Chapter Thirty-Nine: Clearing the Walls

Firm and clear the wall

After a while, the dusty Xu Wen rushed over.

Zhu Cihong looked at the young man who was arguing with him in the Liuyi Residence of the National Eunuch, and a trace of surprise crossed his eyes.

When Jingshi first saw Xu Wen, Zhu Cihong, a young boy who was actually younger, used a lot of perseverance to restrain himself from getting angry.

At that time, Xu Wen was sharp, and his words were sharp and heart-wrenching.

But now Xu Wen may be dusty because of his tiredness, so he has quietly become more restrained and heavy. This means that Xu Wen has become more mature.

Perhaps, this is the rapid growth of a talent after really feeling what is happening in this land and really changing this country with his own efforts.

Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong was in a good mood.

This means that on the road of resisting the Qing Dynasty, there are more and more outstanding people to help: "Xu Junshi, I heard that you presided over this batch of old soldiers' armor to be exchanged for Wubao villages in the countryside?" ”

"It's learning...... Subordinates are doing it. "Goodbye Zhu Cihong, Xu Wen also feels different. Once, he had the reputation of being a disciple of Mr. Shi Zhai, and he wanted to find Zhu Cihong to see him and get back his teacher's reputation. But after Guozijian gave a speech, he was quietly shaken by Zhu Cihong's speech. In the end, Xu Wen decided to follow Zhu Cihong to judge with his own eyes with a kind of confusion, an expectation, and an inaccurate mind.

At the beginning, Xu Wen, who was unwilling and suspicious, did not believe that the prince would really sacrifice his life to fight against the Qing army. He has seen too many big people, with benevolence, righteousness, and propriety on their heads, and men and women thieves and prostitutes behind their backs. He said that he was righteous and awe-inspiring, but what he actually did was to send you to death. Glorify the deeds I have carried on my back.

Especially when Zhang Biyuan's news reached his ears, Xu Wen in Texas was intense. and with the support of the governor of Texas, he planned to make a big fuss.

Outcome......

Zhu Cihong brought the most simple explanation of the First World War in Hejian.

And. Zhu Cihong also took away more than 1,000 people from Hejian Mansion. These people who are determined to follow Zhu Cihong to start a new life come from a variety of sources. There are simple old farmers, diligent craftsmen, maverick readers, and broken storytellers. But most of them were because Zhu Cihong led the army to sacrifice his life to save him, and he had a heart to repay the prince with a shot.

With these people as witnesses, they were taken by the instructors of the military academy to visit the funerals of the fallen soldiers of the Guards Battalion. Xu Wen only felt extremely guilty, and he couldn't wait to dig out his heart and liver to prove that he had no intention of slandering Zhongliang.

It is said that for Xu Wen, a person who intends to destroy the military academy in tandem. Zhu Cihong will deal with it. If this is the case, Xu Wen is looking forward to it even more, and it will be a little better.

But Zhu Cihong was broad-minded and did not look down on such a small grudge, but was tolerant and generous in announcing that he would not blame the past. In this way, Xu Wen only felt more guilty.

In this way, Xu Wen became the most active learner in the military academy and the hardest working person after serving as a military adviser in the Military Affairs Department.

This time, Xu Wen, who received the task of exchanging old ordnance, slept in spite of the wind. Rushed to Linqing, Jinan, and Shandong all over the Wubao villages.

Now, Xu Wen, who came back, stood tall and finally felt that he could withstand Zhu Cihong's tolerance.

Zhu Cihong Wenyan let Xu Wen enter the city tower and found a place to shelter from the wind. Then let Xu Wen sit down, and a group of people gathered around the stove and said: "Let's talk about it, how is the good son of our Military Affairs Department doing this time." Where did it go. How many such villages are there in the left area? Are the landlords of Wubao Village still talking? Can the armor be sold smoothly? How much did it sell? Let's talk about your achievements! ”

Listening to Zhu Cihong's greetings that made people feel like a spring breeze, Xu Wen held back his excitement. Said: "Your Highness! Everything's coming up roses! There are seventy-six Wubao villages near the left of Linqing Prefecture, and there are thirty-nine Wubao villages in Jinan Prefecture a little less. These are a few places. All of them were sold into old-style armor. Not only that, but his subordinates also went to the Daimyo Mansion and Guangping Mansion in person, and sent people to Wubao villages in Zhending Mansion and other places to sell old-style armor. In this world, armor and horses are so important. Wubao villages are mostly defensive, and horses can be ignored for a while, but the lack of armor is sometimes enough to affect a battle. Therefore, it is easy for the subordinates to talk wherever they go this time, and those people have treated their subordinates as guests! ”

Speaking of this, Si Qi and Yang Wenyue couldn't help laughing. Zhu Cihong was worried that the armor would fall to ashes, but in fact, more people wanted a pair of armor. Xu Wen's errand is hard and dangerous, but if you want to do it, it is actually someone else's request.

"The only trouble is that there are a lot of armor in our army that need to be replaced. So it's not good for subordinates to sell them all. In addition, some of the owners of self-supporting villages almost ignore the king's law and only recognize their strength, if it weren't for the number of soldiers and armor hidden by their subordinates, so that these village owners have some consideration, I'm afraid it will indeed be a little dangerous. This time, his subordinates sold a total of 37,000 pairs of old armor and even damaged armor in the warehouse, and got a total of 3,959 taels of gold and about 190,000 taels of silver. Some of them are still unregistered, and there may be some discrepancies in the final figures. After saying this, Xu Wen held his head high.

When the others heard this, they couldn't help but gasp slightly.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a huge profit when the armor was sold." Yang Wenyue couldn't help but exclaim. The imperial court wanted to raise money and food, and 5,000 taels of silver asked for it.

When Chongzhen was seventeen years old, Chongzhen even gave up his face and borrowed money from the minister in person, but the cabinet minister only gave a few hundred taels of silver to send away. In the end, the eunuch was more benevolent and righteous, and Wang Chengen borrowed 10,000 taels.

But Zhu Cihong sold his armor, but he earned back nearly 400,000 taels of silver in a light way.

"This time, the surname armor and firearms purchased by Qiming City can cost 300,000 taels." Zhu Cihong couldn't help but sigh: "I really can't imagine that arms are so profitable." It seems that the money saved by the gentry is really rich. This can be done for a long time. ”

Si Qi, who was suffering from a shortage of funds, nodded again and again. But Yang Wenyue and Xu Wen changed color one after another.

"Your Highness, this is impossible!" Yang Wenyue took the lead.

Xu Wen also hurriedly spoke: "Those Wubao owners are all people who do not obey the king's law and are lawless. If we continue to sell armor and let them grow, I'm afraid that we will be the ones who will be in trouble! ”

Zhu Cihong shook his head: "There will definitely be lawlessness, but in front of the imperial court and the Tartars, I believe their choice will be very clear." In the face of resisting the Qing Dynasty, we should still fight for all the strength! At worst, it can also allow the Manchu Qing to fold a few more soldiers when they hit the grass valley. Isn't that what is the reason for this? (To be continued.) )
