Lin Xiangyu asked someone to come over to wait on her, and said with a smile: "A total of more than 1.5 million taels were sold, but the slave family spent more than 200,000 taels in one go.
Then he took out another three hundred thousand taels and sealed them in the warehouse as a ransom for the Supreme Emperor.
In the end, the whole number of one million taels was left, which was our family’s net profit. "
While Zhu Qiyu asked several beloved concubines to serve and change their clothes, he asked curiously: "More than two hundred thousand taels, wasted in one breath?"
"Hmm, the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities is in charge of martial law these days. My uncle Zhou Shou is personally working hard to stand guard there. The slave family must give me some hard work, otherwise I will be too ignorant of the world.
There were also more than a dozen brothels that we ransacked, and we finally got rid of them completely. Those sisters who have regained their civil rights and regained their freedom must be given some settlement expenses.
Furthermore, the Nu family selected a group of smart sisters to form the Goddess Pavilion to secretly collect intelligence for their husbands. Running such a secret organization requires a lot of money. And this is not a one-time deal, you will have to continuously invest money in it in the future.
In addition, in order to appease the remaining storekeepers and clerks in the shop industry, as well as the stewards and tenants of the various farms, the slave family rewarded everyone with an additional three months' monthly payment, and exempted the tenants from a year's land rent. In addition, all the tenants' previous debts were written off.
In short, one stroke in the east and one stroke in the west, more than two hundred thousand taels will be spent in a short time. "
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Okay, money is a bastard, you can still make money after spending it. I specially kept a group of Wang Zhen's cronies before and didn't raid their homes. Just in case we are short of money one day, we can always make more money." Copy a batch.
In addition, from the remaining one million taels, you can use another 200,000 taels to make some new clothes, make some new jewelry, and buy some fresh goods for your mother-in-law, your fifteen sisters, and the prince and princess. Playware.
We can't just serve the country and the people, but make ourselves miserable. "
"Oh, is that so good? My husband is truly the most generous and considerate slave owner in the world. We sisters kowtow to him."
As he said that, several beauties present made a gesture to kneel down. Zhu Qiyu waved his hand quickly: "That's all, my life is in your hands, it's not okay for you.
I don’t have any other intentions. As long as you don’t feed me any medicine, I will feel very grateful and thank you very much. "
As soon as Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, Mu Yu walked in carrying a bowl of sobering medicine porridge. Hearing this, Mu Yu stood there awkwardly, neither advancing nor retreating.
The two sides looked at each other for a long time, and Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to slap him in the face: "Hey, I just said casually, feed it, feed it, mouth to mouth. With a beautiful woman serving you verbally, I will take poison even if it is poison."
When the girls heard this, they became excited again.
There was no words all night, but early the next morning, the four Ming army camps outside the city were in full swing.
There were more than 200,000 Ming troops outside the city, divided into three groups. One hundred thousand people went out to camp and formed a formation today, and another hundred thousand people went out to fight tomorrow.
During the day, 200,000 people were responsible for taking turns to attack the Wala camp, and at night, 200,000 people were responsible for night attacks.
For twelve hours a day, three groups of Ming troops put pressure on the Oara army without interruption. According to the new emperor's request, the Ming army needed ten days to completely wear down the enemy's physical strength and will.
Zhu Qiyu, surrounded by a thousand personal guards, took Xu Yongning and Li Xuan to the top of Xizhimen City early to watch the mobilization of the army.
Since the destruction of Boluo's army, until now, the two sides have not fought again. Taking advantage of this period of time, the Ming court concentrated its efforts to create more tanks, firearms, crossbows and other ordnance. Therefore, as soon as the Ming army came out of the camp, they quickly formed three square formations with chariots.
There are more than 30,000 people in each phalanx, composed of cavalry, heavy infantry, musketeers, and artillery. It's still the old rule, use artillery, crossbows, and muskets to form three layers of fire coverage: far, middle, and near, and wait for the Ora cavalry to hit the muzzle of the gun.
