Wang Yue smiled and said, "Mother, don't be polite to him, just be casual with him." ”

Li Xiufang glared at him and said, "How do you speak?" Speaking of which, you are also an official now, why are you so unsuccessful? ”

After speaking, he apologized to Xie Baoqing and said: "Don't be surprised, Lord Xie, this kid is becoming more and more rude, and it is all taught by us elders who have no way." You'll have to teach him a lot in the future! ”

Xie Baoqing was amused by her and said, "Okay, okay, just leave Sihua to me!" ”

After Li Xiufang left, Wang Yue said helplessly: "Is Lord Xie very happy?" ”

Xie Baoqing stroked his beautiful hair seriously and said, "I'm thinking about how to teach you to be more polite, modest and cautious." Less lawless, arrogant. ”

Wang Yue shouted: "Lord Xie, don't wronged people!" I've never been arrogant, have I? ”

Xie Baoqing pointed to his nose and said, "You're not arrogant?" Do you have less arrogance? ”

Wang Yue shook his head and said, "If I'm really arrogant, then it's okay." ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Xie Baoqing said curiously.

"You don't understand!"

"You!"

As he was talking, Zhang Ziyun came in.

"Yo, Master Xie is also there!" Zhang Ziyun was surprised.

Xie Baoqing hurriedly saluted and said, "I've seen the second miss!" ”

"Sit, sit!" Zhang Ziyun greeted and asked Wang Yue again: "Is the meal ready?" I am hungry. ”

Wang Yue said: "How do I know? I guess it's coming soon, right? ”

"Then I'll take a look!" She turned and walked out the door.

Xie Baoqing stood there for a moment, then turned to Wang Yue and said, "We must propose marriage as soon as possible!" She has made this place her own home, how will she get it in the long run? ”

Wang Yue shrugged indifferently.

The platform is the gimbal door. The platform is a little higher than the pedestal of the three major halls, and the front and back lead to the corridor. Standing on the platform, you can see the appearance of the three halls inside and outside the imperial city, but it is a good place in the imperial city.

Cao Huachun said to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, Lord Xie Baoqing has arrived. ”

"Oh, pass it!" Chongzhen immediately commanded.

Xie Baoqing's Wanping County regimental training actually calmed the chaos in Beijing with his own strength, so Chongzhen summoned him alone to show his favor. Xie Baoqing is a civil official from the two lists of Jinshi and a genuine brand, which is of course different from Wang Yue's half-way civil official in Chongzhen's mind.

Xie Baoqing quickly stepped into the platform and saluted Chongzhen and said: "Minister Xie Baoqing, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

"Xie Qing's family doesn't have to be polite, look at the seat!" Chongzhen Road.

"Emperor Xie!" Xie Baoqing arched his hand.

After seeing Xie Baoqing sit down, Chongzhen smiled and said, "I and Xie Aiqing are meeting for the second time, right?" ”

Xie Baoqing said respectfully: "The emperor is right, the last time the minister saw the holy face was when he took office as the magistrate of Wanping County three years ago. ”

Chongzhen sighed with emotion: "It's been three years, but I didn't expect that Wanping Zhi County back then would be able to calm down the Jingshi Rebellion so quickly for me." not only exterminated 70,000 Jiannu, but also captured a pseudo-county king, a Baylor. It's amazing, it's amazing. ”

He asked Xie Baoqing curiously: "I heard that your army is only 3,000, but the slaughter of Jiannu is like destroying the withering and decaying, how did you do it?" ”

Most of the information Chongzhen received was hearsay, and the language was unknown. The military department went to the scene to verify the battle exploits, and he checked the corpses of those Jiannu, but he only knew that it was killed by firecrackers or cannonballs, but he couldn't say what it was, so he wanted to ask the person concerned.

As for Wang Yue, he said that he lost 10,000 people in the first battle, but the next few battles were all fought by more than 2,000 people, and there were too many people who witnessed it, and they were the ones who fought later.

