The rooster reported that the sky was not yet bright, Chang Yu got up and practiced boxing, washed up and had breakfast, Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji were still asleep, and they were too tired to gallop hundreds of miles and fight several times in the past few days.

However, Li Muxian got up earlier, and when Chang Yu was eating, he saw him coming from outside with a fairy spirit, accompanied by Xiang Minxin with a smile on his face.

Chang Yu was very surprised, although this thing had never participated in the war, it was hard to ride a horse all the way, but he got up early in the morning and looked energetic, so he asked curiously.

"The poor path is a person who cultivates the Tao, and he is not sleepy like the laity, and he pays attention to meditation and meditation ......"

got it, Chang Yu had a headache when he heard him talk about this, and quickly asked him to stop: "Just say what are you doing early in the morning?" ”

"Go to the city to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, the so-called plan of the day lies in the morning ......" Seeing Chang Yu rolling his eyes, he hurriedly said: "By the way, Commander Xiang took a look at Feng Shui and divined the hexagram......"

Chang Yu was dumbfounded for a long time when he heard this, and it took him a long time to recover, yes, where does this charlatan go, but there are still people who believe him, he glanced up at Xiang Minxin, saw that he was smiling, bowed to himself, and called out to the lord!

This person is not stupid at all, looking for Li Muxian to see feng shui is really the right person!

Obviously, Xiang Minxin was uneasy because of the empty salary, so he asked Li Muxian to inquire, and with his eyesight, he could naturally see that Li Muxian was a person close to the little eunuch and an extremely important role.

Of course, it's not free to ask about things, but if you give it directly, it's a bribe, so look at Feng Shui.

"Commander Xiang, can this Dao Leader see it accurately?" Chang Yu asked lightly.

Xiang Minxin hurriedly stepped forward and exaggerated: "Dao Chang is really a living immortal, very accurate, very ......accurate."

"Since it's very accurate, then you have to thank the Taoist chief, you have to give people some incense money" Chang Yu looked at Li Muxian and smiled, and his scalp was numb.

Chang Yu waved his hand to let Xiang Minxin retreat, staring at Li Muxian and smiling slightly: "Although Dao Chief, although you are a person from the outside world, you are also a member of my Yamen, you should have heard of the recent anti-corruption in the Yamen."

"Anti-corruption is a good thing, and it is also an urgent matter for the imperial court, if you stay for another two years, the Ming Dynasty will be hollowed out" Li Muxian shook his head with a look of pity and sat down opposite Chang Yu.

"Yes, the Taoist can also see it," Chang Yu raised the corners of his mouth.

"Corruption has reached a shocking point, do you know that the poor road just now for the people's heart to see the feng shui hexagram, he in order to thank the poor road he donated 50,000 taels of incense money, an Acropolis commander can donate 50,000 taels of silver with a raised hand!! What a crazy thing to do, to the point of smacking! ”

"So you will accept it" Chang Yu looked at his hard performance and said lightly, Li Muxian's hands shook like a rattle: "How can that, if you donate an incense money, you will receive ten taels or eight hundred taels of poor Dao, how can you afford these 50,000 taels, not to mention that our yamen is fighting corruption, and the poor Dao will not accept it."

"If you don't accept him, you won't give it," Chang Yu asked again.

"How can it, the poor road has leaked the heavenly opportunity for its divination and shortened the yang life, and its gratitude must be given, but the poor road can't ask for it, so I thought of a compromise method, and the silver was donated to the East Factory!"

Well? Chang Yu raised his eyebrows, and Li Muxian hurriedly said: "No, no, it is donated to the soldiers who participated in the war, and Dongchang will keep it on behalf of the soldiers to reward the meritorious soldiers."

Ay! Chang Yu got up and sighed, and glanced at Li Muxian: "It's a pity that you are a Taoist."

"Poor Dao also thinks that it is, if the factory governor is willing to recommend him to enter the court as an official, Poor Dao will fly Huang Teng to reach the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty......" When Li Muxian was playing tricks, Chang Yu, who walked to the door, suddenly turned around, and the corners of his mouth were raised: "Forget about entering the court, how about entering the palace?" ”

"Enter the palace and face the holy ...... Ah, no, no, no" Li Muxian suddenly felt a tightness in his crotch, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Poor Dao and Sanqing are fated to be a Taoist priest with peace of mind, and ......" Chang Yu laughed out loud as he spoke.

"Is the factory supervisor going out of the yamen, and he will accompany you for a walk" Xiang Minxin in the courtyard saw Chang Yu walking out of the room and hurriedly asked, looking a little nervous.

Chang Yu glanced at him and waved his hand: "Ben Du is walking around by himself, you better go and accompany the living immortal" said and laughed out of the yamen.

The little eunuch didn't go out of the yamen alone, not to mention that he didn't dare to be careless, even his personal servants didn't allow him to take risks, and he was accompanied by more than ten guards, Chang Yu felt that it was too ostentatious, so Chen Ruxin and the four guards went to the street.

It's still early, there are not many pedestrians on the street, Chang Yu Zhengle is free to ride a horse in the city to wander up, this Tianjin Wei built the city for the rectangular folk called the abacus city, there are only guards and military families in the city, the development of two hundred years has been no different from the big city!

