After deciding on the plan of continuing to assimilate the Jurchens and investing huge sums of money in the development of the Northeast by the imperial court or internal treasury, it will be much easier to solve the Mongolian problem.

After all, the road from Baotou to Beijing has been completed, and the railway is about to be completed. And there are countless underground minerals in the entire Hetao area. It just so happens that the demand for steel has increased sharply in the Ming Dynasty. Then, expand the scale and scope of the Baotou Heavy Industry Base.

To increase production, it would be good to attract more Mongolians to work in the factory.

After the solutions to these major issues were basically determined, Zhu Youdong and his ministers began to discuss and make decisions on some regular issues of the country. Gradually, the meeting that started in the morning continued into the evening.

And while they were working hard for this country, in another room next to the conference room, several men from northern Shaanxi were already restless waiting.

"Oh, it's been a long time, why should we wait until it's time to kill?"

"Yes, Master Cheng, do you think the emperor will come when he kills the old man?"

"That's right. Although the food at lunch was delicious and the roujiamo at night was also very authentic. But we were sent to Beijing by the Chief Secretary of Shaanxi Province, so it's not just the emperor and his old man who invited us to have two meals, right?"

"Master Cheng, you said that the emperor wants to see you for murder? We didn't know each other before."

In this room of about 30 square meters, decorated in a simple yet grand style, Cheng Zongyou, the current number one master in Ouchi and Zhu Youdong's bodyguard, sat firmly in the first position to the left of the main seat, quietly

I closed my eyes and meditated for quite a while.

At first, these northern Shaanxi men sat quietly quietly. Even at noon and evening, they deliberately suppressed the sounds of eating. However, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

Well, according to the habits of people in this era, everyone had already gone to bed on the kang and hugged their mother-in-law to sleep. As a result, they still had to continue sitting here and waiting. Everyone couldn't hold it any longer.

A tall, yellow-faced man of eighteen or nineteen years old actually sat on the table as he spoke: "Do you think the emperor forgot about you and went back to sleep with the queen?"

"Unbridled!" Cheng Zongyou, who had just allowed these men to make noises without saying a word, suddenly opened his eyes. His sharp gaze made the yellow-faced man shrink back in fright, and he immediately used lightning speed to cover his ears.

At such speed, he rolled off the table.

He was not done rolling down yet. Forced by Cheng Zongyou's eyes, he simply continued to slide down and got directly under the table.

"Hahaha, Zhang Xianzhong, I didn't expect you to be such a coward!"

"Li Hongji, stop talking. When you came here in the morning, you had a fight with Master Cheng. What was the result? You didn't even survive the encounter!"

"Hmph, I can't beat Master Cheng, but I still can't deal with you!"

"Eh! How dare you, a coward, say that? Come on, let's have a good fight."

"Okay, okay, don't make trouble!" Two handsome-looking men in their thirties stood up at this time, each holding one. Then one of them, a dark-faced man who looked simple and honest, said: "Well, Master Cheng

, we are rough people and don’t understand the rules. This Huang Huzi said something wrong just now, and he deserves a fine. However, although this coward’s words were very rude, we are also wondering whether the emperor is treating us

Forgot."

Cheng Zongyou glanced at the man who spoke indifferently: "I will definitely do what the emperor has arranged. And sit down for me honestly!"

Just when the black-faced man was about to say a few more words, he heard a drake voice outside the door: "The Emperor has arrived."

As soon as this voice came out, several men who were restless just now quickly sat down in their seats and began to arrange their clothes. But when they looked up, they saw Cheng Zongyou, who had been sitting for a long time, actually stood up and faced towards

They made a respectful salute in the direction of the door of the room. Then they hurriedly jumped up from their chairs and began to imitate Cheng Zongyou's posture and assume similar postures.

The door opened, and after a burst of hearty laughter, a young man in his twenties, about 1.8 meters tall, and wearing a purple dragon robe walked in. Behind him, there was another man with bulging temples, who looked like a master at first sight.

A strong man. And a young general in military uniform with two general stars on each shoulder.

Is this the emperor? Sure enough, his momentum is extraordinary. When Zhu Youdong passed by them, they couldn't help but their throats rolled and they swallowed big mouthfuls of saliva.

"Okay, everyone, sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Cheng Zongyou said this, he sat down quietly. Tian Ergen and Li Chunzhong, who followed Zhu Youdong in, also took their seats naturally. But these men who were very active just now, you

Look at me, I look at you. Finally, I carefully bent over and gently placed my buttocks on the edge of the chair.

"Well..." After glancing at the men below, Zhu Youdong smiled and stretched out a finger: "Are you Wang Jiayin?"

The black-faced man who was pointed at listened to the voice, raised his head slightly and glanced at Zhu Youdong's finger with the corner of his eye. After confirming that the finger was pointing at himself, he immediately bounced up, and then his knees touched the lower level of the table.

It hit hard and made a loud noise.

But this man didn't dare to call out at all, he just lowered his head honestly: "Your Majesty, uh, it's not Wang Jiayin, uh, oh, the common man is Gao Yingxiang."

"Oh~" Nodding, Zhu Youdong turned to another man in his thirties: "Then you are Wang Jiayin?"

"Your Majesty, uh, no, no, the common man is Wang Jiayin."

"Yeah. Sit down, please sit down. Also, don't be too nervous. Just sit properly when I ask you to sit down. Don't hang your butt in the air. That will be so uncomfortable."

