Chapter 380 Mao Wenlong is ready to take risks

The water surface of Taiye Pool was still rippling. The fishing rod in Yang Jie's hand finally moved. The float was under the water from time to time. Yang Jie was delighted to see it and said, "A fish finally took the bait."

After saying that, he pulled the fishing rod and felt that the end of the silk thread was a little heavy. He knew that the fish had bitten it. When he pulled the silk thread, a silver fish rushed out of the water. Yang Jie stretched out his hand and took the silk thread. He lifted it up and saw a fish about two or three inches long.

While taking the fish off the hook, Yang Jie smiled and said, "Yiguan, I am lucky today. After fishing for a while, the fish took the hook. It's much better than the luck of the previous few days. Haha, it may still be your luck..."

Zheng Zhilong was interpreting countless words that the emperor seemed to say casually. Could it be that the emperor said that I am me? I used a fish to describe me? I said that I caught a fish? If I were that fish, it would be too small, why is it only two or three inches long? It would have to be more than one foot.

Zheng Zhilong was thinking about it all, and Yang Jingwei said again: "One official! When I arrived in the capital, I visited those places? And those places were still not there?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, Caomin followed Lord Lin to Liuli Street, went to see Danei Zao, went to the bedding yard, and visited Xinjun. As for where there are still places to go, Caomin didn't know..." Zheng Zhilong and Lin Qiong were led to visit these places.

"Oh, that's it! Then you go on a tour. After the tour, I will talk to you again..." Yang Jie said while throwing the fish into the fish basket.

"The people of the grass follow the order." Zheng Zhilong replied.

"Oh, by the way, I'm a vocal official! Since you have done a hot Dutch business and know the Dutch well, then write down everything you know about the Dutch, including the Nanyang, including the Dutch organizational structure, language, customs, habits, warships, artillery, how to fight, how to sail, how to act, etc. Anyway, record everything you know. I'm most interested in overseas style. Haha, remember, be sure to be detailed, some are some, no, and if you are not sure, you have to explain..." Yang Jingai said to Zheng Zhilong with a smile.

Zheng Zhilong was stunned. He was a rough man and could read, which was a great thing. The emperor actually asked him to write a book. Zheng Zhilong widened his eyes and was stunned for a long time before he defended himself: "Your Majesty, Caomin is a rough man and can't write a book at all! This, Caomin is powerless..." Zheng Zhilong felt that he could finally refuse the emperor openly, and probably the emperor would not make things difficult for him.

Yang Jie smiled and said, "It's okay, you can't write. As long as you can tell, you can ask Lin Qi to find a bookstore for you, and you can tell the bookstore for you to write. Just write as quickly as possible. I'm in a hurry to read... Remember, you must not miss what you have seen and what you know. I'm waiting to see the exotic style!" Yang Jie looked like he was eager to get in touch with the outside world.

"This, the people follow the order..." Zheng Zhilong had no choice but to follow the emperor. Since the emperor said that he had made such a contribution, he could only follow the emperor.

Yang Jing smiled and said to Wang Chengen again: "Big partner, tell Lin Qiong a message and ask him to find a bookkeeper to help Zheng Zhilong write books about the Dutch and Nanyang. Remember, don't write books too profoundly. All of them are written in vernacular. Just treat it as writing novels. Don't let me feel troublesome. Just say that I am very interested in exotic customs and want to see the customs and customs in Nanyang. This book has been written, and I can also use them for entertainment when I have nothing to do in my spare time..."

"Abide by the order, Your Majesty, I will do it now." Wang Chengen agreed readily. This is nothing. The emperor stayed in the palace all year round and had never left the capital at the farthest. It would not be an exaggeration to understand the outside world.

"Okay, I will have a good rest after I go back and prepare for the next visit. Haha, don't forget to write a book for me, the faster the better, go, go..." Yang Jing waved his hand and urged Zheng Zhilong to leave.

Zheng Zhilong smiled bitterly and didn't cry. He didn't know whether the emperor was scheming or immature. In short, the contrast between the emperor gave people is too great. The feeling he gave him a while ago was still an unfathomable emperor. Now, he is a handsome young man who is very interested in new affairs.

...

Zheng Zhilong left, while Yang Jie continued to fish.

