"I can understand the thoughts of the elders in the family. A few days ago, I was at the forefront of the storm. The censors chased me to impeach me and insisted on driving me away. If you get too close to me, you will definitely implicate the family and be criticized by the civil servants. It is a normal move to not let you come out." Zhu Ruisheng shook his head helplessly and said.

The noble group was suppressed by the civil servant group, and now it has no power and power, and the relationship in the army has gradually disappeared. Under such circumstances, it is the best way to protect yourself.

"I thank the prince not to dislike him, and I am commensurate with us brothers. Since you are now in charge of the Jinyiwei, you can tell us the point where you can use us." Liu Tong said.

"Yes, my brothers were drinking, but the prince once said that if he had the opportunity, he would do his best to build a strong army, restore the lost territory of the dynasty, and reorganize the order of mountains and rivers. The Jinyiwei is an army organization and is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. Will the prince have plans for the future?" Jiang Mingen said.

"We have no hope of inheriting the title. In the future, we will just receive a salary and wait for death. If the prince is willing to accept it, as long as you give your order, you will definitely have nothing to say!" Chen Liangji said.

They also knew that Zhu Ruisheng was a militant, and he was extremely brave and had always dreamed of a strong army. Now that he was in charge of the Jinyiwei, he would definitely show his ambitions!

Zhu Ruisheng's Jinyiwei would definitely not be a simple royal hawk, but a strong army different from other armies. It has proved that he has begun to act since he cut off the heads of eight thousand households and deputy thousand households.

"Great, brothers have such an idea, which is exactly the same as me. If you say ugly things ahead, if you join my army, you must follow my rules, otherwise the military law will be ruthless!"

"I will go to see my father later and ask to select a group of elite officers and soldiers from the Beijing camp, form my Grand Commander Guard, and follow me to Jiangnan. You also know that my relationship with civil servants may be difficult in terms of funding."

"In fact, even if they don't make things difficult for them, the Ministry of Revenue does not have so much money and grain. The military pay in the northern region still has to be released from the inner treasury. Although it is facing autumn harvest, the land tax and commercial tax, coupled with the salt and iron tax, will definitely be delinquent if the year is over."

"I will control the fate of the Jinyiwei, and I will find a way to raise the future military pay. Therefore, I plan to do business with overseas merchants. Only in this way can I get the military expenditure needed for development."

"Using the advantages of Jinyiwei, most of the resources for exporting silk, tea and porcelain in Jiangnan are used to exchange for pricing power, so that you can get a large amount of silver, and you will also build ships to trade directly with foreign countries and earn more money."

"As long as you have money, you can recruit soldiers from all over the country and train new troops. It is also the time when you display your abilities. Follow me and you must make plans to not be able to go home for a long time." Zhu Ruisheng said.

These brothers are his future team in the army. He comes from a general family and is familiar with military tactics and combat. He can temporarily make up for some of his shortcomings. He has no foundation in the military.

"This idea is good. The profits of overseas trade are very high, and it is so fat. If most of the transactions in Jiangnan can be controlled, even a million troops will be easy. The prince's idea is very clear. I guess he has thought of how to operate it for a long time." Liu Tong said with a smile.

"Don't worry, if you become your officer, you will naturally obey your command. The army pays attention to discipline and cannot be favored at all. We are very clear about the pros and cons of it." Chen Liangji said.

Since all the five people agreed, Zhu Ruisheng would not say much. These are brothers who are aware of the truth. As long as there is constant war, they will have no chance of deterioration.

When it comes to choosing soldiers, the five people did not leave, but stayed in the palace and waited for news. According to Zhu Ruisheng's plan, the army of this guard was to be commanded by them.

When they thought of selecting soldiers, training officers, training combat, and applying what they learned to actual combat, they were so excited that they couldn't control themselves. How could they have the intention to go home?

Zhu Ruisheng rushed to the palace in a sedan chair and went to the Ganqing Palace to ask for a meeting with Emperor Shenglong.

Lu Bin, who was on duty, heard the eunuch outside the door, hurried out to salute him, and then went in to report. Seeing that he was in a happy mood, he probably had been appointed to take charge of the Dongji Factory.

"Select a guard from the Beijing camp? That's 5,600 people. If you go to Jiangnan to do business, it seems that you can't use so many guards? Besides, as the prince of the royal family, doing this is too ostentatious and will cause criticism from civil servants." Emperor Sheng Long said with a frown.

"Father, since Emperor Chengzu moved the capital from Jinling here, many generations have not returned to Jiangnan. There is a strong literary style and the most core base of civil servants. The sons recruited a guard to strengthen the royal power."

"If you want to do business, you have to have a source of goods. The weaving bureau in the palace has occupied a lot of resources. I can only rely on manpower to buy everywhere. Without some strength, the local wealthy businessmen and powerful people will not buy it."

"The Jinyiwei now has empty salary and is full of relatives everywhere. My ministers also want to rectify and replace the staff of Thousand Households and Hundred Households in some places." Zhu Ruisheng said.

After Emperor Chengzu seized the world, he began to gradually weaken the power of the vassal kings because he was the one who took the world from the vassal kings, so he was particularly taboo about military power.

The vassal kings appointed by Emperor Taizu of the founding country at most had three to four guards, with an army of tens of thousands. But now, through the means of emperors of all generations, the vassal kings generally had no more than 1,500 guards.

This upcoming guard must be the private soldier that Zhu Ruisheng started in the future and the foundation of the future army. However, how to make the emperor less sensitive requires finding a suitable excuse.

"What you said makes sense, but it is almost impossible for so many officers and soldiers to be recognized by the Ministry of War. In other words, it is difficult to support you in terms of military pay. I promised you to form a guard, but you need to replace the Jinyiwei's local area as soon as possible, otherwise you can't afford it just by consuming it." Emperor Sheng Long thought for a while and said.

This is what I agree!

Indeed, Zhu Ruisheng was talking about the fact that the emperors of the Tianming Dynasty almost could not even go out of the Forbidden City, let alone the distant Jiangnan, where subjects there may have never seen the emperor for generations.

The fiefs of the royal princes are rarely in Jiangnan, and most of them are in the heart of the Central Plains. The key is that Jiangnan, especially in the southern Zhili region, have a strong literary style, and there is also a team of six ministries. If it is replaced by an ambitious prince, it may become a confrontation between the north and the south in the future.

But what Zhu Ruisheng said touched Emperor Shenglong. Most of the cabinets of the Tianming Dynasty came from Jiangnan and had great influence in their hometown. In an era when the imperial power was restricted, it should be specially demonstrated.

Secondly, Emperor Shenglong didn't believe that Zhu Ruisheng had the courage to raise so many troops. A guard would cost nearly 200,000 taels of silver a year, which was not a small amount of money!
