At the same time that Zhang Han received the Tang report, the news of Mobei's surrender had already spread throughout Qingcheng.

Everyone was stunned, even the people inside He Yusheng didn't expect this thing to go so smoothly.

Recently, the military division is mobilizing troops and horses, and the main force of the lancer regiment is already preparing to go north, and three thousand iron cavalry can step through the entire desert north, but if the enemy hides in the vast grassland, the logistics of several thousand people is not as simple as a few hundred people raiding and looting, just carrying the food must be prepared in advance, and the cost of the war will be very high, but it is also the price that should be prepared and paid.

As soon as this incident came out, the most relieved was the quartermaster department.

Liu Peng, the deputy director of the Quartermaster Department, smiled at Li Shenming and said, "This is good, you don't have to look at Tian Jitang's black face." ”

Tian Jitang's black face is already a well-known scenery in Heyusheng, and even Sun Jingting is afraid to see it.

The bigger He Yusheng's stall, the more expenses will be, and the fixed income has risen to 300,000 taels every month, but the two months of mobilization are still beyond his means, and Tian Jitang's face is of course as black as it gets.

"The output of copper mines has increased recently, and it is estimated that the monthly income can reach 400,000 yuan, which is about the same as the expenditure." Li Shenming said casually: "In addition, I have gained a lot recently, so I don't have to worry too much in a month or two." ”

Liu Peng's face was worried: "But the easy-to-mine area of the copper mine is estimated to be able to support it for two or three months." ”

The easy mining area of copper ore is relatively not small, the progress of domestic copper mining technology will not be until the middle of the Qing Dynasty, when the copper mining volume in Yunnan has increased greatly, and the serious lack of copper has been alleviated, and now the copper mine output in the Ming Dynasty is not large, on the one hand, because it is necessary to operate in the deep mine, it is not easy to mine, on the other hand, the government does not pay much attention to mining, and there is no expansion of the mining area and more manual mining, like the Song Dynasty is also a lack of copper, but the two Song Dynasty courts regard mining as a top priority, Therefore, the lack of copper in the Song Dynasty was not as powerful as that of the Ming Dynasty.

The dividends of the copper mining area now support the war with Yusheng, the trade, logistics and account business in the north, plus the smuggling route to Houjin, the monthly income of 300,000 taels, and the monthly income of the copper mine is 100,000 taels of silver per month.

However, the expenditure was also staggeringly large, and in June the wartime expenditure for a month exceeded 600,000 taels, and this was also because the war ended in a short period of time, and a considerable amount of the expenditure was paid last year...... The peak of the construction of the fort was last year, and more than two million silver was spent on it.

So far, the cost of building forts and clearing wasteland, and Yusheng has spent 3 million taels in the grassland war, which is more than 80% of the net income last year.

It can be said that if there were no huge profits from the smuggling route to Dongyu, only the iron tools, the account bureau and logistics income would not be able to support the current Heyu Shenglai.

This cost is relatively economical, the three major expeditions of the Wanli Dynasty that are not long away, only one battle of Ningxia used more than 2 million silver, and the Ming court just mobilized troops and horses from all walks of life to besiege a city. The Battle of Banshu cost three million. The most costly, the two battles before and after the use of troops to aid the DPRK, cost more than 8 million silver!

This is completely astronomical, there must be no lack of water, the soldiers and horses at the beginning of the Ming army into the dynasty were mainly Liaozhen cavalry, of which the absolute main force was the cavalry of the Li family and Qi Jiguang's Zhejiang soldiers, most of them were transferred from Liaozhen and Jizhen, Xuanda and other places were just false stories, and did not transfer too many soldiers and horses.

The army entered the DPRK not only with the allocation of Taicang silver and internal silver, but also the local deposit of silver and the allocation of grain, Liaozhen and Jizhen military food expenditure of hundreds of thousands of stones, tens of millions of catties of grain through the local transport to North Korea, but in fact, at the beginning of the entry into the DPRK, the army's grain was supplied by the Koreans, and later felt that the Koreans were powerless, one was that the local poverty and the people were scattered, and the second was that the officials were very incompetent and could not do anything.

The three major levies add up to more than 10 million silver, and the imperial court is casually taking out the silver to use, mainly because of the foundation laid by Zhang Juzheng for ten years.

Therefore, everyone knows that the financial problem is very important, and Yusheng has no place to levy Liao.

"By the end of this year, it is estimated that there will be more than three million by the time of the report." Li Shenming crossed his fingers and said: "There are many water conservancy projects in the next step, which are all counted in the military account, as well as the restoration of the Mobei trade route, and the construction of a large trade place in Mobei, these are all things that cost money like flowing water." ”

After Li Shenming finished speaking, he shook his head and said, "Look, there will be headaches from the Finance Bureau in the future." ”

Everyone burst into laughter.

Speaking of this topic, although it is not very easy, but no one is heavy-hearted.

Laying such a large territory, there are dozens of Datong Prefectures in the Naturalization City alone, and if Mobei is in hand, it is more than a dozen large territories in Shanxi Province, which is equal to most of the northern part of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if the land is vast and sparsely populated, you can manage it well, and people will not have opinions on spending money on it, and everyone thinks the same, no matter how difficult it is, you have to stand it down.

