"Alright, don't howl!"

Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted his performance with an angry shout, and Li Wei's voice stopped abruptly and looked at him blankly.

The ministers also set their eyes on him, waiting to see if he dragged the daring colt out to cut or hit the board.

However, after Zhu Yuanzhang finished drinking angrily, the anger on his face gradually subsided, stabilized his mind, and said softly: "Well, although what you said is exaggerated, it is not reasonable, then let's read on the past merits of these people, open the net, and let them make meritorious contributions." ”

Li Dawei was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

The ministers were stunned for a moment, that's it? That's it? Even if you don't cut it, you can drag it out and hit the board, right?

Seeing this, Yu Xi and Zhao Ben bowed their heads and remained silent, deeply jealous of His Majesty's trust in Li Wei.

Li Shanchang's heart was angry, and he glanced at Li Wei, and couldn't help but feel a little jealous of Zhu Yuanzhang's favor in him.

The military general didn't think much about it, but felt that Li Wei's move today could be regarded as intentional.

Zhu Yuanzhang held high and let go lightly, and released a group of generals along the Yangtze River, as well as Yangzhou Wei who had little to do with this, but Zhang Cheng and Fan Guangyang still had to punish the nine clans, although the two were dead, but their families could not escape this catastrophe! In addition, those corrupt officials in Yangzhou who bent the law were also severely dealt with and killed.

This is not over, and there is still the most important main culprit that has not been dealt with, that is, the Japanese Kou!

"Ministry of Rites, quickly send an envoy to the Japanese country, and order it to restrain its own people, don't indulge the people anymore, otherwise we will raise troops to fight for it!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted.

Gao Xin hurriedly went out of work: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Although he was very angry with the Japanese state, this small country was far away, and it was time-consuming and laborious and extremely risky to ask for it, although Li Wei said that there was silver there, but he still did not want to take this risk.

The court meeting did not end until the third pole of the day, and after Zhu Yuanzhang left, the ministers also left. Gao Xin, Chen Jing and the others were still around Li Wei, and they walked out of the main hall in groups.

"Your Majesty really trusts your lordship, and your majesty persuaded your majesty to forgive those military attachés in a few words." Chen Jing was both emotional and praised.

Li Wei shook his head gently, these were originally Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangements, and they had nothing to do with him, he just cooperated with the performance.

"This time, if the Japanese invaders dare to attack your lordship, I will definitely warn the envoys to severely reprimand the king of the Japanese kingdom." Gao Xin swears the truth.

Hearing this, Li Wei also snorted coldly: "Yes, you must reprimand them severely, and you have to make them pay ten thousand taels of silver to compensate the people of my Ming Dynasty!" ”

Hearing Li Wei's words, Gao Xin was suddenly shocked: "Ah, is this too much?" ”

"Not much, not much, they have silver!" Li Wei waved his hand and said, there are silver mines in Japan.

Of course, he didn't really expect the current king of Japan to come up with so much silver, but asked Takashin to let the envoys rush to talk at the beginning.

Gao Xin was not a stupid person, and he understood what he meant in a moment, and nodded slightly.

After the meeting, Li Wei first went to the Shenji Camp.

Zhu Yuanzhang said that he had to recruit all the guards before he was released from Yangzhou, and this matter had to be done quickly.

Zhu Yuanzhang promised to give him a guard, that is, about 5,000, and he had to recruit at least 3,000 people to calculate it.

The Shenji Battalion has ready-made soldiers, but he definitely can't directly take away a guard, and it is almost the same to draw about a thousand people without affecting the establishment of the Shenji Battalion, and the rest has to be recruited by himself.

To recruit people, you have to set the salary first, these guards have to pay for their own support, now the ordinary soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are mostly paid directly, the monthly food is about one or two stones, converted into treasure money has always been around, in addition to these, if there is a war, there will be food, rewards, etc., sometimes more than the fixed monthly food.

Li Wei recruited people by himself, of course, he had to give more, he directly set three times a month, and temporarily recruited 3,000 people first, so that he would have to spend 100,000 yuan a year just to maintain the guards, not counting all kinds of equipment.

Of course, their own guards have to be well armed, muskets and cannons are all needed, and this money must not be saved.

After settling the accounts, even if Li Wei is now wealthy, he can't help but be shocked, fortunately, he now has the continuous income of the chamber of commerce and the bank, otherwise he really can't afford to support it.

No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang wants to build a military camp, just this cost, he will definitely not be able to raise the million-strong army of the Ming Dynasty.

After arriving at the Shenji Battalion, he directly called Lu Tang to ask him about his wishes, the artillery led by Lu Tang is mainly composed of craftsmen, there is definitely no problem with loyalty, and he is proficient in artillery, if he can be directly transferred, it is naturally the best.

Lu Tang agreed without hesitation after hearing what he meant, he was originally a god machine battalion that followed Li Wei into the camp, since he can become Li Wei's personal guard now, it would be better!

After transferring Lu Tang and the soldiers of the 1,000 Shenji Battalion, Li Wei went to the Ordnance Bureau again.

There is no way, the most people under him are the Ordnance Bureau, and the craftsmen among them are more loyal to him, so it is most suitable to recruit personal soldiers from them.

With the cooperation of a group of stewards led by Luti, he barely managed to get together manpower, but these new recruits are just ordinary craftsmen, and they will have to go through training and even actual combat in the future before they can become real elite soldiers.

When he went home, he called Wu Yong, Abu, and Tuhuo Chi over again and informed them about the recruitment.

Wu Yong was shocked when he learned about it, the pro-army guard was exclusive to the prince, and His Majesty could give Li Wei this kind of treatment, which shows how much attention is paid to him!

Abu didn't think much of it, but he was very surprised!

The master has a personal guard, so their subordinates have to be promoted, and he is a small fire, as the first celebrity in front of the master, not to mention the direct commander, then he has to give a deputy, right?

In this regard, Li Wei did not hesitate, and arranged official positions for them respectively.

Wu Yong was originally an elite pro-army, so he was naturally arranged as a commander.

Lu Tang came out of the Shenji Battalion, and he knew most about firearms, and he was the commander of the same knowledge.

Although Abu's personal force value is very high, Li Wei didn't know whether he could do it or not, so he first arranged for him to be in command.

As for the de-fire, Li Wei hesitated again and again, and also gave him a position of servant.

This guy used to be a prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and he always knew something about military affairs, and he was really unavailable.

After arranging a few positions, Li Wei asked them to find a place to train the troops, and he himself began to prepare for the construction of Yangzhou.

Now that the matter has been solved, the cement has been fired a lot in these days, and everything is ready to start. (End of chapter)
