Even if someone has super manual skills and can imitate a Wolf Fang rifle, as long as the flash cap production technology is not leaked, then even if they can imitate the Wolf Fang rifle, it will be useless.

The large-scale use of the Langya II rifle also gives Yu Jiajun a stronger all-weather combat capability, and it is less and less affected by weather. Whether it is a windy day or a rainy day, the Langya II rifle

They can be fired more effectively, which is also one of the key factors for Yu Jiajun's repeated victories.

In front of the Yu Jiajun equipped with so many new weapons, the Ming Dynasty's old-style army or the ragtag army composed of some chaotic people were completely unable to compete with them.

The Yu family's army can often win battles with many times less troops than the enemy. This is why Yu Xiaotian was able to put down countless domestic rebellions with a small number of troops in just two or three years.

By the beginning of the 15th year of Chongzhen's reign, the entire Ming Dynasty had almost completely stabilized, and it was difficult to hear new unrest in certain places.

Although many places in the north are still affected by the climate and various natural disasters occur, due to the relatively efficient relief efforts of local governments, there are basically no more tragedies such as cannibalism, and the victims can basically receive minimum protection.

, did not cause too much trouble.

After the Shangyuan Festival in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen's reign, Yu Xiaotian finally found some time. News came from the palace that Chongzhen wanted to see him and wanted to discuss something with him.

So after Yu Xiaotian thought about it, he went to the palace again to meet the emperor. In the Wenhua Hall, he saw Emperor Chongzhen who had been under house arrest in the palace for three years.

Chongzhen, who had ignored political affairs for three years, had basically given up on it by this time. After seeing Yu Xiaotian, he seemed very calm and even had a casual chat with Yu Xiaotian.

Moreover, because Chongzhen no longer had to work hard and had to take care of everything every day, he lived a very leisurely life in the palace. He also became a little fatter and looked in good spirits.

Yu Xiaotian invented a poker game last year and was brought into the palace. Occasionally, Chongzhen came into contact with this new game and was very interested. So he often played cards with the concubines and eunuchs in the palace, and his life was easy.

It was quite a relaxing and fun time.

When Yu Xiaotian entered the palace, Chongzhen chatted with him for a while and suddenly asked Xiaotian: "Yu Xiaotian, I really admire you now!

Although I hated you deeply when you came to Beijing to seize power, but after so long of thinking about it, I have to admit that I am not as good as you!

In the more than ten years since I ascended the throne and took power in the Ming Dynasty, I really have to admit that although I have worked hard day and night, I have not been able to turn the tide. Instead, the affairs of the country have become increasingly chaotic. It is impossible for the emperor to establish slaves outside the customs and to pacify the rebellious people in various places internally.

But in just three years, you have accomplished what I cannot do, so even if I am reluctant now, I have to admit that you are indeed much stronger than me!"

This time when Yu Xiaotian entered the palace, Chongzhen no longer put on airs and sat behind the dragon table to talk to him. Instead, he had two chairs set up, a small table, and some refreshments on the table.

, the two people sat facing each other, unable to see the difference between monarch and minister.

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian also enjoyed this kind of treatment. After listening to Chongzhen's words, he nodded and smiled: "Your Majesty, don't belittle yourself. The fact that Wei Chen can achieve this level does not mean that Wei Chen is really better than the Holy Emperor."

!

It's just that Wei Chen was born at the bottom of the world, and he knows more about the hunger of the people and the shortcomings of officialdom than the Holy One. In addition, Wei Chen was lucky enough to get some things that others didn't know, which gave Wei Chen the opportunity to develop a skill.

Zhi Xiongbing, this is how you can do these things!

Weichen has always admired the Holy Lord for his diligence in political affairs after he ascended the throne. Although Weichen is now in charge of power, Weichen is relatively lazy and is far less diligent than the Holy Lord.

In fact, sometimes those in power don’t necessarily have to do everything themselves. They just need to grasp the key points and put capable people in the positions they should be placed. Occasionally give a nudge and let professionals do professional things. Compared with having to do everything by themselves, it is more effective.

It will be a hundred times better!

The most critical thing is supervision, keeping power in a cage. Once supervision is lost, these officials will never be as diligent as they are now!

In fact, Wei Chen is not too busy now. In fact, Wei Chen does not personally care about many things, so the officials below can do a good job. Wei Chen only needs to tell them what to do and how to do it, and then the rest

Just let them handle the matter on their own, and establish a complete supervision mechanism, which is much less labor-intensive than having to personally supervise and supervise!"

