Chapter 30: Brotherly Harmony

"Do you have a map?"

Zhu Youzhen didn't know much about the Miyun area, so he subconsciously asked, and after Wang Chengen heard it, he hurriedly asked the little eunuch to get the map.

Soon, the little eunuch retrieved the map.

Wang Chengen spread the map on the table, although the map was not as intuitive as the satellite maps and topographic maps of later generations, but he could still see a lot of things.

Zhu Youzhen took a look, and then pointed to the hilly road in the area of the stone box camp in the northeast of Miyun:

"Is this where the people are farming, or is it where Mi Yunwei is farming?"

"Mi Yunwei is farming, and the grain he cultivates is directly sent to the stone box camp."

"The stone box battalion has 3,000 people, stationed here, if Baimaguan and Huangyakou in the northwest and Gubeikou in the north are attacked by the northern captives, they can go to support."

"How's the Stonebox Battalion's combat power?" Zhu Youzhen suddenly said this, which made Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen look at each other.

Zhu Youzhen glanced at them, and then he reacted, these two people are eunuchs, and they don't think about this kind of martial arts.

Zhu Youzhen can only make an analysis based on some military books he read when he was a big-headed soldier in his previous life.

I have to say that the position of the stone box camp is very critical, once Gubeikou, Baima Pass, and Huangyakou are breached, the stone box camp can hold on to this three-way pass, waiting for reinforcements from the capital.

But once the stone box battalion was completely annihilated, then it would be the Hebei Plain, and the Mongol cavalry in the north could drive straight down to the capital.

Perhaps in the eyes of the empty salary at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the stone box battalion as a sentry system did not have 3,000 people.

But in terms of status, even if it is lacking, the combat power will not be weak, and if you can't beat Houjin, you can still beat the Mongols.

However, with only 3,000 people, as long as he connects the warrior battalion in the Imperial Horse Prison, he can completely replace the position of the stone box battalion.

At that time, the hundreds of thousands of acres of cultivated land in the stone box camp will be completely used by the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

Thinking about it like this, Zhu Youzhen had an idea in his heart, and immediately said:

"Don't buy wasteland first, and when the imperial brother ascends the throne in three days, I will leave for Changping."

"The slave maid immediately asked the people of Changping to build a resting place for His Highness." Wang Chengen replied quickly, but Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said:

"It's built according to the martial arts arena and barracks I said before, and it's the same when I live in the barracks."

"Also, where are the Zhejiang soldiers?"

Zhu You checked the time, six or seven days had passed since the Zhejiang soldiers entered Beizhili, and he thought that he should be about to arrive in the capital.

His words gave Wang Chengen a chance to perform, and he had been paying attention to the movements of the Zhejiang soldiers and the Shizhu Tusi soldiers, and hurriedly replied:

"The Zhejiang soldiers have arrived in Cangzhou, and it is estimated that they will be able to reach the capital in six days."

"Well......" Hearing this, Zhu Youzhen said:

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll just go to the Qianqing Palace and ask the imperial brother for something."

Zhu Youzhen walked towards the door, and when Cao Huachun saw this, he hurriedly ran out of the palace and asked someone to prepare the car.

The so-called carriage is not a carriage or a sedan chair, but a car pulled by a person.

In terms of identity, this kind of public opinion is not something that Zhu Youzhen can sit, because this is what the emperor can sit.

But during the national funeral, Zhu Youxiao knew that Zhu Youzhen walked to the hall every day, so he asked him to get him a simple car.

When Zhu Youzhen walked to the gate of the palace, Cao Huachun was already standing next to the car with two little eunuchs.

Because he couldn't sit on the emperor's specifications, the internal officials and supervisors used ordinary wood to paint several times and built a roof, which was equivalent to a chariot in disguise.

In front of the chariot was a rickshaw-like shelf, Zhu Youzhen sat on the cart with the support of Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun, and a eunuch hurriedly put the shelf on his shoulders and began to pull up the cart diligently.

