Chapter 170: My net worth and life depend on you
As soon as Huang Jin left, Lu Fang came, and it didn't look like any good news.
"Say, what's wrong?" Zhu Houxi said a little helplessly, he only hated that he didn't have enough troops in his hands, and if anything happened, he could only stare dryly.
"Master, Henan is a great victory, King Yin's army launched two attacks and was repulsed, and now it is shrinking in Kaifeng, do you need to enter it?" This can be regarded as a relatively comfortable news recently, Lu Fang means to deal with King Yin's rebellion as soon as possible, and then quickly gather the army, and now the capital is really reassuring.
Zhu Houxi didn't raise his eyelids, beating him is not the same as beating his son, if he is defeated and retreats, then there will be ghosts, it can only be said that this is expected.
"No need, just surround it, Kaifeng is not a small place, if it is really a fight, these tens of thousands of people may not be able to take it, just surround it like this, there is not much food in it, sooner or later it will not be able to survive." Zhu Houxi rolled his eyelids, what are you doing to attack the city, just do it like this, who is afraid of whom.
I have received a wave of grain before, there must be grain in Henan, but it must not be much, not to mention anything else after a long time, the people there can't stand it, Zhu Houxi doesn't want to capture a city, just let him take it, don't know how expensive firewood and rice are not at home, do you really think it's a good thing that the chassis is big?
"Master, do you want to withdraw a group of people, the slave maid thinks that keeping 20,000 people is almost enough, the current army in the capital is still too small, and it is impossible to guarantee the safety of His Majesty." Although His Majesty doesn't like to hear it, Lu Fang still wants to say that the capital is now full of 30,000 people in the army, and the key is that most of these people are new troops, and the combat effectiveness is really up for debate.
"Feelings, you are worried about this job, I told you, don't worry, more than 20,000 people are completely enough, there is no need to transfer back, there are a lot of people on King Yin's side, if the number is not enough, I am afraid that I will not be able to shake them, you can relax, I am not afraid, what are you afraid of." Zhu Houxi rolled his eyes, the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, he is not afraid, the people on Yang Shen's side are ready, just waiting for someone to pick up the leak, he is hoping that someone will come in, otherwise he will not prepare in vain.
"Alas, since Your Majesty said so, it is not easy for the slave to say anything." Lu Fang sighed, he can't say it, Your Majesty is iron-hearted, the gentleman does not set up a dangerous wall, Your Majesty is iron-hearted to use himself as bait and fish out some people with ghosts.
"That's right, just be obedient and do things well, why do you have so much heart, I must have my own plans, do you think I don't spare my life, something really happens, I must be faster than you, is there anything else?" Zhu Houxi said haha, Lu Fang is so likable, even if he doesn't like it, even if he has an opinion, he will complete his explanation to the letter.
"Your Majesty, the southeast coast of the Japanese invaded my border again, but now that the war is raging, the slave and maid mean that they are slow, there are not many people, we can wait for this matter to pass and solve it." Lu Fang knew that if he didn't persuade him, His Majesty would definitely not let go of those wouldn't let go of those wouldn't be persuaded, but he couldn't help but say these things, so he could only persuade and hope that His Majesty wouldn't be impulsive.
"Wako?" Zhu Houyu squinted, this is not a good word, this is a historical problem, no matter whether Zhu Houyi cares or not, but as long as he hears this word, it will always arouse anger in his heart.
"Yes, in fact, there have been Japanese invaders along the coast to infest the border, but it is not very serious, it stopped for a while some time ago, but recently it has begun to make trouble again, there are not many people, but the division is very scattered, if there are fewer troops to fight, it may not be able to fight, and more and waste troops, the slave maid means to let it go first, he wants to rob him, let him rob, let's do our own things well."
Lu Fang didn't pay attention to the change in His Majesty's face, this was the best way he could think of at the moment, there was a shortage of troops in various places, and it was impossible to draw troops from all over the country because of this rogue force, which was unrealistic.
"Ridiculous, do I want to put the people of Daming at the mercy of me?" Zhu Houxi threw the teacup on the ground, this is a matter of face, if he is beaten, he may let it go, but this is a wolf, he doesn't care about others, but he remembers this hatred, a small place with a big corner, a big place, and dare to jump around on my face, he doesn't go to trouble these guys, forget it, and dare to provoke.
