On the other side, what Zhu Changyuan said was reasonable, and Wu Sangui couldn't help frowning. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There is money, not to mention a mere 100,000 taels of silver, even 300,000 taels, but you can't just give it like that. You must know that the silver that Zhu Changyuan asked for was enough for three months' military salaries for all soldiers in Jinzhou.

After thinking about it for a while, Wu Sangui had a broken jar and a broken expression, spread his hands like a scoundrel, and said: "These accounts of the adults will be recognized on behalf of the imperial court, but unfortunately there is no money now, so I can't give it." After speaking, he shouted to the soldiers on the side: "Go, take a thousand taels of silver." ”

The soldiers were ordered to go.

"What do you mean, General? A thousand taels of silver want to send me away? Zhu Changyuan pretended to be angry and jumped down from the chair: "At the beginning, those military salaries were all paid in advance by myself. Adults also know that without money, these soldiers will not fight honestly and obediently, let alone give their lives. ”

"Of course I know that." Wu Sangui waved his hand: "There is no money, the nine thousand taels of silver that the general paid in advance will be remembered, and he will return it one day, as for the 90,000 taels of silver, you don't have to worry about it, I will report to the court and let them find a way to pay for it." ”

Wu Sangui's hand is very beautiful, and he pushes things clean in one sentence, right? That's a matter for the court, don't look for me; Military salary, yes, I don't have it now, I'll give it to you when I have it!

After a while, the soldier came running again, dragging a tray in his hand, which was covered with a red cloth and could not see what was inside.

"Could it be that there are 1,000 taels of silver here, and 1,000 taels is almost more than 100 catties, that's all?" Zhu Changyuan was slightly surprised in his heart, seeing Wu Sangui easily take the tray and uncover the red cloth on it, there was a piece of paper on it.

Silver Ticket!

"My lord, when you led 400 soldiers to sea, the salary for March was almost 1,000 taels of silver. This is a thousand taels of silver tickets, you take it first. Wu Sangui gently put the silver ticket on the table in front of Zhu Changyuan, and continued: "As for the other soldiers you recruited, since they have not been compiled by Liaodong, I naturally will not easily admit it. ”

Zhu Changyuan originally didn't plan to get much silver from Wu Sangui, coming to ask for debts was just disgusting him, but now since he can only get a thousand taels, it is better than nothing.

Unceremoniously put away the silver ticket, arched his hand towards Wu Sangui with a smile on his face, and said: "Since I entered the army, thanks to the general's care one after another, the villain is here to thank the general first, and he will report back in the future!" ”

Zhu Changyuan spoke, and there was something in his words.

Wu Sangui is a smart person, so he can naturally hear that what he takes care of one after another is nothing more than a dislike between the two.

However, Wu Sangui didn't take it to heart, one is that Zhu Changyuan is weak now, and it is not easy to move a dignified Liaodong chief military officer. Second, he knew in his heart that the Ming Dynasty clan could not be an official in the court according to reason, and even if the court gave him grace this time, Zhu Changyuan would not be able to be reused.

Moreover, there was already a high-ranking minister in the DPRK and China who assured him that Zhu Changyuan could not be reused.

Wu Sangui has thick eyebrows and square face, and he is a few years older than Zhu Changyu, but he has been in the officialdom for a long time, secretly snorted coldly, and said to Zhu Changyuan: "Then I wish you a high rise and a steady rise in the future, otherwise you may not have any chance of retribution!" ”

He has become the chief military officer of Liaodong, and there are really not many people in the entire Ming Empire who can force him.

"Haha." Do you still need to be a big official to deal with you, Lao Tzu has nineteen ways, nineteen ways!

Zhu Changyuan smiled on the surface, patted the hand holding the silver ticket, and said, "I'll accept this thousand taels of silver first, and since you don't admit it, I can't help it, let's go!" ”

patted his ass and rode out of the gate of Jinzhou with the captive.

"He's gone?" Wu Sangui asked the soldiers around him.

The soldiers bowed and said, "Go back to the general, let's go, but not to the west, but to the northeast!" ”

"Northeast?" Wu Sangui was taken aback, to the east is the territory of Jianyu, and to the north is the territory of the Mongolian Tatars, didn't this kid go back to Beijing to take up his post, and what did he do over there when he was full?

"Do you want to send someone to watch?" The pro-soldier asked.

Wu Sangui shook his head, "No, the top priority at the moment is Ying Long's situation on Phi Dao." Is there any news from Yang Wenyue's side? ”

The soldier said: "There is news from Lord Yang's side, saying that there are thieves in Shandong this year, and I am afraid it will be difficult to provide large-scale support." Lord Yang's meaning is still based on guerrilla and harassment! ”

"What? Guerrilla, harassment? Wu Sangui slapped the table, "Huang Taiji has done his best to be a sailor, what is the use of expecting him to be guerrilla harassment." Forget it, let's send our supplies over first. ”

"Yes!"

+++++++++++

As Wu Sangui heard, after Zhu Changyuan left Jinzhou, he did not go all the way west to Beijing to take up his post, but rode his horse to the east, and then turned north, all the way to the northeast of Jinzhou.

It's not that he got lost, it's not that he's stupid, the reason why he abandoned the ship and landed instead of taking a shortcut to Tianjin Wei ran to the northeast, naturally it wasn't to ask Wu Sangui for a little silver.

On this trip, Zhu Changyuan has another destination: Fuxin.

I'm sorry, Fuxin is the name of this city in modern society, far away in the parallel world of the Ming Dynasty, Fuxin did not exist, this place was originally an ordinary mountain.

The reason why I came here is because there is a huge treasure to attract. In modern society, Zhu Changyuan knew that there was a large open-pit coal mine in Fuxin, and this time he passed by Jinzhou and happened to go to investigate.

In order to develop and establish a modern society in the future, energy must be paid attention to, and among all the available energy sources, open-pit coal mines are the most direct to use.

There is a mine in Fuxin, and it is an open-pit coal mine.

Even if there is no such thing as a thermal power station, coal mines are undoubtedly very important to Zhu Changyuan. In particular, this open-pit coal mine, 200 miles northeast of Jinzhou, is the closest resource bank to Riyue Island.

In the parallel world, the Fuxin area has not yet been established as a city, and it is still a mountainous place. Zhu Changyuan drove the carriage from Jinzhou and traveled eastward, and it didn't take long to arrive at the Dalinghe military tun that he had guarded before.

I haven't seen it for three months, and Juntun is still the same old thing, surrounded by a concrete city wall about four meters high. It's just that the city wall is bare, and the steel bars on it don't know whether they were cut off by the Qing army or the Ming army.

With some emotion, Zhu Changyuan did not stop, drove the carriage up the Daling River, turned to the northeast and continued to move forward.

Two hundred miles away, Zhu Changyuan's carriage walked for almost four days before it arrived, and this was still done day and night, day and night.

"It seems that the speed of riding a car is still too slow compared to riding a horse!" After arriving at the destination, Zhu Changyuan did not rush to find a coal mine, but first found a nearby village to live in.