As soon as the emperor's words came out, these men all let out a big sigh of relief. However, no matter whether they vented their anger or sat down calmly, everyone buried their heads on their chests.

Then Zhu Youdong turned to a man who was also in his thirties but completely bald: "Are you Wang Ziyong?"

"The common people are for the king's own use."

"Well, then you are Zhang Xianzhong? Are you Li Hongji? Are you Luo Rucai?"

Zhu Youdong called over one by one, and everyone stood up and answered timidly but honestly. The slight difference was that Zhang Xianzhong was already a police officer in Yan'an Prefecture, so he claimed to be a minor official. And Li Hongji

? Because the people's livelihood in Shaanxi has improved a lot compared to the original level due to Yuan Yingtai's major water conservancy project and Huguang tea no longer entering Shaanxi. So he did not work as a postman. He was still a farmer at this time, so he could only call himself a grassroots man.

Looking at these guys who were as well-behaved as a group of quails, Zhu Youdong couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's a pity that his sixth brother Zhu Youjian is currently working as an incorruptible envoy in Huai'an Mansion and cannot be recruited for a while. Otherwise, let him stand.

It's a bit of fun to see how honest these guys are here.

After calming down, he took another look at these six sturdy men who were as squirming as little wives. Zhu Youdong chuckled: "Master Cheng, have you tried the kung fu of these six guys?"

"Your Majesty, I have all tried it one by one. Gao Yingxiang's kung fu is quite good, and his shooting skills are excellent. Zhang Xianzhong's equestrian skills are also considered adequate, and the rest are not worth mentioning."

"Hahaha, it seems quite remarkable to be able to get Master Cheng to say that he is good. Ergeng, do you think these guys have any improvement in value?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know how you found these guys. In my opinion, although these guys don't look good, they all have amazing bones. If they are trained well... Well, they are old after all.

, the potential is limited. However, as long as it is properly trained and its combat power is better than ordinary small flags, the general flag will still have no problem."

"Very good." After two bangs and two knocks on the table, Zhu Youdong said loudly: "You six, raise your heads."

The six men honestly raised their heads buried in their chests, their faces full of fear, confusion and even uneasiness.

"Maybe you are also wondering why I suddenly asked the Chief Secretary of Shaanxi Province to find the six of you and sent you all to Beijing. Don't say you are wondering, many of my ministers are also wondering. Now I am here to tell you that I called you here.

There is something big for you to do!"

After the six men looked at each other for a while, Wang Jiayin, the leader, spoke tremblingly: "I don't know that the emperor wants us to do a killing? But no matter it is a killing, as the emperor's subjects, we must fight with all our lives to do it for the emperor.

good."

"You will train in Beijing for one year. In terms of personal martial arts, Jinyiwei will find a teacher for you. Master Cheng will also give you guidance when he is free. In military terms, you mainly follow this man." Zhu Youdong pointed to Li Chunzhong: "Learn from him.

Although General Li has been in Beijing as the commander of the Guards Division for a long time, in fact, I have been asking him to do research on guerrilla warfare in these years. There is a regiment in the Guards Division that is specially used to practice guerrilla warfare."

"At the end of this year's training, if you don't pass the test, get out and go back to farm your land. If you pass the test, I will give each of your families three hundred silver dollars as settlement allowance, and then your lives will be mine.

At that time, I will send you to America!"

"America?" After all, he studied for a few years as a child and worked as a policeman, so Zhang Xianzhong still wanted to read Chang'an Daily: "Your Majesty, isn't that a Spanish colony?"

"Exactly. This Spanish wolf has great ambitions. In addition to selling drugs to our Ming Dynasty and killing our people, they have also recently launched a war of annihilation against our allies in the Ming Dynasty. Not only that, they have also established vast colonies in the Americas, and are attacking the Ming Dynasty.

The indigenous people there who are also yellow race and descendants of the Yin Shang are brutally ruled. All the above is simply outrageous and cannot be tolerated! Therefore, I have decided to send you to the Americas to fight guerrillas and encourage the descendants of the Yin Shang there to rise up and resist.

Spanish colonial rule.”

"..." The six men looked at me and I, all in a trance: This sounds like such a difficult job, why did it suddenly come to us?

"Before you, I have sent back two Yin Di'an natives who have studied in our Ming Dynasty for many years. After you study and take the exam, you will also go there. Everyone, if you don't have such an opportunity, you will be confined to northern Shaanxi for most of your life.

In the end, this place will just end up in obscurity for the rest of its life. If you seize this opportunity, America is so big that you can roam freely, and you will leave your name in history... In short, in my opinion, such an opportunity,

Wouldn’t it be a pity if we didn’t catch it?”

Looking at the six men who were starting to get a little excited, Zhu Youdong laughed happily: "It's too late today, so I'll just say this much. In the days to come, you will slowly understand that this matter has been done.

Your profits will be huge. Well, the eunuch will take you out of the palace later to find a place to rest. Starting tomorrow, Tian Ergen and Li Chunzhong, you will be responsible for the specific arrangements."

"I accept the order and send it to the Emperor respectfully."

"Well, let's do it." After getting up and walking out of the room for two steps, Zhu Youdong suddenly turned his head: "Oh, by the way, Li Hongji, I'm not used to your current name. Let's change it to Li Zicheng, hahaha~
Chapter completed!
