They had actually heard about Emperor Taizu's apparition before, but the rumor was so mysterious that they basically didn't believe it.
However, when Yuan Zhuangfei said it at this time, it further proved that this was actually true. It would be strange if they were not shocked!
This is not an ordinary ancestor’s apparition, but Emperor Taizu! That rebellious ancestor started out as a beggar and a monk, and finally expelled the Tartars, creating the foundation of the Ming Dynasty!
If Emperor Taizu really manifested his spirit, let alone hundreds of thousands of captives, no matter how many captives there were, they couldn't be the opponent of Emperor Taizu, right?
Of course, none of them believed Yuan Zhuangfei's words completely.
No, after He Jin came to his senses, he still said in disbelief: "Why do I feel that you still don't believe what you said? Emperor Taizu showed his spirit and conjured up so many strong armors for you?
One hundred thousand, right? I’ve never heard of any emperor who manifested gods in this way!”
"Stupid, Emperor Taizu only needs to give him a cornucopia!" Ma Shouying immediately retorted after hearing this.
When He Jin heard this, he was speechless. If he really had to give a treasure like a cornucopia, let alone just throw in a piece of armor, and then he could take out countless armors continuously!
But after Yuan Zhuangfei heard this, he smiled and shook his head and said: "No, Emperor Taizu appeared and gave the emperor a treasure that can communicate with immortals. This treasure has been hanging in the sachet on the emperor's chest. I
I’ve seen them all with my own eyes!”
After a pause, in the surprised eyes of Ma Shouying and others, he continued: "My brother has been to the Military War Bureau. These armors and ordnance are all made by the Military War Bureau. In short, according to my
According to my brother, there are many immortals in the War Bureau who have told the emperor about transformation methods. You can also understand them as immortal arts. Therefore, the armor and weapons are all of high quality and are continuously produced. It is said to be a cornucopia. Although it is an exaggeration, it is also true.
Not much different!”
Either he talked about it, or it was a rare occasion to show off. Yuan Zhuangfei was very talkative and continued to say to them without waiting for them to ask questions: "Let me tell you, I didn't believe it at first. But,
Really, if you haven’t seen it with your own eyes, the changes in the past year are really huge! After the emperor received the guidance of the immortal, he changed even more. I will tell you about it, and you will know!"
"Smallpox knows..."
"You know about pimple disease..."
"..."
In the lobby, everyone forgot about the rich food in front of them. Even Lin Chengcheng, who had already heard it once, listened attentively to what Yuan Zhuangfei was saying.
The expressions on their faces unconsciously changed according to what they heard, but they didn't notice it themselves.
In fact, what Yuan Zhuangfei said was so surprising and shocking to them!
"...Also, as for corrupt officials, I believe you have also heard that the emperor was merciless and punished many people. Many of them had their homes confiscated and executed!" Yuan Zhuangfei seemed particularly excited about this, "The original chief executive
Fu, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, and even Duke Cheng Guo are all being questioned. Haha, the money and food confiscated from their houses can support us to have a strong army! By the way..."
Speaking of this, he looked at Ma Shouying and others and said: "Most people don't know. Only the emperor knows why the Jianlu can wreak havoc in the pass. It's because someone is spreading the news and smuggling military supplies, food, grass, etc. to Liaodong Jian." It was only because of the captives that the calamity of building captives came later..."
He kept saying whatever he was thinking, until his mouth was dry and his throat felt like he was going hoarse. Then he came to his senses, went to the table to get a wine bottle, and started blowing on it.
It was also at this time that several loyal listeners came back to their senses. They looked at each other and could see each other's shock.
Unexpectedly, in just one year, the imperial court has undergone such great changes!
Although all this sounds very abnormal, if you add in the appearance of Emperor Taizu, then all the abnormalities will become reasonable again!
Think about it, Emperor Taizu killed so many corrupt officials back then! The emperor's actions now are not as good as those of Emperor Taizu back then!
What do Ma Shouying and others like the most after hearing the news about Yuan Zhuangfei?
It was Emperor Chongzhen who confiscated the homes of corrupt officials, and they were the happiest to hear it!
However, He Jin still had doubts. Seeing Yuan Zhuangfei wiping his mouth after drinking, he asked doubtfully: "Since the court has changed greatly now, and there are so many strong troops, why not go south? You said so much , couldn’t they all be made up? The imperial court has limited troops, so they thought of recruiting us again.”
"Yes, you said that the casualties in the Jizhou battle were so few that they can be ignored, but aren't most of the imperial officers and soldiers still new recruits?" He Yilong also followed with doubts, "Those are Jianlu, they have never been defeated before. Yes, it must be very powerful. Are you exaggerating?"
