Zheng Xinguo looked at Lin Xishan and said fiercely: "Jian Chu, you immediately ordered the soldiers to go to the city and prepare for battle. And you take some people to the city and search for me. Among the soldiers my father recruited were quite a few locals. I believe that many soldiers were reluctant to shave their hair and defect to the Manchus, and many of them must have fled home. Go and get them all back for me. Those who do not obey the order will be killed directly. Family property confiscated, land confiscated, and family members incorporated into artisan households! ”

In ancient times, the people valued land and their families the most, and when they heard that they were going to confiscate the land and let their families be incorporated into artisan households. Those who are soldiers must be afraid and obey orders!

When Lin Xishan heard this, he hurriedly shouted: "Yes, general!" ”

Zheng Youde heard that the eldest prince was not ready to run away and wanted to stick to Anping, so he hurriedly said: "The eldest prince ......"

"Uncle Zheng, needless to say. I will not leave the people of Anping behind! ”

Zheng Xinguo said very firmly, but he scolded in his heart: Nima, you think I don't want to run away! Lao Tzu, this can't be helped. The thief will not give him a way to live, and the Manchus will not give him a way to live. Lao Tzu can only fight to the death to find a bloody way!

Seeing Lin Xishan go out, Zheng Xinguo thought that now relying on military orders alone, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make those soldiers sell their lives. To keep the peace, it seems that we have to think of other ways!

In order to survive, Zheng Xinguo is desperately using his brains.

During this period, the Manchu Tartars were like little devils, slaughtering cities and destroying villages at every turn. The Ten Days of Yangzhou, the Three Massacres of Jiading, etc., were all sins created during this period.

Words to defend one's homeland and family can be used to motivate soldiers and strengthen their will to defend them.

Then take out the silver to reward them, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to smash down, I believe that even a group of sheep will become tigers!

Zheng Sen may lack anything, but he is not short of silver.

In 1633, Zheng Zhilong defeated the fleet of the Dutch East India Company in the Battle of Kinmen off the coast of Fujian, and became the maritime hegemon of the East China Sea. He made full use of his power and financial resources to expand maritime trade, and almost monopolized China's trade with overseas countries. At the same time, he collected the berthing fees of merchant ships from various countries, and Zheng Zhilong quickly became rich and became wealthy, with an annual income of tens of millions of silver.

Now that Zheng Zhilong has been held hostage, most of his money is still left in the treasury of the Zheng Mansion.

Zheng Xinguo walked out of the room, went to the barracks to extract more than 200 of the most loyal soldiers, and took them to break into the inner treasury of the Zheng Mansion.

The inner library is the important place of the Zheng family, and it is strictly guarded by Zheng Zhilong's personal entourage.

If an ordinary person dared to trespass into the inner library courtyard without getting Zheng Zhilong's warrant, he would be immediately killed on the spot by those guards.

The guards of the inner library saw the eldest prince Zheng Xinguo walking into the courtyard of the inner library with a group of soldiers, and they did not dare to stop it.

Zheng Shi, the leader of the treasury, heard the report from his subordinates that the eldest prince and his soldiers broke into the inner treasury of the Zheng family, so he hurriedly ran over.

Zheng Shi blocked Zheng Xinguo at the door of the warehouse, and hurriedly asked, "Eldest son, what are you doing in the warehouse?" The treasury is messy, and if the eldest prince wants to find something, he can just hand it over to the lowly position. The humble post will definitely help you find it, and then send someone to send it to the eldest prince after you find it, how about it! ”

Zheng Shi had followed Zheng Zhilong to beat Li Xiang and beat Yangfan's own soldiers, but later he was injured, so Zheng Zhilong sent people to guard the important place of the inner library.

For him, Zheng Xinguo didn't care about being rude.

Zheng Xinguo said: "Uncle Zheng came just in time, give me the key to the treasury, I was about to go in and get some silver taels." You also know that the Qing army is coming over, and without food, it is difficult for the soldiers to sell their lives! ”

Zheng Shi was embarrassed and said: "This, no one can move the treasury without the master's warrant." Don't embarrass us, son! ”

Zheng Xinguo glared at Zheng Shi and said sharply: "Now that my father is held hostage by the Manchu Qing, can't I, the son of the Zheng family, be in charge of the Zheng family's treasury!" Zheng Shi, do you want to rebel! ”

Looking at Zheng Xinguo's cold eyes, Zheng Shi knew that if he stopped it again, his life might not be guaranteed.

Zheng Sen is the eldest son of the Zheng family, and when the master is gone, he is the reasonable heir of the Zheng family. Not to mention the things in the treasury, all the things and servants in the entire Zheng Mansion are now Zheng Sen's.

Thinking of this, Zheng Shi hurriedly explained: "The little one definitely doesn't mean that, the eldest prince must believe in the humble position." Humble and go get the key. ”

Zheng Shi opened the warehouse door, and Zheng Xinguo walked into the warehouse.

His eyes were dizzy from the light reflected off the metal.

On the wooden shelves of the storeroom are neatly placed thousands of silver lakes, as well as countless treasures.

Under the light of the fire, the light of gold and silver is reflected, dazzling people's eyes.

Zheng Xinguo, who had never seen a big scene in his previous life, suddenly saw so much gold and silver excited that the cerebral blood supply was insufficient and he was short of oxygen!

These are all Lao Tzu's, they are all Lao Tzu's!

Lao Tzu is now a local tyrant!

Don't say anything, the house now Lao Tzu wants a villa. No loan, just pay it off in full at once.

Cars, Lao Tzu wants the most expensive, and he has to buy ten at a time!

Thinking of the house and car, Zheng Xinguo's excited mood suddenly cooled.

