Chapter 342: The Emperor is summoning
If Liu Chengfeng said this normally, most of the people in the Zhengxin Palace would be happy and relieved.
But at this critical moment, Liu Chengfeng corrects his mistakes if he knows his mistakes, avoids being arrogant and impatient, and does not make trouble in the future. Isn’t this a life-threatening person?
Li Dongyang quickly said seriously: "The Marquis of Lianzhou is a man. You are dedicated to serving the country, eliminating traitors, and combating rebels. Although the methods are too extreme, you are decisive and decisive. Who dares to criticize them? Even if some people secretly criticize them, this is just a villain's heart. Why should the Marquis of Lianzhou be minded?"
This sentence almost made Liu Chengfeng praise him to the sky. It turned out that in everyone's eyes, Liu Chengfeng's "noisy" became an advantage. Liu Chengfeng even felt that he was shining with light and full of highlights now?
"So that's how it is. Does Mr. Li think so?" Liu Chengfeng looked like he suddenly realized.
Li Dongyang smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't know if this guy was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, but at this time he could only bite the bullet and say, "Of course."
Liu Chengfeng asked Liu Jian again, "Where is Mr. Liu? Does Mr. Liu think there is something that the officials need to be corrected?"
Liu Jian glared. He originally thought that what Li Dongyang said was a bit disgusting, but he also knew Li Dongyang's suffering, so he had to calm down this fool at this time. Unexpectedly, Liu Chengfeng actually asked him about it. He couldn't help but feel a little angry and wanted to scold Liu Chengfeng a few words. But at this time he found that both the emperor and Li Dongyang were looking at him, and Li Dongyang even blinked slightly at him.
This means: "Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu, this Liu Chengfeng is our last life-saving grass. If you say the wrong thing, how should you explain to Your Majesty? How can you be worthy of the country?"
Liu Jian was speechless for a while, and after a long time of breath, he squeezed out a smile that he thought was very kind, and said calmly: "Well, did the Marquis of Lianzhou ask me? I... cough cough... I also think that Mr. Li was right, Liu Chengfeng, you are very grateful for your personality. The Ming Dynasty needed a talent like you."
Liu Chengfeng said suspiciously: "Is that true?"
Liu Jian's old face turned red and he quickly said seriously: "That's true."
Liu Chengfeng sighed and couldn't help but smiled mockingly. His eyes turned around and he was about to fall to Xie Qian. At this moment, Li Dongyang became nervous. Xie Qian was too straightforward. It would be better to kill him than to let him talk lies with his eyes open. So he quickly laughed dryly and said, "Liu Chengfeng, I'll tell you what I should say. In fact, there is really a difficult thing in the court at the moment. Cough cough... Doesn't Your Majesty have something to say to Liu Chengfeng?"
Zhu Youting was speechless, for a while, such a serious matter was caused by such an embarrassing situation. At this time, after hearing Li Dongyang's reminder, he woke up and said seriously: "Liu Chengfeng, I have something to ask you."
When Liu Chengfeng saw that it was good, he stopped and said, "Please make it clear to you."
Zhu Youzhang was unwilling to mess with this guy anymore, so he told the whole story of the war letter and immediately said: "You planned to build the student army. Now the student army will face the Wasserman in ten days. Let's talk about it, how sure are you?"
Liu Chengfeng said seriously: "Does Your Majesty want to listen to the truth or the lies?"
Usually people ask this, and there is most likely no good news. Zhu Youzhang's eyebrows frowned deeper and said, "Let's talk about it, what about lies?"
Liu Chengfeng said: "If the Wei minister tells lies, he will not have a chance of winning."
"What about the truth?"
"Fifty percent...even if you lose, you won't lose too ugly!"
Zhu Youzhang took a deep breath, but at this time, he didn't feel surprised, but he just felt that Liu Chengfeng was boasting too much and said, "What's the reason?"
Liu Chengfeng explained: "Wei Message tells His Majesty that he has no chance of winning. This is because we have selfish intentions and are afraid that he will be punished if he loses the battle at that time."
Zhu Youzhang couldn't help but nodded. Liu Chengfeng's concerns were not unreasonable. He said too much at the beginning. If he lost, he would definitely be punished if he brags before.
Liu Chengfeng continued: "But I believe that the student army is not without the power of a battle. The student army has been practicing for more than two months and has been very effective. Although it may not be elite, I have three victories. This victory is that the Watshu people rely on their own force, and they will inevitably feel proud and complacent in their hearts. They may not be willing to do their best during the battle. When they really do their best, they are afraid it will be too late."
This time, it was not just Zhu Youting nodded, but even Liu Jian and others couldn't help but agree. There was an old saying that arrogant soldiers would be defeated. Although everyone was not engaged in military affairs, they knew what the ancestors said. Think about it with their hearts, if they were a thorn man, they would not have the intention.
Liu Chengfeng continued: "This second victory is that the student army is familiar with the combat methods of Watshu people, but Watshu people are ignorant of the student army. The student army knows themselves and their enemies, so the chance of victory naturally increases a little more."
Knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated in a hundred battles is also what our ancestors said, and it makes sense. You should know that this student army is a military horse that has been retrained. It is said that many of the tactics are special. The Watshu people have repeatedly fought with the Ming Dynasty, and the way of fighting has never been innovative. They are always so three-pronged. It can be said that the way the Ming Dynasty fought against the Watshu people is familiar, and Liu Chengfeng's reason is reasonable.
Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly and said the third reason: "Third: the student army has been completely renewed under the training of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. These people are all loyal and righteous people, loyal to His Majesty. Since this battle is related to the face of the court, they are willing to fight to the death with Wasatren."
After Liu Chengfeng said that, he stood up from the chair, bowed to the ground, and said solemnly: "I am willing to supervise the formation personally and drive your Majesty. The other soldiers are deeply grateful to the country and are willing to repay their lives. I am not afraid of death. This is my third way to win. Please observe it clearly."
This article is a bit nonsense, but it has added a lot of confidence to Zhu Youzhang and the three cabinet masters. Wu is not afraid of death, so who can be afraid of it? When Liu Chengfeng talks about this, who dares to doubt their hope of victory?
"Okay!" Zhu Youzhang also became excited: "On that day of the match, I will personally beat drums and cheer for the student army on the Wengcheng Tower, and with the momentum of Liu Aiqing and all the soldiers, I hope you will return in triumphantly. I will have a great reward."
Liu Jian also felt a little relieved at this time, and he couldn't help but think: Liu Chengfeng is indeed Liu Chengfeng. Although he is crazy and crazy, he really has the ability to turn things around in the face of major issues. Not to mention the student army, just his eloquence and courage, it is no wonder that the palace values ​​him so much.
At this time, Liu Jian couldn't help but truly appreciate Liu Chengfeng.
Liu Chengfeng said: "I obey the order, Your Majesty will watch on the wall of the city tower to see how I defeat the thief."
Zhu Youzhang couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Liu Chengfeng's words came to his heart, and the worries in his heart were completely wiped out. No matter what, people expressed this attitude. No matter whether it was a victory or a loss, as long as they were willing to do their best, even if they were defeated, they could still retain some decent part of the court. After all, this student army was just being built, and as long as they did not lose too badly, at least the court also had a remark.
Zhu Youzing thought for a while and then said, "From now on, the student army will be under the jurisdiction of Liu Aiqing. Liu Aiqing, I will hand over the student army to you. You have to do something. Also, if the student army lacks anything, even if you go to the Ministry of War, I will inform you that as long as the court can give it, you will try to meet the needs of the student army as much as possible."
This is a red light for Liu Chengfeng, which means that the excellent weapons that the student army had to get to the Ministry of Works before had to make trouble in the work department, but now it is within reach.
Liu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Does Your Majesty take it seriously?"
"Is this fake?" Zhu Youzhang opened his mouth, and of course there was no reason to take it back.
Liu Chengfeng said seriously: "Weichen heard that the workshop set up by Jubao Trading Company in Lianzhou specializes in producing a kind of musket. This musket has a good texture and is more sophisticated than the muskets made by the Making Bureau. However, this musket was forged in the manufacturing house and sold to nobles from all over the country. Recently, more than a thousand pieces were stored in Nantongzhou's warehouses, but the price was a little more expensive..."
Sometimes this guy Liu Chengfeng is quite shameless. Because Jubao Trading Company is an industry in the palace, it provides many conveniences in many businesses, such as the production weapon is a board taken by Zhu Youting himself, but Liu Chengfeng is good. Isn’t this explicitly asking Zhu Youting to pay for him to buy muskets? Jubao Trading Company has a large portion of the palace and a small portion of Liu Chengfeng. Anyway, no matter what, Liu Chengfeng can make a lot of money. The palace is equivalent to turning the money from the left hand to the right hand. Although it does not lose too much, it has also been divided by the shareholders of the trading company.
Zhu Youting raised his eyelids. Liu Chengfeng was a loyal righteous man in Zhu Youting's heart just now, but now he has become a cunning face like a merchant, and his face is changed so quickly.
Zhu Youzing smiled bitterly and said, "I just don't know how much money this musket costs."
Liu Chengfeng stretched out his finger: "It is said that at least thirty taels of silver will be needed!"
Xie Qian, who was silent on the side, couldn't help but say, "Is this musket shot from gold?"
Liu Chengfeng said seriously: "Can an excellent musket kill the enemy, can gold kill the enemy?"
This rhetorical question directly left Xie Qian with nothing to say.
In fact, thirty taels of silver per musket, and one thousand is only thirty thousand taels of silver. This does put a lot of pressure on the national treasury, but it is only a drop in the treasury in the palace, which is now rich in treasury. Zhu Youzhang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Okay, let the merchants immediately transport the goods from Beitongzhou into Beijing overnight. The money will be released from the treasury."
