After Shang Yi led his troops back to Muling Pass, the entire army was immediately warmly welcomed by the residents, because they all knew from experience that their soldiers had returned with a great victory this time. Especially those who had just fought in
Almost everyone who settled in Muling Pass had a blood feud with the Qing army. Seeing that the Muling army defeated the Qing army and captured many prisoners, naturally everyone felt proud.
Especially when the Muling Army entered the city, the residents lined the streets outside Guancheng to welcome them, beating gongs and drums to celebrate, and some people burned incense and worshiped on both sides of the road. However, when the Qing prisoner team arrived, they encountered
The residents attacked with mud and stones, and some rushed up to beat and kick Qing prisoners, venting their anger.
Among the prisoners of the Qing soldiers, there were still some who were dissatisfied at first, especially those prisoners of war who were full of Eight Banners. They had always looked down on the Han people and were not honest even when they were prisoners. Therefore, when the residents beat them up and tore them apart,
When they were being beaten, they actually struggled to resist, especially a few white-armored soldiers and horse soldiers, whose attitude was extremely arrogant. When the residents attacked them, they jumped, jumped, screamed, and cursed.
Unfortunately, their hands were tied at this time, and there were soldiers from the Muling Army guarding them. At this time, they would not be allowed to be arrogant at this time, so as long as the prisoners made the slightest move, even if they just stared,
He will also be beaten immediately.
And because there were more than a dozen Qing soldiers who showed the most violent counterattack, or could also be said to be the stupidest, even though their hands were tied, they were still kicking, so they became the focus of the soldiers of the Muling Army.
Like, everyone was knocked to the ground and forced with swords and guns. Under the protection of the soldiers, the residents also used clubs, fists and kicks. Some people rushed up and took a few bites, but the Qing soldiers were all covered with bruises and blood.
Not only that, but the people watching on the side all clapped their hands and applauded. The other prisoners of war also became a lot more honest after seeing it.
Of course, Shang Yi did not stop this kind of behavior. Once he became a prisoner, he had to behave like a prisoner. The minimum requirement for being a prisoner was not to fight back and not to retaliate. If he could not do this,
Then you really should give it a good education.
After entering Guancheng and settling down at General Qian's Yamen, Shang Yi gathered the remaining generals. His father-in-law introduced them to Shen Yang and other Jin Yiwei personnel. Shen Yang and others also changed into Jin Yiwei's flying fish uniforms and crossed the
Harudao does not hide his identity.
After knowing that this group of people were the famous Jinyiwei, Zhou Shiqi and Tang Zhen were also shocked, and their actions and words became cautious, like primary school students who had just entered school. Although since Emperor Chongzhen took over, the power and actions of Jinyiwei have
have been greatly reduced, but after all, they are still centipede insects, dead and not stiff. Because they are Zhou Shiqi and Tang Zhen who have been officials, they have a natural fear of Jin Yiwei. Although the performance of Shen Yang and others is not
It wasn't as scary as the legend said, but the two of them still looked terrified.
However, Zhou Shiqi and Tang Zhen were officials after all. It was Zhou Shiqi. Although he had always been a local official, it did not mean that he did not understand the unspoken rules of the officialdom. What did Jin Yiwei do? And why?
Shibaba came to Mulingguan, a small place where no one has shit? Naturally, it was to verify the military exploits reported by Shang Yi.
So under Zhou Shiqi's reminder, Shang Yi immediately understood. So after a little calming down, Shang Yi immediately took Shen Yang and others to check the chopped off heads of the Qin Army, prisoners, and captured weapons. Armor, military standards and back flags.
Looking at the human heads piled up in the warehouse like a hill, Shen Yang and others finally understood why the Muling Army was so calm about beheading more than 2,000 people during the battle to regain Linqu County. It turned out that in Guancheng There were actually more than 5,000 heads. And Shen Yang was not at ease, so he asked his subordinates to check dozens of heads at will to determine whether they were genuine or not. As expected, all of them were genuine, proving that they were not fake at all.
If we add the more than 2,000 people who have recently been beheaded, the total will be more than 7,000. What is the concept of beheading more than 7,000 people?
Only then did Shen Yang ask Shang Yi how he got these heads, and then Shang Yi told the entire story of the second defense battle of Muling Pass. After hearing this, Shen Yang and others found it hard to believe. , an army of less than 4,000 people was able to defeat more than 26,000 Qing troops, and they dared to go out of the city to fight with Qing soldiers in the wild. This is simply incredible.
But there were so many heads right in front of us, as well as so many weapons, armor, military flags and back flags. Not to mention there were five to six hundred prisoners. These were all large living people, and it was even less likely that they had any water.
However, for Shen Yang and others, the greater the contribution Shang Yi has made, the better. Although the duty of the Jinyiwei is only to find out the truth, it is said that whether Shang Yi's military exploits are true or not has nothing to do with the Jinyiwei. The greater Yi's military exploits, the happier the emperor will be. The emperor's attitude when he is happy is completely different from his attitude when he is angry. When the emperor is happy, the reward will be larger than usual, but when the emperor is angry, even if he has merit, They may not get many rewards. Therefore, Shen Yang and others were all beaming with joy. Zhou Wei was also among the royal guards. When she was looking at the head just now, she had been hiding behind her. At this time, she also looked at her with a look of renewed recognition. He kept looking at Shang Yi.
