Chapter 2572: News About the Enemy
Your Majesty is missing a great eunuch.
Will His Majesty select eunuchs or choose from those experienced eunuchs?
Jin Ying continued to manage the huge workshop in Tongzhou, and someone came to inform him of the news.
"Father, Yu Jia is finished."
The person who came to report the news was the eunuch's nephew and adopted son.
This is for sale.
Jin Ying stood outside the workshop, frowning and asked: "How many favors have you sold for this news?"
The visitor said in embarrassment: "Father, this matter... My father feels that you have worked very hard in Tongzhou these past few years, and your achievements are unparalleled, so you are here."
This is a lie!
There were many eunuchs stationed abroad, many of whom were trusted by the emperor. For example, Jin Ying. These people may be recalled to the palace at any time, gaining power but losing their freedom.
But freedom is nothing to those ambitious eunuchs.
Therefore, there were many eunuchs who were eager to return to the palace and take up important positions. The father and son thought they could sell a lot of favors.
But Jin Ying's attitude was very firm. He said: "Thank you for taking a trip and come back."
This clearly means he doesn’t care!
The visitor was sent out in embarrassment and went all the way back to report.
Jin Ying returned to the workshop, smelling the smell of coal smoke and hearing various sounds of banging metal, and said intoxicatedly: "This is the life our family wants!"
"There is a car, get out of the way!"
The bell rang, and a heavily loaded carriage came slowly. When the driver saw someone in front of him, he shouted out of habit.
Jin Ying retreated to the side, and the coachman didn't panic when he saw it was him. He cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, father-in-law."
Jin Ying smiled and said: "It's important to do things."
His smile was bright, his feet were strong, and he walked away lightly among the densely packed railway tracks.
…
Jin Yiwei has been very busy recently, mainly busy collecting various news from the north.
"The news about Samarkand is worth thousands of gold. It makes our people work hard and sacrifice three times the pension for the country!"
Shen Yang was a little angry, and there was a blister on the corner of his mouth, which was burning and painful.
"I don't want human lives, I want news. As long as I get the news... a son of Yin Meng, who died for his country, will enter the Jinyi Guards. Let them rest assured that I will keep my word even if I die on my knees outside the palace."
After he hurriedly arranged things, it was time for the office.
On the way home, he bought snacks that his son liked to eat. When he got home, he saw his son sitting on the threshold looking around. He jumped off the horse and picked up the oil paper bag with a smile.
"father!"
Shen Yang laughed and picked up his son, then went inside.
"I'm back, let's eat later."
Because he was the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Shen Yang was too cautious to even hire servants at home, so Yan Hui did the cooking.
Shen Yang walked into the kitchen with his son in his arms. When he saw Yan Hui wearing a scarf and cooking vegetables quickly, he sniffed and said, "I'm hungry."
There is no better way to express your gratitude than this kind of compliment.
Yan smiled back and said, "I'll be ready soon."
"grown ups!"
At this time, someone knocked on the door and shouted.
Shen Yang's expression did not change. Yan Hui shoveled up the ribs in the pot, poured water into the pot, took it from his son, and said, "Go ahead."
Shen Yang didn't think there was anything big happening recently that was worthy of alarming him who had already returned home, so he was a little confused.
"Sir, someone is coming to Samarkand."
"Walk!"
Shen Yang turned around and shouted: "Yan Hui, I'm not at home to eat. I have something to do."
"knew."
After leaving the house, all the tenderness disappeared, and that face was completely cold.
He rushed all the way outside the palace. At this moment, Cao Fei was actually guarding the palace gate. When he saw him coming, he said: "Your Majesty has an order. You are here, hurry in."
A eunuch accompanied him inside.
The eunuchs and maids were all in a hurry. They didn't know if they were rushing to have lunch or something, but it made Shen Yang feel a little nervous.
The main hall of Qianqing Palace has been opened, which means that many important ministers will come.
This was an unexpected meeting.
A plainclothes man was standing downstairs talking.
Shen Yang saluted after entering. Zhu Zhanji, who was also in plain clothes above, just waved his hand and motioned for the man to continue.
