- "Your Majesty, what the slave said is absolutely true. The weapons used by the Song people were really powerful. The Liaodong barbarian attack outside the city was so fierce that the slave was scared to death. But when that After the Crown Prince led his men to the top of the city, the Liaodong Barbarians' offensive was contained and they were repelled twice in a row. Only then did the situation become stable."
It was almost early in the morning when Eunuch Xue and his eunuch son Xiaodanzi had returned to the palace.
Because of Zhu Shangwu¡¯s oral instructions, they must tell him whenever they come back. So even at this time when it was almost early in the morning, he would sit in the Yangxin Hall and listen to Xiaodanzi telling him about the situation at that time.
Listening to Xiaodanzi describing the situation at that time, Zhu Shangwu¡¯s expression also became wonderful.
"Where are our soldiers from the Ming Dynasty? Are they all made of paper?"
From Xiaodanzi¡¯s story, Zhu Shangwu suddenly discovered a problem.
That¡¯s the Ming Dynasty¡¯s troops. How could they put the situation into crisis?
Thinking of this, Zhu Shangwu¡¯s face felt really warm.
Shame on you!

????????????????????? If Zhao Hongyu and the others had not arrived there at that time, would it be possible that the city would have been captured by those Liaodong barbarians?
I'll do it!
"If that city defense is conquered, once the city gate is opened, the wolf-like Liaodong barbarians outside the city will be able to drive straight into the capital.
When Zhu Shangwu thought of this, the hairs on his back stood up.
horrible!
The consequences of this are too terrible!
"Your Majesty, the situation at that time was indeed very critical. But it's not that our soldiers of the Ming Army did not use their lives. God knows why those Liaodong barbarians seemed to be crazy and launched a charge without fear of death. This made the situation so critical. ."
After all, it was Eunuch Xue who had followed Zhu Shangwu for so many years. Eunuch Xue had guessed the character and thoughts of the emperor he served from his reaction.
¡°That¡¯s why, without waiting for Little Danzi to reply, he boldly intervened.
At this moment, Zhu Shangwu¡¯s mind was filled with laments about the incompetence of the Ming army, so he was not angry at Eunuch Xue¡¯s intervention.
"Oh, according to you, the soldiers can't be blamed for this?"
Zhu Shangwu raised his eyebrows and looked at Eunuch Xue.
Seeing that Zhu Shangwu was not angry, Eunuch Xue became more courageous.
To be honest, Eunuch Xue also knew the situation at that time.
It would be a lie to say that the army did not try its best, but it is also true that the combat effectiveness is indeed inferior to that of the Liaodong barbarians.
"But we still defeated those Liaodong barbarians after all, didn't we?"
Although it is Zhao Hongyu and the others who have made the greatest contribution here, without them it would be difficult to talk about this matter.
But to be honest, the Ming defenders still fought tooth and nail.
Who knows why those Liaodong barbarians are so fearless and fearless that they attack like crazy. Even after paying such a high price, they refuse to retreat.
This can be regarded as an eye-opener for Eunuch Xue.
Although Eunuch Xue works in the palace, he rarely goes outside.
¡°However, he also learned a lot about war.
After all, life in the palace is very boring, and there is always something to do to pass the time, right?
It is described in military books that if the damage in a battle exceeds 30%, the morale of the military will be shaken.
If it exceeds 50%, the entire army will collapse.
Especially taking siege warfare as an example, the Liaodong barbarians who were on the siege side had a great psychological impact.
But in tonight's attack, what the Liaodong barbarians showed was completely different from what was described in the military books.
Their battle losses were basically more than half!
But even so, they still maintained a strong desire to fight and continued to charge without fear of death.
Such a lifeless play is something Eunuch Xue cannot imagine.
Faced with such a crazy Liaodong barbarian attack, it was not easy for the Ming defenders to do this.
So, there is no reason to blame them harshly.
¡°Besides, the military equipment is insufficient, and military pay is still owed for several months.
It is not easy for the soldiers guarding the city to be able to serve the court at such a time.
The emperor also needs to think about it.
It is precisely because Eunuch Xue considered this issue that he spoke for the soldiers guarding the city, lest Zhu Shangwu's unreasonable decrees would chill the hearts of the soldiers.
Of course, a large number of generals in the army have problems, but it is not easy to deal with them at this juncture.
If this arouses their dissatisfaction and backlash, it will not be of any benefit to the guards of the capital.
In the current environment and situation, it is necessary to win over the defenders of the capital, whether they are generals or soldiers.
If you have money, you will give it, and you will have enough food and drink. As long as you can hold on until King Qin's army comes to the capital and force the Liaodong barbarians to retreat, you will not think about other issues.
After all, Eunuch Xue still thinks about Ming Dynasty, otherwise he would not have said these words.
As a eunuch, Eunuch Xue is already pretty good.
Although he is greedy for money, that eunuch is not greedy for money.
