In the school field on the west side of the Jingshi, about 5,000 Ming troops gathered here.

This Ming army has bright armor and is obviously different from other Ming army teams in the Beijing Division. And their momentum is also different, with such a sense of arrogance.

This 5,000-strong Ming army is the Son of Heaven's own army, which belongs to one of the 24 battalions.

Now, Zhu Shangwu has taken out this army in order to solve the current crisis.

Because he received a loan of five million taels of silver from Zhao Hongyu, the imperial court is now rich.

Therefore, the officials of the six departments began to gather the common people to serve as soldiers in the capital in a short time, and gave cash to those who corresponded on the spot.

Under the effect of the white flowers, those bankrupt people who have become homeless, there are still many people who are willing to work for the sake of the silver.

Therefore, in a short period of time, the imperial court formed an army of more than 50,000 people.

But the problem is that the combat effectiveness of this army is simply scum.

Because they were not trained, and because they were farmers who were digging in the soil before they joined the army, they could not have been considered qualified soldiers at all.

If these people were to go out of the city to fight the Houjin army, it would be no different from sending them to their deaths.

In this way, Zhu Shangwu had to come up with the only army he could control.

At the same time, because of the experiment with the power of grenades, Zhu Shangwu bought a large number from Zhao Hongyu's hand.

With a powerful weapon like a grenade, Zhu Shangwu's confidence has also become full.

And, at Zhao Hongyu's suggestion, he was going to let the Five Thousand Heavenly Sons (Jinyiwei) come to train them in the use of grenades.

Yes, these 5,000 people are the 'Jinyiwei', the secret army of the Ming Dynasty directly controlled by Zhu Shangwu.

Originally, these people were in charge of surveillance and detection, but now Zhu Shangwu can't take care of it much.

"Cast!"

5,000 brocade guards. According to the instruction of the instructor sent by Zhao Hongyu, he unscrewed the lid of the grenade, and then pulled the fuse and threw the grenade out of the box with the greatest force.

Boom Boom!

The strength of these guys has to be said to be very great, they can say that the grenade is thrown far away.

When the grenade exploded, they were all blown away by the sheer power of the grenade.

Seriously, they've never seen such a powerful weapon.

Of course, the redcoat cannon is also so powerful.

But the problem is that the size of the redcoat cannon is huge, and it is not so convenient to carry and move.

Grenades are different. Because of its small size, grenades are very easy to carry.

Basically, these brocade guards can carry ten grenades for throwing by themselves.

Zhao Hongyu actually wanted to sell some muskets to Zhu Shangwu, but Zhu Shangwu didn't have much interest.

This was a bit of a disappointment for Zhao Hongyu.

But in any case, the path and price of the grenade made Zhao Hongyu make a lot of money by then.

Originally, it was a thing to be destroyed in the Virtual World Realm, so Zhao Hongyu was very cheap when he bought it.

The price of this old-fashioned wooden-handled grenade is a six-yuan soft sister coin in the virtual world realm, which is simply as cheap as death.

And the price at which Zhao Hongyu sold it to Zhu Shangwu. and one piece of silver as much as seven hundred taels of silver.

Zhu Shangwu bought 100,000 pieces in one go.

Of course, the cost of this arms is still on credit.

Now Zhu Shangwu is already a lice and is not afraid of itching, so if he owes it, he owes it.

Zhao Hongyu also doesn't care about this.

He was not afraid that Zhu Shangwu would not be able to change this silver. After all, now that he has an agreement with Zhu Shangwu, that is, the exiles of the Ming Dynasty can be used to offset the account, so what else does Zhao Hongyu have to worry about.

What's more, if the population is not enough to cover the bills. Zhao Hongyu can also ask Zhu Shangwu to use some antiques treasured in the palace to settle the account.

Come to think of it, the collection in the Imperial Palace is definitely worth more than the antiques in private circulation.

Earlier, Zhao Hongyu exchanged several antiques from the Liuli Factory. are able to sell billions of soft girl coins in the virtual world.

So, if Zhu Shangwu took out the treasures in the palace, wouldn't the price be higher?

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu is not worried that he will lose money in his business at all.

And to use some antique treasures to offset the account, Zhu Shangwu is also willing to come.

You must know that now Zhu Shangwu has owed Zhao Hongyu more than 10 million taels of silver.

This is basically a tax for three to five years in the Ming Dynasty.

After the siege of Jingshi is resolved, Zhu Shangwu will definitely have a headache when he thinks of this matter.

So, Zhao Hongyu even mentioned Zhu Shangwu about the way to repay the debt, how could you make Zhu Shangwu unhappy.

Even though it is a debt of money, it still owes a large amount of money.

But as long as there is a way to pay it back, then this is definitely not a troublesome problem.

At least, that's how Zhu Shangwu sees this.

"Your Majesty? Do you think this military is still at its peak? ”

On the review stand on the school grounds, Zhu Shangwu sat in the middle.

