Chapter 479: Cash
Haisheng took the wind bowl into his arms, and then ran away, squeezed into the crowd, and vented all the grievances he had suffered over the years.
Qi Chu returned to the boat with Xu Jinyu and Tianyin Shensuan, thinking that the store would not be open today. As a result, the boss specially prepared dinner for the three of them, purely to thank Qi Chu.
In the room, the man brought a copper pot, charcoal underneath, and plates and bowls.
"Shabu hot pot!" Xu Jinyu actually knew that this was shabu shabu, and then she looked at Tianyin Shen and said: "Senior, sit down, I can do it when you sit down, or it's rude." ”
Tianyin Shenshu sat down with a smile, and Qi Chu beckoned the halberd to come and sit. I was really hungry after a busy night, and the table was full of mutton. Seeing that the guy was busy, the charcoal reflected his face, and he smiled and said, "You can also sit down and eat together." ”
The guy smiled and said, "I'm going out to accompany my daughter-in-law and children, and it's rare to have a holiday today." ”
Qi Chu nodded, and the man closed the door before leaving.
The water in the copper pot on the table was bubbling, and Xu Jinyu poured a plate of mutton into it, and muttered in his mouth: "Hurry up, hurry up." ”
The meal was very happy, and it was not until late in the evening that everyone went back to the house to sleep. Qi Chu saw through the window that there were still sporadic people on the street holding wine bottles in their hands, hugging their shoulders and staggering towards their homes.
From now on, they can live a stable life, but no one knows that Penglai Water City will face even greater danger next. If the Divine Beast Kun encounters the Weathered Peng, the kinetic energy of the wings will destroy the entire city in an instant.
When the sun rose the next day, Qi Chu came to Lord Chen's room to untie his sleeping hole.
After sleeping for almost two days, my strength has basically recovered, and although the wound on my body is still slightly painful, it is no longer serious.
Lord Chen looked at Qi Chu fiercely, "What good things have you done!"
"Isn't it a good thing to help you wipe out all the pirates?" Qi Chu said with a smile
Master Chen slammed out of bed, "What did you say?"
"yes, is there a problem?"
"Impossible!" Lord Chen killed the Japanese who had been fighting for many years, and was completely wiped out by Qi Chu in less than two days.
"If you don't believe me, I can show you there. ”
Qi Chu made a please clean up, and Lord Chen didn't care about washing his face, so he pushed the door and left. He wants to see what a total annihilation it is!
Qi Chu took him out, and when the bearded and other soldiers outside saw Lord Chen wake up, not only did they not show a smile on their faces, but they cried like a dead father. However, seeing that Lord Chen and the emperor were immeasurable, I also admired it in my heart.
When he arrived at the river, looking at the burned to ashes on both banks, even Lord Chen, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, couldn't help but shudder. It's been a fight!
"How many casualties do you say our side has suffered from casualties?" Lord Chen was so angry that he was taken away from his command, and then let his brother go to death!
"Not a single soldier was injured. Qi Chu grabbed him and jumped over the river.
"Really?"
"You don't have any jokes. ”
Qi Chu told him the story of the war carefully, and after finishing speaking, Lord Chen seemed to have died his father.
Won the battle but was not happy, because the barracks were burned. This method of killing one thousand enemies and self-inflicting eight hundred losses Lord Chen disagreed, and the only consolation was that his brothers did not suffer casualties.
"I know what you're worried about, but your worries are clearly unnecessary. Qi Chu said
"You are reckless, you don't understand politics at all, although you have won the battle now, but without the military camp, the court is not just to kill me. Master Chen analyzed it with his previous experience.
"Remember the three promises I said?" Qi Chu asked
"Of course, remember that the first big victory in this battle doubled the strength of the army. Although there is not a single soldier wounded, it has not doubled. "At the beginning, Lord Chen had illusions about Qi Chu, because what the other party said was too attractive. But now the fight is over, and the other party's words have not come true.
"I ask you if you will die in battle. Qi Chu said
"Of course, once you succeed, you will be able to dry up your bones, which means the cruelty of war. Master Chen replied.
"So the rest of the people are the same as you think, and it's almost an immutable truth that people die in war. So how many people should die normally?" Qi Chu asked with a smile
"I seem to see what you mean. ”
"Then tell me about it. ”
"You asked me to lie to the imperial court about the military situation, just say that the Japanese are fierce, our army fought to the death to kill the enemy, and completely annihilated the enemy, but suffered heavy losses, and reported the number of casualties. "Lord Chen
"You're not too stupid, the imperial court learned that there were heavy casualties, and Penglai Water City is a military fortress, so it will definitely increase its troops, how many troops do you say it will send?"
"Double?"
"It depends on how you fool the court, the bigger the fool, the more troops will be sent. Qi Chu used the word flickering, and Lord Chen understood it.
Yes, anyway, I am for the people, and there are many garrisons in Penglai Water City, which can not only ensure the safety of one party, but also help the people to fish and work. He was now starting to think about how to fool the court.
"What about the rebuilding of Water City?" Lord Chen felt that Qi Chu was not talking big at the beginning, but had a basis and a plan.
"The barracks were burned, do you think the imperial court should be rebuilt?"
"Yes, it will definitely be rebuilt, but how can we expand the imperial court?"
"You don't need to talk to the court about the expansion at all, you can use the silver to expand. The sky is high here, the emperor is far away, and the imperial court can still care how big a military camp you really build?"
"It makes sense, but it's difficult to let Shen Cheng come with the money in person and reward me in person. ”
"It's not difficult at all, Shen has always been ruthless, but he is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and he also hates the Japanese Kou. Now that it is known that the military camp has been burned, the silver issued by the imperial court is used to rebuild the military camp. He also knew that the silver would be withheld layer by layer, but if there was no barrier of Penglai Water City, the Japanese would definitely lose if they committed another offense, and then the capital would suffer. You said that for such a big thing, would he come in person?"
"That makes sense, but he doesn't need to reward me in person, right? ”
"I heard that Liu Yiba is a relative of Shen Yiba, so you said that in this war, Liu Yiba sacrificed his life for the final victory. Did you say Shen always wanted to thank you?"
"I don't understand this, although Liu Yiba's sacrifice is a glorious thing, he doesn't need to thank me. ”
"Hey, you're not stupid, but you're a little sluggish. Liu Yiba is dead, so will his credit become Shen's?"
"Oh, yes! Why didn't I think of that?"
At this point, Lord Chen completely believed what Qi Chu said before, although the military camp was burned, it seemed to be a good thing.
"Who the hell are you?" Master Chen felt that it must not be easy for someone to be able to see the situation clearly and make judgments in such a short period of time, and to make accurate judgments.
"The surname is Qi, the name is Chu, and like you, they are all people who hate the Japanese Kou. Qi Chu said
"Streamer Child?!"
"That's me. ”
"Jade flute pile moon, people will win the sky!"
"Hmm"
"Hey, you're really as unreasonable as others say!"
"I'm reasonable. ”
