Chapter 134 Miss Azhu and I are heroes and have similar views

Xu Xingxia curled her lips and said disdainfully: "It's another one who only looks at the book numbers. I tell you, don't follow the crowd, but have to investigate on the spot! Who told you that Ningxia Town has 70,000 government troops? Those are all numbers on the book, which are used to deceive the people. The actual posts in Ningxia Town are less than 30,000!"

Zhu Hengzhi frowned and said with some angrily: "Okay, even if there are only 30,000, the number is still large. The 30,000 official army cannot fight against the 1,000 Tartars? Can they not beat one of thirty? Even a group of pigs defeated the Tartars!"

Xu Xingxia smiled and said, "Among these 30,000 official troops, the military households in Weizhen Fort account for 400. Do you think that these military households in Weizhen Fort can defeat the Tartars? Do you think that the military households in Weizhen Fort are all pigs? Do you have the courage to go outside and talk?"

Zhu Hengzhi was speechless and her face looked very strange. She subconsciously wanted to refute Xu Xingxia's words, but she didn't know where to start refuting. She knew that Xu Xingxia always used misunderstandings to teach her a lesson, but it was not easy for her to fight back with his misunderstandings.

After a while, she said unwillingly: "You say that the 30,000 official troops in Ningxia Town are like your uncle? The same is true for those soldiers?"

Xu Xingxia nodded and said without any concealment: "My uncle is a craftsman, and craftsman does not need to fight. It is not appropriate to use him as an example. War soldiers? Hehe, how good can war soldiers be? Let me tell you, war soldiers are worse. They are not fighting for the court, they are fighting for their bosses."

Zhu Hengzhi frowned and said, "Other military households are probably not as good as your uncle, a craftsman! I said, why are the government troops so afraid of war? They are so bad! It's hard to imagine. Poor courts spend so much food every year to raise these people! If I had known this, it would be better to form another new army!"

Xu Xingxia looked at Zhu Hengzhi sideways and said with a smile: "Miss Azhu, do you really dare to say it? Another new army? Where will the original military households be put? All of them are laid off? Do you want them to rebel? Now that the owed money and grain, the military households are constantly causing trouble. If you drive them away, it would be strange if the world is not in chaos. Just disbanding the postmen, a Li Zicheng came out. If you want to disband the military households in the world, how many Li Zicheng must have popped up?"

Zhu Hengzhi frowned and said, "Who is Li Zicheng?"

Xu Xingxia then remembered that Li Zicheng was still called Li Hongji now, so she smiled and covered her up and said, "Anyway, it's a fierce man. Miss Azhu, I tell you, if you follow your ideas, this country would have collapsed long ago. Do you think those big men in the court are not as smart as you? It's so whimsical and unrealistic!"

Zhu Hengzhi said a little angrily: "It is natural to be a soldier to eat food and fight. However, you can't just eat food and not fight! The country's tax revenue is always limited, and you can't waste it in vain! Limited tax revenue must be used on the edge!"

Xu Xingxia stared at Zhu Hengzhi for a moment, then suddenly stretched out her hand and pressed her hard on her forehead. His movement was very natural, and he felt like he was pressing his little sister, without any awareness of men and women not being able to get along with each other.

Zhu Hengzhi was caught off guard and almost retreated by her. She didn't think Xu Xingxia's move was intimate. She subconsciously felt that he was despising her and molesting her. She suddenly became angry and said sharply: "Hey! What are you doing when you touch me?"

Xu Xingxia sneered and said coldly: "I thought your surname was Wu?"

Zhu Hengzhi was slightly stunned and realized for a moment. It turned out that he was talking about Wu Zetian. Her words just now were indeed a bit too high-level and condescending. No wonder it attracted his disgust. This rough man couldn't stand others showing off. Her face suddenly turned red and she said unconvincedly: "Am I wrong?"

Xu Xingxia shrugged, stared at her eyes seriously, and said meaningfully: "Miss Azhu, you are not wrong, but you know too much."

Zhu Hengzhi wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it. In front of Xu Xingxia, she found that many of her reasons could not be said. She suddenly remembered something and asked again: "By the way, you talked about the prince last time..."

