Chen Huan said again: "In addition, we have won the news of the vanguard of the Tartar Army. We immediately sent people to inform the generals of the four towns to come to Nanjing King Qin to **** them."

Hearing what he said, a minister stood up and sighed: "The generals of the four towns, I'm afraid they won't listen to our dispatches, ask them to be king, they don't come and beat us with Danzi."

In fact, although Dameng has been beaten badly by Tarzi, there are still four generals who still have combat effectiveness. These four towns are called Gao Jie, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, and Liu Zeqing. One side, but this guy doesn't listen to the central government's orders very much.

At first they were more obedient, but after Tarzi entered the pass and the prestige of the Dameng kingdom collapsed, the generals of the four towns felt that they did not need to listen to the emperor. They were the emperors in their own territory, so why should they go? Listen to the order of an emperor who has nothing to do? If you are not convinced, your emperor can come and hit me, do you have the ability to hit me?

As a result, a typical situation in which the emperor is still in power, but the warlords are separate, each supporting their own soldiers.

The same was true of the Ming Dynasty in the original world. After the surrender of Nanjing City, Emperor Hongguang was finished. The warlords everywhere found a new emperor named Zhu to support each other, and they did not recognize the emperor supported by each other. In the internal fight, they were finally wiped out by the Qing soldiers one after another, and they ended up together. The foundation of the Ming Dynasty was completely finished like this.

Chen Huan’s problem now is the same as it was then. As soon as his opinion was put forward, the ministers immediately shook their heads and sighed: “The four towns will not listen to our dispatch at all.”

"Don't worry." Chen Huan said with a smile: "Do you think that the generals of the Four Towns will have no eyeliner in Nanjing? As I expected, I set up a telescope that day to broadcast the battle on the front line. They have seen it a long time ago. They saw with their own eyes that we have the treasure of the Xian Family, defeated Tarzi’s vanguard, and invigorated the military. The prestige of our court has been re-established. You just send people to go. Inform the four towns, call them King Qin, and speak frankly with them, saying that although they are not loyal to the court, but if Tarzi really unifies the world, their earth emperors will not be able to do it, and they will be finished together at that time. Now that we are They have already shown that Tartar is not invincible. Then, for their own benefit, they had better come here. As for if they listen to the court after playing Tartar, let's wait and see."

The ministers suddenly realized what he said.

At the moment, ministers went to revise and write letters, and sent people to the generals of the four towns, asking them to come to King Qin in Nanjing.

Chapter 531 Betting on a small lottery

9 pm, regular update

Five days later.

Chen Huan was sitting on a smooth soft sedan, and two footmen carried him cautiously. More than forty classmates including Lanzijiang in Zee, riding horses, sanitation in Zee, and a large number of guards, minister of civil and military affairs. , Formed a mighty huge team, together walking towards the training ground in the north of the city.

Chen Huan’s injury still hasn’t gotten much better. Although he and Li Jieqiong are doing double repairs every night, the meridians of the cultivator are damaged and want to recover. The time is often measured in years, or centuries, like those in other novels. After being injured, he hid and healed his wounds. One treatment might be gone for five hundred years. It only took a few days for Chen Huan to recover to a decent level.

Therefore, other people are riding horses, only he is sitting in a soft sedan chair, and he has to be carried by two bearers, and once again becomes an evil landlord class that enslaves the poor.

He had to say to the two bearers: "Two masters, it's really hard work for you."

The two bearers suddenly frightened and cried: "Why Mr. Queen said this, really killing the villain, it is our blessing to be able to serve you."

Chen Huan had no choice but to sigh: "How simple the working people in ancient times are, and they feel that it is an honor to be enslaved. This will be pushed back hundreds of years. The working people will rise up to fight the local tyrants to divide the land, like the emperor and empress. It is the biggest local tyrant, who was definitely defeated in the first place."

The students next to him laughed at this, but the civil and military officials looked dumbfounded and couldn't understand what they were talking about.

A civil official said: "The emperor, the queen, what are we going to see?"

Chen Huan smiled and said, "Look at the improved cannon and firecrackers."

The military attaches suddenly became energetic, but the civilian officials were not interested, but they were thinking about something else. A civilian sighed: "Five days have passed. The fast horse of 800 miles has long been able to go back and forth. , But the generals of the four towns have not responded to King Qin’s call for a long time. If they don’t come... how can this be good?"

"If you don't come, you won't come." Chen Huan smiled: "Without them, we must try our best to win this battle. We can't just wipe our necks because they don't come? It's better to fight. If they don't come, it means to fight a little harder. Anyway, this battle is going to be fought."

By this time the traitorous officials of the East Mu Party had been wiped out, and those who remained in the court were all decent and good ministers.

(PS: At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were actually many ministers who committed suicide. In other words, there were also many good ministers, not all of them were **** like the Donglin Party.)

After hearing what Chen Huan said, the ministers were rather passionate and excited, saying: "The queen said yes, Tartar is here, we have a big deal to fight this old life, and bite a piece of Tartar."

