The soldiers of the expeditionary company quickly understood.

This expeditionary company with a particularly strong military background was built by Zhu Cihong with reference to the colonial company of later generations, and was wholly funded by Zhu Cihong, with 17 flying clipper warships and 17 Fuchuan warships, which transferred military materials to and from the Ming Dynasty, Japan, and Korea for trade, and made great profits.

Qi Yuan just missed a few numbers, and everyone understood why Qi Yuan had to say hello first.

Zhu Cihong contributed a total of one million yuan and occupied all the share capital. Although the new shareholders such as Ma Wu only have 10,000 shares, which is a small shareholder of 1 percent, according to this year's trade, the final dividend profit reached 6,930,0879 taels of silver.

This means that in just a few months, Qi Yuan can get more than six thousand taels of silver.

This is equivalent to Zhu Cihong giving a hen that lays golden eggs!

The exclamation was like a tidal wave, resounding endlessly on the field. Countless cool air gasped into the mouth, making people admire Zhu Cihong's ability to make money. Of course, the most important thing is the keyword: generosity.

Fang Cai Qi Yuan also specially mentioned it. When Zhu Cihong made the forward budget, he expected that the finances would be in trouble after the war, and he had already decided in advance to transfer all of this year's profits to the military's account free of charge.

At that time, no one knew that the Royal Guards would enter Shengjing and receive a huge sum of 30 million taels.

In the audience, when the rest of the people lamented the huge profits and a steady stream of high dividends, Li Dingguo heard the smell other than the smell of business, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Doesn't this mean that the expeditionary company will be able to immigrate and build up troops in Japan, Korea, and even the Ryukyus in the future...... This is like a posture of nation-building. This is a power that is even more powerful than the feudal lord and the prime minister......"

At this time, Zhu Cihong continued: "Backwards. The expeditionary company will not only develop land business in the Ryukyus and foreign countries in Japan. It will go south, to the wider world...... Subjugate! And ladies and gentlemen. The soldiers of the Ming Royal Guards are eligible to buy share capital at a low price. With the foundation of my Daming expedition company, we share weal and woe! ”

"Long live Daming!"

"Your Highness...... Chitose! ”

"His Royal Highness Chitose ......"

……

The cheers converged into an ocean, and the excitement became the most fervent emotion in everyone's hearts.

……

In an alley located in Zhengyang Street and Zhongjie Road in the west of the city, Zhu Cihong slowly walked in, looked at a huge "ancestor" character, and stopped.

This is the mansion of Zu Dashou, who once surrendered and surrendered to the enemy, and after entering the Qing Dynasty, he did not say a word, so naturally he could not get the trust of Dolgon.

Coupled with Wu Sangui's forced surrender, the use value of Zu Dashou also decreased rapidly.

If you go on at this pace. Zu Dashou is also unknown to everyone, and it is a blessing to be able to retire smoothly.

Everything was reversed after Shengjing was breached.

Zu Dashou, who helped Choi Yingxian in the rebellion against the North Korean army, was favored by Zhu Cihong, and this time Zhu Cihong came to Zu Dashou's mansion to meet him to attach importance to this veteran.

Zu Dashou entered the senior officer sequence in the first year of Chongzhen, and was promoted to the forward chief officer stationed in Jinzhou because of Ning Yuan's great victory. Although the old leader Yuan Chonghuan was suspected of betraying the country and beheaded because of the defense of Beijing, Zu Dashou still did a good job in Jinzhou, western Liaoning.

As a realist, Zhu Cihong can understand Zu Dashou's self-reliance when the imperial court's food and salary are not complete. The Guanning army set up caravans on its own to trade with the Mongols, and constantly strengthened the issue of self-reliance. In Zhu Cihong's view, it is not so much that Zu Dashou is ambitious. It's more like reality forced it.

The most important thing is the battle deeds of Zu Dashou, and Ning Yuan won't say much about the victory.

The battle of the Daling River and the deception of the bombs and food are a concentrated embodiment of the complexity of human nature.

In July of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Zu Dashou was ordered to build a city on the Daling River to defend Jinzhou, and he repaired it for less than half a month. Before the city wall was completed, the army of Huang Taiji came to the city and surrounded the city of Dalinghe. Zu Dashou had no choice but to close the city gates. Rush to the battle. Not long after, Daling River was besieged due to lack of troops and food. Although the Ming army rescued four times. but was defeated by the Qing army one by one.

Three months later, Zu Dashou killed He Kegang, who would rather die than surrender. The gates of the city were opened, and the people were led to the golden camp. Huang Taiji and Dai Shan, Mang Gurtai and all the ministers of Beile solemnly welcomed Zu Dashou and his party together. After the two sides ascended the altar and swore to sacrifice to the sky, the oath to sacrifice to the heavens, and the emperor Taiji entered the big tent with the ancestral birthday hand to set up a banquet to celebrate the ancestral birthday.

