rebirth [rebirth]

The hiding place of the treasury is very rough and hard to find. If the old Hou Ye hadn't led them all the way, Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze would definitely not be able to find it.

Even if you find it, you can't open the iron door deep in the cave.

I don't know how the ancestors made it, but the heavy iron gate stood firmly in front of them. Without the bunch of keys in the hands of the old Hou Ye, ordinary people would not be able to get in at all.

Old Hou Ye stood there and sighed.

"I locked it with my own hands in the 31st year of Yongyan, and now I'm the one who opened it with my own hands." After he finished speaking, he stepped forward to unlock it without much hesitation.

Although the iron doors here are very rough, the keyholes on them are extremely delicate. The old Hou Ye opened all the copper locks with three keys in a row, and stepped back two steps: "Your Majesty, the inside is very dark and full of dust. Please be careful."

Rong Jingxuan nodded, took two steps forward with Xie Mingze, and pushed open the iron door.

A harsh and piercing voice sounded, and the heavy iron door finally opened slowly.

Xie Mingze lit the torch, looked back at Rong Jingxuan, and walked in first.

Contrary to Rong Jingxuan's expectation, the inside is really not too big. After bypassing the steep tunnel, he came to two caves in a blink of an eye.

Old Hou Ye went to the one on the left and continued to open the lock.

The iron door inside the burrow was relatively thin. Old Hou Ye unlocked the door and pulled it hard to open it.

In the glow of fireflies, the golden light inside the door shines brightly and dazzles the eyes.

Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze walked in involuntarily.

The inside is like the Yuanbao Mountain in the myth.

Rows of solid wooden boxes are neatly placed near the innermost position, and some wooden boxes seem to be old and dilapidated.

It was the golden light that broke through the cracks of the box that stung the eyes of Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze...

Rong Jingxuan found the nearest one and opened it, and the dark cave suddenly shone with golden light. The firelight seemed to be moving fireflies, dancing and jumping on the neat gold bricks, bringing a dazzling light.

Here, it is almost the largest wealth that Da Chu can accumulate in 200 years.

Feng Bairui's voice suddenly sounded: "According to the handwriting of the general of the brave army, every generation of emperors used to store silver here. When the weather is good, they store more gold, and when the weather is bad, they also have silver. The 370 eight boxes here are It is the accumulated result of the generations of the Rong family of the Da Chu royal family."

Rong Jingxuan felt that the sockets of his eyes were a little moist.

From the time he was sensible, he saw Emperor Min in a state of decay. He didn't care about political affairs and acted recklessly. A king cannot be a king, so a country cannot be a country.

The ancestors who made great efforts to rule the country, those who cultivated both civil and military skills, those who were virtuous and generous, and those who respected the people and respected the people are just a few strokes in the history books.

The history books of the Rong family were naturally written by them themselves, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are hype.He always felt that the glorious past of the Rong family was too illusory.

However, these boxes of different sizes in front of him really told him that those legends and the pen and ink in those history books were all true.

Although he himself has only been the emperor for three days, the prince has actually been in charge for 13 years. He knows how complicated and difficult it is for a huge country to go on year after year.

It is not easy to save these gold and silver, even as an emperor, guarding a huge treasury.

Rong Jingxuan felt that his throat was a little dry, and he couldn't help holding Xie Mingze's hand. Only Xie Mingze's warm palm could give him stability and peace.

"This one is gold and silver, so what's next to it?" Rong Jingxuan asked hoarsely.

He didn't ask a word about how much money there was here, but instead cared about another secret hidden deep in the cave next door.

Even Feng Bairui couldn't help being tempted by the gold and silver in this cave, Rong Jingxuan is worthy of being a nobleman, he has seen the best things in the world, no matter how much gold, silver and jewels there are, they can't fascinate his eyes.

Feng Bairui breathed a sigh of relief, and shook the key in his hand: "I guess, His Majesty will like the things next to him more."

What he said was indeed correct, when the thin iron door opened, under the light of the fire, the dark and cold light inside instantly ignited Rong Jingxuan's eyes.

That is something more precious than gold and silver.

Made by the Firearms Supervision Bureau in the 31st year of Yongyan, the firecrackers, muskets and bombs are engraved with the four characters of Yongwu Daying.

In addition, there are two cannons on the right hand side.

If the space is not too small, Rong Jingxuan thinks maybe more can be stored.

At this moment, he was really shocked.

"This...is all from recent years...?" Xie Mingze was puzzled.

Feng Borui nodded: "Emperor Wen issued an order to order the veterans to make new firearms in the 31st year of Yongyan."

Of course, this is under the condition that there will be such a year as Yongyan 31 years. Feng Bairui guessed that Emperor Wen knew his son too well, knowing that even after 31 years of Yongyan, he would still not be successful.

The Dachu Firearms Manufacturing Supervision Bureau is rather special. It does not look at the emperor's imperial decree, but uses a special firearms manufacturing supervision order to supervise the work.

The firearms supervision order was written by Emperor Wen himself, and it was affixed with the jade seal of Chuanguo and the private seal of Emperor Wen.On the top is the list of supervisors, and below is the private seal of the leader and supervisor.

When ordering, the supervisor must provide the original private seal for verification.

Of course, the money used to make these firearms came from this cave.

"With it...whether it is Yongwu or Ningyuan, they will get better." Rong Jingxuan murmured.

Originally, he and Xie Mingze read at night with the lamp on. The two of them thought of countless countermeasures and thousands of ways, but no matter what kind of method, they should be cautious.

