Zhu Jie and Qin Mufeng were anxious, taking the battleship of the First Fleet, running all the way, only five days, they returned to Beijing, just returned to the Forbidden City, Zhu Jie came down with a will, civil and military officials gathered in the Qianqing Palace, to discuss state affairs!

"Eigo!"

Zhu Jie's face was gloomy to the extreme, and he shouted: "I ask you!" Why is there a fraud in the ammunition sent by the Ministry of War to Weihuo City? The weight of the militaristic state, you don't even have the slightest sense of it? Outrageous! Give me an explanation! ”

Gao Jie knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the supervision of the Intelligence Department is not strict in this matter, and the minister is willing to accept the guilt, the matter has been clarified, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War are two members of the Ministry of Labor, two members of the Ministry of War, and the deputy envoy of the Firearms Bureau, etc., are shoddy, and the Imperial Court of Corruption and Mexico allocated silver taels, involving a total of 12 batches of fake shells, a total of 80,000 shells, and three batches of inferior gunpowder, a total of 24,000 catties, and the ammunition has been distributed to various military towns, most of which were sent to Manmeng Xinzhen, because of this matter, the 12 criminals were greedy for a total of 480,000 silver dollars. All of them have been sent to prison pending trial. ”

"Guilty? Is there a fart to confess? You confessed, can Duan Xuan come back to life? ”

Qin Mufeng roared angrily, "Lao Tzu is fighting to the death on the front line, you guys are good, you can't even look at your home, I'm X!" What do you want you to do? ”

"Mu Feng, shut up for me!"

Zhu Jie shouted coldly: "Spread my will, all the people involved in this case, regardless of the amount of ink greed, will be decided, and their heads will be hung at the entrance of the vegetable market for a month, and all the families will be exiled to Ningguta to open up the wasteland, and they will never be allowed to return to the Central Plains!" ”

"Your Majesty!"

Li Yan on the side said hurriedly, "I'm only afraid of ...... in this matter."

"Needless to say, the purpose!"

Zhu Jie was already full of anger in his chest, showing no mercy at all, and even Li Yan didn't give him face, "The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Intelligence, and the Ministry of Supervision, the four departments are not doing well, and the four departments will be fined for half a year to set an example!" Yifan, tell me how the war is going ahead? ”

Xu Yifan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Mobei has just sent seven hundred miles of urgent information, now Song Jiaxing has led the army to the north, arrived in Kulun, Guo Zhen led the remnants of Manmeng Xinzhen and the Mobei cavalry stationed in Erdenet, in the past few days, the Rakshasa cavalry has attacked everywhere, looting the property of the Mongolian tribes in Mobei and even Hulunbuir, there have been more than a dozen herdsmen have been looted, the number of casualties is more than 1,000, cattle and sheep have been looted countless times, Mobei is not strong enough, the attack is frustrated, can only stick to Erdenet, maintain the situation, the minister has ordered, The troops of the first town and the second town were mobilized, and they were ready to personally lead the army to aid Mobei and expedition to the Rakshasa country! ”

"You're going in person? What about the military department? ”

Zhu Jie didn't have a good airway.

Qin Mufeng said loudly: "Yes, stay at home honestly, even if you want to go, it will be Lao Tzu!" You're not qualified, shameful guy, you can't even look at home! ”

Xu Yifan's face turned red, this incident really made Xu Yifan very angry, he was in the military department, except for this kind of thing under his nose, he was embarrassed to go home!

"Mu Feng, this time the Rakshasa army invaded the territory, it is different from the last time, the Rakshasa soldiers last time were just a group of rabble, this time it is different, the Rakshasa country has mobilized 50,000 elite troops, and the artillery alone carries two hundred, otherwise Duan Xuan would not have lost Weihuo City in just ten days, and he himself was killed on the battlefield, until now Jiaxing has mobilized the entire third town of the Tianwei Army, plus the strength of the south and north of the desert, and the confrontation with the Rakshasa soldiers, they can't take the slightest advantage, and the Rakshasa country is still increasing its troops, no one knows, How many elite troops will the Rakshasa soldiers send this time, you go? Do you think you're sure you'll win? ”

Xu Yifan said in a deep voice.

Qin Mufeng was dissatisfied: "Why is there no certainty of victory? Isn't it 50,000 rakshasas? The Tianwei army is out, I don't believe that I can't clean up a group of barbarians! ”

Zhu Jie waved his hand, but Qin Mufeng didn't speak, and asked, "Yifan, this time the Rakshasa soldiers really mobilized 50,000 troops?" So powerful? ”

Xu Yifan smiled bitterly: "It's not all, according to the information we have gotten, the Rakshasa country in the northwest of Kazan, a total of 100,000 troops have been gathered, all of them are the elite of the Rakshasa country, and a large amount of grain and grass has been hoarded in Kazan, it seems that it is going to compete with us in Mobei, if the army of the Rakshasa country really pours out, then the minister really can't rest assured of the good line ahead, you don't know when, you can return to the court, Ning Yu went to the southwest again, the minister does not personally lead the troops to the expedition, who can go?" ”

Zhu Jie nodded and said: "In this case, then I will let you personally command the troops, go to Mobei, mobilize the first town of the Tianwei Army, the second town, and the first town of Jingying, control 70,000 foot cavalry, eight artillery battalions, and go to Mobei, I have only one request for you, lead the army to expedition to the Rakshasa country, within the next year, the artillery shells produced by the Firearms Bureau will be fully supplied to the Tianwei army, and all the elite combat forces in the Rakshasa country will be annihilated for me, and I will make the Rakshasa country unable to turn over within 30 years!" ”

"Your Majesty, let you say this, is there nothing wrong with me? So what are you bringing me back for? ”

Qin Mufeng said dissatisfied, "I don't care, I just want to go on an expedition to the Rakshasa Country, you didn't ask me to go last time, if you don't let me go this time, then I won't live, Duan Xuan's big revenge I must avenge it myself!" ”

Li Yan hesitated for a moment on the side and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to attack the Rakshasa Kingdom, there is nothing?" It's just that how do we supply our ammunition? As you know, some time ago, you just issued an order that all artillery ammunition of the Firearms Bureau should be supplied to Nanyang first, and the strategic position of Malacca is far more important than anywhere else......

"There's nothing wrong with it!"

Zhu Jie said fiercely: "The Firearms Bureau has been producing at full strength in the past few years, and there are more and more skilled workers, they should have been separated a long time ago, only when they are separated, they will be more motivated!" The decree went down, the Nanjing Firearms Bureau was divided into two, and the Beijing Firearms Bureau was divided into three, raising funds from the private sector, allowing private wealthy businessmen to participate in shares, and receiving dividends according to profits every year. Bi Dengfu, I will give you two years, and what you have to do is to provide the imperial court with 300 heavy artillery, 600 light infantry guns, 50,000 firing rifles, no less than 600,000 shells, and no less than 100,000 boxes of bullets every year! If you can do it, you can do it, I will let you enter the cabinet, if you can't do it, you will go back to your hometown and pick up the child, I will change people! ”

The corners of Bi Dengfu's mouth twitched, wiping, since he followed the emperor, he has never been easy to give himself the courage to be, this Ming Dynasty, the busiest person is not the first assistant, not the military department, not the official department, but his own Ministry of Works, it's really fatal......
