Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

General Li Han would never have dreamed that the reason why he was able to succeed so smoothly was because Prince Xin was deliberately letting him win!

On the other side, at the Shenjiying.

It was already the middle of the Yin hour. Lu Xiangsheng had dealt with three waves of fire bulls one after another. The corpses of the bulls almost blocked the gate of the Shenji Camp.

The thing that worried him the most did not happen. There was no trace of the Jinyiwei in the east, west and north directions of the military camp.

He looked at the cow corpse beside him, took out a dagger, dug out a piece of burnt beef from it, took a big bite, and frowned in some confusion.

"You made such a big noise, could it be harassment?"

But at this moment, the officer sitting next to him suddenly pointed towards the duty room.

"Master Guan Cao, look over there!"

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he looked and was shocked to find that a group of Jinyiwei were walking towards him from the duty room!

Damn it!

When did these people sneak into the military camp?

Why didn't I receive any message?

Before he could figure out what was going on, Zhen Beiwang, wearing a Feiyu suit, had already appeared in front of him.

Zhen Beiwang smiled as he reached out to snatch the piece of beef from Lu Xiangsheng. He then took out a small bag of spices from his arms and sprinkled them evenly on the still steaming piece of meat.

Then, he took a big bite!

"Hmm! Smells good! The heat is just right, Lu Guancao, thank you!"

After saying that, he waved his hand to the Jinyiwei behind him and said, "Brothers, retreat!"

One of the centurions pointed at the cow carcasses scattered all over the ground and said greedily: "Sir, these cows???"

"Snapped!"

Zhen Beiwang slapped him directly: "How can this be! The brothers of the Shenji Camp have been disturbed by us for two days, shouldn't we give them some compensation?"

The centurion shrank his neck and dared not say another word.

Lu Xiangsheng was stunned!

What the hell?

You show up so brazenly, don't you treat me as a human being?

"Give me..."

"Run!"

Before he could finish his words, he saw Zhen Beiwang stuff the beef into his arms, drop the stick and run away.

And those Jinyiwei rushed out of the camp gate like rabbits.

Lu Xiangsheng: ????

Soldiers of Shenjiying: ???

Damn it!

gone?

Leaving now?

Just leave like that? ?

Chapter 81 Fifth brother, you are too narrow-minded! ~

November 9th.

Although today is the last day of the test for Sun Kangwang and his team, there is no need to wait any longer.

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao looked at Sun Kangwang and others, and listened to Wei Zhongxian and others narrating the details of the examination. He was so happy that he almost couldn't help laughing.

They released bees, poisoned people, harassed people, used fire bulls, and dug tunnels. Even Liu Shuo, the former commander of the Ma Army, and Zhang Weixian launched a propaganda offensive...

This is fucking outrageous. It’s outrageous to open the door!

Outrageous home!

But when he got to Prince Xin, he only said two simple words.

"Your Majesty, I was caught off guard and was knocked unconscious by Captain Li."

"My brother's companion also sent palace guards to chase him, but he was alone, and after leaving the palace, he could not be found again........."

Hasty!

Zhu Youxiao only had this feeling.

Prince Xin is too careless!

"Wei Zhongxian, draft an edict!"

"Sun Kangwang, the captain of the elephant training station, has been promoted to the commander of the Jinyiwei and is in charge of the Jinyiwei!"

"Qin Beiwang, the commander of the Northern Pacification Division, has been promoted to the position of deputy commander of the Imperial Guards and commander of the Northern Pacification Division!"

"Liu Shuo, the former captain of the cavalry, has been promoted to the commander of the Jinyiwei and the commander of the Western Office!"

"General Li, the former commander of the Qianhu, is promoted to the position of deputy commander of the Jinyiwei and the commander of the East Office!"

"The vacant positions will be openly recommended from the corresponding thousand households!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

Wei Zhongxian's pen flew into the air, and Sun Kangwang and the other three knelt down to express their gratitude.

The duties of the Jinyiwei are actually not just about investigation, arrest and interrogation as shown in movies and TV dramas.

It is internally divided into the East Office, the West Office, the Street Office, and two North and South Pacification Offices.

The Dongsifang is in charge of investigating major matters such as misconduct, rumors, murder, robbery, and treason inside and outside the capital. It does not interfere in other military and civilian lawsuits or matters outside the capital.

The person in charge of the West Office was responsible for theft and robbery, as well as fraud, extortion, embezzlement of government silver, forgery of seals, and "evil books and evil words".

The situation of street houses is awkward. Their status is more like a combination of street aunties, cleaners and joint defense teams.

In addition to investigating fires, murders, gambling, fighting, etc., they are also responsible for dredging drains and repairing streets, as well as...

Sweeping the streets!

The Southern Pacification Division was in charge of the criminal law of the Jinyiwei and was responsible for anti-corruption and investigations within the Jinyiwei.

However, in film and television works, what is feared is actually another department of the Jinyiwei - the Beizhenfusi, which is in charge of the imperial prison!

