Chapter 315: The Grand Sacrifice
"Sir, sir, look at this vote."
Although it was raining coldly outside, Chen Jisheng's heart was hot.
He carefully pulled out a package wrapped in several layers of oiled paper from his bosom, and carefully took out the innermost stack of papers.
Although each of these stacks of paper is quite thick, it is only two or two together.
But it was these two taels of paper, but Chen Jisheng was as cautious as holding a big gun.
The person he called Mr. was a bookmaker whom Mao Wenlong trusted very much and specially sent to Chen Jisheng.
Chen Jisheng has always had a good relationship with this old secretary, although he actually has the task of supervising Chen Jisheng more or less, and this old secretary is a crappy mage who can only cast a "magic missile".
However, Chen Jisheng thought that he was much more respectable than those officials who were rich in learning and could use the "Breaking Array", because he participated in the overnight attack on Zhenjiang with the Dongjiang Army, and later the guerrilla warfare in southern Liaoning, as well as the construction of the fortifications of Phi Dao.
Of course, his main job is to help Mao Wenlong keep accounts.
The old scrivener took the small stack of papers, and then he had to lean under the candle to look at it.
"Sir, be careful." Seeing his action, Chen Jisheng was very worried, but out of respect for this partner, he still restrained his urge to take the paper back, "Tens of thousands of women and children on Phi Island are counting on this." ”
"General Chen is calm in the face of thousands of Jianzhou elves, how can you ............ this time" The old secretary was halfway through his laughter, and suddenly jumped back as if he had been burned.
Then he glanced at Chen Jisheng in disbelief, and after seeing the other party nodding slightly, he buried his head again and carefully examined the paper.
Although the candle flame was dim, he still didn't dare to get too close. Although this piece of paper is actually not afraid of fire at all.
He carefully and carefully checked all kinds of monograms and dense patterns, until Chen Jisheng's breathing was short, and the old secretary finally raised his head and asked, "General Chen, this redemption ticket was given to you by that brocade guard?!" ”
"Well, it was Deputy Commander Wu who gave it to me." Chen Jisheng no longer uses "that brocade guard" to refer to Wu Xin, and no one is guaranteed to do so. If you are given a full hundred thousand taels of silver, you should have such a minimum courtesy, "It's true, he doesn't ask for anything in return, as long as we can fight the Tartars together." ”
Ten silver tickets, 100,000 taels.
Although Wu Xin has destroyed those Jin merchants, the backstage of those Jin merchants is still there, and Wu Xin is still helpless against the clans, border generals, and wealthy families in Shanxi.
"Really, definitely true, but this 100,000 taels of silver is hot." The old book office knows. These silvers were actually robbed by Wu Xin of those moths, "In Taiyuan City, there are also characters with hands and eyes, and that Jinyi Wei wants our Dongjiang Army to carry those people with him." ”
got a reminder from the old bookstore, and Chen Jisheng also woke up.
He's not a dull man, just a relative lack of experience.
These bills are related to the credibility of those ticket numbers, and after the loss of important principals, those behind-the-scenes shareholders have to maintain a stable situation.
So eighty percent can be redeemed. But when the Dongjiang Army redeemed this silver, it was openly connected with Wu Xin.
"We can't rush it. This matter should be reported to Mao Dashuai and let him decide. "The words of the old secretary are the old words, "Wu Xin wronged the governor of the king, we can't just forget it." ”
Chen Jisheng was silent, he was reluctant to carry out this strategy that would not be wrong for him.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Winter is coming. The sooner the money was sent to those moths in the Yamen of Tianjin Wei and Denglai Governor, Phi Dao would be able to get supplies one day earlier. ”
Although Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, did his best to support Mao Wenlong, he was an important supporter of the Dongjiang Army compared to those Wenchen who deliberately withheld supplies.
But this is Yuan Keli's limit, and he is only a part of the system. Can't fight this system.
The bureaucrats under him, if they are not fed, will still not be able to do things.
In the history of hundreds of years, these soap families have accumulated hundreds of completely reasonable reasons for the inability to leave the warehouse.
"And Governor Wang's kindness to Mao Dashuai is as deep as the sea, I can't make Mao Dashuai embarrassed." Chen Jisheng was unwilling to let Mao Wenlong make this difficult decision, "I took the money, you go and give it to those warehouse managers, Mao Dashuai doesn't have to know these details, this is me alone sorry for Governor Wang." ”
"Let's go back to Phi Island in a few days, these masters, let them fight." The old scrivener said loudly.
"I won't leave, these Dongjiang soldiers should be sold to Deputy Commander Wu." Chen Jisheng shook his head, "Although Deputy Commander Wu is domineering, he is indeed bent on fighting back to Liaodong, since he has paid so much money, I will sell my life to him." ”
If you are not bent on fighting back to Liaodong, how can you come up with so much silver?
……………
"Now we are completely destitute again............ "Galile said bitterly, "a whole 200,000 thalers, you just gave that General Chen, how do you know that he will definitely support you?" ”
"During this time, these veterans of the Dongjiang Army joined Li Shizhong's training, which greatly strengthened the combat effectiveness of this unit." Wu Xin retorted.
"But if this continues, no matter how good the troops are, they won't be useful?" Villefort was very impatient, "We just watched that Sun Chengzong and Han Chuming do some big sacrifices together?" ”
The scale of this sacrifice is indeed to the limit.
The entire city of Quang Ninh was fully mobilized, and the people were either preparing for the Great Sacrifice or on their way to prepare for it.
Every household, regardless of whether it is a farmer or a businessman, has the money to contribute and make strong preparations.
The entire bureaucracy of the Empire of Light did not levie and collect taxes so smoothly.
In fact, the inhabitants of Quang Ninh City have been extremely panicked, and the fear that the elves have entered the city and killed all the men and snatched all the women has been hanging over them.
And the fact that Sun Degong was a demon sent by the elves tightened the strings to the limit.
Quang Ninh City needs comfort.
Han Chuming's hand was extremely tricky, and Wu Xin's strength was limited and he couldn't confront the people.
"This may be Han Chuming's conspiracy, he probably knows that our time is running out, and the Great Sacrifice has consumed too many resources." Gonzalez Jr. added, "We only have three months left, and even if we start preparing now, it's hard to say whether we can launch an offensive in the winter, because it's very difficult to conduct military operations in the winter, and we need to prepare a lot." ”
"The sacrifice itself disturbs me." Kessler was also worried. (To be continued.) )
