Chapter 400 Scratching Emperor Chongzhen's itch!

~~~~~~~~~

The great eunuch Wang Chengen personally walked down the platform and took the brocade box from Liu Ruyi's hand!

He did not open it immediately, but went under the high platform, where the officials could not see it, and carefully checked it!

However, although he turned his back, Liu Ruyi could clearly see that the moment he opened the brocade box, Wang Chengen's body trembled almost instinctively!

One million taels of silver notes!

This is not just a number, but a real banknote in front of you!

This huge temptation is full of strong visual impact. Even with Wang Chengen's status, I'm afraid he can't be calm!

"Your Majesty, please take a look!" Wang Chengen suppressed the emotions in his heart and respectfully handed the brocade box to Emperor Chongzhen!

After listening to Liu Ruyi's words and seeing Wang Chengen's performance, Emperor Chongzhen could already guess what was going on here!

However, when he actually opened the brocade box, he was still shocked by Liu Ruyi's handwriting!

I saw that there were ten stacks of thousand taels of silver notes neatly stacked in the brocade box, each stack of a hundred pieces, exactly the same!

Moreover, these banknotes were not from Liu Ruyi’s Great China Development Bank, but were taken from Shanxi Old Bank!

The bright red watermark is like a girl's lips, making people want to kiss it!

"Haha~! Hahaha..." Emperor Chongzhen no longer had any worries in his heart, and the trace of resentment towards Liu Ruyi disappeared instantly as the brocade box was opened!

"Liu Aiqing, you are very good, very good! Haha!" Emperor Chongzhen wanted to restrain his expression at this time, but the stacks of warm banknotes in his hands made it impossible for him to be serious and bear it.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud!

Liu Ruyi could understand Emperor Chongzhen's gaffe. After all, although he was the emperor, he inherited the mess left by his ancestors. He had already paid a lot for Ming Dynasty to reach this day!

"Sharing the emperor's worries is the blessing of a humble position! You dare not take credit for a humble position!" Although the banknote blocked Emperor Chongzhen's words, Liu Ruyi became more respectful and bowed down humbly!

"Okay! Okay! Haha, Liu Aiqing, I really saw you right! You are serious! I will remember it!" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help laughing, as if he had suddenly become a few years younger!

None of the surrounding ministers knew what kind of riddle was going on between Emperor Chongzhen and Liu Ruyi!

But just by looking at Emperor Chongzhen's face, all the ministers could guess with their buttocks that Liu Ruyi, the Holy Family, is back again!

"Liu Aiqing, my army is about to go on an expedition, so you must be busy with military affairs! I am so rude about what happened today! Haha! But that doesn't matter! Now that I'm here, I have to take care of the meal, right? Haha!

It will be morning in a while, so come and have dinner with me!"

The bridal sedan bearers carry people!

Liu Ruyi gave Emperor Chongzhen enough face, and in turn, Emperor Chongzhen also intended to promote Liu Ruyi!

"Your Majesty loves me so much, I will never give up even if I die!" Liu Ruyi knelt down respectfully, kowtowed three times, and looked at Emperor Chongzhen with a smile!

Emperor Chongzhen also smiled, and the emperor and his ministers looked at each other, saying nothing!

But he treated all the civil and military officials of the DPRK and China as if they were nothing!

~~~~~~~~~

With Liu Ruyi's appearance, the early morning session is coming to an end!

The emperor wants to invite this man named Liu to dinner. Who among the civil and military officials can jump out and mark the emperor's time?

The example of Wang Xinyi is right there!

Soon, with Wang Chengen's loud voice like a drake, the morning session ended successfully!

The civil and military officials dispersed one after another, and Liu Ruyi accompanied Emperor Chongzhen to the imperial study to have a meal!

As before, Emperor Chongzhen was still so stingy. Only five or six dishes of side dishes were placed on the large table with an area of ​​more than ten square meters. However, the portions were much more generous than when Liu Ruyi accompanied Emperor Chongzhen to dinner last time.

A lot!

Eat without talking, sleep without talking!

Like chewing wax, after finishing this breakfast, Liu Ruyi was about to say goodbye, but Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said to Liu Ruyi: "Liu Aiqing, you know what happened today. In fact, I also have many unspeakable difficulties.

ah!"

Liu Ruyi was stunned for a moment, but she immediately understood what Emperor Chongzhen meant. Emperor Chongzhen wanted to bow his head!

If in the early court days, Emperor Chongzhen quietly apologized to Liu Ruyi in front of the ministers, then now is the time to make it clear face to face!

"Your Majesty, you are serious! I am a minister of the Emperor. Even if I have suffered some grievances, I still believe that according to your sage, the emperor will give me justice sooner or later!" Liu Ruyi bowed humbly and smiled at him.

Emperor Chongzhen said.

"Haha!" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but smile, "Liu Aiqing, you are the one who knows me best! Haha! By the way, what exactly do you think about the Beijing camp you mentioned today? Please tell me in detail!"

