Goryeo, Mangsu Mountain area, the base camp of the expeditionary army.
“??,????????????????????????????????????,???????????? ???????????????,????????????????????????????????? ???????????? (Well, Mr. Jin Qingyuan, who was left behind in Jianghua, went out to redeem the city and send the Japanese pirates out of the country. How did he know about it? Furthermore, what should we do to conceal it as he said? Defeat becomes victory)?" Jin Qingyuan went out to redeem the city and send the "Japanese pirates" out of the country with gifts. Although this matter was not a secret, it was not a common rumor in the streets! Cui Mingji and Cui Dabanshu were surprised by the energy and well-informed information of his staff, so he put on the posture of Liu Huangshu who visited the thatched cottage three times and was thirsty for talents, and asked shamelessly.
“??????,???????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????,???????????? ???????????????????.????????????????????????????.???? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????(Master Jushu, Jianghua Liushou’s Jiaoyu Quan Fengyan is a close friend of mine. This time Jin Liushou sent someone to ask for help, and the messenger was Quan Jiaoyu’s nephew. Therefore, I already know about Jiang Hua. As for how to cover up defeat into victory, please listen to me explain it slowly)..." Facing his benefactor, Corporal Li Xian, the dog-headed military advisor Li Chengxuan did not dare to make excuses, and immediately put away his arty skills. He replied with a folding fan.
"??????????????????????????? (Then Mr. Cui will listen to your advice)!" At a glance, he saw that the defeated army was running all over the mountain. Most of them were gathered up by Shen Yuntai, and the enemy's forward troops also stopped to regroup a mile away from their own camp. Cui Mingji's tense heart finally relaxed, and he also had time to order fresh tea and snacks. He wanted to make wine on the watchtower, uh, no, make tea and discuss with Li Chengxuan what should be done next. He had successfully rescued himself from the abyss of defeat. If possible, he would also like the latter to give him detailed information on how he could better use the opportunity to turn defeat into victory and gain enough capital for his rise! Although this guy has already become an official, Cao Yanshu, he still wants to climb up the ladder before he becomes an official, and he wants to be a right-hand man or even a leader in political affairs.
“??????,????????????????????????????????????,?????? ??????????????????,??????????????????????????????? ??????.??????????????????,???????????????????????? ?????????????????????(Master Judgment, first of all, we can send envoys to negotiate with the enemy, talk to them about the conditions, and see how much they offer, if the demands are not excessive If so, we will reach an armistice agreement with them as soon as possible)..." Seeing his benefactor making tea and drinking tea, and wanting to imitate the ancient sages, Li Chengxuan naturally had to come up and flatter him, and saw this guy open his hand with a "snap" He shook his folding fan a few times, then sat down on the futon opposite Cui Mingji and started talking. However, when he heard him say that he would send an envoy out of the camp to contact the "Japanese pirates", the latter, who was covered in armor, stretched out his hand to interrupt his words and asked in an uncertain tone,
“??????,?????????????????????????????????????????? ??,???????????????????????????????????????????????? (Sir, the offensive and defensive momentum between the enemy and us has changed at this moment, how can you be sure that the Japanese pirates are willing to negotiate peace with us)?"
“??????,???????????????????????????.????,???????????? ????????????????????????.??????????????????????1?? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????. (Master Senshu, they will definitely be willing. After all, they retreated after collecting food in Jinjing Mountain City, and now we still have the strength to fight. They There is no reason to fight to the death with us)!" Faced with his benefactor's doubts, Li Chengxuan calmly picked up the tea cup, took a sip of the hot tea, and then continued slowly. In his opinion, since these pirates of unknown origin were willing to retreat after taking Jin Qingyuan's two thousand shi of food despite taking advantage of the right time, place, and people, there is no reason why they would be unwilling to make peace with their side now. After all, at this moment, they They do not have an absolute advantage, and they can make a comeback at any time. If they are really after money and food, they will not be in trouble with themselves!
"??????????????????,???????????????????????? (Then who should be sent over, What is our bottom line?" Satisfied that he had mastered the wisdom of the dog-headed military counselor, Cui Mingji picked up the bamboo spoon and added another spoonful of fragrant tea to the former.
