Daming reckless man

Chapter 5

Zhang Hao told Zhang Rong that he had a way to deal with them. If he really wanted to fight, he could fight, but Zhang Rong didn't take it seriously. He knew about his son, and there was no way he could do anything about it.

"Father, I really have a way. Although I dare not say that they will be wiped out, at least I can deter the Tatar soldiers!" Zhang Hao looked at Zhang Rong very sincerely and said.

Zhang Hao knows that Zhang Rong has always hoped to learn from his ancestor Zhang Fu, make contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and become famous in history, but Zhang Rong's martial arts are mediocre, and he has never commanded any battles. Zhang Hao also wants to help Zhang Rong, and also wants to consolidate it. Zhang Rong's position in Jiajing's mind.

Jiajing is good to the British government, and he also trusts Zhang Rong. This is why Jiajing does not let Zhang Rong command. He is also worried about Zhang Rong's loss, and it can be said for sure that after this battle, the capital's The guard is still handed over to Zhang Rong, and Jiajing still believes in Zhang Rong.

"What can you do?" Zhang Rong had just finished reading the official document and sat down beside the fire.

"Father, give me a few hundred catties of pig iron, in addition, a few hundred catties of gunpowder, and some craftsmen. Look, I'll get you something good." Zhang Hao sat there, looked at Zhang Rong and said with a smile.

"That won't work, pig iron and gunpowder both need to be registered and can't be given to anyone!" Zhang Rong immediately waved his hand and said.

"Then you can give me a few dozen pounds, okay, give me more craftsmen!" Zhang Hao sat there and continued begging.

"You kid, gunpowder is very dangerous!" Zhang Rong still disagreed.

"Father, I don't move it, I just let those craftsmen do some work!" Zhang Hao explained.

Zhang Rong found that his son talked a lot today. Usually, he would sit there motionless at this time. If you didn't ask him, he wouldn't speak. But today, he actually took the initiative to talk to himself.

"Hao'er, you. Do you feel unusual today?" Zhang Rong looked at Zhang Hao and asked.

"Ah?" As soon as Zhang Hao heard it, he was over, and he fell into a trap. He just pretended to be on the first day, and then he failed.

"Well, forget it, it'll be fine if it can be cured, okay, Dad can give you 100 kilograms of pig iron, but I can't give you more gunpowder!" Zhang Rong didn't plan to ask anymore, anyway, this is his son, It would be nice if you could be smarter.

"Thank you dad!" Zhang Hao said and stood up.

"Well, sit down!" Zhang Rong said to Zhang Hao.

"Father, give me the craftsman, pig iron, and gunpowder now, and I want to prepare something!" Zhang Hao stood there, urging Zhang Rong to say.

"Okay~!" Zhang Rong had no choice but to think in his heart, he should coax his son. His son's performance was still good today.

At this moment, on Jiajing's side, Lu Bing handed over two reports to Jiajing. The first was that Ding Rukui's son robbed Zhang Hao of money, and that he stayed in a brothel at night. The second was that Qiu Luan bribed the Tatar Khan with a lot of money. According to Al's report, Hou Rong and Shi Yi's staff were conspiring with Qiu Luan.

"Shame, this is the shame of my Ming Dynasty!" After reading the second report, Jiajing's body was shaking with anger, and he threw the memorial to the ground.

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Lu Fang and Lu Bing immediately knelt down and persuaded Jiajing.

"It's all hidden from me, ah, it's all hidden from me, look, look!" Jiajing pointed to the memorial on the ground and shouted to Lu Bing and Lu Fang.

"Your Majesty, this minister is negligent, please punish the Emperor!" Lu Bing knelt there and kowtowed.

"Even the soldiers outside know it, but I don't know yet, eh? How long are you going to hide it from me?" Jiajing continued to stare at Lu Bing and questioned before his anger subsided.

Of course he wanted to question Lu Bing about this matter. Lu Bing was in charge of Jin Yiwei and investigated the affairs of the world's officials, but he did not report such a big matter.

"This minister is guilty, please punish the emperor!" Lu Bing still kowtowed and said.

"Who recommended Qiu Luan?" Jiajing sat there and asked suddenly.

"Back to the emperor, it's Mr. Yan Songyan!" Lu Fang replied.

"Check it out, Qiu Luan, how many benefits he has given to Yan Song!" Jiajing said suddenly.

"Yes!" Lu Bing knelt there and kowtowed again.

"And this Ding Rukui, the son of how to educate, my capital was trapped, he actually stayed in a brothel at night, and he dared to rob Manzi's money? Who gave him the courage to rob the British public's second son's money in broad daylight? Check, Continue to investigate Ding Rukui's son's wrongdoing! I want to see what else he has done!" Jiajing stared at Lu Bing and said.

"Yes, the minister will check immediately!" Lu Bing said.

"Just check Ding Rukui's son. After checking, send it to me. If a fourth person knows about it, I can't spare you!" Jiajing warned Lu Bing.

Now Ding Rukui is still the minister of military affairs, and now the Tartar army is outside the city, Jiajing does not want to have any trouble at this time.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lu Bing nodded.

"Go out!" Jiajing waved his hand, and Lu Bing went out immediately.

At this time, Lu Fang stood up and picked up the memorial on the ground.

"Zhang Manzi has made great achievements, but unfortunately, Zhang Rong is not easy. The eldest son has not been able to do anything for so many years, and he is still weak and sick. There are problems with Manzi's brain, eh!" Jiajing suddenly mentioned Zhang Hao at this moment.

