Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 31 Xiong Tingbi!
frog, toad, toad
Zhang Haogu came up with whatever he thought of.

Zhu Youxiao was also speechless, he couldn't help but said: "Let the toad spit out money? How do you do this?"

"It's actually simple!"

Zhang Haogu said: "It's enough to add one or two institutions!"

"Specifically, this is it!"

Zhang Haogu looked around: "Your Majesty, do you have a pen and paper?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Wang Tiqian!"

A eunuch had already brought a pen and paper.

Zhang Haogu said: "What I want is a charcoal pencil!"

charcoal!

Wang Tiqian was stunned, but he honestly brought the charcoal pencil.

Zhang Haogu shook his head: "Forget it, let's use my pencil!"

"kindness?"

Zhu Youxiao was stunned, and saw that Zhang Haogu got a pencil from somewhere.

It is not difficult to make a pencil, and it is definitely not the kind of later generations, but it is still no problem to do it reluctantly.

Of course, without the ability to industrialize,
Pencils are also not mass-produced on a large scale.

Zhang Haogu got it out, but it was just smooth.

High-quality rice paper was originally used for writing or painting.

At this moment, it was marked by Zhang Haogu in detail.

Every detail is in place, gears, drive shafts, and just the size that needs to be calculated.

The finest rosewood, brushed with a layer of gold powder.

Engraving was naturally handled by Zhu Youxiao, while Zhang Haogu needed to design the transmission shaft so that the toad could spit out a gold coin between jumping and jumping.

Zhu Youxiao has always been very interested in doing things by himself.

The two tossed about for seven or eight days.

This brand new toad is two or three times larger than the previous clockwork frog. However, the design inside is also more complicated. A total of six springs and drive shafts are installed to ensure this When the toad is jumping, it can open its mouth and spit out the gold coin.

There are not many problems with the design idea.

Two people are busy.

Wei Zhongxian came over.

"Your Majesty, Master Zhang!"

Right now, Zhu Youjiao is busy with the things at hand.

Seeing Wei Zhongxian coming, Zhu Youxiao was a little absent-minded: "Big companion? What's the matter?"

Wei Zhongxian said quickly: "As for the Ministry of Punishment, the execution of Xiong Tingbi has already come down!"

Xiong Tingbi?
Zhang Haogu on the side was slightly taken aback.

I do know this guy.

At the beginning of this year, Guangning suffered a disastrous defeat, and Xiong Tingbi lost Guangning City.

The reason for the fiasco was the discord between Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen.

Wang Huazhen has never studied military affairs, despises the enemy, and likes to talk big.The civil and military generals did not listen to the advice at all, and they were especially in conflict with Xiong Tingbi.He delusionally imagined that Li Yongfang of the Jin Dynasty would be his internal response after the surrender, and he believed the Mongols' words that Huduntu would send 40 reinforcements, so he wanted to win a complete victory without a fight.

However, Xiong Tingbi believed that the Liao people cannot be trusted, the Mongols cannot be relied on, Li Yongfang cannot be trusted, and there are many spies in Guangning that make people worry.Wang Huazhen did the opposite and never mentioned defense, saying that once we crossed the river, the people from Hedong would be our internal response.And Feishu reported to the court that in August you can sleep soundly and receive my good news.

Later, Guangning was defeated, Wang Huazhen lost Guangning City, and fled for his life in panic.When I met Xiong Tingbi at Daling River, Xiong Tingbi gloated and said, "Sixty thousand troops can wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop. What will happen in the end?"

Wang Huazhen suggested stationing Ningyuan and Qiantun.

Xiong Tingbi said: "It's too late. Now we have to protect the common people and go to the customs!"

So he handed over the 5000 people he led to Wang Huazhen to come to the back of the palace, and set fire to all his savings.On the 26th of the first lunar month, Xiong Tingbi and Han Chuming escorted the refugees into the customs. Wang Huazhen, Gao Chao, and Hu Jiadong also entered the customs successively. Only Gao Bangzuo committed suicide and died.

