Red Mansion: I relied on the AFK system to create a dynasty

Cen Mingche arrived at the queen's palace.

There is a side hall and a study room on the north and south sides.

Whenever Cen Mingche came, he would review the papers in the study on the south side, while the queen would handle official business in the study on the north side.

If the two of them have free time, they can go to the small hall in the middle, sit together, drink a cup of tea, and talk.

"Your Majesty, are you in a bad mood today?"

The queen casually asked the kitchen to bring some soup. Seeing that Cen Mingche's face was not good, she ordered the lotus seed and white fungus soup to relieve heartburn and moisturize the lungs.

Cen Mingche then told the queen in detail about the execution of the censors with sticks.

The Queen nodded thoughtfully.

"Although these censors are guilty, their crimes are not worthy of death. Your Majesty is using them as a weapon to frighten those who rely on their old age and want to take advantage of Your Majesty."

"That's right. It's not easy to make any big move now to prevent the court from being shaken. There are some strong people who are trying to screw with me. They just make sense. They use etiquette to suppress me every day. It's really ridiculous."

The queen covered her mouth and smiled and said: "The business is down to business. This time I have broken their courage. I know that Your Majesty is not easy to control. There will be fewer flies buzzing in the future."

After hesitating for a moment, she said again: "Your Majesty, do you want me to reward you with something to show favor to the families of those deceased censors?"

Cen Mingche also hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Go ahead and do it."

These censors are nothing more than chickens that kill the chickens to scare the monkeys. If they are allowed to leave in despair, it will be difficult for the remaining family members to hold their heads high and live a good life.

Rather than giving something as a reward from the harem, the main purpose is to show kindness, and it also means that the debt will be cancelled, and the emperor will no longer bear any grudge against them.

Tightening and loosening like this, giving the ministers a slap and a sweet date, this is the way to govern.

But Cen Mingche couldn't do this behavior of eating and vomiting himself, and the queen had to step in to deal with the aftermath.

It can be said that it is a serious mom-and-pop shop style.

Everything in the previous dynasty has been settled, and now it’s time to send out troops.

If troops were to be mobilized against Annan, they would naturally have to be dispatched from the local area.

After all, the climate in Guangdong, Guangxi and southern Fujian is similar to Annan. The soldiers in these places adapt quickly and have relatively strong combat effectiveness.

Otherwise, if the soldiers from the north are dragged over, they will be "acclimatized" and the army will be reduced by half without fighting.

At this time, Liu Bohong's role came into play.

Cen Mingche had previously ordered him to arm bandits with troops and rob the King of Nan'an, which made the King of Nan'an unable to bear it and asked for help from the capital. Then Cen Mingche dismissed him as a "defensive disadvantage".

Send another letter of recruitment, and this army can be used in name only.

So this time in the expedition to Annan, the main force was this naval force that had turned from darkness to light, and other soldiers were dispatched from nearby guards.

This kind of local soldiers are more likely to be weak. After all, raising soldiers costs money and food. There are very few real elite soldiers and they have to be stationed locally.

But Cen Mingche is not afraid. He doesn’t need to be strong, as long as there are people.

What he wants is for these people to be familiar with the local climate, water properties, and various local plants.

Banyan trees grow there, with aerial roots in the sky and on the ground. Even walking on flat ground is no easier than climbing over mountains and ridges.

What's more, there are all kinds of poisonous insects and miasma, and there are only a few people who are relatively familiar with the environment. How can it be done?

Thanks to the cement road and the invention of the wheelbarrow, which was still in the local area, the army was dispatched very quickly, and the food and grass quickly followed.

When King Annan saw Liu Bohong, it was no exaggeration to say that he shed tears.

"General! General! Xiao Wang has finally waited for this day!"

"The general of the Celestial Dynasty is here!"

...Can you not be excited?They are almost forced to cross the river on the border between the two countries. If they take a step back, they will have no choice but to throw themselves into the river.

Now that the savior is here, King Annan almost wants to kowtow to him on the spot, regardless of whether he is moved or not.

Heavenly Soldier!

Annan is finally saved!

...But he obviously didn't expect that Daqian also wanted to completely annex Annan.

This time, he can be said to have driven the tiger to devour the wolf. No matter who dies first, the tiger or the wolf, he himself is definitely doomed.

But now there is still a place where he can be used, so Liu Bohong must be polite to him.

"Thank you for your hard work, King Annan. Who are the people who are invading your country?"

Prince Annan burst into tears.

"I don't know. All of those people have pale skin, hooked noses, deep eye sockets, tall bodies, and fur all over their bodies. They have red eyebrows and green eyes. They look like orangutans that have become sperm!"

"The words they speak are also gibberish, just like the language of birds, we can't understand them at all!"

"Yes, yes, they also have those long pipes that make loud noises and shoot out flames! This is how our elephant soldiers were defeated by them!"

When Liu Bohong heard it, he knew it was a musket.

So do these Westerners also have muskets?

It turns out that His Majesty has been insisting on the research and development of muskets. There are ministers in the DPRK and China who are opposed to it. They feel that the current muskets are enough to deal with the nomads.

But because all the money for the research and development of muskets came from the emperor's treasurer, those ministers only thought that this was one of the emperor's entertainments, and they only advised the emperor not to lose his mind by playing with things.

Who would have thought that now Westerners also have muskets!

I don’t know how it compares to what they do!

Liu Bohong didn't feel surprised, but felt awe-inspiring to fight!

"Bring the map! Let's plan how to start now!"

This time Cen Mingche sent someone to supervise the army, but it was not the internal supervisor he had always used before, but someone Liu Bohong had never heard of, named Zong Xu.

Although I have never heard of him, he must be a confidant of the emperor to be sent here.

Originally, Liu Bohong was worried that Zong Xu would cause chaos in the army by gesticulating, but during this period of observation, he found that Zong Xu had a bold personality and was happy to do things, unlike a scheming person.

Moreover, although he listened, he never expressed his opinions without permission. It can be said that he was quite "quiet".

With such a warlord, Liu Bohong felt much more at ease.

But almost no one knows that this Zong Xu is Cen Mingche's eyes in the army.

Literally a pair of eyes.

He is a retainer, which means that Cen Mingche can retrieve everything he sees and knows from the system.

When necessary, you can also use the game home function to directly convey orders to him.

In this way, Annan's battle situation is essentially still in Cen Mingche's hands.

"When our army arrives, those foreign devils must have noticed it. Why don't we take the initiative and test it out."

Liu Bohong discussed with the deputy commander-in-chief, staff general and others in the tent.

"There is no need to make too much noise. The purpose is not to kill people, but to capture a few prisoners and at least find out who they are."

"It doesn't look like pirates attacking a city like this."

One of the generals was a native of Guangdong and Guangxi. He spoke in half-baked Mandarin and nodded:

"Yes, I used to be stationed in Guangzhou. The pirates who came and went, except for those Japanese people who shaved their heads in weird ways, were these foreign devils with red and yellow hair. Basically they only robbed and ran away."

"How can it be that you want to conquer a whole country?"

Liu Bohong nodded and said solemnly: "Exactly. It doesn't look like banditry, but like the strength of the country."

"Let's catch a few tongues today!"
