Although Gao Jie was a little shocked, he still tried to calm down.
"Your Majesty must make your own decisions on this matter.
How dare I make false claims?"
Zhu Cixiang nodded slightly and said, "I want Gao Qing to lead his army to Shandong."
Without waiting for Gao Jie's response, Zhu Cixiang continued: "Shandong's geographical location is extremely important.
It can be advanced, attacked, retreated, or defended.
It is a battleground for military strategists.
After thinking about it, I feel that only Gao Qing has the ability to command a large army to garrison here."
Gao Jie quickly thanked him and said, "Thank you very much for your majesty's trust.
I will definitely regain Shandong and live up to your majesty's trust."
Zhu Cixiang also promised Gao Jie that as long as he could hold Shandong, the court would grant him a title, and it would not be a problem to make him a prince or even a marquis.
The reason why Zhu Cixiang chose Gao Jie to teach in Shandong was also carefully considered.
First of all, Gao Jie was quite a man of character.
Historically, he died at the hands of Xu Dingguo of Suizhou because of the Northern Expedition.
The latter immediately surrendered to the Manchus after killing Gao Jie.
Therefore, Zhu Cihong did not have to worry about Gao Jie defecting to the Manchus.
As for Gao Jie's defection to Li Zicheng, it is even more impossible.
Gao Jie kidnapped Li Zicheng's concubine, Mrs.
Xing, and gave Li Zicheng a big cuckold.
No man can tolerate this.
Now that the world is in a tripartite state, the other two possibilities are eliminated, and Gao Jie can only rely on the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, using Gao Jie to take over Shandong is only a temporary measure.
When Zhu Cihong trains the new army, he will definitely slowly replace these old warlords.
But before that, he could only rely on these warlords.
In the final analysis, we still suffer from having no soldiers at our disposal.
As the king, Zhu Cixi could not completely trust Gao Jie, so it was essential to choose someone to check and balance him.
Zhu Cixiang already had a candidate in mind.
"I have decided to transfer Huai'an regiment training commander Qin Gongming to accompany Gao Qing, so that Gao Qing can deploy defenses in Shandong more easily."
If there is anyone in the world who is absolutely loyal to the Ming Dynasty, it must be the Qin family.
Although there are only 500 white pole soldiers of the Lao Sichuan Army under Qin Gongming, they are absolutely elite.
As for Lu Zhenfei's 1,000 people in the Biao camp, Zhu Cixiang was also prepared to let Qin Gongming take command of them.
Although the combat effectiveness of the remaining 20,000 rural soldiers was definitely not as good as that of the camp soldiers, Zhu Cixiang was still prepared to ask them to march to Shandong.
These rural soldiers are not capable of fighting in the field, but they are enough to defend the city.
At this time, the entire province of Shandong was recovered by King Ji, and all Zhu Cixi had to do was to ask people to take over the city.
Of course, if history continues to develop as it should, Dorgon is likely to send a partial division south to Shandong.
However, the number of people in this partial division will not be too large, just enough for these rural soldiers to see blood and experience.
"I obey the decree."
Of course Gao Jie understood that Zhu Cixiang arranged this to check and balance him, but as a minister, all he could do was obey his orders.
"If I remember correctly, Yuan Zhao will be fifteen this year, right?
I want Yuan Zhao to study at Huangming Military Academy.
I don't know what Gao Qing wants."
Zhu Cixiang suddenly changed the topic and talked about Gao Jie's son Gao Yuanzhao.
Gao Jie didn't expect that Zhu Cixiang knew his son's name, and was extremely moved.
He quickly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness on behalf of the dog."
He had heard about the Huangming Military Academy before.

It was said that it was an official school established by His Majesty the Emperor.
It was similar to the Imperial Academy for training civilian officials and was used to train senior military officers.
Moreover, the principal of the Huangming Military Academy is His Majesty the Emperor himself.
If you can enter the Huangming Military Academy to study, you will be a true disciple of the emperor.
In this time and space, Gao Jie was not named Xingping Bo as in the original history, so Gao Yuanzhao was not the prince of Xingping Bo, but just an ordinary son of the general soldier.
Under such circumstances, Gao Jie certainly had to put some effort into paving the way for his son, but he never thought that such a good opportunity would come to his door.
Gao Jie also understood that when the emperor asked his son to stay in Nanjing to study at the Huangming Military Academy, he actually meant to be a hostage.
But throughout the dynasties, didn’t the sons of military commanders always stay in the capital as hostages?
Since he has no objections, why should he worry about this?
Besides, His Majesty has promised that as long as he defends Shandong for the imperial court, he will be given a title.
Gao Jie was very excited when he thought that he had the opportunity to become a marquis.
Zhu Cixiang stepped forward and helped Gao Jie up and said: "Why should Gao Qing be so polite?
A tiger father has no son.
I believe that Yuan Zhao will be able to make great military exploits for the Ming Dynasty like Gao Qing in the future."
After hearing this, the last trace of doubt in Gao Jie's heart was swept away, and he cried: "My emperor is a wise man, and I and my whole family are willing to die for your majesty."
Nanjing Jingying.
Lu Zhenfei frowned, looked at the thousands of old and weak soldiers gathered on the school field, and let out a long sigh.
He expected that the generals in the Beijing camp would eat empty pay and drink the blood of soldiers, but he never thought that the shortage would be so serious.
Even the remaining more than a thousand soldiers were as weak as firewood.
The Beijing camp was supposed to be the most elite army of the Ming Dynasty, but now it is like this.
How can it not be sad?
Fortunately, His Majesty had the foresight to ask him to take charge of organizing and training the new army.
Otherwise, these Beijing soldiers alone would definitely not be able to fight a tough battle.
On the other side of the school grounds, recruits lined up to be registered one by one.
According to His Majesty the Emperor's request, not all applicants will be hired.
What Lu Zhenfei and the others have to do is to screen and select suitable candidates.
The emperor has a strict order that the recruits must be from good families with a clean background, endure hardships and stand hard work.
Those ruffians and street gangsters will never be able to join the New Army.
These recruits will not be formally established immediately after registration, but will undergo a round of training.
Only those who pass the training can stay and become members of the Shence Army.
"What's your name?
Where are you from?
Why do you want to be recruited into the camp?"
The clerk who recruited soldiers asked questions skillfully.
"My name is Liu Sanshui, from Yingtian Mansion.
My father and mother were starving to death, so they wanted to join the army to make a living."
Behind the desk, a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old with a sallow complexion said timidly.
His clothes were ragged and his hair was dirty, but his eyes were very bright, which made the little official who recruited soldiers shine.
"Did you know that the new army recruited and trained this time is called the Shence Army, and it will be led by the emperor himself.
If any soldiers perform poorly, they will be severely punished."
"I am not afraid of hardship, and I am willing to serve the imperial court.
All for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the Holy One."
Liu Sanshui mustered up the courage to speak out all the words he had prepared.
He looked at the clerk with pleading eyes and said, "Please, just let me sign up to join the army."
The clerk nodded, registered Liu Sanshui's name on the roster, and said in a deep voice: "You have passed the preliminary election, get a training uniform, and gather at the east side of the school ground.

Someone will arrange your accommodation.
You are not yet As a member of the Shence Army, you can only stay after passing a month of training."
Liu Sanshui bit his lip, nodded and said, "Thank you, sir, for reminding me."
The clerk's heart felt warm, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Next, continue
