula, also sent a wireless telegram and said: "The matter over there in the Ming Dynasty, I have been beyond the reach of the whip, you can do it yourself, we are thinking about how to let those farmers do more work, instead of thinking about being lazy and lying flat every day, and want to use starvation in exchange for a good birth in the next life, in reality, it is clear that as long as you grow one acre of land, you can get two or three hundred catties of grain, but they would rather lie under the tree and be lazy, I am a little helpless against them." ”

Liu Zeqing replied: "Governor, isn't this problem easy to solve?" That is to kill, as long as you cut off a few heads, as long as you kill a lot, you are afraid of killing, and the rest will only obediently pick up a hoe to work, you are still too kind, your heart is not ruthless enough, if you are someone else, you will have made a fortune a long time ago, and you are guarding the gold mine as a food. ”

Ai Wannian said teasingly: "Yes, Dudu, you have become kinder than before, in the past, you took us to kill the extremely ruthless Dudu, but you actually have a bodhisattva heart, in a place full of gold, you have not become very fond of making money, if you can, I want to change with Dudu, maybe I would have made a fortune a long time ago." ”

The leaders of the army chatted in the wireless telegraph, and gradually ran to other topics, and the building became more and more crooked.

Time flies.

More than three months later.

In the blink of an eye, it was June of the twenty-first year of Chongzhen.

After more than three months of all-out training, the 500,000 elite royal legion that Zhu Youzhen wanted was finally successfully built.

It is completely based on Xujiazhuang's training methods.

Weapons produced by the most sophisticated Xujiazhuang arsenal were purchased.

And there is enough food and enough food, big fish and meat every day, and the food is very good.

Elite.

The 500,000-strong royal legion presented in front of him gave people a feeling of being so elite that it was terrifying, and no matter what angle it looked at, it was not easy to provoke.

And after three months.

Noticed that the royal legion, every day in the drills, did not do anything else, the surrounding military leaders, but gradually relaxed their vigilance, and put their energy on how to make money, do not pay much attention to this matter, after all, in this golden age everywhere, opportunities are as dense as raindrops, as long as you seize it, you can make a lot of money, Wang Hong, Yang Yufan and other military leaders, also indulged in this crazy grasp of business opportunities, crazy money-making feeling, lost the initial vigilance, did not notice at all, A great net of conspiracy has opened up against them.

Late March.

The Royal Legion, which had completely finished its training, suddenly divided into three routes, engaged in long-distance armed training, and went straight to Tongzhou, Tianjin, and Jimen, each of which had as many as 100,000 people.

And the elite of these royal legions, after breaking into the three places, immediately set up camp, prepared for a long-term garrison, and set up a law enforcement team, with the emperor's holy decree to them, specifically looking for those who have been violated and have been wronged, to take the initiative to help them out, take the initiative to fight criminals for them, to represent the royal family, to send them warmth and justice, let them know that the sky above their heads is cyan, it belongs to the emperor, what grievances and injuries they have suffered, Someone will help them right away, no matter who hurt them.

Suddenly I heard that there was such a good thing.

A small number of people who felt that they had nowhere to redress their grievances for various reasons suddenly seized this opportunity, grabbed the ground with their heads one by one, and shouted loudly:

"You can be regarded as coming, my family's land, more than three acres of water by the river, Tongzhou Army felt that it was suitable to build a factory, so they occupied my family's land, and compensated 10 silver dollars, and sent us away, my father argued with him, but was kicked to the ground, and died in a few days, Soldier, Tongzhou Army is not a thing, please be sure to be the master of the small people!"

"Xiaomin's land, also because of its proximity to the railway, was forcibly expropriated and a very profitable warehouse was built, and Xiaomin didn't get any compensation, so it was occupied in vain."

"The soldiers of the Tianjin Army, come to eat in the villain's shop, often do not give money on credit, have accumulated hundreds of silver dollars, can not be accumulated, the villain's restaurant is about to close down, can not continue to operate, do not cash in the white slip, my store can only close."

"A hundred presidents of the thistle gates, seeing that my daughter-in-law is beautiful, actually took my daughter-in-law away directly, my two children have no mother, I want to go to my daughter-in-law to come back, but I was beaten by the general manager, and one of my arms was broken, the emperor, let us call the shots, help bring my daughter-in-law back?"

"Help, Emperor, I originally opened a very good factory at home, and I figured out some very good processing technology, but I was targeted by the Jimen Army, and I was forced to hand over the technology, the villain did not agree, they caught the villain, tortured, tortured for more than a year, the villain had no choice but to hand over the technology, and was released, but the factory at home has been closed, the family has been scattered, and the property is gone, I myself have become a lonely person, lonely, the emperor, help, make the villain the master."

"I was also hurt by a nephew of Yang Yufan, and was framed by the other party for setting up a gambling game, but I was lucky, and I still won 100,000 silver dollars from the other party, but I didn't expect Yang Yufan, a nephew, to slander me out of a thousand years, directly let people cut off my hand, and also occupied the villain's family property, the villain has no way to redress his grievances, no one helps us, the emperor is a benefactor, like a rain from heaven to save me!"

“……”

In the process of helping the people to make decisions.

The eucalyptus found by the royal legion that the interests of the people have been violated are simply everywhere and shocking, and there are thousands of them in every place, and the victims are countless.

Although it is undeniable that some eucalyptus seeds are not as simple as they seem, and they may not want to be victims' unilateral statements, most of the eucalyptus seeds are obviously true, and the military leaders of these three places have indeed brought a lot of disasters to the local people.

And then there's the arrest.

Arrest people on a large scale.

In just a few days, the royal legion arrested thousands of criminals and the people who shielded them, and hundreds of people were arrested every day, and then tried and convicted.

Just clutching and crying.

The officers and men of the Tongzhou Army, the Tianjin Army, and the Jimen Army were captured a lot, and a lot of troops were lost.

So he wanted to get back to the field, organized a force of thousands of people, armed with sticks and weapons, and stormed the royal barracks, but in the face of the royal legion with dozens of times the superiority in strength, he did not have the slightest advantage at all, and was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, suffered a heavy defeat, and was detained, was not released back, and lost his personal freedom.

In a hurry.

This made Wang Hong, Yang Yufan, and Deng Xi anxious.

Immediately sent an emissary to negotiate, but to no avail, the Royal Legion just wouldn't let them go.

In the end, they got a reply, if they want to put it in, the three of them must go to the capital and explain to the emperor face to face why there are so many traitors in their territory, and the interests of the people are harmed, and they need to give an explanation.

In the face of such a request.

Helpless, Wang Hong and the other three had to take a lot of money and go to the capital to apologize to the emperor - they originally thought that this time the emperor should be greedy for money and wanted to salvage a sum from them, so they deliberately found fault and found trouble, but they were also caught, so they could only choose to admit it.

But what they didn't expect was that Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of Chongzhen, couldn't look down on the three melons and two dates they sent at all, Zhu Youzhen was eyeing all their net worth, all their accumulation over the years, and they had to swallow their territory and take all their industries.
