After hearing Zhu Cixiang's words, Shen Tingyang sighed slightly, nodded, and said nothing more.
Zhu Cihong told Shen Tingyang some things about the Navy.
Seeing Zhu Cixiang trusting him so much, Shen Tingyang finally couldn't help it anymore. He hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him and asked, "Your Highness, why do you trust me so much?"
"Because I think you are trustworthy!"
Zhu Cixiang looked at Shen Tingyang in front of him with a smile on his face and said.
He can't say that he trusted you because he saw in later generations that you would rather be buried alive by the Qing army than surrender!
After bowing to Zhu Cihong in front of him, he said nothing more.
After Zhu Cihong gave some instructions to Shen Tingyang in front of him, he let him leave.
Looking at Shen Tingyang's back.
Zhu Cixiang showed a look of exhaustion on his face.
In fact, it is not mature to collect customs duties now. After all, there are internal and external troubles.
When he said this, he actually wanted to convey an idea to Shen Tingyang first. Even if this incident spread, it would not have much impact on Zhu Cixiang.
Such a big thing requires everyone to adapt to it no matter what. It is basically impossible to accomplish it overnight.
He could only take things slowly and let Shen Tingyang become the naval admiral. Zhu Cixiang mainly valued the Shen family's maritime business system, which could be of great help to him.
Then there is Shen Tingyang, who is very loyal to the court and can be trusted.
In this troubled world, what is most important?
Loyalty is the most important, and money is the most important.
With these thoughts, Zhu Cixiang frowned. In the next few days, he would have many things to worry about, such as the appointment of Shandong officials.
This power has been completely given to him by his cheap father Chongzhen.
But... Zhu Cixi doesn't have any suitable candidates!
Thinking of this, Zhu Cixiang sighed slightly.
If only I could time travel a few years earlier, at least some of the famous generals and civil servants in history would not have to die.
I would not have fallen into a situation where no one can help me until now.
Shaking his head, Zhu Cixiang came to the study room, where there were a lot of information about officials that Chongzhen had asked to bring over, allowing Zhu Cixiang to choose the person himself.
at the same time.
Liaodong, Shengjing.
"Li Zicheng actually didn't capture Beijing???"
Dorgon looked at the courtier in front of him with somewhat surprised eyes and asked curiously.
You know, judging from previous intelligence, the capital of the Ming Dynasty has almost no defensive capabilities, and many of its troops have been exhausted.
There are almost no defensive troops around Beijing, and there are even no troops in the city of Beijing!
In this case, although Beijing is a majestic city, how could it possibly be able to defend Li Zicheng's attack when people's hearts are scattered!
Therefore, this made Dorgon, who had some expectations, look confused on his face.
"Reporting to the Regent, based on our intelligence, it is said that the Crown Prince of Beijing suddenly seemed to be a different person, and then in the face of adversity, he organized the city defense in one day and withstood Li Zicheng. The army attacked the city several times.
The scale and intensity were extremely high. With the help of kerosene, gunpowder and the artillery on the city wall, the crown prince even visited the battlefield in person and actually withstood Li Zicheng's attack!
Hundreds of thousands of troops attacked the city for three days, but made no progress at all. Then maybe they heard that King Qin's army was coming, so the bandit army withdrew."
I heard what my intelligence officers said.
Dorgon nodded.
"Explore again! If you have any information about Mingting, please inform me immediately!"
Huang Taiji said to the intelligence officer on the side.
"yes!"
Soon the intelligence officers left.
At this time, Dorgon was sitting in his seat, holding the dragon chair with his hands, and his eyes were shining with light.
He is a very smart man.
What he originally thought was that after Li Zicheng captured Beijing, he would take the opportunity to find Wu Sangui and ask him to open the gate inside the pass. As an excuse to suppress the bandits, he might be able to recruit Wu Sangui and use it to enter the pass!
Pity!
A trace of sigh flashed across Dorgon's eyes. If the city of Beijing had not fallen, then the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not a fool either. He would definitely not be allowed to enter the border!
I can only take a look!
Don't worry! Qing Dynasty has been waiting for so long, it's not too late!
Dorgon held on to the armrest tightly.
"Cough cough cough!"
Dorgon coughed many times, and several maids on the side quickly came over and brought Dorgon a spittoon.
"Pooh."
A mouthful of bloody phlegm was spit into the spittoon.
Seeing the phlegm in front of her, the maid next to her was a little frightened, but there was a trace of emotion on Dorgon's face.
His illness is getting worse...

"You must remember! What is the most important thing in being a soldier? The most important thing in being a soldier is discipline! Iron-like discipline! Only troops with the best discipline can be invincible and invincible on the battlefield!"
Zhu Cixiang stood on the commander's platform and shouted loudly to the many soldiers in front of him with a serious face.
There was solemnity in the audience.
"Discipline must be like steel! There can be no slight deviation! Everyone stands for an hour! There cannot be any movement!"
Zhu Cixiang looked at the people under the ring.
"I'll accompany you!"
At this time, Zhu Cixiang was also wearing armor and standing on the general stage.
Several eunuchs on the side looked at Zhu Cihong in front of them anxiously.
"Your Highness, Your Highness..."
Several eunuchs shouted to Zhu Cihong in low voices, but Zhu Cihong ignored them.
It actually made these eunuchs anxious to death.
The sun in March is not very bright, and even today's Beijing is still a bit chilly. However, the sun is very strong, and it shines on everyone's armor. After being exposed to the sun for a long time, it is still a little hot.
The most important thing is the weight of the armor itself, which makes everyone breathless.
Especially if you stand for a long time, it not only tests your discipline, but also tests your physical strength.
After standing for an hour.
"Okay! Take a ten-minute break!"
Following Zhu Cixiang's words, all the soldiers around him relaxed instantly. Except for a few people, the others were basically exhausted to death.
But no one complained, because His Highness the Prince stood with them!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not complain about suffering and tiredness, so why should they complain about suffering and tiredness?
Zhu Cixiang looked at the soldiers in front of him.
There was a slight pause in his eyes.
Although he had no experience in training soldiers, he came from a later generation and had seen many examples of modern soldier training.
"You are responsible for watching these soldiers and let them do some traditional drills later."
