"Back to the emperor, the shipyard has been almost built, the shipwrights of the Franco machine have been secretly monitored by the Jinyiwei, they can't make trouble, the Han boatmen have also been recruited, and the director of the Ministry of Engineering has secretly told them to learn more from the ship-making skills of the Franco machine craftsmen and learn from each other's strengths." Mu Tianbo knows the construction of the village well.

"That's right, the population of the village has increased a lot now, how many people are there?"

"The original population was 10,000, and the families of the migrating pirates came to increase by nearly 10,000, and the Han people who had accumulated in the past six months also had 5,000, and a few days ago the Dawei city was broken, and tens of thousands of Burmese people came to take refuge, totaling nearly 40,000 people. What Weichen knows is not accurate, if the emperor wants to know the accurate Dingkou, he can ask the head of the household department. ”

Zhu Jun smiled and said, "That's not necessary, you are old, you don't have to bow down to everything, just pay more attention to your body on weekdays." ”

Mu Tianbo's face changed, and he hurriedly bowed down to the ground and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is stupid, he has not made an inch of merit since he was the first assistant of the cabinet, and he is really ashamed of the emperor, and he asked the emperor to choose another virtuous person." ”

Zhu Jun couldn't help but pout, only then did he know that what he said just now seemed to be wrong, wouldn't the emperor insinuate that the courtiers didn't have to bow down to everything? In history, the only ministers who dared to bow down to each other were Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, and Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, but although these two people were loyal and received a lot of praise, they were still jealous of the emperor. Mu Tianbo heard Zhu Jun say that he would bow down to everything, and said that he was 'old, pay attention to his body', which made him mistakenly think that Zhu Jun suspected him of disobedience and wanted to send him to retire.

It is not unreasonable that the Mu family has gone through more than ten generations in the past three hundred years and can still gain the favor of the emperors of the past dynasties, and it is rare to be so careful in a high position, Zhu Jun couldn't help but sigh and comforted: "I don't mean that, you are an old minister, I just hope that you can pay more attention to your body while serving me, among so many bereaved ministers, the person I trust the most is you, and this auxiliary position has to be let you come." ”

"How can Weichen be virtuous, thanks to the favor of my emperor, dare not serve the dead." Mu Tianbona bowed again, a tear flashed in the corner of his eyes, and he was helped by Zhu Jun to stand up.

"I don't want you to die, I want you to live to be 100 years old, and let you be the first assistant of the cabinet and work for me in state affairs." Zhu Jun said a joke and frowned again: "Now that the population has increased a lot, the cabinet should draw up a sign for recruits, now we only have four thousand soldiers, which is far from enough, this time you and Yang Side will discuss and make his army ready." ”

"Now that we have enough money, there is no need to increase the soldier's salary, but this reward will be increased."

Zhu Jun was instructing, and when he raised his eyes and saw Xiao Guizi cautiously stepping into the threshold, he couldn't help frowning: "Didn't I say that you can't come in and disturb during the discussion?" What do you come in for? ”

Xiao Guizi said: "Scholar Zhou asks to see him, there is an urgent military situation. ”

Zhu Jun was stunned for a moment and waved his hand: "Let him in." ”

After a while, Zhou Mubai trotted in, and when he saw Mu Tianbo also here, he couldn't help but have a sinking face, and then said to Zhu Junyu: "Your Majesty, the Burmese capital has been dispatching troops and horses frequently recently, and I am afraid that there will be chaos in the near future." ”

"Oh? You take your time. ”

"The spies arranged by the emperor in the Burmese capital have just reported ......"

The royal palace of the city of Awa, the capital of Myanmar.

The Burmese king walked back and forth in the hall with a calm face and behind his back, and four or five generals wearing rattan armor stood still in the hall.

The outside of the hall has been shrouded in darkness, but the hall is illuminated by dozens of palace lights, at this time, a Burmese official hurriedly trotted in from outside the hall.

"Ayah, what's going on?" The king of Burma paused, and frost hung on his face.

