Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 67 Arrogance
"presumptuous!"

"Bold!"

Of course, the people on Zhu Yousong's side did not show weakness. Seeing that they dared to be so rude to his Majesty, how could they bear it? Headed by Zheng Hongkui and Zu Hai, more than a dozen personal guards all drew their swords and suddenly stood up. Swords are on the verge of breaking out.

"Stop!" Zhu Yousong yelled, all the people on Zheng Hongkui's side were silent, and took a few steps back, Li Guofu let out a sigh of relief, and secretly said, my lord, you can really hold your breath, if you don't say anything , the slaves piled up.

Zhu Yousong saw that it was time for him to appear on the stage. The reason why he didn't speak just now was because he was observing people like Huang Chuangzi. While observing Huang Degong's reaction, he recalled the knowledge gained from later history books and searched the memory of the original owner of this body. Combining these three aspects and combining the situation in front of him, Zhu Yousong, who has been watching for a long time, already knows what he thinks, and thinks that the style of his plan is basically right, but if he doesn't say a word, he will fight, so Zhu Yousong just Drink away everyone.

"Commander, all generals, I have something to say, do you want to hear it?" Zhu Yousong cupped his hands firmly at Huang Degong and the others.

Huang Degong took a look through the light, isn't this a general, but he looks very vigorous, the young man looks like a [-]-year-old man, tall, and Jun Lang's facial features are somewhat familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere, but for a while I can't think of it, a decent armor, calm as a mountain, really energetic.

Huang Degong hastily stopped the generals. Of course he knew that there would be serious consequences. If his subordinates wanted to kill these people in front of them, it would be a real rebellion. If they killed the imperial envoys, they might destroy the whole family, but it was really difficult to swallow. I can't hold my breath.

Although Huang Degong was reckless, he had to consider the consequences at this time, suppressing his anger as much as possible, and clasped his fists: "But I don't know who you are?"

"It's Zhu Tian, ​​a general of the Chinese Army in the Commander's Mansion of the Five Armies."

Although he thought he was an unknown person, Huang Degong also wanted to hear what he had to say at this juncture when the atmosphere was about to explode.

"I don't know what advice General Zhu has?"

"This counselor thinks there is some misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?"

"The commander-in-chief listened to Ben Shen speak slowly. Ben Shen thought there were three misunderstandings here: first, the salary was indeed paid by His Majesty's internal funds, and no one cheated from it. Ben Shen can guarantee it with his character."

When Zhu Yousong said this, Huang Degong didn't say anything. Several generals under his command, such as Tian Xiong, Ma Degong, and Zhang Jie, turned their mouths like ladles, and their faces were full of disdain. He thinks that Zhu Yousong is inconsiderate, ignorant of current affairs, and a mere general in the Chinese army, how can he have the right to dictate to our Lord Hou?You also threatened to guarantee it with your character, can your character be used as a silver envoy?Is there room for you to speak on this occasion?Where do you put the angel officer, and pass your immediate boss, the admiral of the Beijing camp, it's too arrogant!

Of course, this situation did not escape Zhu Yousong's eyes. Zhu Yousong pretended not to see it and continued: "Secondly, since His Majesty has made a promise, it must be followed by the law, and there is absolutely no reason to go back and forth, so I promised to give it to you." The commander-in-chief's salary will be paid in full, just as His Majesty said, no soldier will be owed, and no one, two or one penny will be delayed!"

Zhu Yousong had been brewing for a long time, and these few words spoke loudly.

Huang Degong nodded at Zhu Yousong's sincerity, and the unhappiness in his heart disappeared a lot, but he was still puzzled, where did he say so much money, but it was not easy to interrupt him.

It's just that the commander-in-chief under him, Fei Yang, was used to being domineering, and finally couldn't bear it anymore. It was Tian Xiong who came forward again and first clasped his fists at Huang Degong: "Master Hou, please let me interject a few words."

Seeing that Huang Degong acquiesced, Tian Xiong glared at Zhu Yousong with his eyes full of contempt, "General Zhu is very eloquent, but as your Excellency, how can we convince you that your words are not lies? 100 taels of silver?"

Li Guofu, Zheng Hongkui, Zu Hai and others saw that this person was so arrogant and domineering towards their majesty, they could no longer hold back. Normally, they would have taken action or hinted at their subordinates to take action to teach this ignorant and arrogant person a lesson, but today's situation is special , Knowing that His Majesty intends to conceal his identity, they dare not uncover it without authorization.

In fact, Zhu Yousong had paid attention to Tian Xiong a long time ago, but he didn't know his name or name. You must know that he is the notoriously low-minded person in history, and he has long since disdain to talk to him.

However, Zhu Yousong saw that this man's face was pointed or not, round or not, his head was long or not long, or square or square, and his whole shape was neither sharp nor round, especially those round eyes. The little mouse's eyes were full of gloom, and at a glance, he knew that he was definitely not a kind person.

Zhu Yousong knew that he looked down on him, so he said flatly, "I don't know your honor and name?"

"Huh." Tian Xiong snorted softly, and the corners of his mouth were pressed down to form a curved "one", "The general's surname is Tian, ​​and the single character name is Xiong. Thanks to the love of Lord Hou, he is now the commander-in-chief of the Artillery Battalion under Lord Hou." " Tian Xiong said this with a superior attitude, as if he was several levels above Zhu Yousong.

No wonder he was condescending and domineering. Among the military generals in the Ming Dynasty, the power of the commander-in-chief was indeed not small. Because the military system of the Ming Dynasty implemented the system of garrison fields and the system of guards, most of the chiefs of the guards were hereditary, and only the power to manage the soldiers had no power. The right to recruit troops and horses. In case of war, the military leaders are temporarily appointed by the emperor, including the commander-in-chief, who are the officers with real power to lead the army. After the war, the commander-in-chief, including the commander, will return the soldiers The guard, the seal is handed over to the Ministry of War.According to the different establishments, the commander-in-chief is different in size, and most of them are appointed by honorable relatives and dignitaries trusted by the emperor, and some commander-in-chiefs even have first-rank officials.

However, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, this situation changed. There were frequent civil upheavals, the government was changing day by day, and the rules and regulations of the court were abolished. Counting the Zuo Liangzhu in Wuchang, the princes of the five towns warlords wantonly expanded their strength, and their troops swelled greatly. It's no surprise to appoint their own military leaders, including the chief soldier, at most they will beat the imperial court, and the imperial court will turn a blind eye.

Tian Xiong, the commander-in-chief of the artillery battalion in front of him, is a third-rank military attache, in charge of the [-] artillery team in Chuzhou. Zhu Yousong's self-proclaimed commander-in-chief of the five armies has a much higher number of generals in the Chinese army.

When Zhu Yousong heard the name, his heart skipped a beat. Is this person Tian Xiong?
Of course he knew that according to the original historical development, half a year later, the Qing army broke Yangzhou, Tujing Division, the division of the four towns, the surrender of the surrender, the fall of Nanjing, and the collapse of the Hongguang regime.That Zhu Yousong fell into the lake, but Huang Degong refused to surrender, fought desperately against the protector, and committed suicide after being injured.It was this Tian Xiong and Ma Degong who betrayed their masters and begged for glory. They refused to let their masters down even after being bitten to the neck with Zhu Yousong on their backs, and persistently carried Zhu Yousong into the Qing army camp as shameful traitors.

After figuring out Tian Xiong's historical trend, Zhu Yousong gritted his teeth secretly. After a long time of trouble, it was this boy who acted according to the wind and betrayed his master for glory. He was so arrogant and rude to me today. Speak out for the original owner of this body!
