Things in the world are like this. As long as there are benefits, the efficiency of work will be greatly improved. Jinling is not far from Yangzhou. Huang Daozhou had to wait for more than ten days for the Nanjing Forbidden Army. Under the personal supervision of the Minister of War, they arrived within five days.

Yangzhou City.

With a bill of lading worth 150,000 taels in his arms, Ma Shiying felt his arms were heavy. He made 200,000 taels of silver in one favor, which set a new record even in Ma Shiying's history of corruption.

Under the new achievements, Ma Shangshu was neither arrogant nor arrogant. In the spirit of fearlessness and sternness, he sold four thousand fire guns from the Jinling military reserve to Huang Daozhou.

The money was scraped clean, and ten thousand taels of silver were taken away from the Yangzhou treasury.

Carrying the heavy amount of money, Ma Shiying left with satisfaction. Along with him were two thousand soldiers under his command, escorting the most glorious victory in his career.

On the way back to Jinling, Ma Shiying heard the news. Wu Sangui, the chief director of the weapons inspection recruited by Wen Tiren, had rebelled, along with the Dutch envoy named Kui Yi. They led people to plunder Suzhou

city, and then seized two seagoing ships that had just been built by the Suzhou Shipyard. With the results of the robbery, they went down the river without knowing where they were going.

Ma Shiying didn't feel surprised at all. Both of them were back-and-forth guys. Now it's no big deal if they go back and forth again.

The problem now is to rush to Jinling as soon as possible, with the old immortal Huang Daozhou taking charge. Yangzhou can probably be defended for a few days. I can take advantage of these few days to collect some gold and silver at home. I will take the two thousand men with me and feed them with silver.

The full soldiers go to Yunnan!

The imperial court was going to move to Yunnan. This was something that only a few important ministers such as Ma Shiying and Wen Tiren knew about. Even the Yongli Emperor Zhu Yujian who lived in the Linhu Palace did not know about such an arrangement!

Now that I have this kind of net worth, I estimate that I will live a pretty good life in Kunming. At least I will have wealth in this life!

As for the future of the Ming Dynasty, I am already fifty this year. I still have a few more years to live. Who cares about the flood after I die?

"Master Shangshu returned to Jinling. Fortunately, Jinling not only allocated a lot of firearms to us, but also allocated a lot of gunpowder. I asked Commander Zhang of the Forbidden Army, and he said that we couldn't finish the ammunition in half a year."

The Yangzhou capital commanded Zhang Rusong, the minister of state affairs, to salute the zodiac week.

"Yes! Ma Shangshu still does things." Huang Daozhou nodded with satisfaction. He has been in the officialdom for decades and he knows better than anyone else. Those who can do things with money these days are considered good officials.

"Commander Zhang said that the Liao army seems to have begun to move towards our Yangzhou."

"Hmph! We in Yangzhou now have strong troops and horses, but we are still afraid of the mere Liao army. Let them come and die as many as possible. We must defend Yangzhou. We must not let the barbaric Liao army get involved in our land of beauty and wisdom in the south of the Yangtze River."

"All the evil deeds of the Liao army have been told to the people. The people heard that the Liao army wanted to shave their heads and change their uniforms, but no one was willing. In the past few days, the conquests and corvee strengthening of the city wall have been carried out. Not only the big families have money to pay

Ordinary farmers are also able to contribute! Many of them have already served as corvees, and now they come to the construction site to help on a voluntary basis. Do you think the treasury will allocate some money to give them some wages?"

"Yes! The morale of the people is good, but the officials will not take advantage of the people in vain. Now the treasury is tight, and no one is paying ten big coins and receiving two kilograms of rice every day!" Ma Shiying was severely scratched.

After that, Huang Daozhou is now very stretched. But no matter how hard it is, he is not willing to suffer the people.

"Your Excellency, you really love the people like your own children! I have sent hundreds of thousands of Yangzhou people to you. I thank you, Your Excellency." Zhang Rusong gave a deep salute, and his head was almost stuffed into his crotch. It seemed that otherwise, he could not show his respect for Your Excellency.

Love.

"Lord Fu Zun, the road here is slippery and I will support you." He carefully sent Huang Daozhou away, and Zhang Rusong told the soldiers: "Go and tell those mud-legged people that I will help them get five big bucks a day."

, plus a pound of rice. Let those mud-legged people work harder, maybe the Liao army will arrive at the city tomorrow."

"No!" the soldier responded and went to deliver the order.

"Tell Madam to pack up the things at home quickly. Damn it, the Liao army is coming soon. Let her carry all the things at home to the boat. Master, we will go back to our hometown in Jiangxi after I get on the boat." As soon as the messenger left, Zhang Rusong

He whispered instructions to his steward behind him.

"No! I will go and inform my wife right now to load all the goods on the boat." The steward disappeared in a flash, his speed was three points faster than the messenger.

"Damn it, I didn't expect being a pirate to be so enjoyable." Wu Sangui played with a string of pearl necklaces in his hands. Each pearl on the necklace was the size of a long eye. Wu Sangui could be considered a wealthy man, so such a big pearl necklace

This is the first time I’ve seen it. I don’t know if the hostess is wearing it as a necklace or as a Buddhist bead.

"Hahaha! What is this? I've already inquired about it. There are two shipyards along the way. Even if there are no built ships at this time, there are still ships being repaired. Let's capture some ships and bring them with us.

The ship goes to sea.

Going south along the coastline, we can reach the island of Java. Although the Dutch have a governor there, their weapons are not as good as ours, and their army only has two to three hundred people. It will be very easy for us to defeat them. Defeat them.

Java is ours.

When the time comes, you will have countless slaves, and you will become the new king there. Even if you become the emperor there, no one will have any objections." Kui Yi happily played with a large gold tooth that weighed one or two weights.

!Use your fingers to carefully wipe off the blood on the big gold tooth.

"We can rob all the way along the Yangtze River. His grandma's can't fit on a few more ships." Wu Sangui loved the life of a pirate to death. He felt that this was the best way to realize the value of his life.

The huge ship docked at the pier, and hundreds of warriors who screamed "Ao" and "Ao" rushed down to the deck on the cables. Pistols and machetes were waved in the crowd, and broken limbs and hot blood were scattered everywhere.

People were being driven away like sheep. They screamed in fear and howled miserably. The cry was the most beautiful music. They led this group of desperadoes to capture the city. Dragging the long knives in their hands, "Ha

"Ha" you laughed as you walked on the stone streets, the houses on both sides were blazing fire. Countless cowardly people fled in front of you, like a rabbit that only saw a tiger.

Only at such times did Wu Sangui feel that he was a king and the ruler of the world!
