Chapter 216 Is my Butcher Knife Unfavorable! 【order】
Yue Buqun was about to speak, when suddenly there was an explosion in the distance, and a firework exploded in the air.
Hearing the explosion and the fireworks in the air, Yue Buqun, Gu Yuzhang and the others all changed their expressions, especially Gu Yuzhang said in a low voice: "No, brothers are under attack."
Without Gu Yuzhang opening his mouth, Yue Buqun could hear that the explosion just now was Jin Yiwei's distress call.
"go!"
Almost without thinking, Yue Buqun turned around and left. As for the matter that these officials used bad food instead of relief food to help the victims, I'm afraid it can only be dealt with later.
Without Yue Buqun's instructions, Gu Yuzhang and the others followed Yue Buqun and left at a very fast speed.
The guards and the officials who gave the porridge also looked at the exploding fireworks in the distance in astonishment, and then looked at Yue Buqun and the others who left. What the hell is going on here.
However, it was said that Feng Qingyang settled in the residence of the disciples of Feng Buping Huashan Sword Sect, and he had the healing elixir provided by Feng Buping. Without traveling all the way, Feng Qingyang recovered from his injuries extremely quickly.
On this day, Feng Buping walked to a wooden house with a look of excitement on his face, and reached out to knock on the wooden house.
Soon a clear voice came from the cabin: "Come in."
Feng Buping immediately walked into the wooden house, saluted Feng Qingyang and said, "Uncle Feng."
Feng Qingyang, who was wearing a green shirt, had recovered from his injuries at this time, and was looking at Feng Buping with a smile.
Seeing the smile on Feng Qingyang's face, Feng Buping's heart suddenly moved, he looked at Feng Qingyang with some joy and said in a trembling voice: "Uncle Feng, has your injury healed?"
Feng Qingyang nodded slightly and said: "It's just a mere injury, the old man just needs to recuperate for a few days, and he will recover naturally."
As he said that, Feng Qingyang looked at Feng Buping and said, "I asked you to inquire about the news about Yue Buqun and others, have you inquired clearly?"
Hearing this, Feng Buping hurriedly said: "Return to Master Uncle, we have already found out."
Feng Qingyang immediately said: "Quickly tell me, where is Yue Buqun's bastard now?"
Feng Buping said in a deep voice: "Uncle Feng, not long ago, news came from our disciples that they found news about Yue Buqun in Xi'an Mansion."
Feng Qingyang couldn't help but looked at Feng Buping and nodded slightly: "That's right, I did drag Yue Buqun and his group in Xi'an Mansion back then, but I didn't expect that they were still in Xi'an Mansion."
Feng Buping said solemnly: "Uncle Feng, somehow Yue Buqun has become an official of the Thousand Households Office in Shaanxi. It seems that he has been appointed by the Emperor Dog and is supervising the relief of victims in Shaanxi. .”
A trace of anger flashed across Feng Qingyang's face and said: "What a wicked person, he climbed fast enough, he became a thousand households of Jinyiwei so quickly, but no matter how he climbed up, he was still an eagle dog of the imperial court, who was used as a dog for people If you don't kill this evil, my Huashan School's reputation for hundreds of years will be ruined by him."
Feng Buping said seriously: "What Master Uncle said is that if Yue Buqun is not dead, our Huashan School will be discredited and ridiculed by the people in Jianghu."
Feng Qingyang flicked his long sleeves, and said with a bit of evil spirit: "Call the disciples of Jianzong, and follow the old man to kill Yue Buqun."
Speaking of Feng Qingyang, he wanted to go out.
But Feng Buping hesitated for a moment, with a worried look on his face.
Feng Qingyang, who walked to the door, noticed Feng Buping's expression and reacted, and couldn't help but frowned, looked at Feng Buping and said, "What's the matter, don't you want to kill Yue Buqun?"
Feng Buping shook his head, looked at Feng Qingyang and said, "Master Feng, let's just break into Xi'an Fucheng and go to the yamen of the Jinyiwei Qianhu Office to find Yue Buqun?"
Feng Qingyang looked at Feng Buping in surprise and said, "Why, if you don't go to Jinyiwei Qianhu and kill Yue Buqun, where else can you go?"
Feng Buping smiled wryly and said, "Uncle Feng, that is the prefectural city of Xi'an, and the Jinyiwei Thousand Households is the site of Jinyiwei. Although there are many disciples of our Sword Sect, we really want to kill them in the prefectural city. That Yue Buqun, not to mention whether the guards in Jinyi will be desperate, even the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in the prefecture will come to rescue immediately. Even if we can kill Yue Buqun by then, I am afraid that my disciples of the Sword Sect will suffer heavy casualties. .”
Feng Qingyang frowned, looked at Feng Buping and said, "In my opinion, what should I do?"
Feng Buping said: "Didn't Yue Buqun become a high-ranking official of Jinyiwei? He wants to patrol the area. As long as we wait until Yue Buqun leaves Fucheng and leaves Xi'an Fucheng, we can ambush him on the way. To kill him, Yue Buqun, is naturally not difficult."
Feng Qingyang thought of the fact that he was almost ambushed and killed by Jin Yiwei's people in order to kill Yue Buqun, so he naturally knew what Feng Buping said was reasonable, so he nodded slightly at Feng Buping and said: "Okay, send someone immediately Keep an eye on Yue Buqun, as soon as Yue Buqun leaves the city, we will go and ambush him."
Outside Lantian County
Dozens of Jinyi Guards dressed in regular clothes said that they didn't make much fanfare because Yue Buqun didn't want to attract attention, but these Jin Yiwei still carried strong crossbows, embroidered spring knives and other things.
At this time, more than a dozen figures were rushing to kill among these brocade guards with long swords in their hands.
Sword lights flashed one after another, bringing up a bloody glow.
Fortunately, there are still a few second-rate experts among these Jinyiwei, who are fighting with those who rushed into the Jinyiwei team.
Needless to say, these people were Feng Qingyang and a dozen or so Huashan Sword Sect disciples.
Yue Buqun left Xi'an Fucheng, and the Huashan Sword Sect disciples who had been watching Yue Buqun's whereabouts immediately sent back the news.
After getting the news, Feng Qingyang and Feng Buping immediately brought a group of Jianzong's disciples to attack and kill Yue Buqun.
It's just that because Yue Buqun and the others were on the go and their whereabouts were uncertain, by the time Feng Qingyang and Feng Buping found Yue Buqun's team, they were already outside Lantian County.
That is to say, on a whim, Yue Buqun saw the situation of relief for the victims in Lantian County, and wanted to see the situation of relief for the victims, so he let the people of Jinyiwei stay at a distance, otherwise, Feng Qingyang and the others wanted to block Yue Without a group of people, I am afraid it will take a while.
When Huashan Sword Sect's disciples rushed out suddenly, they only caught Jin Yiwei's people by surprise, and several Jin Yiwei were killed on the spot.
Especially Cong Buqi and Cheng Buyou are top-notch fighters, their swords are radiant and murderous, and there is no one in Jin Yiwei who is their opponent.
Feng Buping frowned and said, "There is no Yue Buqun among these people?"
Feng Qingyang looked at the fireworks that suddenly exploded in the air, the fireworks were so familiar, it was just such a firework that exploded back then, Feng Qingyang waited for Jin Yiwei's help.
So now when he saw the fireworks again, Feng Qingyang smiled slightly and said, "No hurry, Yue Buqun will appear soon."
While he was talking, he saw a few figures in the distance rushing towards them at an extremely fast speed, and the leader was either Yue Buqun or someone else.
From a distance, Yue Buqun saw more than a dozen figures rushing to kill among the Jin Yiwei. Even though these Jin Yiwei were carefully selected by him, the only ones who were killed were those who fought back. There were even more than a dozen figures on the ground. corpse.
Before rushing to the front, Yue Buqun couldn't help but stop, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
Because at this time Yue Buqun saw a familiar figure, and that figure was also looking at him.
Gu Yuzhang, who was following Yue Buqun, was taken aback when he saw Yue Buqun suddenly stop in his tracks, and said doubtfully, "My lord, you are..."
Gu Yuzhang couldn't help but be puzzled, the brother in front was being killed, and Yue Buqun, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, suddenly stopped.
Yue Buqun ignored Gu Yuzhang, but stared at that figure, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Feng Qingyang!"
