Emperor's Resurrection Tournament: Li Shimin single-handedly cleans the Tumu Fort!

"Your Majesty review, all camps assemble!"

"Raise the yellow flag and act according to orders!"

At the sound of the order, all the horses in the camp hurriedly left the camp.

I came to the big clearing in the middle.

Liu Chan looked at the soldiers wearing light armor, and his steps were quite neat.

The speed of the assembly is not slow, and the queue is quite neat.

From these tiny details, you can see the combat effectiveness of a team.

As the so-called orders are prohibited, the degree of execution of orders is often the combat effectiveness of the army.

The current impression is not bad.

A simple inspection table, or a layer of wood.

Lu Xiangsheng arched his hand to the emperor and said.

"Your Majesty, all the battalions have arrived, do you want to start the review?"

Liu Chan nodded.

"Let's get started. "

Someone waved the flag in his hand and shouted loudly.

"Let's go!"

With an array of more than 10,000 people, shouting alone is definitely not enough.

Conspicuous flags are used as a herald tool.

"Firecracker!"

A group of soldiers armed with muskets left the ranks.

Looking at these people, Liu Chan remembered the Shenji Battalion.

Today's officers and soldiers are basically equipped with firearms as weapons.

"Put!"

Then he pointed at the target in front of him and pulled the trigger.

"Bang! bang. "

A few people hit the bullseye with precision.

But no one else has it, it's not that they have bad eyes.

It's that the fire gun didn't hit the projectile!

Seeing this scene, Liu Chan couldn't help frowning.

If you can't hit it, isn't it just a burning stick?

Such a firearm is not as good as a knife!

This was followed by a rehearsal of the artillery.

"Put!"

"Bang! bang. "

It's still the same problem, and quite a few of the cannons are dumb.

Liu Chan, who frowned, got up from the chair and walked off the review stand.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Wang Chengen and Wei Zhongxian hurriedly walked a few steps to keep up.

In such an environment, they are somewhat afraid of military generals.

In case the other party has any misdeeds, he will be unable to escape.

"Show me. "

Liu Chan walked up to a soldier and reached out to take the opponent's firearm.

can't be said to be exquisite, it can only be said that the age of this fire gun may be a little older than Li Dingguo who is following behind. 18

Then, Liu Chan took the soldiers' firearms and looked at them in turn.

To his surprise, some people didn't even have a trigger.

Liu Chan threw it on the ground and finally got angry.

"It's strange that such a fire gun can hit the target!

You will go to battle with such firearms?"

Lu Xiangsheng looked at a commander behind him, and the other party immediately knelt on the ground and said.

"Dare to let Your Majesty know, the last general, this is the case when the end comes.

I wrote several essays to it, but I never got a reply. "

"Your Majesty, the minister has also informed Jingshi of this matter.

However, the household department has no money, and the Ministry of Industry is busy, even if you have money, you have to queue up slowly. "

When Lu Xiangsheng spoke, Liu Chan had already walked in front of the cannon.

After a few random kicks, I found that this thing was similar to the firecracker.

It's old and not easy to use.

"Has it been like this all the time?"

Liu Chan said with mixed feelings.

There are some things that can only be seen clearly when he comes in person.

He thought that the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were weak and their combat strength was simply because their salaries were deducted.

However, the reduction of strength is all-round and all-level.

Liu Chan ordered a few soldiers in front of him to take off the light armor on his body.

Sure enough, the outside is still glamorous, but the inside is indescribable.

It's nowhere near as sturdy as it was designed.

The weak protection still brings comfort to the soldiers' hearts.

You can't protect against arrows, and you can't protect against knives and guns.

Or it can be prevented, but only a few times.

"Your Majesty, it's not just a few years ago, it's always been like this. "

Lu Xiangsheng arched his hand and continued.

"Your Majesty, in fact, this kind of situation has actually been going on for a long time.

Twenty years ago, when the last general was just a small flag, it was like this. "

The commander said as he knelt on the ground.

The two of them have said so much, and in the final analysis, there is still no money.

They don't have money, they don't have money, they can't build good armor and good firearms.

"With such a man and horse, you can defeat several times the rebel army in three months?"

Liu Chan couldn't help but ask.

Three months also included a rush, and in fact there was very little time for combat.

There are more than 10,000 people here, the training is passable, and all the armor and weapons are stretched.

There are at least 50,000 or even 60,000 rebels.

plus the young and middle-aged people who are coerced, there are even more, and the 100,000 with weapons can't be stopped.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Xiangsheng nodded seriously.

"Your Majesty, three months should be able to completely wipe out the two rebel armies. "

Liu Chan, who gasped, looked at the person in front of him.

I thought he was a mediocre talent, but I didn't expect him to be capable.

Of course, it can't be compared to Yue Fei, but it can be compared to his Ming colleagues.

There are so many shining points.

"Can Shunde Mansion build weapons?"

"The craftsmen here can only make some knives and guns, and the firearms are barely enough.

However, it is not skilled enough, and it takes a long time. "

"Give you thirty thousand, fifty thousand taels of silver, and you can spend it as you like."

