Chapter 52: Goodbye Blue Jade

When He Xi saw Wu Gao, he was extremely happy, and hurriedly led Wu Gao to sit down. A few pleasantries. He Xi went straight to the point and said, "Originally." Wu Hou, who has come from afar, should let you rest for a few days. But now there is an urgent matter to be entrusted to Wu Hou, and Wu Hou can only take care of one or two. ”

Wu Gao immediately got up and said, "Your Excellency has an order, even if you give it." ”

Judging from Wu Gao's attitude, Zhu Yuanzhang's choice of person is good, although this person is so thoughtful that he is almost timid, with a feeling of persecution paranoia. But let him be arrogant, he can't be domineering, and it is impossible to compete for power with He Xi.

Maybe it's not suitable to be a first-line leader, without him, thinking too much. After all, when marching and fighting, sometimes it is necessary to be decisive. Thinking too much is a bad thing.

He Xi didn't know what Wu Gao had thought in his heart. said directly: "The Marquis of Yongchang wants to fight against Japan, just in the near future. I have some things and need to make a trip to Goryeo. After the death of General Ye Lao, there was no one in Liaodong. Wu Hou came just in time. The 100,000 troops and millions of living beings in Liaodong were entrusted to the Hou Ye. ”

When Wu Gao heard this, there seemed to be a spring on his buttocks, and with a "bump" sound, he stood up and said, "Absolutely not." The last general is too young to take on this heavy responsibility. ”

He Xi said indifferently: "Your Majesty asked you to come, just to show trust in you." Don't shirk. ”

The reason why He Xi said this was that, on the one hand, he believed in Zhu Yuanzhang's appointment and knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had the wisdom to know people. On the other hand, it is also an appointment to the surrounding environment of Liaodong. Now the threat to Liaodong comes only from the north. And the Tartars need to go south, and the first thing they have to face is Changchun Fort. The second thing to face is Daning Town, of course. It's not that the Tartars didn't have the possibility of bypassing Changchunbao and heading south.

After all, on the Northeast Plain, the Great Wall was not built. There are so many places to take a detour.

But even so?

Changchun Fort is difficult for them to capture easily. Detour south, Changchun Fort will also sound an alarm, the Liaodong army has only been assembled, with the strength of the Tartars now, who wins and who loses, it is still very difficult to say. Not to mention that the Tartars are still licking their wounds.

As expected, it will not go south.

As long as Wu Gao is not a fool and doesn't be too good at making great achievements, he generally can't make any mistakes.

He Xi said a few words to Wu Gao, and he judged that Wu Gao was not the kind of person who was arrogant and underestimated the enemy.

Wu Gao wanted to refuse, but when He Xi said so, he could only agree.

Immediately, He Xi took Wu Gao to meet the senior officers of Liaodong. After explaining, he arranged the last military task, that is, Liaodong dispatched more than 10,000 cavalry, crossed the Changbai Mountain to the vicinity of the Tumen River estuary, and waited for the ships to respond.

This is also a strange soldier in the Blue Jade plan.

He Xi also did it earlier.

It was none other than someone else who arranged to lead this strange army. It is love to be Ye Shen.

For Ye Shen to fight, He Xi was very relieved. It's just that he does something that needs him to wipe his ass.

Immediately, He Xi left Liaodong and came to Goryeo with the fleet.

It's just that He Xi didn't know that since he left Liaodong, Wu Gao, the commander of Liaodong soldiers and horses, hadn't slept well for a long time. It seems that as soon as you close your eyes, you feel the Tartars killing. So, he quickly inspected the defense again and again, and even sent the night to go deep into the grassland many times, and even hit Changchun Fort many times.

And so on and so forth.

Anyway, I did a lot.

First, it is by nature. Second, after all, he is young, although he has a group of old generals around him, but he has never really been on the battlefield. That's why it's like this.

Fortunately, He Xi didn't go for long, and when this big battle ended, He Xi came back.

------

He Xi still got off the ship from Ganghwa Island and changed ships to land. Because this time he brought too many boats. It is also only on Ganghwa Island that has a large amount of infrastructure to dock these ships.

As soon as He Xi arrived in Kaijing, Lan Yu went out of the city to greet him.