Of course, Tian Jitang, who is in charge of finance, will have a headache and his face will be darker, but after all, it is Tian Hei's face, and he will have a headache.

"After the copper mine," Liu Peng said, "I'm afraid that the south can send some silver over, so I can make up for it." ”

So far, the use of silver on the Taiwan side is 1.3 million, and it has not seen any results, I heard that it is still nested in Bengang and nearby places for more than ten miles, and the people are not very satisfied with this, and the fourth regiment has also arrived in Taiwan, and it seems that there is no decent merit.

An official suddenly said: "I'm afraid it's difficult, but at the end of the year, there will definitely be a large number of reimbursements from Taiwan, so it's good if you don't ask Li Zhuang to stretch out your hand." ”

Another said: "There are only a few thousand Hongmaoyi on the Taiwan side, how can it be more difficult to fight than the Mongols?" ”

"The 100,000 Beiyu are not our opponents, and the Taiwan side is still a little bit of a point."

"Alright." Li Shenming said with some displeasure: "Why have you learned to chew your wife's tongue now, if you are idle and panicked, you might as well find something to do." ”

Everyone didn't say anything too much, after all, it was Chang Wei who presided over the overall situation of Taiwan, and added the title of deputy director of the Military Command Department and Taiwan's marching sub-division, with these titles, Taiwan's military, political and business affairs are presided over by Chang Wei, even if Chang Wei does not have the identity of Zhang Han's cousin, he is also a high-ranking official with old qualifications who has long followed, and he is a henchman among his henchmen, and there is also Chang Ning in the inner house, Chang Wei is a serious relative.

Li Shenming doesn't care about Chang Wei's identity, his identity with Sun Jingting and Kong Minxing and others is very stable, and he has his own unique position in the system of He Yusheng, and in the past few years, power and prestige have also accumulated to a certain point, and there is nothing remarkable for the people below to talk about a few words.

Li Shenming pushed everyone away, there is something more important.

A moment later, an ordinary-looking man of about thirty hurriedly came, and after bowing his respects, he sat down opposite Li Shenming.

"Wang Yong, you are also the director of the Internal Intelligence Department." Li Shenming said: "You don't have to salute me like this. ”

"When Mr. first arrived at He Yusheng, we bowed and met like this." Wang Yong said casually: "My respect for Mr. is not for the official position, but from the heart. ”

"Very good." Li Shenming said: "But I summoned you not to talk about personal friendship, but to talk about official business." ”

Wang Yong smiled slightly, and was silent.

"And Yusheng set up branches in various places, and the directors of the branch presided over the daily affairs, and reported important matters to the top, and then reported after the emergency matters were decided. On the grassland, because there is still a war, so it is the same as Taiwan, the establishment of the marching division, in addition to the absence of the attendant division, each division has a division, in case of trouble is the chief decision of the rank of marching division, the naturalization of the marching division is currently me and Mr. Sun, Mr. Li three, in case of trouble I can implement the three of them after the decision, do you know this matter? ”

Wang Yong replied: "I know this matter below, this is what the adults mean, and in the future, they may be divided into the Naturalization Marching Division, Shangyi Marching Fort and Yunnei Marching Division, and other officers, the adults said that they can't just think about the army fighting, but also have to consider the things after the war, prepare the military personnel in advance, and start cleaning up after the battle, so as to save a lot of chaos." ”

Li Shenming said with a smile: "This is also his laziness, if there is no marching division, all military affairs still have to be reported to Wenlan every day, signing and drawing circles is also very tiring, the marching division has more decision-making power in daily affairs, it is much better than reporting everything to the center." ”

Wang Yong thought for a while and bowed: "Since Mr. said so, there must be something to order?" ”

"That's right!" Li Shenming said: "There is something, the three of us have discussed it, and we have all signed it, this matter is not easy for adults to do for a while, so we will do it for him." ”

……

When Tangma passed through Qingcheng, Xi Lingse saw it very clearly, after all, the residence arranged for him was not far from the original palace complex, and the crowds and movements of the people who entered and exited the palace gate every day could not hide from him.

Every day, there are special people to inquire about the news for Xi Lingse, of course, Xi Lingse is most concerned about the news of Zhang Han and Omu Buhong.

A slave said to Xi Lingse: "Sure enough, it's news from Mobei, saying that it is an oath to kill the white horse." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and everyone had a glimmer of hope, if the Mongolian tribes were not satisfied, and then encouraged some tribes who supported Xi Lingse to make a noise, it is very likely that Ombuhong would not be able to succeed to the throne smoothly, and then Xi Lingse would have a chance to return to the throne.

As a result, Mobei surrendered like this!

Xi Lingse's expression was very ugly, and he felt that the last chance was about to slip away from his hand.

"Jinong," said one of his confidants, "we can't sit still like this. ”

Another said: "You still have to go back to your station and prepare for battle!" ”

There are not many people who support these two people, and the strength of the entire tribe of Yi Tumut is not the opponent of Yusheng, let alone Xi Lingse himself?

"None of what you're talking about is the solution." Xi Lingse gritted his teeth and said, "Please come over to Batu Taiji, I have something important to discuss with them." ”
