With a bang, Emperor Chongzhen slapped the fold on the dragon case, his pale face revealed a trace of blood, and his thin chest rose and fell. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen stood silently, they never dared to make a sound at this time, and the needles in the room could be heard.

Only Chongzhen's heavy breathing echoed in the room, which showed the depression of the indoor atmosphere even more.

Chongzhen eased his nerves, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, the reason why he was so out of shape was also understandable.

After all, Denglai and Shandong have been a farce in the past half a month, Zhao Lie ignored the obstruction of the governor of Denglai and the Denglai town guard to send troops to Qingzhou, and fought with Liu Zeqing, just for a cheap brother like a lady.

It is not the first time that Zhao Lie has disobeyed the order and sent troops on his own, but in the past, he was to Jiannu and Yiren, and from his heart it was excusable, of course, he would not admit it.

If it weren't for Zhao Lie not waiting for the order of the imperial army to send troops first, Lushun would not be guaranteed, so that the Ming Dynasty would have completely lost Liaodong, although Lushun was only a small city, but it represented that the Ming Dynasty was still standing on the boundary of Liaodong.

And the hateful Xiyi people attacked the southeast coast for more than ten years, poor Ming trapped in the north and had no time to go south, and could only hold on to the Xiyi people in the southeast, and this time there were several Xiyi people and Zheng Chenggong in one place to attack the south of the Ming Dynasty, if it was not for Zhao Lie's defeat, it is conceivable that it will plague the southeast, that is the land of wealth of the Ming Dynasty today, if it is unstable, everything is resting.

And then there was the previous Eastern Expedition to the Wa Kingdom, which defeated and surrendered the two hundred years of scourge to the Wa State in one fell swoop, that is, their so-called generals of the expedition all presented the surrender letter, to be honest, this thing was also done beautifully, and he Chongzhen also held the surrender book secretly proud.

The result of these three unauthorized troops Zhao Lie of course suffered heavy losses, but it was too important to Daming, which made Chongzhen puzzled, what kind of person is this Zhao Lie, Dazhong seems to be treacherous.

In short, Chongzhen is still extremely jealous of Zhao Lie, but the three times are extremely beneficial to the imperial court, Chongzhen can only endure it, and he can't get cheap and dispose of Zhao Lie, wouldn't it make the world chill.

This time, Zhao Lie's unauthorized dispatch to Qingzhou is completely different from the previous times, this is for his own small profits, there is no supreme official law and discipline, and he did not put him in his eyes at all, after all, Zhang Guoyuan is the town guard he sent to Denglai, and if he doesn't give Zhang Guoyuan face, he doesn't give him face as the son of heaven.

What's even more odious is that Zhao Lie just refused the imperial court's order to march to Henan, turned around and sent troops to Qingzhou City, and Fang Zhenghua had not yet stepped out of the Shandong border at that time, what was this doing.

This time, Zhao Lie's actions made Chongzhen furious, and this matter was absolutely unbearable.

"Let the military department and Denglai stop all the food and salary of Zhao Lie's department, and not a single grain of rice can be sent to Zhao Lie in the future."

Chongzhen slapped the table again, and Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen's bodies trembled.

"Cao Huachun," Chongzhen's eyes looked at the chubby eunuch Bingbi like a knife, and Cao Huachun hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed.

"Where did the Zhao Lie's silver money come from that I asked you to investigate, how is this errand going?"

Today's Cao Huachun is the chief eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, that is to say, the excerpts submitted by the cabinet to the emperor for approval must first pass his eyes, Cao Huachun submitted to the emperor according to the priority of the matter, and the excerpt that made Chongzhen angry was also brought into the Qianqing Palace.

In addition, he is also the commander of Dongchang, and he is also responsible for the military affairs of the Beijing camp, which can be regarded as the right-hand man of the Son of Heaven, but in this year it also means that it is difficult to move forward, and many things are really more than enough to handle.

