A few days later, Qin Ling took Ma Biao to the camp of the Southern Army on the bank of the Hunhe River.

At first glance, he knew that he was a big man from the north, he looked like he was in his twenties, and he could see from his face and temperament that he was an upright person, coupled with his tall and big figure, which made people feel quite reliable.

"The lowly Ma Biao has seen a few generals."

Chen Ce soothed: "The old man once cooperated with your grandfather, General Ma Fang, to conquer the enemy, and had several encounters with your father, General Ma Lin, and it is very gratifying to see the son of the old man today."

Ma Biao replied: "It's the incompetence of the younger generation that has insulted my grandfather's prestige."

"Alas, it is the huge strength of Jiannu, and the more than 10,000 people of the Kaiyuan Army will only fight when they encounter the 60,000 troops of Jiannu......"

"Definitely."

Ma Biao suddenly interrupted the words of Chen Ce, the commander of the Southern Army and the veteran general, and all the generals looked surprised.

He said loudly: "In fact, the strength of Jiannu is indeed slightly inferior to my Ming elite, but the Kaiyuan Army is indeed not much capable of fighting, and the perennial business has been abolished......"

Wang Hongyu's eyes lit up, this sentence is okay, Ma Biao is such an upright and daring person.

"For example, in the battle of Salhu, most people paid attention to the poor timing of the troops, the improper deployment of troops and the incompetence of Yang Hao, and a few people noticed that the other side was able to successively break the strength of the elite of the three sides of Jizhen, the Kaiyuan army of the strong army defending the border of Liaodong and the Sichuan army.

But I would like to say that even if my father and General Juniper were together, they would inevitably lose to Jiannu because there was no tacit understanding between the two armies, less than half of the elite troops, and they did not know the location of the enemy army. ”

Ma Biao's heartfelt words suddenly made everyone's faces serious.

These generals of the Southern Army are not the civil officials in the temple, and they know that there is some truth in these words when they hear them.

Even if it is placed on the more than 10,000 southern troops now, the elite can fight less than 10,000. After close training, it is estimated that 20,000 Jiannu can win a miserable victory, and if they meet 60,000, they will probably be wiped out......

Moreover, it was Jiannu who always knew the location of the Ming army, and it was difficult for the Ming army to explore the location of Jiannu......

"General Ma Biao is willing to investigate Jiannu's fine work for us?"

Ma Biao looked for prestige, only to see that it was a young, handsome and sunny young military officer, and he couldn't help but instantly feel that this person was too young, right?

But if you look closely, I see that he is quite tall and heroic, he looks very powerful where he should be strong, his smile is not only warm but also firm, and even his eyes reveal a confidence that others do not have.

"Although I have this heart, because I am a sin general, I am humble and light."

"Why should the husband look ahead and look backwards, since he can have the courage to tell the truth, then take action."

Wang Hongyu's words made Ma Biao's heart move, but now most people are scolding his father for being incompetent, and he is also regarded as a sinner......

"Let everyone see that General Marin is not a criminal minister, and let Jiannu and them pay a heavy price!"

Wang Hongyu walked to the center of the big account and said loudly: "Yuan Jingluo has allowed our southern army to inspect the outside of Shenyang City, and specially deal with Jiannu. Now someone in Liaozhen may be engaged in smuggling, maybe ......"

Glancing at Ma Biao, the son of the chief soldier who had lived in the border pass since childhood, he smiled and said: "Liaozhen is engaged in trade, who can know better than the Ma family who sits in the north and south passes of Kaiyuan?" Of course I can find out! ”

Sure enough, he is a straight man, and he is also cheerful in speaking and doing things.

Chen Ce said: "Okay! Then please follow General Zhou and President Wang Qian to take charge of this matter. ”

Ma Biao was temporarily inconvenient to be given a formal position, so as a member of the intelligence department, he temporarily took the lead in investigating the surrounding refugees, spies, and smuggling.

Wang Hongyu was finally able to spare a little time from his busy schedule of training and investigation to continue to promote the internal strife of the Donglin Party.

Meng Biao in the capital replied to the letter, saying that Zhao Nanxing had served as the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry, and now there was news that he was going to be promoted to the imperial history of the left capital. The court knew that the Donglin Party was going to be rectified. Some people took aim at the first assistant Fang Congzhe and were ready to take action against him.

These news were obtained by Meng Biao from the market, and also introduced by Wei's father-in-law and nephew when he came to the store to discuss the "business plan".

The shop is going well, and the clocks and honeycomb coal are selling well.

The former was rushed to order by large households, and the orders were scheduled until February next year. Honeycomb coal is especially popular in winter, when it is not much more expensive than charcoal.

But there are also some big merchants who follow suit, and also rush to buy crushed coal from various markets around the area, and follow the imitation. If it weren't for the summer when hundreds of thousands of catties of crushed coal were collected at a low price, it is estimated that even the raw materials would not be available now

All right~

Wang Hongyu thought about it, but now he doesn't have enough strength to engage in monopolies or patents, and he can't stop others from copying.

But I have a business plan~

Crushed coal, honeycomb coal, coal furnace transformation, this is an industrial chain.

This year, crushed coal is cheap, honeycomb coal is expensive, and money is made from the second link.

Next year, other businesses are ready to enter, and crushed coal will definitely be expensive. Therefore, the cost of honeycomb coal will rise.

But I just don't raise the price, but also reduce the price, and sell it completely at cost price.

Because next year, we will go through the third link, transforming the coal furnace to make money.

At present, each family still uses a carbon stove to cook rice and kang, and next year a construction team will be formed to specialize in flue renovation and coal stove building.

This way you can make money again.

In the third year, the merchants followed the trend of coal furnaces, and they must have some bases at that time, which could be used to build water conservancy coal mines and reduce the cost of crushed coal mining.

The price of crushed coal, honeycomb coal, and coal furnace transformation remains unchanged, but its own crushed coal production has increased significantly, and it has made money from the first link.

In the next year, when coal production is high and prices are falling, it will be possible to promote large-scale smelting and steam engines that fuel and power coal.

The market is all in the "play", in order to make inventions and make money~

also received a message from my brother-in-law Liu Shimin.

The uncle has lived in the palace for a long time, and has served the three emperors of Wanli, Taichang, and Tianqi, and his information is not much, but there is important content every time.

When I opened the envelope, I saw the good words of my uncle's hand, which made people feel elegant and easy-going when they saw the words.

Well?

But as soon as he saw the content, Wang Hongyu frowned slightly.

…… Wang An served as the eunuch in charge of the seal, and all the news inside and outside the palace was reported to Donglin......

…… Gonggong Wei has changed his name to Wei Zhongxian, and has eradicated the Wei Dynasty to win the favor of the Hakka clan......

…… Wang An was already alert to Gonggong Wei, and began to find various things to embarrass him, and he also had the intention of expelling the Hakka family......

…… The so-called public affairs of the imperial court are actually chicken feathers, and Donglin chooses targets everywhere to make things happen and then attacks them in groups, so that everyone makes great contributions and makes a good reputation......

…… The brother-in-law stabilized some of the neutral ministers of the DPRK for the Duke of Wei. But the other party has eyeliner other than Wang An in the palace, if he hadn't stayed for a long time and saw the clues, Gonggong Wei might have been locked up by the Donglin Party......

Hey, that's right.

Wei Zhongxian fought him one by one, he was very powerful, but after all, he had been in the East Palace and the Jiazi Library for a long time, and he lacked the assistance of the old people in the palace.
