Daming: Insist on 60 billion explosive soldiers unwaveringly

However, Shen Yongmao, Minister of the Ministry of War, stood up immediately, bent down and said: "Return to Your Majesty, the Ministry of War has not received any other news."

"Oh."

Chongzhen nodded in disappointment or joy, and then immediately asked with concern: "How is the recruiting going?"

Soldiers and horses are the most important thing at the moment. Although the distance to the south is still far away, it will take time to recruit the guard infantry, but the capital is already close to the border town, and the recruitment of some warriors who can ride horses should have already begun.

Therefore, he felt that it should not be difficult to recruit some brave fighters.

Hearing this, Shen Yongmao immediately replied without any hesitation: "Three hundred soldiers have been recruited around Datong Town, more than 400 soldiers have been recruited around Ji Town, and the remaining soldiers are still being recruited..."

What Shen Yongmao said was a little lacking in confidence. He looked at Chongzhen's expression, and before he finished speaking, Chongzhen frowned: "More than 700 people? How can there be so few?"

What's more, although Chongzhen has never been out of the capital, he also knows that the harvest in the north is not good, and most of the people are making a living by themselves.

At this moment, when he recruited knights who dared to fight, there should be many brave knights who applied for the recruitment.

Could it be that the recruiting officials filled their pockets and secretly withheld their salaries?

Thinking of this, Chongzhen's face instantly darkened, and a killing intent flashed in his eyes: "What's going on?"

The emperor was angry, bleeding and drifting away.

　 　Although Chongzhen did not reach that level, after all, he had been on the pole for a long time. The majesty on his body suddenly made Shen Yongmao's heart tighten, and he cupped his hands and replied immediately: "Your Majesty, it is easy to recruit those who dare to fight. However, those who can dare to fight with horses There are indeed not many scholars!"

After finishing speaking, sweat was already dripping from Shen Yongmao's forehead, and most of the 700 people were thugs who didn't know where they were before.

The wind and rain have not been smooth in the past few years in Daming, and the people in the north can't survive. How can they have the thoughts and spare food to raise horses and feed them.

The cost of raising horses is not small.

"No horses?" Chongzhen was taken aback when he heard the words, and he didn't expect such a reason at all, so he continued to ask: "Shanxi has always had a horse administration. Is there no horse in Shanxi?"

When Shen Yongmao heard the words, he talked up and down, but he didn't know how to answer.

He has been in the capital all the time, and he has never been to the state capital, let alone Shanxi, how to know the reason?

Fortunately, at this time, Bi Ziyan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, stood up and told the truth: "Shanxi's harvest is not good, and people are already starved of food, so there are not many people raising horses. Shanxi's horse administration is already in name only!"

Bi Ziyan told the truth directly. As the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he was directly worried about the finances of the Ming Dynasty.

Keeping a horse is not a crime.

However, it is a sin to take the foal and raise it to death in the end.

It is even a crime enough to destroy a family.

People like Bi Ziyan were already very surprised when Shen Yongmao said that there were more than 700 people. He naturally knew who were the people who still had horses at this moment.

However, right now is the time to employ people. These people are willing to apply at this time, and they are obviously willing to die for Daming.

When Chongzhen heard the words, his whole face instantly became anxious.

How to form cavalry without horses?

Without the cavalry, how to defeat Zhu Youchen's army?

Even Chongzhen understands a simple truth. In the northern land, the combat power of [-] cavalry is enough to match the enemy's [-] army.

So, the cavalry must be formed...

But at this moment, it seemed that there were many difficulties. Chongzhen never expected that there would be no horses at this critical moment.

Immediately, Chongzhen's anxious heart rose, and the anxiety that had been squeezed for many days broke out completely at this moment, and he shook his sleeves and roared:

"Well, why is it so difficult for me to raise a large army?".

Chapter 301

"Why is it so difficult for me to raise a large army?"

The sound of Chongzhen's roar echoed in the imperial study room, his whole face flushed with anger, and an indescribable majesty instantly radiated out.

In an instant, the six ministers who were still seated immediately stood up as if their buttocks were burned, bowed and shouted:

"It's all about the incompetence of the ministers and others, which will affect His Majesty! Please calm down, Your Majesty!"

Calm down?

How could Chongzhen appease his anger?

At this moment, Chongzhen was not only unable to appease his anger, but the anger in his heart rose instantly following these words, and his eyes instantly turned red.

Everyone who bowed down immediately felt their hearts sink, and all of them subconsciously held their breath, not daring to let out a breath.

"Calm your anger? What's the use of calming your anger?"

Chongzhen walked around restlessly behind the imperial case, wearing a red dragon robe.

At this moment, Chongzhen only felt extremely tired and extremely anxious, and the whites of his eyes were gradually covered with bloodshot eyes.

Even though Chongzhen is the emperor again, he is still only a young man at this moment.

Even though he is old, he always lacks the experience of wind and rain.

In particular, Chongzhen likes to handle everything in person, so the pressure on his shoulders can be imagined.

The situation was already extremely urgent, but I didn't expect that there would be a problem again.

In particular, Zhu Youchen, a vassal king, unknowingly built three thousand warships, which are invincible across the waters of Daming.

And at this moment, he didn't even have enough horses for [-] horses?

boom! !