“??????,?????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????.???????????????,??????????????? ???????.?????????????????????????????????????????? (Sir, if you believe me, then I will go to the Japanese pirate camp to negotiate with them. As for the bottom line, it is for them to withdraw their troops. We can also give them food and money like Jin Liushou, more food and money)..." Faced with Cui Mingji's inquiry, Li Chengxuan did not hesitate and took over the work of negotiating peace, but then the former's face turned pale. A trace of sadness appeared on his face, and his lips became swollen.
“?????????,??????????????????????????????????????? .????????????????????????????????????(Mr. Li, I am very happy that you can take the initiative to volunteer, but Where does this food and money come from?"
“??????,???????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????????????????,???? ???????????????,??????????????????????????????(Master Judgment, let’s fight for food The military can contribute part of it, but as for the money, we can only make a special donation in Jinpu. After all, this money is used to keep them safe. If we collect this money, it can be regarded as making the best use of it, right?" Damn it. , you pretend, you continue to pretend, others say that you Cui Mingji is a humble gentleman, with a breeze on his sleeves, but after following him for so many years, I have long known that this guy is not a good official who is as clear as water and as honest as a mirror. When it is time to be dark, this guy He is more thoroughly shady than anyone else. Now he asks himself where the money and food come from. He is just trying to use his own words to explain how to donate to the local government. He is really a bastard who wants to be a bitch and build an archway at the same time. !
“???,????????????????????????,??????,??????????????? ??????????????????,???????????????????????????? ???.???????????????????????????,??????????????????? ????????????,?????????????,????12????????????,? ???????????????????????????(Well, what Mr. Li said makes sense, let’s do this, you send someone to Jinpu County first, The county governor there is my student, and he is also a sensible person. In the name of the army, you can ask him to help us collect taxes. As for the amount, it is based on one dou of grain per acre of land and five taels of silver per household. Standard fee)..." Cui Mingji chatted for a long time. Feeling a little thirsty, he slowly drank a cup of tea before continuing,
"???????????????,????????????????????????30% ????????????,??????30%,30%???????????????,??????? ???,???????????????????????????????????????.????,?????? ????????????????????????????????????????????????(wait until When dividing, you can give him 30% of the grain and copper coins collected, and sell the other 30% to the Japanese pirates. As for the remaining 40%, sell the remaining 40% to the central government, open up the joints, and keep the remaining 40% for use in our army. After all, Repairing fortifications and boosting morale also require money and food, right?)..."
“??????????,??????????????????????,???????????????? ???????????????,??????????????????????,?????????? ?????????????????????????????????,?????????????????? ??????????????????(Your Majesty the judge is wise, I am far inferior to you. I will send someone to Jinpu County to explain the matter to the Governor and ask him to raise enough funds as soon as possible. The food and money will be escorted here for your use)!" When Cui Mingji's upper lip touched his lower lip, the people and merchants in and around Jinpu had to pay a special tax of one dou of grain and five taels of silver, and the governor of Jinpu , the Japanese pirates, the old man himself, and the adults far away in the capital can enjoy their benefits. How unfair and overbearing this is, but the common people as a vulnerable group are simply unable to resist. However, who cares? Anyway, it is not you who suffers the loss. On the contrary, as Cui Mingji and Cui Banshu's staff, the so-called three-point profit in handling the transaction is not even a little bit of it. Therefore, let Jinpu County and the people of Jinpu County Go to hell...
“????,?????????????????????,?????????????????????? ???.??????????????????,??????????????????????,??????? ?????????.??????????????????,?????????????????????? ???????????? (Very good, after raising enough food and money, I will send those nasty Japanese pirates away as soon as possible. The day they are here, I will be in a bad mood, so I will send them away early. , so that we can write some articles and erase all traces of our defeat)..." After instructing Li Chengxuan to collect special taxes, Cui Mingji, an old fox, began to turn his attention to covering up defeat into victory. Of course, , before that, he must send the culprit, the Chiyang Fleet, out of the country, otherwise, no matter how he operates, he will not be able to achieve the best results.
