"Zao Zhongzai, we can't take this matter lightly."
Wu Linzheng said: "On the surface, this court recommendation is aimed at the Nine Ministers who are facing our national calamity, but in fact it is directed at the Holy One. As expected, these people will deprive Yan Yingyuan and other Qin Princes of their military power in the next step."
"Next step?" Meng Zhaoxiang said angrily, "It has been proposed at the court meeting today that the training of Xiangyong belongs to local officials and the Ministry of War. The Xiangyong in Huai'an Prefecture has been under the command of local officials. The Qinwang scholars sent by the Holy Lord
Only the power of staff supervision is left.”
"Ah? Do these people really dare?"
Wu Ganlai and Chen Liangmo couldn't believe it.
"Why don't they dare?" Meng Zhaoxiang snorted, "Isn't this what they have been doing all these years? As long as these people have a little bottom line, they only want to pretend to be the Ming Dynasty, the country, the country and the common people, Grand Master Lu and Sun Du
The division would not have been defeated, and how could the Ming Dynasty be reduced to such a state?"
Meng Zhaoxiang's words are not objective and are just throwing dirty water.
Lu Xiangsheng died in the battle with Jiazhuang, but he was killed by Gao Qiqian, the eunuch.
As for Sun Chuanting's defeat, it was Chongzhen who urged him again and again.
However, Meng Zhaoxiang is right about one thing. Chongzhen certainly had a hard time quitting his role in the decline of the Ming Dynasty to its present state, but the party disputes and inaction of the civil service group were also the main reasons.
Chen Liangmo said: "I have to go to the doctor for this matter."
"It's useless." Meng Zhaoxiang shook his head and said, "What's the use of going up alone?"
If the imperial censor wants to form public opinion in the scholarly community, hundreds or even thousands of people must have one voice for it to be effective.
The reason why the Donglin Party formed a climate during the Wanli period was because it led Jiangnan Shilin and Jiangnan official circles.
Chen Liangmo was silent, and at the same time a little discouraged. He thought that if not all his colleagues in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, at least half of the censors were subordinated, but now he suddenly discovered that his colleagues in the Metropolitan Procuratorate were just perfunctory.
, deceive him.
Chen Liangmo suddenly felt that he was ridiculous. For more than a year, he had been like a clown and was laughed at by his colleagues.
Wu Linzheng said: "How about giving a secret report to the Holy One? Then let the Holy One send an imperial envoy back to Nanjing to handle the matter?"
"It's useless." Meng Zhaoxiang shook his head and said, "Not to mention whether Mizou can enter Xuzhou City, even if he enters Xuzhou City, where will the Holy Emperor have time to take care of these bad things in the court?"
"The Holy One is a Holy King, and he is different from these people."
"The Holy Spirit really has the country and the people in his heart."
"So now the Holy Father will not care about these things, but will only think about the battle situation in Xuzhou."
Speaking of this meal, Meng Zhaoxiang continued: "You should be more peaceful during this period, and don't cause trouble to the Holy One, nor to the troubled Ming Dynasty."
Wu Linzheng and the others were silent again.
…
Chongzhen really can't care about the bad things in Nanjing now.
Those things that were big in the eyes of the civil servants were nothing in the eyes of Chongzhen.
For example, the civil servant group thought that Xiang Yong of Huai'an Prefecture was a big deal, so it had to be grasped. However, Chongzhen didn't take it seriously at all, and just took it if he wanted.
Of course, Chongzhen doesn't know these things yet.
Jiannu's blockade of Xuzhou was truly watertight.
Since the last time Wu Sanwang managed to break through the blockade with the support of the cavalry, no one from outside, whether it was the outsiders who wanted to come in, or the inside who wanted to get out, could not break through the blockade.
The reason is very simple. The Jiannu slaves not only had trenches and protective walls,
There are also Ye Bushou and the ambushes who are wandering in the dark night.
At this time, Lu Jiude was trying his best to dissuade Chongzhen.
"Long live my Lord, you can't go up. You can't go up. It's too dangerous."
"Yes, this large sky lantern flies too high and it would be dangerous if it falls."
Gao Qiqian and Lu Jiude just knelt down and hugged Chongzhen's thighs, preventing you from getting on.
"Get out of the way, why is it dangerous?" Chongzhen scolded angrily, "Zheng Sen and the others have flown into the sky so many times, and I have never seen them fall down. Could it be that I will fall down when I go up? There is no such thing."
At that time, Chongzhen ignored the high altitude and dived, but Lu Jiude objected and insisted on flying into the sky.

Chapter 259 Flying Troops?
The large Kongming lantern sewn by Zhen Rang Gao Qiqian is actually a hot air balloon.
The safety factor of a hot air balloon is very high. As long as the ball is not burned, there will be basically no problems. So instead of worrying about falling, it is better to worry about the tether breaking and eventually flying onto Jiannu's head.
After a while, the hot air balloon slowly rose to an altitude of thirty feet under the influence of heat.
In fact, the ceiling of this hot air balloon has been raised to fifty feet by Zheng Sen and the others.
But after reaching thirty feet, Zheng Sen, who came up with him, refused to go up any further.
"Your Majesty, let's stop here." Zheng Sen said, "The wind will be too strong when we go up, and the shaking will be severe."
"Okay, let's stop here." Chongzhen knew that Zheng Sen had good intentions, so he did not embarrass him.
