Shengjing City.
Guanju Palace.
The beauty has gone, and the original prosperity is like passing clouds. In the huge palace, Huang Taiji sits alone in the center, quietly looking at a secret report in his hand, lost in thought.
Although it has been more than half a year since the Songjin War and Hai Lanzhu was 'abducted' by Liu Ruyi for more than half a year, Huang Taiji has never stopped missing Hai Lanzhu for a moment.
For Huang Taiji, military success and failure were just clouds in the sky.
He has been fighting with Nurhachi since he was a teenager. He has been a soldier all his life and has experienced countless fierce battles!
Ming people, Mongols, Koreans, including Jurchens.
Li Chengliang, Li Rusong, Li Rubai, Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan, Lin Danhan, Daishan, Amin, Mang Gurtai... plus Dorgon and Duoduo!
No matter internally or externally, all these famous names were defeated by him without exception!
Even if you lose the war, it's not a big deal. You can just fight back later!
But Hailanzhu...
Thinking of Hai Lanzhu's pretty face, which was as beautiful as a flower and jade, but now she was being humiliated by Liu Ruyi's crotch, Huang Taiji suddenly felt a cramp in his chest!
The woman he loved the most was kidnapped from his capital by Liu Ruyi under his nose. What a shame and humiliation this must be for a man!
But the fact is, this is what happened!
"Huh~~!" Huang Taiji took a deep breath and tried to calm down his emotions.
He is a hero after all!
No matter how much pain he felt in his heart, he would not show it easily!
Men, in this world, the most important thing is strength!
Liu Ruyi broke through Shengjing City and snatched away the Hailanzhu. Although he took advantage of the empty defense of the Qing Dynasty, it is undeniable that if he did not have enough strength, he would never be able to do it!
Since Songjin's defeat, Huang Taiji himself has been reflecting on it for more than half a year!
Why!
Why did the brave and invincible Eight Banners cavalry lose to the pig-like Ming army?
Now, Huang Taiji finally wants to understand something!
Liu Ruyi was so cruel, with just one blow, he defeated his weak spot!
Shengjing City was destroyed and Hai Lanzhu was kidnapped. At that time, I was completely dejected and unconscious. How could I command the army clearly again?
The reason why Hauge's troops failed was because several elite Qing troops failed to rescue them in time. This allowed Liu Ruyi and Wu Sangui to concentrate their superior forces and quickly attack Hauge's troops!
After all, although Hauge is brave and good at fighting, and the two yellow flags are equally elite, facing tens of thousands of powerful Guan Ning cavalry and Liu Ruyi's insidious firearms, failure is inevitable!
Everything in the world has a cause and an effect!
Effects arise from causes and complement each other!
In his series of perfect plans, it was only because Liu Ruyi plucked a string that it triggered such an unbearable chain reaction!
With a deep sigh, Huang Taiji's brain became clearer and clearer!
He carefully reviewed the secret report in his hand again, and couldn't help but reveal a fierce light in his slender eyes.
In just over half a year, Liu Ruyi actually recruited 50,000 elite soldiers, defeated the powerful Li Zicheng, and took the city of Luoyang!
This person really has the heart of a tiger and a wolf!
If it is allowed to grow bigger like this, it will definitely be the catastrophe of the Qing Dynasty!
This must not go on like this!
Huang Taiji clenched his fists tightly.
I have reached the age of knowing my destiny, but Liu Ruyi is still standing. Judging from this time, I will never survive him no matter what!
While I can still control the overall situation of the Qing Dynasty, I must kill this tiger and wolf as soon as possible!
The most important thing is that he must snatch Hai Lanzhu back during his lifetime, otherwise, he will not be able to rest in peace!
"Here comes someone! Quickly tell Prince Zheng, Prince Su, Prince Rui, and Prince Yu to enter the palace! I have important military matters to discuss!"
At this time, in Luoyang City, Liu Ruyi obviously did not know that Huang Taiji was already preparing to launch the next round of more violent offensive against him!
Prince Fu and his son gave their own excuses, allowing Liu Ruyi's tentacles to completely control Luoyang City, which accelerated the progress a lot!
Since Prince Fu and his son want to die, Liu Ruyi will naturally not talk to them any more. Originally, Liu Ruyi was planning to let several major business houses spend huge sums of money to purchase the fields under the name of Prince Fu and his son. Now it seems that it is unnecessary.
Got it!
Liu Ruyi had almost no hesitation and immediately transferred all the land and wealth of Prince Fu's Mansion to the name of the Caishi Army!
As for Prince Fu and his son, Liu Ruyi did not take their lives immediately, but escorted them to the capital and handed them over to Emperor Chongzhen together with Wang Shaoyu!
However, by the way, anyone in Luoyang City who is involved with Prince Fu's Mansion and Wang Shaoyu will be severely investigated and punished by the Caishi Army!
Those who have no problems can naturally survive, but if there are people with evil intentions, Liu Ruyi does not mind sending them to the Hall of Hell to report immediately.
Suddenly, the sky above Luoyang City was covered with dark clouds.
~~~~
However, while some people are sad, some people must be happy.
Prince Fu's Mansion was uprooted, which meant that the huge wealth in Luoyang City was bound to be reshuffled.
The Central Plains Chamber of Commerce, as a die-hard supporter of Liu Ruyi, will be one of the biggest beneficiaries.
At Lu Weiqi's house, Zhao Min was working hard to enlighten his mentor.
