Chongzhen Undergraduates

Zhu Youjian looked at the dark crowd kneeling outside the door, raised his eyelids and said, "You guys like to kneel, don't you? Well, everyone will kneel on the stones when they come back from picking up a pile of stones."

A few officials were really obedient, turned around and got up and walked out the door. Among them was Wu Ganlai, who had worked hard and made great achievements, which made Zhu Youjian laugh angrily.

Wang Chengen hurriedly grabbed the officials who were about to go out to pick up stones, bent over and said to Zhu Youjian: "Your Majesty, this is all because of their filial piety, so please spare them."

"Stand up straight and talk." Zhu Youjian couldn't see what Wang Chengen looked like now, and he missed the Wang Chengen who was in Wu Mansion back then.Then, what he hates now is not only Wang Chengen. Looking at the people in the room, Zhu Youjian sighed: There is a long way to go.

"Wang Chengen, Wu Ganlai and the crown prince stay here. Everyone else should go back to their homes and find their mothers." Zhu Youjian waved his hand, and the matter was over.

Chen Yuanyuan came in with a tray of tea, put it gently on the table, and slowly backed away.The whole movement was smooth and flowing, without making any sound.

Zhu Youjian frowned and took a look: "You have become like this too?"

"The little girl doesn't understand what the Lord Long Live said." Chen Yuanyuan quickly knelt down and said with her head down.

"Oh my god! I'm going crazy." Zhu Youjian stood up abruptly, scratching his hair and yelling frantically.He was really going crazy. He was in danger before, and he didn't really feel what it was like to be an emperor.But from the moment he entered Liuzhuang, he finally had a taste of the emperor's dignity, which meant that no one would communicate with him normally.The so-called lonely family probably means this.As a person of later generations, he is completely unsuitable for this status.

"Okay, is it true that you will follow what I say?"

"Of course, the emperor's golden words are the imperial decree." Wu Ganlai believed in the idea of ​​the monarch, the minister and the minister the most.

"Well, now, at this moment, you all come here. Chen Yuanyuan also comes here." Zhu Youjian pointed to the Eight Immortals table and said: "One person has one position, and the prince stands behind me."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to sit down.

"Do you want to resist the edict?" Zhu Youjian coaxed and frightened, finally pushed the three people to sit on the table, and asked the prince to pour a glass of water for each of them, and then said again: "I will talk to you later. Things, just sit like this in the house. This is the rule I set."

"Pfft!" Wu Ganlai directly sprayed Zhu Youjian's face with a sip of tea. He never thought that Zhu Youjian would set up such a rule. You must know that he was only a seventh-rank official last month, the least popular kind , Now they are actually on an equal footing with the emperor, and they will always be on an equal footing in the future.

Zhu Youjian touched the tea on his face, and said to the trembling and panic-stricken Wu Gan: "Don't spray my face from now on, spray it into a flower pot outside. Also, you can report to me about Liu Zhuang's temporary The material situation of the personnel. Remember, it will be called a report in the future, not a report.”

"Report, ah, to report to the emperor, there are currently 450 people in Liuzhuang, including 1000 soldiers, 850 soldiers, 25 officials, 13 nobles, 23 craftsmen, and the rest. They are refugees or family members. At present, there are 28 war horses, 230 mules and horses, [-] carts, and [-] shi of grain and grass."

"In the future, I will change the name of Linbing and change it to reserve soldier. In addition, how long will two thousand shi of grain and grass be enough to feed 1 people?"

"About half a month."

"How much silver was shipped in total?"

"Six thousand and seventy-two thousand taels, of which 170 million taels were borrowed from subordinates. The 400 million taels are the entire family property of dozens of officials, dignitaries and craftsmen."

"All the remaining 800-odd reserve soldiers will be included in the ranks of soldiers, and another 20 reserve soldiers will be recruited from the refugees. Let the craftsmen quickly build a large number of four-wheeled carriages, the more the better." Zhu Youjian thought for a while and said. : "The original two-wheeled carriage will not move. I will draw you a blueprint of a new four-wheeled carriage and show it to the craftsmen. Whoever builds it first will be rewarded with [-] taels of official silver.

In addition, I immediately sent someone to send an imperial decree to Nanjing, and told the Nanjing Ministry of War Shangshu Shi Kefa, saying that my imperial decree let the prince supervise the country.Don't talk about my affairs, just say that the prince is still alive.If someone asks about my affairs, they will never answer, or answer that they don't know.The decree only said that the prince will go south to pass the news first, and then deal with the rest of the matter.Wang Chengen sent eunuchs to handle this matter, and there must be no mistakes! "

From the capital to the south, there are three roads to go, Tianjinwei's sea and land, canals and land routes.With such a large amount of silver, land and sea are not safe. If there is a storm, the ship will sink and it will be over.Water transportation Zhu Youjian dare not leave, because the situation in the south is not clear now, Shandong is still in the territory of the army, and there is also Liu Zeqing who likes to rob in Huai'an, if he suddenly knows that there is a large amount of supplies going south, in case he is intercepted by that bastard, There is no place to cry.

