643. Chapter 643 Acting on behalf of the command overseas
Did you summon me to ask about the situation, or did you come to show off in front of me?
Looking at the high-spirited Zhu Houzhao, Qian Wubing had a strange thought in his heart. These days, Zhu Houzhao has not been idle. It is also a good thing for him, Qian Wubing, and even for Ming Dynasty, to compete with the cabinet.
This is a traditional project of the Ming Emperor. Even if Zhu Houzhao and his father were such a generous emperor, the cabinet would not criticize His Majesty Xiaozong for only doting on Queen Zhang and not adding concubines. For a young emperor like Zhu Houzhao, he could persuade the cabinet to implement his project.
Purpose, that is already something to be proud of.
In particular, Zhu Houzhao still has a criminal record. No, not just a criminal record, he has a bad record. He is a mischievous little naughty boy. Even if his idea this time is orthodox, I am afraid that the bachelors in the cabinet will have to consider it.
Think again and again, think again and again, so as not to be led into a ditch by your Majesty the Emperor. If there is really any joke or mistake, when the time comes, it will be their cabinet that will be criticized by the people in the world.
"However, you have to pay for the shipbuilding money!" Zhu Houzhao said for a long time, as if he had just remembered such a trivial matter: "The first batch of one million taels of silver has been allocated to Longjiang Shipyard. This money is
The internal treasury has advanced it in advance, and you will replenish it for me later!"
"The money for the shipbuilding should be included in the amount that should be paid to the inner treasury!" Qian Wubing asked tentatively. It wasn't that he felt sorry for the money. This time he took a trip overseas, and he estimated that he had three to five million.
The two pieces of silver can still fall, but it is not appropriate for him to pay for the money. It is reasonable for him to pay for the Sihai fleet. After all, it is a merchant ship. Even if there are those in this ship
It is not easy for a picky guy to use this reason to criticize him, but using money to build a navy warship is not the right thing!
"No, it's up to you!" Zhu Houzhao nodded, ruthlessly shattering Qian Wubing's luck.
"I don't dare!" Qian Wubing's face turned bitter. He wanted to get it with all his strength. If this matter spread, I'm afraid that the accusations of impeaching him would immediately be overwhelming, and Zhu Houzhao's face would not be used.
How dare a little commander of the Royal Guards care about such a thing? Let’s not talk about your personal accumulation of troops, horses and ordnance. Anyway, if you put on such a hat, you will be crippled even if you don’t die. The problem is, you paid for it.
The warship is yours or the imperial court's, your money is someone's private weapon, or it is the imperial palace's official weapon, don't bring such a thing to ruin the imperial court!
"Don't worry!" Zhu Houzhao laughed, seeing this guy's deflated look again, he was really in a good mood today.
"These warships may not be able to fight immediately after they are built. The soldiers and sailors must be trained and cooperated proficiently before they can engage the enemy. If you pay for it, it will naturally be your ship. In the future, these ships will be incorporated into the Four Seas Fleet.
That’s all, don’t use the name of navy!”
After saying this, he snorted: "When these warships have formed a fighting force, huh, isn't the Xiyi who invaded this time known as the Spanish expedition fleet? Isn't it possible that he doesn't know which small country in the corner of the corner?
, come to expedition against our Ming Dynasty, we are not allowed to use the fleet of our Ming Dynasty to expedition against their ruined country in the future. I don’t care about the good things in their ruined country. I just can’t swallow this breath. The Tatars have bullied us for so many years.
That’s all, such a low-class guy dares to take advantage of my Da Ming, does he really think that I am a sick cat? "
He stretched out his fingers and bent them one by one: "You are in charge of Jinyiwei. This is first and secondly. The money for building this ship is yours. With these two points, no one dares to go to these battles."
Reach out on the boat, but don't speak. I know how tricky the generals in the army are. With so much money thrown out, there's no way they won't make up their minds!"
Qian Wubing waited a little aggrievedly for Zhu Houzhao to finish, then he said with lowered eyebrows and eyes: "I am not the commander of the Jinyi Guards, I am acting on behalf of you!"
"This is really troublesome!" Zhu Houzhao frowned and did not explain the reason. Qian Wubing stood quietly in front of him, waiting for his words.
"Then Mu Tianqiu is yours!" After a while, Zhu Houzhao said this.
Qian Wubing nodded. Even Mu Siniang and Zhu Houzhao knew that when Li Feng'er was pregnant, Mu Siniang had been guarding Li Feng'er. Zhu Houzhao was afraid that he would have already figured out everything about the eighth generation of the Mu family.
It’s clear. There is no need to defend this matter at all!
"Otherwise, let him be the commander of the Jinyiwei!" Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of a great idea: "If he does it to you, it's almost the same! Anyway, he listens to you!"
Much worse, much worse! Qian Wubing nodded with a wry smile. Zhu Houzhao had already said this. What else could he do? Could he say, no, Your Majesty, I must be the commander of the Jinyi Guards?
