Chapter 381: The chief manager played with fire and set himself on fire? [2 more]
Seeing the expressions of everyone, Xie Mingyu took a deep breath, stood up suddenly and said: "Everyone, when is it, is it still the time to be stingy with your family wealth? If King Ning is defeated, we have no ability to protect ourselves, even if it is
So what if the wealth is huge, in the end the family will be confiscated and exterminated by the imperial court."
As soon as he patted the table, Xie Mingyu said in a deep voice: "I, the Xie family, are willing to spend all their wealth, 300,000 stones of grain and fodder, 500,000 gold and silver, and 5,000 men and women."
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and looked at Xie Mingyu in amazement. We all live in the same city. Even if they don't know the details of each family, they still have a general idea. As a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, the Xie family has a lot of family background.
Difference.
Although it is an exaggeration to say that Xie Mingyu spent all his family's wealth, what he took out accounted for at least 30 to 40% of the Xie family's wealth. For a family, this was already considered a huge hemorrhage.
Zhang Yi, the head of the Zhang family in Yangzhou, said slowly: "My Zhang family is willing to provide 80,000 shi of grain, 100,000 taels of silver, and 1,000 young tenants!"
Among the thirteen families, the Zhang family is quite weak in terms of family strength. When Zhang Yi spoke, Xie Mingyu couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
Everyone can estimate that the properties provided by the Zhang family account for at least 30% of the Zhang family's wealth, which can be said to be full of sincerity.
One by one, the families came forward to report the amount of property they had provided. At the end, Pei Qing, the head of Yangzhou's Pei family who had been silent, said slowly: "My Pei family is willing to contribute 300,000 shi of grain and 500,000 taels of silver."
Ten thousand taels, five thousand young and strong tenants..."
"What!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this and looked at Pei Qing in disbelief.
You must know that the Pei family is inferior to the Xie family, and even inferior to the Mo family. Now they are so crazy and take out so many belongings at once, which naturally shocks everyone.
Even Xie Mingyu couldn't help but look at Pei Qing in shock and said: "Pei Family Master, you...are you serious?"
It was quite painful for the Xie family to take out those things. Now the things the Pei family has taken out are no less than the Xie family. These things account for almost 70 to 80% of the Pei family's wealth.
Pei Qing said calmly: "Pei always sticks to his word when he speaks. Since he has said it, he will definitely fulfill it."
Xie Mingyu was sure that Pei Qing was not joking. He pondered for a while and watched Pei Qing suddenly laugh. While laughing, he said: "Okay, that's great. If that's the case, then the head of the Pei family will be the deputy leader of the coalition!"
Pei Qing smiled slightly, cupped his fists and said, "Pei will be ashamed of himself!"
Only then did everyone react and look at Pei Qing with strange eyes.
Only then did they realize that Pei Qing had spent so much money to gain control of the coalition forces.
Since it is a coalition, when it comes to the control of the coalition, whoever has made the greatest contribution will naturally have a greater say.
Now Pei Qing has directly become the number two figure in the coalition, and naturally has great influence on the coalition.
Moreover, the Pei family suddenly took out 5,000 young men to join the rebel army that was about to be formed. People and horses are strength and the right to speak. Just like the Mo family, although the family is stronger than the Pei family, there are only 1,000 people in the rebel army.
, how can it be compared with the Pei family, which has 5,000 people, and its influence on the coalition forces will naturally be weaker.
It can be said that these are troubled times, but anyone with a long-term perspective can see that a wealth of wealth is never worth the number of soldiers and horses under his command.
Like Zhang Yi, Mod had some regrets in his heart. If they had known this, they would have put out more supplies to strengthen their voice over the coalition, even if they had gritted their teeth.
Seeing the reactions of everyone in his eyes, Xie Mingyu coughed lightly and said: "Everyone, the matter of the coalition has been decided, but for now, as for the follow-up, if there is any need, everyone needs to continue to invest.
yes."
Xie Mingyu didn't say anything to death, and even gave everyone hope of following up, so everyone smiled a little when they heard what he said.
Now that they have understood the importance of the army's right to speak, they will naturally not be stingy with their investment. Previously, they just thought wrong and lost the initiative.
But this does not mean that they will give up their fight for control of the coalition forces.
The Xie family is the strongest and they may not be able to compete with them, but besides the Xie family, it would be good to compete for second place.
Soon, the thirteen coalition forces in Yangzhou City were successfully formed in just three days, with a total of 23,000 young men. The food and fodder raised alone reached nearly 2 million dan. As for the silver taels,
It also reached as much as three million taels.
It has to be said that the strength of the thirteen wealthy families who control almost 70% to 80% of the wealth of Yangzhou City is really too strong. Once they made a move, they were earth-shattering and almost shocked most of the land south of the Yangtze River.
As a rebel team of nearly 30,000 people emerged in Yangzhou City and raised its own banner, teams also emerged in Suzhou Prefecture, Hangzhou Prefecture and other places.