Xu Xingxia immediately pretended to be stupid and said with a confused look on her face: "When did I say something about the prince, you must have heard it wrong."

Zhu Hengzhi was stunned and frowned and said, "You clearly said..."

Xu Xingxia said with a serious expression: "Miss Azhu, you can eat randomly, and you can't talk randomly. What evidence do you have to prove that what did I say to the prince?"

This is a typical scoundrel. Of course, Xu Xingxia did not deliberately act like a scoundrel, but could not understand Zhu Hengzhi's identity and her position. During the Wanli period, the matters about the prince and the Fu King were simply high-voltage lines, and anyone who touched them would be in danger. Because of this high-voltage line, at least four cabinet chiefs fell down.

That is the chief minister of the cabinet, one person, more than ten thousand people. Even such a big shot can't stand it, let alone other people. Xu Xingxia is not a fool, how could he easily participate in it? Last time he just said a few words casually, and now he has realized the seriousness of the problem. Since he has realized the danger, of course he must be cautious.

If Zhu Hengzhi belongs to the prince's group, Xu Xingxia would not mind holding the prince's thigh immediately. Historical development, Prince Zhu Changluo could finally succeed in ascending the throne. Although he died after only one month ascending the throne. However, as long as he hugged the prince's thigh, there would be no problem with a bright future. However, if Zhu Hengzhi was a member of the Fuwang Party, he would be in danger of being so irresistible.

The late Wanli period was the strangest period in the history of the Ming Dynasty. Many things that happened during this period were very strange, and were constantly distorted, covered up, and embellished, and were covered with a lot of mysterious colors. Coupled with the struggles of the crown prince, the struggles between the Donglin Party, the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party and other parties, they were really full of crises and landmines everywhere. Even bigwigs like Shangshu and Shishu, if you are not careful, you will pack up your burden and go home.

But Zhu Hengzhi held her feet and said in a sharp tone: "Xu Xingxia, you clearly said it, why did you deny it? You are not responsible at all!"

Xu Xingxia said with a smile on her face: "Miss Azhu, you are responsible. Then tell me, who do you want to ascend the throne?"

Zhu Hengzhi was suffocated and then said, "Of course I hope the crown prince will ascend the throne. The crown prince is the most upright in the world, and of course the crown prince should be in charge of the world in the future."

Xu Xingxia curled her smile and said seriously: "Miss Azhu and I are heroes and have similar views."

Zhu Hengzhi frowned and said, "Are you telling the truth or lies?"

Xu Xingxia said lightly: "This, I have to ask Miss Azhu to judge."

After saying that, he left with his longevity.

Ningxia City, General Officer's Office.

Li Guozhen was still playing with a big knife. The big knife weighing more than 30 kilograms was dancing in his hands. On one side of the martial arts field, there were broken stones. Obviously, when the dance was full of fun, Li Guozhen would raise the big knife and cut it directly on the stone. Next to the martial arts field, there were several big knives that were cut.

Obviously, Li Guozhen was not in a good mood. These days, Ningxia Town has been under a lot of external pressure, and the rumors inside Ningxia City have not been effectively curbed. Instead, they have had a negative effect because of the previous refutation of the rumors. Now, the people in Ningxia City are even more disgusted with the refutation of the rumors by the government.

The news that a thousand-man team of Tartars had already reached the capital, which was really surprising. This must be abnormal. Li Guozhen believed that someone must be behind the scenes. For safety reasons, he decided to do it more carefully.

Suddenly, footsteps came, and a young man appeared at the door of the martial arts training ground. It was his son Li Canran. Li Canran's face was obviously a little bad. He came to his father and said anxiously: "Dad, why have you started to mobilize troops? Are you really going to rescue Weizhen Fort?"

Li Guozhen slowed down his sword dancing posture, but did not stop, and said in a deep voice: "This is a national event, don't get involved."

Li Canran frowned and said, "Dad, that Xu Xingxia is so disrespectful to you. He shot the war horse you gave me to death. How could you let him go like this?"

Li Guozhen said expressionlessly: "This is a business, you don't understand."

