Ming Dynasty entry: I am Chongzhen, the greatest emperor of all time!

Chapter 8: Extract new entry [Emperor's Personal Army]

The night watch drum sounded at 3 p.m.

Zhu Youjian felt a little excited when he saw the mountains of silver ingots in the inner transport warehouse.

The Spanish eagle dollars shone with a faint blue luster under the candlelight, boxes of fifty taels of official silver were stacked higher than a person, and Zhou Kui's private collection of silver winter melons was piled up into a small mountain in the corner.

"Five hundred and thirty-seven thousand six hundred taels"

He had never seen so much cash piled up in his life.

The silver winter melons dug out from the Jiading Earl's Mansion were still covered in mud.

Zhu Youjian did not delay and put his hand on the silver.

I silently chose to recharge.

In just a moment, the silver that had just piled up like a mountain disappeared, leaving only a small amount for Zhu Youjian to use daily.

The system prompt sounded in my ears:

【Has recharged 500,000 taels of silver】

[Number of redeemable draws: 5]

[Number of redeemable upgrades: 0]

Zhu Youjian exchanged all his silver for the number of draws.

Then I opened the turntable and saw that the white area still occupied most of the space, and the red area was only the size of a needle tip.

Zhu Youjian used all five drawing opportunities in one go.

When the pointer began to rotate, Zhu Youjian's heart also began to rise.

He doesn't ask for any red entries.

I just hope there is a blue entry that Jinyiwei can use.

Li Zicheng extorted more than 70 million taels of military pay.

Among them are not only corrupt officials, nobles and wealthy businessmen, but also many poor people.

He could have exacted pay as brutally as Li Zicheng, but then he wouldn't have to be the emperor.

Even when facing the noble ministers in the court, he did not have much military power. If he pushed this group of people into a corner, the noble ministers would dare to hang him on Coal Hill without waiting for Li Zicheng to arrive.

The fighting power of the Donglin Party cannot be underestimated. There is nothing this group of upright people cannot do.

However, the noble ministers are not a monolithic group.

Based on the knowledge accumulated in the previous life and Chongzhen's experience as emperor for more than ten years.

Zhu Youjian already had a rough plan in mind.

Just control the leader among them first, and then take action at the same time, leaving them no chance to communicate privately.

Once all the silver is converted into military power, will there still be any need to be afraid of these corrupt scholars?
That's why he hoped so much that there would be an entry that the Jinyiwei could use.

The pointer of the first circle slowly stops in the white area.

Zhu Youjian's heart sank.

[Draw the white entry "Yan Jun": Army soldiers' violation rate -5%]

The pointer stopped at the second circle.

[Draw the white entry "Civilian Laborer": Thousand-man unit logistics efficiency +10%]

The third lap.

[Draw the white entry "Real Merit": The army will no longer falsely report military achievements.]

Zhu Youjian was greatly disappointed after drawing white three times in a row.

The effect of the white attribute is extremely low, and there are no additional troops.

It’s really a huge loss!
When the pointer of the fourth circle slowly slowed down and was about to stop in the red area, Zhu Youjian's heart almost jumped out of his throat.

However, the red area was still too small, and at the last second, the pointer stopped steadily in the green area.

[Draw the green entry "Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy": Single unit reconnaissance efficiency +30%]

[Successfully extracted a green entry, reward: Night No Collecting Hundred Households x2.]

[Rewards have been distributed outside the Meridian Gate.]

Although I didn’t draw the red entry, at least it’s not white anymore.

Two night patrols were also given as a gift, so it wasn't a big loss.

Yebushou was the name of the scouts in the Ming Dynasty. They were mainly light-riding and simply-dressed, and were known for their ability to conduct hidden reconnaissance.

Zhu Youjian also knew about it.

Now there is only one last chance. Watching the pointer spinning rapidly, Zhu Youjian's nails dug into his palms.

If there is no available entry this time, he will have to consider violent plunder and then give the capital to Li Zicheng.

When the pointer stopped and Zhu Youjian looked at the extracted entry, he almost cried out.

[Draw the purple entry "Emperor's Personal Army": Designate any unit as a direct subordinate of the royal family, lock loyalty at 80%, and reduce corruption by 55%]

[Successfully extracted a purple entry, reward: Northern Pacification Division Thousand Households Office x1]

[Rewards have been distributed to the Imperial Guards' training ground.]

Finally got the purple entry, and it was the Jinyiwei exclusive entry that Zhu Youjian had been longing for!