Lu Fang was taken aback by this sudden change, in his influence, His Majesty has always been a manifestation of joy and anger, and he is very sincere, but under this sincerity, you will never be able to guess His Majesty's thoughts.
But now it is very different, he clearly feels the anger of His Majesty, in his mind, His Majesty has always been a calm representative, but today's Majesty is very abnormal.
"But master, we really don't have any available troops, Your Majesty think twice." Lu Fang had a bitter face, there are only 30,000 troops in the capital, and they can't be sent out anymore, the wokos are just ringworm, although they are uncomfortable, but they can bear it, and now it is a matter of life and death.
Hearing Lu Fang's advice, Zhu Houxi also had a slight headache, it was really difficult, but let go of this group of miscellaneous pieces, he was unwilling, he could bear anything else, after all, the overall situation is still there, if you really divide your troops to fight these widows, if you lose, then there will be nothing.
"Got it, got it, what's the matter?" Zhu Houxi has a headache, where can he get some people to deal with these robbers?
"That's pretty much it, Your Majesty, you must think twice." Lu Fang was afraid that His Majesty would send out the last bit of his family money on an impulse, and Beijing City would be really empty at that time.
"I know, I know, you go down first, it's not that I don't know about this situation." Zhu Houxi waved his hand impatiently, can he not know the situation, but this is a problem left over from history, or that sentence, maybe someone has forgotten history, but someone will always remember, if he doesn't fight, his heart will not be smooth.
"Master......" Lu Fang saw that His Majesty's face was very unpleasant, and wanted to comfort him.
"Okay, okay, you go get busy first, I know the situation better than you, and I can still carry it clearly, so you can rest assured." Although I am unwilling, I really can't send troops at this time, so let's let those guys make trouble for a while.
"No." Lu Fang bowed slightly and left.
Looking at Lu Fang's back, Zhu Houxi had to sigh, he thought that more than 200,000 was enough, but there was still a gap, if only a few more elite soldiers came.
"Elite soldiers?" Zhu Houxi suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, he seems to have such an elite army, it seems to be in the coastal area, right?
Zhu Houxi touched his chin, that's right, it's Wang Yangming's one, to be honest, he originally wanted to develop obscenely, but he didn't allow it in the actual situation, so it seems that Wang Yangming's one is a bit chicken in a short period of time, in fact, otherwise, as long as the grassroots officers are trained well, he will soon be able to pull up an army for Wang Yangming.
He didn't want to use it, after all, these are all valuable assets, but now he doesn't have to, if he doesn't fight those small days, he is not comfortable living, and his heart is not smooth, he remembers that Wang Yangming should be in the coastal area, and he heard the news of him fighting the Japanese before, and this time it was just right.
Just do it, immediately Zhu Houxi went to Yang Shen to inform, by the way, see how the training of the Jinyi Guard over there is, the Jinyi Guard also has thousands of people, this is his own hole card, if not, then he is not a loss, he is not very demanding, thousands of guns, hundreds of marksmen, and the rest of the firepower network is arranged.
"Hey, hey, you haven't slept in a few days?" Zhu Houyu pursed his lips, why do my generals look like this, Yang Shen has a big dark circle under his eyes, and he looks sluggish at first glance, plus he often doesn't see the sun, that little face, Zhu Houyu feels pitiful when he looks at it.
"Your Majesty, are you here?" Yang Shen's eyes were bloodshot, he had indeed stayed up for several days, there was no way, there was a shortage of materials after the war, he had to hurry up production, and there were some product research and development, very busy, the caliber of the cannon could not be changed for the time being, but recently some flowering shells were studied, especially for the cavalry, and when the time came, the cavalry formation on the opposite side was directly chaotic.
There are also all kinds of mines, he is now completely free of himself, anyway, how powerful the weapon is, how to come, if it is not for the gasoline that His Majesty said, he wants to try to make some incendiary bombs, fire attack has always been a common strategy in ancient times, but it is generally used with fire oil, the effect is real, unsatisfactory, I heard His Majesty say that the gasoline used in the incendiary bomb is a little bit, and I don't know if it is easy to use or not.
