A rain of bricks rained down, and the Zunhua Governor's Yamen was a third-entry courtyard. The emperor lived in the second hall. Because no matter where the emperor went, he was in the center. At the same time, it was also for security. After all, there were protective forces in all directions.
The second hall is not far from the outer gate. In addition to the main gate, there is also a ceremonial gate, and then there is the second gate. Those veterans who were closer to the courtyard wall directly threw the compressed biscuits into the second-floor courtyard.
Bang bang bang! A burst of chaos. The supply window of Chongzhen’s residence was smashed open.
These brick-hard compressed biscuits were extremely powerful, large and heavy. They flew from a high place and directly shattered the small window lattice and the papered window paper.
"Hey, what is this? Who dares to hit me?" Chongzhen received a blow on his back, which immediately hurt his heart and lungs and felt like his bones were broken.
Wang Chengen rushed forward and stood in front of him. More than a dozen compressed biscuits flew in, and he also received two.
Surprisingly, Chongzhen didn't get angry this time, despite the burning pain in his back. He even had a sad expression on his face. As an emperor, when he was like this, it was unprecedented.
It's a pity that I'm only nineteen years old. I've suffered such terrible things.
He bent down and picked up a piece of broken compressed biscuit. He looked at it carefully. He knew what it was. Because Yang Fan had the recipe for making this thing, he had already secretly ordered the imperial guards accompanying him to copy a copy and send it back to the palace.
In ancient times, a convenient and easy-to-carry military ration was a great thing. It was also one of the top secrets of the Ministry of War. The British lobster soldiers were able to fight all over the world by relying on compressed biscuits. This kind of heat is sufficient, and the unit energy is small. Extremely high compression biscuits
With compressed biscuits, for the first time in the human army, except for the Mongols, a soldier has the ability to carry more than a month's worth of military rations. Before, a soldier carried nothing but the food and supplies for himself. Water can only go out for 15 days.
In fact, in addition to weapons, armor, fire sickles, fire knives, tableware, and hemostatic medicine, infantry soldiers have to carry more than 40 kilograms when marching. Light infantrymen also carry no less than 25 kilograms. They can only carry it for three days at most. of rations and water.
Yang Fan's compressed biscuits, as well as fried noodles, fried rice and other military rations, can allow a soldier to carry a month's worth of food in addition to equipment. These compressed biscuits, one inch in size, can last for a day. It is okay to carry thirty pieces. .
Therefore, at that time, Chongzhen secretly ordered the Jin Yiwei to steal it.
At that time, he followed the recipe with the kitchen and tried every one. Tasting the taste and feeling full, he really could endure it without eating for a whole day. Although he was still a little hungry at night. But after enduring it, it was indeed a piece of cake. It can last for one day.
He picked up the pressed biscuit and rubbed it vigorously with his fingers. A pungent and spicy smell hit his face. He had smelled this smell before. The warehouse in his letter palace was moldy. This is what food tastes like.
His face instantly darkened. Then he saw a small yellow piece in the biscuit. He crushed it with his hands.
"What is this? Why does it smell like earth?" Chongzhen asked in confusion.
The second uncle stammered and replied: "This is His Majesty Huangtu."
Chongzhen angrily smashed the half piece of biscuit on the ground, and then stepped on it one by one, as if he wanted to vent his anger on the biscuit.
"Send someone out to convey my instructions and ask Zhou Yuji's camp to come back immediately. But don't act rashly and wait for my order." Chongzhen vented his anger and gradually calmed down.
In his heart, he said that he was not an unscrupulous king, and the soldiers and civilians still loved him. This was caused by some petty people who misused power and harmed the country. As long as he showed up, the officers and soldiers of the three armies would never harm him.
However, Zhou Yu Ji's army was extremely strict, and the 50,000 chariot and camp troops in the Santun camp would never be in chaos. There were 10,000 chariot camps, 20,000 heavy infantry, and 20,000 cavalry. Both Wu Zhang and Xiao Qi were
Veterans of the Western Expedition, and even some general bannermen and hundreds of households were also veterans with meritorious services. They were the battalion leaders with the most meritorious service in the Beijing camp.
Chongzhen judged that Zhou Yuji must not know what happened in Zunhua City. Otherwise, he would have come to rescue him long ago. He promoted Zhou Yuji all the way, taking him from a small household in a hundred households to the deputy commander-in-chief today in two years.
He is loyal to himself, even if Yang Fan is not easy to use. He is the general he can trust most.
"Where are Zhang Geda and Xinghe Tuan training?" After setting up the car camp, Chongzhen continued to ask.
"Reporting to your majesty, the old slave went to announce the decree yesterday. The army needs to prepare supplies, and there is also a regiment of civilian men who need to be recruited from the countryside. Normally, it would take three days to set off. However, Zhang Geda was the one who eradicated Wei Yisu back then.
He is an old man who guarded the palace. He has served as a servant for His Majesty, so he must know the priorities of things. If the old servant guessed correctly, they may have assembled and set off by now." Wang Chengen said.
Chongzhen nodded, he was quite familiar with these three living treasures under Yang Fan. Zhang Goda, that old ruffian, was rotten and rotten. Mo Zhui was an impulsive idiot who only grew muscles but not brains. Donkey
Damn that damn thing, he often shows off to the Ouchi guards that his dick is as big as a donkey’s ears.
Chongzhen encountered him several times. He saw this idiot with his back turned to him, bragging and spitting in front of a group of big Han generals. There were also a group of eunuchs beside him, with an expression of envy on his face.
Chongzhen didn't even know he was here. He looked at him and wanted to go up and kick him.
Hearing Wang Chengen's words, Chongzhen came with peace of mind. The animals trained by the Xinghe regiment came, and they were beaten three times, five divided by two, and these troublemaking soldiers scurried away like mice after seeing a cat.
This is not the first time that we have suppressed the officers and soldiers who committed riots, looting and setting fires, and organized a group training. They have experience.
After arranging the two back-ups, this matter still needs to be resolved, otherwise this imperial expedition will be in vain.
Chongzhen struggled in his heart for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and asked: "I remember that the original head office of Xinghe Bank was in Zunhua City."
"Yes, Your Majesty, it is the one in the northeast corner of the city, but now the main store has been moved to the new city built by Yang Fan. But this one is still the largest bank." Wang Chenen said quickly.
"I remember that the money we deposited in Xinghe Bank was deposited and exchanged nationwide."
"Yes, as long as you have the passbook in hand, you can withdraw money from all Xinghe Banks in the eighteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty."
"Go to Zunhua Xinghe Bank in person and take out three million taels of silver. Use a silver cart to bring it back and show it to the officers and soldiers. I have money and a lot of silver. I will pay them. Not even a copper plate.
The one who sent them." Chongzhen said loudly with a red face.
At this time, he deeply realized that Yang Fan often said that a man should not be without money for a day, which was really insightful. Money is the backbone of a man. If you can take out the cash and shoot it here, even the rebels will have to bow to you.
