Chapter 52 The Simplest Truth

Chapter 52 The most simple truth

It is a matter of course that the rewards of the Ming army were withheld.

Civil servants pay attention to their own affairs, and military generals pay a lot of attention to get a better job. These things have been taken for granted.

Under this situation, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army dropped rapidly, and it was also natural that their morale would be low.

Li Yunze has been busy for so long just to break these things that are taken for granted.

The reward of more than 200,000 taels of silver was distributed in full, and the eyes of all the soldiers were red.

There is an old saying by Mr. Zhou Shuren that people die for money and birds die for food. If you are not afraid of death for money, you will not be afraid of fighting against the Tartars.

The morale of the Ming army was visibly boosted.

In addition to the reward of silver, there will naturally be no shortage of achievements.

"Zheng Sihai." He Guoguang, the guard on the left side of Camp A of the Shenji Camp, walked up to Zheng Sihai and patted his shoulder, "The Survey Department has proven that the bandit leader Degerei is responsible for you.

The reported merits have been approved."

Zheng Sihai looked confused. He only knew how to serve as a soldier and receive rewards from the emperor. All he could think about was going home and marrying a wife. He didn't even think about what meritorious service was.

"General Bing Cao said that this was approved by Long Live himself." He Guoguang saluted respectfully in the direction of the big tent. "Long Live said that after all, it was not a one-on-one cut, it should be considered a collective effort. Thanks to you, the whole company's

Brothers all agree that they have made a transition. As for you, either wait until Liaodong is recaptured and choose a guard station to serve as a thousand households. Or you can upgrade to four levels now. There happens to be a vacancy for the general manager in the B camp. Which one do you choose?"

"Qianhu. Boss." Zheng Sihai's head was buzzing. "Which one gives you more money?"

He Guoguang laughed loudly, "When it comes to salary and silver, of course the boss will get more. But over the thousand households in the guard house, it is divided into fields."

"Sir, I'm going to Camp B."

Zheng Sihai wanted more silver taels, because the more silver taels he had, the more beautiful his wife would be. In their countryside, this was the simplest truth.

Even if the number reaches a certain level, he can marry as many wives as Mr. Hu, who has more than 200 acres of land in the village.

As a simple person, Zheng Sihai's pursuits are also very simple.

Of course, he will not forget who gave him the money.

He knelt down and saluted sincerely in the direction of the Chinese army's tent, "Long live, long live thank you~~~"

A high-level military meeting was being held in the Chinese military tent.

In front of the emperor, even the boss of Zheng Sihai's boss, Cao Bianjiao, the chief soldier of Quanzhi Shenji Battalion, could only stand in the second row.

"Huang Taiji's calculation was very precise. He wanted to stall for time until the river froze." Li Yunze's hand traced down the Daling River on the map. "At that time, he will be able to give full play to the mobility advantage of the cavalry."

"Long live." Cao Bianjiao couldn't help but interrupt, "Let's fight there first."

"It's not that easy." Zhao Zhijiao, who had fought with the Tartars for many years, responded, "If we forcefully cross the river, we will be attacked half way across the river. That was when the Hun River was flooded."

He didn't say the rest because it was too hard to mention.

The Zhejiang soldiers who participated in the Battle of Hunhe had a grudge against the Sichuan soldiers, also known as the Baigan soldiers, and both the Zhejiang soldiers and the Baigan soldiers had a grudge against Liao Zhen.

As a result, the white-armed soldiers went berserk and crossed the river to attack the Tartars, and were eventually surrounded and annihilated by superior forces.

At that time, the Zhejiang and Liao soldiers just stood by and refused to rescue.

Afterwards, the Tartars attacked the Zhejiang soldiers fiercely, but the Liao soldiers continued to watch the show and refused to rescue them.

When the Zhejiang soldiers were also defeated, the Liao soldiers used their Fenglinhuoshan skills to turn the enemy's front and escape smoothly.

The Ming army, which clearly had an advantage in combat effectiveness, was defeated one by one due to internal conflicts, resulting in the annihilation of elite soldiers and horses who dared to fight. It is really disappointing.

Zhao Shujiao thought that the Liao soldiers had been severely punished by Li Yunze, and since the emperor was personally in charge this time, a similar situation should not happen again.

"The Tartars have many cavalry." Man Gui followed up and expressed his position, "Huang Taiji is even more cunning. Our army is too slow to cross the river. Once the Tartars have passed, they can choose to withdraw north and drag them far away to cut off the grain road. This is their usual tactics."

Li Yunze, who was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, said casually, "No matter how many cavalry there are, we can't just leave. We can cross the river facing their camp and just hold the camp."

Mangui had no choice but to bow his hands and salute, "Long live, we need to build a bridge to cross the river. The Tartars will definitely notice it early. When the time comes, they only need to attack the bridge head to stop our army. At that time, whether we fight or leave, we will have plenty of time to make a decision."

Li Yunze was stunned for a moment, and finally understood what Man Gui meant. He smiled slightly, "In other words, as long as the bridge is built quickly enough, the soldiers and horses crossing the river can carry it?"

"Having said that." Man Gui was a little embarrassed, "But building the bridge takes time. Even if it is completed, only a small number of troops can be sent across. I don't think I can handle it."

As soon as he said this, Li Yunze laughed repeatedly, "Leave the task of building the bridge to me, and let the Shenji Battalion and Shenshu Battalion take the lead in crossing the river. All ministries will prepare first and wait for my notification."

He turned around and walked towards the imperial tent at the back, waving his hand to let the officials disperse.

The Daling River is not wide, and it is still the dry season, so it is not that difficult to build a bridge.

The difficulty lies in building a bridge under the harassment of the Tartars and having to withstand the impact of the bridgehead.

