"Right now, my Ming Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles, and the emperor is struggling to ascend the throne for the first time."

"I want to hear about it." Wang Zezhi said cautiously.

"Hundreds of officials in the court attacked each other, the people outside the court were miserable, and the country was in constant turmoil." Wang Chengen put down his chopsticks and sighed.

"When the last general heard this, his heart ached." Wang Zezhi was heartbroken.

"Mr. Wang's words are wrong, in fact, there are also opportunities hidden in the crisis, heroes are born in troubled times, it is the time for the husband to make contributions, Mr. Wang has been promoted several levels, isn't it the best proof?"

Wang Chengen knew that Wang Zezhi was acting at a glance, so he directly pierced it and ridiculed it.

"Your Excellency is right, but, the emperor is sage, there is a place for heroes like us."

From the identity of Jinyi Wei's deputy Qianhu, Wang Zezhi is called Lord Wang Chengen, which is not wrong at all.

"Hmph, Mr. Wang is worried that the emperor will be unfavorable to you, right?" Wang Chengen snorted coldly and said unhappily.

Wang Zezhi's careful thinking is not enough in his eyes.

"As far as I know, the Chongzhen Dynasty is far better than the Apocalypse Dynasty, and the Chongzhen Emperor is far better than the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Mr. Wang, I can feel that the emperor sincerely trusts you, otherwise he wouldn't have promoted you to several levels against public opinion. Wang Chengen's words were earnest and persuasive.

"Your Majesty." Wang Zezhi suddenly knelt on the ground and bowed in the direction of the palace.

"The emperor has entrusted you with all the soldiers and horses in the northwest of Shanxi, do you know what this means?"

"Please make it clear."

"The emperor is shengming, the emperor knows that Wang Zongbing has the ability." When Wang Chengen said this, he suddenly knelt beside Wang Zezhi.

"I, Wang Chengen, am willing to share weal and sorrow with Wang Zezhi, advance and retreat together, and jointly assist the emperor to rejuvenate my Ming Dynasty."

"I..." Wang Zezhi was excited, and just wanted to make a poisonous oath.

"Don't say anything, I have said everything I should say, I don't need you to make any commitments, I just need General Wang to be loyal to his duties and do a good job in the protection of the northwest border of the mountain."

Wang Chengen suddenly stretched out his hand to interrupt Wang Zezhi's oath.

"I'll tell you something I shouldn't have said..."

Wang Chengen began to tell Wang Zezhi some court secrets, and Wang Zezhi was frightened, but he still listened carefully and curiously.

Chongzhen got the letter handed over by Wang Ze to surrender to the enemy, added the names of some people, and ordered Wei Zhongxian to rebel against the case.

Hearing this, Wang Zezhi became entangled, if you know more about this kind of secret, you won't live long.

Wang Chengen is trying to tie Wang Zezhi's death to Chongzhen's hands.

He was too curious, though, to know who those names were.

Chongzhen's order listed Wei Zhongxian's party members for the purpose of "praising the guide", "supporting", "praising beauty", and "attaching to the enemy", and two of them were added by him to the letter of surrender.

Cui Chengxiu and others were beheaded for the crimes of "treason and betrayal" and "conspiracy of the first rebellion"; Liu Zhixuan and others were beheaded and executed after the autumn on charges of "treason and betrayal" and "befriending close servants".

Wei Guangwei and other 11 people and Wei Zhide and 35 others were all in the army, and they were charged with "flattery and support", and the eunuch Li Shi and others were all in the army for the crime of "befriending close servants and being inferior".

Gu Bingqian and other 129 people were sentenced to three years for the crime of "befriending close servants and others", and were redeemed for the people; Huang Liji and 44 others were dismissed from their posts and idle.

In other words, the names of Cui Chengxiu and Liu Zhixuan were additionally added by Chongzhen, and these people are all Wei Zhongxian's party.

"What should be said, what should not be said, I have said everything, the emperor asked me to ask you, will General Wang need food and salary after taking office?"

Wang Zezhi was shocked after hearing this, Chongzhen is really ruthless, and he doesn't want to stay in Wei Zhongxian's party.

"I don't need food and salary, dare to ask my lord, can there be armor, guns, artillery, and gunpowder in Beijing?"

Wang Zezhi knew that Chongzhen had no money, and those who asked him for food and salary did not end well.

"It's not a secret, there is not much food and salary in the treasury, but there are a lot of armor and firearms sealed in Beijing.

A few days ago, Yuan Chonghuan asked for 5 million taels of food and salary from the emperor's imperial silver to rectify the military affairs of Liaodong.

Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces of soldiers and horses, the emperor did not send hungry soldiers, allocated 900,000 taels of imperial silver, and paid the soldiers.

