After Zhu Xu returned to the palace, he continued to flip the memorial.

Zhu Xu read it quickly with Zhu Youjian's ticket. Zhu Youjian was really diligent. Although the government ticket was not exactly what he wanted, it was also the way to deal with it at the moment.

The night is as cool as water, and the Wenzhao Pavilion is brightly lit.

Zhu Xu stayed in Cining Palace for a while and continued to come back. He carefully read every note and figured out the implicit purpose and intentions.

Cao Huachun quietly appeared behind Zhu Xu and whispered, "Emperor, Zhu Zonghan is here."

Zhu Xu was stunned, put down the memorial and turned around and said, "Hurry up."

Zhu Zonghan walked in quickly in black, knelt on one knee and said, "My minister Zhu Zonghan bowed to the emperor!"

"Flat!"

Zhu Xu looked at Zhu Zonghan with a zombie face and looked quite expectant.

Zhu Zonghan has escaped from the private salt incident and is specifically targeting the intelligence layout and spy on the Later Jin Dynasty.

Zhu Zonghan stood up and bowed and said, "Emperor, I have found out that the thief chief is summoning troops and preparing to conquer Mongolia and ancient times."

Zhu Xu smiled with satisfaction. The military system of the Later Jin Dynasty decided that it was impossible to strictly keep military operations secret. What's more, several major Beile fight for power, and each flag is desperately encircling land. If you want to spy on something, it is easy to use Professor Zhu Xu's method.

According to history, Nurhaci died in August this year, and then Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne and launched the Battle of Ningjin the following year in order to establish his authority.

Zhu Xu thought in his heart and couldn't help but squint. Huang Taiji ascended the throne in the same year as him, which means that the first year of Chongzhen and Tiancong were the same.

When Zhu Zonghan saw Zhu Xu nodding and said, "I have found out that the thief chief is already looking for craftsmen and wants to forge the red cannon."

Zhu Xu's eyes were slightly cold, and he looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Use all means to erase their attempts. I will never allow Jiannu to own cannons and firearms!"

Zhu Zonghan said, "I obey the order!"

Zhu Xu looked at Zhu Zonghan and said with a flash of eyes: "In the future, you can let go of your hands and feet, don't do other things, and fully penetrate all aspects of Jiannu's military and political affairs. I must know Jiannu's every move!"

Zhu Zonghan's expression remained unchanged and said, "I will receive the order!"

Zhu Xu talked to Zhu Zonghan for a long time before seeing him go away. Zhu Xu sat on the soft collapse, pondered for a long time, and said to Cao Huachun: "Take your beloved son to see me immediately."

Ai Er is another piece of information for Zhu Xu, which is extremely obscure.

"Yes." Cao Huachun agreed and turned around to make arrangements.

After discussing with Ai Er for a long time, it was not until dawn that Zhu Xu asked someone to send Ai Er away.

Cao Huachun took a bowl of ginger soup and said softly, "Your Majesty, let's sleep for a while."

Zhu Xu shook his head and continued to flip the note.

For two consecutive days, Zhu Xu had little rest. He kept looking at the memorials from all over the place and vaguely figured out some rules.

These people either impeach others, report disasters, ask for money and food. What is hidden behind them is that local fritories are fighting each other, embezzling and bribery, dereliction of duty and slow politics, and covering up scandals.

Following the veins and writing and drawing on white paper, you can also have a simple relationship diagram, intertwined with each other, very complex.

Zhu Xu was dizzy when he saw it. He sighed and stood up, stretched out his arms and said, "This place is not as calm as the court."

Liu Shimin also stood by the side. Seeing Zhu Xu after reading the memorial, he walked over and said, "Emperor, the cabinet has sent over the list of elected assistant ministers."

Zhu Xu smiled, didn't answer, and asked, "Who are there?"

Liu Shimin said: "There are ten people in total, Ye Xianggao, Han Du, Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong, Zuo Guangdou, Yang Lian, Qian Longxi, Huang Liji, Shi Fenglai, and Li Guopu."

