Chapter Eight hundred and Thirty-Four: The Little Tiger
Capital.
Last night, the air suddenly turned cold, and at midnight, a heavy goose-feather snow fell quietly. When I woke up early in the morning, the whole capital was covered with silver, the snowflakes all over the sky, the snow on the roof, and the eaves that grew.
The ice icy signs the early arrival of the winter of the 15th year of Hongzhi.
When it comes to snow, everything seems to be desolate, and the bare trees are boring. Only on the road are there, there are endless streams of carriages walking back and forth. As for the city, it is much less crowded.
On the side of the Ministry of Revenue, a new constitution was sent to the cabinet.
Because the fire was born in the cabinet, it was still as warm as spring, but because the charcoal fire was too strong and the air was not circulating, it gave people a very dull feeling.
Today, the three cabinet ministers are here, and even the crown prince Zhu Houzhao is here as usual. Zhu Houzhao is now here except for going to Zhengxin Hall to serve the emperor on the sickbed. Although he is reluctant to come here, Zhu Houzhao is a seat.
It was really a torture to let him follow these ministers to watch various memorials every day.
However, now that his father is seriously ill, he really dared not cause trouble, so he had to go to his father's place to greet him early in the morning. Then he rushed over. Under normal circumstances, there was no way he could decide what happened here, and the cabinet first
He proposed the ticket, and then gave it to him to see it after the ticket was drafted, and then sent it to the palace to ask the Sili Supervisor to approve the prize.
In theory, the Sili Supervisor is responsible for approving the dividends and has great power. If others are not sure, the tickets proposed by the cabinet will be in vain, but this is the Hongzhi Dynasty. The Sili Supervisor is just a rubber stamp, almost the tickets proposed by the Cabinet ministers.
When sent in, there is no reason why the Sili Supervisor does not approve it.
Therefore, this is the most important thing to draw a ticket. As for Zhu Houzhao, it is just a detailed look. If you don’t understand something, you can ask. In this regard, the three cabinet ministers encouraged Zhu Houzhao to inquire about the ticket. What’s wrong with it?
It is very beneficial for the prince to ask more places to ask more questions, but Zhu Houzhao just pretended to look at it. But never asked questions, which made people a little discouraged. Everyone knows that the prince is a little absent-minded.
However, in private, the three cabinet ministers were still considerate and would always find many reasons to comfort themselves. After all, the emperor was seriously ill. His Royal Highness was worried about the emperor, so he was naturally absent-minded. His feelings were pitiful, so naturally there was nothing to say.
The cabinet ministers think so just self-comfort. The crown prince is not a person like his father. Sometimes he is really annoyed, so he just takes a nap in the cabinet. When encountering this situation, Liu Jian
Often, they cough very hard or knock on the table. When Zhu Houzhao wakes up in a drowsy way, they don’t know how to say anything, and then pretends to write a ticket. Zhu Houzhao is awakened, so she naturally dares not act rashly, and only
Can pretend to pick up the draft tickets on the document and look at them.
The atmosphere in the cabinet was very strange. Zhu Houzhao's life was quite depressing. If this continued, I really didn't know when it would be the end. Although this time the father asked him to come to observe the politics, the eastern palace was very excited, and a few companions were Liu Jin.
The leaders were all in high spirits, just as after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince observed the politics, they also rose.
It was almost noon, and there was heavy snow outside, but there was charcoal fire inside. Zhu Houzhao couldn't bear it anymore and was drowsy and was about to fall asleep again.
Suddenly, a rapid sound of knocking on the desk sounded. Zhu Houzhao woke up and quickly cheered up again. There was still crystal clear and unknown liquid at the corner of the mouth. She immediately sat up straight and picked up the ticket on the desk.
.
However, the sound of knocking on the desk this time was obviously not to remind him to pay attention. Xie Qian was knocking on the desk. Xie Qian looked very bad. His knocking attracted the attention of Liu Jian and Li Dongyang.
Xie Qian said: "As Liu Gong expected, you can come and take a look, it's really shocking and shocking..."
I used two consecutive shocking things, which shows Xie Qian's mood at this time.
Liu Jian said to Xie Qian: "Yu Qiao, what's the matter?"
Xie Qian said: "It's not about the new army. The new army said a few days ago that we wanted to practice artillery, which was the five hundred artillery we sent. Look, we came on a memorial and said we wanted to pay the bill, hey...
...This is not called checkout, it is clearly a death urging. What did Liu Chengfeng say? It was said that five hundred artillery was transported, but the new army lacked artillery, so he chose to fill the warriors of each battalion. In total, he chose two thousand
The rest of the people also said that the military pay of these people should be distributed according to the new military standards. In addition, Liu Chengfeng also said that although artillery is barely enough, artillery is not easy to carry. Although it is full of power, it needs to be enough.
The guards guarded and prevented problems before they could happen, and also required three thousand musket soldiers to fill the number, and the imperial court had to buy five thousand muskets at the moment in order to prevent the shortage."
