Across the street to the north of Sanli Academy is the Taiyuan Government Office. It is located at the west gate of the Jin Palace. Various offices such as the Governor's Office, the Chief Secretary's Office, and the Yangqu County Office are all set up here. It can be said to be the administrative center of Taiyuan, and it is also a place of martial law.
, ordinary people are prohibited from approaching.
However, as soon as Chang Yu left the academy and looked north, he saw many people gathered in front of the Taiyuan Mansion Office. The person in the center was Sun Kangzhou again. He was foaming at the mouth and talking to the onlookers.
Isn't this person a little too close to the people? There are so many affairs in Taiyuan City, and you still have the heart to talk nonsense with the people on the streets?
"Everyone, please leave quickly!" Several guards shouted, and the onlookers couldn't help but turn around and look sideways. They saw Chang Yu striding towards him with a dark face and a murderous look. Everyone was frightened by his momentum and backed away.
"Who are you?" Chang Yu came closer and glanced around. Seeing that he was neither a refugee nor an ordinary citizen, he couldn't help but frown.
"The wealthy gentry in the city" Sun Kangzhou whispered in Chang Yu's ear: "Come to inquire about the news."
The bandit army came to the city and the entire city of Taiyuan was placed under martial law. One of the prohibitions was that non-military personnel were not allowed to approach the city wall. Violators would be punished as spies.
All night long, there were constant killings outside the city, and the people were panic-stricken. At dawn, a large number of wounded entered the city, which was obviously fierce. It also caused a lot of discussion in the city. Various rumors were flying everywhere. At this time, there was no official announcement, and the people could only speculate on various things.
It’s impossible to test gossip.
So some wealthy gentry went to the Prince of Jin's Mansion early in the morning to inquire about the news. However, the gate of the Prince's Mansion was closed and no visitors were accepted. In fact, it was useless to go in. Zhu Shenxuan was tricked by Chang Yu last night.
When the palace received no news, everyone organized a group to come to the Yamen in an attempt to find an adult for some air. However, the adults had been watching the battle in the city all night last night, and now they fell asleep in the tower.
Sun Kangzhou happened to be on his way here and was surrounded by him.
But Sun Kangzhou was on duty outside the city last night and didn't know much about the situation outside.
"I want news, what news do I want?" Chang Yu turned around and looked at everyone coldly, "The bandit army attacked all night and used a hundred thousand troops. However, they didn't even reach the moat and retreated in panic. The officers and soldiers fought bravely and killed three thousand enemies.
There are more than enough, and nearly ten thousand people have been killed or injured. This is the news you want!"
Wow! Killed more than three thousand enemies... As soon as Chang Yu finished speaking, the surrounding gentry suddenly frowned with joy and let out a sigh of relief.
"May I ask Mr. Factory Superintendent..." Someone knew Chang Yu and asked him.
"Military affairs are confidential matters. When will it be your turn to ask? At this time, the military situation is urgent. How can I have time to talk nonsense with you?" Chang Yu snorted coldly and interrupted him directly: "Let everyone disperse. Although the traitor army
Everyone is far less brave than my subordinates. They are capable of guarding the safety of Taiyuan City. You just need to stay in the city. If there is no trouble and spread rumors, be careful!"
"Don't dare, don't dare..."
Seeing Chang Yu's murderous intent, all the wealthy gentry hurriedly dispersed.
Seeing everyone dispersed, Chang Yu said to Sun Kangzhou: "Post announcements to clearly indicate the situation outside the city, stabilize people's hearts as much as possible, and cut off unnecessary rumors."
Sun Kangzhou nodded in agreement, and Chang Yu was about to leave. Suddenly something occurred to him and he stopped him: "Deploy manpower from the refugees to form a logistics rescue team."
"Logistics rescue team?" Sun Kangzhou was a little confused.
"Clean up the battlefield and evacuate the wounded. I will ask people from the East Factory to assist you in a moment. Be quick!"
"Excuse me, Mr. Factory Supervisor, is the transfer of refugees free of charge or paid?" Sun Kangzhou suddenly asked this question without knowing what he was thinking.
"My soldiers sacrificed their lives to protect them and died outside the city. Now they have to pay money to collect their bodies? Who pays whom!" Chang Yu roared.
Sun Kangzhou trotted away.
