Chapter 231: Entrusting the Task
After the Emperor of the Apocalypse said, he glanced at the captain on the side, and said: "Put the person down, call that Wu Changchun, and first hold what he wants to write, write it out, and ...... it to the outside world Let's just say that I killed him along with Amin. ”
Li Yongfang was put down, and after only a while, he was tortured to an inhuman form.
He could no longer stand on his legs, so he had to be lifted to a chair.
Na Wu Changchun came in with a flattering smile and wanted to salute.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse ignored him and went out with Zhang Jing and one or two.
But Wu Changchun obviously doesn't care about this, aren't all masters like this? Treat people like him like dogs only.
He has long had the consciousness of being a dog, who is he doing it with or not?
It's just that he knows in his heart that now, he has to work hard, and only by selling his strength can he show his worth.
He has already seen it here, this thousand households, very strange......
How to say it, it seems to be a self-contained system, and they don't seem to report to the higher authorities when they encounter something, which means that Zhang Qianhu is a very special person.
In addition, the Ming Emperor came in person and was so familiar with this place, which can be seen...... This Thousand Households is indeed a little different from other brocade guards.
And the people here are not the same as the spies and horsemen he imagined, and even the lackeys who worked for Jiannu on Jiannu's side.
The people here are very capable, the rules are very strict, and all of them are powerful, but there is one thing, that is, they will not be punished.
The so-called torture of these people is just a slap in the face or a fist to you, and the methods are so crude and primitive that they simply have the name of being a factory guard.
But in this regard, he Wu Changchun can be said to be a dragon and phoenix among people, and he is familiar with such indiscriminate methods.
Maybe...... He used all these thousand households.
He knew very well that the Qianhu surnamed Zhang cherished these captains very much, and generally rarely let them do those indiscriminate things, but how could no one do this kind of thing? Not only do it have to be done by someone, but also by someone with experience.
Wu Changchun knows very well that whether he can live or not depends on what he can pry out of Li Yongfang's mouth.
So, as soon as the Emperor of the Apocalypse and Zhang Jing went out, Wu Changchun showed a terrible smile to Li Yongfang: "Lord Taishan, let's start again, don't rush, take your time, things, first pick up the important thing and say, you can rest assured, it will never harm your life, your life is long, if you don't live for ten years or eight years, I'm a son-in-law, how can I rest assured?" What's more, there is no way to explain to Zhang Qianhu, right? Therefore, in the past ten years and eight years, the good and bad of your life have been on this! Let's explain the things one by one, not to mention the others, even if my mother-in-law has a few hairs, you have to tell me clearly, if not......... Hey hey ......"
The pain that Li Yongfang could feel was all squeezed out by Wu Changchun.
He trembled, and all that came out of his heart was endless despair.
He knew very well that since Wu Changchun said that he could live for ten or eight years, he could really live for ten years and eight years, but in these ten years and eight years...... Only God knows what he suffered.
What's even more ridiculous is that this Wu Changchun is a talent trained by him personally, he not only admired Wu Changchun very much, but also married his daughter to Wu Changchun, and now, all these teaching methods have to be used on himself.
"I said, I'll say it all......" He knew very well that in front of Wu Changchun, all resistance was ineffective, and he trembled and said: "The reason why Amin went to Fushun was because of the affairs of the Korean state, Daikin ...... No, Jiannu attacked Korea, conquered Cheolsan, Jeongju, Anju, Pyongyang, and crossed the Taedong River. The king of Joseon, Yi Liang, fled to Ganghwa Island, and Amin came to discuss with me how to recruit the king of Joseon, Yi Liang, and how to use troops against Mao Wenlong......"
Wu Changchun nodded with satisfaction and asked someone to write them down one by one.
…………
The Emperor of the Apocalypse did not go to find Wei Zhongxian and the others first, but led Zhang Jingyi around the house.
As he walked, he groaned, and then said: "The thousand households are doing very well, from now on, the thousand households will be newly built, all the money and grain, manpower, as much as you want, I will allow as much as you want, as for the money and grain, find the field and ask for it." ”
"In addition, all matters related to the construction of slaves, the Thousand Households in the New City can be disposed of cheaply, without going through the North and South Towns, and if there is any report, it can be submitted to me secretly."
Zhang Jing said with a serious face: "The minister hopes that all the personnel need to be selected by the minister." The minister also plans that the top and bottom of the thousands of households in the new city do not use the original cavalry and captain of the Jinyi Guard, but all of them have been trained by the Donglin Military Academy first, and the minister plans to set up a special operation teaching team in the Donglin Military Academy. ”
"That's right." The Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't want to say anything.
