Chapter 882 Hong Chengchou needs to be polite first and then fight

(0882)

【Today's third update is delivered】

Fuwang Mansion, by the Wanshou Lake.

In the eyes of outsiders, the governor of the Hu Ben Army was sitting alone in the pavilion beside Wanshou Lake, watching the ripples on the lake surface, taking deep breaths and trying hard to calm down his emotions.

However, some of his actions were still fully demonstrated that the governor seemed a little annoyed. There was no way. He set up a fishing rod here and waited for half an hour, but still no fish took the hook. It was indeed too disrespectful to give the governor a face! He saw a lot of fish swimming around the lake, but he refused to bite the hook, which really made people angry!

If there were three or five beauties and soft words beside each other, perhaps the Governor might not be so easy to get angry. Unfortunately, there was no. Around the Governor, there were those Tiger Ben Army snipers who did not understand the charm. They were indeed not interested in the fishing rods set up by the Governor. In their opinion, if you want to eat fish, you either use a fishing net or explosives. No matter which one, it is much more useful than a fishing rod.

Among them, explosives are the fastest. When a waterproof explosive is wrapped, all the fish within a radius of several meters must be turned up. Using explosives first and then using fishing nets is the most perfect solution. If Zhang Zhun adopts their suggestions, more than half of the fish in Wanshou Lake will be caught in one afternoon.

Even if you don’t use anything, just use a javelin. Veterans all know that the ability of the governor to stab fish is quite powerful. On the turbulent coast of Aoshanwei, you can stab sea fish. On the calm and quiet Wanshou Lake, you can stab a few fish, which is easy to capture? Why use a fishing rod so much trouble? It’s so full.

Of course, they also understood that the Governor's thoughts were not on the fish at all, but on the fun of fishing. When they were so busy, Governor actually took a long time to come to Wanshou Lake to fish. Idiots knew that there must be a deep meaning here. It's just that they did not reach the level of Governor and did not understand the truth.

In fact, fishing is really not Zhang Zhun's hobby. This kind of slow activity is not very suitable for him. However, a senior general in his previous life told him that fishing can effectively calm his thoughts and slowly calm down from tension, which is very beneficial for thinking, so he came here specifically to relax for a long time.

Indeed, the Hu Ben Army conquered Luoyang, killed King Fu, and seized so much wealth. It would be absolutely impossible to say that it was not a little bit of a hothead. The soldiers below were no longer so happy, and they felt as if the Hu Ben Army had seized the world. Then, news of becoming the king and establishing the capital came out, which made the Hu Ben Army soldiers even more excited and even more fanatical.

Even Zhang Zhun felt a little hot-headed. He took Luoyang and got so much money, but he didn't sleep well last night. In a daze, he seemed to see a large amount of golden gold and shiny silver falling from the world, and then turned into large warships, traversing all over the world, invincible. Zheng Zhilong, Dutch, and British all crawled in front of him and begged for mercy!

Suddenly waking up from his dream, Zhang Zhun felt that he seemed to be sleeping on gold and silver ingots, and felt that everything became unrealistic. Thinking that the power of the Hu Ben Army could grow rapidly in the future, his thoughts suddenly became fanatical, and he wanted to convert all his money into combat power immediately.

It was not until lunch that he gradually calmed down. Then he made a decision to go to Wanshou Lake to fish and calm his heart completely. However, the fish in Wanshou Lake seemed not to cooperate very well, and he felt that he was about to get angry again without realizing it. It seems that my buddy is still not suitable for such elegant activities!

"Sir, the property of the Fu Prince's Mansion has been roughly counted."

When he was depressed, Wang Shide quietly walked over from behind, stood beside Zhang Zhun, and whispered to Zhang Zhun.

"speak."

Zhang Zhun said casually.

His eyes were always focused on the lake, holding the javelin in his hand, ready to go. No fish took the bait. All the fish seemed to know that he was a big demon and had been away from him. In anger, he decided to stab the fish. As a result, a fish soon fell into the hands of the governor.

"laugh!"

Zhang Zhun raised the javelin and stabbed it with one shot.

"laugh!"

The lake suddenly turned bloody.

The javelin accurately pierced the fish in the lake. This unlucky fish struggled desperately to break free from the assassination of the javelin. However, the javelin penetrated its body, and there was no chance of breaking free? The more it struggled, the faster it died. Sure enough, after a moment, the fish stabbed was no longer moving.

Zhang Zhun slowly lifted the javelin and found that it was a silver carp weighing six or seven pounds. This amount of silver carp is so common in Wanshou Lake. However, before that, they were all appreciated rather than assassinated. Only the new owner, who was indeed a great disaster, would attack them cruelly.

"Sir, please listen."

Wang Shide opened the account book and read it out one by one.

All the property of the Fuwang Mansion needs to be classified and classified one by one to calculate the approximate number. Why is it a approximate? Because even the most wise accountant cannot accurately calculate how much wealth there is in the Fuwang Mansion.

First, the amount of gold is counted, including pure gold jewelry. As long as it contains gold, it is calculated. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 386,000 taels of gold in the Fu Palace. This number is enough to make countless people stunned.

