But no one knows what will happen next, let alone when the next time the ammunition will be replenished.In order to ensure that the number of bullets is sufficient, Captain Luo Po suggested that unless it is absolutely necessary, it is better to use cold weapons as much as possible first. This may be the weakness of Leng Feng.
Without air transportation, and even ground transportation is extremely difficult, ammunition becomes a big problem.Even if Yang Chendong is there, Dacang can take it out at any time, but such a thing cannot be done casually unless it is absolutely necessary. Not every time you can find a good reason to go through it, let alone Yang Chendong only has one However, there are more than one Leng Feng team now.
Under Luo Po's proposal, political commissar Kong Jie agreed with both hands, and Leng Feng began to get busy.The first is to dig landmines. In order to prevent being seen and discovered by others, the method of night operation is adopted.At the same time, apart from the four companies of the first battalion where Leng Feng Wusheng is still using advanced firearms, the other two battalions, eight companies and a total of [-] Leng Feng also took out sharp bayonets and prepared cold weapons. Prepare for hand-to-hand combat.
According to Chen Bo, the commander of the second battalion, and Kong Quanxin, the commander of the third battalion, they wanted to show the auxiliary soldiers and temporary auxiliary soldiers that even under cold weapons, Leng Feng's strength was invincible.
Nanjing Prefecture, the capital of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
Kuang Ye's [-]-mile journey came all the way in a hurry, and finally he was placed under Yingzong Zhu Qizhen's dragon case.
When he saw what Kuang Ye said that the 8 men under Miao Jinlong of the Miao Army had already started to go south, captured Lianzhou Mansion and then directed their troops at Gaozhou Mansion, Zhu Qizhen finally couldn't calm down anymore.
According to his thoughts, and the analysis of some ministers in the DPRK and China.The Min Wang family had just won most of Yunnan, Guangxi and Guangdong, and it was time to stop and digest.At least in a short period of time, there should be some military action.But now it seems that they underestimated each other's appetite and underestimated the ambitions of these people.
Above the court hall, all the officials heard the news, and each of them looked a little flustered.Especially Chen Ruyan, the newly appointed left servant of the Ministry of War, is even more nervous and sweating profusely.
Kuang Ye was not in the court, and Wang Ji, the former servant of the left, had been taken down for questioning because he miscalculated the situation. It was only because he was still in the Xiping Palace in Yunnan, and because all the rebels from King Min's lineage were on the way back. He was not immediately taken back to Kyoto for questioning.After the loss of two important figures, Chen Ruyan was promoted to the position of Zuo Shilang, and also in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War.
Normally, Chen Ruyan would be overjoyed if he got such a position.But now, under such a critical situation, taking over the affairs of the Ministry of War is tantamount to taking over a mess. How can he not be troubled and have a headache?
Fortunately, Chen Ruyan did have some skills.In fact, in history, he also served as Minister of the Ministry of War. Even if the situation is more critical, he has formulated some good countermeasures with his own ability.
For example, the entire Southern Ming Dynasty started conscription, but any man with a family of 16 to 40 years old can sign up for the army.The requirement is that each family must submit one. If there are many and are willing to serve as soldiers, one quota can cover the tax of the family for a year. Once the world is peaceful, these people can also be re-acquired without being registered as military household registration. Freedom to choose whether to farm or do business.
Chapter 432 Liu De's devious strategy
The policy given by Chen Ruyan was very good, which also attracted a wave of large numbers of people enlisting in the army.Statistics show that the number of newly recruited soldiers in the land of Nanming has reached 100 million.This is still because the Ministry of Households is under too much financial pressure. Otherwise, it would not be difficult to double this figure.
This is the benefit brought by a strong background. It has to be said that Daming is still very strong. If Yang Chendong did not appear, it would be like in history, and there would be no major problems in continuing for hundreds of years.
Yingzong Zhu Qizhen saw what the Ministry of War did, and he really praised him twice.Now we just need to wait for these recruits to complete their training before they can enter the battlefield. With so many fresh troops, the rebels who swept King Min would be at ease.
But at this time, the Min Wang family, which was estimated to be standing still, started to move.If it can't be effectively suppressed, it won't take long, and after getting the sweetness, they will make progress. The other rebels will follow suit. I'm afraid that before the training of recruits is completed, the King Min's family will kill them in Nanjing. Before now, Nanming's regime may face the danger of ending.
With the danger of subjugation, Zhu Qizhen is not in a hurry.With a trace of blood red in his eyes, he looked at Chaozhong Zhongzhong, "My love, is there any way to control the situation? It doesn't take too long, it can last for a year, no! Just nine months."
Zhu Qizhen asked anxiously, but the answer was Man Chao's speechless.These ordinary things can make some sense, even fallacies. When faced with military affairs, the ministers are now very good at explaining what it means to be a scholar who meets a soldier.