For they have neither money nor firearms.

At that time, he only relied on the old department of the Sixth Emperor's Uncle, and relied on the treasury of a prince's palace for more than a year. He didn't believe that he could not make a comeback by relying on Da Chu's 200-year-old emperor's foundation.

Best of all, he now has a firearm, too.

After Chen Shengzhi occupied Yong'an, he also occupied the Firearms Supervision Bureau. With cold weapons against firearms, no matter how good the soldiers are in martial arts, they are really fighting for their lives.

Now I am not afraid of these things.

The firearms battalion is expensive and not expensive. His original idea was Fu Yanhe's 2000 people, and it is still the same.

With 2000 people, the role it can play is unimaginable.

The firearms here and the survival of the brave camp are enough.

Thinking of this, Rong Jingxuan's eyes sharpened, and he said, "Let's go, we are going to change the deployment!"

The distant mountains are very cold at night. This year is a special year. I don’t know if there is a shocking grievance. In June, it snowed again in Fengcheng.

After dinner, Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze strolled back to their room together, their buckskin boots stepping on the snow, making a "squeaky" sound.

Today's days don't feel like early summer at all.

It was probably because Xie Mingze saw so many gold and silver firearms during the day, so Xie Mingze was in a good mood at the moment. He stretched out his hands to his lips and breathed lightly.

Just like in winter, the white mist blows on the hands, bringing a little warmth.

"It's still so cold." Xie Mingze said.

Rong Jingxuan smiled and walked beside him casually and naturally.

He only tied his hair with a wooden hairpin on his head, and he was wearing an ordinary navy blue dress. He looked slender, tall and straight, very dignified.

Xie Mingze looked back at him.

Ever since he was a child, he always felt that Rong Jingxuan was different from others. They have been together since the beginning of the year, to tied their hair, and now they are about to be crowned weak. For more than ten years, they have never been separated.

In his eyes, this person is always the most dazzling one.

Even if he was wearing the exact same clothes as his own, he still thought it looked very good-looking.

"What? Why are you looking at me in a daze?" Rong Jingxuan asked him with a smile.

Since the moment they fled from Changxin, Rong Jingxuan's smiles have become less and less, and his dignity has become more and more serious. He always has a cold face and serious silence, and the young soldiers in the barracks are also very afraid of him.

Xie Mingze was not afraid of him, but he felt sorry for him.

In memory, he was obviously not like this.

He would gently curl the corners of his mouth, narrow his dark eyes, and smile warmly and brightly.

Just like it is now, simply, when Rong Jingxuan was facing him, it was still the same as before.

For some reason, Xie Mingze's heart beat violently when he thought of this.

"Nothing, it's too cold, let's go back."

Rong Jingxuan looked at him fixedly, and said softly: "Okay, I also have something to discuss with you."

Xie Mingze nodded, and the two returned to the room in silence.

Xie Mingze probably already had some guesses about what he was going to say.

A brazier was lit in the room, and the two pushed the door open, only to feel a warm current blowing by.

Rong Jingxuan asked Xie Mingze to sit down, and took a clay pot to boil water himself.

"The Fengning silver leaf just sent by Zhong Qi said it tastes very good." He said while putting the tea into the pot.

Xie Mingze didn't speak, he stared blankly at the steaming clay pot on the brazier, as if he was at a loss that Rong Jingxuan made him tea with his own hands.

Rong Jingxuan didn't mind him being silent. He waited until the water boiled and he brewed the tea before he spoke again: "Originally we talked, we wanted to go to Guangqing first, gather soldiers in Guangqing, and then go to Hongdu."

Rong Jingxuan's plan in this life is completely different from the previous life.

He came to Fengning first, firstly because of his bravery, and secondly because Fengning would have a snowstorm, so he stationed troops here first, not only would Chen Shengzhi not be aware of it, but also the people of Fengning would have a way to survive.

Looking at it now, he made the right first step.

The original second step, he was going to Guangqing.

In his last life, he went to Guangqing in the last time. At that time, the Guangqing camp was dilapidated, and most of the remaining soldiers of Da Chu were forced to change their names, but even if they were changed, the imperial court ignored them and forced Guangqing The remnants of the Qing camp used farming to pay taxes.

That tax is ten times higher than that of ordinary people.

They were imprisoned in the Guangqing camp with no one to rely on. They couldn't see their parents and brothers, and they didn't know whether their family members were still alive.

Because on the way to "Shuntian" in the north, Chen Shengzhi encountered the craziest resistance and attack from the Guangqing camp. If it weren't for the superiority of the number, he would probably be here. Be comfortable as an emperor.

What he hated the most, of course, were the soldiers of the Guangqing Camp.

But he couldn't kill them.

Can't kill, he has many means to make these people's lives worse than death.

Rong Jingxuan was the first to go to Hongdu at that time, and later went to Guangqing. He already had Hongdu's soldiers and horses in his hand, but he still lost a thousand soldiers when he confronted Chen Jun, who was guarding Guangqing.

So this time, he wanted to train more elite soldiers in the brave camp, and then rush to Guangqing to rescue those soldiers who were loyal to Da Chu.

But how long will it take?

He couldn't wait any longer.

Now that he has gold, silver and firearms, he has confidence in himself.

He doesn't have to wait any longer.

"When they all come over at night, I will send my eldest brother-in-law to lead Ningyuan [-] north to contact the Lishui cavalry. You and I will lead a team of troops. We will pretend to be escorts and go to Hongdu first."

There, there are three thousand soldiers waiting for us.
