"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

The collision of two waves of the sea made a crimson 'splash' in all directions.

Green, yellow, purple, brown, black, the waves of the sea crashed into the hottest blood in the world on the surface of the dry yellow sea.

"Newspaper—"

"Governor, General Li, the commander of the Left Army, asks for help—"

"Newspaper—"

"Dudu, the former army General Zhao has broken through Di Qi—"

……

On a three-zhang high wooden platform, a general of the Zhou army in bright armor stood solemnly, holding a clairvoyant mirror to watch any changes on the battlefield.

The battle of hundreds of thousands of enemies and ours was covered by the battlefield within a radius of dozens of miles. And on a battlefield of this scale, there are as many as three within a radius of 300 miles from the surrendered city.

Soon after entering the winter, after the withered yellow color hit the grassland, the Hu Di coalition army, which could not support the long confrontation in the third winter, finally launched a full-scale attack on the Central Plains coalition army-

"Governor of the Imperial Palace, the offensive on the left flank of the Diqi is weakened......"

The flag waved, and the general looked to the left, and sure enough, the flag of the Zhongshan Army there was more solemn than before. At least, it's no longer slowly retreating......

The front of the surrendered city.

"Ho...... Ho...... Hey......"

The rhythmic sound of the horn resounded outside the city, and the towering "wooden towers" were pushed out of the gate of the Central Plains Coalition Army in the loud and neat sound of the horn.

Two quarters of an hour later, dozens of wells, dozens of rushing carts, and hundreds of thunderbolts were neatly lined up in a phalanx of equipment under the surrendered city. They were accompanied by 50,000 elite infantry men in heavy armor armed with broadswords and spears, and 30,000 crossbow guards and heavy shield armor.

There were more than 50,000 iron horsemen on the left and right.

"Dada...... Dadada......"

"Dada...... Dadada......"

The cavalry of the Central Plains Coalition Army rushed out from the third camp in the southwest of the city, and the galloping horses were like a dark cloud wrapped in rolling thunder, and the speed moved from the sky to the front of the formation.

This was just an attempt at their attack, and they invested at least 130,000 elites.

"Woooooooooo......oo Woohoo......"

The muffled sound of a horn.

"Knock knock...... Knock knock ......"

The sound of majestic war drums.

Under the surrendered city, the mountains are all over the wilderness. 130,000 steps riding on the drum, drinking in the mouth-

"Huh...... Ho Ho ......"

"Huh...... Ho Ho ......"

The sound is like thunder, and the momentum is like splitting a mountain. The endless Central Plains coalition army formed an iron stream that could not be seen at a glance, and they stepped on neat steps, step by step, step by step, and swept in like a surging wave.

Sonic boom in the sky, this word can be used to express their prestige.

and the city of twelve feet high was surrendered. The surrendered city of dozens of miles around is also a behemoth standing on the earth.

Compared with the two phases, the originally fierce and irresistible Central Plains coalition army seems to have lost its invincible momentum.

The surrendered city began to fight. The military horses left behind by the Yan State resisted the Goryeo army. The other side also launched a fierce attack on the enemy's east. The order for an all-out counteroffensive was sent to the Northern Han and Zhao states, and most of the army of Zhongshan rushed to Chendi.

Zhu Biao, who did not know how Zhao Jun responded, did not know how Hexi, Luozhou and other places responded, and Zhu Biao, who did not move, only Hedong was, and not a single soldier was moved.

The Hedong Army, which is a strong soldier, is now only 100,000 strong, and its combat effectiveness and training have declined strictly. Zhu Biao sent troops to Yan Ran to prepare to sweep Uwei Tuo, but he didn't plan to take people to seek death.

and now north of Yin Mountain. It was difficult to find Hu for thousands of miles, and the army could not get local supplies at all, which meant that the Hedong army needed to bring enough grain and grass when it sent troops. An army of 100,000 has at least a month's worth of grain, so how many wagons and horses are needed to transport it?

Zhu Biao can't send troops at all now. Unless he's only going to visit the steppes.

The vision of Hedong immediately attracted the attention of all those who cared about it. Of course, they didn't think that Zhu Biao was afraid of the Hu people, or that he didn't send troops because he was afraid of the Hu people, or that he didn't send troops to protect himself, but they all thought that Zhu Biao was going to make a move.

This rumor has been spreading since the Hedong Army began to blatantly expand its recruitment half a year ago.

But no one dares to really talk about it in the open.

