"Your Majesty, what the slave and maid said is absolutely true. The weapons used by those Song people are really very powerful. The attack of the Liaodong barbarians outside the city was very fierce at that time, and the slaves and maids were scared to death at that time. However, when the crown prince led people to the top of the city, the offensive of the Liaodong barbarians was contained, and they were repulsed twice in a row, and the situation was stabilized. ”

When it was almost early in the morning, Eunuch Xue and his eunuch son Xiao Danzi had already returned to the palace.

Because of Zhu Shangwu's message, they must tell him when they come back. So even at this time when it was almost early in the morning, he would sit in the Heart Cultivation Hall and listen to the little egg tell him about the situation at that time.

Listening to Xiao Danzi's account of the situation at that time, Zhu Shangwu's expression also became wonderful.

"What about our Ming soldiers, are they all papier-mâché?"

From Xiao Danzi's narration, Zhu Shangwu suddenly discovered a problem.

That is their own Ming army, how can the situation be in a critical situation?

Thinking of this, Zhu Shangwu's face was really hot.

Lose face!

It was only by relying on others that the situation was stabilized.

In this way, if Zhao Hongyu and the others hadn't arrived there at that time, could it be that the head of the city would have been conquered by those Liaodong barbarians?

I'll it!

If that city defense is overcome, once the city gate is opened, those wolf-like Liaodong barbarians outside the city will be able to drive straight into the capital for a long time.

Thinking of Zhu Shangwu here, the hairs on his back stood up.

Terrible!

The consequences are terrible!

"Your Majesty, the situation at that time was indeed very critical. However, it's not that the soldiers of our Ming army are useless, God knows what those Liaodong barbarians seem to be crazy, and they are not afraid of death at all as if they have to charge, which makes the situation so critical. ”

In the end, Eunuch Xue, who had followed Zhu Shangwu for so many years, guessed from his reaction about the character and thoughts of the emperor he served.

So. This will not wait for the little egg to reply, he will have the audacity to interject.

And Zhu Shangwu's mind at this moment was all lamenting the incompetence of the Ming army, so he didn't get angry at Eunuch Xue interjecting in.

"Oh, according to you, you can't blame the soldiers?"

Zhu Shangwu raised his eyebrows and looked at Eunuch Xue.

Eunuch Xue saw that Zhu Shangwu was not angry, and his courage was a little stronger.

To be honest, Eunuch Xue was also clear about the situation at that time.

It would be a lie to show that the army did not do its best, but it is also true that it is inferior to the Liaodong barbarians in terms of combat effectiveness.

But even after all, he still repelled those Liaodong barbarians, didn't he?

Although the biggest credit in this is still Zhao Hongyu and them, it would be difficult to say without them.

But the one who speaks in good conscience. The Ming defenders are still desperate.

The ghost knows that Lu Dao is not afraid of death like those Liaodong barbarians, and they actually attack like crazy, even if they pay such a big price, but they will not retreat.

This can be regarded as an eye-opener for Eunuch Xue.

Although Eunuch Xue was doing things in the palace, he rarely went outside.

However, he also learned a lot about war.

After all, life in the palace is boring, and you always have something to do to pass the time, don't you?

It is described in the war book that if a battle has more than 30% of the battle losses. Then the morale of the army will be shaken.

More than fifty percent, then the entire army will collapse.

Especially taking siege warfare as an example, the Liaodong barbarians, as the besieging party, have a great impact on psychology.

But in tonight's offensive. What the Liaodong barbarians showed was completely different from what was described in the book of war.

Their battle losses are basically more than half!

But even so, they still maintain a strong desire to fight, and continue to charge without fear of death.

It's like this kind of deadly play. It was really unimaginable for Eunuch Xue.

And in the face of such a crazy attack by the Liaodong barbarians, it is not easy for the Ming defenders to be able to do this.

So. There is no reason to criticize them.

Besides, there is not enough equipment in the army, and the military salary is still owed for several months.

It is not easy for those soldiers who defend the city to be able to work for the imperial court at such a time.

The emperor should also think about it.

It is precisely because Eunuch Xue has considered this problem that he will speak for the soldiers who are guarding the city, lest Zhu Shangwu think crookedly, and the next unreasonable will will chill the hearts of those soldiers.

Of course, a large part of the generals in the army have problems, but it is difficult to deal with them at this juncture.

If this caused their dissatisfaction and backlash, it would not be of any benefit to the guards of the Jingshi.

In today's environmental situation, whether it is a general or a soldier, it is necessary to win over the defenders of the Beijing Division.

If you have silver, you will give silver, eat and drink enough, as long as you can guard until King Qin's army comes to Beijing and forces the Liaodong barbarians to retreat, then you can think about other issues.

Eunuch Xue is still thinking about Da Ming in the end, otherwise he wouldn't have said these words.

