Chapter 1298 Distant News, a Casual Encounter

"Killed a hundred household officials?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, he drew his sword and killed him on the spot."

Sun Xiang repeated the scene at that time, and Zhu Di said disdainfully: "People who are greedy for life and afraid of death will only fan the flames. I have killed many people of this type before, and they did a good job!"

Immediately Zhu Di summoned Fang Xing for questioning.

"Xuanwuwei has no morale, your method is good, but it's a bit violent."

Fang Xing felt helpless: Boss, didn't you force me to do this?

"Your Majesty, the army's morale is initially determined, and then the instructor needs to go down to encourage and enlighten, and then there needs to be a war, a victory to lay the foundation for a strong army."

"When will the recruits of Jubao Mountain Guard become an army?"

Fang Xing introduced his own plan: "Your Majesty, I want to break up the original two thousand households and mix them in, and use the old to lead the new, so that the formation of the army will be faster, and with the leadership of those veterans, even if you encounter Not afraid of strong enemies."

This is almost one belt one, Zhu Di nodded in agreement and said: "It's a good idea, I agree."

In the guards of the Ming Dynasty, every soldier has a roster of affiliations, and you can't move them randomly if you want to.

"Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei is awake, please see Your Majesty."

"Let him in."

Soon, a man was helped into the hall.

"Chen Jinyiwei Xiaoqi Majiang has seen His Majesty."

Zhu Di said, "Get up and talk."

After the man got up, he began to introduce the situation in the north, "Your Majesty, the Oirats are unified, and Tuohuan is constantly suppressing the surroundings. The power is expanding rapidly, and some rangers even ran to Atai to spy."

"Later, our people sneaked into the caravan and went to the country of Halle, and found a mission from the Oirats. It is said that they are very popular with the country of Halle."

"How is Harley's military equipment?"

"Very powerful!" Ma Jiang said, "They have heavy cavalry. Our people have seen them parade. There should be tens of thousands of heavy cavalry."

At this time, the heavy cavalry is a nuclear weapon.

Well-trained heavy cavalry can easily determine the victory or defeat of a battle.

"Heavy ride?"

Zhu Di's complexion began to become dignified, and Daming also had a heavy cavalry, which was full of impact.

"They should be able to pull up hundreds of thousands of troops, but unless it is a blow to the country, it is unlikely."

Ma Jiang felt that this was Daming's formidable enemy, and if they joined forces with the Wala people, it would be the biggest crisis since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

"How's the folk style?"

Zhu Di thought of the three guards, 30,000 musketeers, plus artillery.

Ma Jiang looked fearful and said, "Your Majesty, those people are all powerful, aggressive, and like to wrestle."

If the folk customs are strong, then the soldiers must be abundant.

"This is a strong enemy! Good!"

Zhu Di said: "You have worked hard this trip, rest for a few days before going back."

After Ma Jiang left, Zhu Di said: "This country is currently resting and recuperating, and the lobbying of being happy is just a temptation. I think this country will definitely agree."

Fang Xing nodded and said: "Your Majesty, in all dynasties, the Central Plains has been regarded as a world of flowers and flowers by foreigners, and they are coveted."

"Fancy world! Hey!"

Zhu Di said disdainfully: "Then I will wait for him to go on an expedition to the world. I want to see how hard their teeth are!"

Fang Xing resigned, and when he went out, he saw a eunuch with bright eyes happily taking a roll of precious money from the hand of the chief eunuch, which should be a lot of money.

Is the eunuch crazy?

The eunuch turned around and saw Fang Xing's expression, he couldn't help shaking his head and said: "This person discovered the fire at the beginning of the year, called for rescue in time, and saved the three halls, His Majesty ordered him to be rewarded."

Three halls?

Fang Xing suddenly remembered the fire in the three main halls, so he hurried back to look for Zhu Di again.

The chief eunuch patted the eunuch's shoulder and said, "Wang Zhen, do it well!"

The eunuch smiled and said: "Eunuch, the slaves and maids just dropped by that day, and they are not worthy of great merit. You have served Your Majesty for many years, and your Majesty's spirit of dragon and tiger must be at least half of your credit!"

The eunuch immediately remembered his many years of experience, and couldn't help but sigh.

When he woke up, he saw the concern on Wang Zhen's face, and sighed: "You have made great achievements just after entering the palace, and your future will be limitless, work hard!"

Wang Zhen scratched his head and said: "Elder-in-law is absurdly praised, this slave girl is a mistake, I just hope that I can live a peaceful life in the palace."

"Um."

The eunuch thinks this can be done.

Fang Xing begged to see him again, and said as soon as he entered: "Your Majesty, the three halls are too tall. Once struck by lightning, the same mistakes will happen again."

