Chapter 212 Select the Admiral of the Navy! 【Ask for a monthly ticket】
After appeasing the British public and others, Chu Yi returned to the high platform of the school grounds, where a famous soldier received the silver reward from the Chinese soldier with a happy face.
When all the soldiers dispersed with their pay and silver, Chu Yi looked at the original five million taels of grain silver on the ground. Now there were only about one million taels left. In other words, in one day, he had enough
A total of four million taels were distributed.
This was a total of four million taels of grain silver, which was equivalent to the tax money the Ming Dynasty received in one year, and it was just distributed by Chu Yi in one day.
Early on the next morning, Chu Yi beat drums in the army to gather the generals. It seemed that because of Chu Yi's previous killings, the generals in the army did not dare to be careless in the slightest. Now after the three drums, all the
Appear in the big tent on time.
Chu Yi, who was sitting there, glanced at the darkness in the big tent. There were at least hundreds of generals, and even this big tent could not accommodate them.
Zhang Mao and other nobles came here more just to serve as a foil, to show that the nobles sided with Chu Yi and firmly supported Chu Yi in reorganizing the Beijing camp. However, this does not mean that these nobles can control the power in the army.
.
Nowadays, the power in the army is in the hands of the Ministry of War. Fortunately, the Minister of the Ministry of War was named Yang Yiqing by the emperor, and Yang Yiqing has a good relationship with Chu Yi. Even if he does not stand on Chu Yi's side in everything, he will not ruin Chu Yi's affairs.
Now that the emperor has ordered the reorganization of the Beijing Camp, even if Yang Yiqing returns, I am afraid that nothing will change. When the reorganization of the Beijing Camp is completed, at that time, the Ministry of War's control over the Beijing Camp will definitely plummet to the limit, and it will be able to make the Beijing Camp
The camp was completely freed from the control of the civilian clique.
Looking at the generals, Chu Yi slowly said: "Generals, the old, weak, sick and disabled in the army have been eliminated. The 180,000 Beijing camp army is still short of more than 100,000, so we have to trouble you generals to recruit troops.
Already."
The generals led by Han Kun suddenly prostrated themselves and said respectfully to Chu Yi: "We will obey the order of the general manager."
After looking at everyone with satisfaction, Chu Yi muttered and said: "I will give you a month. After one month, I will see all 180,000 strong men gathered on this campus to recruit soldiers.
All the needed Anjia Yin must be distributed. If I let this governor know that anyone dares to embezzle Mo's military salary, then don't blame me for being unkind."
All the generals couldn't help but think of the scene of hundreds of colleagues' heads rolling in the school field yesterday, and they couldn't help but shudder. Even if some people had that idea in their minds, they were instantly extinguished.
Who doesn't know that Chu Yi really doesn't even blink when he kills people? He even kills all the powerful people. How difficult is it for Chu Yi to kill a warrior among them?
After beating the generals of the army, Chu Yi waved his hand and said: "Go down, everyone. One month later, there will be 180,000 soldiers and one less person. I, Governor Wei Er, are waiting for me to ask!"
"Here!"
All the generals agreed with a bang.
Accompanying Chu Yi in the military camp for two days was really a torture for the British Duke Zhang Mao and others. After Chu Yi finished handling military affairs, several Dukes came to
Come and say goodbye to Chu Yi.
Chu Yi watched Zhang Mao and others leave, returned to the tent and ordered generals Han Kun and Cheng Xiangwu to find them.
Han Kun and Cheng Xiangwu walked into the big tent and bowed to Chu Yi, then bowed down: "General, I will pay my respects to the general manager!"
Chu Yi stretched out his hand and said, "There is no need to be polite, two generals. Let's get up and talk!"
Signaling the two of them to sit down, Han Kun had followed Chu Yi for a long time and could be regarded as Chu Yi's confidant. Now he looked at Chu Yi and said: "Supervisor, I don't know if General Zhao will be with General Cheng."
Come, but what are your orders?"
Chu Yi glanced at the two of them and said: "You two should know that the governor wants to form a navy!"
Cheng Xiangwu and Han Kun looked at each other, nodded in unison and said, "The general will know later."
Chu Yi nodded and looked at the two of them and said: "I am recruiting you two today. I just want to ask who of you two is willing to be the newly formed naval admiral!"
Both Cheng Xiangwu and Han Kun were stunned when they heard this. They really didn't expect that Chu Yi recruited them for the purpose of selecting the navy admiral.
Cheng Xiangwu's eyes lit up, but when he saw Han Kun sitting beside him, Cheng Xiangwu couldn't help but darken his expression.
Compared with Han Kunlai, his status in Chu Yi's mind is naturally somewhat different. There is only one position for admiral of the navy. Chu Yi obviously prefers one of them when he recruits them both.
Naturally, they have to judge the position of Navy Admiral by themselves, but no matter what, if Chu Yi can take it seriously, it is obvious that this position will definitely not be bad.
Compared to Cheng Xiangwu, Han Kun was naturally quite hesitant.
Cheng Xiangwu could think of it, and Han Kun could also think of it, how he didn't know the importance of the Navy Admiral, but compared with it, his current position was not bad at all.