Feng Qingyang, who was wearing a green shirt, was walking towards Yue Buqun slowly, holding a sword in his hand, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Yue Buqun, I can't think of it, I want to see today, who will can save you."
Yue Buqun woke up from the initial shock, and his eyes fell on Feng Buping, Cong Buqi, Cheng Buyou and others. There was a faint look of doubt in his eyes, obviously he didn't quite understand the wind. Where did Qingyang find these helpers?
The most important thing is that Yue Buqun felt that these people gave him a sense of familiarity, especially those who were fighting with Jin Yiwei in the distance said that they were clearly using their Huashan swordsmanship.
"You... who are you?"
Needless to say, what Yue Buqun asked was Feng Buping.
Although Feng Buping, Cong Buqi, and Cheng Buyou were also Huashan disciples in the past, decades have passed, and Feng Buping has changed a lot. Can't really recognize a few people.
Feng Buping took a step forward, stared at Yue Buqun and sneered, "Yue Buqun, do you still remember Jianzong Feng Buping?"
Cheng Buyou laughed loudly and said, "Jianzong Cheng Buyou."
Cong Buqi stared at Yue Buqun with his blood-stained sword in his hand and said coldly: "Jian Zong Cong Buqi"
Yue Buqun narrowed his eyes, and suddenly realized, he took a deep breath and said, "Okay, okay, it really is you remnants of the Sword Sect, so you were the ones who killed Huashan and my Huashan disciples not long ago. .”
Apparently, when he saw Feng Buping, Cong Buqi, Cheng Buyou and the dozen or so disciples of the Huashan Sword Sect, Yue Buqun directly regarded Feng Buping and the others as the group of Hebei Sanxiong who killed Huashan not long ago. .
Because they happened to be right, they were all three first-class masters, and with the grievances between Jianzong and Qizong, in Yue Buqun's view, Feng Buping just saw that the Huashan faction did not have him in charge, and he was against the Huashan authentic sect. The heart of coveting was born, so he took the opportunity to kill Huashan.
When Yue Buqun's words came out, Feng Buping and the others were taken aback. They really had never been to Mount Hua, but seeing the hatred flashing in Yue Buqun's eyes, Feng Buping and the others just snorted coldly and did not try to defend themselves. mean.
In Yue Buqun's eyes, their reaction became a kind of default.
But at this moment Feng Qingyang said calmly: "Okay, kill Yue Buqun today, Feng will take you to take over the Huashan faction, and then Huashan will be handed over to you to carry forward."
As he spoke, Feng Qingyang strode towards Yue Buqun with a long sword in his hand.
Gu Yuzhang's hairs stood on end, and he stared at the few people opposite him with great vigilance. In fact, the few people opposite him gave him a sense of crisis.
Yue Buqun shouted with a long roar, "Everyone flee separately."
With Feng Qingyang, Feng Buping and those Jianzong disciples, Yue Buqun knew very well that even if everyone rushed forward to fight, they would not be opponents.
In the current situation, the only option is to escape a few.
A stern look flashed across Gu Yuzhang's eyes, and he stared fixedly at Feng Qingyang, how could he not see that Feng Qingyang's target was Yue Buqun.
The most important thing is that this old man brought him the most pressure, as if he might die in the opponent's hands at any time.
"My lord, this subordinate will cut off the heir for you!"
Thinking that he was valued by Yue Buqun and promoted to the official of Jinyiwei Hundred Households, Gu Yuzhang obviously wanted to stop him for Yue Buqun.
Gu Yuzhang thought that with his own strength, he might not be the opponent of the opponent, but it would be no problem to block the opponent for a while and buy time for Yue Buqun. When the time comes, as long as Yue Buqun escapes, he can get away.
Yue Buqun glanced at Gu Yuzhang and shouted in a deep voice: "Feng Qingyang is the number one sword master in the world, I'm afraid you won't be able to do a few tricks under him, so hurry up."
Speaking of which, Yue Buqun jumped up, turned directly onto the horse, and then stabbed the horse's butt with a sword, and the horse neighed immediately, like an arrow flying out of the string.
Gu Yuzhang narrowed his eyes, and also turned around and left.
Feng Qingyang was taken aback for a moment, then he came to his senses, looked at Yue Buqun running away and sneered, "Want to run away?"
The next moment, he saw Feng Qingyang's figure was erratic, and with one step, he ran for Yue Buqun to catch up with a distance of several zhang.
Capital
On the Dajiao Field in the suburbs of Beijing, the last battalion of the [-]th Regiment Battalion, the National Bravery Battalion
Thousands of soldiers stood silently on the school grounds, on the high platform, large boxes were placed there one by one, and these boxes were opened, revealing the white silver in them.
Counting 10 taels of silver were piled up in front of thousands of soldiers. Under the shining of the sun, the glistening silver dazzled the eyes.
Many people were even more dazzled and swallowed wildly.
Although these days, the twelfth regiment battalion eliminated the old and the weak one by one, Li Huan, the admiral of the Beijing camp, personally sat down to distribute the money.
This news has already been known to everyone in the [-]th Regiment Battalion, but it is unbelievable that they have not seen the money in vain.
But seeing so much money with my own eyes now, I was apprehensive at first. I believed the news that the imperial court would eliminate the old and the weak and distribute 50 taels of dismissal silver to each person.
There are more than a dozen figures standing behind Li Huan, among them are the British Duke Zhang Lun, Cheng Guogong Zhu Fu, and the elite children of various honorable families who showed their talents in the Li Mansion, such as Zhu Shuo, Chen Guo, etc. Ang, Xu Ying, Guo Xun and others.
If you look carefully, you will find that around the big school field, teams of elite soldiers stand standing with sharp weapons. They are the soldiers of Zhenwei Camp that Li Huan cleaned up first.
After being cleared by Li Huan, there were 1 people registered in the Zhenwei Camp, but in fact there were only 800 old and weak. After some elimination, only [-] elites remained.
These two thousand and 800 people are all strong and strong men, which can be said to be the real essence of the entire Zhenwei camp, especially after Li Huan equipped these elites with armor and weapons, they already have a bit of an elite look.
Under the strict restraint and training of the commanders Ren Ping and Guan Zheng, the Zhenwei Battalion has undergone a radical change. These days, Li Huan is relying on the Zhenwei Battalion to frighten many young men in the [-]th Regiment Battalion, and orderly weed out the [-]th Battalion. The battalion is old and weak.
Perhaps some veterans were very dissatisfied with being eliminated from the Beijing camp. If Li Huan hadn't spent a lot of money to dispel these people's dissatisfaction, even if the Zhenwei camp was there to frighten them, he would still be there. There was a mutiny under the instigation and instigation of some people with good intentions behind their backs.
But when the white money is in hand, and there is an elite army in charge, except for a few prostitutes, no one has any dissatisfaction with most of the old and weak who have been eliminated.
In particular, Li Huan also secretly dispatched Jin Yiwei's capable men to stare at the top and bottom of the Beijing camp, and cleanly eradicated some of the low-level generals who were cleared out of the Beijing camp and tried to secretly link up.
Several waves of small-scale military disturbances were suppressed, but there were no major disturbances. Under the astonished and disbelieving gazes of all the officials, it took Li Huan Leng less than a month to complete the confrontation. The elimination of Beijing camp.
Originally there were more than 20 Jingying soldiers on the roster, but after some elimination, there were only more than [-] elite soldiers left.
Compared with the more than 20 troops of the Beijing camp, 3 horses seem to be very few at once, but these 20 are the real elite. After reorganization, the combat effectiveness of the [-] army will definitely exceed the previous so-called army of more than [-].
Now the National Bravery Battalion is the last of the [-]th Regiment Battalion that is about to be eliminated and reorganized.
Following Li Huan's order, hundreds of clerks lined up, and according to the re-counted roster, they began to distribute silver taels one by one to eliminate the old and the weak.
When many gray-haired veterans were holding dozens of taels of silver in both hands, their faces showed disbelief and surprise.
Because of the precedent, the progress of eliminating the National Bravery Battalion was very smooth, but it took only half a day. After the National Bravery Battalion, which had a nominally 1 people, distributed about 30 taels of silver, the school grounds There are less than 3000 left.
These nearly 3000 people are all able-bodied men between the ages of 16 and 30, which can be regarded as the last essence of the National Bravery Camp.
Seeing Chen Ang and Xu Ying, who had been appointed by Li Huan as the commander of the capital, stepped forward to take over the soldiers of the National Bravery Battalion, Li Huan let out a sigh of relief.