Since ancient times, battlefields have rarely been cleaned during wars, especially in field battles. Dead people are rarely even buried. Instead, they are mostly left to wild dogs and eagles to fill their bellies, left to fate or voluntarily buried by some local people.
At this time, the trench positions were littered with corpses, which was not good for the battle. Secondly, there were still some officers and soldiers among them. These must be picked out and not be destroyed together with the traitors.
Moreover, using civilian workers as logistics to transfer the wounded can minimize the waste of already limited troops.
The military camp in the north of the city was still heavily guarded, and no idlers were allowed to approach. However, unlike yesterday, it was almost overcrowded.
Nearly 10,000 wounded soldiers were resting here, sitting or lying packed into the barracks. It was shocking to take a glance at it.
There were many people with blood streaming down their faces, and people with severed arms and legs. There were even people lying on the ground wailing with their intestines flowing out.
Incessant groans spread throughout the military camp. Military doctors were busy bandaging the wounds of the wounded. However, there were too many wounded soldiers. The lightly injured soldiers could barely bandage each other, but there were also many seriously injured soldiers who eventually fainted or died because of the failure to rescue them.
In the midst of this wailing, there was a group of people who looked out of place. Although their clothes were as low-key as possible, they could still be seen as belonging to wealthy families.
Jin Wang Zhu Shenxuan's family unexpectedly appeared here.
The queen and the little princess were taking some servants to feed and comfort some of the wounded.
Zhu Shenxuan, with tears in his eyes, helped the military doctor bandage the wounds of the wounded soldiers.
At this time, the bandit army besieged Taiyuan. If the city was destroyed, the line of Jin king would be cut off. Zhu Shenxuan knew better than anyone the importance of motivating and winning over the morale of the army at this time.
So he did not hesitate to bring his whole family to the military camp to express condolences and reward the wounded.
There was a loud crashing sound, which attracted everyone to follow the sound, and then they stared in disbelief. They even forgot about the pain and held back their groans.
Several silver cars overturned directly to the ground, and the white silver rolled down, attracting thousands of eyes.
There were more than a hundred people standing next to the silver car, and they were brothers with a palace name. In front of them, a man stood astride a sword, with a stern look on his face, but it was Chang Yu, the admiral of the East Factory.
"My governor is true to his word. Those who are alive will come and register to receive money. Those who are dead will also receive a penny in pension!"
The scene was extremely silent for a moment. The wounded soldiers looked at each other with open mouths and doubtful eyes, not believing that all this was true.
If you really kill the enemy, you will be rewarded. If you are injured twice, you will be rewarded.
Woohoo... The military camp suddenly boiled. For the soldiers, there was nothing more exciting than this. They forgot their pain in an instant, and even the faces of the seriously injured turned red and became full of life.
Zhu Zhi'e looked at Chang Yu and suddenly felt that this person was so strange. The little eunuch he knew was a smooth-tongued man who liked to tease her and was always trying to blackmail the palace.
But the man in front of me has a murderous look on his face, and he is extraordinary in martial arts, especially the aura of standing astride his sword. He is like a general commanding thousands of troops. There is no trace of ruffianism, and he looks like a royal servant. Even if he is beaten to death, he will not be believed.
He is a eunuch.
Suddenly, the heart of the young princess of the prince's palace began to surge, and her eyes looking at Chang Yu became softer and softer. She did not notice that the queen beside her was frowning more and more tightly!
"How was the fight yesterday?"
At the gate of the military camp, Zhu Shenxuan dragged Chang Yu and asked. He had been in a daze early in the morning and had not yet woken up. He was picked up by the queen and went straight here to reward the army. At this time, the drunkenness had not yet subsided.
Chang Yu curled his lips and said, "Nothing."
"It's nothing? There are so many wounded soldiers, and you still say it's nothing?" Zhu Shenxuan held his head and gritted his teeth.
Chang Yu turned his head and glanced at him: "So many were injured, and many died. At a large level, they died for the Emperor's loyalty and for the Ming Dynasty. At a small level, they died for Taiyuan and the Jin Palace."
"You, what do you mean by that?" Zhu Shenxuan's eyes widened and he looked confused, feeling that the topic was going somewhere not quite right.
Chang Yu took a long breath and stretched out his hands to rub his fingers.