The more Chongzhen thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and he let out a low growl with his sleeves flung:

"Why does my emperor have such a hard time?"

Hearing this, everyone below looked up in surprise.

But see.

At this moment, Chongzhen collapsed on the seat as if he was tired, looked at everyone, and said in a low tone:

"Since I came to the throne, I have checked the eunuchs, rectified the imperial examinations, built water conservancy projects, and rejected Mongolia and the later Jin Dynasty. I ask myself to work hard, and I am worthy of this family business passed down by my ancestors. Even..."

"In another 30 years, I don't dare to hope to sweep Liuhe like Taizu and coerce the universe; nor do I hope to reproduce the glory of our ancestors and open up thousands of miles for our Ming Dynasty. But following the example of Emperor Xiaozong, it will not be a problem to rebuild the Ming Dynasty... ..."

Bi Ziyan, Shen Yongmao and other six ministers immediately bowed and listened carefully.

"I ask myself that the martial arts and martial arts may not be as good as the heroes of the past dynasties, and they are ten times stronger than many kings who have subjugated the country..."

As Chongzhen spoke, the sad expression on his face gradually disappeared, and then turned into a deep coldness:

"But this Daming, why, why is it getting more and more chaotic, could it be that he is about to perish in my hands?"

The lord of a country, in front of the most powerful ministers in the court, bluntly said that Ming Dynasty was about to perish.

Such a thing is simply unprecedented.

In an instant, there seemed to be an endless cold current pouring down the imperial study room, so cold that it seemed to condense into ice.

In the thumping sound, Bi Ziyan and others immediately fell to their knees on the ground, shouting with their heads grabbing the ground:

"They are all incompetent ministers!!"

"The minister is incompetent!!!"

Chongzhen didn't pay attention, just looked at the crowd blankly, the imperial study room gradually became quiet, only Chongzhen's suppressed panting sound:

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

The atmosphere was very depressing.

That is to say, Chongzhen, anyone who faced the current situation and situation would have already collapsed.

At this moment, Chongzhen completely vented out the depression, irritability and depression accumulated in his heart, and the whole person gradually calmed down.

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·??????????????

"call!!!"

Chongzhen gasped for breath twice, then took a deep breath, sorted out his emotions, and said in a calm tone:

"Get up."

Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief as if they had received an amnesty, and stood up again with their hands on the ground.

In a short moment, everyone's backs were drenched in cold sweat, and they all stood respectfully in place at this moment.

The atmosphere in the imperial study room became more and more oppressive, and everyone dared not show their atmosphere, and the whole room became audible.

0 0 ......

Chongzhen's chest rose and fell, and he sat on the chair with a gloomy face, his mind full of thoughts.

cavalry!

Cavalry!

In fact, it is not that Ming Dynasty has no cavalry. At this moment, Yuan Chonghuan has a 3 Liaodong cavalry under his command.

However, this army is defending Houjin and Mongolia outside the pass.

Chongzhen will not use it unless it is absolutely necessary.

What if the Jurchen and Mongols come in after dispatching the front foot to the south?

Zhu Youchen was a tiger, but Hou Jin was a wolf like Mongolia.

At this moment, Chongzhen only felt his head swell and hurt, he couldn't help reaching out to press his temple, leaning back on the back of the chair and meditating.

Seeing this, Wang Chengen next to him immediately picked up a box of cooling ointment and applied it on Chongzhen's temples to relieve his headache.

The temples were instantly cool, and a cool smell permeated the air.

Immediately, Chongzhen felt much better, and exhaled a foul breath, and the restlessness in his heart seemed to dissipate.

Suddenly, Chongzhen saw the worried Qian Yiqian below, his heart moved, and he asked:

"Qian Aiqing, if there is no cavalry, can the imperial court defeat Zhu Youchen?" asked Da.

Chapter 302

Can you win?

When Qian Yiqian heard this, he instantly recalled the scene he saw in Qiongzhou Prefecture that day in his mind.

The indifferent eyes of those soldiers, even Qian Yiqian at this moment still feels that his calves are weak when he thinks back.

Immediately, without the slightest hesitation, Qian Yiqian replied to Chongzhen: "No. Without cavalry, we can't win at all!"

As soon as these words came out, the breathing of everyone in the entire imperial study stagnated.

All the people never thought that Qian Yiqian would answer so simply and neatly.

Even Chongzhen was stunned at this moment, and immediately looked at Qian Yiqian, his face gradually became serious.

"You can't win at all? Doesn't this mean that there is no chance of winning?"

Qian Yiqian's words were like a heavy hammer falling on Chongzhen's heart, and his eyes became suspicious.

Chongzhen believed that Qian Yiqian was not talking nonsense, but this result was something that Chongzhen simply could not accept.

At this moment, Shen Yongmao turned around and questioned in an instant: "Is Qian Shangshu sure?"

He didn't believe Qian Yiqian's words.

At this moment, Shen Yongmao has won the support of the Ministry of War and is preparing to show his talents in this matter.

But at this moment, Qian Yiqian's words simply gave him a blow to the head, which made him a little dizzy.

He didn't believe Qian Yiqian's words at all.

Why can't Daming beat him?

How could Daming not fight?

Even if it is a newly recruited soldier, Qi Shaobao's remaining prestige is still there, and the combat power of the Southern Guards is definitely not low.