There was a bit of a smile on the corner of his mouth, he looked at Zhang Lun, Zhu Fu and the others, arched his hands slightly and said: "Masters and Lords, these days are all due to you sitting in town, so that everything can go smoothly."
Zhang Lun, Zhu Fu and the others kept being modest and did not dare to claim credit. They have seen clearly these days. Although they said that they were in charge of rectifying the Beijing camp, it was true that some generals related to them were prevented from causing trouble, but the real credit was not On Li Huan.
If it wasn't for Li Huan taking out a lot of money and distributing the dismissal money truthfully to those old and weak who were eliminated, and calming down the resentment in the hearts of these soldiers, if it wasn't for Li Huan secretly suppressing dozens of low-level generals in the Beijing camp with Jin Yiwei All kinds of connections to be made, just relying on their noble prestige, it is impossible to complete the reorganization of the Beijing camp so smoothly.
At this moment Feng Yongbang strode over, holding a roster in his hand, and said to Li Huan, "I have seen the governor."
Li Huan nodded slightly and said, "How's the statistics going?"
Feng Yongbang said with a smile: "Back to the governor, all the twelve regiments and battalions have been eliminated. After the reorganization, there are a total of 240 soldiers left, a total of 650 old and weak, and 430 and eight low-level generals. , and distributed severance money, including middle and low-level generals, a total of 4508 million taels."
Although Zhang Lun, Zhu Fu and others who stood aside said that they already knew that for the reorganization of the Beijing camp this time, the emperor's internal treasury was completely open to Li Huan, and all the money needed was taken from the emperor's internal treasury.
However, Zhang Lun, Zhu Fu and others still couldn't help but show horror when they suddenly heard that 460 million taels of silver had been spent.
That's millions of taels of silver, which is almost equivalent to the tax income of the Ming Dynasty for one year.
Take out one year's tax income to complete the restructuring of the Beijing camp, a stubborn cancer of the Ming Dynasty. Looking at the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Li Huan and Zhu Houzhao, a pair of monarchs and ministers, really did it.
For a moment, Zhang Lun, Zhu Fu and others all looked at Li Huan with complicated expressions.
You must know that at the beginning, almost no one was optimistic about Li Huan's ability to do this.
However, standing here now, looking at the remaining less than 1 elite soldiers in the National Bravery Camp on the school field, although the number is too small, compared with more than [-] people, less than [-]% are left, but that With an imposing manner and a renewed mental outlook, even they can see that the remaining soldiers are all soldiers who are truly worthy of a battle.
Thinking of his own children in these days, all those who were approved by Li Huan were arranged by Li Huan into the capital camp after elimination.
Although it is said that Li Huan offended many nobles by clearing a large number of corpses and low-level generals with no ability out of the capital camp, Li Huan also accepted many real elite children from noble families into the army, which can be regarded as Appeased the dissatisfaction of some nobles.
In addition, Li Huan also asked the emperor to reopen the martial arts, and set the date of martial arts to be in the spring of next year. The martial arts that have been suspended for many years in Ming Dynasty will start again, and the promotion channel for low-level warriors will be opened. The children of the bottom military households who have no chance to see and hear about the emperor will usher in a spring.
Because Li Huanzuo asked to reopen the martial arts, not only children from civilian families are eligible to participate, but even children from military households are eligible to participate.
You must know that in the past martial arts were generally rejected by the children of general families, so that even if many children from military families had enough force and ability, they could only be ordinary soldiers in the local guards. An unknown leader who can't even support his family.
Li Huan believed that in the spring of next year, when the martial arts exams are held, the warriors all over the world will be excited about it. He wonders how many available talents will be selected for Ming Dynasty.
Qianqing Palace
When Li Huan walked into Qianqing Palace with a thick stack of Beijing camp rosters, Zhu Houzhao, who had already received the news, was looking expectantly at Li Huan who walked in.
Looking at Li Huan, Zhu Houzhao said in a trembling voice with a bit of excitement on his face, "Li Qing, is it done?"
Li Huan nodded heavily at Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao's face suddenly burst into an excited smile, and he couldn't help walking around and laughing loudly: "Okay, okay, the stubborn disease of the Beijing camp has finally been solved in my hands."
Speaking of which, Zhu Houzhao stepped forward and pulled Li Huan, let Li Huan sit down and said, "Tell me quickly."
Li Huan straightened his expression, and gave Zhu Houzhao the details of the rectification of the Beijing camp.
Finally, Li Huan looked at Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, after the elimination of the Beijing Camp, there are still more than [-] people left, but I assure you that these [-] people are all elites. With a little training, they will be a team that dares to fight." division, its combat strength far exceeds that of the previous Beijing battalion."
When Zhu Houzhao heard that the Beijing Camp had eliminated more than 8 old, weak, sick and disabled, he couldn't help but sighed: "Although I knew that the Beijing Camp had been corrupted for a long time, and there were more than 20 people in the Beijing Camp in name, there were only four in the end." There are more than [-] usable divisions, and the imperial court spends at least a million taels of silver every year to support this large army."
Li Huan coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, this time, in order to weed out the old and the weak, I spent a total of 460 million taels of silver."
Zhu Houzhao suddenly swallowed with a grunt, obviously surprised by this large sum of money, but soon Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay, it's a sum of money to be able to reorganize the Beijing camp. I am willing to spend money."
Speaking of which, Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Huan and said with a smile: "Besides, you got all the money from Li Qing. In this way, there will be two or three million taels left in my internal treasury. I'm still Earn it."
Li Huan said solemnly: "Your Majesty, it's not just two or three million taels. If I'm not mistaken, there will be at least tens of millions of taels in your majesty's internal treasury."
Zhu Houzhao, who had just taken a sip of tea, almost spit out the tea when he heard the words, and looked at Li Huan in astonishment, his face full of puzzlement.
Even Qiu Ju, who was serving at the side, opened his eyes wide, wouldn't bullying him and the emperor settle accounts?
Although it is said that the millions of taels of silver shipped from Fujian not long ago have been put into the internal treasury, but in total, the sum of the three confiscated large sums of gold and silver is only about 1000 million taels.
In order to repair the river, Zhu Houzhao took out 300 million taels of silver, and Li Huan spent nearly 500 million taels to eliminate the Beijing camp. No matter how you calculate, there are only 300 million taels left in the internal treasury. Where did ten million taels come from?
Li Huan smiled lightly, and a stern look flashed in his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, don't forget that the trial of the treason case is almost over, and those confirmed officials and nobles are about to be beheaded and ransacked their homes."
Hearing what Li Huan said, Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Chasing the house."
Li Huan nodded and said: "That's right, Your Majesty thinks how much gold and silver can be confiscated by nearly a hundred officials and honorable families involved in the treason case?"
Zhu Houzhao thought for a while, glanced at Li Huan and said, "Does Li Qing think that nearly ten million taels of gold and silver can be confiscated this time?"
Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao first became short of breath, and then showed a bit of anger on his face.
If it is true as Li Huan said, nearly a hundred officials confiscated tens of millions of taels of gold and silver at once, Zhu Houzhao was shocked, and a kind of grief and indignation arose in his heart. Such a big net worth.
Seeing the change in Zhu Houzhao's expression, Li Huan could probably guess what the emperor was thinking, and comforted Zhu Houzhao with a sigh: "As long as your majesty is a wise king, there will be fewer and fewer corrupt officials in the world, and the lives of the people will be much easier."
Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath, looked at Li Huan with a bit of brilliance in his eyes, and said, "I will be a good emperor. I dare not say that I will wipe out corrupt officials in Daming, but I will do my best to benefit the people and rejuvenate my Daming."
Speaking of which, Zhu Hou looked at Li Huan and said, "Li Qing, are you willing to help me?"
Li Huan nodded and said: "It is my honor to be able to create a prosperous Ming Dynasty with His Majesty."
I don't know what he thought of, Zhu Houzhao suddenly sighed softly, his face was full of worry, and said: "The disaster in Shaanxi, the money and food from the imperial court should have arrived at the place now, and I don't know if the local government has started to help the victims."
Zhu Hou took a look at Li Huan and said, "Li Qing, do you think those people, facing so much money and food, can they really control their greed and not do anything? I only hope that they can spend most of the money and food on If the people don’t let my people starve to death or freeze to death, even if they are really greedy, for the sake of their dedication to helping the victims, I will admit it, but can they?”
