Chapter 240 Chapter 245-246: Money is the Mingjun(1/3)
Chapter 240 Chapter 245-246: If you have money, you are a wise man. If you don’t have money, who are you?
When he walked up to Wang Pu, Chongzhen looked at this fat man who was about the same height as himself and had a big belly, and felt a little emotional.
It's just such a thing, he can't fight, he's the first to run away, he lives in Datong near Zhangjiakou, colludes with slaves, and does all kinds of immoral things.
In history, this stupid first escape caused a mutiny, and even Chongzhen didn't believe it if he said it was not intentional.
Thinking of this, sparks gradually flashed in Chongzhen's eyes, and Wang Pu's heartbeat gradually accelerated.
Does your Majesty have a crush on him?
"Wang Pu, right?
Datong General Soldier, right?
Is it very comfortable over there?
How does it feel to come to Jinzhou?"
Punch after punch hit Wang Pu's body. Wang Pu felt a surge of blood and blood, and his throat was surging.
"Back to Your Majesty, I feel that Jinzhou is really hard."
"It's very hard, isn't it? It's not as comfortable as being a local emperor in Datong, right?
Is all the money Jiannu gave you still at home? The information you sent to Jiannu caused Ye Bushou's brother to be ambushed several times.
You have been cowardly in command many times, and the Datong Army suffered more casualties than other guards. How can you explain to them? How can you be worthy of their dead parents??"
Chongzhen's sudden shout, and the sudden appearance of the imperial guards behind him to hold Wang Pu back, made Wang Pu's face turn as white as a candle.
He knew that he had been exposed, and what he was most worried about happened, and the slaves surrendered and sold him.
"Your Majesty! I am wronged! Your Majesty, I have been fighting with all my heart and risked my life, Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, there will inevitably be casualties in battle, and your sins will not lead to death, Your Majesty!!!"
Chongzhen turned his head and looked at Hong Chengchou and others.
"What do you think we should do?"
"Your Majesty, I think he should be beheaded!"
"Your Majesty! I second the proposal."
No one tried to dissuade them, but it was still necessary to kill one person at this time to warn the victorious army. Only by clearly distinguishing rewards and punishments could military discipline be strictly controlled. If Wang Pu was not killed, he would have to kill others accordingly.
"Okay, then lock him up with Jilhalang. Don't let them die on their own. The entire Datong Army will be investigated.
Zu Dashou, go and bring the Datong soldiers to me. If trouble occurs, I will settle the old and new accounts with you."
"I obey the decree!"
Zu Dashou immediately clasped his fists to accept the order, and at the same time he felt even more grateful.
Fortunately, there was a fool who rebelled in advance. Fortunately, he never gave a clear answer to the Qing Dynasty, but was just vague. Otherwise, he would have died at this time.
"Wang Banban, please inform me on my behalf that at the celebration ceremony tomorrow morning, I will personally award military medals, distribute silver rewards, confer titles, and explain future arrangements to the disabled brothers!
The whole army will celebrate tomorrow night, and the cooking team will come over for a meeting to ensure that the personnel on combat readiness duty have the best first batch of meals at noon tomorrow.
In the evening, except for the combat readiness personnel, all the sergeants have enough to eat and drink! The plowing will not stop!"
After Chongzhen finished speaking, he followed Zu Dashou and his party into Jinzhou City. Several generals and regimental commanders went down to deliver orders. Then cheers came from various military camps, which made Chongzhen smile.
After the celebration, he distributed the money and hundreds of thousands of people in Jinzhou became his hardcore army.
When the treatment of the Royal Army comes out, the Guan Ning Army and the Zu Family Army will eventually become the Zhu Family Army.
While Chongzhen was making arrangements here, at the Royal Merchant House in the capital, three women were performing a play, showing the love between sisters.
Jutian Hezi was holding the ice cream, feeding Caiwei in a flattering manner, and begging Caiwei to help with things.
"Sister Caiwei, just tell me where the shop owner is, this is really important.
My uncle went back with the purchased goods, but he didn't know that Jiannu had been defeated.
If we can get through the shop owner, let us take His Majesty's documents and go back by sea to inform us that we will bring the Emperor's congratulatory letter with us next time, so as not to lose etiquette."
"Sister Hezi, it's not that I won't help you, but that your husband is really busy and only Your Majesty can contact him.
But now that His Majesty has gone to Jinzhou, no one can inform him, and we have no right to go to the Grand Master directly."
"That's right, sister Hezi, don't worry so much. Then the emperor's congratulatory letter, will it be the same next year?
It's only a few months late. As long as the Japanese country is obedient, Your Majesty will not attack the Japanese country."
Listening to Cai Die's sudden attack, Kikuta Hezi felt his heart skip a beat.
Yes, the Ming Kingdom would not take the initiative to attack the Japanese Kingdom, but this time, the Japanese Kingdom was about to commit suicide and took the initiative to attack the Ming Kingdom.