Chongzhen took a sip of tea, tasted Yu Xiaotian's words, nodded and sighed: "That makes sense! My biggest mistake at the beginning was that I could not know people and make good use of them! In addition, I was also criticized by those ministers.

They were so deceived that they blocked the sky with one hand below and went their own way, but I was always kept in the dark!

And I was born in the royal family. Although I have heard a lot about the hunger and suffering among the people, I know far less about the affairs of the people than you do. I am even less able to understand the corrupt methods in the officialdom. Therefore, although I am very

Diligent, but still don’t know what to do!

But you are from the common people, and you know these things very well. When you come to power, you can prescribe the right medicine and hit the vital point with one blow! Only then can you start to do things, and you can get twice the result with half the effort! I am not as good as you!"

Yu Xiaotian was very curious about why Chongzhen became so humble today. According to his understanding of Chongzhen, Chongzhen's character has always been relatively headstrong and he rarely admitted his mistakes. But today for some unknown reason, he praised and praised him repeatedly. This

He was really not used to it.

So Yu Xiaotian opened his mouth and asked Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, your praise is ridiculous! I wonder what your Majesty's orders are for recruiting a lowly minister into the palace this time?"

This sentence can be regarded as officially bringing the topic to the main topic.

Chongzhen looked at Yu Xiaotian who was silent for a while, and then said: "Now that you have put the world under your wings, I can guess what you want, but I want to ask you, do you

How do you plan to deal with me in the future?"

Yu Xiaotian also fell silent for a moment, took a sip of tea, and looked at Chongzhen. Chongzhen's face became nervous, staring at Yu Xiaotian's eyes, trying to see something in Yu Xiaotian's eyes.

.

After Yu Xiaotian thought about it for a while, he smiled and replied: "The Holy One need not worry about this. I will not hide it from the Holy One, but Yu has the intention to conquer the world, but he has never thought of harming the Holy One, although the Holy One's existence is indeed

It is a threat to me, but Yu believes that as long as I can govern the world well and let the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, then who is willing to go back to the past?

Even if there are some people with ulterior motives who want to use the Holy One to cause trouble, Yu is confident that they can be easily extinguished, so the existence of the Holy One is actually a spur to me, so I will not harm the Holy One!"

After listening to Yu Xiaotian's words, Chongzhen showed a trace of anger on his face, but he still suppressed the desire to get angry. After closing his eyes to calm down a little, he opened his eyes again and looked at Yu Xiaotian and said:

"The matter has come to this, and your plan to usurp the throne has been completed. Although I am unwilling to do so, there is nothing I can do about it!

I am not afraid of death. I have nothing to say about how you deal with me. However, there is nothing wrong with the princes under my knees. They were just born into the royal family! I just hope that you can keep their lives.

Even if we let them remain anonymous from now on and just be ordinary people! I wonder if you can agree to that?"

Yu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is serious. Although Yu's hands were stained with a lot of blood, he is not a murderous person. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Yu can guarantee that as long as His Majesty and several princes do not repeat the Ming Dynasty.

Heart, then I can promise that I will never harm you! Not even a hair will touch you! Yu Mou believes that he still has this credibility, and he will never go back on his words and make himself rich!

Of course, the premise is that the Holy Emperor and all the princes must also promise me not to do anything excessive, then I can definitely guarantee your safety!"

Chongzhen took a deep breath and forced himself to hold back the anger in his heart. Yu Xiaotian's words today made it very clear that he had decided to usurp the throne, and he said it openly in front of him.

For him, the current nominal emperor, no one would be happy to accept his ambition.

But in the past three years, Chongzhen lived under house arrest in the palace and accompanied his concubines, princes and princesses every day, which made his heart soften a lot. If Yu Xiaotian came to Beijing three years ago and said he wanted to usurp the throne,

He would not hesitate to commit suicide and die for his country, and would not hesitate to take these concubines, princes and princesses with him to be buried together, but now he found that he could no longer bear it.

In the past, as a father, he rarely had time to spend time with the princes and princesses due to his busy schedule, so even though he loved them, his feelings were not very deep. However, after these three years, he has established a relationship with the princes and princesses.

Chongzhen shuddered at the thought that one day Yu Xiaotian would try to kill them and put a butcher's knife on their necks.

This is also the reason why he recruited Yu Xiaotian to see him this time. He does not ask Yu Xiaotian to let him live when that day comes, but he hopes that Yu Xiaotian can let these princes and princesses go without harm.

them.

Today, Yu Xiaotian finally revealed his ambition, making it clear that he wanted to seize his world and live in it himself. As the emperor, how could Chongzhen not be angry, but now he also knew very well that everything was irreversible.

He could only let it be, but he had no ability to resist at all.
