Red House Shoufu

Chapter 430 Disagree?Send troops to fight!

From the time when Lin Shu was in charge of the Lin family, no matter whether he was keeping his filial piety in the south of the Yangtze River or after he came to the capital, he encountered several assassinations by open swords and dark arrows.

With the medical conditions in these years, Lin Shu, who cherishes his life, would not prepare some means to save his life.

Ever since the firearms workshop made a new type of gunpowder, he had been thinking about musketeers and pistols. He never expected that the few priests in the palace would actually make them, and they were directly made flintlock guns.

Otherwise, the consumption of muskets is really astonishing. With the current production capacity, the consumption cannot keep up. The emperor will definitely equip an army of firearms with two guards and sweep the desert!

Rashid struggled to breathe, like a fish thrown ashore. Ai Hemai, who was on the side, was stunned for a while, and quickly called the guards to protect him and Rashid.

Lin Shu unhurriedly loaded the gunpowder and ammunition, then put on the cap, aimed at the people of the Yarkand mission, and said slowly: "Aren't you going to compete with me? Come on, let's continue!"

Ai Hemai, who was hiding in the middle of the guards, was going crazy, La Shide, an idiot, what would you do to provoke this evil star?He screamed: "Your Majesty Yongfeng, we are the envoys of the Yarkand Khanate..."

"So what?"

Lin Shu pulled the trigger, and one of Yarkand's guards fell down.This time the bullet shifted slightly, and Lin Shu, who was aiming at the chest, hit the guard's thigh.

The wailing sounded loudly, Lin Shu reloaded the ammunition again, and slowly walked towards Wang Yuan, none of the people in Yarkand dared to make other moves, they huddled together tightly, and they didn't even dare to look at Lin Shu, the god of death.

"Ma'am, are you all right? It's all my fault. If I knew it earlier, I would have been with you all the time."

Lin Shu's gentle voice soothed the fear in Wang Yuan's heart, the smell of blood in the room seemed to have turned sour, Fuquan silently took a step back, and held Taozi's hand.

Taozi, whose body was trembling slightly, subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but this time, Ke Fuquan forcefully pulled her towards him, and whispered, "I'm here, don't be afraid!"

Bang bang bang!
There was a loud noise downstairs, and in a moment a group of guards patrolling the city surged up from the second floor.As soon as the leading captain went upstairs, he smelled the smell of blood and gunpowder that hadn't dissipated. He frowned and looked carefully, only to find the Lin Shu couple who were fighting you and me.

So familiar!
"The last general, Niu Zhonghuai, pays homage to Marquis Yongfeng!"

Following Niu Zhonghuai's obeisance, the guards behind him saluted one after another: "Greetings, Lord Hou!"

Lin Shu hugged his wife like this, and said slowly: "Get up!"

"Thank you, Lord!"

Niu Zhonghuai stood up with the crowd, stood in a row with his head held high, as if he was waiting for Lin Shu's inspection.Lin Shu whispered a few words in Wang Yuan's ear, and led her up to the imperial army.

"There are aliens doing illegal things in my big Chu capital, what should I do?"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Three deafening shouts in a row made the passers-by outside the building stop suspiciously, and gathered around the Western Treasure Hall, pointing curiously.

The Yarkand missions in the building were all trembling with fright, and they could hardly hold the scimitar in their hands steadily.

Lin Shu was very satisfied with the response of this group of imperial guards. The soldiers of the heavenly kingdom should not be affected by the so-called helpless compromise in politics. They should have the courage to move forward and the fearlessness to fight against the enemy.

He patted the shoulders of these ten soldiers one by one, and said with a smile: "It is because of your protection that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. You are all good sons of my Han family, and the most solid backing of Da Chu!"

"Thank you Marquis for your compliment!"

Wen Quxing personally praised us as good sons of the Han family, who would dare to say that we are stinky soldiers in the future!

"Niu Zhonghuai..."

Hearing Lin Shu calling him, Niu Zhonghuai straightened up with a snap, stepped forward and responded, "The last general is here!"

Lin Shu pointed at the Yarkand Mission huddled in a circle, and ordered in a cold voice: "The official envoy of the Yarkand Mission, Prince Rashid, disrespected Mrs. Benhou, and all the missionaries turned their swords on me, the Chuanguo Marquis! , intending to harm the Marquis, I will be sent to the prison in Shuntian Mansion, waiting for the court to punish me!"

Niu Zhonghuai didn't even hesitate, he drew his sword and led others to rush over.

Prince of Yarkand?That is, the King Khan of the Yeerqiang Khanate had to hide his teeth in the capital of Dachu. The last King Khan who bared his teeth in the capital had already been built on the top floor of the grassland Beijing by the Supreme Emperor and his old man.

Although Da Chu has indeed had some internal and external troubles in the past few years, the arrogance in his bones has penetrated into the hearts of every Da Chu soldier and civilian.

