high official

Chapter 1014
After Wang Xian gave an order, Jin Yiwei immediately lit the matchlock on his gun.

"Oh, I can't help it!" Seeing the flames on the gun, Liu Sheng, who had been hiding behind Wang Xian to watch the excitement, was frightened, and ran out quickly, pushing the muzzle of Jin Yiwei's gun into the sky, facing Wang Xiangao shouted: "Tell them to stop!"

Wang Xian didn't move at all, and neither did his subordinates, the matchlock at the muzzle of the gun was already half burned!
Seeing that Wang Xian wouldn't move, Liu Sheng hurriedly turned his head and shouted at Zhao Ying: "Run now! You're looking for death!"

The old eunuch's complexion changed violently from green to red, and the inner struggle was clearly extremely intense.

The eunuchs beside him, big and small, didn't have the same concentration, and they couldn't help but shrink back. They didn't know who would take the lead first, and after a huff, they scrambled away.

It wasn't until the matchlock was about to burn out and the projectile was about to be shot that Zhao Ying stomped his feet resentfully, and with a flash of figure, he arrived in front of the big and small eunuchs.

'Papa, papa', amidst the terrifying gunshots, a dozen eunuchs who fell behind were shot to the ground.Zhao Ying was unscathed, turned around bitterly, and angrily shouted at Wang Xian: "Our family is at odds with you!" After speaking, his figure flickered again, and he left Liu Sheng's middle school with the rest of his disciples and grandchildren. barracks.

On the ground, half of the dozen or so eunuchs who were shot were dead, while the other half were wounded and wailed on the ground.Without waiting for Wang Xian's order, Jin Yiwei drew his sword and stepped forward, killing them one by one...

Wang Xian didn't respond to this, he just rubbed his chin and muttered: "It seems that we have to shoot black next time..."

Even Liu Sheng, who was used to fighting in this bloody scene, couldn't help frowning, and sighed: "The murderous intent is too heavy, too heavy!"

"I'm sorry, Lord Hou, I've been presumptuous in your camp." Wang Xian raised his eyebrows and said loudly.Even so, there was no apology on his face: "It's just that they dare to attack my family members, and I have to fight back!"

"Hey..." After all, Liu Sheng was very human, he sighed, and stopped entangled in this matter, and instead became interested in Wang Xian's musket.He reached out and grabbed a musket, wanting to get it in his hand to see what happened.

Although Jin Yiwei was not as strong as Liu Sheng, he held onto him tightly and looked at Wang Xian with a blushing face.The gun is there, the gun is dead, and the gun is dead. This is the iron rule of these Jinyiwei shooters.

Wang Xian waved his hand, and Jin Yiwei let go of his hand, letting Liu Sheng take the gun.

Liu Sheng held the musket in his hand and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more surprised he became. He couldn't help but tsk-tsk and said: "This thing is much stronger than the firecrackers of Shenjiying!"

He used to be in charge of the Shenji Camp all year round, so he is naturally an expert in firearms.The more expert you are, the more you can see how extraordinary this firearm is. Not only does it have more devices such as a rear sight and a trigger than the firearms of Shenjiying, but the smooth and straight barrel of the gun is also something Liu Sheng has never seen before.

Weighing the musket in his hand, Liu Sheng's first thought was to imitate, but the second thought soon came to him, that is, it could not be imitated.In addition, it's okay to say that the barrel of the gun alone is something that the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry will never be able to make!Ouchi's skilled craftsmen spare no expense to achieve the same level, but the guns produced in that way are too expensive, and can only be used as rare toys for princes and nobles, and they will definitely not be able to equip the army.

So Liu Sheng quickly had a third thought. He looked at Wang Xian with a smile and said, "Give me a thousand..."

"Don't even think about it!" Wang Xianda rolled his eyes and said, "I only have two or three hundred in total, and I want you, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, to send me a batch!"

Of course Liu Sheng knew that Wang Xian was unwilling to tell the truth, so he smiled and said, "It's fine if you don't send me away, how about you send someone to teach me how to make a gun?" Live this opportunity to build up your strengths!
"I'd better give you a gun..." For the same reason, it is absolutely impossible for Wang Xian to share the most core military technology with others. He patted Liu Sheng on the shoulder and said, "Cooperate well. After you're done, I'll give you a hundred guns." strip."

"One hundred is enough, at least five hundred." Liu Sheng bargained.

"If you have more, you have to buy it." Wang Xian was not polite at all.

"Success, I want as much as you have."

"Don't talk too much, my gun is very expensive."

After reaching an alliance with Liu Sheng, when Wang Xian came out of Liu Sheng's camp, Dai Hua asked, "My lord, shall we go to Le'an Prefecture?"

"Don't go there yet." Wang Xian shook his head and said, "Find a place to see the situation, and wait until Liu Sheng and the White Lotus Sect finish the battle."

.

In Beijing city in mid-winter season, the clouds are densely covered, the north wind howls, and the Nanhaizi in Xiyuan has already turned into ice.

The eunuchs huddled and stood motionless outside the Hall of Showa.The cold wind outside the hall was like a knife, and the knife pierced the cotton robes of the eunuchs. The eunuchs had long since froze and lost consciousness.But no one dared to move.I was afraid that any noise would offend the irritable emperor in the palace and cause death.

