Chapter 587: King Fu refuses to personally send someone to fetch me(1/2)
Chapter 587 King Fu refuses to give it, so I will personally send someone to get it
Envoy Lantian was politely sent out by Prince Fu. After leaving the palace, Envoy Lantian's face suddenly darkened. This old bastard had so many possessions that he was not willing to spend a little money to buy Lantian's firearms, but...
Okay, if you don’t buy it now, if you want to buy it in the future, beg us, Lantian, we won’t sell it to you again.
The envoy secretly felt cruel in his heart. Seeing the envoy like this, the guard on the side asked: "Sir, what should we do next?"
After hearing this, the envoy said: "No problem, just report it to the county magistrate truthfully."
After hearing this, the guards looked back at Prince Fu's Mansion and said: "That damn fat guy is really a snobbery. When he saw the ferocity of Li Zicheng's arrival, he tried different ways to contact us. Now that the emperor has sent reinforcements to him, he has turned his face and refused to recognize anyone."
Yes, sooner or later he will regret it."
After hearing this, the envoy thought for a while and said, "Okay, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's leave Luoyang first."
"yes."
The group of people rode directly out of Luoyang City without stopping.
Inside Prince Fu's Mansion.
"Have those people from Lantian left?"
King Fu looked at the old housekeeper on the side and asked. After hearing this, the old housekeeper said: "Let's go. Our people said that after leaving the palace, they left Luoyang City directly without making any stop."
"Oh, tell me."
Sticking to Shuzhong, he could push back some of the court's orders at will, with the excuse of serving his mother at home, but who knows his true thoughts, especially in the era of great strife in the late Ming Dynasty, Ma Xianglin was still in the land of abundance that Zhang Xianzhong only dreamed of.
If he didn't have some little ideas of his own, he might not believe it himself.
After hearing this, Li Chaosheng thought for a while and said, "Shi Dalei's team."
Gu Zi nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. I will send someone to Dengfeng City to discuss business with Li Zicheng soon."
"yes."
King Fu scolded the butler for a while. When the butler heard this, he quickly bowed and said, "Yes, this old slave has learned a lesson."
Gu Zi responded, feeling a little excited. It was time for Lantian to expand its army. Currently, Lantian only has four regular divisions and a total of 40,000 regular troops. Although these troops are enough for Lantian to guarantee its vital interests, if you want to get out of Lantian and occupy
In the world, these people are still a little stretched.
Until Li Zicheng captured Luoyang and looted Wang Fu's tens of millions of property, which made Li Zicheng gain money in vain.
Li Chaosheng put down the document and looked at Gu Zi attentively. After hearing this, Gu Zi took out an intelligence report: "This first piece of information is from Hubei. After a month of crazy expansion, Zhang Xianzhong has expanded his troops to 200,000 people. Now he has gradually
Gather your troops, it looks like they will march into Shu in the near future."
Prince Fu looked at the old butler, who said: "Your Majesty, the muskets in Lantian are really powerful. If we buy equipment for the royal guards, even if the intruders attack Luoyang, we can still protect ourselves. Why don't you buy it, Your Majesty?"
One hundred thousand taels is not a lot."
The reason why Li Chaosheng can become the helmsman is because the great Chinese nation has walked this road in the future. He has a lot of information and ready-made examples to refer to. He knows what the future he wants looks like, so he can be
The leader of Lantian.
Now that we want to expand the army with so many people at once, I am afraid that the Ministry of Finance will jump on its feet and cry for poverty. Li Chaomeng said it well. The people in the Ministry of Finance are like stringing money on their ribs. Every time they use it, they use fire.
The pliers were pulled down, so every time it was bloody, the person screamed in pain.
Gu Zi handed the information about the Lantian envoy to Li Chaosheng. Li Chaosheng took the information and read it. He saw that the content was very simple. King Fu regretted it and did not want to pay. He believed that Yang Sichang and Sun Chuanting were enough to protect him, and he did not need the help of Lantian's firearms.
.
"yes."
After hearing this, King Fu's eyes widened: "You know what the heck, even though five hundred thousand taels is not much, I got it from Luoyang Nijizi one by one. How can I get Lantian Li Chaosheng for nothing?"
, The suppression of the rebel bandits is originally a matter for the imperial court, and it has nothing to do with our Prince Fu's Mansion. Now that the emperor has sent Yang Sichang and Sun Chuanting to quell the chaos, it is enough. What else do we need to do? Save these five hundred thousand to do something else.
What's wrong is that you are becoming less and less able to live your life."
After hearing this, Gu Zi said: "Your Majesty, aren't we a little shameless selling weapons everywhere to make money?"
In this way, Lantian suddenly has five armies. In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of civilian militiamen. Lantian's military strength is still sufficient, but the only thing worth considering now is that the sudden increase of hundreds of thousands of regular troops will have a huge impact on Lantian's finances.
It's a big burden, and those bastards in the Ministry of Finance are probably going to be poor again.
Li Chaosheng heard this and said: "Okay, don't worry about this, just remember that doing this is in our interests."
Li Chaosheng murmured, and his eyes gradually became sharper. Ma Xianglin is the son of Qin Liangyu and his late husband Ma Qiancheng. He is currently the second-ranking commander of the Baigan Army. How can this person be said to have some talents, but he was eliminated under the brilliance of his mother?
Not much is left of the reflection, but the man's attitude is interesting.
Li Chaosheng put down the document in his hand and looked up at Gu Zi. At this time, Gu Zi said: "I have some information to report to you."
After hearing this, Gu Zi said: "Expand the army?"
