little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 249 Major Events
When I returned from the camp in the north of the city, the sun was already setting and the sky was full of clouds.There was the sound of cars rattling by his ears, and Zhu Changluo, who had been in a restless mood for a long time, couldn't help but lift up the curtains of the car. The barren sky and green fields stretched out in front of him, and the smoke from several houses in the distance curled up. A group of weary birds flew across the sky, chirping. In the forest, everything is quiet and beautiful, quiet and peaceful.

In a blink of an eye, Ye He was riding on the horse, his black hair in black clothes was blown by the breeze, and he was full of vigor and vigor, and he stood out among the wolves and tigers.Zhu Changluo suddenly found that even on the horse, Ye He's posture was as straight and upright as if he was standing. Look at him and compare himself, it is true that people are more dead than others, and goods are thrown away. This body is full of vitality , I can only hope that I can't reach it in this life... Thinking of the torment of the ice and fire, Zhu Changluo's good mood suddenly became subtle, not to mention sad, but a little sad.

Suddenly he sighed, feeling disappointed that he had just put the curtains on the car, when a gust of wind blew up and lifted the curtains, a pair of eyes as black as ink suddenly appeared, unexpectedly startled Zhu Changluo: "What are you doing?"

Although I don't know what this guy is thinking, but his sigh is enough to explain a lot of things.Ye He's two long eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he glanced at the increasingly obvious black and blue under his eyes, and decided not to go around in circles with him: "When will you be able to find him with me? "

Speaking of this question is not new, Zhu Changluo sighed, his eyes no longer looked at him but moved to the sky, and said quietly: "Hurry up, I assure you, it will be soon." After finishing speaking, put down the car Leaning against the curtain, she lazily closed her eyes.

The curtain of the car was pulled open suddenly, revealing Ye He's flushed face due to excitement: "What you said is true? Zhu Xiaoqi, you have a promise, you can be compared to a daughter, if you dare to lie to me... Huh! "As for what to do after being cheated, Ye He couldn't figure out what to do with this guy for a while, but he could only snort heavily when he got there.

It's really getting more and more presumptuous, and even dared to threaten himself... Zhu Changluo, who closed his eyes, was a little angrily, but he didn't even bother to open his eyelids, and said impatiently: "I really regret letting you come to train soldiers. The more you train, the more stupid you become. He doesn't have a brain!" Suddenly remembered something, and suddenly opened his eyes: "Also, what is my name Zhu Xiaoqi? I'm almost twelve, even if I call him Zhu Twelve, understand?"

He was scolded bloody for no reason, but instead of being annoyed, Ye He smiled happily. He didn't care about his bad attitude at all, his eyes shone brightly after being washed, and his tone was domineering and unresistable: "I figured it out, you live long enough!" Bashi, should I still call you Zhu Bashi? From now on, I will call you Zhu Xiaoqi! I will write down what you said, and if you don’t keep your word then, don’t blame me for kidnapping you.”

I don't know why, my heart was a little swollen, and my throat was a little congested. Zhu Changluo was depressed and found that he actually had the urge to cry. He reached out and wiped the corner of his eyes, and he poked his head out of the curtain with a bit of embarrassment, "It's against you, I'm the prince. , if you don’t listen to me, you’re disobeying, you’re committing crimes!” But seeing Ye He galloping his horse, a puff of smoke was accompanied by the sound of hooves, and a loud and clear laugh sounded like a demonstration in the distance.

His words didn't frighten Ye He, but rather frightened the soldiers who rode horses and chariots in front. One of them turned his head tremblingly, but found that the prince's face was a bit strange, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried after staying for a while: "Your Highness , it’s dusty and windy outside, you’d better sit in the car and stay safe.”

Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Changluo had already retreated into the car.Seeing that the prince is so obedient, the soldiers were relieved, shook the reins in their hands, and shouted proudly: "Drive!"

Zhu Changluo, who returned to the palace, sat quietly and thought about it. Zhu Changluo was very satisfied with the results of the inspection of the three major battalions.Whether it is the mental outlook or combat literacy of the soldiers, they have reached a new peak.If there is only one fly in the ointment, it is that the three major battalions of the capital now have a total of 12 soldiers.Zhu Changluo was not satisfied with this number.

