Chapter 124 Two thousand versus two thousand, the advantage is mine, Zhu Yuanzhang is stupid!! (Please subscribe!!)
hiss--
Zhu Yuanzhang gasped.
"You actually made 66 yuan by contracting this?"
"Is this money really so easy to make?"
Faced with Zhu Yuanzhang's doubts, Zhu Di explained with a smile: "Father, to tell you the truth, when the fourth brother-in-law asked me to take over at this time, I was a little reluctant. Who am I, Zhu Di? That is the son of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty. From now on, He wants to be a general and gallop on the battlefield, how can he stay in a small place like Yong'an Mansion and work as a thug!"
"That's a good thing. He does look like Zhu Yuanzhang's son." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, but his face turned dark immediately, "But you finally agreed! You have no spine!"
"Father, you can't say that." Zhu Di continued to explain: "Although as you said, I spent money to become the fourth brother-in-law's lackey at the beginning, but after the Black Tiger Cliff bandits were wiped out, things completely changed! "
"First of all, in that battle, the three thousand bandits of Heihuya were wiped out. Each bandit was rewarded with 100 taels of silver, which is 30 taels. The wealth that the bandits of Heihuya accumulated was more than 50 taels. In the end, they obtained a total of nearly [-] taels. Wanliang!"
"Of course, more than half of this will be distributed to the brothers below, but I also have almost 20 in the account, and it only took half a day to destroy Black Tiger Cliff, which means that I earned 20 taels of silver in half a day. Just get your money back.”
Hearing what Zhu Di said, Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Shanchang looked at each other, their eyes full of disbelief.
"His Royal Highness King Yan, although this veteran is not a military general, he has fought with His Majesty on the battlefield, and has also presided over the suppression of bandits. Those bandits are cunning and cunning people. It is no longer easy to defeat them. You first have to find the lair of these bandits, and actually you have to be able to annihilate them all."
Li Shanchang shook his head and said.
"Yes, five thousand people wiped out three thousand bandits. We heard about this when we were in the capital, but we have doubts about the authenticity of this matter!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were filled with suspicion.
"Di'er, there are no outsiders here, you have to tell us the truth." Queen Ma also said.
After hearing these words, Zhu Di quit immediately. This was obviously because he didn't believe in himself.
"Father, mother, Korean father-in-law, everything I said is true!"
"Don't underestimate the five thousand people under my command, and don't underestimate me. The calm and peaceful situation in Yong'an Mansion during this period is all due to our Wagner mercenaries!"
"I know you won't believe it if you just listen to what I say." Zhu Di rolled his eyes, "It just so happens that in addition to escorting the caravan on the county road today, we also have the task of exterminating bandits."
"Whether what I say is true or not, you will find out later! Do you dare to follow me?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he nodded immediately, "Okay! Then we will follow you to see how powerful the so-called militia and mercenaries are!"
"But don't brag just for the sake of bragging. You will be beaten to a pulp by bandits later, and you will be laughed at by then."
Zhu Yuanzhang said rather disdainfully.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe it even if he told the truth.
"Okay." Zhu Di nodded, "Let's set off now."
As a result, everyone temporarily decided to follow Zhu Di to suppress the bandits.
soon.
Zhu Di arrived at his destination with two thousand mercenaries.
"Father, up ahead is Guilang Mountain. According to the information I got, there is a group of mountain bandits entrenched on Guilang Mountain. The leader is He Tu. Their combat power is worse than that of Song Shui in Black Tiger Cliff, but they are also entrenched in Yong'an Mansion. There are 2000 bandits in the west!"
Zhu Di introduced.
"Your Highness King Yan, why are you so sure, and where did the information come from?" Li Shanchang asked: "Also, since there are two thousand bandits in Guilang Mountain, you only have 2000 people, so you won't use them just because you think about it. Can 2000 people take down these two thousand bandits?"
Li Shanchang was like Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth substitute, saying everything Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to say.
Zhu Yuanzhang added: "When we destroyed Black Tiger Cliff, you were five thousand against three thousand. Now you are two thousand against two thousand. This Ghost Wolf Mountain is almost the same as a city wall. Don't break your teeth!"
Zhu Di smiled confidently, "This means that I don't have to worry about my father anymore. My son is well aware of this matter."
"Brothers, are you ready?"
"Ready!" the two thousand people behind them shouted loudly.
"Okay, let's get started!" Zhu Di pulled out the sword from his waist, "Charge!"
