Wang Zhen was one of the first to know, but considering the benefits he had received from the Warat people before, he thought about making a big deal small and letting them leave. But now that he has been poked out above the court, there are some things that can't be said without saying them.

"If you go back to the emperor, the actual number is only more than 2,500 people, and 3,000 is a false number."

As Wang Zhen said, this time Warat did send a group of more than 2,500 tribute envoys, and in order to receive more rewards, they falsely reported that they were 3,000 people. Because Wang Zhen colluded with Wara to accept the bribe, he pretended not to know.

But this time, the emperor took the initiative to ask, in front of the civil and military officials, of course he couldn't cover up anything for him.

"Yes, yes. Is this a tribute or is this to ask me for something? After Zhu Qizhen heard Wang Zhen's answer, his face became very ugly, and he announced on the spot, "Sir, since the previous missions were all received by you, this time the matter will be solved by you." I don't care what method I use, in short, in a word, I am not so easy to take advantage of. ”

Seeing that Zhu Qizhen was angry, Wang Zhen immediately said: "Please rest assured, the emperor knows how to do it." ”

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Wang Zhen failed to treat the king of Saikan with the same kind attitude as before, but uncharacteristically, he ordered the Ministry of Rites to give a reward according to the number of fifty, and rashly cut the price of the Vara Gong horse by four-fifths, and only paid the Varat to one-fifth of the goods he demanded. The wish of the king of the journal was not satisfied, and he returned angrily.

Not only that, but when the large mission returned, it was subjected to strict inspection, and everything it brought was turned over. rummaging on the grounds of preventing forbidden objects made the king of the journal lose face.

After the king of Saikan, who hurried back in a rage, returned to Warat, he made a report to Yexian with added fuel and vinegar. When he heard this, he was furious, and immediately gathered the army, and under the pretext that the Ming Dynasty reduced the rewards, the troops were divided into four routes, attacked the Ming Dynasty in a big way, and personally led a large army to attack Datong.

was originally ready to attack the Ming Dynasty, but this time there was a suitable excuse, and for a while, the border was full of wars and alarms.

The Varat Iron rode fiercely and quickly advanced southward. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty guarding the northwest lost several battles and hurriedly asked the Beijing division for rescue.

Warat's rebellion and took the lead in opening the end of the war, and as soon as the news entered the Beijing Division, it caused a huge storm of discussions. For a while, I was guessing which general the emperor would send to reinforce this time and conquer Warat.

While everyone was speculating, there was a man's heart beating wildly, and he thought that his chance to make a name for himself had arrived. This person is the chief eunuch of the palace who has always had great ambitions, and the chief eunuch Wang Zhen is in charge of the seal.

Although Wang Zhen, who can already be described as covering the sky with one hand at this time, can be said to be in power at that time, although some people have to be attached to him because of his power, but after all, he is still a eunuch, except for cronies, others do not know how to scold him in secret, if Wang Zhen loses power and falls one day, the first to attack him is those who are attached to him. And Wang Zhen may not always be able to cover the sky with one hand, because his power comes from Emperor Zhu Qizhen. As long as Yingzong Zhu Qizhen no longer favors him and is suspicious of him, just a casual sentence can make Wang Zhen lose everything. No matter how powerful he is, he can't jump out of Wuzhi Mountain in Zhu Qi Town.

This is exactly what Wang Zhen is worried about, if he wants to become an evergreen tree, then he must really grasp the military power of the Ming Dynasty and climb to the pinnacle of power.

If you want to do this, it is not enough to install a few cronies, only if he leads the Ming army to win a battle, so that his prestige in the army can be truly established. For this reason, he decided to pick up Zhu Qizhen and personally conquer Warat in the north, after such success, as the initiator, he naturally made great contributions, and then he could have many opportunities to touch the military power.

Once there is this desire in his heart, there is a sense of retreat, and his whole body seems to be on fire, so that he can't sit still for a moment.

"Where is the emperor now?" When Wang Zhen's heart was fluttering, he wanted to ask Zhu Qizhen for battle, so he asked a little eunuch who was waiting for him.

"Back to the princess, the emperor is resting with the queen."

"Okay, go see the emperor." Wang Zhen got up, tidied up the sleeves of his robe, and walked straight towards the harem with firm steps.

At this time, Zhu Qizhen was resting in Queen Qian's palace, and his face was not very good. Warat offended, this happened a little unexpectedly, and it also caught him off guard. Seeing that there were more and more documents asking for help at the border gates, he simply left the Qianqing Palace to hide with the queen.

As for how the matter should be resolved and who should be sent, presumably the important ministers would have negotiated a charter. This is the advantage of being the emperor, when you encounter problems and things that you don't want to do and don't want to consider, you can throw them to others to do.