Li Canran said angrily: "Dad, I can't understand. He is a small family, and you can kill him with just one finger. You transferred him to a remote place to deal with it with a transfer order. Isn't this absent-minded person?"

Li Guozhen glared at his son and said coldly: "What do you mean is to let your father go and deal with a hundred households in person?"

Li Canran was slightly stunned.

Li Guozhen hummed for a moment and said coldly: "You think of your father's identity as a person is too worthless, right?"

Li Canran was speechless. Yes, the general officer personally took action against a small family, and he would indeed be ridiculed. He had too high a status, and sometimes it was not omnipotent. He suddenly said, "Dad, can I lead a team too? I also want to go to Weizhen Fort."

Li Guozhen stopped the big knife and said with a little surprise: "You are going to Weizhen Fort? What are you going to Weizhen Fort?"

Li Canran said unnaturally: "Brothers fight, father and son fight, I..."

Li Guozhen sneered, interrupted him, and said sternly: "Who told you what did you say?"

Li Canran had no choice but to stammer: "...Someone told me that there is a girl named Zhu Hengzhi in Weizhen Castle..."

Li Guozhen frowned and said, "Who told you?"

Li Canran stammered: "...It is Zhang Qiuqing, the deputy of the Pinglu Qianhu Institute."

Li Guozhen was obviously not very familiar with this name. However, he was still very disgusted with others' specialty in dragging his son into the water. After all, no one wants his son to be an embroidered pillow, right? He shouted angrily: "Don't you get involved with those people! You know how to bother women all day long! Isn't it enough for a eldest lady of the Lin family? Don't you want to lose the qualification to sacrifice yourself, right?"

Li Guozhen is the general officer of Ningxia Town, which is a set of official positions. He also has another set of official positions, which is the hereditary commander of the Wei. His son Li Canran is the alternate commander of the Wei. His identity has a special name, called "Sheren", which is basically equivalent to the substitute in later generations. Once his father dies in battle or retires, he can make up for it.

Of course, this substitute cannot be easily carried out. More than a thousand households need to be assessed by the Ministry of War, which is even more so. Although, most of the time, this assessment is in formality, and even more so by the late Ming Dynasty. However, if the level of the servants is really unsuccessful, the possibility of the Ministry of War making things difficult for him is not ruled out.

However, with Li Canran's personality, he did not take the assessment of the Ministry of War seriously. He felt that except for the eldest son of Li Yunrui, the governor Li Maohui, no one else was as powerful as him. He was basically the biggest.

"Get out!" Li Guozhen cursed with regret.

Li Canran hurriedly ran away with his head in his arms.

Ningxia City, Governor's Office.

Governor Li Maohui was pacing back and forth outside the study with a gloomy face. In front of him, his son was Li Yunrui. Li Yunrui was hanging his head and accepting my scolding. Just now, his son scolded him for half an hour. Such treatment was unprecedented.

Li Maohui was not indifferent to his emotions, and when dealing with others, he was always kind. However, if his face became gloomy, it was quite terrible. He didn't communicate much with Li Yunrui. Civil officials basically believed in the style of being strict with father and filial son, and believed that they should never be too gentle to their son, and they must be harsh.

"Who made a report with you?" Li Maohui said gloomyly.

"It's... the deputy Qianhu of Pinglu Qianhu Station... called... Zhang Qiuqing." Li Yunrui said carefully.

"Get out!" Li Maohui shouted angrily.

Li Yunrui hurriedly ran away.

Of course, Xu Xingxia didn't know what happened outside. His daily life was very regular. In the morning, he organized training for soldiers in white clothes, and in the afternoon, he hosted Cuju competitions. As for the evening, he mainly patrolled the city walls. Occasionally, he chatted with some military households to understand their ideas, and at the same time comforted them.

In addition to monitoring the movements of the Tatar cavalry every day, there seems to be no exception in the lives of the military households in Weizhenbao. Zhu Hengzhi's teahouse still opens on time every day and closes on time every day, but Xu Xingxia did not take any further steps. Zhu Hengzhi didn't seem to have come out. Wang Qinian's grocery store was closed. His inventory was basically sold out.
