On that day, Qian Qianyi became a real eunuch!

Playing with the small sickle, Wang Li couldn't keep his mouth shut!

From now on, Liu Ru is the person of the factory!

Hahaha!

In the evening, 20 brocade guards from the West Factory set off overnight and went straight to Changshu!

That night, Qian Qianyi died because of excessive blood loss!

He didn't wait for the autumn queen's beheading, nor did he wait for Cao Huachun's intercession.

Qian Qianyi's unyielding willingness to die made Cao Huachun puzzled.

But when it came to Han Yiming's flickering words, everything made sense.

"Long live Lord, after the accident over there in Datong, Shanxi Governor Mu Zhikui settled in the Daiwang Mansion as soon as possible;

According to the servants of the royal palace, the thieves suddenly attacked while the king was traveling, and Mu Zhikui also confirmed this;

But the strange thing is that the little slave only found 3,000 taels of silver in the palace, which is really unreasonable! ”

"Long live Lord, from the matter of Qian Qianyi and Han Yiming, it can be seen that the corruption in the Ming Dynasty is already very serious! Eradicating the tumor is imminent! ”

Zhu Youzhen clenched his fists, and a trace of murderous aura flashed in his eyes: "Mu Zhikui must be thoroughly investigated!" It's up to you! ”

After giving the order, Zhu Youzhen sighed lightly: "The most suitable person is actually Wang Ergou!" It's a pity that his heart is not ruthless enough! ”

Cao Huachun nodded, and cautiously tentatively said: "The little slave thinks that the corruption of the Donglin Party can be investigated by Wei Zhongxian, and he must be very happy;

It is more appropriate to hand over the matter of the pilot collection of commercial taxes in the south to Wang Ergou! ”

"I also want to give it to Wang Ergou, but he seems to be waiting! And, I don't know what to wait for! ”

"Long live Lord, these are the four alternative era names drafted by the courtiers, please decide quickly!"

Zhu Youzhen took the booklet and frowned.

"Qiansheng?" Zhu Youzhen shook his head: "Qiannai Tian, the saint is a saint, how dare I compare with the saint of heaven and earth?" ”

"Xingfu!" Zhu Youzhen still shook his head: "The current Ming Dynasty is in short financial supply and has constant external troubles, where does the "blessing" come from?" ”

"Xianjia!" Zhu Youzhen thought about it for a long time, but still shook his head, "The right side of the salty character is a "Ge", I am afraid that it will be unlucky to use this era name!" ”

Chongzhen, Chongzhen!

Zhu Youzhen finally nodded: "The word "Chong" has the meaning of nobility and prosperity; The word "chastity" is faith and principle;

Well! This era name is good, and the pronunciation has the meaning of "revitalizing" the Ming Dynasty!

However, if "Zhen" is changed to "Zhen", it is more appropriate, and the pronunciation remains the same, but it has the meaning of God's help!

Okay, just use "Chongzhen"!

I believe that I will be able to turn evil into good fortune and revive the rivers and mountains! ”

After speaking, Prosecutor Zhu You breathed a sigh of relief, with a slight smile on his face.

So, at the beginning of the new year, the Ming Dynasty officially launched the "Chongzhen" year.

……

"Ruyan, why are you depressed during this Chinese New Year?"

"Nope!" Liu Ruyan barely squeezed out a smile: "Factory father, what do you want to eat for dinner?" I'll do it for you! ”

"That's not right! Something really is wrong with you! Wang Li looked Liu Ruyan up and down, and smiled: "What? Is the reward too small for you? ”

"Factory ......" Liu Ruyan hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "Can you take a leave?" I want to go back to Wujiang.

Yesterday, Xiaocui of Fengchen Palace brought a message, I ...... Something happened to my family......"

"Cut! What did I say upset you? Why don't you take a break! Go, go! I'll send a few brocade guards to escort you all the way, and no one dares to touch you!

By the way, can you bring your cousin back to Wujiang this time? ”

Wang Li mentioned Liu Ruis again, and Liu Ruyan was immediately happy: "Factory father, you still miss my cousin?"

If you're not a eunuch, when she grows up, I'll definitely introduce you to you! But ......"

