Chapter One and Three

The palace of the Ming Dynasty was very unfriendly to a person who had to work at the desk for long hours.

Summer is too hot, winter is too cold, and the world is leaky and humid.

Yun Zhao, who has been in the senior year in his previous life, has long gone through the process of looking good at pictures. Compared with comfort, those useless added values ​​are not attractive to him.

It's like wearing a silk shirt that looks good. You can try it in winter.

Yun Zhao has its own requirements for the office environment, sunny, ventilated, and the scenery outside the window is good!

And his large study room was built strictly in accordance with his requirements.

Especially the underfloor heating facilities under the floor of the large study room. Not only Yun Zhao likes it, but Yang Xiong also likes it. That's why he has an office to move a desk over when winter comes.

The secretarial supervisor saw that the county lord hadn't sent Yang Xiong away, so they followed suit. The end result was that everyone huddled together to work. Unexpectedly, after doing this, the efficiency improved a lot, and Yun Zhao just let it go.

The beautiful palace of King Qin is not without good rooms. Some are even luxurious. One of them is called the "Leopard Room", which is a paradise for men and women to play games.

What is the use of such a place for Yun Zhao?

Even if he wanted to do it secretly, Feng Ying and Qian Duoduo's tempers would not agree with him 80% of the time.

Therefore, they all exist as waste.

It's better to open the palace of Qin completely. The scholars of Daming like this set the most. They have a mysterious love for the king who denies himself and respects the public.

They even think that the best appearance of a king is to live the same life as Chongzhen and do the same life as Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of Tang Dynasty.

As for the humble, they are not important, they can live the life of the drunken scholars of the Song Dynasty, and they don't have to worry about being beheaded by the emperor.

Sure enough, after Yun Zhao abandoned the Qin Palace, everyone in Lantian County was happy, and even Xu Yuanshou, who had always been wise, was smiling.

After Dahongyou Zhu Cunji came to his house to eat that meal, his whole person changed, he became a little wandering, and he stayed in the Chunfeng Mingyue Tower for half a month.

When he was sent back by his mother, he was still drunk. The world thought he was distressed by the deprivation of his family property. Unexpectedly, he started to build his own Dahongxu Temple after he woke up from alcohol.

He also suggested to Yun Zhao that in the future, Lantian County's hospitality of foreign vassals will be handled by him.

Now that he had a job request, Yun Zhao readily agreed, allowing him to build the post of the Hongfu Temple in Yushan, and set aside 20,000 silver dollars!

Lantian County now needs to entertain many Pan-states, from the Usi Tibetans to the Mongols, to the Westerners who ride camels, and even the red-haired people from the far west.

Zhu Cunji likes to deal with the Uz Tibetans who are full of stench, and also likes to deal with Mongolians who wear a leather robe for a lifetime. Even when dealing with red-haired people, he can sing out a few Western words from time to time. , The whole person is radiant, different from the past.

Speaking of Zhu Cunji lost his fiefdom, lost most of the palace of the King of Qin, and also lost the title of King Qin who had no power for a long time, but his wealth has not diminished, judging by his large number of shops in Xi'an.

Within ten years, he could build another Qin Palace elsewhere.

Of course, this is just a statement.

After Li Hongji captured Luoyang and stopped there for half a month, he once again came to the city of Kaifeng.

This time, he had to face his old opponent Sun Chuanting.

It was this time that Emperor Chongzhen had been scolded by Emperor Chongzhen, and the punished King Zhou no longer continued to tolerate. He generously stated: "The city wall has fallen in, and there is no one. What's more, it's Jin Jin? Chenggou Debao, why shouldn't there be trouble? gold"?

Fu Wang's end strengthened Zhou Wang's confidence in fighting against Li Hongji's subordinates. He did not want his accumulated gold and silver to become Li Hongji's military assets.

As a result, tens of thousands of taels of silver were taken out from the treasury to reward the defending army, and a notice was posted, offering a reward for recruiting warriors, saying that anyone who can repel the peasant army will be rewarded with a reward of 100,000 taels of silver, and to recommend to the court to increase the ranks.

As soon as the money was scattered, the effect was immediately apparent, and the enthusiasm and morale of the soldiers and civilians defending the city was quickly stimulated.

The thieves attacked the city bravely, and the offensive wave after wave, the city wall of Kaifeng was blown down more than 20 places, but the defending army rolled wood and stone and hot oil arrows poured down, fighting hard and fighting, and quickly blocked the gap with sandbags. The thief army was unable to break into the city even after paying the price of tragic casualties.

Sun Chuanting, who was guerrillating outside the city, took the opportunity to ambush Luo Rucai who was preparing to attack Kaifeng City from the left and right in Helongtan. This battle defeated Luo Rucai's 50,000 thieves who fought and beheaded countless.

Li Hongji saw that the city of Kaifeng was too late to be defeated, and Luo Rucai was defeated and Longtan again, so he had to lead his men and retreat to Luoyang.

Two attacks to open the seal, but neither time went well, which made Li Hongji extremely jealous of Kaifeng City.

King Zhou was lucky to win, but King Chu, who was in Wuchang, was not so lucky.

The death of Fu Wang Zhu Changxun was so miserable that he was responsible for the extermination of Li Hongji, and Zhang Bingzhong's important court minister Yang Sichang could not escape the crime.

