Chapter 136                                                             

In the capital, it spread from the palace because of the victory of the Lu Bu.

In the cabinet, Xu Jie secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news, and bowed to Yan Song and said, "Prime Minister, this year is another great victory, and the court can breathe a sigh of relief. This great victory on the front line is really due to the court's power and the kindness of Your Majesty. Please ask the Prime Minister to bring all his colleagues in the cabinet to celebrate Your Majesty."

Yan Song kept a calm expression after hearing this news. At this moment, he listened to Xu Jie's words, looked at Xu Jie with embarrassing eyes, slowly curled the corners of his mouth, as if he was a little happy, and said gently: "What Master Xu said is very true."

Then he waved his hand calmly and said, "Please."

Xu Jie bowed slightly and said, "The Chief Minister is the head of the cabinet. How dare you walk in front of the Chief Minister?"

Yan Song had a smile on his face and said calmly: "It's good if you know." Then he took great strides in front. Xu Jie could only follow Yan Song with all his steps.

In this round, although Xu Jie moved back to a little bit and saved the Ministry of War, he was just taking a breath. Yan Song took out the means to deal with Xia Yan and suppressed them in all aspects. If Jiajing had not wanted to maintain balance in the cabinet, Xu Jie's current position would be Yan Song's position in front of Xia Yan.

Otherwise, Xu Jie would have been dead several times.

Xu Jie also slowly understood this point, and then his fight with Yan Song was soft and hard, and very sensible. He actually wanted to tell Yan Song that even without him, Xu Jie, would not be his position. His Majesty would not let any minister monopolize the power of the dynasty. Therefore, Xu Jie had to maintain a tacit understanding with Yan Song, and even showed weakness in some aspects, but also gave a strong counterattack in some places, so that Yan Song knew that the rabbit would bite people if he was anxious, and he, Xu, was not a rabbit.

With Yan Song's political wisdom, he naturally understood Xu Jie's thoughts. On the one hand, he also extended an olive branch to invite Xu Jie to attend his birthday party. Now he still has to discuss becoming a family in his children, claiming to be a good family. He even heard that Xu Jie had the idea of ​​moving, so he promised that if Xu Jie wanted to move from Songjiang to Jiangxi, he would definitely make arrangements for Xu Jie.

On the other hand, if you find the flaw, you will ruthlessly punish Xu Jie to death.

It is also a very subtle relationship between the two parties. In addition to the senior civil servants understanding their relationship, the more people below, the less they don’t know what the relationship between the two big bosses are. Instead, they hide the contradictions in layers of fog, which is not something outsiders can understand.

Many people even think that Yan Xu and the others have already made up and are willing to be together for the country. As for some minor conflicts that appear, they are considered ordinary. After all, it is just a couple who have conflicts over the sake of a few melons and two dates, not to mention that in the big family of the court, there is a problem with no conflicts.

Not to mention, Yan Song and Xu Jie went to congratulate Jiajing. It is estimated that there will be some celebration ceremony in the court, such as the temple announcement.

But it was said that the news reached Fengcheng Hou.

"Okay. OK, OK." It seemed that Fengcheng Hou was too excited. After saying three words in a row, he couldn't help but cough violently.

Starting this year, Fengcheng Hou's health has not been very good.

Or the health of Fengcheng Hou was not very good from the beginning. Otherwise, Fengcheng Hou would not have had only one son. Moreover, Fengcheng Hou was so eager to pave the way for Li Ru, it seemed that he felt something.

During the Battle of Rabbit Maochuan, Fengcheng Hou was a little disappointed. This disappointment was that Li Ru did not become the core of this battle. He did not smear a halo for Li Ru. But no matter what, the core of winning this battle was the soldiers of the Jingying, and the reform of the Jingying was also promoted by Fengcheng Hou.

It can be said that the battle of Rabbit Maochuan was not only a military victory, but also a political victory. With this victory as the confidence, Fengcheng Hou had more ideas.