Several members of the Yeerqiang mission had long been frightened by Lin Shu and the murderous imperial guards. They seemed to have returned to 20 years ago, and remembered the stories told by the older generation in their hearts.

The fear of being dominated by Da Chu surged into his heart again, and each of them was tied up by the imperial guards in dejection. Only La Shide, who was holding his chest with only half his life left, was picked up by two imperial guards and dragged downstairs.

Niu Zhonghuai took a disdainful look at Ai Hemai, who was still muttering that he was an envoy, and bowed to bid farewell to Lin Shu: "Your Majesty, I will bid you farewell!"

Lin Shu bowed his head in return: "Trouble Captain Niu, this matter will be written to His Majesty, and Da Chu will not allow foreigners to be presumptuous."

Niu Zhonghuai grinned, and slowly backed away after saluting.

The onlookers outside the building were muttering and discussing, when they suddenly saw a group of strong men dressed in foreign races tied up by the forbidden army with ropes and pulled out from their mouths in the treasure hall.Another person was bleeding from the chest and was dragged out.

A forbidden soldier dressed as a school lieutenant went out last, glanced around, especially when he saw many merchants of foreign races in the crowd, he was so angry that he shouted loudly: "Prince Yaerqiang Rashid disrespected Mrs. Yongfenghou, which caused the envoy The guards of the regiment want to harm Yongfeng Hou Linhou, and they are now detained by the Imperial Army, and they should be dealt with by the national law. People from other countries come to our Great Chu, they should obey the law, and dare to violate the laws of the Great Chu, they should be punished!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Following Niu Zhonghuai's voice, not only the ten imperial guards under his command patted their breastplates and shouted to kill, but also the other guards patrolling the city who heard the news also shouted.

The sudden murderous atmosphere in the East City broke through the sky, causing the people of Dachu to applaud excitedly. On the contrary, those merchants from foreign countries were both envious and fearful.

Only Ma Fanteng raised his fists high and cheered loudly with the onlookers, causing everyone around him to look at him in amazement.

Ma Fanteng seemed to be very dissatisfied with other people's surprised eyes. He took off his official waist badge from his waist, held it up high, and shouted in a correct voice: "I am also from Dachu, and His Majesty the Emperor personally gave me the title of honor." The head of the Ministry of Rites also gave me the household registration in the capital, I am an upright Dachu person, long live Your Majesty! Dachu Wannian!"

This authentic official language, and the official certificate in Ma Fanteng's hands, made the people around them shout after a brief daze: "Long live Your Majesty! Long live the Great Chu!"

……

In the end, Wang Yuan was frightened, and she huddled in Lin Shu's arms on the way back.

Lin Shu drove Fuquan and Taozi into another rented carriage, hugged the little daughter-in-law and talked softly.

The wheels turned slowly, and with the smell of fireworks outside the car, Wang Yuan's heart gradually calmed down.

She thought of Rashid's identity, and couldn't help asking worriedly: "Husband, will you be in trouble if you wound that Rashid?"

Lin Shu put his hand on Wang Yuan's stomach, feeling the softness of his young wife, and replied with a smile: "What trouble can there be? It seems that Hexi has just experienced a big war and needs to recuperate. But His Majesty has already been from Liaodong and Henan dispatched tens of thousands of troops to Lanzhou. It was originally aimed at those vassals who had two hearts in the Western Regions, but Yaerqiang dared to take action, and the imperial court just took this opportunity to completely incorporate the Western Regions into our territory."

Great Chu has a territory of thousands of miles and hundreds of millions of people. Now that there is enough food and grass, it is thinking of using foreign wars to divert domestic conflicts.

For this reason, the cabinet and the governor's office of the five armies are planning to find a small enemy country to do a wave of dungeons every day. Oala is not suitable, and the southern border is not worthwhile. Yaerqiang is simply the meat sent up.

Please wait for a while until next year's summer harvest is completed, and Da Chu's iron cavalry can be dispatched!

Lin Shu couldn't help but lamented the wisdom of those people in the five-army governor's mansion and the cabinet. This group of people really played politics thoroughly. As soon as Hexi was pacified, the envoys from the Ministry of Rites went to the Western Regions, not only did they not reprimand those who were ready to move The ambitious man, instead, gave the imperial court a comforting gift, making these people think that Hexi was weak.

Now that Yarkand was hooked, Lin Shu didn't mind adding another fire, and made the old Khan of the Yarkand Khanate knock on his side in a fit of anger, and the soldiers in Hexi would have been screaming!
After comforting Wang Yuan, Lin Shu returned to his study and began to write the memorial.

Now that the war is imminent, it is time to expand the size of the Firearms Battalion.The court is short of money?Opening the sea is the biggest source of income, and the ministers in the court probably don't want the court to be so poor that they can't afford their salaries!

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, the last court meeting before the year.

Lin Shu came to the gate of the imperial city early in the morning, and as soon as he got off the bus, many civil and military officials surrounded him.

"It's good that Marquis Lin is in good health. Originally, the lower official said that he would visit the manor after today's court meeting..."