Li Huan sighed softly, obviously the emperor had no confidence in the local officials in Shaanxi officialdom.
However, Li Huan could only comfort him: "Your Majesty, don't worry, there are three divisions and the inspector censor, no matter how greedy those officials are, they should restrain themselves. Besides, there are Jin Yiwei watching from the side."
Zhu Houzhao was shocked when he heard the words: "Yes, I still have Jinyiwei, Li Qing, you must always keep an eye on the news from Shaanxi, but if you have any news, you must tell me as soon as possible."
After leaving the imperial city, the sky was already a little dizzy, Li Huan was heading towards Maoyan Lane, when suddenly two horses came galloping in front of him.
Li Huan didn't have the habit of sitting in a sedan chair or a carriage. He rode the imperial horse bestowed by the emperor as usual. He heard the sound from a distance, and followed the sound, and saw two royal guards galloping towards him on horseback.
The one on the horse is none other than Chen Yao and Feng Yongguo.
The two were Li Huan's confidantes, and now the two came galloping, which made Li Huan's heart skip a beat. Could it be that something happened to the Jinyiwei Yamen?
While Li Huan was thinking in his heart, Feng Yongguo and Chen Yao, who were flying over, obviously saw Li Huan.
When they saw Li Huan, they both showed surprise on their faces.
They knew that Li Huan had entered the palace to meet the emperor, so they walked along the long street to the direction of the imperial city. Even if they didn't meet Li Huan on the way, they could still wait outside the palace gate for Li Huan to come out.
Seeing Li Huan now, he was naturally very excited and hurried forward.
Li Huan stopped the imperial horse under him, and Feng Yongguo and Chen Yao stepped forward immediately.
Li Huan looked at Feng Yongguo and Chen Yao and asked, "What's the matter?"
Chen Yao's expression became serious and he said, "My lord, Qian Ning, deputy Qianhu of Shanxi Jinyiwei Qianhu Office, has sent urgent news that Yue Buqun suddenly disappeared three days ago."
"What? Yue Buqun is missing?"
We must know that a few days ago, there was news from the Shaanxi Thousand Households Office, saying that Yue Buqun had received the news and officially took over the Shaanxi Thousand Households Office.
But now there is news from Qian Ning that Yue Buqun is missing, how can this not be shocking.
Shaanxi is Huashan's territory, and it is considered Lao Yue's own territory. In Shaanxi, with Yue's extraordinary ability, how could he disappear.
But this news came from Jin Yiwei again. If it is said that Yue Buqun is really missing, it is absolutely impossible for Qian Ning to send such news.
With a flash of thought, Li Huan immediately galloped towards the Jinyiwei Yamen and said, "Let's go back to the Yamen."
In the Jinyiwei yamen
Li Huan sat there, looking at the urgent confidential letter.
Looking at the secret letter, Li Huan finally understood what was going on.
It clearly stated that Yue Buqun brought dozens of Jinyi Guards on the way to Mount Hua, but was suddenly attacked and killed by a group of people led by Feng Qingyang, Yue Buqun ordered the Jinyi Guards to flee separately.
Gu Yuzhang, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, was seriously injured and brought the news back to the thousand households of Jinyiwei. Qian Ning immediately sent someone to search for Yue Buqun's whereabouts, but there was no news at all.
Li Huan tapped lightly on the table with one hand, Li Huan was really surprised that Feng Qingyang found a group of people who were able to attack and kill Yue Buqun and dozens of Jin Yiwei.
If there was no group of people to help Feng Qingyang block the Jinyiwei people, relying on Yue Buqun's strength, plus dozens of Jinyiwei, Feng Qingyang would not dare to kill Yue Buqun so openly .
Of course, the secret letter contained not only the news of Yue Buqun's being attacked and disappeared, but also the many inside stories that Qian Ning disclosed about the relief of the people by the local government in Shaanxi.
Seeing how the local officials reported by Qian Ning were shoddy and greedy for food and money to help the victims, Li Huan couldn't help showing a sneer, and he exuded a murderous intent.
In the lobby, Chen Yao, Zhao Yi, Chen Ke, Feng Yongguo, Du Guang and others felt the murderous intent pervading Li Huan's body change slightly.
With a bang, Li Huan slapped the table with his palm, and said with an angry smile: "Okay, very good, it seems that His Majesty and I have really overestimated the bottom line of these people."
Speaking of which, Li Huan got up suddenly, and while walking outside, he said: "Chen Yao, immediately send me [-] elite Jinyi guards to be on standby at any time."
Chen Yao stood up in a solemn voice: "This subordinate takes orders."
At the same time, Li Huan said to Feng Yongguo: "Feng Baihu, you go and order Zhenwei Battalion Commander Ren Ping and Guan Zheng to gather their troops immediately and wait for orders at any time."
Feng Yongguo said solemnly: "This subordinate takes orders."
After speaking, Li Huan's figure disappeared at the gate of Jinyiwei Yamen, while Chen Yao, Feng Yongguo, Zhao Yi and others looked at each other in blank dismay, their eyes showing a bit of shock and horror.
Chen Ke took a deep breath, looked at Li Huan's disappearing figure, and sighed softly: "It seems that the officials of Shaanxi who are going to be killed this time are all headed away."
Thinking of the contents of the secret melody sent by Qian Ning, deputy thousand householder, Feng Yongguo sneered and said, "It's their own fault, they dared to touch the life-saving food of the common people, not killing them is not enough to make them angry, not killing them is not enough to deter them People's hearts."
In front of the palace gate of the imperial city, two little servants guarding the palace gate were startled by the sound of horseshoes. When they saw the person coming, their expressions changed slightly. One of the little servants exclaimed: " Metropolitan Governor."
Li Huan got off his horse and said, "Go to Tongbing quickly, this is the official who is asking to see His Majesty."
Immediately, there was a little servant rushing away, it was just a cup of tea, when a voice sounded, it was not the emperor's close servant Gao Feng who was it.
While welcoming Li Huan into the palace gate, Gao Feng accompanied Li Huan towards the Kunning Palace and said, "Brother Li, you just left the palace not long ago, why did you come back in a hurry, something happened, right? .”
Li Huan looked at Gao Feng's direction and said, "Brother Gao, has Your Majesty gone to Kunning Palace?"
Gao Feng smiled and said: "Brother Li, not long after you left, His Majesty went to Kunning Palace, so if you want to see Your Majesty, Brother Li, you can only go to Kunning Palace."
Kunning Palace
Zhu Houzhao was having dinner with Empress Xia at first, when he suddenly heard that Li Huan asked to see him, Zhu Houzhao was naturally very surprised.
After all, Li Huan had just left the palace, so he came here to see him. If there was no urgent matter, with Li Huan's temperament, it was impossible for him to come to see him when the palace gate was about to be closed.
So Zhu Houzhao's mind was a little out of order at the moment, even the Empress Xia who accompanied the emperor to eat could see that Zhu Houzhao was not focused on eating.
Mrs. Xia coughed lightly, looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, since it is Li Qing who is asking to see you, then the concubine should retreat."
At the same time, Gao Feng's voice came from outside the main hall: "Your Majesty, Grand Tutor Li Huan is asking to see you."
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly at the queen and said, "I will accompany the queen when I see Li Qing."
Xia's face flushed, she gave a slight salute to Zhu Houzhao, and retreated with the palace servants.
Soon Li Huan walked into the palace with Gao Feng, Li Huan just glanced at it and knew that the two of them must be dining here.
Li Huan stepped forward to bow to the emperor and said: "I don't know that your majesty is having dinner with the queen, and disturbed your majesty and empress, please forgive me."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hands and said, "It's okay, but Li Qing, you came here in a hurry. Could it be that there is something urgent?"
Li Huan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, according to the secret report of Jinyiwei in Shaanxi, there are a large number of local officials who are greedy for money and food for the victims of the disaster.
With a bang, Zhu Houzhao slapped the table case with a slap, which only shattered the entire table case violently, and the dishes and bowls shattered to the ground with a clatter.
Empress Xia, who had retreated to the inner hall, suddenly heard a loud noise from outside, and couldn't help being startled, and then heard Zhu Houzhao's roar from outside.
"Damn, damn, how dare they, their consciences have been eaten by dogs, they are the parents and officials of the people, so many people count on the government to help them survive, but they even dare to offer the people's life-saving food, what a shame! Is my butcher knife bad?"

