In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed. During these months, Xue Hong, apart from taking time out to hang out with Zhu Hui and Chen Chen, was busy fooling Andre, a foreigner.
The rest of the time, except for occasionally going to court or going to the Ministry of Industry to do scientific research, I basically don't go out.
At the end of the year, Emperor Longqing took advantage of the great victory in Liaodong and the issue of Niu Jizong's empty salary to conduct an inventory of the entire Nine Borders.
Unexpectedly, without this group of nobles, we couldn't do it. Every important town in the Nine Borders has a problem of empty pay!! It's just a matter of who drinks more soldiers' blood and who drinks less.
In addition, it was the end of the year and everyone was asking for money. Emperor Longqing originally thought that the tens of millions of taels of silver obtained from confiscating homes in Jiangnan could be spent for a long time.
As a result, salaries were paid, silver was awarded, and the three armies were rewarded. At the end of the year, the palace made purchases, repaired the palace, held sacrifices, entertained ministers, and allocated places to buy grain for disaster relief...
Bang! Tens of millions of taels are gone...
Now Emperor Longqing sees everyone as money, there is nothing he can do! The treasury is really poor!!
Moreover, Emperor Longqing has recently begun to rectify the capital camp and recruit capable low-level generals from all over the country. Young and passionate generals from all over the country are constantly filling the capital camp. Maybe Emperor Longqing is preparing to do something big in the coming year!
As for why Xue Hong doesn't train with the army commander? Xue Hong knows it in his heart. If you ask him to crush the game with technology or rely on strength to push or surprise soldiers, if you ask him to command the army and train troops, he will really be a layman. That stuff is awesome It's not as simple as it seems.
It's not like you can train troops by shouting "one, two, one," let alone applying modern military training methods to ancient times.
First, the nutrition of ancient soldiers could not keep up. They really had to carry heavy loads and go cross-country every day. According to the training volume of the modern army, if 10,000 people were trained for 180 days, 5,000 would be wasted!
Second, to borrow a classic line: What are you doing for a few hundred dollars a month? If someone really asks the soldiers in the Beijing camp to follow modern military disciplines, a mutiny will definitely occur within a month! After all, what matters now is that soldiers have to eat food. , it is a matter of course.
…
As for the little old man Andre, what should I say? Maybe the ancient people were too simple, and those who were deceived by Xue Hong were stunned for a while!!
Ever since Xue Hong knocked Wang Ziteng's stew stick, she has been busy with a noble cause... counterfeiting!
Based on traditional mythology, coupled with the prehistoric concepts of later generations, and mixed with the contents of messy novels, the original Bible was finally born.
It is said to be the original Bible, but in fact the content is made up by Xue Hong, but it is not completely made up. Xue Hong made reference to the prehistoric times and the Cthulhu mythology of later generations.
In this original Bible, God is one of the first generations of human beings created by Nuwa, the younger brother of the Jade Emperor Qiong Gao: Qiong Hua.
Because he disagreed with his brother's ideas, after ascending to the throne of God, he went to the west alone to create the world.
The entire Bible is described from the first perspective of God, and is mixed with many elements of the Cthulhu mythology of later generations. Even Xue Hong from the Age of Ending Dharma of Buddhism is added.
In short, the meaning is: God was originally the brother of the Emperor of Heaven in the East, and later went to the West to create living creatures.
But the west is a barbarian land, full of monsters and ghosts, and a barren land. The real paradise is in the east.
And he left a prophecy in the voice of God: When the gods retire in the future, the church will be controlled by the devil and tamper with the doctrine. It must go to the East to find salvation.
Moreover, Xue Hongzhi only wrote a few words about most of the stories without describing them in detail. After all, the more people talk about this stuff, the more mistakes they make, and it is even harder to tell lies.
After several friendly conversations and some of Xue Hong's unfair methods, Andre can now be said to have been completely deceived.
A little old foreign man went to the Taoist temple every day to worship Sanqing, and was stared at by all the Taoist priests.
Xue Hong could already foresee the future scene in which Andre would lead the Ming army to rescue the Western people from danger.
Hmm...Andre might have a hard time, but his disciples should be able to do it...
…
If we want to say who has been the happiest in the past month, it must be Emperor Longqing.
Since the trade with Houjin, Ming Dynasty has obtained a large amount of cattle and sheep products through Houjin.
And the most important thing is that Hou Jin really took action against the Chahar and Horqin tribes.
Originally, the two tribes were fighting fiercely for food and fodder for the activities. Hou Jin took the opportunity to intervene and robbed a large number of cattle, sheep and horses, and then paid tribute to Emperor Longqing.
This also made the two major tribes who were already not wealthy even worse.
Emperor Longqing sold some of the artifacts that had been eliminated from the palace to the nobles of Houjin at a 25% discount.
Originally, Emperor Longqing thought that Houjin didn't have that many cattle and sheep, so he planned to ask them to make an IOU. Unexpectedly, the nobles of Houjin paid the full price!!
It turns out that the Houjin nobles suddenly realized a problem: the Chahar tribe and the Horqin tribe were too easy to grab!!
Therefore, Hou Jin, in line with the fearless spirit of not going to hell, and whoever he loves will go to hell, robbed the two major tribes of Chahar and Horqin three times in one month.
Captured more than 300,000 cattle and sheep!! 10,000 horses!
As for Chi, the leader of Houjin, he is still lying on the bed after vomiting blood. Naturally, his control over Houjin has seriously declined, and the nobles of Houjin have also begun to have some thoughts.
However, one of Chi's sons showed his talents, worked hard to stabilize the mentality of the nobles, and showed extraordinary political skills. His name is Ji.
(I'm taking a day off today. I owe you a chapter. I have gastroenteritis and I'm on a drip. I'm sorry, everyone, this chapter is too watery because it's too uncomfortable. When the author gets better, I'll make more compensation.
.
One more thing, please be more rational in the comment area. Why do you follow me every day and send me private messages to teach me how to rub bomb detonators with your hands?
Two days ago, an older brother taught me how to make a bomb with sugar, and also told me how to make an atomic bomb!!
They also asked me to take pictures and post them in the comments section after making them!
In this regard, I can only say: I just want to write a book, not squat in a single room wearing a bracelet (??﹏??)
If the author goes in, you won't be able to see the book.
