113. Fight
When the smell of wine came into his nose, Wang Haoran suddenly showed a disgusting look on his face, and covered his nose with his sleeve: "Take it away!" ”
"Don't drink, eleventh brother, what are you doing in the restaurant?" The person who served him with wine was slightly older than him, and said with a smile: "Besides, didn't you say that the eleventh brother said that you could pacify 100,000 herdsmen in a land, and the wine in the cup was often full of guests, which was your ambition in this life, and now you can't calm down a place, can't you even drink wine?" ”
"Brother Mingjia, don't you know, I was poured a pot of wine, which made me drunk for two nights, and I will recuperate, and then I want to vomit when I smell the wine." Wang Haoran said.
"It's not that you're greedy for a cup, if you don't want to drink, who can force you to come? By the way, I recently heard that you have a lot of contact with Gu Hengbo, a newly famous celebrity...... Could it be that wine is not charming and people are obsessed with themselves, hahahaha! ”
"Mingjia, don't laugh at me, if you know who poured my wine, you will think that this Nanjing is really small!"
"Oh, who?"
"Yu Guozhen is the Wuwei Little Tiger, the one who broke the chaos in Tongcheng!" Speaking of this, Wang Haoran laughed and said: "Some time ago, our brother was still talking about him, and I didn't expect to meet him, I was going to visit him in Wuwei before I went back, but now I met him in Xiang'an...... Brother Mingjia, you didn't expect it, he came to Nanjing! ”
When it comes to Yu Guozhen, he is really a role model for young people like Wang Haoran who are interested in national affairs! In the previous conversation between Wang Haoran and this famous brother, he was amazed more than once, and even commented that "the prosperity of the country must be in the body of the Yu family"!
"Ha, ha, eleven o'clock, you're so pitiful, you've been drunk and haven't gone out these days, right?" The famous brother looked at him with a sad expression.
"Huh?"
Mingjia took out a book and a neatly folded piece of paper, and put it in front of Wang Haoran: "Although I, Wang Chuanyu, only work in the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, I also know the world's major events...... Take a look. ”
Wang Haoran took it and took a look, the book had four big characters of "People's Livelihood Miscellaneous", and there was a small line of words next to the eyebrow note "Chongzhen's seventh year, the second period, the second issue". He sighed, "What kind of book is this?" ”
"You read the newspaper first." Wang Chuanyu snatched the book back: "Some of the books in this book are about Western learning, you can't understand it." ”
"Who says I can't understand, I'm dumber than you? If you can't say it, don't say that you are a clan brother, even if you are a brother, I will turn my face. Wang Haoran opened the folded big paper, and muttered nonsense in his mouth.
The paper is quite large, and there is dense handwriting on it, Wang Haoran saw these words, first "Huh", and then saw the four words "People's Livelihood Express" at the end.
"Hey, isn't this just a private newspaper?" After reading the inaugural words, Wang Haoran said: "This word is beautifully printed, such a large edition...... I'm afraid this private newspaper will cost a lot of money, and I don't know which fool did it! ”
"Look." Wang Chuanyu was dissatisfied.
Wang Haoran looked down again, and saw a row of big black characters on the front page: "Wuwei young tiger enters Jinling, and the Qinhuai River is a star."
"What bullshit doesn't make sense...... Brother, that's what you're letting me see...... Hey? ”
Wang Haoran was about to say something mean, but he immediately understood that what he said in this private newspaper was the matter of Wuwei Cub coming to Jinling!
No wonder when he mentioned that he saw Yu Guozhen, Wang Chuanyu was not surprised at all, it turned out that he had already gotten the news from this private newspaper!
"I was really young and vigorous, and I made a gambling contract with the son of the chief military officer of Liaodong, to evaluate Qin Huai's name and select Bayan!" After reading the content, Wang Haoran was really angry and funny: "If the current situation is like this today, the two of them are tiger generals, but they are doing this extravagant thing in Nanjing!" ”
"How, I think it's interesting, you can read this "People's Livelihood Miscellaneous" again." Wang Chuanyu handed the book in his hand to Wang Haoran: "There is also this "Storm Collection"! ”
Wang Haoran took it and flipped through it, but he didn't see anything: "Recently, I have always heard people mention "Storm Collection", and I am looking for a copy to see, Brother A, this book will be sent to me ......"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Chuanyu snatched back the "Storm Collection" and "People's Livelihood Miscellaneous": "These two books are placed with you, they are really pearls, you are good at talking about military affairs, but this book does not contain military affairs, and all you remember is practical learning and Taixi's introduction." ”
"So what?"
"At the beginning, when I got this "Storm Collection", I was surprised by the editor-in-chief's mastery of practical learning, and wanted to come to the door to ask for advice, but I never knew who the editor-in-chief named 'Jimin' was, and now I finally know, it turns out that he is Yu Guozhen!"
"Huh? How do you know? ”
"You see, these two books and this private newspaper are almost exactly the same as the words printed, they are all Song Kai! Jinling Printing Bureau, no, in the entire world printing bureau, I have never seen such a clean and beautiful print! Wang Chuanyu said excitedly: "You know that I have a job in the Ministry of Industry, but I have studied printing, why is movable type not popular......
Speaking of this, Wang Chuanyu entered a state of madness, and Wang Haoran couldn't help but shake his head when he saw his excited face.