Imperial silver is the foundation of the country, and it can not be used.

How many armor and firearms does General Wang need to equip with soldiers? ”

Chongzhen trusted Yuan Chonghuan very much, and in order to complete the five-year plan to pacify Liaodong, he did everything to support Yuan Chonghuan.

Chen Qiyu was the governor of the five provinces, and he couldn't do anything without food.

Wang Zezhi didn't have any great merit except for the battle of Xi'an Fort, and he didn't dare to ask Chongzhen for imperial silver.

I can only settle for the next best thing, and I want some weapons and equipment.

Wang Chengen asked him how many people he would have, and this question was a little difficult to answer.

If there is too much retribution, he is afraid that Chongzhen will be suspicious, and the total army will support the army and respect himself, which has always been intolerable to the emperor.

It's too fake to report less.

"Three thousand soldiers and horses, three thousand soldiers and horses are enough."

"Okay, this matter is not difficult, General Wang should go to his post quickly, these things will arrive in a few days after the emperor's decree."

"Master Xie." 49 eBooks

"Don't thank me, thank the emperor." Wang Chengen's void arched his hand in the direction of the palace.

"Thank you for the Emperor's grace." Wang Zezhi did the same, and he also arched his hand.

"What are you doing in a daze, go to work."

"It's... I have no money on me. ”

"No, take it." Wang Chengen took out an ingot of twenty taels of gold, and Wang Zezhi took it.

Wang Zezhi bowed down and thanked him repeatedly, and hurriedly ran out of the door.

"That's it." Wang Chengen didn't know what he thought, and suddenly screamed.

Wang Zezhi's running figure suddenly stopped, turned his head suddenly, and looked at Wang Chengen coldly.

He was about to get out of trouble, Wang Chengen suddenly stopped him, what kind of moth was he going to make.

Wang Chengen looked at Wang Zezhi, who suddenly turned his head, and the hairs on his body stood on end, and he actually had a feeling of eagle and wolf.

Wang Zezhi knew that he was in a hurry, so he only maintained this posture for a breath, and immediately turned into a smiling face.

"My lord, what do you command?"

"Have a nice trip."

"Master Xie."

Wang Chengen looked at Wang Zezhi with a smile on his face, and he felt that the feeling just now was an illusion.

After Wang Chengen watched Wang Zezhi leave, he rubbed his hands, picked up chopsticks, and returned to the table to continue tasting.

"Well, it's delicious, it's delicious."

After eating three dishes in a row, Wang Chengen thought it was delicious, and suddenly he remembered the emperor, so he thought about putting these dishes back for the emperor to taste.

"Someone."

"The little ones are here."

"Pack all these dishes and bring them back to the palace."

"Yes."

Not long after, Wang Chengen returned to the palace with boxes of delicacies.

As the emperor, Chongzhen is very troublesome to eat.

There are all kinds of tests to do, and testing for poison is the top priority.

So, when these meals arrived on the emperor's table, they were all cold.

When Wang Chengen brought these dishes back, even if Wang Chengen said that he had already tried them, the palace still went through the process.

"Well, it tastes good, I've never eaten anything so delicious, what do my cooks do, the food they cook is not as delicious as a martial artist's cooking, pass the order down, let them learn, and they must make these dishes for me."

"Yes."

Chongzhen took a bite of each dish, then removed the dishes and handed them over to the cook to study.

After a quarter of an hour, a sweet and sour carp was served.

"The taste is wrong, the taste is wrong." Chongzhen couldn't eat it anymore after taking a bite, it was too sour, too sweet, and he couldn't eat it anymore.

"Well, forget it, don't blame the cook." Chongzhen sighed, beckoned, and called back the eunuch who was going to scold the cook.

"Wang Chengen."

"The minister is here."

"Is Wang Zezhi gone?"

"I'm already on my way to work."

"Does he want food?"

"Never."

"And what does he want?"

"He asked for armor and firearms."

"Oh? Interesting, how much does he want? ”

"Three thousand soldiers and horses."

Chongzhen heard the number of Wang Zezhi's soldiers and horses, and stamped back and forth and thought for a long time.

"Your Majesty, he doesn't have as many soldiers and horses as the Imperial Forest Army." Wang Chengen knows Chongzhen's temperament, and Chongzhen is worried.

"Give, 3,000 is not enough, I will give him 6,000 soldiers and horses."

Chongzhen thought about it, he felt that as an emperor, he couldn't be too stingy, and with a wave of his hand, he decided to give Wang Zezhi 6,000 soldiers and horses.

"Yes."

Wang Chengen received the order and immediately went to transfer supplies.
