Chapter 503: Zhengde Reduces Power

The grievances of the people of Bazhou City are deep, like a powder keg at high temperatures, about to be on the verge of exploding.

A woman named Tang Zihe walked over, with a charming smile on her face, but she held a torch in her hand, and with a light throw of her slender hand, the powder keg was lit by her own hands.

The wind stopped, the mountain rain came, and the sky was full of lightning and thunder.

This world is not only the court, and similarly, this world is not only a man's.

Zhang Mao's movements are very fast, and quite a businessman's work ethic, the corpse of the sworn brother is not cold, he can't even take care of the bones, when even if he left the Longquan Temple to rush to the lair in the mountains, he gathered more than 2,000 bandits at the fastest speed, and Tang Zihe's 3,000 men and horses joined forces that night, and more than 5,000 people took advantage of the dark night to quietly drive towards Bazhou City.

The rebellion of Beizhili began in Bazhou.

*****************************************************************

Boom Boom!

The earth-shattering sound of artillery sent up the smoke of gunpowder in the sky.

In the martial arts field in the western suburbs of the Beijing Division, more than 20 newly made Franco machine guns of the Zuo Bureau opened fire at the same time, and the artillery fire was ruthlessly poured into the distance, almost instantly, a small hill a mile away was bombed into the ground, and when the thick gunpowder smoke dissipated, the hill seemed to be cut off with a sharp knife, leaving only a depression.

"Ahem, ahem...... Good cannon! Zhu Houzhao got out of the trench that had been dug up, shook off the colorless Gu Da and tugged at his sleeve with his hand. Da Lu smiled: "What a powerful cannon!" Qin Kan, is this a new tactic you have figured out? ”

Zhu Houzhao coughed and laughed, a puff of black smoke came out of his mouth from time to time, his face was blackened, and only two rows of white teeth were exposed, as if he had just survived the thunderstorm, his expression was very embarrassed, but he smiled happily.

Qin Kan was wearing a silver armor, and Yushu Linfeng stood behind Zhu Houzhao, smarter than Zhu Houzhao. Qin Kan covered his face with a face towel. Wait until the smoke clears before taking off the face towel.

Well, he still has red lips and white teeth, and with a silver armor, he is more and more handsome. It has the strength of "full of red sleeves". Set off Zhu Houzhao like a green leaf that can't be greener anymore.

The smoke cleared. Qin Kan smiled at this time: "Your Majesty, this is a tactic that the minister has pondered in recent days, and the victory or defeat of the war depends not only on the tact of the main general and the bravery of the soldiers. More important is the national strength of both sides of the enemy, the main enemy of my Ming Dynasty comes from the north of Warat and Tatar, they live in the grassland desert plains, good at cavalry charge, the front of the soldiers, invincible, so my Ming since Yongle after the north of the war, often defeated more than victorious, in addition to the military system and physical reasons, more importantly, there is no way to deal with the enemy, the enemy with cavalry attack, we take infantry defense, the enemy and I have such a huge disparity, how can we not be defeated? ”

“…… Enemy elders, cavalry, my Ming elders, firearms. For example, if hundreds of Francophone cannons are lined up in the plain area, and the enemy is bombarded indiscriminately by concentrating firepower, even if the enemy charges our army with 10,000 horsemen, under the bombardment of these hundreds of guns, it is believed that there are absolutely not many people who can escape from the fire blockade, with this blockade line, our army is already in an invincible position. Shoot in batches of three or four sections behind the artillery, and we have nothing to fear even if the enemy rushes a hundred paces in front of us......"

Zhu Houzhao listened to it, his eyebrows fluttered, his face was bright, and he nodded again and again: "Okay!" Qin Kan, I didn't expect that you, a weak scholar, would be proficient in martial arts, if your method is feasible, I will make a decree to order the craftsmen of the Creation Bureau to improve the bird gun......"

"Your Majesty is wise, the minister suggested that I can try this new method of warfare in Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty, pull the team out of the city to take the initiative to find fighters, and conduct a small to medium-scale encounter, using large-scale artillery combined with four-stage bird guns to shoot in batches, and the infantry will form a formation to defend at the rear, and the cavalry will attack from the flanks in a roundabout way, and at the same time continue to sum up experience and adjust tactics at any time, I believe that from now on, the defeat rate of my Daming border town will be greatly reduced."

Zhu Houzhao smiled excitedly: "Okay." I will order the Liaodong Metropolitan Division to try it out according to this tactic, and if the results are remarkable, I will personally drive the expedition next year, personally eradicate the Warat Tatars, and revive the majesty of my Yongle Emperor! ”

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was a little carried away, Qin Kan couldn't help but remind: "Your Majesty, although the method is good, whether it is a large-scale artillery cluster or a bird's gun segmented shooting, they all have a shortcoming that cannot be ignored......"