Li Yunze, who returned to the leather bag company in the modern world, directly spent money on the forum to offer a solution to the problem.

It has to be said that there are too many smart people on the Internet, and Li Yunze received many proposals in a short period of time.

The most satisfying thing among them was that a certain boss suggested using modular pontoons to quickly build it.

The steel frame pontoon module is built first, pushed into the water, and then quickly connected piece by piece.

The advantage is that it is simple, fast and convenient, but the disadvantage is that it is relatively expensive.

After all, ordering a modular steel structure requires supporting buoyancy equipment, but the total number is not much.

If they don't pay a high price, even ordinary small factories won't accept this kind of work.

"Money? The last thing I lack is money."

I closed the forum with satisfaction, went to the corporate website and started contacting merchants to place orders.

After communicating with a processing factory in Guangdong and faxing the contract and paying the deposit, Li Yunze closed the computer and stretched.

You have to wait for the other party to ship the goods, even if you want to expedite the payment, it will take at least three to five days.

Li Yunze has to stay here these days and wait for the modular steel frame to be delivered.

Li Yunze stood up and glanced at the camp bed beside him. Without saying a word, Li Yunze sat back on the chair and took out his mobile phone to search for the hotel.

It’s okay to sleep on a hard bed every day in the Ming Dynasty. How about sleeping in the modern world?

It’s not like I don’t have money!

As a famous tourist destination, there are many high-end hotels in Xiangjiang, and Li Yunze quickly chose the Shangri-La Hotel in Jiutiaolong.

I chose a deluxe sea view suite and checked the time limit for a month.

For a suite of more than 100 square meters, the basic consumption is 5,000 yuan per day, which is 150,000 yuan a month.

After being an emperor for a long time, my mentality has indeed expanded.

In the past, staying in a hotel would have cost more than 100,000 yuan, and I wouldn't do it even if I killed him. It would be great to have that kind of money to go home and buy a house with a down payment.

After leaving his contact number and paying the money, Li Yunze got up and went to fill the bottle.

When I came back, there was already a call from an unknown number on my phone.

"Which one?"

"Mr. Li, this is the reception department of Shangri-La Hotel. Thank you for your recognition of Shangri-La Hotel. Our hotel will arrange a courtesy car to pick up the distinguished guests. What is your current location?"

With this service attitude, the money was indeed well spent.

More than half an hour later, a Rolls-Royce limousine parked downstairs of the business building of the leather bag company.

"Mr. Li, my name is Tony, the VIP butler at the reception department of Shangri-La Hotel." The handsome and gentle man opened the car door for Li Yunze. "During your stay at Shangri-La, I will provide you with butler service."

"Is this really a name, Teacher Tony?"

Li Yunze, who had no concept of tipping at all, nodded and sat directly in.

The courtesy car started and drove very smoothly.

Tony in the front seat handed over the check-in agreement and Shangri-La's membership card with respectful hands.

Then he enthusiastically explained to Li Yunze the various preferential activities related to membership.

Li Yunze was not interested in this and lowered his head to fiddle with his phone.

Tony, who was very discerning, quickly ended his explanation, "I hope you will have a pleasant holiday at Shangri-La Hotel."

The courtesy car stopped at the entrance of the hotel, Tony got out of the car, opened the door, and led the way into the lobby.

The lobby manager came forward with several staff members and said, "Welcome distinguished guest. Our hotel will wholeheartedly provide services to Mr. Li."

Li Yunze was obviously a little surprised, it was just a purchase of hundreds of thousands.

A hotel as big as Shangri-La shouldn't be so welcoming.

After completing the formalities, Tony led the way to the sea view suite.

"Mr. Li, it's already dinner time, do you need catering service?"

Glancing at the night outside Noda's floor-to-ceiling windows, Li Yunze took out a T-shirt and shorts from his travel bag, "I'll take a shower first and help me find a seat."

When Li Yunze, wearing a T-shirt, shorts and slippers, came to the restaurant, there were already many customers here.

A beautiful girl holding up her mobile phone to take a photo with the food on the table saw Li Yunze's outfit and curled her lips with disdain, "Shangri-La's style is really getting lower and lower. Anyone can come here to eat."

The celebrity-faced companion sitting opposite her smiled and said nothing.

Unlike his colleagues who were new to the industry and had little experience, the internet celebrity could clearly see that Li Yunze brought the butler to dinner.

Ordinary rooms can cost thousands of dollars, and they may have private butlers, so they must be high-spending VIPs.

They come here to show off their style, while others come here just to have a casual meal.

Li Yunze was enjoying his meal when a slim figure appeared next to him.

Looking up, he saw an exquisite internet celebrity face.

"Sir, I'm Vivian." The girl quickly glanced at Tony, who was walking over quickly with a drink, then reached out and handed over a business card and put it on the table, "Make a friend."

"Mr. Li, I'm very sorry."

Tony rushed back and apologized sincerely, "I made a mistake at work and caused you trouble."

"It's okay, I asked you to get the wine." Li Yunze picked up the business card, smiled casually at the self-introduction of the model and actor on it, and handed it to Tony, "Throw it away."

When he was out in the field for a long time, he was indeed Gilbond.

It's just that his vision has already been raised high, so forget it about someone like this who has everything to do.

Eat and drink, then return to your room to sleep contentedly.

After several days in a row, Li Yunze's life in the hotel was simple and regular.

Get up in the morning to eat, then go back to the room and browse the Internet on your phone.

Have lunch at noon and go swimming or exercising in the afternoon.

In the evening, I eat, go back to my room, browse the Internet on my phone, and go to bed.

He didn't leave the hotel until the steel structure modules arrived.

When he arrived at the warehouse and looked at the mountains of steel structures in front of him, Li Yunze stretched his arms.

"Huang Taiji, take a good look at what is the power of modern industry."
