The happy life of a prodigal

And recruiting new recruits.

Do you really think of yourself as the emperor?

It's a bit too arrogant!

Chapter 984 Do as Fang Xiu said

Ma Wenhua looked at the young man, and said with a blank face: "Go back and tell your young master that the garrison of soldiers is an ancestor's system, and it is not something he can change if he wants to. The recruitment of recruits requires His Majesty's consent.

I have also heard about the Nanyang incident. It is true that the court's navy is too weak. It is normal for An Guogong to recruit some new soldiers to supplement the strength of the navy, but... .

If His Majesty disagrees, there is nothing I can do, not to mention that the Ministry of War really can't make up money.

If An Guogong wanted to recruit recruits wholeheartedly, he could only find a way to collect the money. "

In other words, His Majesty will definitely not agree to this matter.

If you want to ignore His Majesty, I can't control you, but, you don't want to ask for money from the Ministry of War.

The boy has been with Fang Xiu for a few years, so the off-screen voice can be heard clearly.

With a thoughtful expression on his face, he still said: "My young master said that if Ma Gong disagrees, then my young master will do it himself."

Hearing this, Ma Wenhua slapped the table and stood up.

A pair of piercing eyes looked at the boy, but he was so angry that he couldn't say a word.

Arrogant.

Too embarrassing!

The boy just lowered his head and said nothing.

He's just a little guy.

Just to spread the word for my young master.

Ma Wenhua also understood this, took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, then waved his hands and said: "I don't make it difficult for you, this matter, what I said about this matter, you can go back and tell your young master what to say." ..."

Hearing this, the young servant hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you, Ma Gong."

"Go." Ma Wenhua waved his hand.

The boy saluted again, then turned and left the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

After the boy left, Ma Wenhua stood where he was, without speaking for a long time, and there were several flashes in his eyes.

Although he is a Minister of the Ministry of War, although he is a general, he is not an honorable person. Although he has many friendships with Fang Xiu's father, he is not enough to bear the crime of betraying the court for him.

After hesitating for a long time, he still decided to enter the palace and report the matter to His Majesty.

A dignified military official who wants to go to the palace naturally does not need to prepare a few days in advance.

Said to meet the Holy Majesty, and went immediately.

Of course, it is quite normal to wait at the palace gate for a while.

There was a delay of about one or two sticks of incense back and forth.

He finally arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Walked to the front of the Nuan Pavilion, opened the door and walked in.

"I see you, Your Majesty!"

Ma Gong stood upright and saluted.

During this time, due to a reason that everyone knows but cannot explain clearly, the officials have not been able to see His Majesty for a long time.

At this moment, Ma Gong stood in the Nuan Pavilion, looking at the slightly haggard His Majesty in front of him, he felt a little strange.

Seeing this scene, he secretly sighed in his heart, but he didn't know what to say.

No one could have imagined.

The group of Wu Xun who usually only knew how to drink and go shopping in brothels, this time they were so united that they actually bound His Majesty the Emperor in such a small warm pavilion.

Heartache...

It was also a long time since Emperor Chu saw a hundred officials at the level of Shangshu of the Ministry of War. He raised his eyes to look at him and asked, "It's Ma Gong... what's the matter?"

When he was talking, his eyes showed a thoughtful look.

Both inside and outside the palace are Fang Xiu's people. In the past, when the officials wanted to meet the Holy Majesty, some people could see it, and some people couldn't.

Generally speaking, it is not so easy for Shang Shu and Shi Lang to meet His Majesty.

However, Ma Wenhua came in front of him easily.

Explaining this matter, Fang Xiu also wanted to know for himself.

Otherwise it wouldn't be so...

What the hell is it?

His Majesty Chu Huang was a little curious.

At this time, Ma Wenhua spoke: "Your Majesty, I want to report something to Your Majesty. This An Guogong sent someone to the yamen to find my minister this morning. He meant to cancel the tens of thousands of soldiers.

Then use the money from the troops to prepare a new army, using the standards of the Shenji Battalion. "

When Emperor Chu heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Is this ready to rebel?

But after thinking about it, if Fang Xiu wanted to rebel, he definitely wouldn't wait until this time.

You know, the chances he has to ascend to the throne are far more than what the officials imagined.

So, it's the Wu Xun Group who can't stand it any longer and want to force Fang Xiu to take over?

This is not impossible.

The Emperor of Chu looked at Ma Wenhua and asked, "Why did Fang Xiu suddenly want to prepare a new army? Didn't the tribes in the grassland have already been settled? That day Fang Xiu came to announce the good news to me, and he vowed to me that within 50 years, all the tribes in the grassland There is no longer any power to attack me.

