It is reported that when Wu Sangui was repairing the Jade Emperor Pavilion in Kunming, he unexpectedly obtained more than 500,000 taels of cellar gold. The old palace collapsed, he donated money to rebuild, and when he moved the throne, he received more than 100,000 taels of cellar gold. In other places, due to the construction of civil engineering, 100,000 taels of gold have been found many times.

These huge gold and silver wealth were probably hidden by Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, and Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo, when the Yongli regime stayed in Kunming.

But the appearance of Zhu Yongxing did not give Wu Sangui a chance to be the king of Yunnan, and the war continued, so naturally there was no time to build a large number of buildings, and he was arrogant and lascivious. As a result, this huge wealth fell into Zhu Yongxing's pocket, which was also something he had been thinking about for a long time.

Jade Emperor Pavilion, Laojun Palace, these are the two places where he knows the Tao. And the location of the other three hundred thousand taels of gold was told to him by Li Dingguo. It is to untie the knot and announce the effect; It is to use the money to marry Zhu Yongxing and reserve a way for Yongli and others to survive in the future. Zhu Yongxing was quite satisfied with the results of Li Dingguo's inspection, not to mention that Li Dingguo also returned Huang Yue.

returned Huang Yue and led troops into Sichuan, indicating that Li Dingguo was no longer able to compete with Zhu Yongxing, and also said that Li Dingguo chose to believe Zhu Yongxing's words and no longer thought of Yongli and stayed in Yunnan Province for a long time. Of course, if Zhu Yongxing uses bloody means to seize power and usurp the throne. It is too early to say what kind of reaction Li Dingguo will have, or how Zhu Yongxing will deal with him.

"As long as you fight against the Qing army under the banner of Huangming, as long as it does not disturb or harm the people, it is a camp and your own people." Zhu Yongxing sent Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, to lead his army out of the city. I didn't forget to earnestly instruct, "Xiying, breaking into the camp, is already history, and now it is all the Ming army, I don't have the heart to favor each other, I just hope to prosper with you and enjoy peace and happiness together." I hope that King Jin can also accept all rivers and rivers and completely abandon the view of the portal. ”

"Your Highness, please rest assured. I know what happened in the past, and if I know the thirteen honors, I will treat each other with sincerity and courtesy. Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, did not dislike Zhu Yongxing's old words, and the two whispered side by side, which showed Zhu Yongxing's importance and the release of his previous suspicions.

"Sichuan Province withered, if you want to take Chongqing, out of Hanzhong. Raid Shaanxi and Luo, and threaten the Beijing Division. It is necessary to ensure that the grain routes are unblocked. Zhu Yongxing continued: "At least for two years, it will be impossible to use Shu grain to feed the soldiers. I have issued an order to relocate the people and fill the river, and try to speed up this process. Therefore, it is advisable to advance steadily in Sichuan, and not to attack for a long time. Well. Therefore, the strategy of the king of Shu to manage Sichuan should be advisable. ”

Sichuan has experienced repeated wars and people's livelihood, and the Chengdu Plain was once fertile for thousands of miles, but now it is uninhabited. Social production has come to an almost complete standstill, and the area around Chongqing is roughly similar. A vast no-man's land had long been formed between the Baoning area in northern Sichuan under the control of the Qing army and the southern and eastern Sichuan regions controlled by the Ming army, and the problem of food and salary could not be solved, and it was difficult for both sides to advance.

It was precisely because of the difficulty of food and salary that in the ninth year of Shunzhi, Wu Sangui and Li Guohan's troops not only did not take advantage of the victory to go south after defeating Liu Wenxiu's army in the Battle of Baoning, but only left Li Guoying, the governor of Sichuan, to stay in Baoning, and the whole army returned to Hanzhong, Shaanxi to get food.

