Chapter 452: Rise and Fall
Early the next morning, Xiao Mu got up and freshened up and changed clothes under Wang Chengen's service. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Your Majesty, ......Your Majesty," Wang Chengen said.
It's just that before he could speak, he was interrupted by Xiao Mu, "No need to be reminded, I haven't forgotten." After a while, after breakfast, you go and summon the king to Jin. ”
Xiao Mu is very confident in his "genius plan" and has always been in a state of eagerness to try, so after a night's sleep, he did not forget the fact that he was worried that he would forget and asked Wang Chengen to remind himself - all in all, just like a primary school student who is going to have a sports day at school the next day, he does not need to be reminded by his parents the next morning, and they will not forget this "big event".
"The slave obeys." Wang Chengen naturally couldn't be dissatisfied because he always remembered that he didn't need to be reminded of the emperor's things in the end, but respectfully accepted Xiao Mu's new order.
Soon Xiao Mu finished dressing up, and then soon after he finished breakfast, he saw the king of the Ming Dynasty's military department.
So Xiao Mu repeated to Wang Zaijin the "genius plan" he described in front of Lin Yi yesterday.
Obviously, Wang Zaijin, as the secretary of the Ming Dynasty's military department, naturally understands military issues more thoroughly than Lin Yi, but he also has no way to persuade Xiao Mu to dispel this unrealistic idea - because persuading Xiao Mu to dispel this idea requires no understanding of military affairs at all, after all, even a person like Lin Yi, who has little understanding of military affairs, can see that Xiao Mu's plan is not feasible, and Wang Zaijin can naturally understand.
Wang Zaijin naturally tried to persuade him, but in the end he undoubtedly failed - after all, he has always pursued Xiao Mu's erroneous views, and Lin Yi, who does not need Xiao Mu's honorable status as the emperor, was not able to succeed yesterday, not to mention that as a courtier, he needs to save face for the emperor everywhere, and he can't let the emperor be ugly Wang Zaijin.
Therefore, out of a similar idea to Lin Yi's last night's "not seeking merit but seeking no fault", Wang Zaijin found that although the emperor's plan could not be effective, at least it would not bring any bad consequences to the Ming side, and it would have no negative impact on consolidating the city defense of Jingying - of course, there was nothing positive.
After all, there are a large number of gunpowder reserves in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, even if all the Hongyi cannons in the city are blown up, they may not be able to be used up, so the emperor's plan for Wang Zaijin to implement or not to implement it will not produce any obvious difference from the perspective of war, but from other perspectives, for example, from the perspective of whether or not the emperor can be happy, Wang Zaijin naturally hopes that he can make the emperor happy.
Since there will be no negative effects, and the emperor is so full of expectations, Wang Zaijin euphemistically said at the beginning that "the possibility of the emperor's plan is not high", and after trying to persuade him, he gave up resistance and agreed to Xiao Mu's "genius plan" - after all, this is the emperor is very enthusiastic about this matter, just from the perspective of respect for the king, Wang Zaijin cannot refuse the emperor's request for such an attempt that although there is no positive effect, there is also no negative effect.
All in all, in this time and space of the current Ming Dynasty, except for Lin Yi, what Xiao Mu said in front of anyone was a golden mouth, a holy decree, unless this will aroused the excitement of the crowd, otherwise the people below had almost no other choice but to obey.
Seeing that his plan was not only Lin Yi, but also recognized by a "military expert" like Shangshu of the Ming Dynasty, Xiao Mu's confidence was undoubtedly more abundant, and he had even imagined in his mind that Huang Taiji's Chinese military tent was buried under the gunpowder he had prepared in advance, and with the ignition of the gunpowder fuse, Huang Taiji's Chinese military tent was overturned and entered the countdown scene.
Of course, at this time, Xiao Mu did not have a clear understanding of the reality that Lin Yi and Wang Zaijin's so-called "recognition" was just to let him mess around with the fact that although there was no benefit, there would be no harm.
So Xiao Mu, who was full of confidence, was ready to take Wang Zaijin directly out of the palace and even out of the city for a "field trip", and although Wang Chengen was worried about the safety of the emperor leaving the palace and the city, after all, it was a major military matter, and he did not dare to express any dissuasive objections, so he could only try his best to arrange reliable manpower to protect the emperor's safety - so Hu Yun, who was disappointed because he did not get the "mysterious errand" arranged by Luo Yangxing, and later was proud to be able to protect the emperor, and his old partner Yang Tao has another chance to protect the emperor.
Since it was decided by Xiao Mu, the emperor, and there was no participation of Lin Yi, the whole thing progressed very quickly, and only an hour later, Xiao Mu and Wang Zaijin had already left the capital and started his "field investigation" work.
It's just that before the "field trip", Xiao Mu saw some scenes that he couldn't ignore - that is, a large number of fleeing people flocked to the capital - after all, the capital is the strongest city in the Ming Dynasty, and in the eyes of those who are hiding from the war, there is no doubt that the capital is impossible to be breached, so being able to hide in the capital is naturally a major goal for them.
It's just that it is not easy to go to the capital to escape the war, although there are also rich families who enter the city in carriages surrounded by servants, but more are ragged refugees, and even the corpses of dead refugees can be seen on the roadside outside the city.
"Xing, the people are bitter. Death, the people suffer. Looking at the scene in front of him, Xiao Mu subconsciously read out the song "Tong Caring for the Ancients", "The people are innocent, the war is together, I don't know how many people want their wives to be separated, and how many people want to die." ”
"The emperor is like the benevolence of the sky, which is really the blessing of my Ming." Wang Zaijin saw that Xiao Mu was depressed, and hurriedly said with relief, "The emperor is benevolent, and he will definitely be able to prosper the Ming Dynasty in the future." ”
Even Xiao Mu could hear that Wang Zaijin's words were just routine relief and welcome, so he didn't get any relief in his mood, but just said lightly, "Let's keep going." ”
Soon Xiao Mu added, "When you go back, you can recruit some fleeing people who have no food to eat, give them a steamed bun or a bowl of rice every day, and let them dig pits and fill in the soil together in places where they don't need to really bury gunpowder." ”
In this way, Xiao Mu's "earthworks" of digging pits and filling in the soil without any practical significance added a practical significance, that is, at least to give those refugees who could not eat a chance to exchange their labor for food.