Then two thousand people held weapons in hand and began to move towards Ghost Wolf Mountain little by little.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head helplessly.
"His Royal Highness, Prince Yan, and his subordinates are all well-trained in their movements. However, if they attack openly like this, once the bandits from Guilang Mountain follow the terrain and attack, they will suffer a big loss!"
Li Shanchang muttered.
"What's the use of being uniform? It's just rushing forward to die!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "Jiang Wei."
"master."
"You and the Jin Yiwei should be smarter. If King Yan's men are defeated, remember to protect us and leave."
"Yes."
Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang and others did not believe that Zhu Di could defeat the Guilang Mountain bandits with only 2000 men.
As the mercenaries continued to advance into Guilang Mountain, the bandits could no longer hold back and emerged from the forest.
"Brothers, two thousand versus two thousand, I have the advantage. Kill these dog officials!"
Bandits kept coming out of the forest, and they were so dark that they came from above to kill them.
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang and others felt that the mercenaries would be defeated next.
The mercenaries who were marching stopped and took a defensive posture.
But behind the mercenaries, ten red cannons appeared!
Zhu Di's face showed a smile of success, "Finally, when you show up, it's time to hunt!"
"fire!"
Light the fuse, sizzle——
The cannonball shot out from the muzzle, bang bang——
Boom!
Boom!
In an instant, Ghost Wolf Mountain turned into a sea of fire.
There was a constant roar, and broken limbs were flying in the air.
By chance, a severed arm fell into Li Shanchang's arms. Li Shanchang was so frightened that he almost fainted on the spot.
By the time Zhu Yuanzhang and others reacted, the entire Ghost Wolf Mountain had been riddled with holes in the bombing.
As for the two thousand bandits, it is estimated that they have already gone to the underworld to report.
The power of this red cannon seems to have become stronger!
Although Zhu Yuanzhang had already experienced the power of the red cannon at the Jieshi County Shipyard.
But the sight of ten cannons firing together and bombing incessantly like today still deeply shocked him.
Zhu Di and the mercenaries have long been accustomed to it.
"charge!"
Zhu Di waved the sword in his hand again, and the mercenaries who had stopped advancing began to advance again.
Entering the bombing area, the bandits were dead and wounded. They had been frightened by the red cannons. When they saw the mercenaries coming, they immediately threw away their helmets and armor, knelt down and begged for surrender.
About a quarter of an hour passed.
Two thousand mercenaries completed the annihilation and occupation of the bandits in Ghost Wolf Mountain, but the mercenaries remained unscathed.
Not that no one was injured. When we were rushing up the mountain, a few guys rushed too fast and sprained their feet.
see this scene.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shanchang and others had shock in their eyes.
They suddenly thought of a saying, an army with neat formations does not necessarily have high combat effectiveness, but an army with high combat effectiveness must have an orderly formation.
Moreover, after occupying Ghost Wolf Mountain, these mercenaries looked calm and cleaned the battlefield in an orderly manner. Coupled with the power of the red cannon, this is definitely a terrifying army! Phew - Zhu Yuanzhang exhaled a breath and looked at Li Shanchang, "What do you think of this mercenary now?"
"I think this mercenary is as powerful as the Shenji Battalion, and they have an overwhelming advantage in artillery!" Li Shanchang gave his most rational and restrained opinion.
"Haha, it's still the same old rules. The dead are counted and registered, the bodies are buried on the spot, the still alive are taken back to the construction site and sold to the construction site, and the others are plundered by me!"
Zhu Di said with a smile.
In fact, even if Zhu Di didn't say anything, these mercenaries would do it.
It took less than half an hour to fight, but two hours to clean up the battlefield.
After doing this, Zhu Di came to Zhu Yuanzhang with his head held high.
"Father, how about it? Now you believe me!"
After finishing speaking, Zhu Di looked at it again and said: "This bandit from Guilang Mountain is extremely rich. A total of 15 taels of silver were found!"
"This time we eliminated two thousand bandits, and another 20!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched.
Really make money!
If it weren't for his status as emperor, he would have taken over the contract.
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang still wanted to have some face. If he really came to work in Yong'an Mansion in person, he would have made money, but he would probably lose his face by then.
"Go to Funing County."
After saying these words, Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the carriage. He was too lazy to look at Zhu Di's triumphant face.
……
The convoy of Zhu Yuanzhang and others arrived at Funing County under the escort of Zhu Di's mercenaries.
