Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3459

More than [-] rebels charged, and the originally well-organized formation instantly disintegrated, some were fast, some were slow, some rushed forward, and some deliberately slowed down. The formation of more than [-] people became sparse, and there was no Filled with the momentum of charge.

The military general was annoyed at the rear sweeping formation, but he couldn't do anything about it. The farmers, government soldiers, and domestic slaves gathered temporarily had never been trained together. How could they know how to fight?Especially seeing that there are hundreds of people who are like herding sheep behind the brigade, and are unarmed. These people's weapons have been "blackmailed" by Cen Changqian, and I feel more and more frustrated...

……

Cen Changqian rushed to the gate of the casting bureau with the academy students. The guards on the wall saw the rebels far behind, opened the gate immediately, let the academy students in, and then closed the gate again.

If the rebels hadn't spared their lives so much and charged together with the academy students, things would have been more troublesome, and they couldn't have let all the enemies in regardless...

Cen Changqian entered the casting bureau, and immediately said loudly: "Who is in charge?"

A tall, thin, middle-aged man in an official robe strode forward, clasped his fists and said, "I'm Liu Xun, the doctor of the military department, but I'm Mr. Cen Lang?"

Cen Changqian hurriedly said, "I'm the one who met Liu Langzhong."

The two greeted each other, and the rebels' shouts of charging could be heard outside, and Liu Xun was also very happy: "Although I am a doctor of the Ministry of War, I don't know anything about military affairs. If you can preside over the defense here, I will definitely assist you and do your best.”

If it was placed a few years ago, it would be impossible to say these words from his mouth anyway.

What does it matter if you are proficient in military strategy?Lao Tzu is now the highest official here, everyone has to listen to me, no matter whether this battle is won or lost, everyone has to listen to my command, this is the most important thing.

In a word, he has a strong desire for power.

But since Fang Jun entered the Ministry of War, he first suffered a series of suppression, and then Fang Jun entrusted him with important tasks, which changed his concept bit by bit.In today's Ministry of War, Fang Jun is an unshakable pinnacle of stability. No one can shake Fang Jun's supremacy, whether inside or outside the yamen, or in the government and the public. Fang Jun's words are nothing less than imperial edicts in the Ministry of War.

However, Fang Jun has never participated in those specific affairs. For example, he took the power of rewards and punishments in the army back from Weiwei Temple with great effort, and then handed it over to Cui Dunli. He never asked about any of these matters affairs, let alone use it to enhance prestige and win favors.

Acting from top to bottom, Cui Dunli will continue to delegate these matters after proposing a general direction.

Today's Ministry of War, even if it is only a mere chief, has power comparable to that of a minister in certain matters.

This is unbelievable in other ministries, but the current military department is running smoothly. Even if Fang Jun is in the Western Regions, no one in the yamen dares to go against the overall direction and act on his own.Because once he dares to do something against the interests of the Ministry of War, his subordinates and colleagues around him will immediately refute it, because even subordinates have such power.

Liu Xun is just a doctor in the military department, and he is still in the lower group. In front of him, there are at least five or six people with higher positions than him, but he can control the casting bureau with one hand, and hold such a key government office tightly. Holding it in his hand, except for Fang Jun, he can ignore anyone's request or threat.

This made him feel very refreshed.

While trying, it is inevitable to seek promotion and promotion, but is the purpose of promotion and promotion just to look bigger and sound more majestic?Liu Shi didn't think so. He believed that the ultimate goal of a bigger official and a bigger noble was to gain more power.

So even if he was just a doctor of the Ministry of War, he rejected the solicitation of the King Jin's faction, and the uncle of the Princess Jin was willing to let Fang Jun drive him.Because he understands that the faction of the King of Jin wooed him because of his current power and value in the Ministry of War. Without these, he would not even be a fart.If he left the Ministry of War, it would be useless to give him a chancellor.

Could it be that he thought that as a prime minister, he would be able to boss him around, follow his words, and possess the power that a prime minister should have?

Impossible.

So what he valued was the real power in his hands, not the position of a puppet.

He is the chief officer of the Foundry Bureau. If he can stick to this place and ensure that it is not lost during this crisis, then the greatest credit will naturally be his chief official. No matter how heroic Cen Changqian is, how can he surpass him as the chief above the official?
Know how to delegate power at the right time, and let capable people do what they are best at. This is what a smart person does.

