XXXVII. Tongue War
Although he shouted long live in his mouth, Lin Yu's heart was extremely uncomfortable.
As a time-traveler from the 21st century, Lin Yu believes in a saying: A man has gold under his knees, and only kneels to heaven and earth and his parents!
Although you, Zhu Youxiang, are the emperor, what's the big deal? Lao Tzu doesn't owe you the Zhu family!
If it weren't for Lao Tzu crossing in time and carrying a super plug-in, Yangzhou City would have been bleeding at this moment.
It won't be long before the Qing army's iron cavalry will cross the Yangtze River, the Qing army's heavy artillery will blast open the city gate of Nanjing, including Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youxiang, Lu Wang Zhu Changshu and the seventeen princes of the Ming imperial family were all beheaded at Caishikou, the Ming Dynasty collapsed, leaving only Zhu Youlang to live in the southwest corner, struggling to support!
"Ping...... Flat! ”
Intimidated by Lin Yu's momentum, Zhu Youxiang actually became a little stammering when he spoke, and subconsciously owed his ass as a courtesy.
"Alas...... There is really no majesty of the Son of Heaven! ”
Seeing this, Ma Shiying sighed secretly in his heart.
But then again, if today's son is a Daoming monarch and has a talent like Chengzu, how can he let himself monopolize power?
In just half a year, he promoted Ruan Dacheng from a cloth cloth to a third-grade soldier of the military department, such a big right, who can do it from the successive chiefs and assistants of the Ming Dynasty?
Thinking of Ruan Dacheng, Ma Shiying was a little angry, this guy actually crossed over to himself today and directly reported to the Son of Heaven about Lin Yu's dedication of the ironclad car. It seems that it is necessary to knock him and let him know who is the head of the cabinet!
Lin Yu stood in the center of the main hall, slowly raised his head, and looked at Zhu Youxiang with a pair of sharp eyes, examining this nominal and insubstantial great tomorrow.
I saw that Zhu Youxiang was about five and a half feet tall, which was about one meter and six five meters according to the calculation that one foot in the Ming Dynasty was equal to 30 centimeters in the 21st century. In the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was no such thing as a seven-foot man.
Zhu Youxiang's two cheeks are round, the eyes that are not big are more like two slits, the neck is thick and short, and the double chin vividly interprets the image of "big head, thick neck, either big money or a guy".
"Mr. Lin, you have worked hard along the way!"
After staring at Lin Yu for a moment, Zhu Youxiang finally held back a sentence.
Lin Yuwan smiled and arched his hand: "Serving the country is the duty of the courtiers, so why bother?" ”
Ma Shiying coughed and reminded: "Your Majesty, meritorious service will be rewarded, and if you have done so, you must be investigated, this is the way of the king!" ”
Only then did Zhu Youxiang remember the wording he had thought of before, so he straightened his face and said stiffly: "Lin Yu, you have made great contributions, and I and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are grateful to you, and those who should be rewarded have been rewarded." But if you change the military system without authorization, it is a crime of rebellion at worst, and I ordered you to hand over the ironclad car to atone for the crime, can you be convinced? ”
Lin Yu said: "Your Majesty, it is indeed a matter of carelessness for the minister to reform the military system on his own without reporting to the imperial court, and he is willing to hand over the ironclad car obtained by Taizu to the imperial court to atone for his crimes." But the reason why the minister reformed the military system was not because he was in charge of it, but because he was entrusted by Taizu......"
"Nonsense!"
Ma Shiying scolded loudly when she heard this, "You said that Taizu asked you to reform the military system in a dream, is there any evidence?" ”
Lin Yu glanced at Ma Shiying, without fear, and said loudly: "Presumably this is the head of the dynasty, Ma Ge Lao, right?" The ironclad battle of the Great Destruction of Jiannu is proof of this! Since Taizu asked the subordinate to find the ironclad car in the dream, why couldn't he ask the subordinate to reform the military system in the dream? Or is Shousuke-sama referring to the nonsense of the Taizu faction? ”
Ma Shiying's face changed, he didn't expect Lin Yu to be so sophistry, and he didn't know how to answer for a while?
Seeing this, Zhu Youxiang hurriedly rounded the field: "Hehe...... Since Lin Qing said that it was Taizu Tuomeng, Ma Aiqing didn't have to question it. Since Taizu was able to let Lin Zhenjiang find the ironclad car, it is also possible to let him reform the military system in his dream! ”
Lin Yu continued to gush: "Taizu said to his ministers in his dream that the system of the Great Ming Guard was abolished, the soldiers had no combat power, and they would have no fighting spirit, so that thieves were rampant and Bei/Beijing fell. Only by thoroughly reforming the military system can we turn the tide and help the great and the bright ......."