Wang Chengen walked up to him and said, "Your Majesty, Empress's younger brother, Wen Yao is here to ask for stocks. Your Majesty, is it a gift or not?"

Yang Jie was fishing with all his attention. When Wang Chengen spoke, the fishing rod moved again and the float sank. Yang Jie smiled and took the opportunity to take the fish out of the water. He took it firmly and saw that it was a small fish less than two inches. Yang Jie sighed: "This fish is so small!" After that, Yang Jie took the fish off and threw it into the basket.

Wang Chengen was waiting for the emperor's orders, but heard a very young sentence and was about to ask again. The emperor spoke.

"Big companion! I know this and have promised Wan'er. Look at how much money Wen Yao has received, just give him as much money..." Yang Jing said casually.

"Your Majesty, how much does it cost?" Wang Chengen asked again.

"Oh, how much is the one you gave to Zhang Guoji now?" Yang Jing said casually.

"When you go back to your Majesty, you will give Zhang Guoji one thousand two hundred taels." Wang Chengen agreed.

"Oh, one thousand two hundred taels? That's the price for Wen Yao."

The stock matter has slowly entered the **. While selling stocks, people are buying stocks. The price difference has made many people furious. Chinese people have always had a tradition of chasing the rise. The more people are following the trend, more and more people think it is more cost-effective to exchange money for stocks. No matter what, holding stocks can get a lot of dividends from Liulizhai every year, which is much better than the mold of the silver at home. If someone buys it at a high price, he can also sell it. At the beginning, wasn’t it only 1,000 taels of silver per bill? Now it’s sold for 1,300 taels, and in the blink of an eye it rose by 30%, and a net profit of 300 taels per bill.

"I obey the order, let's do it now." Wang Chengen immediately went to do it when he saw the emperor agreeing.

...

Zhou Wenyao was the younger brother of Empress Zhou. His brother and father were sent by the emperor to Guangxi to buy land, leaving him alone in the capital. Because the queen was favored and gave birth to a child, he was very likely to have a prince, so he lived a comfortable life.

He also knew about Liulizhai's stocks. He also had some stocks in his hands. His sister was afraid that she had no money to spend, so she gave them to him. However, the stocks in his hands had been bought out. In the past few days, someone even urged him. Since Empress Yi'an's father Zhang Guoji could ask Empress Yi'an to get the stocks. Your sister is also the queen and is deeply favored by the emperor, why didn't she ask the emperor for some stocks? She just asked to get it, and once she changed her hands, she could make a lot of money.

Zhou Wenyao was instigated by his group of friends, so he found an opportunity to go to the palace to mention this matter to his sister. So Zhou Wan'er mentioned this matter to Yang Jinguo again. Yang Jinguo thought about it and sold one person anyway, and it didn't matter if two people were selling it. So, Zhou Wenyao also came to sell the stocks.

Zhou Mansion.

As soon as Zhou Wenyao entered the door, a group of friends surrounded him.

"Brother Yao, have you obtained it?"

"Brother Yao, how about it? Have you obtained the stock?"

A group of people immediately gathered up and asked about stocks.

Zhou Wenyao smiled with a very "momentum" and said, "Haha..., how could my brother Yao take action be lost? A hundred new stocks... I got it..." As soon as Zhou Wenyao entered the room, he immediately pulled out the stocks in his sleeve to show his ability.

Everyone took the stocks in a row and found that they were indeed real stocks, and they repeatedly praised Zhou Wenyao for being able and unbearable.

After a while of noise, Zhou Wenyao remembered that it was time to divide the stocks into one penny, and said, "Since this money is the part that everyone has collected, then we will divide the stocks according to the part. I, Zhou Wenyao, take 12,500 taels and I will get ten pieces... Chun Ge'er, this is yours... Cheng Ge'er, this is yours..."

Zhou Wenyao was proud while dividing the stocks. He bought only 1,200 taels per piece of stocks from the emperor, and only 1,250 taels per piece of stocks for his friends. He bought a total of 100 from the emperor, and only 10 of them were his own money. The others were all from his friends. He earned 5,000 taels of hard work from his friends, but he just took the stocks home from the palace. It was so easy to make money. When his friends went to the market to sell those stocks, they could sell 1,300 taels.

