Shi Min went to the camp of Zhanghe and discussed with his uncles Dong Kuang, Wang Ping and Wei Zheng about forming a strong army.

Dong Kuang said suspiciously: "I don't know what kind of strong army you plan to train is?" ”

"It's similar to the trapping camp at the end of the Han Dynasty, but it's a little different. For this strong army, the establishment is 1,000 people, three meals a day, a full meal, and one meal of meat every day. I am ready to select from among the more than 30,000 soldiers in our army, and this strong army of 1,000 people must be skilled in archery and horses, and can fight on foot and horse, and be ten with one as ten, and be brave and not afraid of death! ”

The Trap Camp was a unique force in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, small in number, but extremely brave in battle, and its commander was Gao Shun, a general under Lü Bu.

It is said that Gao Shun "has more than 700 soldiers, numbered as 1,000 people, and the armor is refined and neat, and each attack is broken, which is called 'trapping camp'". There are only more than 700 people in the whole army, all of whom are brave and good at fighting, and the equipment is well-equipped.

The trapping camp once defeated Liu Bei, who had Guan Zhang, and his bravery can be seen!

Shi Min said: "You should have heard of Wei Wushu during the Warring States Period. The soldiers of this strong army must wear three layers of heavy armor (inner and outer three layers of protective clothing or another name for heavy armor) and iron helmets, be able to open a crossbow of twelve stones (one hundred and twenty catties for one stone), each carry fifty crossbow arrows, hold spears or iron halberds, belts and swords, carry three days of combat food and grass, and can walk more than 100 miles in half a day. ”

"This ...... Too harsh, right? Dong Kuang said.

"Can't even a thousand of our army's more than 30,000 soldiers have such combat capabilities?"

"Yes, yes." Dong Kuang hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just that to train such an elite army, I don't know how much financial and material resources it will cost!" The food and weapons and equipment in our army are all issued by the imperial court, if Min Er insists on training such a strong army, you should ask the king. ”

Shi Min nodded and said, "I'll leave for Jianzhang Palace to meet the king immediately." ”

"Second uncle, third uncle, fifth uncle, now that the Spring Festival is approaching, the soldiers have a home and can't go back, so we must treat them well after training. I will definitely be able to persuade the king to issue more military spending, so I don't have to care about those military spending, I must buy more chickens, pigs, sheep, ducks and other livestock, twice as much as in previous years. ”

Hearing this, Dong Kuang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said, "Min'er, are you really sure to persuade the king to increase more military spending for our Han army?" ”

"It's a must." Shi Min said confidently.

Immediately, Shi Min set off and went to the Jianzhang Palace where Shi Hu, the king of Great Zhao, was located.

Shi Min hated this Jianzhang Palace, but he had to set foot here. After being reported, Shi Min followed a chamberlain into the aisle of Jianzhang Palace, passed a few aisles, a few royal rivers, and finally entered the harem where Shi Hu was.

Now it's three poles in the sun, but Shi Hu has not yet gotten up to deal with government affairs, and it is impossible to go to the court or anything, and the laziness of this tyrant can be seen.

However, Shi Min couldn't control all this, his purpose was to ask Shi Hu to increase the military expenses of their Han army in order to forge a strong army. In the past, when Shi Zhan commanded the army, he often mentioned to Shi Hu about increasing military spending, but the latter ignored it, and over time, this matter passed.

When passing through a royal river, Shi Min saw several women arguing at the gate of the palace, and under curiosity, Shi Min stopped.

Because he heard a more familiar voice.

"So, what are you waiting for? Drag this down to death with a cane for me! ”

"Spare your life! Mother, save me! ”

In the midst of an argument, several women in palace clothes gathered.

The woman with a scowling brow looked like a female officer, and the woman who was pulled by the two chamberlains was also a female official, but she didn't know how the dispute happened.

It seems that the status of the two female officials should be equal, but there is also a difference, that is, the degree of favor of their masters in the palace will directly determine their own status.

