A cannon fired, and thousands of taels of gold were obtained. After pacifying the Cen family in Sicheng, Zhu Hengjia made another windfall. Relying on the seizures from the Taiping Huang family, Sicheng Cen family and other chieftains' treasuries, Zhu Hengjia did not have to pay for the finance within a year.
I am worried. God always seems to like to add icing on the cake. The more money, the more money. Three waves of the God of Wealth have come one after another.
The first wave was from an envoy from Sha Dingzhou, Zhu Hengjia's "in-laws". He sent fifty thousand taels of silver, one hundred thousand stones of grain, some silk, and some cloth. They said they were celebrating the engagement between the two families, but in fact they were spending money to buy peace.<
/p>
Sha Dingzhou was preparing to attack Chu Xiong's Yang Weizhi, but he was afraid that Zhu Hengjia would steal his retreat. As a time traveler, Zhu Hengjia knew that Sha Dingzhou had defeated Chu Xiong three times and failed to defeat him. This was the first time and he was happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
.
However, someone gave such a heavy gift and it was unreasonable not to return the gift. Zhu Hengjia was reluctant to spend money, so he simply wrote four words: "loyal and patriotic" to Sha Dingzhou. One word can be exchanged for more than 10,000 taels of silver, which is a good deal.
The second wave came from the Gaoping Mo family's envoy. The identity of the visitor was unusual. He was the envoy of Annan, Mo Jingguang, the second son of Mo Jingyu, the king of Shunde in the Mo Dynasty. (Mo Jing is the surname)
Mo Jingguang was full of sincerity and brought 100,000 taels of silver and a large amount of food and supplies with only one purpose: to ask the Ming Dynasty to send troops to rescue Gao Ping. Zheng Jie, the head of the Zheng family in Li Dynasty, had already led troops to conquer the Mo family's Taiyuan Mansion.
, is besieging Gaoping.
Zhu Hengjia had already regarded Gao Ping as a fat man, so he naturally agreed wholeheartedly. However, he gave the envoy a few words of advice and asked him to go back and ask Mo Jingyu to read more about the passage about Empress Dowager Qin Xuan talking about Korean envoys in "Warring States Policy". p>
The third wave was Ding Wenzuo, the envoy of the Qingdu King of the Li Dynasty of Annan State and the head of the Zheng family, Zheng Jie. Ding Wenzuo was interesting. He didn’t bring many gifts, only ten carts of rice, but he brought a letter of complaint. He accused Gao Ping.
The Mo family betrayed their master and stood on their own, and asked the Ming Dynasty not to interfere with the Zheng family's just war against the Mo family.
Zhu Hengjia opened the letter and was very happy. It was just talking about the dark history of the Mo family. The Mo family betrayed the Li Dynasty and established the Mo Dynasty, and the Ruan family betrayed the Li Dynasty and established the Ruan Dynasty. They were indeed independent. But you, Zheng family, are not the same.
What a good thing! You, Zheng Zhi, regard Li Zhenzong as a puppet, and you are just trying to control the emperor to order the princes. Fifty steps must make you laugh at a hundred steps, ridiculous!
However, this Zheng Zhi actually knew that he would kidnap the Ming Dynasty morally by using "the emperor as his ministers" and was more powerful than his father Zheng Song. In history, Zheng Song almost destroyed the Gaoping Mo family many times, but failed every time because of the interference of the Ming Dynasty.
The most powerful one was that he directly drove Mo Jingkuan, the king of Longtai of Mo Dynasty, to the Ming Dynasty. But Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty was a ruthless man. While sending troops, he scolded Zheng Song and asked him to return Gaoping and Taiyuan to the Mo family.
.The three great powers of Wanli were trying to gain national prestige overseas. Zheng Song did not dare to offend them, so he had to retreat.
Since he felt that Zheng Jie was powerful, Zhu Hengjia decided to summon Ding Wenzuo to find out about Zheng Jie's situation.
"Who is your lord Zheng Jie?" Zhu Hengjia asked.
Ding Wenzuo replied proudly: "A wise, wise, loyal, filial, decisive, and Wu Yi person!"

"Autumn comes under the plug and the scenery is strange. The geese in Hengyang leave without paying attention. The sounds are rising from all sides, thousands of miles away, the smoke is long and the sun is setting. The lonely city is closed. A cup of turbid wine can lead to thousands of miles away, and there is no plan for Yan Ran to return home. The Qiang pipes are covered with frost.
"The land, the people are sleepless, the generals are gray-haired and their husbands are weeping". Reciting this poem "The Proud Fisherman·Autumn Thoughts" by Fan Zhongyan, the gray-haired Zheng Zhi was full of emotions. At the age of sixty-eight, in order to unify Annan and rebuild Taizu
Isn't it just like "the general's gray hair and husband's tears during the expedition"!