The winter of this year is destined to be very uneven.There has been no snow in the winter, and there have been demon stars recently. The officials of the Qin Tianjian said that this is the wrath of the heavens, and the emperor should fast and introspect, and so on.Ordinarily, this is the meaning of the question, and it is not an outrageous statement, but it aroused the emperor's fury, and he killed two officials of Qin Tianjian with the stick!

Xia Yuanji and other important ministers could understand the anger of some emperors. If there is no snow this winter, there will be a catastrophe in the coming year. Not only will the life of the court not ease, but it will worsen.Lack of money!It's like the chains that restrain Zhu Di, a fierce tiger, leaving him with fangs and claws, but he can't do anything...

But only Yang Shiqi knew why the emperor was furious.The fire a year ago burned down the three main halls, and at the same time seriously shook the emperor's prestige.Although Zhu Di's thunderbolt method was properly resolved and suppressed the criticism from the government and the opposition, but a year later, the Buddha's mother is still at large, and the White Lotus Sect led by him has become stronger and stronger, and has the momentum to annex Shandong!

This makes those voices against Zhu Di the best breeding ground.And this time everyone has learned how to be good, no one will speak directly to the face, but talk behind the scenes, secretly connecting together, and getting closer to His Royal Highness, who also clearly opposes the emperor!
What is more serious than the situation in the capital is the local area. In Nanjing, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which was abandoned by Zhu Di, there were even shocking remarks about asking the prince to ascend the throne in advance and enshrining Zhu Di as the Supreme Emperor, and there were not a few people who seconded it.As for the northern provinces, they don't have much affection for the crown prince, but various cults are flourishing, and they seem to be learning from the Shandong White Lotus Sect...

Zhu Di never expected that after he usurped the throne, the country that he had painstakingly managed for more than ten years would appear unstable again... At this time, Qin Tianjian said something about the wrath of the heavens and made the emperor reflect. ?

.

After the winter, Zhu Di's old problem of many years came to the office on time again. He huddled in an easy chair all day long, and the brazier beside him had to be extremely hot.Once he lost his warmth, he would feel pain all over his body, and it would be difficult to catch his breath... In the past, he was resting at this time, and he didn't allow his officials to worry about political affairs.

But this year, he has to hold on to his sick body and keep an eye on the situation in Shandong.

Standing under the steps are the prince, grandson, king of Zhao, Duke Cheng, Marquis Yangwu, and a group of senior scholars.The reason why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ended his contemplation behind closed doors and could re-enter the hall is because the January period is coming soon, and Zhu Di just asked him to come and listen to the news...

The military situation in Shandong has been continuously sent to the capital through multiple channels of the local government and the factory guard system, and it will immediately inherit the imperial front.

"Report to the Emperor," Jin Youzi reported solemnly, "The battle between the King of Han and the White Lotus Sect has come to an end..."

"Speak." Zhu Di didn't move, and popped out a word from the cracks in his lips.

"The King of Han was defeated, Le'an Prefecture fell, His Highness the King of Han disappeared..." Jin Youzi reported the sad news with difficulty.

Before this military newspaper entered the palace, all the princes knew it, but only the emperor didn't know it.After Jin Youzi finished speaking, everyone held their breath, not daring to look at Zhu Di's face.

However, Zhu Di didn't get angry right away, he just twitched his brows, sat up with a gloomy expression, "Where's Liu Sheng?"

"Marquis Anyuan first captured Qingzhou City, the headquarters of the White Lotus Sect, and then defeated the White Lotus Sect under Qingzhou City." Jin Youzi replied softly: "Nearly [-] enemies were wiped out, and the rest scattered and fled. Marquis Anyuan's troops are limited. No further pursuit."

"Is there any more?" Zhu Di was still as cold as ice, but if he looked closely at his pupils, he could find a faint flame burning in the emperor's eyes.

"Also, there is finally news of Zhongyong Bo Wangxian who has been missing for half a year." Jin Youzi's forehead was covered with sweat, and he said bravely: "He wrote a letter saying that he has investigated the inside story of the Hulugu battle." Speaking of Here, Jin Youzi stopped talking, took out a secret newspaper with both hands, and held it high above his head.

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, then moved his finger slightly, and the eunuch on duty, Zheng He, hurriedly forwarded the secret report.Zhu Di struggled to open the folder, and began browsing by the charcoal fire.The faint blue flames were silent, reflecting the changing face of the emperor, which seemed very strange.

Everyone dared not say a word, waiting for the moment when the emperor's thunder broke out.However, after Zhu Di finished watching the secret memorial, his expression became numb. He lightly clasped the cover of the memorial with his fingers, his eyes were slightly closed, and he fell into deep thought.

The princes had no choice but to wait patiently. When their legs were numb and dizzy, Zhu Di slowly opened his eyes. The murderous intent in his eyes was fleeting. He looked at the prince expressionlessly and said, "This is Is the big change His Royal Highness said?"

"My son only knew that the battle situation in Shandong would change drastically within a month, but he didn't expect that the second younger brother would be defeated by the Bailian Sect..." Zhu Gaoxu hurried forward and knelt down to plead guilty.

Zhu Di also couldn't figure out why the second son, who was brave and good at fighting, secretly recruited soldiers and bought horses for several years, and even recruited foreign aid from outside the pass, but he could lose everything in one battle.
But this does not prevent the emperor from attacking the prince, Zhu Di said coldly: "Why didn't you expect it? I think you have expected it a long time ago! Now it's all right, the serious troubles in the heart are gone, and His Royal Highness can finally rest easy !"
