Chapter 243: Night Banquet Shocking Change (Part II)
Zhu Youcheng was born, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse knew in advance the essence of Yuan Chonghuan's deception and stealing his name, so he wanted to remove this guy who exchanged military and civilian grain and grass for military exploits, but when he saw that the hundred officials of the imperial court praised Yuan Chonghuan, he couldn't help but hesitate slightly. ↖ Top ↖ Story ↖ ↖,
The Emperor of the Zhu family is very famous, Hai Rui scolded Emperor Jiajing, and the emperor was afraid that killing Hai Rui would damage his reputation, so he just locked Hai Rui up; Emperor Wanli wanted to replace the crown prince, but as soon as the hundred officials wrote a book, the plan was aborted, and the Wanli Emperor was forced into the deep palace, and he never stopped the early dynasty; The Emperor of the Apocalypse repaired the Donglin Party, but did not dare to come forward in person, but used Wei Zhongxian's pig-killing knife......
The Emperor of the Apocalypse is a little strange, the Ming officialdom has always been not harmonious, why is Yuan Chonghuan's reputation so good, and all the officials protect him? In fact, he didn't know that there were few people who knew the soldiers, and finally there was a Yuan Chonghuan, so he had to keep it, otherwise the civilian system would have no confidence to speak in front of the emperor. In particular, there is a demon in the eunuch party who can cut 40,000 slaves, and the sense of crisis in the civil official system is even stronger, and even the always picky imperial historian also turns a blind eye to the loopholes in Yuan Chonghuan's seal.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse refused to give up, and said: "Zhu Youcheng, today the civil and military forces are gathered together, you can tell you about the achievements of Juehua Island, and make everyone happy." ”
Zhu Youcheng knew that the emperor wanted him to show his merits, and then took the opportunity to suppress Yuan Chonghuan, so he didn't shirk, stood up and said loudly: "In this battle of Juehua Island, Jinyiwei worked together, killed more than 40,000 Jiannu, and injured countless people. The culprit of the Jiannu rebellion - the old thief chief Nuer Ha Chi was knocked off by me, and later died of blood loss. ”
Zhu Youcheng didn't want to take He Zihong's credit for himself, but considering that He Zihong was already Jinyiwei's trump card godstick, if he said that he poisoned Nuer Haqi, it would damage the image of the godstick.
The hundred officials were amazed, and Nu'er Ha Chi killed countless Ming people. is the mortal enemy of the Ming Dynasty, if he is allowed to die of old age and sickness, it will inevitably make people sigh that he is too blessed. Now that I heard that he died so miserably, everyone secretly said in their hearts that the wicked have their own evil grinding, and you used heinous means to mutilate the people of the Ming Dynasty. It's like a demon from the Nine Shadows, but when he encountered Zhu Youcheng, a demon, he was beaten to the point of urine, and even died ridiculously.
"On top of that, we also blew up Manggultai, the fifth son of the old thief chieftain. Unfortunately, the old slave was snatched back by his guards, and his son Mang Gultai was blown to pieces, and the Jinyi guards did not get their heads. But it doesn't matter, Liaodong's fine work will soon bring back the news of the death of the old slave and his son. ”
Baiguan was amazed again, this Zhu Youcheng is really the rival of the old thief chief Nuer Haqi. Before going to Liaodong, he slaughtered one of the sons and two grandchildren of the old slave, rushed to Liaodong, and killed the old slave along with his fifth son.
"As for the generals below, there are even more, not to mention the nameless and surnameless, just one of the Mongolian Tatars. It's called Wunag, and it can bring 5,000 cavalry. I don't know what official position it is, but I was stabbed to death by a shot by my own soldiers. The principle of the Jinyi Guard is that no prisoners will be left behind. If it weren't for the morale of the people, the more than 1,000 captives would not have been brought to Beijing. ”
Vunag is unknown in history, but it is a nightmare in the hearts of the border generals. This person is strong in martial arts, brutal and easy to kill. In every battle, the heart and liver of a captive must be dug out and eaten raw. Unexpectedly, this wicked man was actually killed by Zhu Youcheng's personal soldiers.
"As for Jiannu's Jiala Ezhen and Niu Lu Ezhen, that's more, and I don't bother to ask for names. Their armor is in the hands of Jinyi Weidong Zhenfu Si, and they are now on their way to the capital. Then you will see for yourselves. ”
What, and killed a lot of Jiala Ezhen and Niu Lu Ezhen? The officials were so dazed by the good news one after another that they forgot to cheer.
In addition, after Jiannu retreated, the Jinyi guard pursued and successfully defeated all the Jiannu troops. It's a pity that my troops are insufficient, and I am worried about Jiannu's backup, so I slowly retreated. ”
Wang Yongguang knelt down and shouted: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, you have obtained a tiger general and a capable minister!" ”
Baiguan also shouted.