¡°At least, compared to Wei Zhongxian and others from another time and space, Eunuch Xue can be considered a good eunuch.
"Let's ignore this matter for now. Let's talk about it. Should we buy some of the weapons that the Song Dynasty wants to sell?"
Zhu Shangwu's thoughts also jumped a bit. In a blink of an eye, he gave up thinking about the disadvantages of the Ming army's combat, and instead focused on purchasing the weapons recommended to him by Zhao Hongyu.
Zhu Shangwu¡¯s reaction made Eunuch Xue breathe a sigh of relief.
Phew!
"Your Majesty, just don't think about the army. It will save me a lot of time."
"Your Majesty, of course I have to buy it. The weapons of the Song Dynasty are so powerful and powerful, and they are very helpful for us to defend the city. As long as our soldiers have such weapons, they don't have to be afraid of the Liaodong barbarians outside the city. And the slaves It was discovered that the Song Dynasty¡¯s firecrackers were more sophisticated than the Ming Dynasty¡¯s firecrackers. At the same time, they used a novel firecrackers strategy that was effective and powerful"¡ª¡ª
Dividing line¡ª¡ª
When Zhu Shangwu and Eunuch Xue discussed the purchase of arms in the palace, Zhao Hongyu also returned to his residence with his troops.
The Imperial Guard soldiers went to the inn, while Roderney and the others received the money and then found a place to go and have fun. Chizuru Hattori followed Zhao Hongyu with four samurai, and of course Mrs. Wang.
"Your Highness, can you tell Emperor Ming to purchase our weapons?"
After ordering people to prepare breakfast, Mrs. Wang followed Zhao Hongyu to the study.
Hattori Chizuru and the four samurai were kneeling and sitting in the four corners of the room. Master Wang, not surprised, moved closer to Zhao Hongyu and asked in a low voice.
"Do you think our weapons are powerful?"
Under the service of Hattori Chizuru, Zhao Hongyu took off his military uniform and turned his back to Master Wang.
"Of course it's powerful! I, Old Wang, have never seen such a sharp weapon."
Mrs. Wang tells the truth.
Hattori Chizuru took the military uniform that Zhao Hongyu took off, walked to the side and hung it up.
Zhao Hongyu walked to the desk on the side of the study and sat down.
"Since you said it's great, as long as the fat guy Zhu Shangwu is not an idiot, he will definitely buy it."
Zhao Hongyu said to Master Wang very firmly.
Mrs. Wang thought about it and felt that what Zhao Hongyu said was right.
"Let's eat something first, then take a bath and get ready. I guess it won't be long before there will be a decree from the palace to let us enter the palace."
After staying up all night, Zhao Hongyu was also a little tired.
However, his current mental state will be very exciting.
"My dear, what did you do at night? Why didn't you stay at home for the night? Did you go to those brothels that Ming people talk about?"
As soon as Zhao Hongyu finished speaking, a crisp voice came from outside the study. Then there was a burst of rapid footsteps, and then a small figure flashed in from the outside, and then came straight to Zhao Hongyu's side and threw himself into his arms.
This person is none other than the Indian girl Emma.
Emma is dressed in a Ming Dynasty lady's dress, and she even has two double-whiskers on her head, which makes her look cute with a national flavor.
The little girl has a strong ability to accept new things. Although she has not been in Daming for a long time, she quickly integrated into the environment of Daming.
And,She also dressed up in Ming Dynasty clothes and styled her hair like girls in Ming Dynasty.
For the beauty-loving nature, this is part of the national boundaries.
?????????????????Although Zhao Hongyu and the others felt awkward looking at their attire, Zhao Hongyu and the others had no such idea.
Especially the little girl Emma is at an age when she is curious about everything.
¡°In addition, after Zhao Hongyu founded the country in America, there were many outsiders in the country, and everyone¡¯s preferences and concepts of beauty were different.
This caused Emma, ??who was still a child, to have some of her aesthetics become different, and her ability to accept them became stronger.
In this regard, children are always much better than adults.
Adults can¡¯t change it because they are used to it.
¡°But children are different.
"Don't think about it, why would I go to a place like that? Tonight I sold the weapons of the Song Dynasty to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so I want to show him the power of the weapons at night so that he can buy it with confidence. ."
Looking at the innocent Emma in his arms, Zhao Hongyu explained to her in a coaxing tone.
"Emma, ??dear, there are serious things, and men are always very busy. It is normal to be away from home for a night." Sara also walked in from outside at this time.
"It's hard to say this. I heard from Zhang Yuanwai's daughter nearby that his father often goes to that place called" Emma tilted her head and started thinking about the word, "By the way, it's called Fireworks." It¡¯s a place where men like to go, she said.¡±
Three black lines slid down Zhao Hongyu¡¯s forehead.
Grandma, who is this Yuanwai Zhang¡¯s daughter?
How can you say this to Emma?
Besides, how did Emma know this so-called daughter of Zhang Yuanwai? (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!) - Didn't finish reading?
