There was a "crackling" sound, and a few sparks came out of the stove, and it was a piece of charcoal that had not been burned through.

When Chen Xin heard this voice, his eyes still did not leave the book in his hand, but he said casually, "What's the matter?" Isn't it burning coal all the time? How did you switch to charcoal today? ”

Zhong Fulin set his eyes on the slipper beside him.

Although he is an old brother, Zhong Fulin, as the head of the gendarmerie who specializes in military law all the year round, still makes the slippery man feel a little pressure.

The slipper hurriedly waved his hand, "Brother Zhong, Brother Zhong, my brother, don't look at me like that, okay?" I've been arrested by the gendarmes several times, and now I look at your eyes, I really feel a little panicked! ”

Zhong Fulin ignored him, continued to look at him, and smiled, "Don't talk about those who have and don't, if you don't get into trouble, the gendarme will be idle to arrest you." And, I'm also curious, why do you use charcoal? ”

Chen Xin put down the book on the side, squinting at the joke between the two.

"Hehe, I thought you didn't notice. Speaking of this charcoal, let me sell it first! ”

"If you burn charcoal, you have to sell Guanzi, but it's your style." Chen Xin commented, and then urged narrowly, "However, I just won't give you a chance to sell Guanzi, hurry up, otherwise, your heavy artillery troops will ······, hehe······!" ”

Chen Xin threatened with heavy artillery troops, of course, everyone knew that neither Chen Xin nor so many old brothers under him would do anything serious. Actually, it's just a joke between the old brothers.

"Hehe, I'm an unyielding, don't try to threaten me!"

"Yo Roar, you're still good at it." Tong Laosan glanced at the slider on the side and exclaimed exaggeratedly.

"You should know what I'm capable of." The slipper made a twisted gesture and threw a wink at Tong Laosan.

"Vomit ······" , everyone made a vomit pretend.

"Slipper, don't be disgusting!"

"What a bastard, can you please stop talking like that!"

"You have been polluted by those scholars from the south of the Ming Dynasty, and you are no longer that."

"Slut, you bastard, I'm disgusting, I'm going to kill you." Tong Laosan immediately jumped up and chased in the direction of the slippery who had already escaped.

Zhong Fulin and Chen Xin did not participate in the fight anymore. The two of them looked at the scene with a smile and chatted casually about other things.

"Your Majesty, the strength of our armed forces in the Shandong region has attracted the attention of the Ming Dynasty."

"Of course, they have appeared on the battlefields in various parts of the Ming Dynasty many times in the past few years, and they will naturally attract the attention of others, but it doesn't matter, their number is still too small, even if they go all out, it is not enough to cause too many variables."

"But, Your Majesty, you can't let our strength work for the corrupt court of the Ming Dynasty every time."

"Alas, that is a secret chess piece of ours, before officially launching them, they are the armed forces of the Ming Dynasty, as long as they are not prepared to rebel, then they must obey the orders of the Ming side to a certain extent.

However, they can't be let use it in vain, according to the atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty, every time they have to get enough benefits before they can send troops. ”

"And reap the benefits? Your Majesty, the minister doesn't understand very well, I heard that General Chen's position in the Ming Dynasty is about to be promoted to the end, Chongzhen is going to give him the title of general, once he really hangs the general's seal, he is really a general, and the acting position in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is almost over, and in the future, he can only follow the promotion procedures of the civil officials, and promote the three young and three orphans together, which is completely a false title, and it is not interesting at all. ”

Chen Xin nodded and agreed with Zhong Fulin's words, "It's really good, now the military attache on the Ming side is not very valuable at all, although it can't be said that there are as many soldiers as a dog deputy general walking all over the ground, but there won't be much difference."

When it reaches the level of the general army of a town, at most, it can only change the position of the general army between military towns, and there is indeed no other upward channel to the top.

However, in the same way, you must also see that at this time, the military towns on the Ming side have become more and more domineering, and those generals with heavy troops do not even dare to deal with Chongzhen easily. This is a good time to develop military power in the Ming Dynasty.

Look at that Zu Dashou, when Jin first entered the Gyeonggi region that year, he dared to disobey the holy decree and run back to his lair with his troops without permission, causing such a big mess that he didn't even take off the general's seal.

In the end, he only took off the position of a left governor, plus cut off the glory of a young master. As for the bullshit thing that was canceled separately by Ning Yuan's hereditary hundred households, for Zu Dashou, it was simply not even a hair that fell out. ”

"What the king said is that the Ming Dynasty is indeed rotten to the extreme now, and he doesn't even dare to be heavy-handed for these military leaders, and he can still expect the officials from all over the country below to have any awe for the imperial court.

Look at that Wu Xiang again, some of the Tartar heads that he bought in his hands made him quickly return to the position of the general soldier, and the generals who had really been on the front line and the Tartars for so long were put in prison as a scapegoat by him, Wu Xiang, a guy who was famous for running away, was reinstated, so disposed of, where can he serve the public! ”

When Chen Xin heard Zhong Fulin say to go to Wu Xiang, he felt very familiar, and he was a little surprised, and then immediately remembered, isn't that Wu Xiang the father of Wu Sangui, the big traitor in history!

It turned out that this Wu Xiang was also an important customer who traded Tartar heads with the kingdom, thinking of this person, Chen Xin couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.

If this person goes to be a merchant, it must be more than enough, and it is very likely that he will do a good job, he heard from the person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade that this person bought a real meritorious service, and after the official was reinstated, he immediately sent someone to the kingdom to give gifts and thank you.

From top to bottom, all kinds of gifts he gave were very elegant, all of them were the kind of objects that could be seen almost every day, as long as they saw things, they could remind people of Wu Xiang at any time.

At that time, Chen Xin sighed, this Wu Xiang is indeed powerful, and the gifts he gave were just like the gifts of later generations of products to the desk calendar, and paying a little cost made you often deepen your impression of him.

Chen Xin sighed and said, "A person like Wu Xiang, if he is only a business partner, there is really nothing to say, but if it comes to such a thing as a war, then absolutely no one wants to follow him all the way." ”
