The three great expeditions of Wanli, which are very famous in history, have ended the second one inadvertently.

There is nothing to sing about, nothing earth-shattering, and no heroic stories.

It smells of copper inside and out.

This point even Li Rusong and they all deeply felt, this southwest campaign is really different from other battles, the lack of joy of victory, mainly because of the lack of difficulties, the logistics are too good, I feel that this logistics, just this firearms, the dog can win.

Fortunately, they were focused on testing new weapons from the beginning, even if they killed Yang Yinglong, they didn't celebrate much, and several commanders sat in Yang Yinglong's luxurious palace, summarizing what are the shortcomings of new firearms, with so many firearms, how should we arrange our troops, and the plan to continue to go south in the future.

Having said that, in fact, whether it is Yang Yinglong or Bibai, they do not have the strength to fight against the Ming Dynasty, after all, the Ming Dynasty has just experienced a wave of small Zhongxing, you can also say that they were born at the wrong time, if they can be dragged to the apocalypse and Chongzhen, then it is estimated that there will be a dozen.

The good news has reached Jingshi, but... But it didn't go well.

The only thing everyone is celebrating is that Kou Zhuisa gave birth to another son.

A no-tooth line.

"Congratulations, congratulations, Kou Yuan, congratulations on the addition of a new Ding to your mansion."

In the conference room, Zhou Feng, Qin Zhuang and other major shareholders saw Kou Shouxin enter the room, and immediately got up and congratulated.

"Thank you! Thanks a lot! ”

This congratulatory greetings made Kou Shouxin very happy, although his daughter was a little willful, but her stomach was really very competitive, and she gave birth to a son.

Hey...!

After some congratulations, Kou Shouxin found that the major shareholders had gathered here, this situation had not appeared for a long time, because they were in Weihui Mansion most of the time, but his heart was like a mirror, and he said: "This person is all together!" ”

Zhou Feng smiled awkwardly and said: "Consultant Guo is invincible in the southern and northern wars this year, then Ningxia is already in the bag, and Banzhou over there will definitely not be able to run, which makes it difficult to find our shares." ”

Cao Da immediately said: "Brother Zhou is right, and it is precisely because of this that we feel that the stock price of our tooth bank is too low, and we must be cautious about the increase in shares at the end of this year!" ”

Duan Changcun said: "In the past two years, we didn't pay dividends, so do you have to add some shares to us this year?" ”

"Yes! If you don't pay dividends all the time, you can't say anything! ”

"We know that whether it is Banzhou or Ningxia, we have to spend a lot of money, and we don't want silver taels, we want shares."

......

Everyone is your word, I am the word, but there is only one purpose, which is to ask for a proportional increase in the shares in their hands.

In the past few years, they all hoped to be able to directly distribute dividends, that is, to give them silver, but this time it is different, the reason is that now the outside is even crazier than Kou Shouxin's original son, because the north and south are blooming, and the profits that can be born in this cannot be calculated.

They finally realized that it was okay to lie down and eat with the shares, which was much more fragrant than silver.

Now those who have sold their shares outside are all banging their heads on the door panel, as long as they wait for another month, wait another month, the value of the shares in their hands can be doubled, and now it is equivalent to how much they have sold.

In addition to this, there is another reason.

Some people in the interest group know that they have no way to return to the sky and must bet on both sides, and they are waiting for the tooth bank to increase their shares with a large amount of money, which makes the market difficult to find!

After they finished speaking, Kou Shouxin smiled and said: "Everyone, the previous share increase plan has been abolished, as for how to increase it, we have to wait for Guo Dan to come back." ”

Zhou Feng and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

They were afraid that Kou Liansha would increase her shares according to the original plan, and that would be a big loss.

......

Qianqing Palace.

Wanli closed the good news that had just come from the southwest, his face was expressionless, and he just asked Zhang Cheng: "Is there anyone in the DPRK and China discussing this matter?" ”

Zhang Cheng said truthfully: "Back to Your Majesty, there are some ministers in the court who impeached Ye Mengxiong for personal vendetta and instigated the local Tusi to kill Yang Yinglong's family. ”

"It's all said in this song, it's because Yang Yinglong dug people's ancestral graves first, and he did too much, no wonder those toasts were impulsive, this is understandable!"

Wanli waved his hand lightly, "I won't hold them accountable this time, warn them, don't do it next time." ”

In fact, even if Ye Mengxiong didn't kill him, he would kill him, and it was impossible for him to leave the Yang family, so he was actually very happy in his heart, but it could be regarded as a thorn in the Yang family.

"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that Yang Yinglong deserves it."

Zhang Cheng hurriedly said: "Therefore, many officials in Sichuan, Guizhou, Huguang and other places have played, saying that many local people are grateful to Your Majesty for sending troops this time, and they are all suffering from the Yang family. ”

"Really?"

Wanli just smiled slightly, and only came to stammer, a little late, and said: "This New Year's Festival is coming soon, about next year's New Year's Day court, sacrifice heaven and earth, worship ancestors, and other ceremonies are all exempted." ”

Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, you have made such great achievements this year, you should worship heaven and earth and worship your ancestors." ”

Wanli snorted softly: "If I really do this, they will say that I am very happy, and then it will only make me angry." ”

Zhang Cheng was speechless.