In the face of the Min Wang family who are completely unreasonable to you, it seems that any method is useless.Just like two days ago, Liu De, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, made a proposal, that is to negotiate peace with King Min first.Of course, this kind of peace negotiation is fake, and the delay in stabilizing the situation is real.
Although Zhu Qizhen was somewhat displeased with this policy, considering that he could maintain the situation and gain more preparation time, he gritted his teeth and agreed.But who would have thought that when Liu De vowed to arrange someone to do this matter, before the envoys he sent came to King Min, the other side would firmly reject him.
Under such a good situation, with the cooperation of Jiaozhi and Miao Jun, seeing that Nanming is weak, only a fool would agree to sit down and negotiate with you at this time.
The standard of negotiation is that everyone is equal in strength, and no one can do anything to the other, so there may be such an approach.When one party is extremely powerful, it is difficult to negotiate.
It was precisely because the method had already been tried and it didn't work, at this time all the officials were silent, as if they couldn't think of a way.
In fact, it is not impossible to say that there is no way, at least there are two feasible paths before Zhu Qizhen.
First, take the initiative to profess a vassal to Beiming, and then cede the land of several provinces under a peaceful situation, so that you can get the help of Zhu Qiyu, the emperor of the Northern Ming Dynasty.Then you can borrow troops to eliminate the King Min family.
Second, agree to Kuang Ye's condition for giving Yang Chendong the throne.In this way, as long as the mercenaries are willing to work hard, even if they can't quell King Min's rebellion immediately, they can buy enough time. After the training of recruits is completed, the world of Nanming will be peaceful.
It's just that Zhu Qizhen absolutely didn't want to choose the first of these two roads.The fact that his cousin took advantage of others' danger to get the throne already made him very upset. If it wasn't for Yang Shan's sudden disobedience and disappearance, he would never admit the fact that he is the emperor of Beiming.If he bowed his head now, wouldn't it prove that he was inferior to the other party?If this is the case, people who don't know will think that the other party is orthodox, which is definitely not what Zhu Qizhen wants to see.
Even now, he still has the idea of killing Nanming and unifying Daming. Wouldn't this be self-determined goals and hopes?
As for the second point, it was not what Zhu Qizhen wanted to do to give Yang Chendong the title of king with a different surname.
Yang Chendong is really too good, so good that Zhu Qizhen is already very afraid.If taking the first path is the goal after suicide, then choosing the second path is likely to be suicide.
Yang Chendong is only 21 years old, and now he is crowned king with a different surname. If he still uses the other party in the future, how will he be rewarded? Is it impossible to give up the throne?Besides, once the king of a different surname is sealed, it will easily lead to a situation that cannot be lost. I am afraid that if he wants to solve it in the future, he does not know how much he will have to pay.
As for what Jin Yiwei said about Yang Chendong's poor health and poisoning, Zhu Qizhen didn't dare to believe it all.In fact, Yang Chendong gave him too much surprise, and it is reasonable for him not to fully believe it.
This is the matter of calling a group of ministers, and I want to see if any hero can come up with a better way.But now Zhu Qizhen was a little disappointed, "Incompetent, incompetent." Cursing in his heart, it was time for Zhu Qizhen to make a decision, and in the end his heart still favored the first Two options. "Forget it, when we retire from the court, the six ministers and the capital censor will stay in the side hall for discussion."
Zhu Qizhen called several important ministers to the side hall, naturally there was only one thing, and that was to discuss the matter of making Yang Chen the king.
Since everyone can't think of any better way, then we can only consider this matter.Fortunately, the former Mu Bin named a king with a different surname. This is not the first time he has done such a thing.Or it is not the first time to lose face, so why not come again?
Those who can become important ministers must be quick-witted and good at observing words and emotions, otherwise, they may not be able to keep their seats.When Zhu Qizhen summoned them, they all guessed the emperor's intentions, so once they entered the side hall, they all lowered their heads and did not speak. Obviously, no one wanted to mention this matter first, so as not to tarnish their reputation.
"Cough." Zhu Qizhen, who was sitting on the golden dragon chair, looked a little ugly. Seeing that everyone was silent, he coughed lightly, trying to attract everyone's attention.
But in the eyes of several ministers who have experienced countless turmoil, this set is of no use at all. Those standing below, including Chen Ruyan, the left servant of the military department representing Kuang Ye, also bowed their heads in silence.There seemed to be some beautiful scenery under his feet, which made him unable to move his eyes and raise his eyes.
Seeing everyone's performance, Zhu Qizhen looked unhappy.Although he also knew who to ask to talk about this matter, he was afraid that the history books would despise this person in the future, but things must be done by someone. Could it be possible that he himself, the emperor, would talk about it in person?Do you still feel that what you have done in the history books is not shameful enough?
The emperor is the emperor, since the courtiers don't take the initiative to say, he will name them one by one.
