Chapter 93 Zu Dashou’s plan

"Yes, Sister Su has already told me her main tasks, so when I develop department personnel, most of them are Internet marketers or people who have business records with major Internet companies."

Pang Chenrui, the manager of the public relations department, is a middle-aged woman in her thirties, wearing black-rimmed glasses and a black suit, exuding a sense of competence.

"I am a person who likes antiques, and now I want to create some hot topics in the domestic and foreign antique circles. I need you to provide some solutions in this regard."

"Boss, if you are trying to build momentum by yourself, the best way is to tie up a rich background, such as distant relatives.

Because nowadays China has stricter inspections on its own people, and the antique industry is such a big circle, if you want to be a circle, you have to have some topics to talk about.

Do you think we should make it up in this regard, or should you provide us with actual information that can be put on the surface and let us mix in half-truths and half-falsities to speculate?"

Chen Ye understood Pang Chenrui's idea. It was a very simple truth. If a person who loves antiques does not have a good family background, it is best to have a foreign force to help him. He can be a spokesperson on the surface.

In this way, all aspects are easy to explain. Others will not investigate Chen Ye just because they cannot find out his family history. In other words, people with that ability will not investigate a foreign white glove who just has a reputation.

As for the current editor, does Chen Ye need it? His experience is so fake at first glance that it seems a little too real.

"Well, based on my background, I met a historical screenwriter in Singapore before. Because I helped him a small favor, he gave me some imitation gold ingots when he came to China. You can make up the specific details of the favor yourself, and it must be reasonable.

Because I had been in contact with him for a long time and gained relevant knowledge, I was very interested in the world from the 13th to 17th centuries, that is, the medieval world, so I opened a film company.

Well, that’s it, use these as gimmicks for publicity.”

"I understand, it's easier to handle."

Pang Chenrui nodded. What Chen Ye said was in line with the company's operations and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

Of course there is nothing wrong with it. Except for the fictional Singaporean, Chen Ye copied his own family history almost intact, and then started to discuss his layout.

Chen Ye was discussing with Pang Chenrui here how to make it legitimate for him to discover the Yongle Grand Ceremony and various cultural relics in the future. Over there in the Ming Dynasty, the wheels continued to deviate from the original trajectory.

In Jinzhou, Zu Dashou thought about inspecting the granary in the morning, and became worried for a while. He couldn't help but look at Wang Hu, who was calmly drinking tea.

"Wang Baihu, why haven't the grain shipments and those flying things your Majesty mentioned have been delivered yet? Jiannu has already evacuated most of them by this time.

If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to transport food and wait for the Jiannu to capture Songshan and Xingshan, we will be completely isolated and helpless and will starve to death."

"Commander, don't worry, I have observed that the food in Jinzhou can still be used for more than half a month. The time your Majesty promised before is April 1st.

Actually, there was no need to be so panicked, but I didn’t expect Jiannu to attack the outer city in advance, huh.”

When Zu Dashou heard Wang Hu's words, he smiled unnaturally. Why did this accident happen? It was not because of his operational error.

If it weren't for the fact that he sent someone to take action and leaked the news, Wu Basi and the others would not have had the chance to open the door for Qing. If the outer city of Jinzhou was not lost, the situation would not be as passive as it is now, because there are several granaries, and he is in the outer city!

"But we can't contact the capital, and we don't know what's going on in the capital. You also know what the ministers in the court are like. I'm afraid you'll be lucky if even 10% of your majesty's food reaches Jinzhou."

"This... Anyway, Commander-in-Chief, don't worry. I have been ordered to come here, and I have handed over my life here. If Your Majesty does not have enough food and grass, I will coexist with Jinzhou."

Wang Hu also hesitated when he heard Zu Dashou's words. It was obvious that everyone was full of distrust of the ministers in the court.

However, he thought of the settling-in allowance Chongzhen had given him when he arranged for him to come here, and the hundred taels of silver he had asked him to leave at home. Even if he died, he would have to complete his mission in Jinzhou well.

"Okay, Wang Baihu, you continue to keep the army rations, this is the most important thing."

"Commander, shouldn't we be asked to coordinate the sergeants and let everyone prepare for war? It's overkill to let the brothers guard the army rations during this period. We Jin Yiwei are going into battle to kill the enemy."

"Military food is the most important thing. Wang Baihu must not put the cart before the horse."

Zu Dashou waved his hand and did not let Wang Hu continue. How could he let Chongzhen's people intervene in the army?

During this period of time, he had asked Wang Hu to guard the granaries that had bottomed out, just to prevent anyone from spreading bad news and to unite those who had a blood feud against Jiannu.

After Wang Hu left angrily, Zu Dashou pinched his brows and felt his head was a little swollen. He pressed the button and clapped his hands, and the soldiers came over.

"Handsome."

"Help me call Hal Baihu to come over."

When the summoned Baihu came over, Zu Dashou looked at him and said nothing for a long time.

"Are you spreading rumors everywhere these days? Do you really think I don't dare to do something to you?"

"Commander, Zhu Youjian valued civil servants over military officers and eunuchs. He killed Governor Yuan whenever he asked. For such a capricious emperor, why not rebel against him and follow the Qing Dynasty? Don't forget your promise to the emperor."

