The bowl in Yu Qian's hand fell to the ground, and his first reaction was that Long Live had already known the battle report from the north.
What you need to face is always what you need to face.
Yu Qian put down his chopsticks and put on his official uniform with the help of his old servant.
Imperial Palace, South Study Room.
As soon as Yu Qian entered the house, he knelt down, shouted long live, but did not stand up, and knelt on the ground and said seriously: "Long live, I think, even if Datong is victorious, it is a battle of wrong and a battle of benevolence and righteousness. I think that this matter should be discussed for a long time, and this trend cannot be long. My Ming soldiers are not robbers!"
Zhu Qiyu couldn't understand what Yu Qian was talking about.
But he is the emperor, and Zhu Qiyu is not the first day he becomes the emperor. He smiled slightly: "Your bestow your health." Zhu Qiyu remained silent: "Come here, give him a seat, and call the one who pays tribute to Fujian..."
Eunuch Cai whispered to remind him: "Oolong tea."
"Yes, give me tea and prepare some snacks." Zhu Qiyu did not respond because he didn't understand what Yu Qian was talking about? What happened to the war in the north, so it wouldn't be too late to listen to Yu Qian first and then finish before speaking.
Yu Qian thanked the gift, took a few deep breaths and put the tea next to his mouth to taste it lightly.
No matter how good the tea is, it will taste no longer. Yu Qian is in a mess. But now, he has to speak: "Long live, the ancient sujiang city has been taken down. Because this city was used as a fortress by the Ola as the fortress, it has been well prepared. The dried meat stored alone has 50,000 stones, 300,000 stones of food, and countless materials."
"This is a great victory, it should be rewarded." Zhu Qiyu was surprised in his heart. How did this be defeated: "Yu Shaobao tell me a little bit of the details."
"The caravans disguised by three hundred rangers and two hundred soldiers entered the city without any defense. Although this city is a fortress, there are not many garrisons. There are only 5,000 garrisons in total. For nearly fifty years, they have been attacking and defending Daming. So the Wassar did not expect that we dare to attack. The gates of this fortress are wide open, obviously like a market."
Speaking of this, although Yu Qian regards the carelessness of the thorns as the main reason, there is actually a bigger reason.
"Long live, what I want to talk about next. Three hundred rangers and two hundred soldiers, these five hundred men not only opened the two north and south city gates, but also killed 800 enemy troops. Then they poured into the Ming army, and their combat power was also amazing. In just a quarter of an hour, there was no one in the entire Gusui City who dared to resist again."
A quarter of an hour!
Zhu Qiyu was finally moved. You must know that just running, you may not be able to run from the North City Gate to the South City Gate for a quarter of an hour.
Yu Qian stood up: "Long live, the soldiers shouted the slogan of two stones of rice for a person's head."
"Yu Shaobao means that under the heavy rewards, the morale of the army will be high. This is a good thing." Zhu Qiyu had already understood the reason in his heart.
But Yu Qian said, "I don't mean this. What I want to say is that although the soldiers shouted about rewards, before entering the city, the entire city was divided into twelve pieces and distributed to the twelve garrisons who sent troops. Before the war, they drew lots and attacked the city after entering the city. The areas they divided by each garrison..."
"How?" Seeing Yu Qian stopping, Zhu Qiyu immediately asked.
"Long live, according to the area you are divided..." Yu Qian was really unable to say it, gritted his teeth and made a fuss: "Long live, according to the area you are divided, everything in front of them is not a human being, nor is it a thing. There are only two things, one is merit and the other is rice. Everything is cleaned by them. No matter how tile thorns, men, women, old and young, all were stamped with slave seals. All the property was loaded with vehicles. In the area where the two guards competed for justice, it was divided by soldiers' competition."
At this point, Yu Qian stood up.
"Long live, this is not an army battle, this is a robber!" Yu Qian clenched his teeth.
Zhu Qiyu didn't say anything, and this situation surprised him a little.
Yu Qian stepped forward a few steps: "Long live, now the two governors of the Xuanfu have already prepared for war. I can feel that once they send troops, the entire Hetao will only have rice in their eyes except for the land."
"My minister, impeach yourself and the white-famous crane."
"Isn't it good to take back the Hetao? My Ming people were caught by Watao and were bullied. Can't I let Watao be slaves? The property in their hands was not robbed by my Ming Dynasty? Didn't they exchange it for my royal brother? Didn't you forget the Battle of Tumu Fort?"
Zhu Qiyu was a little more excited, and in his eyes, it was not an exaggeration to kill all the thorns.
"Long live, you can fight, but you cannot rob. The soldiers have bandit spirit in their hearts. What if they pacify the twatt in the future? The bandit spirit is difficult to suppress, and they will mutiny. Please think twice. Furthermore, I govern the country with etiquette and filial piety. The soldiers in the Ming Dynasty are rude and have no kindness. This is a big mistake. Please think twice. Once the soldiers on the border develop the habit of bandits, they only talk about interests when they go to fight, but not filial piety and righteousness. This is a taboo for military strategists. Please think twice!" Yu Qian knelt on the ground, and asked for thought twice after three sentences.
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, she felt a little troublesome.
But then I thought about it, I had to wait until the thorns were destroyed. It was also a good thing to use money and food to stimulate the soldiers to fight desperately. It is better to consume some money and food than to lose.
