Brother Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 17

After Zhu Youjian finished talking about the military establishment and functions of Beizhili, everyone in the Qianqing Palace was stunned.

Because even they didn't expect that there were so many soldiers and horses guarding Beizhili.

Suddenly, they felt that they were very safe, and they gradually admired the way they looked at Zhu Youjian.

It's just that they don't know that Zhu Youjian has figured out so many military functions in the past month.

Three hundred and twenty-four thousand six hundred people, this is the number of public security and army establishments in Beizhili.

Although among the more than [-] people, even [-] people who can fight can't be found, but it doesn't prevent the number from being very bluffing.

Logically speaking, even if there is only one-tenth of the army capable of fighting among the more than [-] people, if the soldiers from Ji Liao and Xuanfu are added, even if Huang Taiji charged into the Great Wall, he would be punished to death. .

But the result is that among the more than [-] people, there really isn't even an army capable of fighting with [-].

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian couldn't help feeling a little speechless.

Although these more than [-] people cannot fight, it does not prevent them from receiving military pay.

The officers and soldiers in Beijing unified five taels of silver per year, and the total annual expenditure was 181 taels.

With so much money, it turns out that you can play defensive battles, and you can't even do a good job in defense. It's really...

Zhu Youjian didn't know what to scold for a while, so he could only look at Zhu Youxiao, while Zhu Youxiao was stunned.

Not only many eunuchs, even he, the new emperor, did not expect that Beizhili, where he lived, would have so many soldiers and horses guarding him.

For a moment, he couldn't help feeling that Nurhachi in Liaodong was just suffering from skin moss, and as long as Daming was serious, he could be calmed down soon.

The sixteen-year-old boy's thoughts are so simple, but he doesn't know if he will be so happy if he sees the appearance of more than [-] soldiers and horses under him in Beijing...

"Okay!" Zhu Youxiao came back to his senses, and cheered for Zhu Youjian:
"Your brother is indeed as Jin Zhong said, he knows soldiers very well."

"In this case, the three guards of Habayashi, after the national funeral, I will ask the Ministry of War to transfer to Changping, and help my younger brother to examine and repair the imperial tomb for the emperor."

"Thank you brother!" Hearing this, Zhu Youjian's face immediately filled with a smile.

After Zhu Youxiao saw it, he also patted his hand with a smile, and then realized that it was getting late, so he asked:

"Have you eaten yet?"

"My brother ate before I came. If my brother is hungry, I can eat first. It's getting late, so my brother will go back to Xuqin Palace first." Zhu Youjian quickly stood up from his chair.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao didn't keep him, but stood up with a smile, and comforted him:

"Tomorrow is the beginning of Huang Kao's national funeral. Don't be late at six o'clock."

"Your brother understands, the elder brother is busy first, and the younger brother retreats first..." Zhu Youjian bowed and composed, and then slowly exited the palace.

"Jinzhong, please see off the fifth brother of the emperor." Zhu Youxiao greeted Wei Jinzhong, and Wei Jinzhong quickly followed Zhu Youjian and sent him out of the palace with two eunuchs.

Zhu Youxiao just watched the few people leave like this, and the friendly smile towards his younger brother gradually faded in his eyes. In the end, he looked down at the memorial in his hand, and after thinking about it, he decided to put it aside for a while.

He still hasn't figured out how much money is left in the inner shipping warehouse, and whether it will be issued or not needs to be counted by the inner shipping warehouse and sent to him before a decision can be made.

While he was thinking about how to deal with the side affairs, Zhu Youjian had already walked out of the Qianqing Palace accompanied by Wei Jinzhong.

When Lu Wenzhao saw Zhu Youjian coming out, he immediately greeted him, and Zhu Youjian smiled and said:

"Lu Wenzhao, this is Wei Jinzhong. You can get closer in the future. After all, you are in Jinyiwei. Maybe Wei Jinzhong will also be in charge of the East Factory in the future. Your colleagues will save a lot of trouble."

After Zhu Youjian said this, Lu Wenzhao hurriedly edited Wei Jinzhong, and Wei Jinzhong was even more happy.