And a thousand Jinyiwei were also given as a gift!

Now the plan can be executed.

Looking at the sun setting outside.

Zhu Youjian hurriedly left the inner transport warehouse and came to the Qianqing Palace, where he asked Wang Chengen to tell Li Ruolian to notify all the Jinyiwei in Beijing to gather at the inner training ground of the imperial army.

Anyone who fails to arrive within one hour will be removed from the Jinyiwei military!
After Wang Chengen left, Zhu Youjian did not stop and went straight to the training ground of the imperial guards.

The inner training ground is not a bit smaller than the Beijing camp’s base.

The thousand soldiers of the Yongwei Camp alone occupied one-third of the area.

The thousand Jinyiwei rewarded by the system also account for one third.

Zhu Youjian was also worried that the sudden appearance of the Jinyiwei Qianhu Division would scare the Yongwei Camp.

Who knew that he only found out after he asked Wang Erhu.

In the eyes of the Yongwei Camp, the Jinyiwei came from the imperial city.

Zhu Youjian couldn't help but sigh that the system was really thoughtful.

Turn your attention to the thousand Jinyiwei in front of you.

The gold thread on the flying fish suit sparkled in the sunlight.

Different from the Jinyiwei in Zhu Youjian's memory.

The Jinyiwei Qianhu rewarded by the system is actually a mixed organization of multiple military branches.

Three hundred Ti cavalrymen riding tall horses stood at the outermost edge.

Two hundred Jinyiwei armed with muskets stood at the front.

The rest also include shield soldiers, crossbow soldiers and other types of soldiers.

However, they were not wearing armor. They all wore bright yellow flying fish uniforms and held embroidered spring swords.

The entire formation has a restrained aura, and although it stands there, it is not conspicuous at all.

What surprised Zhu Youjian even more was that this thousand-household unit actually had a thousand households.

You should know that the first rewarded troop, the Three Thousand Battalion Iron Cavalry, was also organized into a thousand households, but the highest level was only a hundred households.

Zhu Youjian also had to worry about who would lead this elite cavalry.

Are the purple entries divided into upper and lower categories?

I'll have to ask the system when I get back.

Seeing Zhu Youjian coming, the captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard slowly raised his head, and his pale and beardless face was covered with centipede-shaped scars.

Kneeling on the ground, "Captain Xu Feng of the Jinyiwei Thousand Households Division of the Northern Pacification Division pays homage to His Majesty."

Then, thousands of Jinyiwei knelt down and bowed their heads at the same time.

"Kuaisai, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youjian was very satisfied and said he would stand up.

When Li Ruolian and Wang Chengen arrived.

The two were extremely terrified.

Wang Chengen came to Zhu Youjian trembling.

"This...this is..."

"Jinyiwei." Zhu Youjian said casually.

"I know this is the Jinyiwei, but..." Wang Chengen suddenly stopped talking halfway.

As the emperor's personal eunuch, he could not interfere in the emperor's affairs.

Can't even ask.

This is Wang Chengen’s bottom line.

The reason he spoke was because he was shocked.

He once served as the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot and knew the Embroidered Uniform Guard like the back of his hand.

At least in the capital, there are definitely no such elite Jinyiwei!

"Your Majesty! This. This is..." Li Ruolian's reaction was exactly the same as Wang Chengen's.

As a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he knows the Embroidered Uniform Guard better than anyone else.

These 1,000 elite soldiers are definitely not from the capital.

It is very likely that the emperor transferred him from the Southern Pacification Office.

I didn't expect that the Zhenfu Division in the south, which was just a decoration, actually had such an elite Qianhu Division.

"Your soldiers."

Zhu Youjian did not explain and threw the golden seal of the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard over from his arms.

"From today on, Li Ruolian will be the commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and in charge of the Northern Pacification Division."

Li Ruolian's hand that took the seal suddenly sank, and the four bloody words "As if I were present in person" on the bottom of the golden seal made him tremble with fear.

The dream position was obtained just like that.

He almost wondered if he was dreaming.

While Li Ruolian was stunned, Zhu Youjian spoke again.

"Wang Chengen, take a few eunuchs and tell the ministers of the cabinet and the six ministries a message."

"Tonight at midnight, I will hold a banquet in the Qianqing Palace to discuss the affairs of the Zhou State Father-in-law."

"Tell them that if they don't want to come, they don't have to come anymore."