Lin Yu took out the recital of Shi Kefa and Liu Zhaoji from his arms as he spoke, and presented it with both hands: "This is the recital of Shi Kefa, the governor of Yangzhou, and Liu Zhaoji, the governor of Zuodu, both of whom support Weichen to reform the military system, improve the combat effectiveness of the team, expel Jiannu, and recover mountains and rivers. ”
Bingbi eunuch Lu Jiude stepped forward to take the fold and handed it to Zhu Youxiang, but he just glanced at it hastily, and then put it on the imperial case: "It seems that there is some truth!" ”
"Your Majesty, this matter should be handed over to the Ministry of War for discussion before making a decision."
Ma Shiying came out of the queue with a wat board in his arms and started playing loudly, "The Ming military system is determined by Taizu, how can you say that it will be changed?" How can you rely on Lin Zhenjiang's words, how can you make reforms with a letter from Shi Kefa and Liu Zhaoji? ”
Lin Yu suddenly raised his voice and argued: "It was Taizu who asked the lower officials to reform, what right do you have to not let it change?" Taizu also said that the powerful ministers in the court stood in the way and obstructed the reform! ”
"What do you use to prove that Taizu asked you to reform? I think you are deceiving the king and slandering your colleagues! Ma Shiying was so angry that he was furious, his eyebrows upside down, "I'm going to repair the book and ask Shi Kefa, is it he behind the scenes?" ”
Ruan Dacheng saw that the two were arguing, so he stood up and made peace: "Ma Ge is angry, and General Lin doesn't say a few words!" According to the lower officials, since the Shi Pavilion Department and Liu Dudu both support the reform of General Lin Bing, why don't you let him try it in his own battalion? ”
Ruan Dacheng glanced at Ma Shiying while persuading: The ironclad car has not yet landed on the ship, and it is not yet time to fall out with Lin Zhenjiang, let him take one step to see how many days he can jump?
Zhang Shenyan, a scholar of the Ministry of Shangshu, Zuodu Yushi, and Wenhuadian University, also stood up to support Lin Yu: "Ruan Shilang is reasonable, my Ming army is almost defeated in every battle now, and it has reached the time of life and death, so let Lin Zongbing give it a try!" ”
Xu Renjue, the young Duke of Wei, also spoke out in support: "When my father was alive, he also lamented the collapse of the guard system and the erosion of the army. ”
Zhu Youxiang hurriedly borrowed the slope to get off the donkey: "Ruan Aiqing is reasonable, since it is Taizu's dream, let Lin Qing give it a try!" If it can improve the combat effectiveness of the army, it will be promoted throughout the army; If it doesn't work, repeal the reform! ”
"Yes!"
Without waiting for Ma Shiying to refute, Lin Yu immediately thanked him, "The minister must live up to his holy hopes and swear to train an invincible iron-blooded army!" ”
"It's just a soldier on paper, without the ironclad car, how do you think you can win the Jiannu?"
Ma Shiying snorted coldly in her heart, and said with anger, "Since Your Majesty has allowed you to reform the system, then the old man will no longer object!" Where is the ironclad car, quickly drive into the palace and hand it over to His Majesty. ”
Lin Yu said unhurriedly: "If you go back to Ma Ge Lao, the ironclad car may be damp on the river surface and cannot be started for the time being, and it may need to be dried for a day or two before it can be ignited and driven." ”
"Since the ironclad car can't drive, why did you report to Your Majesty that you are offering the ironclad car today?" Ma Shiying was unforgiving, "Do you know that this is a crime of deception?" ”
Lin Yu looked at Ruan Dacheng, and said with an innocent face: "Xia Guan didn't say that he could drive the ironclad car into the capital today, after all, it is a behemoth weighing more than 100,000 catties, and Xia Guan was still worried about how to cross the river before meeting Commander Wei!" ”
Ma Shiying's eyes were pricked up, and he glared at Wei Guangdong angrily: "Could it be that you said it?" ”
"It's not a lowly position!" Wei Guangdong hurriedly defended, "Yes, yes...... Chen Qianhu said! ”
Ruan Dacheng reluctantly stood up and turned himself in: "Ma Ge Lao Xiu wants to be angry, it is His Majesty who Dacheng has repaid!" Xia Guan was in a hurry to transport the ironclad car across the Yangtze River, so he did not go to the military headquarters to inform him. ”
Ma Shiying snorted: "Ruan Shilang, Lord Ruan, before the matter is clear, you are making a big splash, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will punish you for the crime of bullying the king?" ”
Ruan Dacheng hurriedly admitted his mistake: "What Ma Ge Lao taught me is that he is in a hurry to be greedy for his duties!" But Lin Zongbing's dedication of the ironclad car today was reported by Chen Luyao, a thousand households under him, and if you want to say that the crime of bullying the king, it is also the crime of punishing him! ”
Seeing Ma Shiying's gloomy face, Zhu Youxiang didn't dare to offend, so he planned to use this Chen Qianhu to vent his anger for him, and shouted: "Where is this Chen Luyao?" Bring him to the Temple of Heaven to ask for his guilt! ”
