The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

"Yuanqing, the main expenditure of these days is in the blacksmith's shop. It costs seven or eight thousand Liang to buy pig iron and coal. There are also more than 2000 liang of pensions for the wounded and wounded. There are also the construction of Changsheng Island, the living materials of Guanglu Island, and the repair of ships... "

Qu minqiu carefully explained to Li Yuanqing the flow of funds during this period, and detailed records can be found for each transaction.

But although Qu minqiu has done it carefully enough, Li Yuanqing's scalp is still numb.

I don't know if I'm not in charge.

At this time, there were more than 10000 people under Li Yuanqing's command. They ate, drank and laza every day. Even if they didn't do anything, they would have to spend hundreds of liang of silver, not to mention. During this period of time, Li Yuanqing went on a continuous campaign. Although it seemed that all of them had won the battle, the loss was not small. The key was that Li Yuanqing had not obtained the real valuable booty

Even if it is a golden mountain, it just can't live.

Li Yuanqing originally thought that his previous savings could be maintained for some time. But now we can see that the work of the blacksmith shop can not be stopped, nor can the construction of the new camp on Changsheng island be interrupted. The population under his control has to eat every day, and the soldiers can't stop their daily training. As a result, Li Yuanqing has actually begun to run a financial deficit, which is becoming more and more serious.

"Damn it." Li Yuanqing couldn't help but spat.

I thought I was a real boss, but I didn't know that this money was not enough to repay the bank's loan.

"Yuanqing, I still have some silver here. Otherwise, you can use it first. Let's get through this crisis first. We can make money slowly. " Qu minqiu can't bear Li Yuanqing's grief, and embraces Li Yuanqing in his arms full of maternal brilliance.

Smelling the familiar fragrance of Qu minqiu, Li Yuanqing was intoxicated, but his thinking was more clear, "minqiu, you can't move the money. Can living people still let urine suffocate? Don't worry. I have a way to solve these problems. "

With that, Li Yuanqing turned over and pressed Qu minqiu under his body, "minqiu, spring curfew is worth a thousand dollars. Let's do something more meaningful. "

Qu minqiu originally wanted to persuade Li Yuanqing again, but for a moment, she had no strength to speak. She could only whisper with instinct

……

Capital, forbidden city.

Today, the sun is good, the weather has begun to warm up.

By the lake of royal garden, there is a delicate wooden building boat half a man high. It has finished the finishing work and is waiting for the water trial.

Originally, Zhu Youxiao, the emperor of Tianqi, had already arrived at the lake to hold a grand water trial and sailing ceremony for the treasure ship he had built himself. However, Wei Zhongxian had several news from his side, so that the little emperor of Tianqi directly put the treasure boat into the water, kicked it to pieces, and came to the imperial study angrily.

In the imperial study, the eunuchs and maidens who served in the imperial study all knew that something had happened. They did not dare to breathe. They knelt on the ground in silence, for fear of committing the emperor's taboo.

It has been more than a year since emperor Tianqi ascended the throne. Although he is fond of carpentry and childish, he is generous and kind to people, and is not too harsh to eunuchs and maids.

But today, the emperor even spent more than a month of his mind, the elaborate treasure ship is crushed, who is not open-minded, dare to commit his misfortune?

The emperor angrily sat down on the throne, glared at Wei Zhongxian and said, "my partner, what is going on? This world, or is it not my Ming Dynasty? This is not my country. Are they still not my ministers? "

Wei Zhongxian, who came to power because of the Hakkas, was already a eunuch in charge of rites.

The so-called eunuch BingBi means that he can criticize Hong on behalf of the emperor.

In the Ming Dynasty, Wei Zhongxian could write on behalf of the emperor for the appointment of officials of three grades or above.

All the core memorials and secret reports of the important officials of the imperial court and the royal guards should be presented to him first, and then played with the emperor.

It can be said that under one person, over ten thousand people.

But at this time, even Wei Zhongxian, who claimed to have a deep understanding of the emperor's temperament, had never seen the little emperor get so angry. He knelt down on the ground and kowtowed desperately. "The emperor, the emperor, don't be angry. If you are so angry, you can't redeem your servants. Maidservant thinks, perhaps, perhaps solution adult, also have to have the bitterness. "

Just now, Wei Zhongxian received news that the cabinet proposed a new candidate for Liao's economy and strategy, the right chamberlain of the Ministry of war and the governor of Xuanfu, Xie Jingbang. In a few days, he wrote for the third time in a row, rejecting the court's proposal on the grounds of his old age and ill health. He asked the old man to return to his hometown.

When the Liao Dynasty collapsed, the little emperor of the Apocalypse was already angry and worried. How could he have thought that an old minister like Xie Jingbang, who had been in charge of three dynasties, had given him a pick.

What is the face of his son of heaven? What should he do with his Liao land?

"The pain? What can he do? Hum. I knew it. These people have never regarded me as a child. ha-ha. Good. Good. Do they really think I dare not kill? "After all, it was the son of heaven, the descendant of the great ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang. Although Tianqi was young at this time, his face was still childish, but even Wei Zhongxian was scared to death.

After pondering for a moment, Wei Zhongxian quickly kowtowed and said: "emperor, according to your servant's opinion, this is already the case in Liao Dynasty. Although Lord Xie is an old minister, he may not be able to reverse the dangerous situation in Liao. He didn't mean to give up, but he was afraid that he might miss the emperor's great event and the foundation of Daming. "

Wei Zhongxian is in his early 50s this year. He is tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. It can be seen that when he was young, he was definitely a beautiful man who was far beyond ordinary people.