However, what is different this time is that if the Ora cavalry does not take the initiative to attack, the three square formations of the Ming army will negotiate with each other and slowly move towards the Ora camp.
Seeing the orderly and orderly actions of the Ming army, Zhu Qiyu nodded repeatedly on the tower and couldn't help praising: "Sure enough, the Ming army is not satisfied with their pay, but they are invincible if they are fully paid.
The Ming army is well fed and paid, coupled with sufficient supplies of baggage and supplies, and strong generals who have been fighting for many years, it makes people feel safe. "
Having said this, Zhu Qiyu immediately complained to the two princes on his left and right: "You said that among the Ming army, the ones who were paid the most fully and promptly were the Jinyiwei.
But there are 150,000 Jinyiwei, and when it comes to life and death, they are completely unable to fight. If I had taken their salary and distributed it to the 150,000 elite frontier troops, my generals would have given me their heads as football balls. Oh, what a sin. "
Xu Yongning and Li Xuan actually nodded vigorously on the sidelines, expressing their agreement with Xinjun's views.
In other words, he was surrounded by his confidants. If it were someone else standing by, Zhu Qiyu would never dare to say such a thing. If the news that he wanted to attack Jin Yiwei spread, it would be fatal. The Jin Yiwei is not easy to use when killing enemies, but it may not be ambiguous when engaging in internal fighting.
We can't just complain. Zhu Qiyu did not continue this topic and turned to Xu Yongning and asked: "Dong Guogong, can you tell us how our battle is going?"
Xu Yongning said with a smile: "Your Majesty's strategic adjustment should be based on Wu Zixu's 'Three Divisions Weary the Chu' strategy. Let the Ming army take turns to go into battle, first make their own defenses impregnable, and then bombard the enemy camp with artillery.
Anyway, we have sufficient supplies. If Wala does not take the initiative to fight, our artillery will continue to bombard us. We will bombard them during the day and then bomb them at night. We will bombard them at night and then during the day.
Until the enemy is completely exhausted, we will fight again. "
Zhu Qiyu smiled and nodded, and asked Li Xuan: "What do you think, Duke Cao Guo?"
Li Xuan replied: "Wei Chen basically agrees with Ding Guo Gong's statement, but my thoughts are slightly different from Ding Guo Gong's."
"Tell me, Mr. Cao Guo."
Li Xuan continued: "The strategy of 'three divisions to tire Chu' proposed by Wu Zixu also imitated Jin general Xun Feng's 'three-thirds and four-army' strategy.
I feel that His Majesty's current deployment is more like Xun Feng's original strategy of 'three thirds and four armies'.
Xun Feng divided Jin's upper army, middle army, lower army, and new army into three parts. He took advantage of the Chu army's disadvantages of coming from afar, tired soldiers, and insufficient supplies to consume the Chu army in turn. Once this strategy was implemented, it had miraculous effects, and the Jin State once regained its dominance.
Today our Ming Dynasty is in a very similar situation. Its national power has been greatly damaged and it has been invaded by powerful enemies. His Majesty also divided the four battalions of troops outside the city into three, attacked in turn, and took turns to rest.
After the success of this battle, the Ming Dynasty will also revive again, and His Majesty will also achieve eternal hegemony. It can be seen that there are reincarnations in history. "
Li Xuan's flattery was so good. After hearing Li Xuan's words, Zhu Qiyu nodded even more vigorously and praised: "Good, good, good, my dear brother is worthy of being a descendant of King Qiyang. He really has a good family background and is quite knowledgeable in military affairs." .”
Here Zhu Qiyu and his two cousins were chatting leisurely and leisurely. Over there, Zhu Qizhen and Ye Xian were no longer in such a relaxed mood. A group of upper-class dignitaries and generals from Wala gathered together and quarreled in order to respond to the enemy.
