Chapter 254: Yue Zhongqi's Ambition

"Uh...... Pregnant! ”

Ning Yu thought about it for a while, but he thought of a way that was not a way, and said: "If you borrow money, forget it, my father can be regarded as knocking them out now, if you knock it again, I'm afraid that everyone will run away, so we have to have a win-win situation with them." ”

"Win-win? How to win-win? Li Fu looked suspicious, thinking in his heart that this was a new trick that Ning Yu came up with to scrape the ground, if it was just a change of name, it couldn't hide anything.

When it comes to intrigue and trickery, he Li Fu is confident that he is not inferior to anyone, and when it comes to poetry and books, it is also full of knowledge, but when it comes to this aspect, he doesn't know anything.

Ning Yu picked up the teapot from the table, then filled the teacup in front of Li Fu with water, and said with a smile: "Borrowing money is a business, it all depends on the face of the Fu Han Army and the bayonet in his hand, but it is indispensable, they are afraid of us, but after a long time, no one wants to play with us." ”

"The key is that we have to set some rules for ourselves, so that they dare to operate on our chassis with confidence, so we have to abide by these rules."

Li Fu is a little incomprehensible, he belongs to the kind of character who is more unscrupulous in order to achieve his goal, in his impression, Ning Yu should not belong to the character who pays attention to the so-called rules, just look at the style of the shadow military intelligence department, it is a real ruthless and all-encompassing thing.

Ning Yu looked at Li Fu's demeanor, and immediately knew that the other party had misunderstood him, and said with a wry smile: "Sir, in this world, although it is the winner of strength, but for the moment, no matter what you do, you need a lot of money resources to cross the threshold and win." ”

Li Fu thought for a moment and asked: "With the intention of the Metropolitan Governor, although these merchants and others are not engaged in production, they can exchange goods between the north and the south, and they can also gather silver money for my use?" ”

"Exactly. At present, we can unite businessmen and merchants to help our army conquer Jiangnan. ”

Ning Yu naturally wouldn't tell him about the horror of capital, not because he was afraid that he wouldn't understand, but because he was afraid that the scholars headed by Li Fu would oppose it from the beginning, and if it led to the weakening of capital in advance, it was really unclear whether it would be able to play its original role at that time.

What worries Ning Yu even more is that in fact, this sign has already appeared in the current Fu Han army.

The current Fu Han Army is also a stitching monster, stitching together various interest groups, the fundamental support of which is the landlord gentry in Huguang, that is, the Ning, Cheng, and Zheng families, it can be said that since the beginning of the army, there have been people who have contributed people, have money to contribute, and have made strong contributions, especially since the Ning family took power, the other two families are also quite knowledgeable, and there is no drama of fighting for power and profit, and they have always done their duty.

It is precisely because of this that Ning Zhongyuan also attaches great importance to the Cheng family and the Zheng family, and has surrendered some interests in the Fu Han army and the political hall, which can be said to be sincerely united to resist the Qing Dynasty.

Later, Ning Yu became the governor of the capital, led the army all the way to conquer Huguang, took Jiangxi, and now occupies a small half of Anhui, and the interests have become a little complicated at this stage. In particular, the Jiangxi gentry group represented by Li Fu was quite cooperative with the Fu Han Army, so Li Fu became one of the core members of the Fu Han Army.

The problem is that the Huguang Chamber of Commerce, which was originally within the Fuhan Army, also touched the interests of other bigwigs, especially the Jiangxi gentry represented by Li Fu, the Chamber of Commerce is weak and difficult to compete with the Huguang Chamber of Commerce, which naturally leads to the interests of the entire Jiangxi gentry being invisibly pulled down.

In addition, there is another layer of trouble, that is, the Fu Han Army still uses Confucian students as officials, such as the upcoming Spring Festival Ceremony organized by the Chu Palace, which also selects Confucian students as officials. In this way, those who read the poetry and books of the saints are naturally dissatisfied with the power of the Chamber of Commerce.

The multiple entanglements of interests have made the current Huguang Chamber of Commerce a little difficult to move in the Fuhan Army. Because of this, Ning Yu thought about giving the Chamber of Commerce more benefits on this basis, so as to expand the influence of the other party, and then support himself to take Jiangnan.

"My idea is actually very simple, that is, in the name of the eastward march of the Han army into the Governor's Mansion, and use the land south of the Yangtze River as bait to attract businessmen to participate, so as to support the foundation of our army's eastward advance."