Otherwise, it is impossible to easily hook up with the arrogant Hakka.

At this time, although he was old and bent, Wei Zhongxian had a calm temperament.

At this time, the picture is like a child, playing coquetry on his elders.

The little emperor looked at Wei Zhongxian and was stunned slightly.

Young as he is, he is by no means stupid.

In a word, the fate of Tianqi little emperor was extremely sad. When he was young, his mother died early, because his father Guangzong was not treated by his grandfather Wanli and was ignored by him. He was bullied by his stepmother, Li Xuanshi. He grew up alone in the deep palace, lonely and lonely.

Finally, before his grandfather Wanli died, he was identified as the emperor's grandson. However, his father died 29 days after his father's death, and he became a "toy" for his ministers.

At this time, he finally ascended the throne and was in power. However, the whole Ming Dynasty was not as prosperous as it used to be. Jurchen in Eastern Liaoning, Mongolia in the northern line, and luxury families in the southwest were all ready to move. The ministers formed parties for personal gain, corrupt and degenerated, and changed their ways to play tricks in front of him. The most important thing was that even the God liked to make fun of him.

His sight can only be limited between the red brick and the green tile.

"Companion, according to what you say, the Jiejing state should not only be punished, but also rewarded?" The Emperor gave Wei Zhongxian a cold look.

Wei Zhongxian finally breathed a sigh of relief after listening to the tone of the emperor.

After all, the Apocalypse is young and mellow. As long as his biggest anger disappears, the rest of the things will be much simpler.

This is also Wei Zhongxian's shrewdness. He first reported his worries, drew the emperor to his side, and then used his means to gradually control the emperor's mood.

"Emperor, Xie Jingbang is certainly guilty. If you eat your salary, you should share your worries. When jiejingbang refuses the will of the son of heaven, he will be punished severely. But for now, we should think of a way to solve the problems in the Liao area. That's the main reason

Tianqi little emperor slowly vomited out a mouthful of turbid gas. He understood that what Wei Zhongxian said was the most important problem.

"Mate, in your opinion, what should we do about this? Are these Tartars really so brave? Aren't they human beings, monsters with three heads and six arms? "

Looking at the child like apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian's old face showed a soft smile and explained carefully: "emperor, Tartars are certainly not monsters. They are just as human as we are. However, they have been living between the mountains and the black waters. They have been with wild animals all the year round. Because of the environment, they are much braver than our soldiers in Daming. But they are not invincible. In those days, when Qi Shuai and Li Shuai were there, didn't they honestly guard the border for Daming? "

Listening to Wei Zhongxian talking about Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang, the eyes of the little emperor Tianqi also showed a trace of yearning.

If these two officials were there, why should he worry about the depression of his country? How dare you step on your nose?

"Mate, I see what you mean. I, Daming, need people like Qi Shuai and Li Shuai to guard the Liao area. In order to suppress these abominable slaves. "

Wei Zhongxian nodded happily, "emperor, it's just like this. Unfortunately, I, Daming, don't have such a person now. "

With that, Wei Zhongxian was also a little sad.

In his whole life, he had been through a lot of hardships. When he was young, he was poor. He had to cut off the root of right and wrong and became a eunuch in the palace.

But he thinks highly of himself and has rich experience. When he ascends this position, he also wants to help the little emperor of Tianqi do something for himself.

After a pause, Wei Zhongxian said: "emperor, the affairs of Liao are extremely complicated. Old slaves have been on the rise for a long time. Now it is not so easy to exterminate them. We must work on this matter slowly, and we must not rush it. Although Wang Huazhen, former governor of Liaodong, was guilty, Xiong Tingbi was even more guilty. When Guangning besieged the city, Wang Huazhen had sent for help to Xiong Tingbi. However, Xiong Tingbi had tens of thousands of troops, but he didn't mean to half distribute troops. Later, Guangning city broke down, and Wang Huazhen and Xiong Tingbi met in Daling River. At that time, the two sides together had tens of thousands of troops. Wang Huazhen proposed a counter attack on Guangning, but Xiong Tingbi not only ridiculed Wang Huazhen, but also turned around and left. As a result, the war in Guangning can no longer be dealt with. "

The emperor nodded slowly.

Of course, he knew that Wang Huazhen was a member of Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party. Wei Zhongxian naturally wanted to excuse Wang Huazhen. Although Xiong Tingbi was a trusted Minister of his grandfather Wanli, Xiong Tingbi was narrow-minded and could not tolerate people. Xiong Tingbi should bear most of the responsibility for the Guangning war.

That's very understandable.Xiong Tingbi has been stamped with the seal of "knowing soldiers" many years ago. However, in the Guangning war, even though he had conflicts with Wang Huazhen and Wang Huazhen made major mistakes in his strategy, he failed to save him. He watched Wang Huazhen make mistakes, which led to the loss of Liaoxi, the destruction of 130000 troops and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Liao people.

Wang Huazhen is because he has problems in his own ability, but Xiong Tingbi has personal reasons.

In this way, it is clear who is more harmful.

"In your opinion, mate, what should I do now?" Emperor Tianqi left the topic to Wei Zhongxian again.

Wei Zhongxian was just about to open his mouth, but outside came the guard's exclamation, "report, Liaohai eight hundred Li urgent report. Great victory, great victory. "
