Zhu Ying's guess was very accurate.
Dao Yan, who was thousands of miles away, was really worried.
"After all, the poor monk underestimated His Highness Changsun. He originally thought that there were only a few tens of thousands of horses at most, but he never thought that there were actually as many as 150,000."
Looking at the soldiers gathering outside the tent, Yao Guangxiao thought to himself that he knew very well that there were probably not only 150,000 troops now, but almost 200,000.
Ever since Yao Guangxiao took the big rooster talisman and ordered all the lurking personnel of the Heroes Chamber of Commerce in Goryeo to do their best to help, there was a steady stream of people coming to help.
In fact, Zhu Ying did not expect this situation. He just continued to penetrate Goryeo according to his thoughts.
This kind of penetration is not just official, it is multi-level, and the biggest impact is on business.
Using sharp weapons such as snowflake salt, it can be said that many members of the Goryeo landlord class were kidnapped. Coupled with an army of hundreds of thousands, many Goryeo landlords thought it was a good opportunity to make a fortune.
This directly formed a herd effect, and more and more landowners arranged for their military officers to join in the war against Japanese pirates and the Japanese country.
The most motivated people were, of course, the Goryeo people, landlords and others in the coastal areas who had been repeatedly attacked by Japanese pirates.
Our ancestors have suffered so much for generations, and this time we finally have a chance to fight back, and we must take revenge.
Coupled with the secret propaganda of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, they promoted, seduced, and spread throughout Goryeo.
The Japanese country is so rich and has plundered so much wealth from Goryeo. Now is the best time. If you miss this village, you will not have this store.
This kind of overwhelming propaganda has a very powerful impact in Goryeo in this era.
The combination of various factors has led to Yao Guangxiao's current situation.
"Master National Adviser, the food and grass in our army are starting to be somewhat insufficient now. We can't keep up with the food transportation. Too many people have surrendered. Do we need to postpone it for a while?"
The person who asked the question was Wei Guang. Next to Wei Guang was Zhao Pang, the close interrogator.
These two people were the envoys who escorted Zhao Xiangxi to the Ming Dynasty.
The difference is that Zhao Pang was born and raised in Korea and later joined the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, while Wei Guang had followed Zhu Ying's soldiers a long time ago and was sent to Korea to work undercover and be promoted to general.
Now maybe he should be called the general. Daoyan is the nominal commander. In fact, in matters like war, professional soldiers are more reliable.
Wei Guang is very distressed now. This is the first time he has been distressed because he has too many soldiers.
The food originally prepared for an army of 150,000 people is now registered at 180,000, and this is despite continuous improvement in screening.
If we let go, we might easily exceed 200,000 people.
With the current food supply, it is estimated that they may not last even a month, not to mention that in one and a half months, they will go on an expedition to Tsushima Island.
Wei Guang has been extremely worried lately, and Zhao Pang next to him is also looking grim.
On the other hand, Yao Guangxiao, who was at the head, looked calm, as if everything was as expected.
"Don't worry too much. The poor monk has rushed to send the current situation to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, His Highness Changsun. I think it won't take long to resolve the matter."
At this point, Yao Guangxiao could only move out the big Buddha of His Highness Changsun to stabilize people's hearts.
Sure enough, Wei Guang and Fatty Zhao suddenly became excited when they heard that His Highness Chang Sun was aware of the situation here.
Especially Wei Guang, he was full of energy instantly.
This is Zhu Ying's strong personal worship. In Wei Guang's heart, there is nothing that his boss can't do. Many miserable situations and dangers that seem to be helpless can be easily disintegrated by his boss's hands.
This is not blind trust, but the accumulation of too many things.
"Since my boss knows about it now, it seems there is nothing to worry about. When I go back and talk to my brothers, it will be fine."
"But Sir, now that my boss knows about it, can we relax the restrictions on recruiting soldiers and recruit more soldiers?"
"In terms of time, there should be enough time. My boss is always fast, so I don't think it's a big problem."
Wei Guang said to himself, even though he still looked dejected just now, just the word "owner" made him get excited.
Fatty Zhao next to him tried to persuade him: "General Wei, it's better to be more stable. If my boss mobilizes supplies, I'm afraid it might take two months, and it won't necessarily be that fast."
"If there is some difference by then, I'm afraid problems may easily arise."
