Many people are willing to do such good deeds as dead Taoist friends and not dead poor Taoists, especially Gao Jie. Historically, he and Huang Degong competed for land and cut each other off. It can be said that Chang Yu has already got his pulse and knows that he is happy to do this.
It was better than this, so we hit it off immediately without even a trace of hesitation.
"That fellow Liu Zeqing, I've long thought that he was not in his way. He is timid and fearful but also has many evil intentions. As for Liu Zeqing, he is simply a scumbag." Gao Jie was in high spirits, drank a lot of wine, and started to speak loudly: "As for them, they
I really want to trick him. Since the Emperor is interested, I will take care of this matter for you..."
Chang Yu smiled slightly and knocked on the table: "You can drink wine as much as you want, but you can't say anything casually. What do you want to do? Don't involve the emperor, let alone the governor." Gao Jie was excited: "Yes, yes, it's a delinquent faux pas, a delinquent faux pas."
, This is a personal grudge between Humble Job and Er Liu."
He has long forgotten about this alliance. Damn it, I will never get along until you two die.
Gao Jie is very clear about this, he is very open-minded, and it is in line with his trouble-making personality. When he was a thief, he dared to cuckold Li Zicheng, which was very impressive.
"If you don't like the Japanese, the governor will go south to supervise the war. At that time, I will take you three as the vanguard. You can take the opportunity to encroach on me, and I will secretly help you." Seeing Gao Jie agreeing to this, Chang Yu opened the window and spoke openly.
Gao Jie was overjoyed but also a little surprised: "Going south? Are we going to fight Bai Wang or Zhang Xianzhong?"
"Come one by one, everyone has a share." Chang Yu sneered. Gao Jie lowered his head and thought, "It's not easy to march long distances. Does the factory supervisor want to defeat the bandits with just three of my troops? There are many mountains and deep forests in the south, and the bandits will be difficult to deal with."
”.
"It's so troublesome that I don't need the governor, Zuo Liangyu can handle it." Chang Yu snorted, and Gao Jie took a long breath: "Although Zuo Liangyu has tens of thousands of troops stationed in Wuchang and Jiujiang, Jingzhou Xiangyang to the west and Ruian to the east
They are all intruders in the territory of the bandits. He can't think about the future...and the bandits are extremely difficult to deal with. If they can't be beaten, they will run into the mountains. As soon as you withdraw your troops, they will come out again..."
"Look at you complaining on Zuo Liangyu's behalf, aren't you very friendly?" Chang Yu chuckled, Gao Jie curled his lips: "You are an old and cunning person, I don't want to be with him, I have a bad relationship with him, I am just a low-ranking person, I just discuss things as they are, so that the factory supervisor can have some peace of mind.
Be prepared, the bandits in the mountainous area are difficult to fight, and the three troops and horses like us are too weak."
Chang Yu smiled: "It doesn't take much to listen to what others are saying. I just said that you three will be the vanguard. Of course, there will be a vanguard, a main force, and a rear army. Don't worry, we have enough manpower."
Gao Jie frowned: "Not Zhou Yuji, even Huang Degong must go. Hey, supplying food and grass to so many soldiers and horses is a big problem." After all, he is a leading general and knows the importance of food and grass.
"So I want to ask you for a solution. This issue of food and fodder for tens of thousands of troops is really embarrassing for me." Chang Yu squinted his eyes and smiled, Gao Jie couldn't help but trembled in his heart, "I won't think of this."
He said: "There is nothing you can do as a factory governor, what can you do if you are a humble official, but I am self-sufficient in food and grass for the three departments, and the imperial court should be able to provide the rest."
Chang Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Look how many people in the capital have enough to eat. The capital is short of food. No matter whether the people are short of food at home, there is also a shortage of military food. Otherwise, why did I force you to use your money to pay for it?"
"Then... well, the court should have other solutions." Gao Jie shrugged.
"Of course there is a way, just borrow it. Whoever has food can borrow it." Chang Yu looked at Gao Jie and chuckled. The guy suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body. "This is also a way, but you have to borrow it from someone who has food."
, to King De of Jinan..."
"Why are you so poor?" Chang Yu still had the same look in his eyes. Gao Jie was so excited that he actually named a person: "Liu Zeqing, he has been operating in Jinan for several years and his family is rich..."
Hey, Chang Yu's eyes lit up. He originally wanted to force Gao Jie, but he didn't expect that this guy actually bit out a big fish that he had ignored. Liu Zeqing's status and wealth in Jinan are indeed better than King De, at least for now
yes!
No one knows exactly how rich Liu Zeqing is, but he is definitely not inferior to any noble and wealthy family in the capital. He has been suppressing bandits in Shandong for many years. In fact, he does the same business as a bandit, but the bandit robs secretly. He is aboveboard. In previous years,
His greatest pleasure in Linqing was to launch troops and plunder every day.