After turning around on the street for a while, he went straight to the east city wall, the guards blocked, Chen Ruxin showed his waist card, and the guards saw that the people in Dongchang were cold, and quickly welcomed a few people to the city but followed far behind.

"Did Xiang Minxin let you follow, or did he live impatiently," Chen Ruxin raised his eyebrows, held down the hilt of his sword, and stopped the guards in a low voice.

The guards were shocked and waved their hands again and again: "Father-in-law misunderstood, no one instructed the little ones, the little ones just want to protect a few fathers-in-law......

"Get out" Chen Ruxin scolded, and the left sentence of the father-in-law and the father-in-law in his heart really made people angry.

Chang Yu didn't have the leisure to pay attention to these, the head of the city went slowly to the north, the wind in the city was very cool, and a glow tore the sky in the east, and the sun finally came out.

Hey, here we are! As soon as Chang Yu walked to the northeast corner, he saw a large army coming slowly a few miles north of the city, and the main force of the infantry in the rear finally slipped over slowly overnight.

Placing the army is not a trivial matter, Chang Yu has no intention of being a vassal in the city, and hurriedly went down the city and returned to the yamen, at this time Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong had also gotten up, and when they heard that the infantry had arrived, Xiang Minxin personally went to meet him outside the city.

"Look at this guy scared, not only donating money but also serving before and after the saddle, the factory man, the name of our East Factory Yamen is really useful!" Li Muxian looked at Xiang Minxin, who was leaving in a hurry, and couldn't help but quip.

"The Taoist is modest, the name of the East Factory is not as good as your mouth!" Chang Yu pursed his lips, and Li Muxian laughed: "If it weren't for his weak heart as a thief, why would he be here."

Chang Yu snorted coldly: "If it weren't for the fact that Ben Du cut off his head just because he ate empty salaries, and now he spent 50,000 silver to buy his life."

"That's, that's" Li Muxian also responded a little weakly.

Half a quarter later, Chang Yu and his party went out of the city to settle the soldiers and horses.

The infantry is the Beijing battalion, and there are more than 50,000 people and horses in the three divisions of the pro-guard army and Huang Degong.

Even if the garrison of Tianjin Wei was less than 20,000 at the most glorious time, at this time it was impossible to receive so many soldiers and horses, and there was not so much food and grass supply, although Xiang Minxin wanted to show a good performance, but it was difficult for Qiao Woman to cook without rice, and came to Chang Yu to complain in disgrace......

Chang Yu didn't deliberately embarrass him, this time he just temporarily found a place to rest, not to enter the city to garrison, so the soldiers and horses did not enter the city, and after a temporary rest outside the city, he would go to camp at the mouth of the Northwest Sea River, where the Qing army must go south and north, and it was best to wait for the rabbit there.

As for the grain and grass to be transported by the logistics department of the capital, Tianjin Wei can provide some convenience and help from the friendship of the landlords.

Of course, the friendship of the landlord in Chang Yu's mouth is not a kind word, but a substantive service, I come to your house as a guest, you have to invite you to dinner!

Mobilize the whole city to donate food and grass!

Xiang Minxin was dizzy for a while, playing word games, isn't this still asking Tianjin Wei to provide food and grass.

However, thinking about the difference between letting the Wei Institute provide grain and grass and mobilizing large households in the city to donate, it just depends on how big your face is in Tianjin Wei!

In fact, Chang Yu is also helpless, in just a few months, first went north to the outside of the pass and then south to suppress the bandits, and then surrounded and pursued the Qing army, and at the same time also needed a large number of grain and grass, and at this time the capital was extremely short, although he had launched the Octopus Chamber of Commerce to transfer military grain from other provinces into Beijing, but the logistics speed of this era was far from the water to quench the thirst, and at this time the Qing army plundered along the canal south, waterway transportation was interrupted for a time, and the grain and grass in the capital were even tighter.

The people in the city want to eat, and the tens of thousands of troops outside the city also have to eat, and Chang Yu doesn't know the specific amount of how much they will consume every day, but he knows that it is an extremely large number, and the capital is in short supply at this time!

Although it is the most urgent task of the Ming Dynasty to drive the Qing army out of the country at the moment, the imperial court also attaches great importance to this time, and transfers troops and food at all costs to support the little eunuchs on the front line, but it has reached the point where there is more than enough heart and not enough strength.

I don't have it at home, and I can't rob like the thief army and the Qing army, so I can only ask my relatives to eat, this is not the first time Chang Yu has done this, and he has repeatedly succeeded, such as borrowing in Datong, Taiyuan Zhu Xianxuan's family is about to be hollowed out by him, and even a few days ago, when the Qing army besieged the imperial capital, he also launched a fundraiser and got a lot of money, if it wasn't for the income at that time, I'm afraid that now they are all out of food.

It's a pity, it's a pity, there are no feudal fiefdoms around, otherwise you can "borrow" a lot of money, Chang Yu stood under the Tianjin Acropolis with a lot of emotion, a face of regret!