After hearing this, Guzi's face suddenly darkened, and he took out a piece of intelligence report: "Your Majesty, the information from Prince Fu is that Prince Fu's grandson has repented, and the five hundred thousand taels of silver are not going to be released."
Lantian County Government.
"But……"
Gu Zi sighed after hearing this, but Li Chaosheng smiled and said: "Games between countries often have no morality at all. They are just using each other. Today you use me, and tomorrow I will use you. If you use morality,
When evaluating a country, the country with the best morals will often die miserably."
Li Chaosheng frowned and said, "Let me take a look."
Li Chaosheng thought and said: "The caravans that have recently entered Shuzhong have stopped, and another troop has been sent to Hanzhong to pay attention to the situation in Shuzhong at all times."
After hearing this, Li Chaosheng thought for a while and said, "Well, with the world undergoing great changes, it seems that the regular army at hand is not enough. It seems that it is time to expand the army."
And he is the first person at the helm that no one questions.
There is no way that King Fu is a man who would rather give up his life than his wealth.
"Information also came from Shuzhong. Mrs. Qin has mobilized within the chieftains and assembled 15,000 white-armed troops to prepare for a decisive battle with Zhang Xianzhong. Just yesterday, his son Ma Xianglin led 5,000 soldiers.
The Baigan Army set off, and Chen Bing marched to Shu, preparing to fight Zhang Xianzhong to the death."
To put it bluntly, this guy wants to be his local emperor in Shu.
But now, Ma Xianglin is ambitious, and Zhang Xianzhong is also greedy. If two ambitious guys fight in the middle of Shu, it will definitely muddy the calm lake in Shu, and only muddy water can fish.
Li Chaosheng rubbed his eyebrows. The officials of the Ministry of Finance that he trained were really stingy to the core. Even if he wanted to use money, he would complain about poverty when he went to them. This made Li Chaosheng spend a lot of money whenever he wanted to do something.
Money, it's like making such a big mistake, it gives people a headache.
"explain."
Gu Zi responded, then looked at Li Chaosheng and said: "County Lord, which soldier should we send?"
Li Chaosheng looked at it and suddenly sneered: "Ah, what a lucky king. He really treats me, Lan Tian, as a soft persimmon. Okay, don't admit it, right? Then don't blame me for being cruel."
"yes."
Hearing this, Gu Zi looked at Li Chaosheng in shock, and Li Chaosheng smiled and said, "Yes."
Therefore, there are countless things in Lantian that require Li Chaosheng to worry about every day. Whether it is farming, water conservancy construction, improvement of people's livelihood, military construction, business planning, all walks of life need Li Chaosheng to be at the helm. There is no way, now Lantian is following a path that the Ming Dynasty has always followed.
The road has not been traveled. Although the civil servants and generals under Li Chaosheng are capable, they do not know what the blueprint Li Chaosheng wants. Therefore, they can only be the implementers of Li Chaosheng's plan, not the helmsmen.
"Ah, County Lord, do you want to sell gunpowder to Li Zicheng?"
"I don't understand, but what the county magistrate said must make sense."
When I sent a caravan to sell salt in Sichuan, the first person who reacted was not Qin Liangyu, but this Ma Xianglin. It can be said that this man is ambitious and not an easy person to deal with.
The old housekeeper responded and helped Prince Fu to rest. He thought to himself that his prince was really giving up his life rather than his wealth. Besides, didn’t the Ming Dynasty belong to your Zhu family? Why are you not willing to spend a penny? I don’t understand a person who has lost his lips and teeth.
Does it make sense?
The old housekeeper really guessed it right. King Fu really didn't understand what it means to have a dead lip and a cold tooth.
According to historical records, when the Ming Dynasty was experiencing internal and external troubles, someone suggested that Prince Fu donate some money to the court. As a result, Prince Fu insisted on leaving nothing. Didn’t he have any money?
No, he is too rich. He is willing to spend 300,000 taels on a birthday party. But if he spends even a penny on the Ming Dynasty royal family, he feels panicked. What can you do about it?
Li Chaosheng is correcting the report. As the leader of Lantian County, what he faces most every day is endless document reports. There is no way. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. The five million people in Lantian County need to eat, develop, and develop.
In life, Li Chaosheng is the first person with the unshirkable responsibility.
"Ma Xianglin?"
The old housekeeper looked at Prince Fu and said, "Your Majesty, I have something unclear."
Li Chaosheng thought for a while and said: "Notify the military department to hold a meeting tomorrow to study the options for military expansion. In addition, notify the finance and other departments to prepare relevant budgets. We will hold a plenary meeting the day after tomorrow."
Soon Guzi came to the county Zun: "Xian Zun."
Li Chaosheng smiled and said: "Okay, the second thing is to immediately inform Sun Chuanting and our own people in the old Qin camp. When rescuing Luoyang City, we must pay attention to safety and don't rush too hard. Be careful of Li Zicheng's gunpowder. We will sell it back."
, but don’t hurt your own people.”
A multi-functional department that integrates many responsibilities such as security, guard of honor, investigation, and intelligence gathering.
King Fu smiled when he heard this and said, "Okay, I'm tired today. Send me to Madam Shiba, um, Shibai to have a rest."
In addition to these two divisions, Li Chaosheng is planning to expand a guard division. This division is composed of two parts. One is the personal guard directly under Li Chaosheng, and the other is the military investigation department to which Shi Xiaolei belongs. These two departments will be merged to form
The duties of the bodyguard division directly led by him are similar to those of the imperial guards of the Ming Dynasty.