, They can earn fifty taels from it, if they sell twenty stocks, they will buy one thousand taels. It is so easy to make money. In the capital, everyone with some tricks, anyone with some energy, and some relationships will start to rush to find people with stocks everywhere, and some people will even rush to harem. Since this stock flows out of the harem, it will definitely be possible to go to the harem again. So, the queen's younger brother, Zhou Wenyao, became a hot commodity, so Zhou Wenyao went to the palace to resell the stocks.

...

Zhenjiang Fort, Liaodong.

Mao Wenlong summoned his generals again and prepared to make the final arrangements.

"There is one thing to call everyone here this time, and I want to talk to everyone." Mao Wenlong said seriously.

"Please give orders to the general." Everyone shouted together.

"This time, 20,000 people came to the Tartars. I am going to follow His Majesty's instructions to drag the Tartars to this Liaodong and prevent them from going west..." Mao Wenlong said here and looked at his generals and their children and grandchildren.

Seeing that everyone was listening to him, I continued: "..., I thought that if this Zhenjiang Fortress wants to attract the Tartars, I must have an attractive target. Otherwise, the Tartars will go back when they arrive in Phoenix City, and see that there is no one around, they will go back, or go to another place. I am afraid that they will not come to Zhenjiang Fortress. If they do not come to Zhenjiang Fortress, there will be 20,000 Tartars. You will not be able to compete with each other. It is likely that they will be defeated again. Therefore, Zhenjiang Fortress needs a target that can attract the Tartars. Therefore, I decided to stay here and wait for the Tartars to attack..."

Before Mao Wenlong could finish his words, the people below started to make a fuss.

"Master, the children will never agree to Master taking risks. How can Master stay in Zhenjiang Fort? Once the Tartars besiege the city, how can the children be willing to fight outside? They will definitely come to rescue them. Isn't the arrangement of Master's general completely disrupted?" A general of Mao Wenlong said loudly. A large part of Mao Wenlong's general is his "sons and grandchildren", which is also a feature of Dongjiang Town.

"Don't argue, listen to me finish my words." Mao Wenlong was dizzy when his cadres were brought to his quarrel.

Everyone calmed down.

"Do you think I am waiting to die in Zhenjiang Fort? No, no, no, you have seen the power of grenades. You have also seen the power of grenades. You have naturally known his power. There are only 20,000 Tartars. I brought four or five thousand infantrymen in Zhenjiang Fort, relying on the city wall and grenades. Do you think that the Tartars are easy to capture? Haha, to be honest, the Tartars are afraid they are dreaming. This time, Your Majesty has prepared a lot of good things for us. There are 40,000 grenades alone, and with these grenades, I can defend Zhenjiang Fort, and there are only 20,000 Tartars. Do you want to capture the city and dream? Do you think so?" Mao Wenlong told everyone about his thoughts.

Mao Wenlong is also a "expert" in war, especially with firearms. He has great experience in fighting. Since the emperor has never had grenades and demonstrated how to fight grenades, he has been very concerned about how to "play" grenades by himself. Since this grenade is so powerful in defending the city, Mao Wenlong is the first to try it. See if this grenade works if it works after the large-scale siege of the Tartars.

However, his subordinates obviously disagreed.

"Master, this is absolutely not allowed. Dongjiang Town is still relying on you. You still have to command all the troops and fight against the Tartars. I really stayed in Zhenjiang Fort and surrounded the Tartars. How should the brothers outside do not receive the general order from the Great Commander? Dajiang Town, from Tieshan to Jinning, there are more than ten attack directions. If the Great Commander is not here, then who should we listen to? Dajiang, isn't this a mess?"

"Yes! Grand Marshal, who will command us without you? Your Majesty asked us to hold the Tartars back. You have arranged for your brothers to attack for ten ways. If you don't take charge of command, how can this be done? Grand Marshal, you must not stay in Zhenjiang Fort. You should come out and find a reliable person to replace you..."

...

Mao Wenlong's generals and their children and grandchildren firmly disagree that Mao Wenlong stayed in Zhenjiang Fort and took risks. The Tartars were already close. Once they knew that Mao Wenlong was in Zhenjiang Fort, they would definitely surround Zhenjiang Fort. The news inside and outside the city would be cut off. If the city was broken, it would be dangerous.

