After several tables of food were served, their eyes were red. They had never seen such good food in their lives. Everyone ate happily, and everyone's stomach was very full, especially the oily shine on the corners of their mouths.
their satisfaction.
After eating, Zhu Ling immediately summoned them to ask some questions.
"How long is the secret passage? Where is the exit? How many people can it accommodate?"
Zhu Ling's purpose in asking these questions was naturally to enter Nanjing through this secret passage, so that he could enter the palace secretly without being discovered. When the army came to Nanjing, he could rescue the queen and others, and then Ma Shiying would
There must be no chips left. The biggest problem now is naturally the other ministers except Wu Linzheng.
Last time, only Wu Linzheng and three others were pulled out to be beheaded, but dozens of other ministers were missing, and not even a single message was received. More than once, Zhu Ling thought that all of them had been secretly killed.
"Your Majesty, if the secret passage can be walked normally, it will take at least two or three hours. The exit is by a river outside Nanjing City. And if we talk about how many people can be accommodated, I am afraid that a few hundred people will not be a problem."
After thinking about it, he immediately bowed and answered.
"Okay, very good. You go down first."
"According to the decree."
After several people retreated, Zhu Ling immediately summoned Wang Jiayan, Shi Kefa and Zhu Dadian.
"Your Majesty wants to establish a Mo Dao team?"
When several people heard that His Majesty wanted to form a Mo Dao team, they couldn't help but be interested. Naturally, they knew the so-called Mo Dao. It was a broadsword from the Tang Dynasty. It was so powerful that it could cut a horse in two with one blow.
.The person holding the Mo Dao must be as strong as an ox in order to unleash the full strength of the Mo Dao.
Rather than forming the Modao Team, it would be better to say that Zhu Ling wanted to form an ancient special forces unit.
Wearing heavy armor, almost every inch of skin is protected by armor. They hold Mo Dao and carry bows and arrows. Everyone must be a marksman and must be no less than 1.8 meters tall. This appearance alone shows their aura.
It will frighten a large number of enemies.
"How many people does Your Majesty plan to arrange?" Zhu Dadian was also a little moved by His Majesty's proposal. It has really never been possible to form such a Mo Dao team. And if everyone is like this, then there will basically not be many
He can defeat this army. Who can not be tempted by this?
"The current number is set at three hundred, and then I will personally command it, just like the Jin Yiwei. But if I am not commanded by the Jin Yiwei, at most Wang Chengen will be the one to handle it. Others, such as salary, I have also thought about it. No one has twelve per month.
Wen Yin, if you perform meritorious service, your salary can be increased again."
Ten taels of silver?
Your Majesty has made a big move this time!
Ordinary soldiers can only earn more than one tael of grain silver per month at best. Ten taels of grain silver is a direct increase of ten times! Three hundred people are worth 3,000 taels in a month, and 3,600 taels in a year. If it is more
After achieving military merit, the salary of these people will directly match the salary of the court ministers! It can be said that it is not generous!
"Your Majesty, if this army is formed, it will definitely frighten the enemy!" Wang Jiayan is also looking forward to the formation of this army and wants to see how powerful this army's combat effectiveness will be.
"There is a secret passage in the old palace of Yingtian Mansion, which can lead directly to the outside of the city. I think this way, if we form a 300-person Mo Dao team, when we are about to formally attack the city, this 300-man Mo Dao team will
The team can then lead directly to the palace through the secret passage. I don't expect three hundred people to kill Ma Shiying or capture Liu Liangzuo. They only need to get all the people inside out."
"If this is really the case, then if Ma Shiying finds out, wouldn't it be like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth?" Shi Kefa didn't want to see that he had just spent a lot of money to form the Mo Dao team, but all of them were killed before they were officially put into the battlefield.
"Moreover, the strength of the Modao team needs to be verified and cannot be put into use easily." Of course, Zhu Dadian also had the same idea. Even though it sounds like the Modao team is very brave, if something goes wrong, the whole army will be destroyed.
The end of destruction.
Hearing this, Zhu Ling chuckled and said: "I have already thought about this matter. The eight hundred soldiers and horses I had formed privately before were completely wiped out. Everyone advised me not to send a large army for revenge. I have been enduring this.
In my heart, now I have a chance for revenge. Let this Mo Dao team help me find out what kind of thieves destroyed my eight hundred soldiers and horses!"
…
As soon as the Mo Dao Team's recruitment notice was posted, it immediately aroused the interest of the army sergeants. With the words of some literate people, everyone understood its meaning.
"Today, the country is in crisis, and there is a disaster. We have specially established a victorious army to alleviate the crisis of our Ming Dynasty. Three hundred people are selected from the army and the common people. Anyone who plans to participate must be no less than 1 in height.
