Chapter 118 The Maid of Suiyuxuan
To be honest, this number really shocked Zhang Fan. He originally thought that these Eight Banners masters would only be more than 100,000 at most, but he didn't expect that there would be so many.
Looking at the dense list of names on the screen in front of him, Zhang Fan couldn't help feeling short of breath.
Now I only need to give an order to make this group of people fall to the ground and wipe them out!
At this moment, Zhang Fan felt for the first time that the power of life and death was in my hands.
Only by standing on the top of the mountain can we understand the mystery of this.
Zhang Fan was a little hesitant about how to deal with these people. Originally, he wanted to kill them with one strike, but it was difficult to maximize profits by doing so. After all, free labor is hard to come by these days. If he just killed them like this, it would be a waste of bullets.
, and even the disposal of the corpse is a big problem.
How many incinerators and how long will it take to dispose of half a million corpses?
How about sending it to the Northeast to consolidate the fertility of the black soil?
While thinking about it, Zhang Fan wrote down several options on the paper.
1. Use as a slave, 2. Use as fertilizer, 3. Kill directly!
It's hard to choose.
"Commander, Zhou Zhonghong requested communication, would you like to receive it?"
Just when Zhang Fan was struggling with the options in front of him, Zhou Zhonghong's communication request suddenly came through.
During the modernization training, Zhang Fan had taught the other party about the functions of the telephone. After learning about the magic of the telephone, Zhou Zhonghong was so excited that he didn't sleep for a whole day and night.
After Zhang Fan left for the expedition, Zhou Zhonghong usually contacted him by phone if he had anything to do with him.
"I heard that you entered Beijing?"
As soon as the communication was connected, Zhou Zhonghong's surprised voice sounded in Zhang Fan's ears.
"Well, we just captured it and everyone here has been arrested. You should come over as soon as possible."
Now the whole capital is in chaos, including post-war reconstruction, people's livelihood management, policies and even the founding of the country, all of which have to be discussed with Zhou Zhonghong.
"I understand. I'll leave right away. By the way...you didn't kill the ministers in the court, did you?"
When he said this, Zhang Fan could clearly feel a hint of nervousness in Zhou Zhonghong's tone.
"No, I just arrested their family. I haven't figured out how to deal with it yet. Why do you want to plead for them?"
Zhou Zhonghong rarely asked about Zhang Fan's affairs, especially when it came to dealing with the Qing Dynasty. Zhang Fan had emphasized to him from the beginning that he would definitely settle the blood debt of the year after he entered the capital.
Why is this person going to regret it now?
"Can you... wait until I arrive before dealing with them? I want to see someone..."
Zhou Zhonghong did not plead for mercy as Zhang Fan expected, but made another request.
"Who?...Forget it, let's wait until you come."
Zhang Fan couldn't help but be surprised to hear that there was someone else he wanted to see. At the same time, driven by curiosity, he instinctively wanted to ask who the other person was, but as soon as he spoke, he realized something was wrong.
He has no control over who he wants to see, and he has a lot of things waiting for him to deal with, so he can't talk any more.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Fan immediately investigated the bills for mobilizing soldiers to raid homes and the Qing treasury.
It has to be said that the national treasury during the Yongzheng period was really poor. The entire national treasury only contained over ten million taels of silver and nearly one million taels of gold.
It seems that I was still short last time.
Looking at the details of the inventory, Zhang Fan suddenly felt a little regretful. If he had known it, he would have ordered more last time.
However, although the treasury was not very satisfactory, there was a lot gained from the house raids.
The combined wealth of the princes, nobles and disciples of the Eight Banners in the entire inner city actually has nearly 20 million taels of silver and nearly 1.5 million taels of gold. This harvest is really surprising.
As for gold, Zhang Fan simply put it into the system with a wave of his hand. In this way, his point reserves exceeded one billion for the first time!
As for silver, after Zhang Fan thought about it for a while, he decided to put it in the treasury first. The current mainstream currency is still mainly silver. If he wants to implement currency reform in the future, then the reserve of silver will inevitably be indispensable. www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
If money cannot be exchanged for silver, then in the eyes of others, it is just like waste paper. Isn’t that how the banknotes come from?
After dealing with these things, the bright moon in the sky had already hung up, and I looked at the time and it was already about three o'clock in the morning.
But at this time, Zhang Fan was not sleepy at all. When he thought that he would have the final say in this huge Forbidden City, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
Forget it, let’s take advantage of the night to see the night view. Very few people can see the night view here.
Walking into the back garden, Zhang Fan couldn't see the scenery clearly due to the darkness at this moment, but it was precisely because of the concealment of the night that this huge imperial garden was given a mysterious veil.
Zhang Fan stopped and walked along the way, and would sit down when he encountered a resting place, and every time this happened, the future scene would always appear in his mind.
What kind of country do you want to create?
Zhang Fan once thought that the emperor was far away from him, at least not someone he could touch in the short term, but now it was as if he just blinked and the time of choice came.
Just as Zhang Fan was thinking about what he needed to prepare for the founding of the country, a sudden noise in the distance interrupted his thoughts.
"Brother, officer and soldier, please beg you. Our young master has a high fever right now. If we don't call in a doctor, we may not be able to hold on anymore!"
When Zhang Fan got closer, he heard the cry of a woman.
Wait, woman? Isn’t this place under martial law? Why would anyone come out?
Zhang Fan immediately looked around, and then realized that he had wandered from the Imperial Garden to the Harem.
This...he swore to God, he really had no other thoughts at all, it was purely an accident!
Walking in the direction of the source of the sound, Zhang Fan soon came to a place that made him somewhat unexpected.
Broken Yuxuan!
He didn't know if it was a coincidence or if it was his own bad luck. Looking at the maid and maid in front of him who were crying in tears, Zhang Fan recognized their identities almost at a glance.
The scheming girl Huan Bi and the anxious Liu Zhu!
At this moment, the two people were kneeling on the ground at the entrance of the palace and begging the mobilization soldiers standing guard at the door. However, in the face of the two people's cries, the mobilization soldiers did not even look at them.
This means that they have little strength, otherwise if their behavior is too extreme, they may be shot.
"Meet the Commander!"
As Zhang Fan walked out of the shadows, the mobilized soldiers performed a standard military salute the moment they saw Zhang Fan.
"Well, what's going on?"
Chapter completed!
