There are many beauties in Shanxi, Datong is the hometown of the famous queen, and it is even more remarkable in the Ming Dynasty, relying on the Jin merchants who are the best in the world, Shanxi is prosperous and rich, the literary style is prosperous, and the crown is gathered, which is not bad at all compared to the southeast.

Wu Kaijie and Wu Huanju were both placed in a Jin Shang courtyard, the small courtyard is not big, but it is exquisite everywhere, especially Geng Zhongming also specially selected twenty beauties to serve by his side, and in winter, one by one they are still wearing long skirts, like butterflies, flying around.

"Brother, brother!" Wu Huanju pushed violently, and Wu Kaijie finally came to his senses.

"What?"

"I said are you blinded, let's not enjoy it here, don't forget the prince's instructions, if you lose your big head for the sake of a small head, I'm sorry for the ancestor of the Wu family!"

"Small head, big head?"

Wu Kaijie hesitated slightly, then stretched out his big hand and choked his brother's neck fiercely.

"Boy, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll let you lose your big head and small head!"

"Brother, brother, let go, someone is coming!"

Wu Huanju struggled hard and shook off Wu Kaijie's hand, and at this time, a tall maid Lianbu moved lightly and approached.

"Second Elder Man, the Son of the World has come to ask to see!"

Wu Kaijie hurriedly tidied up his clothes, put on a posture that he thought was cool in front of the beauty, and went outside with Wu Huanju.

Geng Jumao, surrounded by his entourage, came to Wu Kaijie's side.

"Hahaha, Vice Chief Wu, is it quite comfortable?"

"Thank you for the hospitality, I am comfortable, I am very happy!"

Geng Jumao also laughed: "Wu Cichang, young age, brilliant wisdom, is the right-hand man of the King of Zhongshan, and will enter the phase in the future, and the future is limitless." Our father and son still have to rely on the support of the second minister! ”

"The major general is polite, there is something to talk about."

Wu Kaijie is obviously more amiable than the previous arrogance. Geng Jumao was also more and more happy, and they arrived in the main hall and sat down. The maid offered hot tea.

"Major General, how have you been busy in the past two days?"

"Vice Chief Wu, according to your plan, our father and son dispatched a large army to control all the more than 20 prefectures and counties around Taiyuan, and also contacted Liu Tichun, who was stationed in Datong. I hope to do it together. Moreover, we have reorganized the army and civilians in our hands, and have trained a total of 50 battalions and nearly 30,000 troops. Then there is the seizure of Jin merchant property, the eight imperial merchants we have grabbed five, and currently found 8 million taels of silver and 500,000 quintals of grain! Enough to support the army for three months of attrition. ”

Wu Kaijie listened. nodded: "Young General, good job, I just received information that the Manchu army has already moved to Shanxi, and I am afraid that within ten days, there will be a battle." Your first priority is to stock up on more food. Hoarding of arms. And I tell you that the wealth of the Jin merchants is far beyond your imagination. I have raided the salt merchants in Lianghuai, the ability of these merchants to hide money is a must, you are carefully investigating, just one Fan Yongdou, can't hand over 10 million taels, just pick him up and put him in the pot to squeeze oil! ”

Geng Jumao suddenly asked in shock, "Deputy Chief." Do they really have so much money? ”

"Major General, you also know about the situation of the Tartars, let me ask you that the Tartars didn't know how to smelt iron in the past, so how did the armor on their bodies, the big knives in their hands, and those red-clothed cannons come from? How many things were smuggled by Jin merchants towards the Tartars. There are not millions of taels a year, is it worth their life? After many years of accumulation, these people fart and have an oily crotch! ”

Geng Jumao's eyes lit up when he was said, and he suddenly stood up.

"Vice-Chief. I'm going to torture Fan Yongdou, if this grandson doesn't call out all the money, I'll put him in the oil pot! ”

Geng Jumao said that he was about to leave, but when he arrived at the door, he suddenly stopped his steps.

"Hey, there are big things I forgot, just now the deputy chief said, the Tartars are going to attack Shanxi, our father and son are weak, I don't know when An** will be able to drive, with An**'s support, we can have the courage to fight with the Tartars!"

Wu Kaijie secretly said in his heart: Before you die, you may not be able to see An**!

Wu Kaijie laughed: "Young General, don't worry, An ** has already taken action." And I will reveal to you another important news, this time the king of Zhongshan is going to fight against the Tartars to destroy the country, and the scale of the army is far from your imagination! ”

"Really?"

Wu Kaijie smiled and nodded: "Major General, do you know North Korea?" ”

"Of course I know, wasn't Mao Shuai's Dongjiang Town in North Korea Phi Island!"

"Well, a few days ago, a righteous people attacked Shenyang, and the shock was not small, North Korea has prepared an army of 20,000 to counterattack Liaodong and get rid of the Tatar control."

When Geng Jumao heard that there was such a thing, he also smiled and said: "The combat effectiveness of the Koreans is not very good, but if they can attack behind the Tartars, it will also be a containment." ”

"It's not just North Korea, it's also the Japanese Bandits!" Wu Kaijie pretended to be mysterious and said: "The king of Zhongshan has just contacted the Japanese shogunate and promised to hand over Ryukyu to the Japanese in exchange for them sending 30,000 troops. In this way, there are 50,000 allied troops in Korea and the Japanese Kingdom, attacking Liaodong together, the major general, the Tartars have long been empty in Liaodong, if they encounter these 50,000 troops, what will happen? ”

Wu Kaijie stood up and asked Wu Huanju to take a map and put it in front of him.

