Baidu otaku as Chongzhen

Chapter 247
Yang Reform is in a particularly good mood today. Firstly, guns have entered the capital, and secondly, those foolish nobles are scrambling to give him money. There is nothing more gratifying than this.

Thinking of those fools saving money in his family's bank by carload by carload, Yang Reform felt like eating honey.My luck, it seems, is not bad.

Wang Chengen went out to do errands, and came back after a while, saying: "Your Majesty, Man Gui, General Man has arrived." Wang Chengen is also like eating honey today, and the smile on his face has never stopped.

"See you, call me right away." Yang Reform was in an exceptionally good mood.

……

"The crown prince and grand teacher, the governor and Tongzhi, and the general officer Man Gui kowtowed to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

This is the first time for Yang Reform to see Man Gui. He looks like he is in his thirties. Looking at him, he is sturdy and powerful. He is about 1.8 meters tall. He looks simple and honest. The black gauze hat is somewhat refined. [It should be a black hat. After checking the information, it should be a black hat for ordinary audiences, not a general's helmet or anything else. 】

"But Man Gui, General Man?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the minister is right." Man Gui replied in a loud voice.

"Very good, not bad. It looks like a man who has been in the army all year round. Get up." Yang Reform is quite satisfied with this soldier. He doesn't look sissy or weak. From the looks of it, he is also a simple and honest guy. There is a big difference between a guy with rolling eyes.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Man Gui got up.

"Hehe, I have been running for many days. General Man has worked hard." Yang Reform looked at this guy. This guy was killed in battle when the Qing army entered the customs for the first time in the future. He was loyal and reliable. I am very satisfied with this person. What comes down is to grasp this person.

"Return to Your Majesty, it's not hard, I've been on the horse all year round, I'm used to it." Man Gui replied quickly.

"Hehe, General Man, how old are you this year? What is the word? People there?" Yang Reform began to care about Dafa again.

"Return to Your Majesty, I... I'm about 35 years old. I'm a rough man, illiterate, and I don't have a name. I'm from the Xuanfu..." Man Gui was very embarrassed. He hadn't figured out how big it was. As long as I can remember, I started my military career.

Yang Reform looked at this guy, and felt a little interesting. This guy has a simple and honest look, and he can become a prince and grand teacher of the first rank. I have to say, it is a bit of a legend. A rising step, or in other words, Wei Zhongxian and the others back then were not all doing bad things.Yang Reform had read this guy's information, and he could only sigh a few times about it. Now, he has to hold this guy in his own hands and become a knife in his own hands.

"That's right, since General Man is already my first-rank prince and grand teacher, how can he not have a name? In this way, I will give you a name, how about it?" Yang Reform began to recruit this guy.

"Chen... Thank you, Your Majesty,... I finally have a word..." Man Gui looked embarrassed. This person is uneducated, and I don’t know how much he has suffered. He didn’t even have a word, and he became the current prince. Grand Master, I have to say, what a strange thing this is.

"I see that you are loyal to my Ming Dynasty and brave in battle, so I will give you a word of loyalty, how about it?" Yang Reformed.

"I have thanked Your Majesty for your kindness. I finally have a brand name. From now on, others will not only call you by my name... Hehe..." Man Gui was very satisfied, the emperor treated him very well, so he blushed Rough, very rude smirking.

Yang Reform looked at it, and thought this guy was interesting. The prince and grand teacher didn't know whose idea it was. He didn't even know a word, and he was still a grand teacher. If he really wanted to teach the prince, wouldn't it harm a dynasty?
"Man Gui, tell me about your title of Prince and Grand Master, what's going on?" Yang Reform asked curiously.

"Returning to Your Majesty, in May last year, the Donglu besieged Jinzhou. I fought several battles with the Donglu. After the Donglu retreated, I got the title of Prince and Grand Master..." Man Gui told the truth, without exaggerating or concealing the truth.

Yang Reform is very satisfied. What Yang Reform dislikes the most is the kind of people who give money to his face. He hates dishonest people the most. This guy is honest and honest enough, so he is a good candidate.

"Hehe, what I want to say is that since you are a prince and grand teacher, if my prince is born, I will have to teach you in the future. You can't read, what should I do? Doesn't that mean that my future prince will also be a teacher?" An illiterate?..." Yang Reform and Man Gui joked.

