Chapter 47: Grief for money

Now he heard that after Dolgon had mobilized his army to besiege his house, Zilharan did not move his blue banner but committed suicide and begged Dolgon not to harm his relatives. As long as he is dead, Dorgon will have no opponent and will be at ease.

It can be said that since the death of Zilharang, Zilharang's power has collapsed, and the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty has the strongest power of Dolgon, allowing Dolgon to dominate!

"Alas!" Zhang Biwu shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that my desire to let Dolgon and Zilharang fight was bankrupt!" I had great hopes for that! What a disappointment for me! Now that Zilharan is dead, Dorgon has seized all the power to death, and it is even more detrimental to us! ”

Zhang Biwu was walking and said: "It's really an old saying, people are not as good as heaven!" ”

At this moment, there was a shout outside, and it turned out that He Tengjiao and Qu Shiyun had come to ask for a meeting. Zhang Biwu's head was big, and he knew that these so-called loyal ministers of the Southern Ming Dynasty must want to persuade him to send troops as soon as possible to rescue Yongli.

The new northwest has not been able to stabilize well, and even if troops are dispatched, they may not be able to save Yongli. Moreover, in addition to Zilharang, Dolgon must be wary of Zhang Biwu's arrival, and he also wants to make a great contribution, so as to show off and consolidate his power!

Let He Tengjiao and Qu Shiyun come in, they really came to let Zhang Biwu enter the army quickly, and they must rescue Emperor Yongli.

For this reason, what else can Zhang Biwu do except smile bitterly? It's not that he doesn't want to save Emperor Yongli, but he doesn't have the ability to save it!

He Tengjiao and Qu Shiyun saw at a glance that Zhang Biwu did not want to send troops, they were very angry, thinking that Zhang Biwu only cared about himself. I don't do anything for the sake of my courtiers. It's so hateful!

He Tengjiao and Qu Shiyun together have a little more than 2,000 people. With these horses alone, it is not an easy task for them to crusade against the Manchus in order to save Yongli. So the two of them calculated again, and led an army to be stationed in Henan to recruit men and horses, and at the same time said that Zhang Biwu was unwilling to fight, and they were willing to die to Mingzhi. The king humiliated the ministers to death. Never settle down.

Zhang Biwu felt helpless, in today's situation, how easy is it to save Yongli, who has entered the tiger's mouth? He wanted to persuade He Tengjiao and Qu Shiyun but couldn't, since this was the case, he had to let them go!

Zhang Biwu was upset, but Lu Xiangsheng and Xuan Jianhao had different opinions, and Lu Xiangsheng suggested to Zhang Biwu.

Their unanimous opinion was: Since Jierharang sent someone to Zhang Biwu to inquire about the situation, he still had a lot of thoughts on tracking down Huang Taiji's life and death, so it can be seen that he would not easily relax the investigation of Huang Taiji's death. It seems that Zilharan is a very soft egg and died, and he did not dare to go to Dolgon.

But the situation in Zilharang can be seen. The blue flag in his hand is not as good as the two white flags, and even the two yellow flags are in the hands of Dolgon, Dolgon has been preparing for a long time, he can naturally destroy Zilharang, and if Zilharang resists again, the end will only be death! And the Manchus will decline in strength because of infighting.

No one will dare to mention the matter of Huang Taiji's death again, so this matter will be done.

These were all things that Zilharang did not want to see, so he could only think of death. As long as he died, Dorgon would no longer care about the affairs of the court, and he would be able to concentrate on the outward. Compete with us! Zilharang will be able to carry out his plan!

………………

This is what Lu Xiangsheng and Xuan Jianhao think, after all, with Zilharang's old scheming, he can't just die at the hands of Dolgon, and there is no resistance at all.

Zhang Biwu thought that some time ago, Jierharang sent someone to ask him questions, although everyone was enemies of each other, hostile relations, and sent people, which made Zhang Biwu unexpected.

It's just that Zhang Biwu thought that even if he told the truth, it would be very beneficial to him, and the envoy would immediately repay.

For this reason, Dolgon also gave Zilharang Doan a charge of communicating with the enemy, and confirmed Zilharang's death.

Zhang Biwu thought of this, he thought about it clearly, Zilharang would not die in vain, he had a counterattack.

Xuan Jianhao said truthfully: "According to our spy report, most of the intelligence organizations originally set up by Zhang Xianzhong in Beijing have been destroyed! Zhang Hualong was injured and came here to prove it! In this case, a large-scale invasion by Dorgon will become a reality in the near future! Dorgon doesn't want to see us slowly building our horse farm in the northwest and training our soldiers. I don't want our strength to be stronger. ”

Lu Xiangsheng also said: "We still have to continue acting, for example, let Li Guoji want to occupy the northwest to enhance his strength." There is a great contradiction between us! Dolgon gave Li Guo even more excuses, saying that he wanted to help him, so he sent troops to give him the northwest land! Seems like this, you have to be suspicious of Li Guo, prince! ”

Zhang Biwu smiled and nodded again, and Lu Xiangsheng continued: "We have to pull out some Tartar prisoners of war, let them put on each other's military uniforms, and kill them, so as to show others that our two families are in harmony, this is proven!" If you want to make a play, you have to be real and do a good job! ”

Zhang Biwu nodded again, he would send a messenger to Li Guo to ask Li Guo to perform this play with him, and Li Guo would readily agree.