(End of this chapter)
Yue Buqun was about to speak, when suddenly there was an explosion in the distance, and a firework exploded in the air.
Hearing the explosion and the fireworks in the air, Yue Buqun, Gu Yuzhang and the others all changed their expressions, especially Gu Yuzhang said in a low voice: "No, brothers are under attack."
Without Gu Yuzhang opening his mouth, Yue Buqun could hear that the explosion just now was Jin Yiwei's distress call.
"go!"
Almost without thinking, Yue Buqun turned around and left. As for the matter that these officials used bad food instead of relief food to help the victims, I'm afraid it can only be dealt with later.
Without Yue Buqun's instructions, Gu Yuzhang and the others followed Yue Buqun and left at a very fast speed.
The guards and the officials who gave the porridge also looked at the exploding fireworks in the distance in astonishment, and then looked at Yue Buqun and the others who left. What the hell is going on here.
However, it was said that Feng Qingyang settled in the residence of the disciples of Feng Buping Huashan Sword Sect, and he had the healing elixir provided by Feng Buping. Without traveling all the way, Feng Qingyang recovered from his injuries extremely quickly.
On this day, Feng Buping walked to a wooden house with a look of excitement on his face, and reached out to knock on the wooden house.
Soon a clear voice came from the cabin: "Come in."
Feng Buping immediately walked into the wooden house, saluted Feng Qingyang and said, "Uncle Feng."
Feng Qingyang, who was wearing a green shirt, had recovered from his injuries at this time, and was looking at Feng Buping with a smile.
Seeing the smile on Feng Qingyang's face, Feng Buping's heart suddenly moved, he looked at Feng Qingyang with some joy and said in a trembling voice: "Uncle Feng, has your injury healed?"
Feng Qingyang nodded slightly and said: "It's just a mere injury, the old man just needs to recuperate for a few days, and he will recover naturally."
As he said that, Feng Qingyang looked at Feng Buping and said, "I asked you to inquire about the news about Yue Buqun and others, have you inquired clearly?"
Hearing this, Feng Buping hurriedly said: "Return to Master Uncle, we have already found out."
Feng Qingyang immediately said: "Quickly tell me, where is Yue Buqun's bastard now?"
Feng Buping said in a deep voice: "Uncle Feng, not long ago, news came from our disciples that they found news about Yue Buqun in Xi'an Mansion."
Feng Qingyang couldn't help but looked at Feng Buping and nodded slightly: "That's right, I did drag Yue Buqun and his group in Xi'an Mansion back then, but I didn't expect that they were still in Xi'an Mansion."
Feng Buping said solemnly: "Uncle Feng, somehow Yue Buqun has become an official of the Thousand Households Office in Shaanxi. It seems that he has been appointed by the Emperor Dog and is supervising the relief of victims in Shaanxi. .”
A trace of anger flashed across Feng Qingyang's face and said: "What a wicked person, he climbed fast enough, he became a thousand households of Jinyiwei so quickly, but no matter how he climbed up, he was still an eagle dog of the imperial court, who was used as a dog for people If you don't kill this evil, my Huashan School's reputation for hundreds of years will be ruined by him."
Feng Buping said seriously: "What Master Uncle said is that if Yue Buqun is not dead, our Huashan School will be discredited and ridiculed by the people in Jianghu."
Feng Qingyang flicked his long sleeves, and said with a bit of evil spirit: "Call the disciples of Jianzong, and follow the old man to kill Yue Buqun."
Speaking of Feng Qingyang, he wanted to go out.
But Feng Buping hesitated for a moment, with a worried look on his face.
Feng Qingyang, who walked to the door, noticed Feng Buping's expression and reacted, and couldn't help but frowned, looked at Feng Buping and said, "What's the matter, don't you want to kill Yue Buqun?"
Feng Buping shook his head, looked at Feng Qingyang and said, "Master Feng, let's just break into Xi'an Fucheng and go to the yamen of the Jinyiwei Qianhu Office to find Yue Buqun?"
Feng Qingyang looked at Feng Buping in surprise and said, "Why, if you don't go to Jinyiwei Qianhu and kill Yue Buqun, where else can you go?"
Feng Buping smiled wryly and said, "Uncle Feng, that is the prefectural city of Xi'an, and the Jinyiwei Thousand Households is the site of Jinyiwei. Although there are many disciples of our Sword Sect, we really want to kill them in the prefectural city. That Yue Buqun, not to mention whether the guards in Jinyi will be desperate, even the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in the prefecture will come to rescue immediately. Even if we can kill Yue Buqun by then, I am afraid that my disciples of the Sword Sect will suffer heavy casualties. .”
Feng Qingyang frowned, looked at Feng Buping and said, "In my opinion, what should I do?"
Feng Buping said: "Didn't Yue Buqun become a high-ranking official of Jinyiwei? He wants to patrol the area. As long as we wait until Yue Buqun leaves Fucheng and leaves Xi'an Fucheng, we can ambush him on the way. To kill him, Yue Buqun, is naturally not difficult."
Feng Qingyang thought of the fact that he was almost ambushed and killed by Jin Yiwei's people in order to kill Yue Buqun, so he naturally knew what Feng Buping said was reasonable, so he nodded slightly at Feng Buping and said: "Okay, send someone immediately Keep an eye on Yue Buqun, as soon as Yue Buqun leaves the city, we will go and ambush him."
Outside Lantian County
Dozens of Jinyi Guards dressed in regular clothes said that they didn't make much fanfare because Yue Buqun didn't want to attract attention, but these Jin Yiwei still carried strong crossbows, embroidered spring knives and other things.
At this time, more than a dozen figures were rushing to kill among these brocade guards with long swords in their hands.
Sword lights flashed one after another, bringing up a bloody glow.
Fortunately, there are still a few second-rate experts among these Jinyiwei, who are fighting with those who rushed into the Jinyiwei team.
Needless to say, these people were Feng Qingyang and a dozen or so Huashan Sword Sect disciples.
Yue Buqun left Xi'an Fucheng, and the Huashan Sword Sect disciples who had been watching Yue Buqun's whereabouts immediately sent back the news.
After getting the news, Feng Qingyang and Feng Buping immediately brought a group of Jianzong's disciples to attack and kill Yue Buqun.
It's just that because Yue Buqun and the others were on the go and their whereabouts were uncertain, by the time Feng Qingyang and Feng Buping found Yue Buqun's team, they were already outside Lantian County.
That is to say, on a whim, Yue Buqun saw the situation of relief for the victims in Lantian County, and wanted to see the situation of relief for the victims, so he let the people of Jinyiwei stay at a distance, otherwise, Feng Qingyang and the others wanted to block Yue Without a group of people, I am afraid it will take a while.
When Huashan Sword Sect's disciples rushed out suddenly, they only caught Jin Yiwei's people by surprise, and several Jin Yiwei were killed on the spot.
Especially Cong Buqi and Cheng Buyou are top-notch fighters, their swords are radiant and murderous, and there is no one in Jin Yiwei who is their opponent.
Feng Buping frowned and said, "There is no Yue Buqun among these people?"
Feng Qingyang looked at the fireworks that suddenly exploded in the air, the fireworks were so familiar, it was just such a firework that exploded back then, Feng Qingyang waited for Jin Yiwei's help.
So now when he saw the fireworks again, Feng Qingyang smiled slightly and said, "No hurry, Yue Buqun will appear soon."
While he was talking, he saw a few figures in the distance rushing towards them at an extremely fast speed, and the leader was either Yue Buqun or someone else.
From a distance, Yue Buqun saw more than a dozen figures rushing to kill among the Jin Yiwei. Even though these Jin Yiwei were carefully selected by him, the only ones who were killed were those who fought back. There were even more than a dozen figures on the ground. corpse.
Before rushing to the front, Yue Buqun couldn't help but stop, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
Because at this time Yue Buqun saw a familiar figure, and that figure was also looking at him.
Gu Yuzhang, who was following Yue Buqun, was taken aback when he saw Yue Buqun suddenly stop in his tracks, and said doubtfully, "My lord, you are..."
Gu Yuzhang couldn't help but be puzzled, the brother in front was being killed, and Yue Buqun, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, suddenly stopped.
Yue Buqun ignored Gu Yuzhang, but stared at that figure, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Feng Qingyang!"