"What Yu Shaobao reported is reasonable. Let Bai Minghe find a solution!"
"Long live, Bai Minghe is too evil to do things!" Yu Qian used the word "evil" to define Bai Minghe. Even he had a trap for this incident, which was incredible.
Zhu Qiyu laughed: "It just so happened that Bai Minghe wrote a letter to Yu Shaobao."
Eunuch Cai immediately sent it with the letter.
Zhu Qiyu said at this time: "Bai Minghe believes that Yu Shaobao is a little poor. So I found a gold mine to offer it, and I rewarded it to you according to Bai Minghe's memorial. According to Bai Minghe, this gold mine is well-managed every year. It can be mined for at least a hundred stones of gold."
Gold Mine... Yu Qian felt that his brain was about to crash. A gold mine, one hundred stones of gold a year. This is two million taels of silver for himself. Just when he heard about the gold mine, Yu Qian didn't even bother to read the letter, and his heart suddenly became confused.
"Long live, is this for the Ministry of War?" Yu Qian couldn't believe that Long live was really bewitched by the white-famous crane.
"No, I think Bai Minghe's words are reasonable. This is to reward Yu Shaobao. You see in the letter that Bai Minghe has discovered several other gold mines, the eleven border towns, and set a task for them. Next summer, the victorious guard will get a gold mine, which can dig out thirty stones of gold in a year."
When it comes to gold mines, Zhu Qiyu's trust in Bai Minghe is like a thermometer placed in boiling water, soaring wildly.
Bai Minghe said that there was gold, so he sent troops to get gold, and the civil strife in Little Luzon. The largest tribes united to give Bai Minghe a lecturer. Bai Minghe was extremely smart and asked them to give him the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to his disciples. Then, as Bai Minghe had expected, the little Luzon would change his surname to Zhu.
There are countless gold mines there, and Zhu Qiyu's mentality has begun to change.
Yu Qian was going crazy and rewarded himself with a gold mine. This was not a reward of some silver. The gold mine produced 100 stones of gold per year. He would give himself 2 million taels of silver a year. Do you dare to ask for it? He didn't dare to kill him, and he wouldn't dare to kill him. If he really accepted it, the civil servants in the court could bite him to death.
This is not the end. Yu Qian didn't even dare to think about how people from his own faction would react.
"The gold mine belongs to you, this is an imperial edict. How do you use it? Don't report it to me. Bai Minghe's letter clearly stated that you have to send someone to guard the gold mine and dig it. He has the prospector, but he does not. This is an imperial edict!" Zhu Qiyu did not give Yu Qian a chance to object.
Yu Qian felt so bitter. This was probably the first time in the world. Long live rewards of ten thousand golds are even more uncomfortable than giving a few bowls of poison.
"Long live my enlightenment, I dare not use it privately, please build a new army."
"Build a new army, what kind of new army is it?" Zhu Qiyu asked with interest.
"I think that firearms will flourish. The Ming Dynasty's treasury has always been insufficient. If there is any income from this gold mine, I can try to build an army with firearms as the main weapon. I plan to recruit five thousand people first, of which five hundred are used for gunners, three thousand five hundred are used as fire commanders, and one thousand are cavalry."
Yu Qian talked about his plan in detail, but Zhu Qiyu did not agree immediately, but said, "Write a detailed memorial and I will take a look. As for this gold mine, you must see gold before the New Year. You must know that the gold mine will give Little Luzon five hundred dan of silk as land rent for the land."
"I! I will receive the order." Yu Qian knew that he could not refuse, so he had to respond.
He thought to himself that it would be good to use this money to establish a new army. Suddenly, Yu Qian came to his senses: "My..., long live, do you say it's five hundred dans of silk, and the gold mine is in Little Luzon?"
"That's right, the Baiming Crane has been found. There are hundreds of gold mines in size. Your output is considered to be medium to the upper level. There are also a few stones of gold in a small gold mine a year. The Baiming Crane letter says that Yu Shaobao should be more careful, and there are still people who will steal ore there. Also, the trees on the mountain are Baiming Crane. You have to discuss with him first, cut down a tree, and at least five seedlings should be planted again."
Yu Qian really wants to curse, Bai Minghe, you are really evil, you actually rob Xiaobang's gold mine.
"Long live, I want to impeach Baiminghe. Five hundred dans of silk produce one hundred stones in a year. What is the difference between this and Ming robbing? Little Luzon is not my land of the Ming Dynasty. Could it be that I am the Ming Dynasty and I will force the wealth of the small country? Baiminghe is not a Confucian official. He has evil thoughts and his robber style."
Yu Qian was very excited. He was an upright person, and he could not accept this style that was no different from a robber.
Zhu Qiyu laughed:
"I have a agreement between the White-Ming Crane and the other party. It was originally agreed that all investments would be paid by the White-Ming Crane, and everything else would be paid by the White-Ming Crane, and the local area would be divided into 30% of the net profit. But the other party thought that 30% was not easy to grasp, so it would increase the value and require 500 dan of gold equivalent goods. This is a fair transaction. Yu Shaobao should not be too careful. I know this. You just need to care about giving you this gold mine."
Yu Qiankong knelt down.
