Sheng Hong raised his eyebrows and smiled: "The Royal Forest Guards are all the elites of Daqi. The Shu soldiers are also elite soldiers. However, they have only trained for more than two years, so they should be slightly inferior to the Royal Forest Army who have been training all year round."
"If the numbers are equal, it's hard to say who will win. However, General Chu is too proud of himself and intends to 'humiliate' the master. He proposes to use 2,000 soldiers to fight 5,000 Shu soldiers..."
When Sheng Hong said this, he smiled maliciously and winked at Xie Mingxi: "We are just waiting to see the good show."
Xie Mingxi burst into laughter: "It's okay to dig a hole for others to jump into. It's rare to dig a hole for yourself. General Chu is also too arrogant."
No wonder General Chu would be like this.
In the eyes of everyone, no matter how powerful Lian Shuyuan is, she is just a woman. How can the Shu soldiers be convinced if a woman is the chief instructor? Furthermore, the Shu soldiers have only been established for more than two years, and they train day and night, and how powerful they are?
Where to go?
Sheng Hong lowered his voice and laughed: "The news of the martial arts confrontation between the two armies has spread. I heard that the four major banks in the capital have jointly set up a handicap. The vast majority of those who bet on Yulin's army won. The winning rate of Shu soldiers is extremely low.
And it’s ten for one.”
Ten for one?
So familiar!
Xie Mingxi recalled the past events with great nostalgia: "In the academy competition back then, Lianchi Academy's winning rate was extremely low, and it lost ten for one. I placed a bet of 10,000 taels of silver that day, and came back with a profit of 100,000 taels."
Sheng Hong also missed it very much: "I also won a hundred thousand taels. I really miss it!"
The emperor and empress looked at each other and smiled tacitly.
With such a good opportunity, it would be good to earn some money for private housing. After all, no one cares about having too many private houses!
"Too many bets are too eye-catching." Xie Mingxi laughed casually and said: "I asked Xiang Hui, Cong Yu, Fuyu and others to place bets for me. One bet was 10,000 taels. I can win 300,000 taels!"
Sheng Hong was convinced: "I also bet thirty thousand taels."
…
This martial arts exercise in the army created far more excitement than the academy competition.
Daqi’s first female general!
Just these few words, the gimmick is enough.
It is reasonable for the four major banks to set up gambling bureaus privately. Every year during the college competition, the four major banks will set up gambling bureaus, and they will make a lot of money every year. After all, the capital has money, leisure and good things to do.
There are too many people...
This military exercise between the two armies involves the dignity of the elite imperial guards of Da Qi and the dignity of General Chu.
As soon as the handicap opened, the military officers swarmed in and took out all the money they had saved for a long time. They slapped the counter and said, "Give the military master twenty taels as a deposit!"
"Of course the Imperial Forest Army will win! How could the dignified Imperial Forest Army lose to the Shu soldiers! How could our General Chu lose to a bitch!"
The game between the generals in the court did not affect the ordinary soldiers at all. In the eyes of the soldiers, there was no way that General Chu would lose to the so-called female general!
The disciples of the generals were also aroused and placed bets one after another. Most of them were betting on the victory of the Imperial Forest Army!
Where can I see Shu soldiers in the capital?
The descendants of the Lian family were shouting fiercely, but when it came to the real money, they were hesitant. Only a few were ruthless and took out hundreds of taels of private money to bet on the victory of the Shu army!
The shopkeepers of the bank were very merciless with their cashiers, and there were quite a lot of large bets, including a few thousand taels. There were several bets of 10,000 taels on the victory of the Shu soldiers, which were not too eye-catching.
The day before the martial arts performance, the Princess of Fujian sent someone to place a bet of 20,000 taels, betting that the Shu army would win!
Immediately afterwards, General Yin also ordered someone to bet 10,000 taels, also betting that the Shu army would win!
Zhou Quan took out the salary he had accumulated for several years, a total of two thousand taels, and gave it all to the Shu soldiers.
…
It was the end of the year. In previous years, everyone would be busy giving New Year gifts and preparing to celebrate the New Year. At the end of the first year of Jianye, the military exercises between the two armies attracted the attention of everyone inside and outside the court.
On the day of the official martial arts performance, the majestic emperor actually went to the military camp. The young Queen Xie also accompanied the emperor. In addition, numerous famous military generals from Daqi also went to the military camp.
The civil servants actually wanted to join in the fun.
However, it was a common practice in Qi Dynasty that civil servants did not enter the military camp. Even Mr. Lu Ge had to suppress his curiosity and stay safely in the cabinet to handle political affairs.
Mr. Zhao Ge and Mr. Lu Ge had always been good friends. When the political affairs came to an end, they laughed in a low voice: "Today the two armies are performing martial arts. I don't know who will win and who will lose!"
Mr. Lu Ge remained unmoved and responded calmly: "We'll find out in the evening."
So boring!
Mr. Zhao Ge secretly rolled his eyes, turned around and started talking to Mr. Yan Ge again.
Mr. Yan Ge looked heavy-handed, but in fact he was quite fond of gossip. Yan Zhenzhen's temperament was exactly the same as Mr. Yan Ge's when he was young. However, Mr. Yan Ge usually kept his old airs and was quite reserved. At this time, there were only a few people.
Mr. Ge is here, so it doesn't hurt to relax a little.
Mr. Yan Ge laughed quietly and said: "My old wife secretly took a thousand taels of private money to pledge the victory of the Shu army. She also said that General Lian must fight for the reputation of women in the world! For the sake of peace and quiet in the inner house, I have been here for the past few days.
In front of my old wife, I have no choice but to praise the Shu soldiers for their high winning rate."
Isn't it?
Mr. Zhao Ge said with concern: "My daughters-in-law and granddaughters all swarmed with money and pledged their money to the Shu army to win."
Therefore, the reason why the shopkeepers of the bank are soft on cashiers is not only because there are many military lords in the Royal Forest Army. There are also many noble women and dependents in the capital, and there are not a few who spend their private money.
Mr. Li Ge did not interrupt.
I heard that my grandson’s daughter-in-law, Mrs. Fang, had also taken out all her private money, and she was determined to support her wife. I don’t know how much Mrs. Fang had pledged!
…
"Ruomeng, did you really give all your private money to Shu soldiers?"
In the inner house of Li Mansion, Mrs. Li's slightly weak voice came out.
Li Xiangru's death was a painful blow to Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li had been ill for many days and had become much older and haggard. Only recently did she show signs of improvement.
Mrs. Li lay on the bed all day long, not paying attention to what was going on outside the window. However, everyone knew about the military exercise between the two armies, even she, who was recovering from her illness, knew about it.
Fang Ruomeng did not hide the fact that he took out his personal money to bet from the people around him. After Mrs. Li found out, she couldn't help but ask.
Fang Ruomeng, who was waiting beside the bed, carefully fed her mother-in-law medicine, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I made my mother-in-law laugh. In fact, my daughter-in-law doesn't have much private money, only five thousand taels."
Mrs. Li: "..."
After Fang Ruomeng gave the medicine, she wiped the corners of Mrs. Li's mouth with a handkerchief and said softly: "Don't worry, mother-in-law. The odds of Shu soldiers are extremely high, one pays ten. If my daughter-in-law takes out five thousand taels, it will be doubled tenfold in no time."
, bring back fifty thousand taels."
Mrs. Li didn't have the energy to roll her eyes and asked feebly: "Are you so confident in Shu soldiers?"
Fang Ruomeng smiled calmly: "Yes, I have more confidence in Mr. Lian!"