Seeing Haer Baihu talking unscrupulously, Zu Dashou became even more troubled. Who is Haar? He is Huang Taiji's younger brother.

At first, Huang Taiji divided a group of people and went to Jinzhou with him pretending to be the Ming army and preparing to fraudulently open Jinzhou. Originally, Hal was trying to help Zu Dashou control Jinzhou, but unexpectedly Zu Dashou turned around and rebelled.

Zu Dashou didn't know why, but he didn't kill Hal or expose him, but gave him great freedom.

So Hal traveled back and forth between Jiannu and Jinzhou, and Huang Taiji and Zu Dashou got in touch again.

"The power of the Ming Dynasty has not been exhausted, the time has not come, and Your Majesty has never forgiven me. When I returned to Jinzhou, he promoted me.

Liao's wages have been rising in recent years. If I give up Jinzhou and surrender, I will be stabbed in the back by the whole world."

"Commander, do you really think Zhu Youjian is sincere? He is just trying to stabilize you.

Only the Emperor, the Emperor sincerely cares for you. The Qing Dynasty is thirsty for talents, the Qing Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses, and the Qing Dynasty officials are honest. Only in the Qing Dynasty can we achieve anything!"

Zu Dashou stood up and walked impatiently.

"I know, of course I know, I said it.

The time has not come, the time has not come!

I have now asked the Jinyi Guards to guard the granary, and they will soon spread the news of the lack of food here to Songshan and Xingshan through various methods. Please tell people outside the city not to stop it."

"Commander, what's the point of doing this?"

"Only by letting the other side know that we are short of food and grass, will they try their best to rescue us. Only in this way can the last bit of Ming's wealth be exhausted.

When the time comes, Jinzhou will be unable to support itself, will be isolated and helpless, and will exchange its sons for food. For the sake of the people and soldiers in the city, I have no choice but to accept the help of the Qing Dynasty."

Zu Dashou slowly revealed his plan, making Hal, who had been encouraging Zu Dashou to surrender immediately, fully understand.

This game is really big.

"I said, what the city needs right now is a spirit of perseverance that forces the capital to come to the rescue. If you continue to spread remarks that shake the morale of the army, I will have your head on the ground."

"Don't worry, Commander. When I go out today, I will be the most loyal general of the Ming Dynasty, and I will fight to the death with the Emperor!

But Commander, if the Ming army cannot retreat, what will happen if the food in the city is cut off in a month? At that time, you will have no choice but to surrender, and the Ming army will not come."

"Who said I only have one month's worth of food? The emperor sent troops to surround Jinzhou and built a granary in the outer city. Isn't it normal for me to capture it?

Can't the army and horses in this city eat it? It won't be a problem to persist for a few months."

Hal looked at Zu Dashou and understood.

"Those who are loyal to the Ming Dynasty and those whose hearts are devoted to the Ming Dynasty will shed the last drop of blood for the Ming Dynasty. Only in this way will my surrender be justified.

Moreover, with the continuous disasters in the past two years, there must be a shortage of food in the pass. I predict that the pass will definitely urge Hong Chengchou to fight as soon as possible.

The city must also be starved before they can accept the reality."

Zu Dashou looked at Hal, thinking about Jin Yiwei's missing food and grass, and gradually strengthened his mentality.

Why did Jinzhou say a year ago that it had two years of food, but now it only has one month? Why does Jinzhou only have one month of food and wages, but it can last for a year?

Was his ancestor's longevity helped by God?

Hal left happily. In his opinion, he was ready to blatantly become a bannerman again, as long as he got through this period of time.

Thousands of miles away from Jinzhou, the new army camp in the capital is welcoming the sixth and final batch of 3,000 people to enter the camp.

The last to enter the camp were the three thousand sergeants from Shenshu Camp in Beijing.

Huang Degong led the cavalry of the Shenshu Camp from the guard post around the outer city until they were still two miles away from the camp. They saw a fence of steel pipes and steel wires that stretched for more than ten miles.

Groups of uniformed guards patrolled the fenced area on horseback.

Huang Degong and his party set up the order flag in advance. The patrolling Jin Yiwei did not stop them, but Xiao Qi, the leader, and Huang Degong got the signal right.

"Boss, when did there be such a big iron fence outside Andingmen?"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, when I passed by this area last month, it was still a wasteland."

"Just be honest and obedient."

Huang Degong led the people, and was greeted by the Jin Yiwei who led the way, to the gate of the camp. A group of people were waiting at the door to open the door, and at the same time they looked curiously at a large black square that was higher than the fence.

"What is that thing? Why do you put a big black mirror so high? Is there glass in the middle?"

"Oh! It's lit up, it's lit up, eh, why can it move, and there are also words. Why are these crooked words with missing arms and legs so awkward?"

"Why are the people in that big box moving? Those people's eyes... are so cold."

"Commander, I believe it. From now on, I believe what you said. This new army is really shocking! It has such magic."

"It's so scary. Isn't there someone locked in there? There are so many people, this is evil magic!"

"These people are definitely undead! Their eyes are so scary."

Inside the gate of the camp, the screen noticed by the sergeants was clicked on, and videos of military parades from the years before the founding of the People's Republic of China were being played on it.
