After Behachi escaped from the palace, he consulted with the guards to discuss important matters.

"There must be an intelligence organization in the Yan Kingdom, he has a lot of evidence of our crimes, and those respected old ministers are now unwilling to deal with the Northern Thunder!"

Behach has absolutely bad news for the Guards.

"Boss, isn't there anything you can do to deal with the Northern Thunder?"

Of course, Behachi has a way to deal with the Northern Thunder, but he doesn't want to continue, he is worried that he will force the Northern Thunder to be in a hurry and blow out all the good things he has done over the years, and then he will be ruined.

"It's better for everyone to scrape together a million taels of gold, give it to Bei Ying Lei, and send him away!" Behaqi softened and said: "As long as he leaves Yecheng, then this imperial capital will not be our final say!"

The four of them glanced at each other, and wondered: "One million taels is not a small number!"

In fact, although the amount of one million taels is large, it is not impossible to get it, but the question is who will take the money.

One million taels of gold is not something that one person can take out, but if you want everyone to pool money, it is not certain who has more or less, people are selfish, and they don't want to pay more.

Behach has been mixed with officialdom all his life, how can he not see the plans of these people.

"This money is just temporarily stored in the Northern Thunder, as long as he is defeated, one million taels of gold will naturally come back!"

Although Behac's words have a point, it is a pity that the selfishness of human nature makes the guards argue.

"Lord Yu has been in charge of the household department for many years, and he must have a good way to make money!"

"Lord Murong is a member of the royal family, and the family has accumulated for several generations, so he must have a rich family background!"

"Lord Hong is modest, the annual military expenditure of the military department is unknown, and he must make a lot of money!"

These big people in the eyes of ordinary people are now like businessmen who are philistines and merchantists, constantly bargaining, just wanting to take a little less gold.

Behach watched from the sidelines, silent, until the guards saw him watching from the wall and dragged him into the water.

"Lord Behach has been an official for more than 40 years, so he should have a little money to spare!"

When Behachi heard that the guard had hit him with his idea, he secretly hated it in his heart, but he did not show it outward, but said with a pleasant face.

"The old man is an honest official, and he has no extra savings, this million taels of gold, I still need you to think of more ways!"

"Old fox!" When the four of them heard Behachi's words, they thought to themselves at the same time.

"Boss is modest, as far as I know, you just bought a mansion on the outskirts of Yecheng last month, worth 100,000 taels of silver!" For his own benefit, the guard bought Behach in an instant.

Behachi scolded the guard to death in his heart, but replied: "It's because I bought that mansion that I have no money left!"

"But the old man heard that half a year ago, the richest businessman in Yan Country once gave Lord Yan a pair of Wang Xizhi's authentic handiwork, which is worth a lot of money!"

A few people, you push me, I push you just don't want to take out the money, I want the other party to give money, until Hong Guangbi can't stand it anymore, and proposed.

"This matter of money should not be borne by you and me, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and there are many people who want Bei Yinglei to leave!"

Hong Guangbi's words woke up the dreamer.

"That's right, Zuo Zhongcheng of Dali Temple mentioned that his family has an ancestral jade, which is priceless, and now the national disaster is at the head, he should contribute to protect his family and defend the country!" Dali Siqing did not hesitate to pull his subordinates out to prevent the disaster.

"My two subordinate families are the richest people in Jiangnan!"

"My subordinates are military supervisors!"

In this way, the guards put the burden of one million taels of gold on the shoulders of their subordinates, your family paid 10,000 taels of gold, and his family contributed 20,000 taels of gold, and soon gathered the amount, and at the same time, it also made the court officials complain.

When a million taels of gold piled up in front of Qiu Yan, her eyes were about to pop out.

Although he became a country, Qiu Yan had never seen so much money in his life.

"These ministers are so rich that they are bastards!" Qiu Yan looked at the one million taels of gold, and gritted his teeth.

According to the normal salary calculation, the minister of Yan State counted the food and salary of all people for a lifetime, and there was not a million taels of gold, but the real money in front of him told Qiu Yan that her minister was richer than she imagined.

What other avenues can be obtained than embezzlement?

"Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver!" Bei Ying Lei took a gold ingot and sneered: "These are the people's fat and people's ointment!"

Qiu Yan was silent, she originally thought that the price of one million taels of gold was an astronomical amount for Beiying Lei, but the facts told her that these ministers, who usually boast of being high, let alone one million taels, can take out ten million taels.

In fact, the North Thunder is not strange at all, thinking about the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen Emperor in later generations, the country is constantly in turmoil, the emperor shrinks his clothes and diets every day, and the clothes he wears have patches.

After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army entered the customs and looted countless gold and silver from the homes of those ministers of the Ming Dynasty, which could be worth the total financial revenue of the Ming Dynasty for ten years.

is to learn the lessons of the Ming Dynasty, Bei Minglei has no mercy on those corrupt and bribed ministers, as soon as he opens his mouth, it is a million taels of gold, but he still underestimates the minister's ability to collect money.

According to the information received by the Northern Thunder, the five most greedy people have not yet come up with a penny, and one million taels of gold have already been collected, and if the Northern Thunder is a little more greedy, I am afraid that he will be able to get another million taels.

However, Bei Minglei knew that if he continued to blackmail, the minister of Yan Guo might really come to him directly with a kitchen knife to theorize.

Now all the Manchu civil and military wants is to let the Northern Underworld go on the expedition as soon as possible, and it is better to die on the battlefield.

Bei Yinglei was already the most hated person in the Manchu Dynasty, if it weren't for his own strong force and 3,000 new troops, I am afraid that he would have been bitten to death by the crazy courtiers.

Bei Ying Lei soon divided one million taels of gold into two parts, 700,000 taels as military expenses, and 300,000 taels to Qiu Yan to maintain the stability of the country.

Bei Minglei instructed Qiu Yan: "After I take the three thousand new troops away, you use this money to recruit troops and horses to strengthen the defense of the imperial city, remember to hold the military power in your own hands!"

"Master, the rebels are powerful, you should use this money to strengthen your armament!"

There is news from the front that the five rebels have recruited troops all the way, and now the total number of troops is almost 150,000! Relying on those 3,000 new troops alone, the disparity in strength is too great!

Bei Minglei stopped and said: "Don't worry about me, I don't see the five-way rebels yet, after I leave, the ministers will definitely take action, I want you to recruit troops and horses The purpose is to control the ministers, lest I fall into the situation of being attacked on my back!"

Qiu Yan looked at Bei Minglei's confident face, as if what he was about to face was not a rebel army of 150,000 people, but 150,000 pigs.

After Bei Minglei instructed Qiu Yan a few more words, he led people to leave the palace with 700,000 taels of gold, and headed towards the barracks outside Yecheng, where there were 3,000 recruits waiting for him.
