There is a good saying, there are no soldiers in this world, only soldiers.

It is the duty of a soldier to eat food as a soldier, and it is also his duty to work hard in wartime.

What they want most is a general who can lead them to victory.

Winning a battle means honor, military merit, and reward, but these are far less important than living.

Soldiers need a commander who can win battles.

Especially these soldiers, who have already surrendered twice, they need it more urgently, they crave stability and do not want to surrender a third time.

The three surnamed domestic slaves, even if they are illiterate, know that they have insulted their ancestors.

The stability of these 10,000 people has made the entire city of Hangzhou look new.

Even the people in Xicheng who had been looted by Fang Guoan's command were no longer angry.

They knew that war was coming again.

I also know that if the Ming army in the city abandons the city and retreats, then they will become slaves again and become the people of the country.

The money lost is less important than that.

From the bottom to the top of the city of Hangzhou, the hearts of the people gathered and slowly condensed into a rope - the War of Resistance!

In the city of Hangzhou, preparations for war have been a major event for the military and the people to work together.

But at this time, Wu Zheng couldn't be happy.

The enemy is too strong, and it is not Wu Zheng's biggest headache.

The headache is the eating, drinking, and Lazar of the 10,000 surrendered troops, as well as the damned salary.

If you have no money, everything is sad, and it is difficult to die a hero for a penny.

Raising soldiers is the most expensive thing in the world.

This is actually the most fundamental reason why Wu Zheng must choose to rely on Zhu Yihai.

If you don't have money, you don't have an army, and no matter how ambitious you are, no one will follow you to drink the northwest wind.

Of course, Wu Zheng can rob like the allies under Fang Guoan.

But in that case, you will fall into a vicious circle, and the more you rob, the more you will not get the support of the people, so that later, your subordinates will betray you one by one.

Therefore, what Wu Zheng is facing now is not the imminent attack of Duoduo, but how to feed the extra 10,000 people.

Who would have thought that it would be so easy to attack Hangzhou City?

Wu Zheng naturally would not have thought that he would take over the 10,000 surrendered troops.

These people are different from the people brought by Wu Zheng.

The officers and soldiers of the guard station already knew Wu Zheng's mentality of doing what he said, and besides, in the past few months, Wu Zheng had never been short of their salaries, and after the three wars, the rewards were also allocated according to the more.

This battle only lasted four or five days, and he would not ask Wu for any military salary at all.

But these 10,000 people are different, they have always been under the jurisdiction of the Tartars as a surrendered army.

These days, it's good that the Tartars can give them enough food to eat, and the silver?

Dream on.

Wu Zheng took over, so he had to dig out the silver, why?

We must calm the hearts of the army.

He has money in his pocket, he is brave, and he walks with the wind.

Besides, the big war is about to begin, and you don't need silver to reward and boost morale.

It is said that fighting a war is a desperate thing with your head, and at this time, talking to people about ideals and loyalty is talking about the piano to the cow.

Wu Zheng did not expect these people to be loyal to the country and the nation without reciprocation, and I am afraid that none of the officers and soldiers of the guard post could do this.

Time, it takes time. Wu Zheng muttered to himself.

It doesn't take much, give yourself a year or two, and you can make these bad people reborn.

But where did it come from for a year or two?

I can only train them while fighting, but this is an afterthought, and what I need now is silver.

Raided all the warehouses of the yamen in Dongcheng, and those small yamen such as Qiantang Xue and Minglun Hall had no oil and water to fish, and only found more than 10,000 taels of silver in the salt courtyard and weaving mansion.

The fattest Buzheng Division, the Salt Road Division, the Weaving Bureau, and the Hangzhou Mansion are all in Xicheng, and they have long been looted by Fang Guoan.

More than 10,000 taels of silver, the people brought to himself are barely enough, but for this 10,000 surrendered army, it is far behind.

"Chi Erhan." Wu Zheng almost roared.

Chi Erhan was already dodging, but when he heard Wu Zheng's roar, he hesitated and stepped forward and said, "Young master, I'm here." ”

"Where's the silver?"

"This ...... Hasn't it already been handed over to the young master? ”

"He's X, just more than a thousand taels of silver, when your young master begs for food?" Wu Zheng scolded, "Do you know, those 10,000 people will get 10,000 taels for one tael each, the young master is from Shaoxing Mansion, who knows that he would think of such a bunch of people?" Did you bring silver? ”

Chi Erhan said: "Who will bring silver to the battlefield, isn't this cheaper Tartar?" ”

"That's it!" Wu Zheng tilted his head and clapped his hand, "But is it reasonable for the young master to tell them?" ”

Chi Erhan shook his head and said, "No, how can this be." Otherwise, in just a few days, it is impossible to greet the envoy like the soldiers of the guard, but if there is a vicious battle, I am afraid that it will be collapsed in an instant. ”

"Yo...... Do you still understand, then you still want to find a way to share the young master's worries? In the past two days, you have found more than a thousand taels for the young master? ”

Chi Erhan blushed and said, "Young master, I have said all the good things...... These rich people are all treacherous ....... ”

Wu Zheng was speechless, annoyed in his heart, and kicked Chi Erhan on the buttocks, "Didn't I tell you to go to those rich people who surrendered?" To deal with those people, the means can be relaxed, if you are a young master, you are a fart. ”

Chi Erhan's face flushed, "I did as the young master said, and even drew a knife." But they are very hard, and they refuse to pay for money, saying that they don't want money, but they have a life. The young master didn't know that those rich people in Dongcheng all looked at the Mo family and said that as long as the Mo family donated money, they would donate it. ”

"Phew...... Can they still be so hard? It's really hard, why is it so soft as snot when you see the tartar? Do you still need money, you have to die, what about playing single? You won't use the knife, really kill two and try it? ”

Chi Erhan blinked and said in a muffled voice, "Young master, this ...... Not really, right? After all, it's not a Tartar, killing people in the city, and spreading it will ruin the reputation of the young master. ”

Wu Zheng was furious and scolded: "Something that doesn't open the mind, didn't I tell you, this is to punish traitors, do traitors know?" This is called the elimination of harm for the people and the elimination of traitors for the country...... I'll go, Xiao Anzi, Xiao Anzi. ”

Song An heard the voice, "What did the young master tell me?" ”

Wu Zheng asked Chi Erhan, "Who is the richest in the city...... Belch...... Which of the richest people I mean are the richest among the rich who have taken refuge in the Tartars? ”

Chi Erhan said: "I inquired, the Mo family in Hangzhou who took refuge in the Tartars is the richest. ”

"The Mo family?" Wu Zheng thought about it, he hadn't heard of it, so he left it, "Xiao Anzi, you lead the team to copy the Mo family." ”

"Yes, young master."

Xiao Anzi was ordered to go.

Leaving Chi Erhan to hold back a smile.

Wu Zheng asked angrily, "What are you laughing at?" Can't even do such a thing, and still have a smile? ”

Chi Erhan said with a smile: "Young master, you don't know, what about the Mo family...... Hey, when Xiao Anzi comes back, the young master will know. ”

Wu Zheng became curious, "Let's go, then the young master of the Mo family can't move?" ”
