I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 280 Go to his temple!
After coming out of the 'Daming Royal Bank', the idiot Emperor Zhu Youjian's face was always gloomy, his brows were tightly frowned, and he looked unhappy, which made Miss Hongliu very worried.

"Young master, if you have any troubles, you might as well say it out, maybe it will make you feel better."

Miss Hongliu has been very busy recently, Liaodong, Liaoxi, Dongjiang Town, Jiangnan, Northwest Border, Southwest Border... Every major event happens, she has to find a way to organize it into a book, and after sorting it out, send it to Cao Gong, Mao Yuanyi, Cao Wenzhao and others.

She was in a bad mood, but now seeing Zhu Youjian's appearance, it was useless for her to get angry in a hurry, so she could only hug his arm gently and whisper to comfort him.

"Wei Zhongxian asked all the [-] eunuchs under his command to withdraw to the capital, and they are currently training new firearms."

"Cao Wenzhao sticks to Kuwu Island, and he can almost close the door and beat dogs."

"Mr. Cao said, the world of Ming Dynasty is in chaos, but it's actually not a bad thing. After all, he is already terminally ill, so a strong man must have the determination to cut his wrists and scrape his bones to heal his wounds."

"By the way, Mao Yuanyi sent a telegram, saying that he has returned to Dong Zhiyuan. It is estimated that in a few days, the Northwest War will come to an end..."

……

Miss Hongliu chattered endlessly, and Zhu Youjian was upset for a while, and couldn't help cursing: "Mang Gurtai, why don't you attack Dongjiang Town?"

This nonsensical remark made Miss Hongliu look stunned, and asked, "Jiannu cavalry, why are you going to attack Dongjiang Town?"

Zhu Youjian sighed, and said: "It is my hope that Mang Gurtai's dog slave will take advantage of the opportunity of Wu Xiang, Zu Dashou and others' rebellion to attack Dongjiang Town, so that we have a chance to wipe them all out."

Miss Hongliu listened, quite disapproving.

The battles on the front lines of Liaodong, Liaoxi, Dongjiang Town and Shanhaiguan are intricate and complicated, and one incident affects the whole body, and if one fails, it may lead to catastrophe.

Cao Gong admired the strategy of Liaodong, but Miss Hongliu always felt that it was an insignificant "leisure move"...

"Hongliu, do you remember the first time we met?"

Suddenly, the idiot emperor looked sideways, carefully staring at Miss Hongliu's fair and pretty face, and sighed with some emotion: "I remember clearly, it was an early winter morning, you brought Qing'er and others to buy rouge, and you were caught The Second Young Master Li from the Shangshu Family of the Jinling Military Department threatened and lured him, so he was almost kidnapped and sent back to their home..."

Zhu Youjian suddenly talked about the past, and Miss Hongliu felt sour, and said in a low voice: "They beat Qing'er to death in the street, and the Governor of Shuntian didn't dare to interrogate her at all."

As she spoke, tears fell from her eyes.

Back then, she was the singer who had just combed her hair. She had no power, no influence, and no decent backer. She floated back and forth between Jinling and the capital, but she was worse than the duckweed in the water.

The letter king Zhu Youjian, who has always been low-key, suddenly appeared in her life.

"At that time, you looked so scary. You trampled the second young master of the Shangshu family of the Jinling Military Department into a useless person with one kick. You almost caused a catastrophe!" Miss Hongliu groaned coquettishly, with a shy expression on her face.

Zhu Youjian laughed loudly, and said, "He's getting impatient for robbing women from me."

After the two chatted and laughed for a while, the previous haze was swept away.

"Let's pass on the meal. I want to treat guests to dinner today." Zhu Youjian wanted to treat guests to dinner as soon as he was happy. This problem has not changed at all. Not only Hongliu girl knows, but everyone knows this as long as it is a prominent and respectable figure in the Ming Dynasty.

So, without waiting for his orders, Miss Hongliu had already settled down.

For a while, the boat was warm as spring, silk and bamboo fluttered to the ears, singing and dancing were peaceful, Wei Zhongxian, Qian Qianyi, Yang He and other civil and military ministers were also urgently called together, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

During the dinner, everyone had their own thoughts, but no one was willing to take the initiative to speak.

While drinking from a big bowl, Zhu Youjian toasted to people frequently like a gangster, but on the other hand, he just watched coldly, thinking about a few important things in his heart.

"The world is in such a mess, those big villains, why don't they jump out quickly..."

What he didn't know was that just as he was thinking this way, a big villain really jumped out...

……

On Taiwan's Pengbao Island, after a major purge of the officials appointed by the imperial court, with the help of Zheng Zhilong, Li Zicheng finally gained a firm foothold and became the most ruthless character on Taiwan's Pengbao Island.

