Daming: Spoilers about the future, Zhu Yuanzhang collapsed
Chapter 331 Zhu Yuanzhang: Is Li Zicheng extorting payment? Why don't we pay for it!
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed ferociously: "If we say yes, we will!"
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Chongzhen couldn't help but froze, full of surprise.
Emperor Taizu Gao, why did he say such a thing?
What does it mean that it is what he says it is?
Could it be...that Emperor Taizu Gao came here this time and brought some money with him?
With this thought in mind, he looked towards Emperor Taizu Gao and those who came with Emperor Taizu Gao.
In addition to wearing armor and weapons, these people did not carry any packages.
Where did Emperor Taizu Gao get his money?
Could it be that... Emperor Taizu Gao could conjure money out of thin air?
Isn't this... too incredible?
Also, even if Emperor Taizu and Emperor Gao could bring some money with them, how much would they have?
Everywhere costs money these days.
If you want to defend the capital, less money is simply not enough, and the enthusiasm of those soldiers cannot be mobilized...
What Chongzhen was thinking was hard to understand.
Han Cheng, Zhu Di, Zhu Biao and others saw Chongzhen's confused and shocked expression.
They all shook their heads secretly.
This Chongzhen is really too pure, or in other words, too stubborn.
At this time, can a living person still be choked to death by urinating?
Next, these officials of the Ming Dynasty were blessed.
You can experience the care and love from Taizu Emperor Gao right away.
Let them feel the fear of being dominated by the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
It is not for nothing that Lao Zhu kills officials like mowing grass.
After taking a few steps out of the Ancestral Temple, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped again.
Looking at Chongzhen, he said: "How many troops can you use now?"
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Chongzhen thought for a while and then said: "Probably... there are probably more than 10,000 people."
"How many exactly?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was somewhat dissatisfied with Chongzhen's answer.
He emphasized his tone and continued to ask.
"That... there are thousands of people..."
After hearing Chongzhen's answer, Zhu Biao. Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, Lan Yu, and Guo Ying all looked strange.
How does this... sound like a joke?
Even before that, they had learned from Han Cheng that the current capital of the Ming Dynasty did not have many soldiers.
But at this time, after confirming the news from Chongzhen, he was still stunned.
This is the majestic capital of a country!
Moreover, the current location of the capital is still on the side of Peiping, too far north.
It is simply the emperor guarding the country.
With the Tatars outside and the rebels sweeping the world inside, the capital of the Ming Dynasty actually only had a few thousand soldiers and horses? ?
If these thousands of soldiers and horses can recruit people who are good at fighting, that's all.
But judging from the news he got from Han Cheng, most of the few thousand soldiers and horses left were old, weak, sick and disabled.
There is no decent fighting ability at all.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes and heard it with their own ears, they really wouldn't believe it.
This is what a capital city should look like.
This is almost like a joke!
"Who is in charge of the military at this time? Who is the person you trust most?"
Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed the discomfort in his heart and looked at Chongzhen to ask.
"Wang Chengen, Wang Banban!"
When answering this question, Chongzhen did not hesitate.
"I...I asked Wang Banban to take charge of the defense of the capital, and also to supervise the nine gates.
At this time, the various defenses of the capital, as well as the numerous troops and horses, were all under his control. "
After hearing Chongzhen's words, Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer suppress his anger.
The rest of the people in the Hongwu Dynasty also had strange expressions.
In the Hongwu Dynasty, this eunuch who would never be on the stage had such a different identity by the end of the Ming Dynasty?
Not only was he deeply trusted by the emperor, but more importantly, a eunuch could actually be in charge of an army.
Responsible for the defense of the entire capital!
It is equivalent to saying that now all the soldiers and horses in the capital must obey this eunuch.
This is simply not too outrageous!
In the eyes of these people from the Hongwu Dynasty, this was unimaginable.
A heresy within a heresy.
In this world, all the leaders are dead?
How could the eunuch be so impressive?
"If I remember correctly, this Wang Chengen is the eunuch Bingbi, right?
It belongs to the ceremonial department and is the eunuch Wen.
In the past, there was no contact with conquests.
At this time, why do you suddenly want to push Wang Chengen out and let him take charge of the military affairs of the capital? "
Han Cheng interrupted at this time.
Although Han Cheng knew a lot about the history of the Ming Dynasty.
But after all, I didn’t come from a background that specialized in history, so I can’t remember many things in detail.
For example, Wang Chengen, he only knew that this person was Zhu Youjian's eunuch Bingbi, and he was also Wang Banban in Chongzhen's mouth.
