As soon as Huang Jin left, Lu Fang came. It didn't look like there was any good news.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Zhu Houcong said a little helplessly. He only regretted that he didn't have enough troops in his hands. If anything happened, he could only stare.
"Master, Henan is a great victory. King Yin's army launched two attacks and was repelled. Now it is hiding in Kaifeng. Do you need to attack?" This is a relatively comfortable news recently. Lu Fang means to deal with it as soon as possible.
King Yin's rebellion, and then the rapid gathering of the army, the current situation in the capital is really uneasy.
Zhu Houcong didn't even raise his eyelids. Beating him was not the same as beating his son. It would be weird if he retreated steadily. It can only be said that this was expected.
"No need, just surround it. Kaifeng is not a small place. If a war breaks out, these tens of thousands of people may not be able to take it. Just surround it like this. There is not much food in it. Sooner or later, we will not be able to survive."
Yes." Zhu Houcong rolled his eyelids, why attack the city? It's just a waste of time. Who is afraid of whom?
I have collected a wave of grain before. There must be grain in Henan, but it must not be much. If it goes on for a long time, the people there will not be able to bear it. Zhu Houcong does not want to capture a city, so let him take it.
, If you don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are, do you really think that a big chassis is a good thing?
"Master, why don't you withdraw a group of people? I think leaving 20,000 people is enough. The current army in the capital is still too small to guarantee your majesty's safety." Although your majesty didn't like to hear it, Lu Fang still wanted to hear it.
It should be said that the capital now has only 30,000 troops at full strength. The key is that most of these people are new troops. The combat effectiveness is really open to question.
"If you are worried about this job, I have told you that there is no need to worry. More than 20,000 people are completely enough. There is no need to transfer them back. There are many people on King Yin's side. If there are not enough people,
I'm afraid I won't be able to scare them, so just relax. I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?" Zhu Houcong rolled his eyes. The emperor is not anxious and the eunuchs are not. He is not afraid either. Everyone on Yang Shen's side is ready.
He was just waiting for someone to pick it up. He was eager for someone to come in, otherwise his preparation would not have been in vain.
"Well, since your Majesty said so, I can't say anything." Lu Fang sighed. He couldn't say anything. Your Majesty is determined. A gentleman will not build a dangerous wall. Your Majesty is determined to use himself as a bait.
, to fish out some people with ulterior motives.
"That's right, just be obedient and do your job well. Why are you worrying so much? I must have my own plans. You think I don't care about my life. If something happens, I will definitely run faster than you.
"Is there anything else?" Zhu Houcong said haha, Lu Fang is so lovable, even if he doesn't like him, even if he has an opinion, he will complete his explanation to the letter.
"Your Majesty, the Japanese pirates on the southeast coast invaded our border again, but wars are raging now. Do you mean to take it easy? There are not many people. We can wait for this incident to pass before solving the problem." Lu Fang knew that if he did not persuade His Majesty,
I will never let those Japanese pirates go, but I have to talk about these things. I can only give some advice and hope that Your Majesty will not be impulsive.
"Japanese pirates?" Zhu Houcong squinted his eyes. This is not a good word. It is a problem left over from history. No matter whether Zhu Houcong shows he cares about it or not, as long as he hears this word, it will always arouse the anger in his heart.
"Yes, in fact, there have been Japanese pirates invading the border along the coast, but they were not very serious. They stopped for a while some time ago, but recently they have started to make trouble again. There are not many of them, but they are very scattered. If there is a fight, there will be fewer troops.
It may not be possible to defeat them, and if there are too many, it will be a waste of troops. I think it is better to let him go first. If he wants to rob, let him rob. We can just take care of our own affairs."
Lu Fang didn't pay attention to the change in His Majesty's expression. This was the best solution he could think of at the moment. There was a shortage of troops everywhere. It was impossible to draw troops from various places because of this rogue bandit. This was unrealistic.
"It's ridiculous. Do I want to ignore the people of the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Houcong threw the tea cup to the ground. This was a matter of face. If he was beaten, he might give in, but this is a Japanese pirate, and he doesn't care about others.
But he remembers this grudge. A small place with no corners or a big egg still dares to jump up and down in my face. It’s okay if he doesn’t go to trouble these guys, but he still dares to provoke me.
Lu Fang was shocked by this sudden turn of events. Under his influence, His Majesty has always been a kind of intangible expression of joy and anger, and his performance is very sincere, but under this sincerity, you will never be able to guess.