Ning Yu said with a smile, and then further explained, "Although Jiangnan is not in my hands at the moment, I might as well treat the fields in Jiangnan as commodities and sell them to those merchants, of course, not directly selling the land deeds, but selling land vouchers, and giving those fields out in the name of land vouchers." ”

"Then when the war is over, we will redeem the land according to the land vouchers, for example, how much land vouchers can be sold for at that time, we will be able to raise a large amount of money in advance on the basis of this price, plus a 10% reverse redemption."

Li Fu thought about it carefully, but his eyes lit up, and he said with great interest: "The Metropolitan Governor is really a natural genius, but this method can allow the merchants to evaluate by themselves, if you want to lower the price, then it will be nothing more than an extra redemption, the land is still our own, but if the price is too high, then it is nothing more than to sell those fields to them." No matter how you calculate it, we all have to make money and lose money. ”

A hint of pride flashed on Ning Yu's face, he also thought about this method for a long time, and said excitedly: "Not only that, this batch of land is in Jiangnan, so whether they want land or money, then they have to do everything possible to support us to take Jiangnan, otherwise they will lose nothing." ”

"Then if they suspect that we can't take Jiangnan, what will happen then?" Li Fu followed Ning Yu's words and pointed out the last question.

Ning Yu stood up, standing with his hands in his hands, with a chic and broad style, he lit the battlefield in the distance where the smoke of gunpowder had not completely dispersed.

"There, that's the military order we set for them!"

Three days later, Li Fu took a boat along the Yangtze River all the way to the west, straight to Wuchang, this time he was as a representative of Ningyu, to talk to the merchants of the Huguang Chamber of Commerce, in addition, he also as a representative of the Jiangxi Chamber of Commerce, to negotiate with the Huguang businessmen, the purpose is naturally to hope that the Jiangxi Chamber of Commerce and the Huguang Chamber of Commerce can be completely merged together, and become the pillar force of the Fuhan Army to attack Jiangnan in the future.

After Ning Yu sent Li Fu back to Wuchang, he did not choose to continue to stay, but prepared to return to Anqing and completely take Anqing City, which would be the pillar of Anqing in the future and become the logistics center of gravity for attacking Jiangnan.

As for Yue Zhongqi, who was still struggling to support him in Anqing City, Ning Yu didn't take him seriously at all, because no matter how much this person jumped, it was already difficult for him to do anything else.

In his previous life, Ning Yu was still quite familiar with Yue Zhongqi's name, but in this era, he didn't have that sense of attention, maybe this was an era when heroes were completely over, and the development of the technological revolution made all the so-called heroes become desolate bones in the grave.

You must know that there is still a Fu Erdan in Wuchang, and he is also the so-called number one general in the world in later generations, but in fact, with 10,000 Eight Banner soldiers, nothing can be changed in the end.

On March 12, the 61st year of Kangxi, Ning Yu led the Fu Han army all the way south, turned the second garrison division originally stationed in Liantan Town, and then came to Anqing City, and together with Qian Ying's garrison Sixth Division, Anqing City was defended tightly.

At this time, the strength of the Fu Han army has reached more than 30,000 people, and the green battalion soldiers in the city are only more than 10,000 people, and there are more than 10,000 young men to defend the city together.

But everyone knows that the combat power of the Fu Han Army and the combat power of the Qing Army's Green Battalion are not the same level, after all, in the duel battle that broke out not long ago, Ning Yu ate Kangxi's 70,000 army with 30,000 people, and in the end, less than 10,000 people left in the Qing army fled to Luzhou, and even Kangxi has been in a coma.

In this case, the Qing soldiers were confused, and many people were already planning to secretly go out of the city and surrender, anyway, they all came out to be soldiers to eat, where can they eat? The Green Camp brothers who defected to the Fu Han Army before are now treated with ten acres of land for everyone!

Yue Zhongqi stood on the city wall, looking at the large camp of the Fu Han army gathered below, and couldn't help but sigh softly, and his figure became more and more depressed. A gust of cold wind hit, and Yue Zhongqi finally couldn't help coughing a few times.

Yue Shan held a big hat in his hand, put it on Yue Zhongqi, looked at his emaciated face, and couldn't help but persuade: "Young master, don't think about it anymore...... Your body is important....."

Yue Zhongqi tightened the big slug on his body and said, "I heard that the emperor is in a coma..... It seems that there are not many days left......" The voice was distant and sombre, with a bit of loneliness.

In fact, this rumor has been spread in the city, of course, at this moment, the so-called rumors are all shadows and military intelligence spread in the city, in order to break the morale of the Qing army, so as to take the whole city of Anqing without blood.

