85 The silver of the white flower
This winter, the snow was very heavy, the Qianyi and the Xiongnu did not take advantage of the Dayu border, and froze to death and starved to death many people and animals, the days were very difficult, and every time they organized a raid of men and horses, they were red-eyed. This also led to more frequent fighting on both fronts during the month and a half of the Chinese New Year than in the period after the autumn harvest.
On the first day of the New Year's court meeting, the emperor opened Gu Yao and Gu Chong's recital, his face was not very good-looking, but when he saw the final casualty statistics, he was unexpectedly a little moved - it has been almost half a year, the number of deaths has never been higher, most of the injured are lightly injured, and the seriously injured are almost transferred to logistics and inspection personnel on the spot.
This means that the effective combat number of Dayu has not been drastically reduced, as long as it is steady and steady, a big victory is just around the corner!
He immediately summoned Chi Rui, the secretary of the military department, and after asking a few words, he invited Xiao Lu to sit down and let the envoy of the Tai Hospital observe. According to the prince's plan, since the war, Jiukangtang has selected a group of trainees who have achieved good results and volunteered to go to the battlefield in Hongdu to take them to the front line, and also recruited local non-combatants and some wounded who have lost their combat strength to join, and now it can basically achieve the ratio of one hundred soldiers, one doctor, one doctor, one nurse, and one apprentice. Almost every soldier has a first-aid kit and a first-aid manual, and many wounds can be treated in a timely manner. Immediately after leaving the battlefield, someone first started first aid, and then according to the severity of their injuries and the severity of their injuries, they were divided into different clinics and operating rooms for treatment, and more serious surgeries will be carried by horse-drawn carts to the Jiukangtang branch in the city for major surgery. As for the application of clean maggots and mold, blood transfusion and blood matching, and the use of serum, the hospital envoy was stunned and completely unclear.
Xiao Lu stood up to the amazed gaze of the emperor and Chi Rui, bathed in the naked admiration of the envoy, and talked proudly with a proud face. This is all the credit of the baby granddaughter!
"Can the treatment technique mentioned by Taifu be promoted in Tai Hospital?"
"Huh. These new methods of Jiukangtang, like planting cowpox, were made into pamphlets, and let Danqing Pavilion print them and sell them cheaply. However, the carving insect skill is not worth mentioning. ”
The emperor also 'hehe', and kicked the entire Tai Hospital under the age of fifty to the front line, and entered the Jiukang Hall to be dispatched. As for those over fifty years old, the emperor glanced at the trembling envoy, and also went to Tiemei Temple for further study, if he couldn't get the medical certificate of Jiukangtang, he didn't need to go back to the hospital.
Xiao Lu was very dissatisfied, "Your Majesty, you kicked out all the imperial doctors, who will come to see the doctor?" "Do you expect Lao Tzu?
Contemporary celebrity Xiao Shenxian said, I don't care to touch the emperor's dragon vein!
"Well, then the envoy will arrange to go in batches for a month, and if you can't learn, you can go to the front line by yourself."
The emperor's tone was very depressed, and the frightened and bitter court envoys ran to the Tai Hospital after leaving the Jinluan Palace, and Chi Rui saw the opportunity to invite Xiao Lu to Chongwen Hall to drink tea, leaving the emperor alone in a daze.
It seems that there was also a little girl back then, holding her big belly, holding his hand and coquettishly saying, "These imperial doctors don't see as many patients in a year as Yeye in a month, what kind of disease can they cure!" You might as well send them to Tiemei Temple to learn art, don't let them bother me! ”
His son seems to be luckier than him.
***********************
Right now, this lucky son has just gotten off the battlefield and is drinking with his third uncle.
"You've been staring at Shunbao for so long, when are you going to do it?"
"Don't worry, isn't the attitude of the Kalang Department very positive, when they have itchy hands and go to Shunbao, we can take action."
"You really need to take so many people there?"
Yuan Yi borrowed 5,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry from Gu Chong, including five hundred best-equipped crossbow archers.
"To be honest, it's not necessarily ......"
If it weren't for the fact that his daughter-in-law couldn't take the water transportation after thousands of explanations, he wouldn't need so many people to protect the silver along the way.
"A small dock fort of less than a thousand people?!" Gu Chong took a sip of wine.
"It's not a problem to fight, so many people are needed in the future."
"Can the emperor let you into the city?"
The crown prince went to the border and brought back more than twice the troops, which emperor could be indifferent?
"When I take it, I guess you will understand, and you will go on how to get on the fold then, and as for the matter of the capital, I will solve it."
