Chapter 010
Song Kangnian looked at Cheng Shijie in disbelief: "Seriously?"
"really!"
Song Kangnian speculated on many possibilities. The deal was completed. Even if Cheng Shijie gave him two to three hundred taels of silver, it would still be a huge sum of money.
If Cheng Shijie was cheating, Song Kangnian had nothing to do. He couldn't tell Geng Zhongming that I bought a knife for twenty taels of silver and sold it to you for five hundred taels.
If Song Kangnian dared to say that, Geng Zhongming would definitely beat him to death first.
Even if Cheng Shijie is generous and generous, and 90% is nine thousand taels of silver returned to Cheng Shijie, or 28, 37 is even a 50-50 split, then Cheng Shijie is still a conscientious and kind person.
Of course, Song Kangnian didn't know that Cheng Shijie's real cost was actually only more than 300 yuan per sword, and there were more than 30 swords in total. The total cost was just the cost of a golden bean.
Even four hundred taels of silver can be exchanged for fifty taels of gold, which is more than half a million, a profit of more than fifty times.
Cheng Shijie opened a bottle of Erguotou and poured a glass for Song Kangnian: "Happy marriage!"
“Happy to work with!”
Song Kangnian was a little unbelievable. He was not an outsider, nor did he live in the world. For him, this money was also a huge sum of money. He could buy thousands of acres of land, become a landlord, and live a comfortable life. day.
You can even take it back to Yongcheng and renovate Long Kang's broken Taoist temple.
Cheng Shijie repeatedly asked Song Kangnian to drink, and Song Kangnian gradually drank too much.
Cheng Shijie also obtained important information from Song Kangnian.
Song Kangnian told Geng Zhongming's fortune and won Geng Zhongming's trust with his efficacious words. Geng Zhongming is in trouble. He is planning to give these twenty swords as gifts to Huang Long, the current commander-in-chief of the Dongjiang Army, hoping that Huang Long can show his favor. If Huang Long refuses to give up, Geng Zhongming will bribe Cao Rong, the supervisor of the Dongjiang Army.
The final question is that Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, is about to go bankrupt. He trained the Denglai new army, hired 107 Westerners as instructors, and cast a total of 68 new artillery pieces. Training cost several hundred taels of silver every day.
In order to raise military expenses, Sun Yuanhua was selling his official position.
Seeing that his body had collapsed softly on the ground, Cheng Shijie said: "Ming Yu, help Mr. Song to rest!"
Shen Mingyu helped Song Kangnian up and walked into the west wing to sleep.
Shen Mingyu quickly returned to the main room, while Cheng Shijie was in a daze.
Cheng Shijie is not a saint with great ambitions, or a saint who cares about the world. He is just an ordinary citizen. To him, Dengzhou is just a passerby in life.
He once thought about using the cracks in time and space to make some money and earn enough money to treat his daughter Cheng Jiayue. As long as he earned a few million yuan, he could send his daughter to the beautiful country for medical treatment. He decided not to come to Dengzhou anymore to share with future generations. Live a good life with his wife and children.
But when he heard that Sun Yuanhua actually sold his official position and got a title, his heart was moved.
Of course, Cheng Shijie didn't want to buy an official title in Ming Dynasty and live his life, but he was thinking about something big.
That was the Wuqiao Mutiny.
The Wuqiao Mutiny had a fatal impact on the Ming Dynasty. Although the Hou Jin Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty fought for more than ten years, the Ming Dynasty still won less and lost more. But the problem is that the most lacking of the slaves is the ability to attack difficult problems, just like the Daling River that is about to unfold. During the battle, Jiannu did not have the ability to attack the dilapidated Daling River City. Instead, he mainly adopted a siege and encircled the points for reinforcements.
Strategically speaking, the existence of the Dongjiang Army was to contain the Jiannu slaves. However, after the Wuqiao Mutiny, the hinterland of Shandong was ravaged by the Dongjiang Army rebels. The situation in Dengzhou completely collapsed because the containment effect of the Dongjiang Army had been lost. Jiannu also had a new Western-style Denglai army trained by Sun Yuanhua.
This army was headed by Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi. In order to show off to their new masters, they acted as pawns for establishing slaves and captured many cities of the Ming Dynasty along the way. When pacifying the south of the Yangtze River and clearing out the many battles in the southwest, King Sanshun played a vital role.
How about buying an official position from Sun Yuanhua and finding an opportunity to kill Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming?
Once this idea came up, Cheng Shijie's brain quickly became active. Although he was just an ordinary person and could not buy guns, explosives and detonators in China, however, he could buy gasoline. There seemed to be some online A tutorial on how to make homemade gasoline napalm bombs.
There are still more than three months left before the Wuqiao mutiny, and it seems there is still a chance.
Thinking of this, a look of ferocity appeared on Cheng Shijie's face.
"Master!"
"ah!"
Only then did Cheng Shijie come to his senses.
At this time, Shen Mingyu lowered his voice and said, "My boss, do you want to..."
As he spoke, Shen Mingyu made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Cheng Shijie quickly shook his head: "No!"
Shen Mingyu said: "This little dwarf has such a dark heart, I will twist his head off right now!"
Cheng Shijie looked at Shen Mingyu in surprise. He found that when Shen Mingyu said that he wanted to kill Song Kangnian, he didn't have any nervousness or panic about killing. To Shen Mingyu, killing was like killing a chicken. .
"Ming Yu!"
Cheng Shijie asked: "Have you ever killed anyone?"
Shen Mingyu said unabashedly: "Killed!"
