In the Qianqing Palace.

"Minister Li Banghua has seen Your Majesty."

Li Banghua saluted Zhu Yuanzhang directly.

"No excuses, sit down and talk."

Lao Zhu is still very polite to Li Banghua, Li Banghua can definitely be called a capable minister, before Chongzhen asked him to rectify the Beijing camp, he didn't take long to rectify the sound and impressive, and soon let the Beijing camp recover some combat effectiveness, and when Li Zicheng broke through Beijing, Li Banghua did not live and steal his life, and directly left a desperate poem, and then committed suicide and martyrdom.

But all those who dare to commit suicide and martyrdom are all loyal to the Ming Dynasty, so for these people, Lao Zhu still feels more at ease.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Banghua did not refuse, sat down directly on the chair brought by Wang Chengen, and then asked: "I don't know if Your Majesty summoned the ministers, is there something important?" ”

"We're not going around in circles with you anymore."

Lao Zhu spoke very directly, and said directly to the point: "Now that the Ming army is vacant, we want you to reorganize the Beijing camp, you have experience in this matter, and you will definitely be able to do it well." ”

"How's that, can you do it?"

"Reorganize the camp?"

When Li Banghua heard this, he looked at Lao Zhu's expectant look, and his face couldn't help but feel a little bitter.

Jingying is already a lot of people's money bags, and the rectification of Jingying is too offensive to people.

Last time, he worked hard to rectify the Beijing camp, and even did not hesitate to offend many nobles and ministers, so that the Beijing camp was rectified and restored to some combat strength.

But the result was the impeachment of countless ministers and nobles, and when the capital was defending Houjin, when the soldiers of the Beijing battalion opened artillery to aid Man Gui, they accidentally injured Man Gui's soldiers, and because of this, he was directly dismissed from office.

If it weren't for the fact that the current situation was too bad and there was no one available in the imperial court, I'm afraid he would still be idle at home.

It is precisely because of the fate of the last time that Li Banghua is actually a little resistant to Lao Zhu's proposal to rectify the Beijing camp.

After all, he worked hard for Chongzhen, and Chongzhen didn't support him, and sold him backhanded, which no one can accept.

And now, you think that the capital is short of troops, and you still want me to come out to rectify the Beijing camp to offend people, and when I am almost done, let you sell me again when the time comes?

Li Banghua felt that "Chongzhen" was a little too deceitful, which was obviously taking him as a fool.

"Your Majesty......"

Li Banghua was very hesitant in his heart, and wanted to refuse Zhu Yuanzhang, but thinking of the increasingly rampant Jiannu, he finally sighed in his heart, "Your Majesty, this matter can be done!" ”

“？”

This time it was Lao Zhu's turn to be stunned, to be honest, Lao Zhu didn't plan to say anything at all, Li Banghua would accept it.

After all, Chongzhen's loser stuff made Li Banghua too miserable, and Li Banghua is not a fool, how could he fall twice in the same place.

So Lao Zhu prepared a lot of conditions to express his support for Li Banghua, but he didn't expect that he hadn't said anything yet, Li Banghua actually agreed, and he didn't use any conditions at all.

Alas, this kind of person is really a fool.

Lao Zhu looked at Li Banghua, who was a little helpless, and couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart, and then his heart was full of anger, but this anger was against Chongzhen.

This little king and eight calves, this kind of minister doesn't know how to use, and he deserves to be the king of the country.

I'll be fine later, and I'll have to whip him again!

After booking a punch and kick package for Chongzhen in his heart, Lao Zhu calmed down a little, and then said: "Don't worry about it this time, do it boldly, we will fully support you." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Banghua's expression did not fluctuate in the slightest, because Chongzhen said the same thing last time, but the result was that he went home to retire, so Lao Zhu still said this now, which has no credibility.

Looking at Li Banghua, who didn't react in the slightest, Lao Zhu instantly understood that it must have been Chongzhen's sin, and couldn't help but scold again in his heart, "This little king and eight calves Chongzhen!" ”

However, scolding and scolding, things are still done, Lao Zhu directly opened his mouth and made a request: "Within five months, can you train an elite soldier who can go to the battlefield?" ”

"Five months?"

Li Banghua frowned instantly, five months is too short, if no one hinders him from practicing now, then five months is about the same.

But the problem is that Jingying involves a lot of interests, and he has a good experience from the last time, but the problem is that those with vested interests also have the experience of the last time.

Therefore, Li Banghua felt that it would take a month or two to solve the troubles caused by those people.

If we wait until the Beijing camp can really achieve sufficient food, it is estimated that five months have already passed.

Therefore, he shook his head and did not promise Lao Zhu, "Your Majesty, the lack of sound in the Beijing camp is serious, and it will take a long time to solve the problem of lack of sound, and if you want to train an elite army within five months, the minister really can't do it." ”

Lao Zhu didn't mind Li Banghua's refusal, and asked again: "Then what if we give you enough silver?" ”

"Does the treasury allocate money?"

Li Banghua subconsciously shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the war in Kaifeng is about to start, and the war over there is more important than military training. ”

"Now that the treasury is empty, the minister feels that it is best to keep a close eye on the army from all walks of life in the treasury first, and the matter of training troops should not be rushed."

"Don't worry, we know in our hearts that we won't touch the money in the treasury."

Lao Zhu looked at Li Banghua, who was old and serious, nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Let's ask you, if we can get you 500,000 taels of silver, can you train an elite soldier for us within five months." ”

"This elite army doesn't need too much, 20,000 people are enough."

"500,000 taels?"

Li Banghua looked at Lao Zhu with a resolute tone, and found that "Chongzhen" was different from before, and there was more meaning in his words and demeanor, which made people feel a little convincing when he said it.

Therefore, Li Banghua did not squirm, and directly responded: "If there are 500,000 taels, the minister guarantees that he can train 20,000 elite soldiers within five months." ”

"Okay."

Hearing Li Banghua's assurance, Lao Zhu was instantly relieved.

Because historically, because of the failure of the peace negotiation, Huang Taiji would send people into the customs to loot in October, which brought huge losses to the Ming Dynasty, and even King Lu was killed by those Jiannu, so Lao Zhu must train an elite soldier who can fight before October.

At this time, if Li Banghua doesn't agree, maybe he will have to go on it himself.

As for negotiating peace with Jiannu, he hadn't even thought about it.

It's not that he can't afford to lose that person, when he fought a decisive battle with Chen Youliang back then, in order to appease other forces, he could even do something to surrender to Yuan Meng and Zhang Shicheng, and he was afraid of losing this person.

The head can be low, but the question is whether the slave is worthy or not.

Even if there are Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong in the Ming Dynasty, he still owns at least half of the country.

Just Jiannu also wants him to bow his head and negotiate peace, what a big face!

This time, he was going to take advantage of Jiannu's fifth entry into the customs and plunder, and give Jiannu a ruthless blow.

Let them see the heroic style of Taizu who knows the Ming Dynasty, and let them know what he Zhu Yuanzhang relied on to build this country back then!
