The Counterattack of the Villains in the Movie World

Chapter 102 Shameless courtier Zhao Wuji
Private visits in microservices were the favorite things of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty. Before that, there was a record of Kangxi’s private visits in microservices, and later, Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River six times.

All in all, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty felt as if they didn't like staying in the Forbidden City at all. This may be one of the reasons why Puyi had to buy tickets when he wanted to go back later.

Although it was the first time for Wu Yan to follow Emperor Xianfeng on a private visit, his experience was not much different from the first- and second-class guards in other guards, because Emperor Xianfeng succeeded to the throne last year, and now it is the first year of Xianfeng in 1851. It was also Xianfeng's first incognito private visit after becoming emperor.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, although there are some old people in the guards, there are not many holy relatives.

And Wu Yan was considered Emperor Xianfeng's confidant because of Seng Gelinqin's relationship, so he was "fortunate" to be by his side with Emperor Xianfeng's personal eunuch.

"Why are there so many beggars on this street?"

Emperor Xianfeng frowned with an unhappy expression.

I don't know if he was unhappy because his subordinates failed to drive away all the beggars to whitewash the peace when he came out, or if he was really unhappy because of the suffering of the people's livelihood.

The eunuch next to him immediately said: "The servant immediately arranged for people to drive them out."

What he said seemed to be level-headed, but it was actually very level-headed. At this time, if the eunuch wanted to keep the emperor's favor, there was absolutely nothing wrong with being stupid.

I am not afraid that you are not capable, but I am afraid that your heart is higher than the sky.

Emperor Xianfeng really just reprimanded slightly, and then said: "I am asking you why, not asking you to solve the problem. What ability do you have to solve this problem?"

The eunuch pleaded guilty, and the other guards did not dare to intervene, pretending to observe the surrounding situation, ready to pounce on Emperor Xianfeng to block the knife.

Wu Yan didn't want to speak either, he was still hesitating whether to kill Emperor Xianfeng directly.

Although it is very simple to kill, he can easily retreat outside the palace, and even no one will find out that he did it, but if he is really killed, the world will definitely be in chaos.

Emperor Xianfeng has no son yet. His eldest son, the later Emperor Tongzhi, was born in 1856 and became emperor at the age of five. This is why Emperor Tongzhi's biological mother, Cixi, was able to take power and supervise the country.

But this does not mean that Seng Gelinqin, the county king, will be able to ascend the throne. Although Emperor Xianfeng has no sons, he has eight brothers.Although three had died, three were young, and one was adopted by Emperor Jiaqing's third son, there was still one who was qualified to inherit the throne.

Wu Yan may not be able to get the merit of Conglong. If Emperor Xianfeng's other brother is really killed, then the living sons and grandsons of Emperor Jiaqing will definitely have ideas.

After thinking about it, Wu Yan decided to continue to let Emperor Xianfeng live well for the time being.

As soon as there was an agreement here, Emperor Xianfeng asked: "Zhao Wuji, you come from the people, tell me, why are there so many beggars?"

Although the guards next to him didn't make things difficult for Wu Yan because of Seng Gelinqin, they naturally had a lot of dissatisfaction in their hearts.Hearing Emperor Xianfeng's roll call at this time, they were all ready to laugh.

This question is very difficult to answer. To tell the truth, Emperor Xianfeng must be unhappy, and to tell lies, Emperor Xianfeng will be even more unhappy.Companion to a monarch is like companion to a tiger. If one word is careless, there will be no way to advance, and if it is serious, you will be punished and reduced to a prisoner.

When Wu Yan was named, he naturally replied directly, "Because of the beggar gang."

Not to mention that Emperor Xianfeng was stunned, the guards and eunuchs with pricked ears were also stunned.

Why didn't Zao Wou-ki play his cards according to the routine?

Emperor Xianfeng said as he walked: "Go on, if you don't speak clearly, then you, the number one scholar, may end up in the same fate as the second place."

At this time, the Su family's favoritism and fraud have been exposed, and the house was ransacked just like what Wu Yan said before.The father and son of the Su family, who were lucky enough to survive, were also suppressed by the people arranged by Seng Gelinqin at this time. They had already fallen into the streets and were about to join the beggar gang.

Wu Yan said solemnly: "My lord, you can know that the Beggar Gang is known as the largest gang in the world, and there are more than ten million disciples in the gang."

