XXVII. Asking for help
"Buy artillery?"
It turned out to be the idea.
Slightly stunned, and thinking about it, it's normal.
A dozen and a large area, attacking the city's artillery, who doesn't like it?
Zhu Wu pretended to groan, "What to buy?" ”
"Gold? Silver? Coins? Mr. Guan said, "As long as you speak, I will go back." ”
This is not the impression of Mr. Guan, who talks and laughs.
The words are impatient, extremely solemn.
"Actually, the role of artillery is not so great!" Zhu Wu said slowly, "I know that life is not easy on your side, but if you want to rely solely on artillery to reverse the situation, you may not be able to do it!" ”
"But it's useful!" Mr. Guan said word by word, "With this thing, defending the city will get twice the result with half the effort, and the field battle can also compete with the Yuan court army." Saying that, Mr. Guan sighed, "With him, we can have fewer deaths over there, keep a useful body, and wait for the Yuan Court to stop fighting, and kill the past!" ”
"If you buy it, if you buy less, a few artillery pieces are actually useless!" Zhu Wu said with a smile.
"Then I'll buy more, as long as you are sure to sell, the more the better!" When Mr. Guan heard this, he hurriedly said, "I can't hide it, I watched the military parade of King Han in Chengtou that day." I was stunned by the momentum of hundreds of artillery pieces pulled out together, especially those artillery pulled by carriages. ”
As he spoke, Mr. Guan's eyes flashed with a different look, "I thought at that time, if it was the day of the Northern Expedition in the future." I organized a cavalry army, half of which were light armored cavalry, and half of which were horse-drawn artillery, who could stop me in guerrilla field battles with the Yuan army? If we can tear a hole in the Yuan army besieging us, make a detour and plug it, and burn the Shangdu of Emperor Mengyuan, or go to Shandong and go directly to Shangdu, it is not impossible! ”
Zhu Wu listened attentively, Mr. Guan was a staunch idealist and a staunch warrior.
If it were someone else, the top priority now was to resist the counterattack of the Yuan army and keep the chassis and soldiers and horses that had been defeated. But what he thought was always the same, that is, the Northern Expedition. And I also firmly believe that there will definitely be a day when the Northern Expedition will come.
"Medium!" Zhu Wu patted the table, "Sell!" Not only is it sold to you, but I am also responsible for teaching cannons! ”
"I knew you would say yes!" Mr. Guan stood up, bowed down and said with a smile, "King Han, you are not a short-sighted person, how can you not know the world, and the anti-Yuan is important?" ”
Zhu Wu smiled and said, "But in this matter, I am only responsible for nodding, and there are two more people for you to find!" ”
"Who?"
"Li Shanchang, Xi Yingzhen." Zhu Wu said with a smile, "The two of them have a household department and a labor department, and they can't get around." These two are still dead, and I can't even speak. So, I'll say yes here, but specifically, you talk to them! ”
Those two?
Mr. Guan's face, which was still smiling just now, immediately tensed.
He had met, known, and dealt with those two men.
A scholar who doesn't smile, an old man with a fake smile on his face. These two people, one is more difficult to deal with.
"Prepare for a massive hemorrhage!"
Zhu Wu was laughing in his heart.
These days, the artisan workshop has been constantly building artillery.
After this battle, the artillery of the Dingyuan army suffered a lot of losses. The war in Zhejiang needs it, and the Jiangxi side, which will start immediately, will definitely need it. It's better to take your money and fill your own holes.
Those artillery pieces that were about to be eliminated by the Dingyuan Army were also sold to him in pieces, and it was troublesome to return to the furnace.
Not only sell, but also teach, teach and pack. But if the people over there come to Nanjing, Zhu Wu's people won't go over, what if the meat buns beat the dogs?
Thinking of this, Zhu Wu almost laughed.
"The good people do it themselves, and the bad people do it for others. Li Shanchang can only enter but not enter, and Xi Ying really can't go out. You send it to the door and wait for them to trap you! ”
~~~
The flowers bloom at two ends, one on each branch.
Let's say that Zhu Wu is thinking about how to trick people.
Zhu Chongba's side is thinking about how to beat people.
After seeing Zhu Wu's reward for the ministers, the boss felt uncomfortable. On the way back to his residence, there seemed to be a small tail behind him. Needless to say, Zhu Wu's people.
Stalking, human nature. If Zhu Wu doesn't send it, his people will also send it.
Even if it's your own guest.
Understandable.
But when I returned to my residence, I found that there was no one, Xu Da, Zhou Dexing and those personal soldiers under him were gone?
I have people with me, let alone them?
Nanjing is so prosperous that you can see the blind eyeballs, and your brothers are all rough people from Huaixi. If something happens, how embarrassing it is?
Therefore, when these people came back shaking their heads and shouting, they found that Zhu Chongba was standing in the courtyard, staring at them with horizontal eyebrows.
"What are you doing? Didn't we tell you, don't run around if it's okay? Forget it if you go out, this one person will not stay, if we want to use people, where can we find them? ”
There is a kind of fear that it is engraved in the bones, and Zhu Chongba has been the child king of his hometown since he was a child.
Zhou Dexing, Xu Da, even if they had a relationship with his bare ass, they didn't dare to look directly at Zhu Chongba's gaze at this time.
"It's time to the docks!" Zhou Dexing said with a smile.