The first idea in his mind was to transfer the Jing camp back from Datong. Even if it was not all transferred back, he would bring back some of the officers and soldiers of the Jing camp who had been in actual combat, and use this part of the soldiers as the core to expand the army. He had no big idea, only one small goal, to expand the Jing camp soldiers to 100,000.

With a 100,000 army that can be fought, the Marquis of Fengcheng also felt that he was worthy of the imperial court.

He could only do this and he could retire. After all, he knew very well that this matter was a very offensive thing. He had to deduct the money they embezzled from many nobles, at least one million taels per year. Without more than one million taels, he could not support this 100,000 army.

Of course, Fengcheng Hou also has his own little plan. He is planning to transfer Li Ru back this time.

Let Li Ru exert influence in this expansion of the army, and then the rebuilt business, the influence of Fengcheng Hou Mansion can surpass the Duke of Chengguo and Duke of England. Becoming the head of the nobles is the endless wealth that descendants enjoy for generations.

Fengcheng Hou endured his illness and began to write letters on his desk, and began to implement his plan.

After writing the letter, he seemed to remember something again, and then called the servant and said, "Let the eldest daughter-in-law take her granddaughter to visit Governor Zhou's house more often. See how my grandson-in-law is like? Bring more gifts and let them be reported to the joy. Let Mrs. Zhou be happy."

The servant below took the order and refused to mention it.

The whole of Beijing, no, the entire Ming Dynasty felt that there would be a victory today, and the Tartars would be calm for a while. But is this really the case?

Qingcheng.

Xin Ai sat on the main seat with a pale face, looking at the people kneeling down below, and said, "You just withdrew your troops like this? You didn't bring Boyan's body back, and faced with thousands of soldiers, they didn't dare to attack?"

"Shanks, it's not that we dare not. It's really not possible. It's just a death sentence." A Mongolian noble general knelt on the ground and buried his head deeply on the ground. He didn't dare to look up, but he couldn't help but answer: "Ming's weapons are powerful. Once launched, there will be storms and rains without stopping, and they are within the range of killing. No matter how many people rushed up, they can't kill Mingren. Especially they have ghosts and gods, and they have a kind of wooden thunder fire that can explode in the air. I don't know what's going on? Everyone is dead. It's not a firearm at all. This is a magic or a curse. We mortals must be asked to exorcise evil spirits. We are definitely not a good person."

"Only by asking for protection from the Heaven of Eternal Life or the Living Buddha."

These generals were all frightened and were simply incoherent.

It cannot be said that their quality is too low, but in this era, many people's understanding ability is like this. They talk about ghosts and gods at every turn. Even when Li Zicheng attacked Kaifeng City, he even formed the Yangmen Formation against Yinmen Formation. The average cultural level of these Mongolians is naturally not as good as the two armies at that time.

The Mongols had never seen firearms, but they did not expect that the power of firearms was so great. They were even unwilling to admit that this was caused by the power of firearms. After all, if the Ming army used supernatural power, they could also ask their supernatural power, the living Buddha of immortality and Tibetan Buddhism.

But if the Ming army used real firearms, it means that they really would not be able to beat the Ming army in the future.

Therefore, they would rather believe that the Ming army would have hired a master than believe that this was the power of firearms.

It’s just a pity that this article is a historical text that has no supernatural power. These are just their delusions under the blow.

Xin Ai's face turned even more ugly after hearing this. He walked to the Mongolian general a few steps and said, "You are right." In an instant, he pulled out his waist knife and stabbed it from the back of the kneeling Mongolian general. He said coldly: "I'll ask you to report to Changshengtian."

The Mongolian general wanted to say something, but there was no time to giggle and died, blood flowing out from under him.

Seeing the fate of this Mongolian general, the rest of the Mongolian generals trembled slightly, and they didn't dare to speak.

Xin Ai's eyes swept across the audience and said coldly: "You didn't know the Ming army's firearms today. Do you dare to use the sayings of ghosts and gods to disrupt the morale of the army in the future. Use this as a lesson. Do you understand?"