If Qi Yangong can continue to play a role, at most 100 years, from then on there will be no grassland tribes, only my Dachu grassland road. "

Ma Wenhua nodded and said, "Mr. An is right. After that battle, the grassland tribes no longer have the power to invade, but...

On the other side of Nanyang, a group of barbarians suddenly appeared. These barbarians came from the west, and their weapons and equipment were very sophisticated.

Even if it’s God’s Power and God’s Punishment, they are not lacking, they occupy many shops in Nanyang, An Guogong, and all the products they produce are sold to Nanyang, so..."

This makes sense.

Because of the problem of the sea ban back then, the navy of Dachu will always be the weakest, even some of the surrounding small countries that bow their heads and profess their vassals cannot compare.

Don't talk about Nanyang, I'm afraid that the pirates in Dongnan Road are stronger than the navy of Dachu.

This is not an exaggeration at all.

After all, before Fang Xiu dispatched the Shenji Battalion to vigorously suppress the pirates, the pirates in the Southeast Road were a big problem.

Chu Huang had a thoughtful expression on his face.

After a while, he waved his hand and said leisurely: "Since he wants to do it, so be it. Let him pay for the money for the new army. If your army has extra money, you can also support it. After all, it is for It is always beneficial for me to plan to build a naval division."

When Ma Wenhua heard this, he was completely stunned.

This new army was built by Fang Xiu!And it still adopts the standard of Shenjiying.

In other words, this is Fang Xiu's personal soldier.

Although the sixteen guards of the imperial court, the important generals in various places, and the Shenji camp are in the hands of different people, they all belong to the honorable group.

The soldiers available to the imperial court are, to put it bluntly, only the headhunters from various places, the defenders of the state capitals, and the garrison troops.

Now even the garrison of troops has been cancelled, what should be done if the Wu Xun Group is completely torn apart?

His expression was very hesitant.

Emperor Chu looked very calm, waved his hands and said: "There is no need to say much about this matter, let's do as Fang Xiu said."

Chapter 985 What do you want so much money for?

This......

Hearing this, Ma Wenhua felt a little dazed.

For some reason, he always felt that His Majesty was a little different from before.

How could you agree to such a thing without saying a word?

But after thinking about it, it seems that even if His Majesty disagrees, there is nothing to do.

Although the court is still in the hands of His Majesty and the officials.

But when soldiers were involved, His Majesty and the officials couldn't say a word.

Regarding the changes in the imperial examinations back then, even though Fang Xiu held Shenji Ying in his hands, there were still countless officials who wanted to change them one after another. That was because the imperial examinations were the foundation of civil officials.

Even so, it didn't change Fang Xiu's decision.

Now, do you want to change Fang Xiu's decision in the field of Wu Xun?

It's tantamount to a fool's dream!

After Ma Wenhua figured this out, he didn't say anything else, but stood upright, saluted respectfully, and said, "I'll leave!"

"Go." Emperor Chu waved his hand.

After Ma Wenhua left.

In the warm pavilion, in the shadow position, a figure gradually emerged.

"Have you made up your mind?"

The voice was a little hoarse, I couldn't hear it clearly, and I didn't know who it was.

Emperor Chu turned his head, looked towards the shadow, a stern light flashed in his eyes, and said: "The pain of my Gu poison has become more and more obvious recently."

The voice continued.

"Perhaps Fang Xiu has a cure."

Emperor Chu shook his head, but said: "It's meaningless, even if it is cured, I don't want to live like this..."

Gouhuo two words, said from the emperor's mouth, always feel so contrary to harmony.

But with the emaciated face of Emperor Chu, it feels appropriate.

The other voice was also silent when it heard this.

After a long time, I heard a word from that voice leisurely.

"it is good......"

............

Anguo Gongfu.

Fang Xiu lay on the rocking chair.

Unlike usual, this time there was a rocking chair next to it.

The person lying on it is none other than the dignified British Duke.

The Duke of England was lying down while drinking tea, basking in the rare warm autumn sun, and said leisurely: "I heard that you have been borrowing money everywhere recently, I really didn't expect that your boy would have today. …”

Fang Xiu also picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's not to the point where you're begging everywhere."

"..."

Hearing this, the Duke of England trembled slightly, almost annoyed, so he didn't splash the tea on Fang Xiu's face.

This brat can always choke him to death with just one or two words.

"I'm here today, but in the final analysis, it's because of you, if you didn't open some kind of exchange, I would have invested all my money in Xiaying Shipyard?

If the old man hadn't spent all his money on the Xiaying Shipyard, would he not even be able to afford food today? "

This is hard to say, but it is a good product, a fine product...

The old man's family can't even afford food now.