Those two rebel armies, you do your best. "

Liu Chan said that, and left the barracks with a sigh.

Daming's mess is really rotten to the root.

All-round rotten!

He wanted to give the other party a little more silver, but there was not much money in the inner treasury.

Who knows what else will happen before going to the south?

It's been a month, and Beizhili hasn't even gone out!

Watching the emperor leave, the commander kneeling on the ground breathed a sigh of relief.

Stood up and arched his hand.

"Lord Lu, it's really thrilling.

The subordinates still thought that they were going to be held accountable and killed by His Majesty!"

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said melancholy.

"Your Majesty today is actually a holy monarch.

It's just that this world, alas.

It was too much to be ruined by the previous emperors, and this one worked very hard. "

As the second-grade inspector, Lu Xiangsheng naturally knows about the past few years.

Liu Chan invested tens of millions of taels in military salaries.

But this money barely allowed Liaodong to pay the food and salaries it owed, and it was able to fight normally.

There are also some of them, scattered and scattered to fight the rebels.

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are really a bottomless pit.

Subsequently, fifty thousand taels of silver were sent to the barracks.

Everyone, including Lu Xiangsheng, has never seen such a sharp allocation in their lives.

They all said in surprise.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"It's still Lord Lu who is clever, and he thought about canceling the demonstration of guns and cannons.

I was afraid of showing my ugliness, but I didn't expect to be blessed by misfortune!"

"Lord Lu is clever!"

Lu Xiangsheng just smiled slightly, "Only let Your Majesty see the real situation."

The problem of the half-month deadline is solved. "

The 50,000 taels were really an accident.

Surprised, the commander asked.

"Lord Lu, how do you fight this time?"

The other party thought for a moment and said after pondering for a moment.

"Leave 30,000 taels of silver, and give 20,000 taels of reward to the soldiers.

Then send troops tomorrow and go to deal with the rebellious army in Wu'an first!"

It's too late to build a weapon, and it can only be used as a salary and reward.

The other party was stunned, "Lord Lu, are you a little anxious?"

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head.

"It is indeed not like to let His Majesty stay in Shunde for three months.

First thunder to destroy a chaotic army. "

From his many years of experience in encircling and suppressing the peasant army, the rebel army grew rapidly and rapidly.

After all, the grain and silver were directly grabbed, and they were much faster than the household allocation.

"Yes!"

Next.

Liu Chan was patrolling the largest granary near Shunde Mansion.

He knows that the most important thing in fighting a war is actually the logistical burden.

At least when you have a full stomach, you can have combat effectiveness at all.

Without water and food for three or five days, no matter how powerful the men and horses are, they can't stand it!

"Your Majesty, this is the account book of all the years. "

The little clerk in charge of the grain said with a flattering smile.

Liu Chan grabbed a handful with his own hands and put it in his mouth, mixed with the old grain and new grain.

Barely passed.

"Well, this morning Lu led the army to attack.

This food is their life, and it must be delivered on time. "

Looking at the barn full of grain bags, Liu Chan nodded.

Just as he was about to leave, Li Dingguo, who had become a guard, stared with wide eyes. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

I've never seen so much food in my life!

Just looking at the mountain-like grain bags, he couldn't be in a good mood.

He ran from the front to the back, watching excitedly.

However, when you put it on the bag, it doesn't feel right.

Too delicate, is grain supposed to be like this?

"Your Majesty, this grain is not quite right. "

Seeing this, Liu Chan next to him raised his hand slightly.

Some guards pierced the bag with a knife, and it was not rice that flowed out.

It's sand everywhere!

"Your Majesty, this. "

Li Dingguo froze in place, and then took out a knife and pierced several grain bags next to him.

"This!"

It's all sand!

Looking at this scene, Liu Chan just let out a low voice.

"Check!"

Half a day's work passed, and the granary was searched to the bottom.

"Report, Your Majesty, there is only less than thirty percent of the grain!"

Liu Chan, who heard the words, looked at the other party coldly.

A clear and concise word.

"Kill!"

"Yes!"

Subsequently, the Janissaries were dispatched and brought in more than a dozen people.

First of all, all the people in charge of this warehouse will be killed!

Without exception, these people all fell to their knees and begged for mercy.

"Your Majesty spares your life!"

"Your Majesty, that's how it was when we came!"

"I know you're here to review, so I use this multiplication method!"

"Your Majesty, it's like this everywhere!"

Their pleas for mercy were of no avail.

"Ahh

After a few screams, more than a dozen corpses were scattered on the ground.

Looking at them, what Liu Chan was thinking about now was, what should I do with Lu Xiangsheng's military rations?

From Shunde to Wu'an, it can only be transported by land.

When people eat horses and chew, they have to consume a lot.

Hit it faster, and it can be used.

If you delay for two or three months, it will not be enough.

The pensive Liu Chan walked out of the granary, and the cry of a woman not far away brought him back to his senses.

It turned out to be the wives and children of those little officials, more than a dozen, who were kneeling on the ground and crying at the moment.

Since then, the family has no support, only orphans and widows remain.

"Your Majesty. "

Li Dingguo stared blankly, this matter was too difficult for him to understand.

