There have been many talents who have immigrated from the West in recent years, and only a part of the chemical institutions of the Academy of Sciences. In addition to talents in chemistry, physics, and mathematics, there are also many craftsmen. These people are placed separately according to their different studies and have made a lot of contributions to the development of the Ming Dynasty.

The renewal of new equipment will take about two years, which is based on the current development of military industry in the Ming Dynasty. As for the eliminated equipment, it is also useful. Most of it is left to local public security. Zhu Yicheng has begun to improve the local police system to completely replace the previous three-squad yamen runner system, further weaken the rights of local administrative officials, and thus separate the administration and judicial institutions, including violent institutions.

This common system in later generations is still a new thing in this era, but being able to effectively concentrate the power in the central government is a good thing for the future of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, the reserve system was initially established after Zhu Yicheng's restoration and has been gradually improved over the years. The equipment eliminated by the military can also be used as reserve equipment. In this way, if there is a war, the Ming Dynasty can gather large troops in a short time and bring them to the battlefield.

After staying at the shooting range for a whole day, Zhu Yicheng not only listened to Huang Luzhuang's report, but also explained some things to him. He did not leave until the afternoon to return to the capital.

When he returned to the palace, it was already dark, so Zhu Yicheng went to the side palace to eat dinner and continued to work.

Now, there is not much time left before the Ming Dynasty sent troops to the northwest. What Zhu Yicheng is most concerned about these days is the preparations for the northwest.

As early as a few months ago, the military began to prepare for this matter and mobilized troops to increase troops to the northwest. At the same time, various units were also busy for the battle in the northwest.

Under the candlelight, Zhu Yicheng looked at the memorial, and occasionally raised the red pen approval content, and then put the completed memorial aside.

After watching for a long time, Zhu Yicheng felt a little tired. He rubbed his eyes and made people light up the candlelight. At the same time, he moved his lower body to make his muscles and bones feel more comfortable.

"Xiao Jiangzi!"

"I am here." Xiao Jiangzi quickly responded not far away, and walked forward quickly.

"Go! Get me a bowl of ginseng soup." Zhu Yicheng said a little tired.

Xiao Jiangzi hesitated and did not leave immediately. Zhu Yicheng immediately glared at him unhappily.

"Emperor, the Empress has told me..." Xiao Jiangzi replied quietly uneasy.

Zhu Yicheng then remembered that Li Juaner had indeed said that although ginseng soup was good, it could not be drunk often. Using too much of this supplement was not good for the body. So Li Juaner not only asked Zhu Yicheng not to drink these things, but also specifically explained that Xiao Jiangzi had to get her consent if Zhu Yicheng wanted to use ginseng soup.

Zhu Yicheng touched his forehead and felt helpless. He agreed to Li Juan'er in front of Xiao Jiangzi. Although he complained that Xiao Jiangzi was troublesome, Zhu Yicheng also knew that if he insisted on it, although Xiao Jiangzi would do it according to his wishes, Li Juan'er learned that she would definitely blame herself for not caring about her body.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yicheng waved helplessly, asked Xiaojiang to retreat, picked up the tea next to him and took a sip of it, and used the tea to drive away some of his fatigue.

It’s okay to not accept old age. Zhu Yicheng was still a teenager back then, but in a blink of an eye, he had been in eternal life for fourteen years. He also went from being a teenager to being in his thirties, and he was about to enter middle age in a few years.

Indeed, even his beloved daughter has already been married. If Zhu Qingyan had not been to the military internship now, Zhu Yicheng might have been going to be his grandfather in a few months.

Zhu Yicheng had already arranged the prince and the second prince. When the internship ended, the prince would get married first, and the second prince followed the prince. Next, the other princes and princesses would get married or get married one after another. Thinking of this, Zhu Yicheng couldn't help but sigh that time passed so quickly.

After a few mouthfuls of tea, Zhu Yicheng felt a little better. He continued to look at the memorial. After reading it, he frowned slightly and his expression became a little solemn.

"Xiao Jiangzi!"

"I'm here!"

"Go to the Military Affairs Office to see who is on duty tonight, and let someone come here!"

"I obey the order." Xiao Jiangzi responded and turned around and went out. After Xiao Jiangzi left, Zhu Yicheng couldn't sit still and went straight to another place in the side hall where some official files that Zhu Yicheng had handled were stored. Zhu Yicheng searched and took a few copies of the information and started to look carefully.

Half an hour later, Zeng Yishu led him to the side hall, and as soon as he entered the side hall, he saw Zhu Yicheng sitting in front of the table under the candlelight, with an extremely ugly face.

Zeng Yishu's heart was suddenly in a panic. It was probably not a common thing for the emperor to summon the Minister of Military Affairs in the middle of the night. Moreover, this was the first time Zeng Yishu saw Zhu Yicheng like this. It seemed that this was not a good thing.

"I have met the emperor..."

"You are the only one on duty in the Military Operations Department tonight?"

"Return to the Emperor, the Military Affairs Office was originally on duty, but the war in the northwest is imminent. Lord Zhuang went to the General Staff before he came back. I have asked someone to inform him. I guess he will arrive after the meeting."

"Oh, then wait until he comes." Zhu Yicheng said lightly, then ignored Zeng Yishu, and did not give him a seat. He picked up the memorial that was placed aside and continued to read.

Zeng Yishu stood there without saying a word, but his heart was like a turbulent wave. He now concluded that there must be something big, and it could never be a small matter, otherwise Zhu Yicheng would not be so rude.

Although Zhu Yicheng did not ask questions, nor did he look angry, Zeng Yishu, who was familiar with Zhu Yicheng's temper, knew that something big happened and it would definitely not be a trivial matter.

The side palace was quiet, and Zeng Yishu quickly wondered what happened to Zhu Yicheng so angered, and was so rude to him, the military minister. But after thinking for a long time, Zeng Yishu didn't understand it, and he didn't dare to ask, so he could only continue to stand like this.

After about a moment, with a burst of rapid footsteps, Zhuang Yan rushed from the General Staff.

When he arrived at the side hall, when Zhu Yicheng saw Zeng Yishu standing like this, Zhuang Yan's heart sank. Compared to Zeng Yishu, Zhuang Yan's qualifications in the court were much older than him. He knew more about Zhu Yicheng's temper and personality. He suddenly felt that something big was about to happen. The quiet side hall seemed to be calm on the eve of a storm, and there would be thunderstorm anytime and anywhere.

"Men Zhuangyan has met the emperor..."

"Come?" Zhu Yicheng raised his eyes and asked faintly.

Zhuang Yan didn't know how to answer, so hesitated and said: "I have just conducted pre-war deductions with the General Staff and the staff. I don't know that the emperor was summoned late. Please forgive me."

"How are you prepared to send troops to the northwest?" Zhu Yicheng asked directly.

"When I return to the emperor, all the troops in the army have basically been in place, and material supplies are also in progress. According to the deduction of the General Staff, there will be no problem in sending troops in mid-April."

"Oh, there will be no problem with sending troops in April?" Zhu Yicheng asked.

Zhuang Yan was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully and said, "Go back to the emperor, there will be no problem..."
