Lin Xiangyu asked someone to come over and wait, and said with a smile: "A total of more than 1.5 million taels were sold, but the slave family spent more than 200,000 taels in one go."

Then take out 300,000 taels and seal it in the treasury as a ransom for the emperor.

In the end, there is a whole number of one million taels left, which is our family's net income. ”

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously while letting several favorite concubines serve and change clothes: "More than 200,000 taels, and it will be spent in one breath?" ”

"Well, the Wucheng Terracotta Division has been in charge of martial law these days, and Uncle Zhou Shou has personally stood guard there, and the slave family has to give people some hard money, otherwise they don't understand the world.

There are also more than a dozen brothels that we copied from our homes, and finally got rid of them completely. Those sisters who have regained their citizenship and freedom must give them some money to settle in.

Moreover, the slave family selected a group of smart and clever sisters and formed the Goddess Pavilion to secretly collect information for their husbands. Wouldn't it cost a lot of money to run such a secret organization? And this is not a one-shot deal, and you will have to keep throwing money into it in the future.

In addition, in order to appease the shopkeepers and men of the remaining shop properties, as well as the stewards and tenants of the various granges, the slave family gave everyone an additional three months' monthly money, and the tenants were exempted from one year's rent. Moreover, the tenants' previous debts have all been written off.

In short, a sum of money in the east and a stroke in the west, more than 200,000 taels will be spent in a while. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Okay, money is a bastard, you can still earn it if you spend it." I deliberately left a group of Wang Zhen's cronies before and did not raid their homes. Just in case we are short of money one day, we can copy another batch at any time.

In addition, you shall take out another 200,000 taels from the remaining one million taels and make some new clothes, some new jewelry, and some new toys for your mother, and your fifteen sisters, and the prince and princess.

We can't patronize the country and the people, but make ourselves miserable. ”

"Oh, is it so good, my husband is really the most generous and considerate slave owner in the world, and our sisters have kowtowed to my husband."

As he spoke, several of the beauties present were about to kneel. Zhu Qiyu hurriedly waved his hand: "That's it, the lives of the widows are in your hands, it's not good for you."

I don't want anything else, as long as you don't feed me medicine, I will feel great and grateful. ”

As soon as Zhu Qiyu's words fell, Duyu walked in with a bowl of sobering medicinal porridge. Hearing this, Twilight stood there awkwardly, neither advancing nor retreating.

The two sides looked at each other for a long time, and Zhu Qiyu had to slap himself in the face: "Hey, I'll just say casually, hey, hey, hey, mouth-to-mouth feed." There is a beautiful woman to serve, even if it is poison, I am willing to eat. ”

When the women heard this, they became enthusiastic again.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, the four Ming army camps outside the city were in full swing.

There were more than 200,000 Ming troops outside the city, divided into three batches. Today 100,000 men will go out to camp, and tomorrow another 100,000 will go into battle.

During the day, 200,000 people were responsible for taking turns to attack the Warat camp, and at night, 20,000 or 30,000 people were responsible for night attacks.

For twelve hours a day, three groups of Ming troops put pressure on the Warat army without interruption. According to the requirements of the new monarch, the Ming army needed ten days to completely wear out the enemy's physical strength and will.

Zhu Qiyu took Xu Yongning and Li Xuan to the head of Xizhimen City early under the support of a thousand guards to watch the movement of the army.

Since the destruction of Polo's army, the two sides have not fought again. Taking advantage of this time, the Ming court concentrated its efforts and created more chariots, firearms, crossbows and other ordnance. Therefore, as soon as the Ming army came out of the camp, they quickly formed three phalanxes with chariots.

Each phalanx numbered more than 30,000 people, and was composed of cavalry, heavy infantry, musketeers, and artillerymen. It's still the old rule, with artillery, bed crossbows, and muskets to form a three-layer fire cover, far, middle, and near, just waiting for the Warat cavalry to hit the muzzle.

However, this time is different from before, if the Warat cavalry does not take the initiative to attack, the three phalanxes of the Ming army will turn into corners of each other and slowly move in the direction of the Warat camp.

Looking at the strict and orderly actions of the Ming army, Zhu Qiyu nodded again and again on the city tower, and couldn't stop praising it: "Sure enough, the Ming army is not satisfied with the salary, and the full salary is invincible."

The well-fed Ming army, coupled with sufficient baggage supplies, and fierce generals who have fought for many years, makes people feel a sense of security when they look at it. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Qiyu immediately complained to the two princes on the left and right: "You said that in the Ming army, the one with the most adequate and timely salary is Jinyiwei.

But there are 150,000 Jinyi guards, and when it comes to life and death, they can't fight at all. If I had taken their salaries and distributed them to the 150,000 elite border troops, my generals would have already brought the heads of Yexian to me as balls to kick. Ah, what a sin. ”

Xu Yongning and Li Xuan even nodded vigorously on the side, expressing their agreement with Xinjun's opinion.

That is, he is surrounded by his own henchmen, and if someone else stands aside, Zhu Qiyu will never dare to say such a thing. If the news of his desire to do something to Jinyiwei spreads, it will be fatal. It is not easy for Jinyi Wei to kill the enemy, but it may not be ambiguous when engaging in infighting.

can't just complain, Zhu Qiyu didn't continue the topic, and instead asked Xu Yongning: "Dingguo Gong, what do you say about our formation?" ”

Xu Yongning said with a smile: "Your Majesty's strategic adjustment should be based on Wu Zixu's strategy of 'three divisions are tired'. Let the Ming army take turns to fight, first build their own defenses into impregnable, and then bombard the enemy camp with artillery.

Anyway, we have sufficient supplies, and if Varat does not take the initiative to fight, our artillery will continue to bombard, bombarding during the day and at night, and then bombing again during the night.

Until the enemy is completely exhausted, let's fight again. ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled and nodded, and asked Li Xuan again, "What does Cao Guogong think?" ”

Li Xuan replied: "Weichen basically agrees with Dingguogong's statement, but there is a slight difference between the minister's idea and Dingguogong. ”

"Cao Guogong will talk about it."

Li Xuan continued: "Wu Zixu's strategy of 'three divisions are tired' is also modeled after the 'three divisions and four armies' strategy of Xun Gang, the general of the Jin Kingdom.

The minister felt that His Majesty's current deployment was more like Xun Gang's original 'three points and four armies' strategy.

Xun Gang divided the upper army, the middle army, the lower army, and the new army of the Jin State into three parts, and took advantage of the disadvantage that the Chu army came from afar, the soldiers were tired, and the supply was insufficient, and the Chu army was consumed in turn. Once this strategy was implemented, it worked wonders, so much so that the Jin state once regained its hegemony.

Now our Ming Dynasty's situation is very similar, it is also a great loss of national strength, and it has been invaded by a strong enemy. And His Majesty also divided the four battalions of the army outside the city into three, attacked in turn, and took turns to rest.

After this battle, the Ming Dynasty will also be prosperous again, and His Majesty will also achieve a thousand years of hegemony. It can be seen that in the darkness of history, there is also a reincarnation of providence. ”

Li Xuan's sycophant shot was so good, Zhu Qiyu listened to Li Xuan's words, and nodded even harder and praised: "Okay, good, the virtuous brother is worthy of being the descendant of the King of Qiyang, he is really a family scholar, and he is quite insightful in military affairs." ”

Here, Zhu Qiyu took his two cousins, pulling around, leisurely. Zhu Qizhen and Yexian over there didn't have such a leisurely mood, and a group of upper-class magnates and generals of Wara got together and quarreled in order to deal with the enemy.