He has read the Records of Chengzu, and also called out the old files of the Ministry of War to inspect. As the most elite combat force in the Ming Dynasty, the three major battalions of the Beijing Division had as many as 10,000+ at their peak. , which is barely 12.According to Sun Chengzong, when he first took over the third battalion, there were only more than 9 people in total, and among the 9 people who were really capable of fighting, they couldn't even pick out 1 people. After Sun Chengzong took over, Adopting the method of survival of the fittest, fierce people like Liu Ting were kept, and the rest were all sent back to their hometowns.Right now, the 12 people I have seen are almost all recruited by him again. In other words, because of the generous salary of two taels of silver per month, this has the current scale and situation.

Thinking of Sun Chengzong's hesitation when he said these words, Zhu Changluo sighed, closed his eyes lightly, and fell into closed eyes meditation.

"Teacher, 12 people sounds like a lot, but in fact it is far from enough." There are many contents in just one sentence.

The atmosphere in the tent instantly became quiet, and Sun Chengzong and Zhu Changluo didn't speak for a while.

Don't look at Sun Chengzong's silence, but he clearly understands one thing in his heart: the Ming Dynasty has few other things, but there are many people.As long as the money can be spent, recruiting another 10 people is only a matter of minutes.Sun Chengzong really didn't lie. There are a group of hot-blooded guys lingering in front of the three major camps every day, and in the past few months, more and more people have gathered after hearing the news. It is no exaggeration to say that , all looking forward to the bleeding eyes waiting for the barracks.

But Sun Chengzong is a mature and prudent person, he knows that people are easy to pay, but it is difficult to pay, so he said that these people eat, drink and scatter every day, plus the annual military salary of these 12 people, this year is not worth 300 million taels of silver , did not dare to open the door to set up this stall, so Sun Chengzong could only remain silent.

Seeing the frowning Zhu Changluo lost in thought, Sun Chengzong said with relief: "Your Highness, don't worry. As the saying goes, you can't get a fat man with one mouthful, and you can't dig a well with one shovel. We have 12 people right now. Although the number is not many, it's better to be alone." They are all elite soldiers, and I dare not say that one is against a hundred, but it is no problem to be ten." Although what he said was a joke, the confidence in his tone was unquestionable.

After seeing through Sun Chengzong's thoughts, Zhu Changluo smiled when he came back to his senses. He had made up his mind, and turned to Sun Chengzong and said, "Teacher, starting tomorrow, we will select 12 elites from the current 3 people. , can raise another [-] people!"

Thirty thousand?Seeing Sun Chengzong's eyes widened in surprise, Zhu Changluo nodded firmly, his drooping eyelashes turned up suddenly, and his eyes shone so brightly that Sun Chengzong no longer dared to look directly at him, so he hurriedly looked away, listening to Zhu Changluo's words. The words echoed clearly in his ears: "These 3 people are reserved for the establishment of the third battalion of Shenji Battalion. I want to equip them with the latest and best weapons, so...they must be the elite of the elite. "

With a thud in his heart, Sun Chengzong gasped, thinking of what the prince said during the military parade just now, he couldn't help but feel his heart pounding wildly.As the commander of the capital's three major battalions, he naturally knew that each of the three battalions had a division of labor. As a generation of military genius, he knew better than anyone else the power of firearms in the current war, but he also knew the limitations of firearms.

Sun Chengzong lowered his head and raised his head, and asked seriously: "Your Highness, what is the latest and best weapon you are talking about?"

Regarding Sun Chengzong, Zhu Changluo had nothing to hide, and smiled immediately: "Aside from patrolling the camp today, this is the real purpose of my visit."

When Zhu Changluo put a flintlock gun into Sun Chengzong's hand from the box beside him, the muscles on Sun Chengzong's face stiffened in astonishment... Immediately after Zhu Changluo tried it in front of him, Sun Chengzong was already ecstatic To completely speechless.

Compared with flintlock guns, matchlock guns not only solve the problem of inconvenient firing and firing, but also solve the fatal problem of matchlock guns being restricted by the weather. What is Zhu Changluo solving, and what is the significance of owning such a musketeer team? Sun Chengzong knew it very well, and when Zhu Changluo took out a picture from his arms and explained the three-stage shooting method in detail, Sun Chengzong was so shocked that he was almost speechless.