Zhu Biao is the general of the Northern Han Dynasty. What do you look like with only 50,000 or 60,000 horses? There are many things that can only be understood but not spoken.

And looking at the summer when Zhu Biao's little sister got married, people from Yanxi's hometown came to congratulate her. After that, only a dozen or twenty juniors were left in Hedong, and the rest all returned to their respective families, this is not the rhythm of rebellion? Zhu Biao values his clansmen very much. This is evident from his actions over the years.

So, rumors are always rumors. It wasn't until the time turned to the present, after the Hedong Army stood still, that the rumors were really hot.

"What do you want to do?"

Cai Tingshen's letter was delivered early, and Zhu Biao replied seriously, but obviously Cai Tingshen didn't believe it.

Because of the immobility of the Hedong Army, even the Hexi Army and the Luozhou Army were affected accordingly.

"My lord, Zhu Biao seems to have objections. Why not use big words to lure them into raising troops and causing trouble in the northern corner? In this way, the progress of Zhao State should also be one step faster.

And if Qin and Zhao can join forces, it will not be a problem to exterminate Western Xia.

At that time, Xia will be attacked by the enemy, and the general trend will go. The imperial court was able to calm the northwest in a moment. As soon as the situation in the DPRK is shaken, the situation in the Central Plains will change. ”

"Why did Zhu Biao rebel at this time?" The man in the shadows asked.

His men immediately shut their mouths and could not speak. Zhu Biao really has no reason to rebel at this time. Half a year ago, he still broke his capital and fought with Hu Ren!

"This matter has yet to be agreed upon, and it should not be acted upon lightly."

……

"There is nothing in the world to disturb mehrs! Mother, the child is deeply favored by the ancestors, pulled out from the end, from the army, and dare not forget it for the rest of his life.

Born as a Hanchen, died as a Han ghost.

The rebellion is nothing and pure nonsense. ”

Holding the old lady in his hand, Zhu Biao did not curse and swear, and did not scold the heavens and the earth, but the words that came out in this plain tone made Zhu Mu laugh immediately.

"Well, it's true. In this way, the mother will be relieved. "Mother Zhu has never been polluted by pickles, and she is wholeheartedly grateful to the court. I suddenly heard a message outside. was frightened, and as soon as he returned home from the Taoist temple, he immediately attracted Zhu Biao for interrogation.

gave his wife a look, Zhu Biao sat on the side and talked to Zhu's mother for a while, and then withdrew from the house. Zhou Yunfei was recruited at the moment, unlike Dou Bing, who has been by Zhu Biao's side for many years, Zhou Yunfei is now more of a 'watch' yard and will take over Uncle Hong's class in the future.

Today, Zhu Mu went out to burn incense, and he was the one who followed the guards.

"Childe rest assured. The little one went to seal the Taoist temple-" Zhou Yunfei, who had figured out the beginning and the end, raised his eyebrows. promised Zhu Biao, and went out angrily.

Zhu Biao rubbed his chin and muttered to himself in his heart: "I think I have saved it properly, but I think there are still fish that have slipped through the net." ”

If you are not a caring person, how can this news reach your mother's ears?

Half an hour later. The results of Zhou Yunfei's trip to the Taoist temple were passed back. It was Zhu's mother who met a Taoist priest who had been on the order for a long time in the Taoist temple today, and inadvertently 'heard' a few words. This Taoist priest has been placing orders there for more than three months, and he has been closely monitored for a while, and he has checked the details, and there are no holes found, so it can be said that he is already a person who has been discharged from danger.

But who would have thought he would hide so deeply?

When Zhou Yunfei took someone to the Taoist temple again, the Taoist person had already said goodbye.

Day 2. An investigation that swept through Hedong was launched silently. was touched by Zhu's mother's side, which made Zhu Biao, who thought he was safe, have to cheer up.

Fortunately, this time the 'enemy' is just to stab the news, and if it is a bad intention, then the danger is more than that.

Zhu Biao had previously only made the copper cast iron operated by his mansion airtight. But he ignored the outside. Not only Zhu's mother, but also Shan Yuping occasionally takes the child outside for a spin......

This incident is a wake-up call for him!

The Hedong investigation failed to find any traces, but Zhu Biao thought it should be from Beiping.

But the people of the six doors smelled some clues about the other thing. Following the clues, they quickly dug down. The results were on the fifth day, at the beginning of December. It was placed in front of Zhu Biao.

"Jin Yuan?"