Sitting on [-] strong soldiers, all new firearms, well-trained, the instructor is Sun Chuanting, who was personally selected for him by the idiot emperor.

For Sun Chuanting, this year's life opportunities can be regarded as very considerable.

He was first promoted from a small county magistrate, and then he became a third-rank official of the imperial court, guarding Yulin Town, and became the commander-in-chief of a party.

Immediately afterwards, before his ass warmed up, Mao Yuanyi hugged the grass and beat the rabbit, and he was 'tied' to Dong Zhiyuan and became a village chief.

After being brainwashed by Mao Yuanyi and his students, the village head changed again and became one of the most capable generals under Mao Yuanyi's command. After several battles, he captured more than [-] northern barbarian cavalry.

Just when he thought his hard days were finally coming to an end.

With a secret decree, he went overseas and became a coach...

……

"Li Zicheng, our recruit training is over, do we need to recruit another batch?"

On this day, Sun Chuanting came out of the barracks, galloped on horseback, and came straight to Li Zicheng's mansion of the city lord. As soon as he entered the door, he yelled: "What is the chaos in the world? Some people should stand up and fight a few battles!" , so as to serve the court and relieve His Majesty's worries.

Look at those governors, governors, and chief military officers, all of them are full of fat, are they waiting for our Ming Dynasty to perish? "

Seeing the "rebel assistants" sent by the emperor, Li Zicheng laughed loudly and said, "Okay, okay, let's recruit another batch, is [-] enough?"

"How can fifty thousand be enough!"

Sun Chuanting sighed, didn't bother to take a sip of tea, and said with a worried face: "Your Excellency the City Lord should also know that Liaodong is in chaos, Liaoxi generals are rebellious, and the war in the northwest is far away. The northwest king Zhu Yousong and the 80 royal blood are still alive." Rolling in blood.

Coupled with the chaos in Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang... [-] elite soldiers, can it be suppressed? "

Li Zicheng shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm a rough man, I haven't read any books, but I have heard Mr. Shu talk about ancient and modern things, but I also know something. There are not many soldiers, but the elite.

In this way, let's find a way to get another batch of new artillery?
I heard that the new artillery made by Daming Academy can knock down a city wall with one shot, tsk tsk, just thinking about it is enjoyable, hahaha. "

Sun Chuanting scolded with a smile: "It's not as mysterious as what you said. I have also seen the new type of artillery. The power is naturally great. Compared with the so-called Hongyi cannon, it is simply a world of difference, but it is also powerful. Twenty or thirty times, it is still a bit difficult to use it to attack the city."

"Let's find a way to get more new-style muskets." Sun Chuanting took out a roll of paper from his pocket and slowly unfolded it, which turned out to be a map of Taiwan, Pengbao Island.

"In a few important ports, it is enough to deploy an artillery array that can sink the red-haired boy and the black widow pirate ship. Our main way of fighting in the future will be guerrilla warfare."

"Guerrilla warfare?" Li Zicheng frowned and asked, "What is guerrilla warfare? When there is a war, there is a war. The two armies face each other. The side with strong weapons and high morale will definitely win the battle. How do you fight?"

Sun Chuanting smiled wryly, and began to explain Li Zicheng's confusion in detail, explaining to Li Zicheng some things about guerrilla warfare that he had learned from Mao Yuanyi in simple terms.

Li Zicheng's face was dark, he thought and thought, but after a while, he suddenly realized.

He slapped his thigh hard, and said with a laugh: "After all, it's my third brother. Just typing a few words when the enemy retreats, and when the enemy is tired, I can stand up to thousands of troops, hahaha."

He looked excited, the more he thought about it, the happier he became, and he said, "Unexpectedly, there is such a wonderful tactic in the art of war in the world, it really opened my eyes, Old Li."

Li Zicheng was born in a peasant family, and he has never read any books. Regarding the so-called military affairs, he is still at the stage of "Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty and Kong Ming of the Three Kingdoms". Big, can't read it at all.

However, for guerrilla warfare...

But you can understand it as soon as you hear it, learn it as soon as you learn it, and you can actually taste some of the subtleties.

"Then guerrilla warfare, wandering around the rivers and lakes, killing those pests that harm the common people, I like this method of warfare!" Li Zicheng was happy, and ordered someone to kill pigs and sheep, intending to treat Sun Chuanting well.

However, Sun Chuanting didn't give any face to him, he stuck his neck out and insisted that Li Zicheng must first order recruits to be recruited, and then he would sit down.