As a eunuch, Eunuch Xue is already very good.

Although he was greedy for money, the eunuch was not greedy for money.

At least, compared to Wei Zhongxian and others in another time and space, Eunuch Xue can be regarded as a good eunuch.

"Let's not care about this matter for now, let's talk about it, do we want to buy some of the weapons that the Song people want to sell?"

Zhu Shangwu's thoughts also jumped a little, and in a blink of an eye, he gave up thinking about the disadvantages of the Ming army's war, and instead focused on buying the weapons that Zhao Hongyu recommended to him.

Zhu Shangwu's reaction made Eunuch Xue breathe a sigh of relief.

Call!

The emperor doesn't have to think about the army, and I have to worry about it.

"Your Majesty, of course you have to buy it. The weapons of the Song people are so powerful and powerful, which is very helpful for us to defend the city. Only when our soldiers have this kind of weapon, they don't have to be afraid of the Liaodong barbarians outside the city. Moreover, the slaves and maids found that the Song people's firecrackers were better than our Ming firearms, and at the same time they used a novel firecracker combat method, which was effective and powerful......"——

Dividing Line –

When Zhu Shangwu and Eunuch Xue in the palace chatted about the purchase of arms, Zhao Hongyu also returned to his place of residence with his men.

The Praetorian Guards went to the inn. Roderni and the others received the silver, and then found a place to spend time and drink, while Hattori Chizuru took four samurai and followed Zhao Hongyu and, of course, Wangfuzi.

"Your Highness, do you mean that the emperor can buy our weapons?"

After instructing people to prepare breakfast, Master Wang followed Zhao Hongyu to the study.

Hattori Chizuru and the four samurai knelt in the four corners of the room, and Wang Fuzi came to Zhao Hongyu's side in a strange way and asked in a low voice.

"Do you think our weapons are powerful?"

Zhao Hongyu is under the service of Hattori Chizuru. took off his military uniform and turned his back to Wang Fuzi.

"Of course it's amazing! My old king has never seen such a sharp weapon. ”

Master Wang told the truth.

Hattori Chizuru took Zhao Hongyu's military uniform off, walked to the side and hung it up.

Zhao Hongyu walked to the desk on the side of the study and sat down.

"Since you say it's amazing, then as long as Zhu Shangwu, a fat man, is not an idiot, then he will definitely buy it."

Zhao Hongyu said to Wang Fuzi very firmly.

Wang Fuzi thought about it, and also felt that Zhao Hongyu's words were very right.

"Let's have a bite to eat in a moment, and then take a shower and get ready. I estimate that it won't be long before there will be a decree in the palace to let us enter the palace. ”

I stayed up all night. Zhao Hongyu was also a little tired.

However, his current mental state is very excited.

"Honey, what are you going to do at night? How did you not spend the night at home. Did you go to the Qinglou that the Ming people said? “

As soon as Zhao Hongyu's words fell, a crisp voice came in from outside the study. Then a rush of footsteps sounded, and then a small figure flashed in from outside, and then came straight to Zhao Hongyu's side. Threw herself into his arms.

This person is none other than Emma, a little Indian girl.

Emma was dressed as a lady, and she also had two double sideburns on her head. It makes her look a little cute.

The little girl has a strong ability to accept new things, although she has not been in Daming for a long time, but she quickly integrated into the environment of Daming.

Moreover, she also wore the clothes of the Ming Dynasty and combed the hairstyles of the Ming girls.

For the nature of beauty, this is part of the border.

Although it shows that people feel very awkward when they look at Zhao Hongyu's outfit, Zhao Hongyu and they don't have such thoughts.

Emma, in particular, is at an age when she is curious about everything.

In addition, after Zhao Hongyu was founded in the Americas, there were many outsiders in China, and everyone's preferences and concepts of beauty were not the same.

As a result, Emma, who is still a child, has some of her aesthetics that have become different and very receptive.

At this point, children are always much better than adults.

Adults can't change it because they are used to it.

But children are different.

"Don't think about how I could go to a place like that. Tonight, I sold our Great Song weapons to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so I want to show him the power of the weapons at night, so that he can buy them with confidence. ”

Looking at Emma in his arms, Zhao Hongyu explained to her in a coaxing tone.

"Emma, dear have serious business, men are also very busy, and it is normal to be away from home one night." Sara also walked in from outside at this time.

"It's hard to say, I heard from the daughter of Zhang Yuanwai in the neighborhood that his father used to go to what is called ......," Emma tilted her head and began to think about the word, "yes, the place called the land of fireworks, she said that men like to go." ”

Zhao Hongyu's forehead slid down three black lines.

Grandma's, who is this daughter of Zhang Yuanwai?

How can you say this to Emma?

Besides, how did Emma know this so-called daughter of Zhang Yuanwai? (To be continued......)
