There are many beauties in Shanxi, and Datong is a famous hometown of queens. It was even more amazing in the Ming Dynasty. With the best-selling Shanxi merchants, Shanxi was prosperous and prosperous, with a prosperous literary style and a huge crowd, which was not inferior to the southeast.

Wu Kaijie and Wu Huanju were both placed in a Shanxi merchant courtyard. The courtyard was not big, but it was exquisite everywhere. In particular, Geng Zhongming specially selected twenty beauties to serve him. In the middle of winter, they were all wearing long skirts, like butterflies, flying in.

"Brother, brother!" Wu Huanju pushed hard, and Wu Kaijie finally woke up.

"what?"

"I said, are you blinded? We are not enjoying it here. Don't forget the prince's instructions. If you lose your big head for the sake of the little head, I'm sorry to the ancestors of the Wu family!"

"Small head, big head?"

Wu Kaijie hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his big hand and grabbed his brother's neck hard.

"Boy, if you dare to talk nonsense, I will make you lose your big head and small head!"

"Brother, brother, let go quickly, someone is here!"

Wu Huanju struggled hard and shook Wu Kaijie's hand away. At this time, a tall maid moved her lotus step lightly and approached.

"Second Lord, the prince is here to ask for a meeting!"

Wu Kaijie hurriedly tidied up his clothes, and in front of the beauty, he pretended to be cool, and went outside with Wu Huanju.

Surrounded by his followers, Geng Jumao came to Wu Kaijie's side.

"Hahaha, Deputy Chief Wu, is he doing quite comfortable?"

"Thank you for your kindness, you are so comfortable that you can't even feel happy!"

Geng Jumao also laughed: "Captain Wu is young and has a very smart mind. He is the right-hand man of the King of Zhongshan. He will become a general and a prime minister in the future, and his future is limitless. We father and son must rely on the support of our subordinate!"

"You are welcome to be polite, what's the matter?"

Wu Kaijie was obviously more kind than the arrogance of the previous episode. Geng Jumao was also more happy. After they sat down in the main hall, the maid presented hot tea.

"Major General, how have you been busy these two days?"

"Captain Wu, according to your suggestion, our father and son dispatched a large army to control more than 20 prefectures and counties around Taiyuan. In addition, we also contacted Liu Tichun, who was stationed in Datong. We hoped to work together. Moreover, we rectified all the military and civilians in our hands, and organized a total of 50 battalions, nearly 30,000 troops. In addition, we seized the property of Shanxi merchants. We have captured five of the eight royal merchants. At present, we have found 8 million taels of silver and 500,000 dan of grain! It is enough to support the army's consumption for three months."

After hearing this, Wu Kaijie nodded: "Major General, I did a good job. I just received the information that the Qing army had moved to Shanxi long ago. I am afraid that a battle would occur within ten days. Your top priority is to store more grain and hoard arms. And I tell you that the wealth of Shanxi merchants is far beyond your imagination. I have searched the salt merchants in Lianghuai. These merchants have the ability to hide money. You are carefully checking. If you can't pay ten million taels of taels, just peel the skin and put them in the pot to squeeze oil!"

Geng Jumao asked in horror: "Second Chief. Do they really have so much money?"

"Major General, you know the situation of the Tartars at least. I ask you that the Tartars never used to smel iron. How did the armor on their bodies, the swords in their hands, and the red-clothed cannons come from? How many things did Shanxi merchants smuggle to the Tartars? There are no million taels a year. Are they worth working so hard? After years of accumulation, these people are so slapped in their crotch!"

Geng Jumao's eyes were lit up when he was said, and he suddenly stood up.

"Second Chief. I'll go and question Fan Yongdou now. If this grandson doesn't call out all the money, I'll put him in the oil pan!"

Geng Jumao said that he was about to leave, but when he arrived at the door, he suddenly stopped.

"Oh, I forgot about something big. The deputy minister just said that the Tartars were going to attack Shanxi. We were weak and we didn't know when the Anguo Army would be able to drive. With the support of the Anguo Army, we would have the courage to fight the Tartars!"

Wu Kaijie said in his heart: You may not be able to see An Guojun before you die!

Wu Kaijie laughed: "Major General, don't worry, the Anguo Army has taken action. And I will reveal another important news to you. This time, the King of Zhongshan will launch a battle to destroy the Tatars, and the scale of troops is far beyond your imagination!"

"really?"

Wu Kaijie smiled and nodded: "Major General, do you know North Korea?"

"Of course I know, wasn't Mao Shuai's Dongjiang Town on North Korea's Pi Island?"

"Well, the previous episode of the Yimin attacked Chenyang, which was quite shocking. North Korea has prepared a 20,000 army to counterattack Liaodong and get rid of the control of the Tatars."

When Geng Jumao heard that something happened, he laughed and said, "The Koreans are not very good at fighting, but if they can attack the Tartars, it will be a restraining position."

"Not only North Korea, but also Japanese pirates!" Wu Kaijie said mysteriously: "The King of Zhongshan has just contacted the Japanese shogunate and promised to hand over Ryukyu to Japan in exchange for them to send 30,000 troops. In this way, North Korea and Japan will have 50,000 coalition forces to attack Liaodong together. Major General and the Tartars will be empty in Liaodong. What if they encounter these 50,000 troops?"

