forty-eight
In March, everything in the south of the Yangtze River woke up and spring blossomed.
But in Zhu Wu's camp, there was an aura of slaughter.
His camp is located in the gatehouse on the Gaoyou city wall, which is the base camp of the entire Dingyuan army.
There were many pro-soldiers and civil servants in the camp, not only Zhu Wu, but almost all of the core figures of the Dingyuan Army lived here.
At this moment, Zhu Wu sat on the main seat with a straight face, taking the military report from the peripheral horses.
In front of him, the military generals of the Dingyuan Army were sitting in danger, and everyone did not squint.
The atmosphere was a little solemn.
Even outside, the voices of the clerks who were settling accounts seemed to be much softer.
The military newspaper was extremely detailed and densely written on paper.
"The 600,000-strong army has marched along the canal and waterway to Shandong.
There are more than 600,000 officers and soldiers, all of whom dare to fight elite soldiers, many of whom are Hu soldiers from the Western Regions of Tibet, and there are also blond-haired and blue-eyed soldiers.
The battle flag is thousands of miles, the golden drum shakes the field, and the ancient soldiers are not so prosperous.
The commander-in-chief of Tokhoff led the whole army, and his subordinate senator Gong Bopu, the privy judge of the Han army, Dong Tuanxiao, and the Han army, Shi Pu.
Mongol General, Ikochar, Shusu, Haratai ~~~"
Zhu Wu first read it once, and then read it aloud in front of everyone.
After reading it, there was silence in the camp, and everyone had different expressions.
"It's finally here!"
After all, there are 600,000 people on the other side, and behind Zhu Wu, there are still the elites of the Jiangnan official army to defend themselves.
Although the Dingyuan army is strong, no one is arrogant, thinking that with these 100,000 or so soldiers and horses, they can win a big victory.
Why should this battle be fought!
Because, this is a protracted war!
Zhu Wu played the drums again at the beginning of his heart, but when it came to the end, he was a little relaxed.
smiled, "It's finally here, it's not in vain that we have waited for a month, and if he doesn't come again, we should farm the fields!" ”
Inside, everyone chuckled.
"600,000 troops, tsk, the Tartar Emperor really made a bloody investment!"
Zhu Wu continued to laugh and said, "But these 600,000 people, people eat horses and chew, and the grain and grass they consume every day are astronomical, how long can they fight?" ”
As he spoke, he asked Li Shanchang, the head of Wenchen, "Lao Li, how much military rations do we have!" ”
"Back to the lord, only Gaoyou has one city to store grain, which can be enough for an army of 100,000 for a year."
After Zhu Wu crossed the river, except for the grain from Taizhou that was left untouched and left to Guo Xiaosi, all the grain from Yangzhou was transported to Gaoyou.
Coupled with the filial piety of the local wealthy, there is also the extorted grain in the surrounding counties, such as Liuhe, Yancheng, Xinghua and other places.
Why not pile up?
There is food in the war, and there is no panic, and everyone's smiles are a little bigger.
Zhu Wu asked Xi Yingzhen again, "Ordnance?" ”
Xi Laodao smiled, "It's open, and the supply can't cut off Lao Dao's head!" ”
"Soldiers?" Zhu Wu asked Feng Guoyong again.
"Jinling has been left behind in the Second Tiger Command Office, and 30,000 recruits have been trained for a month, ready to fight at any time. After the governor crossed the river, a total of 8,000 strong men from all over Huaidong came to vote, and General Guo Si recruited 10,000 salt dings, as well as auxiliary soldiers and engineers of the Dingyuan army.
Let's say it's 100,000 people, but as long as the governor gives an order, the 200,000 army can be done in an instant! ”
"Good!"
Zhu Wu clapped his hands and laughed, "Brothers, when we first met Tofu outside Hezhou City, how many people were there?" Isn't it the same killing? How many of us are there now? If you can't take it off, let him not die and peel off the skin! ”
"The manager is right, I'm afraid that he is a bird, the soldiers will block him, and the gods will block and kill the Buddha!" Chang Yuchun said with a smile.
"Yes, we have food and soldiers, and the consumption will kill his dog's life!" The Liao brothers also shouted.
The Heart of the Army is available!
At this time, Zhu Yu came in lightly, holding a list.
"Dad, this is the Jinling Xie family's labor army gift list!"
The Xie family?
