"Brother Zhang, Brother Quan, I heard that you are coming to Nanzhi, so a few of us discussed and decided to wash the dust for the two of us, and by the way, introduce a few friends to the two of us." The one who spoke was a pot-bellied businessman, whose surname was Wenfu, who had already dealt with Zhang Hui Quanyuan in Jingshi, and also invested 50,000 taels of silver in Quanyuan's gold mountain.

"Brother Fu is polite." Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan returned the salute together.

"There are a few masters today, but the two of them must meet, and there are few people in Nanzhi who have more weight than them." Fu Wenfu said softly.

"Brother Fu, you see that we are in a hurry, and the gifts are not ready yet, it is too rude to go like this." Zhang Hui said embarrassedly.

"No, no, a few masters heard that the two of them are going to find someone to buy shares in the gold mountain, and a few masters just want to buy shares." Fu Wenfu said softly.

"That's no problem, the interest is absolutely preferential." Jeon Won patted his chest and said softly.

In order to avoid offending the powerful and befriending the powerful, Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan raised the interest again for the powerful, and the interest of some powerful people is now up to two dollars and three cents.

Wangjiang Tower is the place where Fu Wenfu entertained Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan this time. In addition to the Qinglou women who accompanied the wine, there were more than 40 people attending the banquet, all of whom were dignitaries and local businessmen in Nanjing.

Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan are different from others, they need to make sure that their heads are clear, and what they are most afraid of is that they will spit out the truth after getting drunk. They are also the most afraid to participate in such a feast, they can't do it if they don't drink, and they are afraid of getting drunk when they drink. In this case, Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan generally pretend to be drunk in this situation. Zhang Hui will not speak at all, and the matter of speaking will be handed over to Quan Yuan, a professional liar, to be responsible.

After drinking and eating, Quan Yuan took out a stack of silver tickets from his bag with the smell of wine, and said to Fu Wenfu: "This is your interest money in the past few months, you point it, is the amount right?" "This kind of occasion is most suitable for acting, and Jeon Yuan is a full-scale explosion of acting.

"Brother Quan, you are too polite, this interest is not in a hurry, I still want to make a profit." Fu Wenfu pushed the silver ticket back and said.

"In that case, I'll go back and write it down for you." Jeon Won said drunkenly.

"Then there's Brother Lao." Fu Wenfu said politely.

"Today we don't talk about business, only about Fengyue." Sitting at the top was the garrison eunuch of the city of Nanjing. He had already received a message from Wang Liqian, saying that he wanted to protect Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan, and on the matter of Jinshan, Wang Liqian also told no one to make up his mind, and he could buy shares but never allow them to monopolize them, and Wang Liqian himself was a shareholder. Moreover, Wang Liqian also specially instructed that all the forces of Dongchang in Nanzhi should be handed over to Li Dajie for the time being.

"Yes, yes, I'm just talking about Fengyue today." Fu Wenfu sneered.

……

Until the wine and food were full, no one mentioned the matter of buying shares. But the next day, someone sent 100,000 taels of silver and asked for shares. Since this day, the people who have given money have not stopped, Jiangnan is rich, not only the high-ranking officials and nobles are rich, but the number of merchants is also more than that of the north, and the number of rich people is also more than that of the north.

Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan contacted the shipbuilding workshop openly, claiming to be preparing for going to sea, and on the other hand, they secretly bought merchant ships to go to sea and planned a retreat for themselves.

It's just that all this can't be hidden from Wang Liqian, Wang Liqian didn't dare to make a mistake in this matter, and the hidden piles sent out by Dongchang were twice as large as those in Beijing, not only keeping an eye on all shipbuilding workshops, but also those who had the ability to go to sea.

……

In early October, the decisive battle between the Ming and Burmese coalition forces finally broke out.

It was drizzling that day, and the two sides chose to be in an open area, and the armies of both sides set up their positions. On the frontal battlefield of this war, both sides committed 40,000 men. Xiong Tingbi invested 15,000 men, while the Burmese coalition army invested 30,000.

The army of the Ming Dynasty was a phalanx of 1,000 people, with 3,000 men for the left army, 7,000 for the middle army, and 5,000 for the right army. The 5,000 men of the right army were facing the 8,000 men of Mu Bang, which was the first place Xiong Tingbi wanted to break through, and Xiong Tingbi felt that Mu Bang's army was the weakest place of the Burmese Mu Coalition Army.

Although there was a drizzle in the entire sky, Chen Si still felt very sultry.

In the entire military formation, there were constantly fast horses shuttling among them, and the people on the horses read out the military regulations aloud:

"Cowards, slash!

Those who abandon weapons in battle, slash!

Whoever shoots without an order, behead!

Those who retreat without an order, slash!

If you don't obey the official, the order will not work, and if you don't stop prohibiting, you will be killed!

……”

Although many people in the new army have seen blood, it is definitely the first time to participate in a frontal battle, especially the first time to participate in such a large-scale war. Many people's hands holding guns in their hands were a little trembling, and their palms were full of sweat, and many people also felt that their heartbeat was twice as fast as usual at this time, and there was a feeling that their hearts were about to jump out.

The main direction of attack of the Burmese Wood Coalition Army was the Chinese army, and they wanted to use the numerical advantage to crush Xiong Tingbi's Chinese army, and they invested 15,000 men in the Chinese army.

The Burmese coalition army attacked first, and in fact, the Burmese army was also equipped with bird guns, but there were not many of them, and most of them were arquebuses obtained from the Portuguese.

"Beat the drums, the right army advances." Xiong Tingbi ordered.

"Knock, knock......" After a burst of drums, the right army began to advance. In the Dragon Army, in order to maintain the formation of the phalanx, each phalanx is equipped with a small drum, and the whole army must advance according to the drum beat.

Chen Si is in the right army, he is responsible for commanding his phalanx, this is the first time he has commanded such a large-scale war, compared to fear, he is more nervous in his heart, which also makes him very concentrated, he does not dare to make the slightest mistake, otherwise it will be a matter of losing his head.

The Chinese army was the first to charge by the Burmese coalition army, and their speed of charge was faster than that of the right army, and the distance between the two armies was soon close to the range of five hundred meters.

The Tiger Squat Cannon of the "......" Longteng Army conducted the first round of test firing. Xiong Tingbi put seventy percent of the artillery in the middle army, the left army put two percent, and the right army was responsible for the attack and only put one percent.

The first round of test firing caused only minor damage to the Burmese coalition forces, but the blood inspired the Burmese coalition forces, and they charged faster.

"Release ......" Longteng Army began the second round of shelling. The distance of 500 meters is the effective killing distance of the Tiger Squat Artillery, and a single shot can cause several casualties.

The second round of shelling apparently caused tremendous psychological pressure on the Burmese coalition army, which did not expect that the Longteng army would be equipped with hundreds of cannons, and the speed of the charge was reduced.

The right army of the Longteng Army has also entered the effective firing range.