As the administrative seat of Yong'an Prefecture, the construction of Funing County is the best in the entire Yong'an Prefecture.
Li Shanchang looked at the tall and solid city wall, and Ye couldn't help but sigh, "This doesn't look like a state capital, but more like a prosperous place like Peking and Beijing. It's even newer than the first two! This has to be How much did it cost!”
"To capture this city, it will be no less difficult than when we attacked the capital."
As the last prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, Li Shanchang knew very well how much effort it took to build such a prosperous town!And money will do!
Just when everyone was focusing on the prosperity of Funing County, Zhu Di directly dismissed the mercenaries. The mercenaries took off their heavy armor and left carrying their large "farming tools".
"You just let people go like this?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked when he saw this.
"Yes, is there any problem?" Zhu Di didn't feel anything was wrong at all.
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "Aren't you afraid that they will cause trouble and harm the people?"
Zhu Di was even more stunned, "Father, they are ordinary people! Except for missions and training, they all go home."
"Didn't I leave their armor behind?"
"What about the weapons? The weapons in their hands look very sharp. What should we do if we hurt someone or have an accident?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"Father, you see clearly, those hatchets, sickles, and harpoons are all farm tools, and they can be used when you take them home. There is no need to collect them!" Zhu Di explained.
"Uh..." Zhu Yuanzhang was choked by Zhu Di's words again and was speechless.
But when I think about it carefully, I feel that what Zhu Di said makes some sense.
These mercenaries are ordinary people, and it is completely logical to bring some farm tools home! After talking for a long time, I ended up worrying in vain.
Zhu Yuanzhang, a little embarrassed, walked directly into Funing County.
Zhu Yuanzhang had been here several times and was relatively calm.
Li Shanchang, on the other hand, was completely different, with an expression of surprise and excitement!
Clean and tidy streets, two-wheelers, buses, nine-story hotels... Li Shanchang will sigh every time he sees one.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang feel a little annoyed, "Li Shanchang, pay attention to your image."
"Yes, sir."
Li Shanchang nodded repeatedly.
"Father, are you going to stay in a restaurant first this time? Or are you going to the government office to meet your fourth brother-in-law first?"
Zhu Di asked.
"Go directly to the government office."
Zhu Yuanzhang said without hesitation.
During this period, he had accumulated a lot of questions and wanted to get answers from Ouyang Lun.
"Good Le!"
Zhu Di nodded and continued: "Father, Funing County is now building a clean and civilized county. No foreign carriages are allowed to enter the city. We can just go in and take a two-wheeler or a public car."
"You mean to park the carriage at the city gate, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.
"Yes."
Ouyang Lun nodded.
In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang compromised and parked all the carriages in the temporary parking lot at the city gate, and then a group of people got on the bus and arrived at the gate of the government office.
"Captain Horse!"
The officer on duty saw Zhu Di and immediately greeted him warmly.
"Two brothers, these are my father and mother, you know them too. They are here to see Mr. Ouyang."
Zhu Di introduced.
"We know each other. Boss Ma, Mrs. Ma, please come in!"
The Yamen servant naturally knew Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, it's not easy! After spending several thousand taels of silver, I finally felt familiar here.
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang and others were about to enter, Li Shanchang was stopped.
The yamen servant glanced at Li Shanchang suspiciously, "Old gentleman, this seems to be your first time here."
"Little brother, you have good taste. This is indeed my first time here." Li Shan said with a smile.
"Since this is my first time here..." The officer stretched out his hand, "The entry fee is three thousand!"
Um! ?
Li Shanchang was stunned at that time. He openly asked for bribes in front of the emperor. You are seeking death.
however……
Li Shanchang glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, but the latter looked calm, not looking like he was going to be angry at all.
How is this going?Doesn’t His Majesty hate corruption and extortion of bribes deeply? I did this all in front of him, but he didn't feel angry at all.
His expression was calm and steady. He had only left the court for a few years, and His Majesty's efforts in cultivating his character were becoming more and more unfathomable.
Li Shanchang had no idea that Zhu Yuanzhang had already paid the entry fee, otherwise he would have been even more shocked.
"You can give me the money, but I need a receipt!"
Li Shan said long.
"Of course there is no problem. The receipt will be stamped with the official seal for you." The official said happily.
"Xiao Cui, give him money!"
Li Shanchang smiled slightly.
With the receipt, there is evidence. I will give it to Your Majesty later. None of these government officials can escape! (End of this chapter)