"This..., this... Your Majesty, this..." Man Gui was dumbfounded. The emperor actually asked him to teach the prince how to read and write, which made his forehead sweat. , It was more uncomfortable than killing him, and I was sweating profusely.

"Hahaha..." Yang Reform looked at Man Gui's naive look and thought it was funny.This guy is really cute.

"Okay, Man Gui, I was just joking with you. Now my prince has not been born yet, and I don't know how many years it will take to reach the age of school. Let's do this. Since you are a prince and a teacher, you can't read. Absolutely impossible, I will introduce you to a good place to go to my master, Master Sun, and study with Master Sun. Grand teacher, I'm afraid I won't be able to become a teacher..." Yang Reform plans to send this guy to the Army Academy to supplement his knowledge and conduct a systematic education. In addition, it is necessary to standardize the combat methods and will of the troops.

Man Gui was already blushing, but when he heard that the emperor wanted him to read and write, he felt even more aggrieved, and said, "Then your majesty, can I stop this prince and grand teacher? I feel that reading and literacy is really uncomfortable. As soon as I see the words, I feel dizzy, I would rather not have this prince and grand teacher, and I don't want to know the words..."

"Presumptuous, the appointment of the imperial court, the crown prince and the grand master are the supreme honor. Don't tell me you don't want it?" Wang Chengen scolded. It can also be seen that the emperor treats this guy well, and he is afraid that he will become the emperor's favorite general in the future, so he just scolded him as a reminder.

Man Gui immediately lowered his head, as if I was wrong.

Yang Reform was in a very good mood today, and he also thought it was funny, saying: "Man Gui, don't talk like this in the future, you know? The appointment of the imperial court is not to say that you don't want it. Today, I will pretend that I have never heard of it. It is also for your own good that I want you to study. You say, in the future, I will write you a letter, but you will not be able to read it. I will give you a secret purpose. You have to let others read it to know what it means. Didn’t you leak the secrets? In other words, if you leak the secrets, if something goes wrong, you will be punished by the gods. Tell me, shouldn’t you read and read?” Yang Reform began to fool around.

"Return to Your Majesty, this... this, yes, indeed, you should be able to read and write, but Man Gui has been used to being rude since childhood. When I saw the square characters, my head would explode... Your Majesty..." Man Gui saw the emperor's words I am very good, speak kindly, and my attitude is much softer. How kind the emperor treats me!There is also a secret decree for myself, it depends on how good the relationship with the emperor is, for this kind of thing to happen!Man Gui was also confused, why did the emperor treat me so well?

"Hehe, well, Man Gui, Man Zhongming, don't refuse any more. This is the task I gave you. Try to learn one or two words every day. After a year or two, you can also read the Dibao. This level is almost the same, and I don’t want you to play poetry and songs, what are you afraid of? It’s settled like this, the master I found for you is called Sun Chengzong, you should have heard of it.” Yang Reform said .

"Your Majesty said, Master Sun Chengzong?" Man Gui asked cautiously.

"Exactly, he is my master, and he is very knowledgeable. If you learn from him, you will learn quickly." Yang Reform knew that Man Gui's ability to sit on the seat of prince and grand teacher had a lot to do with Sun Chengzong's appreciation. The relationship between Sun Chengzong and Man Gui is unusual. If Man Gui is a bull, then Sun Chengzong is the most suitable one.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I obey the order. I will follow Master Sun to learn how to read well. In the future, I will also be a well-educated person." Man Gui heard that it was Sun Chengzong, so he didn't say anything more. Man Gui admired Sun Chengzong very much for the kindness of Zhiyu's promotion, so he immediately agreed to not worry about reading and literacy.

"Very well, your troops should be stationed in Xishan for the time being, next to Master Sun's new army. I have already set up a camp for you. When you arrive, you just need to be stationed." Yang Reform has long been ready to buy people's hearts. .This kind of work has already been done in advance.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will go through fire and water for your Majesty, and I will not hesitate to do so." Seeing that the emperor treated him so well, Man Gui was also a little moved.

"Hehe, it's not about doing things with words, what I want to see is actual actions, Man Gui, how about your troops, how about their salaries?" Yang Reform asked again.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the minister's subordinates all have land outside the pass, and they usually live on the land. In addition, there are military salaries issued by the court. In addition, there are often rewards such as silver. There is no shortage of food and drink." Man Gui said Coming here, I am very proud. He is a person who can share weal and woe with his subordinates. He has never embezzled or embezzled the money of the soldiers below him. He is quite good for the soldiers in the entire army of the Ming Dynasty. This is Man Gui He is proud of it, so once there is a war, the soldiers can follow him through life and death, and there is only one army that is more capable of fighting.