"Who wants you to bite?" Chen Huan said with a smile: "Your job is internal affairs. Don't run into the battlefield to mix things up. Okay, Ayu, you're on the training ground ahead. It's up to you to show your results. "

Ayou, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, his real name is "Liu You", the word is "Fu De", and his nickname is "Fu De Liu You". Because his father wanted him to be rich when he grows up, he gave him this name. However, After this person grew up, he did not get rich. Although he became an official and was a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Industry and Technology, he did not corrupt or accept bribes. He only relied on the official’s point of view. Salary to live.

The salary of officials in Dameng is extremely low. If you don't get greedy or take it, you will be really poor.

Therefore, his "rich and rich" nickname became a name to make fun of him, and everyone was embarrassed to call him, so they had to call him "Ayou".

Ayu was named by Chen Huan, and he immediately went out: "Don’t worry, the queen, the Weichen is ready, and you will know it when you arrive at the training ground. In addition, if the queen must use a nickname to address the Weichen, don’t call me Ayu. , Please make me rich and rich."

"Okay Ayu!"

When the training ground arrived, I saw that a huge open space had been cleared out. A clay figure was built on the open space, which was about the size of a human being. One or two miles away from the clay figure, there was a cannon in red.

In fact, its original name should be Hongyi Cannon. It was imported from the sea by red-haired Europeans. Later, it was spread that it changed from Hongyi Cannon to Red Cannon. There are not many of these things. There are only 36 doors in Nanjing. Because the number is so small, each door has its own name.

For example, the one currently standing here is called "Hangtian Weiyi General Cannon."

When the civil servants saw this thing, they knew that today's protagonist must be it. The emperor and the queen took everyone to see this thing, and they didn't know what it meant.

Chen Huan asked Li Jieqiong to help him walk to the front of the cannon, glanced into the barrel, and then reached into the barrel and touched it. This touch immediately touched several spiral groove lines, which is also the rifling. He gave Ayu a thumbs up: "Very good, Ayu, you did a great job with this rifling."

"Please call Weichen rich! This rifling was not done by the subordinates, but by the subordinates supervising the craftsmen. I dare not take credit for it."

"Well, Ayu, what you supervised can be considered as yours. Okay, let the artillery come over, load up the ammunition, and prepare for the test fire."

Two artillerymen came from the side and began to load the cannon with ammunition.

At this time, the generals had already begun to discuss: "Hey, the distance between the cannon and the clay figure should be one mile, right?"

"Well, more than one mile! It should be almost two miles away."

One mile is 500 meters, and two miles is one kilometer. Older officials can't see this far. The clay figurines a mile away are just a little bit smaller when they look at them.

Everyone saw that the cannon and the clay figure were placed opposite each other, and they knew that it was going to be a test shot, but this is too far away, one mile! A whole mile. Shooting a clay figure with a cannon from a mile away makes it strange that Nima is hit.

A military commander stood up on the spot: "The emperor, the queen, if the final general is not wrong, this is a cannon shooting test? But is it really good to be placed so far? Although the red cannon can hit the farthest It’s ten miles, but the accuracy of the shelling is extremely close, and targets tens of meters away can be hit crooked. How far can this clay figure go one mile, how can the artillery hit it?"

"If you can't beat it, don't you know if you try it?" Chen Huan smiled: "Stand aside and watch it obediently."

The queen said so, the military commander had to retreat, he retreated to a large group of military officers, and said, "This is just a waste of ammunition, no matter what, let's take a break and listen to a cannon for a while. Where to go depends entirely on luck."

The military commanders thought it so, they took up their hands together, and prepared to watch the show in the mood of watching amusement.

At this moment, Chen Huan suddenly turned around and smiled and said to the generals: "Generals, do we want to bet on a small lottery? Just bet this cannon, within three cannons, can you hit the clay figure? ."

Chapter 532 Test Cannon

9 o'clock in the morning, regular update

bet? Almost all the generals in ancient times were good gamblers. How could they kill time if they didn't gamble in the barracks? A military commander heard that he was going to bet, and he jumped up and shouted, "Betting, betting, and betting! I can't make a bet within three shots, one hundred taels of silver."

Another general jumped out and shouted, "One hundred taels is too stingy, I bet five hundred taels."

"And me, I have to bet."

A large group of military commanders generously donated their money, and it didn't take long before the bet actually fell by several thousand taels.

Chen Huan said in an unpleasant manner: "Damn, you are too rich, right? Look at Shang Shu Ayou from the Ministry of Engineering. He is so poor that I heard that he has to weigh a little bit of meat if he wants to eat meat. Your official position is clear. It is lower than Shangshu, and the salary is much lower. As a result, a few hundred taels of silver are smashed indiscriminately? It must be the people's anointing."

The generals stubbed their heads in embarrassment. Well, they do have corruption and bribery. How can they dare to be more prosperous than incorruptible? Originally, this was not a big deal. Apart from being rich, who was not greedy? But it was a bit embarrassing to be caught and questioned by the emperor and queen.