That very night, under Zhou Shiqi's guidance, Shang Yi prepared a gift for each member of Jinyiwei. Each of the four leaders gave him 300 taels of silver, plus artifacts worth about 200 taels. Each of the others, depending on their official position, was also presented with one or two hundred taels of silver and artifacts worth about one hundred taels.
In fact, after defeating the Qing army several times, the biggest gain from Mulingguan was gold and silver. At this time, there were more than 5,000 taels of gold and more than 140,000 to 50,000 taels of silver. There were also more than 2,000 to 3,000 taels of various artifacts. It is said that It is absolutely possible to give more, but Zhou Shiqi warned Shang Yi not to give too much the first time, otherwise they will think that if there is money in Mulingguan, they will only open more and more frequently, never ending, so they would rather Give less and then add more gradually.
After Shang Yi heard this, he had to admire Zhou Shiqi. He was indeed a sophisticated man. Although he had three to four hundred years more experience than him, he still had a lot to learn from the old man in this regard.
After returning to her previous place, Ye Yaoyu was waiting for him in the house. When she saw Shang Yi entering the house, she immediately threw herself into his arms with enthusiasm and said: "Brother, you are finally back. "
Although the two were only separated for a few days this time, for newlyweds, it is the time when a little separation is better than a wedding. Shang Yi also misses her very much. Seeing that Ye Yaoyao is so emotional tonight, he is naturally not to be outdone. He immediately stretched out his hand to tightly catch the delicate body of his beloved wife, lowered his head and kissed her hot lips. Ye Yaoyu responded shyly, but she was very happy in her heart.
While kissing his lover in his arms, Shang Yi picked her up, walked into the back room, and put her on the bed. His hands began to slide slowly, pieces of clothes fell to the ground, and his lips began to move along the pink neck.
Next, passionate kisses covered every inch of her body. Ye Yaoyao's beautiful eyes were filled with spring water, and her pretty face was covered with red clouds. She was charming and charming, but she was very obedient and cooperated with Shang Yi's intrusion.
wonderful feeling.
…………
A storm of passion passed for a long time, and the passionate breathing gradually subsided, but the bodies of the two people were still entangled together. Ye Yaoyao had a sweet smile on her face, and her delicate body was soft.
Lying powerlessly on Shang Yi!
While gently stroking her naked back, which was as smooth and attractive as gelatin, Shang Yi said: "Yao Yao, I want you to help me take care of some things."
While enjoying her lover's caress, Ye Yaoyao said, "I can do anything as long as my brother asks me to do it."
Shang Yi said: "I'll let you help me manage the accounts, okay?"
Ye Yaoyao couldn't help but be startled. Now she used to help Shang Yi handle some official documents, but she didn't expect that Shang Yi would ask her to manage the accounts. In fact, she would manage the entire Muling Pass money.
Income and expenditure situation.
In fact, Shang Yi had thought about this problem before he went on the expedition. Before that, the income and expenditure of the Muling Army were relatively simple, and the amount was not large. They only needed to hire two accountants. The general procedures for using money were also
It's very simple. As long as someone mentions it, Shang Yi will approve it if he thinks it's feasible, and then go to the accounting room to pay the money.
But judging from the current situation, it is not a big problem to survive this Qing invasion. Now we can start to consider the reconstruction and expansion and the resettlement of residents after the Qing army retreats, as well as the various manufacturing workshops, which also need to expand their scale.
Things will involve the handling of a large amount of money, so a special financial department is needed to handle these things. It is now an urgent matter.
At the same time, Shang Yi hates corruption very much, and he also knows that money problems are often the root cause of corruption. Now Mulingguan has accumulated a large amount of silver, and there will often be large amounts of money transactions in the future.
, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will not be tempted. Currently, my career has just started. Once corruption occurs for personal gain, the impact on the current early stage of entrepreneurship will be devastating.
Now in Muling Pass, the people Shang Yi can trust the most are Zhou Shiqi and his family, but now in Tang Town, Zhou Shaohuan is in the army, and Zhou Shiqi manages the civil affairs of the entire Muling Pass. If he hands over the financial power to them, it will be unavoidable to give them
Shang Yi certainly knew that absolute power would inevitably lead to corruption.
On the other hand, if you want to develop personal power, there are nothing more than two things, one is the barrel of the gun, and the other is the money bag. Now of course Shang Yi has no control over the entire Muling Army. If the money bag is given to him again,
If his wife is in charge, he can firmly control the entire Muling Pass in his own hands. Therefore, Shang Yi thought about it and decided that he could rest assured only by leaving it to Ye Yaoyu.
Ye Yaoyao is also a smart woman. After listening to it, she can guess Shang Yi's intention, but she is still a little cautious and said: "Leave such an important matter to me, okay?
"
Shang Yi kissed her gently and said: "Don't worry! You are so smart and capable, you will definitely be able to do it, and I will ask Mr. Sun San to help you again. He is proficient in arithmetic. With his help, you will definitely be able to do it."
Very good.”
Ye Yaoyao also knew in her heart that Shang Yi entrusted such an important matter to herself, which showed his belief in herself, so she nodded and said: "Since brother believes in me, then I will give it a try. But I don't