Although the Four Guards of Tengxiang said they had four commanders, the other three were killed and dismissed. Under such circumstances, the Four Guards of Tengxiang could be said to respect him and let go of the people they were so familiar with.
To be honest, Han Kun was really hesitant to become a navy admiral instead of holding a position.
Chu Yi sat there, his eyes falling on the two of them, and naturally he saw their expressions and reactions.
Han Kun's hesitation and entanglement, Cheng Xiangwu's yearning and scruples, Chu Yi could roughly tell what they were thinking just by looking at their expressions, and at the same time he made a decision in his heart.
With a slight cough, Cheng Xiangwu and Han Kun turned their eyes to Chu Yi. At this moment, they heard Chu Yi say: "General Han, I have thought about it carefully. The four guards of Tengxiang cannot do without the general in charge of the overall situation for the time being, so
It is said that General Cheng Xiangwu will be appointed as the Navy Admiral!"
Cheng Xiangwu couldn't help but look happy when he heard this, while Han Kun breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little disappointed in his heart, but he still bowed to Cheng Xiangwu and said, "Congratulations on your appointment, Uncle Wu!"
Cheng Xiangwu hurriedly returned the greeting and said: "Uncle An Yuan is too polite. Thanks to Uncle An Yuan for giving in, Cheng Xiangwu is very grateful!"
Han Kun has made great achievements in pacifying the rebels this time. Although Han Kun was not included in the previous court rewards, his rewards were not missed. He was named An Yuanbo, which can be regarded as a new promotion.
One of the nobles.
Han Kun stood up and left, but Cheng Xiangwu was left behind by Chu Yi.
Chu Yi looked at Cheng Xiangwu. Cheng Xiangwu only looked at his appearance as a rude man, but Chu Yi did not treat him as a rude man.
After all, Cheng Xiangwu also came from a military family. His ancestors had been generals in the guard for generations, but in Cheng Xiangwu's generation, there was a man with outstanding qualifications like Cheng Xiangwu.
The Ming Dynasty had banned the sea for more than a hundred years, and there were no outstanding people among the few remaining naval forces. When Chu Yi established the navy this time, he didn't even have talents, so he could only choose from among the military generals.
After much deliberation, Cheng Xiangwu was far more suitable than the other generals.
Under Chu Yi's gaze, Cheng Xiangwu sat there upright, and Chu Yi could only hear Chu Yi say: "General Cheng, the reason why I finally selected you as the newly formed naval admiral is because you are not bad at water.
You are also naturally eager to learn, and you are not afraid of knowing how to fight with water. As long as you are willing to learn, you will eventually learn it. Do you have confidence?"
Cheng Xiangwu suddenly stood up, clasped his fists and saluted Chu Yi, saying: "The general will definitely live up to the expectations of the governor."
Chu Yi nodded and said with a smile: "That's very good. The governor will first allocate you one hundred thousand taels of silver. You can go to the southeastern coastal areas and recruit people who are proficient in water properties from the poor people on the coast. You have to recruit all the people within half a year.
Ten thousand people, you can be sure!"
Cheng Xiangwu said respectfully: "The last general dares to issue a military order. Within half a year, he will definitely return with ten thousand men who are proficient in water properties!"
Watching Cheng Xiangwu leave, Chu Yi stood up slowly, looked towards the direction of the Forbidden City, and sighed softly: "The establishment of the navy and the reorganization of the capital camp are on track, but the next step is to find a way to solve the problem of military pay.
problem.”
There are Zhang Mao and several other nobles and dignitaries watching nearby. If they don't come up with a solution to the military pay, Zhang Mao and others will definitely go to meet the emperor in a few days.
In the Forbidden City, after Zhu Houzhao returned to the palace, he was much more diligent than usual in both attending court in the morning and handling government affairs.
Although he is still a little addicted to playing, he never delays military and state affairs. In addition, he practices Taoist health-preserving methods every day under the supervision of Master Shao Yuanjie, and his body and bones have become much stronger.
When he saw Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao looked at Chu Yi and couldn't help laughing: "My eldest companion has not come to see me for two or three days!"
Chu Yi stepped forward, nodded and said: "I have been busy reorganizing the capital camp these days. Now I have finally finished my work, and now I come to see your majesty."
Zhu Houzhao smiled and gestured for Chu Yi to take a seat and said, "It's a great companion for hard work!"
At this time, Zhu Houzhao was talking to Chu Yi while taking out some memorials and said: "My dear friend, you might as well take a look at these memorials!"
Chu Yi raised his eyebrows. Although he didn't read it, he could guess that these memorials should be related to him. If not, Zhu Houzhao would definitely not show them to him.
A young eunuch presented several memorials to Chu Yi. Chu Yi read through them and suddenly understood that someone in the court was involved in his story of raising pay for the soldiers in the capital.
Chu Yi didn't find it strange at all that there were people participating. It would be strange if no one participated.
He dismissed so many soldiers, and promised in front of so many soldiers in the army to double the pay for each soldier. The army was a mixed place, so it was normal for the news to spread.
Perhaps all the civil and military officials knew about it by now, but now there are only so many memorials that have participated in his performance, which is already quite difficult.
Even Zhang Mao and Zhu Fu were worried that once the rates were increased, the national treasury would be ruined in the future, let alone others.
[What, there is another update, please give me a monthly ticket, please]