Cheng Shijie was shocked in his heart, but remained calm on the surface. This was a habit he had developed over a long period of time by working in the agency, and he remained calm at every change.
"several?"
"There must be dozens of them!"
Shen Mingyu's expression remained cold.
Cheng Shijie said: "You were once in the army, so you must have killed all the gangsters!"
"No, there are also brothers who don't listen to greetings, and there are also cowards who run away when they see Jiannu!"
Cheng Shijie was a little curious: "Aren't you a Guidewei? How did you meet Jiannu?"
Guide Mansion was Shangqiu in later generations, and Cheng Shijie still knew this bit of geographical knowledge.
"In the second year of Chongzhen, when the slaves were established and the customs were broken, Wang Qia, the Minister of War, issued a military order to summon the soldiers and horses from all over the world to be diligent!"
Shen Mingyu spoke softly.
Soldiers and horses from all over the world marched north to Beijing to serve the king. All the veterans in the officialdom know that this is like giving a gift to a superior. Although everyone gives it, the superior may not remember you when giving a gift, but who hasn't given it? Shangguan will definitely remember you.
Liu Jinxian, the commander of Guide Guard, was descended from Liu Bohui, the brave general who founded the Hongwu Dynasty, and Liu Bohui was the cousin of Liu Bowen, the sincerity uncle.
Liu Jinxian has long lost the martial prowess of his ancestors, and Guidewei has also lost his appearance under Liu Jinxian's violent conquests. He used his old age as an excuse to not go north to King Qin, but he captured 2,000 military households and selected 200 warriors from each thousand households in Guidewei, gathering together 3,000 men and horses, and prepared to go north to King Qin.
You must know that the two hundred elites in each thousand households are actually the unlucky ones that grandma doesn't care about and uncle doesn't love. None of the generals in Guidewei are fools.
Yuan Rong of Qianhu, who was directly in front of the Qianhu Office, took a cold bath all night in the cold weather that was more than ten years below zero in order to avoid leading the army. Dong Xi of You Qianhu was drunk, fell off his horse and broke his thigh. Later Qianhu Gan Yanshou died even more. He claimed to have discovered that his concubine was having an affair with his coachman, and was stabbed in the stomach and thigh by the angry coachman. , he was stabbed more than a dozen times...but the swords forced his vitals open.
Following the issuance of King Qin's edict, the entire Guide Mansion, from the commander down, including two commanders, four commanders, and five thousand households, were sick and injured, and almost the entire army was wiped out. As for Zuo Qianhu Shen Huanrong, Shen Mingyu's father, he actually imitated Song Huizong Zhao Ji and immediately passed on the hereditary position of Zuo Qianhu to his son Shen Mingyu.
In this way, Shen Mingyu, the eldest son born from his ex-wife, was temporarily appointed as Zuo Qianhu of Guide Mansion and led the three thousand elite Guards of Guide to the north as King Qin.
When King Guideweiqin's army arrived at Gu'an County, they encountered Jian Nu massacring Gu'an. Nearly half of Shen Mingyu's 3,000 elite soldiers had fled. Shen Mingyu slashed and killed more than ten people with his sword. Stabilized the position. Fortunately, Jiannu only sent out a team of 100 people at that time, which were actually scouts.
A team of 100 men almost killed the three thousand elite Guide Guards until they collapsed. At the cost of thousands of casualties, Shen Mingyu only captured five heads.
Jianu had no intention of occupying Gu'an in the first place. After a catastrophe in Gu'an City and killing more than 2,000 people in the county, he retreated voluntarily. Shen Mingyu led his troops to regain Gu'an County.
However, just as they left Gu'an City, the ailing commander Liu Jinxian entered Gu'an City. Then several other Qianhu officials led their confidants to Gu'an, including his father Shen Huanrong.
The battle was fought by Shen Mingyu, but the credit went to others. Later, when Guidewei arrived in the capital, was inspected by the Ministry of War, and was received by the emperor, it had nothing to do with Shen Mingyu.
Shen Mingyu was unbalanced and complained after being drunk. He was beaten by his father Shen Huanrong. If Shen Mingyu hadn't been cruel, he would have died in Fengtai at that time.
Cheng Shijie patted Shen Mingyu on the shoulder: "Mingyu, I don't even know how to persuade you!"
Shen Mingyu smiled faintly: "It's all over!"
"What are your plans for the future?"
"I... follow my boss!"
"Follow me?"
Cheng Shijie said with a wry smile: "I am still living for one day, count one day, maybe one day..."
Cheng Shijie actually wanted to tell Shen Mingyu that as long as he made enough money, he would never come back.
"Master, do you want it?"
Shen Mingyu also wanted to help Cheng Shijie kill Song Kangnian.
"Need not!"
"That's ten thousand taels of silver!"
"this……"
Cheng Shijie sighed and said: "I know, but Song Kangnian should get that money!"
While Cheng Shijie and Shen Mingyu were chatting, Song Kangnian was not asleep either.
In fact, his drinking capacity is not bad. As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food. This ten thousand taels of silver can make countless people crazy.
Song Kangnian's hearing was not bad. He listened to Cheng Shijie's reaction with a rhythmic purr. If Cheng Shijie wanted his life, he would never give it to him.
Song Kangnian even wanted to know what Cheng Shijie, who couldn't figure out his fate, would do with the ten thousand taels of silver.
Cheng Shijie smiled lightly and said: "There are not many people in this world who keep their promises. I am one of them. I told him that any money other than twenty taels is his, so it is all his."
