Chapter 17 Yang Feng and Zhu Yuanzhang's Candlelight Dinner
Rainy night.
Quickly erected inside the big tent.
"How's your military system?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Yang Feng who was gnawing on a leg of mutton in the candlelight.
In front of the latter was a table with various dishes on it, as well as a jar of rice wine, but it was certainly not sent from the palace.
From here, to the north, there is a military settlement......
The city is basically divided into three parts, the imperial city, the civil city, the military city, the former is the imperial city and the attached official offices, royal temples and Taoist temples, etc., the civil city is the residents' squares, handicrafts-based, before the Xu family near all the place, it can be said that the city needs to be made at present. Even the part of the outer wall that is enclosed by the huge outer wall can still be farmed and vegetables, so even if it is surrounded, it has a certain supply capacity, and the military city accounts for almost two-fifths, and from the street below the mountain to the west, it is all military households with guards as units.
Therefore, their current tents, wine and food are all from the nearest guard, and this guard has now all assembled and formed a cordon at the foot of the mountain.
"Your Majesty, you still have to pay for the consultation, once for each question."
Yang Feng said.
"No one has dared to speak to me like that in decades."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed with emotion while holding the wine glass.
"That is, I want to seek wealth in your hands, so I naturally want to grovel to you, but I am not interested in your wealth, so I don't need to grovel to you, I can say whatever I want.
We're swapping now, I'll trade a pistol for you and let me be here.
But now that you ask me a question, you have to exchange things for it, and we're not bullied. ”
Yang Feng said.
"He who does not want to be rich in my hands will not dare to speak to me like this."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled coldly.
"Even if he doesn't want to seek wealth in your hands, he has to think about his children and grandchildren, and he has to think about his family.
Yang Feng recklessly continued to gnaw on the leg of mutton.
"That's something you haven't seen before, I'll let you see it another day."
Zhu Yuanzhang said.
However, he still beckoned to the commander who was waiting next to him, who hurriedly stepped forward with a pen and paper in his hand, and looked at Yang Feng with a waiting look......
"There is an iron pot, there should be a charcoal stove, without which I would dig the stove."
"One iron pot and one charcoal stove."
"Two hundred catties of charcoal, a water tank, bowls and plates, etc., 100 catties of flour, 100 catties of rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, pepper, peppercorns, these condiments should also be matched, 100 catties of vegetables and fruits in this season, and then ten chickens and a sheep, this tent will also be left."
Yang Feng said with a posture of wanting to fight a protracted battle with Zhu Yuanzhang.
"You just answer Your Majesty's question, why do you want so much?"
The commander said angrily.
"Because I have the right not to answer? It's called a seller's market, and what I can offer is unique to me and no one else can offer it, so as long as you want it, then I'm eligible to make an offer. ”
Yang Feng said very sincerely.
"Give it to him!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said.
The commander hurriedly wrote them down, and then silently retreated......
"Don't you stamp?"
Yang Feng asked.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled indifferently, took out a seal from his waist that was definitely not a jade seal, and then stamped it on the paper.
However, he does not have the jade seal that was ordered by Tianji Shou Yongchang, not only him, since Tang Li Congke committed suicide, this jade seal has disappeared, so all the mess and so-called jade seals that have appeared after this are all fake.
Yang Feng looked at the stamped list with satisfaction.
"Your Majesty, our military system is very simple.
Active duty, that is, the standing army, the reserve, that is, to maintain a certain training, can be called up at any time during the civil war in peacetime, and then all the young adults who can join the army, we all have to train in the military for a period of time when we go to school, but this means nothing to you. This system must at least be made into a flintlock pistol, and there must be a real national identity, a feudal dynasty like you is useless, can you expect the people to charge against the cannons in order to defend your Zhu family?
It's not a big deal for them to change the emperor, isn't it the same grain?
Why don't I tell you how your descendants reformed to cope with the erosion of your military household system, and by the way, you didn't destroy the remnants, and they have been entangled with your descendants for more than 200 years.
So your descendants will still be their main rivals.
He was also captured by the remnants of the Yuan and took away an emperor, who should be your great-grandchildren, without your ability to learn to drive the imperial expedition, but the whole army was wiped out, and he was taken prisoner and was very ashamed to be taken to the border to call the door, and we gave us a nickname at that time called the Son of Heaven.
After that, your military household became more and more corrupt, and even threatened Nanjing by dozens of Japanese pirates, so your descendants mainly recruited soldiers in the later period.
Starting from Liaodong and going all the way to Jiayuguan, a total of nine general soldiers were set up, each of which had jurisdiction over tens of thousands of soldiers, and the imperial court gave them money to recruit and train their own troops, mobilize troops and horses in the defense area by themselves, and even decide when to go out of the plough court to sweep the caves. ”
He said.