Sometimes, a concubine who has been neglected is not as good as a female official in a favored concubine's palace!

This is the case with Zheng Cherry's current status.

Zheng Cherry saw that the two menacing chamberlains had framed the female officials in his palace and were about to pull out the cane to death, and couldn't help but say with a pale face: "Wait! ”

"Xiaoyu, please let her go. This is just a box of rouge, there is no need to make a fuss! Zheng Cherry said pleading to the female official with a sneer.

And the female official named Xiaoyu looked disdainful, and snorted: "Concubine Zheng, you must know that this is not an ordinary rouge!" This rouge is a tribute from the kingdom, and it was given to the queen of my family by the king! A box of rouge in excellent condition turned this over! You say that the queen is to blame, who can afford it? ”

"This ......"

Seeing Zheng Cherry hesitate for a moment, the female official who was pulled down hurriedly knelt down and said, "The slave really didn't mean it!" I just walked in a hurry for a while, and I didn't pay attention to the road. Spare your life! ”

Zheng Cherry sighed and said, "Xiaoyu, you don't think it's as good as this." I'm going to see the queen and ask her to spare Xiaocui's life, do you think it's okay? ”

When Xiaoyu heard this, she sneered and said, "Concubine Zheng, I'm afraid you don't have such a big face!" Even if you go to intercede with my queen, it's the same. You should have heard that the palace maids and chamberlains who are in charge of cleaning on weekdays, if they accidentally break the vase in the palace or something, they will be killed with a cane! ”

"And my mother-in-law has a lot of opportunities, I'm afraid I won't have time to take care of you."

“……”

So faceless?

It's really a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, being bullied by dogs!

Shi Min knows who this Zheng Cherry is.

Zheng Cherry was the third wife of Emperor Shi Hu of Later Zhao Wu, and was later named empress.

Zheng Cherry is a Han girl, a native of Xiangguo (now Xingtai City, Hebei), born in Youling, quite beautiful, and deeply favored by Shi Hu. The Tang Dynasty poet Li Ji once wrote "Zheng Cherry Song", writing the story of Zheng Cherry's beauty and spoiling the harem, which has been passed down through the ages.

At first, Shi Hu married the sister of the general Guo Rong, Zheng Cherry slandered Shi Hu, and Shi Hu killed Guo. Later, Shi Hu married the daughter of the Cui clan of Qinghe, and was also framed by Zheng Cherry and killed.

After that, Zheng Cherry gave birth to two sons, Shi Di and Shi Zun, for Shi Hu. When Shi Hu was crowned King of Wei, Zheng Cherry was made Queen of Wei.

In the first month of the third year of Xiankang (337), Shi Hu called the Great Zhao Heavenly King and established Zheng Cherry as the Heavenly King and Empress.

Zheng Cherry's position as queen did not last long, and his son Shi Di had always been unscrupulous, and his mother Zheng Cherry sent a messenger to condemn him, and the messenger was killed.

When Shi Hu heard that Shi Di was ill, he sent a female official to visit, and the female official was also killed.

Shi Hu was furious, and in August of the same year, he abolished Shi Di and his wife and 26 others, and deposed Zheng Cherry as the concubine of the East China Sea, only eight months after she became the queen.

Zheng Cherry is undoubtedly a poor woman.

But there is something hateful about the wretched. Zheng Cherry killed Guo and Cui, and he was also unhappy with retribution, and he fell to this point, he really knew that he was warm and cold!

Zheng Cherry is one of the most famous beauties in this era of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, but she is jealous and wants to favor the harem alone, and finally falls into such a fate that is almost beaten into the cold palace.

Of course, as far as Shi Min knew, Zheng Cherry also appeared later.

In the original history, after Shi Hu died, Shi Shi succeeded to the throne, and then was usurped by Shi Zun's army, and Zheng Cherry, as his mother, was naturally made the queen mother.

