Chapter 399: The Decisive Battle of the Hetao

Hu Renzhi smiled bitterly: "Holy Lord, you are a troubled grass people. ”

"Bold!" Gao Qi said angrily, "How can you talk to the Lord Banzai." ”

"Gao Companion, are you itchy again?" Chongzhen said, "Do you want to be beaten again?" ”

Gao Qiqian was so frightened that he quickly retracted, and he didn't dare to say half a word more, lest he say the wrong thing again, otherwise Long Live Lord would really be angry, at least not really angry now.

Chongzhen said again: "Hu Renzhi, I won't embarrass you, you just have to tell the truth." ”

"Grass People's Command." Hu Renzhi said truthfully, "Among these treasures, purple gold and horseshoe gold are the most valuable, whether they are in Yunnan or transferred to Jiangnan, they can be worth the same price." ”

"But treasures such as rhinoceros horn, ivory, pearl agate, jadeite cinnabar and amber are two completely different prices in Yunnan and shipped to Jiangnan.

Chongzhen smiled and said, "Then you can tell me a rough idea." ”

Hu Renzhi pondered for a moment and said: "It is worth a maximum of 30 million taels in Yunnan, and if it is transported back to Jiangnan and cleared once, it will be worth about 50 million taels, but if it is extended to fifty years and shipped slowly, it will be worth at least 100 million taels of silver!" ”

Hearing this, Chongzhen also had a rough idea in his heart, and there was no problem in selling 50 million taels.

As for the slow shipment to 50 years or even hundreds of years, there is no need for this.

At that moment, Chongzhen asked Hu Renzhi: "Are you Wang and Hu concurrently in the jewelry business?" ”

"Back to the saint, our Hu family and Wang family are also in the jewelry business." When Hu Renzhi heard this, his heart couldn't help but jump wildly, this is really not calm, this is a treasure worth 50 million.

"Okay, I'll leave this treasure to the two of you." After saying this, Chongzhen said, "For a price of 50 million taels of silver, I can also send troops to escort the caravan of your two families back to Nanjing." ”

With such a large batch of treasures, the two caravans of Wang Hu alone would definitely not be able to protect them.

"On behalf of the Hu family and the Wang family, the grass people would like to thank the saint Longen." Hu Renzhi was overjoyed and knelt on the ground.

This is really unexpected, the Holy Lord would hand over such a large batch of treasures to the two of them to deal with, although it is not easy to deal with such a large batch of treasures, but losing money will definitely not lose money.

Even if it is a conservative estimate, this order can earn at least two million taels.

If the operation is done well, it is not impossible to earn five million taels.

After all, there are a lot of rare treasures in this batch of treasures, which are priceless.

Hu Renzhi left with a thousand thanks, and Zhu Cijiong said a little unwillingly: "Father, looking at Hu Renzhi like this, 50 million and 20,000 must still be earned, and the profit is not small, why don't we send troops to send these treasures back to Nanjing, and then hand them over to the Internal Affairs Office for bidding?" Wouldn't that sell for more silver? ”

"Jiong'er, my father will teach you another truth today." Chongzhen said solemnly, "A person's cognition must be marginal, no matter how knowledgeable you are, but there are always things in the world that you don't know, so don't be delusional about omniscience, professional things must be handed over to professional people to do." ”

"Cook, leave it to the man."

"Raise the horses and leave them to the grooms."

"See a doctor, hand it over to Lang Zhong to see."

"When you do business, leave it to the businessman."

After a pause, Chongzhen continued: "Jiong'er, one day in the future, you will become the king of a foreign vassal country, so as a king, you can't just stare at such a small profit, you can't just see that you can earn an extra one million taels or two million taels after transporting these treasures back to Nanjing, you have to see the sunk cost of dealing with this matter." ”

"Sunk costs?" Zhu Cijiong was a little confused, why didn't he understand it?

Chongzhen gave an example: "If you are in charge of this matter, do you have to keep an eye on these treasures all the time?" If there is a theft in the middle of the journey, I'm sure it's going to happen, and then you have to investigate? Surveys take time, and processing findings takes even more time, and it can also take your energy. ”

"I've finally returned to Nanjing, and there will only be more to come."

"Don't think that handing over this batch of treasures to the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be over, the Ministry of Internal Affairs also has a lot of things on hand, and they also need to spend a lot of time and energy to help you deal with this batch of treasures, and then there will be theft of so many personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, will one or several of these treasures be kept for themselves?"

"Then it's even more troublesome to bid, it's not a treasure or two."

"This is more than 10,000 pieces, hundreds of thousands of rare treasures."

"Wealth is moving, and dealing with these treasures is far more complicated than you think."

"With this time and energy, how many national affairs can you handle?"

Speaking of this, Chongzhen said: "This is the case with this batch of treasures, and the same is true for governing the country, professional things should be handed over to professional people to do, so that you can save time and govern the country efficiently." ”

"Erchen understood." Zhu Cijiong said suddenly, "So my father handed over the affairs of the court to the cabinet with full powers." ”

"The children can be taught." Chongzhen said happily, "Your father, Emperor Gao, I don't want to learn from Emperor Taizu Gao, I sleep on the fourth watch and get up on the fifth watch every day, and I can't do anything a day, just thinking about reviewing the minister's recitals." ”

"Your father, I have to spare all my time and all my energy."