After hearing this, Wei Guang calmed down and nodded after thinking.
Although he felt that his boss must have a way, military affairs were ever-changing and it was always right to be cautious.
Yao Guangxiao looked at Wei Guang's appearance and muttered in his heart:
"What kind of ecstasy soup did His Highness Changsun give these people? It's so terrifying that it's simply unfathomable."
"This Wei Guang is usually a shrewd and capable general. His marching formations are well organized and he is good at fighting. How come when he hears His Highness Changsun, he becomes like a Buddhist ascetic like me, without any doubts."
Ranwen
"His Royal Highness Changsun may be able to provide a lot of food, but if we want to really solve the problem, I'm afraid it's beyond our reach. The most likely way is to mobilize food from the Ming Dynasty."
"But if we adjust food from Daming, things will be difficult to handle in the future. Li Chenggui also has many excuses."
"On balance, this is probably the only way to do it. As the so-called two powers harm each other, whichever is the lesser, even His Highness Changsun should not be able to come up with a better solution."
"If it works, it won't affect the Ming Dynasty's actions after next spring. Otherwise, if this side collapses, the consequences will be huge."
Yao Guangxiao's expression remained as usual, even smiling because he mentioned His Highness Changsun just now.
In fact, I was very worried. Once the food was gone, the army might collapse on its own soon. That would be a complete joke.
Yao Guangxiao's eyes flashed with fierceness.
If it doesn't work, he can only attack Tsushima Island in advance, attack by force, and use casualties and plunder to relieve the food pressure. This is also the last resort.
...
In Kunning Palace, Zhu Ying was still thinking about Yao Guangxiao's countermeasures.
The more feasible method at present is to start a war in advance. If there is not enough food, grab it. If there are too many people, then fight.
If many people die, natural food will be enough.
"Your Highness, if we don't discuss with His Majesty and secretly adjust the grain, we can at most make a roundabout way and transport it from the sea, pretending to be an external purchase."
"Now that the Ming Dynasty's autumn grains are in place and the national treasury is full, there shouldn't be too many problems."
Ye Yueqing suggested again.
The consequences of the collapse of the army are unbearable for both Yao Guangxiao and the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.
Once it fails, the Qunying Chamber of Commerce's layout in Goryeo will suffer heavy losses, or even be unable to recover.
And Li Chenggui will never miss this opportunity. He will definitely take a bite and tear off a large amount of flesh and blood from the giant tiger of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.
Zhu Ying was originally brewing when she heard Ye Yueqing mention the word 'extra'.
Suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Perhaps I have been in the capital for a long time, and I have almost forgotten all these people in the extra chapter. Fortunately, it is not too late to think of them now."
Zhuying murmured.
Ye Yueqing was a little confused after hearing this, but at this time, she did not ask but remained silent, fearing that it would disturb His Highness Changsun's thoughts.
After pondering for a while, Zhu Ying's plan was basically completed.
Then he told Ye Yueqing: "Send my secret message immediately to all the noble forces around Goryeo, including those on the grassland and elsewhere."
"In the name of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, let's say that the current Goryeo Imperial Master and Master Daoyan are secretly arranged by our Qunying Chamber of Commerce, and their purpose is to seize the domestic money of Japan."
"Then make a big announcement to me. Overseas merchants discovered a huge silver mountain in Japan, named Iwami Silver Mountain."
"Including the news that the Ming Dynasty will launch troops in the spring next year, it was also released to me, saying that the Ming Dynasty will send out 600,000 troops to attack the Japanese country, and it is bound to occupy Iwami Yinshan."
"Now the Qunying Chamber of Commerce does not want to be alone and is willing to share with many forces. We don't need to use troops for the time being. We only need enough money to invest."
"With the reputation of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, for those who are hesitant about some big forces, I promise to increase the supply of snowflake salt. If it is false, I am willing to compensate for all losses."
"Mobilize all the lurkers in the dark. I will spread this wind to all countries in the shortest possible time, centered on Goryeo."
"Tell everyone that the minimum term for this cooperation is ten thousand shi of food. If you can't get it, you won't be eligible for this profit sharing."
"In the first batch of recruitment, only ten places are nominally allocated, and more are not required. The availability of rooms for the second batch of places will depend on the situation at that time. When the time comes, it will not be at this price."