"Jinyu, are you okay? I heard that you almost died at the hands of the Yarkand people..."

"This Yarkand man is so brave, he dared to attack Lin Hou in our big Chu capital!"

"Marquis Lin, can you let me have a look at your firecracker? I heard it has the power of Thunder God..."

……

If it wasn't for the arrival of the chief assistant Wei Qinghe's car, Lin Shu would have been almost overwhelmed by the courtiers.

Wei Qinghe fished Lin Shu out from the crowd, Lin Shu helped the old man to a place of shelter, and bowed to thank him: "If Mr. Ge doesn't come again, the subordinate's clothes will almost be pulled off!"

Wei Qinghe put his hands in his hands and said cheerfully: "The Marquis of Yongfeng showed his supernatural power, aroused the thunder in the sky, and chopped the alien thief half to death. I heard about it even if I stayed at home. How about it, is the thunder god in the sky a relative of yours?"

"Elder Ge was joking, there is no such thing as thunder, it's just the power of firearms. If Elder Ge is interested, I will send it to the cabinet after the court. You can play with it."

Just as Lin Shu was looking for allies, Mr. Shoufu became interested in handguns, which was really a blessing from heaven.

The consumption of firearms was huge, even with the support of the emperor, Lin Shu alone could not promote the expansion of the firearms battalion.

With the support of Wei Qinghe, it will be different. The old Pixiu from the household department is his student, and the senior officials in the Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Rites, and Ministry of War have received his favor.

The old man is in the government and the opposition, and I don't know how many people are his students and juniors. The world is full of peaches and plums, which is the greatest confidence for Wei Qinghe to be able to sit firmly as the chief assistant of the central government.

"Interesting, interesting..."

Wei Qinghe whispered to Lin Shu: "There is news from Shuntian Mansion that your guns scared those Yarkand people to death, and they have nightmares at night saying that it was the God of Thunder who got angry, and their prince was punished by heaven. "

Lin Shu also didn't expect that the hand gun could have such a function, so he said puzzledly: "It doesn't make sense, Yaerqiang also has artillery, and the musket hand gun can be said to be a smaller version of the artillery. It doesn't make sense that they haven't seen the artillery before. Scared by the little pistol?"

"Look it up, since they said it was Thor who was angry, we might as well take advantage of it."

dang dang...

The Jingyang bell rang, and the palace gate slowly opened.

Wei Qinghe stopped talking and greeted Lin Shu into the palace.After exchanging a few words in a low voice, the two entered the queue in front of Fengtian Hall and waited quietly for the court.

At the last big court at the end of the year, everyone tacitly did not mention any important matters. Instead, they happily imagined the grand scene of the next year's celestial dynasty.

Until the Ministry of Rites had to go out to report the affairs of the Yeerqiang Khanate mission, although the emperor had already learned the news from Xiuyiwei, he still pretended to be shocked, and then asked Lin Shu to come out, and after a few words of comfort , directly ordered Shuntian Mansion to punish him according to the law.

Several envoys even came forward to remonstrate with the emperor, saying that Lin Shu had ruined the image of benevolence towards the vassal state, and was directly stunned by the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

"The celestial dynasty, inherits the destiny from above, and caresses the people from below. Mercy is for a vassal state that abides by the law and is loyal to the celestial dynasty, not for thieves like Rashid!"

"What? Caused border conflicts between the two countries? Okay, let him fight!"

"Since you, Gaochang, want to stand up for Yarkand, why don't you trust King Gaochang now and ask him to cooperate with Yarkand to try the sharpness of the big Chu iron cavalry!"

……

Ah!
It’s interesting to say that these envoys are also very interesting. The kings of the Great Chu Dynasty have treated these vassals very generously, and adopted a gentle policy, which made these people a little ignorant.

They have dealt with Confucian officials in wide robes and sleeves for a long time every day, and gradually forgot the cold light of iron armor that swept the desert, flattened the Western Regions, and traversed the southern border.

The group of generals in the generals queue glared at each other. The murderous generals didn't have any party or faction at this time, and they were all the iron-blooded generals of Great Chu.

The murderous eyes and stern words frightened the envoys of the vassal states who called out for the Yaerqiang mission to kneel on the ground and kowtow to the emperor on the dragon chair, not daring to say another word.

The emperor waved his hand to stop the chaos in the hall, and said calmly: "Okay, the Yaerqiang mission has no king's law, disrespects education, the Ministry of Rites, drafts a decree and reprimands, Shuntian Prefecture will deal with it according to the law! Retire!"

……

In the Hall of Qinzheng, Lin Shu presented the memorandum he had written, and the emperor read it carefully, and asked, "Lin Qing, the little money from the household department may not be enough to equip two or three guards with firearms." ?”

Lin Shu bowed and replied: "It's really hard to do, that's why I advised to open the sea for business. The wealth at sea is enough for our dynasty to develop firearms and equip our new army. The wealth at sea is enough for our dynasty to build an invincible army. The mighty teacher!"