Liu Zhengqing took out a pocket from his arms and handed it to Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao took the pocket, opened it and threw it on the table, and Ding Lingdang dropped more than a dozen glittering gold coins on the table. Stretching out his hand to put these Jin Yuan together, Zhu Biao didn't find any problems, "Second uncle, what is this?" ”

"Take one and look closely." Liu Zhengqing's face was not good, he had seen too much gold in the past two days, and he had a headache when he saw the glittering gold.

Zhu Biao was confused, this gold coin didn't look any different. I took one in my hand and tossed it twice, a normal gold coin.

Liu Zhengqing also took one in his hand, this thing is really like it, and there is no special problem with the naked eye.

But there's something really wrong with it.

"What do you see?"

Zhu Biao was secretly shocked. The second uncle is so entangled in gold coins again and again, then there must be something wrong with these gold coins.

Suddenly, he opened his palms and looked at it carefully, walked out of the hall, and shone into the sun, and found that the luster of the gold coin seemed to be a little dim. I was shocked in my heart, and I suddenly raised my head and asked, "Is this fake?" ”

Liu Zhengqing had a wry smile on his face, "How did you see that?" ”

"The gloss, the gloss is a little dull. I took it in front of me and threw it in my hand, but I didn't feel any lighter. But if you look closely at the sun, it's a little wrong. ”

Liu Zhengqing was very bitter, "These gold coins are all fake." ”

"Approaching the New Year's Day, the treasury counts the account day, and every qiē is also right, that is, when weighing the gold yuan, it is a little off.

Yongling County is the most, and the number is the same. The weight difference is more than three pounds. I led people to check the 13,000 gold dollars in the treasury of the head office overnight, and found that more than 500 of them were counterfeit coins. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Zhengqing's expression became more and more sad. Hedong is the base camp of the Hedong Army, and more than 500 counterfeit coins can be found in 13,000 gold coins, a proportion of 4%, which is really strict.

"Where's the silver dollar?" Zhu Biao thought of the silver dollar.

The gold dollars that are relatively small in circulation are 4% counterfeit in their own base camps, and the silver dollars that are more than ten times stronger in circulation and scale......

Zhu Biao has to worry not only about the bank, but also about the tax treasury of the county government.

At the moment, even Liu's Bank couldn't take care of it, so let Liu Zhengqing go back and count the silver dollars and even the copper dollars first. The text of his own book was handed to the county guard, and then the formal letter was played to Beiping City.

The whole of Hedong was caught in the inventory of the treasury for the next seven days, which took seven days. In the end, 7,435 counterfeit gold coins were found. The weight is more than 30 catties lighter.

The gold coin counterfeiting must be added copper, and comparing the density of gold and copper, the weight of gold involved will reach as much as 70 catties. It accounts for about 10% of the total weight of counterfeit gold coins.

The number of silver coins has reached more than 35,000, and thinking that there are still counterfeit gold and silver coins in circulation in the market that have not been found, Zhu Biao can't help but say that he underestimated the 'keenness' of the 'ancients'.

Of the more than 7,400 counterfeit gold dollars and more than 35,000 counterfeit silver coins found, the largest amount was found in the treasury of Hedong County. Hedong Taishou was also taken aback when he got Zhu Biao's text, and immediately began to investigate. You can check and check, where is there a quasi-head.

Just like the money shortage in Hedong at the beginning, nothing was found in the last ten **.

Although this amount of gold and silver coins is not a small number. But for some well-established organizations, it's not worth mentioning. Even some big merchants can easily come to that place with hundreds of thousands of taels of gold and silver.

And there is no guarantee that these gold and silver coins are owned by one person. And minting counterfeit coins, getting molds and adulteration inside, are too simple and easy. There is no need for a serious craftsman to do it, and casual people can do it as long as they have the heart and materials.

Just these two 'points'. The object of the entire case has been expanded indefinitely.

Zhu Biao hopes that this mastermind behind the scenes is just his own 'accidental', and hopes that its essence is just one or several greedy and black-hearted businessmen Haoqiang. If it's really an enemy who is secretly targeting him, then it will be a real headache.

Time flies, and the New Year is approaching. The whole Hedong County is full of traffic, lively and extraordinary, and there is an endless flow of people to buy and do New Year's goods. Crowds.

The boundary of the General's Mansion is relatively quiet, but the daily noise in the city can almost reach the atrium. Like ordinary people's homes, Zhu Biao's house is also busy preparing supplies for the New Year. But the difference is that ordinary people's families come and go to congratulate each other or just prepare to get on the bus. A piling up of the table is considered wealthy. And Zhu Biao's congratulatory gifts here are to fill a whole warehouse.