Lu Fang heard it and said, "The British family has been loyal to Daming for generations. Yesterday, in the battle outside the city, Zhang Rong commanded 5000 people to fight against the Tartars. However, the soldiers were not trained enough and lost to the Tartars. Fortunately, Zhang Hao was brave and rushed in. Rescue the trapped soldiers and kill a lot of enemies!"

"Well, after this war, let Zhang Manzi come to me, and let the imperial doctor go and show Zhang Li! There can't be no successor!" Jiajing said while rubbing his forehead.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lu Fang nodded, and then said, "It's time to choose a guard, and let those noble children come and choose!"

"Well, you will remind me then!" Jiajing said, Lu Fang nodded.

Lu Fang has always been by Jiajing's side, serving Jiajing since he was a child, earning Jiajing's trust, and this person is also very honest.

At this moment, in Yan Song's mansion, Ding Rukui came to visit Yan Song late at night and asked about the countermeasures for defending the city.

Yan Song sat there, thinking for a while. Originally, Qiu Luan was the commander this time, but he didn't expect that he was injured by Zhang Hao before he took office, and he is still recovering in the house.

"The capital is no better than other places. If you lose the battle, you can hide it, but this is at the feet of the emperor, so it's better not to be able to defend it!" Yan Song thought about it and said.

"Yes, this subordinate knows, but the Tartar soldiers have been killing, burning and looting in the suburbs. If they don't fight, they may cause the people to rebel!" Ding Rukui said worriedly.

Such a robbery, if the court does not mobilize the army, the people will definitely complain, or it will cause a people's revolt.

"It's okay, the Tartars go deep into the capital and do not dare to stay for a long time. The old man believes that within ten days, they will definitely withdraw, especially after the troops of the Qin Kings from various places arrive, they will definitely withdraw. You just need to guard the capital, don't let the Tartars Tar broke the defense of the capital! As for the common people, if they dare to rebel at the feet of the emperor, they are courting death." Yan Song still sat there and said calmly.

"Yes, then, the lower official will restrain the defenders and not take the initiative to attack. However, now that Zhang Rong is in control of the north, Zhang Rong may not listen to me." Ding Rukui said and became worried again.

"If he wants to fight, let him fight. If he loses, the emperor will punish him. It's better if he wins. Why are you worried about this?" Yan Song turned to look at Ding Rukui, still expressionless.

"This!" Ding Rukui was still a little worried.

On the other hand, Yan Shifan, the son of Yan Song, stared at Ding Rukui dissatisfiedly and said, "What's not to worry about, if Zhang Rong wants to fight, let him fight, and what about Qiu Luan? What's the matter? Is it really Zhang Manzi?

This matter needs to be investigated clearly. The defenders of the capital are not Zhang Rong's private army. Zhang Rong dared to send someone to injure the general sent by the emperor. Dad, this matter must be strictly investigated! "

"Yeah!" Yan Song hummed, without further words.

Ding Rukui glanced at Yan Song, then turned to Yan Shifan and said, "The fact is that Zhang Manzi beat him, the generals who accompanied him said so, and at first, they didn't know that this was Zhang Manzi, thinking it was Zhang Rong's personal soldiers. ."

"Then it must be investigated carefully. There must be some tricks in it. You let Qiu Luan and the other generals insist that Zhang Hao made trouble unreasonably. Qiu Luan told him to go, but he didn't go. There is news that Zhang Rong deliberately instigated it!" Yan Shifan still did not intend to let Zhang Rong go.

Because Zhang Rong was there, they had a lot of inconveniences to do. Even Jin Yiwei's commander Lu Bing and the others could handle it, but Zhang Rong couldn't handle it.

"Old Yan Ge? Do you have anything to add?" Ding Rukui turned to look at Yan Song.

"Don't say that Zhang Rong ordered, the emperor will not believe it, otherwise, Zhang Rong will not be allowed to guard the north, just stare at Zhang Manzi, and hurt the main general, it is related to the city's defense, the sin is unforgivable, Zhang Rong's eldest son There has been nothing to come out of, if Zhang Hao is killed, the British prince will also have no successor." Yan Song said with his eyes closed at the moment.

"Ah, yes, Dad!" Yan Shifan's eyes lit up when he heard this, but the old man was wise, and he hit the Zhang family seven inches in one fell swoop, and then told Ding Rukui: "Tomorrow, let the military officials meet Zhang Manzi, I am here. Bian will also let the other censors participate together, and I must let the emperor punish Zhang Manzi!"

"Yes, the lower official knows!" Ding Rukui nodded immediately and said, hating Zhang Manzi in his heart, and now his son is still wearing the clapboard with his right hand, his face is swollen and disrespectful.

The next morning, a large number of Zhang Hao's memorials were sent to the cabinet, and now there are only two people in the cabinet, Yan Song and Lu Ben, of which Yan Song is the first assistant.

"This, refer to Zhang Manzi? Zhang Manzi is not a court official, this?" Lu Ben said with those memorials, looking at Yan Song in embarrassment.

"Well, Zhang Manzi injured Qiu Luan. Qiu Luan was originally the chief guard of the city this time. Now you know the situation in the capital. If there is no chief guard, what should we do if the guard fails? The officials below are probably I'm also worried about this, but I still need to let the emperor know!" Yan Song sat there and said.

"Hey, but Zhang Manzi is a child, and he's also a fool, this!" Lu Ben still didn't want to send it up.

Yan Song raised his head and glanced at Lu Ben, and then said, "I don't dare to hold back so many official memorials, so let the supervisor of li decide!"