It's the most stupid thing in the world to cling to power even though you're not good at something, and to command indiscriminately just to show off your power as an officer, and the result is to make chickens fly and eggs to fight...

When he taught power so simply, Cen Changqian hesitated for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Is this... appropriate?"

Although he was smart since he was a child and received countless praises, he was full of self-confidence, but after all, he was young and lacked experience. At such a critical moment, he was required to be in charge of such a critical casting bureau, and he had to command more than a thousand soldiers, hundreds of students, and a few soldiers. The thousand students who are waiting to come here are not sure what to do.

Too much to do.

And Liu Xi is surprisingly straightforward, in case there is some conspiracy to throw the blame...

However, Liu Shi understood Cen Changqian's scruples, waved his hand, and said decisively: "Officials of our military department never shirk their responsibilities, and are better at knowing people's duties. I said that the command power here is entrusted to you, and I will do what I say. Help me with all my strength, without any hindrance. Even if you order me to rush out of the city at this moment, I will gladly obey your orders, and I will not dare to refuse. If you can keep this casting bureau, I will give you the credit. If you can't, it will be your fault No one blames you for the responsibility of an official! How about it, I have heard that Mr. Cen's family has the style of an uncle and the talent of a minister, but he doesn't know whether he dares to take on the heavy responsibility and turn the tide?"

Cen Changqian was a little timid at first, but when he was excited by him, his pride suddenly arose, and he said loudly: "Why don't you dare? If you face the mob of rebels and shrink back, what are you talking about helping the country and making contributions? Come!"

"exist!"

"Quickly check the warehouse, count the types and quantities of firearms, and then distribute them according to the usual military training standards, and arm the students!"

"Here!"

Several academy students who are proficient in calculations lead the way.

Cen Changqian looked at the people next to him again: "Send someone out to meet the other two students, order them to hurry up and arrive here immediately, and fight against the rebels together."

"Here!"

"The rest of you are waiting to line up here, equip your weapons and go on the wall to meet the enemy. Don't waste your strength, you must give the rebels a head-on blow. Wait until the students arrive before changing defenses. You will withdraw and let the students stand on top of you. Always keep the same A team of 200 people with sufficient physical strength will be used as a reserve army to support everywhere at any time."

"Here!"

……

The students opened the door of the warehouse and were overjoyed when they saw the piles of firearms.The Foundry Bureau is the ordnance center, the most important thing, and the management is very strict. Although the number of firearms is piled up like a mountain, there is no need to clean up and check each one. A warehouse clerk has already come forward with a thick account book to hand it over.

The students and the soldiers moved the thunderbolts, muskets, gunpowder, and even more than a dozen cannons out of the warehouse, and some people quickly counted them with ledgers.The current situation is urgent, although there are some errors in the numbers, but as long as the errors are not serious, naturally there is no time to worry about it, so we just indicate the reason on the ledger, and the Ministry of War will settle the accounts with the warehouse clerk afterwards.

Although the students have never actually been on the battlefield, they have been conducting military training since the establishment of the academy, and they have practiced from time to time in the past six months, and they are very proficient in distributing weapons.The students who got the weapons lined up neatly, and then immediately rushed to the wall to meet the enemy.

Liu Xi saw that although Cen Changqian was a bit edgy, but everything was arranged in an orderly manner, these students were also calm in their busy schedules, and their morale was high, so he couldn't help but stroke his beard and admire.

As expected, it was drilled by Fang Er's guy. Looking at this strength, he can fight even against the regular army!
Outside the gate, the rebels swarmed in. The defenders on the wall used muskets and crossbows to shoot condescendingly. Regardless of the bullets from the muskets or the sharp arrow clusters, the rebels were seriously lacking in armor and could not resist. The river is like a mud doll, melting and peeling off layer by layer as it advances.

After finally rushing to the gate, bullets rang out from the archery towers on both sides, and thunderbolts fell from the sky into the rebel formation, causing people to be turned upside down and howls everywhere.

The general in the lead looked at the students running back and forth on the wall and on the arrow tower, and was so angry that he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood!

I thought I could drive these students to rush forward and block the defenders' wounds for me, but I was fooled by their cleverness. These little bastards actually tricked me, and they fought back with one hand, so painful that he just wanted to to die.

so embarrassing...