It is also Xianfeng's confession that Weifu privately calls you the son, and Wu Yan is also willing not to call himself a slave.

Emperor Xianfeng, like many emperors, questioned moodily: "Are I asking you, or are you asking me?"

Wu Yan is also the cause of modern people's thinking, and he hastily pleaded guilty and continued: "The beggar gang does not do production, and needs to beg for food, clothing, housing and transportation, but whoever's money is not hard-earned, how could he be willing to take it easy? What about charity? For this reason, the beggar gang is also unscrupulous, not to mention oppressing the good, but also hiding the filth, and often doing illegal things."

"When I went to Guangdong and Guangxi with the king...my uncle, most of the gangsters I met were the children of the beggar gang. They held a broken bowl with a stick. They were ordinary beggars. They were the children of the beggar gang secretly. , you can turn into a bandit and plunder wantonly with knives and guns, more than half of the beggars in the long-haired army."

Emperor Xianfeng's face was ugly when he heard it. He had also heard the news, but he didn't pay attention to it before.

Wu Yan continued: "Beggars are lazy and have no ambition to make progress. If you want to rely on them to succeed, you can only rely on their numbers. I have personally seen a restaurant run by a kind family, because they were unwilling to give alms to the beggars for protection. Fei, the beggar gang gathered disciples to surround the restaurant. The beggars are dirty, how can the guests go to the restaurant to eat again? After the owner of the restaurant reported to the government, although the government arrested a group, there was no food for them. The beggars have food and drink in the cell, and the conditions are better than theirs outside, so there is no way to deter them."

"There are countless such facts. The gang of beggars who have tasted the benefits will vigorously develop disciples. Beggars who do not want to join the gang will be beaten to death by them. If there are no beggars left, they will use all means to create beggars. After the family business, others are forced to be beggars, and except for the high-level beggars, the money comes and goes quickly, so they will be beggars for the rest of their lives."

After finishing the preparation, Wu Yan finally got to the point and said: "Although there are some beggars who are unwilling to do evil, how many ordinary people can support the tens of millions of beggars? Once there is a disaster year, even if there are Is it the beggars that can be saved by the government’s disaster relief, or the ordinary people who pay taxes on time and according to the amount, but end up losing their livelihood because of the disaster?”

Emperor Xianfeng stopped in his tracks, stood where he was and started to be in a daze.

The ordinary people walking towards them were also emptied by the guards, and even the entire street was emptied out in order not to attract attention.

Wu Yan, who has said something, does not need to do these things, and no one dares to let him do these things now.

Emperor Xianfeng, who was stunned for a while, suddenly asked: "Zhao Wuji, do you know how many troops our Qing Dynasty has now?"

Wu Yan naturally shook his head and replied that he didn't know.

Emperor Xianfeng turned around, looked at Zhao Wuji and said, "The green battalion has 70 troops, and the remaining 50 soldiers have a total of 120 million battle-ready soldiers."

Is this more or less?

Wu Yan still doesn't know much about these things, but considering the number of beggar gangs and the population at this time has exceeded 4 million, this number is still a bit too small.

After all, this is still an era where cold weapons are the mainstay, and gun-based wars will take two to 30 years.

It is normal for the newly promoted military champion to not know how many soldiers and horses there are in the court. Only real court officials know about this kind of thing. What do other people want to do when they inquire about this kind of thing?

Emperor Xianfeng continued: "I am already stretched to raise 120 million soldiers and horses. How much money do you think it takes to raise tens of millions of people?"

Isn't that what I'm asking?
Before Wu Yan could answer, Emperor Xianfeng said again: "Is there any king in the world? These beggars are sucking my blood."

No, no, you don't really think that there are so many beggars because of what I said, do you?

I just want you to help complete the main mission.

Wu Yan immediately fell to his knees and said, "I am willing to share your majesty's worries and problems."

Although it is said that men have gold under their knees, modern people should not kneel, but the situation is different.

If you really don't kneel, then you can only start with a knife, kill until the end of time, blood flow like a river, either Wu Yan will die or Wu Yan will die.

Zod's character card is not permanent, even if Ye Gucheng's character card is permanent, it is useless when the whole world is an enemy. It will give the western powers a chance.

