Chapter 174: Intimidating the Western Chu Army
Ying Zheng rushed to Xianyang with 50,000 Mengjia troops and all the members of the Jing family class.
Along the way, almost everyone was talking and laughing, because they were escorting nothing else, but a whole alloy that could make 3,000 "self-weapons"!
Back outside the city, first go to Jingyao.
The brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi took the Mengjia army and put all the things in Jingyao together, and did not return to the original camp of the Mengjia army, but stationed in Jingyao.
Who doesn't want to see how this ancient god soldier is created?
When I was in Lishan, the soldiers of the Mengjia army were all performing their duties, guarding the garrison, and mining the mine, and no one had time to witness the process of smelting this alloy into "my weapon".
What's more, on the way back, the soldiers of the Mengjia Army heard that many people from the Praetorian Guard of King Qin signed up to come to the Mengfu, and after the assessment, they all became "our army", who doesn't want this opportunity?
What's more, there are still 3,000 "I weapons" in the process of forging, and after they are made, someone will also have to use them, what a great opportunity!
In Ying Zheng's study, Meng Tian and Meng Yi looked at Ying Zheng with a smile, not knowing what the hell they were doing.
"Tell me, what are you two calculating?" Ying Zheng squinted his eyes and looked at the brothers.
Meng Tian cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, we have all been back for a few days, but the soldiers of the Meng family army are still stationed in Jingyao and refuse to leave. ”
"Won't go?" Ying Zheng said coldly, "There are so many people, what are you doing there?" ”
"Isn't it a long time since the soldiers and the craftsmen of the Jingjia class have feelings for each other." Meng Tian said.
Ying Zheng smiled playfully and quipped: "It's all men, so it's not good." ”
Meng Tian, Meng Yi: "......"
"Okay, stop laughing." Ying Zheng said, "If you have something to say, just say it." ”
Meng Yi probably felt that Meng Tian was not refreshing enough, so he took over and said: "Your Majesty, the reason why the soldiers didn't leave was because they all wanted to see with their own eyes how the alloy they collected was refined into 'my weapon'. ”
"Haven't you seen it these days?" Ying Zheng asked deliberately.
"I saw it, I saw it, but the soldiers always felt that just seeing it couldn't solve any problems." Meng Yi said.
"In fact, what the soldiers want most is to sign up again and become a member of 'our army'." Meng Tian said.
"Huh." Ying Zheng smiled, "I have long known that you have this idea, why, let them go to 'our army', are you willing to do it?" ”
"It's all for the king, and there's nothing to be reluctant about." Meng Tian said, "Besides, the first 100 new armies were not also selected from the Mengjia army, didn't the king say that the soldiers of this 'our army' should all use the most trustworthy people, and the king seems to have no other place to be more suitable except for the selection of the Mengjia army." ”
As far as you like to be honest.
Ying Zheng glared at Meng Tian and said, "Okay, okay, if the widow agrees, you go back and let the sergeants sign up, but if you can't pass the assessment, then there is no way." ”
"What about the number of people?" Meng Yi asked anxiously.
Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and said: "The two hundred sent to Zhao Guo have already hit the road, and the rest should be less than three thousand, so let's expand the number of 'our army' to two thousand first, so that the remaining some divine soldiers will be left for backup for the time being." ”
"If that's the case, I don't know if Wei Yu's side can handle it." Meng Tian was happy with a little worry.
"If the widow believes in his side, there will be no problem." Ying Zheng said quite firmly.
"That's great." Meng Tian's smile was even bigger.
At this time, Zhao Gao walked into the study, holding a letter in his hand, and said, "Your Majesty, Changping Jun has a letter." ”
Ying Zheng took the letter and expanded it.
After reading Changpingjun's letter, Ying Zheng's brows tightened slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
"Your Majesty, is there something urgent?" Seeing that Ying Zheng's face had changed, Meng Tian asked out loud.
