Chapter 113: A Classic Case of Sudden Battle
The undisciplined chapter is here again. Do you want to give something?
"In the history of mankind, all kinds of deceptive actions, some for fame, some for profit, money, and beauty, we collectively refer to these actions as deception. But if it rises to the level of a state or an army, such behavior cannot be summed up in the word foolishness. It should be called strategic flickering, and that's where our flickering comes from! ”
At the meeting to welcome the new members, General Zhang, the acting director of the War Suddenly Bureau, impassionedly told these new blood about the glorious history of the War Sudden Situation.
He pointed to the banner hanging in the air and shouted, "The purpose of flickering is to better cover up our true purpose, to interfere with the enemy's line of sight, and then affect their judgment, so as to achieve the ultimate strategic goal!" Fooling is not our goal, just a means for us! ”
Next to Director Zhang's seat, Director Yin of the Training Department took over the topic, "You will come into contact with a lot of strategic cases of flickering in the future learning process, here, I will tell you about a classic case of flickering in Li Shouhan's early military struggle!" ”
Hearing Director Yin's words, the students who were sitting in danger below were surprised one by one, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to each other, and suddenly, a buzzing sound sounded in the venue.
Director Yin stood in front of the podium and pointed to the map that had just been hung with the whip in his hand, which was a strategic situation map of the South and Central regions at the beginning of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, which was already familiar to these students. A student muttered in a disapprehensive voice, "Cut!" This kind of picture will be drawn when Lao Tzu is in the army elementary school! ”
"I'm going to explain to you what I personally think is a classic case of fooling!"
"Lord, this kind of mirror hall is too expensive to spend money and food! And the labor is also consumed too much, this, please forgive the subordinates, I'm afraid it's difficult to achieve! Before Zheng Zhu walked into the back garden, he didn't even have time to look at the surrounding scenery and flowers and trees, when he heard Lei Mingsheng's slightly hoarse voice of cigarettes and wine.
When Chengqiguan led Zheng Zhu to Shouhan, he reported to him in a low voice: "My lord, Lord Zheng Zhu, the Titang official of the Yamen of the Annam Metropolitan Envoy to my presidential official Yamen, has been ordered to come and has arrived!" ”
Shouhan's eyes stared at the drawing on the table, and he waved his hand without raising his head, signaling Chengqiguan to step down, and then said in a muffled voice, "Lao Zheng, find a place to sit down by yourself." ”
Zheng Zhu looked around, and in the small pavilion, a huge rosewood frame occupied one-fifth of the space, and Shouhan and Lei Mingsheng, the head of the workshop, occupied at least half of the space, and the rest of the place was littered with a few bamboo chairs, and the floor was covered with two-foot square tiles, and there were discarded drawings and smeared messy papers, which rose and fell from time to time in the breeze from the lake.
He smiled bitterly in his heart, where is this going to sit? The mouth still replied respectfully: "The general is busy with official business, and the foreign minister is just waiting here." ”
"My lord, it's true that you let your subordinates build a house, but the house you want is really too big! The length should be 20 zhang, the width should be 10 zhang, and the height should be 3 zhang, I will not talk about the labor materials of your house, just such a large house, you see, in this general's mansion, there is still such a huge open space?! ”
"Your Excellency wants to build a house? It just so happens that the foreign minister is also a little involved in civil engineering, and he has also managed the palace construction affairs for my prince. Zheng Zhu accosted on the side, still with that respectful look on his face.
Let Zheng Zhu sit down beside him, Shouhan pointed to the rosewood frame on the side, "Old Zheng, have you seen that mirror?" ”
"Meticulous and ingenious. Don't know where this treasure came from? Zheng Zhu said a lot of things in Hejing that were insincere, but he was sincerely amazed by the endless variety of novelties that appeared here in Shouhan.
"Don't care where it came from, let me ask you, is it expensive to sell 10,000 silver for such a mirror?"
"Although the minister can't afford it, the minister thinks that if such a treasure is sold for 10,000 silver, the buyer is definitely a good friend of the adult, and the lord transferred it to him at a conscience price."
"Come and see!"