"Don't hide it from the emperor," Xie Baoqing sorted out his thoughts and said: "The fire gun used in my Wanping County regimental training is made by the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty, and it is called an automatic rifle. It can be loaded with 30 leads, and it can penetrate any armor from 320 steps away, and it can be fired continuously, so it is difficult to build a slave! ”

Wang Yue knew the secret of the rifle, and the imperial court would know it sooner or later, so it didn't matter.

"No wonder, no wonder, someone who can build that kind of precision car can make such a firecracker, oh, rifle, no wonder Jiannu is invincible."

There is such a sharp fire gun in the world, and Chongzhen believes it a little. The car has been in the palace for a few days, and he also knows a little about it, knowing that the craftsmanship of the car is superb, and no one in the entire Ming Dynasty can match it.

"Xie Aiqing," Chongzhen said hopefully, "Since there is such a sharp weapon, why worry about the immortality." I want to use you as the strategic envoy of Liaodong, expand the regimental training of Wanping County into an army, and call it the Tiance Army, sweep away the eastern captives for me, and recover Liaodong, so as to express the difficulties of the people in the four seas. ”

Chongzhen still likes the military name with the prefix of Tianzi, such as Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army.

Xie Bao expected it early in the morning, and he said: "Back to the emperor, according to Wang Yue, it is not easy to make rifles, especially lead. The regimental trainers suffered a lot of losses in the battle with Jiannu this time, and it would take a year for the ammunition of these 3,000 troops to be replenished, so it was difficult to expand the troops in the short term. ”

"Oh?" When he said this, Chongzhen could also understand: "Then when can we expand the army, and when can we attack Liaodong?" ”

Xie Baoqing replied: "One year! ”

"A year?" Chongzhen stood up and walked back and forth.

Emperor Chongzhen is an impatient person, otherwise he would not have replaced fifty scholars in the seventeenth year of his reign.

He stopped and said, "In this way, let Wang Yue present a few rifles, and I will order the Ministry of Engineering to copy them, then we can speed up the progress."

It's a whimsical idea. Originally, he also wanted Wang Yue to offer guns, but I heard that there were not many of them, so let's try to imitate them. After all, those guns are Wang Yue's private property, and they can't hurt the hearts of heroes.

Although it is against the law to make a fire gun without permission. But Wang Yue made such great feats and killed so many Jiannu, then the problem is not a problem.

Xie Baoqing had no choice but to say: "The minister will definitely handle this matter!" ”

Chongzhen was very satisfied: "That Wang Yue is a stranger, he can get so many rare things, and he has made such a great contribution this time, but unfortunately he is only from a show." Cao Daban drafted a decree, Qin gave Wang Yue the same Jinshi background, added the rank of Lang in the military department, reorganized the military equipment of all counties in Shuntianfu, and formed the Tiance Army. ”

It has already been mentioned in the court meeting, let Wang Yue reorganize the military equipment of Shuntianfu. In fact, it is a military preparation road, and the Beijing camp cannot rely on it, so let's train an army alone. The soldier Langzhong is the fifth grade, Wang Yue has been promoted again, and there is a real position, that is, the soldier's road.

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "Wang Yue has destroyed so many Jiannu, and the burden on the court is too great if he rewards silver. Doesn't he like to buy land? Then reward Wang Yue with 100,000 acres of land. ”

Wang Yue's big purchase in Shijingshan near the starting point city was spread all over the capital, and even Chongzhen knew about it.

Then Chongzhen said: "Xie Baoqing Xie Aiqing was promoted to Shun Tianfu Yin, added the rank of right attendant of the military department, rewarded two thousand taels of silver, gave a set of python clothes, a jade belt, and a son of Yin Jinyi and a hundred households!" Sun Jinyong made meritorious contributions to the country, was promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and Lu Chengde was promoted to the magistrate of Wanping County. Other meritorious personnel shall be rewarded for meritorious service after approval by the Ministry of War. ”

Xie Baoqing said excitedly: "Thank you for the emperor's favor!" ”