At the same time, this eunuch is also extremely honest.
Nor is there any lack of loyalty.
In the end, the Ming Dynasty city was destroyed and the country was destroyed. It was he who accompanied Chongzhen on a walk on the crooked neck tree in Meishan.
But at this time, Han Cheng did not understand that Chongzhen asked him to command the capital's troops and prepare for the capital's defense.
After hearing what Chongzhen said at this time, he looked curious and asked.
"That...that..."
Hearing Han Cheng ask this, Chongzhen seemed a little hesitant.
Then he continued: "The main reason is that Wang Banban is deeply trusted by me and has good ability in doing things.
The matter of leading the capital's defense is too important, and I don't trust anyone else to do it. "
Han Cheng frowned and said, "I remember that the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were also divided into civil and military officials.
In addition to the eunuch Wen who was the ceremonial supervisor, there was also the eunuch Wu who was the imperial eunuch.
At this time, most of the Wu eunuchs who could climb up had experienced some battles and been on the battlefield.
Ordinarily, if you don't trust other officials and generals, you should leave the defense arrangements to those who understand these things.
If that doesn't work, you can just find a few trustworthy eunuchs with experience on the battlefield from the imperial eunuchs.
Why did you choose Wang Chengen, such a literary eunuch?
Wang Chengen has been on the battlefield and fought in a war?
Does he really know how to dispatch troops and horses? "
After Han Cheng's doubts were expressed, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Lan Yu and others also turned their attention to Chongzhen.
The look in Chongzhen's eyes was so complicated.
As much as you hate that iron cannot become steel, you must hate that iron cannot become steel.
This guy is really messing around!
What on earth was he thinking?
How could such an important matter be such a child's play!
Instead of using some military eunuchs who know military matters, we should use wen eunuchs.
Even if you trust Wang Chengen, you still have to be consistent with reality, right?
Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian looked stern.
Especially Emperor Taizu Gao, and the princes of the Ming Dynasty who came with Emperor Taizu Gao.
Especially one of them, under the gaze of Emperor Chengzu, sweat started to form on Chongzhen's forehead.
"That...that..."
Chongzhen said in a huff, "I mainly want Wang Banban to be reliable.
I have also experienced a lot of things around me.
On the issue of the defense of the capital, we will definitely do our best without compromising..."
Hearing what Chongzhen said, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but want to slap him.
Things have gotten so bad, it's urgent.
It doesn't matter how big the capital's defense is.
How dare you act like this?
Loyalty does need to be considered, but is it enough to only consider loyalty?
You also need to consider ability!
It’s just nonsense!
"Send Wang Chengen to call us immediately.
Let Wang Chengen lead 500 reliable troops. "
He took a deep breath and resisted the urge to slap Chongzhen.
Zhu Yuanzhang said to Chongzhen.
While talking, he led the people back to the Ancestral Temple.
At the critical moment, it is better to grasp the military power first.
It's better to hold the knife in your hand before doing other things.
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to come forward directly and went to see the soldiers.
But after listening to Chongzhen's words at this time, I learned some more detailed information at this time.
He felt that it was better not to do that.
It would be better to let Wang Chengen and others come over to see him.
Chongzhen responded quickly and walked out of the Ancestral Temple to call someone.
Let people go to see his Wang Banban quickly...
"Are there any more Jin Yiwei?"
After Chongzhen sent the order, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chongzhen again and asked.
Chongzhen nodded vigorously and said: "Yes."
"Is it still reliable?"
Chongzhen said: "Probably...probably still reliable."
Hearing Chongzhen say this, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to whip him again.
Jinyiwei!
This is a knife in the emperor's hand!
In the Hongwu Dynasty, how easy it was to use Jinyiwei!
As a result, now, when such a handy knife comes to Chongzhen, it will be destroyed by Chongzhen!
What does it mean to be probably reliable?
From what Chongzhen said, one could tell that this Jin Yiwei was probably unreliable.
"Immediately pass the order and summon all the Jin Yiwei.
Bring us all the money you have. "
After hearing what Emperor Taizu Gao said, Chongzhen didn't quite know what Emperor Taizu Gao wanted to do.
But at this time, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
He just hurriedly walked out of the Ancestral Temple and called people to come over and gave orders according to Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions.
Someone got his instructions and ran away.
Although Li Zicheng has captured Juyong Pass, Li Zicheng's troops have not yet reached the outside of Peiping City and begun the siege.
At this time in the city, although people are panicking.
But Chongzhen still had the power to be the emperor.
