I don’t want to make a choice, I want both!

Zhu Changzi made a direct decision and first invited all the people recommended by everyone back to Hangzhou.

Before the discussion was over, the palace had already sent several waves of troops to various places.

"Who do you think is the most suitable among these people?" Zhu Changzi asked. He didn't know these people very well, so he still needs to listen to the opinions of all the ministers.

Everyone in the hall discussed for a while and then unanimously agreed.

"When I was asked to supervise the country, I thought that Wu Di was qualified for the job," Jiang Yueguang said.

Lu Daqi and Zhang Shenyan were old, so they chose between Jiang Dejing and Wu Dong.

Wu Di once served as a supervisor, and his experience in planning battles is better than that of Jiang Dejing, so he is the most suitable.

"Okay! Let's decide on Wu Zong. Before he takes office, I will let Chen Zilong, the right servant, take charge of the ministry temporarily."

"I obey my orders."

Chen Zilong is the right minister of the Ministry of War. He is now assisting in the military affairs of the Beijing camp. The affairs of the Beijing camp are on the right track. With Fang Yuanke here, Chen Zilong is relatively free.

"By the way, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment should also be established. Let's discuss it together today."

In the past, because of the emergency of the war, everything was kept simple and fast. Now the land clearing is about to begin, and the six ministries must also be improved, especially the Ministry of Industry, which is closely related to people's livelihood.

The Ministry of Industry is indispensable for regulating rivers and embankments, building bridges and paving roads.

Zhu Changzi had long had the idea of ​​building roads, which would facilitate the movement of troops and benefit ordinary people and merchants.

I think back then, the Qin Dynasty's straight road radiated in all directions, and in the capital region, the Qin army arrived at dawn and dusk, which was a complete deterrent.

Although water networks are spread throughout Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Zhu Changzi also wants to build a straight road connecting the two Zhejiang, so that Hangzhou Jingying can deter eastern Zhejiang.

But now he knows that haste makes waste, and he has to take it step by step.

Therefore, let’s set up the platform for the Ministry of Industry first.

"There is someone who recommended this Minister of Punishment!" Jiang Yueguang thought of someone and felt that he was very suitable, so he recommended him to Zhu Changzi.

"Oh? Jiang Gebu, come and tell me!" Zhu Changzi said with a smile, he is worthy of being the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, there are many treasures in this bag.

"This person is Wan Yuanji, the former head of Nanjing's Department of Professional Affairs. He has been promoted from official position to official position. It can be said that he started from a humble beginning. He has rich experience and is fair in dealing with matters."

Several other people were not familiar with Wan Yuanji and did not comment.

Zhu Changzi thought for a while and felt that since he started by recommending officials, the matter of criminal names should be his specialty.

"Yes! He took up the post of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment of Wan Yuan, and the cabinet immediately issued an official document to recall him."

"As for the Ministry of Works, I wonder if there is a suitable candidate for the Supervisory State?" Jiang Yueguang asked respectfully.

When Zhu Changzi heard this, his eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Jiang Yueguang really knows how to do things.

Zhang Guowei, who drank tea silently, was even more impressed in his heart. Jiang Yueguang knew how to advance and retreat, knew how to measure, and understood the emperor's heart. It seemed that he was the next one to take the position of chief assistant.

"How about Xia Yunyi?"

Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang looked at each other. Xia Yunyi was a little less qualified. It seemed a little unsafe to be a minister at a young age.

"I believe that Xia Yunyi is practical, capable, intelligent and can be promoted."

When the two cabinet ministers hesitated, Zhang Guowei directly expressed his attitude.

The court cannot be filled only with old ministers, otherwise it would appear to be sluggish.

In his opinion, the future of Ming Dynasty belongs to young people, so they should be trained more.

He knew Xia Yunyi. When a scholar was defending the city, he dared to go into battle with a sword, which showed his ambition.

"I have no objection," Jiang Yueguang said quickly.

Zhu Changzi nodded with satisfaction. The old minister is a Dinghai needle, but it’s not good if all of them are Dinghai needles.

All the affairs of the six ministries have been decided, and the cabinet can supervise them one by one.

Everyone dispersed, and Zhu Changzi left Zhang Guowei behind.

The two came to the map on the ground in the back garden.

"Yuji, I heard that Boluo has an army of 200,000, and Jiangyin may not be able to defend it." Zhu Changzi said with a sad face.

"Not only that, Nanjing sent two groups of reinforcements, one led by Liu Liangzuo to attack Jiangyin, and the other led by Beizi Mandahai to support Duduo." Zhang Guowei was also worried, how could the small town of Jiangyin withstand such a heavy attack by the Qing army?

.

"Xiong Rulin has 10,000 men under his command. I'm afraid this trip will be a drop in the bucket."

"I'm afraid...we have to give up Jiangyin."

Now the Ming army only has sporadic resistance forces under the command of Huaifu Tianyang in the Susong area.

It can be said that in Susong, the Ming army was temporarily unable to recover, and Jiangyin was already an isolated city.

Zhu Changzi sighed and started pacing in front of the map.

"Jiangyin is still saved! Everyone is watching."