After surrendering, Zu Dashou suggested to Huang Taiji: his wife and children are in Jinzhou City, and while Jinzhou does not know that he has surrendered, he is willing to take a group of soldiers and horses to Jinzhou, and take Jinzhou City as an internal response in the city. Huang Taiji agreed to let Zu Dashou go to Jinzhou City.

The reversal is that as soon as Zu Dashou returned to Jinzhou City, he organized defenses to resist the Qing army.

In this way, Zu Dashou returned to the Ming camp.

It's a pity that it didn't take long for the Ming Dynasty to fall into war again. In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji attacked the Ming Dynasty again and surrounded Songshan. At the beginning of the Songjin War, it was still the rhythm of encircling the points and sending reinforcements. Jinzhou was attacked by Dolgon and Zilharang in turn, and the situation was critical. At this time, Hong Chengchou personally led the eight total soldiers of 130,000 Ming Dynasty to rescue the last main field force.

Under Huang Taiji's personal conquest, the Ming army's grain route was cut off, and Hong Chengchou was besieged on Songshan. Three years later, in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Qing army.

By March of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Jinzhou had fallen into isolation for a whole year. After running out of ammunition and food, the city of Jinzhou once again fell into a situation of killing people and eating people to persist in the war. Its tragedy is comparable to the Tang Dynasty Zhang patrolling Suiyang. You must know that even in the Battle of Huaiyang, the Tang Army only held it for ten months.

It is a pity that Zhang Xun fought 400 battles before and after, killing 120,000 enemies, and Zu Dashou faced the Qing army far more powerful than the rebels of the Tang Dynasty. After learning of the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Songjin, the weak Guanning army had to surrender again after holding out for a year due to lack of food and soldiers.

This time, Zu Dashou no longer had a chance to surrender.

Because, the loss of the Songjin War was the last main force of the Ming Dynasty. Da Ming is already like a lamb to be slaughtered, losing all his sheepdogs.

The surrender ending, which was different from Zhang Xun's complete victory, made others talk about Zu Dashou greatly.

The opinions of the Military Aircraft Department and the cabinet on this Wu Sangui's uncle are very complicated. Some despise his two surrenders, but others appreciate Zu Dashou's persistence.

Zhu Cihong prefers the latter. admired the former leader of the Guanning Army.

Although the Guanning army gradually became a warlord, Zu Dashou's experience of surrendering to the Qing army and returning to the Ming Dynasty still made him look down on Zu Dashou.

Several battles for the defense of Jinzhou. Zu Dashou surrendered only after running out of ammunition and food.

Sin is unforgivable, and its affection is pitiful.

Counting this time, he helped to instigate the rebellion of the Korean army and contributed to the Battle of Shenyang. Naturally, Zhu Cihong didn't mind pulling this veteran.

On November 1 of the sixteenth year of the reorganization, Zhu Cihong saw Zu Dashou who led the whole army to greet him from afar in front of Zu Dashou's mansion.

This veteran has been in the military for twenty or thirty years, and he is still strong, standing like a clock, with clear eyes and powerful movements.

Zhu Cihong walked over with a smile and looked at the veteran.

Zu Dashou paid a big salute: "The sinner ancestor Dashou, meet His Royal Highness the crown prince Chitose!" ”

"General Zu is exempt. I've already heard about you. The surrender of the Battle of Jinzhou can be regarded as being forced to be helpless. Although he has always despised the descendants, however, my Ming soldiers are also mortals in the flesh, and everyone has parents, wives and children. Having fulfilled all the combat obligations, survival is instinctive, and its feelings are pitiful. Zhu Cihong helped Zu Dashou and said: "Cui Yingxian's side, the old general's deeds are known to the palace. ”

Hearing the second half, Zu Dashou suddenly felt relieved: "This is the duty that the Ming soldiers should do!" ”

See here. Zhu Cihong slowly bowed his head and entered with a smile with Zu Dashou.

The accompanying officials of the Military Aircraft Department announced the military exploits of Zu Dashou, and Zhu Cihong waited for the ceremony to be finished and entered Zu Dashou's study. There, a map of Liaodong is drawn, and the paper is frizzy. There are stains, but a few traces of repair can be seen that the owner is very careful.

Look at the map on the wall. Zhu Cihong was slightly engrossed.

"Lao Chen has been in the Liaodi army for decades, but in the end, he still can't protect the people of Liaoxi. Since being in Shenyang. There are few things left by the old ministers, and only this battle map is easy to carry, so I often look at it and leave a thought. Zu Dashou sighed: "It's a pity that Liaoxi can't go back now." ”

The intelligence from the front has actually arrived, and the hot air balloon has transmitted the news of Zhu Cihong's victory over Shengjing.

The entire Shengjing was wiped out, and all the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods had to send the news back to their masters, and naturally, no matter how strong Dolgon was, he couldn't block the news.

The siege of Jingshi was lifted, and Dolgon's army returned to help.

It's a pity that Chen Yongfu, the only fighting force in the country, was also disabled, and the rest of the army can pick up the scraps and burn cold, and it is nonsense to pursue and hit Dolgon.

