didn't notice Zhu Youxiao's face, Zhu Youzhen still said with great interest: "Big brother, if you believe me, leave this errand to me." However, big brother, you also have to make some contributions. ”

Listening to Zhu Youzhen's confidence, Zhu Youxiao was interested.

Xiao Wu didn't seem to want to use the Kaizhong method, and he didn't mention anything about salt at all.

Without salt introduction, what does Xiao Wu want to do?

He's not just bragging, is he?

"Little Five, can you really do it? What are you going to do? Zhu Youxiao asked cautiously.

Zhu Youxiao was afraid that Xiao Wu would propose to him that he needed a large amount of salt as a collateral condition. Then he really can't satisfy Xiao Wu

"It's very simple, big brother, I'll use your dividends at the end of the year first. At the end of the year, I may not be able to give it to my eldest brother. Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "Big brother, I'm afraid you're going to have a tight life this year." ”

As soon as he heard that this was such a condition, Zhu Youxiao relaxed immediately.

Yes, how did I forget, I still have 300,000 taels of private money!

Zhu Youxiao thought about it for a while, in the past two years, Xiao Wu would give him a dividend of 300,000 taels of silver at the end of every year. Now that the end of the year is not long away, it is not surprising that Xiao Wu will find a way to come up with this money first.

In this way, Xiao Wu only needs to raise another 300,000 yuan.

With Xiao Wu's business skills, this seems, probably, probably, and should be able to do it, right?

In short, Zhu Youxiao's confidence in Xiao Wu instantly increased a lot.

"Okay, then Ning Yuan's army, I will leave it to Xiao Wu to handle. If Xiao Wu needs other things, I will ask Wei Zhongxian to contact and coordinate with you. ”

Officially handed over the matter to Zhu Youzhen to deal with, and let go of the worries that had accumulated for several days, Zhu Youxiao suddenly felt relaxed.

Unconsciously, Zhu Youxiao was also less worried about the situation in Ningyuan.

Treat the army?

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Zhu Youzhen felt extremely awkward.

What's wrong?

"Your Majesty, great victory, Ningyuan great victory!"

At this time, Wei Zhongxian suddenly rushed in from outside the hall.

Don't say it, Father-in-law Wei, who is in his 50s, is really not slow to run.

I saw Wei Zhongxian running and shouting at Zhu Youxiao: "Great victory, Ning Yuan's great victory, Your Majesty." ”

Ningyuan is a great victory!

For a moment, Zhu Youzhen felt a little trance.

It's only been a few days, and it's been a great victory.

Was it that Houjin Laonu took the initiative to withdraw from the army, causing Ning Yuan to not fight at all?

Zhu Youzhen was still in a trance, and Zhu Youxiao asked directly: "The old slave has retired from the army?" ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty."

Wei Zhongxian stopped panting, and the first thing he said was his most proficient auspicious words for New Year's greetings.

"Your Majesty is mighty, Houjin Lao Nu has already retired from the army, and I Ning Yuan is safe and sound. This is good news from Shanhaiguan. Wei Zhongxian respectfully sent the piece in his hand to Zhu Youxiao.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhu Youzhen felt like a dream. How he looked, how it felt a little unreal!

The old slave just retired?

What about Kyaw Wah Island?

The old slave doesn't fight?

I really couldn't help it, Zhu Youzhen interjected and asked: "Did the old slave quit the army before the fight?" Or was he repulsed by us? ”

As if he had just seen Zhu Youjian standing aside, an indescribable light flashed in Wei Zhongxian's eyes.

"Reply to His Royal Highness," Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but bring out a hint of ridicule in his respectful reply.

"How can you not fight, how can you withdraw from the army if you don't fight the old slave.

The old slave was a soldier who attacked Ningyuan for several days in a row, and after encountering a head under Ningyuan City, he was forced to retreat when he saw that he could not capture Ningyuan.

The old slave is indeed retired now.

Ning Yuan's Tanma has been keeping an eye on them. The main forces of Houjin have all withdrawn from the Jinyou line.

The old slave is indeed retired. ”

Hearing Wei Zhongxian's affirmative answer, Zhu Youzhen's head buzzed. He could finally be sure that history had indeed changed.

