Chapter 2125: Shaking the morale of the military(1/2)
Wen Rensheng naturally saw this scene by checking Huang Taiji's movements.
He did not go north to take command personally.
When he gets a large ship of more than 2,000 tons, he will not sail on an ocean voyage.
That's all for offshore sailing in the * Gorge.
After all, with the results of his physical training, he could still swim for 100 kilometers with a piece of wood and a streamer in the warm southern sea.
If it is in the northern sea, unless the mysterious seed can take effect.
He directly passed the news through the Clippers again.
It takes about 7 to 10 days for this fast boat trip, assuming everything goes well.
He remembered that there was a super fast boat that could reach 60 knots per hour, or 100 kilometers per hour, under smooth winds and currents.
It only takes less than 2 days to arrive.
There is an urgent need for a way to deliver messages quickly.
Homing pigeons can do it.
The premise is to hold the harbor and start raising it now.
Carrier pigeons that have been raised locally are regularly transported to each other every month.
The principle of homing pigeons is to return home.
The flying speed of better homing pigeons can reach 90-150 kilometers per hour.
It was used until World War II, which shows its value.
But if you need to release multiple birds, you have to guard against being shot on the road, captured by an eagle, dying of illness, getting lost... and even having your information intercepted, so you need to regularly change the encryption method.
All in all, the cost is relatively high.
But we need to do it now.
So Wen Rensheng began to order the search for private pigeon breeders.
This pigeon breeds quite quickly, and once the breeding is successful, it will be easy to handle.
…………
At this moment.
Before the news from Wen Rensheng arrived, Yi Zijia also found out that Huang Taiji wanted to bribe his red-haired soldiers.
He laughed.
"This barbarian chief doesn't know the arrangements of our red-haired people at all, so he wants to bribe them. It's simply ridiculous." Yi Ziyi followed and laughed.
"Yes, we are a team of 100 people. We are led by a red-haired officer and a red-haired drummer. From there, we are directly responsible for our people. He can't find a target to bribe."
Zi Bing followed.
"Wait a minute, we can use this trick. For 1 million taels, we can forge a leader of the red-haired people." Yizi Yi had an idea.
"Yes, that's right." Yi Zijia nodded.
Soon the five people began to discuss how to win the trust of the other party, how to design the details of withdrawing the silver, and how to arrange internal responses so that the other party would lose both the silver and the troops.
After Yi Ziyi finished the discussion, he returned to his tent.
I talked to my staff again.
The staff system is a system with many disadvantages.
However, in this case, since Wen Rensheng could not use advanced methods, such as the staff group system, he could only allow the existence of private staff.
Come to help the chief officer solve a lot of chores.
At this time, the staff member had an idea.
"Proprietor, have you ever thought about putting on a fake show? That's one million taels." The staff member rolled his eyes and said immediately.
In his opinion, if he gets 1 million, he will share 50,000 and return to Jiangnan to become a rich man, so he won't have to wander at sea.
This is the result of not being able to see the general trend of the times.
They ran to the south of the Yangtze River, and within 20 years the Manchu and Qing Dynasties went south to massacre them again.
Upon hearing this, adopted son Yi was furious. He pulled out a knife and put it on the other person's neck: "You are so hateful, but that's my adopted father."
However, the staff was not afraid: "Even my own father, 10,000 taels of silver is enough to turn against him. To bribe a powerful official in the dynasty, it only costs 5,000 taels. The emperor can only borrow 3,000 taels at a time, but now it is 100,000 taels."
Wan Liang."
Yes, one million taels is definitely a huge number.
Liao's salary is only 4 million, and more than a dozen generals, military leaders of all sizes, as well as the cabinet and the Ministry of Household Affairs are all dividing the money.
It can feed 50,000 soldiers. As long as everyone can get it, they will be good soldiers who can fight in the field.
Yi Ziyi was silent.
The staff had already seen through this proprietor.
In the beginning, he was very loyal to his adoptive father, but as time went by, others changed their minds in five years, and he changed his mind in two years.
In short, there is no perseverance.
This is a very common thing.
It will be more or less similar in later generations.
If I can persist for two years, I would say that Wenrensheng’s skill in recognizing people is pretty good.
Many soldiers were still fighting hard in the field and were very brave. After entering the city, their feet and hands became weak in less than half a month and they could not hold on to the fierce battle.
It's Li Zicheng's hometown.
After entering the capital, he couldn't resist the attack from the Manchus and Wu Sangui, so he was chased and beaten all the way to death, but he failed to fight back.
Of course there are many factors.
Not as good as the Daxi Army, Zhang Xianzong also contributed Li Dingguo, and there was still some hope of a comeback in the later stages.
The human heart is like this and it has never changed.
Yi Ziyi walked back and forth.
Then he suddenly asked: "If I get the money, where should I go?"
The staff was overjoyed when they heard this: "We can go to the territory of the red-haired people, or to the island country."
"It's not good. The place where the red-haired people live is humid, humid, and smelly. The island country is full of ugly women. They all have white faces and black teeth. They look like they are going to vomit."
"Then go to Jiangnan."
"My adoptive father was a civil servant, and the south of the Yangtze River is a land of scholars. I went there to live in seclusion. I can be a commoner, but I can't enjoy it as a rich man. I can't spend the money I have. It's not as good as now. And I still have it.
I heard that my adoptive father has a place called Niangan, which specializes in eradicating adultery." Yizi Yi retorted.
The staff had nothing to say.
He just wanted to go to a county in the south of the Yangtze River to become a well-to-do rich man and live a low-key life as a landlord's concubine.
However, it is difficult to ask this proprietor if he still wants to show his face and spend wantonly.
Except for the Ming Dynasty, there are really not many places in this world that are suitable for them to run.
The key is that the language is not fluent, and there are no acquaintances in the local area. It is easy for outsiders to settle down and be robbed of their wealth.
Yizi Yi saw that his staff could not offer any solution, so he shook his head and said: "Oh, let's let this matter go. Don't mention it again in the future."
The staff member suddenly had an idea: "Then it would be better to defect to Donglu. At least there will not be infiltrated by Lord Bingbeidao."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Fuck you, if I defect to Donglu, can I still keep the one million taels of silver I got? Isn't that going to be sent back again?
"Is that so?" Without further ado, Yizi Yi raised his sword and killed this aide who was motivated by money...
He killed the other party because he found that the other party was not qualified at all.
It's okay to do some chores, but when it comes to big things, it's just a scam.
It is better to kill late than to kill early, and to kill early is worse than to kill now.
"Come here, bury Mr. Chiang. A spy came to make a surprise attack. Mr. Chiang fought bravely against the enemy and was accidentally killed by the enemy." He called two soldiers and dragged the man away.
The two soldiers just looked at each other, remained silent, dragged the man out and buried him.
Not long after they buried it, they wrote a secret letter and placed it under a flagpole somewhere.
After midnight, someone came down from the flagpole to dig up the secret message.
"The adopted son Yi killed his staff in the camp."
Similar things happened more than once.
This shows how terrible a million taels of silver is.
Later generations of veterans were fond of this move, which was often effective and even defeated their opponents without even using a single soldier.
