Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 422 What's the matter with benefiting the country and the army?
"Empress Dowager, on the shore of the land, is it the land of the king? All the soldiers and horses of this Ming Dynasty are the soldiers and horses of the Lord Long Live. Since they are soldiers and horses, it is natural to expand the territory and defend the place."

After Lin Shulu, the eunuch supervised by the horse supervisor, knelt down and kowtowed, he spoke extremely seriously, and Chu Zhaoren, who knelt beside him, also had a serious expression on his face, without any fear or panic of being exposed.

"Empress Dowager, since you are the soldiers of the Tian family, and since you are the soldiers of the Long Live Lord, then naturally you must be strong and brave to fight bravely, instead of being cowardly and cowering in the face of the enemy."

Everyone in the palace knew a few things. Although the Cisheng Empress Dowager Li was strong, she could listen to the truth. As long as she explained something, as long as it was good for the country and the world, she would obey even though she was unhappy.

What Lin Shulu said was not selfish, and what he said was the truth. After the Empress Dowager Li sneered, she didn't continue to reprimand, she just waited for Lin Shulu to finish speaking.

"Chu Zhaoren sent out the soldiers of the capital to practice. From the perspective of the left guard of Longxiang, it has already achieved results. It is indeed a good strategy for benefiting the country and the army. The battalions of the warriors, the right guard of Longxiang, and the left and right guards of Wuxiang all use Get ready to go out and perform martial arts in Beijing, for military training, and to show the majesty of the Heavenly Family, since all battalions of the imperial guards in the capital can go to the northern region to practice, why not in the Tiger Wei Camp of the Tianjin Guard?"

Empress Dowager Li's complexion has eased a little, Lin Shulu knelt on the ground, his upper body became straighter and straighter, his voice raised a little, and he continued:
"Empress Dowager, slaves and servants are risking their lives to speak. The battalion officer of Huwei Camp, Wang Tong, is a close subject of Lord Long Live, but the more he is like this, the less he can take sides. Since Huwei Camp is the first battalion of the imperial army, it is his responsibility to prepare the army for war. If you rely on favor and trust to live in a rich and noble place, do not think about progress, are lazy in training, and are afraid of the cold and war, wouldn't it be a waste of internal money to pay homage to your servants? Different battalions, being lazy and afraid of the cold will harm Wang Qianhu and this army in the long run."

After finishing speaking, he kowtowed to the ground again. Chu Zhaoren, who was on the side, carefully glanced at the first sentence, and saw that Queen Mother Li's anger and coldness were completely gone. said:

"Empress Dowager, when the servants did this, they just wanted to make the imperial guards under the imperial horse prison more capable and capable, so that the guards in the imperial city would be more solid and worry-free."

Standing next to Queen Mother Li, Zhang Jing's face was not very good. The two eunuchs, the supervisor and the admiral of the imperial horse supervisor, kept training soldiers below. Isn't it a disguised way to say that their management is not good.

There was silence in the hall for a while, and Empress Dowager Li said slowly:
"Zhang Jing, what do you think of what Lin Shulu said?"

Every sentence Lin Shulu said is a great truth, and everything is for the sake of the battalions and strong troops of the Yumajian. Zhang Jing naturally knows how to say it. He doesn't want to, but he still bows and says:

"Returning to your mother, what Lin Shulu said is reasonable. Since they are soldiers and horses of the army, they must be trained and prepared for battle. The battalions going north to practice may have suffered for the generals and soldiers, but it is still good for us Ming..."

Before he could finish speaking, Empress Dowager Li interrupted him and said gently:
"Aijia, no matter what you think when you are doing things, as long as this matter is beneficial to our Daming Jiangshan Sheji, then it should be done, Jinxiu!"

A female official nearby hurried forward to agree, and Empress Dowager Li said:
"It's the meaning of Aijia, tell the words of Lin Shulu just now to the Long Live Lord, and let the Long Live Lord issue an order to transfer the Huwei Camp to the Xuan Mansion for drills!"

The female officer quickly complied, and everyone knelt down and kowtowed...

************
"Please trouble Miss Jinxiu to send a message, Xiao Liang, go to the left wing and get that emerald jade butterfly pendant for you, Miss Jinxiu."

The door of the imperial study room was closed, but the eunuch Zhang Cheng, the supervisor of ceremonies, sent it out. There are very few people in the world who can send Zhang Cheng out, but no one dares to come from the Empress Dowager Cisheng. neglect.

Hearing the order, Zhao Jinliang bowed to accept the order, and trotted away. Jinxiu, the female official of the Compassionate Ning Palace, smiled and saluted Zhang Cheng Wanfu, and said in a low voice:

"It's really killing the maidservant, and the maidservant would like to thank Eunuch Zhang for his kindness..."

When he was being polite, he heard Emperor Wanli say loudly:
"Zhang Cheng!"

The voice sounded impatient, Zhang Cheng shook his head slightly, showing a helpless smile, and the female officer Jinxiu also showed a knowing smile.

Zhang Cheng turned around and entered the imperial study room. Emperor Wanli sat behind the desk with a sullen face. When he saw Zhang Cheng coming in and was about to speak, Zhang Cheng shook his head quickly, stretched out his hand and pointed to the back.

Emperor Wanli kept a sullen face and did not make a sound. He waited until he heard the door of the Imperial Study House closed, and then said in a deep voice:

"Chu Zhaoren, a talented killer, can't stop. He stares at the close friends of the widow endlessly. If the widow doesn't make an order, I will transfer the Huwei camp to Xuanzhen for drills. It is absolutely impossible!!"