"What are the drawbacks?"

Qin Kan smiled bitterly: "They all burn money, gunpowder, cannonballs, fine iron...... These are all bought for money, so the minister just said that war depends not only on cunning and bravery, but more importantly, on the strength of a country......"

Zhu Houzhao paused for a moment, then turned his head to find Ma Yongcheng, the head of the inner library, who knew that Ma Yongcheng was not accompanied by Ma Yongcheng in the western suburbs today, only Gu Dayong often followed the holy car.

"Dayong, do you know how much silver is left in the inner treasury of the Dao Dao?"

Gu Dayong was entangled for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, the old slave is not the head of the inner treasury, and I don't know about this matter, but I heard that the mining tax of the five provinces has entered Beijing this year, and it is estimated that there are more than one million taels." ”

Zhu Houzhao had no concept of money at all, and he was overjoyed when he heard this, and patted his chest heroically as if he was paying for it at the restaurant: "Very good, first fight a battle of one million taels of silver, I have it!" ”

Qin Kan didn't give him a chance to be a local tyrant, and a basin of cold water was ruthlessly poured down: "Your Majesty, the minister will tell you so, if all the one million taels of silver are taken back to the minister's house, it is estimated that the minister's wife can give me a smile, if I take it to fight a big battle, this ...... It's not enough. ”

This basin of cold water immediately extinguished all Zhu Houzhao's enthusiasm, and the young emperor's smiling face froze.

After a long time, Zhu Houzhao sighed faintly: "Qin Kan, ......"

"The minister is here."

"Take home a million taels, and your wife will only give a smile,...... Is your mythical beast named Pixiu? ”

…………

…………

Qin Kan's meaning is obvious, only those who have money are qualified to fight. If you don't have money, you will be beaten honestly with your hands on your head.

Whoever is rich and who is the uncle, the truth is universal and universal, it is natural for the landlord to bully the tenant, and it is unheard of for the tenant to bully the landlord, Zhu Houzhao can beat and scold Liu Jin, on the other hand, you let Liu Jin ride on Zhu Houzhao's neck to and pee?

Strictly speaking, Zhu Houzhao was not a poor emperor, and the annual treasury income in the first year of Zhengde was nearly four million taels, not including various tax-deductible goods such as grain, cloth, silk, and porcelain, but the income was high and the expenses were also large. Not to mention fixed expenses such as military salaries and salaries. Only the current expenses of the Ming Dynasty vassal kings are so large that a very terrifying number, although the old Zhu family is not prosperous in this vein of the emperor, but the reproductive ability of the side branches is still very worthy of affirmation, and the vassal kings of this era are like pigs in captivity in their respective fiefdoms and are not allowed to take a step. Boring Ryrie. The way feudal lords spent their time varied depending on their personalities. Some like to play exciting and heartbeat, so they rebel like King Anhua, and some are timid. If you can't play the excitement, you can only play with beautiful women, so the second and third generations of the king were born one after another, and the court had to give them a name, and they had to be treated when they were given a name......

There are many reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty in history, such as the power castration of the country, the party's struggle for the country, the erosion of the military system, and natural and man-made disasters...... If the Ming Emperor at that time was wise and martial, he implemented the policy of planning and planning fertility among the vassal kings, and stipulated that the vassal king would have more than one child and the whole family would be ligated, and the Ming Dynasty would be able to last for a hundred more years.

No money is a hard injury, this hard injury makes Zhu Houzhao quite short of breath, but Zhu Houzhao is a young man, and after being depressed for a long time, he regained his spirit.

"If I don't have money, I will save money for two years, save for three years, save enough 10 million taels of silver, and then gather heavy troops to fight a tough battle with the Tartars in the north, and push our border from the Great Wall to the north for a hundred miles, thousands of miles, I am still young, why can't I wait for this day?"

When Zhu Houzhao said this, his face was full of energy, and he really had a bit of imperial momentum that looked at the world.

Qin Kan and Gu Dayong bowed down and congratulated: "My emperor is a martial artist, and Sheji is lucky." ”

Zhu Houzhao smiled, grabbed Qin Kan's sleeve and said, "Come, let's have another ......"

Qin Kan was dragged by Zhu Houzhao and staggered a few steps, Zhu Houzhao suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Gu Dayong, and said as if inadvertently: "Dayong, I suddenly remembered one thing, according to the system, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies and the palm seal of the eunuch cannot also lead the factory guard, Liu Jin is the master of ceremonies and the palm of the seal, and then I am afraid that it is not appropriate to lead the West Factory, after the rebellion of the King of Anhua is settled, I will hand it over to you to lead." ”

Not only Gu Dayong, but even Qin Kan was stunned.

This...... What is the signal?