"In the capital, the emperor was fooled around by eunuchs and civil servants, and he was forced to evade him. He is almost becoming a puppet emperor. We have to find a way to break the situation as soon as possible," Sun Chuanting reminded more than once while drinking, lest Li Zicheng take advantage of the crisis, It would be a great disaster to be king and hegemony in overseas places.

Li Zicheng was secretly amused: "This Sun Chuanting, my old Li just didn't say it clearly, I'm so anxious to death you old boy!" '

A few days ago, he had received a secret order from the "third brother", ordering him to find a way to build Taiwan Pengbao Island into a city of steel, so that it must not fall into the hands of the Spanish red-haired men and black widow pirates.

At the same time, it cannot become the fat in the mouths of wealthy families in Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Li Zicheng understands this truth.

Isn't it just to let him stabilize the situation first, and then look for opportunities to slash a few times for the wealthy families in the Jiangnan area...

……

The troubled times are precarious like the wind and the wind, and the common people become the biggest sufferers, and they have no place to complain about their grievances.

Then, some Buddhist temples, Taoist temples, mountain farms and other places have become the only tangible hope for the common people, although in many cases, the great monks do not recite scriptures, and the monks teach the rich.

But it is also a kind of poison after all.

More or less, it can make people indulge in it for a moment, and in a trance, they can see a ray of light shining through.

Li Zicheng's delay in resigning from the army not only made Sun Chuanting anxious and impatient, but also made Zhu Youjian, the idiot emperor, eager to see through.

He is not afraid of Li Zicheng's rebellion, just like Song Renzong was not afraid of the rebellion of Hei Saburo Song Jiang back then, because he has a backup...

On this day, staying in the capital was really boring, so Zhu Youjian simply took Miss Hongliu and her party out of the capital quietly, heading west all the way.

Before he took the throne, he had been to the front line of Shanhaiguan.

After ascending the throne, he has been to Shandong, Tianjin Wei, Kuwu Island, and by the way, the Koryo Peninsula.

He suddenly wanted to go out and take a look, and see what kind of precarious appearance his so-called million-mile country and society looked like?He always has a strange feeling, is this Great Ming Dynasty different from the Great Ming Dynasty he knows?
Travel thousands of miles and break thousands of books.

The idiot emperor wanted to take a look with his own eyes.

Thus, there was this secret westward journey.

In the court, only the Commander of Jin Yiwei and Xu Yunzhen, King of Zhongshan, knew his whereabouts. Others, including Wei Zhongxian, Qian Qianyi, Yang He, Zhang Ruitu, etc., did not inform him at all.

He now has some doubts. At the beginning, the original owner, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian, was the same as him. After groping around in the court, he suddenly found out that the so-called emperor was nothing more than that.

"Don't take yourself too seriously, of course, don't take yourself too seriously."

This is a sentence he often talks about to 'instruct' the people around him. Now that he thinks about it, it seems that there is some truth in it.

"When you meet monks, Buddhas, Taoists, etc., you might as well stop for a while. We don't burn incense, but Buddhas and Bodhisattvas should always be respected."

Because among the entourage, there are not only masters of Jinyiwei, but also people from the world sent by Mrs. Cao and Miss Hongliu, so the idiot emperor can't be too ostentatious and dress up as a handsome and dirty son.

The face is like a crown of jade, and it has a noble atmosphere, and it is more or less eye-catching as it walks along the way.

However, friends or something, but not even a single one.

This can't be blamed on him, the key is now in troubled times, and ordinary people have to find some way to survive.

Among them, many people became bandits.

Similar to when Monk Wang, Gao Yingxiang and other "Chuang Wang" rebelled, these honest and friendly people carried hoes to do farm work during the day, and gathered in the mountains and forests at night to do some worthless business.

The idiot emperor didn't dislike it too much.

He even felt that after a whole year of hard work, he couldn't even eat a bite of life. If he didn't rebel, would he still be considered a man?
The common people of Ming Dynasty must have such responsibility and courage!
"Let everyone keep a low profile, don't be so arrogant, lest people not know that you are a rich man, what kind of big shit you are?"

On this day, when a group of people came to Baoding Mansion, the idiot emperor who didn't "understand" the people's feelings along the way was very angry, so he poured out his resentment on Miss Hongliu.

"You tell them to keep a low profile!"

"What is low-key, do you know? Just like me, he is obviously the emperor, but he can still eat simple food and talk nonsense with ordinary people!"

Zhu Youjian was talking, feeling a little depressed, so he simply got out of the carriage, wanting to get a good horse over, and galloped the horse to release his depression.

At this moment, a person appeared far away on the yellow mud pipe.

No, it should be a donkey and a man, walking slowly, as if a bit of an outsider.

"Look, that hero's demeanor is low-key." Zhu Youjian pointed at the man and the donkey, and said with a smile: "You all have to learn from him."
