Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 103 What a big rat

Having said that, people with bright minds like Shi Yigong are indeed relatively rare among uneducated people.

If he was really allowed to plant the land for a lifetime, Zhu Cihong would feel that he had buried him.

"Well, that's right. You answered the questions fluently. It seems that you have some ability." Zhu Cihong commented on Shi Yigong.

"Is there a small banner officer for the third small banner?" Zhang Peilun asked the officer of the Jinwu Vanguard next to him.

"Your Majesty, not yet, because there are too many small banner officers, so we are going to wait for all the soldiers to arrive, and select elite and capable people to serve as small banner officers during the training process."

"Well, this Shi Yigong is capable. Let him be the third flag officer." Zhu Cihong opened his golden mouth, and Shi Yigong changed from a soldier to an officer.

Don't look at him who has only been promoted to one level. You must know that there are tens of millions of people in the army. If you can be promoted to one level, you don't know how many people you have trampled under your feet.

Even in the modern age where seniority can be promoted through qualifications, there are countless people who waste a promotion, but can't get promoted no matter what.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will never forget your kindness." Shi Yigong never dreamed that he would be appreciated by the emperor.

At this moment, he felt that his ancestral grave was not only emitting smoke, but was about to explode.

"Well, from now on you should train well with your fellow soldiers, fight the enemy with all your strength on the battlefield, and serve the emperor." Zhu Cixi changed the wording. He did not say serve the imperial court, but asked him to serve the emperor.

Compared with the imperial court, the emperor is more specific. There is only one emperor, but the imperial court does not know that there are tens of millions of people. It is too abstract for uneducated soldiers.

Zhu Cixiang felt that they should always remember the emperor and Zhu Cixiong in their hearts, so that they could be more loyal.

Just like the Japanese pirates during World War II, they shouted "Tian Nao Hei Ka" all day long and then charged onboard, instead of shouting about some illusory country, nation, and court.

Those people seemed to have been brainwashed and were extremely loyal to their emperor. From the bottom of his heart, Zhu Cihong envied that.

He also wants his emperor's order to be the highest standard of life for all the subjects in the thousands of miles of land, so that everyone will forget the pain and even death because of his order.

"Yes, for Your Majesty, I will throw my head and blood. Even if you let me go up the mountain of swords and into the sea of ​​fire, I will not even blink my eyebrows." Shi Yigong said every word from the bottom of his heart.

"You guys have a good rest here, I'm leaving first." Zhu Cihong came to the barracks this trip to see all the places, it is impossible to just chat with these big soldiers.

But seeing Shi Yigong's fanatical gaze towards him, Zhu Cihong felt that he could try to brainwash these big soldiers and make them extremely loyal to him.

However, the means of brainwashing can only be supplementary. Zhu Cihong still remembers a sentence he learned in middle school class, which is called "matter determines consciousness".

He thinks it is more appropriate to use a more practical term, that is, "as long as the money is in place, I can do any posture."

So if you want the soldiers to be extremely loyal to you, the key depends on whether you are happy enough with your money.

Zhu Cihong felt that if he was like his dead ghost father Chongzhen, who would not even be willing to reward him for knocking down the door, then it would be fine if those big soldiers didn't draw their knives to chop him.

After thinking about it, Zhu Cihong came to Jinwuwei's granary with a large group of civil and military officials accompanying him.

Because the four Jinwu Guards were not formed at the same time and had a sequential relationship, the granary of the Jinwu Guards was built first at the Jinwu Vanguard.

"How much grain can this granary hold?" Zhu Cihong said, pointing to the tall building of the granary.

Ambassador Cang heard Zhu Cihong's question, so he hurried up to Zhu Cihong and said, "Your Majesty, this warehouse can hold rice, grain, and ten thousand stones."

Hearing Ambassador Cang's answer, Zhu Cixiang was quite satisfied. He could clearly understand the situation of the department under his jurisdiction, which was enough for a Cang Ambassador.

"Open the granary, I want to take a look."

Zhu Cixiang suddenly asked to open the granary, which frightened the granary ambassador so much that he broke into a cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, don't look at this granary. The grain inside is well preserved. If you open it rashly, the grain will get wet, or some insects, snakes and mice will get in." Ambassador Cang tried his best to dissuade Zhu Cihong from opening the granary.

But the more he said this, the more Zhu Cixiang wanted to open up.

"No, open it for me immediately." He suspected that the granary ambassador had a ghost, otherwise how could he stop himself from looking at the granary.

After Zhu Cihong said this, before Cang Ambassador led his subordinates to open the gate of the granary, the imperial guards who accompanied Zhu Cihong stepped forward and forcibly opened the gate.

However, an astonishing scene appeared. Originally, Zhu Cihong had prepared himself for the empty space in front of him, but found that the grain piled up in the granary was almost flowing out.

Ambassador Cang saw that the food in the granary was intact and there was no shortage, and his danger was relieved, so he smiled triumphantly and said to Zhu Cihong.

"Your Majesty, look, everything in the granary is fine, you are worrying too much."

How could this happen? Since there was no problem with the granary, why did he stop me from opening the granary and take a look?It was so strange, Zhu Cihong couldn't understand it.

Suddenly, Zhu Cihong thought of a plot that was very similar to his present.

It was a movie that Zhu Cixi watched in college before he traveled through time. Coincidentally, the movie was set in the late Ming Dynasty, and one of the characters was Sun Chuanting.

In the 15th year of Chongzhen, Sun Chuanting was released from the prison by Chongzhen, and went to Shaanxi to train troops with the supervisor, hoping to fight Li Zicheng.

Once he came to the granary, and like Zhu Cihong, he was also blocked by the treasury officials, but he insisted on going in and no one could stop him, and found that the grain was neatly arranged inside.

As a result, when he pulled out the knife, what came out of the bag was not rice, but sand. Only then did he realize that there was only a layer of skin left in the entire granary.

Zhu Cihong felt that the Ambassador Cang in front of him was playing this trick with him.

Hearing what Ambassador Cang said, Zhu Cihong ignored him and walked in by himself.

When Ambassador Cang and others saw Zhu Cihong walking in, they had no choice but to follow him. After all, Zhu Cihong was the monarch and they were ministers.

Walking casually to a stack of grain, Zhu Cilang drew out the sword at his waist and stabbed at the cloth bag several times in succession, until he pierced a big hole in the bag before stopping.

What happened next left everyone dumbfounded. There was no rice or even straw flowing out of the bag, only endless yellow sand falling on the ground like a waterfall.

"What else do you have to say?" Zhu Cihong stared fiercely at Ambassador Cang's oily face and said.
