Chapter 10 (9) Robbing Emperor Chongzhen

However, in the city of Beijing, after receiving the letter issued by Li Zicheng urging war criminals to surrender, Emperor Chongzhen immediately took the case: sent an order to let Wu Xiang, who had just been transferred to the capital, enter the palace to discuss matters. Wu Xiang came, knelt down and kowtowed: Your Majesty, have you eaten yet? Chongzhen asked: Wu Xiang, Li Zicheng has corrected millions of teachers here, do you have any way to get rid of him? Wu Xiang said with a smile: "When soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when water comes, the soil will be flooded."

Chongzhen's spirit was lifted: Then, if you are asked to come, how many people will it take to put down Li Zicheng, a million-dollar thief? Wu Xiang smiled and stretched out three fingers. Chong Zhen was startled: Three million?You are in a daze, where are there so many soldiers in this big day? Wu Xiang shook her head: No, no, I don't mean three million. So three hundred thousand?Chongzhen finally felt relieved. No and no.Wu Xiang continued to shake her head: I don't mean three hundred thousand? Could it be thirty thousand?Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wu Xiang suspiciously: "Don't be ridiculous, old man Wu, Li Zicheng already has millions of people here, so 30,000 of you are worthless."

Wu Xiang smiled and said: "No, no, what I mean is not 30,000." So how many people do you really want?Chong Zhen was confused. Wu Xiang laughed and said, "What I mean is three thousand people." What?Do you dare to say that you can use 3,000 people to put down Li Zicheng's millions?Emperor Chongzhen yelled: Come here, beat me on the back, I really can't fucking take it anymore. After pounding his back for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen always came through in one breath, and complained: Wu Xiang, stop joking with me, this is critical. Wu Xiang said: I am not joking, I am serious.

are you serious?Seriously!Emperor Chongzhen really got angry: You think I am a fool, dare to say that three thousand people will put down a million chaos, who will believe you when you say that? Wu Xiangdao: Your Majesty does not know, the three thousand people I mentioned are not soldiers, they are my sons, my brothers, since these people were born, they have grown up beside me, I eat corn They eat steamed buns made of flour, I sleep on a hard bed, they sleep on Simmons, I drink plain water, they drink fine wine, my wife and I eat chaffy vegetables, but they all have a lot of beauties and give birth to a lot of ghosts son.It is precisely because I treat them so kindly that if something happens, they will risk their lives to repay it with all sincerity.If I had brought these 3,000 people into battle, then Li Zicheng would have been wiped out.

Understood, Chongzhen finally came to his senses: So it is like this, old man Wu, you eat cornbread every day... It's really hard for you, but luckily your teeth are not bad.Well then, the task of eliminating Li Zicheng's gang will be entrusted to you. Wu Xiang stood at attention: Please rest assured, Your Majesty, and promise to complete the task. Chong Zhen closed his eyes in relief: I am tired. It means to let Wu Xiang retreat. But Wu Xiang refused to retreat: Your Majesty, you forgot to mention the salary and bonus... By the way, soldiers pay, the emperor does not send hungry soldiers.Emperor Chongzhen laughed: You only have 3,000 people...how much money do you want?

Wu Xiang said: Your Majesty, let's pay some living expenses first, the amount of military pay is too high, we have to take it slow. living expenses?Chongzhen was dizzy when he heard it: How much do you need for living and resettlement expenses for these three thousand people? Wu Xiang said: "Not much, not much, it's just one million taels of silver." One million taels?Emperor Chongzhen jumped up with a bang: Come, someone is robbing. You only have 3,000 people on hand, and you dare to ask for 1 million taels for living and resettlement expenses.Old man Wu, you are too dark, right?