"Long live Bing, Zhao Lie's department is very well defended, and now Dongchang has only discovered the source of some of his Zhao family's money and grain."

Cao Huachun didn't dare to raise his head.

"It's a bunch of rubbish, too." Chongzhen scolded, Cao Huachun didn't know who the Son of Heaven was scolding, it was him Dongchang or...

"Tell me, where the Zhao family's money and grain came from." Chongzhen pointed to Cao Huachun.

"On the Ming Dynasty, part of the Zhao family's money and grain is from the merchants of Denglai, Shidao and other places, as well as cement and other items, as well as smuggled salt goods."

"Hahaha, a good Zhao Lie, smuggled salt goods under the nose of the imperial court, let the official salt be on the top, and his Zhao family seized the real profits below, hum, no wonder there are nearly 10,000 elite soldiers trained with these money and grain."

Chongzhen spit out the words with difficulty,

"It turned out to be a moth lying on Da Ming's body to suck blood. Cao Huachun, these will be handed over to Dongchang, and Zhao Lie must be allowed to cut off these inputs. ”

"The minion takes orders." Cao Huachun took the order on the ground.

"As for what is said in this excerpt, I have also approved it, and I will immediately plan to remove Liu Zeqing from the post of chief soldier and go home to be investigated, and the province will be embarrassed in office."

Chongzhen also pointed to the excerpt submitted by the cabinet to dispose of the Denglai General Soldier and the Shandong General Soldier, and Chongzhen was angry when he mentioned this excerpt.

Here are all to deal with Shandong governor Yan Jizu, Shandong general soldier Liu Zeqing, Denglai governor Chen Yingyuan, Yan Jizu demoted to stay in office, Chen Yingyuan was demoted to stay in office, Liu Zeqing went to work and returned home to be investigated, as for Denglai town guard Zhang Guoyuan is a person in the emperor's palace, they have no authority to propose how to punish.

And the culprit Zhao Lie is also demoted to stay in office, acting as the chief soldier of Denglai, because everyone knows that even if Zhao Lie is removed from his official position, Zhao Lie will not receive the order, can it be impossible to send a large army to fight, so where is the hundreds of thousands of troops.

Therefore, it is a painless punishment to deal with the situation, and the province has lost face for himself and the Son of Heaven.

"This, the disposal of Liu Zeqing proposed by the elders of this cabinet is subject to discussion."

Cao Huachun raised his head and said.

"Well, what kind of face does a defeated general have to sit in that position."

Chongzhen's face was full of displeasure, Cao Huachun's intercession for this incompetent Liu Zeqing was something Chongzhen didn't expect, in his opinion, a thing that could bend his knees and bow down to the generals of the same level to apologize was left for him to do, it was too undignified.

"Long live Bing, Zhao Lie let this person kneel in public to apologize, what a humiliation this is, this Liu Zeqing must hate Zhao Lie to the core, and he will always stare at Zhao Lie's shortcomings, and try his best to kill with one blow, this person keeps Zhao Lie who is just in control of Denglai."

Chongzhen heard it thoughtfully, well, yes, according to common sense, this Liu Zeqing must be extremely resentful of Zhao Lie, and he will secretly look for Zhao Lie's shortcomings, and then find an opportunity to kill him with one blow.

Chongzhen couldn't help but nodded, Cao Huachun, who had been peeking at Chongzhen's face, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said in his heart I, Cao Huachun, am worthy of the 50,000 taels of silver offered by you Liu Zeqing, and the next thing is your bastard.

Chongzhen thinks about common sense, but this bit of hatred is really not a big deal for a person who is full of profit, which also makes Chongzhen's arrangement completely frustrated.

Huang Taiji, Haoge, Azig, Dolgon and others came to the test site in Shengjingnan with a group of internal guards.

This time, Huang Taiji didn't come to test the artillery, and a big battle in Lushun had already made him understand that the great general cannon that had been cast against the giant cannon of the Shangqiao army was the end of a regimental annihilation.

