Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

Gao Jie only brought fifty personal guards with him, as well as two captain officers selected from hundreds of thousands of people in the army.

These two officers, one named Zhang Wei and the other Zhang Yi, are cousins ​​from Kaifeng, Henan. The Zhang family is a very prestigious family in Kaifeng. When Li Zicheng besieged Kaifeng for the second time, the Zhang family was unwilling to donate food or donations. Funded by Yin, he was massacred by Liu Zongmin, the number one general under Li Zicheng.

The two brothers Zhang Wei and Zhang Yi escaped because they were visiting friends abroad. After hearing the bad news, the two brothers joined Gao Jie's Shaanxi Army in hatred, vowing to kill all the rebels and avenge their relatives who died.

In the Battle of Zhuxian Town, the brothers not only showed bravery but also had great discipline. Their team suffered the least casualties and killed the most enemies. They also killed three small leaders of the rebel army and captured one, and were promoted to captains based on their merit.

Eunuch Rong Mo has always kept in mind some of the words of the emperor, one of which is to recruit talents. As long as they are talents, just recruit them with confidence and boldness. Zui also mentioned it to Gao Jie casually. Unexpectedly, Gao Jie actually remembered it in his heart.

The two brothers Zhang Wei and Zhang Yi are not only well-versed in military books and have acquired good martial arts, but they are also very brave and flexible. They have rules and regulations in fighting. They are natural generals who lead troops in war. The key is that they are still very young. Zhang Wei is nineteen years old. Yi is eighteen years old. If he can be cultivated, he will definitely be a future star of the Ming Dynasty.

Another thing is that the brothers had just joined the army not long ago and had not yet contracted some of the bad habits in the army. These conditions fully met the emperor's requirements for selecting talents.

This is also the main reason why Gao Jie selected the two brothers from hundreds of thousands of Shaanxi troops.

Eunuch Rong Mo also wanted to escort a cart of goods to the red lady. Gao Jie followed with brothers Zhang Wei, Zhang Yi and fifty personal guards.

After Eunuch Rong Mo and his entourage arrived at the Red Lady's military camp, the Red Lady hosted a banquet in the army, which flattered Eunuch Rong Mo.

He inquired about whether it was the royal guards or the angels sent by the emperor to escort all kinds of good things to the red lady. Most of them just drank a sip of tea, but there was not a single banquet table.

However, Eunuch Rong Mo also knew in his heart that he was just taking advantage of Gao Jie.

There is no need to talk nonsense about Gao Jie's past. He is one of the people Li Zicheng wants to kill most. Moreover, the contact between Sun Chuanting and the Red Lady is basically through the hands of Gao Jie. Gao Jie often goes in and out of the Red Lady's camp, and all the subordinates of the Red Lady. Very familiar with it.

The red lady didn't treat Gao Jie as an outsider, because she took too many military supplies and other things from Gao Jie's hands, so she was very polite to Gao Jie.

This time, in addition to some exquisite pastries from the palace, the cart of goods that Eunuch Rong Mo escorted also included several boxes of aunt's towels, and then a large box with an ordinary appearance.

Eunuch Rong Mo treated it like a treasure, carefully opened the lid of the wooden box, took out the contents inside with both hands, and presented them to the matchmaker respectfully.

After seeing the appearance of the Red Lady, he understood why the emperor was so deliberately trying to please the Red Lady.

The beauty of the Red Lady is not inferior to that of the most favored Empress Yuan Fei. They are both equally beautiful and charming. The only difference is that the Red Lady has a dashing and heroic spirit, and her phoenix eyes without any impurities carry an admirable appeal.

What is this? The red lady looked at the strange-looking clothes in front of her and asked, but she immediately realized that the soldiers of the Royal First Regiment were also wearing this kind of clothes, which seemed to be called tactical vests.

However, apart from being similar in fabric and style to the tactical vests worn by those big-headed soldiers, the tactical vest in front of me has some differences, that is, it looks a bit bulging, as if something has been added inside?

Replying to the red general, the emperor said that this vest is called a bulletproof vest, which can resist the damage of swords, arrows and bullets. It is made of materials prepared by the emperor himself. It is made of special steel, black gold and other materials. It was smelted for seventy-seven forty-nine days. It was cast, then carefully polished for more than ten days, and then sewn with thick linen cloth on the outside... There is only one like this in the world.

Eunuch Rong Mo carefully explained that the first words were indeed spoken by the emperor, and the following words were made up by him after he heard the emperor say them, in order to highlight the emperor's painstaking efforts and love.

Hey, this dog king...cough, the emperor is interested...

After hearing this, the red lady felt inexplicably benefited. However, she was used to saying the words dog emperor and said it casually. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and realized something was wrong, so she hurriedly changed her words.

They gave her so many good things, and she accepted them all. It seemed that she really shouldn't call them a dog emperor.