Zhu Xu smiled more and said, "Okay, I understand. Let these ten people enter the palace together tomorrow."

Liu Shimin said, "Yes."

Zhu Xu never argued about the cabinet. After moving for a while, he looked at Cao Huachun and said, "How much money is available in Huitong Trading Company?"

Cao Huachun stepped forward and said, "Return to the emperor, there are about one million people who belong to the emperor, and there are another 30 million taels of silver."

Zhu Xu, with several major chambers of commerce taking advantage of the monopoly of policies, attracted many wealthy merchants in the capital, Shanxi merchants, and Jiangnan, and silver was also continuously deposited.

Standing there for a while, Zhu Xu said, "Another allocate one million to Qin Liangyu and one million to Liaodong, let Qin Liangyu use both suppression and pacification, quell the rebellion of the four southwest provinces as soon as possible, and curb the passages from Shaanxi and western provinces into the four provinces. He ordered Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Chonghuan to speed up the construction of the Ningjin defense line and establish mutual support between the cities. We must build a solid foundation. I will not allow Jiannu to take another step south!"

Although there are many rebellions in various places in the Ming Dynasty, there are not many things that have become popular. There are more victory and fewer defeats in various places. Cao Huachun did not understand why Zhu Xu always valued it so much, but he still bowed according to Zhu Xu's instructions and said, "Abide by the order!"

Zhu Xu walked to the door of Wenzhao Pavilion and looked outside the palace wall.

Over this year, the disaster will increase step by step next year. He must control the situation, otherwise he will fall into a situation of hard struggle between the north and the south and a little bit of consumption.

Zhu Xu looked at it for a while and turned around and said, "Recruit Sun Chengzong into the palace."

"Yes." Liu Shimin bowed slightly and turned to make arrangements.

Sun Chengzong was summoned by the emperor and rushed over from the Ministry of War. Since the last time in the Imperial Garden, he has known that the new emperor had enough understanding of the capital and Liaodong, and was not comparable to Emperor Tianqi.

Therefore, he became more cautious. In Wen Zhao Pavilion, he bowed and said, "My minister, Sun Chengzong, pay homage to the emperor."

While drinking the porridge, Zhu Xu said, "Flat, come and move a stool with Lord Sun."

Zhu Xu didn't say nonsense. After Sun Chengzong sat down, he said directly, "I plan to reform the military system."

Zhu Xu had vaguely revealed this topic before, and Sun Chengzong bowed slightly and said, "I don't know, what is the emperor's thought?"

Zhu Xu stood up, wiped his mouth, and said, "You are doing a good job in Liaodong. Set up a barracks, five people and one room, three thousand battalions, five battalions are one unit, and two units are one army. I plan to draw from local garrisons as a standing army, and add the rest to various prefectures and counties. What do you think as a garrison?"

Sun Chengzong thought about Zhu Xu's words and vaguely understood, and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to abolish the garrison?"

The military system of the Ming Dynasty has always been chaotic, and Zhu Xu felt a sense of urgency, so he naturally couldn't wait to take action. Looking at Sun Chengzong, he said, "Yes, the garrison has been in chaos for hundreds of years and has no combat power. Surviving the fittest, I plan to build several armies that can fight."

Sun Chengzong thought that Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou were recruiting 30,000 soldiers, and it should be a single army.

He thought seriously and said, "Your Majesty, this matter needs to be progressed slowly. He said he would not leave the capital and go there himself. In addition, the Nine-Border Guards..."

"Don't move for the time being."

Zhu Xu interrupted him and said, "Start with the coastal provinces, I will order all places to suppress bandits, and the Ministry of War will supervise them. Once someone is in trouble, the Ministry of War can take action immediately. In short, within three months, I will achieve initial results. This time, we must be strict in the military management, rather than insignificant than indiscriminate!"