Ying Zheng put down the letterhead and said: "There is no urgency, Changping Jun sent a message to congratulate Fusu on the full moon, and at the same time asked the widow for some grain and grass. ”
"Do you want grain and grass again?" Meng Yi was puzzled, "Didn't the Western Chu Army already allocate a year's worth of grain and grass before the formation of the Western Chu Army?" ”
Ying Zheng sighed lightly and said: "When they occupied the mountains and forests before, they were so self-sufficient that they could barely maintain it, but since the young laborers joined the army, the court only paid the salaries of the sergeants, but thinking about those old and young, the supply was naturally insufficient. ”
"Will the king still have to bear the rations of the old and the young?" Meng Tian said indignantly.
"If this were such a burden, would not the treasury be empty long ago." Ying Zheng said, "It seems that we really have to find a way to solve this matter." ”
Meng Tian and Meng Yi looked at each other, as if they were both thinking of countermeasures.
Ying Zheng asked Zhao Gao to call Li Si, and then told Li Si about it.
Li Si smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this opportunity has been delivered to us in advance. ”
"Opportunity?" Ying Zheng was a little surprised.
Li Si explained: "Before, our general plan was to let Changping Jun fight against Chang Yu, but now, Lu Buwei has agreed that the king will crown himself in three months, and this shortening of time is not only a little surprising to us, but also that Chang Yu is even more unprepared. ”
"Not bad." Ying Zheng said, "When the middle father said this, the widow thought he was joking. ”
"Then according to our previous prediction, if Chang Yu starts an incident, he should have been prepared." Lees said.
Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, and he said with an epiphany: "That means that according to the previous plan, we should also let Changping Jun start to prepare?" ”
"Exactly." Li Si smiled and said, "This letter has given us a great opportunity. ”
Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, then the corners of his mouth rose, and he said with a smile: "What Mr. means is that when we allocate food and salary to the Western Chu Army, we will not send the food and salary, but let Changping Jun take the Western Chu Army back to Xianyang to get it." ”
"Not bad." Li Si also smiled, "As for this excuse, it can be said that Changping Jun wants to visit Prince Fusu, and at the same time, the king also wants to check the morale of the Western Chu army." ”
"Then he ordered him to guard Xianyang City, and keep abreast of Chang Yu's movements, and once Chang Yu is in trouble, he will be killed on the spot." Ying Zheng added.
"Don't ask." Meng Tian followed and said, "The Meng family army must be escorting the king to Yongcheng." ”
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "Although the Meng family army will not fight with Chang Yu head-on, but it must protect the Queen Mother, as well as the henchmen of Chang Yu, after all, the current Yongcheng is already Chang Yu's lair." ”
"Then what if Chang Yu didn't have an accident?" Meng Tian asked.
"Didn't you receive a tip-off report that Tuoba Hai, the partial general in the Marquis Chang's mansion, disappeared mysteriously, and it is very likely that he went to gather the clansmen of Yiqu." Ying Zheng analyzed, "Presumably the news brought back by the Queen Mother has already made Chang Yu start to be frightened, and she is fully preparing for the incident." ”
Faced with a very likely mutiny, Ying Zheng's tone was very calm.
"If Chang Yu really chooses to endure in the end, there will be many charges waiting for him." Li Si resolutely said, "The hidden dangers of the country must be eliminated." ”
Lis's attitude is very resolute, and it is no longer a guess.
"As for the old and young ...... in the family of the Western Chu Army," Ying Zheng thought for a while and said, "It's better to give Changping Jun a piece of land in the name of reward afterwards to settle them." ”
"The king." The three of them said in unison.
"Now that the plan has been decided, the widow will immediately write a handwritten letter to Changpingjun." After that, Yingzheng asked Meng Yi to bring pen and ink and write a letter.
After handing over the written letter to Zhao Gao, Ying Zheng seemed to remember something, turned around and asked Li Si: "Sir, Nansu was born prematurely before, so will Hu Yu be the same as her, if it is the same, now it is almost the day." ”
Previously, Ying Zheng suspected that Nan Su was born prematurely because of taking Linggu Dan, and later asked Li Si to determine this.
And now, he began to worry about Hu Yu again.
Li Si said: "Everyone's physique is different, and Mrs. Hu Yu may not be born prematurely, but it is indeed necessary to focus on guarding." ”
"Then let's find a doctor
, let's take a look at Hu Yu. Ying Zheng said.
