"He Shanggong, He Shangguan, you are not allowed to enter here!" It was at this moment that the anxious voices of two eunuchs came from outside, as if they were stopping someone who was about to break into the palace.

"Slave go and see!" Guo Yong and Liu Jin were both present, and Liu Jin was the first to react. Zhu Youjiao's brows furrowed slightly, and he gently put down the music in his hand, and when he looked up, he saw that the woman who was stopped at the door was He Shanggong of Qingning Palace.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is here by the order of the Empress Dowager, and I look forward to seeing you!" He Shanggong also seemed to be in a hurry, but he found that he was pleading.

Zhu Youzhu glanced at He Shanggong indifferently, and then said to Liu Jin and the other eunuchs: "Let her in!" "In the Forbidden City, in addition to eunuchs and palace maids, there is also a special group of female officials.

It's just that now many affairs in the palace are handled by eunuchs, and now female officials have almost no sense of existence.

"Wechen greeted Your Majesty, and Wechen came over to deliver the word by the order of the Empress Dowager, so I just lost my etiquette!" He Shangguan was a tall and thin middle-aged woman, who knelt down politely.

Zhu Youzhu couldn't avoid it, and simply said straight to the point: "I have explained the matter of Qingyun Hou clearly, if the Empress Dowager really can't dissipate her anger, I will personally go to Qingning Palace to make amends in some time!" In the matter of Qingyun Hou's beheading, he inevitably encountered resistance from the Empress Dowager, but in the end he decided to push Zhou Shou to the guillotine.

It's just that this decision undoubtedly completely angered the Empress Dowager Zhou, and it can even be said that the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren has been completely broken, and the Empress Dowager Zhou once made a scene of hanging.

Zhu Youzhu naturally knew that the Empress Dowager Zhou's method was actually forcing him to comply, after all, the hat of unfilial piety was very serious in this era, but he knew that it was wise to treat it coldly in this era, so he still did not plan to go to Qingning Palace to watch the old woman's performance.

After all, he can still shirk a little responsibility by sitting here, and if he is forced to die by her there, it is easy to fall into a dilemma at that time.

"The Empress Dowager said, please come over now, she wants to reconcile with you!" He Shanggong raised his face and looked at Zhu Youjiao, looking serious.

This...... Guo Yong and Liu Jin silently exchanged glances, and faintly felt that this was clearly a Hongmen banquet.

Zhu Youzhu naturally knew that the Empress Dowager Zhou was trying to make herself uncomfortable, so he picked up a secret report next to him and said: "This is the secret report that Jinyiwei just sent, you take it back to the Empress Dowager Liu Jin hurriedly stepped forward to hand it over, and He Shanggong couldn't help but take a look at the secret report, and his face suddenly changed." Zhu Youzhu saw her reaction in his eyes, and said lightly: "This is the end of the matter!" You go back and tell the Empress Dowager: She is her Empress Dowager, I am my emperor, and we are still grandchildren! ”

"Wechen must tell me, Wechen retires!" He Shanggong put away the music silently, and then retreated.

Zhu Youzhu knew that many people would think that the wisest thing to do was to keep Qingyunhou, so as to ensure the harmony of the harem on the surface and ensure his safety.

It's just that he is now in control of the court, and he used to be able to pretend to be stupid and make people mistakenly think that he was a harmless wardrobe prince, but now he will kill himself by pretending to be weak.

Xiang Yu didn't kill Liu Bang, he really thought that Liu Bang was a little white rabbit at that time, if he found out that Liu Bang was Cao Cao, he would definitely chop people up without waiting for the table.

Zhu Youzhu is now sharp in the court, so he naturally has to make a decision in the palace. Even though this palace is in crisis, he is the master of this place after all, and he is also the emperor of this dynasty.

In fact, now the relationship will be overturned, so that it can better protect themselves, and today everyone knows that he personally killed the Empress Dowager's own brother, but it will make some people throw a rat bogey.

Of course, now that the relationship between mother-in-law and grandson has broken down, I really can't take it lightly when I catch a cold recently.

The little goblin who waits for her daily life is very pretty, especially those eyes with a rare charm of a girl, which seems to allow her to warm the bed.

The days went by and the weather got colder and colder. It was in this November that there was a memorable event in the Ming Dynasty.

Since the Tumubao Incident, the dominance of Jingying has slowly fallen into the hands of the civilian clique. It's just that the budget-conscious civilian clique never thinks that training hundreds of thousands of Beijing troops is a cost-effective deal, and if it weren't for the military household system formulated by Taizu, I'm afraid they would have already dismantled the Beijing army.