Perhaps, these officials just didn't report it.

Those who resold grain were all Shangguan, and they only took a little benefit.

But did those officials change their lives?

Damn it!

It is not an exaggeration to go out on a large army, whether according to the law or otherwise.

If the army is defeated by the rebellious army because of the lack of food, I don't know how many cities and people will be affected!

However, the dozen or so weeping family members on the ground are real.

Liu Chan glanced at it and left without looking back.

For him, it's simple.

The little officials guarding the granary have families, and Lu Xiangsheng and the 10,000 army have families.

The two cities of Wu'an and Leping have tens of thousands of families.

It is clear which is more important at a glance.

After returning to Shunde Mansion, for a long time.

Liu Chan was worried about how to raise enough military rations.

Grain is a thing, and buying it in small batches is naturally not a problem.

However, if you buy large quantities in one place for a short period of time, food prices will soar.

Shunde Mansion is not big, the military rations may be gathered, but the people in the city are suffering.

"Your Majesty, there is a person who has a way to solve the matter of military rations. "

Seeing that the emperor was so sad, Wang Chengen arched his hand and said.

Then he handed over a book.

"It's kind of interesting, starting with the gentry landlords. "

After Liu Chan read it, he asked.

"What kind of person is this, or is he an official?"

The other party arched his hand and said.

"Your Majesty, this person's name is Sun Chuanting.

It is said that he came from Shanxi, and when he heard that he wanted to raise food, he had to offer a plan. "

"Sun Chuanting, how big an official is it?"

In Liu Chan's impression, there is no impression of this name at all.

"Your Majesty, this person used to be the chief inspector of the Ministry of Officials.

He resigned in the fifth year of the apocalypse. "

After a while, Wang Chengen checked clearly, and also looked at Wei Zhongxian not far away.

The implication is that I couldn't get used to this eunuch at that time.

"I've been idle for ten years, let's see how much this person has. "

Liu Chan didn't care too much, and gave Sun Chuanting an official position at will.

The official robe was taken from the Shunde Mansion, and the official seal was ready-made.

Give it a try.

Unexpectedly, Sun Chuanting gave Liu Chan a big surprise. 210......

The home of the largest local gentry.

Sun Chuanting wore an official uniform and sat on the main seat.

Sitting around were all gentry and landlords with names and surnames in Shunde Prefecture, and there were more than ten people.

"I've seen Master Sun. "

"Lord Sun, please smile and accept the small gifts brought below. "

Now Sun Chuanting's official position is to be a senator of the political envoy, from the fourth grade.

Moreover, it was the emperor who accepted his order on the spot, and he also had the errand of raising military rations.

Second only to the second grade of the political envoy.

Master Sun smiled a lot. "

What everyone handed over was a list of famous posts and a list of gifts.

Since it was a gift, he naturally wouldn't let Sun Chuanting take it back alone.

Instead, he asked for a good place and secretly sent it over in the evening.

Sun Chuanting, who heard the words, did not refuse, but said with his hand.

"We need a lot of help from you to raise military rations this time.

This Wu'an and Leping are not far from Shunde Mansion.

If the military rations are insufficient, Lord Lu loses the battle and retreats, this place will be dangerous. "

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding gentry and landlords all looked at each other a few times.

The old man with the lead said with a smile.

"What Master Sun said is that it is our duty to share worries for the country.

I don't know how much money you need this time, Lord Sun?"

Sun Chuanting stood up, shook his head and said.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is no need for gold or silver this time, only food.

At present, the shortfall is 10,000 stone of military rations, and I hope you can contribute generously. "

All the gentry and landlords he invited this time were gentry and landlords who had a grain business.

If there is extra food in the city, then the big head is on them.

As soon as this sentence came out, the gentry hesitated.

Donate some silver, everyone can say, the food is different.

It's troubled times.

The people present knew this concept, so they began to store food a long time ago.

"It is natural to be loyal to the country. "

The old man looked at the others and continued.

"I'll give fifty stone of grain. "

"I'll give you twenty stone of grain. "

"I'll give fifteen stone of grain. "

Sun Chuanting calculated in his heart, adding up to more than a hundred stones.

It's 10,000 stones, but it's far away.

He opened the stack of famous posts and looked at them a few times.

Said helplessly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are willing to give Sun such a heavy gift.

But don't you want to take out some food from the imperial court?

If so, you can buy it at the current market price!"

As soon as these words came out, the gentry still chose to remain silent.

In these days, grain is much more precious than silver.

In spring and winter, a few buckets of grain can be exchanged for a few acres of fertile land from the hands of hungry people.

This is much more cost-effective than selling grain, a hundred times more profitable.

Seeing this, Sun Chuanting showed no mercy and called the soldiers outside the door.

Screams were heard from inside the house.

Seeing blood and corpses, all the gentry immediately became honest.

"Master Sun, it's wrong, it's wrong.

Five hundred stones!"

"Ah, yes, I'm three hundred stones!"

Subsequently, more than 5,000 stone of military rations were gathered the next day.

When Liu Chan found out, he couldn't help but exclaim.

"Sun Chuanting is a talent!"