If you say it, many people will listen.
Of course, the premise is that too much money and other fatal issues are not involved.
When it comes to these things, Chongzhen's words are not that effective.
At this time, Chongzhen was completely at peace.
This will scold Emperor Taizu Gao so much that he will do whatever he is asked to do.
He was too lazy to think too much.
Although he was a majestic Ming emperor, at this time he became an errand boy and a sounding board.
It feels a little embarrassing to say it out loud.
But thinking that this is his great-grandfather, this feeling of frustration disappears.
More importantly, looking at the majestic look on the Taizu Grandfather's face and his magnanimity in both movement and sitting.
Listening to his orders one after another, Chongzhen felt extremely at ease.
I feel very at ease.
And experienced an unprecedented ease.
This feeling was something he had never felt since his brother passed away and he, a man who had never thought of becoming an emperor, became the emperor without any preparation.
Since becoming emperor, Chongzhen has been walking on thin ice.
Every day is filled with all kinds of negative emotions.
There is a lot of confusion in my heart.
At this time, there is such a person who can take matters into his own hands and give orders from behind.
It made him feel relieved all of a sudden.
……
"Your Majesty wants me to go to the Ancestral Temple to meet him? Do you want me to bring five hundred elite soldiers?"
Wang Chengen looked at the eunuch in front of him and confirmed aloud.
Chongzhen's order was too sudden.
To his surprise.
At this time, he was racking his brains here and trying his best to arrange defenses.
This is an extremely important thing.
Why did the emperor suddenly summon him away again?
At the same time, he also wants to bring five hundred elite soldiers?
There are only a few thousand soldiers in Beiping City in total.
If we select them one by one, there may not necessarily be only five hundred who can be called elite.
At this time, the emperor asked himself to take away five hundred people.
Then... do we still need this defense?
"That's what the Emperor said."
The eunuch nodded quickly to confirm.
And took out the token that Chongzhen gave him,
Hold this token in your hand and look at it carefully to confirm that it is genuine.
Wang Chengen immediately ordered people to gather the soldiers.
Five hundred elite people were quickly selected from them. Although he was very puzzled by Chongzhen's order, Wang Chengen would still carry out the orders from the emperor very faithfully.
This is his greatest strength.
It is also a disadvantage.
That is to do things, which are a bit too rigid...
Wang Chengen worked hard for a long time before finally assigning defense tasks to these soldiers.
At this time, an order was given to summon the people.
These arrangements, which were made with great difficulty, suddenly became just a fake thing...
From these people, I tried my best to find 500 people who could be seen.
Wang Chengen ordered that the remaining people should return to the posts he had assigned them before.
He only took the five hundred people he selected and quickly headed towards the Ancestral Temple.
At this time, Wang Chengen was already very nervous.
Because the eunuch who came to convey Chongzhen's order to him also said something to him.
It was said that it was the Ancestral Temple, and there seemed to be a lot of people with unknown origins appearing all of a sudden.
The emperor is staying with them.
When Wang Chengen learned the news, he slapped the eunuch.
Scolding him for not telling him the news earlier.
After beating the eunuch, he led the people and headed towards the old side of the Ancestral Temple anxiously.
I was afraid that someone would hurt the emperor.
He hurt his most respected Majesty Chongzhen!
At the same time, he was also thinking that the emperor asked him to bring five hundred elite soldiers there.
Do you want to lead your own troops to rescue them?
Just...just think about what the eunuch said.
The emperor seems to be quite free.
There are no restrictions on anyone.
And the emperor didn't say anything extra to him.
This made Wang Chengen confused.
We can only quickly go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple and see the Emperor first...
……
"This slave has met the emperor."
Wang Chengen came to the Ancestral Temple, and after seeing Chongzhen, he quickly saluted.
“Get up and salute these people quickly.
This is Emperor Taizu Gao, and this is His Highness Prince Yiwen.
This is His Highness the King of Qin, and this is His Highness the King of Jin.
This is Grandpa Cheng..."
Chongzhen quickly waved his hand to Wang Chengen and asked Wang Chengen to get up.
Then introduce these extra people in the Ancestral Temple to Wang Chengen.
In fact, when Wang Chengen first came in, he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the man in the dragon robe.
Who is this person, dares to be so rebellious!
Wearing a dragon robe in front of His Majesty?
However, the emperor did not say anything more, and none of his servants dared to ask more questions.
At this time, hearing Chongzhen's introduction, Wang Chengen, an honest eunuch, suddenly had his head buzzing.
Everyone was confused.