Among them, it is particularly worth mentioning that the 300,000 taels of gold ingots given to King Fu at one time by Emperor Wanli. All of these gold ingots were forged uniformly, each with fifty taels, totaling six thousand. In the warehouse, there was a full warehouse. When Wang Shide saw these gold ingots, he was indeed shocked. He sweared that he had never seen so much gold since he was a child.

"Thirty-eight thousand taels?"

"so much?"

Zhang Zhun said unexpectedly.

It is said that the Fu Palace has a large amount of wealth, rich in the world, and wealth is as rich as a country. Zhang Zhun has also made enough psychological preparations. However, when he heard this number, he was still very surprised. There is no way, this number is indeed too powerful. If the one who follows this number is silver, Zhang Zhun might not be surprised. However, the two words gold are followed by this number, Zhang Zhun could not calm down.

Calculate based on the exchange of thirteen taels of silver for every two gold, it is five million taels. The most powerful battleship this year is about 100,000 taels of silver. In other words, if these gold is used to make warships, it is fifty super warships. If it is used to create smaller warships, the number may exceed one hundred.

From this perspective, King Fu actually did a lot of good things. He contributed so much property to the Hu Ben Army, which was his biggest good thing. If these gold ingots were taken away by Emperor Chongzhen and used to arm the imperial army, at least a hundred thousand elite troops could be formed. If the Ming Dynasty's government system had not been completely corrupt, all the five million taels of silver would have been used to be practical, Liaodong and Shaanxi would have been completely pacified.

“So many indeed.”

Wang Shide answered affirmatively.

"Where is the silver?"

Zhang Zhun pondered for a moment and asked slowly.

"The silver is about six million taels."

Wang Shide said it casually.

In addition to gold, the big part of the wealth of the Fu Palace is silver. If you want to say that the most valuable precious metal in the Fu Palace may be silver. Looking at the main activity space of the Fu Palace, it would be almost impossible to see silver jewelry without seeing silver jewelry. There are too many silver jewelry and cannot be counted at all. So Wang Shide first counted the pure silver ingots and even put down the broken silver temporarily.

The pure silver ingots that were initially counted were more than 6.7 million taels, and most of the silver ingots were from 5 taels per ingot. They should be earned back when doing daily business. The emperor's rewards have always been gold, and there are very few silver. I have to say that King Fu is indeed very capable of making money!

Of course, his land is so much, and it is indeed twice the result with half the effort. There were rumors before that any money-making business in Luoyang City is behind the shadow of the Fu Palace. Now it seems that it is true. Otherwise, the Fu Palace will not be able to accumulate so much silver. You must know that this silver refers only to silver ingots, and other silver products are not included.

In addition to gold and silver, Fuwang Mansion also has a large number of precious items such as pearls, jade, agate, gems, jade, medicinal materials, etc. The value of these precious items is not yet estimated. With the current professional talents of the Hu Ben Army in Luoyang, they are afraid that they cannot estimate their value. They must be sent back and handed over to Shen Lingfei and others to effectively calculate their value.

In addition to these very valuable gold, silver and jewelry, there is also a wealth in the Fu Palace, which is also quite large, that is copper coins. Wang Shide said that there are twenty warehouses used to store copper coins in the Fu Palace, all of which are full of them. It is roughly estimated that each warehouse may have hundreds of millions of copper coins, that is, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Twenty warehouses will be two million taels of silver.

Because the copper coins were piled up for too long, all the ropes that strung the coins had rotted away. Most of the copper coins were scattered into the shape of a pyramid. Even many copper coins had already grown in copper green. When the warehouse door opened, it emitted a suffocating smell. However, even King Fu was reluctant to take out such copper coins, paying a little military expenses, and increasing the morale of the Luoyang defenders. His killing was indeed worthy of it.

In short, if the wealth of the Fu Palace is completely exchanged into silver, it will definitely not be less than 20 million taels. The annual income of the Ming Dynasty's treasury and the treasury is only six or seven million taels of silver. The wealth of the Fu Palace family is equivalent to three times the financial income of the Ming Dynasty. No wonder Zhang Zhun had to come to the lake to fish, otherwise he would be afraid that he would not be able to control his own.

“Everything is loaded on board.”

Zhang Zhun said with a serious expression.

"The ship has not arrived yet."

Wang Shide said with some concern.

Because the water flow of the Yellow River is a little small, the ships that the Hu Ben Army prepared to transfer materials have not arrived in Luoyang yet. I thought that due to the water flow, it was a bit difficult for Cangshan boat to come from Shandong to Luoyang, and it has not arrived yet.

“It will come.”

Zhang Zhun said quietly.

The Cangshan boats came early and later, which would have little impact. As long as the Hu Ben Army was still in Luoyang, it would be impossible for the official army to counterattack. Even if all the troops of the court gathered around Luoyang, Zhang Zhun was not afraid. Relying on a strong city like Luoyang, even if 300,000 Tartars came over with a fierce attack, Zhang Zhun was sure to destroy them, let alone the 300,000 official army with poor combat power?

