Chapter 186: The Tenth Day

On the tenth day, the Ming Dynasty, inside the palace.

The day before yesterday, when the news of the Liuhe fiasco came back, Huang Xiao was stunned by the news!

Huang Xiao knew about this battle from history, but on the one hand, it was impossible to remind, and there were too many defeats like this at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

On the other hand, he felt that he had changed a lot of history, maybe this unexpected battle would not have happened, just like there was no civil unrest in Tianjin in history, and the original history was not necessarily reliable!

But the inertia of history is so great, it still makes Huang Xiao a little surprised!

In particular, there are discrepancies between the news and historical data, and nearly 800 people died in many battles! And the weapons of Rhubarb Village appeared!

These all made Huang Xiao very angry! He felt that it was precisely because of his crossing that there were so many casualties among the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty! And it's still hurt by the technology he brought himself!

It's a real irony, it's like being slapped in the face!

Zhu Youxiao was also furious, he and Huang Xiao's thoughts were very similar!

Losing the battle, this is not unusual!

Not to mention this kind of defeat on the scale of 1,000 people, it is the defeat of 100,000 people like Salhu, and Daming has not suffered it!

But the weapons of Rhubarb Village that appeared in the battle report made Zhu Youxiao unbearable!

After lunch, in the Qianqing Palace, Huang Xiao and Zhu Youxiao sat opposite each other.

"What do you think?"

Huang Xiao sneered: "The weapons of my Da Huangzhuang were only provided to the Beijing camp, and during my serious injury, Cheng Guogong reported that the troops of Tianjin Wei were defeated, and the weapons were lost a lot, and then they were replenished, right?" ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "That's right!" Today's court meeting, I also asked Cheng Guogong like this, and he denied that the weapons came out of him, and said that Ma Shilong deliberately found an excuse to cover up the defeat! The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and other ministers have seconded the proposal! ”

Zhu Youxiao stood up irritably, and said angrily: "The cabinet and even all ministries have impeached Sun Shi, Yuan Shi and Ma Shilong, and I want them to be held responsible. ”

He said with an atmosphere: "Even if Ma Shilong is at fault, what does it matter with Master Sun and Master Yuan?" I still believe that Ma Shilong will not make something out of nothing, and when Ma Shilong enters Beijing, I will see what they have to say! ”

Huang Xiao sneered and said, "Even if Ma Shilong brings the weapons we made, they will have an excuse to say!" Cheng Guogong can say that after these weapons were seized by the Tianjin Wei rebels, they were resold to Jiannu, and this matter has little to do with him? ”

Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "This is a deceitful nonsense!" Liu An has already brought back the battle report, the Tianjin Weimin chaos is vulnerable, we don't hurt a single person, the two battalions of soldiers and horses will be calmed down in one round, and not a single weapon of ours has been captured! Zhu Chunchen is such a waste! This can also be defeated! ”

Huang Xiaodao: "As long as the words can prevaricate in the past, even if it is a deceitful nonsense, doesn't the eldest brother have to listen to it?" That's the reality! Big brother, you wait, tomorrow's court meeting will definitely be more lively! Liu Ping killed so many officials and gentry in Tianjin, hehe, these ministers must be in a hurry! ”

Zhu Youxiao sat down dejectedly and said, "Don't say tomorrow, today's impeachment recitals are all piled up, but Liu Ping's matter was asked by me to do it!" They say theirs, I just don't listen! Damn these gentry! But if they give a way to live for the people, will this be the end? ”

Huang Xiaodao: "This is called self-inflicted sin and can't live, no wonder others!" These moths lying on the people to suck blood, as many as there are, you have to kill as many as you want, and you have been killing the world peacefully! In this way, we can get the support of the people, we sweep the past place by place, and we have to return a bright future! ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded heavily and said, "That's how it should be!" Big brother, I'm really annoyed by the disputes in the court, what they think with me, not together, there is no way to understand what we do, it's all for the Ming Dynasty! ”

Huang Xiaodao: "Big brother doesn't need to worry, these vested interests are safeguarding their own interests, how is Daming, and what does it have to do with them?" As long as the eldest brother is firm in his faith and unmoved, he is fine.

When our talents grow up in the future, there will be no more such things in the court! If it weren't for the lack of time, I would have liked to suggest that my eldest brother reform the imperial examination, but now I can only slowly figure it out!

There are also these people, there are not people with noble morals, Song Yingxing and Wang Zheng needless to say, didn't Zuo Guangdou change his mind? It shows that I am not alone! Such people have to be vigorously promoted! ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Serious business!" The position of the right squire of the military department, I want to let Zuo Guangdou be in charge first, and if there is time, he will be promoted! Brother Xian, what do you think of the matter of Liuhe? The blood of my Ming generals can't be shed in vain! Or die on the weapons we made! I can't swallow this breath! ”

Huang Xiao snorted and said, "I can't swallow this breath, let him Zhu Chunchen deny it in every way, if we believe it, wouldn't we be fools?" Let Lao Wei investigate this matter, as long as the evidence is in hand, the rest depends on His Majesty! It's up to Your Majesty to breathe this out! ”

Huang Xiao changed his title and looked at Zhu Youxiao.

Historically, Emperor Chongzhen entrusted Zhu Chunchen, the duke of Guchengguo, who knew that Zhu Chunchen opened Chaoyang Gate (Qihua Gate, renamed Chaoyang Gate in 1436 in the first year of Ming orthodoxy) to lead Li Zicheng into the city.

Later, he and Chen Yan, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, persuaded him to advance, both of them were tortured and plundered by Liu Zongmin, a general under Li Zicheng, Chen Yan offered 40,000 taels of silver, was released, and four days later, he was arrested again and executed! Zhu Chunchen ended up the same.

For this kind of traitor, Huang Xiao naturally hates it to the core, but this matter needs Zhu Youxiao to decide!

If it is possible, Huang Xiao naturally hopes that Zhu Youxiao can dictate the dynasty, and only in this way can he make drastic reforms!

But obviously Zhu Youxiao doesn't have the courage to do so, or he has a decision, but he has concerns in his heart, so he will take care of one or the other! This made Huang Xiao very helpless.

Zhu Youxiao invited Huang Xiao to participate in politics, but Huang Xiao pushed it, if he couldn't make an independent decision, he would be annoyed when he listened to it every day! He and those ministers couldn't pee a pot, so they simply didn't bother, which could only give Zhu Youxiao a headache.

Zhu Youxiao rubbed his forehead.

Huang Xiao asked with concern: "Big brother, are you still dizzy?" ”

"Some, sometimes a little disgusting, but nothing."

Zhu Youxiao smiled: "Life has great ups and downs, great joys and sorrows, it's really too ......, I accidentally hit my head that day, and I should be fine after a long time!" ”

Huang Xiao knew that Zhu Youxiao touched the back of his head that day, and now this situation should be a concussion.

He was moved in his heart, but at the same time a little worried, concussion can be big or small, it can be recuperated and slowly recovered, but he is afraid of bruising and causing sequelae.

It was also inconvenient for Huang Xiao to take Zhu Youxiao back to modern times to see a doctor, so he had to observe first.
