Ningbo is a commercial city, and its cultural atmosphere is different from that of ordinary big cities. Overall, the folk customs here are relatively open and inclusive than those of big cities like Nanjing. Although they also respect scholars and admire scholars, after all, they still admire power and money. Here a big businessman will receive the same respect as a talented man. Even if the businessman is a woman, as long as he is very good at doing business and has a very powerful backer behind him, everyone will still admire him.

Mrs. Xue was already a little famous in the business world of Ningbo. In the past, she just had to consider Lai En's feelings and avoid suspicion. She did not actively participate in the operation of the Chamber of Commerce. The Xue family has always been an important member in the Chamber of Commerce. This time she has Yang Chengzu as her backer and subdued the Chamber of Commerce, and she has no power.

She knew that after all, she was two years older than Yang Qin Clan, and the Yang family was full of beauty. If she only wanted to consolidate her relationship with this man by relying on her beauty, she would probably be thrown behind her head if she couldn't last for a few years. If she wanted to maintain the relationship for a long time, she had to show her excellence enough to let the man appreciate her skills and let him know that in addition to being able to warm the bed, she would do something else to be favored for a long time.

The matter of the new army was the first job given to her by Yang Chengzu, so she naturally did not dare to slack off. From the perspective of Ningbo, the merchants finally agreed to paying money to strengthen military equipment, and the work was easier to advance. This disaster made Ningbo merchants realize that the existing force could not guarantee their own safety in the face of real threats. In comparison, it was more stable to spend money on the new army.

Just like the Ming Dynasty in another time and space, the salt merchants in Yangzhou almost baptized the city by the Japanese pirates, so they paid for the construction of the Yangzhou exterior wall and formed the third camp of the Zaoyong. The Ningbo merchants in this time and space were also willing to invest in the army because they were really looted by the Japanese pirates.

Although their financial resources cannot be compared with those of Yangzhou salt merchants, they cannot afford to support the new recruits of the Third Battalion, but it is no problem to pay for a standing army of about a thousand people. Even the guards they had raised before had already exceeded this number. Now they are just cutting off those people on a large scale and spending this part of the money on the army, which does not increase much in expenses.

At the navy, Ningbo merchants were finally willing to pay a lot of money. Everyone raised a sum of money, saying that they wanted to build two warships and several ships, so that the government troops would not be allowed to go to war on fish boats.

After paying the money, they also made their own requests that the garrison could not use the original Ningbo guards, but they must use the workers from Yang Ji who could kill Japanese pirates.

Because of the deterioration of military guards in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty had already begun to recruit camp soldiers. This way of recruiting civilians was not unusual. For the government, a new army that could kill Japanese pirates could indeed protect local security. Now Fang Wenmian and Hu Bingzhang are almost the person in Yang Chengzu's bag. With their connections and the support of the Chamber of Commerce, a group of workers from Yang Ji officially became the imperial court's economic army, claiming to pacify the Japanese camp, and began an open and upright training.

This team of 1,000 troops includes more than 400 workers recruited by Yang Ji from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The other 600 people include loyal and honest children selected from the Ningbo military guards, as well as local citizens of Ningbo. Yang Chengzu built a Jingguan outside Ningbo City that day for the people to visit and vent his anger. This move has attracted popularity for Yang Ji. So much so that young children in Ningbo City are proud to be able to compete in Yang Ji.

Although the children of this kind of commercial city are not necessarily suitable for the requirements of the new army, considering that this army is a storefront and its salary mainly comes from the Ningbo Chamber of Commerce, there is always a group of Ningbo talents who are easy to talk to, and they can only be admitted out of order. Furthermore, eating alone is not fat. If there is friction between the new army and the military guards, then the work will not be able to continue. The current ratio not only ensures that the children of the military guards live in harmony with the new army, but the combat effectiveness of the new army will not be affected too much.

In Nanjing, about 2,000 new recruits had been transported with several ships of medicine and supplies, and Yang Chengzu's strength increased greatly. The interrogation of the prisoners also made great progress. Wang Tietou and others took turns to fight. After using various means, even the Iron Man had to speak. Soon, these confessions and evidence were summarized on Yang Chengzu's desk.

"Thank you!" Leng Feishuang threw the confession in her hand into the air with hatred. The sword flashed like the wind, and the confession turned into countless pieces. Yang Chengzu smiled.

"Why, this sword is good, right? You don't know how good our reputation is now, compared to what I was in Hua County when I heard that I was looking for a sharp weapon, a merchant immediately sent the Longquan sword. It is said to be his family heirloom, worth thousands of taels of silver, but he gave it to me like this, not even a penny. The only thing he asked for was to kill a few more people with this sword to avenge his dead son."

Leng Feishuang's face was much better than that day, and her face was also bloody. Her martial arts cultivation was high. Now she thought that Li Dazhi was not dead. Once the knot in his heart was gone, his body healing was also amazingly fast. She nodded, "Yes, I will definitely avenge the elders of Ningbo and seek justice for the master of this sword. When I am in better health, I will go to Nanjing."

"Then you are beaten to death by the servants of the Xie family? Don't be stupid. No matter how good your martial arts are, you will lose to four hands with both fists. There are many guards in the Xie family, and you will kill you like this, that's a death."

"I understand what you said, but I'm just not convinced. Your evidence can't condemn him at all, and I won't let me kill him. I'm a little unhappy just watching him freely and freely." Leng Feishuang looked at the piles of confessions in front of her. Although there were not many big bosses among the thieves, the confidentiality awareness among the bandits among the bandits was mediocre. Even if the minions were arrested, they might have a slight understanding of some information.

This operation of looting Ningbo, behind which was a big man like Xie Zun, and his gang leader Xie Ao was always a distant child of the Xie family, were easily questioned. However, if you want to use such evidence, you should convict Xie Zun, but the weight is not enough. He is a great scholar in the world and has many friends. This confession can be said to be the result of being sentenced to prison at any time, which is not enough to convict him.

Besides, he still has the identity of a royal relative, including how he tried his best to make Xie Zhaoyun the prince-consort. Now that I think about it, it is mostly for this amulet. Leng Feishuang's wisdom is extraordinary, so he naturally knows that relying on these things will not harm Xie Zunxing. But when she thinks of the tragic situation in Ningbo and the corpses of Xia Zai and others, she always feels that she can't vomit it out in her chest in one breath. Things shouldn't be like this, and such a villain shouldn't be at large.

"Saint, what we have to worry about now is not this. Xie Zun's family has great business and cannot escape. When God can't stand him, he will naturally take him away. What I am really worried about now is actually the reaction of Beijing, which not only determines the outcome of this battle, but also determines the future of the entire Southeast for decades."

Leng Feishuang also knew that the decision of the capital was the winner of this set. The purpose of the White Lotus Sect cooperated with Xie Zun in Ningbo was to carry out this bloodbath. The two stood side by side, silently praying for the millions of people in the southeast, hoping that they could avoid this continuous disaster of war.

What they didn't know was that just before the Ningbo Rebellion, the chief of the Xingwang Mansion and the new cabinet minister Yuan Zonggao died of illness, and the entire cabinet returned to Yang Ting and the dominant family. Mobile phone users should visit http://m.piaotian.net
