Chapter 64: Zhu Youxiao doesn't need to crook his neck!

It's just that until Luo Yangxing left far away, Xu Xianchun was still looking at his back, and his eyes showed a bit of meaning.

This Luo Yang is a talent!

It's just that everyone knew privately before that Tian Ergeng didn't like this Luo Yang very much.

The reason is very simple, because this Luo Yang is the son of Luo Sigong, the former commander of the Jinyi Guard.

For various reasons, in fact, Luo Sigong and the eunuchs have never been able to pee in a pot.

Although it is not said that the other party is the Donglin Party, but the other party is not close to the Eunuch Party, this is a certain fact.

Otherwise, in history, it would not have been just four years after the Apocalypse, Luo Sigong had already resigned from his position as the commander of the Jinyi Guard in the name of recuperation, and stayed at home all the time.

What year is the fourth year of the Apocalypse?

That is the year when the eunuchs came to power in full swing and the eunuch ministers occupied the entire cabinet.

And Luo Sigong's body, in fact, is not a big problem.

After all, in history, he lived until the thirteenth year of Chongzhen.

That's a full seventeen years of difference.

In the past, Tian Ergeng was a complete eunuch, so Luo Yangxing, as Luo Sigong's son, was naturally not very well treated by Tian Ergeng.

It's just that the situation is different now, and now His Majesty intends to separate Jinyiwei from the eunuch party, so that Jinyiwei will be directly under His Majesty's own jurisdiction.

It is conceivable that if Tian Ergeng really wants to be independent, then he needs a lot of talented Jinyi Guard officers.

And it's best that these people shouldn't have had much to do with the eunuchs before.

And Luo Yangxing happens to be such a person, so he will inevitably be reused.

As Luo Yangxing disappeared from his gaze, Xu Xianchun also sighed and sank back into the affairs of the recruits.

He always had a feeling that although he still had the position of a fellow intellectual, it was very likely that he would not be able to return to Jinyiwei in his life.

Perhaps such a new army is his future destination.

After the morning training, these recruits do not need to participate in the afternoon training.

It's not that Zhu Youxiao feels sorry for them, it's just that the health of these homeless people is too poor to accept high-intensity training for the time being.

They let the recruits have to raise them for at least ten days and half a month before they slowly raised the intensity of this training.

After all, the nutrition of these soldiers has not kept up, which is a thing that cannot be ignored.

If these soldiers had been trained at high intensity at the beginning, it would not have been long before they were gone.

Zhu Youxiao's warrior battalion, compared to the other armies of the Ming Dynasty, can barely be said to be elite?

But the Warriors were only able to do it every two days.

Of course, the matter of doing it every two days is absolutely unacceptable to Zhu Youxiao.

That's why he spent a lot of money and even bought meat for these New Army soldiers to eat, at least every day to ensure that it was their meat meal.

Only when nutrition keeps up can we ensure that the soldiers of the new army go out for exercises every day.

At the same time, in addition to the training of these soldiers, the 20,000 homeless people recruited by Zhu Youxiao as miners were also concentrated.

A eunuch came out of the palace, and he also brought a group of miscellaneous servants from Dongchang, leading these homeless people to the direction of Xishan.

After these displaced people were recruited, they had been eating and drinking for nothing, and it was time for them to work.

Zhu Youxiao's money bag, but it all depends on them!

And they went to the West Mountain for the first mission. He immediately cut down the crooked-necked tree on the western mountain and exterminated him.

He Zhu Youxiao doesn't need to crook his neck tree!

He doesn't hang this southeast branch!

The displaced people have been digging into the ground, and these places have obviously been planned for them by Zhu Youxiao himself.

Since the homeless people eat Zhu Youxiao's, use Zhu Youxiao's, and wear Zhu Youxiao's, then they have to work for Zhu Youxiao.

They began to dig and dig deeper, and they dug all morning, and nothing came out.

At this time, the displaced people had already discussed it in private, and there was a little complaint on their faces.

"It's so tiring to do this job, my underwear is wet."

"But shut up, if you don't have this kind of work, I will see how you live this winter, it is not all dependent on Your Majesty's kindness, now Your Majesty will let us do whatever we do, what is there to say about this."

"Hey, old man Zhang, what you said, I don't have a complaint against Your Majesty, I just don't understand, what are we doing here?"

"I listened to the fathers-in-law discuss a few words, saying that there are treasures underground."

Hearing this, the others laughed.

There is no treasure under this earth.

"Although I am not a local, I have also heard that this place is a place where crops do not grow, and what treasures are there underground?"

"If there really is any treasure in this place, Lao Tzu will poop upside down to show you."

"You said it yourself, we didn't force you."

"Don't say any more, the father-in-law over there is coming with a whip."

They looked up, and sure enough, they saw a eunuch on the other side, walking towards them with a whip.

The exiles hurriedly got to work, not daring to let the eunuchs hear their gossip without a king and a father.

In fact, the eunuchs and people in Dongchang in this palace were also very puzzled.

They don't know what the hell they're doing here.

In particular, some eunuchs heard the miners' discussions, and they also recognized it very much.

Your Majesty can't be suffering from some kind of hysteria, right?

What good things can be on this West Mountain?

If there was really something good, then for many years, it should have been discovered by others, which turn would have to come to His Majesty to find someone to dig it up?

I thought so, but the eunuchs didn't dare to show it.

In the palace, the most important thing at that time was to know what to say and what not to say.

In a situation like the one in the palace, if you say the wrong thing, you will be killed.

For the eunuchs, all of them were untrustworthy.

Because a person who was very close just now, he couldn't say that he could sell them if he changed his face.

When the sky gradually darkened, the leading eunuch had to sigh.

"It seems that I can't dig up anything today!"

He stood up and stretched, just about to shout to call the team back.

Who knew that there was a shout from the field, "Come out!" I dug it out! There is coal under the ground. ”

It is the earliest in the world for Chinese to use coal and has a long history.

"Hanshu Geographical Chronicles" said: "Yuzhang County produces stones, which can be burned for wages." ”

Yuzhang County is near Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, and the combustible stone mentioned here is actually coal.

Marco Polo, an Italian who came to work in China in the Yuan Dynasty, wrote a "Travelogue" after returning to China.

In that book, there is a black stone in China that burns like firewood, and the fire is stronger than firewood, and it burns from night to the next morning.

And the price of this black stone is cheaper than firewood, so the Europeans praised coal as a anecdote.

They did not start coking until the 18th century, more than 500 years later than China.