Queen Qian is very virtuous and virtuous. Seeing that Zhu Qizhen didn't seem to be in a good mood, she sneaked out of the maids and eunuchs in the palace, but she stayed in the palace alone with the emperor to rest, and even suggested that if the emperor was too boring, it would be better to go to the immortal residence to relax.

For the queen's proposal, Zhu Qizhen was still a little moved. It has been more than half a year since the fairy house was opened, and there are always delicious and fun things in it. But just because he was the emperor, once he left the palace, the movement was too big, so he kept his thoughts in his heart.

Today, it is rare for the queen to support herself so much, and at this moment his heart is moved.

Queen Qian gave a suggestion because she saw that Zhu Qizhen was too distressed and worried about his body. Seeing that the emperor was moved, he smiled, "If the emperor wants to go, he can disguise himself as an ordinary person to go, but if you have to bring more people with you, safety is still very important." ”

"Yes, yes, what the queen said is extreme, in this way, I will call General Fan Zhong now and ask him to arrange more manpower to protect my safety." It seemed that he couldn't wait for a moment, and there was a hint of urgency in Zhu Qizhen's voice.

The emperor had a decree, and soon the guard general Fan Zhong took a full hundred tigers and began to prepare for the emperor's micro-service out of the palace. And it was at this time that Wang Zhen came.

A python robe, and only the eunuchs who serve the emperor can wear such clothes.

As soon as Wang Zhen arrived, Zhu Qizhen said with a happy face, "Sir, you go and change into a set of casual clothes immediately, and accompany me to the Immortal Residence to taste what new food there is." ”

Originally, Wang Zhen was still thinking about how to talk to Zhu Qizhen about the personal conquest, but now he sees that the emperor is going to the Immortal Residence, which is absolutely quiet, and there is a private room, so it is much more convenient to say things. At the moment, I said yes. While going to change clothes, he also arranged for someone to notify Mu Mu, the eunuch of Bingbi, who was ranked last, and asked him to quickly notify Yang Chendong and let him make arrangements as soon as possible.

Yangjiazhuang.

Leng Feng of the company sent from Chiji City arrived, and Xiao Feng, who was already the commander of any battalion, personally led it. They were accompanied by Bai Zuo, the captain of the Phantom Sniper Team. There are twenty members in total, including ten snipers and ten observers.

After Xiao Feng arrived, he was called to the study and made a detailed report on the situation on Xiaoliuqiu Island.

From Xiao Feng's mouth, Yang Chendong knew that most of Xiaoliuqiu Island was already in the hands of the Yang family's army. Only the central and northern regions have not been recovered, this is because the population is too small and it takes time to digest, otherwise, the entire Xiaoliuqiu Island would have been captured in one go.

On today's Xiaoliuqiu Island, the number of local natives plus the people taken by Deng Maoqi during the uprising is about 400,000. Among them, there are only 4,000 people who have really gone through layers of assessment to become cold front players. There are 2,000 troops and 2,000 navy, a total of 40 companies, and according to the establishment of one battalion with four companies, there are five battalions in the navy and five battalions in the army. As for the rest of the auxiliaries and children's regiments, the number is approaching 20,000.

"Good. There is no need to worry about Leng Feng's change from a battalion to a regiment now. After listening to Xiao Feng's dictation, Yang Chendong's face showed satisfaction. If at the very beginning, the establishment of the army is chaotic, and if you want to correct it again in the later stage, it will take a lot of effort. Instead of spending a lot of effort to reorganize it in the later stage, it is better to lay a good foundation at the beginning and take it step by step.

After inquiring about the development of the army, he asked about the progress of those factories, and even asked about Yu Qian and Shen You.

According to Xiao Feng, the development and construction of the factories are in an orderly manner. Except for the ships going to the West to look for rubber and the power plant could not be started, the other factories are in the process of being planned, and the various goods produced are already self-sufficient and can be considered for expansion. Yu Qian and Shen You's situation is also very stable, when they first arrived in Chiji City, they were shocked by the technological development there and everything they could see, with a deeper understanding, they showed great interest in these developments, and even took the initiative to participate in some things, but...

Speaking of just that, Xiao Feng was still carefully observing Yang Chendong's face.

"If you have something, just say it." Yang Chendong smiled, he knew that as the system grew stronger and stronger, the gap between his relationship with the people below him would become bigger and bigger. But he still wanted to hear more of the truth, not to deceive the superiors and subordinates.

"Yes." Xiao Feng hurriedly agreed, and then said: "It's just that when they learned that all these changes were related to the Sixth Young Master and had nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty, they all showed strong resistance, put down the work at hand, and stayed in the house we arranged for him." ”