It's really possible.

Wanli said: "Besides, I have never liked these, and when I sacrifice heaven and earth, they blame natural disasters on my loss of morality, and everything can be blamed on me." Worship ancestors, they use the ancestral system to suppress me, it is really unreasonable, and if you don't do this, you can save some money, and you can use it to buy shares at that time. ”

He is more and more disgusted with etiquette, and he likes shares more and more.

Cash it all out!

"Wechen obeys."

Zhang Cheng asked again: "Your Majesty, if the New Year's Day court meeting is canceled, then the ...... about rewarding the minister!" ”

Every year during the Chinese New Year, the emperor has to reward some important ministers, and only under this heavy reward can there be brave men.

But now Wanli felt that there was no need for this at all, and said: "Regarding this gift, I have already prepared, you will frame all the folds that opposed me to send troops in red silk, and then give them on the first day of the new year, so that they can have a good year." ”

Zhang Cheng couldn't help but glance at Wanli, can you still have a good year this year? But he soon understood.

Whether it is the Battle of Ningxia or the Battle of Banzhou, it revolves around the struggle between the emperor and the ministers.

In other words, this battle has not really ended, and Wanli has not yet come out to meet the minister.

Wanli actually wants to use this to tell them, don't think that this is the end of the matter, don't think that I will still be beaten passively like before, I can remember all the twists and turns, but this is about to be the New Year, let you have a stable year first, and then we will settle the score after the New Year.

Although the DPRK and China are silent about the great victory of the north and the south, basically there are no ministers to congratulate the emperor and praise Wanli, of course, they also have a reason, although it is two big wars, but the southwest is nominally to encircle and suppress the bandits, and Ningxia is also contracted Guo Dan, there is no reason to celebrate!

But whether they admit it or not, the fact is that Wanli has won a complete victory, and Wanli has already told them with facts that I don't have to rely on you, and without you, I can also govern martial arts.

That's where it gets interesting.

In the past, Wanli was just a flat boat in the vast sea of officials, and he could only hug the bureaucrats and had nothing else to rely on, but now Guo Dan directly sent him a luxury passenger plane, and he floated into the air.

Wanli suddenly asked again: "When will Guo Dan come back?" ”

Zhang Cheng said: "It is estimated that I will not come back until after the New Year's Festival, because not long ago, there was news that Ningxia will jointly send troops with the Tumut Department to attack the Tuman, Luohuochi and other tribes. ”

"Do you want to celebrate the New Year?" Wanli pondered a little and said, "You send someone to send a message to the past, so that he can come back as soon as possible, and he will not fight, so he will stay there and do nothing." ”

For their imperial and merchant combinations, the real battle was in the court, not in Ningxia, and the fat house didn't want Guo Dan to waste too much time in Ningxia.

"Wechen obeys."

Zhang Cheng bowed.

Now that the capital has been covered with heavy snow, many commercial activities have stopped, and although Ningxia has entered the cold winter early, there is no snow there, this environment has created a very good condition for Ningxia's economic recovery, and a large number of caravans are advancing in the bitter cold wind.

This time is money!

And Ningxia's war against foreign countries is also underway, but...

It's just that it went much smoother than Guo Dan expected, and without two hits, those tribes themselves were divided, because Mongolia is a nomadic people, and there are many merchants in each tribe, in other words, whether it is the barbarian tribe or the Luohuo Red tribe, there are some people in it who are eager to trade with Ningxia.

In particular, these merchants had traded with the Weihui Mansion, and they also had a very good impression of Guo Dan, plus they heard that Guo Dan would put Yinuo Insurance in the Tumut Ministry, so many people chose to take refuge in the Tumut Ministry.

If you lose the strengths of one or the other, you basically don't have to fight.

Those who are not willing to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty are also very simple, and migrate directly to the west, the Mongols want to be open, but there is no saying that the Son of Heaven guards the country, after all, they don't have a door, they don't stay here, they have their own place to stay, and when the master is strong, the master will come back.

"Guo Dan, although this battle is almost over, I won't return this money!"

Taimur laughed happily.

Basically, there were no two battles, and the artillery of the Ming army was not used, so it can be said that it was 200,000 taels for nothing, and I was really happy.

Tatam also quipped: "Guo Dan, this should be the most loss-making deal you have ever made." ”

"I can't say that I am losing, after all, my purpose is to ensure that our trade can go smoothly, and the faster you can complete it, it will naturally be a good thing for me, and I am very happy to spend this money."

Guo Dan smiled slightly, but he was scolding in his heart, MMP, I really fell for the devil, if I knew that it was so simple, I would have taken a hundred thousand taels out, alas... It's really a wise man's thousand thoughts, and there must be a mistake!

However, the cessation of the war also allowed Guo Dan to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

After the construction team of the three hospitals of Weihui Mansion and the staff of Yaxing came to Ningxia, Guo Dan escorted Bibai and his family back to Beijing.
