The front page of the Globe and Mail carried an advertisement, which made many people not understand what this operation was at first glance, because now that there is a war on the frontier, it stands to reason that the front page headline should report the war on the frontier and the response policy of the imperial court.

The Globe and Mail a few days ago did exactly that.

But today, there was an advertisement!

But without exception, this ad caused a sensation!

The concept of advertising was launched by the "Globe and Mail", and when it was launched, the "Globe and Mail" completely set fire to a restaurant that was about to be unable to operate, so the advertisements of the "Globe and Mail" were highly sought after by those commercial houses!

Nowadays, the advertising price of "The Globe and Mail" is also getting higher and higher, and the price of the advertising space of the second edition has reached a sky-high price of 500 taels of silver!

As for the front-page headline advertisement, the price cannot be calculated, because The Globe and Mail does not sell it at all!

There was once a Hui merchant in the silk business, who offered a price of 5,000 taels of silver, just to put an advertisement on the front page, but he couldn't get his wish.

Because the Globe and Mail has clearly released the news to the outside world, if you want to place an advertisement on the front page of the "Globe and Mail", you must get the consent of the founder of the Globe and Mail Newspaper, the prince or Li Zhaotong, before you can negotiate!

But these two people, one is the prince of the dynasty, the other is the son of the old court, the son of the famous saint, the little god of wealth, how can ordinary people see it!

It is said that when the uncle of Chaoguo, Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, and Zhang Yanling, the Bo of Jianchang, went to the prince and Li Gongzi to ask for it, they couldn't arrive, and they got a bad face, and went back and smashed a porcelain vase with a disgraced face...... Neighbor's.

Therefore, everyone has a concept that the Globe and Mail has no intention of selling the front-page ads of the Globe and Mail at all.

But concepts are concepts!

Basically every reader of The Globe and Mail is looking forward to seeing who can become the darling of the Globe and Mail and get the ad on the front page of the Globe and Mail.

As a result, the suspense was quickly broken, and it was broken so abruptly! It's so exciting!

It's the front page headline!

And the title is even more exciting, which is directly - two cents and five hundred taels of silver, are you ready?

The above payment is also particularly exciting, because the above payment is Zhu Houzhao and Li Zhaotong!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Little God of Wealth jointly signed an advertisement! Really Jill Thrill! ”

"It's exciting to think about, two pennies have a chance to win five hundred taels of silver! And I feel like the odds of winning are still very good! ”

"The odds of winning are really good, but aren't you worried that it's a lie? When the time comes, there are too many people who win 500 taels of silver, so what should I do if the Seven Star Lottery betting station does not give prizes? ”

"I said are you stupid, this is an advertisement jointly signed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Li Gongzi, what does this mean, what does this mean is called the Seven Star Lottery Lottery, it is the property of the prince and Li Gongzi! What else are you worried about? Will the prince give a prize? ”

"It's really possible......"

The suspicious man whispered.

The person sitting next to him to explain to him couldn't help but cover his forehead and smile bitterly, he also knew that it was really possible for the prince not to give the prize, because there was basically no one in the world who was worthy of complete trust, including the one in the Fengtian Hall in the capital.

However, this person is on a blind date with Li Zhaotong, so he is very sure of it:

"If you don't believe it, forget it, anyway, I believe in the little God of Wealth!

Because let's not say that the little God of Wealth is rich and has enough silver to redeem the prize, the Little God of Wealth has never disappointed, and he has been leading everyone to make money, which is worthy of my trust once.

And, didn't you read the newspaper about it?

In the future, all the surplus will be donated to improve the living conditions of the soldiers, except for part of the surplus left to maintain the normal operation of the Lottery.

All the profits obtained by the Seven Stars Lottery in the near future will be donated, and together with the 100,000 taels of silver donated by the crown prince, they will be used to buy supplies and send them to the frontier to support the army that is fighting against the Tatars.

Bet on a number, but only two pennies, even if I don't win the lottery, I can be regarded as donating money to support the army on the frontier, contribute to the imperial court, and accumulate virtue for myself, so I think no matter what, this Seven Star Lottery is worth buying!

Without further ado, I'm going to try my luck right now. ”

"I'll go too!"

"Let's go!"

"Wait for me!"

……

Lottery betting station, currently only in the triangle and Tianjin city are set up, even in the capital, is not!

For no other reason, the preparation is too short!

In less than a day, it is obviously unrealistic to get this lottery ticket out and open a number of betting stations.

Now you can get the first lottery ticket, and get out the anti-counterfeiting function, which is Zhu Houzhao has a superb carrot carving technology, so, every lottery ticket, there is Zhu Houzhao carved the mark of the private seal.

As for the numbers above, they are all filled in manually.

Paper, too, is average.