This construction drawing, called the Crystal Palace, was placed in front of Zheng Gong's eyes. To be honest, Zheng Zhu has repaired the palace for Prince Zheng, and he has also repaired the palace for Li Shenzong, his own house, and the house of his colleagues have also had some insight and experience, but such a palace room made him suddenly feel that Emperor Yang of Sui's labyrinth, and Qin Shihuang's Afang Palace is nothing more than that.
Needless to say, the palace is grand and magnificent, and the most jaw-dropping design is decorated with a mirror, so that after people walk in, they will transform into thousands of bodies, I don't know which is true and which is the shadow?
"I intend to use eight eight six hundred and forty mirrors to be placed in all parts of this crystal palace, in the middle of the palace room, with a mirror with a diameter of one zhang as the mother, and the rest of the small mirrors as children, surrounded by them. That's magnificent! ”
A six-foot-sized mirror costs 10,000 taels of silver, and it is also the conscience price of the cost! You want six hundred and forty faces? What's even more excessive is that there is actually a mirror with a diameter of too many feet as the mother mirror as the finishing touch, such extravagant and absurd behavior makes Zheng Zhu happily breathless.
"My lord, the minister is stupid, I don't know why my lord built such a magnificent palace?" In order to determine again whether he was really struck by happiness, Zheng Zhu cautiously asked again.
Lei Mingsheng on the side, I don't know whether he is ashamed or angry, and his black face has already shown a purple similar to sauce. "Ridiculous! It's not for the sake of absurdity! Although the voice was very small, Zheng Zhu still heard it very clearly.
His heart suddenly moved, could it be that building such a house was really the maze of Emperor Yang of Sui and the leopard room of Emperor Zhengde?
Shouhan was probably a little proud of his generosity, and reached out to untie a few ties on his clothes, letting the wind blow his somewhat hot face and chest. "At night, when the lights are on, it's like a dream. Summoning the Heavenly Witch to dance, and thankfully those Siamese beauties. Wow Ka ! ”
Zheng Zhu peeked at Lei Mingsheng's face, and his heart was bright, thinking that it was this young man's son-in-law, who was now overwhelmed by his own momentum, and was thinking about the alcoholic woman! I want to find a place in my house or on the ground to the left, and build such a house for my own pleasure.
Damn it! This guy is really blessed! Zheng Zhu swallowed hard and spitted.
Looking at the construction map, from the picture, the entire Crystal Palace is centered on a huge mirror hanging from the ceiling, surrounded by inlays, or placed hundreds of mirrors of various sizes, and this huge mirror is facing a huge bed, the purpose of building this house is self-evident.
Quarrels, fierce quarrels.
At first, it just happened between Shouhan and Lei Mingsheng, and the content of the quarrel was whether such a building should be built, the purpose of the construction was so unspeakable, and where did the money and food come from? The general was able to pull out his own money from his treasury, and there was no huge amount of timber to meet the needs of this house!
Then, the quarrel expanded to the high-ranking ministers of the General's Mansion who rushed to hear the news, and in the face of everyone's accusations and reproaches, Shouhan did not show weakness and insisted on building this crystal palace. The reason is also very good, "First, I do not spend public money and food, but build it with my own money; Second, as a governor, what if I have a place to rest? What kind of heavenly rule did you commit? ”
Zheng Zhu, who had been watching coldly for a long time, carefully analyzed everyone's expressions and actions, and even carefully studied and judged the subtleties on his face.
Finally, he made a judgment: this little guy really wants to do something nonsense to satisfy his desires, think about it, change himself, young, sitting on tens of thousands of male soldiers, occupying thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, the treasury is full, there is countless money and food, if you don't take out the indiscriminate spending to use it, it is absolutely unwilling!
"Ahem!" He coughed twice on the side, indicating his savings. "General, Rank Lord." The people who were arguing fiercely stopped the foaming quarrel and set their eyes on this envoy of the Zheng family who was resident in Ha Jing.
"What are you going to say?!" The old and virtuous Fu Bo's beard curled up one after another, and he couldn't stop panting in his mouth.