"Your Highness, I have found out clearly, the general of the west guarding in western Myanmar is leading an army of nine thousand to march to the capital, and the general of the west is the uncle of Wang Mangbai, and this time he entered the capital, I am afraid that he is going to conspire with the white thief."

"What happened to the Qinwang inscription that this king secretly sent? Has there been a general who has entered the king of Duqinwang? The Burmese King frowned.

The Burmese official hesitated, and said: "It's been seven days since it was sent, and the garrisons in various places still haven't moved, and Weichen thinks that they are still waiting." ”

"This group of bastards, this king treats them well on weekdays." The Burmese King stomped his feet angrily, then calmed down again, and his eyes swept to the generals in the palace: "Generals, what do you think?" ”

These are all the generals of the palace forbidden army who defend the palace, and the hardcore supporters of the king of Burma, when they saw the king of Burma speak, they all put their hands on their chests and saluted: "The last general is willing to kill the traitors for His Royal Highness." ”

"Wang Mangbai is the younger brother of this king's half-brother, and this king has repeatedly connived at him, not only letting him be in charge of the city guards of the Burmese capital, but also letting him participate in political affairs, and the gold and silver rewarded to him can fill the king's palace, but he does not want to repay the favor, but wants to put the king to death, this immature wolf."

"Since he is determined to make a rebellion regardless of his brotherhood, this king will never tolerate him, and will definitely cut this beast into ten thousand pieces and slaughter all his children."

The Burmese king cursed with all his might, and he had cursed seven or eight times in one day, and the generals and Burmese officials present had already heard the calluses in their ears, so they had to remain silent and let the Burmese king vent.

The current chaos in Myanmar is completely created by the previous Burmese king, when Wang Mangda and Wang Mangbai were princes, the old Burmese king cherished his youngest son Wang Mangbai, and originally wanted to make him the crown prince, but was opposed by the collective opposition of domestic civil officials, and had no choice but to let Wang Mangda, the eldest son, inherit his throne.

Since then, Wang Mangbai began to deliberately manage the city defense army, and has a good prestige in the army, until Wang Mangda inherited the throne, his younger brother has become a big Burmese force, Wang Mangda did not dare to easily revoke his brother's military power, so he had to deliberately tolerate, in order to paralyze his younger brother and let him participate in political affairs, but secretly placed cronies in the army, hoping to disintegrate his brother's power, in this way, the violent Wang Mangbai turned his face, in his opinion, this throne was originally given to him by his father, The Burmese king was only two years before him, and a turmoil unfolded uncontrollably until today, when the time for a showdown came.

"King, the traitor will naturally be ambushed, but what should I do for now?" Seeing that the Burmese king gradually calmed down, the Burmese official said.

The Burmese king said: "The soldiers and horses of the western general are coming, and we must get rid of this thief as soon as possible before they arrive." Now there are only the royal army guarding the palace and the city army guarding the Burmese capital in Burma, so let's take a look, what are the chances of victory if the royal army fights with the city army of the white thief? ”

"I'm afraid it's only five or five." A Wang army general stood up and said.

The King of Burma nodded, and said with a dead face: "If you add the soldiers and horses of the Western General who came overnight, the chances of this king will be even less, everyone, is there a way to get rid of the thief?" ”

"Wechen remembered someone." The Burmese official squinted.

"Oh? Who is it. ”

"Have you forgotten, my lord? Thirty miles outside the Burmese capital is the mausoleum of the first kings, there are 3,000 men and horses guarding the mausoleum, the general who commands this army is called Ah Duo, is the most loyal guard of the first king, if the king can transfer him to the Burmese capital and support the king, we will be able to get rid of Wang Mangbai before the army of the western general arrives, and at that time, it will be easy to repel the western general's military horses. ”

The Burmese king frowned and said, "Is Ah Duo willing to be loyal to this king?" ”

"King, how do you know if you don't give it a try? This is our only chance. Burmese officials said.

"Okay, you go out of the city in the starry night, go to visit Ah Duo to convey the will of this king, as long as he is willing to help this king, after the thief is eliminated, he will be ordered to be the general of the city army." The Burmese king unfolded his eyebrows.