But the good luck didn't last long, originally Shi Zun let Ran Min (Shi Min) be the crown prince after the success of the good words before the army, who wanted to only seal one king, but fortunately, Ran Min was in power, and directly abolished Shi Zun, and Li Shijian was the emperor, Zheng Cherry died in that palace coup!

According to Shi Min's knowledge, the current queen is Du Zhu, the mother of the crown prince Shi Xuan.

Zheng Cherry had taken care of Shi Min when he was young, so seeing Zheng Cherry being bullied like this, Shi Min couldn't be indifferent.

"Don't!"

Seeing that the two attendants dragged Xiaocui away again, Zheng Cherry exclaimed, and rushed up to push it again, but the female official named Xiaoyu was very angry and directly pushed Zheng Cherry to the ground.

"Stop!" Shi Min immediately shouted.

The two attendants who were pulling Xiao Cui suddenly stopped, they all knew Shi Min.

Shi Min went up and helped Zheng Cherry up.

The female official named Xiaoyu was a little unconscious, glared and shouted, "Which general are you that dare to take care of the affairs of the harem?" ”

Shi Min said coldly: "You don't know me, it seems that you have just entered the palace." My name is Shi Min! ”

At this time, a waiter beside Xiaoyu whispered a few words in her ear.

Xiao Yu's face suddenly turned blue and red for a while, and finally he bowed to Shi Min and said, "I've seen the general." General, this knocked over the rouge that the king gave to the queen's mother, the crime is unforgivable, this is a matter of the harem, please don't interfere. ”

Shi Min said: "I originally wanted to sit on the sidelines. But why is a little female official so rude to Concubine Zheng? Anyway, Concubine Zheng is a concubine, and you are just a mere female official! I think if the king knew that a female official was so rude to his concubine, he would definitely not forgive you easily, right? ”

Shi Min is going to sue!

Xiao Yu had a dark face, and bowed to Zheng Cherry and said, "Concubine Zheng, it was the slave who was rude just now." I beg your pardon. ”

Zheng Cherry hurriedly said: "Xiaoyu, is it okay for you to spare Xiaocui's life?" After all, this is just a box of rouge gouache, and it's not worth making a fuss! ”

"This ......" Xiaoyu hesitated.

When Shi Min heard this, he said: "I believe that the queen is a knowledgeable person. It's better to be like this, you let Concubine Zheng go to the queen's palace to intercede, I think the queen is kind-hearted, and she won't kill a female official for a box of rouge, how about it? ”

"This ...... All right. ”

Xiao Yu reluctantly agreed.

Xiao Cui escaped the catastrophe. If Zheng Cherry went directly to Queen Du Zhu's palace to intercede, it would definitely not work, but now Shi Min intervened and had to take care of this matter.

Everyone knows who Shi Min is. If he complains to the king, it will inevitably ruin Du Zhu's reputation, and it will appear that she is not generous enough to be a mother of the world.

Once Shi Hu learned about this, then Xiao Yu, who bullied Zheng Cherry so much, would definitely be in a catastrophe! According to Shi Hu's tyrannical temper, even if it is a neglected concubine of his own, he will not allow others to bully him like this!

Therefore, it is reasonable to say that Queen Du Zhu should give Shi Min a face.

"Thank you so much. If you hadn't come to the rescue this time, I really don't know what to do. Zheng Cherry seemed to have broken her foot, and was helped by Xiao Cui, and at the same time thanked Shi Min vigorously.

Shi Min shook his head and said, "You're welcome. The harem is sinister, and the mother is still careful. I have yet to meet the king on important matters, and I have taken my leave. ”

Looking at Shi Min's distant back, Zheng Cherry was really full of emotion.

At the same time, a strange thought appeared in Zheng Cherry's heart, and when he was just helped up by Shi Min, he smelled the masculinity of the man exuding from him, it was really ...... After thinking about it, Zheng Cherry shook her head a little ashamedly, and secretly said that she was really cheap.
