Borrow the day to change the day

Then Emperor Chongzhen asked again: "Master Zhong, is there anything else?" After Zhong Jinwei's problem was solved, he also had something to explain to him.

"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to do." Zhong Jinwei said to Emperor Chongzhen.

"Master Zhong, tell me."

"The six servants of the minister have returned from training in the East Factory, so I want to ask if the former guards of the East Factory will be withdrawn?"

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Zhong Jinwei's face, and didn't find any unnaturalness, he was just discussing the matter as it stands. [

He opened his mouth and asked: "Why does Master Zhong want to withdraw the guards, wouldn't it be safer to have more guards?"

"Your Majesty, it's not that I want to withdraw. The main reason is that the minister alone in the Ming Dynasty has a guard from the East Factory. He seems to be a maverick. I'm afraid someone will say it after a long time." Zhong Jinwei explained.

He was not afraid that Emperor Chongzhen sent these people to monitor him, because firstly, he acted frankly and wholeheartedly, and had nothing to hide from Emperor Chongzhen; What's more, you can press an undercover agent casually.

"Master Zhong, don't be afraid of what others will say. I just want everyone to know that I treat you differently. If you dare to attack you, you must consider my monstrous anger! Your six followers are still a little short. Not only are these East Factory slaves easy to use, but you don’t need to pay to support them, so why not do it!”

Emperor Chongzhen laughed when he said that, it's free for you, you don't want it!

Zhong Jinwei also laughed when he heard it. He took the Dongchang guards with him, which was very useful at times, and he was really reluctant to let them go.

Thinking of this, he bowed to Emperor Chongzhen and said, "If so, I would like to thank Your Majesty."

"Master Zhong, you are welcome. You are unique to me and to Ming Dynasty. If you want to do something, I will be ashamed of God for giving me this opportunity to rejuvenate Daming!" Emperor Chongzhen said seriously.

When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he suddenly felt that he was more important than himself, that it was worth all his hard work for the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Chongzhen.No wonder there is an old saying that a scholar dies for his confidant!Although a bit exaggerated, the feeling is indeed very real.

Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Master Zhong, I trust you the most. Now there is something that needs you to do so I can rest assured."

As soon as Zhong Jinwei heard it, he immediately replied: "Okay, no problem."

"The decisive battle with Jianlu is about to begin. You put aside the matter at hand and go to the barracks to stay there and watch them for me." Emperor Chongzhen ordered.

He hasn't forgotten what he did before, and he has no confidence in the plot of most of the generals in King Qin's army.

It's not that they will seek refuge with Jianlu at this time. Emperor Chongzhen didn't have much worry about this. What he worried about was that these generals would take the opportunity to bring disaster to the country, and even kill the good and pretend to be meritorious.

Zhong Jinwei didn't think about it as carefully as Emperor Chongzhen did, thinking that he would just be the supervisor.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't tell Zhong Jinwei Ming, because he knew that according to Zhong Jinwei's character, he would definitely take care of this matter.

Zhong Jinwei then slightly mentioned to Emperor Chongzhen that An Guiyi was working on incentive measures. If there were major innovations, he hoped that there would be better rewards, even official rewards.

Emperor Chongzhen understood this reward mechanism, and it was no problem for him to give some idle official positions out.

After receiving Emperor Chongzhen's reply, Zhong Jinwei rushed to the cement factory and told An Guiyi about Emperor Chongzhen's reply by the way.Then focus on telling An Guiyi to keep an eye on the progress of various things while he is not in the capital.Everything here is the foundation of Daming ZTE, and it must not be sloppy. [

After everything was explained, Zhong Jinwei went back home.He considered that this time, he would at least have to finish the battle before he could return to the capital, so he asked the family members to go home for reunion after serving in the capital, and go to the barracks together tomorrow morning.

Gu Baichuan was one of the people who had a small family. He was very grateful for Zhong Jinwei's thoughtful consideration, and he didn't trust him. After saying goodbye to Zhong Jinwei, he left Zhongxinghou's Mansion with the other servants and went back to their respective homes for reunion.

Early the next morning, Fan Yan, who was going home for a reunion, rushed back to Zhongxinghou Mansion early.Zhong Jinwei took six entourages with swords and eight Dongchang soldiers, and headed for the camp of King Qin's army outside the city in a mighty way.

When Zhong Jinwei entered Sun Chengzong's Chinese army tent and found him alone, he smiled and said to him: "Master Sun, you are going to kill all directions soon, so I came to the barracks specially to learn from you."

Sun Chengzong was startled when he heard this, what was he talking about, the superintendent was really, he often spoke with his hometown sayings.

However, he understood what Zhong Jinwei meant, that is, during the war with Jianlu, he would always follow the army.

