Chapter 358
Liu Hongjian stayed in the account room for more than half an hour, and it was already dark when he came out.

The ruins of the burning penthouse had been cleaned up by the servants, and Mrs. Li, who got into trouble, was fine, but insisted on kowtow to Liu Hongjian.

Not only did she kowtow, but she also made her son kowtow. In this era, a grand master like the Duke of the State could not be found even with a lantern.

If it was put in the house of another official, it is estimated that even if Li sold his son or himself, he would not be able to pay for the house in the Duke's mansion.

Liu Hongjian accepted the women's apology and kowtow from them, and he himself was humbled before, which made them feel at ease.

If you do good with your heart, you will not be rewarded for being good, and if you do evil without intention, you will not be punished for being evil.

The key is to look at the person. If those nobles and relatives provoked him, Liu Hongjian would force them to kneel down and sing conquest.

But these people... It is already so difficult to live, how can he bear to add fuel to the fire.

Liu Hongjian sighed, the current Daming only temporarily stabilized the situation because of his appearance.

But the people all over the country should still not have enough to eat, still not enough to eat, and those honorable gentry should show off their power, and they should still show off their power in front of the people.

Although everything is not as bad as imagined, it is not as good as imagined.

The common people have no land, they are lingering on their last days, the nobles are ruthless, and the wine of the wealthy family stinks.

But human energy is limited, he must first solve the biggest threat to Daming.

The door creaked and was pushed open by Liu Hongjian. In the room, Sun Xiuxiu was sitting by the bed, as if making clothes for her son.

Yang Xue sat on the edge of the bed with her back to Liu Hongjian, teasing Xiao Aotian silently, while her maid Xiaobai carefully waited on her side.

Seeing that neither of the two wives spoke, Xiaobai saluted Liu Hongjian in embarrassment and brought Liu Hongjian some tea.

Liu Hongjian gave a wry smile, and waved Xiao Bai back.

He knew that, according to Sun Xiuxiu's temperament, which was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, she would definitely be angry with what he did today.

But what can he do?

These things are really weird, even if he tells the truth, Sun Xiuxiu will think he is lying!

"My lords, my husband is hungry, let's go to eat with him." Liu Hongjian said with a smile as he put the tea bowl on the table.

Sun Xiuxiu was still doing the female celebrity in her hand, but Yang Xue turned her head to look, seeing that Sun Xiuxiu was not moving, she stuck out her tongue and continued to tease the young master.

"Xiu'er, did my husband scare you today?" Liu Hongjian knew what the problem was. He walked behind Sun Xiuxiu, bent down and pulled Sun Xiuxiu into his arms.

"Husband, do you have something to hide from Xiuxiu? Seeing how anxious your husband is today, Xiuxiu must have encountered something extremely dangerous..." Sun Xiuxiu looked up at Liu Hongjian, her eyes filled with tears .

"Silly girl, where is there any danger, don't you think you are a good husband?

Good boy, looking at you, crying again, could it be that you were also the reincarnation of Fairy Crimson Pearl in your previous life? "Liu Hongjian wiped away the tears from the corners of Sun Xiuxiu's eyes with his hand, and kissed her forehead lightly.

"If my husband refuses to tell, Xiuxiu is not a woman who asks the truth, but my husband should know that if my husband has any troubles, the concubine will not live alone."

Sun Xiuxiu threw herself into Liu Hongjian's arms and wrapped her arms around Liu Hongjian's waist.

"Master, Xue'er is too. When Xue'er gives birth to the baby in her womb, she will also look for you." Yang Xue has a lively temper, and she can't pretend to be anything.

But Liu Hongjian knew that although this girl said it lightly, she could really do it.

"Hmph! You are still living well for your husband. You see, one of you is crying, and the other is going to find me. You are both mothers, and you are still like children.

It's really unreasonable! "Liu Hongjian pretended to be angry.

"Husband, don't get angry. Sister Xue'er and I are also worried about you!" Sun Xiuxiu wiped her eyes, and then turned to coax her husband.

"Hmph, I'm telling you, I'm very angry unless you agree to something!" Liu Hongjian looked serious, as if he was talking about something very important.

"Master, what is so serious, Xue'er and sister will definitely agree to master." Yang Xue walked gently to Liu Hongjian's side and rubbed his shoulders.

"You sleep with Wei Fu tonight!"

……

Two days later, after repeated discussions with cabinet members, it was finally decided that the date for the army's expedition was set on May [-]th.

The army will be composed of two parts, of which the 500 Beijing Battalion includes the [-] Battalion, the Shenji Battalion, and the Shenji Battalion is divided into Musketeers, Cannon Artillery with [-] people, and the entire Wansui Mountain Thousand Households.

The remaining [-] troops were selected from the important towns on the nine borders. Although it was clearly stipulated that the Beijing camp sent [-] troops, the actual number of troops dispatched was a full [-].

Just like this, under Liu Hongjian's repeated intervention, some unnecessary personnel were abolished.

It is an eternal truth that the army goes first without moving the food and grass. As early as the third day after the plan was made, the household department began to collect all the food, grass and equipment.

Buy more Papershells, Minibumps, Grenades, Cannonballs from the Armory...

All of this must not be done by the soldiers themselves, and there are [-] to [-] civilians under threat.

