After leaving Wusong Port, Wu Zheng went straight to the military academy without stopping.

This is what he cares most about this trip and is also where he needs to stay.

Training troops is what Wu Zheng urgently needs to do.

What made Wu Zheng happy was that the best selected from the new recruits had made great progress and become an elite team under the training of 50 people including Chi Erhan, Song An and others.

Wu Zheng's arrival made the soldiers cheer before cheer.

Wu Zheng's identity is obvious, which made the forty-nine people trained by Wu Zheng extremely excited. They understood that they really had the possibility of becoming a famous general.

However, this time, Wu Zheng did not participate in the training of musketeers.

His purpose was to train the first batch of artillery soldiers.

One hundred people were selected from the other 20,000 recruits to form a training camp. With ten heavy artillery and twenty mortars sent by Chen Shoujie, Wu Zheng began training the artillery.

....

At this time, in the Wuying Hall of Shuntian Prefecture Palace.

The carefully selected anthracite emits a sweaty heat accompanied by the red and shiny fire.

Inside and outside the hall are like two worlds.

The Empress Dowager Bumubutai and Emperor Fulin's faces were very gloomy.

"I bought firearms twice, once robbed by pirates, once intercepted by Wu Zheng, and even plagued the fine works that I had finally buried. You guys, are you trying to force the Ai family to death?"

As soon as this said, he said, "I am guilty!"

A large area fell to his knees except Dorgon.

Bumubutai's face did not improve because of the accusations of the ministers.

The first silver was for the royal merchants to "raise" the money. The second silver was taken out by her concubines and the palace expenses. Among them, her own gold, silver and jewelry alone was more than 100,000 taels.

I have to say that Bumubutai has indeed realized the master of the world.

But the fact is not what she could have imagined. The role model she set obviously only represents herself or the little emperor Fulin.

The people in front of her did not have her awareness at all.

Bumu Butai's heart was filled with disappointment, and even the hot charcoal fire could not cover up the coolness.

He has spent less than three times to subsidize the national treasury deficit, but what he has received was the collective greed of officials.

None of the ministers in front of him are rich and wealthy, but they just refuse to give away a tael of silver.

Think about it, this group of Han officials destroyed the Ming Dynasty. Will they still destroy the Qing Dynasty?

But Bumubutai clearly realized that the Qing Dynasty could not leave these people, otherwise how could it rule this huge empire with hundreds of thousands of people?

"Did you have no way to deal with the crimes?" Bumubutai's voice became sharper.

Hong Chengchou finally stood up and said: "Chen Hongfan, Sun Zhengqiang's exposure made Wu Zheng intercept these firearms. It is not up to me. It is difficult for our dynasty to argue with Yixing Dynasty... The current plan is nothing more than two. One is the formation of a new musket army. It will be temporarily stopped and will continue to be implemented after purchasing muskets next year..."

"No." Fulin screamed with a childish voice, and the voice echoed in the hall, "I will never allow it."

Bumu Butai smiled slightly and said to Hong Chengchou: "Hong Qing's family continues to talk about the second strategy."

Hong Chengchou attacked Fulin and continued: "One other strategy is to negotiate with Wu Zheng to save the firearms he intercepted. However, in this way, Wu Zheng will definitely speak out loud and may come up with some conditions that our dynasty cannot tolerate."

"What conditions will it be?" Fulin asked anxiously.

Hong Chengchou glanced at the Empress Dowager, then lowered his head and replied, "Silver, that's all the land."

Fulin was stunned.

Hong Chengchou explained: "When signing the armistice agreement, Wu Zheng had the intention to station troops in Taixing. Although he has withdrawn, Taixing has become an unpreparatory place where both sides do not station troops. Moreover, Wu Zheng occupied Jingjiang and was eyeing Taixing. If he goes to negotiate this time, he is likely to propose to exchange Taixing."

Fulin said sternly: "I will never exchange land."

These words caused Bumubutai nodded slightly.

Hong Chengchou also said slightly: "What the emperor said is very true! Then you can only use silver. But the problem is that there is no silver in the treasury. It is more than a month away from spring, and it is even further away from summer harvest. The court still needs to prepare for the rebellion against the Mongolian tribe after the beginning of spring... Emperor, the court really has no silver to save those muskets."

At this time, Dorgon, who had been sitting without saying a word, finally spoke.

Dorgon's face looked ugly, not because he was angry.

But because he was sick, he was a little seriously ill.

In fact, to be precise, his illness has been going on since he entered the pass.

The reason is simple. He has been fighting forever, and he has shed more blood and his body has collapsed. In addition, Dorgon, like his brother Duoduo, is a famous "lustful prince", so how can he recover from this body?

Dorgon said leisurely: "There is nothing to discuss. Where did the money from before come from and where are they from now?"

Everyone was shocked, and even Bumubutai's face changed.

Because Dorgon's words were absolutely impossible for him. The money he was referring to before must refer to the money he received from the imperial merchants. But even a rather unreasonable beast would feel embarrassed.

I just scraped a million taels from the Imperial Shang, and in less than two months, I would rather grab it directly.

Hong Chengchou hesitated and said to Dorgon: "The Regent may not know that he will borrow money from the royal merchants at this time. Even if the royal merchants agree, the court will be afraid... he will not be able to pay it back for the time being."

Dorgon snorted, "Then I won't borrow it."

"Uh..." Hong Chengchou was choked back by what he wanted to say. It turned out that what he said was not borrowing, but borrowing had to be repaid. If you take it, you don't have to pay it back.

How straightforward and neat?

But it is said that it is not a family, and it is not a family.

After hearing what Dorgon said, the young emperor Fulin had always hated his uncle very much, but now he agreed, "What the emperor's father and the Regent said is extremely difficult for the court. These people who have received the favor of the Qing Dynasty should share the worries of the court... However, taking is always a detriment to the court's face. In this way, the Ministry of Revenue issues repayment bills for three years... no, repaying them in five years. I will not treat them unfairly, and reward them for their adult life."

Fulin's opening speech is equivalent to a final conclusion, not that Fulin's majesty has reached the point where he has covered the sky with one hand.

But this plan was proposed by Dorgon, and the emperor agreed, so why would he still compete for a ball?

Everyone bowed and replied: "I will obey the order."