The imperial court arrested Wang Huazhen, dismissed Xiong Tingbi's official, and let him wait for investigation.In April, Wang Ji, Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry, Zou Yuanbiao, Zuodu Yushi, and Zhou Yingqiu, Minister of Dali Temple, reported their verdicts, and both Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen were sentenced to death.

Xiong Tingbi's defensive strategy was basically fine. Wang Huazhen was talking on paper, but Xiong Tingbi must have gloated about his misfortune.

This also forced Zhu Youxiao to send Sun Chengzong to Ningyuan.

However, Sun Chengzong's strategy is basically Xiong Tingbi's strategy, defend first and then fight.

Xiong Tingbi is capable, but he has a bad temper!
Wei Zhongxian came over and talked about this matter.

Of course, there's still a bit of a hiccup here.

Later, when the execution was about to be executed, Xiong Tingbi asked Wang Wenyan to bribe the inner court with 4 taels of gold to ask for a reprieve, but later he violated the promise of [-] taels of gold, which really annoyed Wei Zhongxian.

Is this fooling our family like fools?

"Beheaded?"

Zhu Youxiao looked at the memorabilia in his hand, and then said fiercely: "Wang Huazhen is hateful, and Xiong Tingbi is also hateful. If there is no reconciliation, I have issued an order again and again. This Wang Huazhen lost Guangning City. If you want to get it back in the future , I don’t know how many soldiers and horses I will lose, so I will deal with it according to the Ministry of Punishment and behead it for public display!”

How much trust he had in Xiong Tingbi at the beginning, now, how disappointed Zhu Youxiao is in Xiong Tingbi.

Wei Zhongxian naturally applauded.

This bastard Xiong Tingbi dares to play tricks on our family, and this Wang Huazhen is also a bastard.

If you want to attack the Donglin Party, you must first attack Wang Huazhen.

Zhang Haogu on the side stretched his head to look at the memorial, and made a curious expression
Zhu Youxiao gave the memorial to Zhang Haogu, and said casually, "What do you think, Master?"

This master stunned Wei Zhongxian.

When did Zhang Haogu become Zhu Youxiao's master?

Zhang Haogu glanced at the memorial, but said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I think it's quite interesting. There are quite a few people in this imperial court running around calling for Wang Huazhen, and among them, the Donglin Party is the most enthusiastic!"

"Donglin Party!" Zhu Youxiao's eyes were filled with displeasure.

He really doesn't have any affection for these bastards now.

"And one of the presiding judges in this case happens to be Zou Yuanbiao, the boss of Donglin, and Wang Huazhen is a student of Ye Xianggao. The Donglin Party wants to keep Wang Huazhen!!"

Zhu Youxiao frowned: "Master, you mean that the Donglin Party is protecting Wang Huazhen?"

"Hard to say!"

Zhang Haogu smiled and continued: "Let's talk about the battle of Guangning, based on what I saw, it is very difficult to turn the tables. Let alone Xiong Tingbi, even if Zhuge is reborn, Yue Wu will be defeated like a mountain!"

"How do you know?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Guangning has 13 soldiers and millions of dans of food and grass, all of which are under the management of Wang Huazhen. Xiong Tingbi has only 400 Liao troops stationed in Youtun, only 5000 miles away from Guangning. The people retreated all at once, and Xiong Tingbi only had [-] troops, and it would be considered remarkable if he didn’t retreat together, can you still expect him to stand still and hold on to the wall? This is impossible!”

Zhu Youxiao was also caught in the middle of thinking, carefully chewing on the reason behind this, he glanced at Zhang Haogu: "You mean, this matter has nothing to do with Xiong Tingbi?"

"related!"

Zhang Haogu spread his hands together and said: "I thought that I was doomed to lose from the very beginning. The court is far away from Liaodong, and I don't know the specific situation of Liaodong. The army is defeated like a mountain!"

"If we talk about the crime of defeat, [-]% lies in the cabinet. The Donglin Party chose a fool out of self-interest, [-]% lies in Wang Huazhen, who didn't know how to advance or retreat, and [-]% is Xiong Tingbi.
