"What if the government wins the battle? Wouldn't we be shooting ourselves in the foot?" A smart businessman whispered his opinion.
Everyone looked at him as if he were an idiot. One of the oldest merchants closed his eyes and said slowly: "The government will definitely win. I have never doubted this. The strength of the imperial court has increased greatly in recent years, and the military has even more.
Hidden dragons and crouching tigers, Marquis Yun himself is also a warrior on the battlefield, and there is no problem in defeating the water thieves. However, we live on the edge of this large swamp and have seen countless scenes of the army encircling and suppressing the water thieves. Most of the officers and soldiers can win.
, but have the water thieves been wiped out?
No, they are just breaking into pieces and continuing to harm this vast swamp. Even if Marquis Yun's military situation is unknown this time, relying on the elite soldiers and generals under his command, it will not be a problem to break through, but the water thieves will take advantage of the situation to rush over. Now Yuezhou is
They will definitely attack the richest place on the edge of Daze.
Regardless of whether it is captured or not, Yuezhou will definitely be devastated. The land will be devastated for thousands of miles, and the government troops and water thieves will be fighting back and forth. You come and I go, fighting endlessly. Needless to say, in two years, the imperial court sent a large army to conquer the slaves.
From preparation to departure and then to the extermination of the water thieves, it doesn't take more than two years, right?
But in two years, is there still anyone in Yuezhou? Back then, Gai Jingtian turned Daze upside down. The current King of Hejian in the court almost died in Daze. Didn't more than 10,000 soldiers die here?
The floating corpses beside the military parade building were densely packed, and we hadn’t eaten the fish in the swamp for two years. You are all old, do you still remember the scene back then? The army won in the end, but is there anyone left in Yuezhou?
? It took almost twenty years to recuperate and gradually gain some popularity. I am sixty-three this year and I really can’t wait twenty years. Boss Liang, go ahead and return our land deed to Marquis Yun and bring back thirty percent of the silver coins. Those seven achievements
This should be the money we give to the imperial court to suppress bandits. After all, the imperial court has treated us well over the years."
After the old man finished speaking, he leaned his head on the back of the chair and burst into tears. He was not worried about the money, but because he felt sorry for the popularity Yuezhou had finally gathered. The painful experience that year made the old man heartbroken.
Seeing the old man crying, the other merchants also cried out, but this time they were just feeling sorry for their own silver coins.
When Boss Liang went back to the Governor's Mansion, he found that the atmosphere in the Governor's Mansion was very bad. Everyone had the same look, and soldiers were coming in and out. After a while, Boss Liang saw as many as five or six groups leaving.
After finally waiting until he saw Yun Ye, he realized that Yun Ye's eyes were red and the table was in a mess. When he saw Boss Liang coming in, he sighed and said, "Can't you give me some more confidence? As long as Shuai Jiannian
Water Thief, Xincheng will still execute according to the original schedule, why do you need to refund the money at this time? "
"Marquis Yun is a famous general, and the soldiers under his command are fierce soldiers. We have never doubted that the Marquis will definitely win this battle. However, when the Marquis wins, Yuezhou will be finished. What will happen?
It has become a scorched earth. It will take at least twenty years to restore our connections. We cannot afford to wait." Boss Liang knelt behind Yun Ye and cried bitterly, because he already knew from Yun Ye's words that Yun Ye was very clear about what he was facing.
What kind of water thieves are they, and the exact number of water thieves is already known.
"Qian Sheng, let them do it and refund 40% of the amount, because at least they understand that Shuai will not fail." Qian Sheng stood up from the desk at the back, took the land deed from Boss Liang, and took him there
Get silver coins from the treasury.
Boss Liang went back gratefully with 40% of the silver coins. Yun Ye sat behind the desk and didn't speak for a long time. Han Cheng didn't speak either, just sitting with Yun Ye from dusk to sunset, until Qian Sheng
After coming in and lighting candles, Yun Ye discovered that the moon had already come out.
There was thunder in the distant mountains, and the thunder carried far away in the silent night. If you want to transfer the people in Yuezhou City, the only place to go is the distant mountains. Only by leaving the battlefield far away can they face the war.
the suffering.
There are many wild beasts and poisonous insects in the mountains, making it impossible for people to live there, so Gouzi and Shan Ying are playing drums with the mountain gods. Only in this way can they drive the poisonous snakes and beasts to more remote places. This time there is a lot of gunpowder brought from Chang'an, and the gunpowder made by Qingque is very effective.
The effect is much better than that created by Yun Ye himself, so the sound is crisper.
Qian Sheng looked at the bright moon above his head, heard another thunder, looked at Yun Ye in shock, wanted to ask questions, but held back, and finally fell into silence.
"Old Han, Old Qian, I obviously made a lot of money, why can't I feel even the slightest joy? My heart is empty. I would rather they all treat me viciously than see them treat me badly.
Why are you begging with tears and tears? Old Qian, at least you are right, I am indeed not a good person."
After listening to Yun Ye's words, Qian Sheng banged his big belly several times before saying: "If you tell me why you think you can wipe out all the water thieves in Yuezhou, I will punish you."
To make a heartfelt evaluation, I just ask you why you are so confident. Don't tell me nonsense about your wisdom and strength. I want to listen to the truth."
Yun Ye smiled bitterly. After getting along with each other for this period of time, these two people were indeed two trustworthy people. Although they had many shortcomings, they were definitely two good men who could be trusted with their lives.
Seeing that Han Cheng was also listening, Yun Ye whispered: "There is no special reason. The reason why I have such confidence is because the leader of the water thieves is my adviser."
Qian Sheng's plump body suddenly jumped up from the chair. He covered his mouth with one hand in a very vigorous manner, and pointed at Yun Ye with the other hand tremblingly, whimpering. He looked very scary.
Han Cheng was like a deflated rubber ball, lying limply on the chair, staring at Yun Ye in horror. He could not have imagined that there really was such a person in the world who looked at every step he took.
They all have a purpose, and every sentence has a special purpose. Could it be that this is what others call a talent? Why can't I do it myself?
Qian Shengfu wrote furiously on the case. After a while, he put down the brush and raised the paper in front of Yun Ye. He saw what was written on it: "You sent people to gather all the water thieves together?"
Yun Ye nodded and said: "Yes, that's the case. The water thieves always have to be exterminated, but these people are clustered in clusters here and there and it's hard to do anything with them, so I gathered them all and prepared to fight them all."
."
Qian Sheng burned the piece of paper on the candle to ashes, then threw it in the basin to stir up the flowers. Then he took two steps, turned around and said to Yun Ye: "I am pretty sure now.
To give you an evaluation, you are a real bastard. This is a new word he learned from Yun Ye.