Although Zhu Yongxing and the General Staff Headquarters decided to relocate the people to fill in the Sichuan, collect the Chengdu Plain to reclaim the barren tuntian, and use Shu grain to feed the Shu soldiers, in addition to needing sufficient troops to ensure local stability, it was also necessary to invest a large amount of grain, seeds, ploughing cattle, and farm tools as the foundation of the tuntian. Without such troops and financial resources, it is tantamount to painting bread to satisfy hunger.

"The difficulty of running Sichuan is not in the front, but in the rear." Li Dingguo laughed, looked directly at Zhu Yongxing, and said, "This all depends on the power of His Highness!" ”

Zhu Yongxing couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, the joy of getting a huge fortune just now has diluted a little, money and food, the need to fight a war, the need to run a place, it is really difficult to move an inch without money and food!

"Wu Sangui is also short of money, well, as long as the transaction is opened, the money and grain problem can still be solved." Zhu Yongxing seemed to be stubborn, and seemed to comfort himself, "The King of Jin only cares about fighting and protecting the place, and the logistics will be handed over to me!" ”

"I will order the soldiers to cultivate the fields and try to share the worries of His Highness." Li Dingguo knew that Zhu Yongxing wanted to support the bigger and bigger stalls, which was more brain-consuming than simply fighting.

"King Jin, don't worry, I will have a way." After Zhu Yongxing's slight unhappiness, he straightened up again and regained his self-confidence.

"Your Highness, take care, I'll go." Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, said no more, beckoned his soldiers to lead the horse, and bowed to Zhu Yongxing to say goodbye.

"King Jin also take care." Zhu Yongxing nodded hexidi, and watched Li Dingguo get on the horse and go away.

Money may or may not be a problem. All kinds of operations have been rolled out, and with the stimulus of coastal relocation, the benefits will only increase. Moreover, the nearly two million silver in hand is enough to support it for a while.

"Tomorrow I will send someone to escort the silver to the mint, and start making it like this!" Zhu Yongxing shook a few silver coins in his hand, made a rattling sound, and then handed them to the officials of the Ministry of Finance.

The forging machine for both water and animal power has been installed and commissioned, and the pattern has long been determined, but the silver is earned and spent, the output is not large, and it has not been publicly issued. Now that I have the raw materials in my hands, it can be regarded as a matter of course to issue them in the name of recovering Kunming.

In addition to the design and denomination, the only inscription on the silver coin is 1661 AD. This is because these silver coins will not only be circulated in the occupied areas, but will also be used to buy smuggled goods in the interior, and it will be inconvenient to engrave the name of the eternal calendar or sensitive words. The abolition of the two yuan and the mechanism of coins, both economically and technically, is a huge progress.

"Your Highness, are all this silver made into silver coins?" The finance official was a little unsure, so he bent down and asked again.

"All. In the future, all local funds, military salaries, salaries, and government expenses will be exchanged for silver coins and distributed. Zhu Yongxing didn't think much about it. In the future, it will be the world of silver coins, and the scattered silver of the people will continue to be recycled and turned into silver coins into circulation, thus completely replacing silver.

The official asked no more questions and took the order. Zhu Yongxing had not told the finance department about this before, because he was not very sure about the cellar gold. But. Although Zhu Yongxing strives to create an atmosphere of collective deliberation and decision-making, the long-term concept of hierarchy and inferiority makes it so that once he opens his mouth to determine something, his subordinates will unconditionally implement it. Of course, there is also the admiration and trust that has been formed for a long time in him.

As soon as Shunzhi died, the Qing court would inevitably experience a period of readjustment, and it would be a few years before Ao Bai monopolized power. The main Shaoguo is suspicious, and the bureaucrats of all factions will reshuffle their cards at least within half a year. It was difficult for the Qing court to use troops on a large scale.

Zheng Chenggong focused on recovering Taiwan, and the containment of the Qing army in the southeast would be weak, and the rise of the southwest made Zheng Chenggong afraid and wary, and the possibility of joint operations between the two armies was already very small.