Wu Kaijie stood up and asked Wu Huanju to take a map and put it in front of him.

"It's not just Liaodong. On the sea, Chen Tingyang and Zheng Zhilong each commanded 30,000 naval troops, and then attacked the coast from Shandong to Tianjin, restrained the defenders of the Tatars and blocked the sea routes. In Xuzhou, the Marquis of Huang Degong personally led a 50,000 army to counterattack Yanzhou. As for the King of Zhongshan, he had already concentrated 100,000 troops and wanted to attack Zhili from northern Henan. Major General, look at it, how can the Tartars deal with this scale!"

Wu Kaijie is half true and half false, but Geng Jumao was not sure about the situation. He calculated with his fingers that if Wu Kaijie really said, the Anguo Army mobilized more than 300,000 troops. It would be possible to destroy the country at the same time as the sea and land.

"Chief Wu, is this true?"

Wu Kaijie said proudly: "Of course it's true, but the original plan was to turn the New Year to implement it. Now you father and son are in advance, and the whole plan is also in advance. Ten days, as long as you can hold on to Taiyuan for ten days, the large army of Anguo Army will definitely arrive!"

"Ten days, you have to keep it for ten days!"

"What, does the Major General have no confidence?"

Geng Jumao hurriedly patted his chest and smiled and said, "It's just ten days. The Tartars don't want to break Taiyuan, but I just don't know if An Guojun can do it as scheduled..."

Wu Kaijie nodded: "Major General, to be fair, time is indeed a bit tight and the difficulties are not small."

"Is it food or military supplies?"

"None are not." Wu Kaijie smiled and said, "It is mainly the civil servants. The King of Zhongshan has issued a policy of resting with the people. It is necessary to spend money to recruit civil servants. The autumn grain is still being collected and the tax has not yet come up. But don't worry, when he came, the King of Zhongshan had asked Governor Yan to borrow money from major businesses, and ensure that it can be done as scheduled!"

People have a habit. They are unwilling to say things that are unfavorable to them. If Wu Kaijie patted his chest and promised to arrive as scheduled, Geng Jumao might still be a little suspicious. However, when he talked about money, he felt that An Guojun wanted to play the real thing.

"Customer Wu, it's easy to lack money. Don't we have several Shanxi merchants in our hands, so we started with Fan Yongdou. I immediately presented the torture money to the King of Zhongshan to express our filial piety!"

Wu Kaijie also deliberately pondered and said, "This is not possible. You are the front line of the anti-Qing Dynasty, and all the money must be used to deal with the Tartars."

"My second-general, I'm all a family, why bother with each other!"

"This is not good. I feel like we are taking advantage of you father and son. Major General, the money cannot be taken in vain, and it will be converted into military supplies. I will ask Henan to send 10,000 muskets, 200 cannons, and 500,000 ducts of food. It will make Taiyuan solid, so the Tatars will not be able to get involved!"

"Okay. Thank you, Deputy Chief Wu."

Geng Jumao was so happy that Sa Yazi returned to the palace and hurriedly reported to his father. Looking at his back, Wu Huanju felt a little reluctant.

"Brother. Is it really good for us to cheat people like this? As the saying goes, you should not have the intention to harm others, and you should not be without the intention to guard against others..."

"Shut up!" Wu Kaijie sneered: "Remember that killing evil people is a good idea. Who made them so stupid? He even did the thing to betray his ancestors!"

After Geng Jumao returned, he hurriedly reported the situation to Geng Zhongming. The two of them discussed overnight and then took action the next day, tortured Fan Yongdou and more than a dozen Shanxi merchants, and squeezed oil from them with all their efforts, took out most of the money they collected, and sent them all to Wu Kaijie and the others.

After three days of struggle, the first batch of arms of Anguo Army were sent over, including two thousand muskets, twenty cannons, and 30,000 kilograms of gunpowder.

Geng Zhongming personally greeted him. He secretly checked. Although these arms were of use, they were of high quality and were of high quality. In particular, the one who sent the military supplies also said that more arms would be delivered soon.

At this time, Geng Zhongming no longer doubted the sincerity of An Guojun. He immediately ordered all the Tartars in Taiyuan to behead their heads, but men, women, young and old, and their heads were hung on the city wall. Geng Zhongming even asked his subordinates to cut off all the braids on their heads and shave them into big bald heads.

The braids piled into hills burned, and in the flames, Geng Zhongming patted his chest and said, "Geng was determined to raise an army to resist the Tartars, and he would surely spread all the passion on the battlefield. He would be worthy of his ancestors and his subordinates. If he violated this oath, he would be like this!"

Geng Zhongming broke a bow and arrow, then tied Fan Yongdou and others like rice dumplings and gave it to Wu Kaijie.

"Captain Wu, these guys are so guilty. You should be the gift from Geng to the King of Zhongshan. I hope the deputy master will take it back!"

"Okay, great, General Geng, I can see your determination clearly. After I go back, I will immediately write a letter to the court and issue a certificate of alchemy to General Geng. I will not investigate your past!"

"Thank you for your kindness and kindness!"

The lively oath ended. Wu Kaijie left Taiyuan with more than 6 million taels of silver and a hundred Shanxi beauties, under the earnest gaze of Geng Zhongming and his son.
Chapter completed!