"Lord Fu, my lord, the foreign minister secretly thinks that what the general said is reasonable, and there is a need for a place to rest in public life. Traveling all over the world, where there is no king who has a private rest? ”
"Well said!" Shouhan patted Zheng Zhu's shoulder vigorously, "I have a reward for you when you turn around!" ”
"But!" In order to allow Li Shouhan's crystal palace to be built, Zheng Zhu decided to play with a small trick. "The minister thought that what Master Lei said was reasonable, and it was impossible to find such a giant wood in the mountains near Zuo for a while, and even if he did, he was afraid that he would not be able to transport it out of the mountains for a while. It is not good to delay the general's big event. Therefore, the foreign minister thought that a part of it could be built first, so that the general could have a small place to rest and play, and then gradually expand it, and finally achieve the magnificent scene on this map. ”
Others were either frowning, or slightly closing their eyes, each thinking about Zheng Cane's idea, only Shouhan snickered in his heart, this guy is playing with the trick of being played rotten in the future, first set up a project to build a project, and then keep adding budgets and additional investment!
"Then, as seen by Lord Zheng, how should it be created?" Lei Mingsheng has entered the level of technical discussion.
"Your Excellency, in the humble opinion of the foreign ministers, the grand cause of the general, is not a huge and gorgeous thing is not enough to match, so this glass mirror of more than one size is the dragon's eye in this palace, and it must be established here first."
Then, the surrounding sub-mirrors are inlaid one by one, installed, and erected, but the number will be greatly reduced, and the number of seventy-two earth-shattering sides can be inlaid around the giant mirror, and then, on the side of the couch, the number of thirty-six Tiangang will be established. Generals, lords, what do you think? ”
The original six hundred and forty mirrors were suddenly turned into one hundred and eight mirrors, and such a reduction made the expressions on Shouhan's distressed face very rich, and the expressions on the faces of the generals led by Fu Bo were not so tense, and the two sides seemed to have found an acceptable balance.
A mirror is 10,000 taels, 100 and 8 is 108,000 taels, you ask God to worship the Buddha to ensure that there are no problems in the process of transshipment, construction, and installation, even so, you have to play at least 20% of the wealth, that is more than 130,000 taels. Coupled with the huge "dragon eye", such a glass treasure mirror with more than one zhang will cost at least 50,000 silver.
Although the house has been drastically reduced, it is still more than 60 feet long, more than 30 feet wide, and about 15 feet high. Procurement of materials, hiring workers, and layout after completion, such a building, Li Thief, you don't spend more than two million taels of silver, I see how you can build it!
Zheng Zhu made a simple budget estimate based on his previous experience in building palace houses for King Zheng and Emperor Li.
"You yourself sent an official document on the Nanzhong Business Situation, paid various taxes, and spent a lot of money to buy the mountains, forests, land, and ponds in the south from the Reclamation Division, and the two things added up, in just a few months, have already spent millions of taels, I don't believe that you can use your own money to build this poor, luxurious, and shameless place!"
"It is necessary to use the money and grain of the government treasury."
Although Ha Jing is known as rich, you Li thief is so happy, building roads and bridges, raising soldiers, and transporting rice to the north for profit, immigrants to the south to reclaim the famine. Where is not a lot of money and food put into it? Come to think of it, the treasury was already a lot empty at this time
In this way, you are less and less dangerous to my lord.
However, the next words made Zheng Zhu's soul fly out of the sky.
"Lao Zheng, I originally planned to reward you with something, but it's a pity! You're not blessed. It's not a good thing to spoil me! ”
Sending off a group of important ministers, Shouhan Hu stared at Zheng Zhu with a dead face.
"You go back and sue your father-in-law, and ask him, is he still fighting in Laos? Can you beat it down? ”
According to the covenant between the two families, the Zheng family and Li Shouhan dealt with the Lao State together, and the one who arrived first was "the one who entered the customs first was the king", and this territory belonged to that family.
However, when the Nanzhong Army was about to launch an offensive against Laos, it was forced to go south to Siam to rescue Wang Bao. Although he signed an alliance with Siam, Prince Zheng in the north seized this time window to abuse Laos on a large scale.