Li Si answered, and then followed Yingzheng to find Imperial Doctor Song.
The two brothers, Meng Tian and Meng Yi, returned to Mengfu and told Meng Wu and Wei Wei about Yingzheng's army expansion plan.
In Hu Yu's bedroom, Imperial Physician Song's fingers rested on Hu Yu's pulse, and his expression changed slightly.
"How's it going, Imperial Doctor?" Hu Yu asked.
Imperial Physician Song didn't answer in a hurry, but looked at Hu Yu's tongue, eyelids, and nails again before he said slowly: "According to the old man, the fetus in Madame's womb seems to be close to forming, but there is no sign of production, so it is better to pay attention to it every day, and the old man will be on call." ”
This is also very clear, although there is no movement now, Hu Yu may give birth at any time.
"Thank you for that." Ying Zheng thanked him and sent the doctor away.
Hu Yu looked at Li Si with a smile and said, "Sir, if you don't show me again, is it really as the imperial doctor said." It's best to see if it's male or female. ”
Lis: "......"
Hu Yu knew that Li Si's ability was great, and purely in terms of medical skills, he was by no means inferior to Imperial Doctor Song.
Ying Zheng sent the imperial doctor away and sat back.
What Li Si didn't expect was that Ying Zheng actually said the same thing as Hu Yu.
Li Si had no choice but to smile bitterly and shake his head, and took action to diagnose Hu Yu.
"Indeed, as the imperial doctor said, Madame is almost at the stage of giving birth." Lees said.
"Oh?" Ying Zheng saw that there were no outsiders, and said softly, "How does that gentleman distinguish, it is better to teach the widow." ”
"Hehe, I heard that the king diagnosed the other two ladies before, and it seems that he has become interested in medical skills." Li Si laughed.
"yes." Ying Zheng looked at Hu Yu and said, "After all, this opportunity is rare. ”
"Then the minister will come to teach the king." Lees said.
Hu Yu's eyes were a little hostile, but he still obediently stretched out his jade wrist again.
In the next three days, in addition to going to greet Mrs. Huayang and Mrs. Xia, and then teasing Xiao Fusu, Ying Zheng spent the rest of his time by Hu Yu's side.
Small kiosk
"Your Majesty, you said, Mr. said that the other day that a concubine would give birth to a prince nine times out of ten, is this accurate?" Hu Yu, who was snuggling next to Ying Zheng, asked curiously.
"No one is sure of that." Ying Zheng said, "But for other things, Mr. hasn't lost his words yet. ”
Hu Yu sat up straight, his eyes widened, and exclaimed, "Then could it be true?" ”
"Oh, hopefully." Ying Zheng smiled, "Didn't the widow say it, if it is a princess, the widow is as happy." ”
"But concubines like boys." Hu Yu said, "When I saw the little Fusu born to Sister Nansu, I liked it very much." ”
Hu Yu really likes Fusu very much, although he has a big belly, he is the one who visits Fusu the most among the ladies.
"Your Majesty, you say, does it really hurt to give birth to a child?" Hu Yu asked again.
"It should ...... You alright. For this, Ying Zheng really didn't have a chance to experience it.
"If it doesn't hurt so much, the concubine wants to give birth to the king forever." Hu Yu said, "Born until your teeth fall out and you can't live anymore." ”
"Then you're not an old witch." Ying Zheng habitually shaved the bridge of Hu Yu's nose.
"Hehe...... Hu Yugang grinned, but followed closely, "Oops! ”
"What's wrong?" Ying Zheng asked with concern.
"It's okay, probably he kicked the concubine...... Oops! Hu Yu exhaled again.
"The widow went and called the doctor." After that, Ying Zheng stepped out of the door and ordered the maid to call the imperial doctor.
And this time, Imperial Doctor Song, who had been prepared for a long time, directly brought Wen Po and a few female doctors over.
Probably because of the relationship between frequent martial arts practice and physical fitness, Hu Yu's production process was extremely smooth.
It only took more than an hour for Yingzheng's second son to announce his arrival with a shout.
Hu Hai is born!