Liu Ruyan realized that she had said the wrong thing and raised her head carefully, but Wang Li was not angry.

ordered someone to take two hundred taels of silver, and then ordered five brocade guards to escort them all the way, which moved Liu Ruyan to tears.

Seeing that the factory father was so good at talking, Xu Caifeng and Lin Xueer also tried to take leave, and Wang Li all agreed.

"Factory father, I also want to take leave......"

"You? What are you suing for? Wang Li glanced at Song Zhe and was a little angry: "The letter you sent to the Fulin Inn, did you send it?" Why hasn't there been a response? ”

"Factory father, I have already delivered it! But ......"

Song Zhe was very innocent, and Wang Li became more and more angry.

There is no surveillance of Cao Huachun and Gao Qiqian around him, but Dongchang Jinyiwei is still staring at him!

Chen Wangting had already become a wanted criminal, and Wang Li naturally didn't dare to look for him in person, so he could only ask Song Zhe to bring a letter over.

However, Chen Wangting's room did not check out, but there was no response!

Wei Zhongxian's eunuchs have a large number of members, but there are many roosters and dogs, and it is difficult to have real combat power!

Such a fish-eyed person, Wang Li really can't look down on it!

It's a pity that Zhu Kezhen and Chen Wangting, who are in good sight, have all been heard from.

In the evening, Wei Zhongxian came to visit in person.

Wang Li was still lying on the Taishi's chair and did not get up to greet him.

"Grandpa Wei, Happy New Year!"

Wei Zhongxian didn't speak, Wang Li didn't look up, but he caught a glimpse of Wei Zhongxian's face.

"Father-in-law Wei, why are you crying and sad during the New Year? Who dares to upset you? I'm going to chop him up for you, hehe! ”

"Princess! Your bad idea has made me so miserable! ”

Wei Zhongxian was about to cry, sighed, and sat beside Wang Li.

It turned out that Wei Zhongxian submitted his resignation to Zhu Youzhen in accordance with the strategy of "retreating as advance".

Zhu Youzhen did not approve it, which is expected.

However, Ke Yinyue's subsequent resignation, Zhu Youzhen waved his pen and approved it!

Zhu Youzhen's reply was very reasonable, which made Wei Zhongxian cry and laugh!

"Madame Fengsheng is the wet nurse of the former emperor, she should have left the palace twenty years ago, and living in the palace was already criticized;

I took into account the hard work of Father-in-law Wei, so I continued to keep her in the palace under the pressure of the ministers;

Today, Mrs. Fengsheng took the initiative to resign, and if I don't approve it, I can only make more people criticize;

That's why I'm in a lot of trouble! ”

Hearing Zhu Youzhen's reply, Wang Li also couldn't laugh or cry: "Father-in-law Wei, although the Lord Long Live approved Mrs. Fengsheng's resignation, he still trusts you!"

and asked you to secretly investigate the corruption of the courtiers, this is a fat difference! By the way, this ...... Are we also 55 points? ”

Divide!

I'll share your hair!

Wei Zhongxian's face was full of black lines, and he really wanted to stab Wang Li to death!

If Zhu Youxiao is still in power, this is indeed a fat difference!

But now, Wei Zhongxian is trembling all day long, how dare he shout to catch a thief?

If Zhu Youzhen regarded himself as a sharp knife, Wei Zhongxian would naturally be happy.

Even if he offended all the courtiers, Wei Zhongxian was never afraid.

However, is this Zhu Youzhen's beating?

If it's beating, do you dare to touch a piece of silver!

Today is the first day of the new year.

Wei Zhongxian's body can't take out ten pieces of silver!

He really envied Wang Li, he only raised about 600 people!

"Yuan Chonghuan quietly arrived in Beijing! He didn't go to see Banzai right away, you know? ”

"Huh! Or your East Factory is well-informed! Where does this guy live? Why didn't you see Banzai? ”

"I've been staying at the Shengjing Inn in the west of the city for two days! He may be looking at my old bottom, or he may be looking up that limerick poem! Be careful yourself! ”

"Dare to check the East Factory and the West Factory? The courage is not small! I'm going to meet him! ”

"Princess, don't you want to die?"

