Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

Da Yuer?

Hearing this name, everyone is naturally familiar with it.

But... why should this be given to Mao Wenlong?

Is General Mao okay with this?

Didn't see it!

"Yes, I will definitely work hard."

"Promise not to keep General Mao waiting any longer!"

"I will definitely help him get Dayu'er back."

Qifeng below immediately echoed with a smile.

After saying this, he saw his old brother giving him a helpless look.

You are such a talent...

Do you really think Mao Wenlong likes the Tatar woman?

"Hey, okay."

"Then I will first thank you on behalf of General Mao."

"Let's do this for today. Tomorrow I will ask the Ministry of War to draft the document."

"It's up to you later."

Zhu Youjian smiled and nodded and planned to talk about this first.

He still has a lot of things to deal with, so we can talk slowly later when we are free.

Training also takes time.

Wait until the five people left with gleaming eyes.

Zhu Youjian let out a breath and started counting with his fingers.

"Taizu, count the troops sent out here."

"The current total quota of the Four Elephants Legion is 13."

"Add to this the [-] soldiers from the Beijing camp, [-] from the Qi family army, and [-] from the Zhu family army."

"27..."

"The annual expense is not small at all."

Overhead?

Li Chen shrugged, but looked calm.

Only 27.

According to Li Chen's thinking, the country should maintain a minimum of 50 troops.

“It will have to be expanded in the future.”

"If you want to control the world, these people are not enough."

"Take your time, haste leads to waste."

Minimum 50?

Zhu Youjian's mouth twitched slightly and he dared not speak anymore...

After a while, he exhaled and took out a fold from the side.

The whole world is too far away.

Let’s deal with the immediate problem first.

--------------------------

Half a month passed quickly.

In mid-April, the imperial examination officially began.

The bosses of the Four Elephants Legion also returned to their respective garrison places.

Qi Daguang has also received the approval from the Ministry of War and officially received money from the Ministry of Household Affairs to start forming the Qi Family Army.

What Qi Daguang didn't expect was something.

As soon as he started to recruit people, he received the full support of Tang Wang Zhu Yujian.

Not only did he personally donate 20 taels as support, but he also opened the door for him to recruit troops at will on the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

There were all kinds of encouragements in his mouth, asking him to practice harder and practice to death!

With such a positive attitude, those who didn't know better thought that the Qi family army was his private soldier of the Tang Dynasty.

To be honest, Qi Daguang was a little afraid to take the money.

He was afraid of turning around and being sucked into a nasty political whirlpool.

After much deliberation, I finally had no choice but to go to the palace and report this in advance.

As a result, not only was Zhu Youjian not angry, but he just let him hold it.

And also let him have more contact with Zhu Yujian...

Although he didn't understand what Zhu Youjian meant, since His Majesty didn't mind, he was naturally relieved.

Don’t be a fool to get free money!

A few more days passed.

Just when the imperial examination was advancing normally.

A group of new people were welcomed at the major gates of the capital.

There is something special about these people, almost everyone carries a family tree.

After entering the capital, they all gathered towards the huge open space in front of the palace.

This has been going on for several days.

There are rumors in the capital that these people are the bloodline of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang scattered in various places.

They brought their genealogy to Beijing this time in response to the imperial list that His Majesty had previously spread throughout the world!

"I! Chongzhen Zhu Youjian!"

"The current national situation is difficult, and the Tatars have been holding back customs every year, making the people's lives miserable!"

"I intend to gather all the clan members from all over the world and create a Zhu family army composed only of Zhu family's children!"

"All Zhu family members can come with tokens and genealogy."

"I have prepared fame for you! Titles! And everything you want!"

"Want it?"

"If you want it, come to the capital and find me!"

"Everything is here!"

This imperial list was divided into countless copies and posted all over the Ming Dynasty.

Regardless of whether it was the royal palace or the already declining Xiaozong, countless Zhu family disciples all felt like a fire was burning after seeing this imperial list!

Make great contributions and rebuild the glory of your ancestors...

This is something that many people only dream about!

So...

It can be said that the Zhu family’s disciples all over the world were moved upon hearing the news!

Some royal palaces even mobilized hundreds of people to Beijing in one go!

"Grandpa, we're here!"