“…… I'll let the Breaker accompany you. ”
Gu Chong has seven small servants around him, which is the most numerous and the most elite among the more than a dozen Langjun in the Protector's Mansion.
"He can't do it, there is already a person from the Cui family there, it's best to have someone from the Zhong, Rong, and Zhai families, and the kid from the single family below you also give it to me." The Zhong family is the Marquis of Wenli, the Rong family is the Marquis of Pingzhi, and the Zhai family is the Marquis of Jiji.
"Why don't you take them all! Anyway there are no or no of them, all the same. ”
"I'm also going to bring a kid from the Xi family, and one from the Marquis's family is enough."
"You think this is a flower picker?! People come to earn credit, what's the point of going back to Beijing with you? ”
"This is the end of the matter, and you will fight for ten years!"
"! There are only a thousand people, and it's good to get a little head from the seventh grade! ”
"Ah Luan has calculated for me, which is enough for you to fight in Beiguan for fifteen years."
Now Gu Chong is a little convinced, my sister has no other skills, and she definitely throws off the most clever old seven dozens of streets.
"Cheng, I'll say, don't you end up with nothing."
"Let them volunteer, and those who don't come when the time comes, just don't blush."
“…… The broken captives and the broken armies are given to you. Seeing that he wanted to refuse, Gu Chong said decisively, "Otherwise, Ah Luan will not be at ease." ”
Yuan Yi suddenly softened and nodded.
***********************
In March, the good news of Beiguan was frequently spread, and the difference from the past was that the good news was not a word that was instigated by 'war', 'resistance', 'levy', 'begging', 'felling', etc., and directly used the words "Ping" the five coalition forces, "annihilating" the three, and "receiving" the southeastern region of the Mobei grassland, all of which were operations aimed at annihilating the main force of the Kanyi army, and were not at all like the previous defeat, expulsion, which was the real victory.
The improved lighter, sharper, and more durable Mo knife, the long-arm bow with a very long range, the dense and powerful chain crossbow, and the crushing of the cavalry by incendiary bombs with greater explosive power and lethality ensured that the Zhenbei Army almost achieved an overwhelming advantage in the duel between the two armies.
Of the eight divisions of the Qianyi, the five coalition armies bordering the Dayu Dynasty have been defeated, three of which have been defeated, and the other two are one east and one west. The Tumib tribe in the west shared a large meadow with the Kalang tribe, and was persuaded by the Kalang tribe to cease fighting and recuperate. In the east, Huleqiang gathered the remnants of the army, ran to occupy the territory of the Oroqen Wen Department, which had not participated in the battle, prepared to annex them, replenish food, grass and troops, and continue to guerrilla the defense line between Zhenbeicheng and Beiguan.
Gu Chong ignored the clamor of the capital and the army to 'pursue the poor and rush back to Yinshan', and sent scouts to find out the landforms and roads on the grassland where the snow melted and the ice melted, and on the other hand, he contacted the Oroqen and Wen tribes to test their reactions, and more importantly, waited for the movements of the Kalang tribes.
On April 5, the Jiukangtang of Fushun received the news of the Kalang Department from Shunbao, and judged that they and the Tumibei Department had joined forces to come here, Gu Chong immediately divided half of the troops, relied on binoculars and a compass, bypassed a sea in the vast grassland, circled their lair, and then went to Fushun to encircle Yuan Yi, preparing to attack from both sides.
At this time, Yuan Yi, while missing his daughter-in-law's longevity, asked his subordinates 6,000 Zhenbei Army and 3,000 Protectors to surround Shunbao, as for the 3,000 heavy soldiers who had little combat power, some of them were lost in the military fort to defend the city, and some of them guarded the road from Shunbao to the military fort, good luck.
In addition to Mingjin, Po Lu and Po Jun, there were three more heroic young men around him, with different expressions on their faces.
The low-key one is Xi Jiaqilang Xi Pingzhi, as a minister who brought bad Gaozong, he can only go to the battlefield to transfer to the military to have any hope of reviving the family business, but he himself has no talent in this area, and he is only a small head from the seventh rank after a few years. I thought that after the war, how could I get a sixth-rank army commander or be lucky enough to be a fifth-grade military Cao, but I didn't expect to be kicked to be the prince's protector. However, his mentality has been polished extremely well, and the close ministers of the East Palace are not a bad thing, so he is the most calm.
The one with a blue nose and swollen face is Rong Lin, the youngest of the Rong family, and he and Zhai Jun, Zhai Xiaoer, Zhong Nai, and Zhong 13 rely on martial arts competitions to decide who will 'send' the prince back to Beijing. The result was obvious, the two did not release the water, and he was very hurt and resigned to follow the prince before and after the saddle.