Your Majesty's thoughts.
But it's very different now. He can clearly feel His Majesty's anger. In his mind, His Majesty has always been a representative of calmness, but His Majesty today is very abnormal.
"But Master, we really have no troops left. Your Majesty, please think again." Lu Fang said with a bitter face. There are only 30,000 troops in the capital, and we can't send any more troops. The Japanese pirates are just ringworm on the hands and feet. Although it is uncomfortable, it can be tolerated.
, now it is a matter of life and death. In normal times, this Japanese pirate problem would naturally be used to show the dignity of the country, but now, it can be put aside.
Hearing Lu Fang's advice, Zhu Houcong also had a slight headache. It was really difficult to deal with, but he was unwilling to let these bastards go. He could tolerate anything else. After all, he still had a sense of the overall situation. If he really wanted to divide his troops,
If you lose against these Japanese pirates, you will have nothing.
"I know, I know, is there anything else?" Zhu Houcong had a headache. Where could he recruit more people to deal with these Japanese pirates?
"That's about it. Your Majesty, you must think twice." Lu Fang was afraid that Your Majesty would give away the last bit of his wealth on impulse, and the city of Beijing would really be empty by then.
"I know, I know, you go down first. It's not like I don't know about this situation." Zhu Houcong waved his hand impatiently. Can he not know the situation? But this is a matter left over from history. It's still the same sentence. Maybe someone has forgotten it.
History has been lost, but there will always be people who will remember that if we don’t fight, they will feel unhappy.
"Master..." Lu Fang saw that His Majesty's face looked very ugly and wanted to comfort him.
"Okay, okay, you go ahead and do your work first. I know the situation better than you. I can still figure out which is lighter and which is more important. You can rest assured." Although I am not willing to give in, I really can't send troops at this time, so I will go first.
Let those guys have fun for a while.
"No." Lu Fang bowed slightly and left.
Looking at Lu Fang's back, Zhu Houcong could only sigh. He originally thought that more than 200,000 would be enough, but in the end there was still a gap. It would be great if there were a few thousand more elite soldiers.
"Elite soldiers?" Zhu Houcong suddenly had an idea in his mind. He seemed to have such an elite army. It seemed to be along the coast, right?
Zhu Houcong touched his chin. Yes, it was Wang Yangming's one. To be honest, he originally wanted to develop it obscenely, but the actual situation did not allow him to allow it. Therefore, in a short period of time, Wang Yangming's one seemed a bit useless. In fact,
Otherwise, as long as the grassroots officers are well trained, they can quickly raise an army for Wang Yangming.
He didn't want to use it at first. After all, it was all precious wealth, but now he couldn't use it. If he didn't live a small life, he would not be comfortable and his heart would not be smooth. He remembered that Wang Yangming should be in the coastal area, and he had been there before.
I heard the news about him fighting Japanese pirates. This time it was just right.
He did what he said, and Zhu Houcong immediately went to Yang Shen to inform him, and to see how his Jinyiwei training was going. There were thousands of Jinyiwei. This was his trump card. If he didn't do well, wouldn't he be at a loss?
, his requirements are not high, just a few thousand guns, a few hundred sharpshooters, and the rest is just a firepower net.
"Hey, hey, hey, you haven't slept in how many days?" Zhu Houcong curled his lips, why are all my generals looking like this? Yang Shen had big dark circles under his eyes, and he looked depressed at first glance.
In addition, Zhu Houcong felt pitiful looking at his little face because he often didn't see the sun.
"Your Majesty, are you here?" Yang Shen's eyes were bloodshot. He had indeed stayed up for several days. There was no other way. After the war, there was a shortage of supplies. He had to hurry up with production and the research and development of some products. It was very difficult.
I am busy, and the caliber of the cannon cannot be changed for the time being, but I have recently studied some explosive shells, especially for cavalry. When the time comes, one cannon will hit the cavalry formation on the opposite side, and the formation will be immediately disrupted.
There are also some various mines. He has completely let himself go now. Anyway, the weapons are as powerful as they come. If it weren't for the gasoline His Majesty mentioned, he would have tried to get some incendiary bombs. Fire attacks have always been commonly used in ancient times.
The strategy is to use fire oil, but the effect is honestly unsatisfactory. I heard from His Majesty that the gasoline used in the incendiary bombs burns easily, and I don’t know if it is easy to use or not.