"Mu Siniang seems to be pretty good too. I heard that she has always been your personal guard!" Zhu Houzhao said with a chuckle: "You can still be your colleague, but I will give you a marriage to the only daughter of the Mu family.
, isn’t this Mu Tianqiu your father-in-law? Anyway, the meat is rotten in the pot, so it’s not the same thing if either of you is the commander."
The Queen Mother still doesn't want to see me! Qian Wubing sighed, forcing Zhu Houzhao to use this method to deceive himself. Of course, this can also be seen as Zhu Houzhao's love for his ministers. Isn't it said that thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the king?
, those who don’t know the inside story are probably extremely envious of the Mu family and themselves. Only the person involved knows what a bizarre development this is.
In particular, as soon as the emperor opened his mouth, it was regarded as a decree. Did he accept it or not?
"You and your father-in-law have discussed the matter of Jinyiwei. However, since you have been away from the capital for a long time, there is not much for you to do. However, your title needs to be changed. In the past, Jinyiwei Tongzhidai commanded.
, now add two more words, it is still acting on behalf of the commander, but with the addition of overseas, um, Jinyiwei and Zhidai command on behalf of overseas operations! You two sons-in-law, one is in charge and the other is in charge of outside, take good care of this country for me!"
"Is Dongfan considered internal or external?" Qian Wubing asked this clearly first, as this was something he couldn't afford to be careless about.
"Of course it's outside!" Zhu Houzhao gave him a strange look: "It's not you who moved those Li people there, who cares about this place? I heard that you are doing well where you are now. Work hard and we will be the Ming Dynasty's expedition fleet in the future.
, maybe we’ll start from your place!”
"I understand!"
"Well, now, you can tell me about Xiyi this time, starting from the first time you met their fleet!" Zhu Houzhao sat down: "Don't be in a hurry, tell me slowly, you will come home to visit
Time to be a spoiled wife!”
…
"Liu Qianhu, please allocate fifty musketeers to me. I don't want them to attack the opponent's village. I only ask that they can cover my artillery team and get as close as thirty steps to the opponent's fence. Three
Ten steps, as long as thirty steps, the Crouching Tiger Artillery Team can kill them all!"
Outside the city, in front of the simple fortress at the foot of the mountain, Panluo was sullenly begging Liu Hua, who was expressionless behind him. Beside him, Wali was limping with one leg and leaning on the tree, full of emotions.
His face was full of expressions of gloating.
The Zhenla people suffered more than two hundred casualties, and Wali felt pain in his heart. But when he saw the Champa people also losing their troops in front of this ungnawable bone, he felt inexplicably better. Look, this Liu Qianhu
, It’s not that we Zhenla people can’t do it. The Champa people also have more than a dozen small artillery pieces, but they can’t take this place.
If it was a competition, this Wali must be a strange flower in the world of competition. He never thought that he was not qualified to compete with the Champa people. The people of Ming Dynasty didn't care how many people died in front of him.
The soldiers who occupied the city were all sergeants of the Ming Dynasty in name. This meant that they had to take refuge, and they had to be on a first-come, first-served basis!
"This is impossible!" Liu Hua rejected Panluo mercilessly, "That's not how the Crouching Tiger Cannon is used. Moreover, the Xiyi's fire cannons have a range of more than thirty steps. Our shields may not be able to block these.
Iron man!"
"But my son-in-law's body is even more unstoppable!" Panluo shouted loudly. His capital is not as strong as that of Wali. Even these hundreds of people have managed to get together. They are his die-hard loyalists.
That was really a death blow, and it made his heart tremble!
"That's your business!" Liu Hua remained unmoved and slowly walked away. Behind him, neatly organized officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were waiting in full formation. However, the target they were on guard for and prepared to attack was not
The Spaniards inside the fence were the Champa people who were fighting the Spaniards. Even the Chenla people were faintly guarding the Ming army's array, blocking the Champa people's possible retreat.
This means if you don’t give me an explanation, then I will give you an explanation!
Liu Hua understood Wang Shouren's meaning very thoroughly. Either you Panluo and your people will die cleanly here, or you will kill these Western barbarians completely. There is no other way.
Walk!
"Bring the injured people back!" Panluo looked aggrieved, and his eyes seemed to be bleeding: "Come with twenty people, cut down trees, and make cars. As long as we send the artillery team to the door of these guys, we will
You win!"
"I may not have enough people. Prince Wali, can you lend me some people to cut down the trees?" He glanced at Wali sideways: "Don't you think Prince Wali wants to destroy this ghost village and give it to his brothers?"
Are you letting out a bad breath?"
Wali glanced at Liu Hua, and when Liu Hua nodded slightly, he waved: "I will lend you fifty people, but you have to give me fifty red-haired ghosts who are not dead. This person
, I have to let my people kill you!"
"Deal!" Panluo nodded, took off his clothes, and shouted: "Everyone, follow me!"
