Chapter 1048 New Year's Goods
The result of the battle was not unexpected, and the ending of Gao Yingxiang and the others was actually doomed as early as the failure of the breakthrough a few nights ago.
Under the suppression of 500 Mini rifles, the archers of the rogues could not exert any strength at all, but anyone who dared to show their heads would attract a barrage of lead bullets, and after the death of hundreds of people, even the bravest rogues became shrunken turtles, and the rest of the matter became uneventful.
The Jiangning army was able to calmly climb the city wall with a ladder, and then dispersed the rogues at the head of the city, and the sergeants opened the city gate and rushed into Mengjin City, and then tens of thousands of rogue bandits were killed because of resistance, and the rest all surrendered, and even Gao Yingxianghe, Huang Long, Liu Chao and other leaders also became prisoners.
The whole process was no different from a peacetime exercise, after a big battle, all the rogues were annihilated, and the Jiangning army only paid more than a dozen casualties.
This was a brilliant victory, annihilating and capturing more than 60,000 thieves, and only more than 10 casualties on their side.
However, Yang Feng was not happy, because through the interrogation of the prisoners, he learned that Li Zicheng had already escaped by boat on the night of the breakthrough two days earlier.
Yang Feng, who came from another time and space, knew that the escaped Li Zicheng was the henchman of the Ming Dynasty, and in another time and space, Zhu Youxiao's successor, Emperor Chongzhen, was forced to hang himself by him.
And this one seems to have a special attribute, he can't be killed no matter what, he has been driven to a desperate situation by the Ming army several times, and he can always survive in a desperate situation. Even if there are only more than a dozen people left around him, it won't be long before this one will make a comeback, just like the unbeatable Xiaoqiang, every rebirth will be more powerful than the original.
Of course, Yang Feng is not worried about this, he has even destroyed the Manchu Qing Tartars, and he is afraid that a rogue leader will not succeed, he just doesn't want to involve too much of his energy on the rogues.
After the big victory, Mengjin City ushered in a heavy snowfall, after a day and a night of heavy snowfall, Mengjin City's snow has now reached the foot and neck, such weather is not suitable for the march of the large army in any case, Yang Feng, who originally wanted to continue to order the army to cross the Yellow River and continue to pursue, could only order the whole army to stop moving, stay in Mengjin City and wait for the snow to stop before making plans.
"Doodoo ......"
"Come in!"
The door was pushed open, and Song Ye's figure appeared at the door.
"Grandpa Qiqiguo, Master Li Ge asks to see you!"
"Let him in!"
Yang Feng, who was bowing his head and writing, said casually.
Soon, Li Ge's figure appeared in front of Yang Feng.
"My subordinates have seen Grandpa Guo!"
"Get up!" Yang Feng raised his head, looked at Li Ge and said with a smile: "Li Ge, what is the important thing for you to come to see my father?" Could it be that there is no food in the army? No, my father remembers that the grain and grass we seized this time are enough for us to eat until the beginning of spring next year. ”
Li Ge shook his head and said, "Grandpa Guo, my subordinates are asking to see you this time. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, but our meat, wine, clothes and many other materials are not enough, I wonder if Grandpa Guo can write a letter to King Fu of Luoyang City, asking him to send someone to send some, or we can go to Luoyang to buy it ourselves! ”
"Hmm......"
Yang Feng touched his chin, yes, the new year is coming, but he is still leading the troops as in previous years, how many years have it been like this every time the New Year comes, he can't remember how long he hasn't spent the New Year with his family, especially this time he led the troops to go out, he hasn't returned to modern society for more than two months to accompany Yan Danchen and Xu Ziqing, and his own pair of children, I don't know what happened now.
Thinking of this, Yang Feng was a little stunned for a while.
"Grandpa Guo...... Grandpa Guo ......"
Li Ge's somewhat uneasy voice came from the side, Yang Feng came back to his senses and coughed lightly, "I'm sorry, my father is distracted." By the way, where did we just go? ”
"Grandpa Guo, it's time for the New Year, should we send someone to Fuwang or simply go to Luoyang or other state capitals to buy some New Year's goods to reward the army, so that everyone will be happy?"
"yes, it's almost the New Year." Yang Feng nodded with emotion: "But there is no need to turn the fate, we are not so poor that we can't open the pot, why let people look down on it." That's good, my father will send a batch of New Year's goods these days, so that everyone is happy. ”
Li Ge was overjoyed: "Oh...... Could it be that Grandpa Feiguo has already notified the Daming Royal Commercial House and asked them to send New Year's goods? I don't know when it will be delivered, and in what quantity? Belch...... The subordinates lost their words, don't blame the grandfather! ”
Seeing that Yang Feng was indifferent, Li Ge immediately realized that he had leaked his mouth.
The Daming Royal Commercial Bank has now become the largest commercial house in Daming, and it is also the money bag of the old Zhu family, relying on it Zhu Youxiao can get millions of taels of dividends every year.
You know, this is the old Zhu family's private money, it does not need to be put into the treasury, with the further expansion of the Ming Royal Commercial Bank, Zhu Youxiao's annual distribution of silver is also increasing year by year, which is also the most important reason why Yang Feng and Zhu Youxiao's family have such a close relationship.
Yang Feng, who grew up in modern society since he was a child, knows that the Son of Heaven is selfless and the heavenly family is ruthless, and it is most undesirable to rely on friendship and friendship alone to stabilize the relationship.
If you want to maintain the relationship between the two parties for a long time, the most effective way is to bind the two parties together with interests.
With this foundation, no matter whether Zhu Youxiao or someone else becomes the emperor in the future, for the sake of the face of millions of taels of silver every year, as long as his descendants do not die or rebel, no emperor will touch him.
Because of this, Yang Feng's attention to the Daming Royal Commercial Bank is naturally undoubted, and the people around him also know this, so no one will rashly meddle in the affairs of the commercial house on weekdays.
However, Yang Feng also knew that Li Ge was unintentional, and he didn't blame him, so he waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about this matter, you will naturally know when the goods arrive in a few days, if it's okay, you can retreat first!" ”
"Understood, subordinates retired!" Li Ge gave a salute and stepped back.
Yang Feng sat in the room and pondered for a while, then called Song Ye and told him that he was going out for a few days, and if there was anything in the past few days, let Gou Xingma and a few people discuss it, and if they couldn't handle it, they would wait for him to come back and deal with it.
After instructing Song Ye, Yang Feng made some preparations, and that night he slipped back to modern society by moonlight.
