Chapter 247: State Monopoly Capitalism (Part II)

Mao Gui, the governor of Mengcheng, has an upright and heroic temperament, but he does not lack heart, otherwise, he would not be regarded as his right-hand man by Zhi Zhima Li, and he personally helped the position of the chief manager of one party, and almost in an instant, he guessed that the envoy was not good.

In fact, no one in the audience reacted slowly, and after a little pondering, they understood why the envoys of the southern red scarves came, and they all opened their mouths to dissuade them: "No, you must be cautious in this matter, although those guys in the south belong to the same red scarf as us, but they are a group of short-sighted people, sell them firearms, maybe they will end up in the hands of someone." ”

"The general manager, please think twice, he Xu only conquered two county seats, so he hurriedly became the emperor, abandoning the agreement before the red scarf and raising the army, ignoring the agreement, if the firearms are in his hands, who knows if he will turn around and beat us."

"Yes, the chief manager, please think twice, that Peng Yingyu and Xiang Pusheng entered Hangzhou in July this year, and were driven out by Dong Junxiao in less than half a month, and then fought all the way, lost all the way, from Huzhou all the way to Huizhou, every time they occupy a place, the stay date is rarely more than ten days, and the gold and silver obtained are soft and the grain and grass are heavy, and they can also be taken away, and those who can't be taken away will be distributed to the people along the way, and the chief manager will sell the artillery to them, in case they feel cumbersome and lose it when they retreat, but they don't know who will be cheaper."

Among them, the most anxious are Zhang Shicheng and Wang Kerou, the two of them have an agreement with Zhu Bayi, and when the situation on Yangzhou Road is stable, they will take their respective subordinates to Jiangnan to attack the city and plunder the land, in case of meeting Peng Yingyu, Xiang Pusheng and others, the other party may not be as good as Zhu Bayi, and at that time there is more of a magic weapon in the hand than the other party, and the waist pole will naturally be harder, even if it cannot wield its full power in the field, and make more than a dozen cannons swing to the city when defending, it can also make it more difficult for the other party to break the city.

Therefore, the two of them did not wait for Zhu Eighty-one to express his position, and hurriedly said, "Chief Administrator, don't hand over the weapons of Zhenguo to the enemy in order to understand the urgent need, and the last general is willing to lead the troops out tomorrow, cross the Yangtze River, and transport all the grain from Zhenjiang, Jurong and other places to the General Manager." ”

"The last general is willing to be the vanguard under the general manager's account, immediately cross the river, and the troops will come to the city of Jiangning, persecute the dog officials of Meng Yuan, and redeem the city with grain.

Say 1,000, say 10,000, everyone here is not optimistic about the relationship between the red scarves of the north and the south, let alone the red scarves of the southern school as their own people.

Lu Lu had heard it anxiously, coughed a few times, and then arched his hand and said: "Lord, and listen to the old minister's words, right now Monk Peng has sent three confidants to act as messengers, if the lord avoids it again, he will definitely be laughed at and angry, and their intention The lord has not yet asked, how do you know that it must be for firearms, in case it is to strengthen the relationship between the two families, I am here to discuss a lot, isn't it a mediocre person to disturb himself." ”

"Master Lu is talking nonsense again." Everyone didn't respect him as much as they did for Zhu Bayi, and when they heard this, they immediately retorted angrily: "It's not for firearms, why did they come." ”

"Could it be that they will be kind enough to know that the Huai'an army is short of food, so they will send food with their eyes."

"Anyway, they can't take away the extra grain, they have to distribute it all to the people and transport it to us, no matter what they exchange, it will be a big advantage."

"If you come cheaply, you will naturally not cherish it, and if food is like this, firearms will be the same in the future."

In the blink of an eye, the temporary meeting hall was in a mess again, Zhu Bayi was in a good mood when he heard it, frowned, looked at Xu Hongsan again, and asked loudly: "How long have the three of them arrived, did they come by boat or horseback, and did they bring other people with them?" ”

Xu Hongsan's face was slightly red when he was asked, he lowered his head, and responded cautiously: "It should be by boat, but how many people did you bring, the last general is sending someone to investigate, and the governor will forgive the crime, the dock of Yangzhou City was destroyed by fire, and the ships that arrived in Yangzhou in the past few days were all parked along the canal, and the last general was negligent for a while, so they let them sneak in." ”

"I don't blame you for this, I didn't expect the situation to be so messy in advance." Zhu Bayi waved his hand and responded with a smile, "The canal is slow, even if the wharf in Yangzhou City is not burned down, they just find a place outside the city to park their boats, and then blend in with the refugees and walk into the city, you may not be able to distinguish them one by one." ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered one more thing, smiled, and commanded in a low voice: "Wait a while, you take my order arrow, go to the canal to find Zhu Qiang, and ask him to go back to the boat gang immediately, and invite the permanent deputy helper over, I have an important matter, I want to invite the permanent deputy helper to come out." ”

"Yes." Xu Hongsan arched his hand and shouted his order.

"This matter is not in a hurry, you go and invite the three messengers in first, just say that Zhu is unwell and can't go out to greet him, and I ask them to forgive me for my neglect." Zhu Bayi thought about it and continued to command.