"I'll go! He hasn't served in Liaodong yet! Now he's just a commoner, so why meet him?

Grandpa Wei, this chair is comfortable to lie on, you can sleep first!

In the evening, let's go to Yihong Courtyard to listen to music, wait for me! ”

When the words fell, Wang Li had already strode away.

According to the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, the private contact between the Chinese courtiers and the border generals was a big taboo!

There is a suspicion of rebellion!

However, there is no taboo of "private meetings" between eunuchs and border generals.

The corners of Wei Zhongxian's mouth moved, he really wanted to see Yuan Chonghuan, he wanted to apologize to him, but he didn't dare.

"Princess! Give me a few kind words! ”

"Don't worry! Know! ”

Wang Li disappeared, Wei Zhongxian hesitated slightly, and carefully lay down on the Taishi chair.

Sure enough, it was very comfortable!

Yuan Chonghuan, forty-four years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a burly figure.

Wang Li came to visit, and he did not show surprise.

"Princess! As a eunuch, you are brilliant, Yuan admires! ”

"Oh? General Yuan, do you know I wrote it? ”

"If no one knows, they can't do it unless they do!"

"General Yuan, don't you want me to have a bowl of tea?"

"Are you worthy?"

Yuan Chonghuan showed strong hostility, Wang Li was not angry, and read the limerick poem he had changed: "The Ming Dynasty will be all over the world, and everyone can defend Liaodong!" ”

Yuan Chonghuan's fist clucked, Wang Li didn't care, boldly sat at the table, and poured himself a bowl of tea.

"General Yuan, the list of rewards for the meritorious generals of the "Ningjin Great Victory" posted all over the capital does not have my name on it, why is this? ”

Yuan Chonghuan frowned slightly, looking Wang Li up and down.

The latter smiled, and said with a straight face: "Because, I am not Wei Zhongxian's party!"

Long live the rebuilding of the West Factory, not to supervise the civil and military officials, nor to fight against the East Factory, but to ...... It has a special purpose!

General Yuan! After the edict of the Long Live Lord was issued, I waited for you for two months, and it was so hard to wait! ”

Wang Li's words successfully aroused Yuan Chonghuan's interest and made him have no doubts.

So, Yuan Chonghuan also sat at the table and glared at Wang Li coldly: "Yuan doesn't like to beat around the bush!" Something to say! ”

This tone is still lukewarm, but there is a lot less resistance and resistance.

"General Yuan, on the first line of Guan Ningjin, our army only has 120 Hongyi cannons! Right? Do you think it's enough? Are the projectiles enough?

What is the performance of the Hongyi cannon imitated by the Ordnance Bureaus in various places? Is it easy to use?

Did you know that Portugal has a longer range and more lethal Franc machine? ”

The "Hongyi Cannon" in Wang Li's mouth, known as the "Franc Machine" cannon abroad, is a front-loading cannon, developed in Europe.

After the "Longqing switch", Daming sold the goods abroad, and also bought back a batch of Francophone cannons from the Netherlands and Portugal.

In fact, the principle of the Hongyi cannon is not complicated, and several domestic weapons bureaus are copying it.

It's a pity that the cast iron process may not be as good as that of Europe, and the performance of the imitation cannon is very poor, far less than that of foreign imports.

When Wang Li mentioned the cannon, he simply said that Yuan Chonghuan's heart was in his heart!

On the front line of Liaodong, the Ming army, which was dominated by foot soldiers, almost did not dare to fight with the Houjin army!

Although the Guanning Iron Cavalry is strong, it costs a lot of money and the number is too small!

How can the 6,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry fight against the powerful Eight Banners Cavalry?

Therefore, in the Liaodong battlefield at this time, the Ming army could only rely on the strong city and resist the Eight Banners Army with cannons, muskets and bows and arrows.

"General Yuan! I have a way to increase the number of artillery in the Liaodong Army by five times in two years! The number of muskets has increased twenty times! The number of Guanning Iron Cavalry has increased to more than 20,000!

At the same time, the annual salary of the Liaodong Army has increased to four million!

And, never in arrears!

If you don't like it, the Liaodong Army can do without eunuchs to supervise the army!

Are you interested, listen to me continue? ”
