Chapter 48 Receive Your Majesty's Salary and Eat Your Majesty's Food
Ancestral!
Zhu Houxi was about to laugh, in a hurry, he couldn't say that he got it from Zhang Heling, right?
How else to say?
Was Zhang Heling generously donating, or did he commit a crime?
Since a crime has been committed, it is a crime, and the household department must be investigated, after all, Zhu Houxi has also investigated Jiang Bin's crime...... Using ancestral heritage as an excuse, there is no problem at all.
Zhu Houxi paid attention to the faces of the ministers, and when he said that he had money and could take out a million taels, the courtiers were shocked, puzzled, doubtful, and even frightened.
Suddenly, Zhu Houxi was not so distressed, anyway, it was all black and black, and he was not distressed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if it is only that the food and grass and military salaries are not enough, I am willing to take out the silver from the inner money, which is left to me by my ancestors, and I think you will not have any opinions! Wang Butang, and Wang Yue, you two stay! ”
I was left behind by the emperor again, and I was quite lucky.
Zhu Houxi strode in front, and the three monarchs and ministers arrived at the Qianqing Palace. Zhu Houxi sat down hurriedly and asked directly: "Wang Shangshu, if I give you money, will I be able to win the battle against the Tartars, and how many can I kill?" Ten thousand, or eight thousand? ”
Listening to Zhu Houxi's words, Wang Yangming couldn't help but have a thought, this little emperor is really a ...... Child!
That's right, he'll be fifteen years old in a few months!
Let him understand how to strategize, it is still too difficult, Wang Yangming shook his head slightly, "Your Majesty, if you want to deal with the little prince's invasion, you must first have soldiers, money and food, and understand the enemy's situation. ”
When Zhu Houxi heard this, he was immediately deflated. It seems that he can't do anything but a little money.
"Wang Qing, you are famous all over the world, and you are the best at defeating the strong with the weak, is there no way?" Zhu Houxi asked without giving up.
Wang Yangming groaned: "It's not impossible, but I have to ask someone to help." ”
"Who?" Zhu Houxi immediately asked, no matter who it was, he would agree.
Wang Yangming paused for a long time, and finally spit out a name: "Zhang Yong, invite Grandpa Zhang, maybe you can still have the strength to fight." ”
The secretary of the military department, the great Confucian of the world, actually recommended a eunuch, and I am afraid that only Wang Yangming can do this thing.
Zhu Houxi was not very happy when he heard Wang Yangming mention the old eunuch.
Since Zhengde's death, those eunuchs with infinite scenery have been suppressed, and the scenery is gone. Except for Gu Dayong who helped raid the Zhang family, the rest of the people had little room for expression.
The reason is also very simple, eunuchs are essentially an extension of imperial power, Zhu Houxi doesn't like eunuchs, and even if they are reused, it will not be the turn of the old people of Zhengde, if nothing else, the eight tigers of the Zhengde Dynasty will disappear and be unknown. They may die in Fengyang, die in Xiaoling, or be bullied by their later generations, and die alone, unable to even mix a coffin.
This is the final fate of the vast majority of eunuchs.
Think about it carefully, like Liu Jin, being cut by a thousand knives and leaving a name in the annals of history, maybe it is still a better result!
"Call Zhang Yong to come over."
After a while, a tall and burly fellow strode forward.
If you don't consider the chin that is as smooth as an egg, this is simply a martial artist and a powerful general. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a standard Chinese face, a straight back, and his whole body, revealing such a momentum.
Even if he kneels on the ground and calls himself a slave, no one just treats him as an incomplete person!
"Slave Zhang Yong, meet the emperor!"
Zhu Houxi said: "Zhang Companion is flat!" It was Wang Shangshu who wanted to see you and discuss the matter of dealing with the Tartars. ”
Zhang Yong bowed his body and turned to Wang Yangming.
"Lord Ministry, the slave and maid are not familiar with military affairs, if there is anything in the ministry, just play Your Majesty, and the slave and maid will act according to the order!"
Wang Yangming smiled, "Gonggong Zhang, you follow the first emperor, train troops and fight, and have a lot of experience." Now that he is in charge of the soldiers and horses of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, Wang wants to ask for advice, how many soldiers can the Imperial Horse Supervisor transfer? ”
Zhang Yong did not answer directly, but looked up at Zhu Houxi.