Miba (I found out that one foot is equal to one meter, but I always feel that there is something wrong with a person being one foot and eight, so I can only write it like this). He needs to be as strong as an ox, can easily handle weapons weighing thirty kilograms, has a clean family background, and is loyal to the emperor and patriotic.
Priority will be given to those with priority.”
"Where's the salary? How much is the salary?"
After hearing the above content, many people wanted to know how much salary such a troop could get. So they crowded in front to hear how much the salary was. This was what they were most concerned about.
"Salary...?"
The man who read the notice to them was a little dumbfounded. He thought he had read it wrong, so he did not dare to read on. But looking at it, it seemed that the notice was written like this, and he really saw it right.
"I said, Lao Zhang, what are you doing? Read it! How much is the salary? Brothers are all waiting for it!"
"Yes, have you written it?"
"Isn't it too low?"
Seeing that Lao Zhang was still silent, the people behind him were also very anxious, and they kept urging him.
Lao Zhang couldn't stand the urging of everyone, so he could only recite: "The salary is ten taels of silver per person per month. Every time a task is successfully completed, in addition to 101010, each person will receive an additional salary of ten taels of silver, which can be accumulated."
"what does it mean?"
"That is to say, the salary is ten taels of silver per person at the beginning, which is every month! And as long as you complete a task, in addition to the official position, you can also add ten taels of silver to the salary, no limit to the number of times!"
After hearing such generous treatment, everyone went crazy! Twelve taels of silver! It took more than half a year to earn it, but now it only takes a month to get it. In the future, if you achieve military merit, you will not only get rewards, but also your own
You can also increase your salary! You will never find such a generous salary in your lifetime.
Therefore, as soon as that old Zhang finished speaking, everyone rushed to the registration office to join the Modao team.
Of course, not just anyone can enter the Mo Dao Team. Many people were removed just because of their innocent background. Zhu Ling learned this from the establishment and review procedures of later generations, in order to prevent his team from
The team was affected in other ways.
Secondly, there is the requirement to be as strong as an ox. First, they must be able to swing the Mo Dao back and forth and make various difficult movements to verify the strength of these people. Even if it cannot be said how strong they are,
But at least you must be very fluent in using weapons. There are tens of thousands of people who signed up, and just these two points alone immediately attracted nearly 8,000 people.
There are less than 3,000 people left and the assessment is continuing.
More than 1,800 people passed the height test, and now only 1,000 people are left. The assessment on the first day was so ruthless and cruel, from tens of thousands of people participating to only 1,000 people left in the end.
"It's really beyond my expectation that there are so many people left today." Looking at the data reported by Wang Guoxing, Zhu Ling couldn't help but sigh. It seems that there are still masters in the army.
"Your Majesty, if there are really more people by then? Should we also directly increase the number limit of the Mo Dao team?"
"That's inevitable. Our review is already quite stringent. If there are still many people who can pass, why not? I can think of a way. King Lu should still have a lot of money. Ask him.
, let’s see how the purchase of my alcohol goes?”
"According to the order!"
…
"Your Majesty! I really have no money!" As soon as he saw Zhu Ling, King Lu knew what he was going to do. Even then he knelt down and cried: "I have only taken over this stall for a month, and you have already asked me for money at least twice.
.Originally, the daily production of alcohol is not much, so even if I raise the price, I really can’t afford so much money!”
Hearing King Lu's cry, Zhu Ling was also a little confused: "How much silver have you sold now? How much money is left, and how much silver can you get in the next half month?"
"Although we have sold a lot, the output is limited and most of them are booked in advance. As a result, we can now get less than 2 million taels in half a month, but of which 1.5 million taels have to be paid.
It will be handed over to the national treasury, and the rest will continue to be made into alcohol. If your Majesty wants one million taels, I really don’t have it!"
King Lu was also frightened by Zhu Ling's demands, each time asking for millions, and he was not a moneymaker. The speed of selling was not as fast as His Majesty's demand for money, which really made him uncomfortable.
"Okay, okay, please step back!" Seeing King Lu's appearance, Zhu Ling felt helpless and could only ask him to leave quickly.
As soon as he heard that he could leave, King Lu hurriedly got up and left here as if he had been granted amnesty.
After he left, Zhu Ling was inevitably a little depressed. He didn't expect King Lu to have any money. But now it costs a lot to set up the Modao team, which must be taken seriously. But if they go on an expedition, the military expenditure of tens of thousands of troops is also a big deal.
The amount is small, so where does this money come from? It is really a question.
Just when he was at a loss what to do, Wang Chengen suddenly came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the reply from the intruder has arrived."
