Chapter 77
When Hu Guang heard this, he was not very angry. If he wanted to argue with this kind of person, he would be like him.Wait a few more days to see him cry!
Seeing that Hu Guang didn't answer him, Ma Fugui seemed to be a little more arrogant, so he said again: "Don't think that you will be fine if you are in the capital. My family is also rich and powerful in the north, as long as I ask someone to tell you, I can force you to live or die! Dead monk, dare to leave your temple name?"

Hu Guang was so angry and funny when he heard this, he even dared to threaten himself, and immediately replied: "Okay, I live in the Forbidden City, come here if I have the ability, and see how I can't survive or die!"

"..." Ma Fugui was speechless, and then sneered, "Tell the truth if you have the guts, and return the Forbidden City? You think you are the emperor!"

Hey, I really am the emperor!Hu Guang thought about it, and when he was about to speak, Ruhua's clear and sweet voice was tinged with anxiety: "Little monk, don't tell the truth, he is talking about the Shanxi merchant Fan's family, you can't offend him, don't tell the truth !"

Fan family of Shanxi merchants?Hu Guang was very sensitive to the term Shanxi Merchants, and a name flashed in his mind immediately, and he couldn't help asking: "The Fan family is Fan Yongdou?"

After he finished speaking, he thought it shouldn't be such a coincidence!

Unexpectedly, when Nama Fugui heard this, he said triumphantly: "Hehe, be afraid! Fan Yongdou is my son's family friend uncle. When he came to my Suzhou, he was very polite to my father. As long as my son said something, he would take care of him." Can't you be a little monk? If you have the guts to leave the name of the temple, don't talk about it for me, you won't even make up nonsense, return the Forbidden City!"

Sure enough, it was Fan Yongdou, who was also in contact with the Great Salt Merchant in Suzhou!Hu Guang thought about it, but when he was about to speak, he heard some movement, so he quit the chat group.

"Your Majesty, Man Zongbing asks for an audience!" Gao Shiyue bowed beside him and played.

After hearing this, Hu Guang looked outside the city, only to realize that the Jianlu who had been attacking the city had already retreated into the distance when he was distracted.

So, he turned his head to look at Gao Shiyue, and told him, "Xuan!"

After a while, the sound of clanging armor came along with the sound of footsteps, and the sturdy Man Gui appeared on the watchtower, knelt down on one knee, and played loudly: "The last general Man Gui has seen my emperor, long live, long live, long live! "

"Pingshen!" Hu Guang waved his hand and asked with a smile, "How is the war going?"

What he wants to ask is obviously not the process, but the casualties on both sides.Man Gui naturally knew this, stood up and replied: "Jianlu Mangguertai's troops rushed forward, as if they wanted to grab merit, underestimated the enemy, and were repelled by the last general, killing about 830 Jianlu men in armor. , thousands of people were injured. Our army killed 59 people, seriously injured [-] people, and slightly injured more than [-] people."

If it were someone else, they would definitely not say the real reason why the Jianlu war was unfavorable, but would say something like relying on the emperor's blessings and relying on his majesty's majesty, and credit the credit to the emperor.

Man Gui's personality also led him to start from a small soldier, and finally made it to today step by step with his military achievements that cannot be ignored.If it were someone else, with his ability, I'm afraid he would have been the pillar of the army long ago.

Zhou Yanru on the side listened, full of joy, immediately bowed and played: "Congratulations, congratulations to your majesty, our army has won a great victory. This is caused by your majesty's Longwei, which made Jianlu..."

With a wave of his hand, Hu Guang interrupted his flattery directly, and then just looked at Man Gui, and said calmly: "The casualties of the defenders are greater than the casualties of the siege. What can Man Qing do to change it?"

"Ding, the achievement value is +1, it comes from the commander-in-chief!"

Hu Guang was taken aback by the unexpected prompt, but he immediately realized that it should be his reaction just now combined with Mangui's character, which made him feel admirable.Ha ha, Man Gui is really real, I have always been very pragmatic!
I saw Mangui's serious face, against the background of Zhou Yanru's embarrassment, he replied loudly: "Your Majesty is wise, the city defense is insufficiently prepared, the Beijing camp lacks training, and most of them are old and weak, the weapons are not good, and the morale is low. More reasons than besieging cities and building captives.”

"The last general will strictly enforce the military order, deploy the city defenses, and prevent Jianlu from taking advantage of it." Man Gui said here, and immediately said a little angrily, "The last general just did a little random inspection and found that more than half of the firearms in the army are dead. It is a defective product. The city defense equipment has been urged many times, and it is far from what is needed. There are also casualties in the army, and the general does not know how to pay for it? If the general insists on forcing them with strict military law, it may damage morale."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he directly complained to the Ministry of Industry, the Internal Supervisory Bureau, and the Beijing Camp, and asked for a pension by the way. If it were someone else, he might not be able to do this kind of thing, and he would be full.

Hu Guang approved of his attitude, nodded immediately and said: "I will help you solve all these, what else is there?"

"There are not enough guards in the city, and His Majesty ordered the people to fill them. Among them, the slaves of the various houses will be suppressed insufficiently, so they will not listen to the orders of the general!"

When Hu Guang heard this, he couldn't help shouting slightly angrily: "Could it be that the Shangfang sword I gave you is a vegetarian?"

The reason why Man Gui specifically proposed this is because these slaves are not ordinary people, but the slaves of all the famous people in the capital.No matter how straight-tempered he is, he still has some scruples in the face of such a giant power.

After Hu Guang scolded, he frowned slightly, and he could understand Man Gui's difficulties, and immediately added: "In this way, Dongchang will arrange the matter of people's strength. You only need to tell Dongchang how many people you want. What are the requirements, and then the Dongchang will randomly select personnel from various prefectures and ordinary people to use them for you. Those who dare to declare themselves and use their power to do so will be rewarded with merit, and the crime of no merit will be added. If there is arrogance Those who are not inferior, you will rule them with military law! And sign up to me, and I will punish the master for not teaching his slaves!"

When Man Gui heard that His Majesty considered him so much, and that this policy could also strictly restrain the servants of the various prefectures, he couldn't help admiring him, and immediately agreed.

"Ding, the achievement value is +1, it comes from the commander-in-chief!"

When Hu Guang heard the system prompt, he couldn't help but feel very regretful. The achievement value of a person's contribution is limited. It is estimated that an honest person like Man Gui will be drained by himself just like Cao Huachun.

Man Gui was moved in his heart, and immediately played again: "Among the Jian captives, the slave chieftain Huang Taiji is the most difficult to deal with. The next attack will be fiercer than before. In the end, he will be afraid of accidentally injuring His Majesty and other civil and military officials. Therefore, I beg Your Majesty to leave the city."

He didn't want such a good emperor to have any surprises, and regardless of the emperor's previous rejection of his proposal, he once again advised him.

This time, Hu Guang didn't object, he followed the good advice, nodded immediately and said: "Okay!"

During the siege battle, the head of the city was obviously no joke.The reason why I came here this time is mainly to let the wage earners under my command come to see Jianlu's cruelty, the consequences of having no money, and if the goal is achieved, then that's fine.