Hearing that Li Hongji had entered Kaifeng again, Yang Sichang was frightened, and six days later, he died of illness in Shashi.

When Wang Wenzhen, Zuo Liangyu, and He Renlong saw Zhang Bingzhong's thieves' force once again in full force, they had to retreat to Wuchang.

After reading the military newspaper, Yun Zhao looked at Qian Shaoshao and said, "Do we have business dealings with King Chu?"

Qian Shaoshao's eyes rolled for a moment and said, "Brother-in-law, do you think King Chu will be finished this time?"

Yun Zhao whispered: "There are more evils than good luck."

Qian Shaoshao said, "It's a pity that the king of Chu has accumulated a million gold beads."

Yun Zhao said: "It's all people's anointing, take it back."

"The Yueyang team is handling this matter. However, this king of Chu and King Fu are the same, and I heard that they are also unscrupulous people."

Yun Zhao thought about it for a while and said, "Leave it to Da Hongxun to handle it. Tell him that King Chu has only one chance to trade."

"The same one hundred thousand taels of gold?"

Yun Zhao nodded and said, "Yes, I can't help King Chu's life without being missing."

There is absolutely no harm to Zhu Cunji to do this kind of thing.

As the former Daming clan, he was more familiar with the king of Chu who was also the clan.

At the same time, he was also most familiar with the mentality of King Fu and King Chu who refused to pay to help the court resist thieves.

Speaking of which, these vassals in other places did not have much gratitude to the Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, they were more angry, perhaps because they had been angry for too long, and they slowly thought that they were outsiders.

The home world created by Zhu Yuanzhang gave the people of the world the greatest feeling that the prosperity and decline of the country has nothing to do with individuals. This world is the world of the emperor, not the world of the people.

Therefore, to count on these people to defend their homes and nations is a complete joke.

If you want to motivate them to fight, there is only one thing that works-that is silver.

Whenever the Ming Dynasty was able to fight and dared to fight, the army was piled up with silver, including the Qi’s army and the Baigan army. Those simple people would not hold their heads if they were not in order to make more money. On the battlefield.

The princes who had been wandering outside of the power center of Ming Dynasty naturally thought the same way.

The thieves came to attack the city, it was the responsibility of the local officers and soldiers, and it had nothing to do with them.

This led to the disintegration of the family that Zhu Yuanzhang thought back then. Not only did the vassals fail to be the emperor's help, they also became the biggest drag on the court.

It should be understood that the money spent to feed millions of vassals is far more expensive than to feed a million army.

The current Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty can get some silver to feed the Liaodong soldiers and some general soldiers. After the emperor can no longer afford to pay, the end of the Ming Dynasty will also come.

Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong only captured the area of ​​the Ming Dynasty, but Yun Zhao captured the Ming Dynasty to win people's hearts.

Comparing the two, Yun Zhao seemed harmless. In fact, just like many of the foresighted treacherous officials of the Ming Dynasty, Yun Zhao was the most dangerous enemy of the Ming Dynasty.

His soldiers do not leave the pass, but his name has spread all over the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Although he has always paid taxes to the emperor with a low eyebrow, Lantian County's name of wealth has already become famous all over the world.

The officials in Guanzhong have forgotten that there is also Emperor Ming in this world.

The same court has treated them as rebellious. For so many years, not only have they not paid any salaries, but they have not even been promoted, reprimanded, or become officials in different places.

Therefore, these officials also spontaneously believe that ~www.readwn.com~ Now, the object of their allegiance is Yun Zhao.

Because in the past ten years or so, the person who distributed their salaries was Yun Zhao, and the person in charge of their promotion and reprimand was Yun Zhao. At this time, Yun Zhao had already become a veritable king of Guanzhong!

Zhu Cunji was extremely excited to participate in such a high-level meeting in Lantian County for the first time.

Many of the confusions suddenly became clear after listening to the speeches of the senior officials present.

At this meeting, Zhu Cunji learned of a real Lantian County.

He knew that the border monument in Guanzhong was heading towards Chongqing secretly. He knew that the army of Ningxia Town had begun to move slowly eastward, and within three months, the vast area from Lantian City to Ningxia Town would be included in the Lantian County Government. under.

He also knew that the only purpose of Yunfu's army stationed at Zijing Pass was to wait for the fall of Wuchang, so as to further enclose the Nanyang Plain in his arms.

At the end of the meeting, he finally knew the real reason why he participated in this meeting-with one hundred thousand catties of gunpowder, two thousand cannons, he returned from the king of Chu in exchange for one hundred thousand taels of gold.

At the conference, Zhu Cunji first affirmed that it is not difficult for the King of Chu to take out one hundred thousand taels of gold, and then told everyone present to ask the King of Chu to use one hundred thousand taels of gold to buy weapons to help Zuo Liangyu, He Renlong and others. Guarding Wuchang, there is no possibility at all.

"If you don't take out gold to buy your life, it would be a death!"

Yun Zhaoyan ended the meeting concisely and at the same time ordered Qian Shaoshao to help Zhu Cunji complete the task.

After Zhu Cunji left the venue, he convened a meeting with the Zhu clan. The topic of the meeting was only one, how could he use the one hundred thousand catties of gunpowder given by the county lord and two thousand cannons in exchange for one hundred thousand taels of gold from the king of Chu.

This was Zhu Cunji's first real participation in Lantian County's politics. He hoped that he could achieve success and fully integrate into Lantian County by this.