The most depressed is Shan Gui, he is Shan Bin's nephew, the Shan family is always said to be the queen mother's nepotism, he has been working hard to prove himself, he has been a military commander from scratch, but he didn't expect to be favored by the prince, and returned to the liberation overnight, squatting in Fushun in a daze and couldn't participate in the war, and he grew a mushroom for almost a month. Now there is finally action, not to fight the Karma, but to surround a small dock fort......
Yuan Yicai didn't care about the OS of these people, the old god surrounded Shunbao on the ground, and the rebellious courtyard was cut down directly, and the rest hesitated to abandon the weapon, sealed the houses of the six Shun merchants, and tied people together according to the family.
The old man of the Jiang family, who was in the lead, was very indignant, they had already discussed that each family would give 100,000 taels of silver, and he would give an additional 300,000 taels, a total of 800,000 silver.
"The grass people don't know what the crime is, but the working adults are making a big move!"
Mingjin made a cameo appearance as an evil servant, "As a citizen of Dayu, you actually colluded with the people of Dayu to surrender to the enemy and betray the country, and you dare to argue that you are not guilty!" Come on, cut it! ”
"General, please keep people under the sword!"
It was Xi Qi who sang with a white face, Yuan Yi looked at him appreciatively, Steward Xiao temporarily trained Xi Qi yesterday, and it seems that the effect is good.
Old Man Jiang was just angry for a while, who knew that this unreasonable adult would cut it when he came up, and he was much more sober when he landed, and he didn't dare to stimulate them anymore. He glanced at Xi Qi gratefully, and said to Mingjin in a soothing tone, "General, if you say that the grass people are guilty, it should also be decided by the law department. Isn't it a violation of the laws of the country to kill good people without permission? ”
Mingjin spat at him, "You also know the law?" Why didn't you know when you sold military intelligence to Kanyi? Why didn't you know when you sold the stolen goods for Kayi? ”
"Even if I die, there is a way to get your heads to the ground!"
"Cut his son." Yuan Yi finally spoke, and his cold voice did not fluctuate at all.
"Stop, stop!! I listen to everything......"
Before the words fell, the soldiers in steel armor dragged out a few people from behind Old Man Jiang, their hands raised and fell, their heads rolled to the ground, and suddenly their blood soared, and their bodies that had not yet fallen convulsed for a while and then did not move. Old Man Jiang couldn't breathe, his blood seemed to be blocked in his chest, and his eyes rolled and he fainted. The scene was silent, the people who were tied up did not dare to make a sound, and the group of guards around the prince were expressionless and did not move. Xi Qi, Shan Gui and Rong Ba swallowed their saliva, what kind of concentration is this!
Mingjin poured a bucket of water on Old Man Jiang's head, and was provoked like this, he sucked in his breath and vomited a mouthful of blood in his heart, woke up and cried loudly, "Thief ......" Mingjin interrupted his words with his backhand, and also knocked out several teeth.
"Chop his grandson." Yuan Yi continued to speak softly.
It was still the same soldiers who pulled out seven or eight young men or teenagers who were crying and begging for mercy, and raised their knives to cut them.
"General! Please spare my son! I am willing to give the treasure of the Jiang family to the general! A woman desperately protected her son, the youngest child, and cried loudly: "I am the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, I will give all the keys to the house!" General, please spare my son! ”
Yuan Yi nodded elegantly. The soldiers raised their knives and fell, except for this child, the rest of them immediately fell to the ground, and the mother and son, who were immortal, cried profusely.
Mingjin angrily reprimanded, "You still have a chance to beg for mercy, and the compatriots who were betrayed by you and died at the hands of Kayi will never have a chance to see you pay for your life at this moment!" There are many more people who are not buried in death, who cannot return to their hometowns, and who are still enslaved by savages in the bitter cold land of Yin Mountain, do you know their misery! You are innocent of death! ”
The captives bowed their heads in guilt, and the sergeants were filled with indignation, looking at these people as if they were dead.
Yuan Yi stroked her cuffs, "Take her to find the silver cellar, but if she can't find it, she will be killed together." ”
Old Man Jiang looked at his cold eyes, knowing that he could not escape this catastrophe, he couldn't care about the pain of losing his son and said to Yuan Yi eagerly, "Since the general is seeking money, why don't you have something to discuss!" The old man is a little popular in the palace, and please let my family and others go, the old man is willing to give all his family wealth. ”
In the palace? Isn't it Jiang Zhaoyi?
