Chapter 51: The Terrible Truth

Wang Zhi seemed to return to that bloody moment many years ago, his eyes were full of blood and stumps, and his ears were full of howls and roars when he was dying, his eyes looked at the front with empty eyes, and the speed of his speech was not fast, but it gave people an indescribable feeling: "Long live the lord, Your Highness, you have not been on the battlefield, and when the slave and maid did not go to the battlefield, you were also full of spirits." After the real fight, I was not afraid of the jokes of the Long Live Lord, and the slave almost peed her pants! Human life on the battlefield is not worth anything at all, there are arms and thighs everywhere, and round heads are rolling in the ground! The first wave rushed up with cannon fodder, and none of them escaped back, all of them were hacked to death with knives! There are not many elite soldiers in the hands of the general, and they are the winners and losers who must be credited to a battle, and they will never be released until the critical moment. Long live the Lord, after the civil fort, the Ming Dynasty has no power to fight in the field, do you know why? Slaves and maids are also people who have died once, and if they are exposed, they will be exposed, the Ming army of nearly one million, the real soldiers, less than 100,000 people! ”

Hongji stood up abruptly and roared: "Yinjiang! Blockade Fengtian Temple, allow entry but not exit! Wang Zhi! Is everything you say true? ”

Wang Zhi smiled miserably: "Long live Lord, it's not Your Highness, the slave maid is still moldy in Yingtianfu, and this life is like grass and mustard quietly." Grateful for His Highness's kindness, Wang Zhi has a cheap life, and there is no way to repay it, how can he cover up for those people again? Although the slave maid is a Yao people, she is also a Ming person! ”

Hongzhi stared at Wang Zhi, an invisible coercion enveloped Wang Zhi, and Wang Zhi knelt there straight without fear. After a while, Hongji sat back on the dragon chair and groaned in pain: "How can this be? I thought that although there was a shortfall, it could be at least 50%, and who knew that there would not even be 10%! I don't believe it! ”

Wang Zhi sighed: "Alas, long live! In fact, this is also a grievance against the border generals. ”

"What? Wang Zhi! These bastards drink the blood of soldiers to deceive their superiors and subordinates, and you even excuse them? What is the intention? Hongji's knife-like eyes swept over, making people shudder!

Wang Zhi has already let it go, for the dream described by His Royal Highness, for the dream in his heart, he picked up the pustule and picked it up: "Long live, at least thirty percent of the annual military supplies have been deducted, don't you know?" The little one once helped to ask for money, and only gave 70,000 yuan for 100,000 taels of silver, and the small one was not angry, and asked the household official, do you know what answer he gave me? Just two words, drift! ”

Hongzhi jumped up in shock, and stared at Wang Zhi through gritted teeth: "Why is this so?" ”

Wang Zhi sneered: "Slaves and maids are just eunuchs, not those scholars who have read the books of sages, and they will not be able to pretend to be wrong!" Hooray, if you want to ask me where the remaining thirty percent have gone, I can only say that I don't know. However, it is an indisputable fact that the Hubu military storage warehouse and Guangying warehouse are all fat differences! ”

Hongji froze in place, and sat back on the dragon chair weakly for a while, weak without any strength. Suddenly, he slapped the table: "Wang Zhi, I don't believe a word of what you say!" Yinjiang, take down Wang Zhi! ”

"Wait a minute! Dad, I have something to say! Hua Houwei jumped out, he didn't expect that the army of the Ming Dynasty had been rotten to this point. Now that Hongji can't solve this problem, he wants to solve the person who poked the problem, and he can't watch Wang Zhi die.

Hongzhi shook his head: "Zhu Houwei, this is not something you can interfere with!" ”

"Who says you can't? Dad, in fact, it's all about money, with money, everything is easy to solve! ”

Hongzhi perked up and looked at Hua Houwei with anticipation: "Oh? Tell me about it! Before the sound fell, he suddenly frowned: "Yinjiang, except for Xiao Jing and Wang Zhi, they are all killed!" ”

Yin Jiang was silent, but his body turned into a black lightning, and the sound of puff and puff kept ringing, and in the blink of an eye, in the huge Fengtian Palace, only Xiao Jing, Wang Zhi, Yin Jiang and Hongzhi father and son remained.

Hua Houwei was stunned, trembling all over. In the past, he had always heard that the emperor was ruthless, but only now did he appreciate how much blood was hidden in the shadows under the dragon chair!

"Afraid of what? When was your father a child, he didn't tremble and wondered if he could see the sun the next day? As an emperor, you must be ruthless, otherwise not only will you not be able to live, but your family and country will be in chaos. Do you really think that being merciful means not killing? ”

Hua Houwei finally managed to control his trembling body, and said in a difficult voice: "Dad, in fact, it is not difficult to break the game. It's nothing more than a money word! With money, can't we recruit soldiers? With money, can't we build our own weapons? If you have money, you will have grain and grass, and you will have strong men, hehe, that set of military systems is put away, and it is also a faΓ§ade, it is not good to fight, but it is always okay to defend. ”

"It's easy to say! Wang Zhi, what do you think? Hongji's face turned a little bloody, and he turned his head to ask the expert.

Wang Zhi calmed down and turned his head to look at Hua Houwei: "Your Highness, let me ask you a few questions." ”

"You say!"

"Let's talk about the system first, how to correct the name?"

"Simple, the twelve royal guards among the twenty-six guards in the capital! Except for Jinyiwei, who is responsible for criminal investigation and intelligence, the rest can theoretically fight! ”

"Good! Where are the officers? ”

"Cultivate! There are always survivors of the generals who can really fight, let them be teachers, set up a martial arts school, and go to the border to train for three years after graduation, and those who can come back will be entrusted with important tasks! ”

"There are more than knives and guns for military supplies, I know that Your Highness has solved the smelting of steel, but there are tents, gunpowder, leather, food... A series of things, can it be solved? ”

"Of course! There are only a few of us left, and I'll be honest, there is only what you can't think of, and there is nothing I can't do! The textile machine is a heating boiler, which can weave hundreds of zhang of cloth a day; Gunpowder is simpler, as long as I have time, I have a new recipe! You have already seen the drawings of the firearms, and it is estimated that you will see the real thing in two days. Don't talk about you, even Yinjiang, it is impossible to escape the projectile piercing the chamber! There are also ways to collect good seeds, transform fertilizers, and it is not a dream to produce thousands of catties per mu! The military rations are simpler, and one day I will get some compressed biscuits out, so that a small piece can top a meal. You say, what else? ”

Looking at Hua Houwei, who was talking eloquently and pointing at random, the haze in Hongzhi's eyes dissipated little by little.

Wang Zhi smiled and nodded slightly: "Long live, the slave has finished asking." Your Highness's plan is feasible! ”

Hongzhi stood up, looked at Hua Houwei condescendingly, and shook his head regretfully: "Why didn't you give birth early?" ”

The corners of Xiao Jing's eyes jumped, and his heart was bitter. Hooray, is this easy to store? The world is going to be in chaos! Yin Jiang didn't care about this, he only had Hongzhi in his eyes.

Hua Hou Wei laughed: "Dad, people's energy is limited, do you think I have the energy to deal with those people when I get these things?" In fact, my heart is too soft, and I can't be an emperor! But if my brother is in charge of people, I will be in charge of things, and my brothers are united, who is the enemy in this world? ”
