Chapter XVII
The result was very happy for everyone, Pang Tong, Guo Jia and others knew that Lu Ying would definitely surrender from the moment Zhang Lang talked to Lu Ying. Psychological tactics, Guo Jia and Pang Tong also have times when they are in the hands of Zhang Lang, not to mention Lu Ying. The premise of his surrender is to open the line of defense in his heart.
clause
After the end of the battle of Jiqiu, Zangba and Huang Gai also came with good news, recovering Dongwu City and Lu State respectively, and now they are rushing to Jiqiu to join Zhang Lang.
At present, in the entire Qingzhou, only one county in the East China Sea has not been recovered, and all of them have fallen into the Jiangdong camp. At this moment, the Jibei area has also been controlled by the Gao Shun army. Cao Jun did not want to cross the Yellow River.
The real conquest begins at this moment. Zhang Lang and others counted all the troops in Jiangdong, and the regular army was about 400,000 people, but it would be very difficult to control the entire Yellow River front and then transfer troops to the west.
After all, Zhang Lang is a person from modern society, although he has been spanning for more than 20 years, he has not forgotten the customs and knowledge he has cultivated in modern society.
Although there are some novelties, they will be implemented immediately after Guo Jia and Pang Tong's two top advisers are recognized. To the entire Jiangdong sphere of influence, widely publish heroic posts. Anyone over the age of 18 can join the army. It is implemented under the compulsory military system, and after three years of service, he retires and returns to his hometown. When returning to their hometowns, the government of the place where they are registered is responsible for subsidizing the allowance for three years of military service.
It was clearly marked at the notice that the conscripts did not go out with the troops, and their main task was to be responsible for holding the city and doing some regular exercises, and if they were killed in battle, their families would be named martyrs' families. Enjoy the government's living allowance on a quarterly basis. In fact, everyone knows that a soldier in a war can guarantee life and death.
Perhaps it is Zhang Lang's personality that has deeply influenced the people of Jiangdong, or some people are enthusiastic and want to devote themselves to the reunification of the country.
A month later, Zhang Lang, who was recuperating in Yanzhou's East County, received good news. Donghai County was cut off from water and food, and finally could not support it and surrendered to Jiangdong. The 200,000 conscripts that Zhang Lang originally planned to recruit unexpectedly received the support of the people. The number of applicants is as high as 800,000, and about 500,000 people have been screened and qualified.
This number surprised Zhang Lang a little, which can be described as surprising and happy. With these 500,000 new troops, more than one army. It also proves Zhang Lang's position in the minds of the people.
After Zhang Lang heard this number, he couldn't sit still anymore, quickly stood up, and said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, you immediately summon Zhang Zhao to come to see me." ”
Zhang Zhao was originally in Pengcheng, and after Zhang Lang returned to Dongjun, he immediately followed. Report on Koto's earnings and expenses for the quarter. Because Zhang Lang was tired, after shirking once, Zhang Zhao has been waiting for his life in Dongjun!
"My subordinates are meeting the lord, I don't know why the lord is so urgent?" Zhang Zhao hurried over. When he entered the hall, he said to Zhang Lang.
Zhang Lang smiled, walked up to Zhang Zhao, and helped him up: "Zibu, how is the current financial situation of my Jiangdong?" ”
Zhang Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and thought that something was wrong, so he hurriedly summoned himself over, and wiped the cold sweat oozing from his forehead: "Back to my lord, all walks of life in Jiangdong are now expanding and the economy is developing rapidly. The treasury has deposited sixty thousand taels of gold and one million taels of silver. And ......"
"And what?" Zhang Lang frowned and looked at this extremely capable internal affairs expert.
"Speaking of which, the lord should celebrate!" Zhang Zhao smiled, looked at Zhang Lang, Zhang Lang was such a person, and immediately saw from Zhang Zhao's eyes that he had bad intentions. However, Zhang Zhao is calm. Looking at such an excited appearance, there must be a great benefit, so you can say that, right?
Although he was a little puzzled, Zhang Langke had already guessed some ways and asked rhetorically: "Is there any news about your gold mines?" Didn't you fall short again? Haha......"
Zhang Zhao said excitedly: "The lord is smart, yes, it is the gold mine, it's a pity." I disappointed my lord again. After that, Zhang Zhao lowered his head and made a look of shame for Zhang Lang.
Seeing this, Zhang Lang laughed: "Haha...... Zibu, you will be sold. Messed things up and want me to celebrate? That's not your style. Tell the story. ”
"Hey...... I can't hide anything from the lord, yes, the gold mine didn't get any benefits, but it was just more than 30,000 taels. Before Zhang Zhao finished speaking, everyone was already dumbfounded.
More than 30,000 taels!? That's it!? Of course, they were surprised not only by the more than 30,000 taels of gold mines, but everyone present knew that Zhang Zhao had something to say, and more than 30,000 taels of gold mines were all there. Isn't that bigger?
Although Pang Tong usually behaves incomprehensibly, he is also a mortal after all, although he is not greedy for money, but when he hears this number, his heart and liver are still pounding.
Everyone was just surprised, but none of them spoke, Dian Wei's expression and movements were the most exaggerated, the eyes as big as a cow were almost on the ground, and his mouth was even more open, as if he wanted to swallow Zhang Zhao's whole person into his stomach.
At this time, Zhang Lang stood up to ease the situation and motioned for Zhang Zhao to continue.
Zhang Zhao clenched his fists and replied: "Back to the lord, after the subordinates finished excavating the gold mine, they were not idle, except for dealing with ordinary things, they observed and walked around. Unexpectedly, another copper mine was unexpectedly harvested in Hulin. I have a rough estimate that at least 100,000 taels of raw copper ore are buried here! "In a sense, copper is better than gold, even though the price of gold is much higher than copper. Copper can be used more widely.
"Haha...... Zibu is really a good hand. Looks like we're going to have to celebrate tonight. However, there is one more thing that needs to be planned by the sub-cloth belt. Zhang Lang squinted at Zhang Zhao beside him.
Zhang Zhao's forehead began to ooze beads of crystal clear sweat again. I'm afraid that Zhang Lang will come up with some ideas again. Although he was helping Zhang Lang to do things, he did it all by himself, although he couldn't use his own, but according to Zhang Lang's consumption method, Zhang Zhao couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
"My lord, when you have to give your orders, just give orders!" After a momentary struggle of thoughts, Zhang Zhao replied to this sentence.
"Huh...... Actually, it's not a big deal, you also know that a month ago, I posted a hero post, I want you to estimate, if you do this, how much will it cost? ”
"This ...... I have to say for a while, the number is large, the number of projects is large, and it is difficult to estimate the next time. Please ask the lord to be lenient, and Ming said that Zibu must submit the specific data to the lord for his attention. How is it? Zhang Zhao asked rhetorically.
Zhang Lang nodded, walked to the handsome chair, and faced the important ministers of Jiangdong: "In order to celebrate the successful formation of my 500,000 new army, and also for Zibu to make such a great contribution to Jiangdong, there will be a big banquet tonight!" ”