If he hadn't been distracted by this, his brother would not have come to Nanjing as a Xinwei Kejinshi to lead an errand in the Ministry of Industry, and as long as he spent half of his energy on activities, he could shepherd a state and a county.
After a while, Wang Chuanlu came back to his senses: "What is advocated in this "People's Livelihood Express" is about Yu Guozhen, I want to see him, if it weren't for his own family, who would pay a lot of money to create this momentum!" ”
"If it weren't for his own family, who would have paid a lot of money to make this momentum, I went to ask the printing bureau, to print such a big newspaper, it would cost hundreds of taels of silver to print such a large newspaper, plus paper, ink and distribution, all add up, without two or three thousand taels of can't be beaten." Liu Jiren said with a sigh: "Uncle Shi, if you force that guy to this point, that is, Uncle Shi has this ability." ”
According to their estimates, Yu Guozhen has 120,000 taels of silver to squander, but the "People's Livelihood Express" is distributed for free, which means that the entire private newspaper is a commodity that only loses money and does not make money! Yu Guozhen sent it once, and he had to spend a lot of money, and it took a lot of money to support Qin Huai Bayan's review!
"Isn't it just a few thousand taels of silver, and we will also open the seal." Wu Sangui said with a smile: "Liu Shinephew, you help me contact a few printing bureaus, if you want to get it, you can get it, didn't he send out 30,000 copies, and we will get 50,000 copies!" ”
When he said this, he stared at Liu Jiren, and Liu Jiren nodded again and again: "What Uncle Shi said is that I will pay half of the money to be spent!" ”
"That's the work." Wu Sangui said in his mouth, but he sneered in his heart, this guy didn't know what enmity he had with Yu Guozhen, and he instigated him in every possible way to let himself fight with Yu Guozhen!
Liu Jiren took his people out to run errands, and Wu Sangui said to his side: "This Liu Gongzi is warm-hearted, and the little general is thanks to his help this time." ”
"What a warm-hearted, want to borrow a knife to kill someone." Wu Sangui saw that the left and right were full of his henchmen, and said in a low voice: "I didn't know that Yu, it wasn't that he pointed out to me above the restaurant, and he instigated in every way, saying that this surnamed Yu didn't take our Guanning Tieqi in his eyes, and also said that we were insiders in the civil war and outsiders in the war, and we had nothing to do except waste the country's food and people's fat and people's cream......"
If Yu Guozhen heard this, he would definitely be surprised, this is indeed his opinion, with the number, equipment and combat strength of the Guanning army, if it were not for the generals who were experts in the civil war and outsiders in the war, how could this strong army, which originally had Qi Jiguang as the foundation, degenerate into what it is today!
In order to cover up their incompetence in losing land and losing battles year after year, they also echoed with the Tartars and made up nonsense that the Jurchens were dissatisfied with all invincibility. A regular army armed with firearms to the teeth, with numerous artillery pieces and fortified cities, could not defeat a group of barbarians who could only dig holes in the ground with bows and arrows and sleep with pigs, this is not incompetence or anything!
When failure becomes commonplace, then the loser has no shame at all, and now Guan Ningjun is in such a state.
"This guy is really annoying!" Hearing Wu Sangui say this, the cronies who followed him were angry: "Little general, choose an opportunity to chop this guy!" ”
"This place is the capital of Liu, in broad daylight, it is easy to kill him, but it is not easy to deal with the aftermath, you can't provoke impeachment for the boss for such a fool, some people in the court look at us unpleasantly, but it's not one or two!" Wu Sangui shook his head: "Besides, Liu Jiren's house is also annoying, their Liu family's nest is in Caozhou, but there are such a large number of people in Nanjing City, he relayed Yu Guozhen's words, whether it is true or not, it is rare to provoke suspicion." If I really stupidly went to find Yu Guozhen's trouble, wouldn't it be his intention! ”
"The little general is wise!" There was a sudden rush of words around: "That is, the little general, if you can play with those two people between applause, it's best to let the two of them fight by themselves, let's watch the excitement from the sidelines." ”
"Don't be idle these days, just rely on Liu Jiren's guy to deliver the news, after all, it's not reliable, who knows what he's hiding." Wu Sangui said: "Now that he has gone to find the printing bureau, let's just go to see what kind of ball market Yu Guozhen is talking about in this "People's Livelihood Express"! ”
These few people stayed in the apartment, and they were already extremely suffocated, and when they heard Wu Sangui say this, they all cheered. They naturally have tall horses, along the Qinhuai River, across the Wuding Bridge, the old courtyard, the banknote street, this area was originally a bustling place for the memory of the family, they came out in the afternoon, but there were not many people along the way, when they came to the "People's Livelihood Express" said that the ball market, only then did they find that those people actually arrived here.
This ball market is separated by a wooden fence, separated by more than ten entrances and exits, each entrance and exit are guarded, which entrance and which exit are in order. Seeing this scene, Wu Sangui's heart moved, such strict rules are really the law of the military formation. It seems that Yu Youhu broke into such a big name, and it seems that it is not entirely a fluke.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the people around him: "In the "People's Livelihood Express", this ball game is boasted to the sky, but it is rare and lively, let's not rush to visit Yu Youhu, watch a ball game first." ”
He looked sideways and saw two men wearing square scarves, and judging by their age, they were also young people under thirty.