The staff of the lottery station are all drawn from the Universal Academy, the Sun and Moon Divine Cult and the New Oriental Academy.

Completely, this is a grass platform team, and there are many loopholes to drill.

But there is no way, the soldiers are fast, and the frontier needs to be supported as soon as possible, and there is no way to give the "Seven Star Lottery Firm" too much time to prepare.

Fortunately, there is a deadline for this lottery to claim its prizes.

In addition, the people of the Ming Dynasty pay more attention to integrity, plus the lottery ticket is printed with the private seal of Zhu Houzhao's payment, so there should be no counterfeiters for the time being.

Except for the two stinky and shameless uncles.

However, those two stinky and shameless uncles are nothing to fear, because Zhu Houzhao can be directly scolded, and they also found a skilled carver like Zhu Houzhao for a while.

Therefore, it is barely feasible to take it out and distribute it now.

……

Not surprisingly, the Seven Star Lottery betting stations in Triangle Lake and Tianjin City are crowded with people.

The gimmick of five hundred taels of silver is too big, and many gambling dogs around Tianjin heard the news for a while, and the casinos did not go, so they crowded to the Seven Star Lottery betting station.

Their behavior, in their words, is: Lao Tzu didn't expect that gambling can also accumulate yin virtue! This must be supported!

That's right, these gambling dogs are all coming with the intention of accumulating yin virtue.

Gambling dogs know very well that gambling by themselves and ruining their families is a hurtful thing, and it is a matter of going to hell after death. However, they want to get rich overnight! They like the thrill of gambling! and so on, which makes them know that they will go to hell after death, and they will also go to gambling.

Now, Seven Star Lottery has allowed them to find psychological comfort, they never thought that gambling could still accumulate yin virtue!

This time, it detonated their emotions!

These gambling dogs burst into tears, grateful to Zhu Houzhao and Li Zhaotong, and thanked the two of them for donating the money they earned from Qixingcai, so that when they went to buy Qixingcai, they could also hold their heads high, and their chests were full of righteousness and blood!

For a while, the casino also burst into tears!

Because the casino, which is popular on weekdays, suddenly became crowded.

Then, the owner and guys of the casino began to curse Li Zhaotong for having a son.

As for Zhu Houzhao, they didn't dare to scold, so they could only scold angrily in their hearts.

……

Triangle Lake, Shouchang Gambling House.

This is the casino opened by Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling in Triangle Lake, which is located on Universal Avenue, and business is extremely hot on weekdays, but today, it is the same as other casinos.

On the contrary, it is the Seven Star Lottery betting station opposite them, which is crowded with people!

At this moment, in the Shouchang gambling house, Zhang Heling was scolding:

"Li Zhaotong of the dog day, you have a bad son who doesn't have a **, isn't it fragrant to make money in other industries? You have to make a Seven Star Lottery to rob Lao Tzu's business, and sincerely go against Lao Tzu, right? I'm going to kill you! ”

"Master Hou, do you really want to kill the little God of Wealth? The little ones will do it! ”

"Kill your uncle, fucking kill him! You can kill him, Lao Tzu, this Shouchang gambling house, you will be the shopkeeper in the future! If you can't kill him, it's easy, how about you die? ”

"The little ones don't dare!"

"Fuck! You bragging! You still killed Li Zhaotong's, Lao Tzu can't do it, how can you say it? Are you still better than Lao Tzu? Or can you single-handedly knock out the royal guard? ”

Zhang Heling scolded and scolded, but he knew very well that it was almost impossible to kill Li Zhaotong now, because Li Zhaotong was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he secretly hid in the barracks of the Ming Imperial Guard, and when he traveled, he brought hundreds of people to protect him, and the protection of the pomp was not worse than that of the emperor, and the protection of the pomp was ordered by the emperor himself, no worries, who has the ability to kill him!

Therefore, Zhang Heling is also hi!

Now that he is angry, the licking dog next to him is ashamed to kill Li Zhaotong, which makes Zhang Heling even more angry.

"The small can't be ......"

"If you can't, just give Lao Tzu a roll, don't let Lao Tzu see you again, otherwise I will see you once and kick you once!"

Only Zhang Heling pretended to be forced by himself, but no one else pretended to be forced in front of him, and now this dog thing doesn't have long eyes to pretend to be forced, Zhang Heling was so angry that he kicked this pretending to be a coerc.

……

(Anti-piracy content, will be modified later, you can first take a look at the following information on one of the three kings of the Ming Dynasty - Wang Yue, and modify it to the text after an hour.) I beg your pardon for the bad reading experience! ）

In Ganzhou, Wang Yue led the team to set off.

Let's talk about Wang Yue first!

