Chapter 36 Name,,
Three days!
Fifty thousand stones of grain!
This is enough for the 50,000 troops to eat more than two months of food!
Could it be that the food in the city has not been burned out? Obviously it is impossible. The first round of rockets named Cao were put into the granary.
Could it be that he will make a trick?
In confusion, Zhu Mingzhong looked at Qian Lei and asked.
"Come on, what's your solution? Tell me to Mr. Zhu!"
Looking forward, Zhu Mingzhong looked at himself listening carefully. Qian Lei carefully took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve.
"Sir, look at this!"
After taking the sheets of paper, looking at the list on the paper and the amount behind the list, Zhu Mingzhong looked at Qian Lei in surprise and asked.
"This is?"
"Sir, this is the amount of military pay paid by the gentry in Jiangyin County. The minimum amount of money is as high as 500 taels. These gentry received the kindness of our Emperor of Ming Dynasty. They did not know how to repay the Ming Dynasty court but lost the donation for the Qing emperor. It is really hateful and must be punished by the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, how can we quell the public anger and how can we be worthy of the people killed by the Qing dog in Jiangyin..."
Qian Lei looked righteous at this time. If it weren't for the black cloth wrapped around his head that reminded Zhu Mingzhong, he would have thought that he was a loyal and righteous man of the Ming Dynasty.
"However, considering that he was forced by the Qing captains at the beginning, the Lord can show him leniently and let him lose money and food to help the army and military supplies..."
Looking at Qian Lei, who looked righteous and righteous, was dumbfounded, Zhu Mingzhong had only one thought left in his heart.
"Master Qian, you are really a scholar!"
Except for scholars who can make the Ming robbery so righteously and openly, who else can do it?
"Uh, sir?"
Before Qian Lei could react, Zhu Mingzhong's face suddenly changed and he shouted loudly.
"If Zhu promised you to do this and to exploit the people like this, what's the difference between it and the Qing barbarians? You are thinking about Zhu, and it is clearly trying to harm Zhu..."
The sudden reprimand made Qian Lei panic in his heart. He suddenly realized that Qian Lei, who was not a Qing official in front of him, felt anxious and his knees weakened. He knelt down.
"Sir, please spare your life, please spare your life, little, little, you are just a moment of impatient, and you will come up with some bad plans..."
Qian Lei, who was kneeling on the ground, kowtowed with his head as if he was pounding garlic. Only then did he remember that the Qing Dynasty officials might not regard the Han people as human beings. As long as they could defend the city and pacify the world, they would naturally kill and plunder, but the one in front of him was an official from the Ming Dynasty...
No one would think that his idea was anything if he was on the Qing Dynasty. After all, when the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, it was tempting to slaughter the city and robbery to lure the soldiers to bravely attack the city and thus conquer the country. But when he was on the Ming Dynasty, this method could not be achieved. If he hadn't thought about it, there might be a sound of killing in the court.
"The worst strategy, huh, I think you guys have made up your mind. You are ready to dig a hole and let me jump in, right?"
Staring at Qian Lei who kept kowtowing, Zhu Mingzhong snorted coldly.
"My Master Qian, you are so self-recommendation, aren't Zhu's military advisor? This pit, Military Advisor Qian, you've dug up well..."
"The villain is really talented and knowledgeable, and is not worthy of great use. So, why dare you be a military advisor there! The villain is also for the general..."
Qian Lei, who had never been an aide to the general, thought that this man turned against him so quickly. The previous breath was that the person asked him for advice, but he turned his face and wanted to kill someone.
"Little, villain, then, dare to harm the adults. This matter will not damage the adults' wisdom, nor will it cause them to be injustice..."
"Stop talking too much, tell me what I should do!"
Although he looked down on this man's cowardice and his cunning, Zhu Mingzhong, who had no one around him, could only ask for advice from the guy in front of him. He knew that he had already hit him, glared at the man fiercely and said harshly.
"If it can't be done, if it's really a pitfall, I'll kill you first before someone else kills me!"
Since in the eyes of others, I have become a god of killing, so I should just continue to be this rough man who only knows how to cut and kill.
"Yes, yes! General!"
When he heard that he was going to chop himself up, he felt that Qian Lei, who had just walked in the gate of hell, was a little surprised at the speed of this man's face change, but his overly fat body shivered and explained stutteringly.
As if he had made up his mind, Qian Lei raised his eyes slightly and looked at Zhu Mingzhong and said.
"Sir, Jiangyin has been burned into a barren land, and millions of people need relief. Otherwise, the people will be unstable. Those gentry helped the Qing army and military supplies, which caused the Jiangyin people to suffer such a disaster. Now it is natural to ask them to take out silver and grain to provide relief to the refugees. When they take out money and grain, how much money and grain will be there? It's not you, you are old..."
Qian Lei, who originally wanted to say "You always say the final word", said, but changed his words.
"You always arrange for disaster relief, so you can naturally use it as military rations. Do you always say that? Then, sir, you not only have food to recruit soldiers, but the people of Jiangyin will also be blessed by sir..."
As for how much food would enter the mouths of the people of Jiangyin, Qian Lei didn't know and never really thought about it. In his opinion, what he needed was to give advice for this person. This was the foundation of being an aide. As for the people of Jiangyin... they were really not within his consideration.
Qian Lei said this and Zhu Mingzhong looked at the man a few times. Although this guy was timid and cowardly, he was indeed a tutor for being a dog-headed military advisor. His idea was not bad. In the name of helping refugees, he asked those gentry to donate. If they were not happy... would they dare?
Not to mention the fact that those gentry donated money and grain from the Qing Dynasty was put in front of it, at that time, as long as they gave a little advice and told the people that if some people donated the Qing Dynasty, Jiangyin would not have been burned to a barren land. At that time, the people would naturally vent their anger on these people, and they would not even need to do it themselves, and the people would be able to confiscate their homes!
The struggle of the masses is a magic weapon... However, if those people know each other's appearance, they will take out the food themselves! Otherwise, I will have ten thousand ways to let them take out the food!
Thinking of this, when looking at Qian Lei, Zhu Mingzhong squeezed out a smile.
"So, then this matter... will be Mr. Qian!"
Zhu Mingzhong changed his words and immediately relieved Qian Lei. He knew that his life was saved for the time being.
When Qian Lei breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Dahu outside the door rushed in in a hurry.
"Sir, Lord Zhang, the Minister of War, is here!"
