Chapter 262: Thirty Thousand Masters
Zhu Cihong and Zheng Chenggong ceremoniously entertained Zhu Yujiao. Zhu Yujiao finally came to Fujian once, so how could she do it if she didn't entertain her well? What's more, Zhu Yujiao brought a lot of silver and grain this time.
These are all things that Zhu Cihong urgently needs.
After eating, Zhu Cihong said to Zhu Yujiao: "Sister, Master occupies Guangdong and expells Shang Kexi and the Eight Great Emperor Shang, I have no opinion at all. However, it caused a lot of losses to my firm. My situation here, sister, you should know that eighty percent of the military salary depends on the commercial bank, and once the commercial bank loses money, it will be very troublesome. ”
Zhu Cihong's firm is still relatively large, much stronger than ordinary private merchants, but compared with the Eight Great Emperor Merchants, there is still a gap. Zhu Cihong is now a big family, and he has tens of thousands of elite troops to feed, and it costs money to eat and wear. The money earned by the trading house can only barely be maintained.
Chen Ji's occupation of Guangdong caused some turmoil in the trading houses, and Zhu Cihong suddenly became a little unbearable. In desperation, she wrote to Zhu Yujiao and asked her to support a little silver, grain and grass.
Zhu Yujiao said: "Brother, Guangdong has changed its master, and it is inevitable that it will suffer some turmoil, but the master has tried to avoid it. This time, all major trading houses have losses, including the White Lotus Sect. Among them, the eight imperial merchants suffered heavy losses. After this period of time, everything is fine. ”
After Chen Ji took control of Guangdong, it was Shang Kexi's family that was suppressed, as well as the business houses led by the Eight Imperial Merchants, and it was not possible to target Zhu Cihong. Zhu Cihong also knows this.
........................
Night.
Zhu Cihong, Zheng Chenggong, Wang Jiang, Chen Jinnan and others discussed the matter of sending troops to Jiangxi in the hall.
Chen Jidu took control of Guangdong, and the territory of the White Lotus Sect nearly doubled at once. Zhu Cihong is still nesting in Fujian, and he is inevitably a little anxious.
"Chen Jinnan, your intelligence information must be accurate, if there is an error, it will cause heavy losses to the soldiers of this palace. Zhu Cihong said with a serious face.
He has been the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and he has followed Chen Ji, so he knows the importance of intelligence. Sometimes, an accurate piece of intelligence can make the difference between victory and defeat in a war.
Chen Jinnan said: "Your Highness, rest assured, the Qing army garrisons in Jiangxi, who is the chief officer, our Heaven and Earth Society has roughly grasped. Although the heroes of the Heaven and Earth Society are not as good as the agents of the White Lotus Sect, they are still better than the spies of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. ”
Zhu Cihong nodded and said, "As long as there is no problem with the information of the Heaven and Earth Society, this palace will have the confidence to win this battle." The war between the White Lotus Sect and the Manchu Tartars has begun, and we are Ming orthodoxy and cannot lag behind. Before, the martial arts cultivation of the palace was a little worse, and it was not suitable to fight hard with the Manchu Qing, but now the palace is a peerless grandmaster, as long as the great grandmaster does not come out, the palace has no fear. ”
When you become a peerless grandmaster, you have the ability to protect yourself. Not afraid of the Manchus coming to behead. If the great master of the Manchu Qing Dynasty made a move, Zhu Cihong believed that Master Chen Ji would not ignore him.
Of course, it is impossible for Zhu Cihong to pin all his hopes on Chen Ji. In order to get rid of his dependence on Chen Ji, Zhu Cihong had to become a great grandmaster as soon as possible.