Zhu Houxi was very satisfied with Zhang Yong's well-behavedness, and said with a smile: "Wang Shangshu is asking questions for me, Zhang Companion, the Imperial Horse Prison will not be the same as the three major battalions, it will be empty, right?" ”
Zhang Yong immediately said: "Back to the emperor, the Imperial Horse Supervisor has four guards under the jurisdiction of Teng Xiang, each guard has 5,600 soldiers, and there are nearly 8,000 warrior battalions, and now there are 30,000 soldiers and horses under the Imperial Horse Prison. ”
"Thirty thousand? Are there no vacancies? Zhu Houxi asked curiously, after all, he was frightened by the tragic appearance of the three major battalions.
Zhang Yong bowed and said: "If you go back to the emperor, there are only a lot of soldiers and horses in the Imperial Horse Supervisor!" After a pause, he said: "The first emperor recruited warriors from all over the country to fill them, and also looked for meritorious soldiers from the four outer families to enrich the four guards and warrior camps, and now the total number is more than 37,000!" ”
Zhang Yong is not a liar, in this way, the soldiers of the Imperial Horse Supervisor are the real legacy left by Zhengde to Zhu Houxi!
More than 30,000 soldiers, enough for one battle!
Wang Yangming thought about it for a while and immediately had a plan.
"Your Majesty, the minister proposes to select 12,000 people from the four guards and the warrior battalion, immediately leave Juyong Pass, choose the opportunity to attack the little prince, and force him to retreat."
Zhu Houxi hesitated: "Wang Shangshu, is 12,000 people too little?" ”
Wang Yangming shook his head, "It's a lot, not to mention that you have to protect the safety of the Jingshi, which is already the limit of what can be transferred." The minister thought that as long as the morale was strong, he could fight! ”
Zhu Houxi was overjoyed, "Since this is the case, let's fight!" Hit hard! Hit the majesty of my Ming! Let Hu Lu know that I am not easy to bully! ”
Zhu Houxi is full of energy and confidence.
But Zhang Yong raised his head several times, and there was a look of worry in his eyes.
"Emperor Qi, there is something that slaves and maids can't help but talk about! Since the four families were disbanded and repatriated. The four guards and the warrior battalion, the hearts of the people are unstable, the morale is fluctuating, and ......"
Zhang Yong hesitated, and Zhu Houxi said unceremoniously: "Zhang Banban, if you have something to say, don't swallow it." ”
"Yes!" Zhang Yong nodded, "Your Majesty, the slave maid got the news from Dongchang, and some unscrupulous people from the four other families who were dismissed actually defected to the Tartars and fought for the tiger!" The slaves and maids were afraid that these people would leak military information, and even colluded with the Tartars to mutiniate and join the enemy...... If this is the case, I am afraid that no matter how many soldiers and horses there are, it will be difficult to win! ”
Zhang Yong's words were like a basin of ice water, pouring from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. Zhu Houxi's enthusiasm was extinguished at once.
What are you kidding, the morale of the army is shaken, the morale is not there, and there are still people leaking secrets.
Even if you are an immortal, don't even think about winning this battle!
Including Wang Yangming, they all frowned.
He looked for Zhang Yong, because he knew that the three battalions were unusable, and he needed to rely on the soldiers and horses of Teng Xiang and the four guards. Now there are people, but if the situation is so bad, he doesn't have a way to turn things around immediately?
Everyone was silent, except for Wang Yue, whose eyes rolled and suddenly stood up.
"Your Majesty, the minister has an idea, but he is afraid that he will tire His Majesty!"
Zhu Houxi snorted: "You won't let me drive the expedition in person, right?" ”
"No, no, no!" Wang Yue said: "The minister just wants to ask His Majesty to move to the barracks and personally pay the soldiers!" ”
……
The Son of Heaven suddenly left the palace, the Son of Heaven went outside the city, and the Son of Heaven went straight to the military camp!
Although the capital is big, any wind and grass will quickly spread everywhere, especially the emperor's every move, and it can't be hidden!
What is Your Majesty doing here?
Could it be that he wants to learn from the first emperor?
"Elder Ge, you have to advise Your Majesty!" Many people came to Yang Tinghe, this Yang Ge Lao was already anxious, he opposed taking the initiative, the little emperor dared to play the royal driving pro-campaign, how could this product be more rebellious than Zhu Houzhao?
Yang Tinghe had a blue face and hurried out of the city.
At this moment, Zhu Houxi was holding the silver and enjoying it.
"Take it, fight well!"
A soldier took the heavy silver ingot with both hands, and tears flowed down his eyes.
Even Zhengde, who likes martial arts, has never paid them military salaries with his own hands!
He was excited, and shouted loudly: "Take Your Majesty's salary, eat Your Majesty's food, and work for Your Majesty!" ”
His roar spread quickly, and all the soldiers on the school field kept roaring, wave after wave.
Yang Tinghe, who had just arrived, saw such a scene......