Xuan Jianhao even told the news he had discovered, and Dolgon was preparing to attack in a big way.

Zhang Biwu was helpless, since Dolgon came to refuse, he had to fight him, but now Zhang Biwu really didn't want to fight. I just want to use this time to recuperate. to fortify the Northwest.

Now Zhang Biwu has to face the problem of money, the money he has accumulated before, including the money given by Li Jiantai for destroying his family, and the money sent by the Dashun army, he has also used it for seventy-seven eighty-eight, and the tax is not levied because of the poverty of the people, and now there is no money! If we send troops again, where will the food come from?

Nowadays, horse farms raise horses, and it takes money to buy horse breeds! And it also takes money to build a foundry to make bullets and artillery, and it's all money! But where will you get the money? Once he fights with Dolgon, not to mention building artillery, the food and salary alone can kill Zhang Biwu!

When Zhang Biwu thought of this, he was sad! What a bitter word?

He was so anxious that he was in a hurry, and Lu Xiangsheng and Xuan Jianhao looked at him, but they also suffered from having no plan! If you want them to raise money, they really don't know how to raise money! But they thought of one person - Yue Zhicheng! He knows Zhang Xianzhong's treasure, and if he can find out Zhang Xianzhong's treasure, it would be a great thing.

It is said that Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here! Yue Zhicheng came to Zhang Biwu and the others and said, "I just went to visit Brother Zhang Hualong!" Alas! Think about the brothers lurking in Beijing who died so miserably! This revenge must be avenged no matter what! ”

Zhang Biwu looked at him, nodded his head, and said, "Yes!" We've got to get it! ”

Xuan Jianhao seized this opportunity and said, "Yes! We also want to attack the Manchus, but we have no money! Raising soldiers and making artillery and ammunition don't need money? Besides, conquering the northwest is equivalent to having a horse farm, but because we don't have money, this horse farm can't be implemented! If only one iron horse could fight against the Eight Banners! Money, money! ”

Lu Xiangsheng also said: "Actually, the Dashun army has a lot of money, but they won't help us!" Grow our power in vain, he doesn't want to do that! So, who can we ask for money from? But He Tengjiao and Qu Shiyun didn't think of our difficulties, and blindly asked us to send troops to rescue Emperor Yongli. In short, it's hard, it's hard! ”

Xuan Jianhao said again: "No matter how difficult and bitter it is, our determination to resist the Qing Dynasty will not change!" We will all think of ways to defeat the Qing army! Alas! ”

Xuan Jianhao's sigh was to make Lu Xiang speak, the two double reeds played well! No, Lu Xiangsheng said: "Hanxing, are you worrying that we don't have money?" Oh, yes! If you want the cattle to contribute, at least let the cattle eat enough! When Emperor Chongzhen was the emperor, it was because he had no money that he dragged down the entire Ming Dynasty, and he let the Ming Dynasty be destroyed! ”

Zhang Biwu looked at Xuan Jianhao and Lu Xiangsheng, figuring out their thoughts, wondering if they wanted Yue Zhicheng to tell Zhang Xianzhong's treasure? Zhang Biwu looked at Yue Zhicheng, Yue Zhicheng was listening to them.

Yue Zhicheng could also see Zhang Biwu's difficulties, so he nodded and replied: "I have a way!" Anyway, I have the treasure map of our Emperor Onishi, although I don't know where to hide, but as long as I follow the map, I will definitely be able to find the treasure of Emperor Onishi! Emperor Onishi also said that his treasure does not have to be given to the Onishi army, but to heroes who are enough to resist the Qing Dynasty and drive away the Tartars! ”

"Really? Did Emperor Onishi really say that? Zhang Biwu looked very excited, he came over and held Yue Zhicheng's hand tightly, and said, "Zhicheng, do you have Zhang Xianzhong's treasure map?" It would be great if that were the case! I don't ask for more, as long as I have a few million taels, then I will be developed! ”

"Ha Lu Ha!" Yue Zhicheng laughed out loud, and he said, "A few million taels? Inevitably, there is too little to say! Don't think that's all there is to it! There are so many treasures of our Emperor Onishi that you can't believe it! It's much more than the money that Li Zicheng received for torture in Beijing! Now the Dashun army is not short of money, and the wealth is rich, but if the treasure of our Daxi is really far worse than that! Even Emperor Chongzhen is not as rich as the princes and officials in various places, and our Great Western Army has fought in all directions, and the amount of money we have obtained is so surprising that you can! ”

Zhang Biwu's eyes lit up, although he had also heard that Zhang Xianzhong's money was more than Li Zicheng's torture in Beijing! When this is also a rumor, now when I hear what Yue Zhicheng said, it is not a rumor, but a fact! How can people not be blushing! As long as you have money, what can't you do?

Money is not everything, but no money is everything! (To be continued......)
