Chapter 25: Extremely disappointed
024 Disappointing team
"Mr. Sun."
Zhu Youzhen sat lazily on the chair behind the case.
When he crossed over, he was not very old, but he became a seventeen-year-old young man when he crossed over, and unconsciously Zhu Youzhen's mentality became more like a young man. Enthusiastic but easily frustrated, easily excited and easily decadent.
No one knows better than him what a desperate situation he faces. A thousand horses were like a thousand faces that laughed at him, and the momentum he had worked so hard to create was revealed to the end.
The first few times the two of them met, it was in the environment where Zhu Youzhen scolded Fang Xuan and was high-spirited, and now Sun Chengzong also has the opportunity to watch this son of heaven carefully. The image really does not meet the requirements of Donglin's gentleman's theory, the hair is coarse and carelessly tied into a bun, and the wide sleeves are tied with silk belts, like a craftsman in labor. It looks like the outfit hasn't been changed for two or three days. In the past, emperors could be a model of thrift when they wore clothes that had been washed once, but it seemed so normal to put them on this person. In fact, this in itself is not an abnormal thing.
The emperor did not speak, and Sun Chengzong did not speak.
The old man knew that there was no one for the emperor to guide at this time.
The current boss empire is definitely not the time to take advantage of the situation, everything is borrowed from the force, and the heroes are not free. The old man who is familiar with history books knows that the current situation is more like a time to create a new Ming again with a huge burden, and what is more needed is special people to do special things. If you can't even step on this money-hungry toad, Sun Chengzong will also have to consider his own strategies and ideas. A person can dedicate his life and future to this court, this country, or he can dedicate the small family he can control to this court, this country, but he will not sacrifice the entire family to this court.
"After killing Dingguo Gong, what does Mr. Sun think of the situation in Ying Tianfu?"
Fortunately, Zhu Youzhen's eyes were not confused for too long, and he turned his hand and called Wu Zhi in. "You can stay by my side at any time and make a note of the confrontation between me and Mr. Sun."
"Dingguo Gong is just a fat dolphin that His Majesty puts on the shelf, and the minister ensures that Ying Tian is safe." After thinking about it, Sun Chengzong still felt that he should give this young emperor a little confidence and support. "Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has emphasized frugality, pro-courtiers, open speech, and clean villains, and His Majesty has confidence in his courtiers. Therefore, the old minister asks His Majesty to be relieved, and the courtiers also have loyalty to Your Majesty. ”
"Mr. Sun," I don't know what to ask, Zhu Youzhen is a little fragile today.
"I can't wait to tie a long rope to the sun and the moon every day, time is too little for me."
"The Son of Heaven is a young man, why do you say this?" This kind of old-fashioned complaint feels a bit childish and hypocritical in Sun Chengzong's ears.
Zhu Youzhen also knew that he would not find a consensus with Sun Chengzong on this point anyway, and even if this topic was revealed, he would smile and even if this topic was revealed.
It was nearly dusk, and according to the estimated time of several people, the first batch of the two teams of men and horses from the Beijing division to the big camp were estimated to be able to return. Zhu Youzhen and Sun Chengzong sat on a wooden platform built on the side of the school grounds, looking at the bright center of the field illuminated by clusters of torches. Next to the wooden table, dozens of large mouthfuls of black pot are boiling mutton, gurgling out a rich aroma and smell of mutton.
"Sir, three questions about the army academy, the first question is what is the primary meaning of the academy." The hour had passed, and no one had returned. Zhu Youzhen said to Sun Chengzong self-deprecatingly.
"The opening is the numerology of the minister's work. For the discussion of His Majesty's official school, the minister was so excited that he even wanted to resign from the post of head and assistant of the military department. ”
"The Tao of heaven and earth will be the law, wisdom, faith, benevolence, courage and strictness, wind forests, mountains and sea of fire, so its speed is like the wind, its Xu is like a forest, the invasion is like fire, it is not moving like a mountain, it is difficult to know like yin, and it is like thunder." Zhu Youzhen seemed to be endorsing, and after reciting it, he turned around and asked Sun Chengzong.
"The first point of the official school is, why can some teams do this, but our elite is so erosive? Why fight? For food, for money, for power, for women? Or is it for me, the emperor? If I had to wield a knife and fight hard, it would be nothing more than a real queen in the back. ”
"So," Zhu Youzhen looked at Sun Chengzong: "The first duty is nothing more than to protect the family and defend the country." ”
Without waiting for Sun Chengzong's feedback, the first few groups of people have already run into the gate one after another.
The first to come in was supposed to be the personal soldiers of the two leading generals. Even so, they were like routs who had lost their armor, the armor on their bodies was incomplete, and some of them left their helmets on their hands, and their hair was scattered like female ghosts. I didn't see the link of helping each other, I could only see a few fierce cronies still wielding whips weakly, waving them on the soldiers who couldn't run.
An hour later, two teams of less than a thousand people gathered under two banners. The rest of them were lying on top of the carriages organized by the British Gong Zhang Weixian, and the carriages were full of soldiers who couldn't really run, and they were also full of stealing and cheating.
"Go to a few people." Zhu Youzhen said to the Jinyi guard behind him, "You can't lie down now, let them walk slowly around the school yard." ”
At the end of the team, Sun Yuanhua and Yuan Chonghuan walked in. By this time, the two of them seemed to have no idea of capturing the flag. Fortunately, after all, they are still famous generals in history, and both of them have carried a lot of swords, guns, bows and arrows from their comrades. After all, Sun Yuanhua is a civil official, and he looks more embarrassed than Yuan Chonghuan. Seeing that he staggered to his banner, he lay down with a bang.
When the general was treated much better than the small soldier, Sun Yuanhua, supported by two eunuchs, got up from the ground with difficulty and began to walk slowly according to the emperor's strange request.
Zhu Youzhen waited until everyone's breathing calmed down, and then summoned deputy generals such as Yuan Chonghuan, Sun Yuanhua and Kong Youde to the general platform.
"Show me." Under the illumination of a circle of brocade guard torches, the two remnants of the defeated soldiers were displayed in front of everyone. There were only a hundred and ten people who could stand, who were snoring, howling, breaking their feet, and fainting.
"I don't blame anyone for the previous things, I can't eat enough imperial food, when an officer drinks the blood of soldiers, and people die without dying at home, with these three looks in front, they can accept whatever they look like today. Please ask the British public to review, and anyone who walks down the whole process will be rewarded with a silver tael, and the mutton will be let go and eaten. ”
There was no expected sound of cheering, only cold, and only the sound of the little eunuchs knocking on the edge of the pot and beckoning to eat could be heard on the school ground.