Although the voice was not loud, the noise in the council chamber immediately stopped, and everyone turned their eyes to him, and their eyes were either relieved, disappointed, or angry, and so on.

"As long as they are still fighting against Dayuan and have not wantonly harmed the people, Zhu will still treat them as his own people." Zhu Bayi had long expected that everyone could not be satisfied with this decision, and he didn't want to appease them one by one, so he cleared his throat and slowly raised his voice, "As for him doing the emperor's affairs behind closed doors, Zhu can't control him, and he doesn't care, anyway, Zhu will not obey any emperor's edict, if he knows each other, it is best not to give Zhu any holy decree." ”

"The chief manager has a point." Whether it is Liu Futong or Xu Shouhui, seeing that Zhu Eighty-one has made up his mind, they all changed their words.

"It's not very difficult to imitate the four-pound cannon." Looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, Zhu Bayi sighed and continued, "We can prevent the red scarves of the southern faction, and we can't prevent the Mengyuan court in the north, and the power of the four-pound cannon, everyone has seen it these days, it is not as big as thought in advance, at the critical moment, it has to rely on proper planning, and the soldiers use their lives, if you always want to win the battle with one or two unique weapons, Zhu Mou said politely here, then I'm afraid our future will end here, there will be a spear and a shield, Others will not let us eat this trick forever, even if we can't imitate firearms, we will come up with effective ways to restrain firearms. ”

In fact, in the last few battles, firearms, especially the limitations of four-pound guns, have been exposed more and more obviously, scattered formations, fast advancing tactics, and bad weather, will have a great impact on the power of artillery, especially the last one, if it weren't for the Luzhou prefect secretly defected a few days ago, let everyone fight the green army a cold words, fighting in the rain, the Huai'an army may not be able to take the opponent, at least, will not make Zhang Mingjian not even have a chance to break through.

Just thinking about it, Xu Hongsan had already led Zhao Pusheng and the others in, but they were three sturdy men, each with a heroic spirit that only a veteran of a hundred battles had.

Zhao Pusheng, Chen Youliang and Ding Pulang were also very alert, their eyes swept towards the meeting hall, and they immediately recognized that it was Zhu Eighty-one who was coming to him in front of the bookcase, and then stopped at the same time, clenched his fists and stood solemnly, and said in unison: "The red scarf general Zhao Pusheng (Chen Youliang, Ding Pulang) visited Chief Manager Zhu, and wished Chief Zhu a long time in martial arts and won every battle." ”

After saying that, he took another half step back and slammed to the ground with the salute of a junior.

Zhu Bayi saw that he never mentioned the distinction between the north and the south of the red scarves and the topic of Maitreya's teaching, his heart became much more comfortable, and he hurriedly took a few steps forward and pulled the three of them up one by one, "Why should the three generals be so polite, you and I are both members of the Red Turban Army, just meet for the first time and meet with military salutes, don't make such trouble." ”

After that, he held Zhao Pusheng's arm with his hand, pulled him in front of Mao Gui and the others, and introduced them one by one, "Come, come, come, let Zhu introduce three colleagues here, this is the head of Mengcheng Mao, this is General Zhu under the account of General Guo of Haozhou, this is"

Zhao Pusheng, Chen Youliang, and Ding Pulang hurriedly saluted everyone one by one, and everyone also returned the same courtesy, coming and going, so it was not cumbersome.

After they all recognized each other's familiar faces, Zhu Eighty-one ordered someone to bring more than a dozen stools, and sat down for tea according to the guests, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Yangzhou City was burned by Zhang Mingjian's thief, and in a hurry, Zhu couldn't take out any good tea to entertain the guests. ”

After that, he picked up the teacup first and drank it to the sky.

According to the way of drinking tea, this is a very obvious faux pas, but Zhao Pusheng felt so happy, and he also learned from Zhu Eighty-one, dried the hot tea in one go, and then wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and responded loudly: "Good tea, in the last life, the best tea soup I have ever drunk is this bowl, and the taste of the big dragon group that was snatched from Weishun Wangfu last time is far inferior to this." ”

"It's all about who you drink with." Chen Youliang put down the teacup and said with a smile, "Don't joke about the chief manager, the last three generals are all martial artists, and I admire the ability of the chief manager, so I can ask for a bowl of boiled water to drink in front of the chief manager, and treat it as a gelatinous syrup. ”

"Yes, Second Brother Zhao and General Chen are right." Ding Pulang smiled and nodded vigorously, "The last general, where can you tell what kind of tea soup is good or bad, and being able to ask for a bowl of white water to drink in front of the chief manager is a very face-saving thing, as for usual, it is the most exciting to drink the blood of thieves on the head of the knife." ”

"It's a good sentence to drink blood with a knife, come, drink to win." Among the dozen or so people present, more than half of them were martial artists, and they didn't expect the three messengers to be so heroic, and after being stunned for a while, they all laughed and raised the hot tea to their mouths, and drank it all, and there was a hot feeling that instantly went straight from the throat to the bottom of the lower abdomen, making everyone's hearts seem to be on fire, warm, hot, and heroic.