Wen Donglai frowned and asked, "Lord Wang, who is the tiger general referring to, and who is Nengchen referring to?" ”
"Of course, the tiger general is Zhu Youcheng, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the Neng Chen refers to Yuan Chonghuan, the commander of the Ningqian Army."
"Nonsense, Lord Zhu is a scholar of Longtu Pavilion, how did he become a military general in your mouth."
The status of Wenchen in the Ming Dynasty was higher than that of military generals, and Wen Donglai was Zhu Youcheng's teacher, so he naturally had to speak for his students.
Zhu Youcheng waved his hand indifferently and said: "Da Ming attaches equal importance to civil and military affairs, whether it is a civil servant or a military general, I don't care." For the benefit of the Ming Dynasty, let alone transform into a reckless man, even if it is an incarnation demon, I am willing. ”
As he spoke, Zhu Youcheng stared at Wang Yongguang with eyes as sharp as an eagle.
Wang Yongguang didn't dare to look at Zhu Youcheng, tilted his head, and said: "Lord Zhu has experienced hardships and dangers in Juehua Island, there must be many stories to sing and cry about, it is better to tell it to everyone, and let the officials feel the hard work of Lord Zhu." ”
Zhu Youcheng's heart turned, Wang Yongguang is clearly Yuan Chonghuan's sworn friend, just now it was all the credit of Jinyiwei, and he has no half-dime relationship with Yuan Chonghuan, he has to pull Yuan Chonghuan out and make an appearance, is he so kind to make a name for himself now? Yes, he must be trying to pick a bone in his own record. Forget it, anyway, if you don't say it, there are others who say it, instead of letting others distort the facts, it is better to say it yourself, even if you find a mistake, you can refute him on the spot.
Thinking of this, Zhu Youcheng smiled slightly and agreed. Wang Yongguang felt that Zhu Youcheng's smile was so hateful, and he was ruthless in his heart, if he found him later, he would definitely repair him ruthlessly, it was impossible to kill him, but it was okay to be disgusting and disgusting.
Zhu Youcheng talked about the battle of Juehua Island vividly, of course, the rifling rear loading firearm still used the Spring and Autumn brushwork, only said the advanced firecracker, and the rifling and rear loading words were not mentioned at all. You must know that the words rifling and afterloading are the crystallization of hundreds of years of human science and technology, and leaking them out doesn't save people the process of research?
Zhu Youcheng's storytelling skills have been instructed by Liu Jingting, a famous storytelling performance artist in the Ming Dynasty, and this battle is his personal experience, and he has been told repeatedly, and he has long been familiar with it, so it is said that the dragon and the tiger are jumping, not to mention the hundred officials, even the Emperor of the Apocalypse and Wei Zhongxian, who have already heard it once, are also fascinated.
The low-level officials outside the hall also heard it, but it was not Zhu Youcheng's voice, but the relay of the Han general. The Han generals were not trained, they just conveyed the recital in the hall to the officials outside, although the voice was loud, but there was no emotion. Rao is like this, and the officials outside the hall are also bloody.
Zhu Youcheng's story was finished, but the officials were still immersed in it, some with tears in their eyes, some with excited hands shaking, and some with their mouths wide open......
Wang Yongguang is not among them, he is faulty, he is seriously looking for Zhu Youcheng's omissions, and he has not listened to the story at all.
As soon as Zhu Youcheng's words fell, he stood up and said: "Just now I noticed that the advanced firearm you mentioned has a range of 300 meters. ”
Zhu Youcheng glanced at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, meaning, now is the time for you to come forward.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "The advanced firearm of the Jinyi Guard is the biggest military secret of the Ming Dynasty and cannot be divulged. Originally, I also wanted to equip the whole army, but the cost of the firecrackers was too high, and each firecracker cost a hundred silver coins, and if the army could afford the silver, I would have asked the Jinyiwei to transfer a batch of firecrackers to you. ”
Wang Yongguang did not suspect that the Emperor of the Apocalypse had lied to him, since ancient times, the more advanced the weapon, the more expensive it is. For example, the Song Dynasty's divine arm bow had a long range and a high cost. Except for the dynasties that were as wealthy as the Song Dynasty, which had the opportunity to be installed, the other dynasties were powerless, and by now, the method of making the divine arm bow has simply been lost. However, weapons have never been the factor that determines the rise and fall, and the Southern Song Dynasty, which was equipped with a divine arm bow, was destroyed by the Yuan Dynasty, which was equipped with a horse bow.
Wang Yongguang shook his head again and again, and said with a wry smile: "The military department can't even pay the military salaries of the border army, where can I have spare money to buy firearms." ”
Wang Yongguang retreated, and another minister stood up and said: "Lord Zhu is extremely brave and admirable, but there is a question below, since Jinyiwei can defeat Jiannu, why do you force the soldiers and civilians to evacuate Juehua Island?" And before evacuating, why did you remove all the 250,000 stone grain and grass on the island? You must know that the military department took great efforts to transport 250,000 stone of grain to Juehua Island, isn't this a waste of money for the people? (To be continued......)