Right now he is just a eunuch with palm prints of the Qingshui Yamen Xixin Division, and the eunuch of Dongchang can be said to be unattainable for him.

Zhu Youjian's words show in disguise that he will support Wei Jinzhong as the eunuch of the East Factory, but the premise depends on whether he can climb up.

"Thank you, Your Highness Fifth Highness..." Wei Jinzhong smiled at Zhu Youjian, and kept laughing with him.

Zhu Youjian said with a slight smile: "Although the eunuch of Dongchang is fine, I heard that you haven't studied after all, so I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the supervisor of ceremonies."

"If you have some time, you can go to the inner school to read in your spare time. I heard that you have a good memory. It won't be difficult to think about it."

"Thank you, Your Highness Fifth, for the reminder. The slaves will go to the inner school to study." Wei Jinzhong was delighted to be drawn by Zhu Youjian's pancake, but he didn't know that even if Zhu Youjian didn't open his mouth, he would become the supervisor of ceremonies in the future. The eunuch is the only one who has never read a book and has the seal of the supervisor of ceremonies.

"Okay, let's go." Saying that, Zhu Youjian got on the elephant chair with the support of Lu Wenzhao.

Wei Jinzhong apologized all the way, and didn't stop until Xiang Ren walked dozens of steps, watching Zhu Youjian and Lu Wenzhao leave.

When Zhu Youjian and Lu Wenzhao left, he also put away his smile, and his whole face became very cold.

A young eunuch at the gate of Qianqing Palace behind him stepped forward quickly, saluted Wei Jinzhong and said:

"Eunuch, we have figured out the inner court. Right now, Wang An is protecting Concubine Li Kang. Do you think we should..."

The little eunuch suddenly lowered his voice when he was ambiguous, but Wei Jinzhong said lazily:

"Don't worry, the national funeral has not passed yet, if I attack that old guy, I'm afraid it will make Wan Sui feel uncomfortable."

"Wait, let that old guy be arrogant for a few more days."

"What about the Royal Horse Supervisor?" The little eunuch asked humbly: "The Royal Horse Supervisor was given to Wang Cheng'en in the palace of the Fifth Highness by Long Live. There is no four guards and one battalion of the Royal Horse Supervisor. Our foundation is a bit weak."

"Don't even think about the Imperial Horse Supervisor." Wei Jinzhong frowned slightly, then turned and walked towards Qianqing Palace, followed by the little eunuch.

After walking a few steps, Wei Jinzhong said: "We can't move the Yumajian, but just now when His Royal Highness said that the twenty-six guards are up to you, it gave our family some ideas."

"The four guards and one battalion of the Yumajian can't be moved, and our family can't put a nail in the twenty-six guards of Shangzhi?"

"Eunuch is brilliant!" The little eunuch flattered quickly, but then hesitated and said:
"But the twenty-six guards of the Shangzhi are all nobles and civil servants. I'm afraid we won't be able to intervene..."

"Is there anything that can't be inserted." Wei Jinzhong sneered and said:
"The four guards of Jinwu, the three guards of Habayashi, and the five guards of the government army cannot be intervened by our family. The three guards of Yanshan and other guards are outside Beijing. Our family can only intervene in the banner guard and the left guard of Huben."

Hearing this, the little eunuch hurriedly described the situation: "The remaining commander of Huben Zuowei is the British Duke Zhang Weixian, will Zhang Weixian back down?"

"Huh?" Wei Zhongxian dragged his voice, and glanced at the little eunuch:

"He can't let him make concessions on this thing, as long as Wansui opens his mouth, the tiger and the left guard can be easily captured by our family."

"But this thing cannot be controlled by our eunuchs. You can find a way to look outside the palace to see if there is anyone who wants to find an errand without background."

"Yes..." Hearing Wei Jinzhong's words, the little eunuch nodded quickly, expressing that he knew what to do.

As for Wei Jinzhong, he looked at Qianqing Palace, and couldn't help but let out a smug laugh...