In his opinion, the power of muskets is already unparalleled. Coupled with this suitable attack method, Sun Chengzong can already imagine that in the future, this 3-strong team will be able to defeat any tiger wolf with several times its strength. teacher.After knowing everything, Sun Chengzong didn't say a word, got up, adjusted his clothes, backed up, and then knelt down upright, looking at the man with clear eyes and clear wisdom who penetrated everything, in an almost pious tone: " Your Highness is unparalleled in calculation and far-reaching in thinking." As he spoke, he kowtowed three times respectfully, as if he was worshiping a god rather than a human being.

---

Suddenly there was a soft sound outside the palace door, and when Zhu Changluo woke up from his trance, he looked up, and it was Wang Anxi who stepped in with a smile on his face.

"Your Highness, what do you want me to do?"

The weather has been fine recently, and Wang An is also in a good mood, because Wei Chao is gone.Wang An asked a lot of people about this matter, but no one knew that Wei Chao had gone there. A living person just disappeared without a sound. Wang An felt a little inexplicably empty in his heart when he was happy, but Wang An was a A very optimistic person, no matter how you say it, without Wei Chao, he would be the only eunuch in front of His Highness the Crown Prince. Thinking of this, Wang An's mouth and eyes couldn't be closed with joy.

"Well, you go out of the palace once, go to the Mo Mansion to invite Mo Jiangcheng into the palace, and just say that I have something to say."

Wang An agreed with a smile, and was about to turn around and go out, when he took a peek at him suddenly, and slowed down his steps, as if he was hesitating.

He didn't want to talk, Zhu Changluo, who was writing with his head down and writing, had already noticed it, and snorted: "If you have something to ask, get out of here after you ask."

There was scolding in his smile, and Wang An, who knew his temperament, felt relieved, turned around and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I dare to ask, where is Wei Chao going?"

Seeing the prince squinting at him, the eyes seemed to be fished out of the ice and snow, Wang An felt a little cold and weak, and felt that something was wrong. When he was about to run away with oil on the soles of his feet, Zhu Changluo had already withdrawn his gaze, and said lightly: "I I sent him out to do some errands, and he will return to the palace soon."

Wang An let out an oh, and immediately discounted his joyful eyebrows and smiles, and passed the decree without a word.

As for what Wang An was thinking, Zhu Changluo had the same idea, but he didn't intend to intervene.Both he and Wei Chao have their own fortunes, so naturally he won't waste his energy, what he's thinking about now is another thing, that is money!

I have already released Haikou in front of all the officials, and built three major constructions to build the Daming Navy. They will not use a tael of silver from the national treasury, but only use internal funds.But what is internal money?The internal treasury is the emperor's private treasury, did Wanli's father really want to open up the internal treasury and spend money like running water to raise soldiers?Zhu Changluo knew the color of Wanli's face without even thinking about it...so the internal money to raise soldiers can only be used as an excuse to stop the mouths of the officials.

So where does the money for raising soldiers come from?The 600 taels of silver knocked from Rodia's body was to be used to activate the navy, and this money must not be moved.And the several million taels of silver on hand can only be used to maintain the three major battalions and make guns, so what will happen in the days to come?
Spending money is like flowing water, and to attract living water, Zhu Changluo naturally thought of someone... Mo Jiangcheng.

Suddenly he smiled wryly, and if he wanted to reuse Mo Jiangcheng, he had to untie his knot first.

When Zhu Changluo was rubbing his hair and worrying, Li Tingji, who was working in Wenyuan Pavilion, inadvertently picked up a memorial book, opened it and looked at it for a few times, his face suddenly changed, he stood up suddenly, his eyes widened The cow is still big.

Yu Shenxing, who was closest to him, was the first to notice his abnormality, and it was rare for him to be angry these few days, so he rolled his eyes angrily, and said sarcastically, "What's the matter with you, did you take the wrong medicine? "

In the past, even if Yu Shenxing said something harsher than this, the good-tempered Li Tingji would at most respond with a hehe smile, but this time, the uncharacteristically Li Tingji not only did not show the slightest smile, but instead looked serious, picked up the Zhezi walked quickly to Shen Shixing.

In front of everyone, Yu Shenxing felt that he couldn't take his face off, and when he passed by, he pulled him tightly: "What's wrong, let me see."

Knowing that Li Ting ignored him, he stretched out his hand to pull his hand away, and said impatiently, "Don't make trouble, something serious happened!"