In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen's reign, Zhou Yanru entered the cabinet and came to Beijing from his hometown to report on his duties. In order to curry favor with him, Liu Zeqing rushed from Linqing to Yangzhou and gave Zhou Yanru 20,000 taels of gold. As expected, he was promoted to Shandong's commander-in-chief not long after.
Twenty thousand taels of gold, just took it out!
Do you think his family has a strong family background?
Not only does his family have a strong financial background, he also dominates Jinan, even the governor of Shandong, Wang Gongbi, has been ousted by him.
Chang Yu smiled happily as there was another big landowner who was kind and charitable.
After eating and drinking, Gao Jie left the Dongchang Yamen. When he came, he was worried and had a gloomy face. He was drunk and humming a tune with a smile on his lips. Chang Yu in the lobby of the Yamen was shaking his fan and squinting. Next to him, Chunxiang was in admiration: "You
If he were not a eunuch who entered the court as a minister, he might not have been able to join the cabinet. The ability of such a scheming person should be second to you in the court and no one will be first."
"Stop talking nonsense." Chang Yu opened his eyes and stretched. He was a little tired after not sleeping all night: "Inform Tu Yuan and others that the soldiers of the fourth battalion should retire and be replaced. They will have a few days to relax."
The Fourth Battalion of Dongchang suffered a lot of damage in the battle south. According to the full quota of 300, it should be replenished. With the high salary and good treatment of the Fourth Battalion, it is not difficult to recruit soldiers. It is rare that the commanders of each battalion have a high vision and want to recruit some harsh enemies.
.
"It's time for Gongziying to have a group of retired people again," Chunxiang muttered. Unlike the other three battalions, Gongziying can apply for retirement once they participate in the battle and use another amount to make a living. This is the privilege of being eunuchs and Chang Yu gave them
It is a kind of benefit, but it is different from the other three battalions, which can only be retired after two years or injury.
"We eunuchs are all miserable people. They enter the palace camp just to fight for wealth. If they die in battle, it will be considered a relief. If they are lucky enough to survive, they can receive a large sum of money to support themselves in old age." Chang Yu took a long breath and said: "I will try my best in the future.
Let them avoid going to the battlefield."
"Reporter to the factory, General Li sent people over to say that he and General Zhou and others will hold a banquet in the big world tonight..." Before the outsider finished speaking, Chang Yu interrupted him: "Send a message to all the ministries tonight.
A banquet will be held in the Xianju Building inside Chaoyang Gate to celebrate their achievements. Be sure to attend, and by the way, there will also be people from the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Office..."
Yesterday, the imperial court discussed meritorious services and rewarded them, and each ministry celebrated its achievements. Today, Chang Yu decided to have a big celebration and at the same time discuss military matters going south.
Fanzi turned around and left. Chang Yu got up and walked to the yard. He looked up at the looming eyes in the clouds and said to Chunxiang: "Send our Yamen people to keep an eye on Wu Sangui. I know when and where he goes every day."
To know".
Chunxiang was a little excited: "Are you going to attack him?"
Chang Yu shook his head: "Be prepared to prevent trouble before it happens. Remember not to let him leave the city." Chunxiang agreed and did not dare to neglect. He walked to the front yard to recruit a fan to whisper, and soon four or five fans left the Yamen.
"By the way, I'll call Wu Mengming in Xianjulou tonight." Chang Yu said as he walked out of the Yamen. Chunxiang said casually and asked, "Where are you going, brother?".
"I have to go to the palace," Chang Yu said and left the yamen. It took Chunxiang a long time to realize that Li Muxian had gone to bed when he came back earlier. Chang Yu had no one around him at this time.
Who said it? There was a coach driver, Lao Hu, who was driving slowly towards the palace, one person at a time.
"Lao Hu, I'm going south in a few days. I guess I won't see you for a long time. Let's go to Xianju Tower for a drink in the evening."
Old Hu, who was driving the bus, responded from the front: "It's quite boring in Beijing, why don't I come out of Beijing with you?"
Chang Yu sighed: "The outside world is wonderful, but it is also cruel. You are old and in poor health. Long distance travel is not suitable for you. If you feel bored, go back and help me take care of the house."
.
Lao Hu suddenly became interested: "But where is the house that the emperor rewarded?"
"Our family doesn't know about this for the time being. I'll ask later... I should go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to ask, right?"
"No, no, no, go to the Ministry of Rites or the Ministry of Industry." Old Hu laughed loudly: "But I didn't ask the emperor for the most accurate answer. Hehe, the emperor is really kind to you, Mr. Factory. This military memorial arch has never been heard of in the past dynasties.
The eunuch’s…”
In the car, Chang Yu smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed, because there has never been one in history. This military memorial arch is both his glory and maybe his tombstone. The emperor will never let a person out of his control easily. Sometimes it seems to be praising you, but it is actually