However, Yangzhou Prefecture was the most exaggerated. Most of the other places only had thousands or tens of thousands of rebels. But even so, in less than half a month, more than a dozen rebels appeared in the entire Jiangnan.
The team totaled almost 100,000 people.
The appearance of these rebels suddenly changed the situation in the south of the Yangtze River. The imperial court had more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, and King Ning occupied Nanjing City with a hundred thousand soldiers. Together with these small and large rebel teams scattered throughout the south of the Yangtze River, it was almost
Three parties coexist.
Nanjing City
In the palace, only a scream was heard, and soon two chamberlains were seen dragging a maid out with their heads lowered. The maid was obviously dead.
"Damn it, it's really despicable. How long has it been since we had an army of 100,000, and they actually formed a rebel army of 100,000!"
King Ning's roar echoed in the palace. It was obvious that King Ning had received news that the major wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River had formed a rebel army.
Originally, in King Ning's opinion, if he continued to pass on the decree, it would be quite good if he could form several thousand rebels in various places. The total number would be thirty to twenty thousand, which would at least help him share some of the pressure, wouldn't it?
But it was only half a month, and one hundred thousand rebels suddenly appeared. He rebelled and became emperor. Now he only has one hundred thousand soldiers and horses under his command, but those wealthy families are good at keeping quiet.
So many rebels gathered at once.
"They deserve to be killed. Each and every one of them wrote a letter saying that they spent all their wealth to help me. I want to ask, is this how they spent all their wealth?"
Standing aside, Wan Rui lowered his head. Prince Ning would get angry from time to time and vent his anger. Wan Rui was already used to it, so he stood there honestly and didn't even say anything to comfort him.
Prince Ning paused, his eyes fell on Wan Rui and he stared at Wan Rui and said: "Wan Rui, tell me whether these people should be killed or not!"
Wan Rui immediately nodded cleanly and said: "Back to Your Majesty, these people who dare to deceive Your Majesty should all be killed."
However, Wan Rui's voice changed and he added: "But Your Majesty, now we need these people to help us share the pressure of the court, but Your Majesty has to be patient for the time being. After defeating the imperial army, Your Majesty will deal with these rebellious ministers who dare to deceive Your Majesty."
Thief!"
Prince Ning looked at Wan Rui with satisfaction and nodded, "It's still Wan Rui, an old guy like you, who knows what I'm thinking!"
As he spoke, King Ning frowned and said, "Pass my decree to these people, and let them lead the rebel army to King Qin, and attack Chu Yi together with me."
Even Prince Ning received the news, let alone Chu Yi.
Jin Yiwei's eyes are all over the world. It can be said that as long as Chu Yi is willing, Chu Yi can control all the troubles in the world at any time.
Looking at the information collected by Jin Yiwei on the rebels from all over the south of the Yangtze River, it can be said that it is extremely detailed. If King Ning saw the information on the rebels collected by Chu Yi, he would definitely be very surprised.
It had only been a long time before Chu Yi had already obtained the detailed information of the rebels.
Fang Li looked at the information collected by Jin Yiwei and said with a bit of shock in his eyes: "General manager, these wealthy families are really crazy. There are eighteen local rebel armies with a total of 118,000 people.
There are so many, involving nearly 200 large and small families, it’s crazy, it’s simply crazy!”
Not to mention Fang Li, it can be said that when everyone in the big tent learned the news about the rebels in these places, their reactions were not much better than Fang Li's, and they were even more exaggerated.
It is true that the impact brought by the wealthy families in Jiangnan was too great. Hundreds of wealthy families and hundreds of thousands of troops could almost subvert Jiangnan in a time of peace. Even now, when the imperial army arrives in Jiangnan, those ten
The tens of thousands of rebels are also a scourge.
If things go wrong, Jiangnan may really be completely out of the control of the imperial court.
Many people couldn't help but look at Chu Yi with worried eyes when they thought of this.
Everyone knew that Chu Yi was deliberately conniving with the wealthy families in Jiangnan. It could be said that the wealthy families in Jiangnan suddenly burst out with such power, and Chu Yi was probably not behind them. However, when they really saw the power of the wealthy families in Jiangnan, everyone felt a little worried.
Once the power of Jiangnan's wealthy family is completely out of control, it will be very dangerous, and it may lead to fire.
Chu Yi naturally noticed the gazes of everyone, with a smile on his lips, his eyes fell on a figure and said: "Wang Yangming, I see that you look calm, and you don't seem to be worried about these rebels, big or small!"
After hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked at Wang Shouren. After a quick look, it was true that it was exactly what Chu Yi said. Wang Shouren was sitting there with a calm look on his face. He was not shocked at all like them.
The look of worry.
Wang Shouren chuckled lightly and said with a somewhat calm look on his face: "It's the same with the General Manager. I'm afraid the General Manager doesn't take these clowns to heart either."
