Chapter 72 Conscription
When Dorgon entered the imperial city, Zhu Cixuan was not idle either.
Although Zhu Ciyang had already issued an imperial edict when he entered Nanjing City and would not hold some ministers accountable, how could he not hold some of the people who made mistakes and Zhu Yousong's best friends not to pursue them?
During this period, after careful investigation, more than 30 people were on this blacklist.
They are either harming the people or Zhu Yousong's best friend.
Although Zhu Cilang has already taken it to Nanjing, these people still talk nonsense.
Zhu Yousong has ascended the throne. No matter how orthodox Zhu Cilang is, he cannot drive Zhu Yousong down. There must be someone who comes first and then arrives.
Zhu Cilang was too lazy to talk nonsense to them about their fallacies and directly ordered the Imperial Guard to arrest people.
There is a reason why these people say this.
They believed that when Emperor Yingzong of Ming was captured in Tumu Fort, Emperor Yingzong's younger brother inherited the throne. After Emperor Yingzong of Ming came back, he could only become the Supreme Emperor.
They thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was similar to Emperor Yingzong of Ming, but unfortunately, Zhu Cixuan did not give them a chance to defend themselves and all put them in prison.
At this time, the court was not rich. You people have lived in Jiangnan for generations, and their families are all local aristocratic families. Who will they do if they don’t attack you?
After some tricks, we found nearly 7 million taels of silver and more than 100,000 gold in the homes of these people, which was quite good.
After hearing this number, Zhu Cilang was also a little moved.
These people are just middle-class officials, not the highest-ranking ones, but their families have so much money. It seems that the bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty were rich, so this is definitely not a joke.
Now in the Ming Dynasty, the court had no money and the people had no money. The ones who really had money were the officials among them.
These guys are all fond of their own pockets, greedy for money from the court, and have to search for the people. If this situation is not changed, the court will still be in a difficult position in the future.
But Zhu Cixuan now knows that it is time to stop. He has just arrived in Nanjing and cannot offend people too ruthlessly.
Another thing is to unite all forces that can be united. If you do it too much, when the Qing people go south, there may be problems within.
Keep this matter for them first and then settle it slowly.
When watching TV series in the 21st century, Zhu Cilang also knew what it means to pay food together by officials and gentry, and what it means to spread the stakes into the acres...
But now the time for implementation is not enough, so I can only endure them for two years.
After reading these things, the next memorial was about Ma Shiying's army.
Ma Shishiying returned to Fengyang to guard the spirits, and all of these troops were accumulated in Nanjing.
Zhu Cixuan was not interested in these troops, so the people below could adapt the adaptation, and could not change the payment of travel expenses to let them go home.
After receiving the imperial edict from His Royal Highness, Hu Qiang and others began to choose among these people.
There were a total of tens of thousands of troops, but less than half of them were selected to pass the qualifications. The remaining people were not qualified and they did not know how they were managed. There was only one number.
Originally, Hu Qiang and others thought they had made money and could find a lot of troops, but after choosing for a while, these people were convinced.
Ma Shiying only asked for the number of troops at the beginning, but never asked for the quality of the troops.
If we were to say that the quality was the best, it was probably those under Ma Kun. Unfortunately, all the harvests in Chuzhou City have been completed.
The gap between the army in Nanjing and those at that time was too big.
So after these three brothers were adapted, they went out of the city to recruit soldiers.
It is probably useless to count on these old troops from the previous dynasty.
Even if they have developed all of them, just because they have developed these bad habits in the army, I don’t know how long it will take for them to change. It’s better to recruit them from the common people.
Fortunately, the court has a relatively generous treatment. As long as they can pass the new recruits' assessment, each person can receive 30 kilograms of white flour every month.
After the training of the recruits is completed, the number will become fifty kilograms of white noodles, which is enough for the whole family to eat and drink.
Of course, there is also a salary in addition to this, but just these fifty kilograms of white flour, many people are flocking to it.
Many generals of the Ministry of War expressed opposition to the treatment proposed by Zhu Cixuan.
If soldiers were recruited according to this treatment, the court would spend too much money in the future.
But Zhu Ciyang did not listen to them, and the imperial army would be greatly reduced in the future, so giving more salary is also to ensure their combat effectiveness.
Besides, Zhu Cixuan's hands are weak now, so the number of troops must be increased rapidly. Only when the number of troops increases can we gain greater power and make the transformation of the empire faster.
With a large framework, it is easier for the people below to do things, and more than a dozen training camps were built around Nanjing City.
All the recruits and veterans were mixed up in order to make rapid progress. Without three months of recruit training, no one was allowed to step out of the camp.
Including those soldiers brought from the north, they must also undergo three months of systematic training, which is also to strengthen their combat skills in the hope of better development on the battlefield.
Nanjing City is developing rapidly, and Ma Shiying in Fengyang also heard the news. This guy felt a little uncomfortable inside.
I am also calling the wind and rain in Nanjing City. Who knows that I suddenly came here again to guard the imperial tomb? Who is the fuck willing to guard the imperial tomb?
According to his original idea, he handed over 500,000 taels of silver. His Royal Highness gave him his life and would definitely adapt his army.
His troops are somewhat emotional. After they have all been replaced with new weapons, someone will definitely stand up and speak for him, and they will be able to come out again.
Now it's better. Mandao and Mandao have picked out tens of thousands of soldiers and have been scattered into so many armies, which is simply inconsistent with each other.
Moreover, the original subordinates were basically dismissed by the secret. I thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not very old and should not be very good at political struggles, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very skilled.
"Uncle II, you said something, what should we do now? Do we really have to stay here for the rest of our lives?"
Ma Kun is almost crazy. How does Fengyang compare with Nanjing?
"What do you want me to say? We have lost, and we have lost quite thoroughly..."
Ma Shiying said helplessly.
Chapter completed!