Emperor Xianfeng looked down at Wu Yan with a majestic expression, and asked, "How are you going to solve the beggar gang for me, Zhao Wuji?"

Kill half, keep half, the beggar gang is destroyed, and the rest follow me on the revolutionary road of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty.

Wu Yan lowered his head, hiding his eyes scolding Emperor Xianfeng, and said: "I once killed the leader of the beggar gang who participated in the long-haired thief in Guangdong and Guangxi. Within half a year, the beggar gang will definitely elect a new leader. And when choosing the head of the gang, all the high-level members of the beggar gang will definitely be present. Although the minister is not talented, he is willing to personally lead the troops to kill all of His Majesty's pawns. As long as they are killed, the remaining children of the beggar gang will be nothing to worry about. You can order all places to be detained and supervised, or open up wasteland, or dig mountains to find mines, or build bridges and pave roads... tens of millions of labor can be used by His Majesty."

Emperor Xianfeng pondered for a while, and asked again: "Zhao Wou-ki, do you want me to follow the tyrants of past generations and arouse people's resentment?"

Wu Yan replied: "Beggars, officials hate the people's grievances. Your Majesty's dealing with the gang of beggars is obviously to solve the worries and problems of the people. There are fields opened by beggars, and food can be given to the people. There are beggars who build bridges and pave roads, and the people can enjoy convenient transportation...Your Majesty has the heart, and you can even reduce corvees, and all of them can be replaced by beggars. So, why do people complain?"

"Pingshen." After pondering again, Emperor Xianfeng finally let Wu Yan stand up, and then said: "Xiao Lizi, after returning to the palace, take the yellow jacket and give it to Zhao Wuji."

The eunuch next to him, Xiao Lizi, responded immediately.

The guards and eunuchs who had gathered around looked at Wu Yan differently now.

Originally they wanted to see a joke, but unexpectedly saw Zhao Wuji's "bewitching words to deceive the king", as if he had already won the favor of Emperor Xianfeng.

Although the bodyguards all wore yellow jackets, they were pale yellow jackets, ordinary nobles could only wear golden jackets, and the yellow jackets bestowed by the emperor were apricot yellow.

This actually has something to do with Zhu Yuanzhang. The Ming Dynasty was the same as the Ming Dynasty, and the Song and Ming Dynasties valued red as the most important thing. Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty that followed the Ming Dynasty, red yellow, that is, apricot yellow and Zhuhuang, were distinguished, not many movies and TV shows. The bright yellow in the play is respected.

In fact, from the Zhou Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, the formal attire of the emperors was black mianfu.

Under normal circumstances, only those who lead the guards, the commander of the guards, and the imperial ministers can get the reward of the yellow jacket.

In the guard office, apart from the original chief guard Seng Gelinqin, only one veteran guard was lucky enough to receive an imperial gift.

"A courtier."

Many guards yelled and cursed in their hearts, who wouldn't kill a beggar?There are many rebels, and barbarian countries are also unscrupulous, why don't you deal with them?
I know that killing beggars and lying about military merits is not only a courtier, but also a jester who bullies the weak and fears the hard, and tells the truth to please the young Emperor Xianfeng.

But after thinking about it, if they were really asked to deal with the beggar gang, they would not dare to guarantee it. After all, this is a world with martial arts, and the beggar gang can become the largest gang in the world not only because of its large number of people.

After Wu Yan thanked Jun for his kindness, Emperor Xianfeng said, "Zhao Wuji, how many soldiers and horses do you want?"

This is another test.

Wu Yan was also the boss, and there were more than 3 people under his command at the peak. Naturally, he knew the careful thoughts of Emperor Xianfeng, and said: "Your Majesty will use as many people as you give me. Here, I can solve His Majesty's troubles alone, without it, I am willing to die."

Emperor Xianfeng was really satisfied with Wu Yan's answer, and said: "In this case, you can be alone. However, I promise you to raise a camp by yourself, tentatively named... Beggar-killing camp, initially set up 360 people, and you will spend the military expenses from beggars. Help yourself."

Beggar Killing Camp...

I managed to win the background of a martial arts champion, so you let me be the battalion commander of the beggar extermination battalion?

How should history books write about me, the founding emperor of the Ming Empire?
Kill beggars and become emperor?

Xianfeng, you are dead, do you know that?

You are dead.