What kind of gift does his family give?
Zhu Wuhu took it suspiciously.
"The Xie family is 1.5 million taels of silver, 7,000 quintals of grain and grass, and is in charge of the army."
"Shhh
Zhu Wu gasped, this stroke is really not small.
But as the old saying goes, there is nothing to be courteous, either borrowing money or making an appointment ~ cannon!
The relationship between himself and the Xie family is not so good!
But now is not the time to ponder this.
Zhu Wu smiled and shook off the list in his hand, "Did you see it?" It's hard for us to win, the wealthy businessmen and nobles in Jiangnan have begun to send us labor army silver, one and a half million~~"
"Ahh
Everyone exclaimed in unison, and Li Shanchang was overjoyed. Recently, I have been spending money like water, and I finally have some income.
However, Zhu Wu's next words made him feel a pain in his flesh.
"Passing on the commander's order, this more than one million silver, Lao Tzu doesn't take a penny, all of it is used to reward meritorious soldiers!"
More than 1 million, want to give it all out?
The ministers have various bitter gourd faces.
The generals were smiling.
Zhu Wu saw that the fire was almost over, and continued, "Okay, let's go and straighten out the soldiers and horses!" ”
When the words fell, there was a neat salute in the room, and the people walked cleanly.
However, Zhu Yu was still standing beside Zhu Wu.
"What are you doing here?"
"Daddy!" Zhu Yu snorted, "The envoy of the Xie family is outside, and he wants to see you!" ”
"Come in!"
Take other people's hands short, see you when you see it, just ask what the Xie family has in mind.
However, as soon as the people from the Xie family came in, Zhu Wu was stunned.
How is she?
Woman dressed as a man, fat girl!
"How are you?" Zhu Wu smiled, "You Xie family has no man?" Clean up these women dressing up as men! ”
The fat girl's face turned red and pouted, "Because in addition to the eldest lady of the Xie family, only the slave and maid recognize the chief manager!" ”
"I heard that your master is not a generous person, so much money and food, what do you mean?"
The fat girl's eyes rolled, "Does the manager want to hear the truth or lie?" ”
"Don't fight the shell! Truth! Zhu Wu leaned back in his chair and asked while drinking hot tea.
"The truth is!"
The fat girl cleared her throat, "Our master said, the Xie family is generously presented, I hope the manager will raise his noble hand and stop staring at my young lady~~"
"Poof!"
Zhu Wu squirted out a mouthful of hot tea.
"Of course, that's not what my lord said, but that's probably what it means~~~"
"Don't you know how to write dead words?"
Smack, Zhu Wu smashed the tea bowl to pieces.
Sharpen your knives and prepare for war?
What kind of mess is the Xie family running around?
Are their families not in good shapes?
Or are they too polite to their family, and they think they have a bad brain?
Outside the house, the sound of the tea bowl shattering was heard, and the two pro-soldiers were about to rush inside.
"Don't move, it's okay!"
Xi Yingzhen grabbed them, and Li Shanchang pricked up their ears and stood up with a white gossip on their faces.
Zhu Wu said coaxingly, "If you weren't a girl, Lao Tzu would cut you now!"
When did Lao Tzu stare at your young lady? Yes?
Lao Tzu, this is a military camp, not a playhouse, I don't have the time to talk nonsense with you! ”
Zhu Wu is so angry in his heart!
What kind of bullshit is this, Miss Xie is stupid, and the head of the family is also a fool?
If this is seen by those very handsome and handsome readers, they will not complain endlessly.
You are fighting for hegemony, not a romance of wisdom!
Zhu Wu hated it so much that the roots of his teeth itched.
Xie Guangkun's meaning couldn't be clearer, give you money, don't stare at my daughter, our well water doesn't interfere with river water.
Don't say that Lao Tzu is not staring, Lao Tzu is staring, what can you do?
This is obviously looking down on Lao Tzu, and making it clear that you are a thief, and our Xie family doesn't want to have anything to do with you anymore!
"Old dog, I won't kill you when I turn around! Makes you crazy! ”
Zhu Wu gritted his teeth and scolded.
In front of him, the fat girl suddenly shouted.
"Why didn't you keep an eye on Miss? Did I see it all? ”
"What do you see?"
"You're pulling Miss's hand!" The fat girl said in a good way, "I pulled it in front of my eyes, and I said to the young lady with red eyes, as long as you wake up, I, Zhu Wu, will never let you be wronged again!" Is there such a thing! ”
"I~~~~!"