The two returned to the city side by side, and Lan Yu asked, "Have all the various ordnance arrived?" ”

He Xi said: "It's already here." You can send someone to count more than you want. ”

Lan Yu said, "Are there enough firearms?" ”

He Xi said: "There is less gunpowder. However, as long as you have the raw materials, I brought a group of craftsmen and immediately configured them for you. ”

Lan Yu said, "It's okay. The fight has just begun, and the firearms are sufficient. But for a long time in the future, it will be fought at sea. Naval warfare takes precedence over firearms. Let's build a gunpowder factory here. ”

He Xi said: "There is no problem. ”

Lan Yu said, "How many ships?" ”

He Xi said: "More than 200 ships, it is enough for you to land in Japan." ”

Lan Yu said: "On business, I won't talk about it. What do you say about private matters? He Xi, are you worthy of me? ”

He Xi coughed twice and said, "Privately, this is a big deal." It's not good to get it out. ”

Lan Yu sneered and said, "Your mouth, if I believe you again, I am a big-headed ghost, wronged." ”

------

The two of them sat down in the study, and the others had already gone out.

He Xi said: "You have all kinds of lists-------"

Lan Yu sneered and said, "That's not what I'm talking about. If you borrow my name, give me an account. The name of my Yongchang Marquis means that if you borrow it, you can borrow it. ”

He Xi said: "One million taels." Is one million taels enough? ”

Lan Yu was stunned for a moment, a little incredulous, and said, "So much? ”

Lan Yu didn't know how much benefit He Xi had gotten from it. But when I heard a million taels, I was already shocked. One million taels is not a small amount, and the money that Lan Yu scavenged from Goryeo is only a few million taels.

Compared to fighting, Lan Yu can also rank in the top five in the whole world. But compared to making money, He Xi is certainly not worthy of lifting shoes for Wall Street bigwigs. However, playing the rest of the routines with the Chinese financial elite was enough to make Lan Yu stunned.

He Xi said: "I won't let down my friends." If there is a million taels, it is a million taels. ”

Lan Yu didn't know what to say for a while, he coughed twice, hid his shock, and said, "Which bills?" ”

He Xi said: "I'll change it for you." Just pay for it. He Xi took out a large bag and put it on the table, and said, "However, you have to use this to redeem." ”

Lan Yu opened it and took out a silver ticket, but it was a silver ticket with a denomination of five hundred taels. Lan Yu was furious, and the green tendons burst out, and said, "Are you a fool for me?" ”

He Xi said: "No. You are my accomplice. Listen to me, everyone makes money together, don't listen to me. You smash the pot, I die, and your money doesn't exist. ”

Lan Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "He Xi, don't think that you can be so arrogant when you take my money. It's a big deal, I won't fight the battle here in Goryeo, and I don't want Guogong anymore. How about swapping your necklace for a head? ”

To be honest, Lan Yu didn't think that fighting Japan would be more profitable than fighting Goryeo in the future. Money is money when you have to grasp it in your hands. Far away in the sky is just a painting cake.

He Xi said: "It's okay, but I'll make the situation clear." Hou Ye understood. ”

Immediately, He Xi told Lan Yu everything he had done in Liaodong. Finally, he said: "Master Hou rest assured. Behind the price of these silver tickets, there is the output of the entire Liaodong as collateral. If the price is collapsing. Liaodong Africa must be in turmoil. It is estimated that my head will not be there. And Hou Ye's money has naturally become waste paper. ”

"Not to mention, no one can eat such a large number of silver tickets of yours except me."

Lan Yu sneered and said, "Okay." Good. I've been calculated by you. ”

He Xi said: "How can it be counted by me." Hou Ye didn't take a look, how much silver is this? The largest denomination of silver tickets is 500 taels. There are 8,000 of them, or 4 million taels. Today, what you do can double in a year. ”

"Risk, there's risk in it. It's just a big gamble. But I don't know if you dare to bet, Master Hou, believe it or not. ”

Hearing He Xi say this, Lan Yu suddenly fell silent.

It's just that He Xi listened to Lan Yu's slightly rapid breathing, and secretly said in his heart: "He was moved." ”

This time, He Xi can be regarded as a bloody investment. I can't help but be unimpressed by Lan Yu.
