Chapter 8: The Elite Soldiers Sent
Even if Fu Rugui is willing, Fu Shuxun will turn his face.
The son of a high-ranking official in the second rank center gave someone else the head of the guard, Fu Rugui was willing to face it, but Fu Shuxun would never give up.
Naturally, Zhu Cihong has been having a headache about this problem for a long time, and is thinking about how to make up a story to prove that he holds the number of the prince's protector in his hand. Fu Rugui joined his team, and when the time came, he would also be the official position of the prince's protector.
Just when Zhu Cihong had a headache, Wang Chengen said it!
Isn't this a sleepy pillow that suddenly came?
Zhu Cihong was suddenly overjoyed, and his eyes surged with countless kindness when he looked at Wang Chengen.
I was refreshed in my heart, and I saw Zhu Cihong and said mysteriously: "It's just that the prince has built an army, although His Majesty has issued a decree to let the military department send the number, order flag, and seal secretly, but I am afraid that there will be more disputes between the DPRK and China, and it will be unfavorable to strengthen the army." Therefore, it is better not to spread the word about this number. ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has this order, the old slave remembers." Zhu Cihong said mysteriously, but Wang Chengen responded solemnly.
The two of them went back and forth.
made Fu Rugui want to cut out his heart Mingzhi, so he almost swore to the sky and said solemnly: "The grass people understand, what I heard today will never go out of my ears!" ”
Li Jun on the side was very dazed, but when he saw such seriousness, he was also silent.
Seeing this, Zhu Cihong smiled again and said: "But the martial arts are complete, so there is no need to be too aggrieved." For the time being, let Brother Rugui join the army with a thousand households, more than just think it's okay? Of course, when others ask, I'm afraid they can't say that. ”
"Be loyal to the country and do your duty! What is it worth a little hidden grievance? Xia Guan understands! Seeing this, Fu Rugui was suddenly solemn.
Seeing this, Zhu Cihong clapped his hands and signaled that this side was done.
Not long after, the generals of a divine machine battalion who were called over by Si En were also called over. There are about 100 of these people, most of them are ordinary soldiers, and only the leader has about a dozen people, which made Zhu Cihong pay attention to it and raise his eyebrows.
The so-called ordinary soldiers are naturally mentally ill and malnourished, and they look only a little better than being called Hanako.
It was the leader who made Zhu Cihong pay attention.
This person is not as good as those ordinary soldiers, with a straight waist and a slight big belly, and he is three points stronger than the men who have been blessed in later generations.
It's just that this man's eyebrows are very vigilant, looking at Zhu Cihong and the others with scrutiny and pride.
Not long after, Zhu Cihong learned about the origin of this wave of people from the little eunuch beside Wang Chengen.
"This is an artillery battalion soldier, Chongzhen nine years, Tang Ruowang was ordered to set up a factory to supervise the manufacture of more than 20 cannons. There are still 12 artillery pieces that can still be used today, and these 89 people are the soldiers of the artillery battalion. This is the commander of the artillery battalion, Liu Quan. The little eunuch said softly.
Zhu Cihong slowly bowed his head, his face showing surprise.
Artillery, this is a technical branch. Especially in this era, an experienced artillery is something that not a single cavalry can replace. After all, there are far fewer people who can handle cannons than those who can slash and slash on horseback. There are only a handful of people who can have cannons. It also takes a long time to cultivate, and the cost is staggering.
The artilleryman who was introduced looked panicked and hurriedly bowed down. Zhu Cihong immediately helped him up, very satisfied.
At this moment, the little eunuch's eyes moved to the sturdy beer-bellied man, hesitated, and then said: "This is the general Liu Sheng, and behind him is Liu Sheng's department." He is a famous warrior in the Beijing camp. ”
was introduced, but Liu Sheng did not look frightened, calmly gave a military salute and stared at Zhu Cihong vigilantly.
Seeing this, Zhu Cihong suddenly smiled and said, "From the Jingying Shenshu Camp?" ”
With Lao Seventeen taking refuge, Zhu Cihong also knew a few famous people in the Beijing camp.
Hearing this, Wang Chengen spoke: "I am used to fighting in the Shenshu camp, and he is very lively, and our family transferred him to the Shenji camp a while ago." Now, little brother Qin Xia wants to let him have a better future. ”
Zhu Cihong suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly, where is this for a good future. Isn't this a thorn that can't be cleaned up everywhere? When Wang Chengen kicked from the Shenshu camp to the Shenji camp, he hadn't yet commanded the Shenji camp.
It's no wonder that Liu Sheng is so vigilant.
"The military order has been issued, but no one wants to choose the future. Thank you, Admiral Wang, I want this team. Wait for a full meal, carry the ordnance, and go! "Zhu Cihong is resolute.
With more than 100 people as coolies, it will be much more convenient for Zhu Cihong to do things next. In addition, with such a military expert as Li Jun, Zhu Cihong does not have to worry about the defective products that fall into his hands.
In this way, Zhu Cihong was busy in the Beijing camp for another three days, and only after arranging the ordnance and soldiers and horses did he return home. Next, Zhu Cihong has to deal with housework and private affairs.
Clarification workshop.
Si En was unexpected, and reasonably stayed in Beijing.
But Si En did not complain about this, but happily said something to a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old with smart eyebrows and a rather shrewd appearance.
This astute young man is Si En's only son, the biological son left behind before entering the palace, Si Qi. Compared with the godsons of other eunuchs, this young man, who has endured a lot of hardships since he was a child, and has only recently been able to live a good life, made Zhu Cihong take a fancy to him, and asked Si En if he would like to let Si Qi follow Zhu Cihong south and be the second housekeeper of the Qin Mansion.
"Is this still a problem? The prince said a word, this kid dared not listen, and discounted his legs! Si En immediately became elated, and all these days he was teaching this child how to behave and do things.
Si Qi followed the prince south, and his future was obviously more promising than guarding dozens of acres of thin fields in his hometown.
As for Si En, the chief housekeeper, he was left in Beijing by Zhu Cihong to deal with the things left in Beijing. After all, Si En is old, nearly fifty years old in this era, and his body and bones can't bear the fatigue of traveling. What's more, Zhu Cihong also needs Si'en's more convenient identity in and out of the palace to do more things for Zhu Cihong that others can't do.
This point, compared to the tens of thousands of taels of industry in Beijing, made Zhu Cihong more concerned.
Speaking of these industries, it is natural to talk about the 100,000 taels of silver that the Beijing sent officials to serve.
Of course, Zhu Cihong couldn't throw out all the 100,000 taels of silver, and for Zhu Cihong, who believed that money was meaningful only when it flowed, the money was quickly invested in 50,000 taels. Among them, 20,000 were taken out by Zhu Cihong to buy land and property to settle the wounded and soldiers who were unwilling to follow and leave Beijing, and the remaining 30,000 taels were put into Beijing to open shops, such as cloth shops, rice shops, daily groceries, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. Obviously, what happened to Mishi Street at the beginning made Si En particularly worried.