Although Yue Zhongqi had already cleaned up the military intelligence department in Anqing City, after all, it was not broken, and the situation of the Qing army became more and more delicate, so it was logical for the big clans in the city to hook up with the military intelligence department again, and as a result, the entire Anqing City became stormy.

At this time, Anqing really fulfilled Yue Zhongqi's wish, and became a completely lonely city, after all, in the original time, there were still Kangxi's 100,000 troops outside to respond, and when the Qing army was holding on to Anqing City, there was also a hope in his heart, so he could naturally hold on, but now that Kangxi has run away, there will be no reinforcements coming.

When Yue Zhongqi returned to the Admiral's Yamen, he found an uninvited guest standing outside the door.

This person looked like an extremely ordinary middle-aged man, wearing a white robe, his face was extremely ruddy, and he was wearing a melon skin hat on his head, looking at the returning Yue Zhongqi with a smile on his face.

When Yue Shan on the side saw this person, he immediately became alert, secretly put his hand on the handle of the knife, and his body was slightly sideways in front of Yue Zhongqi, in case this person did something wrong.

The middle-aged man was not the slightest surprised when he saw this, but said with a smile on his face: "Yue Junmen, I have never seen each other, and I really admire it!" ”

Yue Zhongqi glanced at the middle-aged man coldly, but gently pushed away Yue Shan, who was blocking in front of him.

"Presumably Your Excellency is the famous shopkeeper!"

"Exactly. The contemptible person is the shopkeeper. The middle-aged man's smile did not decrease.

Speaking of which, although Yue Zhongqi and this person have not officially met, but they have fought many times, the original planning of Zhang Yuanqi's rebellion, is the hands and feet of the military intelligence department, this move was originally to hit Yue Zhongqi by surprise, so as to take Anqing City in advance, but I didn't expect Yue Zhongqi to be extremely vigilant, forcing the military intelligence department to start in advance, although Zhang Yuanqi's department was taken away from Anqing, but it also led to serious damage to the military intelligence department in the entire Anqing City.

But among the people exposed at that time, there were only buddies and more than a dozen subordinates, and the shopkeeper who really controlled the intelligence power of the entire Anqing City was not exposed, so he had been playing a game of cat and mouse with Yue Zhongqi in the city, but today, the positions of the two seem to have been deflected.

Yue Zhongqi looked at the person in front of him with some annoyance, and snorted coldly: "You are so bold!" If you dare to come to my Admiral's Yamen, then you won't leave today. After speaking, seven or eight green battalion soldiers from the Admiral Yamen drew their sabers and walked slowly in the direction of Yue Zhongqi.

The shopkeeper didn't panic in the slightest, but just smiled and said, "Shouldn't you come here today to meet General Yue?" ”

Yue Zhongqi stared at the shopkeeper for a long time, then laughed, and then sent the green battalion soldiers away, and then invited the shopkeeper to drink and talk with him.

Now Anqing City has been besieged for a long time, and the materials are withered, so even Yue Zhongqi's Admiral Yamen is rare to buy a table of good wine and food, and only a plate of beef and a plate of fragrant beans are placed on the small wine table, in addition to a pot of slightly turbid rice wine, exuding an attractive fragrance.

"Thanks to the siege of the noble army, it is rare for me to find some good things in the Admiralty Yamen, and please don't blame me for being unhospitable." Yue Zhongqi poured a glass of rice wine and sighed in a low voice while drinking.

The shopkeeper was smiling, picking up the beef and eating it with relish, and from time to time he poured wine and drank with Yue Zhongqi. It's just that this makes Yue Zhongqi more and more suspicious.

"Today, the shopkeeper took such a strange risk and came to my Admiral's Yamen, isn't it just for this table of wine and food?"

The shopkeeper stopped his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "Although the wine and food are good, but after all, it is not a place to stay for a long time, and I haven't lived enough. ”

"Humph! For me? Then I want to hear it, and how for me? ”

"In today's general situation, can't the general still understand? Even if the Great Qing Kingdom can win a situation of dividing the north and the south for the time being, it will never have the slightest chance in the future. In this world of great controversy, the general should also think about it. ”

"Zheng ~ Qiang"

Yue Zhongqi pulled out the long sword on the sword platform behind him, put it on the chest of the shopkeeper, and said coldly: "With your words now, I can kill you with one sword!" ”

The shopkeeper was not afraid at all, and took a step forward, and the blade of the sword was already pressed against his chest, just waiting for Yue Zhongqi to use force, he could pierce the chest.

"I only ask General Yue one sentence, can the current Qing Dynasty still make you Yue Wumu?"