At that moment, Chongzhen opened the three-section monocular telescope given to him by Tang Ruowang and aimed it at the outer sealing ditch.
While Chongzhen was observing Jian Nu sealing the ditch, Zheng Sen said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this student has an idea. Don't make fun of him when he says it."
Chongzhen said: "Just tell me, I will definitely not laugh at you."
Zheng Sen scratched his head and said: "Your Majesty, this is what the students think. This large sky lantern can actually fly higher. Even the bows and arrows of Jiannu can't reach it, and the cannons of Hongyi can't hit the sky. So if our people can
If we fly over on a sky lantern, wouldn't we be able to throw ten thousand enemies down from above Jiannu's head? And Jiannu can't do anything to us."
Chongzhen paused slightly as he moved his hands, and turned around to look at Zheng Sen in astonishment.
Yes, this belongs to the air combat thinking. It seems that I have come up with ideas for playing with hot air balloons in the past six months.
Zheng Sen also said that Chongzhen was opposed to this, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is what the students said..."
"No, your idea is very good." Chongzhen said, "But there are no conditions yet. Once we defeat the Jian Nu, I will grant you a sum of money, and you can select a group of people to form a flying force. But
The sky lanterns like this now are not good, and some improvements will have to be made by then, at least so that the sky lanterns can fly forward."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Seriously?" Zheng Sen was overjoyed when he heard this. This is really his dream come true.
"Seriously." Chongzhen smiled and said, "From now on, you will be assigned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Flight Department. After this battle is over, you can go to Nanjing to find Ma Mingluan for money."
"I obey." Zheng Sen waved his fist vigorously.
The two soldiers behind the bellows also looked excited.
If they really form a flying force, they probably won't need to blow the bellows.
Chongzhen did not take this seriously. The hot-air balloon air force was just a scout. If it wanted to really play a decisive role on the battlefield, it had to wait until the aircraft appeared.
It's rare to see him in this life.
But being a scout is good too.
Moreover, a large group of hot air balloons flew over the enemy's heads and threw thousands of them at them. In the future, they could also throw grenades, which was quite cool. It should also have a huge impact on the enemy's morale.
Thinking of this, Chongzhen smiled, and the scholar camp was gradually revealing its splendor.
However, whether the Ming Dynasty has a chance of Nirvana and rebirth still depends on whether it can survive the difficulty before it. If it cannot survive this hurdle, nothing will matter.
At that moment, Chongzhen raised his telescope again.
But this time Chongzhen did not look at Jiannu's blockade ditch.
Instead, focus on the slave camps in the northeast.
Then, Chongzhen saw a team composed of chicken carts and wheelbarrows, like a long earth-gray dragon winding out from the back of Jingshan Mountain, and heading towards Zhakou Town along the east bank of the canal!
There were originally no homes in Zhakou Town, only a ship lock connecting the canal and the Yellow River. Because the water level of the Yellow River was higher than the canal, a ship lock had to be built here.
However, passing ships need to wait when passing through the lock.
After waiting for a long time, the business travelers on the ship need to eat.
So slowly, small traders began to open restaurants, wine shops and the like here.
Later, foot shops, inns and even guild halls appeared for merchants to rest, and then Zhakou Town was born.
Before the Xuzhou War, all the families in Zhakou Town were moved into Xuzhou City, leaving only an empty town. After the arrival of the slave-building army, they occupied the town.
After Duduo returned from Shanyang, he set up the banner with white flags here. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 259 Flying Troops?
Looking at the queue of Jiannu slaves winding down the east bank of the canal, Chongzhen said quietly: "Isn't there more than hundreds of thousands of Jiannu slaves? Did the Jiannu slaves even leave their coats in full force? Are they really planning to farm?"
…
Almost at the same time, Dorgon also saw the large Kongming Lantern high in the sky.
"What is this?" Dorgon pointed to the Kongming Lantern hanging on the top of Yunlong Mountain with a serious look on his face.
Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan and I, who were following Dorgon, also looked at each other in confusion.
Duduo's eyes fell on Hong Chengchou and the other three, and said: "The three gentlemen are well-informed, so you might as well take a guess."
Hong Chengchou, Ning Wan and I frowned, but finally Fan Wencheng whispered: "Ten Kings, could this thing be a Kongming Lantern?"
"As expected of Mr. Xian Dou." Duduo said with a smile, "Yes, this object is the Kongming Lantern. It was specially obtained by Chongzhen, the dog emperor, to scare people. I was also shocked when I first saw this object, but later luckily
Only after being reminded by a dog slave did I realize that this thing is just a large sky lantern and is really not worth mentioning."
"It turns out it's just a Kongming Lantern." Dorgon breathed a sigh of relief.
Duduo suddenly smiled and said to Dorgon: "Brother Fourteen, I have found a good slave for you."
"Nonsense, I want you to find some slave." Dorgon said angrily, "Just lead the troops and fight well, don't think about these messy things in your mind."
"Brother Fourteen, this slave is different." Duduo turned around and waved, "Hou Fangyu, come here."
Hou Fangyu, who was following behind, hurried forward, knelt down and said: "This slave is going to bow to the master, and to bow to the regent."
Hou Fangyu, this little bastard, is really lucky. He managed to survive. Moreover, after more than half a month of nursing, the wound has basically scabbed, but it is inconvenient to relieve himself and it keeps leaking.
Duduo smiled and said: "Brother Fourteen, this dog slave is a great talent."