If Jiangyin is abandoned, how many cities will be willing to stick to the end for the Ming Dynasty?

What is saved is the people, and it is also the credibility of the court.

"Now the capital camp is still in its infancy, it is not suitable to go to war, and I have no soldiers under my command." Zhang Guowei is also a clever woman who cannot make a meal without rice.

Zhu Changzi was silent. Zhang Guowei was telling the truth. After Duduo received reinforcements, he still didn't know what kind of cruel battle Hangzhou would face. The Beijing camp must not touch it without permission.

The monarch and his ministers began to think hard about a rescue plan.

The garden is quiet except for the gentle breeze.

At this time, King Chu and King Tang, who were staying in the palace, walked into the garden talking and laughing.

The two originally wanted to play chess in the garden pavilion, but as soon as they entered, they saw King Lu and Zhang Guowei with grim faces.

"Brother Wang, what are you worried about?" Chu King Zhu Huabi stepped forward and asked with a smile.

Zhang Guowei paid tribute to the two kings and was directly helped up by Tang Wang Zhu Yujian.

"The Qing army will attack Jiangyin, and the imperial court is unable to rescue it. The situation is critical." Zhu Changzi said directly.

Zhang Guowei feels a little strange now. In the Ming Dynasty, there were not many scenes where several vassals discussed politics together.

King Lu actually doesn’t care about the vassal king’s participation in politics?

I saw the young King of Chu thinking seriously, and the King of Tang even started planning on the stone map.

Zhang Guowei doesn't know how to describe it, he always feels that the scene in front of him is harmonious but awkward.

"Boluo gathered 200,000 troops to attack Jiangyin. At this time, Songjiang Mansion is empty. If a navy raids Songjiang, the pressure on Jiangyin may be reduced." Chu King Zhu Huabi pointed at Songjiang on the map and said.

"Send the navy into the Yangtze River again to contain the Qing army!" the king of Tang added.

"Yes! Counting the days, the Jinghai Navy should be arriving soon, but I don't know where it went." Zhu Changzi nodded.

"I just don't know how many troops Lu Jianbai can send." Zhang Guowei worried, after all, Lu Zhenfei, the governor of coastal defense, is also very tight on money.

The one million taels of silver given by King Lu was less than half of it just to build and purchase warships and equip them with weapons.

Building ports, maintaining warships, recruiting sailors, everything costs money like water.

"Soldiers are valuable. Ten thousand elite soldiers can attack Songjiang Mansion. Let Boluo divide his troops to come back for reinforcements, reduce the pressure on Jiangyin, and let Jiangyin know that the court has not given up on them." The king of Tang said, looking at the three of them.

Zhu Changzi nodded in agreement. The imperial court was weak and had no choice but to do its best.

Just as the four of them were discussing the specific details, a servant suddenly came to report.

"Reporting to the Supervisor, Xu Fuyuan, a staff member of the Governor-General's Office, came to look for Governor Zhang."

"Bring it here."

Soon, Xu Fuyuan walked into the garden, and with just one glance, he saw the three kings standing together. He was shocked, and then he suppressed his thoughts and hurried forward to salute one by one.

"Mr. An, what happened?" Zhang Guowei knew that Xu Fuyuan came to see him personally, so something important must have happened.

"Reporting to the Supervisor, His Royal Highnesses, the King of Tang and the King of Chu, have just received a report from Qiantang Navy Commander Shi Lang. Shi Lang went north without authorization and went to Jiangyin!" Xu Fuyuan said helplessly.

Shi Lang was the commander-in-chief of Zhejiang Dusi, so he was placed under the command of the Governor-General of Zhejiang Province.

The Qiantang Navy is also a navy under the command of the Governor-General of Zhejiang Province.

After Shi Lang garrisoned Haining Guards, he recruited the original Haining Guards defenders and acquired dozens of ships. Later, he also collected ships from coastal guards, expanding the Qiantang Navy to hundreds of large and small ships.

Now Shi Lang has 20,000 sailors and 100 warships under his command. It can be said that his strength has increased dramatically.

But what troubles Xu Fuyuan is that this guy Shi Lang always likes to kill first and then tell the story later. When he is done, he will send you an official document from the Governor's Mansion to inform you.

After hearing the news brought by Xu Fuyuan, Zhu Changzi was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that Shi Lang was very capable and had grown so quickly.

"Does this guy know that Boluo has an army of 200,000?" Zhang Guowei stamped his feet angrily.

"What a Shi Lang. It seems that he is determined to remove the word 'vice' on his head." Zhu Changzi knew that Shi Lang wanted to make meritorious deeds, so he couldn't bear his temper.

But it’s okay, if he leaves like this, Bolo will definitely look back.

"Young people still dare to do it...hehehe." Tang Wang Zhu Yujian said with a smile.

......

The eastern waters of Songjiang Prefecture.

Shi Lang was holding a telescope and observing the distance.

"Commander, the sentry ship has been released."

"Call the deputy commander! How many times have you said this?"

"Hey, it's only a matter of time!"

"You naughty guy! We need to send people to watch the Yangtze River Estuary to prevent the Qing navy from going to sea!"
