Chapter 589: Sword, I Have My Own Thoughts

Mo Zhinian suddenly raised his head and asked: "If the profit generated by the Chamber of Commerce is regarded as a piece of cake made, and this cake is worth 100 percent, then ten people can get 10 points." But if you give 100 people, everyone will have one point. Is the old decay right? ”

"Yes." Wu Zheng sighed, this is not a matter of simple trading, so he explained, "But Mo Lao has not thought about it, these ten people share a piece of bread, and the other ninety people are eyeing each other, how much money do the ten people who share the cake have to come up with to recruit guards to prevent these ninety people from grabbing the cake?" Financial, material, and energy resources can all be regarded as profits. But on the other hand, if these 90 people are accommodated, then there will be 100 people to share the risk, and if someone comes to rob them, those 90 people will defend their vested interests more firmly than the first 10 people. ”

Mo was obsessed and said, "But the cake is so big ......." ”

Wu Zheng snorted coldly and said, "Old Mo is stubborn...... Who told you that the loaf is so big? Ten people can make a cake the size of a table, a hundred people can make a cake the size of a house, and ten thousand people can make the whole world. ”

Mo obsession is like being bombarded by thunder, at this moment, he finally understood what Wu Zheng meant, this matter must be seen from the perspective of Zhengzhi, in order to be able to truly understand, not simply operate.

"Thank you for the teaching, the old man finally understands."

Wu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Mo Zhi is a smart person, otherwise, it would really ...... Too tired.

"Mo Lao, there is a sentence you have to remember." When Wu Zheng was obsessed with retiring, he said leisurely, "Don't pull some people who are eating cakes but want to smash the pot into the Chamber of Commerce." ”

Mo was obsessed with a pang in his heart, and hurriedly responded: "Remember, old decay." ”

What is puzzling is that in this conversation that lasted almost two hours, the two did not mention the family affairs that were supposed to be put into action and close at hand.

As if it didn't exist, never existed.

They are all smart people, and smart people know what to mention, and it is useless to mention anything, since it is useless, you might as well not mention it.

……。

North of Yingtianfu.

Longtan, the residence of the sailors.

Wang Zhiren scolded.

He was scolding the court, the emperor, and Wu Zheng.

The guards around the tent were selectively deaf, and they surrounded the tent as a human wall, a distance of one mile, and no one was allowed to approach it.

Wang Zhiren had reason to be angry, because the news he had just received that the Qing army not only withdrew Yizhen, but also made a detour of an army of 5,000 people and approached Enzhou.

What does this mean?

It means that the retreat of the Ming army in Jiangdu will be cut off, and it will be surrounded by the Qing army on all sides, not only will it not be able to return to Yizhen, but even the retreat to the south will be cut off by the Qing army.

This matter really can't blame the Qing army for being shameless and breaking the armistice treaty.

According to the armistice agreement signed by Chen Zilong and Hong Chengchou, the Ming army should have withdrawn from Jiangdu and returned to the south bank seven days ago.

But the problem is that Wang Zhiren is unwilling.

Say that Wang Zhiren is disloyal, he is also loyal, abandon Wu Zheng to support Zhu Cihong, Wu Zheng returned the tax rights of the three governments, and he Wang Zhiren returned it without saying a word, although his heart was like a knife.

Say that Wang Zhiren is unjust, he is also righteous. At least Wu Zheng asked him to train the new army on his behalf, and Wang Zhiren took the initiative to return all the money consumed by Wu Zheng, and also posted tens of thousands of taels of interest. At least Zhoushan Shuishi broke away from Wang Zhiren and went south to rebuild, and he Wang Zhiren did not maliciously obstruct him, at most intercepted a few "small boats".

Therefore, Wang Zhiren thinks that he is affectionate, righteous, loyal and righteous.

However, as a coach, Wang Zhiren has a lot to consider.

For example, he secretly instructed He Laosan to incite the soldiers of the Ming army in Jiangdu to resolutely not withdraw, it was not that Wang Zhiren really wanted to fight against the imperial court, and of course he did not want to insist on the Northern Expedition and fight with the Qing army.