"Hehe, yes, I know, Man Gui, I have heard about you, you are not greedy for money, nor do you deduct military pay, you are brave in battle, and you are indeed a brave general of our dynasty. This, I know..."

Seeing the emperor talking about his pride, Man Gui also looked proud. He could do what he did. He dared to say that there was no one outside the customs who could do better than him.Therefore, his troops are the most capable outside the pass, and this is what he is most proud of.

"Hehe, settle down first and get acquainted with the place. In a few days, I have something important to discuss with you. In the next few days, let's relax first." Yang Reform does have a lot of things to discuss with Man Gui, such as To clean up the many disobedient Mongolians outside the customs, to weaken the strength of Mongolia, and to let those Mongolian tribes who rely on wild boar skin know that the consequences of offending the Ming Dynasty are very serious. However, this has to be discussed with Sun Chengzong before a specific plan can be drawn.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Hehe, no thanks, let the soldiers rest well in the past few days, and I will reward you with another 5 taels of silver, which can be regarded as the expenses of these few days. Hehe, in the future, we will have to train and fight hard , There is no such a leisurely life." Yang Reform said, after these few days, apart from the hard training, it is non-stop fighting.

"Your Majesty Long En, however, I still have the opening money given by His Majesty last time, and it has not been used up..." Man Gui is a very honest guy, and he directly said that the opening fee given a while ago has not been used up. Give it again this time?Man Gui felt embarrassed that the so-called meritless work would not be rewarded.

"Hehe, don't refuse. In the next few days, divide the money and let the soldiers have a good time in the capital and have a rest. After a while, I will use you a lot. At that time, there will be no such leisure. You guys And don't cry bitter or tired."

"This... I obey my orders. I can endure hardships and stand hard work, and I will never be tired." Seeing that the emperor insisted on giving, Man Gui did not refuse. Anyway, when the time comes to fight for the emperor, he just needs to kill more enemies.

"Man Gui, I heard that you are very familiar with Mongolia, right?" Yang Reform asked, this time, he asked something practical.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it's not the minister. When it comes to Mongolia, there is no one who knows better than the minister. The minister was originally a Mongolian and entered the pass when he was young. Therefore, the minister knows Mongolia well." Speaking of this, Man Gui is excited. With his experience in dealing with Mongolia, he can say that there is no other person in the Ming Dynasty except him.

"Oh, hehe, is that right? Then tell me about the situation in Mongolia and how you dealt with Mongolia." Yang Reform was very interested in this. He had recruited a Mongolian tribe before and acted as the imperial alliance army. Acting as his own eyes and ears, he also sent Jin Yiwei. Now, it is precisely the lack of such a key executor to suppress people. With Man Gui, many of his plans can be implemented. For example, use Man Gui to suppress the Mongolian Imperial Army. Sweep out the disobedient tribes in Mongolia, assist your own caravan to collect wool in Mongolia, and exchange glass for wool or something.

Seeing the emperor asking about his pride, Man Gui said happily: "Your Majesty, in Mongolia, there is only one thing, and that is whoever has the big fist, he will listen to him. Whoever is weak will be bullied. Whoever is more ruthless can survive. Therefore, I have only one way to deal with the Mongols. I am more ruthless than them, stronger than them, and more capable of killing than them. I will kill whoever refuses to listen. That's it..." Man Gui articulated what he was most proud of in a few simple words, and when he finished speaking, he was very proud.

It seems that on the grassland, it is the standard law of the jungle!Yang Reform thought about it for a while, and he was right. In Mongolia, it’s useless just to be Huairou, just to be nice to him. You have to use a knife. It depends on whose knife is stronger and whose heart is more ruthless. In this case, Then don't blame me for being cruel to the Mongols.

"Hehe, that's right, let's continue." Yang Reform also learned something from Man Gui's mouth. He should not be too nice or soft-hearted to this Mongol. Only by killing, only by killing can he convince the Mongol.

"...Back to Your Majesty, there is no more. This is my experience in dealing with Mongolia. It is really gone. I always use this method to handle Mongolia's affairs." Man Gui said honestly with embarrassment on his face.

"..." Yang Reform was speechless, he was indeed a simple and straightforward person, and he was so cute.