In the end, you still have to rely on your own strength! Zhu Yongxing sighed helplessly, glanced at the mountains of silver, shook his head, and turned to leave. He will be rich all over the world. In his eyes, mountains of gold and silver are also ordinary.

Zhu Yongxing's mansion is in the city of Kunming. It is the former residence of Liu Wenxiu, the former king of Shu in the Southern Ming Dynasty. There are several courtyards, and there is a garden that is not big or small, plus a small pond. Wu Sangui thought that the living room was small, so he had to live in the Wuhua Mountain Forbidden City, but Zhu Yongxing felt that it was very suitable here. Although the Wuhua Mountain Forbidden City is bold enough. It's gorgeous enough, but he doesn't have that much spare money for how many maids he needs.

It's time to dig out the pond, raise some fish, and play with the Dream Beads and Dragons on the winding corridor. It's a pleasure, too; The flowers and trees in the garden should also be cleaned up by a gardener, and some peacocks or other small animals, Mengzhu and Long Er have always thought so; This piece is made into a lawn, which is soft and soft, and the little doll does not have to worry about falling when playing on it......

Thinking of the little doll, Zhu Yongxing couldn't help but purse the corners of his mouth. Mengzhu and Long'er are slowly driving down the road in a car, and they will arrive in Kunming in two days. Whenever I caress my wife's bulging belly, feel the throbbing of my little life, and meet Mengzhu's satisfied and pleasant gaze, that sense of happiness permeates my whole body.

The weather was good, Zhu Yongxing looked up at the endless blue above his head, and after exhaling a long breath of satisfaction, he suddenly remembered something.

"Tomorrow, take off the heads hanging on the city gate and give them to the prisoners anyway, let them bury Daniel Zhang!" Turning around, Zhu Yongxing instructed Yang Guoxiang.

For Daniel Zhang, a traitor and scum who did not know the righteousness of the nation and the country, Zhu Yongxing did not even see it, so he ordered someone to behead him and show it to the public. Just because he was dying and struggling, he intended to set fire to the city of Kunming and destroy it, and he deserved it. And Mengzhu will soon come to Kunming, and the city gate will hang a person's head, don't scare pregnant women.

……………

The weather was good, and Guangxi General Sun Yanling looked up at the sky, but his mood was not comfortable.

He was originally a nobody under Kong Youde, the king of Dingnan, and was later appreciated by Kong Youde, constantly promoted, and married his only daughter Kong Sizhen to him. This is like climbing the dragon gate, and it is not what it used to be!

After Kong Youde's death, the Qing court, in order to commemorate his exploits, specially ordered Sun Yanling to be the "general of Guangxi" and "in charge of the royal banner" and stationed in Guilin. However, Sun Yanling came from a humble background, and his talent was "mediocre", "his age is light, and his position is not heavy", which was despised by the government and the opposition, and even his subordinate officials were "unwilling to submit". It was in such a situation that Sun Yanling reluctantly sent troops from Guilin, and together with Ma Xiong, the governor of Guangxi stationed in Liuzhou, to resist the Ming army killed by Annan.

The troops led by Sun Yanling and Ma Xiong did not have an advantage, but they all wanted to preserve their strength, and they were unwilling to fight hard, and it was naturally difficult to make progress in the face of the Ming army's reliance on danger. But the two had an excuse to constantly urge the Qing court for food and wages, and sent their henchmen and cronies to recruit troops in Guilin and Liuzhou to expand their respective strengths.

Wu Sangui in Yunnan Province was defeated and retreated one after another, which inevitably aroused the suspicion of Sun Yanling and Ma Xiong, and when Wu Sangui's fake letter broke out, the two were even more suspicious and hesitant. Wu Sangui's whole army retreated to Guizhou, and the news of the Ming army's recovery of Kunming and Qujing came, and the two finally came to their senses.