In fact, Zhang Zhun has always been skeptical about the speed of the counterattack of the government army. If the Hu Ben Army had not taken Luoyang quickly and had not killed King Fu, perhaps the government army would have come to rescue him to prevent King Fu from being killed. However, now, the facts have already caused the rice to be cooked, and even if the government army counterattacks wildly, there is no possibility of changing the facts. Therefore, what they care more about is how to deal with the aftermath, rather than fighting with themselves.

To be honest, Zhang Zhun doesn't think that the current official army is qualified to fight against the Hu Ben Army. If the Hu Ben Army did not go into full war in the southeast, southwest and northwest, if the Hu Ben Army did not have so many opponents, if the Hu Ben Army's focus was not to eliminate the Tartars, but to concentrate the main force and first deal with the court, push Henan, at most one month. If you enter Shaanxi, it will take at most half a year. If you fight against the Hu Ben Army? Just kidding!

I believe that at this time, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, Yang Sichang, Shi Kefa and others were more concerned about how to report the bad news of the murder of King Fu. Deceiving superiors and concealing subordinates, reporting good news but not bad news, has always been the only way to officialdom, and this was even more so in the Ming Dynasty. Such a big thing happened in the battlefield in the Central Plains, and even more so, they could not escape the relationship. In order to save themselves, they must think carefully about how to report it so that Chongzhen's anger could be controlled within a controllable range.

If the Hu Ben Army killed King Fu, Chongzhen would definitely be angry. If they wanted to save their lives, they would have to collude in advance and would not add fuel to the fire of Chongzhen. The law does not blame the masses, and only by dividing all the responsibilities of everyone can we avoid this disaster. If we attack each other, we are afraid that no one will end up.

In the next two days, the situation in Luoyang was in full swing. The Hu Ben Army had no official celebrations, but the spontaneous celebrations among the people became more and more lively. In order to win the leniency of the Hu Ben Army and to win the favor of the Hu Ben Army, some wealthy families also actively organized some celebrations to create a happy and peaceful atmosphere.

The people of Luoyang are most concerned about two things in the past few days. The first is of course the implementation of the Juntian Order. The relevant announcements and documents are already posted everywhere in the streets and alleys of Luoyang City. They are eagerly waiting for when they can truly get their own fields.

The second one is the audition of Luoyang magistrate. Luoyang has indeed produced many talented people, and there are indeed many people who are qualified to serve as magistrates. Many of them are officials with good reputations, but they have to stand aside because they are excluded by corrupt officials. Now, it is their turn to turn over. In addition, a few elderly people who have retired to the mountains and forests have also been pulled out by the people around them to participate in the competition.

As a prefect under the banner of the Hu Ben Army, you may not get any benefits, but your reputation is inevitable. After all, this is the first prefect to be auditioned, right? Moreover, judging from the appearance of the Hu Ben Army, you will win the world in the future. Even if you cannot serve as a prefect and enter the eyes of the governor of the Hu Ben Army, it will be good. After the Hu Ben Army wins the world, you will never forget yourself, right?

"Sir, the scouts of the official army were found outside the city. After interrogation, they found that the troops affiliated with Yang Sichang were affiliated with Yang Sichang. After further reconnaissance, there were about 30,000 main forces of the Huguang Army led by Yang Sichang, and they had arrived at the Longmen Pass area."

At noon on October 13, the scout captain suddenly arrived and reported to Zhang Zhun.

"Yang Sichang is nearby?"

Zhang Zhun said a little strangely.

"Yes, it's indeed Yang Sichang. He came from Ruzhou."

Captain Scout's answer affirmatively.

Zhang Zhun couldn't help but smile slightly.

I thought it would be Hong Chengchou the first to react, but I didn't expect it to be this Yang Sichang.

In fact, Yang Sichang's reaction was reasonable. Emperor Chongzhen did trust Yang Sichang very much. He put Yang Sichang on the front line of the Central Plains just to make Yang Sichang gilded, and then join the palace to become his right-hand assistant.

I believe that Yang Sichang also understood what Emperor Chongzhen meant. Therefore, after he arrived at the front line, Yang Sichang worked very hard, leading the troops and worked tirelessly, following the buttocks of the Shaanxi Uprising Army, chasing and fighting hard. He was determined to wipe out the Shaanxi Uprising Army, give Emperor Chongzhen a satisfactory answer, and at the same time prove his strength to others.

However, now, I am afraid that Yang Sichang's good days will be almost over. The Hu Ben Army attacked Luoyang and gave him a blow, causing all his ambitions to be wiped out. At this time, don't say whether he can join the cabinet, or whether he can maintain his current official position is huge. Maybe, there is a possibility of being arrested and imprisoned.

“Closing monitoring.”

Zhang Zhun said calmly.

"clear!"

The captain of the scout turned around and went.

"Sir, Hong Chengchou's messenger is here."

In the afternoon, Wang Shide came in to report.

"please."

Zhang Zhun said calmly.

He had long guessed that Hong Chengchou would be polite first and then soldiers. He would definitely send someone to first find out his true purpose, and then make a decision on action. Then, he would tell him generously that King Fu was indeed dead, and see how he was going to end. He was desperate and furious? He was looking for another way out?