Therefore, the only choice is to take the land route. Although the land route is far away, it is basically flat. If you want to walk on the plain, a horse-drawn carriage is the best means of transportation, and the efficiency of a four-wheeled carriage is higher than that of a two-wheeled carriage.And Zhu Youjian happened to read similar posts before, and happened to remember the basic structure of the bogie.

According to historical data, the south is fighting for the throne at this time. The Hongguang Dynasty was enthroned on May [-]th, and it is now the fifth day of May. The imperial decree must be delivered before the enthronement, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

After explaining the matter, Zhu Youjian fell asleep and fell asleep. He had been tired for several days and nights, and Zhu Youjian, who was too sleepy, couldn't hold on, and fell on the bed snoring.Chen Yuanyuan walked into the room lightly, covered him with the quilt, looked at his face, wanted to touch it, but retracted, and finally exited the room helplessly.

Zhu Youjian slept for a whole day and night, and didn't wake up until dawn the next day.When Zhu Youjian got up and walked out the door, he saw bright lights outside the door, and the whole Liuzhuang became a big workshop with sawdust everywhere.Wang Chengen was busily directing with red eyes.

"Wang Chengen, what's the situation?" Zhu Youjian probably knew that during the time he was sleeping, the craftsmen must be rushing to build the carriage.

"Your Majesty, this old slave congratulates you. Two thousand craftsmen have rushed to make nearly two hundred carts, which are completely made according to your drawings." The joy on Wang Chengen's face does not seem to be fake, he did not expect it at all Zhu Youjian can actually think of a technology that a bunch of craftsmen can't make.This matter was first reported to him by several craftsmen, but he still didn't believe it.Thought it was craftsmen complimenting the emperor.

It wasn't until the first four-wheeled carriage was made, compared with the two-wheeled carriage on the spot, and carried out experiments, etc., that Wang Chengen felt that things were not simple.This kind of surprise made Wang Chengen stay up all day and night, devoting himself to work.

"As you get older, you should rest when it's time to rest. Don't stay up late like young people." Zhu Youjian was not surprised, he already knew the power of four-wheeled vehicles.A two-wheeled vehicle can almost support a two-wheeled vehicle, not just adding two wheels.

"The old slave is not tired. With this four-wheeled carriage, the silver can be transferred to the south quickly, and there is hope for the restoration of the Long Live Lord."

"Come on, take me to see who made it first." Zhu Youjian followed Wang Chengen to the yard where the steering shaft was made, and saw a young man in his early twenties directing a group of people to draw on the wood. Wire.

"It's him. He was the first to understand the blueprint of Long Live Lord, and he was also the first to make it. His name is Bi Xiangdong." Wang Chengen's joy has not faded, and he is busy introducing Zhu Youjian.

"Promote him to be the design supervisor, the seventh rank, and be in charge of mechanical design." Zhu Youjian said a lot of things that everyone didn't understand, but the only thing he understood was that Bi Xiangdong became the seventh rank official.Then the whole yard cheered, the craftsman directly became the seventh-rank official, this was the first time they met, and they were promoted to the official rank in one step, and it was a lie to say that they were not happy.

"Okay, everyone, hurry up and finish the unfinished carriage, and then sleep quickly, we will leave Daxing quickly tonight."

When the craftsmen were building the four-wheeled carriage, everyone else was resting. Now that the carriage was built, the task of loading materials into the carriage was handed over to those who had rested before.Zhu Youjian was very satisfied with the current scheduling work, and when he was about to ask who was directing the scheduling, Wu Ganlai ran over by himself.

"Your Majesty, I have ordered a small number of people to go ahead and explore the way ahead of time. I wonder if this arrangement is feasible?"

Zhu Youjian looked at Wu Ganlai, and he really wanted to beat Wu Gan up: "You've done everything, why are you here to report?"

When Wu Gan heard this, he thought that Zhu Youjian blamed him for overstepping his authority, and immediately wanted to kneel down again.Zhu Youjian kicked over and said, "Get out! I'm appointing you to be the commander-in-chief of this transportation mission now. Hurry up and get busy, and don't bother me."

This scene happened to be seen by Chen Yuanyuan. Chen Yuanyuan saw Zhu Youjian kick Wu Ganlai, and said a bunch of ruffian words, and laughed. Zhu Youjian smiled embarrassedly at Chen Yuanyuan. Chen Yuanyuan blushed and turned around. Ran.

