Final Chapter. 288. Play your hole cards

For Guan Beidou, although this answer is reasonable, it is also unexpected by him. In fact, as early as yesterday in the Senate where Chen Qingtai loaded the gun and Huang Jing fired the gun, the way to solve the dead end was already in front of him, but at that time, he thought that he had not been forced into a corner.

Of course, it is not that there is no money in his hand; The gold they pledged in the Nankang treasury alone was enough to pay off this huge amount of arrears. It's just that from Guan Beidou's point of view, these arrears owed to various merchant groups should be repaid in batches with future taxes and confiscated fields after Nankang annexed the Northern Yan Dynasty. When the Huayu Continent returns to peace, land will still be the most strapped material, and no businessman will oppose this more powerful repayment model.

And the silver that Di Ting held in his hands, in addition to being used as a consumption reserve for the Tianji Workshop, was a special fund for preparing to quickly lay a solid foundation for the "New Nankang Dynasty".

Predictably, if all goes well. On the day of the complete end of the Northern Yan Dynasty, the Qin army, the Bashu army, the Western Xinjiang, the Youbei Third Road, the Mobei Grassland, and other princes with heavy troops will also be defeated and withered in this war; And the Nankang army will be swept away by Liuhe and swept the Eight Wildernesses.

It is far easier to destroy than to build. After the Nankang army easily recovered the Huayu Continent, the cities and villages in the north and south of the river were inevitably devastated by the war, and the young men everywhere were almost exhausted. At that time, the situation left to the "New Kangnan Dynasty" will inevitably be in ruins and people's livelihood will wither.

repairing rivers and clearing wasteland, repairing walls and paving roads; opening positions for disaster relief and levying and issuing conscriptions; Breeding the population, cultivating and raising the people...... Either of these required a large sum of silver taels from the treasury to cover the huge expenditures of the recovery period; Therefore, at least within three years, the Nankang Dynasty, which secretly provoked this war and finally held the artifact, will definitely face a huge financial deficit!

Therefore, if Guan Beidou used this silver at this time to repay the arrears allocated to the Qin army and the Shenshi army for strategic materials, he could quickly get the full support of the Nankang people; But in the future, when the world is decided, where will he go to collect such a large sum of money and quickly calm the wounds left by the war?

After all, the laws of the Nankang Dynasty were strict; Like the tried and tested practice of "copying corrupt officials and filling up the state treasury" that has been tried and tested many times throughout the ages, it is no longer possible to regain its glory.

Those chaebols did not recover this arrears in time, which was nothing more than making less money and losing an opportunity to make a fortune; But if the people of "Xinnankang" did not have this money, I am afraid that the people would be full of resentment and starvation......

So from this point of view, there is nothing wrong with Guan Beidou's approach. Righteousness and subsections contradict each other, and he would rather damage his personal name and take righteousness, which is really a hero!

But in this way, for the chaebols of Nankang, it is also a matter of course to go against him. There is a way to borrow well, and it is not difficult to borrow again; At least before the last debt is paid off, even if Guan Beidou assassinates a hundred Huang Jing and assassinates ten thousand Chen Qingtai, no one will be willing to stand in his queue!

It seems that the noble act of scattering all family wealth and purifying sentient beings, everyone will give a thumbs up, and what they say is also words of approval; But if you want to cut the flesh on your body, then you still don't want to thank you.

But at present, Chen Ziling of the Qin army has been divided into three routes, and he went to the city of Jishui in Ludong as promised; The battle is on the verge of breaking out, and it can't be delayed any longer.

As a result, Guan Beidou had to take a step back first, promising to settle the medicine money of the Gusu Shang Gang and settle the anger of being imprisoned; then settle the salt, iron and sugar tea of the Liangjiang Merchant Gang to befriend Chen Qingtai and appease the children of Liangjiang; In the end, the balance of the eight major grain merchants in Nankang will be paid off, which can be regarded as a hope for those "small brands", so that everyone can temporarily settle down.

And Chen Qingtai has always been an old fox who pretends to be confused, and he also knows that Guan Beidou's practice of establishing the Northern Expedition and expanding the market is a good thing that has all the benefits and no harm; So he also took a step back, promising that as long as the presbyterian church owed, more than half of it could be settled; Then Guan Beidou's plan to send troops to the Northern Expedition will definitely not be a problem.

With Chen Qingtai's approval, those dizzying-sounding legal procedures were completed in just one day. Of course, the reason why the process is so smooth is not because Chen Qingtai's power has reached the level of covering the sky with one hand; It's all because of the imminent collapse of the Northern Yan Dynasty, everyone knows it; And those senators who represent the interests of various merchant groups are just using this matter to force the Council of Elders to settle the payment as soon as possible.

As for whether the fighter plane will be delayed and whether the bamboo basket will be used to draw water, that is a question for the future. The thinking mode of Nankang businessmen is that they never believe in the story of the mirror flowers and water, and only believe in the gold in their hands. Compared with those mirages, most people are more inclined to short-term benefits that can be obtained as soon as possible.