Since Wu Sangui is unwilling to fight to the death with the Ming army in order to preserve his strength, and the strength of the two is not as good as Wu Sangui, why bother to be stupid? There was a heart of retreat, but the two were wary of each other, not daring to speak out, and even more afraid that one party would suddenly run away, leaving themselves alone to face the enemy.

Although the big battles were temporarily suspended, the Ming army's small-scale sorties were frequent. From these small battles, which were obviously of a training nature, Sun Yanling and Ma Xiong both found that the enemy's combat strength and equipment were constantly improving, which cast an ominous shadow on their hearts.

Sun Yanling and Ma Xiong were not very clear about the internal operation of the Ming Court in the southwest, and they did not understand how there could be so much money and food in a corner of the land, which could not only expand the army and support the war, but also the equipment was getting better and better.

A sound of footsteps sounded, interrupting Sun Yanling's thoughts, turning his head slightly, and finding that it was his confidant Meng Chundi who hurried over.

"Mr. Meng, what's the alarm?" Sun Yanling has always relied on this old staff member and spoke very politely.

Meng Chundi stood still, took a few breaths, and said, "General, the military situation has changed, you have to plan early!" ”

"Don't rush, don't rush, take your time." Sun Yanling comforted on his lips, but he was shocked in his heart, and he didn't know what was going on.

"The Ming army went out of Tianzhou (now Baise), wanted to attack Qingyuan Mansion (now Hechi), and then ......"

Sun Yanling was taken aback, if Tianzhou and Qingyuan Mansion were lost, the Ming army could attack the important town of Liuzhou in the east, or go south to Nanning, forming a flanking attack with the Ming army in front of him.

"It's all Wu Sangui." Meng Chundi gritted his teeth and scolded: "By retreating without a fight, the Ming army in Yunnan Province can free up its hands and transfer troops to attack Guangxi." ”

"What can I do now?" Sun Yanling didn't have any talent, just a good look, and he was appreciated by Kong Youde, and he was valuable because of his daughter, and when he heard the news, he couldn't help but feel panicked.

Meng Chundi sighed secretly in his heart, but he was already a member of Sun Yanling's camp, and he could only try his best to assist, he groaned slightly, and said: "Most of the main force of our army is here, and the hinterland defense is empty, if you don't transfer troops and reinforcements, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist the sharp edge of the Ming army." ”

"Sending reinforcements? Divide the troops and be weak, how to deal with this side? Sun Yanling frowned, fighting on both sides, how to deploy the already insufficient troops?

"Over here—hehe." Meng Chundi sneered and said, "I'll leave it to Ma Xiong." Taking advantage of the fact that this news had not yet been learned by Ma Xiong, the general left a letter and gathered troops to the north and went straight to Qingyuan Mansion. If Qingyuan Mansion is not guaranteed, it can also withdraw to Liuzhou in the east, which can not only defend the enemy with a strong city, but also seize the foundation of Ma Xiong. ”

Sun Yanling's eyes lit up, and he stroked his palm and said, "This plan is very good." ”

Ma Xiong, as the governor of Guangxi and a veteran of Kong Youde's subordinates, looked down on Sun Yanling, who was born in Weiben and had no talent, and always disagreed with him. And Sun Yanling's subordinates Wang Yongnian, deputy commander Meng Yimao, staff leader Hu Tongchun, Li Yidi and others went up to expose him many illegal things, which attracted the imperial court to send personnel to verify, making Sun Yanling hold a grudge. At the same time, he also suspected that this was Ma Xiong's secret instigation, and he had been waiting for an opportunity to take revenge in order to vent his hatred!

It is precisely because of these reasons that Sun Yanling praised Meng Chundi's strategy, even if he got his army out of an unfavorable situation and left Ma Xiong in the top tank, he could also wait for the opportunity to seize Liuzhou, so that Ma Xiong would lose his foundation, and he would no longer have the strength to compete with himself, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
