Chapter 458

This is the way things are in the world, as long as there are benefits, the efficiency will be greatly improved. Jinling is not far from Yangzhou, and the Zodiac has been waiting for the Nanjing forbidden army for less than ten days. Under the personal supervision of the military department, Shangshu rushed to Yangzhou City within five days.

With a bill of lading of 150,000 taels of silver in her arms, Ma Shiying felt heavy in her arms. One benefit made 200,000 taels of silver, even in Ma Shiying's history of corruption, it was a historical record.

Under the new results, Ma Shangshu is neither arrogant nor boring. In line with the spirit of fearlessness and Shen, he sold the 4,000 firearms in the Jinling Arsenal to Huang Daozhou. not only scraped the money raised by the Zodiac Week, but also took away 10,000 taels of silver from the Yangzhou treasury.

Carrying a heavy amount of silver, Ma Shiying left satisfied. He was accompanied by 2,000 of his own soldiers, escorting the most brilliant results of his career.

On the way back to Jinling, Ma Shiying heard a news. Wu Sangui, the director of the weapons supervision recruited by Wen Tiren, rebelled, and the Dutch envoy named Yu Yi was also opposed. They led a large number of people to plunder the city of Suzhou, and then seized two sea ships that had just been built by the Suzhou shipyard. With the fruits of the robbery, I don't know where to go down the river.

Ma Shiying didn't feel the slightest surprise, these two people were guys who went back and forth. Now it's the other way around, and it's not a big deal.

The problem now is to hurry to Jinling, with the old immortal of Huang Daozhou on his side. Yangzhou is estimated to be able to keep it for a few days, and take advantage of these few days to make some gold and silver at home. Take your two thousand soldiers who have been fed with silver to Yunnan!

The imperial court was going to move to Yunnan, which was something that a few important ministers such as Ma Shiying and Wen Tiren only knew. Even Zhu Yujian, the Yongli Emperor who lived in the Linhu Palace, didn't know that there was such an arrangement!

Now that I have this net worth, it is estimated that I should be doing well in Kunming. At least the wealth of this life can be regarded as there!

As for the future of the Ming Dynasty, Lao Tzu will be fifty years old this year. There are still a few years to live, and after Lao Tzu dies, he doesn't care about the flood.

"Lord Shangshu returned to Jinling, but fortunately, Jinling not only allocated us a lot of firearms, but also allocated a lot of gunpowder to us. I asked Division Commander Zhang of the forbidden army, and he said that we couldn't finish these ammunition in half a year. "Yangzhou commanded Zhang Rusong to salute the zodiac Zhou.

"Hmmm! Ma Shangshu is still in business. Huang Daozhou nodded with satisfaction, he knew better than anyone else that he had been in officialdom for decades. Those who can do things with money these years are considered good officials.

"Division Commander Zhang said that the Liao army seems to have begun to move towards our Yangzhou."

"Humph! Our Yangzhou is now strong and strong, and we are still afraid of the Liao army. Let them come and die as many as they want, and they must hold Yangzhou. We must not let the barbaric Liao army get involved in our land of beauty and wisdom in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

"The Liao army's various evil deeds have been told to the people. When the people heard that the Liao army was coming, they wanted to shave their hair and change clothes, but everyone was unwilling. In the past few days, the conscription has strengthened the city wall, and not only the big families have money to pay. Ordinary farmers also have a strong contribution! Many of them have already served as conscripts and are now volunteering on the construction site. Do you think there is some money in the treasury to give them some wages? ”

"Yes! The morale of the people is good, but the officials will not take advantage of the people in vain. Now the treasury is tight, and no one will send ten big dollars every day and receive two catties of rice! After being slashed by Ma Shiying, Huang Daozhou's hands are now stretched. But no matter how bitter he is, he is not willing to suffer the people.

"Lord Fuzun really loves the people like a son! Hundreds of thousands of Yangzhou people under the standard, thank you to Lord Fuzun. Zhang Rusong gave a deep salute, and his head was about to be stuffed into the crotch of his pants. As if this is not the case, it can't show love for Lord Fuzun.

"Lord Fuzun, the road here is slippery, and I will help you." Carefully sending Huang Daozhou away, Zhang Rusong instructed his own soldiers: "Go and tell those mud-legged people that this official will help them get five eldest sons a day, plus a pound of rice." Let those mud-legged people work diligently, maybe tomorrow the Liao army will arrive in the city. ”

"No!" The soldiers answered, and went to give the order.

"Tell Madame that the soft things in the house should be cleaned up quickly. Damn, the Liao army is coming. Let her move all the soft things at home to the boat, and after I get on the boat, we will go back to our hometown in Jiangxi. As soon as the herald left, Zhang Rusong whispered to his own steward behind him.

"No! The villain went to inform the lady and put all the soft on the boat. "The steward ran away without a trace, and the speed was still three points faster than that of the herald.

"Damn, I didn't expect being a pirate to be so enjoyable." Wu Sangui played with a string of pearl necklaces in his hand. Each pearl on the necklace was the size of a dragon's eye. Wu Sangui is also considered to be the head of a wealthy family, and it is the first time he has seen such a big pearl necklace. I don't know if this hostess is wearing a necklace or when the Buddha beads are hanging.

"Hahaha! What is this, I have already inquired. There are also two shipyards along the way, and there are repaired ships even if they are not built at this time. Let's capture some sea ships and take them out to sea.

Follow the coastline all the way south and we will reach the island of Java. Although the Dutch had a governor there, their weapons were not as good as ours, and their army was only two or three hundred men. It's very easy to be defeated by us, and if you defeat them, Java is ours.

By then you will have countless slaves, and you will also be the new king there. Even if you are emperor there, no one will have an opinion. "I'm happy to have a big gold tooth that weighs one or two! With your fingers, carefully wipe the blood off the big gold teeth.

"Along the Yangtze River, we can grab it all the way. His grandmother's, he really can't fit in a few more boats. "Wu Sangui loved the life of a pirate to death. He felt that this was the best way to realize the value of his life.

Huge ships docked at the docks, and hundreds of "whooping" and "whooping" warriors rushed down the deck with ropes. Pistols and scimitars swung through the crowd, severed limbs and scorching blood splattered in all directions.

People were driven away like sheep, screaming in fear and howling fiercely. The cry is the most beautiful music, and this group of outlaws has taken the city with them. Dragging the long knife in his hand, "Ha" and "Ha" laughed and walked on the stone-paved streets, and the houses on both sides were blazing. Countless cowardly people are running around in front of you, like a rabbit that sees only a tiger.

Only at such a time did Wu Sangui feel that he was the king. He is the master of the world!

It's a wonderful feeling!