"Not only Liaodong, but also at sea, Shen Tingyang and Zheng Zhilong each commanded 30,000 naval divisions, and then attacked the coast from Shandong to Tianjin, pinned down the defenders of the Tartars, and blocked the sea routes. In Xuzhou, Marquis Huang Degong personally led an army of 50,000 to counterattack Yanzhou. As for the king of Zhongshan, he has already concentrated an army of 100,000 to attack Zhili from northern Henan, young general, look at it, such a scale, how do you say the Tartars can deal with it! ”

Wu Kaijie is half-truth, but Geng Jumao is not clear about the situation, he counted on his fingers, if it is really according to what Wu Kaijie said, the troops mobilized by An ** have exceeded 300,000. Sea 6 at the same time, if you can really put it in place together, if you want to destroy the country, it may not be impossible!

"Vice Chief Wu, this, is this true?"

Wu Kaijie said proudly: "Of course it's true, it's just that the original plan was to be implemented in the New Year, and now your father and son are in advance, and the whole plan is also in advance." Ten days, as long as you can hold on to Taiyuan for ten days, the security ** army will inevitably come! ”

"Ten days, ten days!"

"What, doesn't the major general have confidence?"

Geng Jumao hurriedly patted his chest and said with a smile: "It's only ten days." Tartar doesn't want to break through Taiyuan, but I just don't know if An ** can ...... as scheduled"

Wu Kaijie nodded: "Young General, in all fairness, time is indeed a bit tight, and the difficulties are not small. ”

"Is it food, or ordnance?"

"Neither." Wu Kaijie smiled: "It's mainly the people's husband." King Zhongshan promulgated a policy of recuperation with the people, and it was necessary to spend money to recruit the people. Now the autumn grain is still being collected, and the tax has not yet come up, but you can rest assured, when you came, the King of Zhongshan had already asked Governor Yan to borrow money from the major merchants, and it was guaranteed to be in place as scheduled! ”

Everyone has a habit. Things that are not good for oneself are not willing to be said. If Wu Kaijie patted his chest and guaranteed to arrive as scheduled, Geng Jumao might still have some doubts. But when it comes to financial difficulties, it makes him feel that An ** wants to play really.

"Vice Chief Wu, it's easy to be short of money, don't we have several Jin merchants in our hands, so let's start with Fan Yongdou. I immediately offered the silver that was tortured to the king of Zhongshan, and also expressed our filial piety! ”

Wu Kaijie also deliberately groaned and said: "This is not good, you are the first line of resistance to the Qing Dynasty, and the money must be used to deal with the Tartars." ”

"My second elder, they're all a family, how can they divide each other!"

"It's not good. It feels like we're taking advantage of your father and son. Major General, the silver can't be asked for in vain, let's convert it into military supplies, and I will ask Henan to send 10,000 guns, 200 cannons, and 500,000 quintals of grain. The Taiyuan is solid, and the Tartars don't want to get involved! ”

"Okay. Thank you, Vice Minister Wu. ”

Geng Jumao was overjoyed, and the girl returned to the palace and hurriedly reported to his father. Looking at his back, Wu Huanju was a little unbearable.

"Brother. Are we really good at being so tricky? As the saying goes, you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people......"

"Shut up!" Wu Kaijie sneered: "Remember that killing the wicked is a good thought, who made them so stupid, and betrayed their ancestors!" ”

After Geng Jumao went back, he hurriedly reported the situation to Geng Zhongming, the two discussed overnight, and the next day they launched an operation, tortured Fan Yongdou and more than a dozen other Jin merchants, squeezed oil from them with all their might, and took out more than half of the silver collected, and sent it to Wu Kaijie.

After tossing for three days in a row, the first batch of munitions was also delivered, 2,000 guns, 20 cannons, and 30,000 catties of gunpowder.

Geng Zhongming greeted him personally, and he secretly inspected them, although these munitions had traces of use, they were of high quality and could be called high-quality. In particular, the one who sent the military supplies also said that there were more arms in the back and that they would be delivered soon.

At this time, Geng Zhongming no longer doubted An **'s sincerity. He immediately ordered all the Tartars in Taiyuan to be beheaded, but men, women, and children, more than 3,000 people, all of whom were hung on the city wall. Geng Zhongming even asked his subordinates to cut off all the braids on their heads and shave them one by one.

The braids piled up into a hill burned, and in the firelight, Geng Zhongming patted his chest and said: "Geng is determined to raise troops to resist the Tartars, and he is bound to sprinkle his blood on the battlefield, worthy of his ancestors, worthy of all the people in the world, if he violates this oath, he should be like this!" ”

Geng Zhongming broke a bow and arrow, and then tied Fan Yongdou and others like zongzi and gave it to Wu Kaijie.

"Vice Chief Wu, these guys are heinous in crime, and they are a gift from Geng to the King of Zhongshan, and I hope that the second chief will bring them back!"

"Okay, great, General Geng, your determination can be seen clearly, after I go back, I will immediately submit a letter to the imperial court, and issue a Danshu iron coupon to General Geng, and you will not be held accountable for your past!"

"Thank you, Second Lady!"

At the end of the lively oath, Wu Kaijie left Taiyuan with more than six million taels of silver and a hundred Shanxi beauties under the eager eyes of Geng Zhongming's father and son.

On the third day after they left Taiyuan, Dolgon's vanguard came to kill, and the dog and its owner finally took a bite.