It was like being struck by lightning for a moment.
what's the situation?
What's going on? !
It's actually Emperor Taizu Gao?
This... I'm afraid it's not a dream, right?
Although this is the Ancestral Temple, but... the Taizu Emperor Gao has been hanging on the wall for more than two hundred years.
Why did the emperor say that this was Taizu Emperor Gao at this time?
Your Majesty... Isn't he stupid?
After listening to the subsequent introductions, Wang Chengen became even more confused.
Prince Yiwen?
There are also King Qin, King Jin, and Grandpa Cheng, as well as Lan Yu, Guo Ying... Aren't these all the princes and famous generals from the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty? ?
Why are they all coming out at this time? !
This...could it be that the emperor was frightened by the situation in front of him.
There was no other way, so we found some people to play the role of Emperor Taizu Gao and others, so as to achieve some miraculous effects, right? ?
Just as he was thinking this, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang looking at him and frowning slightly.
Suddenly, an invisible momentum that was hard to describe, but full of shock and awe came over his face.
Wang Chengen's heart couldn't help but tremble.
He immediately woke up from his daze and confusion, and his legs bent involuntarily.
"This slave has met Emperor Taizu Gao and His Highness Prince Yiwen..."
Here he kowtows and salutes.
But my heart was full of surprise and uncertainty.
Where did the emperor find this person?
Why is it so powerful?
Just one look can make people so scared!
Not only the Emperor Taizu Gao in the dragon robe, but also the other princes and generals of the Hongwu Dynasty such as King Qin, King Jin, Cheng Zuye, and Lan Yu, all have frightening expressions. momentum.
Could it be...could this really be...the manifestation of Emperor Taizu Gao?
"Wang Banban, Emperor Taizu Gao and others learned that our Ming Dynasty was suffering from disasters and bandits were rampant, so they showed up.
I want to save my Ming Dynasty. "
Chongzhen explained to Wang Chengen on the side.
Wang Chengen was still in disbelief.
But what the emperor said is what he said. He said it was Emperor Taizu Gao who appeared, so that means Emperor Taizu Gao appeared.
"Okay, get up."
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Wang Chengen and said aloud.
It wasn't too difficult for him.
Although this Wang Chengen was an eunuch and was in such a high and powerful position.
It made him somewhat unhappy.
But remembering what Han Cheng said, Wang Chengen was able to accompany Chongzhen to the end, and he was much kinder to the eunuch.
As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, he stood up and walked towards the outside of the Ancestral Temple.
Zhu Biao, Zhu Feng and others also followed Zhu Yuanzhang and walked out.
On the contrary, Chongzhen, the emperor, walked behind.
Looks very careful.
At this time, five hundred elite men brought by Wang Chengen had gathered outside the Ancestral Temple.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned when he saw these five hundred elites.
The expressions on the faces of Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Di, and Lan Yu also became extremely exciting.
"This...is an elite person??"
Zhu Biao couldn't help but speak.
With deep disbelief.
Some of the soldiers in front of me have gray hair.
Some people are obviously malnourished...
Such a group of people standing there loosely and looking a little noisy are the so-called elites? ?
Is this...a joke? !
These people are no different from those bandits.
They were accustomed to seeing elite soldiers and generals in the Hongwu Dynasty, but they really looked down upon these so-called elites.
It’s really a bit too overwhelming!
Chongzhen blushed a little, but Wang Chengen whispered: "Yes, this... this is specially selected."
Damn it, this is a specially selected defeated general, right? !
Lan Yu and others couldn't help but complain in their hearts.
"We are Zhu Yuanzhang! The one who founded the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongwu!
We have a vision! "
Zhu Yuanzhang came to these elites.
Before he could speak, the soldiers who saw the men in dragon robes coming in front of him knelt down and saluted, saying long live him.
After Zhu Yuanzhang asked them to stand up, he directly replaced Chongzhen and stood here and spoke to them.
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, although these people were a little strange, most of them were indifferent to it.
It was actually the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, which was too far away from the end of the Ming Dynasty.
After Zhu Yuanzhang gave a few words of training, he saw the reactions of these officers and soldiers, and after thinking about it, he didn't waste any more time.
Now, time is precious.
And he also saw that it was of no use to these soldiers to talk about great principles or to show their identity.
Now we come directly to the point.
"The country is in crisis, and you people must serve the country with loyalty.
We know you don't want to do this.
If you don't have enough to eat, don't have enough clothes to wear, and you don't get paid, you still have to work hard. That's impossible, and it shouldn't be the case.
