Chapter 356: The Crown Prince Supervises the Kingdom

Liu Hongjian stayed in the account room for about half an hour, and when he came out, it was already a little dark.

The ruins of the ear room that caught fire have been cleaned up by the subordinates, and the Li family, who is in trouble, is not a big problem, but he insists on kowtowing to Liu Hong.

Not only did she kowtow herself, but she also made her son kowtow, this old man who was as good as Grandpa Guo couldn't be found even with a lantern.

If it is put in the house of another official master, it is estimated that the Li family will not be able to pay for the house of the Guogong Mansion even if he sells his son and sells himself.

Liu Hong gradually accepted the apology of the two women, and also suffered from their kowtows, and he himself was humbled, which made them feel at ease.

If you have a heart for good, you will not be rewarded for good, and if you have no intention for evil, you will not be punished for evil.

The key is to look at people, if those nobles and relatives provoke him, Liu Hong will gradually force them to kneel down and sing about conquest.

But these people ...... It's already so hard to live, where can he bear to add fuel to the fire again.

Liu Hong gradually sighed, and now Daming has temporarily stabilized the situation only because of his appearance.

And the people all over the country still don't have enough to eat, they still can't eat enough, and those noble gentry should show off their might, and they should still show off their might in front of the people.

Although everything is not as bad as imagined, it is not as good as imagined.

The people have no land, they are still breathing, the nobles are ruthless, and the wine in Zhumen stinks.

But human energy is limited, and he must now deal with the biggest threat to Da Ming first.

The door creaked and was gradually pushed open by Liu Hong, and Sun Xiuxiu sat on the edge of the bed in the room, as if she was making clothes for her son.

Yang Xue sat on the edge of the bed with her back to Liu Hong, silently teasing Xiao Aotian, and the maid Xiaobai waited carefully on the side.

Seeing that none of the two ladies spoke, Xiaobai embarrassedly gave Liu Hong a salute and brought tea to Liu Hong.

Liu Hong gradually smiled bitterly and waved his hand to let Xiaobai retreat.

He knew that with Sun Xiuxiu's soft and rigid temperament, she would definitely be angry with what she did today.

But what can he do?

These things are really weird, I'm afraid that even if he tells the truth, Sun Xiuxiu will think that he is lying!

"The two wives are hungry for their husbands, so go and eat with their husbands." Liu Hong gradually put the tea bowl on the table and said with a smile.

Sun Xiuxiu was still taking care of herself as the female red in her hand, while Yang Xue turned her head to look, and saw that Sun Xiuxiu didn't move, and she stuck out her tongue and continued to tease the little master.

"Xiu'er, did your husband scare you today?" Liu Hong gradually knew what the problem was, he walked behind Sun Xiuxiu, bent down and took Sun Xiuxiu into his arms.

"Husband, are you hiding something from Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu saw that her husband was so anxious today, she must have encountered something extremely dangerous......" Sun Xiuxiu raised her head and looked at Liu Hongji, her eyes were full of tears.

"Silly woman, where is there any danger, don't you think it's good to be a husband?

Be good, look at you, crying again, could it be that you were also the reincarnation of the Zhuzhu Fairy in your last life? Liu Hong gradually wiped away the tears from the corners of Sun Xiuxiu's eyes with his hand, and gently kissed her on the forehead.

"If the husband refuses to say it, Xiuxiu is not a woman who asks the bottom of it, but the husband should know that if the husband has any three strengths and two shortcomings, the concubine will not live alone."

Sun Xiuxiu threw herself into Liu Hongji's arms and hugged Liu Hongji's waist with both hands.

"Master, Xue'er too, when Xue'er gives birth to the baby in her womb, she will also look for you." Yang Xue has a lively temperament, and she can't pretend to be in her heart at all.

But Liu Hongjian knew that although this Nizi said it lightly, she could really do it.

"Humph! The husband is still alive and well, you see that one of you is crying, and the other is going to look for me, all of you are mothers, and you are still like a child.

How unreasonable! Liu Hong gradually pretended to be angry.

"Husband, don't be angry, Sister Xue'er and I are also worried about you!" Sun Xiuxiu wiped her eyes by herself, and coaxed her husband in turn.

"Hmph, my husband told you that my husband is very angry, unless you promise to do one thing for your husband!" Liu Hong's expression was serious, as if he was talking about a big thing.

"What is so serious about the master, Xue'er and her sister will definitely agree to the master." Yang Xue gently walked to Liu Hongji's side and rubbed his shoulders.

"You sleep with your husband tonight!"

……

Two days later, after repeated deliberations with the members of the cabinet, it was finally decided that the date of the army's departure would be set for May 18.

The army will be composed of two parts, including 50,000 Beijing battalions, including 3,000 battalions, and the Shenji battalion, which is divided into musketeers, cannons with 500 men, and the entire Banzai Mountain Thousand Households.

The remaining 30,000 were selected from the nine border towns, and although it was clearly stipulated that the Beijing camp would send 50,000 troops, the actual number of troops dispatched was 80,000.

This is still under Liu Hongji's repeated intervention, and some unnecessary personnel have been laid off.

The army did not move the grain and grass first, and the eternal truth was that as early as the third day of the plan, the household department began to gather the grain, grass and equipment.

Buy more paper shells, mini shells, grenades, cannons from the Ordnance Institute......

All of this must not be done by the soldiers themselves, and there are 20,000 or 30,000 people who are coerced.