Mao Wenlong didn't care, and said, "Okay, I know everyone's feelings, I understand what you said, but I also have made such a plan with complete consideration. Not to mention anything else, if I was in Zhenjiang Fort, the Tartars would probably come to attack, and he would only have 20,000 people, and there would be four or five thousand people in Dongjiang Town. If he wants to attack, it would be impossible for you to divide the troops. In this way, the other things of your other routes will be easier to deal with. I will attract you to the main force of the Tartars in Zhenjiang Fort. You will take the opportunity to burn their oxen liu outside, kill their old and weak, and steal their cattle and sheep.

I want to see, without the oxen Lu surrounds and cattle and sheep, how can the Tartars survive? Hum, this year, the harvest is not good, and cattle and sheep die a lot. I am attracting the Tartars to you in Zhenjiang Fort. You are burning hard outside, Hum, the sooner the Tartars will naturally retreat. So, my safety is entrusted to whether you are working hard to burn the Tartars. The more you burn, the safer I will be, do you understand?" Mao Wenlong made a decision and decided to take risks and use himself as bait to attract the Tartars' main force, let other people burn the Tartars' encirclements and grab their cattle and sheep.

"Father, this is really not good! You are the backbone of Dongjiang Town. Without you, everyone will be in trouble?"

"Master, it's better not to take risks like this. If we mess up outside, wouldn't that be dangerous?"

Anyway, a group of people did not agree with Mao Wenlong staying in Zhenjiang Fort to attract the main force of the Tartars.

"Oh..., you guys! The decision of this commander will not be changed. Don't worry, the Tartars have no cannons, and they want to rely on people to climb the city wall. I am not afraid. This time, Your Majesty gave me tens of thousands of grenades. I took 40,000 to guard Zhenjiang Fort. If I don't believe it, there will be problems.... Don't say it so unbearable. Even if you haven't pleased me outside, I have prepared four months of food in Zhenjiang Fort, but I don't believe it. The Tartars dare not leave when they are blocked by snow. If that is the case, I will submit to them..." Mao Wenlong and his subordinates began to reason and convince people with reason.

"Master, please don't make things difficult for the children. If something happens to you, we can't afford it. The brothers outside will peel off our skin..." Mao Wenlong's sons began to beg Mao Wenlong.

...

"You group of unpromising people, without me Mao Wenlong, you will not be able to walk? I, Mao Wenlong, are not clay men, and have never seen blood. I, last year, guarding Congyun Island, didn't I come here too? At that time, what's the matter now? I'm here yet. Now, our group of miserable people have grenades given by His Majesty, big neighbourhood, and even Folang cannons. What are you afraid of?" As Mao Wenlong said, tears fell down without any effort.

As soon as Mao Wenlong burst into tears, everyone present also shed tears. Mao Wenlong opened the town of Dongjiang, which was a completely bloody history of the anti-Qing Dynasty. No family in Dongjiang had no blood feud with the Tartars.

It was originally a discussion, but it turned into a tear conference and a cry conference.

Mao Wenlong was sad and said, "Okay, everyone who is unpromising is not allowed to suffer. This time, I, Mao Wenlong, just guard Zhenjiang Fort and hold the Tartars back. You burn more, kill more, and rob more of Tartars outside. I, Mao Wenlong, will be happy. It's worth it. Did you hear it?" Mao Wenlong said, already yelling.

"Master, the last general is willing to lead the troops around Zhenjiang Fort to support the Master, so as not to let the Tartars concentrate on attacking the city..." Ma Teng also cried for a while, but seeing that everyone was very stiff, he proposed an idea.

"Master, I am willing to lead our troops to support the Master..." When everyone heard about it, they all shouted that they would support him around Zhenjiang Fort.

Mao Wenlong thought for a while and said, "Okay, don't argue, let's arrange for someone to help around me. I naturally know what to do. Ma Teng, just take your men and horses around Zhenjiang Fort to support me. Others, they still do their own things. Who dares not be careful and do their best? I will expose his skin..." Mao Wenlong's true nature burst out and he shouted loudly, which was considered as giving this matter.
Chapter completed!
