Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 110

Fan Guang plucked up his courage and asked: "The last general has the courage to ask Your Majesty, what kind of loyalty does the last general need?"

Zhu Qiyu replied: "I know you are a rare general, so I want you to do a lot of things. In recent years, there are mainly three things I plan to ask you to do.

First, I will send you to take over as the chief soldier of Xuanfu, with [-] elite soldiers, to disarm Yang Hong's Xuanfu soldiers.Then uproot the generals of Xuan Mansion and escort them all to the south to quell the Miao chaos.

Second, I want to assign Xuanfu and Huailai to Beizhili, and carry out military reforms in Xuanfu.As the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, you must unconditionally cooperate with my reforms.

Third, I want you to restore Kaipingwei, and use Kaipingwei as the foundation to use troops against Oala.Even if the Supreme Emperor won't come back for two or three years, you have to continue to lead troops to attack and completely wipe out Yexian headquarters for me.

There is another requirement, you must only be loyal to me, and you must not be too close to civil servants.I want you to be a lonely minister, responsible only to me. "

As for other requests, Fan Guang could accept them, but he was quite skeptical about the emperor's statement about the Supreme Emperor: "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor will not be able to come back within two or three years, so what will happen in the future?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Don't think too much, I will take the Supreme Emperor back in just two or three years. But when the Supreme Emperor returns to Beijing, I will ask the Supreme Emperor to issue an imperial edict in front of the tablet of the fallen soldiers in civil engineering, and formally Zen is in me.

Then the Supreme Emperor completely abdicated and lived in the Forbidden City for honor and support.There is no way for me to do this, if we are still in the Supreme Emperor, none of our family in the Qi Palace will survive.All the civil and military officials in the court should not even think of a good end.

That's how things are, and I won't lie to you, if you want to accept it, just accept it.If you can't accept it, forget it, and I won't force it. "

Without waiting for Fan Guang to answer, Zhu Qiyu continued: "Although these requests are a bit embarrassing, I have given enough. Marquis, Duke, and hereditary successors, I will give you all. You are the leader of the younger generation, follow me, Not only will I allow you to enjoy the glory and wealth for the rest of your life, but you will also be able to make your name go down in history and last forever."

Hearing this, Fan Guang breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the emperor didn't ask him to do something to the Supreme Emperor, then the problem would be fine.So he knelt down and swore his allegiance to the emperor loudly.

Xu Heng and Wang Tong were all on the side, looking at Fan Guang in amazement, not quite understanding why Fan Guang was so simple and loyal to the emperor.

But Xu Heng didn't know that the reason why Fan Guang was so forthright, apart from the fact that the emperor had recruited him long ago, more than half of the reason was that Xu Heng took the lead in allegiance to the emperor.

Fan Guang is indeed an upright and brave general, but this does not mean that Fan Guang is reckless.

As a frontier general, Fan Guang can easily figure it out: Xu Heng has guarded the Northwest for many years. Although he only brought [-] elite frontier troops to Beijing this time, if he is given enough time, he can recruit another [-] Northwest soldiers. The frontier army entered Beijing.

The emperor received Xu Heng's allegiance, which means he has [-] to [-] elite frontier troops in his hands.The Daning Dusi, who was the first to be loyal to the emperor, could also gather an army of [-].

Coupled with other scattered troops loyal to the emperor, such as the Imperial Horse Supervisor and Four Guards, the emperor now has about 8 to [-] people.

In other words, now is the last chance to be loyal to the emperor and become a confidant.When the emperor has completely become powerful, if you want to be loyal, the emperor will not bother to talk to you.

Zhu Qiyu helped Fan Guang up, smiled at everyone, "Come on, let's go and inspect my personal guards."

Fan Guang and others gladly accepted the order. Although Yuantu City was very close to the residence of the emperor's personal guards, the guards had always been mysterious, and even Fan Guang had not been able to go in to find out.Xu Heng and Wang Tong were also very curious about how far the emperor, who had never commanded soldiers, could lead them.

So a group of people came to the private house area outside Deshengmen, and the guarding sergeant quickly notified them. After a while, the personal guard commanders Xu Tong and Gu Zhong rushed out and brought everyone into the camp.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile to Xu Heng and the others: "I didn't inform you in advance, let's make a surprise attack and see how my personal guards are usually."

Xu Heng said with a smile: "The ministers are also very curious about how elite your Majesty's personal guards are. Today we must open our eyes."

So everyone went through the houses and came to the camp in the center.There are four school grounds scattered around the campsite, and in the three smaller school grounds, each has thousands of soldiers practicing assassination and fighting skills.And the largest school field was full of chariots.

Xu Heng watched the drills of the soldiers for a while, then asked curiously: "Soldiers from other battalions generally have a mentality of fear of war. Why is His Majesty's personal guards so emotional, as if they wished to come here as soon as possible?"

Zhu Qiyu laughed loudly when he heard the words: "There is no one else, but give Qian Er desperately."

Xu Heng was even more curious: "How much money did His Majesty give, are they like this?"

Zhu Qiyu stretched out five fingers and made a gesture: "Our family is in charge of the money by the concubine, I don't have the exact amount, but since the month of taking over the personal guard, all expenses including military pay, rewards, food and clothing, have been included. Without 50 taels of silver, it will definitely not come down."

Xu Heng, Fan Guang, and Wang Tong were all dumbstruck when they heard this. The emperor only had 50 personal guards, and on average, he spent [-] taels of silver on each of them.

This is not surprising, under the great reward, there must be a brave man, this is an eternal truth.

Zhu Qiyu continued to explain: "Once the war starts, more money will be spent in the future. I have stipulated that if a Tartar's head is beheaded, the reward will be 20 taels. If the personal guard becomes disabled due to killing the enemy, then the reward for each head he beheads will be upgraded to 50 taels." [-] taels.

If the personal guard is killed by killing the enemy, the reward will be upgraded to 100 taels for each head he cuts off.

In short, the more decapitations, the greater the reward.Therefore, those who are injured or killed in battle will be rewarded more seriously. "

Hearing this, everyone was so shocked that they couldn't keep their mouths shut. After a long while, Fan Guang made a calculation on behalf of the emperor, "Your Majesty, if your personal guard beheaded ten thousand levels, at least two or three hundred thousand taels of silver will be rewarded."

Zhu Qiyu spread his hands together: "It doesn't matter, just let them chop and blink, even if I am sorry to my personal guards."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Qiyu shouted loudly to the guards who were kneeling and saluting him in the school grounds: "Everyone, feel free to cut off the heads of the Tartars.

Each of you, if you can behead five levels, I will reward you with an additional 100 taels; if you can behead ten levels, you will be rewarded with an additional 200 taels; "

When the guards heard this, they all let out deafening cheers.

Zhu Qiyu pulled Fan Guang and others who were in a daze: "Come on, I will take you to see the newly received chariot and bed crossbow."
