Chapter 100: The Last Ashes

Cao Huachun grabbed the barrel of the gun with all his strength and said: "Ambition is originally hidden in your body. ”

Mu Tiantao gritted his teeth and said: "I have ambitions, but ambitions have long been smashed into powder under the giant hammer of Yun Zhao, and I even believe that there are many ambitious people in this world who are as ambitious as me."

Like me, even if they were ambitious, they were doused by Yun Zhao's saliva.

Cao Gong, Yun Zhao is the most terrifying one I have ever seen, or known.

The closer people got to him, the more they could feel this wave-like coercion.

You should understand that I have ambitions, but, I don't dare! ”

Cao Huachun showed a smile on his face, let go of the barrel of the gun, and endured the severe pain and smiled: "Child, you have to take your time, take your time, Yun Zhao has done a very ridiculous thing - that is, to establish the people's congress system."

For many years, I have been waiting for Yun Zhao to make a mistake, he has been walking very steadily, I thought that this life was hopeless, but I didn't expect that when I was desperate, he finally made a mistake under pride and complacency.

You have to learn to be patient, you have to be patient, ten, twenty, thirty, even if it's a hundred years, you can always wait for the opportunity. ”

After speaking, Cao Huachun reluctantly handed over a hand and said, "Take away the bracelet, this is the old man's ten years of poor work prepared for you......"

Before he finished his words, he swallowed his last breath, and his body was strung by Mu Tiantao's spear, and he did not fall to the ground.

Mu Tiantao was silent for a moment, and finally pulled back the spear suddenly, and when he returned the spear, the tip of the spear picked up the bracelet.

He didn't look at the bracelet, the bracelet turned around on the tip of the gun and was stuffed into the barrel of the cannon, and after the officer "fired", the bracelet flew into the group of thieves with the cannonball......

Mu Tiantao didn't know if there were Lantian secret spies around him, eighty percent of them were, but he didn't know who this person was.

Cao Huachun must also know this truth...... Therefore, he came to Mu Tiantao for only one purpose - that is, to make Lantian suspicious of Mu Tiantao.

Mu Tiantao understood that no matter whether he killed Cao Huachun or not, Cao Huachun's goal was achieved.

He even believed that the news about Cao Huachun's treasure house should have begun to circulate in the capital.

And he, Mu Tiantao, was the last person to see the living Cao Huachun......

Sometimes the human heart is darker than ink, and sometimes it is more fierce than a wolf.

Cao Huachun used his life to lay a bane for the nascent Yun dynasty.

"More than one treasure trove!"

When Xia Wanchun learned the news of Cao Huachun's treasure house, he quickly reported it to Han Lingshan.

However, Han Lingshan was not surprised at all by this matter.

"And the treasure trove?"

Han Lingshan saw that Xia Wanchun's eyes began to spew golden light, so he smiled indifferently and said: "It is said that there are still 37 million taels of silver accumulated in the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, and now, it is gone. ”

Xia Wanchun said in surprise: "Won't it?" ”

Han Lingshan shrugged his shoulders and said: "I don't think it will be, the Ming Dynasty has eroded into this appearance, if there is so much silver, it is impossible not to take it out, can it be used to force the people of the world?" ”

"yes, who would believe it?"

"Someone believed."

"Who, who's so stupid?"

"Li Hongji outside the city, he believed, not only believed, but also believed, they even thought that the Ming Dynasty had cheated the people of the world for 300 years, and it was a natural thing to have 37 million taels of silver."

Xia Wanchun grabbed his hair and said: "He is also a generation of heroes......

"His reasoning is very simple - the silver thing will not disappear, I just don't know whose hands it is."

"Does my master believe it?"

Han Lingshan said with a smile: "Your master only believes that wealth is created by the hands of the people, and never thinks that excavating one or two treasure houses can make the people rich."

On the contrary, if there were 37 million taels of silver suddenly appeared in the Ming Dynasty, it would be a disaster for the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the price of silver will not even be comparable to the price of copper, and the situation of copper being expensive and silver being cheap will appear, which will disrupt the existing economic order of our Lantian field.

It will also cause the economic development of Lantian to stagnate, and only when the value of our newly created wealth exceeds the 3,700 taels of silver will our social economy continue to develop.

Your master's exact words were—37,000,000,000 taels of silver, what do you want it to do? In another ten years, we'll give up silver ...... altogether."

"However, the stupid Li Hongji will not look at it like this, he will think that as long as there is silver, it means that he has money, people, and materials."

Han Lingshan laughed and said: "Except for my Lantian, the whole Ming Dynasty is in the midst of war, plus Shi Lang's navy has begun to blockade the Ming Sea Frontier, if our Lantian doesn't use silver to trade, then, what can Li Hongji do with more silver in his hand?"

Eighty percent of the treasure matter is Cao Huachun's trickery, you see, Cao Huachun's treasure incident will not be only one, and even Zhang Bingzhong's treasure, Li Hongji's treasure and so on will appear in the future. ”

Xia Wanchun looked vigilantly at Han Lingshan, who was looking up to the sky and laughing, he felt that Cao Huachun might compile the first half of this treasure play, and the second half would probably come from Han Lingshan.

