Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Wind and the Clouds, Above the Court
In shock, it was not only the Jiannu soldiers who were now cut off like straw, but also the young men who crawled to the ground at this moment.
"That's all... Is that the end of it? ”
In the valley under the slanting sun, the blood of Jiannu continued to flow, and in an instant, a slender stream was constructed.
Under the reflection of the sunset.
Under the black and gold uniforms of the Heavenly Tiger Army, he was holding a life-threatening Migne rifle.
"Stop shooting!"
"Click!"
"Put away the gun!"
The troops were reassigned to their normal order.
Under the strict military discipline regulations of the Tianhu Army, the entire army was as if it were one, and no one broke away from the army to attack without authorization.
After seeing in the telescope that there was no longer a Jiannu who could still stand, Mongt ordered the troops to stop shooting.
"Queue up and move forward quickly, pay attention to whether there is a lone Jiannu! Free fire is allowed! ”
The formation begins to unfold and then constantly changes, forming an independent small formation of free fire as it did during the training of new recruits.
In units of one infantry platoon, one squad was divided into one horizontal row, and three platoons were allowed to fire alternately and continuously.
It can be said that it is perfect for dealing with free fire and cleaning up the battlefield at this moment.
"Attack!"
"Fight!"
"Fight to the death!"
A large number of small queues of the Heavenly Tiger Army continued to attack with the intention of harvesting the last Jiannu soldiers, and the Jiannu archers who were originally ambushed in the mountain stream were constantly named and harvested by the Tianhu Army soldiers like rabbits beating rabbits.
The battle went smoothly beyond imagination, and this scene was even unexpected by Meng Tu of the Second Brigade of the First Division of the Heavenly Tiger Army, in fact, he didn't know that the Tartars' ambush this time was actually on Bi Ziyin's thief ship.
After all, in Bi Ziyin's narrow cognition, the grain transportation team should theoretically be escorted by an armed team without military nature.
Even if there were, it was just the Ming army in Ningyuan Pass, and everything was beyond his expectations, and he didn't know that the Heavenly Tiger Army was coming with the trend.
After all, in order to do a good job of secrecy, cover the trip of the Tianhu Army to aid Guanning Pass this time will not be discovered, and the secrecy work is very good, except for Yuan Chonghuan, few people can know the specific itinerary of the Tianhu Army to aid Guanning Pass.
As a result, the information that the Tartars obtained from Bi Ziyin was discreted.
The hunters who were originally ambushed here completely became the prey of the Heavenly Tiger Army, and not only that, but also became the first battle of the Heavenly Tiger Army by coincidence.
This battle can not be said to be a victory, but even Huang Taiji did not expect that such a small number of personnel, the Tianhu Army, which had just finished training for soldiers, would bring him such a huge trouble.
After all, compared to later, now it is just an appetizer that Zhu Youzhen sent to the Tartars by relying on the Tianhu Army, but this appetizer is strictly speaking, it is just an encounter between accidental battles.
Even Meng Tu didn't expect that the Tartars would really prepare an ambush for the Ming army's grain transport team in this valley.
The Tartar archers inadvertently completely changed their identities, not only being named one by one by the Celestial Tiger Army like beating rabbits.
The Celestial Tiger Army, which became more and more courageous, continued to shrink into the valley after receiving orders from the brigade headquarters represented by Mont to start firing freely.
and the grain transporters who were encircled in the valley began to launch a pincer-like contraction offensive.
completely extinguished the arrogance of the ambush that the Tartars had prepared in advance, and it can be said that it was a very beautiful fight.
At the same time, in the court of Suncheon, due to the gradual increase in the business involved in the royal family in recent days.
There have been bad voices, and in most people's traditional beliefs, the emperor is not allowed to do business.
Now that the emperor has started a business, and it is gradually growing, many people are beginning to sit still.
"Your Majesty, according to the minister's view, Your Majesty's move is not only to do business on behalf of the royal family, but more importantly, to use the royal authority to influence and compete with the people for profit."
Zhu Youzhen suddenly felt unhappy, it was the Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy who spoke, and the Ming Dynasty originally did not allow the Hanlin and the court of the Hanlin Academy to listen to the government, not to mention that now it is directly discussing and judging Zhu Youzhen's practice.
However, in the later Ming Dynasty, with the gradual collapse of various court systems, the Hanlin people began to be unable to hold back their emotions to express their opinions.
Coupled with the obstruction of people with intentions, the Hanlin Group has become a court force alongside the original Yanguan Group.
"Oh? You and I are talking about the ancestral system, if it were according to the ancestral system, I am afraid that the current hall should have been empty, and there is still a chance for you to speak. ”
When everyone present heard this, their hearts began to beat wildly, yes, if it is according to the laws of the Hongwu Dynasty, it will be considered a favor of His Majesty if they are not all skinned and filled with grass, let alone leave their lives here to discuss politics.
"Your Majesty, no matter what you say, at the moment Liaodong is tight, my Ming court should focus on Liaodong, and Your Majesty, as an example of the court, should not indulge in making money at this time!"
Seeing that Na Hanlin still did not relent, he intensified his efforts to force the palace to try to force Zhu Youzhen to compromise.
Many officials who have seen Zhu Youzhen's temperament lowered their heads one after another, for fear of being implicated by this fool.
"Don't you? … This is not allowed, that is not allowed, will you give the silver against gold? ”
"Isn't Daming's tax in recent years heavy enough? As soon as I ascended the throne, I ordered the cessation of more taxes and the downward collection of taxes, is it really merciful until the entire people of my Ming Dynasty are depressed, displaced, and unable to eat? Is it a great avenue? ”
Zhu Youzhen said as he became even more angry, and couldn't help but directly pat the armrest of the dragon chair, stood up and scolded loudly.
"If you are useful one by one and can collect taxes on time for my Ming court, why should I be like this, why should I compete with the people for profit as you said, don't I want to hide the wealth from the people, so that this Ming Dynasty will always be prosperous?"
"Huh? I ask you! Don't I want to? ”
Han Lin, who was originally talking nonsense, also closed his mouth, only to see him talking hesitantly.
"That shouldn't be... That shouldn't be... The merchants have not collected taxes since the time of the Holy Ancestors... At the moment, not only is it taxed, but Jiangnan is also heavily taxed... Your Majesty, you've also started a royal business..."
Zhu Youzhen walked down from above, walked to Na Hanlin's side and shouted loudly, without the slightest concern for his face and self-control as an emperor.
"Yes! You're right! I shouldn't! But if only the treasury could come up with silver! Why should I bother! ”
"You tell me! You tell me! Where don't you want money! Prevent Liaodong from asking for money! Water conservancy facilities cost money for maintenance! The training of the Daming New Army costs money! Reform of the imperial examination requires money! This Ming up and down all want me to allocate money and ask for silver! ”
Is my silver the wind blowing?'' Yes! Can the wind bring me silver!? ‘’
Above the court, only Wei Zhongxian did not bow his head, but just looked at the Ming Emperor in front of him, who had ascended the throne as a young man, with complicated eyes.
He didn't say a wrong thing, everything can only be blamed on the people below for asking for too much, and Da Ming is facing too many crises at the moment.
Years of wars and disasters have completely affected the foundation of the dynasty, and now it is different from the truth, Wei Zhongxian does not understand why they don't understand.