"Wealth can be found in danger. I don't believe that such big news can be solved."
After hearing this, Ye Yueqing said with some worry: "Your Highness, this time is of such a large scale, especially if it involves outside the Ming Dynasty. After this time, I am afraid that the reputation of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce for many years will be directly wiped out."
"Even chambers of commerce outside the Ming Dynasty will suffer strong retaliation and suffer heavy losses."
Although what His Highness Changsun said was very reasonable, Ye Yueqing immediately realized that this was almost the same as the last disaster relief method.
Even larger and more involved.
Those profiteers in the Ming Dynasty can directly kill them according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty and let these debtors wipe out their dead debts, but now they will definitely not be able to survive outside the Ming Dynasty.
And afterwards, the branch staff will definitely suffer a huge blow. The Qunying Chamber of Commerce will fall from the altar and become a rat that everyone screams for.
Zhu Ying smiled, her white teeth glowing coldly.
"The quagmire of war is not so easy to escape. This is completely different from the situation of disaster relief."
"First of all, it is true that Shi Jian Yin Shan, and it is also true that Ming Dynasty went to war. These news are enough to make many forces crazy about it. Who doesn't want to take the opportunity to make a fortune behind Ming Dynasty."
"Secondly, defeating the Japanese country is not something that can be completed in a day or two. With so many forces involved, the Japanese country basically has no hope of winning. It can be said that the chance of winning is very small."
"This is different from when the Yuan Dynasty attacked Japan. The Japanese country faced not only the Ming Dynasty and Korea, but also a large number of noble forces."
"In the end, Japan was captured, or Iwami Ginzan was captured. The personnel of these forces were basically severely injured."
"Yinshan, people have to dig it slowly. It depends on whether they can afford to wait."
Hearing His Highness Changsun's explanation, Ye Yueqing was truly shocked.
This kind of strategizing method is simply using the people of the world as pawns to stir up troubles.
Ye Yueqing can no longer imagine what will happen when the time comes, and what a small Japanese country can do to fight against it.
This is an upright conspiracy. Under the influence of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce regardless of losses, almost all the forces involved will have huge ambitions.
And in this case, it’s not like anyone can just say not to participate.
There are several forces, and everyone is participating. If you don't participate, you will be isolated first, and you may be eaten directly in the next step.
This is the coercion of conspiracy.
With the current influence and credibility of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, it is completely possible to reach this level.
Not to mention the guarantee of reputation.
It sounds false, but these days, doing business depends on reputation. The effect of a good reputation is doubled.
"Your Highness, I will handle this matter now." Ye Yueqing said with excitement in her tone.
Something like this, which was enough to leave a mark in history, was happening right in front of her. How could she not be excited.
Who says that only men want to leave a name in history.
Zhu Ying nodded and ordered: "Find someone with good writing skills and write the slogan first. Don't be too elegant. Write it in the form of vernacular."
"Simplicity, straightforwardness, and roughness are the key points of this slogan. Don't make any pretense or use rhetoric. Those outsiders have never read any books."
Ye Yueqing nodded heavily and said: "Follow the palace's order."
After Ye Yueqing left, Zhu Ying showed a little excitement.
This kind of generosity was his first time in the Ming Dynasty.
If people in later generations hear it, they will clearly understand that this approach is a very famous Ponzi scheme in later generations.
The first price for this is the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.
Some of what he said to Ye Yueqing just now were true, and some were comforting.
But what is certain is that after this huge scam, the Qunying Chamber of Commerce will disappear.
But what does this matter? Before the scam was completely exposed, the Chamber of Commerce personnel must have withdrawn long ago.
When these people return to the Ming Dynasty, they will just change their names and continue to do the same things as before.
As for the name Qunying Chamber of Commerce, what does Zhu Ying care about now?
Zhu Ying had already started laying out preparations for Xuehuayan's technology around the capital.
Those industries in the Western Regions have been gradually relocated to the capital in the past year or two, forming a huge industrial chain integrating R&D and manufacturing.
Started the Daming Industrial Factory model.
"The mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind. In this wave, I am both a mantis and an oriole. How can I lose when a flying dragon rides on my face?"
"When they fall into the quagmire of the war against Japan, they will be unable to bear any impact, and they will not be able to bounce back."
"When that time comes, hey, just obediently fall into my arms."