And this does not include Chongzhen's guards, Luan driving, Xingzai, subordinates, etc., the ceremonial supervisor, the imperial horse supervisor, the division supervisor, the internal official supervisor, plus the Shangshan supervisor, there are tens of thousands of people.

For this reason, Liu Hongjian also complained to Chongzhen, shouting that they were going to war, not sightseeing.

In fact, Chongzhen also knew that this was going to war, and he had already streamlined and streamlined the people accompanying him, and there were still more than 8,000 people.

After all, it is the emperor, and the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty has regulations that the emperor should travel with a guard of honor, a guard, etc., and the specifications must be at least 20,000 people, otherwise it will really damage the prestige of the great emperor.

But Liu Hongjian doesn't care so much, no matter how strong the morale of the Ming army is, he can't bring such a burden of 10,000.

One of the reasons why the defeat of the civil fort was put to an end was that it was too cumbersome.

Moreover, it is these burdens that are the first to mess up, and as long as a group of people run away from the battle array, it is likely to cause a major rout of the entire war.

What's more, it is the emperor who represents the majesty of the Ming Dynasty?

The soldiers didn't know those many people, they only knew that these guys who couldn't fight were the guards of the Great Tomorrow, and if the guards ran away, it would mean that the emperor had run away.

The emperors have all run away, and they still tie a yarn?

Liu Hong gradually argued on the basis of reason, insisting that the emperor's attendants, honor guards, etc., should be reduced to less than 3,000 people, and did not intend to back down.

Considering Chongzhen's condition, these attendants, including many doctors from the Tai Hospital, as well as all the medicinal herbs and ancient prescriptions that could be used, pulled more than a dozen carts.

After some persuasion, Uncle Chongzhen, who was finally able to go out for a while, was disgraced.

In the end, Chongzhen compromised and compressed the number of the Son of Heaven to 2,988 according to Liu Hongji's wishes.

That is, Liu Hongchuan, if it was really someone else, Chongzhen would have smoked him with a big board in the early court.

In terms of safety, Cao Wentai first selected five hundred elites from the palace, and it is said that all of them are practitioners, and they can easily deal with ordinary people.

Outside is Liu Hongji's Long Live Mountain Thousand Households, although the number of people in their early 2,000s is not much, but they are the most well-equipped.

After more than a month of repairs, Banzai Mountain Senhu was the first to replace it with the most advanced rifled gun.

In addition, each person was equipped with a short gun, which was inserted directly into the wallet of the soldier's right leg, so that it could be easily accessed at any time.

On the left side of the waist is a Da Ming standard war knife, and on the chest are two rows of special Mini paper shell bullets.

Whether it is rifled guns or smoothbore guns, infantry arrays are still used, and before the advent of breech-loading rifled guns, the superiority of infantry arrays is still incomparable.

It was originally a hearty counterattack, but because of Chongzhen's accession, it became extremely troublesome, and the cabinet discussed and discussed, all thinking about how to ensure the prestige and safety of the great emperor.

In the end, Liu Hongjian simply stopped playing with them, anyway, Lao Tzu stipulated that the entourage could not exceed three thousand, as for you if you make trouble, it is your business.

Chongzhen's royal expedition is in person, and this matter of supervising the country must be handed over to the crown prince Zhu Cihong, but Zhu Cihong has never done this, and he has been nervous for a few days.

Fortunately, he still knew his son Mo Ruo's father, and Chongzhen and Liu Hong gradually discussed it slightly, and they agreed on the affairs of the court.

Political affairs are handled by the cabinet, and all the cabinets will give handling opinions, and Zhu Cihong only needs to go through the music once a day, and if he has his own opinions, he will put them forward, otherwise he will directly tick the box on the music......

Liu Hongjian also met with Cao Huachun, the new governor of the East Factory, and demanded that the East Factory be regulated as soon as possible and that the hundred officials be supervised, especially during the period of Chongzhen's imperial conquest.

It is also necessary to monitor the vassal kings in various places at all times, as well as the king of Ding and the king of Yong in the capital.

Cao Huachun really thought the same as Liu Hongji, with strong spirit and deep vision, what Dongchang needed was such a talent.

Honest, kind, and honest like Wang Erxi can't be in charge of Dongchang, but fortunately, Liu Hong gradually knows Lao Cao's true heart, otherwise he wouldn't dare to get this old guy to such a position.

In addition, Lao Liang of Jinyiwei sat in the capital, remotely controlled the south and north towns of Fusi, and constantly informed Liu Hongjian of the latest news from outside the customs and the mainland.

Under the powerful supervision system, unless someone is in trouble, even if Chongzhen and him are not there, these officials will definitely not dare to act rashly.

Regarding supplies, Liu Hong didn't think about his mutation ring, but the space was only about 100 square meters, plus more than half of the space was occupied by boxes of bullets.

It was not enough to supply a large number of troops, and besides, the ring could only be used by him alone.

Could it be that he should be a porter?

He is a dignified general, a superintendent, and a grandfather!

Knowing that their husbands were going to go on an expedition again, Sun Xiuxiu and Yang Xue were extremely gentle every day, and they didn't say anything to Liu Hong, and they also tried some postures that Liu Hongjian refused to cooperate with before.

But the happy times are always short-lived, and eight days later, on May 18.

It was surprisingly hot early in the morning, and the whole capital was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere......