"Otherwise, I'll rub the dust off for you!" Chang Yu rolled his eyes.
"Zhoucao, you..." Zhu Shenxuan picked it up and almost started to curse.
"The traitor army injured eight thousand of our troops overnight. It is obvious that they are coming with ferocious force. At this time, it is just a peripheral battle. The soldiers fought bloody battles all night. Is it possible that with your few bowls of porridge and a few words of comfort, you can defeat them?"
Are you willing to go into battle to kill the enemy and bleed?" Chang Yu held Zhu Shenxuan down and said in a deep voice.
Zhu Shenxuan was silent, and then whispered: "Of course I know that it is difficult to make them sacrifice their lives with a few words, but you are a bottomless pit. Even if the Jin Palace is extremely rich, you have emptied it out. Previously, I donated and took all the money."
Including donations from the city's wealthy gentry, you have at least nearly a million taels in your hands. Now that you are calling me poor, Eunuch Chang, is it possible that you are also the kind of person who enriches your own pockets?"
"Bah, I treat you sincerely, but you look at me like this. Is this how we behave in your eyes?"
Chang Yu whispered angrily: "Taiyuan originally had hundreds of thousands of holes in unpaid wages, and the use of civilian resources to build fortifications cost tens of thousands more. In order to boost morale, the reward for the first battle in Jiaocheng was nearly 100,000, and now disability subsidies are included.
, casualty pension, how much do you think is left, even these few were all taken away last night."
Ah! Zhu Shenxuan was startled by Chang Yu's roar. When he heard the last sentence, he couldn't help but ask: "Who was dragged away and where?"
"Who do you think can get my money? Do you think the emperor sent those 10,000 personal guards to guard the city for free? Protection fee, little prince!"
Zhu Shenxuan was startled at first, and then became angry. At this moment, he actually transferred the money to other places, even though he knew that the imperial treasury was at its bottom, even though he knew that the Ming Dynasty had too many places to use money. Chongzhen moved here and there to take advantage of the fire, and he followed the atmosphere
Hard to handle.
"Maybe Taiyuan is no longer the land of the Ming Dynasty!" No matter how dissatisfied or angry he was, Zhu Shenxuan did not dare to say a word of criticism in front of Chang Yu. After all, this guy was the leader of Dongchang. If he said something carelessly, he would be punished.
He had his hair braided.
"Taiyuan is the land of the Ming Dynasty, but you are the first to bear the brunt!" Chang Yu said calmly.
Zhu Shenxuan almost choked to death at these words. Knowing that Chang Yu was pinching him seven inches now, he took a long breath: "How much do you want?"
"How much do you have left?" Chang Yu said casually.
"You..." Zhu Shenxuan covered his chest: "You..."
"Uh-huh, how much more do you think you can give?" Chang Yu blamed himself for accidentally revealing the truth!
"The maximum loss is 50,000 taels. If you lose more than that, you can only smash the pot and sell the iron. If you want it, go find a buyer and demolish Prince Jin's palace." Zhu Shenxuan rubbed his temples hard and suppressed his anger.
"Fifty thousand, just fifty thousand, make do with it first and then talk about it later." Chang Yu looked very embarrassed.
"Use it first and then talk about it!!! Eunuch Chang, please tell me the truth. Do you want to pluck out my hair? You can't do it with me. There are so many wealthy gentry in Taiyuan City. If you try to destroy the city, I will be the only one killed."
Prince Jin's Mansion... If you are not free, I will tell you..." Zhu Shenxuan almost cried.
"You have finally turned around. I will leave this matter to you. How about twenty-eight cents after it is completed? And the fifty thousand you promised cannot be less."
As he spoke, Chang Yu waved and floated away with his guards. Zhu Shenxuan was left with a stunned look on his face. Where was I? What was I doing? Did I promise him something just now?
It wasn't until Chang Yu's figure disappeared that he realized that this damn eunuch had long wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to attack the wealthy gentry in the city, but he couldn't help but feel embarrassed, so he was so excited that he boarded the pirate ship and charged for him.
Treacherous, treacherous, this damn eunuch is just desperate for money. Zhu Shenxuan bared his teeth and scolded Chang Yu secretly, but he was thinking in his mind, twenty-eight points is not bad, if he gets a million, he can also divide it.
Two hundred thousand...
