After Zhu Youjian finished explaining the military establishment and functions of Beizhili, everyone in the Qianqing Palace was stunned.

Because even they did not expect that Northern Zhili would be defended by so many soldiers and horses.

Suddenly, they felt that they were very safe, and when they looked at Zhu Youjian, they slowly began to admire him.

It's just that they don't know that Zhu Youjian figured out so many military and horse functions during the month he traveled through time.

Three hundred and twenty-four thousand six hundred people, this is the number of security and military personnel in Beizhili.

Although among the more than 300,000 people, there are not even 30,000 people who can fight, it does not mean that the number is very bluffing.

Logically speaking, even if there are only one-tenth of the 300,000-strong army that can fight, plus the soldiers and horses of Ji Liao and Xuanfu, Huang Taiji will be killed even if he rushes into the Great Wall. .

But the result is that among the more than 300,000 people, there really are not even 30,000 troops capable of fighting.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but feel speechless.

Although these more than 300,000 people cannot fight, it does not prevent them from receiving military pay.

The officers and soldiers in Beijing were given five taels of silver per year, which worked out to an annual expenditure of 1,817,760 taels.

With so much money, you can only fight defensively, and you can't even defend well. It's really...

Zhu Youjian didn't know what to scold for a while, so he could only look at Zhu Youxiao, who was stunned.

Not only the many eunuchs, but even he, the new emperor, did not expect that Beizhili, where he lived, would be guarded by so many soldiers and horses.

For a moment, he couldn't help but feel that Nurhachi in Liaodong was just suffering from skin rash, and as long as the Ming Dynasty was serious, he could be put down quickly.

The sixteen-year-old boy has such a simple idea, but he doesn't know if he can still be so happy if he sees the more than 300,000 soldiers and horses under his command in Beijing...

"Okay!" Zhu Youxiao came to his senses and cheered for Zhu Youjian:

"My brother is indeed as Jinzhong said, he is very knowledgeable about military affairs."

"In this case, as for the three guards of Yulin, after the national mourning, I will ask the Ministry of War to transfer to Changping to help my younger brother study and build the imperial mausoleum for the emperor."

"Thank you, brother!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Youjian's face immediately filled with a smile.

When Zhu Youxiao saw it, he also smiled and patted his hand. Then he realized that it was getting late, so he asked:

"Have you had your meal?"

"My brother has eaten before he came here. If he is hungry, he can eat first. It is getting late, so my brother will go back to Xu Qin Palace first." Zhu Youjian quickly stood up from the chair.

When Zhu Youxiao saw this, he didn't leave him alone. Instead, he stood up with a smile and comforted him:

"Tomorrow is the beginning of the imperial examination and the national mourning. It's 6:00 p.m., so remember not to be late."

"My brother, I know. The elder brother is busy first, and the younger brother has to retreat first..." Zhu Youjian bowed and compiled, and then slowly exited the palace.

"Jinzhong, please see the emperor's fifth brother off." Zhu Youxiao greeted Wei Jinzhong, and Wei Jinzhong quickly followed Zhu Youjian and took two eunuchs to see him out of the palace.

Zhu Youxiao watched the few people leave like this, and the friendly smile towards his younger brother slowly faded in his eyes. In the end, he looked down at the memorial in his hand, and after thinking about it, he decided to put it aside for now.

He hasn't yet figured out how much money is left in the inner shipping warehouse. Whether to distribute it or not will require an inventory from the inner shipping warehouse to be sent to him before he can make a decision.

While he was thinking about how to deal with side affairs, Zhu Youjian had already walked out of Qianqing Palace accompanied by Wei Jinzhong.

When Lu Wenzhao saw Zhu Youjian coming out, he immediately greeted him, while Zhu Youjian smiled and said:

"Lu Wenzhao, this is Wei Jinzhong. You can get closer to each other in the future. After all, you are in Jinyiwei. There is no way that Wei Jinzhong will also control the East Factory in the future. Your colleagues will have less trouble then."