And this does not include Chongzhen's guards, Luanjia, Xingzai, servants, etc., the Lijian, Yumajian, Sishijian, Internal Officials, and Shangshanjian, there are tens of thousands of people.

For this reason, Liu Hongjian complained specifically to Chongzhen, shouting that they were going to fight the war, not to go sightseeing.

In fact, Chongzhen also knew that this was going to war. He had already streamlined and streamlined the accompanying people, and there were still more than 8000 people.

After all, he is the emperor, and the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty stipulated that the size of the emperor's ceremonial guards and guards should be at least 2, otherwise it would really damage the majesty of the emperor.

But Liu Hongjian didn't care so much, no matter how strong the morale of the Ming army was, he couldn't carry such a burden.

One of the reasons why the defeat of Tumu Fort was taken over by others was that there were too many burdens.

What's more, it's these cumbersome things that mess up the battle first. As long as a group of people run away on the battlefield, it is very likely that the entire war will be defeated.

What's more, the emperor who represents the majesty of Ming Dynasty?
The soldiers didn't know those many people, they only knew that these guys who couldn't fight were the bodyguards of the Emperor of Heaven, and if the bodyguards ran away, it meant that the emperor ran away.

The emperor has run away, and they still make wool?
Liu Hongjian argued hard, insisting that the emperor's entourage, guards of honor, etc. should be reduced to less than 3000 people, and he did not intend to back down.

Considering Chongzhen's condition, these entourages included many imperial physicians from the imperial hospital, as well as all possible medicinal materials, ancient prescriptions, etc., which pulled more than a dozen carts.

After some persuasion, Uncle Chongzhen, who was finally able to go out and enjoy himself, was disgraced.

In the end, Chongzhen compromised, and according to Liu Hongjian's intention, the number of the emperor's entourage was reduced to 980 people.

That is Liu Hongjian, if it was someone else, he would have been beaten by the early imperial staff of Chongzhen.

In terms of safety, Cao Wentai first selected five hundred elites from the palace. It is said that all of them are Lianjiazi, and they can easily deal with ordinary people.

Outside is Liu Hongjian's Wansui Mountain Thousand Households. Although there are not many people in the early [-]s, they are the most well-equipped.

After more than a month of repairs, the Wansui Mountain Qianhu Office was the first to be replaced with the most advanced rifled guns.

In addition, each person is also equipped with a short gun, which is directly inserted into the wallet of the soldier's right leg for easy access at any time.

On the left waist is a Ming Dynasty standard saber, and on the chest are two rows of specially made Mini paper shells.

Whether it is a rifled gun or a smoothbore gun, the infantry array is still used. Before the advent of the breech-loading rifled gun, the superiority of the infantry array was still incomparable.

It was a hearty counterattack, but because of Chongzhen's joining, it became extremely troublesome. The cabinet deliberated and deliberated, all thinking about how to ensure the majesty and safety of the Great Emperor.

In the end, Liu Hongjian simply stopped playing with them. Anyway, according to Lao Tzu's regulations, the entourage should not exceed [-] people. As for you messing around, that's your business.

Chongzhen's imperial conquest, the matter of supervising the country must be handed over to the prince Zhu Cihong, but Zhu Cihong has never done this before, he has been very nervous these days.

Fortunately, he still knows his son Mo Ruofu, Chongzhen and Liu Hongjian discussed a little bit, and they agreed on the matter of the court.

Political affairs are dealt with by the cabinet, and the cabinet will give advice on handling all the memorials, and Zhu Cihong only needs to go through the memorials every day, and if he has his own opinions, he will put them forward, otherwise he can just tick the memorials...

Liu Hongjian also met with Cao Huachun, the new governor of the East Factory, and asked for the East Factory to be regulated as soon as possible, and all officials to be supervised, especially during the Chongzhen imperial conquest.

More importantly, they should always monitor the vassal princes in various places, as well as King Ding and King Yong in the capital.

Sure enough, Cao Huachun was exactly as Liu Hongjian thought, with a hearty spirit and deep eyesight. This is what Dongchang needed.

An honest, kind and honest person like Wang Erxi would not be able to take charge of Dongchang. Fortunately, Liu Hongjian knew Lao Cao's true nature, otherwise he would not have dared to put this old guy in such a position.

In addition, Lao Liang of Jinyiwei was stationed in the capital, remotely controlled the south and north towns of Fusi, and constantly notified Liu Hongjian of the latest news from outside the pass and from the interior.

Under the powerful monitoring system, unless someone is messed up, even if Chongzhen is not with him, these officials will definitely not dare to act rashly.

As for supplies, it's not that Liu Hongjian has never thought about his mutant ring, but the space is only about [-] square meters, and more than half of the space is occupied by boxes of bullets.

It is not enough to provide supplies for a large number of troops, and this ring can only be used by him alone.

Is it possible to let him be a porter?
He is the majestic general of the Ming Dynasty, the supervisor and the prince of the country!

Knowing that their husband was going to go to war again, Sun Xiuxiu and Yang Xue were extremely gentle every day, not to mention obedience to Liu Hongjian, and even tried some postures that Liu Hongjian would not cooperate with no matter how much they coaxed them before.

But the happy time is always short, and eight days later, May [-]th.

It was surprisingly hot early this morning, and the entire capital city was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere...

 Thank you for the book friend's nickname, why can't it be repeated, and Tangmen-Sin Angel's reward of 100 coins.