Liu Ruyi couldn't help but smile, Emperor Chongzhen was indeed tempted!

The matter of the Beijing camp was not something Liu Ruyi said casually, but had been carefully considered!

After all, the most skilled and skilled craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty are still under the control of Emperor Chongzhen, and most of the various firearms they produce are also equipped in the Beijing camp!

For example, the famous ‘Sacred Fire Flying Crow’ in later generations can almost represent the highest level of gunpowder technology in the Ming Dynasty!

Although the Shenhuo Flying Crow is just a rocket, its range can reach a hundred steps away. It looks like a crow and can launch multiple rockets at a time. The most important thing is that the Shenhuo Flying Crow's rocket can carry

Rockets'——sky-shattering thunder cannons!

This is like the fateful missile of later generations!

Although the power is not as powerful as artillery, the Shenhuo Flying Crow is light and dexterous. If it can be used properly, it will definitely become a nightmare for the Manchus!

Moreover, it was the end of June at this time, which was the height of summer. After Liu Ruyi went to the Liaodong battlefield, it would definitely not exceed August!

If the war starts, it should be in the autumn, which can be said to be crisp and clear. The weather in Liaodong at that time will not have any side effects on the performance of the Divine Fire Flying Crow!

This is simply a God-given opportunity!

If Liu Ruyi's current artillery academy recruits were to face Kong Youde's carefully trained artillery battalion, Liu Ruyi wouldn't have much confidence!

But if it is equipped with an advanced firearms battalion from the Beijing camp, even if it does not help much, it will definitely cause a certain deterrent to the morale of the Qing army!

War sometimes relies not only on the bravery of soldiers, but also on the support of various logistical facilities, which is the foundation for maintaining the vitality of war!

There is absolutely no room for failure in the Battle of Songjin!

Therefore, Liu Ruyi will never let go of the available resources!

"Your Majesty, the Beijing camp has advanced equipment, and most of the soldiers are nobles and nobles. They are loyal to you, Your Majesty! Although the Beijing camp has not had any decent achievements over the years! But after all, the roots are still there.

!If a precious sword is hidden in a secret room every day, it will rust sooner or later! Only by constantly seeing blood will it maintain its permanent edge!" Liu Ruyi said with a smile.

After so many contacts, Liu Ruyi also had a certain understanding of Emperor Chongzhen’s character!

He knew how to best impress this king!

Sure enough, when Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought!

Now that the Ming Dynasty has arrived, to put it bluntly, Emperor Chongzhen has almost no soldiers at his disposal!

Although the military household system created by Zhu Yuanzhang when he founded the country can be regarded as a genius, after so many years, the military household system has become rotten at its roots, far deviating from Zhu Yuanzhang's vision!

Generals command the troops, civil servants command the generals!

Although the idea was good, at present, the emptiness of the Ming Dynasty's military power has become an indisputable fact!

Now, if Emperor Chongzhen wants to command the army, he must delegate power to the generals!

Ten years have passed since the Chongzhen dynasty, and it has reached the current level. Even if Emperor Chongzhen is determined, he may not be able to compete with these ruffians and soldiers!

Just like Zuo Liangyu, he knew that this man had ulterior motives, but what could Emperor Chongzhen do to him?

Just like when Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, he killed him happily, but who was going to wipe his ass, and who was going to pay for the aftermath?

If Zuo Liangyu is killed, who can guarantee that Lu Guangzu, Li Guoying, Jin Shenghuan, Zhang Yingxiang, Hao Xiaozhong, etc. under his command will not make the same mistakes as Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming, and Kong Youde?

With Zuo Liangyu here, he can at least maintain a semblance of balance. As long as he doesn't break out, Zuo Liangyu can still carry out the orders of the imperial court in general!

It also has a certain deterrent effect on refugee armies such as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong!

But if you really kill him, the consequences...

Right now, Daming is like a dilapidated house, barely keeping its frame from falling down, but with a little force, if the top beams and pillars are demolished, a domino effect will immediately occur!

Emperor Chongzhen is not stupid, he will never destroy the Great Wall at such a time!

But in Emperor Chongzhen's heart, he never gave up control of the military power. Otherwise, how could he arrange to supervise the army everywhere?

But the actual situation is that the more this happens, the more conflicts there will become in the military!

If you want to change this situation, the best choice is undoubtedly to train a new army! Get rid of all bad habits and start drawing again on a piece of white paper!

But Emperor Chongzhen was not a time traveler after all. He had never read Taizu's "On Guerrilla Warfare", and he did not really understand that "power can come from the barrel of a gun!"

However, Liu Ruyi's words were like throwing a small stone into the heart of Emperor Chongzhen, who was already as dead as water, and ripples appeared in an instant!

Because, if Liu Ruyi's idea can really succeed, then Emperor Chongzhen will truly control an army of relatives for the first time!

How could Emperor Chongzhen refuse this kind of temptation?