This car weighs no more than 100 pounds, the two wooden wheels share the strength, and Zhu Youzhen is only ten years old at the moment, and his weight is only sixty or seventy pounds, so it is still very light to pull up.

The two eunuchs swapped carts with each other and were not very tired.

Not long after, Zhu Youzhen made a big circle from the East Palace and came to the gate of the Qianqing Palace.

I don't know if Wei Zhongxian called someone to ventilate, this time when Zhu Youzhen came, no one dared to stop him at all, and the Jingjun opened the door and let Che Yu enter the Qianqing Palace.

Far away, a eunuch standing at the gate of the Qianqing Palace entered the hall and sang a salute cleverly:

"Long live, the Fifth Highness has come down."

"Brother is here?" Hearing that Zhu Youzhen was coming, Zhu Youxiao, who had just finished eating, sat on the couch, leaned on the desk and looked at the music, so he closed the music and hurriedly went to the ground.

"Hooray, hooray, shoes haven't been worn yet!"

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao was not wearing shoes, he went to the ground with socks, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly carried his shoes and followed behind Zhu Youxiao.

When Zhu Youzhen got out of the car, he happened to see Zhu Youxiao wearing socks out of the palace.

"Why doesn't my brother wear shoes?"

"Huh?" Hearing Zhu Youzhen's questioning suspiciously, Zhu Youxiao realized that he was not wearing shoes.

He raised his feet, and Wei Zhongxian hurriedly knelt on the ground to help him put on his shoes.

"Why did my brother have the heart to come to me?" Zhu Youxiao asked people to help put on shoes while asking Zhu Youzhen with a smile.

"What are you talking about, brother?" Zhu Youzhen was a little embarrassed.

He thought about it, and he seemed to be really a cheap brother who came to him every time he had something, but the other party didn't get angry with him every time.

Thinking of this, he could only touch the back of his head, and Zhu Youxiao was also amused by his embarrassed appearance.

"I won't tease you, what is my brother doing?" Zhu Youxiao said, and took Zhu Youzhen's hand and walked towards the hall.

Seeing this, Zhu Youzhen said:

"It's just that I just calculated, and there is something wrong with the quotation of the Imperial Tomb of the Ministry of Industry."

"They quoted 1.5 million taels, but in fact, 1.4 million taels can be done."

"In addition, I heard that the Zhejiang soldiers have arrived in Cangzhou, so I want to ask the Zhejiang soldiers to help me train the four guards and the first battalion and the three guards of Yulin."

"A month later, when the Tusi soldiers of the stone pillar arrived, the younger brother accompanied the imperial brother, hoping that the imperial brother would give them 200,000 taels of silver, and then send them to Liaodong."

"Hmm......" Hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, Zhu Youxiao also led him to sit on the couch.

He pondered for a moment, and then muttered: "If the Zhejiang soldiers and Tusi soldiers really have the combat power that my brother said, then 200,000 taels is not a big deal. ”

"It's not impossible to train the army, but I'm afraid I won't be able to practice any tricks for just a month."

"However, there is a problem with the quotation of the Ministry of Industry, and my younger brother can find out in one day, which is really not easy."

"That's not all." Zhu Youzhen added after Zhu Youxiao finished speaking:

"Speaking of which, I'm afraid that my brother will be angry, there are 25,400 people in the four guards and one battalion of the Imperial Horse Prison on the surface, but in fact they are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and there are less than 10,000 young and middle-aged people."

"Among these 10,000 young and middle-aged people, there are not a few people who cheat and cheat, and perhaps there are less than 5,000 people who can really use them for military training."

As soon as Zhu Youzhen said this, Zhu Youxiao's brows immediately furrowed, obviously very displeased.

But he was deeply guided by Emperor Wanli, and knew that the emperor could not be angry on the surface, so he held back his anger and said:

"What is my brother going to do?"

Zhu Youxiao already knew from the last incident that his good brother knew the soldiers, but it was only on paper after all, so he wanted to know what his younger brother wanted to do in the face of the situation of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

Seeing this, Zhu Youzhen also slowly spoke: "Brother ...... minister"