Don't say it's you! We won’t do anything about this matter!
You can’t even get enough to eat, and you can’t even get paid, so why are you fighting for your life?
In the past, you couldn't get paid, but now that we are here, things will be different!
The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers!
From now on, you people, two taels of silver per month!
Every meal will keep you full!
When we come, we won't be in arrears with your salary.
But you also need to ensure one thing, and that is to obey the orders and kill the enemy bravely! ! "
Zhu Yuanzhang's words were not literate at all, but in the ears of these people, they were full of affinity and appeal.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the silver coins that Chongzhen had finally collected were carried in front of these people.
When the box was opened, it was so bright that it was hard to take your eyes away.
Those soldiers who did not react much when they heard that Zhu Yuanzhang announced his family name, but when they heard Zhu Yuanzhang said that they would be given a salary of two taels of silver per month and fed, and saw the so much white money, they suddenly became angry. became eager.
Two taels of silver a month is a lot of money!
It’s even more than Guan Ning’s cavalry!
Sure enough, these soldiers in the late Ming Dynasty had experienced too much and no longer wanted to eat the big cake.
I just want to eat the pie in front of me.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately divided the five hundred people into five teams.
One hundred people per team.
They were led by five people: King Zhu Fang of Qin, King Zhu Fan of Jin, King Zhu Di of Yan, as well as Lan Yu and Guo Ying.
Each person leads a team.
And let them personally pay the people they command.
People like Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, including Lan Yu Guo Ying.
Which one did not go through a lot of fighting during the Hongwu Dynasty?
They are all people who command thousands of troops!
As a result, now, one person only commands a hundred soldiers.
The key is to still have such soldiers.
It’s really killing a chicken with a sledgehammer!
The mood of several people was extremely complicated.
However, the situation was special at this time, but no one said anything. They all followed Zhu Yuanzhang's orders and did these things seriously.
Zhu Yuanzhang, while asking them to pay their wages, also ordered people to immediately bury the pots for cooking.
Just outside the Ancestral Temple, cook for these people.
And he was specifically told that there must be meat in the rice.
Let these people eat their fill.
For these soldiers, happiness really came too suddenly.
The life of food and salary that I dreamed of before suddenly came true at this time!
Holding the silver, I smelled the aroma of the rice and saw with my own eyes that the cook added meat to it.
The morale of these people suddenly increased a lot!
Zhu Yuanzhang needs to treat these people well.
After all, this is the first sword he plans to make when he comes to Chongzhen Dynasty.
Wait a minute, we will use these knives to ransack homes and exterminate families to get money.
Since the ministers of the Chongzhen Dynasty were each poorer than the last.
Since Li Zicheng paid so much money.
Now, let him, Emperor Gao, do this!
……
"Master Wei, why...why did your Majesty suddenly ask me to summon the royal guards and go to the Ancestral Temple to meet him?"
Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, looked at Wei Zaode, the chief minister of the cabinet, asking questions with some uneasiness.
The Jin Yiwei who was supposed to be the sword in the emperor's hand, at this time, actually acted as if he were the head of the cabinet and followed the lead.
Wei Zaode said: "It shouldn't be a big deal, it's just a matter of the capital's defense.
Commander Luo just brought people to see His Majesty to see what arrangements His Majesty would make. "
After listening to Wei Zaode's words, Luo Yangxing felt a lot more at ease.
"Then I will go immediately, but Mr. Wei, from now on... I will have to rely on you more.
During this period of time, there is no need to worry about your safety, Mr. Wei. I will definitely protect Mr. Wei. "
Wei Zaode smiled and said: "Easy to say, easy to say.
This matter is mutually beneficial.
The world is getting worse and worse, and our lives are getting harder and harder.
Only by relying on each other can we find a way to survive. "
Although Wei Zaode and Luo Yangxing did not say anything explicitly.
But at this point, it's no different than Ming said.
There is a tacit understanding between each other.
They have already begun to make plans after the city is broken.
Luo Yangxing cupped his hands towards Wei Zaode.
Without further words, he hurriedly summoned the royal guards and headed towards the Ancestral Temple...
As for the chief minister of the cabinet, Wei Zaode, he looked at Luo Yangxing leaving and smiled.
Let Chongzhen, a heartless and unkind emperor, just mess around!
Let’s see what flowers he can come up with!
He transferred the Jin Yiwei over. Can he really expect these Jin Yiwei to defend the city?
Jinyiwei is no longer the emperor's sword!
Thinking like this, I once again began to think in my heart about how to protect myself and gain great benefits...