After hearing this, Yuan Zhuangfei didn't pay attention to their doubts. He just shook his head and said: "Thanks to you, you have fought too many battles. Do you think that with Jizhou Bo's ability, he will put the new soldiers at the forefront of the battle against Jianlu? Jizhou The battle of the state is decided in one battle. The Jianlu troops were defeated like a mountain. They are also human beings. The Mongols fled first. What other tricks can they do if they are all defeated? "
Having said this, he looked at He Jin and replied: "Now Jizhou Bo is in Kaifeng, leading troops and escorting Jianlu prisoners to build the Yellow River dam. He is a serious Jianlu, you guys go and see You will know just by looking at it. In addition, it is not difficult for the imperial court to eliminate you. The first priority is to restore people's livelihood and restore peace to the people so that they can live a good life!"
After hearing this, He Jin and others looked at each other with surprise on their faces. They felt that the imperial court's policy was really different from before.
"Also, I'm not afraid to tell you that the imperial court is currently expanding its troops in Kaifeng, and the troops under the governor of Baoding are also being reorganized. After these two reorganizations are completed, the imperial court will have an additional 100,000 strong troops!" Yuan Zhuangfei said Here, he patted his chest again and said, "Why do I dare to come? It's because I have the confidence, and it's for your own good. After this point, if I really have to wait until the imperial army goes south, it will be even harder to be recruited. Why? My brother can rise to great heights, the timing of this recruitment is very important..."
Probably because he was getting drunk, Yuan Zhuangfei obviously talked too much and started talking nonsense again.
When talking about the latter part, Yuan Zhuangfei lowered his voice, seemed a little mysterious, and said to them in a low voice: "Let me tell you another secret! My brother heard this from Uncle Jizhou, and people outside still... have no idea……"
Upon hearing this, Ma Shouying and others were all curious, so they involuntarily turned sideways and listened to the little secret.
Yuan Zhuangfei said to them: "Our Majesty, our ambition is to conquer the world, so we don't want to hurt our vitality too much!"
"..." He Yilong was speechless and asked a little puzzled, "Why do you want to be in the world? Doesn't this world belong to his emperor?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhuangfei glanced at him sideways and said with a bit of disdain: "I know you are all frogs in the well. Do you know which world your Majesty is thinking of?"
"What other world can there be?" He Yilong was a little unconvinced and immediately replied, "Isn't there just one world?"
Yuan Zhuangfei chuckled, with a bit of contempt, and then said to him: "Do you know what the earth is? Do you know which corner of the earth our Ming Dynasty is? The world your majesty refers to is the entire earth, do you understand?"
"..." He Yilong and others were dumbfounded after hearing this. What does this mean?
Ma Shouying came back to his senses and asked tentatively: "The current emperor's world refers to places other than the Ming Dynasty, such as the Western Regions and so on?"
When Yuan Zhuangfei heard this, he pointed at him and said with a smile: "By the way, your Majesty's world is everyone's world, including Mongolia, Western Yi, etc."
"hiss……"
In the lobby, there was a sudden gasp of air.
He Yilong and others never expected that the Ming Dynasty would be in such chaos, but the emperor's eyes would be on the entire real world?
He Jin came back to his senses and said a little disapprovingly: "This is too militaristic. It's not a waste of money and people, it's the people who suffer..."
"Are you stupid?" He Yilong was very interested and immediately scolded He Jin and said, "We soldiers, if we don't fight, how can we get military merit? From a guerrilla to becoming a lord and a general, we just lack military merit.
good?"
When He Jin heard this, he wanted to refute, but Yuan Zhuangfei spoke first: "What do you know! Do you think that foreign countries are all barbarian lands with nothing? Let me tell you, I don't even know how many gold and silver mines there are! No!
To talk about other things, I just want to talk about a while ago. You know, no one knew where there was a gold mine in Zhangjiakou, but the emperor knew it and directly captured those second-rate prisoners of war and dug it!"
"Is this what Emperor Taizu ordered?" Lin Chengcheng asked in surprise when he heard this.
Yuan Zhuangfei had not told him the following news before.
Yuan Zhuangfei nodded, looked at the people present and said: "In short, let me tell you, don't look at the ferocious quarrels you are making now. Once the imperial court has sorted out the officers and soldiers in each place, it will be easy to deal with you! You guys
Ah, if we don’t recruit people at this time, how long will we have to wait? Isn’t it nice to expand the territory and make a wife and son?”
There is no future for rebellion, and people who lick blood from the edge of a knife naturally yearn for the success of opening up territories and expanding the territory. If they have a wife and a son, the ancestral graves will smoke!
Therefore, after Yuan Zhuangfei finished speaking, these people here were all moved.
At this time, Lin Chengcheng's bodyguard reported outside that one of Zhang Xianzhong's four adopted sons, Zhang Wenxiu, wanted to see him.
