Chapter 21 Signing in at the Hall of Supreme Harmony!
Lin Fan said that he would pay these officials salaries in three days, which meant that the officials' homes would be confiscated. These officials directly chose not to receive salaries, which means that all of their families are rich!
And the emperor himself is really a pauper!
Damn it!
Chongzhen really wants to give himself a few slaps now. Fortunately, he still trusted the officials before. These people impeached Yuan Chonghuan and others, so he really killed them!
this!
Creak!
Chongzhen was so angry that his fists were about to bleed. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "Lin Fan, since all the officials no longer want their salaries, then you can keep them all and recruit more royal guards to serve the country."
"Yes! Your Majesty, I have one more thing to say."
Lin Fan said.
"After all, as long as I can do it, I promise you!"
Chongzhen said.
"Your Majesty, I am recruiting the Jinyi Guards. I can make this weapon myself. However, do I need the Ministry of Industry to make the Jinyi Guards' flying fish suit for me?"
"Furthermore, no one has sent me the official uniform of the commander of the Jinyi Guard. What does the Ministry of Industry mean? Does it think that I, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, will not last long, so there is no need to make a flying fish uniform?"
Lin Fan said coldly, looking at Wei Shaude.
Gudu!
Wei Zhide couldn't help but swallowed. This was clearly aimed at him. You recruited Jin Yiwei, and you wanted to recruit 150,000 people!
There are only 20,000 Jinyiwei now. In other words, if you want to make 130,000 Feiyu suits, how much money will this cost?
Are you trying to attack the local tyrants?
"Ahem! Let me report back to Your Majesty, these flying fish suits have always been custom-made in the Jiangnan area. Nowadays, with thieves raging and the world not being peaceful, it is too difficult to order such a large number of flying fish suits. I have been dragging my feet!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, I will find the best tailor in the city to make your Feiyu suit later. I will definitely not delay you from wearing it!"
Wei Zhide coughed twice and said.
Lin Fan laughed and said: "Haha! Do you think I care about my clothes?
The Jin Yiwei represents His Majesty's face. If there are 150,000 Jin Yiwei and as many as 130,000 don't wear Feiyu uniforms, then does His Majesty still need his face?"
"This flying fish suit is the symbol of the Jin Yiwei. Without the flying fish suit, how could the peasant soldiers know that it was the Jin Yiwei, and how could they be frightened?"
Lin Fan muttered in his heart.
When Chongzhen heard this, he also felt that it made sense, and said in a deep voice: "Okay! Let the people from the Ministry of Industry solve the matter of Feiyu suit. I don't care what method you use. In short, we must make enough work as soon as possible."
Flying fish suit!"
this……
The officials of the Ministry of Industry were all stunned. His Majesty had already spoken, and they could only agree.
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Officials from the Ministry of Industry said in unison.
"My dear friends, do you have anything else to do?
If not, I will retreat from the court!"
Chongzhen said.
None of the officials spoke, and Chongzhen was too lazy to talk to them. He stood up and left. After Chongzhen left, Lin Fan glanced at the officials with disdain. These people must ransack all their homes, and the 70 million taels of silver must be in his hands.
"System, sign in here."
Lin Fan said.
This is the Hall of Supreme Harmony. If you sign in here, your chances of getting good things should be much greater.
Ding!
"Congratulations to the host, you signed in at the Hall of Supreme Harmony and received a Tiger and Leopard Riding Tiger Talisman."
kindness?
Tiger and leopard riding!
Isn't this Cao Cao's most awesome cavalry?
Different from the White Horse Yi Cong, this Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is a heavily armored cavalry. It may not be as fast as the White Horse Yi Cong in running long distances, but in terms of bravery, it is definitely first-rate.
However, there were already firearms in the Ming Dynasty, so the role of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was much reduced. Moreover, there are no Tiger and Leopard Cavalry now. What use can I get if I get this Tiger Talisman?
Tiger Talisman: Can control one hundred thousand tiger and leopard cavalry, and can convert any cavalry into tiger and leopard cavalry.
Grass!
That’s awesome!
This tiger talisman was custom-made for me. Now I don’t have one hundred thousand cavalry, but Wu Sangui does. His one hundred thousand soldiers can be called cavalry when mounted on horses!
No, we must bring Wu Sangui back. Otherwise, go to that idiot Chongzhen to discuss it, give him one million taels of silver, and ask him to bring Wu Sangui back?
As he said, Lin Fan left the Hall of Supreme Harmony and went to the Palace of Qianqing. At this time, Chongzhen was waiting for Wu Sangui's letter. After all, it had been two days since his letter was sent out, and no news had been sent back.
"Your Majesty, Prince Lin Fan is here."
Wang Chengen whispered in Chongzhen's ear.
"Well! He actually took the initiative to see me. Let him come in!"
Chongzhen said hurriedly.
Wang Chengen responded and went out to bring Lin Fan in.
"Lin Fan, you performed well in the Hall of Supreme Harmony just now. These officials just lack education. Regarding the Jin Yiwei, you need to recruit them quickly!"
"I will keep what I promised you before. I will not interfere in anything of this Jinyiwei!"
Chongzhen said in a deep voice.
Lin Fan said: "Your Majesty, I came to you this time to report something important. Even if the Jin Yiwei recruits 150,000 people in a short period of time, it will be difficult for them to form a combat effectiveness!"
"Now that the intruders are coming so fiercely, we should quickly mobilize Wu Sangui's 100,000 troops to defend the capital!"
"As for Wu Sangui's request for one million taels of silver as a means of departure, I also know about it. You can transfer it from the White Tiger Division first. The matter of my Jin Yiwei can be postponed for a while."
When Chongzhen heard what Lin Fan said, he couldn't help showing doubts. Didn't he say before that he would never give Wu Sangui one million taels of silver?
Otherwise, it will encourage his arrogance, and it will be difficult to deal with him if he has money.
Why did you agree to give money now?
Could it be that he felt that Jin Yiwei couldn't deal with Li Zicheng?
"Do you also think that I should give Wu Sangui some money to bring him back?"
Chongzhen asked.
"Haha! I don't care whether you give him money or not. As long as you transfer him back, I will be able to completely control this army of 100,000 people. I can kill that rebellious Wu Sangui directly!"
Lin Fan sneered in his heart.
"Your Majesty, safety is the most important thing in everything. After all, this is related to the safety of the capital. Not to mention one million taels of silver, even if it is two million taels, it is still worth it!"
Lin Fan said righteously and solemnly.
But Chongzhen's heart was stirred up by a storm. Lin Fan was actually confident that he could get the power of 100,000 soldiers from Wu Sangui!
this!
How can this be!
Wu Sangui has been leading the army for many years, and all the people in the army are his trusted subordinates. As long as he doesn't want to, even he can't make the 100,000-strong army surrender!
Moreover, why did he say that Wu Sangui was a rebel? Could it be that Wu Sangui would rebel?
this……
Wouldn’t the letter I wrote to Wu Sangui have the opposite effect?
I am really a fool. I just told Wu Sangui to take Chen Yuanyuan to Nanjing. Why did I say that Chen Yuanyuan should be canonized as a concubine?