"The story of a treasure is like a big drama, enough to see the world clearly."

Xia Wanchun said: "Do we need to figure out the matter of Cao Huachun's treasure?" After all, this matter is more related to Mu Tiantao. ”

Han Lingshan sighed and said, "It has nothing to do with Mu Tiantao, it has something to do with Zhu Yujiao." ”

Xia Wanchun shook his head and said, "Zhu Yujiao is too stupid. ”

Han Lingshan shook his head and said, "It's often stupid people who are really worthy of entrusting them with great responsibilities, not smart people. ”

"Why is that?"

"You'll understand after you suffer a few more stupid people's losses in the future."

"I'm going to investigate Zhu Yujiao."

"No!"

"And why?"

"Don't you understand? The reason why stupid people are called stupid is because they know that they are stupid, so when they find you close to her, she will shut up, hide her mind and do nothing, and she will be very resolute.

People don't do anything, how do you investigate?

When you ignore him, she will panic and will find a way to cover it up or solve the problem.

Once the stupid man starts to figure out a way, the opportunity to show his feet will come. ”

"Then I'll send someone to keep an eye on her?"

"Don't stare at it, let's talk about it after a while, she doesn't have the time or energy to deal with the matter of Cao Huachun's treasure now, and it's not too late to think about this matter after the war in the capital subsides."

Han Lingshan and Xia Wanchun had no plans to leave the capital.

War, troubled times are a small thing for them.

They are the strongmen of the world, and the harsh environment is the time for them to achieve great things.

Liu Zongmin, who couldn't wait to take the lead in capturing the capital, withdrew in the evening after the failure of the attempt, but he did not go far, camped fifteen miles away from the capital, and waited for the arrival of the main army.

The people in the capital were silent.

The palace was also silent, and the emperor had not been in court for two days.

In fact, the emperor went to court early, but there were very few officials who could come, and the rank was not high.

The morning bell and dusk drum will still ring on time, indicating that the ancient city is still alive.

Zhu Yujiao was wearing leather armor and was directing a large group of eunuchs, and the palace ladies were loading things into the carriage.

Someone stood up and commanded, the eunuchs, and the palace ladies seemed to have the backbone, and after getting the promise that the princess would take them all away, they who had always been lazy also had the motivation to work in a short time.

The blood-red sun sets over the cornices of the palace in winter, and in a few moments it gets dark.

Sometimes Chongzhen stood at the door of the hall and could see that his daughter was loading things, as if she was moving, but he didn't say a word, and now, the emperor's eyes are indifferent, and there is no temperature when he looks at anyone and things.

He also had no retinue by his side, only the old eunuch Wang Chengen still accompanied him.

Just this morning, he wrote down a "pro-conquest edict": "In the past, I personally led the six divisions, and the prince was informed of the important affairs of the state, and told the subjects that if they can work hard to be loyal and brave, or help with food, grass, equipment, mules, horses, boats and vehicles, they will listen to the army in front of them, and they will never break their promises. ”

It can be seen that the emperor wants to make a last stand, he wants the "six divisions" as his entourage, but where are his "six divisions"?

He summoned the minister's family members, Liu Wenbing, the Marquis of Xinle, and Gong Yonggu, the concubine, and said: "The laws and regulations are strict, how dare the ministers keep their families privately? ”

He asked where the soldiers of the big battalion were and Li Guozhen, the governor of the Beijing camp, was there, and the answer he received was that they had all been scattered.

He summoned the eunuchs, but except for a few panicked henchmen who were still around, none of the others came.

…… Watching his daughter leading a large group of eunuchs, the palace ladies packed things, and Chongzhen's heart was as calm as water.

It wasn't until Zhu Yujiao put a big coat on him that he looked at his daughter's face and said, "Can you go into battle to kill the enemy?" ”

Zhu Yujiao nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Chongzhen looked at the eunuch Gong'e who was full of courtyards and said in a low voice: "Okay, I have a division." ”

Zhu Yujiao said again: "There are 8,000 soldiers under Mu Tiantao, 16,000 soldiers and horses under Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, and 5,000 soldiers under Zhu Guobi, the Duke of Baoguo. ”

Chongzhen Mu Ne said: "Okay, I have four divisions, and when I have enough six divisions, we will go out of the city to kill thieves." ”

Zhu Yujiao stood on tiptoe, helped her father straighten up her messy hair, and said, "Father, you have to sleep now and eat a good meal, otherwise, you won't have the strength to kill the enemy when you go into battle." ”

Chongzhen nodded and said, "Quasi-play." ”

After speaking, he took Wang Chengen back to Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yujiao sent her father away, and then turned back to the eunuchs and palace ladies and said, "Speed up, we must take away all the things we need within three days."

When the time comes, there will be an army of 8,000 people from the prince of Mu Wangfu to protect us from the capital, remember, all of them must be changed into clothes suitable for running, if we can't keep up at that time, there will be no way to live. ”

The eunuchs wept and agreed, and hurriedly continued to load things on the carriage.