Zhu Di was stunned when he heard that, because the fire in April was caused by lightning strikes. If someone hadn't discovered it early, he would probably have to sit on wax at this moment.

"Then what is your solution?"

"lightning rod!"

Fang Xing said: "There are verandahs connecting the three halls. Once a fire breaks out in one hall, it is difficult to avoid the other two halls. Please cut off the physical connection between the three halls, uh! Just separate them, and it is best to build them in the middle." wall."

Zhu Di frowned and said, "What is a lightning rod?"

"It's an iron rod."

Fang Xing said: "Use iron rods around the roof to guide the lightning, and the iron rods are buried in the ground along the sides."

"Can this cause thunder?"

Zhu Di remembered Fang Xing's incident of causing thunder on Jubao Mountain, and couldn't help but think carefully.

But Fang Xing didn't have much confidence, because it seemed that the Three Great Halls had caught fire in later generations, and this was only when there was a lightning rod.

"Uh! Your Majesty, it is definitely possible to induce lightning, but I suggest that it is best to keep water tankers in the three main halls. The eunuchs in charge of the three main halls must learn how to put out fires. Anyway, in a word, the three main halls cannot be burned. OK……"

Zhu Di snorted coldly: "Those civil servants are waiting for disasters from heaven, and then they will quote the scriptures and say how stupid and violent I am."

It's better now, the previous emperor was really unlucky, once there was an earthquake in a certain place, or a landslide, or a strange celestial phenomenon... the emperor, you should hurry up and condemn yourself.

You have offended God, hurry up and apologize! Otherwise, you will ignore the people's livelihood and the world, and you will be a fool!

Zhu Di immediately ordered people to do it, and then said: "Did those businessmen restrain themselves last time?"

Fang Xing said: "Your Majesty, they donated more than 100,000 yuan to the Ministry of Households afterwards, but I think these rich merchants have to beat them all the time."

Zhu Di said coldly: "What are you beating? Have you learned the art of war for nothing?"

...

Among the three guards, Jubaoshan Guard and Xuanwu Guard were practicing, while Suzaku Guard was very relaxed, and the entire Xuanwu Guard was filled with an atmosphere of pride.

Song Jianran's recent days are very nourishing. He watched the drill, nodded in satisfaction and said: "Xuanwu Guard is muddy, there is a lot of trouble, Jubao Mountain Guard's recruits account for more than half, even if they practice well, their strength will decline, okay! According to the rules, those who should take a vacation should take a vacation."

"Thank you, my lord!"

Several officials from thousands of households all agreed with a smile, and it was Xin Zhi's turn to rest today, and he said proudly, "I will have a big drink when I go home today!"

Xin Zhi's home is near the barracks, surrounded by military relatives, it is very lively.

Recently, because of Zhu Di's illness and many things that happened later, Xuanwu Wei has not been allowed to take a vacation for a long time, so Xin Zhi is eager to go home... Ugh! The widow's disease!

It's the end of the year, and those who should rest have also rested. This street, which is prosperous because of the military family, is full of pedestrians.

A carriage suddenly picked up speed, the driver seemed a little at a loss, and the passers-by screamed and hid on both sides.

Seeing the carriage rushing towards him, Xin Zhi couldn't help shouting, "Stop!"

The carriage galloped all the way, forcing Xin Zhi to hide on the side.

At this moment, the coachman finally reined in the horse.

After a long hiss, the carriage suddenly stopped beside Xin Zhi, and under the action of inertia, the carriage almost overturned.

Xin Zhi was about to scold the coachman, but suddenly a woman slipped out of the car, he couldn't see clearly in a hurry, Xin Zhi habitually jumped off the horse, and stretched out his arms to hug the woman.

The woman exclaimed, and raised her head in Xin Zhi's arms...

ah! The face is like the autumn moon, the eyes are like water waves, the lotus face, the cherry mouth...

Xin Zhi couldn't help being startled, a middle-aged man got out of the car and shouted, "How is San Niang?"

As soon as the woman's face turned red, she struggled vigorously.

Xin Zhi put the woman down in embarrassment, and the man came over to thank him and said, "I'm Cui Wu, thank you for saving me, my lord."

Xin Zhi was still thinking about the touch of his hands and the fragrance of his nose just now, and he said casually: "I used to capture the enemy immediately back then, this trivial matter is nothing to worry about."

The man said happily: "Your Excellency is still a fierce general! It's a pleasure to meet you. Your Excellency saved the little girl, and I am very grateful. If you don't give up, please honor your face and have a light meal."

Xin Zhi refused several times, and then followed suit. ..
