At the end of the Ming Dynasty, I freely traveled through Yangshen

Chapter 57 Tianming’s New Army
……

After a while, the meat arrived, and these people began to disperse again, while Zhu Cixiang and others returned to their previous positions.

"Master Chitose, are you this time..."

Seeing the joy that could not be wiped off Zhu Cixiang's face, Wu Xiang stepped forward and whispered, "Are you giving too much? These rubbish are not worth the price. Besides, you can give each person a month today." Three taels, if you give them a naughty mouth, if the number is less than this next time, people will not be happy to come, and this is not a long-term solution."

"No, these 1000 people would have spent at most 4000 to 8000 taels a month. Now that you have increased the price, it will cost at least [-] taels a month."

Wang Cheng'en's tone was also somewhat resentful, "Prince, you have to save some money, the court's finances are not abundant these days."

"Hahaha." Zhu Cixiang smiled when he heard this, "I still feel that this money is too little, but I will still settle the accounts. This money is just a tip, and I will give out more in the future, but But it’s not cash money.”

Wu Xiang looked puzzled, "Prince, I won't give you cash, but will give you more. Do you want to serve these soldiers as officials? But being an official still requires pay."

"It's not that easy to be an official. To be an official, you have to be capable, but I know what I should give you."

Zhu Cixiang waved his hand and changed the topic, "Father-in-law, have you called all your servants?"

"I called him, he should be here in a moment."

"Then my father-in-law might as well call in all the servants of the ancestral family. I know that the ancestor of the ancestral family, Zepu, is also in the capital. He has the title of Jinyiwei Qianhu in name, and he has to be controlled by Wang Banban. "

Zhu Cixiang combined some of the information that Wang Chengen had discussed with him before, and said to Wu Xiang with a smile, "Ask him to come in person. Come to the school grounds together at noon today and bring your servants with you."

"I understand, Prince." Wu Xiang turned to Wu Sanfu and ordered, "Sanfu, please ask someone to go there."

"Okay, okay, okay." Zhu Cixiang nodded, "I know that he is Zu Dashou's son, but I am not an unreasonable person. I know that there is nothing I can do about his father Zu Dashou's surrender to the Tatars. He is in the prison camp. My heart is clear, and calling him here now is to give him an opportunity to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and in the name of the ancestral family."

"That's...yes, that's right. What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is true." Wu Xiang smiled unnaturally when he heard this. It was obvious that there was something wrong in his heart.

The Wu family actually has a close relationship with the Zu family. He himself is Zu Dashou's brother-in-law. In the two years after the Songjin War 15 years after Chongzhen, the secret correspondence between the two families has not been interrupted.

Many of these letters were written by Zu Dashou to Wu Sangui, asking Wu Sangui to surrender to the Qing army. In fact, Wu Xiang had already fallen out with Zu Dashou, because Zu Dashou also led people to sneak attack on the middle and rear of Wu Sanfu's nursing home. In this fortress, if Wu Xiang hadn't been clever and knew how to arrange manpower and play Infernal Affairs, he would probably have had to get Zu Dashou to write a letter of trust in Shengjing by now.After wasting this time, Wu Xiang, Wu Sanfu, Wang Chengen, and Zhu Cixiang were all a little hungry.

However, Zhu Cixiang didn't drink here. He only ate a few boiled eggs. Zhu Cixiang, who grew up eating spiritual rice in his dreams, also had a bad appetite. He knew that eating other grains would leave a lot of impurities in the body, and food The essence of protein is protein and various energy fibers. In the 21st century, don’t some people who exercise directly eat protein powder in order to build muscle? They can simply eat a few eggs.

Zhu Cihong still thought that he could just eat something casual here, and tonight he would go to the Izumo Kingdom to eat. The environment of the world over there is different, and the things bred are spiritual, and the food tastes more nourishing.

The reason for not drinking is because it is a good thing for ascetics and it is common sense that it is best to drink less alcohol.

For a Taoist, even if the soul is out of the body, the brain needs to be kept awake, and people who drink alcohol can easily become dizzy. If they are so dizzy, if they are in danger, people will be dizzy. What can a strong practitioner of Taoism do? Out of body, how to use Taoism, how to visualize?Can't perform Taoism, and don't have martial arts yet, isn't this just letting others slaughter him?How can a Taoist master not be vigilant like this!

Soon, several people had eaten breakfast, and the people in the school grounds also dispersed under Zhu Cixiang's order. Seeing that these people were in groups of three and two, looking lively and noisy, they knew that these people were going back. They must be spreading the word about Zhu Cixiang all over Beijing. It's only around eight o'clock in the morning, and there are still two hours left, so these people have to go back quickly to talk to their relatives and friends who don't have enough food to talk about today's incident, and their actions are still... Hurry up, or there will be too many people waiting for the meeting, and if Prince Zhu only recruits such a few people, this big family will not be able to eat.

But Wu Sanfu had already asked someone to go back and tell his Wu family's servants and Zu Zepu's servants what happened today. They all asked them to come over, and also told them that his third sister was going to be a talent in the palace. His wives and concubines, I think they were having a good time, but he and Wu Xiang also kept it secret, and specifically ordered the family to talk behind closed doors and not to leak the news.

"Huang Dabao, Bijiucheng, put ink, paper and inkstones, and then find someone to buy thousands of large pieces of paper that can be written on immediately."

After all these people dispersed, Zhu Cixiang called on his men in the East Palace to start moving.

Pens, inks, paper and inkstones naturally came up very quickly, but thousands of large writing notes had to be purchased from outside. They could not be made in such a short time. Fortunately, the eunuchs under Huang Dabao were also very quick, and they were soon available. Order to go down and do something.

I saw the pen, ink, paper and inkstone placed down, Zhu Cixi spread out a large piece of paper, and started writing with the brush.

"Your Highness, what are you writing?" Wu Xiang didn't know what he meant, so he came over. He read slowly following the words written by Zhu Cixiang, "Feng Jinyiwei Xiaoqi, grant [-] acres of paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River, and add Tianming meritorious officials I will be given the title of Jin Yi Wei Qianshi, five hundred acres of paddy field, and the title of Tianming Meritorious Minister."

"This is you?"

Wang Chengen and others also came over and looked at Zhu Cixiang's writing with confused expressions.

"This is the reward I give them. These servants of the Wu family will form an army with Ding Zhuang from Beijing. I plan to call this new army the Tianming New Army, which means that the night will make the day bright." Zhu Cixi wrote and put down his pen. After reading the note, he smiled and explained to Wu Xiang, Wang Chengen and others, "My father-in-law's servants, who have no or less than seventh-grade official status, as long as they join the new army of Tianming in this palace, they will all be added to the official status of Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi. We will grant [-] acres of paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River. Those whose official positions are higher than the seventh rank will be granted the title of Qianshi from the third rank. We will grant [-] acres of paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River. All those who join the army will be awarded the title of Tianming Meritorious Officer."

　It was supposed to be a 24-hour shift, but suddenly it was said that it was tomorrow.