Feng Qingyang, who was wearing a green shirt, was walking towards Yue Buqun slowly, holding a sword in his hand, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Yue Buqun, I can't think of it, I want to see today, who will can save you."
Yue Buqun woke up from the initial shock, and his eyes fell on Feng Buping, Cong Buqi, Cheng Buyou and others. There was a faint look of doubt in his eyes, obviously he didn't quite understand the wind. Where did Qingyang find these helpers?
The most important thing is that Yue Buqun felt that these people gave him a sense of familiarity, especially those who were fighting with Jin Yiwei in the distance said that they were clearly using their Huashan swordsmanship.
"You... who are you?"
Needless to say, what Yue Buqun asked was Feng Buping.
Although Feng Buping, Cong Buqi, and Cheng Buyou were also Huashan disciples in the past, decades have passed, and Feng Buping has changed a lot. Can't really recognize a few people.
Feng Buping took a step forward, stared at Yue Buqun and sneered, "Yue Buqun, do you still remember Jianzong Feng Buping?"
Cheng Buyou laughed loudly and said, "Jianzong Cheng Buyou."
Cong Buqi stared at Yue Buqun with his blood-stained sword in his hand and said coldly: "Jian Zong Cong Buqi"
Yue Buqun narrowed his eyes, and suddenly realized, he took a deep breath and said, "Okay, okay, it really is you remnants of the Sword Sect, so you were the ones who killed Huashan and my Huashan disciples not long ago. .”
Apparently, when he saw Feng Buping, Cong Buqi, Cheng Buyou and the dozen or so disciples of the Huashan Sword Sect, Yue Buqun directly regarded Feng Buping and the others as the group of Hebei Sanxiong who killed Huashan not long ago. .
Because they happened to be right, they were all three first-class masters, and with the grievances between Jianzong and Qizong, in Yue Buqun's view, Feng Buping just saw that the Huashan faction did not have him in charge, and he was against the Huashan authentic sect. The heart of coveting was born, so he took the opportunity to kill Huashan.
When Yue Buqun's words came out, Feng Buping and the others were taken aback. They really had never been to Mount Hua, but seeing the hatred flashing in Yue Buqun's eyes, Feng Buping and the others just snorted coldly and did not try to defend themselves. mean.
In Yue Buqun's eyes, their reaction became a kind of default.
But at this moment Feng Qingyang said calmly: "Okay, kill Yue Buqun today, Feng will take you to take over the Huashan faction, and then Huashan will be handed over to you to carry forward."
As he spoke, Feng Qingyang strode towards Yue Buqun with a long sword in his hand.
Gu Yuzhang's hairs stood on end, and he stared at the few people opposite him with great vigilance. In fact, the few people opposite him gave him a sense of crisis.
Yue Buqun shouted with a long roar, "Everyone flee separately."
With Feng Qingyang, Feng Buping and those Jianzong disciples, Yue Buqun knew very well that even if everyone rushed forward to fight, they would not be opponents.
In the current situation, the only option is to escape a few.
A stern look flashed across Gu Yuzhang's eyes, and he stared fixedly at Feng Qingyang, how could he not see that Feng Qingyang's target was Yue Buqun.
The most important thing is that this old man brought him the most pressure, as if he might die in the opponent's hands at any time.
"My lord, this subordinate will cut off the heir for you!"
Thinking that he was valued by Yue Buqun and promoted to the official of Jinyiwei Hundred Households, Gu Yuzhang obviously wanted to stop him for Yue Buqun.
Gu Yuzhang thought that with his own strength, he might not be the opponent of the opponent, but it would be no problem to block the opponent for a while and buy time for Yue Buqun. When the time comes, as long as Yue Buqun escapes, he can get away.
Yue Buqun glanced at Gu Yuzhang and shouted in a deep voice: "Feng Qingyang is the number one sword master in the world, I'm afraid you won't be able to do a few tricks under him, so hurry up."
Speaking of which, Yue Buqun jumped up, turned directly onto the horse, and then stabbed the horse's butt with a sword, and the horse neighed immediately, like an arrow flying out of the string.
Gu Yuzhang narrowed his eyes, and also turned around and left.
Feng Qingyang was taken aback for a moment, then he came to his senses, looked at Yue Buqun running away and sneered, "Want to run away?"
The next moment, he saw Feng Qingyang's figure was erratic, and with one step, he ran for Yue Buqun to catch up with a distance of several zhang.
Capital
On the Dajiao Field in the suburbs of Beijing, the last battalion of the [-]th Regiment Battalion, the National Bravery Battalion
Thousands of soldiers stood silently on the school grounds, on the high platform, large boxes were placed there one by one, and these boxes were opened, revealing the white silver in them.
Counting 10 taels of silver were piled up in front of thousands of soldiers. Under the shining of the sun, the glistening silver dazzled the eyes.
Many people were even more dazzled and swallowed wildly.
Although these days, the twelfth regiment battalion eliminated the old and the weak one by one, Li Huan, the admiral of the Beijing camp, personally sat down to distribute the money.
This news has already been known to everyone in the [-]th Regiment Battalion, but it is unbelievable that they have not seen the money in vain.
But seeing so much money with my own eyes now, I was apprehensive at first. I believed the news that the imperial court would eliminate the old and the weak and distribute 50 taels of dismissal silver to each person.
There are more than a dozen figures standing behind Li Huan, among them are the British Duke Zhang Lun, Cheng Guogong Zhu Fu, and the elite children of various honorable families who showed their talents in the Li Mansion, such as Zhu Shuo, Chen Guo, etc. Ang, Xu Ying, Guo Xun and others.
If you look carefully, you will find that around the big school field, teams of elite soldiers stand standing with sharp weapons. They are the soldiers of Zhenwei Camp that Li Huan cleaned up first.
After being cleared by Li Huan, there were 1 people registered in the Zhenwei Camp, but in fact there were only 800 old and weak. After some elimination, only [-] elites remained.
These two thousand and 800 people are all strong and strong men, which can be said to be the real essence of the entire Zhenwei camp, especially after Li Huan equipped these elites with armor and weapons, they already have a bit of an elite look.
Under the strict restraint and training of the commanders Ren Ping and Guan Zheng, the Zhenwei Battalion has undergone a radical change. These days, Li Huan is relying on the Zhenwei Battalion to frighten many young men in the [-]th Regiment Battalion, and orderly weed out the [-]th Battalion. The battalion is old and weak.
Perhaps some veterans were very dissatisfied with being eliminated from the Beijing camp. If Li Huan hadn't spent a lot of money to dispel these people's dissatisfaction, even if the Zhenwei camp was there to frighten them, he would still be there. There was a mutiny under the instigation and instigation of some people with good intentions behind their backs.
But when the white money is in hand, and there is an elite army in charge, except for a few prostitutes, no one has any dissatisfaction with most of the old and weak who have been eliminated.
In particular, Li Huan also secretly dispatched Jin Yiwei's capable men to stare at the top and bottom of the Beijing camp, and cleanly eradicated some of the low-level generals who were cleared out of the Beijing camp and tried to secretly link up.
Several waves of small-scale military disturbances were suppressed, but there were no major disturbances. Under the astonished and disbelieving gazes of all the officials, it took Li Huan Leng less than a month to complete the confrontation. The elimination of Beijing camp.
Originally there were more than 20 Jingying soldiers on the roster, but after some elimination, there were only more than [-] elite soldiers left.
Compared with the more than 20 troops of the Beijing camp, 3 horses seem to be very few at once, but these 20 are the real elite. After reorganization, the combat effectiveness of the [-] army will definitely exceed the previous so-called army of more than [-].
Now the National Bravery Battalion is the last of the [-]th Regiment Battalion that is about to be eliminated and reorganized.
Following Li Huan's order, hundreds of clerks lined up, and according to the re-counted roster, they began to distribute silver taels one by one to eliminate the old and the weak.
When many gray-haired veterans were holding dozens of taels of silver in both hands, their faces showed disbelief and surprise.
Because of the precedent, the progress of eliminating the National Bravery Battalion was very smooth, but it took only half a day. After the National Bravery Battalion, which had a nominally 1 people, distributed about 30 taels of silver, the school grounds There are less than 3000 left.
These nearly 3000 people are all able-bodied men between the ages of 16 and 30, which can be regarded as the last essence of the National Bravery Camp.
Seeing Chen Ang and Xu Ying, who had been appointed by Li Huan as the commander of the capital, stepped forward to take over the soldiers of the National Bravery Battalion, Li Huan let out a sigh of relief.
