Chapter 050: Black Eyes See Silver
"The Shenji Camp did not dare to be descendants," Wei Donglai stood up and said, "Once we fight, we will follow the way of the musketeers who dismounted the horses and musketeers outside the Zhou Family Post. The guaranteed Hao Hucheng couldn't even cry."
"Our Jinyiwei..." Xu Yong stood up naturally, but for a moment he couldn't think of any reason to fight against Sanqian Camp and Shenji Camp, and stopped awkwardly.
"Master Xu Qi, you really can't compete with us for this job." Rui Chang shook his head and said, "Mr. Concubine, please give me an order to see if I'm going or Wei Donglai."
"The Shenji Camp can use the cover of the Three Thousand Battalions, and the San Thousand Battalions can use the firepower of the Shenji Camp," Zhou Shixian said with a smile, "The so-called Jiao Buli Meng, Meng Buli Jiao, one of you Meng Liang and the other of Jiao Zan, according to my opinion, you can actually go together."
Going together? The two were surprised and asked in unison: "What do you do?"
"No hurry, I haven't finished it yet." Zhou Shixian said, "The errands you are doing are the most dangerous. I can't favor one or the other. I'll say I favor the Jinyiwei, so I'll send Ruan Ming with you."
"Is Mr. Ruan?"
"Yes, the cart cannot be left empty. You must bring gold and silver that can be paid for me with a discount of 100,000 yuan. Then you will pay it to the Ministry of Revenue."
The cart is gone, and the traces of the ruts will be seen at a glance. Therefore, pressing the car with gold and silver can make the pursuers unable to see that there is no one on the car. This is of course a reason.
But the real intention is to express trust. Giving 100,000 gold and silver into your hands means that I truly regard you as my confidant. I believe you will never bear it.
Ruichang and Wei Donglai can both understand this meaning, but in this way, there will be three leaders in the division of troops. If there is something wrong, who should I listen to?
"Since you are in a dangerous way, you should share weal and woe. If you have any questions, you three will discuss it. If you really can't discuss it, then Wei Shoujie, who is the highest-level, will make the decision. Is it OK?"
It's not impossible. The three of them looked at each other, and even Wei Donglai himself felt that it was a little bit forced.
"Wait," Ni Yuanlu, who had been listening attentively, suddenly spoke, "Mr. Concubine, you just said that the 100,000 gold and silver were to be handed over to the Ministry of Revenue. Do you take this seriously?"
"Of course, there is no false words." Zhou Shi was a little confused and didn't know what Ni Yuanlu wanted to say.
"The Ministry of Revenue is here!" Ni Yuanlu stood up, "Yuan Lu is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and asked Mr. Ruan to hand over the gold and silver here. Yuanlu volunteered to go with Wei Shoujie and General Rui Qian!"
"Mr. Ni, you..." Zhou Shixian scratched his head a little, thinking to himself what a confusing operation you are doing.
"They are both northerners and have never been to Jiangnan. Although Yuanlu is not talented, she only wants to do her best."
In this way, it seems to make some sense, but...
"Mr. Concubine, don't underestimate me. Ni Yuanlu is not a person without any power!" Ni Yuanlu smiled and said, "I have spent all my family wealth and led hundreds of dead soldiers to go to Beijing to serve the king. Have the princess ever remembered?"
Zhou Shixian suddenly realized that this was what he had said, but he almost forgot. Of course, Ni Yuanlu was not just a scholar, but might be a ruthless person.
"When the black eyeball saw the silver, the Grand Minister couldn't help but jump out." Li Banghua said jokingly, but there was no joke in his tone, "Ru Yu, think clearly, once the command is in command, there will be no joke."
"Mr. Meng Weng, please rest assured, I will know naturally." Ni Yuanlu bowed, "I naturally rely on Wei Shou Guardian General Rui Qian for the other two. I always focus on the central coordination of other things, and will never act arbitrarily or make random decisions."
"Um..." Zhou Shixian pondered and turned to look at the two, "Rui Chang, Wei Donglai, what do you say?"
During the Ming Dynasty, the military generals had a low status. Even a seventh-rank civil servant could walk sideways in front of the garrison and the Qian Zong. However, Ni Yuanlu, a second-rank minister, respected them so much in his words, so what else could he say?
"I hope to follow the leader of Lord Ni!" the two said in unison.
Ni Yuanlu's rise up made Zhou Shixian very moved, and it was very appropriate to lead two martial arts with one article, so things were decided.
Everyone discussed together and decided the number of troops to be divided.
It turns out that the three thousand battalions of forty-eight cavalry are still left, and all of them are transferred in.
The Shenji Camp originally had 65 members, but now there are still 60 members left. Wei Donglai led forty people and transferred them into the divisional team.
Ni Yuanlu and Ruan Ming handed over gold and silver, and Zhou Shixian sent the four stewards of Ruan Ming's former chariot management captains to Ni Yuanlu as his escort.
There were nine cars left, of which six were transferred into the divisional team, and there were nearly three hundred horses, which was enough to create the momentum and traces of the complete convoy.
In the Shenji Camp, Zhou Shixian only left twenty comb-rope guns brought by Qi Sizhu as basic firepower.
"Which path should we take? Please tell the prince-consort." Ni Yuanlu, Wei Donglai and Ruichang surrounded the map and waited for Zhou Shixian to speak.
"Starting from this escort agency, you will head south towards Hengshui and take Hao Hucheng's pursuers down in this direction." Zhou Shixian pointed to the route on the map and said, "As long as you pass Hengshui, you can turn to Shandong. You can go any specific route, and it's 800 miles left and right. As long as you enter Nanzhili, everything will be safe. Let's gather in Xuzhou Wei!"
"I understand," several people stared at the map, "How many days is the deadline?"
"Today is March 22nd, and we will arrive in Xuzhou Guard within ten days. No matter who we arrive first, we will wait for three days in Xuzhou."
"May I ask the prince-consort, where are you waiting in Xuzhou?"
"The horse-dream stage left by King Xiang on the top of the Nanshan Mountain in the south of Xuzhou."
Ruichang and Wei Donglai were both confused, only Ni Yuanlu agreed happily. Xuzhou was originally called Pengcheng, the capital of Xiang Yu, the king of Western Chu. The horse theater platform was the place where the king reads horses, which was very easy to find.
The plan was decided, and Zhou Shixian took Wang Chengen to report to Chongzhen in person. The emperor was a little worried when he heard that the number of guards around him decreased, but he still asked him to let go. Everyone hurriedly used lunch and began to organize and distribute supplies and vehicles separately.
After being extremely prepared to stop, Zhou Shixian gave all the officers and soldiers a reward, and then asked the emperor and empress to get on the car. He asked Zhuzi, and Empress Zhou's illness seemed to have worsened a little.
The first one was the convoy where the Holy Driving was, not going directly south, but heading towards the east. The traces of departure were cleaned and erased by the San Thousand Battalions.
There were only three big cars left in the convoy, one emperor, one queen, and one supplies. Li Banghua and Johnson Chan had to ride horses to follow.
"Mr. Concubine, have you noticed that no one in the team that divided the troops south to ask where the Holy Lord was going?" Li Banghua said with emotion, "The people under your command are amazing."
"Is that so? Meng Weng seems to have never asked."
"Haha," Li Banghua laughed, "then I ask now, I don't know how to say it."
"Meng Weng is polite," Zhou Shixian said calmly, "It's nothing more than fireworks in Yangzhou in March."
"Oh, it turns out that I'm going to take the water."