"What are you doing there?" Zhu Chongba asked coldly,
Zhou Dexing looked at Xu Da, and the latter said, "Brother Chong, let's watch the boat at the dock!" ”
So what the fuck is there to look at?
Zhu Chongba was just about to get angry, but he heard Xu Da continue.
"On the canal, there are boats for Xiao Wu and gifts. The water is so crowded that you can't see the end in sight. ”
"So many? Who? Zhu Chongba was puzzled, the world's famous thieves are all waiting for Zhu Wu to get married in Nanjing City, who else is coming?
"They're all rich people!" Zhou Dexing opened his mouth and said what he saw and heard, "They are all rich people in Jiangnan, Yangzhou, Hangzhou, Suzhou, and Changshu." They were all merchant ships, and they were loaded with things. ”
Zhou Dexing swallowed his spit, and then said, "Just the rich man surnamed Shen in Hangzhou brought gifts for three ships. I spent money on the wharf and inquired with the workers, and they said that there was a shipload full of silver ingots. What a fucking rich! ”
The rich man in Jiangnan, Zhu Chongba is no stranger. Jiangnan businessmen are rich and well-known all over the world.
These merchants, who have been merchants for generations, monopolize Jiangnan tea, raw silk, cloth, medicinal herbs and so on.
It is rumored that even the emperor is not as rich as them.
"Go on!" Zhu Chongba became interested.
Zhou Dexing said with a smile, "I have inquired, it is said that this time Zhu Wu got married, and the rich people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang came." There are rumors that Zhu Wu wants to get some commercial law, collect taxes, and what kind of warehouses he wants to go to sea! ”
The little five ghosts have a lot of ideas! Zhu Chongba nodded, maybe it was a new way to hold money.
"I also heard that the people of Suzhou alone gave Zhu Wu the amount of labor army silver!" Zhou Dexing stretched out two fingers, his thumb and index finger.
"Eight hundred thousand?" Zhu Chongba gasped.
Zhou Dexing shook his head, "Hundred! ”
"Huh?" Zhu Chongba was taken aback, he was originally a calm person and rarely lost his temper, but he couldn't hold it anymore at the moment. Eight million, how much grain can be bought? How many weapons can you fight? All over the world, who has seen and heard of so much money?
"What nonsense?"
"It's true!" Zhou Dexing continued, "Zhu Wu didn't want to hide this matter from people at all, everyone in the fleet from Jiangnan knew it!" As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Chongba, I didn't believe it at first, but I heard a lot of people." Moreover, I also heard that the merchants who came from Hangzhou this time also came with silver, and they also had to offer military supplies. ”
Then, he sneered, "I don't understand, those businessmen are so afraid of Zhu Wu?" ”
"The handle of the knife is in his hand, who is not afraid?" Zhu Chongba sneered, "Don't pay? Waiting to be robbed and killed? These businessmen, sticking to the hair, are monkeys, spending money to buy their lives to protect their family business, they can get out! As long as Xiao Wu keeps them, keeps their business routes, and keeps their shops, no matter how much he gives today, he will be able to earn it back sooner or later. ”
"Isn't that nothing?" Zhou Dexing said again, "I heard that there is still a fleet coming from the sea, from Fujian?" ”
"Fang Guozhen?" Zhu Chongba asked.
Fang Guozhen is a famous pirate in Fujian, and his envoy is also in Nanjing City at the moment.
"No, it's Zhu Wu's uncle's house who hasn't been through the door!" Zhou Dexing said, "It is said that all the ships that came were seagoing ships, more than a dozen. Just the craftsmen who gave it to Zhu Wu brought a thousand people, not counting anything else! ”
"What's your last name?" Zhu Chongba's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled.
"Pu! This surname is rare! ”
"Why did Xiao Wu marry his family?" Zhu Chongba said angrily, "Dog day! ”
"What's wrong with his house?"
Zhu Chongba glanced at Zhou Dexing, "Let you read more!" What the fuck are you doing? The Pu family is a big traitor, in order to please the new master of Meng Yuan, he killed thousands of people from the Song royal family, and he also arrested the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and offered it! No one in the world does not hate, no one does not scold! Rats crossing the street, everyone shouts to kill! ”
How many years of old yellow calendar!
Zhou Dexing didn't take it to heart at all, but approached Zhu Chongba and whispered, "Chongba, I have a sentence, I don't know if to say it or not?" ”
"Why don't you talk to us?"
"Look!" Zhou Dexing came closer, "Over there, we can't eat the poor." Zhu Wu's side, Jinshan Yinhai. Tokhoff beat him, we died so many brothers to help him, he gave us a Huai'an, and the fucking people were all hungry. ”
"What do you mean, just say it!" Zhu Chongba was impatient.
"Let's talk to this side, won't life be easier?" Zhou Dexing gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't brothers eat one meal a day, so hungry that their eyes glow green!" ”
"Get out!" Zhu Chongba suppressed his anger and said coldly, "Can you fucking have ambition?" When did we ask someone? Starvation is a small matter, but the face is big. Xiao Wu wants to give it early, let's want it now, can we still raise our heads in front of him in the future? ”
"That's it, let's talk about our soldiers, eat his food, who knows if anyone will have any thoughts?" Xu Da spoke on the side.
Zhou Dexing smiled wryly.