Now I see that Guan Beidou and Chen Qingtai of the Presbyterian Church have jointly signed a guarantee, and they have also quickly taken practical actions, and there is no sign of default; So for the peach of the Northern Yan Dynasty that is about to ripen, who doesn't want to taste it with their own mouths?

Businessmen have always been resolute and efficient, just like trafficking in seasonal fresh fruits. This characteristic is also one of the main reasons why the Nankang Dynasty was able to develop rapidly. There was no prevarication between the imperial court and the government, and there was no deduction and bribery, and all the departments worked overtime at the same time to make full use of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Chen Qingtai took over all the logistics of the army, and recommended an old water thief Huang Tianhao to take command. Guan Beidou was also very satisfied with this person, and assigned him to be responsible for commanding the 120,000 naval forces of Nankang, more than 800 warships, and 1,000 civilian ships; and Pang Qingshan, the commander of the infantry army and the chief general of the Worry Relief Army, at the same time ascended the altar to worship the commander, and swept away with an army of 180,000 water and land, and swept away towards the Northern Yan Dynasty, which was about to rotten wood!

Moreover, among the 60,000 Nankang infantry troops, there were 3,000 more strangers. They have no flags, no armor, no special logistics support establishment, and they are not subject to the military orders of the commander Pang Qingshan. These 3,000 spies are also the last trump card in Di Ting's hands; And the person who led the team was Guan Beidou's most trusted fourth brother, the loyal old black dog.

As the so-called good steel is used on the blade, this battle is the final battle of the Nankang Dynasty to change the world. When the light of Xinnankang shines on the Huayu continent; Then there is no point in continuing to exist as an underground organization.

And the reason why Guan Beidou was so decisive was because he witnessed the whole process of the rapid rout of the Qin army and the Shenshi tribe. In his opinion, the fundamental reason for the failure of these two families is because of the loss of the assistance of the Diting intelligence system. So now he also gave Pang Qingshan all the last 3,000 secret agents, which is equivalent to giving him a smooth and accurate intelligence command system.

Now it seems that all the elements of war such as troops, equipment, intelligence, and command system of the Nankang Dynasty are in a crushing situation. At this time, even if all the princes immediately abandon their previous suspicions and fight one in one place, they are not the enemy of the Nankang army at all!

Three days later, Pang Qingshan, the commander of the infantry army, led the army to swear in the north of the city; And Huang Tianhao, the commander of the navy, also "cut off the head of the chicken and dyed the dragon's eye" at the Shencheng wharf, and after worshipping the dragon king of the four seas, he led the army to board the warship. At this point, the culprit of this Huayu melee has finally shown his sharpest minions!

At the same time, Chang'an City, the old capital of the land of Sanqin, is also about to usher in their closest new ally, and it is also the last hole card of the Qin army - Bashu Dao Zhu Yuntao.

"His Majesty the Emperor of Qin" Zhou Changfeng led the mother of the country, the queen and the three Qin civil and military officials, and personally went out of the city to greet each other. On this road, it can be described as a clean water splashing street, a loess mat road, and a red carpet sold by big food merchants, which is spread on the official road to show solemnity.

At three o'clock in the morning, the herald who was in charge of listening to the news on the road ahead finally rushed back to the Taoist team.

"Report! Your Majesty, Zhu Yuntao, the king of Bashu, and the army led by him are less than fifty miles away......"

The herald looked hesitant, as if he was considering something; But Zhou Changfeng didn't care, but waved his hand behind him......

The two thousand civil and military officials and relatives of the emperor immediately turned over and dismounted; and Zhou Changfeng, who was sitting on the dragon chair, shook the sleeves of the bright yellow dragon robe and sat upright; He followed the red carpet in front of him and looked towards the end of the horizon......

Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and the two Ouchi guards behind Zhou Changfeng who were carrying the Yunluo umbrella cover were also staggered by the wind and could not stand firmly. When the wind weakened a little, Zhou Changfeng reached out and grabbed a white round piece of paper...

This is a piece of white paper money commonly used for funerals.

Zhou Changfeng's eyes rolled, and he immediately summoned the chief manager of Ouchi and whispered a few words; A moment later, the four Ouchi guards quickly rolled up the expensive red carpet......

After about a quarter of an hour, from the distant horizon, a blinding whiteness came; The leader was a sturdy man, holding a snow-white tall horse in his right hand, wearing an inky armor that looked quite similar to the black armor of the Qin army; And the soldiers accompanying him, although they were also wearing black armor, but everyone wore white and hung filial piety, and even the swords and guns in their hands were wrapped in white cloth, which didn't look like an elite division at all, but like a rich young master who had died!

When Zhou Changfeng saw Zhu Yuntao's appearance, although his eyes were flushed on the surface, his heart was already happy!

Zhu Yuntao's only son, Zhu Wenhan, died under Shen Guijian, which can be said to be a well-known thing in the world. However, unfortunately, the murderer Shen Gui died unexpectedly in the hands of Li Zilin; He wished Yuntao that if he wanted to avenge his beloved son with his own hands, it was already impossible.

But the people led by Zhu Yuntao chose this dress today, obviously transferring their outright hatred for Shen Gui to Emperor Tianyou, who shielded the murderer!
