Forbidden City, Ganqing Palace.

Zhu Youjian was behind the imperial case.

"Lu Xiangsheng listened to the order."

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Gao Qiqian, who was serving the side, quickly lay on the ground when he heard this, laying rice paper and carrying a pen to record the emperor's imperial decree.

"I only govern the world with literature and suppress the rebellion with martial arts. It is rare in the world. Now I heard that the famous prefect Lu Xiangsheng of the Great Master, who can govern the world with literature and martial arts, is also outstanding in martial arts. He is loyal to the country and has a deep impression of my wishes. He was promoted to the Governor of the Grand Marshal's Office and is dedicated to the training of military affairs."

In the Ganqing Palace, needles can be heard.

Lu Xiangsheng, Gao Qiqian, two people who would have become enemies in history. At this time, one knelt down and obeyed the order, and the other wrote an edict for him.

The external ministers take their orders and the internal ministers take their duties. The scene is really strange.

Zhu Youxuan looked at this scene carefully, and the tragic battle of Julu in history filled his mind.

In the 12th year of Chongzhen, the Qing army entered the pass, and Lu Xiangsheng pursued the Qing army to Jiazhuang, Julu, Hebei, but was surrounded by him.

Lu Xiangsheng immediately fought at Julu and sent troops to Gaoqiqian's troops within fifty miles to seek help.

But Gao Qiqian refused because the enemy situation was unknown and he could not fight wildly.

Lu Xiangsheng had no choice but to fight to the death. In the end, he weighed four arrows and three blades and died heroically.

At that time, there were only more than 7,000 Qing troops besieged Lu Xiangsheng, while Gao Qiqian's troops supported 30,000 troops.

"Your Majesty, I have prepared it. Please read it."

Gao Qiqian's voice brought Zhu Youjian's thoughts back to reality.

After receiving the edict that Gao Qiqian had drafted, Zhu Youjian watched it sentence by sentence and said in a moment.

"Good, just use the printing and send it to the Ministry of Justice and record it."

After sending Gao Qiqian away, Zhu Youjianxu helped Lu Xiangsheng up and saw that he looked puzzled.

"It seems that something is wrong with Lu Aiqing?"

Zhu Youjian sat back on the imperial seat, took a sip of Longjing in front of the rain, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"When I go back to Your Majesty, I am ignorant. I dare to ask Your Majesty, where is the Grand Marshal's Mansion? I have not heard of this yamen before leaving the capital."

"The Grand Marshal's Office is not the former dynasty's office, but this is a new one I have set up today."

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, his heart immediately skipped a beat, but after smelling it, he asked again.

"I dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the rank of this Grand Marshal's Mansion? There are also some officials, what are they all?"

"The Grand Marshal's Office is rankless and unqualified. If you insist on comparing your status, your position is equivalent or even higher than that of the cabinet."

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he was stunned.

In addition to the cabinet, is there a Grand Marshal's Office?

But Zhu Youjian ignored Lu Xiangsheng's loss of composure and then released more explosive news.

"There is still one general in charge of the Grand Marshal's Office, who is in the fourth rank, and other officials are still looking for it."

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng almost exploded on the spot.

I love myself, and I am the first and only official in the Grand Marshal's Mansion.

Lu Xiangsheng suddenly wanted to cry and wanted to go back to Daming Gan's prefect. Although the prefect is a fifth rank, there are more than 800,000 people in seven counties that can manage it.

The fourth-ranked bare commander is still the bare commander.

Lu Xiangsheng felt a little crying and was relieved, so he calmed down and asked another question.

"What is your intention to set up a Grand Marshal's Mansion?"

Lu Xiangsheng was excited and simply forgot about the respectful title.

Fortunately, Zhu Youjian didn't care about these etiquettes.

"Correction of new troops will restore the power of our Ming Dynasty, expand territory, and reshape the world's pattern."

Zhu Youjian talked about the responsibilities and missions of the Grand Marshal's Office in high spirits.

If in Zhu Youjian's previous life, this sentence would be engraved on the welcome stone of the company's main entrance, and it is called: Company culture.

But such chicken soup did not touch Lu Xiangsheng, who had already felt cold.

"I wonder, who is the highest officer of this Grand Marshal's Mansion?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youjian put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and faced the outside of the hall, and said solemnly.

"I!"

------

Two days later, Lu Xiangsheng packed up and went to the West Mountain to perform the first task assigned by Zhu Youjian.

With him, several officials from the newly established department of the Jinyiwei were also here.

After Luo Sigong was restored to his post, Zhu Youjian ordered him to reorganize the Jinyiwei and concentrate on building the Political Security Department and the Intelligence Department.

The Political Security Department is mainly internal, while the Intelligence Department is mainly external. The current task is to infiltrate the Houjin and establish a preliminary underground intelligence network.

This time, the political security department of the Jinyiwei was accompanied by Lu Xiangsheng.

Half an hour later, several people came to Xishan Coal Kiln.

After revealing his identities with the mine owners, Lu Xiangsheng lit up a wooden sign.

The letter: The emperor recruits troops, pays one or two taels of monthly salary, pays for disability, and resettlement, does not become a military citizen, and does not deduct military pay. If you are interested, you have always signed up.

The West Mountain is the remnant of Taihang, the western suburbs of the capital. It has always produced coal, and there are many miners here.

Miners are brave and hardworking people.

"Ji Xiaoxin Book" once said: Because his mountain mines earned life in stones, worked extremely hard, and were often organized and used to fight, it was a good thing for recruiting troops.

As Qi Shaobao said, Zhu Youjian regarded Xishan coal mine workers as the first target of recruitment.

According to the early investigation of the Dongchang Factory, the monthly money of Xishan coal miners is generally between five cents and one tael of silver.

The majority of its personnel are landless farmers near the capital and bankrupt small handicraftsmen, as well as refugees from all over the world who have flocked to the capital over the years.

Compared to the life of a miner who is in danger of peace, Zhu Youjian felt that his military career with a monthly salary of one or two taels is more attractive to them.

As expected, in just three days, Lu Xiangsheng recruited enough of the first thousand soldiers.

At first, the actual number of people reported was more than 5,000, but after measuring the recruitment standards set by Zhu Youjian, there were only less than 2,000 left.

The adult males of this era have poor physical fitness, even the same is true for miners who are famous for their sturdyness.

Unlike Qi Shaobao, which only focuses on the physique of soldiers, the recruitment standards of the new army are more comprehensive.

In addition to the investigation of physical fitness such as height, weight, physical strength, endurance and physical strength, Zhu Youjian also ordered officials from the Jinyi Health and Political Security Department to conduct a survey on the family status, neighborhood evaluation, personal quality of each recruit.

Finally, after the Political Security Department issued a political qualification appraisal, Lu Xiangsheng finally confiscated the first batch of 1,000 people.

Lu Xiangsheng was also surprised by these recruitment methods, but after careful consideration, he realized that Zhu Youjian had a profound plan, so he bowed and followed him step by step.

While Lu Xiang was expelling troops from Xishan, an edict issued a letter to the thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty at a speed of 800 miles.

‘You don’t see the Han army, and the weak crowns are the enemy who are requesting long tassels.’

‘You don’t see Ban Dingyuan, the light cavalry in Jueyu urged the battle against the clouds.’

‘A man should be in danger, how can he let the Confucian Guan lose his life?’

‘What’s more, the country is in danger and the feathered edicts are endless.’

‘Give up my pen and put on my collar in war.’

‘After calling out more than 100,000 classmates, singing war songs and joining the army.’

"Qi joined the army, purified Hu dust, and sweared to wipe out the Hu captains without regard for their own lives!"