Zhang Jingyi said again: "Deputy Qianhu Deng Jian, taking advantage of the fact that he has nothing to do now, he can temporarily serve as the chief instructor of special operations, after all, he has experience, not only is he familiar with the affairs of the factory guard, but also has gained a lot of experience this time." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a smile: "Deng Jian, I used to hear a lot of foolish things about him, but when I saw him today, I found that the rumors were really untrue. ”
Zhang Jingyi said silently in her heart, that is because you don't know how powerful my second brother is.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse said suddenly: "Li Yongfang's affairs are all handled by you, and you must write down the things he explains, but you must not show them." Of course, I want to find someone to settle accounts, but at this time, it is not the time to settle accounts for people, and I cannot shake the army's spirit at this time. ”
Zhang Jing nodded: "The minister naturally knows what is powerful. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse put his hands behind his back, and suddenly thought of something, and said again: "I plan to send a batch of Liao salaries to Liaodong these days, I think it won't be long before the Jiannu people will come to retaliate, and the border towns will be in arrears for a long time, if they owe it again, I am afraid that it will be very unfavorable to the imperial court." ”
Zhang Jing sighed and nodded.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse stopped and looked at Zhang Jingyi with strange eyes: "Oh what, where is my silver, when will it be returned?" ”
Zhang Jingyi was about to suffocate, he thought that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was talking to him about national affairs, why did the style of painting change and become a debt collector?
Feelings say so much, just for this?
Zhang Jingyi said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, the coming day is long, and don't worry, think about it in the long run." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at him with blazing eyes, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, although he had always had a bad premonition......
"Tell me the truth, this silver ...... Where did it go? ”
"This ......" Zhang Jingyi smiled bitterly: "The minister doesn't dare to bully the king, the minister said the truth." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse felt more and more cold, and said as calmly as possible: "You say." ”
Zhang Jing thought for a while and said: "But the minister is afraid to say it, His Majesty is furious, and he wants to punish the minister for the crime of disrespect." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse let out a breath and said, "I am not angry. ”
Zhang Jingyi said honestly: "The minister asked people to take a large amount of silver and went to Xiangshan County, where there are a lot of Franc machine Fanyi, and the minister asked people to ...... At a very low price, a lot of ...... were acquired Dutch stocks. ”
Emperor of the Apocalypse: "......"
Zhang Jingyi patiently explained to the Emperor of the Apocalypse: "Where is Xiangshan County...... In particular, there are a large number of Tibetans in the outer islands, including Spaniards and Portuguese, Dutch, and even Japanese merchants, and even private merchants of the Han Dynasty. Your Majesty...... I think it's clear. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse frowned and said, "You said it more clearly. ”
"Here's the thing......"
Zhang Jing explained at first.
The Dutch East India Company was already experiencing operational difficulties at this time, on the one hand, because a fleet full of cargo had encountered a storm and was completely silent, which can be described as a heavy loss. On the other hand, the Dutch had a monopoly on the trade of the Dutch, but this year, because of the incident of the Japanese kidnapping the Dutch governor, a dispute broke out, and the Japanese chose to ban the sea and completely cut off the trade with the Dutch.
What's even more terrifying is that the Dutch originally coveted the waters off Penghu of the Ming Dynasty and Macao in the area of Xiangshan County occupied by the Portuguese, but a year or two ago, in the Battle of Penghu, the Ming army and naval divisions completely defeated the Dutch fleet.
On the other side, they attacked Macau, which was also routed by the Portuguese.
Under these circumstances, the East India Company, which had a bad year, was even worse, and there were already rumors everywhere that the East India Company was at risk of becoming insolvent.
As soon as the news came out, not only in Europe, but also in Malacca, Ryukyu, and Luzon, even the Japanese merchants who used to buy a little East India Company shares and the private merchants of the Ming Dynasty, almost all of them were frantically selling the shares of the East India Company.
The shares of the East India Company have shrunk sharply, and even more so here, because the people here are more aware of the predicament of the East India Company, there is no room for growth, and there is even a risk that the profits will shrink completely.
Under this sell-off, the shares of the East India Company were only one or two percent of their original market value, and the problem was that everyone was competing for it, but now, no one is willing to buy it.
"You mean, my son, go buy some stock in a trading house?"
Zhang Jing said excitedly: "It's cheap, the minister has given a death order, only buy it at the cheapest price, and don't sell it, but even so, many Japanese merchants, private merchants, as well as Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch merchants are selling like crazy, Your Majesty knows that the cost price of our acquisition is only half ...... of the original market value of the East India Company."
The Emperor of the Apocalypse asked, "Stocks, what is it?" ”
"Your Majesty, this ...... I'll have people fetch things to show your majesty. ”
Saying that, busy people went.
After a while...... So he took a large pile of stuff with countless words written in countless incomprehensible words.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was dumbfounded, and after a long pause, he said, "My 150,000 taels of silver...... You...... Just bought this? ”
"Yes, this is 150,000 taels, of course, the minister also bought it privately."
The Emperor of the Apocalypse's hand holding the stock was trembling.
