Chapter 7 - Do not compete with the people?

This place is a small forest ten miles away from Huang Degong's military camp.

Yan Yingyuan was sent to the periphery to be on guard, and Wang Chengen accompanied Chongzhen, waiting anxiously!

At this time, there was a sudden movement outside, and it turned out to be Zhang Yun, who was dressed as a small soldier in the Huang Degong army, and walked in with a swagger.

Seeing this, Chongzhen hurriedly greeted him, and asked with an uneasy face: "How is it, Daochang Zhang, does Huang Degong mean to come to me?" ”

Zhang Yun saw that Chongzhen was a little, and he lost his ground!

couldn't help laughing and said: "Whether you can persuade General Huang Degong to join His Majesty's side depends on Your Majesty's ability, but Poor Dao can't manage so much, the only thing Poor Dao can tell His Majesty is: Huang Degong has brought a few cronies straight here......"

After waiting for another half an hour or so, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves outside the grove, and Chongzhen stood up nervously.

Seeing this, Zhang Yun grabbed Chongzhen's sleeve, pulled him back into the small chair, leaned over his ear and whispered: "Your Majesty is now swaggering and deceiving all over the place, at this moment, what Your Majesty has to do is to maintain his imperial majesty, and there is no need to say much about the rest, it all depends on Huang Degong, what he says." ”

Chongzhen nodded silently!

After a while, Huang Degong walked in with dozens of cronies and cavalry, Zhang Yun sighed when he saw this, he was a tired life!

"Ahh......h

With a series of screams, after Zhang Yun knocked down all the dozens of Huang Degong's cronies, he came to Chongzhen's side with a terrified Huang Degong.

"Your Majesty!"

Huang Degong is a person who has seen Chongzhen with his own eyes, so Huang Degong, who was still terrified in front of him, hurriedly knelt down and crawled over excitedly after seeing Chongzhen at this moment, shouting in his mouth......

Seeing Huang Degong's performance like this, Chongzhen was relieved, and he was a big step closer to his footsteps in Nanjing, so he immediately helped Huang Degong up, and in this grove, he staged a trick of getting along with the monarch and the minister!

At the end of this trick, Huang Degong strongly expressed that he wanted to invite Chongzhen to the military camp to sit in the town, and immediately sent Chongzhen to Nanjing City to ascend the throne.

But all of this was rejected by Chongzhen!

Chongzhen just told Huang Degong about the current situation and location, and ordered him to remain quiet, if someone came to ask him to support a certain King Pan to ascend the throne, he would agree.

In this regard, Huang Degong naturally refused extremely much......

It doesn't matter if you don't know that Chongzhen is still alive, knowing that Chongzhen is still alive Huang Degong, there is absolutely no way to act with others!

In the end, there was no way, but Zhang Yun made a round and said: "Your Majesty General Huang doesn't want to put your eggs in one basket, at least you have to find another general to support Your Majesty, this is the safest, of course, characters like Er Liu and Gao Jie, that is to thank you for not being sensitive!" ”

"And because there is no such person to be found, His Majesty is currently training the army himself, and in a month or two, the army will be formed."

"At that time, we will enter Nanjing City strongly, not to mention that according to the poor road, as long as Your Majesty is present in this world, those powerful clans who are now making trouble in Nanjing City are just tomorrow's yellow flowers, not worth mentioning."

"So at present, General Huang only needs to continue training in Jiangbei, try to train the essence of the soldiers and horses, and wait for His Majesty's call!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yun took out a piece of paper from his arms, temporarily made a picture, handed it to Huang Degong, and said to him.

"General Huang can take this map and go to a well of water five miles in front of your military camp on the left side of the barracks, and take out the two million taels of silver military salary that His Majesty gave you."

"Take the two million taels of silver that Your Majesty gave you, and I hope that General Huang will be loyal to the king, and immediately recruit troops and horses, and you must expand the army to about fifty or sixty thousand within two months."

"Of course, this part of the army definitely needs elites, General Huang shouldn't go to pull the strong ding!"

Holding the so-called treasure map, Huang Degong, who was half-convinced, left with dozens of cronies and cavalrymen with blue noses and swollen faces......

As soon as Huang Degong turned around, Chongzhen, who was quite embarrassed, spoke: "This time, I asked the Taoist chief to break the bill again, and took out another two million taels of silver, which is not a small amount, equivalent to half a year's treasury income of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"It's just that the Taoist chief is like this, giving Huang Degong two million taels of silver, aren't you afraid that this guy will disappear directly with 2 million silver?"

"Haha......"

After listening to Chongzhen's remarks, Zhang Yun couldn't care about Chongzhen's face anymore, and laughed out loud in front of him, until he found that Chongzhen's face began to turn black.

Zhang Yuncai gradually suppressed his laughter and said: "In this Ming Dynasty, the most loyal to Your Majesty is Wang Chengen, and the second is Huang Degong!" ”

"Don't say it's two million taels of silver, even if you give Huang Degong 20 million taels of silver, Poor Dao estimates that he Huang Degong will not betray Your Majesty."

"Also, Your Majesty just mentioned taxes and fees, the Ming Dynasty has thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and it can only receive four million taels of silver a year......"

"But the Song Dynasty is only 30% the size of the Ming Dynasty, so how much can the Song Dynasty collect every year? Your Majesty, do you know? ”

"Let me tell you, the Song Dynasty, which is only about 30% of the size of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, can collect at least ten times the annual taxes and fees of the Ming Dynasty......"

"Then it proves that there is indeed so much silver in this world, so where does this silver go? Your Majesty has thought about it! ”

"The most infuriating thing is that after Li Zicheng broke through Beijing City, he directly grabbed 70 million taels of silver, Your Majesty, you must know that it is 70 million taels of silver!"

"Your Majesty, don't you have any ideas!"

After listening to Zhang Yun's analysis, Chongzhen's face was pale, but in the past two months, Zhang Yun has been misleading intentionally or unintentionally......

Let Chongzhen, who was born in the deep palace and grew up in the hands of women, so he has a low eye, and gradually began to understand the difficulties of the people.

Of course, the most important thing is that Chongzhen has gradually understood where the silver is?

Because Zhang Yun took Chongzhen more than once to visit the rich and noble families in Nanjing not far from Jiangyin at night, and Chongzhen saw that when the country was ruined and the family was ruined, those people were still in the bright lights!

And it seems that there has never been a shortage of silver envoys from beginning to end, and when I think about it, I even wore a dragon robe with patches when I was in the capital...... Chongzhen's heart has gradually become different from before!

So at this moment, facing Zhang Yun's provocation......

Chongzhen was indignant, and burst into foul language for the first time, "Fuck it, the people who don't compete with the people for profit, I'm afraid they refer to themselves!" ”