At least, the Kyaw Hwa Island tragedy did not happen.

Also, it is estimated that the area around Juehua Island has not yet frozen, and it is still all seawater!

There is no naval army in Houjin, and there is definitely no way to take Juehua Island now.

Even Juehua Island has not been defeated, so Houjin's dispatch of troops this time can really only be regarded as a failure.

What about the old slaves?

I don't know if Nurhachi was hit by Ning Yuan's red-clothed cannon.

Zhu Youzhen was pondering in his heart, and he heard Zhu Youxiao shout with joy on his face: "Okay, great." It is long overdue for the old slave to taste the power of this red-coated cannon. ”

What's the matter, Yuan Chonghuan really killed the old slave?

Without waiting for Zhu Youzhen to ask, he heard Zhu Youxiao laugh and ask Wei Zhongxian: "Companion, Ning Yuan relied on the red-clothed cannon to annihilate tens of thousands of enemies, is it a big victory?" ”

"No matter what you rely on, destroying tens of thousands of enemies can be regarded as a big victory," Wei Zhongxian replied solemnly.

"Your Majesty, this is my first big victory over the Houjin Tartars. Although it is all thanks to His Majesty's blessing, but the red-clothed cannon is indeed indispensable, the old slave has asked His Majesty to reward this magic weapon first, in order to boost my Ming military might! ”

"Well, it's good to be a big win. As for rewarding the red-clothed cannon, it still has to wait for Ning Yuan's actual results to be checked before it is confirmed. Zhu Youxiao ignored Wei Zhongxian's sycophants and lightly brought over the topic of rewards.

Turning his head, Zhu Youxiao smiled and pointed at Zhu Youjian.

"Companion, the matter of Ning Yuan's reward for the labor army, I have given full authority to King Xin. You should help the king a lot, and don't miss the great event of rewarding the heroes. ”

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's explanation, the smile on Wei Zhongxian's face froze. After a pause, Wei Zhongxian replied respectfully: "The old slave obeys." ”

Ignoring Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said to Zhu Youzhen: "Little Wu, it seems that you are really my lucky star!" You just said that Ning Yuan would win, and Ning Yuan really won. I'll leave the matter of the army to you now, and you can't miss my big thing! ”

Hearing Zhu Youxiao say this, the smile on Wei Zhongxian's face became more and more stiff.

"Sacrifice?"

Hearing the word "Sacrifice Army" again, Zhu Youzhen complained loudly: "Big brother, when did I promise you to take care of the army's affairs?"

I only promise you, I will prepare the materials that Ning Yuan needs. I just need to arrange for the merchants to transport supplies to Ningyuan, and I don't care how Ningyuan arranges them.

You'd better send someone else. ”

Listening to Zhu Youzhen's complaints, the smile on Wei Zhongxian's face softened a lot.

When Zhu Youxiao said the word "Sacrifice Army" again, Zhu Youzhen suddenly felt a thrill in his heart.

Zhu Youzhen suddenly figured out what his strange feeling was when he heard his eldest brother borrowing money from him.

With Wei Zhongxian's current control over the imperial court, how could the imperial court not even be able to take out a mere 600,000 taels of silver.

Lao Wei is deliberately directing the eyes of his eldest brother Zhu Youxiao to him, right?

Fortunately, he didn't take out 600,000 taels of silver in one fell swoop.

Or......

Zhu Youxiao is his eldest brother again, but he is still an emperor!

Even if Zhu Youxiao has no other ideas, as long as Zhu Youzhen pays the money happily, then with Zhu Youxiao's character, he will definitely be in charge of the matter of the army directly to Zhu Youzhen, just like just now.

Sacrificing the army is not a trivial matter, except for the emperor, who is qualified to arrange the army.

Even if there is a dispatch from the emperor, but Zhu Youzhen is a vassal king and still runs to the army, isn't that also uncomfortable?

If it is rumored that the money for the army was also paid by him Zhu Youzhen, then didn't he Zhu Youzhen stand up and be a target for civilian officials?

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen felt that the vest was a little cold.

The underwear behind him is just afraid that it will be soaked in cold sweat.

He Zhu Youzhen must not carry this pot.
