"At that time, the ships we robbed from the nobles of Jingzhong were a total of 48,670,000 taels of silver. Over the past year or so, Brother Zhu and Mr. Fu have spent a total of 34,580,000 taels to support Liaodong, resettle displaced people, reclaim Jiaodong, set up factories, purchase firearms, etc., ......

Su Mingxuan said, spread out the account book in his hand, and continued: "After deducting the 10 million taels taken away by Second Brother Zhu this time, there are still 4.09 million taels left." ”

"Cousin has worked hard for more than a year."

"It's not hard."

Wang Xiao picked up the account book and glanced at it, and said, "Second brother, this loser." ”

Su Mingxuan nodded thoughtfully.

"With such a little money left, it is not enough for a year's salary for 100,000 soldiers and horses, and it will be a difficult year next."

Qin Xuance said: "The Jiangnan clan has silver, whoever asks you not to copy them, turn around and give them silver." ”

"Is it that easy to copy? It is a great luck to be able to hold the offensive of the Jiangnan Army this time. Wang said with a smile: "The Jiangnan clan is intertwined, the Huai'an we captured is not fake, if we really dare to rob the Huai'an clan, then the entire Jiangnan will rise up and attack it." Unless you have the strength to slaughter one city after another, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Jiading, until they are terrified, otherwise once they counterattack, they will be able to swallow our blood and bones. Even people like Tong Yuanwei didn't dare to blatantly raid Huai'an, and they just ate a little bit of filial piety. Doesn't Zheng Yuanhua know that the Jiangnan clan is rich? It's a mess that even he can't solve. ”

Dong Jihe sighed: "What Guogong said is true. In the final analysis, these Jiangnan clans didn't want to fight, and it was Zheng Yuanhua who forced them to contribute money and food to support the four towns in Jiangbei to send troops. If we really want to rob Huai'an, we will force these Jiangnan clans to be anxious, and finally completely stand on Zheng Yuanhua's side. ”

Xia Xiangwei said: "But even if you persuade the Xuzhou gentry, I'm afraid it's still not enough, right?" ”

"This year's share, Xuzhou Haoshen can't eat it." Su Mingxuan said, "Second Brother Zhu has calculated, we have a lot of all kinds of goods, and if they want to do this business, they need more than a dozen big families in Nanzhili to work together to eat." These people are like a common network, and the first few families have negotiated, and they will naturally connect with each other in the next matter. Presumably, within a few days, the entire Jiangbei will have a war report to Jinan, and the four towns will be asked to withdraw their troops. ”

"Are they really going to do this for all this silver?" Qin Xuance was puzzled: "They are already very rich." ”

"This is only the share of the first year. They know how to smell silver better than you do, and they can see the greater good behind it. What's more, they don't need to make any effort, they just need to let the remaining generals in each town send out battle reports. When the soldiers and horses of the four towns are withdrawn, what can Zheng Yuanhua do with them? This is in their interests, otherwise if this battle continues, where will Jiangnan's military pay come from? It's not that they continue to dig into their pockets. ”

"On the other hand, the attack on Huai'an is a kind of deterrent, they don't know our reality and will never dare to risk their own lives. On the one hand, the wife is making money peacefully, and on the other hand, the fish are dead and the net is broken, what do you think they will choose? ”

"Then they do this, the Nanjing court ......"

"They don't care about the life or death of the Nanjing court. Damaging the world and enriching selfishness, this is the temperament. Wang smiled and said: "Zheng Zhaoye thought that he would be able to lead an army of 170,000 to attack, but their roots are rotten, so what is the use of lush branches and leaves?" ”

~~

"170,000 troops attacking the 40,000 defenders of this Jinan urban area? The casualties are less than half of them, and Jinan can be broken today? But you want to go back to the teacher? What bullshit?! Zheng Zhaoye yelled? angrily smashed Yang Jia's order holder to the ground.

Yang Jia sat in the handsome position, watching Zheng Zhaoye step on his case with one foot? There was also a faint smell of horse manure. He couldn't help but be a little stunned, and said, "Ziyi? The problem is that Jinan City may not be broken today. ”

Honestly? Yang Jia didn't believe Zheng Zhaoye anymore.

Zheng Zhaoye said last time that it would be broken in two days? It's clearly a look of conclusiveness. What's more, 'Does Inspector Yang know?' It won't take seven days, and in two days I'll break the city of Jinan', and the result? They blew up the south city gate, and there was a dark deflated here.

Then he said that he would break the city in seven days? It's been ten days since the siege of the city? Jinan City still hasn't been captured.

The fine work in the city is gone, the morale of the soldiers besieging the city is unstable, and the grain and grass are about to run out...... In this case, if you say 'it can be broken today', Yang Jia doesn't believe it anyway.

Zheng Zhaoye was furious when he heard this? Pointing to the general soldiers of the four towns in Jiangbei, he said: "What has happened so far? Are you still unwilling to do your best to attack the city? One by one, they want to preserve their strength, right? I tell you, if you don't capture Jinan, no one will want to go back! ”

Guan Ming's face was not very good, and he still hugged his fists at Zheng Yuanhua's face and said: "Second son, it's not that we want to go back, but the four towns are in a hurry one after another, and we are really worried about Nanjing." ”

"Yes, Jiangbei is the gateway to Nanjing, and now that Jiangbei is lost, Nanjing City is in danger, and we are worried about the safety of His Royal Highness......

"Fuck you!"

There was silence in the big tent, and everyone didn't expect Zheng Zhaoye, a son-in-law, to scold such foul words, and the atmosphere was still stagnant for a while.

"Wang Xiao, how many soldiers and horses others don't know, don't you know? Thousands of people, attacking Nanjing? Thank you for speaking out! If the city wall of my Dachu border pass can be half as thick as your skin, Jiannu will not be repeatedly blocked! ”

Kong Yourong, the eunuch and supervisor of the Nanjing Town Army, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Kong Yourong was looking forward to waiting for the emperor and grandson to succeed to the throne to be able to seal himself a master of ceremonies, he had the heart to make meritorious contributions, so he still supported Zheng Zhaoye to attack Jinan, so he waved the boiling dust on his hand and said sharply: "What are you doing with a straight face, Zheng Gongzi is also joking with you, what a big deal, won't it be over if you capture Jinan and go back?" ”

Yang Jia, the supervisor, was also in a dilemma, neither wanting to offend the four towns of Jiangbei nor Zheng Zhaoye, after thinking about it, he finally stood up to ease the atmosphere, and stroked his beard and persuaded: "What the governor said is not good, this Jinan defense is indeed unsightly. Several generals were willing to attack the city with all their might, and the city of Jinan was captured in three or five days. Of course, it's a good thing to take care of the soldiers. But in this situation, I can't afford to wait, so let's capture Jinan first and then return to the division. Don't fall for Wang Xiaowei's plan to save Zhao......"

"It's not your Wei who is surrounding." Tong Yuanwei muttered.

"Stupid, inadequate and conspiracy." Zheng Zhaoye sneered and sneered: "It's not that you are waiting for the yang to disobey the yin and misunderstand my plan." ”

"Say less, say less." Sun Yourong smiled and came out to play the round again.

finally persuaded the general soldiers of the four towns, and finally Guan Ming said: "It's okay for me to wait for the siege, but this grain and grass are about to die." ”

"Huh." Zheng Zhaoye sneered again, "I have already made a fool's plan and sent troops to take Texas, and when I take Dezhou Caocang, there will naturally be grain and grass ......."