Therefore, under the condition that the main force of Dolgon was not lost, the first line from Shanhaiguan in western Liaoning to Jinzhou could not be picked up in any case.

Without Guan Ningjun, Zu Dashou is just a lonely veteran with only dozens of veterans.

Zhu Cihong said: "Liaoxi, my Ming army will go back one day." The first battle of Shenyang is over, what does General Zu think about this battle? ”

"Directly smashing the Yellow Dragon can be called the first victory in a century, even if it has gone through a hundred battles in the history books, it is also a first-class surprise victory. If we talk about the situation in Liaodi, it is like a turning point, and the Ming Dynasty reversed the offensive from the declining momentum, which began. Speaking of military strategy, Zu Dashou seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and suddenly became excited: "Wai Wei to save Zhao to this extent has already hollowed out Jiannu's heart, so far." The position of the Jingshi is not mentioned, and the restoration of Liao is also promising. As His Royal Highness's strategic considerations are general, from defense to offense, this is the greatest value of the Shenyang Campaign! ”

Zhu Cihong bowed: "Jiang is still old and spicy." ”

"In the past, when I attacked Jiannu in the Ming Dynasty, I used the land of Ningjin in western Liaoning as the fulcrum, and used the fortress to recover the lost land in eastern Liaodong bit by bit. When Master Sun was there, the Battle of the Daling River was like this. It's a pity that Jiannu later annexed Mongolia, and the entire territory of Gyeonggi was pointed out by the Jiannu soldiers, who broke through the Great Wall several times, and no longer needed a tendon to break through from the land of Ningjin to hit the ironclad defense line one by one. Therefore, I will stick to it next year and lose it every year. This is the reason for the lack of offensive power. ”

"It is said that in the vision of Master Sun, it is a strategic position to encroach on the lost land step by step with the fortress, which is very suitable for the national conditions. However, successive dynasties competed with each other, and internal friction was serious. Donglin and the eunuchs, you come and go, decent and villainous...... cough cough ......" Zu Dashou suddenly remembered something, coughed for a while, and saw that Zhu Cihong had no mustard, and his heart was greatly relieved. Since entering Shenyang, he has also had a much bigger mouth, and accidentally criticized the political situation, which is a G-spot that few generals dare to touch, thinking of this, Zu Dashou hurriedly said: "In short, under the defensive position every year, the court is overwhelmed, and after being robbed by Jiannu again and again, he finally lost serious blood, and finally ...... Fall into the field now. ”

Zhu Cihong smiled and said nothing, not impressed.

"But! After the first war in Shengjing, it was too different! This is not just that His Highness defeated countless Qing troops in successive battles, cut off thousands of heads, and laid a great prestige. Let half of Liaodong recover. Speaking of this, Zu Dashou's eyes suddenly sharpened, and his eyes shone brightly, as if he was eighteen years younger: "More importantly, with this battle, my Daming finally has the power to directly threaten the hinterland of Jiannu!" Coming from the east of North Korea to revive the old story of Mao Wenlong, this is really timely and critical! ”

"From now on, Jiannu will not dare to easily attack my Ming hinterland from the west. It's a pity that Mao Wenlong's death is a pity......" Zhu Cihong sighed lightly, Mao Wenlong's foundation was excellent, but unfortunately, he ran into Yuan Chonghuan, who wanted to grasp the strategic dominance.

"Your Highness is wise!" Zu Dashou continued: "This means that the battlefield has shifted from the west to the east, and even to the hinterland of Jiannu. Each battle damaged the fields and population under the rule of Jiannu. As long as there are a few more wars, the population that can be supported by Jiannu will decline, and the food shortage will sweep through this puppet country shrouded in war. ”

"Good, good!" Zhu Cihong looked at Zu Dashou, his eyes lit up: "General Zu is worthy of being a battlefield general." It would be a pity if he could only die of old age in the end. ”

"But...... The last general has been surrendered, and I am afraid that he will not be able to serve His Highness. "Zu Dashou understands where his fatal point is. Guan Ningjun actually didn't wait for Zhu Cihong to see, this warlord prototype was seriously harmful, and Zhu Cihong definitely couldn't stand it.

Moreover, in Zu Dashou's view, his Guanning army was gone, and he completely surrendered to the Qing army. Zu Dashou continued to stay, and he could only make efforts to rebel against Wu Sangui. But is that the life he wants?

Naturally not, what he wants is Jin Ge Iron Horse.

What's more, with the kind of strict discipline and leniency of the Daming officials, I am afraid that he will not let go of Zu Dashou, a veteran who has twice surrendered and lost his army.

Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "In China, it is indeed difficult to stay. But...... This great mountain and river, the world is so big, is it possible that there is no place where General Zu made meritorious contributions and was crowned a marquis? ”

There was a round of high-five, and the accompanying midshipman of the military aircraft department hung up a pair of East Asian charts.

"Here, a new world, waiting for me to conquer!" Zhu Cihong's voice was clear and deafening, which made Zu Dashou's heart surging in vain.