"This is the capital..."

"so big!"

Today, the grandfather and grandson walked in through the city gate again.

Looking at the huge city gate in front of him, the young man looked a little excited.

This is the capital!

The capital of Ming Dynasty!

"Stop looking and go to town."

"Hey... I don't know if it's right or wrong to come back this time."

"After all, our ancestors..."

The old man looked around with a complicated expression.

I don't feel any better at all.

Seeing my old man so worried.

The young man chuckled and patted his chest.

"Don't worry, grandpa, your majesty is a real dragon now."

"I will definitely not care about the cause and effect of my predecessors."

"Besides, although our lineage has been ordered by Master Xuanzong never to enter the capital."

"But His Majesty's imperial list has said that all disciples of the Zhu family can enter the capital and join the army!"

"No matter what, I have to give it a try, otherwise our lineage may never see the light of day!"

The young man said this very seriously.

The old man just shook his head after hearing this and said nothing more in the end.

Of course he also hopes to bring his family line back to life...

but...

Hey, that's all.

I can only hope that His Majesty can put aside his past grudges.

Not long after, in front of the palace.

At this time, the square had already been under martial law.

Hundreds of people dressed in different styles were queuing up for inspection.

"The 15th son of Taizu, the direct descendant of the fourth son of King Zhu Zhi of Liao... passed!"

"The sixth son of Renzong and the direct descendant of the seventh son of King Jingxian Zhu Zhankui... pass!"

"The twelfth son of Xianzong, the third son of King Zhu Youli of Jingjian... he was born as a concubine... and passed away!"

In front, a huge wooden table.

A dozen huge books were neatly stacked together.

That is the large genealogy preserved by the Ming Dynasty royal family!

The branches scattered in various places have their own small family tree, plus Zhu family tokens that can indicate the royal status.

Although Zhu Jiate can give birth to a child, as long as he can produce these two things, there is basically a foundation to follow.

Moreover, although many of them are in poor family circumstances, it does not mean that they cannot be included in the big family tree.

Whenever a new offspring is born, it will be reported to the Xiaozong as soon as possible, and then the Xiaozong will report it to the royal family.

At this time, the young man and the old man were at the back of the queue, and his expression became more and more nervous as he listened to the names in front of him.

They are a little different from the people in front of me...

They no longer have a small clan and no genealogy to check...

The only thing that can prove their identity is the gift in their arms.

finally...

After the person in front also successfully inspected, the young man straightened his clothes, gritted his teeth and took two steps forward.

"Which one is it from?"

"Is there any genealogy token?"

The person responsible for the inspection was an old eunuch in the palace who had been responsible for repairing the royal family tree for many years.

He glanced at the young man and asked simply.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said these words, the young man knelt down directly!

This frightened the eunuch quite a lot.

Although many of these Zhu family children are already in decline.

But as long as their names can be found in the family tree, they are royal family members!

He, a eunuch, would not dare to accept this gift!

Suddenly, the eunuch jumped up and spoke with a sharp tone.

"Master, what do you mean?"

However, the young man ignored him at all.

Instead, he kowtowed three times in the direction of the palace gate.

Then he took out a jade pendant from his pocket and held it up high.

"Queen of Sinners, Zhu Youlong!"

"Today, I answer your Majesty's request and come to join the army!"

Ok?

This movement immediately attracted the attention of countless pairs of eyes around him.

Even the old eunuch's face was slightly condensed.

After sinners?

He couldn't help but take the jade pendant and examine it.

The old eunuch could confirm at just the first glance that this jade pendant was indeed a royal item.

And it’s also a very early token!

Then the old eunuch turned the jade pendant over.

moment!

The old eunuch's expression suddenly changed!

I saw the word "Gaoxu" engraved in the middle of the jade pendant!

Not only that, there are two lines of small words engraved on the lower left side of the jade pendant.

"Zhu Di!"

"Xu Miaoyun!"

(Zhu Gaoxu’s illegitimate son is considered fictional, but history also says that Zhu Gaoxu’s lineage left an illegitimate son.)

(Zhu Zhanji did not kill the illegitimate son, so he left a trace of blood for his second uncle.)

(I don’t know if it’s true or not, so I’ll just assume it’s true.)