The fat girl crossed her waist and looked open, "Do you dare to admit it?" ”
"I'll pull it!" Zhu Wu was furious.
"Phew, did you stab my young lady in the chest?"
"I~~~~?" Zhu Wu was messy and shouted, "Lao Tzu didn't have it? ”
"Sunflower Point Caveman!" The fat girl-for-tat, "You dare to say no!" ”
"I just don't!"
Zhu Wuyi's head was black, "Fat girl, don't be with Lao Tzu, don't think I dare not kill you, hurry up!" ”
"Let's go?"
The fat girl sneered, and suddenly sat on the ground, "My young lady still asked me to beg you to do something, but you turned your face and didn't recognize anyone." ”
said, howling and crying, "Zhu Wu, you don't count when you speak, what kind of hero are you, what kind of hero are you bullying women?" ”
Sprinkle yes!
Zhu Wuyi gritted his teeth, there was really no way to do it.
You can't really kill it!!
"Stop!"
Zhu Wuyi covered the fat girl's flesh and pouted with a big mouth, "What are you asking Miss to beg me for?" ”
"Hmm!"
The fat girl broke free of Zhu Wu's hand, and her mouth was full of cannons, "My lord has set up a marriage for Miss again, Miss said not to marry, and the master said no."
Miss said death, the master said that you have to marry even if you die, Miss asked me to find a way! ”
What can Lao Tzu do?
Zhu Wu was stunned, he would rather go out and pick up a knife and cut a few people than listen to these things.
"Manager Zhu!"
The fat girl suddenly looked at Zhu Wu and said softly, "Otherwise, you can marry Miss!" ”
What?
"Miss has you in her heart! On the day you set out, the young lady leaned against the window and looked out for a long time! ”
What?
Zhu Wu was covered in a cold sweat.
Although Xie Lian'er is a little stupid, she doesn't hate it.
I have always been so tolerant of her, but she looks like a girl in later generations.
This thing is really different from the cold, except that killing is killing, Xie Lian'er brought herself a really different feeling.
But, marry her?
What the hell is this?
"Mr. Zhu, you married Miss! Isn't the Xie family's wealth all yours? The Xie family has money, and some are connections! ”
The fat girl brushed her hair, "You married a young lady, and the slave maid is your roommate~~"
"Stop! A girl in the room? You? ”
Zhu Wu was frightened and looked at the fat girl.
"Why do you have two hundred pounds?"
"Mr. Zhu~~~"
"Come on, drag it away!"
Zhu Wu shouted outside the door, "It's all dead, deaf!" ”
"You have to help Miss~~~~"
The fat girl shouted unrelentingly, and the two pro-soldiers outside who were holding back their faces were red, and they walked out with the fat girl on their feet.
"Zhu Wu, you don't talk too much~~~"
I'm dripping God!
Zhu Wuyi sat down, afraid.
~~~~
"Girl, stop screaming!"
Outside the house, Xi Yingzhen asked the pro-soldier to put down the fat girl, and said with a smile.
"You have a way to do this!"
"You?"
"Don't believe me? The old man counts Zhu as half a master! ”
Xi Yingzhen patted his chest.
Li Shanchang seemed to know what he was going to do, so he hurriedly stopped, "Xi Laodao, don't be confused!" ”
"When a man gets married, how can he be confused?"
"Merchant's Daughter~~~"
"Phew!" Xi Yingzhen interrupted Li Shanchang, "He turned out to be a begging for food?" ”
"Two different things, not the same!"
Li Shanchang shook his head, "The lord is in the abyss, the future master mother~~"
"This is the daughter of the Xie family!"
Xi Yingzhen interrupted Li Shanchang again, "The Xie family in Jinling, Jiangnan has been rich for generations!" Do you know what that means? ”
Without waiting for Li Shanchang to speak, Xi Yingzhen continued, "Chaebol! Zaibatsu! Do you know? Do you know how capable the chaebols in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are? Read, read silly, you! ”
"You~~~~"
Xi Yingzhen ignored him, and pulled the fat girl with kind eyebrows.
"Girl, let's go, let's discuss it!"
~~~
The state is not good, I ate the roast goose at noon, and I pulled it again, and I prolapsed the anus.
Oops! Excuse me