Zhu Cihong said to Wang Jiang: "Uncle Shi, on our side, except for the grandmaster of this palace, only you are the grandmaster of martial arts. I led the troops to the expedition, hoping that Shibo could sit in Fujian. Fujian is our old nest and cannot afford to lose. ”
Wang Jiang nodded and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely guard Fujian." ”
Zhu Cihong said: "Okay, it's decided." Half a month later, troops were sent to Jiangxi. ”
Zhu Cihong was afraid of Chen Ji's idea of beating Jiangxi. Originally, Zhu Cihong planned to send troops to Zhejiang, after all, Zhejiang is richer than Jiangxi. But Jiangxi and Guangdong are adjacent to each other, and after thinking twice, he still decided to occupy Jiangxi first.

Yao Min is a native of Zhenghuangqi, and came to live in Guangzhou City in the early years of Shunzhi. Yao Min likes martial arts, and in addition to practicing martial arts in the army, he also likes to collect martial arts cheats. There is a school in the Guangzhou Concession, and there is a unified martial arts textbook of the White Lotus Sect in it.
Yao Min had no way to enter the schools in the concession, but there were many children in Guangzhou who studied in the schools in the concession, and it was still possible to spend some money and get basic martial arts textbooks.
With hard work, Yao Min has become a first-class master.
The Manchurians were originally a privileged class in the city of Guangzhou, and Guangzhou was a treaty port with a strong commercial atmosphere, so Yao Min naturally made a fortune.
has a high and deep martial arts, and is rich and powerful. Yao Min's life was naturally very nourishing.
It's a pity that Guangdong was suddenly occupied by Chen Ji, and the wealth that they had looted was confiscated and not brought out at all.
Yao Min glanced at the clansmen around him, and his heart was shocked and sad. When the regent Dolgon entered the customs with the bannermen, he was so invincible, and he didn't expect that in less than 20 years, his noble bannermen would be driven out of Guangdong by Chen Ji, the anti-thief leader.
There are more than 30,000 bannermen in Guangzhou City.
Chen Ji did not kill them, but expelled them. Other people's banner people felt that Chen Ji was kind-hearted, after all, Chen Ji did not go on a killing spree.
But Yao Min knew that this was Chen Ji's conspiracy.
More than 30,000 banner people, not in production, are all uncles. Their existence can only add a huge burden to the Qing court. Allowing more than 30,000 people from the flag to enter Hunan alive will cause great pressure on Hunan. When the time comes, there will be great contradictions in Changsha City.
It is no joke that 30,000 "masters" suddenly entered Hunan.
Yao Min said to a banner warrior beside him: "Darhan, let the clansmen hold on." In more than an hour, we will arrive in Changsha. ”
After speaking, Yao Min glanced behind him with palpitations.
Durhan, hungry and tired, he is a warrior, and he can't hold on, let alone others. When they were deported, they only brought a day's worth of dry rations.
With the urine of the banner people, if they have nothing to eat or wear, they will go to burn and loot. It's a pity that they don't dare now. Behind them, there is a squad of special forces watching, and the leader of the team is Yu Qiu, who is known as the "God of Arrows".
As long as they dared to rob the Han people's property, they would be killed by Yu Qiu's snipers and other special combat soldiers.
Yao Min is the best of the first-class martial artists, but in Yu Qiu's eyes, he is still an ant. To kill Yao Min, Yu Qiu only needs one arrow.
Finally arrived at Changsha City.
Yao Min and Darhan both breathed a sigh of relief.
When they arrive in Changsha, they can eat and sleep well. Coming out of Guangzhou City with nothing, and being able to rush to Changsha is already their limit.
On a hill two miles away.
Yu Qiu carried a strong bow on his back, and there were twenty heavy arrows in his quiver. Behind him, there were ten special combat soldiers, each of whom was a first-class martial artist.
A round-faced special combat team member said, "I really don't understand why the sect leader didn't kill these 30,000 Manchu Qing Tartars. Let them live to Changsha, it's really cheap for them. When they entered the Central Plains, their hands were stained with the blood of the Han people. ”
Yu Qiu sneered: "A knife kill, of course, is a pleasure." But what's in it for us? 30,000 bannermen are 30,000 masters. The governor of Hunan is busy now, and I want to see how he serves these masters well. Well, after driving the 30,000 bannermen to Changsha, our mission is completed. Let's go back. ”