Chapter 26: The Story of the One-armed God Nun

It was dark and windy that night, Wu Ganlai gathered all the horses, and left Liuzhuang quietly one after the other according to the order of formation. Before leaving, he did not forget to destroy a lot of traces, and set fire to the manor.

When more than 200 two-wheeled carts and more than 200 four-wheeled carriages rushed southward, some people along the road saw a long fire dragon stretching for several miles.

The two hundred carts were full of women and children, and the two hundred four-wheeled carts were full of supplies.Most of the women in the late Ming Dynasty had small feet, and it was really hard for them to travel long distances. In order to travel as quickly as possible, Wu Ganlai had no choice but to let women and children sit in the carriage.As for the men, except for the soldiers in charge of guarding, the rest are all on foot.At first, some officials Xungui didn't understand, and made a few troubles. Later, Zhu Youjian set an example and barely quelled the disturbance.

Qin Changgui took in a few new apprentices, and these apprentices had basically mastered the simple rhythm of the bugle. When marching at night, the bugle played a key role.The transmission of orders such as rest, advance, and pause, etc., is delivered through bugles.Gradually, the team got used to the new habit of listening to the trumpets and doing things.

Zhu Youjian was walking on the road with two legs, and Chen Yuanyuan, Princess Jiu'er, and maid Xiaoyu were sitting in the cart beside him. The three of them talked and laughed along the way, and chatted with Zhu Youjian from time to time. He was not lonely either. .Occasionally, Chen Yuanyuan could play a ditty, which attracted everyone's attention.

"Father, I want to learn Kung Fu." Chang Ping, who hadn't seen each other for many days, looked at Zhu Youjian with big eyes flashing, looking at Zhu Youjian eagerly.

"You're a girl, why do you want to learn Kung Fu?" Zhu Youjian looked at Jiu'er with a strange expression on his face, and suddenly thought of that mistress with superb martial arts.Could it be that there will really be a one-armed nun?

"I don't know, I just want to learn kung fu all of a sudden. The two guards beside my father are women, and my daughter wants to protect my father like them." Jiu'er said firmly, and looked at Zhu with envy. Two strong women beside you.

In fact, Zhu Youjian has never seen these two women make a move. When they were in the capital, they had no chance to make a move. Later, when they went to the battlefield, the two strong women were not with them.It wasn't until the third time when Chen Yuanyuan was rescued in the palace that these two women made a move.But it was just a flash, without the magical skills in the legend.

"Jiu'er, learning kung fu is very hard. You might as well learn to play the pipa from Chen Yuanyuan." After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, he regretted it.I thought that two hands are needed to play the pipa, but one of Jiu'er's hands has been chopped off by herself.

The scene suddenly became embarrassing, Jiu'er turned around, lowered his head, and some tears glistened in his eyes.Zhu Youjian was very depressed, and he could only blame himself for being too cheap.In order to break the embarrassing situation, Zhu Youjian had no choice but to say to the two women behind him: "Show the princess with one hand."

Hearing Zhu Youjian's voice, everyone stopped, and Jiu'er in the carriage turned around, a little excited.Chen Yuanyuan also took the opportunity to clap her hands and said, "Okay, I haven't seen real kung fu yet. I've seen street performers before, and they all look so good."

I saw one of the strong women stepping forward, and didn't say much, just gently pulled out the single knife beside her with her left hand, pinched the tip of the knife with three fingers of her right hand, and with a little force, the tip of the small knife in front was crisp and crisp is broken.Another strong woman came out again, picked up two small stones on the ground, raised her hand and threw them to the sky, everyone hurriedly looked up, they were in a trance in the dark night, how could they see it.But she stared at the sky for two seconds, and then quickly threw two white projectiles out of her hands, followed by two crashing sounds in the sky.

Everyone burst into applause.Jiu'er didn't enjoy watching it, obviously this was far from what she imagined a master would look like.However, Zhu Youjian knew that the strength of the first person's fingers was astonishing. He could crush a piece of iron at once, which could not be accomplished in a day or two, and he was still a woman.

The eyes of the second person are surprisingly good. To be able to hit a moving target under such weak light, if this woman is in later generations, she will definitely be regarded as an Olympic shooting champion.If you put aside the nature of the performance, these two people can be said to be a perfect pair of bodyguards.

Seeing that Jiu'er was not very interested, Zhu Youjian probably misunderstood the meaning of martial arts. Seeing her disappointed look, he couldn't bear to sweep her nature away.

"Jiu'er, tell me, what exactly do you want to learn?" Zhu Youjian patted Jiu'er on the shoulder and asked softly like a good friend.