Sun Chengzong's face is also very thick, seeing Zhong Jinwei's smiling face, he said without hesitation: "It's good for the younger generation to be willing to make progress. I will definitely teach you everything, and the future world will be yours."

Zhong Jinwei saw that Sun Chengzong relied on the old to sell the old, as if the students he taught must be awesome, he couldn't help but secretly admired Sun Chengzong's thick skin.

But to be honest, Sun Chengzong really has this qualification.Zhong Jinwei stopped joking and bowed seriously: "Thank you, Mr. Sun."

Seeing that Zhong Jinwei suddenly became serious, Sun Chengzong didn't dare to push him too hard, because Zhong Jinwei was the supervisor sent by the emperor.

While beckoning Zhong Jinwei to sit down, he asked his soldiers to make tea for him.

Zhong Jinwei talked to Sun Chengzong in the tent of the Chinese army, he didn't need guards, so he asked Gu Baichuan to take the guards down to rest.

Gu Baichuan asked the others to rest, and let Lao Si stay and accompany Zhongxing Hou with him.

Zhong Jinwei didn't insist, he went to talk to Sun Chengzong himself, he asked: "Master Sun, how is the situation recently?"

"This old man has dispatched a large number of Ye Bu Shou since the past few days. Judging from the returning military situation, it is quite abnormal." Sun Chengzong stroked his long beard under his forehead, shook his head slightly, and said with some doubts.

"Oh, why is it abnormal?" Zhong Jinwei was a little curious when he heard it.

"In the past when we fought against Jianlu, as long as our army sent Yebushu, Jianlu would definitely fight against each other. We also sent a large number of scouts to obstruct Yebushu to investigate the military situation, and even specifically sniped and suppressed Yebubu. But the current situation But it is rare to see traces of Jianlu visiting horses." Sun Chengzong explained.

When Zhong Jinwei heard it, he also felt a little strange.Now the leader of the Tartars in the pass is Jianlu's Erbeile Amin, a veteran who is used to fighting, it is impossible for him not to know the importance of reconnaissance of the enemy's situation.

Zhong Jinwei turned his head to look at Gu Baichuan, wondering if the shrewd man had any opinion.

Gu Baichuan shook his head, he didn't understand these things either.As for Li Laosi next to him, he was directly ignored by Zhong Jinwei, he must not understand.

At this time, Sun Chengzong suddenly asked Zhong Jinwei: "Marquis Zhongxing, haven't you received the stone-throwing report?"

Asking such a question, Zhong Jinwei also thought of the mysterious person who provided Jianlu's information. There has been no news these days. I don't know if something happened or it is inconvenient to report again. [

Zhong Jinwei shook his head and said, "I haven't received any more stone-throwing letters. I don't know who this person is and what he does, and I can't contact him."

When he said this, he turned around and asked Gu Baichuan: "Does Dongchang have any clues about this person?"

Gu Baichuan was not at the scene when he threw stones twice.According to subsequent investigations, there were no useful clues at all, so Gu Baichuan still shook his head and answered Zhong Jinwei.

Sun Chengzong saw that these people didn't know, so he didn't worry about it any more. He continued: "No matter whether Jianlu is stupid or for other reasons, I am happy to see this kind of situation. According to Ye If they don’t receive any rewards, the Jianlu are now huddled in the cities of Luanzhou, Yongping, Qian’an, and Zunhua, and there are many rolling logs and stones on the top of the city, it seems that they are going to rely on the city walls for defense.”

"Then what should we do?" Zhong Jinwei asked.

When Sun Chengzong heard Zhong Jinwei's words, he laughed and said: "It's okay, it's the best thing for Jianlu to abandon his strengths and use his weaknesses. Our Ming army is not good at attacking cities."

"In a siege battle, you have to use several times the strength of the defending city to defeat it. I remember what I said. Even if Jianlu is not good at defending the city, if he conquers the city, many soldiers will die!" Zhong Jinwei was a little worried.

"Marquis Zhongxing, don't forget that artillery is used to attack cities now. Li Fengjie and Wang Zunde from the Guangdong and Guangxi Army were ordered to go to Macau to purchase artillery and large guns, and they will be transported to the capital in just a few days. It is reported that there are a total of There are seven big iron guns, three big copper guns, and thirty eagle-billed guns. With these, it will be easy to conquer the city." Sun Chengzong smiled and comforted Zhong Jinwei.

Zhong Jinwei had already understood when Sun Chengzong mentioned artillery.He just forgot about artillery siege. In this world, who else knows the power of artillery better than Zhong Jinwei!Zhong Jinwei always remembers a saying that artillery is the king of war.

But Zhong Jinwei didn't remember what Sun Chengzong said about buying the guns, so he hurriedly asked what was going on.