Qin Kan paused for breathing, and immediately realized that Liu Jin was getting closer and closer to destruction, whether it was whether Zhu Houzhao was wary of Liu Jin, or whether he felt that the authority of the celebrant should not be too great, this was an excellent signal.

Seeing that Gu Dayong was still staring at Zhu Houzhao stupidly, Qin Kan stabbed Gu Dayong and said in a low voice: "Father-in-law Gu, what are you still doing?" Hurry up and thank you! ”

Gu Da was full of excitement, and immediately knelt down towards Zhu Houzhao with a plop, and kowtowed gratefully with tears in his eyes.

"Old slave...... Old slave Xie Majesty Longen! The old slave was determined to die for His Majesty, in order to repay the emperor's grace. ”

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand casually and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you are also an old man from the East Palace, I have never given you any real errands since I ascended the throne, this time you will lead the West Factory and assist me in healing this country......

After a pause, Zhu Houzhao glanced at Qin Kan, and suddenly remembered that Qin Kan and Liu Jin had always been at odds, causing him, who was the emperor, to be caught in the middle of a dilemma.

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Houzhao simply sold his personal favor and went out: "It's useful, if you want to thank me, don't thank me, you should thank Qin Kan, if he hadn't pushed you hard in front of me, I really didn't think of you for a while, you, after you go back, find the most expensive restaurant in Jingshi City, and invite Qin Kan to eat and drink openly." ”

Gu Da used where to know the twists and turns in Zhu Houzhao's heart, and when he heard this, he immediately took it seriously, and when he turned his head to look at Qin Kan, his eyes were full of gratitude, and he didn't lie at all.

It's really bitter and useful.

After the failure of the internal and external courts to jointly eliminate the Eight Tigers, a large number of people were defeated outside the palace, and many vacancies in real power were vacant, and these vacancies naturally fell on the heads of the Eight Tigers, but in this battle for the distribution of the power cake, Gu Dayong was undoubtedly the loser, Liu Jin, Zhang Yong, Ma Yongcheng These people rushed forward to snatch the cake, and there was not even a little soup left for Gu Dayong after the most Lu, and Gu Dayong was still just an internal servant after the most Lu.

Today, Gu Dayong finally saw the moon when the clouds opened, and immediately didn't care about what Zhu Houzhao's intention was to suddenly cut Liu Jin's power, got up and grabbed Qin Kan with both hands, and said gratefully: "Master Hou is really a kind person!" ”

Qin Kan was originally embarrassed by the favor sent by Zhu Houzhao without a head and no brain, and saw that Gu Da praised him for being a kind person, Qin Hou Ye was quite self-aware, and knew that the word "kindness" had nothing to do with his own money, so the suspicious Qin Hou Ye immediately stared at Gu Dayong with an unkind expression, carefully observed his expression, and wondered if Gu Dayong was sarcastic about him, and after observing for a long time, he finally found that Gu Dayong's expression was very sincere, so Qin Kan reluctantly accepted the glorious title of "Kindness" for his embarrassment, and also eliminated the bad thoughts of wanting to kill Gu Dayong.

"Congratulations to Father-in-law Gu for his ascension, Ben Hou is here to congratulate Gonggong first."

Gu Da hurriedly said in a loud voice: "All thanks to His Majesty's Longen, and even more to Hou Ye's recommendation, the miscellaneous family will recognize Hou Ye as a brother in life and death in the future." ”

Qin Kan smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Father-in-law will lead the West Factory in the future, will he be happy?" ”

"Happy!"

"Happy or not?"

"Happy!"

"The knife that entered the palace back then was worth it, right?"

"It's worth it!"

Qin Kan smiled, smiling happier than Gu Dayong.

I don't know how Liu Jin will react.

To be sure, the celebrant would never send a congratulatory message......

Master of Ceremonies.

Liu Jin didn't know that Zhu Houzhao had cut his power, and at this moment he was sitting on the embroidery stool, but what was placed in front of the desk was something that was enough to scare him out of half of his old life.

A text from Ganshan.

The flames of Zhu Ningyao's rebellion have burned all over the three sides of Gansu and Shaanxi, of course, in the name of justice, the text of the crusade against the imperial court has also spread all over the three sides, Liu Jin wants to get this document is not difficult, Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong out of Beijing less than five days, Shanxi Henan Weisu army has not yet been fully assembled, Xichang Fanzi got this document, 100,000 rushed into the Beijing Division of ceremonial supervisors.

In the text, the reasons for Zhu Ningxiao's rebellion naturally stand at the height of justice, but what shocked Liu Jin was that every reason in the text was related to him.

To put it simply, the central idea of this essay is "the side of the Qing Jun", and Liu Jin is very honored to be included in the list of "Qing" first, and it is super first.

According to what was said in the text, Zhu Ningyao, the king of Anhua, was simply forced to rebel by his Liu Jin's perverse behavior.
