The three phases of war bonds raised a total of 8.5 million taels of silver, plus the bonds issued by Liaodong, more than 10 million taels! Among them, the big households in Jiangnan took on as much as 5 million taels, and it was obviously very wise to give 11 families a way to live and tie them to their chariots.

This money is equivalent to the income of the Ming Dynasty for two years, which cannot but make people marvel at the abundance of private wealth. Of course, it is possible to raise so much silver, thanks to Zhang Ke's appeal. If it is changed to the imperial court, not only will you not be able to get one or two pieces of silver, but there will be many people who will lose when you buy the imperial court.

In addition, the popularity of bonds proves that the military and civilian people of the Ming Dynasty oppose peace and demand the determination to recover the lost territory. When the news reached the capital, the hundred officials were silenced together, and no one dared to mention yì and peace again.

"Well, that's great!"

Chen Minqing couldn't stop his excitement anymore, and his blood boiled.

"What is the people's heart, this is the people's heart! Our Ming army and people work together, there are elite soldiers and fierce generals, and the money, food, and military salaries are also sufficient, so there is no reason why we can't recover Liaodong. All those traitors who propose peace are soft bones, cowardly big soft eggs! ”

Zhang Guochen also said with emotion: "I really can't wait to take off this official uniform immediately, even if I go to the account of the grandfather of the country to act as a small official, conquer and kill the territory, and break my head and bleed, it is also a blessing for three lives!" ”

Hearing him say this, the others clamored one after another, rolled up their arms and sleeves, and were about to charge. Hongshiki sank his face and coughed.

"Nonsense! If you want to charge and kill the enemy, you can directly join the army, why bother to take the imperial examination again? When you become a jinshi and become an official, you should do more to live up to the expectations of your hometown fathers. ”

Zhang Guochen's face turned red, and he hurriedly bowed down and said: "What the adults have taught is that most of us are now Guanzheng Jinshi, and then there are the members of the six departments in the imperial history. People are soft-spoken, but they are really powerless! ”

Chen Minqing and others also nodded frequently, and in recent times, they have desperately written to petition, but their recital was quickly drowned out, and they could not collapse at all. If it weren't for Zhang Ke's issuance of war bonds, which made a huge movement, just the foaming stars would have been enough for them to wash their faces.

Hong Shiki looked at the big guy, and said in his heart that these boys are still hairy! But it's young people in the end. It's just that his apprentices were younger than them at the beginning, and they were still military generals, and their status was even more humble, so they could toss the ups and downs, it seems that there is still a difference between people and people!

"Although you are small, you may not be light-hearted! At present, the battle of Liaodong is imminent, and we can't help on the battlefield, but we can help Yongzhen stabilize the rear! ”

"What do you mean, sir......"

Hong Fu said with a smile: "Above the court, there are too many people with ghosts. They didn't dare to oppose attacking Jiannu on the surface, but they couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't do anything behind their backs! Therefore, we must build up public opinion, so that anyone who dares to speak out and make peace will become a rat crossing the street. Anyone who dares to do anything in secret will become a national thief! ”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked!

"What do you think we should do, sir?"

"There are three things we can do. First of all, military supplies, although Yongzhen is very well prepared, but it is inevitable that there will be shortages. Liaodong will allocate a sum of silver. Chen Minqing is in charge, helping to contact and procure, regardless of Beijing, the surrounding provinces, and even Jiangnan, you are all responsible! ”

Chen Minqing's eyes suddenly lit up, they are officials and juniors, but with silver in their hands, it is completely different! Just look at the silver face of the white flowers, and it is guaranteed that there are countless people scrambling to do things.

"Don't worry, my lord, I'll go and prepare."

"Okay, and then there are many people who have fled from Liaodong around Jingshi. The old man would visit them and encourage them to join the army, serve as a people's husband, and serve the army. We Liaodong people twist into a rope, and when we recover the lost land, we will be awarded the land and houses according to the merits, so that everyone can go home again! ”

"This is a good idea!"

Encouraging the refugees in Liaodong to help is not to care about their strength, but to create public opinion.

Go home!

Simple two words, with the most powerful appeal, will definitely be appreciated by hundreds of people, and even Shilin, let alone those in the court.

"Boss, let me go about this!" Zhang Guochen took the initiative to ask for help, and said: "The refugees from Liaodong are scattered everywhere, and the places where they live are filthy. ”

"Hehe, the old man's body and bones have nothing to do, and besides, I feel that I owe too much to these villagers, and I should go to visit. As for Ruqing, there is a big matter to be handed over to you. ”

"Please give me orders!" Zhang Guochen hurriedly said.

"The old man heard that you are brilliant in writing, and you have written a script in the past?"

Zhang Guochen's face turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "They are all young and poor, and they have to exchange some silver to maintain their families, which is really insulting!" ”

"Don't steal, don't rob, earn money with your ability, what's the shame! The old man wants to use your ability to write a lot of scripts for me, rehearse operas, and play the suffering of the people in Liaodong over the years, and the heroic and good battles of the Yizhou soldiers. ”

looked at Zhang Guochen and was slightly stunned, as if he was a little reluctant.

Hong Fuyi suddenly said meaningfully: "Ruqing, we are not doing this to boast, but to let the people know the situation in Liaodong and win the hearts of the people." Don't forget, in this war of liberation, the imperial court has not made a decree until now. If there is no public opinion support, Yongzhen and them will be alone! ”

When Zhang Guochen heard this, he was shocked, hurriedly gave a deep salute, and said ashamedly: "It's all students who are ignorant, please rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter!" ”

……

At the beginning of April, it was warm and cold, and a dragon galloped from afar, the yellow sand in the sky, the banner stood in the wind, and the hunting sounded.

"Hahaha, virtuous nephew, Yongzhen! Lao He is here! ”

He Shixian urged the black horse to sit down, and galloped to the gate of the city. Zhang Ke has been waiting here for a long time, followed by many civil and military forces in Yizhou.

"The uncle's army is coming, and the little nephew is grateful!"

"You're welcome, how can I miss the good thing of killing the Tartars!" He Shixian jumped off the war horse and had a bear hug with Zhang Ke.

"I heard that Brother Haichuan is still alive? Where is he? ”

"My father ran to the back of Jiannu and made a big fuss about the Heavenly Palace!" Zhang Ke said with a smile: "This winter alone, more than 5,000 Jiannu died at his hands!" ”

"Hahaha, I knew that Brother Haichuan couldn't die, when he was in the war, he was the most ghostly, we fought to the death, he was injured, he didn't even hurt a single hair!"

As he spoke, He An squeezed over from behind and raised his right arm to his father.

"Salute!"

He Shixian looked at his son and smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, I understand the rules, I practice well!" ”

"Dad, not only do you understand the rules, but you also have a long ability, this big battle, I guarantee to kill more Tartars than you!"

"Say you're fat, you're still panting!" He Shixian unceremoniously gave his son a chestnut.

"Uncle, let's get into the city."

"Well, by the way, Yongzhen, how many people have come?"

Zhang Ke smiled slightly: "There are almost 50,000, this battle must destroy Jiannu!" (To be continued......)