And these cannons are more than enough to attack other Ming armies, and it is far from catching up with the cannons of the broken army, because a large number of fine iron cannot be made at all, so the leaders of the entire artisan battalion have been whipped, but they just can't make it.

And the fine work that touched the Shidao smelter was captured by the broken army in large numbers, so Huang Taiji no longer had much hope for the giant cannon.

This time, a group of Qing royal families came here to inspect the flint flint, and the craftsman camp finally made the flint flint.

Bang bang bang, the soldiers of the Han White Banner more than 100 paces away activated their firearms one after another, and the targets sixty or seventy paces away were hit one after another and kept shaking.

Huang Taiji watched with a smile, the horsewhip in his hand was swinging very casually, and he was in a very comfortable mood.

"Meet the emperor, this is the newly made fire gun in the craftsman's house." Tong's younger brother Tong Sixty handed a pair of swarthy firearms with both hands.

Huang Taiji grabbed the fire gun, which weighed about the same as the old-fashioned fire gun of the fire rope, except that there was no longer a fire door inserted into the fire rope behind the right side.

And pull the trigger to pull a curved piece of iron to hit a new type of fire door, allowing the sparks to ignite the black powder.

It's just such an iron piece, it took several years to build a slave craftsman camp, and there are not many qualified fine iron pieces produced now, but it is enough to make these flintlock firearms, and the casting cannons are far from enough.

"Your Majesty, this fire gun can fire as usual even in the weather of light wind and rain, but it is a little unbearable when it is windy and rainy." Tong Sixty waists are almost ninety degrees, he said with a flattering smile.

"Don't say something nice to deceive me, tell me what's wrong with this firecracker." Huang Taiji looked at Tong Sixty coldly.

Tong Sixty's body trembled, well, King Khan is really not easy to fool, after his brother Tong Yangxing died, he is now taking over Tong Yangxing's position to be in charge of the craftsman camp, and he has done his best to complete the emperor's TOEFL as soon as possible, and the emperor's high requirements are not easy to deal with.

"It's nearly forty percent dumb fire when firing." Tong replied with a trembling voice, and he peeked at Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji frowned, this is a bit of a chicken rib, it's useful, but it can't be used, it's such a nasty feeling.

But it still has to be built, because this kind of firearm is used in stormy days, so it will not become a burning stick, and the opponent Zhao Lie's command has prepared this kind of firearm in large numbers, and the Han army flag is not equipped with it.

"Then build two thousand poles first, let the Han Eight Banners try it out, and train the military formation to see the power of this firecracker."

Huang Taiji finally decided to equip some first, let the Han army flag be used to see the advantages and disadvantages, and then make a decision.

"Servants obey the holy decree." Tong Sixty hurriedly knocked on the leader's order, he was simply full of inner cows, and finally passed the test, as for the dumb fire, this is a matter of the battle array, the dead Dao friend is not the poor Dao, anyway, he passed the test.

Just then a convoy of horses rushed towards him, with the banner of Zilharang on it.

Huang Taiji's heart moved, well, is there something going on in Mingguo.

"Your Majesty, a great event, a great event." Zilharang dismounted and walked briskly to the front, and he had rarely been so cautious.

"Denglai Zhao Lie dispatched a large army to fight Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, and there was chaos in the Ming Kingdom."

As soon as these words came out, the corners of Huang Taiji's mouth hooked, Zhao Lie, you are really a little arrogant, and you are blatantly fighting with the Ming army, this is simply the biggest challenge to the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty, he is now also the lord of a country, and he also hates such a capable but non-stop commanding general, he can imagine the anger of the great tomorrow, and he thinks that the Ming Dynasty has entered an eventful season again.

Of course, the more chaos in the Ming Dynasty, the more beneficial it will be for him, "Zierharang, you have to inquire more about the conflict between the Great Tomorrow and Zhao Lie, and report it at any time." ”

After listening to everything that had happened, Huang Taiji commanded with a happy face, and Zierharang bowed down to receive the order. (To be continued.) )