Wang Zhiren just wanted to use Jiang Bu as a bargaining chip with the imperial court.

Unlike Wu Zheng, he lost the taxes of the three governments, which basically unloaded one of his arms.

But what Wang Zhiren didn't expect was that the imperial court intensified and actually got involved in commercial taxes.

What's even more infuriating is that the kid in Hangzhou Mansion not only easily returned the taxes, but also agreed to the imperial court to take a share of the commercial taxes, which is equivalent to removing his other arm.

How could Wang Zhiren not scold his mother?

What is also infuriating is that the Qing army fell into the well and actually wanted to encircle Jiangdu, if this 10,000 water division was annihilated, then Wang Zhiren would lose nearly half of his troops.

This is an irreversible disaster for Wang Zhiren.

But Wang Zhiren couldn't make it clear to the court and asked for support, because the sailor Lai did not withdraw from the river, which was disobedience.

Wang Zhiren was anxious, and hurriedly sent someone to order Wang Yilin, and immediately led the army to retreat while the Qing army had not yet closed. At the same time, he sent an urgent to Hangzhou Mansion to ask Wu Zheng for help, hoping that the Zhoushan Naval Division would quickly go north, just in case.

He himself began to assemble the sailors on the south bank, preparing to meet Wang Yilin's southward return on the river.

……。

Wang Zhiren didn't know that his order to withdraw troops was equivalent to directly igniting the anger of Jiangdu's Ming army.

In Wang Zhiren's view, the short-term civil unrest that broke out in the capital before was not a big deal.

Arrears of food and salaries, from the end of the Ming Dynasty to the present, are not uncommon.

Even officials can drag on for more than half a year, and they are in arrears of soldiers' pensions, so it's not a big deal.

Although Wang Zhiren also sympathized with the families of the fallen soldiers, he did not object to the arrears of the imperial court.

At least the imperial court still issued a part of the pension.

Therefore, Wang Zhiren did not pay attention to the consequences of this matter.

But what he didn't know was that the impact of this incident was far beyond what he could imagine, not only on the soldiers of Jingwei and the South Bank Naval Division, but also on the Jiangdu army that was confronting the enemy.

……。

Before Qian Sudian left Jiangdu and returned to Beijing, he entrusted the hundreds of remnants of the Beijing Guard who survived the bloody battle of Yizhen to Wang Yilin.

Wang Yilin agreed to take care of Qian Sudian in order to let Qian Sudian feel at ease to carry the pot of disobedience for him, and at the same time to respect this remnant, so he agreed to take care of Qian Sudian, and also promised to organize these hundreds of people into a separate battalion.

But Wang Yilin was careless after all, and he didn't do it immediately.

In Wang Yilin's view, this soldier will be withdrawn after all, and the court has signed an armistice treaty, and this battle cannot be fought.

Anyway, it's only a matter of a few days, so why bother?

In addition to the hundreds of surviving Jingwei soldiers, military discipline is also strict.

Therefore, under the instigation of He Laosan, Wang Yilin promised the whole army to stay in Jiangdu, and he was busy reinforcing the city defense.

Slowly, I forgot about it.

There was no war, and in the same city, the soldiers were all from Jiangnan, and seven or eight out of ten of these people were fellow villagers, and they could even find people from the same county, township, and village, and they could get nicknames.

This kind of mutual movement is really normal, and naturally it will not be restricted.

But when the news of the civil unrest in the capital, the families of the fallen soldiers being bullied, and the pension being replaced by a white strip came, this matter gradually began to become unusual.

Any soldier who is fighting outside the country will be afraid that he will also have resentment when he hears the news.

And this can definitely be a reason to connect everyone.

At this time, Wang Zhiren's retreat order was tantamount to giving the soldiers a reason to start an incident.

Because once he retreats to the south bank and is under the suppression of Wang Zhiren and the imperial court, if he wants to do anything again, he will have no chance.