Even if the establishment of more than 100,000 Beijing troops is retained, the Beijing army can be seen in many projects, such as the Maoling that Emperor Chenghua just repaired, and tens of thousands of people were transferred by the military department to serve as laborers.

It can also be seen from this incident that today's Ming Dynasty should not be said to be strong and weak, but that the generals have long had no place to stand.

Everything is a process of prosperity and decline. The Beijing army was dismissed as laborers by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, and their rations decreased rather than increased, thus causing the phenomenon of the Beijing army fleeing.

Fortunately, the current Beijing camp has not been abolished by the civilian official group, and there are still many hot-blooded soldiers here.

In particular, the civil fort has not been too long in the past, and many soldiers want to be ashamed of the past and want to restore the heroic posture of the iron-blooded Ming army in the early Ming Dynasty.

"Two taels of silver per month, isn't this a dream?"

"You can't make it clear enough, if you can get to full attendance and first-class, add one or two!"

"This is just the salary of ordinary soldiers, and the small flag, the general flag and the hundred households will only be higher!"

"I'm afraid that such a good thing will not be our turn, and it will definitely be taken up by those related households!"

"You can rest assured, this time it was personally selected by the Lord in charge, and you can only pass if you meet the conditions, and I heard that you will not be sent by the barracks!" …… When the S.H.I.E.L.D. battalion first began recruiting, many soldiers were directly stunned by this treatment, but many soldiers reacted that it was not their turn to be a good thing.

At present, the folding color of the Ming Dynasty has not prevailed, so the soldiers' rations are still rice grain, and now the Beijing army only gives grain of two stones per month, and this grain has to be deducted from above.

In fact, not only is there serious corruption in the local areas, but corruption also occurs in the army, especially those martial artists who are trying to make money in the army.

It was like this, when they learned about the generous treatment of S.H.I.E.L.D., their saliva overflowed.

"I'm chosen!"

"Haha...... I chose it too! ”

"It's still the justice of the commander of the army, Lao Tzu no longer has to be angry with Zhao Papi in this camp!" …… With the release of the list of those who were selected for the S.H.I.E.L.D. battalion, many of the able-bodied soldiers were successfully selected, and these people looked happy with their eyebrows raised.

About 250 soldiers were selected from each battalion, and these were all physically strong men, and they were already the strongest soldiers selected in the 12th battalion.

On November 22, S.H.I.E.L.D. assembled 3,000 new soldiers, a day to remember in history.

Since the military camp located in the north of the city has not yet been completed, the S.H.I.E.L.D. camp chose a place outside the north city to serve as a temporary camp, and the training began on the first day of the camp.

"Where did this military body fist come from, I'm tired to death!"

"If it's like this every day, how can you live?"

"That's it, now I'm so left with no strength at all!" …… Just when many sergeants complained about the hard work, they suddenly froze, and then walked quickly in the direction of the stove in search of the smell of meat.

In the iron pot of the stove, there was a pot of mutton, and these were fat sheep that had just been slaughtered.

When the time came for the meal, they were presented no longer with gruel and pickles, but with white rice and pots of fragrant meat.

"Is it true that we can eat meat every day?"

"Nonsense, we're the most elite S.H.I.E.L.D." battalion!"

"This kind of food is like a dream!" …… The soldiers of the S.H.I.E.L.D. battalion were eating meat with a big smile on their faces, and they sighed like a dream about the good days that suddenly appeared.

Although the training is hard, with such good food and considerable income, this is simply a good thing that I never dared to imagine before.

Historically, they have been used as sappers, and wherever there is a big project, they are sent over, so that they forget for a while whether they are soldiers or workers.

It's just that now it's all different, after the new monarch ascended the throne to clean up the government, and now it is obvious that he wants to treat their soldiers well, and he wants to make the Ming Dynasty's iron cavalry rise again.

"You are now eating white rice, eating large pieces of meat in the bowl, and holding the monthly money of snowflakes, but you must always remember in your hearts! You are the first battalion in the world built by His Majesty, if you are still a bad seed, go back to where the commander came from, and go back to move your bricks! The commander of the S.H.I.E.L.D. battalion was Zhang Yong, and he shouted to the soldiers who were eating.

"Who is this eunuch? Why do you still arrange for us to have a eunuch in charge of the army? ”

"This is Zhang Yong, the eunuch in charge of the Fenwu Battalion, I heard that he is a ruthless character!"