Looking at the gold and silver, Zheng Xinguo sighed, how good it would be if modern times had these. It's a pity that it's the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the Tartars are about to attack.

If you can't keep it, no matter how much gold and silver you have, it will still be someone else's after all.

Historically, the Manchu Qing Dynasty hijacked Zheng Zhilong, and when Zheng Chenggong was away, they attacked Anping and robbed Zheng Zhilong of all the property he had accumulated.

As a result, when Zheng Chenggong raised his troops, the soldiers and warships were unprepared, and they were developed with the help of his uncle Zheng Hongda.

Now that Lao Tzu has crossed over, he will never let such a thing happen again!

Zheng Xinguo called dozens of soldiers to come in and carry away ten boxes full of silver, about 100,000 taels of silver. Zheng Xinguo closed the treasury and left behind a hundred of his own soldiers.

With so much gold and silver, it is difficult to guarantee that the original guards will not have any dissent after Zheng Zhilong is placed under house arrest.

Having their own soldiers and guards supervising each other should keep the storehouse safe for a while. Wait for Anping to defend it, and then do further processing yourself!

Carrying the silver onto the wall of Anping.

Lin Xishan was already waiting over there, and when he saw Zheng Xinguo hurriedly running over, he clenched his fists and said, "Metropolitan Governor, the last general has already captured all the soldiers who escaped from Anping, there are more than 2,100 people in total. ”

When Zheng Xinguo heard it, he drank: "Okay! Well done, I'll reward you again after this battle! ”

Lin Xishan hurriedly said: "Thank you for the Metropolitan Governor, the last general will definitely serve the Metropolitan Governor wholeheartedly!" ”

Zheng Xinguo nodded and said, "Let those soldiers come over, General Ben has something to say!" ”

"Yes!"

After the three-way drum was beaten, the soldiers gathered under the city walls.

Zheng Xinguo stood on the city wall and looked at these soldiers, and shouted loudly: "The news that the Tartars are about to attack our Anping, I guess you have also heard about it. If you are willing to have your land taken away from you, your possessions usurped by them, and your children humiliated by them. Then you can escape as soon as possible, and I will not stop you! ……”

Zheng Xinguo's taste was dry, and the soldiers under the city, you see, are numb and at a loss.

Lin Xishan saw that he was busy and shouted loudly: "Swear to defend Anping and protect your family to the death!" ”

The commanders all shouted, and these soldiers shouted along, but they didn't have the momentum of swearing to defend to the death as Zheng Xinguo imagined.

Zheng Xinguo was a little disappointed, didn't those seniors shout a few words to protect the family and defend the country like this, and his subordinates suddenly became imposing, and followed the protagonist to life and death. Why did Lao Tzu encourage everyone, just this virtue?

Is Lao Tzu Wang not angry enough, or is the method wrong!

Fortunately, Lao Tzu still has a record. Otherwise, it's really hitting the street!

Zheng Xinguo took out the Longquan sword, cut the copper lock of the box next to him with a sword, and then kicked the box over.

Immediately the silver rumbled out and sprinkled all over the ground.

Looking at the silver, the soldiers who were originally wooden suddenly had their eyes shining, and they couldn't wait to snatch all the silver.

They dared to step forward, and the soldiers who had been instructed by Zheng Xinguo on the side hurriedly pointed iron guns at them, and drank: "Stand back!" Back off! ”

Zheng Xinguo shouted: "Silver, Lao Tzu has it." Who wants! ”

The soldiers under the city immediately replied loudly: "Me! I! I! ……”

At the same time, his hands were held high, for fear that most of the governors would not see them.

Zheng Xinguo looked around for a moment and continued: "Lao Tzu's silver is not so easy to take, if you want to take the silver, you will risk your life. As long as those who are willing to stay and defend the city, they will immediately pay ten taels of silver for settling-in. Kill an enemy and get a reward of five taels. Cash in now, never in arrears! ”

After speaking, Zheng Xinguo cut off the other boxes and scattered silver all over the ground.

Looking at so much silver, a bold one suddenly shouted: "Oh, people die and birds are facing the sky, and they will not die for thousands of years." The big governor, the small one is willing to stay and defend the city. ”

Zheng Xinguo heard it and shouted: "Okay, let him come up and get the silver!" ”

The soldiers tore open a gap and let the guy go to town.

Zheng Xinguo saw that the person who walked up was quite sturdy, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The man hurriedly replied: "The little one is called Zhang Dashan!" ”

"Good name! Come, take your money. Ten taels, two pure gold, no fraud! ”

Zhang Dashan took the silver and said happily: "Thank you Dadudu! Lao Tzu must do his best to guard Anping! ”

When Zheng Xinguo heard this, he smiled and said, "Not only do you have to protect it wholeheartedly, but you also have to kill a few more Tartars." Rest assured, there is a lot of silver. As long as you have the ability, just take it! ”

When Zhang Dashan heard this, he immediately looked at the silver greedily, swallowed a mouthful of water and said: "Don't worry, as long as there is a reward, Lao Tzu will die and pull a few cushions!" ”

When the city saw that the Metropolitan Governor had really issued money, they immediately shouted: "The Metropolitan Governor, the small ones are also willing to stay and defend the city." Small ......"

Zheng Xinguo was somewhat happy to see that these soldiers finally had that kind of momentum.

Under the heavy reward, you should be able to keep the peace!

The Ming Dynasty's long-standing policy of emphasizing literature over military force, coupled with the oppression and exploitation of those corrupt officials, made the Ming soldiers have already lost the shame of the soldiers.

Now they can only use silver to promote their obligations as soldiers, and as for the military spirit and military spirit that a qualified soldier should have, they can only be slowly cultivated in the future.
