Chang Yu gave Wu Mengming a look and asked him to lead the team out of the city first, and then turned back to Zhou Yuji: "Is there something wrong with General Zhou Bing?" ”

Zhou Yuji has approached, and after saluting Chang Yu: "There is a matter to tell the general, there is a serious shortage of grain and grass in the city, and nearly 30,000 reinforcements are even more stretched, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to hold out for seven days, and the court owes more than half a year, with a gap of more than 500,000 yuan.

Chang Yu was a little surprised when he heard this: "The gap in arrears is more than 500,000 yuan, how can it be so much?" ”

"Taiyuan originally had more than 100,000 troops, and there were more than half a year in arrears, and it was indeed more than 500,000 according to the books, of course, the water was not small, but the specific amount could only be counted tomorrow at the earliest, but even if the water was removed, the difference was not big." Zhou Yuji explained.

Not much difference? The difference is very big, Chang Yu smiled secretly, historical records record that when the thief army attacked Taiyuan, Taiyuan had 100,000 troops, in fact, the old, weak, sick and disabled are enough to support sixty or seventy thousand, and three or four percent of the water is not big.

But at this time, the specific statistics have not come out, and he can't say anything, just nodded: "Our family brought 400,000 taels of silver from Datong, but we can use it for emergency first, and Ming'er will send it down after counting the troops, but we hope that there will be no deductions in this, please ask Zhou Zongbing to inform you of those subordinates, the past can not be corrected, but the current, hehe, Datong's Jiang Jiu is a precedent."

When Chang Yu said this, he stared at a few generals beside Zhou Yuji, and when he saw a few people change color, in fact, as early as the afternoon when the city tower was deliberating, Chang Yu had already informed Jiang Yu that he had beaten these subordinates by cutting down.

"Forgive them and don't dare" Zhou Yuji's face was cold, and then he said: "The matter of grain and grass ......"

"When our family came from Datong, we have informed Wang Jimo, and then he will escort the grain and grass over, but it will take some time" said with a slight pause: "In this way, Ming'er will go to the Jin Wangfu to borrow some first when I come back."

Zhou Yuji nodded slightly, and glanced at the direction of the city gate: "The factory governor is going out...... Business trip? By the way, when the last general was in the barracks just now, he saw that the military guards of the government were pulling out and said that they were going out of the city......"

Zhou Yuji was in charge of Taiyuan military affairs at this time, and he had the right to govern the transfer of any force, but he still couldn't decide whether these emperor's personal guards who came with Chang Yu were included, and he wanted to ask but he couldn't say it clearly.

"Well, our family ordered them to go out of the city to do something" Chang Yu said lightly and looked at Zhou Yuji, but saw him raise his eyebrows, and really had doubts: "Chang Gonggong is out of the city at this time......"

It is true that Chang Yu took a large group of people out of the city at this time is really suspicious, it is said that it is to spy on intelligence, there are professionals in the army who do not collect at night, and there is no need for the factory superintendent's people to go out, even if you can send Dongchang Fanzi or Jinyiwei to spy but there is no need for such a big battle, not to mention that the factory governor and Jinyiwei commander personally went out to find the thief army, it is even more impossible, the wind and dust servants have just arrived in Taiyuan, and they have not rested for half a day, so they hurriedly went out of the city, and they are tired.

In fact, if others are suspicious, they will not ask, and they don't have the guts.

But Zhou Yuji is different, firstly, this person is already brave and straight, plus he has the right to take care of Taiyuan military affairs at this time, and secondly, he and Chang Yu talked very happily all the way, knowing that they are not evil, they are all temperamental people, even if there is abruptness, they will not blame.

Forehead...... Chang Yu wanted to find an excuse to send it away, but after thinking about it, he still said it truthfully, stretched out his hand and waved away a few people around Zhou Yuji, let him come forward, and then said in a low voice: "Go and do something you despise."

Zhou Yuji was stunned at first, then frowned, and looked at Chang Yu with a little disbelief: "Robbery? ”

Chang Yu nodded slightly: "It's a lot"

"And how is this different from a thief?" Although Zhou Yuji's voice was low, his emotions were unusually full, and he could see that he was a little excited.

"Self is not the same as a thief! Our family does not rob civilians, and second, we do not rob and kill the people, but only take what should be taken" Chang Yu's tone also hardened, and he roared in a low voice: "The thief army has passed, not an inch of grass grows, our family does not take the thief for nothing, and the treasury is still empty at this time, and if you don't take anything to the soldiers to feed their families, why let them sacrifice their lives for the country, although this matter is despised, but for the country and the people have never hidden their secrets, our family is willing to bear this infamy!" ”

I had never seen Chang Yu so excited, and even his eyes were red, Zhou Yuji was quite surprised, although he knew that Chang Yu was excited, but it was difficult to understand the pressure he was bearing, but from his words and demeanor, he also knew that he was public and did not hide his selfishness, and there was a grievance in his heart.

So he exhaled heavily: "What is the wealth that should be taken?" ”

"Tartar spies, collaborating with the enemy and profiteers" Chang Yu also exhaled, calming down a little.

Zhou Yuji stopped talking, and didn't even ask if there was evidence, with his understanding of Chang Yu, he wouldn't do it without evidence, and with his understanding of Dongchang, he could make evidence without evidence, and he knew that this matter was unstoppable.

"You need to be careful on this trip, the thief army is going north, there must be a lot of spies or small groups of people scattered around, and it is very likely to encounter."

"I can't ask for it" Chang Yu smiled and raised the long knife in his hand: "If you don't sharpen it, it will rust" said and turned around and beat the horse away.