"Teacher, what Duke Guo Qi did was an act of benevolence and righteousness! Prince Fu and his son committed such a treacherous and unethical mistake, but Duke Guo Qi did not take their lives! This shows how kind and righteous Duke Guo Qi is! Teacher, at this level, you have always done what you have done.
That's enough! Prince Fu and his son are short-sighted. Apart from eating, drinking and having fun, what else can they bring to the people of Luoyang? If Duke Qi is not here, and if Li Zicheng comes back again, then what should I, the people of Luoyang City, do to deal with it?
Woolen cloth?"
Seeing Zhao Min's impassioned words, Lu Weiqi couldn't help but let out a deep sigh, "Hey~~! Min'er! It's not that I don't know what you said! It's just that this world is still my Ming Dynasty's world after all! Duke Qi
Such... Hey! I'm in a very difficult position! I don't know how to explain it to the emperor!"
"Teacher! What else do I need to explain? When Li Zicheng's army besieged Luoyang, except for the Duke of Qi who came personally, why didn't the students see even half of the reinforcements from the imperial court? Teacher, the emperor and the imperial court have already given up on Luoyang, why do we still have to fight for it?
The imperial court sacrificed its life?"
Zhao Min’s words are a bit heartbreaking!
However, Lu Weiqi felt a deep helplessness!
yes!
What can the imperial court give Luoyang? What can it give to myself? What can it give to Miner?
But Qi Guogong personally treated himself as a guest and hired him as the president of the Central Plains Chamber of Commerce. He only received an annual salary of ten thousand taels, which was enough for his family to live comfortably and comfortably.
And Miner, who has been studying the books of sages for twenty years, has never had the chance to work for the emperor's family!
But with Qi Guogong here, not only was he quickly promoted to join the army in Zhongyong Camp, becoming the de facto number two figure in Zhongyong Camp, the security of the entire Luoyang City was also handed over to Qi Guogong!
How much trust is this!
With Duke Qi's sincerity and ambition alone, even if the court tries to flatter him, it will be hard for him to match him!
If things continue like this, as long as Miner firmly follows Duke Qi, his future will be bright in the future!
The most important thing is that with the Duke of Qi and the Colored Stone Army here, Luoyang City will be safe and worry-free!
Coupled with the participation of several major chambers of commerce, Luoyang City will surely be restored to its former prosperity in the shortest possible time, and the people of Luoyang will also be able to get the most benefits from it!
Such a comparison...
Zhao Min saw the change in his teacher's expression and couldn't help but added another word of anger: "Teacher, there is no way in the sky, but the Duke of Qi has way! If you receive kindness from others, you should repay it with springs. This is the truth you teach your students.
Ah! If you keep wandering around like this, this, this..."
Lu Weiqi closed his eyes tiredly, "Let me think about it, let me think about it!"
~~~~~
Caishi Army Camp in the East of Luoyang City.
After several days of recuperation, Dong Xiaowan also recovered from the shock of the White Horse Temple case. Although she was still a little weak, she was no longer seriously ill.
In the big account, Liu Ruyi was looking through a large stack of documents and ledgers on his desk. These were the property and land records of Prince Fu's Mansion. They had been sorted out by the scribes. Now, these are all Liu Ruyi's possessions.
"Husband, are you still worried about these things?" Dong Xiaowan walked up to Liu Ruyi holding a cup of hot tea.
Liu Ruyi nodded tiredly and took Dong Xiaowan into his arms, "There is no way! The meat is taken now! But how to divide it is even more troublesome! As the ancients said, don't worry about being in numbers.
Uneven! This matter is of great importance, and I don’t dare to be careless about it!"
Dong Xiaowan was startled when he heard this, "Husband, wasn't the land in Prince Fu's Mansion auctioned according to our original plan?"
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but smile bitterly, "In the past, the land belonged to King Fu, so there was no harm in auctioning it! But now, these properties are all in my name. If I want to auction them again, others will say that I have a dark heart!"
Dong Xiaowan frowned slightly, "Husband, you can't say that! Although the land of Prince Fu's Mansion is already in your name! But it is not ownerless wasteland! If your husband gives these lands to you for nothing,
I think these wealthy merchants from the Central Plains Chamber of Commerce will not only not be grateful for my husband’s kindness, but they may even open their mouths! After all, no one will think that they have too much land!”
Liu Ruyi was startled, "Xiaowan, what do you mean? Go on!"
Dong Xiaowan glanced at Ai Lang, smiled slightly, and then said: "Husband, this matter is actually very simple! Even if you give it to them for free, they may not cherish it! If husband has this,
In my heart, it is better to set aside a small part of the land and give it to the landless hungry people in Luoyang City! As for the land originally owned by Prince Fu, we will still auction it according to the original plan! However, the price can be slightly discounted! As a result, several major chambers of commerce
They can all buy land! And the people of Luoyang City can also get benefits from the husband, and no one can find anything wrong with it! On the contrary, it will further enhance the husband’s prestige in Luoyang City! Why not?"
"yes!"
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but slap her thigh, "I've been thinking about it, but I can't find the best way! Looking at it now, it's like being in the middle of the game and not getting lost! Xiaowan, your method is very good! Both
Fair and fair! Moreover, the money from the auction of the land can also be used as military expenses for the Colored Stone Army! However, I have to add one more thing! We can set aside some of these lands to serve as rewards for the Colored Stone Army's meritorious men.
!With this, the land of Luoyang City will surely be as stable as Mount Tai!"