"Then I ask you, if I want you to deal with Mongolia now, what will you do?" Yang Reform asked again.

Man Gui scratched his head, only to find that there was a black gauze cap on his head, he was not used to it, he lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, if you want to deal with the Mongols now, it is easy, just look at that tribe is disobedient , and then kill them, chop off the heads of those Jinong, Nuoyan, and Taiji, and they won't dare to be disobedient, it's that simple..."

Yang Reform is speechless. It seems that Man Gui's mind is really simple. After all, it is just one word, kill.

Yang Reform had no choice but to smile wryly in his heart, and said: "Then Mangui, now, on the grassland, who needs to be killed, who is disrespectful to me?"

"Return to Your Majesty, this, I know, now, according to my view, there are many tribes that are unfavorable to our dynasty, such as the tribes of Neikalka, the tribes of Horqin, the tribes of Harashen, the tribes of Chahar, Lin Danhan, There are many tribes that are against me, and speaking of them, they should all be killed..." When Man Gui talked about the things on the grassland, he spoke very smoothly, as if he was eating a meal.

However, it gave Yang Reform a headache when he heard it. Yang Reform couldn't tell who belonged to whom among these tribes, who had a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty, and who had a bad relationship with the Ming Dynasty.

"Wait, Man Gui, I don't understand the tribes you're talking about, please explain more clearly." Yang Reform was confused when he heard the names of those Mongolian tribes. This is more difficult to understand than those in classical Chinese, and he has no clue .

Seeing that the emperor also had a headache, Man Gui also found it amusing, smirked for a while, and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this Lin Dan Khan from Chahar is a Khan on the grassland. The largest tribe is probably in our Datong Mansion." It is outside the side wall; this Harashen is also called Karaqin. The Duoyan Sanwei that I often say belongs to Karaqin. It is north of the side wall of Chaoji Town in my dynasty. Horqin is north of Guangning and east of it. Donglu..." Man Gui spoke clearly and fluently about the Mongolian matter.

However, Yang Reform suffered a lot when he heard it. Recently, he only paid attention to internal affairs and was always making money. He had no time to care about things outside the customs. The little Mongolian information he knew before is now completely confused.

"Wait, this, Man Gui, let's talk about it later, let's stop here today..." Yang Reform felt dizzy and didn't understand the affiliation of these tribes, their geographical distribution, and their relationship with the wild boar skin of the Ming Dynasty. There is no way to talk about it, so we have to suspend it.

Man Gui was a straight person, seeing that the emperor also had a headache, he also smiled naively.

Seeing that this unprepared conversation could not go on, Yang Reform had to end this conversation. This, you have to familiarize yourself with the materials from Mongolia before you are qualified to talk about it!After thinking for a while, he said, "Big companion, bring my binoculars, pistols, and saber." Yang Reform prepared a lot of things for this guy.

"As ordered, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen agreed.

……

After a while, Wang Chengen brought the three things the emperor said, namely a silver tube telescope, a silver inlaid pistol, and a saber. The saber is the standard equipment of Jin Yiwei. The sword is the top grade among Xiuchun swords.

"Man Gui, this is the telescope I gave you. I wish you can observe farther and understand the enemy's movements earlier when you are fighting, so as to predict the enemy's opportunities first." Officially give this telescope to Man Gui.

Man Gui hurriedly knelt down on one knee, raised his hand above his head, took over the telescope given by the emperor, and thanked him.

"Man Gui, this is the pistol I gave you. May you be as powerful as this pistol, capable of piercing through the enemy and defeating the enemy." Yang Reform handed the pistol to Man Gui again, and Man Gui still knelt on one knee, He took the pistol with both hands raised high.Thanks again.

"Man Gui, this is the saber I gave you. I wish you to go forward bravely, be invincible and invincible in battle." Yang Reform gave Man Gui the saber again, and Man Gui still took it, thanking you again.

"Man Gui, get up. I hope you will not disappoint my expectations of you. I transferred you to Beijing because I valued your loyalty and the ability of your team to fight. I hope you will continue to work hard and kill the enemy for me." Yang The reform did not tell Man Gui the truth, but just told the truth.

"My minister Man Gui, Man Zhongming must live up to His Majesty's expectations, fight the enemy bravely, defend Your Majesty, and defend the Ming Dynasty." Man Gui expressed his loyalty loudly.