Those who go up to the palace of the king, and those who go down to the guards around them, the servants in the house, and the neighbors on the left and right, do not prepare hundreds of copies. Where there is enough to use, there must be a return gift.

Zhu Biao saw the tricks that had been picked out in advance. It is a set of more than a dozen colorful full sets of glass dishes and tableware, which is the main product he prepared for Ji Yun's New Year's gift. Although it is only a simple dozen dishes, in order to make such a set of uniform size, colorful but not gorgeous glassware, the glazed ware workshop under the house has been busy for more than two months. The glazed tea cups and dishes that were not selected just by firing are organized into seven or eight sets, not to mention the discarded ones.

In a word, technology doesn't work!

"Hey, this style is new!" Zhu Biao didn't worry about choosing items, and after getting married, Shan Yuping took care of it.

At this time, Song Yingzhu said softly: "Sister's vision is really good!" This style is novel, not to mention, but still festive. "Shan Yuping is not a bully, she has decided to accept Song Yingzhu, so she really accepts it, no matter how uncomfortable she felt at the beginning.

"Marijude. Euphemism and colorfulness, endless. It's not just a celebration, but also a TOEFL for the palace! "The pattern selected by Shan Yuping is the common entwined branch lotus in Zhu Biao's previous life, also known as longevity vine, Zhu Biao had mentioned it to her before. He forgot it in a blink of an eye, but he didn't expect his wife to always remember it.

When you look at it, it's not the same. Since then, the glass bowl has become more precious.

This thing is also precious in this time and space, the general's mansion workshop two or three months of work to fire out of the glazed cup is of excellent quality, and now the pattern is novel, the meaning of the New Year is festive, the longevity vine means "endless", just a backdrop, outsiders can no longer find fault with anything.

The rumors are still going on as the New Year approaches, and Zhu Biao will not add any more rights and wrongs at this time.

After a few steps closer, Zhu Biao's eyes looked back and forth on the long table full of samples, there was really nothing new, it was eye-catching.

Grabbed a few from one and grabbed a few from the plate, golden melon seeds, this thing was also his own idea at the beginning. In the TV series of the previous life, especially in the braided scene, the golden melon seeds appeared from time to time.

Gold and silver melon seeds, as well as a steamed bun-shaped gold and silver pendant, the size is endless, the small one penny, the big one or two.

"Xianggong, see you every year with these melon seeds, is it okay to change the tricks this year?" The hall was full of gifts, and Shan Yuping was busy checking the accounts, and it took a long time to raise his head.

"Change the pattern, change the pattern?" Zhu Biao was by the cradle, playing with his son with Song Yingzhu, and the child giggled happily.

Zhu Chun, who has reached the age of one year, takes a medicinal bath every day, and is very healthy, and his size is as old as a two-year-old child from another family.

"Isn't it okay to have cinnamon, sweet peaches, watermelons, red dates, yellow apricots, and pomegranates?"

"You can just do it."

Anyway, the Zhu family is not short of money at the moment. Although the expansion of the army has been rapid in the past six months, the military supplies can still be supported.

He put his forehead on his son's nose, eliciting a series of crunchy laughter.

Song Yingzhu's eyes showed endless love, she couldn't see her son for a long time, and she was full of maternal love for this little guy.

"By the way, when making gadgets, I also create some small gold and silver ingots, along with melons and fruits...... Let's hit 300 each. ”

For the surrounding ordinary people, gold and silver gymnoes or melons and fruits are not as exciting as gold ingots and silver ingots.

A few words made all the five hundred gold and silver melon seeds created in the previous house in vain. Shan Yuping looked at Zhu Biao angrily, but he quickly ordered to go down and build. Anyway, these gadgets are cast in molds, and they are extremely fast, so you just need to polish them carefully after they come out.

After explaining this matter, Shan Yuping once again buried his head in the piles of ledgers. Inventory of all kinds of gifts, until this night when the lantern was held, it was not easy to gather all the gifts to Beiping. He also called a carpenter, and made a special gift box according to the selected gift style and color. To give a gift to Beiping, everything must be refined and noble, the box surface carving and lacquer color, as well as the fabric used for the lining, are carefully advised.

It's already the middle of the year, and it's time to set off......

"Xianggong, won't you go to the capital to congratulate you this year?"

"Don't go. Chinese New Year, where is there a comfortable home......"

The old year is coming to an end!