Zhang Cheng pondered for a while, and said with some embarrassment:
"Long live, Chu Zhaoren is indeed very selfish in this matter, and he has the heart of harming others, but I have to say something, Chu Zhaoren did the right thing!"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Cheng agreed with this. Emperor Wanli was taken aback, and his brows furrowed, but he knew that Zhang Cheng was on his side, and he would definitely not be against himself by saying this. Thinking of this, he suppressed his own strength Furious, he asked in a cold voice:
"how to say?"

Zhang Cheng took a few steps forward, bowed and said:
"Long live, Longxiang's left guard Deng Pu and Hu Qi came back, Xue Zhanye and Zou Yi went to see it, and someone from the Department of Public Security was watching outside. When they came back, they all said that although it looked hard, But Longxiang Zuowei's demeanor from top to bottom is indeed different from before, and he has the posture of an elite soldier. The few people who went to see him are all knowledgeable soldiers, and their words are reliable. Long live Lord, slaves also know Wang Tonghe Huwei Camp is something that Lord Long Live can trust and use, and Wang Tong's ability to do things is rare and loyal."

Emperor Wanli originally leaned forward, but as Zhang Cheng spoke, he slowly leaned back in his chair. Zhang Cheng, who accompanied him every day, naturally understood that this was the emperor's gesture of calming down, and continued to say:
"Since it is the power in the hands of the Long Live Lord, it is necessary to make him more useful. No matter how dirty Chu Zhaoren's mind is, the matter of going to the border town to practice is of great benefit to the training of soldiers. I have heard about the art of war, and I know that elite soldiers and strong generals cannot be trained in one place. It is only useful to go out and have a look, and fight with the frontier army and small groups of Tartars. This is how to train such soldiers Malay is also of great benefit to Wang Tong's future benefits and prosperity, the stronger the tiger's prestige, the greater the power in the hands of Long Live Lord, and the stronger the tiger's prestige, the greater the contribution of Wang Tong."

After finishing a few words, Emperor Wanli was silent for a while, heaved a sigh of relief, and said slowly:

"Zhang Banban, let's draw up an order!"

*************
When the eunuch Lin Shulu, who was supervised by the imperial horse supervisor, came out of the Palace of Compassion, the news that he played the right role in front of the empress dowager had not yet spread in the palace.

However, everyone in the palace could see that the new Admiral Eunuch Chu Zhaoren's attitude towards Supervising Eunuch Lin Shulu was different from before, and now he completely regarded himself as a subordinate, and his words and deeds were extremely polite.

After leaving the range of the Compassionate Ning Palace, the two parties bid farewell, Lin Shulu got on the soft sedan chair, and said:
"I'm a little sleepy, hurry up, go back to sleep for half an hour and have to go to work."

The little eunuchs carrying the palanquin agreed in unison, lifted them up and walked quickly, went back to the courtyard where they lived, and walked through the door quickly, and the eunuch Shuangxi who was serving in the courtyard hurriedly followed in small steps with a teapot in hand.

When entering the room, the "sleepy" Lin Shulu was sitting at the table. After Shuangxi closed the door, Lin Shulu lowered his voice and said:

"Shuangxi, you will leave the palace in half an hour and pass on our family's words to the second child."

*************
Just like after Wang Tong received the decree, he thought that although the training was hard, it would be of great benefit to the Huwei camp. Emperor Wanli's decree did not cause the slightest disturbance in the capital.

Since it is good for Daming, Wang Tong and his Huwei camp will only suffer a little, and it doesn't matter if they work harder.

*************
After the palace's decree was delivered to Tianjin Wei, considering the distance between Beijing and Tianjin, Wang Tong responded immediately, and it was a very positive response.

Anyone who has dealt with Wang Tong in Jingshizhong knows that this Jinyiwei Qianhu has a serious temper, and he really doesn't know what he will do with the favor of the emperor, but he didn't expect him to be so knowledgeable this time.

It's not that no one was ready to watch Wang Tong's reaction closely and make a fuss about his feedback. Seeing his knowledge and interest, they all fell silent.

Wang Tong's positive response made Cisheng Empress Dowager Li quite appreciative, and she also praised a few words in the Compassion Palace. Emperor Wanli even specially ordered a reward, and ordered the capital's public security department to send another 5 taels of silver.

*************
After the decree of the capital award arrived in Tianjin Wei, some apprehensive and flustered businessmen and people of all kinds finally settled down, but the quick-witted people immediately realized that this was a great opportunity to curry favor with Wang Tong.

First, a few big merchants came to their door and asked for help. They asked Huweiying what they could do for their trip to Xuanzhen this time.

There was a big merchant at the beginning, and everyone else followed suit, but everyone also understood that Wang Tong was already very rich. Could it be that everyone is needed? The key is to continue to support the army. Everyone expresses an attitude, It's all to make Mr. Wang have a good impression.

But what I didn't expect was that Wang Tong really opened his mouth to everyone this time. Sanjiang Trading Company came forward, one is to buy the wood and planks in the hands of various companies, and the other is to rent the cattle and horses of various companies.

Now the delivery of goods to the capital and various prefectures and counties can only be carried out by carts pulled by animals. Huweiying's request really makes everyone embarrassed, but Wang Tong's side does not take away all of them, and each family only transfers one or two ends.

Everyone is also surprised. From Tianjinwei to Xuanfu, the road is full of people. Wouldn't it be more convenient to supply supplies in the local area, and you don't need so many big animals to pull the cart! ——