"Your Majesty, the entire Samarkand has become a military city. At least 40,000 to 50,000 people have been sent to Lucha. Adding in the strength of Harel, I can guarantee that they can send at least 100,000 troops, and they are all elite."
"Elite?"
Zhu Zhanji raised his head slightly, and Fang Xing and Yi Qian Wuxun appeared outside the door.
Warriors are always faster than civil servants because their horsemanship is better and because they have a more vicious reputation, so when they see them, the people will get out of the way.
After everyone saluted, Zhu Zhanji said: "Wait a moment, so as not to have to say it again."
That man was Jin Yiwei's lurking in Samarkand. Zhu Zhanji pointed at him and someone brought him cold water and snacks.
He was probably very hungry, so he started eating and drinking regardless of his image, and he didn't put it down embarrassedly until he burped.
Zhu Zhanji looked relaxed and even smiled.
"This is also a warrior."
He gave a very high evaluation, which made the man very excited, and said: "Your Majesty, when I first saw our people rescuing the captured brothers, I kept silent."
This is an essential quality for a spy.
Zhu Zhanji nodded slightly to Shenyang to express his appreciation for him.
Later, the assistant political bachelor and the six ministers arrived, and Zhu Zhanji motioned to the Jin Yiwei to say it again.
"...At least 100,000 elites, and food and grass are constantly shipped in. They come from the direction of meat lovers..."
"The leader of the meat fan seems to be an important person. He is often seen going to the palace to see Miergan. He looks very relaxed, without any panic or tension."
This is a spy with excellent observation skills.
"What weapons do they have?"
The questioner is Meng Ying, and this is also the question that the warriors want to know most.
The man panted and said, "They have swords and guns, as well as twenty or thirty cannons and hundreds of big guns."
"Cannon?"
Fang Xing immediately remembered the "cannon" that the Ha Lie people sacrificed in the last war, and asked, "How big is it?"
The man thought about it, then stretched out his hand to gesture.
"It's smaller than last time. Their gunpowder has improved."
Fang Xing, who is the most authoritative in firearms, said this, and everyone looked solemn.
"Where are the big guns?"
The man said, "The big guns...are at least twice as big as our fire guns. One person has to carry them. It looks a bit strenuous!"
Fang Xing smiled and said, "They learned to make fire guns from our muskets, but the gunpowder is not good, and the materials are not up to standard, so they are much larger. Unless many warriors are summoned, one person cannot operate them. As for the artillery, do they think that the range of our artillery has been stagnant?"
Fang Xing was cheering everyone up!
And the one who had the best tacit understanding with him was Zhu Zhanji.
Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "The artillery of the Ming Dynasty is much more powerful than the last war, and the fire guns have all been replaced, lighter and farther. If they think that the Ming Dynasty is still the same, then I hope to see those surprises and frustrations when the war starts."
Fang Xing smiled and said, "Of course."
The monarch and his ministers cooperated tacitly to relax everyone's emotions, and then Fang Xing asked about the movements of the coalition forces.
"They are preparing to set off. Many troops have begun to distribute dry food, and those drills have stopped..."
This is the signal to send troops.
Fang Xing praised, "You are very good."
Zhu Zhanji nodded, "Record the merit immediately and reward later."
The man was overjoyed and knelt down to thank him.
Du Qian suddenly asked, "Did you come out alone?"
The man's face changed, and he said sadly, "Three brothers have already... died for their country to lead the enemy away for me."
Du Qian asked curiously, "Then you are alone, are you scared along the way?"
The man raised his head and said, "I am not afraid!"
"Why?"
Du Qian wanted to understand the thoughts of the warrior, so he continued to ask rashly.
The man sniffed, tears welled up in his eyes, and said, "Those brothers have gone. If I don't bring back the news, I will be a beast! I will die with my eyes open. As for fear, I..."
He smiled and said, "After entering the Martyrs' Shrine, there will be incense offerings. Don't worry about your soul not being able to return home. I am not afraid."
Du Qian stood in awe and bowed his hands, saying, "It is this official Meng Lang."