"Good words! This poem by Fan Wenzhenggong, sung from my brother's mouth, is really touching!" Zheng Kai clapped his hands and praised.
Zheng Zhi looked at his younger brother and was a little touched. He is also sixty this year! He has fought with him all his life, and he has really worked hard and achieved great results.
"Brother, how is the morale of the soldiers?"
"Brother, the morale of our sons is very high. Zheng Zha, Zheng Gen, and Zheng Dong are clamoring to attack Xia Langzhou."
Zheng Zhi smiled slightly. The Zheng family has been fighting in the south and north for decades, and their generals are like clouds. His son Zheng Zha, grandsons Zheng Gen and Zheng Dong are all qualified to be famous generals.
"Has Ruan Youden come back?"
"Brother, those red-haired barbarians are so abominable. One cannon actually costs three thousand taels of silver!"
"Order twenty more cannons for them," Zheng Zhi said decisively.
In this attack on Taiyuan, the artillery purchased from the Hongmao Yi (Dutch) people played a great role. Zheng Zhi sent his general Ruan Youdeng to negotiate with the Hongmao Yi people and buy another batch.
"These red-haired barbarians are just a bunch of hungry wolves," Zheng Zhi thought bitterly.
In order to unify Annam, Zheng Zhi has launched three large-scale wars against the Nguyen Dynasty in the south. Two years ago, during the third war with the Nguyen Dynasty, Zheng Zhi did not hesitate to "lead the wolf into the house" and accepted the red-haired barbarians as a condition for trade.
The Yi Chu purchased a large number of artillery pieces, and even hired three red-haired Yi warships with a large sum of money to assist in the battle, and marched on land and sea to conquer the Ruan Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Fulan of the Nguyen Dynasty also attracted tigers and actually invited the Francois (Portuguese) to help in the battle. Moreover, Ruan Fulan was a more traitorous fellow than himself. Not only did he allow the Francois to trade, but he also allowed them to preach. p>
As a result, in the naval battle, his navy failed and retreated north; in the land battle, he only conquered the first line of defense of the Nguyen Dynasty and returned without success in front of the second line of defense.
After the third conquest of Ruan, he saw that the Ruan Dynasty was temporarily difficult to pacify, and that the Ming Dynasty was in decline and had lost most of its country. It seemed that he had lost the ability to protect Gaoping Mo's family. This opportunity was not to be missed! So he changed his strategy and decided to pacify Mo first.
The family conquered the Ruan family again.
"Send the order, and the troops will be sent to Langzhou tomorrow," Zheng Zhi said calmly, not angry but powerful. A general who has been fighting for a long time has a murderous aura in him.
??
The tent fell again, and an arm as white as jade hugged Zhu Hengjia's neck.
"Your Highness, have you missed me these days?" Zhao Baolian asked coquettishly.
"Think!"
"What do you think?"
"When I was fighting alone, I dreamed every night. I dreamed that Pauline had a wide and big bed."
"Your Highness is good or bad! Not serious!"
"Okay, Pauline, we will discuss the bed matter later. Let me tell you something serious. How many forces does Gao Ping have to support your mother and son?"
"Ruan Gongli is an old minister of King Wu'an."
"Oh, how many troops does he have?"
"Ruan Gongli has no soldiers, but he is sixty-five years old this year. He is an Annan scholar and is highly respected."
Zhu Hengjia was a little disappointed. What use could an old nerd with no soldiers be of any use?
"What else?"
"Ruan Yunqin is also an old minister of the King of Wu'an."
"Oh, how many troops does he have?"
"Ruan Yunqin is seventy years old this year. He has no soldiers and is also a great scholar."
Yes, those who rush to support the little prince are all old men who have no soldiers and no power, and rely only on their mouths!
"Pauline, think about it again, are there any other powerful people in Gao Ping who have a bad relationship with Mo Jingyu? The kind who have soldiers, power and money," Zhu Hengjia enlightened in a persuasive way.
Zhao Baolian pursed her lips, thought for a long time, and then said: "Gaoping Xia Langzhou Chief, Fu Sheng, Fu Tie brothers don't get along with the Mo family; Shilin Prefecture Nong Guihu also doesn't accept Mo Jingyu."
"Oh! Do they have soldiers?"
"Yes, the Fu brothers have five thousand soldiers, and Nong Guihu has two thousand soldiers."
"Great! Gu has a plan! Pauline will write a letter for Gu and give it to them." Zhu Hengjia's eyes were bright, and a plan came into his mind.