There was a bit of a smile on the corner of his mouth, he looked at Zhang Lun, Zhu Fu and the others, arched his hands slightly and said: "Masters and Lords, these days are all due to you sitting in town, so that everything can go smoothly."
Zhang Lun, Zhu Fu and the others kept being modest and did not dare to claim credit. They have seen clearly these days. Although they said that they were in charge of rectifying the Beijing camp, it was true that some generals related to them were prevented from causing trouble, but the real credit was not On Li Huan.
If it wasn't for Li Huan taking out a lot of money and distributing the dismissal money truthfully to those old and weak who were eliminated, and calming down the resentment in the hearts of these soldiers, if it wasn't for Li Huan secretly suppressing dozens of low-level generals in the Beijing camp with Jin Yiwei All kinds of connections to be made, just relying on their noble prestige, it is impossible to complete the reorganization of the Beijing camp so smoothly.
At this moment Feng Yongbang strode over, holding a roster in his hand, and said to Li Huan, "I have seen the governor."
Li Huan nodded slightly and said, "How's the statistics going?"
Feng Yongbang said with a smile: "Back to the governor, all the twelve regiments and battalions have been eliminated. After the reorganization, there are a total of 240 soldiers left, a total of 650 old and weak, and 430 and eight low-level generals. , and distributed severance money, including middle and low-level generals, a total of 4508 million taels."
Although Zhang Lun, Zhu Fu and others who stood aside said that they already knew that for the reorganization of the Beijing camp this time, the emperor's internal treasury was completely open to Li Huan, and all the money needed was taken from the emperor's internal treasury.
However, Zhang Lun, Zhu Fu and others still couldn't help but show horror when they suddenly heard that 460 million taels of silver had been spent.
That's millions of taels of silver, which is almost equivalent to the tax income of the Ming Dynasty for one year.
Take out one year's tax income to complete the restructuring of the Beijing camp, a stubborn cancer of the Ming Dynasty. Looking at the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Li Huan and Zhu Houzhao, a pair of monarchs and ministers, really did it.
For a moment, Zhang Lun, Zhu Fu and others all looked at Li Huan with complicated expressions.
You must know that at the beginning, almost no one was optimistic about Li Huan's ability to do this.
However, standing here now, looking at the remaining less than 1 elite soldiers in the National Bravery Camp on the school field, although the number is too small, compared with more than [-] people, less than [-]% are left, but that With an imposing manner and a renewed mental outlook, even they can see that the remaining soldiers are all soldiers who are truly worthy of a battle.
Thinking of his own children in these days, all those who were approved by Li Huan were arranged by Li Huan into the capital camp after elimination.
Although it is said that Li Huan offended many nobles by clearing a large number of corpses and low-level generals with no ability out of the capital camp, Li Huan also accepted many real elite children from noble families into the army, which can be regarded as Appeased the dissatisfaction of some nobles.
In addition, Li Huan also asked the emperor to reopen the martial arts, and set the date of martial arts to be in the spring of next year. The martial arts that have been suspended for many years in Ming Dynasty will start again, and the promotion channel for low-level warriors will be opened. The children of the bottom military households who have no chance to see and hear about the emperor will usher in a spring.
Because Li Huanzuo asked to reopen the martial arts, not only children from civilian families are eligible to participate, but even children from military households are eligible to participate.
You must know that in the past martial arts were generally rejected by the children of general families, so that even if many children from military families had enough force and ability, they could only be ordinary soldiers in the local guards. An unknown leader who can't even support his family.
Li Huan believed that in the spring of next year, when the martial arts exams are held, the warriors all over the world will be excited about it. He wonders how many available talents will be selected for Ming Dynasty.
Qianqing Palace
When Li Huan walked into Qianqing Palace with a thick stack of Beijing camp rosters, Zhu Houzhao, who had already received the news, was looking expectantly at Li Huan who walked in.
Looking at Li Huan, Zhu Houzhao said in a trembling voice with a bit of excitement on his face, "Li Qing, is it done?"
Li Huan nodded heavily at Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao's face suddenly burst into an excited smile, and he couldn't help walking around and laughing loudly: "Okay, okay, the stubborn disease of the Beijing camp has finally been solved in my hands."
Speaking of which, Zhu Houzhao stepped forward and pulled Li Huan, let Li Huan sit down and said, "Tell me quickly."
Li Huan straightened his expression, and gave Zhu Houzhao the details of the rectification of the Beijing camp.
Finally, Li Huan looked at Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, after the elimination of the Beijing Camp, there are still more than [-] people left, but I assure you that these [-] people are all elites. With a little training, they will be a team that dares to fight." division, its combat strength far exceeds that of the previous Beijing battalion."
When Zhu Houzhao heard that the Beijing Camp had eliminated more than 8 old, weak, sick and disabled, he couldn't help but sighed: "Although I knew that the Beijing Camp had been corrupted for a long time, and there were more than 20 people in the Beijing Camp in name, there were only four in the end." There are more than [-] usable divisions, and the imperial court spends at least a million taels of silver every year to support this large army."
Li Huan coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, this time, in order to weed out the old and the weak, I spent a total of 460 million taels of silver."
Zhu Houzhao suddenly swallowed with a grunt, obviously surprised by this large sum of money, but soon Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay, it's a sum of money to be able to reorganize the Beijing camp. I am willing to spend money."
Speaking of which, Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Huan and said with a smile: "Besides, you got all the money from Li Qing. In this way, there will be two or three million taels left in my internal treasury. I'm still Earn it."
Li Huan said solemnly: "Your Majesty, it's not just two or three million taels. If I'm not mistaken, there will be at least tens of millions of taels in your majesty's internal treasury."
Zhu Houzhao, who had just taken a sip of tea, almost spit out the tea when he heard the words, and looked at Li Huan in astonishment, his face full of puzzlement.
Even Qiu Ju, who was serving at the side, opened his eyes wide, wouldn't bullying him and the emperor settle accounts?
Although it is said that the millions of taels of silver shipped from Fujian not long ago have been put into the internal treasury, but in total, the sum of the three confiscated large sums of gold and silver is only about 1000 million taels.
In order to repair the river, Zhu Houzhao took out 300 million taels of silver, and Li Huan spent nearly 500 million taels to eliminate the Beijing camp. No matter how you calculate, there are only 300 million taels left in the internal treasury. Where did ten million taels come from?
Li Huan smiled lightly, and a stern look flashed in his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, don't forget that the trial of the treason case is almost over, and those confirmed officials and nobles are about to be beheaded and ransacked their homes."
Hearing what Li Huan said, Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Chasing the house."
Li Huan nodded and said: "That's right, Your Majesty thinks how much gold and silver can be confiscated by nearly a hundred officials and honorable families involved in the treason case?"
Zhu Houzhao thought for a while, glanced at Li Huan and said, "Does Li Qing think that nearly ten million taels of gold and silver can be confiscated this time?"
Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao first became short of breath, and then showed a bit of anger on his face.
If it is true as Li Huan said, nearly a hundred officials confiscated tens of millions of taels of gold and silver at once, Zhu Houzhao was shocked, and a kind of grief and indignation arose in his heart. Such a big net worth.
Seeing the change in Zhu Houzhao's expression, Li Huan could probably guess what the emperor was thinking, and comforted Zhu Houzhao with a sigh: "As long as your majesty is a wise king, there will be fewer and fewer corrupt officials in the world, and the lives of the people will be much easier."
Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath, looked at Li Huan with a bit of brilliance in his eyes, and said, "I will be a good emperor. I dare not say that I will wipe out corrupt officials in Daming, but I will do my best to benefit the people and rejuvenate my Daming."
Speaking of which, Zhu Hou looked at Li Huan and said, "Li Qing, are you willing to help me?"
Li Huan nodded and said: "It is my honor to be able to create a prosperous Ming Dynasty with His Majesty."
I don't know what he thought of, Zhu Houzhao suddenly sighed softly, his face was full of worry, and said: "The disaster in Shaanxi, the money and food from the imperial court should have arrived at the place now, and I don't know if the local government has started to help the victims."
Zhu Hou took a look at Li Huan and said, "Li Qing, do you think those people, facing so much money and food, can they really control their greed and not do anything? I only hope that they can spend most of the money and food on If the people don’t let my people starve to death or freeze to death, even if they are really greedy, for the sake of their dedication to helping the victims, I will admit it, but can they?”