"Committed to fighting, committed to recruiting rebellion and expanding territory for the Ming Dynasty."

Speaking of this, he said: "When it comes to fighting, your father and I are professional. ”

"Erchen understood." Zhu Cijiong smacked and said, "In the future, the sons will also learn from your father, the emperor, hand over the government to the ministers, and hand over all the professional affairs to professional people, and the sons and daughters will only lead the troops to fight and expand the territory." ”

"Yes, expanding the territory is what the emperor and the king should do." Chongzhen smiled, raised his head and looked to the north, as if he could see Sichuan thousands of miles away through the void.

Originally, I thought that after pacifying Shadingzhou, I easily cleaned up Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan.

But now it seems that there is not enough time, because it is already late September, and the preparations for the conquest of Zhang Xianzhong are almost until the end of November, and then the march will be at least two months, and the war will be six months.

This time, it will be directly delayed to July and August next year.

This will definitely not work, at that time, Jiannu and Pseudo-Shun have already finished fighting.

So I can only wait for the opportunity to free up my hands to clean up Zhang Xianzhong in the future.

Fortunately, Yang Zhan played quite well in Sichuan, didn't Qin Liangyu say that Yang Zhan had already hit Meizhou last time? It seems to be the case in history, Zhang Xianzhong gathered an army of more than 100,000 and prepared to return to Wuchang, but was defeated by Yang Zhan at Peng Chuankou, driven to northern Sichuan, and then defeated by Haoge's Qing army.

The worldline of this world has been changed beyond recognition.

Hauge is already dead, and it is even more impossible for Hauge's army to enter Sichuan.

Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong will not be killed by Yabulan's arrow again, and Yang Zhan will not necessarily be murdered by his subordinates, so let this fateful opponent be entangled for a few more years.

It's the battle of Tumut between Pseudo-Shun and Jiannu, I don't know what the result is?

But from the perspective of time, it should almost be decided that the winner should be decided, right?

……

"Ahh Ahh ”

Dolgon suddenly felt an itch in his nose and sneezed three times in a row.

"Master, it's cold, quickly put on the big coat." Hou Fangyu hurriedly brought a white fox fur and put it on Dolgon's body intimately.

Dorgon didn't feel it at all.

Dolgon's full attention was focused on the river beach ahead.

On the river beach, I saw the horse infantry army of the puppet Shun army wading across the river.

After nearly half a year of confrontation with the puppet Shun army in Junzijin, from the beginning of April to the end of September, more than 100 battles were fought in the middle, and today finally ushered in the final decisive battle.

It's time to divide the winners and losers, because the Eight Banners warriors are already tired.

What's more, Mo Nan will soon enter winter, and the weather will not allow the war to drag on any longer.

Before this, every time the Qing army wanted to seek a decisive battle, the puppet Shun always stuck to the opposite bank of the camp and could not come out, and the Qing army tried to cross the Yellow River several times to launch a strong attack, but was beaten back by the puppet Shun army.

But this time, the puppet Shun army took the initiative to cross the river and launch an attack.

Dolgon was naturally in this regard, and immediately ordered the Qing army to line up to meet the attack.

Hong Chengchou was inevitably a little worried about this, and said: "Master, the pseudo-shun has been a shrinking turtle for six months, no matter how our Qing soldiers provoked and fought before, they couldn't hold out, but why did they take the initiative to cross the river to attack today?" The minion suspects that there is another mystery in it, whether it is the master or the need to be careful. ”

"What's the other mystery? What can be the mystery? "Worried about ambushes?" The terrain of Junzijin is open, and you can see dozens of miles away at a glance, is it possible that the pseudo-Shun ambush soldiers can still be killed from the ground? ”

"It's certainly impossible." Hong Chengchou said, "But there may be one or two powerful killing moves." ”

"Hmm." Dolgon said thoughtfully, "Hengjiu, you mean that we have a flintlock pistol as a killer weapon, and the pseudo-shun may have the same killer weapon?" ”

"Anyway, it's not a big mistake to be careful." Hong Chengchou said.

Dorgon unconsciously tapped his riding boots with his horsewhip, and after a moment of silence, said, "Then let's change the way we play." ”

"The Eight Banners Han Army will not participate in this decisive battle first, just stay in the rear and stand by, and the decisive battle with the puppet Shun will be handed over to the Green Battalion, Eight Banners Manchuria and Eight Banners Mongolia, and the strength should be enough, after all, it is a half-crossing attack."

Speaking of this, he said: "In this way, even if there is a real accident on the battlefield, the Eight Banners Han Army can support it in time, and the Eight Banners Manchuria, Eight Banners Mongolia and the Green Battalion can also be safely withdrawn." ”

Just before sending troops to Monan, Dolgon reorganized all the surrendered troops into the Green Battalion, with a number of 120,000 soldiers, of which 60,000 Green Battalion soldiers were responsible for garrisoning the place.