"Even if the war has been tense recently, you can't exhaust yourself, you still have to pay attention to rest, you can't have a framework that hasn't been established, you will fall first, I have already told you, the days ahead are still very long, we still have a lot of things to do, these things are important now, but they are not that important, relatively, you can slowly hand over these things to the people below to do, the general direction is right, and you don't need to do everything yourself."
Zhu Houyu is really afraid that this guy will fall, it's only been a year, and he has spent a lot of effort to help him regulate his body before, how long has it been, and he has made himself like this, Zhu Houyu is also very helpless, how can he do it, he really doesn't treat his body as a body, he doesn't feel sorry for Zhu Houyi.
"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, the minister is fine, I don't know why Your Majesty came this time?" Yang Shen waved his hand, he knew his own body, he was just a little tired, just rest for a while, the main thing, he felt that this was interesting, watching magical things being created in his hands, he felt a special sense of accomplishment.
"It's not a big deal, can you contact Wang Yangming?" I really have to find Jinyiwei for this matter, but I don't know if Yang Shen knows, this guy seems to be obsessed with the research and development of weapons, and the other information seems to be a bit wasted.
"It should be okay, a few months ago, His Majesty didn't ask Weichen to send him a batch of firearms, Weichen handed them over through Jinyiwei, and then there was no then, and the minister didn't inquire about their address, mainly now Jinyiwei is seriously understaffed outside, and it's hard to say whether Weichen can be found."
Yang Shen didn't say it so absolutely, he could only say try it as much as possible, although he didn't know what His Majesty was looking for them.
"Well, you can try it, send him a message to tell him to deal with the widows on the southeast coast, I really can't spare manpower here, and those ghost things are really unpleasant for me to look at." Zhu Houxi nodded slightly, try it, it's naturally good to be able to do it, if he can't, he can't do it, he really can't draw out the army, or it's the local army, even if he has no soldiers to use, he doesn't bother to use those, rotten melons are not as good as unripe melons.
"No." Yang Shen nodded slightly, and then directly called his subordinates to give him two orders.
"By the way, how's the preparation of firearms and supplies?"
"I've got a lot, why don't you take Your Majesty to see it?" Speaking of this, Yang Shen's eyes suddenly lit up, this is really interesting, for example, those cannonballs, the small body has a huge amount of energy, can wear the golden cracking stone, and not only that, the power can be even greater, he is more interested in this, and the follow-up research and development is basically led by him.
"Forget it, you have to be careful, don't blow up Beijing City by then." It's really dangerous to say that this thing doesn't sound good.,One doesn't pay attention to it.,A Beijing city is a bit exaggerated.,I feel like half of it is still fine.。
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, it's okay, it's no problem for the reserves here to play a few games." Yang Shen patted his chest and reassured.
"These things can be controlled by the people of the Jinyi Guard, right?"
"Pretty much, at least the people here basically correspond to it."
"That's good, I forgot to tell you, now there are only more than 20,000 people from Qi Jingtong's First Army in the entire Beijing City, and then there are your Jinyi Guards, if there is a foreign invasion, it will depend on you at that time." Zhu Houxi squinted his eyes and spoke as if he was joking.
Yang Shen blinked his eyes, didn't react for a while, and asked blankly: "Then, what about the Twelve Guards?" ”
"King Yin rebelled, I sent it out to suppress it, and you have to defend it for me when the time comes, otherwise, I will definitely have no problem running away, and your hard work will be gone." Zhu Houxi pursed his lips.
"So Your Majesty, I'm the last one to know about the emptiness of Beijing?" Yang Shen was a little speechless, not to mention earlier, the fighters of Jinyiwei also have to take time to familiarize themselves with these things, some people have never seen them, if they don't rely on these things, what will really happen to these thousands of Jinyiwei, and it is not enough to plug their teeth.
"Eh, don't I believe you, come on, my net worth and life depend on you, when the time comes, I will catch them off guard and take out our family background." Zhu Houxi patted Yang Shen on the shoulder, without him, he would still be shrinking now.
Yang Shen rolled his eyes, okay, you are Your Majesty, you have the final say.