Li Huan sighed softly, obviously the emperor had no confidence in the local officials in Shaanxi officialdom.
However, Li Huan could only comfort him: "Your Majesty, don't worry, there are three divisions and the inspector censor, no matter how greedy those officials are, they should restrain themselves. Besides, there are Jin Yiwei watching from the side."
Zhu Houzhao was shocked when he heard the words: "Yes, I still have Jinyiwei, Li Qing, you must always keep an eye on the news from Shaanxi, but if you have any news, you must tell me as soon as possible."
After leaving the imperial city, the sky was already a little dizzy, Li Huan was heading towards Maoyan Lane, when suddenly two horses came galloping in front of him.
Li Huan didn't have the habit of sitting in a sedan chair or a carriage. He rode the imperial horse bestowed by the emperor as usual. He heard the sound from a distance, and followed the sound, and saw two royal guards galloping towards him on horseback.
The one on the horse is none other than Chen Yao and Feng Yongguo.
The two were Li Huan's confidantes, and now the two came galloping, which made Li Huan's heart skip a beat. Could it be that something happened to the Jinyiwei Yamen?
While Li Huan was thinking in his heart, Feng Yongguo and Chen Yao, who were flying over, obviously saw Li Huan.
When they saw Li Huan, they both showed surprise on their faces.
They knew that Li Huan had entered the palace to meet the emperor, so they walked along the long street to the direction of the imperial city. Even if they didn't meet Li Huan on the way, they could still wait outside the palace gate for Li Huan to come out.
Seeing Li Huan now, he was naturally very excited and hurried forward.
Li Huan stopped the imperial horse under him, and Feng Yongguo and Chen Yao stepped forward immediately.
Li Huan looked at Feng Yongguo and Chen Yao and asked, "What's the matter?"
Chen Yao's expression became serious and he said, "My lord, Qian Ning, deputy Qianhu of Shanxi Jinyiwei Qianhu Office, has sent urgent news that Yue Buqun suddenly disappeared three days ago."
"What? Yue Buqun is missing?"
We must know that a few days ago, there was news from the Shaanxi Thousand Households Office, saying that Yue Buqun had received the news and officially took over the Shaanxi Thousand Households Office.
But now there is news from Qian Ning that Yue Buqun is missing, how can this not be shocking.
Shaanxi is Huashan's territory, and it is considered Lao Yue's own territory. In Shaanxi, with Yue's extraordinary ability, how could he disappear.
But this news came from Jin Yiwei again. If it is said that Yue Buqun is really missing, it is absolutely impossible for Qian Ning to send such news.
With a flash of thought, Li Huan immediately galloped towards the Jinyiwei Yamen and said, "Let's go back to the Yamen."
In the Jinyiwei yamen
Li Huan sat there, looking at the urgent confidential letter.
Looking at the secret letter, Li Huan finally understood what was going on.
It clearly stated that Yue Buqun brought dozens of Jinyi Guards on the way to Mount Hua, but was suddenly attacked and killed by a group of people led by Feng Qingyang, Yue Buqun ordered the Jinyi Guards to flee separately.
Gu Yuzhang, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, was seriously injured and brought the news back to the thousand households of Jinyiwei. Qian Ning immediately sent someone to search for Yue Buqun's whereabouts, but there was no news at all.
Li Huan tapped lightly on the table with one hand, Li Huan was really surprised that Feng Qingyang found a group of people who were able to attack and kill Yue Buqun and dozens of Jin Yiwei.
If there was no group of people to help Feng Qingyang block the Jinyiwei people, relying on Yue Buqun's strength, plus dozens of Jinyiwei, Feng Qingyang would not dare to kill Yue Buqun so openly .
Of course, the secret letter contained not only the news of Yue Buqun's being attacked and disappeared, but also the many inside stories that Qian Ning disclosed about the relief of the people by the local government in Shaanxi.
Seeing how the local officials reported by Qian Ning were shoddy and greedy for food and money to help the victims, Li Huan couldn't help showing a sneer, and he exuded a murderous intent.
In the lobby, Chen Yao, Zhao Yi, Chen Ke, Feng Yongguo, Du Guang and others felt the murderous intent pervading Li Huan's body change slightly.
With a bang, Li Huan slapped the table with his palm, and said with an angry smile: "Okay, very good, it seems that His Majesty and I have really overestimated the bottom line of these people."
Speaking of which, Li Huan got up suddenly, and while walking outside, he said: "Chen Yao, immediately send me [-] elite Jinyi guards to be on standby at any time."
Chen Yao stood up in a solemn voice: "This subordinate takes orders."
At the same time, Li Huan said to Feng Yongguo: "Feng Baihu, you go and order Zhenwei Battalion Commander Ren Ping and Guan Zheng to gather their troops immediately and wait for orders at any time."
Feng Yongguo said solemnly: "This subordinate takes orders."
After speaking, Li Huan's figure disappeared at the gate of Jinyiwei Yamen, while Chen Yao, Feng Yongguo, Zhao Yi and others looked at each other in blank dismay, their eyes showing a bit of shock and horror.
Chen Ke took a deep breath, looked at Li Huan's disappearing figure, and sighed softly: "It seems that the officials of Shaanxi who are going to be killed this time are all headed away."
Thinking of the contents of the secret melody sent by Qian Ning, deputy thousand householder, Feng Yongguo sneered and said, "It's their own fault, they dared to touch the life-saving food of the common people, not killing them is not enough to make them angry, not killing them is not enough to deter them People's hearts."
In front of the palace gate of the imperial city, two little servants guarding the palace gate were startled by the sound of horseshoes. When they saw the person coming, their expressions changed slightly. One of the little servants exclaimed: " Metropolitan Governor."
Li Huan got off his horse and said, "Go to Tongbing quickly, this is the official who is asking to see His Majesty."
Immediately, there was a little servant rushing away, it was just a cup of tea, when a voice sounded, it was not the emperor's close servant Gao Feng who was it.
While welcoming Li Huan into the palace gate, Gao Feng accompanied Li Huan towards the Kunning Palace and said, "Brother Li, you just left the palace not long ago, why did you come back in a hurry, something happened, right? .”
Li Huan looked at Gao Feng's direction and said, "Brother Gao, has Your Majesty gone to Kunning Palace?"
Gao Feng smiled and said: "Brother Li, not long after you left, His Majesty went to Kunning Palace, so if you want to see Your Majesty, Brother Li, you can only go to Kunning Palace."
Kunning Palace
Zhu Houzhao was having dinner with Empress Xia at first, when he suddenly heard that Li Huan asked to see him, Zhu Houzhao was naturally very surprised.
After all, Li Huan had just left the palace, so he came here to see him. If there was no urgent matter, with Li Huan's temperament, it was impossible for him to come to see him when the palace gate was about to be closed.
So Zhu Houzhao's mind was a little out of order at the moment, even the Empress Xia who accompanied the emperor to eat could see that Zhu Houzhao was not focused on eating.
Mrs. Xia coughed lightly, looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, since it is Li Qing who is asking to see you, then the concubine should retreat."
At the same time, Gao Feng's voice came from outside the main hall: "Your Majesty, Grand Tutor Li Huan is asking to see you."
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly at the queen and said, "I will accompany the queen when I see Li Qing."
Xia's face flushed, she gave a slight salute to Zhu Houzhao, and retreated with the palace servants.
Soon Li Huan walked into the palace with Gao Feng, Li Huan just glanced at it and knew that the two of them must be dining here.
Li Huan stepped forward to bow to the emperor and said: "I don't know that your majesty is having dinner with the queen, and disturbed your majesty and empress, please forgive me."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hands and said, "It's okay, but Li Qing, you came here in a hurry. Could it be that there is something urgent?"
Li Huan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, according to the secret report of Jinyiwei in Shaanxi, there are a large number of local officials who are greedy for money and food for the victims of the disaster.
With a bang, Zhu Houzhao slapped the table case with a slap, which only shattered the entire table case violently, and the dishes and bowls shattered to the ground with a clatter.
Empress Xia, who had retreated to the inner hall, suddenly heard a loud noise from outside, and couldn't help being startled, and then heard Zhu Houzhao's roar from outside.
"Damn, damn, how dare they, their consciences have been eaten by dogs, they are the parents and officials of the people, so many people count on the government to help them survive, but they even dare to offer the people's life-saving food, what a shame! Is my butcher knife bad?"