"Even if the war is tense recently, you can't exhaust yourself. You still have to pay attention to rest. You can't fall first before the framework is established. I have already told you that the days to come are still very difficult.
Sir, we still have a lot of things to do. Although these things now are important, they are not that important. On the contrary, you can slowly hand over these things to the people below. As long as the general direction is right, you
There’s no need to do everything yourself.”
Zhu Houcong was really afraid that this guy would fall. It had only been a year, and he had spent a lot of effort to help him recuperate his body before. How long had it been before, and he was like this again? Zhu Houcong was also very helpless. This made him
What did he do? He really didn't regard his own body as his body. Even if he didn't feel sorry for Zhu Houcong, he felt sorry for her.
"Thank you for your concern, your majesty. I'm fine. I wonder why your majesty came here this time?" Yang Shen waved his hand. He knew his own body. He was just a little tired. He could just rest for a while. Mainly, he felt that he was still fine.
Listening to interesting things and watching magical things being created in my own hands gives me a special sense of accomplishment.
"It's nothing serious. Can you contact Wang Yangming?" We really need to contact Jin Yiwei for this matter, but I don't know if Yang Shen knows about it. This guy seems to be addicted to the research and development of weapons, and other information seems to be a bit wasted.
"It should be possible. A few months ago, His Majesty asked Wei Chen to send him a batch of firearms. Wei Chen handed it over to them through Jin Yiwei, and then nothing happened. I also didn't inquire about their address. The main reason is that Jin Yiwei is out of town now.
It’s not enough, it’s hard to say whether we can find Wei Chen.”
Yang Shen didn't say so absolutely. He could only say that he should try his best, although he didn't know why His Majesty wanted them.
"Well, you give it a try. Send him a message asking him to deal with the Japanese pirates on the southeast coast. I really can't spare the manpower here. I really don't like those ghosts." Zhu Houhuang nodded slightly and gave it a try.
, it’s good if it works, but if it doesn’t, he has no choice. He really can’t draw out the army, or it’s the local army. Even if he has no soldiers available, he doesn’t bother to use them. A rotten melon is worse than an underripe one.
melon.
"No." Yang Shen nodded slightly, and then directly called his subordinates to give him two instructions.
"By the way, how are you preparing the firearms and supplies?"
"We've made a lot, why don't we take your majesty to take a look?" Speaking of this, Yang Shen's eyes suddenly lit up. This is really interesting. For example, those cannonballs have huge energy in their small bodies.
, can penetrate gold cracked stone, and not only that, the power can be even greater. He is more interested in this, and he will basically lead the subsequent research and development.
"Forget it, forget it, you have to be careful, don't blow up the city of Beijing then." This thing is really dangerous to say the least. If one accidentally ignites it, the whole city of Beijing is a bit exaggerated. It feels half
Still no problem.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. It's okay. The reserves here are no problem for a few games." Yang Shen assured him, patting his chest.
"Can the people in Jinyiwei know how to control these things?"
"It's more or less the same. At least the people here are basically familiar with the corresponding stuff."
"That's good. I forgot to tell you. Now there are only more than 20,000 people from Qi Jingtong's First Army in the entire city of Beijing, and then there are your Jinyi Guards. If there is an invasion from a foreign enemy, it will be up to you." Zhu Houcong squinted.
His eyes and words sounded like he was joking.
Yang Shen blinked his eyes and asked blankly without reacting for a moment: "Then, where are the Twelve Guards?"
"King Yin rebelled, and I was sent out to suppress it. You have to guard him when the time comes. Otherwise, I can escape if I want, but your hard work will be lost." Zhu Houhuan curled his lips.
"So Your Majesty, I am the last one to know that Beijing is empty?" Yang Shen was a little speechless. If I hadn't said it earlier, the combatants of Jinyiwei would also have to spend time getting familiar with these things. Some of them have never seen them. If they don't rely on these things,
What's really going to happen to these thousands of people in Jinyiwei, it's not even enough to squeeze them into one's teeth.
"Hey, don't I believe you? Come on, my fortune and life depend on you. When the time comes, I will catch them off guard and show off our wealth." Zhu Houhuang patted Yang Shen on the shoulder,
Without him, he would still be shrinking.
Yang Shen rolled his eyes, okay, you are His Majesty, you have the final say.