Thinking to myself, this is what you forced me to do, Zhu Qizhen spoke up, and the first thing he said was Chen Xun, the Minister of History. "Chen Aiqing, as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, she should have a reputation for knowing people. Is there any way to solve the current situation?"
Since ancient times, there has been a saying in the Ministry of Officials that you can see officials at the top level.As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials who is in charge of the promotion, assessment and recommendation of officials across the country, he is described by others as a heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials. Often, as long as the qualifications are sufficient, he will also be the head of the ministers.Just click on Chen Xun's name when you come up, it doesn't mean to pick up the soft persimmons at all, it really wants to force everyone to express their opinions.
In particular, the name of a knowledgeable person made Chen Xun unable to refuse. This is also the suffering of Chen Dashangshu who stood there.
Although Zhu Qizhen's words were gentle, but thinking carefully about the meaning of the other party's words, as long as he was not a fool, he could feel a sense of threat.Maybe it's that Zhu Qizhen is giving the courtier a choice, or else you can say what he wants to say, and you can only admit it with some infamy.Otherwise, you will carry it hard and prepare to lose your job.
One is fame, and the other is profit. You always have to choose the same thing. You can’t take all the benefits.
Chen Xun's face was very ugly, and he was having a complicated struggle in his heart, thinking about what to do?How to say?What kind of gains and losses will there be.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Just as Chen Xun was thinking about how to answer the Emperor's words, Liu De, Minister of Rites standing below, finally spoke out, and took a step forward holding the wat board.
Originally, they were going to get angry, and they wanted to beat Chen Xun hard, and they might even find a reason to dismiss him, but Liu De suddenly stood up, which made Zhu Qizhen's face happy.Thinking that there are still loyal ministers and generals by his side, he tried his best to look more attractive and asked, "Liu Aiqing, do you have anything to say?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu De nodded and put down his arched hands, and then said calmly, "Your Majesty, the situation in the Southwest is now in chaos, and it is about to spread, and it will take time for our army to train. The so-called distant water can't quench the near thirst, in my opinion, it is better to confer the title of a king with a different surname, let him lead the army to fight, so as to protect our great Ming Dynasty forever."
Liu De stood up, and not only that, but also took the initiative to talk about the matter of becoming king, which made Zhu Qizhen very happy, "Liu Aiqing's words are very close to my heart."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Liu De received the compliment, he quickly showed a humble look, and then continued, "It's just that being a king is a big deal after all. In my opinion, you must not be rash, especially if you want to be a king. The most important one is Duke Zhongdan. He used to work for the Northern Ming dynasty, and now his family members are also there. Such a big matter must be discussed with them first, otherwise, I am afraid that it will not be recognized by everyone in the world. , it is easier for trouble to arise.”
"En." Hearing Liu De's sudden new question, Zhu Qizhen nodded thoughtfully and said, "What Liu Aiqing said is very reasonable, so how should we explain it according to Aiqing's words?"
"Your Majesty, you should first discuss this matter with the Daizong. As long as the two parties agree, the enfeoffment of the king with a different surname can be carried out, so that people in the world will not talk about it. Therefore, I am willing to ask the emperor to give the Ministry of Rites a little time. Immediately ask someone to do it. As for Lord Zhongdan, you can first inform him to lead the troops to retreat from the enemy. After he solves the rebellion, the matter of being crowned king must be discussed properly. "
Chapter 433 Miao Jinlong's Heartbeat
It seemed that he had already thought about the next countermeasures. During the conversation, Liu De came as soon as he opened his mouth, and it was a matter of course.
"That's the reason." Being surrounded by Liu De, Zhu Qizhen nodded.But then some questions came up, and he couldn't help but say, "In this case, is Mr. Zhongdan willing? And how confident is Aiqing in persuading Beiming?"
From Zhu Qizhen's point of view, he can't really be crowned king, what if Yang Chendong refuses?In addition, such a major event as the conferring of a different surname to the king cannot be done under the critical situation in Nanming. Under the situation that Beiming has no loss, are they willing to admit this matter?At least if it's me, I'm afraid I won't agree.Just like the matter about Yang Chendong being the Duke of Zhongdan, it is a clear proof that some people still call him the Duke of Zhongdan among the courtiers of Beiming.
Now that Liu De stood up and put forward such a suggestion, it is natural that these issues have been thought about long ago.Hearing Zhu Qizhen's question now, he immediately smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Now that the Emperor has already granted the title, if Duke Zhongdan is dissatisfied, once it spreads all over the world, I am afraid that everyone will Rise up and criticize, spit stars will sometimes drown people, presumably this truth should be very clear to you. As for whether Beiming will agree, hehe, Your Majesty, that is not a question we need to consider, if If they don't agree, then you can talk to Zhongdan Gong and let him handle it, if the emperor is wise."
