This time, when the Guards returned from the expedition, I don't know how many officers can be named dukes, earls and marquises.

Ma Yun naturally wanted to go to the Guards to make some contributions, so that he could leave something for his children in the future.

Zhu Youzhen held a court meeting the next day, and in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, he gave an impassioned speech.

It's nothing more than some cliché.

He became this emperor for the sake of the subjects of the world, and for the sake of this man who was a man of civil and military integrity in the Manchu Dynasty.

He was already wrong about being called the emperor, but this was irreparable, but his brother Zhu Youxiao reused eunuchs and traitorous ministers, so he had no way to return the throne to his brother.

Even if he is the whole world, he has ripped off this face.

He decided to defend the capital, and to recruit strong men in the capital who were willing to help defend the capital, recruit them to defend the city walls or provide logistical help

"Li Qiyuan!"

Li Qiyuan, the head of the household, hurriedly stood up, but there was something else in his eyes.

"I want you to recruit more than 100,000 strong men within three days to assist the army in defending the city."

When Li Qiyuan heard this, he was a little stunned.

Zhu Youzhen, who was above, heard that he didn't answer for a long time, and he was already a little angry on the spot.

He asked coldly, "What?" Hube Shangshu, you have to tell me, you can't do this? ”

All the ministers could hear the murderous intent in Zhu Youzhen's words, how could Li Qiyuan not hear it.

He hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Obey the order!" ”

Zhu Youzhen reluctantly let him go.

According to Zhu Youzhen's idea, the Beijing camp originally had an army of tens of thousands, plus 100,000 strong men, a total of 1560,000 people to defend the capital, and the 30,000 people under Zhu Youxiao were all elite soldiers and strong generals, but if they wanted to recapture the capital, it was basically impossible.

His 150,000 troops against Zhu Youxiao's 30,000 troops, even Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but sigh, "The advantage lies in me!" ”

"Everyone, Aiqing, as long as the Liaodong army changes, then everything will be settled!"

However, the civil and military generals listened to Zhu Youzhen's impassioned words, but their attitude was obviously ambiguous, they looked at Zhu Youzhen, and even the voice that echoed it, they were a little weak.

When Zhu Youzhen saw the minister's state, he secretly resented it in his heart.

A large part of the ministers were still eunuch ministers before, or just a wall grass, but this Zhu Youzhen, in order to maintain stability, there is no way to change all the ministers in the court for the time being.

As soon as Zhu Youxiao came back, these ministers' minds were now active, and even many officials were thinking about whether they could stand in this disaster and make any contributions.

Many ministers know very well in their hearts that Zhu Youxiao still has a good chance to return to the capital.

Of course, there are also a considerable number of ministers who feel that all this depends on whether Zhu Youzhen's recruitment of 100,000 strong men goes smoothly, and if it goes well, then the possibility of Zhu Youxiao being able to return to the capital is very low.

In addition, there is also another extreme, some of the relatively upright ministers of the Donglin Party, who hate Hui Shiyang to death, and Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo.

Thank you to the ministers of the Donglin Party, I originally thought that Zhu Youxiao was dead, so they returned to the capital, but now there is such a trouble.

Although all of them are from the Donglin Party, in fact, not all of them are brainless or have no concept of loyalty.

In their minds, Hui Shiyang and Zhu Youzhen are actually rebelling, which is actually contrary to their ideas.

Li Qiyuan, the head of the household, sighed even more, in fact, he was the most uncomfortable person in the Manchu Dynasty.

He was originally a eunuch, Zhu Youzhen always wanted to replace him, and now let him recruit 100,000 strong men who are willing to cooperate in defending the city within three days, which is also the last test.

If he can't pass this test, he won't have to do it nine times out of ten.

But the question is, can he really recruit 100,000 people who are willing to cooperate with Zhu You to defend the city within three days?

Li Qiyuan felt that this matter was very pessimistic, but no matter what, when Zhu Youzhen's order came, he could only do this.

The household department sent a large number of people to put up notices. He also borrowed a large number of officials from Shuntianfu.

The officials took gongs and drums and beat them in the streets, shouting as they struck.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if Emperor Qi has been defeated in the north today, they have received the coercion of Jiannu, and they have returned to the capital to help Jiannu's people become the masters of my Ming Dynasty."

"If Jiannu's army enters the capital, then everything will be miserable."

When the official next to him heard the leader's shout, he also hurried out to help.

"That's right, those Jiannu killed people and set fires, if they were allowed to enter the capital, you would all have to be unlucky, and the family would not be able to keep it."

With the help of such a person, it was not so monotonous when he finally encountered the shouting of the leading officer.

The official who shouted at the head continued: "That's the reason, now Your Majesty has given you no chance, as long as you are willing to participate in the defense of the city, then you may be able to keep your homeland and your family, this is a great opportunity." ”

"Not only that, as long as you are willing to go, you will have enough to eat every day, and you will save a lot of silver taels."

"If you folks and elders really mean this, men over the age of 14 and men under the age of 60 can participate, and there will be no such shop in this village."

The two officials were very noisy, but when they saw the people on the street and the merchants in the shop, their eyes were full of indifference, and even worse, their eyes showed anger.

When these two officials saw these eyes, they were also extremely frightened in their hearts, and they could only speed up their steps and shout elsewhere.

The soldiers of the Beijing camp have caused trouble in the capital, and until now there are still soldiers in the Beijing camp making all kinds of things that make people angry.

There are no less than two or three thousand soldiers in the Beijing camp who commit crimes every day, and many young women from ordinary people's families have lived in the cellar for more than half a month.

How can anyone support such a Donglin Party and such a Beijing camp?

These two officials shouted all day and night, and their voices were about to smoke, thanks to the fact that they were only in charge of this one area, and there were other people in other places who were in charge of it.

But they worked so hard, but the household department set up a stall to recruit strong men, and there was not even half a figure for a whole day.

None of the people were willing to join the defending army.

The few officials who were responsible for recruiting strong men in Xicheng were also bored at this time.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