"Isn't this just raising An Lushan?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a chill on his face in an instant.
I don't know if it's because of this system, or because I'm angry with his son.
I have to say that Lao Zhu is old, and it is also very dangerous to talk to him, and it is easy to be angry and have a cerebral hemorrhage.
"Your descendants are not stupid, they learned from the Song Dynasty to use literature and imperial martial arts, set up governors and governors in border towns, these are all civil officials, all with the title of the imperial history, and even some with the title of the military department Shangshu Inspector, and these civil officials not only manage the food and salary, but also carry the sword of Shang Fang, and have the right to cut the generals first."
Yang Feng said.
"If Wen Yuwu is useful, the Zhao family will not be a man as a slave and a woman as a prostitute!
After all, they all love the money, as long as the money is in their hands, it is for them to fill their pockets, who will not collude up and down, who will not eat empty salaries, how can they really defend the country against the enemy, but raise the enemy to ask the court for money, if I guess correctly, they should also learn to raise self-respect, right? No wonder in the end, he was so poor that he lost the country, and all the money of the court went to such a moth-eaten bag, but he didn't have to be poor enough to lose the country. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered.
"You are completely right, the leader of the Tartars who finally won the world is said to be the domestic slave of the Liaodong General Army.
It's not just that they are self-respecting, they also work together to deal with those who refuse to go along with it.
Your late Ming Dynasty produced a famous general, even if you opened the country, it is not lost to Xu Chang, he trained a new army for your descendants, this new army swept the south and the north to reject the remnants of the Yuan, in the ten years he sat in the border fortress, no one dared to violate the territory, but this made it very difficult for other general soldiers and civilian officials, so he because the emperor did not like to transfer and died of illness, his new army was framed for mutiny and killed.
His ancestors are said to be your own soldiers, surnamed Qi. ”
Yang Feng said.
"Qi?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled.
"Dengzhou Wei Nationality."
Yang Feng said.
"Your Majesty, what he said should be Qi Bin, the commander of the Dengzhou Guard."
The conductor said cautiously.
"Yes, Qi Xiang's son, his father did follow me to raise troops, and later died in Yunnan, so my Ming military household is still worthy of me in the end."
Zhu Yuanzhang said with emotion.
"There are indeed some of them, the descendants of your righteous son Mu Ying followed your descendant emperor who was strangled by the bowstring to the end.
However, really fight for your Ming Dynasty to the end, in fact, most of them are those who were forced to rebel by your descendants, you are now within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, as a subject of the Ming Dynasty to resist to the end, hard support for 20 years, refused to surrender to the Tartars and chose to commit suicide with the whole family, is a thief like you whose parents and brothers were starved to death by your descendants' harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and could not survive and chose to rebel.
Isn't it ironic?
When your whole family starved to death, you chose to rebel, and the one who fought to the end for your Ming Dynasty was also forced to starve to death by your descendants and rebelled. ”
Yang Feng said maliciously.
Zhu Yuanzhang's old face turned red in an instant, and he looked at him with murderous eyes, and then Huo Ran got up, raised his foot and kicked the table over for him.
Fortunately, Yang Feng reacted quickly, holding the wine jar in one hand and the leg of mutton in the other.
His Majesty the Emperor didn't say a word, and turned around and walked outside......
"Keep an eye on him, he wants to run!"
Then came the voice of His Majesty the Emperor in the rain.
"Quick, surround this place, let him escape and behead them all!"
The commander shouted.
Then, like a dog wagging his tail, he hurried to flatter His Majesty the Emperor.
Yang Feng sat there nibbling on mutton, carrying the jar and drinking rice wine, watching the back of His Majesty the Emperor disappear in the rainy night.
He really wanted to run, and he wanted so much mess just to coax Zhu Yuanzhang, but he didn't expect this guy to be too cunning, and he could see his true purpose at a glance, this kind of old fox is really not easy to deal with, fortunately, he is not short of supplies, and it is a big deal to consume it with him. Now Zhu Yuanzhang will not kill him, and he already believes in his identity, which means that he has too many things that Zhu Yuanzhang needs to know, but after being angry this time, he should not come to disturb him in a short time.
But he's here, and it's not just the emperor who wants to disturb him!
"This old fox is still fishing!"
Yang Feng sighed.
His news has spread, and it has been confirmed by Zhu Yuanzhang and Tang He, and those who have any ideas in the Ming Dynasty are looking forward to getting something from him.
Now Zhu Yunwen has not been crowned the emperor's grandson.
"Scared the hell out of me!"
In his tent behind him, the little princess climbed out of her sleeping bag with the head of a chicken coop on her head.
His tent was directly enclosed in the big tent.
"Hurry back to your temple, don't run to me in the future, I'm a decent gentleman!"
Yang Feng glared at her and said.