Wang Yue, the word Shichang. The history books say that he was tall and good at shooting. In the second year of Jingtai (1451), he was a jinshi. It is said that during the court examination, a whirlwind suddenly blew, and his answer sheet was swept away by the wind. Seeing that he was about to fall off the list, he actually wrote another exam paper in the limited time left. The cleverness of his people can be seen.

Wang Yuezhong went to Shaanxi to serve as a district prosecutor (imperial history). In the early years of Tianshun, he became the director of the Shandong Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection (according to the inspector). In the seventh year of Tianshun (1463), the commander of the Datong Military Region (governor, capital imperial history, admiral military affairs) was vacant. On recommendation, Wang Yue took over the position and began his military career.

After the Tumubao Change, the Ming Dynasty shifted from strategic offensive to strategic defense against the Northern Yuan. The areas of Datong, Xuanfu and Yansui, which originally belonged to the second-line defense bases, became the forefront of resisting the invasion of the Northern Yuan, and were often attacked by the Northern Yuan, and the local economy and people's lives were seriously damaged. Immediately after Wang Yue took office, he repaired weapons and armor, trained soldiers, repaired forts, encouraged agriculture and commerce, and rebuilt the Datong Defense Zone.

In the third year of Chenghua (1467), the Ming Dynasty launched a campaign against the Northern Yuan. Wang Yue became the chief of staff of the expedition (Zanli Military Affairs). It is said that he once went on a tour with his coach Zhu Yongshuai with thousands of people, and suddenly encountered the enemy. Zhu Yong wanted to escape. Wang Yue stopped him and told the soldiers to line up to protect themselves. The enemy suspected an ambush and hesitated to attack. After the confrontation until dusk, Wang Yue ordered all the cavalry to dismount and march in a row, while he led the brave palace to retreat calmly to the Ming army castle fifty miles away under the cover of night. Afterwards, he said to Zhu Yong: "As soon as our side moves, the enemy will pursue, and no one will survive, so I have to keep quiet to confuse them." When we retreat, we dismount and walk, and the sound of our actions will be quiet, and it will not be easy to alarm the enemy, so that we can escape. ”

To be honest, Wang Yue appears to be wise in this story, which actually reflects the low combat effectiveness of the Ming army at that time. It is estimated that the number of enemy troops encountered by the two will not exceed the number of the Ming army, otherwise they would have rushed over a long time ago. But Zhu Yong, who was named the Marquis of Funing, had the first reaction to run away. And Wang Yue's reaction was only how to escape to save his life.

The combat effectiveness of the Ming army was like this, and of course this campaign was in vain, and it happened that the Northern Yuan was busy with infighting and asked the Ming Dynasty for trade (tribute), so the matter of conquest was not over. Probably because Wang Yue had a meritorious relationship in preserving his strength, and in the autumn of this year, he concurrently served as the commander of the Xuanfu Military Region (governor, admiral of military affairs).

With the experience of almost dying, it is estimated that Wang Yue fully realized that the low combat effectiveness of the army was a fatal injury, so he strengthened the training of soldiers in the two theaters under his direct jurisdiction. Two years later, in the fifth year of Chenghua, Wang Yue finally had the opportunity to show his talents.

At that time, the Hetao generation belonged to the border between the Ming and Northern Yuan dynasties. The Hetao was rich in water and grass, but due to the active attack on the Northern Yuan in the early Ming Dynasty, the Northern Yuan did not dare to go south, and the Hetao became a vacuum. Almost uninhabited. After the Tumubao Incident, the Northern Yuan began to infiltrate the Hetao area. By the fifth year of Chenghua, the Northern Yuan began to graze in the Hetao area on a large scale. So Yan Sui was in a hurry, and the court ordered Wang Yue to reinforce him.

Wang Yue led his headquarters to Yulin, and sent the guerrilla general Xu Ning out of Longzhou and Zhenjing Forts on the West Road, and Fan Jin out of Shenmu and Zhenqiang Forts on the East Road, and he and the lieutenant Qin Gang supported Yulin City. Xu Ning was in Lijiajian, and Fan Jin was in Yayaochuan and defeated the Northern Yuan army. The right staff general Shenying broke the enemy in Zhenqiang again. The Northern Yuan had no choice but to retreat.

Wang Yue thought he had won the victory, so he withdrew his troops in the first month of the following year. Unexpectedly, he returned to the Yaotou Pass, Beiyuan went and came back, and Yansui was in a hurry again. The Ministry of War impeached the more Wang Yue collected troops without authorization. This is the crime of killing the head. Fortunately, the emperor appreciated him, forgave him his sins, and ordered him to lead troops to be stationed near Yansui to standby. The Northern Yuan separated the five roads with more than 10,000 horsemen, and Wang Yue ordered Xu Ning and others to repel them.