"It's late." Seeing the Jiang family's face disgraced, Yuan Yi smiled evilly, "However, if someone voluntarily reports the Jiang family's hidden property, the crime can be reduced by one degree." Then he added, "Ten places, and the rest will be cut immediately." ”
There was a sudden movement in the Jiang family, and an old man who looked like a housekeeper crawled out on his knees with a little boy in his arms, "I am the one who serves in the accounting room, I know, I know everything, and I beg the general to spare my grandson." ”
A woman behind the old man wanted to come out with him, but was immediately kicked back by a middle-aged man, "General, I am the steward who transports silver to the silver cellar, I can take you in." Please bypass my daughter. He tied a little girl behind his back and pulled a little girl in his hand, and the two knelt down and kowtowed together.
The woman cried out bitterly, "Wrongdoer! You don't even want a son! ”
The middle-aged man glared at her viciously, "You are looking for the father of this wild seed to save her!" ”
The woman was stunned, and turned to the old man and cried, "Cousin...... Just save Riel! The boy next to her, who was only three years old, was tied to her and cried hoarsely.
Yuan Yi waved his hand impatiently, Mingjin stunned the woman, and shouted, "There are already four people, and there are only six places left." ”
The panicked Jiang family suddenly became in a commotion, scrambling to climb out, and among the other stunned crowds, there was a beautiful young woman who was also earning outside, "General, I have been with the Jiang family for many years, and all the silver he secretly embezzled is hidden in me, I will hand it over, please let me and my child go!" ”
A man next to the young woman slammed his head into her forehead with a blushing face, "You shameless slut!" ”
Yuan Yi frowned, and Mingjin stepped forward to knock the man unconscious and dragged the woman to get the silver.
Soon the ten places were filled.
A series of documents and evidence, such as silver cellars, cash, unsold goods, account books, and secret letters, were all searched, and Mingjin handed them to several guards to calculate with each other, and they were generally worthy of the accounts, so they sealed the box and stored the evidence.
With a wave of Yuan Yi's hand, the Jiang family, except for the ten people and children under the age of ten, all men and women fell to the ground. With the example of a corpse, the others all know what to do.
"I am willing to donate all my family wealth of ten million taels of silver to serve the country and atone for the sins of the clan!" The second largest Shun Shang, who had a relationship with Yuan Yi, immediately broke his wrist and cut his flesh.
"Please ask Master Sun to write down the paperwork and not hide it. When the property is settled, you can leave. Yuan Yi said.
Behind him was the Locke family, seeing that he was so easy to talk to, he thought that the money of the Jiang and Sun families would satisfy him, so he deliberately concealed and underreported something.
Yuan Yi didn't mind, touched his chin and sighed, "Chop his son." There are only eight places for the Locke family. ”
There was another burst of blood, and now everyone knew that this general was not just asking for money. In order to survive, the descendants of the Locke family and their relatives rushed to expose the details of the Locke family, and the latter families were in a hurry to follow suit, and the amount of silver increased dramatically for a while. Several other companies no longer dared to sneak and cheat, honestly reported the number, and took the initiative to provide all kinds of corroboration. Yuan Yi bolted the rest of the people to the dock dock one after another, and the people and children who had the courage to expose them were gathered in the military prison, and then they generously loosened the ties to the account office, and all of them were pulled to settle the accounts, and they were to settle the accounts of other people's families.
In this way, it is obvious whether there is any concealment or concealment of silver.
Yuan Yi watched happily and helplessly as the boxes of silver were transported to the military fort, his little girl was really prescient. The other Xi Qi, Rong Ba and Shan Gui, who were ordered to lead troops to protect the silver, were almost about to collapse. Although they are also the descendants of Zhong Mingding's food family, they saw so many snowflakes and silver in front of them in the blink of an eye, and the load on their little hearts was also very heavy!
Fushun City was busy in this situation for half a month, Yuan Yi followed Taizong's example, erected a monument at Fushun Wharf, and wrote that the six Shun merchants 'defected to the enemy and treason, conspired in advance, sold stolen goods afterwards, lied about family assets, deceived the court, and the crime was unforgivable. Yiqi clan, full of their family assets, for future generations of businessmen ring! ’
The rest of the small retail investors who rely on Shun businessmen to do business here basically have passed the audit with their financial reports, and they have to leave on the ship, and the young adults of the five families have undoubtedly been cut off for various reasons. The Xiaoshun merchants saw the murderous scene that lasted for a whole day, and watched the five families being escorted by the dock, cutting off several heads for each boat they went, obviously to implement the phrase 'precepts for future generations of businessmen'.
Blood flowed from the wharf, staining the water of the river red.