When Zhu Youjian said this, Lu Wenzhao quickly edited Wei Jinzhong, and Wei Jinzhong was even more happy.

At the moment, he is just a eunuch in charge of the Qingshui Yamen's Salary Department. For him, the eunuch of Dongchang can be said to be out of reach.

Zhu Youjian's words showed in disguise that he would support Wei Jinzhong as the eunuch of the East Factory, but the prerequisite was whether he could climb up.

"Thank you for your support, Your Highness, Fifth Highness..." Wei Jinzhong smiled at Zhu Youjian and kept laughing with him.

Zhu Youjian smiled slightly and said, "Although the eunuch of Dongchang is okay, I heard that you haven't read a book after all, so I'm afraid you won't be able to get into the eunuch of the ceremonial department."

"If you have some time, go to the inner study hall to learn Chinese characters in your spare time. I heard that you have a good memory, so it won't be difficult to do it."

"Thank you for the tip, Your Highness, the Fifth Highness. I will go to the inner study hall to study." Wei Jinzhong was so happy that he couldn't help but smile at the big cake painted by Zhu Youjian. Little did he know that even if Zhu Youjian hadn't spoken, he would have become the Master of Ceremonies in the future. The eunuch is the only one who has never read a book.

"Okay, let's go." With that, Zhu Youjian got on the elephant carriage with the help of Lu Wenzhao.

Wei Jinzhong kept laughing all the way until the elephant had walked dozens of steps before he stopped and watched Zhu Youjian and Lu Wenzhao leave.

When Zhu Youjian and Lu Wenzhao left, he also put away his smile, and his whole face became very cold.

A young eunuch at the Qianqing Palace Gate behind him quickly stepped forward and saluted Wei Jinzhong:

"Eunuch, we have found out clearly in the inner court. Right now, Wang An is protecting Concubine Li Kang. Do you think we should..."

The little eunuch suddenly lowered his voice when he said something ambiguous, while Wei Jinzhong said lazily:

"Don't worry, the national mourning hasn't passed yet. If I attack that old guy, I'm afraid it will make Banzai uncomfortable."

"Wait a minute and let the old guy be arrogant for a few more days."

"What about the Royal Horse Prison?" the little eunuch asked humbly: "The Royal Horse Prison was given to Wang Cheng'en in the Palace of the Fifth Highness by Long Live. Without the Royal Horse Prison's four guards and one battalion, our situation is a bit weak."

"Don't even think about it, Royal Horse Eunuch." Wei Jinzhong frowned slightly, then turned and walked towards Qianqing Palace, followed closely by the young eunuch.

After walking a few steps, Wei Jinzhong said: "We can't move the Imperial Horse Guards, but when His Highness the Fifth Prince said just now that he would go to the twenty-sixth Guards, he did give us some ideas."

"The four-guard battalion of the Imperial Horse Guards cannot move, so why can't our family put a nail in the twenty-sixth guard of Shangzhi?"

"My father-in-law is brilliant!" The little eunuch flattered him quickly, but then hesitantly said:

"But the twenty-six guards are all members of nobles and civil servants. We're afraid we won't be able to get involved..."

"What can't be inserted?" Wei Jinzhong sneered:

"We can't intervene in Jinwu's fourth guard, Yulin's third guard, and Fujun's fifth guard. The Yanshan three guards and other guards are outside the capital, so our family can only intervene in Banner Guard and Huben's left guard."

Hearing this, the young eunuch quickly described the situation and said: "The commander of the remaining Huben left guard is a member of the British Duke Zhang Weixian. Will Zhang Weixian give in?"

"Huh?" Wei Zhongxian drawled a long voice and glanced at the little eunuch:

"It's not up to him to give in to this thing. As long as Long live opens the mouth of Jinkou, we, the tiger and the left guard, will have it at our fingertips."

"But this thing cannot be controlled by us eunuchs. You can think of a way to search outside the palace to see if there is anyone who wants to find a job and has no background."

"Yes..." After hearing Wei Jinzhong's words, the young eunuch nodded quickly, indicating that he knew what to do.
