If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 300 Follow-up Arrangements
Because of Ji Gang's previous case, everyone in Jinyiwei was greatly implicated and purged. Now they have been scattered into a bunch of stragglers, or in other words, defeated soldiers.

In the past, Ji Gang's confidants and subordinates who had been placed in Jinyiwei, but all those who were somewhat involved were dragged along and lost their heads in previous cases.

As a close confidant of Zhu Di from the time of his death, Ji Gang has been in charge of Jinyiwei since the early years of Yongle. In more than ten years, he has managed Jinyiwei like an iron bucket, with his trusted followers at every level.

This time, they were all pulled out. Although it did eliminate all the hidden dangers left by Ji Gang in Jinyiwei, it also completely paralyzed Jinyiwei.

The remaining people are either old officials with no hope of promotion, or people who have been suppressed and excluded. Thirdly, they are mediocre people who Ji Gang doesn't look down on. These people can just live a normal life. I really hope they can take over the Jinyiwei again. Stand up, that's just overthinking.

So Zhu Di simply established the East Factory several years in advance, sent his confidant eunuchs to take care of the East Factory, and removed all the still useful people in the Jinyi Guard to the East Factory, and the remaining people were even more miserable. .

However, as the Jin Yiwei was a secret service agency left over from the Hongwu Dynasty, it was obviously impossible for Zhu Di to just abolish it. He could only redeploy manpower and train another Jin Yiwei.

This is also the reason why the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled were not sent away.

After all, they are also serious Jinyiwei. Although their ability and strength are not good, and they no longer have the ambition to serve the imperial court, at least they still understand the craftsmanship and work procedures. Keeping them can be regarded as leaving some space for the Jinyiwei. seed.

When Zhu Di finds suitable candidates to rebuild Jinyiwei in the future, these people can play a role in passing on the legacy to some extent.

After all, if we were to completely retrain a group of people, the investment and cost would be too high, and without enough experience and inheritance, the newly trained Jinyiwei would be difficult to use.

However, now that Zhu Zhanjun suggested that Zhu Di retrain the Jinyiwei and train them as the future cultivation force of the Ming Dynasty, these old people who had stayed behind were no longer useful.

After all, the path of spiritual practice is different from that of ordinary people. Many things and cognitions need to be re-established. Rather than following those of the past, it is better to start from scratch.

However, these people were not wasted. Zhu Di handed over the task of training the new Jinyiwei practitioners to Zhu Zhanchun. After all, he was the only one in the Ming Dynasty who was qualified for this job.

The remaining old people were packed up by Zhu Di and given to Zhu Zhanchun, asking him to train a group of people with the same functions as the original Jinyiwei and retake the original work of Jinyiwei.

As for whether this power would pose a threat to the imperial power after being handed over to Zhu Zhanchun, Zhu Di naturally also considered it, but compared to the threat that Zhu Zhanchun, a vassal prince who had no intention of taking the throne, could pose, it was obvious that the imperial court did not have its own The influence brought by the power of practitioners is greater.

Although it is possible to recruit those from the Jianghu community to serve the imperial court, the loyalty of such recruited people is ultimately not as reliable as those cultivated by oneself.

Of course, Zhu Di will not really put all his eggs in one basket. After the court really recruits practitioners from the world, Zhu Di will still select suitable candidates from these people to train him. A group of practitioners from his direct lineage.

But before that, Zhu Di still needed Zhu Zhankun to cultivate a figure first, so that the court would have a spiritual force that could be driven.

----------------

"You have now received the title of Dragon King of the South China Sea. While enjoying the protection of the national destiny, you must also shoulder the corresponding responsibilities." Zhu Zhanjuan explained to Ah Qing the responsibilities she will need to perform in the future: "In addition to ensuring smooth weather and smooth shipping routes in the South China Sea, , the imperial court is currently conquering Annan, and you need to train the South China Sea navy to assist the imperial court in controlling Annan and deter Nanyang." Ah Qing did not refuse the things Zhu Zhanjuan told her, but she also made it clear: "Bless the weather for good weather and smooth shipping routes. , this is my duty, I will naturally do it well.

But training Tao soldiers... I have never done this, and I have no method of training Tao soldiers. I still need your help, Your Majesty. "

At this time, Ah Qing holds the imperial edict written by Zhu Di and is feeling the changes in herself after receiving the blessing of the Ming Dynasty. She is relatively willing to cooperate with what Zhu Zhanjuan wants her to do.

It's just that she is a snake spirit born in the mountains, and she really has no experience in this area.

Let alone her, even in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, when the aura of heaven and earth had not declined and there were many monks in the world, only the top sects of Buddhism and Taoism were able to train Tao soldiers.

Smaller sects don't have this foundation, or they have the methods but don't have enough resources to train Tao soldiers.

Therefore, Ah Qing really knows nothing about training Tao soldiers.

Zhu Zhanjun was not surprised by this, and he had already been prepared.

"This matter is not urgent for the time being. You and I will go back to Japan first, refine the blood of the true dragon and cultivate it into a true dragon before making arrangements." Zhu Zhanjuan said to Ah Qing, and at the same time explained: "My princess was originally from the Dragon Palace. My general is particularly good at training Tao soldiers. She is currently in seclusion. After she comes out of seclusion, I will ask her to teach you how to train Tao soldiers and how to lead troops to fight."

Ah Qing is a snake spirit who doesn't even know how to train Taoist soldiers. It's naturally a luxury to expect her to lead troops in war.

Therefore, when Zhu Zhanqi recruited A Qing to be the Dragon King of the South China Sea, he had already thought about it. After Meng Qinglin came out of seclusion, she would teach A Qing and teach her how to train Tao soldiers and lead troops to fight, so that this Dragon King of the South China Sea could Really make a difference.

As for Meng Qinglin herself, Zhu Zhanyu reserved her the position of Dragon King of the East China Sea, but the Ming Dynasty cannot support this title now. The current national destiny of the Ming Dynasty is still close to adding a Dragon King of the South China Sea. The canonization of the Dragon King of the East China Sea will take a few more years to save up. .

However, with Zhu Zhanjun's support behind him, Meng Qinglin does not have to wait until he is canonized as the Dragon King of the East China Sea before starting to train Taoist soldiers. He can completely cultivate a suitable force first, and then he can legitimately use this force after he is officially canonized. Dao soldiers.

Originally, Zhu Zhanjun was not prepared to make such a big show, but since Zhu Di allowed him to extract the power of the entire Japanese country, he could naturally be more relaxed about some things.

After all, according to the geological theory of later generations, the entire Japanese country is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire and Earthquake Belt, and the entire island country is covered with volcanoes.

An active volcano is at least equivalent to a small spiritual vein. If you let go to extract the power of the earth vein...

Even when Zhu Zhanquan was in the world of immortality, he never lived such a prosperous life.