Liu Jian had actually expected that Liu Chengfeng would play this trick, but at this time, he couldn't help but frown. What Liu Chengfeng is best at is taking advantage of the problem. He had long expected that this guy would definitely not just want artillery.
It's so simple, now it's true that we are coming again. We are going to recruit artillery and expand musket soldiers. After a few moments, we have to recruit 5,000 people. In addition to the expenses of purchasing weapons, it seems to be a lot of money.
number.
Xie Qian sneered: "There is even more outrageous. If it were just these, it would be fine. After all, it was understandable. Liu Chengfeng said that now the new army is in the battle formation, and although they have won many battles, there are still many.
The biggest disadvantage is melee combat, so I want to choose ten thousand warriors, train like a new army, and distribute war horses, including two thousand cavalry and eight thousand infantry. In this way, there are both infantry and cavalry, and then
Only by fighting in concert with musketeers and artillery can you achieve the invincible effect of attacking and fighting.”
Liu Jian's face looked very bad: "There are ten thousand people again? I, the Ming Dynasty, have many infantrymen, and even cavalry, why do you want his new army to come and practice it? It's ridiculous."
Xie Qian said: "Liu Chengfeng is cunning. He just said that all the troops need to fight together, so it is better to train them all by the new army. He also said that the other units are useless, and the cavalry and infantry that are to be recruited will be recruited in the future.
We fight in joint combat with musketeers and cavalrymen, so we must maintain a tacit understanding, so please do not follow the cabinet."
Liu Jian didn't even think about it and said, "No, this precedent must not be opened. If everything is up to him, our cabinet will be his new army's wallet. He now wants to take advantage of this opportunity to suppress the rebellion and expand it greatly.
New Army, what's the best for the new army? The new army that raises a battalion is enough to support ten times the soldiers, and the court does not care about it."
"wrong!"
A voice that was not very harmonious sounded, but woke up from a dream. Zhu Houzhao, who finally understood what was going on, was the lifeblood of Zhu Houzhao. When he heard someone slander, he immediately mustered up his courage and retorted: "
Liu Qing's family, the combat power of the new army is more than ten times that of ordinary officials. You have not seen the situation of each battalion. They are all a group of mobs. What can the imperial court do to support them with so much military salary? But the new army is different.
The army is an elite soldier. In the future, whether it is to suppress rebellion or fight against the Mongols, what can it be if there is no backbone of the strong and strong force wearing strong and holding on to the sharp edges alone?”
"What Master Liu wrote in the memorial is not unreasonable. Since there are artillery, someone should always control it, so naturally there is artillery. With artillery, someone needs to guard it to prevent the enemy from going sideways when the two armies are fighting.
The battle formation of artillery must be surrounded by an elite army, so it is also very reasonable to recruit 5,000 musketeers. As for the eight thousand infantry and two thousand cavalry, it must be Master Liu's careful consideration and careful consideration of the ideas afterwards.
, How can the cabinet reject it without asking?"
"I think that Master Liu is not wrong. The three cabinet masters serve the court in the cabinet, so of course they are dedicated to the good of the court. But Master Liu is also serving the court in Jiangxi, and it is also for the good of the court. Everyone is all
For the sake of the court, how could he reject Master Liu's opinions? After all, he has more military affairs than the cabinet, so it is better to listen to his opinions more on this matter."
Zhu Houzhao said a lot of words, and thought what he said was quite reasonable and took good care of the face of the cabinet. Zhu Houzhao even felt contented for him to say such a big truth. Who knew that these three cabinets
The old people looked at each other. They could not have imagined that the prince was so poisoned that it was so deep that it really made people feel a little sad.
"Your Highness!" Liu Jian said with a serious expression: "What are your highness sayings? What is Liu Chengfeng's military affairs are just a waste of money. Does the prince know that Liu Chengfeng has to practice artillery, and the one-day training cost is
How much money has been wasted? Humph, the account he reported to the Ministry of Revenue was 23,000 taels of silver, saying that it was a daily exercise. The gunpowder and shells consumed by 700 cannons in one day were 1,000 kilograms and 17,000 kilograms of gunpowder and shells.
The number, plus other expenses, is the amount of money spent every day. The prince knows how many river embankments can be built in these 23,000 taels of silver and how many schools can be built. When the famine is in the year of famine,
How many people can be saved?”
Liu Jian's generous speech made Zhu Houzhao stunned. After all, he was very young and was not a rival to someone like Liu Jian. Zhu Houzhao was speechless for a moment. Zhu Houzhao had to forcefully say: "Disaster needs relief."
, It’s not that the school is not built, Heti is also building, but the new army also needs to be trained."
Chapter 1 is here, I ask for monthly tickets with tears in my eyes. Today, the third update is starting. Speaking of which, the Chinese New Year is updated, why do monthly tickets always come to the bottom?