The Northern Pacification Office was not responsible for arrests, only interrogations.

Prisoners caught by other departments, except those for civil crimes which needed to be handed over to Shuntian Prefecture or Dali Temple for handling, all those involved in treason, official misconduct, spreading rumors, etc., would be sent to the Northern Pacification Division for questioning.

Previously, almost all the leaders of the Jinyiwei were killed by Wei Zhongxian. Although there are four of them now, it will still take some time for the Jinyiwei to return to normal.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand to them and said, "All of you please leave. Do your best to live up to my expectations of you."

Sun Kangwang and the other three bowed again, then stood up and left the Qianqing Palace.

Shortly after walking out of the hall, General Li Han approached Sun Kangwang and said with an unwilling look on his face.

"Commander-in-chief, I have a favor to ask of you!"

Sun Kangwang looked at him curiously: "Just what you said."

General Li Han said, "His Highness Prince Xin insulted me! I have figured it out. He must have deliberately let me get the token easily! So I want to send a few spies to Prince Xin's mansion!"

Sun Kangwang slapped him directly: "What are you thinking? It's your blessing to be insulted by His Royal Highness Prince Xin!"

"You're sending spies to investigate me!"

After saying that, he glared at General Li fiercely and strode towards the Meridian Gate.

Li Hanjiang: (* ￣︿￣)

Damn, you have raised an elephant, so you have the final say!

Who told me I've never touched such a big bird...

Zhu Youxiao had no idea what was happening outside. He was thinking about the list handed to him by Prince Xin.

The list includes officials from the opposition.

These people were either in mourning, dismissed, or resigned from office, for various reasons.

It was not until Zhu Youxiao saw Yuan Chonghuan's name on the list that he became interested.

This guy is a stubborn person, or you can say he is self-willed.

But I have to admit that when it comes to defending a city, he is quite capable!

At least, the Ningyuan victory he led was the first major victory of the Ming Dynasty over the Later Jin!

The biggest failure in his military career was the killing of Mao Wenlong without authorization!

It was precisely this reason that led to the rebellion of Geng Jingzhong, Shang Kexi and others, causing the Ming Dynasty to lose the means to control the Jurchens from the rear!

As for the later claims that he deliberately let the Later Jin take a detour through Xifengkou, this is completely unexplainable and there is no corresponding historical data to support it.

But for Zhu Youxiao, it doesn’t matter whether it was released intentionally or not!

The important thing is that what he most hopes to see is that the Later Jin will come in from Xifengkou as it did in history!

Therefore, in order to ensure that future plans are not affected and to allow Shanhaiguan to develop in accordance with the course of history, it is a good choice to go with the flow.

Let Yuan Chonghuan come back temporarily and go outside the Great Wall to perform for Huang Taiji!

Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment and said to Wei Zhongxian:

"Issue an order to have Yuan Chonghuan go to Liaodong as the governor-general and be in charge of the war outside the Great Wall!"

"Tell him that I already know his five-year plan to pacify Liao. There is no need for him to show off in front of me!"

"Outside Shanhaiguan, I give him the right to act as he pleases, but I forbid him to set foot in Dongjiang!"

"Also, let Wang Zhichen retreat back to Shanhaiguan to assist Yuan Chonghuan!"

Prince Xin was delighted to see that the candidates he recommended were given important positions. In order to prepare this list, he worked late into the night and studied the resumes of all the officials on it!

In addition to Yuan Chonghuan, there was another name on the list that caught Zhu Youxiao's attention.

Wang Zheng!

He was formerly the magistrate of Guangping Prefecture in Zhili, and is now in mourning at home.

Although his previous official position was not prominent, he wrote books such as "Illustrated Description of Newly Made Instruments" and "Illustrated Description of Strange Instruments from the Far West" during his period of mourning.

This guy is a big shot!

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Xu in the South and Wang in the North!

The Southern Xu is Xu Guangqi, and the Northern Wang is Wang Zheng!

Prince Xin's suggestion was to transfer this person to the capital to fill the vacancy of Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works.

Zhu Youxiao put the list down and glanced at Prince Xin.

"Fifth brother, you are too narrow-minded!"

Prince Xin was confused: "Why do you say that, my brother?"

Zhu Youxiao reached out and tapped on the list a few times, then spoke seriously.

"How can the Right Assistant Minister be worthy of Wang Zheng's talent!"

"In my opinion, if Wu Chunfu didn't have any serious problems, I would have asked him to give up his position to Wang Zheng!"

After saying this, with Prince Xin looking at him with astonishment, he looked at Wei Zhongxian standing beside him.

"Prepare the decree!"

"Order Wang Zheng to be the Left Vice Minister, and confer him the titles of Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince and Grand Secretary of Jianji Palace!"

What the hell?

Prince Xin felt as if he was struck by lightning!

He quickly stood up and dissuaded him, saying, "Brother, this is not appropriate..."
