At this time, the Finance Department of Hangzhou Prefecture, if it weren't for Mo Obsession with Jiangnan businessmen, especially Zhejiang businessmen, to form a money village and Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce to support him, Wu Zheng may not be so easy to be a shopkeeper.

Officials' salaries and welfare, soldiers' salaries and pensions, military workshops, ports, shipyards, and two major academies, etc., are all money-burning machines.

Before this battle, Mo Yiqing told Wu Zheng about the emptiness of the financial secretary, and Wu Zheng patted his head and came up with a strategy to build a new city to stimulate the economy, but he knew that this approach was very dangerous, and it was completely based on continuous victories to support the belief of investors.

That is to say, as long as a defeat is fought, it will make the merchants everywhere lose confidence in the Wu Zheng force and turn to wait and see, no one is stupid enough to invest in a force without military victory, once the businessmen turn to wait and see, the general's finances will be in a desperate situation.

Wu Zheng also gradually realized this, and had the intention of armistice to consolidate the power under his jurisdiction.

Therefore, Jiang Quanyi's report, for Wu Zheng, is a send-off in the snow.

Wu Zheng asked excitedly, "How many?" ”

Jiang Quanyi shook his head and said: "I didn't interfere in this matter, it was all done by Wang Yilin and the water master...... However, when he was buried at that time, he roughly saw the amount of this gold and silver property, and estimated that it must have been two or three million taels. ”

Wu Zheng is overjoyed, with this windfall, then it will not be a problem to prepare for the construction of Jingjiangwei.

After pacing back and forth a few steps, he said: "I must not be able to go in person, Dolgon is still in Xinghua in the north, and once I go east, Dolgon will be aware of it." So I will send to Dolgon early to-morrow morning, and you will take a thousand men and dig up this gold and silver in the name of collecting the remains of the soldiers who were separated from the battle and the fallen sailors who were transferred in before. After succeeding, turn southwest and rendezvous with me in Taixing. ”

Jiang Quanyi responded: "Obey orders." ”

Wu Zheng advised: "Be careful, you would rather be buried there than be found by the Tartars and smell the smell." ”

"Yes."

Wu Zheng sighed, and then said to Jiang Quanyi: "The biggest gain in this battle is to get Jingjiang, and the Qing court has recognized our army's occupation of Jingjiang. Therefore, I plan to set up and deploy a guard in Jingjiang. Originally, it was planned to transfer some of the recruits who were being trained, but judging from the number of people in Taizhou sending their children to join the army today, as long as it takes two days, it should be able to reach more than 5,000 people. I am ready to use more than 2,000 veterans of your department as the backbone to supplement these new recruits and form Jingjiangwei, with you as the commander of Jingjiangwei. What do you think? ”

Jiang Quanyi was overjoyed, he was indeed hesitating about the way out for himself and his subordinates in the past two days.

Although it has been included in the Northern Expeditionary Army, Wu Zheng's original words are temporarily subordinate to Hangzhou Wei.

Hangzhou Wei is only an establishment of 10,000 people, that is to say, Jiang Quanyi's department is at most a battalion under the jurisdiction of Hangzhou Wei, and Jiang Quanyi's official position will not be able to be pacified or a garrison.

It's not that Jiang Quanyi is addicted to officials, but that there are only more than 2,000 people left in the 10,000-strong army today, and Jiang Quanyi has to think about his subordinates.

It is naturally the best not to be subservient to others, which is one of the reasons why Jiang Quanyi rushed to report this matter to Wu Zheng.

But at this time, Wu Zheng actually wanted to form Jingjiangwei with more than 2,000 people under his command, which means that he will officially become the chief officer of the sixth guard under the general's mansion, how can this not make Jiang Quanyi happy?

This is equivalent to officially entering the core layer of Wu Zheng's forces and having a considerable right to speak.

Jiang Huiyi immediately knelt down on one knee and arched his hand: "General Xie is promoted, and his humble position will never live up to the general's expectations!" ”

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "See you Taixing." ”

"Yes."

……。

This night, Xinghua City is not peaceful.

In the yamen, Dolgon's face was gloomy and dripping.

In front of him, sat Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng.

It's not that these two have become Dolgon's henchmen, but at this time, Dolgon needs to unify his voice, and after returning to the dynasty, the battle will be spread out and reported in front of the empress dowager, the emperor and the Manchu courtiers.

"What do you think of today's showdown, two scholars?" Dorgon asked in a deep voice.

Fan Wencheng pondered and replied: "If there is no drill in front of the Taihe Palace, Fan Mou probably really thinks that the musketeers are just like this, in Fan's opinion, the thirty musketeers under Wu Zheng's command today are clumsy, I am afraid that Wu Zheng did it on purpose, only disturbing our vision." ”

Dolgon squinted at Fan Wencheng, "What does Scholar Fan mean that Wu Zheng is showing weakness to the enemy?" ”

"It's possible!"

"Ridiculous. At the moment of life and death, you can still hide your clumsiness, and you really regard this Nanban boy as omnipotent, right? Dolgon sneered, "I'm afraid that Scholar Fan cares too much about the emperor's intention to form a new army, right?" ”

Fan Wencheng's old face turned red for no reason, Dolgon's eyes were poisonous, and his heart eyes were even more exquisite, and he could see through Fan Wencheng's true meaning at a glance.

Fan Wencheng was shocked by the will to fight of the thirty musketeers, but he was more concerned about the fact that the musketeers were completely annihilated by the iron cavalry, which would make the Manchu military ministers led by Dolgon feel that the musketeers were nothing more than that, so Emperor Fulin's willingness to form a musketeer army would be strongly hindered by these people, so he had the words of "planting" Wu Zhengzang, and he didn't want to be politely exposed by Dolgon.

Although Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng also had a dispute in the court, in the face of Dolgon, Hong Chengchou still stood with Fan Wencheng.

However, Hong Chengchou did not directly relieve Fan Wencheng, but said leisurely: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves...... The afterlife is terrifying! ”

Dolgon's eyes froze, "Why, Scholar Hong also thinks that Wu Zheng is hiding clumsy?" ”

Hong Chengchou said: "Hiding or not hiding is clumsy, only Wu Zheng knows in his heart, Hong is right, in today's battle, the momentum of the Ming army is completely different, can't the prince feel it?" ”

Dolgon's face changed, and he said impatiently, "What exactly do you want to say?" ”

Hong Chengchou was not moved by Dolgon's expression, and he said slowly: "In Hong's opinion, the danger of today's battle on the high platform is far greater than any battle with the Yixing Dynasty. ”

Dolgon frowned and said, "Isn't this king's iron cavalry already completely annihilated the musketeers of the Ming army?" ”

Hong Chengchou said in a deep voice: "Doesn't the prince still understand the impact of this battle on the people of Jiangbei?" ”

Dolgon said angrily: "How can this king not understand, this king understood it at that time, and then he moved to kill...... But didn't Scholar Hong also want to stop this king from doing it at that time? ”

Hong Chengchou sighed: "Not to mention whether the prince can kill Wu Zheng in the end, even if the prince really gets his wish, will the impact of this battle disappear?" If Wu Zheng was murdered by the prince during the negotiation, then the influence of this battle will be greater, and Wu Zheng's four guards and Jiangnan Ming people will unite because of Wu Zheng's death, and they will unite to hate the enemy, Wang Ye, this is the reason for Hong's obstruction. ”