Zhou Yuji frowned deeply, looking at the back galloping away in the snow, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a eunuch, but he looked like a majestic general.

That's right, Chang Yu went out of the city to rob, and this was also the bait he could take Wu Mengming to Taiyuan.

Rob whom? Naturally not ordinary people, from Taiyuan to the south, all the way to Taigu, Qi County, Pingyao, Jiexiu, that is the gathering place of Shanxi rich merchants, like the later Qing Dynasty Jin merchants seven or eight out of ten are from these places, although not as famous as the country later, but also rich family.

But these people are not in Chang Yu's plunder, as he said, only to take the money, although there are many rich people in these places, but there are no traces of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, his target is Fan Yongdou, who was later named the head of the Eight Great Imperial Merchants by the Manchu Emperor!

The Ming and Qing dynasties were the beginning of the Jin merchants, and most of them were grain merchants at the beginning, which benefited from the imperial court policy, when Shaanxi, Gansu and Shanxi were inconvenient to transport grain, the cost was huge, and the imperial court could not bear it, so some people asked the merchants to work for the salt in exchange, and the imperial court approved.

As a result, a large number of merchants helped the imperial court transport grain in exchange for salt, and then went to the salt mine to take salt and sell it in the designated area, just like the tobacco management in later generations.

But at that time, salt was fragrant and sweet, one of the materials that the Manchurian and Mongolian grassland people were in urgent need, and at that time the trade city of Zhangjiakou was opened, and merchants from all over the world were recruited, so these Jin merchants took the opportunity to trade out of the customs, and then hired people to cultivate outside the customs, and when selling grain, they developed again, except for the horses and iron trade of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and slowly made a fortune, and slowly became spies.

Among them, the eight major businessmen led by Fan Yongdou are the largest, and Fan Yongdou is even more like the richest man in Shanxi.

Some people will be puzzled, Fan Yongdou is in Zhangjiakou, and Chang Yu is here in Taiyuan to rob a wool!

That's because Fan Yongdou's ancestral home is from Zhangyuan Village, Jiexiu, Shanxi.

Some people will ask if there will be money in the ancestral home?

The answer will be yes!

In later generations, people who came out of a small village developed well in the city, and they would return to their hometowns to build a building and put it away, even if no one lived there. This kind of psychology can be understood as a kind of homesickness, but it is more of a tradition.

And now it is in a traditional era, the Fan family to Jiexiu to Fan Yongdou has been eight generations, in the local rich side, rich and arrogant, but really go out to make the business bigger is Fan Yongdou and his father Fan Ming, Fan Ming after the eldest son Fan Yongkui took out, and when Fan Yongdou showed his strength to expand the Fan family's business territory, Fan Ming has retired to Zhangyuan Village, Fan Yongkui also returned to his father to take charge of the local business.

The ancients remembered their roots, how much money they made outside, in addition to working capital, most of them would be transported back to their hometowns, which can be seen from TV dramas, going to the west exit, breaking through the east or the Qiao family's compound.

Therefore, Chang Yu deduced that at this time, there was absolutely no shortage of silver in Fan Yongdou's hometown in Zhangyuan Village, and Fan Yongdou in Zhangjiakou could not be moved for a while, so he would go to his hometown to get some books first.

Taiyuan to Jiexiu nearly 300 miles, but Zhang Yuan Village in the northeast of Jiexiu close to Pingyao, in fact, only 200 miles, two horses to ride, with the average speed of the war horse 60 kilometers per hour, two or three hours is enough, but obviously even the horse can not carry people at this speed to run 100 kilometers without stopping, so he expects to reach at dawn.

A group of one hundred and twenty people, fifty brocade guards, fifty Teng Xiang guards and twenty Chang Yu's eunuch army entourage braved the snow to leave the city.

Walking to the wilderness of five miles outside the city, Chang Yu stopped the team and glanced at his subordinates, all of them were carefully selected strong men, but most of them still had a tired look in their expressions, after all, they had just arrived in Taiyuan to rest for less than half a day and were pulled out after a night of sleeping.

"Do you know the purpose of this trip?" Chang Yu asked with a smile.

Everyone shook their heads and didn't know, even Cheng Ming and the others didn't know, how did these little soldiers under him know.

"Go do some black work" Chang Yu smiled, everyone understood a little but was not sure, and they still had doubts when they looked at each other

"It's done, one hundred taels of silver per person!" Chang Yu said lightly, and immediately made the more than 100 people explode, and almost cheered, a hundred taels of silver!! It's like winning five million in the Hereafter!

"Master Factory, can you be more detailed?" Cheng Ming asked closer.

Chang Yu shook his head: "You don't have to know too much, let people kill when you kill, let people run when you run, everything is done according to orders, and the silver will be withdrawn after the matter is completed."

"Yes, listen to the order," Cheng Ming and the others hurriedly responded.

Chang Yu turned his head slightly, the sky was getting dark, and there were faint figures and horses' hooves in the distance, he knew that it was the three hundred military guards led by Tang Potian who followed closely behind, just in case, after all, according to the timeline, the thief army should also arrive in Fenzhou at this time, and Jiexiu and Fenzhou are close at hand, and there is still a chance of meeting the thief army Sanyong.

From Taiyuan to the south is divided into east and west roads, the west road is Qingxu, Jiaocheng, Wenshui, to Fenzhou, the east road goes down to Jinzhong, Taigu, Qixian, Pingyao to Jiexiu.

Chang Yu led the crowd to fight horses and gallop in the snow, and went straight to the east road, and there was a brocade guard in front of him who had stepped on the point to lead the way.