"Two sisters, the relationship between the two countries is very complicated. Just like this kind of great victory, if it cannot be brought in time, next time what my uncle brings will be all gold, wouldn't it mean that he can't buy it and can only donate it?
Please help me. What's wrong with the store owner? There should be a way for you to contact him urgently, right?
If he can contact the shop owner, Hezi is willing to buy women's products worth ten thousand taels of gold."
Listening to Jutian Hezi's words, Cai Wei and Cai Die started to believe it, and had some doubts in their hearts. Is it really what she said?
After looking at each other, the two women instantly reached an agreement.
"Sister Hezi, we are willing to help you, but your Majesty is the only one who knows your husband's whereabouts. If you want to ask for an interview, you have to wait for His Majesty to come back.
Don't worry, Mr. Ichiro will come next year, not less than half a year, and my husband said last time that he will be back in about fifteen days, and we will definitely tell him about it then."
"Then thank you sister Caiwei. Come on, sister, take a bite."
After hearing the news, Kikuta Hezi breathed a sigh of relief. Half a month was not bad, there was still time, even a month was enough, as long as they could stop the Japanese army on the sea road, they would not be at gunpoint.
I continued to stay at the Royal Merchant Store for another afternoon, purchased some daily snacks from the shelves at discounted prices, and left happily.
Because Kikuta Ichiro ran out of money for the goods, he just bought a small courtyard near the Royal Merchant House, and Kikuta Hezi walked back every day.
The maids purchased from the capital were cleaning the house for Kikuta Hezi. Kikuta Hezi took the newspaper and slowly recalled the flow of information they had received in the past half month.
Picking up the newspaper again, Kikuta Hezi sorted out all the timelines.
"The eunuch in the capital suddenly sold something, and then it turned into a royal business. The emperor formed a cabinet committee, the royal army... the mysterious shopkeeper appeared...
How could it be that the Royal Army has been blocking the news? The shopkeeper just told Charlie and others that the situation was tense, and the next day the Ming Emperor used mysterious means to kill Emperor Jiannu? "
Kikuta Hezi was sitting at the table, her lips parted slightly, and her downy face turned white.
She will now think about Chen Ye's attitude and how it feels deliberate.
"But how did they know what we were planning?
Apart from the Europeans in this matter, as far as we know, the only Europeans who are still in the Ming Dynasty are Tang Ruowang, Banduma and Abel.
Is it Tang Ruowang? It must be him. Only he is well-informed in the official circles of the Ming Dynasty. It is impossible for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to hide this from people in the official circles."
Got it, Kikuta Hezi understood it completely, looking at the newspaper on the table with red eyes, feeling guilty.
Tang Ruowang, who was only eight miles away from her, did not know that he had been wrongfully accused and was visiting Fan Fucui at his home.
Fan Fucui sat in front of the Eight Immortals table, drinking tea slowly and carefully trying to figure out what Tang Ruo meant when he looked over.
"Master Fan, we have recently told many of our brothers in Christ that if His Majesty returns victorious, there should be a ceremony in which all nations come to pay homage.
However, your Majesty just imposed a maritime ban some time ago due to the situation in Jinzhou. Now the news of the great victory cannot be spread, and the maritime merchants will come back next year.
If congratulations on this great happy event are delayed, they cannot be treated as congratulations."
"Master Tang, what you said is correct, but His Majesty's arrangement is for us to temporarily control the sea ban, and we are not allowed to enter or leave. There is nothing I can do."
"Are we just waiting like this? All the brothers in the Lord think that the sea ban should be re-opened. After all, it is more convenient to transport the Royal Company's goods here in Tianjin Port.
You know, the King of Zhou in Kaifeng, the King of Datong, Duke Cheng Guo, and Marquis Yang Wu all hope to lift the sea ban.
The princes in the south are also sending urgent messages to Beijing via water transport."
Listening to Tang Ruowang's words, Fan Fucui felt a little nervous. This force was almost half of the Ming Dynasty's existing nobles, and the resources they had behind them were astounding.
As Tang Ruowang handed over two banknotes, Fan Fucui couldn't help but accept them.
"What I will report to His Majesty is only specific matters, which must be arranged by Your Majesty.
After all, there are serious bandits in Huguang, so banning the sea is a last resort."
"Don't worry, Grand Scholar, I will talk to our ministers and ministers."
After Tang Ruowang finished speaking, he took a sip of tea and left. He walked out and looked at Banduma and Abel who were waiting. His expression changed from calm just now to gloomy.
"Master Tang, what do you think? Does Grand Scholar Fan agree?"
"His attitude is very vague and it's hard to tell. He's too old and just wants to sit back and retire. It's not worth fighting for."
Abel glanced at Tang Ruowang, who was still calculating how to struggle, and felt a little excited.
This feeling of being an undercover agent is so cool.
Early the next morning, there were only a few white clouds in the sky in Jinzhou, and the sky was blue.
Outside the east gate of Jinzhou, a military formation several miles long and five miles deep was assembled in a chaotic manner.
