At the end of the Ming Dynasty, I freely traveled through Yangshen

Chapter 46 Wu Xiang
"That's the truth, but if those civil servants jump out and say that this is not good, then the prince will be in big trouble."

Recalling the way he was criticized in the court meeting this morning, Wang Chengen felt his head hurt.

The fighting power of the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty is really quite strong. They are all a group of masters who cannot be beaten or scolded. If you beat them, these civil servants are eager to receive the imperial stick and go out to gain a reputation for being brave enough to rebuke them. Just scold them. These Civil servants can quote scriptures and make people like Wang Chengen who are not sharp in their words doubt their lives.

"It's okay. They are just talking nonsense. If you don't believe it, wait for another two months and they won't be able to say anything." I thought that the courier Mr. Li would roast these civil servants in two months. , Zhu Cixiang's tone became very firm, "Wang Banban, don't talk too much when you go in later. Everything depends on me, so don't ruin my arrangements."

"This…"

After hearing this, Wang Chengen was still a little hesitant. He was really afraid of the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty. What he hadn't told Zhu Cixi yet was that when the court had just dispersed, he came to see the prince and pointed out to several imperial envoys at the gate of the imperial city. After scolding him for a while, after they had enough scolding, these people rolled up their sleeves and walked away. Even so, Wang Chengen was stunned and did not dare to attack the civil servants first.

Wang Chengen's character could be called honest to ordinary people, but in the officialdom, this character is considered cowardly.

Seeing this, Zhu Cixiang laughed and patted Wang Chengen on the shoulder to reassure him, "Wang Banban, I am a drunkard who cares not about wine but about the mountains and rivers. Although Wu Xiang has some talents in leading troops. , but it is not worthy of me to win over you like this. What I value most is the 100 to [-] old soldiers Wu Sangui has ready to fight. The hands of these [-] to [-] old soldiers are all stained with blood. Soldiers with all-round combat capabilities are of great use whether they are used to deal with bandits or to move the capital south, and if you want Wu Sangui to leave, and you don't have [-] million taels of silver, you have to do this now."

"I do this knowing that it is difficult to get away with nothing. But if Wu Xiang writes a letter asking Wu Sangui to borrow troops, it will be difficult for him to mobilize [-] or [-] troops. But Wu Sangui will have to send [-] to [-] elite troops to Beijing to facilitate him. The Wu family should become a matter for the royal family."

Zhu Cixiang knew that the Ming Dynasty still had generals who could fight. One month from tomorrow, on February [-]th, a loyal man named Zhou Yuji would appear at Ningwuguan. Zhou Yuji would bring a thousand soldiers with him. The Yongwei camp was stunned to defend Ningwuguan for more than ten days under the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops by Li Zicheng.

But these are all things in the future. If Zhu Cixiang has the ability, he still hopes that he can save Zhou Yuji.

"Yes, yes, if Wu Sangui really brings 4000 people, then we in Beijing will not be afraid of Li Zicheng coming to fight. Then the prince will be a hero like Yu Qian."

Wang Chengen nodded when he heard this, feeling that the prince would be the one to settle the accounts. However, by bringing the young girl from the Wu family into the East Palace, he could recruit three or four thousand soldiers. The Ming Dynasty might be saved in this way, and then the prince would be able to defend it. With the prestige of protecting the city and the country, why should I be afraid of the gossip of sour scholars?
Don’t be afraid, I definitely won’t be afraid now.

Thinking of this, Wang Chengen felt that what the Crown Prince said made sense. They discussed some matters on how to persuade Empress Zhou and Emperor Chongzhen on the way, and came to the conclusion that Empress Zhou and Emperor Chongzhen actually had no reason to object. Anyway, The top priority now is to make the imperial city's military equipment capable of resisting Li Zicheng's army, otherwise all else will be empty talk.

Of course, it is better not to talk to Emperor Chongzhen in a hurry. Emperor Chongzhen did not think that the Ming Dynasty was about to fall. If Emperor Chongzhen knew that his son was doing these actions under his eyes, it would definitely be a stumbling block.

Of course, Zhu Cixiang is not so naive as to just use marriage to trap Wu Xiang and make Wu Xiang work for him. The most important point in contacting and buying his subordinates is to provide enough benefits. In a word, for soldiers like Guan Ningjun, Don't say too much about loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. Give me something practical, give me money and land, and give my wife a set. Everything can be sorted out.

..."My admiral Wu Xiang (Wu Sanfu), the commander of the military camp, pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Governor Wang!"

Coming out of the reception hall in the inner school grounds and entering the lobby of the school grounds, Wu Xiang, Wu Sanfu and his son, along with some accompanying Wu family servants and Zhu Cixiang, saluted and bowed.

Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu recognized Wang Cheng'en, but they had never met the Ming Dynasty Prince Zhu Cixi several times, so they didn't react immediately. Fortunately, the little eunuch beside him who had stuffed the money before knew what was going on and took the initiative to whisper to Wu Xiang. He and Wu Sanfu introduced him as the crown prince, so that the two seemingly big-bodied father and son did not cause any misconduct in front of the palace.

However, Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu were still playing drums in their hearts. Didn't they say that they came to the inner school field to arrange the defense layout of Beijing for Supervisor Wang? Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also here? Are they just passing by or something?

The two men looked at Zhu Cixiang secretly, wondering secretly, but they didn't understand why Zhu Cixiang came to the inner school grounds.

"Get up."

"Everyone else, please go out. I have something to talk with the two admirals."

Zhu Cixiang raised his hand and asked the two people to get up first. At the same time, he ordered the people to be driven out and all the irrelevant people to get out so that they did not hear anything they shouldn't hear.

Wang Chengen, who was on the side, winked at the little eunuch who had just called for trouble. The little eunuch immediately understood and dispersed with these Wu family servants.

"Not bad."

Only then did Zhu Cixi take a good look at these two people. He saw that both of them were tall and strong, with sharp features. They looked very tough. At the same time, their beards, which were in line with the aesthetics of this era, also added to their appearance. A bit rough and arrogant as a warrior, Wu Xiang's face looks older, but his eyes are sharp and he can tell at a glance that he is the kind of scheming master. Wu Sangui's younger brother Wu Sanfu is much younger, in his twenties. At his age, although his skin is dark, he gives the impression of being more simple and immature.

Especially when Zhu Cixiang looked at Wu Sanfu and saw his bulging muscles and tall frame, he felt that according to Yang Shen's martial arts algorithm, Wu Sanfu directly stepped into the muscle training, which was considered to be part muscle training, part skin training, and part bone training. characters.

The training methods of Yangshen World Martial Arts are systematic exercises, but it does not mean that they cannot be practiced at the same time. The reason why Yangshen Martial Arts trains meat, muscles, skin and bones is that it is better to practice in this way. It does not mean that those with extraordinary talents cannot practice at the same time. Wu Sanfu is tall and experienced in battles. Naturally, he has reached the path of connecting with martial arts. However, it is also possible that his achievements will stop here.

　There are 20 words to put on the shelves. I will add one more chapter today. Let’s see if it’s enough this month.