Eunuch Xue accompanied him and asked in a low voice.

Zhu Shangwu nodded slowly when he heard this: "It's not bad, but whether it will work or not will have to go and fight with the Houjin army to find out." At the moment, there is no news of reinforcements from all over the world, and I always feel that this matter is a bit mysterious. ”

Zhu Shangwu was also cold at this time.

It has been five days since the Jingshi was besieged, and it stands to reason that after these days, reinforcements should have arrived.

However, Zhu Shangwu did not get the slightest news about the reinforcements.

It seems that the prefects and generals in various places are now waiting and seeing.

Even, at this time, whether someone had a strange mind, Zhu Shangwu felt that it was not impossible.

You must know that the emperor can be re-elected if he is gone.

There are many descendants of the Zhu family.

Moreover, in the face of the fact that the capital division was besieged, who can guarantee that the vassal kings in various places do not have a little idea in their hearts.

Zhu Shangwu had already thought of the worst of things.

Therefore, he felt that he couldn't stick to Jingshi, just let Houjin put pressure on him.

I should also find a way to see if I can rely on my own strength to relieve the siege of Jingshi.

Besides, now I want silver in my hands. If you want a weapon and a weapon, he can do it.

Speaking of which, this is all thanks to the crown prince from the Americas.

If it weren't for him, then he wouldn't have such a plan.

Come to think of it, if he didn't have the silver and weapons provided by the crown prince, then he would definitely have to wait for reinforcements from the Beijing Division.

But if that's the case, it's hard to say what will happen in the end.

"What does Your Highness mean?"

"Haven't we already recruited 50,000 troops? It's time to find a time to fight against the Houjin army outside the city, we can't always be pressed and beaten by the Houjin army like this. ”

Zhu Shangwu's meaning is obvious, because he has money and recruited 50,000 soldiers and horses. So he felt that it was time to compete with the Houjin army outside the city.

However, Zhu Shangwu still didn't think about it, the 50,000 soldiers recruited were not trained and could not go to the battle formation at all.

Because in that case, these 50,000 soldiers and horses are basically no different from going to die.

But Zhu Shangwu obviously didn't expect this.

He just felt that he had soldiers and horses, and that he also had powerful weapons.

Then he should make the enemies outside the city suffer a little.

But Zhu Shangwu couldn't think of this, it didn't mean that Eunuch Xue couldn't think of it.

After all, Eunuch Xue was a person who had read military books, so it was impossible for him not to know this.

"Your Highness, 50,000 newly recruited. But they are not trained. When such a soldier arrived on the battlefield, when he saw Houjin's barbarians, it was estimated that he couldn't even hold a knife steadily. So if they were to go out of the city to fight the Houjin barbarians, wouldn't that be death? ”

When Zhu Shangwu heard Eunuch Xue say this, his eyes suddenly widened and he was stunned.

What?

There is such a saying.

Zhu Shangwu really didn't know about these things.

Poor Zhu Shangwu. Although he is an emperor, he is still an uneducated and unskilled person.

Even soldiers need to be trained before they can go to the battlefield to fight the enemy.

"So how long are they going to train?"

"It will take a year and a half."

"We don't have that much time, I thought we had recruited soldiers. If you give them a weapon, you can fight the enemy, but I can't imagine that there are so many theories. ”

Zhu Shangwu's originally excited face suddenly showed a very disappointed look.

After Eunuch Xue saw it, he felt a little unbearable. Then he said: "These 50,000 soldiers let them train and train to defend the city, but these 5,000 brocade guards can be used, but I don't know if His Highness Lu Dao is willing to do it." ”

What's reluctant, although Jinyiwei are all elite people, but when is it now.

If the city of Jingshi is broken, then there will be nothing.

Therefore, as long as he thinks of these, Zhu Shangwu has nothing to be reluctant to.

"You go and find the crown prince of the Americas, I want to ask him what he means, after all, he provided the weapons, if he says that these five thousand men can go out to fight, then I don't think there is much of a problem. If he could, I would like him to send a few men to train the newly recruited 50,000 soldiers and horses for me, what do you think? ”

Zhu Shangwu thought of Zhao Hongyu at this time.

After all, the grenade was sold to him by Zhao Hongyu, and the crown prince who wanted to come to the Song Empire must have a say in this matter.

Whether his 5,000 Jinyi Guard army can fight against the Houjin army outside the city, Zhao Hongyu has to say it.

"Your Highness, with the meaning of the slaves, it should be no problem for them to help us train those 50,000 soldiers and horses. But as far as the slaves and maids can see, their tactics are completely different from my Daming, and this matter may be a little difficult to do. The opponent uses firearms in battle, but our Ming Dynasty uses swords and guns......"

Faced with the whimsical emperor of his own family, Eunuch Xue could only tell the truth...... (To be continued......)