In just a few months, more than 30% of Shangliao's territory has been captured by Zheng Wangye's proud soldiers who are equipped with nine-turn steel knives, guns and firearms.
However, the deeper you go into the interior of Laos, the more difficult it will be. The resistance of those mountain people was even more tenacious and crazy than that of the regular army of Laos. These mountain people, Zheng Zhu had also seen their fellow people on the streets of Ha Jing, and every time they fetched a bundle of firewood or went to the dock to carry a big bag for a day, they exchanged money, and then went to the tavern and restaurant to get drunk, and then they found a corner and fell asleep. It was this group of mountain people who looked extremely barbaric that they actually fought to the death with the Zheng family's army, often capturing a mountain village, and the Zheng family had to pay dozens or hundreds of casualties. Even if he was able to let go of the looting and killing later, and then set the village on fire, the morale was invisibly consumed little by little.
"If you can't beat it again, then don't blame me! I plan to go north from Zhongliao, you sue your lord, inform the former enemy generals, don't have a misunderstanding, otherwise, once the conflict starts, you will bear the consequences! ”
"Whew! Bluffing, empty words and intimidation! Zheng Zhu quickly connected Li Shouhan's table xiàn today in his mind and came to such a conclusion. You said you were going to do it, but what about your soldiers and horses? Is your money and food enough to support you in Laos?
"And! Sue your lord, let him be more respectful to his lord! Yu Gong, that is the official envoy of Annan who was officially canonized by my Ming Dynasty, Yu private! Hey! Shouhan brushed his sleeves away.
Leaving our poor Lord Zheng behind, he knelt in the pavilion like a walking corpse. After a long time, he got up and left at the urging of the maid who was cleaning.
The thieves of the Li family and the Li family really colluded!
Watching Zheng Zhu walk out in despair from a hidden place, Shouhan nodded to Niu Qiandao, Muya Dog and others with great satisfaction, "Do as planned." Let him see what he wants to see. ”
"Where is the Lordship?" Niu Qiandao asked in a low voice. "Would you like to explain?"
"Explain what? I don't spend the public's money, I use my own money to build a house for myself and take care of other people's affairs! ”
"In the next few days, Zheng Zhu sent his henchmen to investigate all over Hejing every day, but what he saw was that a large number of soldiers and horses were heading west, that is, a large number of weapons and gunpowder were made by the military factory, and countless baggage were rolling like a tide with the army westward."
"At this time, the construction of the general's mansion also began, and a huge glass mirror was transported to the private treasury of the general's mansion as a construction material reserve."
"As a diplomat hundreds of years ago, Zheng Zhu is undoubtedly suitable. He had the gift of being a diplomat, but he lacked proper training, which led to his personal tragedy and the tragedy of the Zheng family. ”
"He can't believe that in order to create a scam, our Li Shouhan actually invested so much money and used such a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources, just to create a false impression for him, our Nanzhong Army is going westward, and after solving the problem of the ownership of Laos, we will have a showdown with the Zheng family. However, unexpectedly, Zheng Zhu was killed by his own judgment. ”
Director Yin was very excited to explain this past incident, and analyzed the glorious history of the war for these students from the professional perspective of the war. In this way, these newcomers who have just devoted themselves to the big family of war and sudden situation can establish a glorious sense of mission and responsibility.
"Report!" A student blushed and raised his hand to ask.
"I want to know how much silver Li Shouhan's crystal palace has turned into. Whether or not the government treasury funds have been used. ”
Director Zhang, Director Yin, Director Li, Deputy Director Dai and others looked at each other and laughed loudly.
"I said that he is the founding patriarch of our war and sudden career, and some people have always disbelieved it, you see, there are still people who doubt the cost of the crystal palace." Director Zhang laughed loudly, "This classmate, you can go back to our library to check the relevant files, which contain detailed records of relevant expenses. ”
In the archives it is clearly recorded that the final accounts of the Crystal Palace.
Total cost: five hundred and forty-six taels and three cents.
That's the total cost of Crystal Palace.
For no other reason, the cost of Shouhan's glass has always been a highly secret.