"It's just an eggless thing, and it won't last three rounds under my hands!"

"Iron Elephant Mountain, I know you have a lot of recklessness, but you really can't beat the Commander!"

"! Seeing Your Majesty another day, I will definitely challenge Zhang Yong, how can the elite of our Beijing camp listen to a leader who has no eggs! ”…… A big man who was eating was unhappy with the high-flying Zhang Yong, although he had no desire for power, but he also wanted to change someone with eggs to lead them.

In fact, there are not many people who have similar thoughts to Tiexiang Mountain, after all, they are the most bloody men in the twelve battalions, and they all hope to change someone who can lower them and lead them in the future.

At the end of November, the city of Beijing received its first snowfall. Even the splendid palaces are covered with a layer of snow in the boiling snowflakes, and the Forbidden City presents a different charm.

"Tie Xiangshan, Li Chenggui, Zhao Yong, Yang Lai......" Zhu Youzhu looked at the list of potential generals in his hand, and said with a worried look.

Qian Yi noticed Zhu Youzhang's expression, and immediately asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty, this is all the private observation of the slave maid, I don't know what went wrong?" ”

"Well, it's not a list problem! I still feel that the people in Jingying are too comfortable, and I have to create a sense of crisis for them! Zhu Youzhu has a high degree of trust in Qian Yi and others, so he directly expressed his concerns.

Although the S.H.I.E.L.D. battalion was selected from the best of the twelve, many of these people were old acquaintances, so it was easy to get together.

If you want to build a real iron-blooded army, you need to bring in fresh blood, and even create an eel effect.

Qian Yi's brows furrowed slightly, and he said with some puzzlement: "Your Majesty, aren't we going to eliminate some undisciplined people and return to the base camp?" ”

"This is not enough, I need the generals above and there is a certain amount of competitive pressure!" Zhu Youzhu shook his head gently, and suddenly said with a slight movement in his heart: "That's it!" Next year, we will hold a martial arts ceremony, and at the same time promote Jingwei martial arts, and start cultivating some generals! Due to the continuous weakening of the combat strength of the Ming army, the Mongol cavalry in the north repeatedly crossed the wall to loot money and people, resulting in the Ming Dynasty becoming the target of plunder.

In addition to the reduction of Daming's investment in military spending, there is also a great deal to do with the lack of military personnel training.

When Zhu Youzhu was a financial researcher in his previous life, he knew that if he wanted to revitalize that industry, he needed to invest a lot of money and talents, both of which were indispensable.

Taking football as an example, a large amount of capital intervention has prompted the good development of various clubs, but as a result, programmers have to limit salaries and limit the title of the team, and as a result, after the withdrawal of capital, it is naturally a chicken feather.

Now if you want the Daming Iron Cavalry to gallop the grassland again, then in addition to the additional military investment, you have to push martial arts and martial arts to a more important position.

"That's a great move! Your Majesty, should we add a martial arts department to our inner study hall? Qian Yi's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately made a suggestion.

"This is not in a hurry, let's wait for Wang Zhi to return first, and now it is enough to add geography, arithmetic and sociology to the inner study hall!" Zhu Youzhu thought for a moment, but shook his head lightly.

Since the beginning of Xuande, the inner court has selected two or three hundred little eunuchs who are about ten years old to study in the inner study hall, which is equivalent to the national eunuch of the inner court.

In addition to learning the Four Books and Five Classics, the little eunuchs inside also had to study ideological education courses such as "Internal Order" and "Zhongjianlu", as well as cultivating the ability to criticize the courtiers' chapters and the courtiers' votes.

There are only two days off on the first and fifteenth days of the month, a small exam in three days, a major exam in five days, and a final exam at the end of a stage.

After a few years or ten years. The students with the best grades and the best luck will be selected to the clerical room, and if they go to the clerical room, then the next stop is the celebrant supervisor, thus forming

The model of "Inner Study-Clerk's Room-Master of Ceremonies". For example, Guo Yong went to study in the inner study hall, and then went to the clerical office to work, and after staying up to enough qualifications and outstanding performance, he was naturally selected to serve as the master of ceremonies.

After Zhu Youzhu ascended the throne, he especially began to reuse eunuchs to take charge of the twelve camps for himself, and he paid more attention to the education work of the inner study hall.

The reason for the addition of practical subjects such as geography and arithmetic is that he hopes to find himself Wang Zhi and Zheng He, and even Wei Zhongzhen, who knows how to manage money.
