Chapter 96 Redemption Fees

Although all the generals present were very dissatisfied with Mrs. Xing's decision, and Mrs. Xing was just a woman after all, no one dared to contradict Mrs. Xing at this moment.

She was not only Gao Jie's main wife, but also Li Zicheng's wife. She started a big fight with all the words and founded this army with Gao Jie. Although she has been compromised to take care of the overall situation over the years, this does not mean that Mrs. Xing has always been merciful.

Now Mrs. Xing is forced to stop. Killing Xu Dingguo is just an appetizer for her. Next, she is forced to stop even if the emperor is killed. Therefore, everyone wisely chose not to speak. However, Qian Weikun said openly: "We will all follow Mrs. Xing's arrangement!"

Mrs. Xing was still holding a sword in one hand and holding a head in the other. She asked Yuan Shu to Daliang Bingbei on the side: "Yuan Daotai, how much can you Suizhou redeem the city redemption fee?"

Yuan Shu can be said to be the most nervous person in the whole audience. He is not only a native of Suizhou but also the largest wealthy family in Suizhou. Daliang's military guards opened their homes in Suizhou, while Gao Jie and 300 family members died and injured in Yuan's homes. In addition to the two or three hundred people who were killed and injured in the city overnight yesterday, Yuan Shu knew that he was definitely messing up the matter.

In this way, a massacre of the city will definitely be inevitable. He doesn't know how to save the situation. As the number one gentry in Suizhou, he must take responsibility in this regard, so he was naturally overjoyed when he heard Mrs. Xing's question: "Mrs. Xing, it's okay to redeem the city silver. As long as you offer a price, I will go to raise the price immediately. I will try my best to do everything possible. If I can't raise it, I will give you a blank note!"

Yuan Shu naturally had the confidence to say this. His father was Yuan Keli, who had served as the governor of Denglai and the Minister of War in Nanjing. After several generations, half of Suizhou City was managed by the Yuan family's property, and he was even called "Three-generation Sima". As long as Suizhou City could be protected, the losses in money would be no problem.

But Li Benshen suddenly spoke, "Mr. Yuan, brothers are waiting for you to have fun after opening the city. What's wrong with you taking a bunch of white sticks!"

This is what Yuan Shu is most afraid of. Gao Jie's troops were mostly thieves and were completely undisciplined. When Gao Jie was alive, he could barely control these military officers. Now Gao Jie has died in a bad life. These soldiers are naturally lawless and want to slaughter the city and then enjoy it.

Guo Hu also caused trouble for Mrs. Xing: "Yes, it's enough for real money. In recent years, the court's wages are not worth hundreds of thousands of taels, but hundreds of thousands of taels. Tens of thousands of brothers are waiting for the rice to be served!"

Mrs. Xing interrupted Guo Hu's accusation coldly, and she asked Liu Yongxi: "Zhengyi Bo, what do you think do you do about this redemption fee?"

Liu Yongxi knew that Gao Jie's army had already fired, and that tens of thousands of officers and soldiers under the city were waiting for a good harvest after opening the city. Naturally, he could not do it recklessly: "This is true. You can't make white slips on the city redemption expenses. There must be real money and silver, no real money and silver, jewelry and jade ornaments, shops and houses. Even if it is not good, you still need some pigs, cows, chickens and ducks, white rice and white flour, right?"

Although Liu Yongxi was very harsh, and after several wars, Henan was already in ruins and could not extract much oil and water, Yuan Shu knew that only if he was dealt with improperly, he would be the ending of the city being broken, so Yuan Shu immediately replied: "Please rest assured, generals, I am now ordering all my efforts to raise money, and I will ensure that you will satisfy all the generals!"

Mrs. Xing still shouted with Xu Dingguo's head: "I'm afraid this is not enough!"

She really hated the officials and people of Suizhou to the core. Although she knew that it might not be the responsibility of the officials and people of Suizhou, since Gao Jie died in Yuan Mansion, Suizhou officials and Yuan Shu would have to pay an astonishing price.

She was originally determined to slaughter Suizhou, but now she is the best way to pay for some gold, silver and jewelry, shops, farms, pigs, cows, chickens and ducks, white rice and white flour.

This is all because Xiao Chengyi Bo tied up Xu Dingguo!

Liu Yongxi immediately said, "It's not enough. I wonder if you generals are interested in the thousands of old subordinates under Xu Dingguo?"

Liu Yongxi talked about the thousands of old subordinates under Xu Dingguo, whether they were Li Benshen, Guo Hu, Yang Chengzu, or even Li Chengdong, Gao Jinku became interested.

During the battle last night, these old subordinates of Gao Jie had already formed an unresolved hatred with Xu Dingguo's subordinates. Everyone was originally planning to kill Xu Dingguo's subordinates to eliminate future troubles, but today Liu Yongxi not only tied up Xu Dingguo himself, but also solved the trusted servants around Xu Dingguo, and the situation changed fundamentally.

Everyone saw the hope of peacefully reorganizing the Ministry of Xu Ding. Everyone felt that although the combat effectiveness of the Ministry of Xu Ding was quite far from Gao Jie's army, it was also a large number of troops on the ground in Henan, and it was fully equipped, with hot and cold weapons, and even many mules, horses and guns.

Therefore, when Liu Yongxi said this, everyone felt that he could swallow up these thousands of troops and expand his strength, especially generals like Li Chengdong who felt that he was limited in his strength and could not take over Gao Jiejiye were even more enthusiastic about this. Xu Dingguo's troops were all well-equipped veterans, and they could go into battle immediately after being recruited.

Although there will be problems with the supply of money and grain after the incorporation, the officials and citizens of Suizhou now have to pay a redemption fee, and then let the officials and citizens of Suizhou spend a little more money and grain.

Therefore, Li Chengdong was the first to stand up to support Liu Yongxi: "Mrs. Xing, I think Chengyi Bo is talking about his old-fashioned views, and you can do it according to Chengyi Bo's wishes!"

Gao Jinku also felt that the biggest key in this chaotic world is to strengthen our strength as much as possible. The reason why Liu Yongxi and Xing Shengping were lawless and dared to take back all the generals of the Gao camp was that they had nearly 10,000 troops in their hands. Therefore, he responded to Li Chengdong: "I think in addition to Xu Dingguo's troops, Suizhou City also had to make up for our losses yesterday, and what we lost were veterans of hundreds of wars!"

Although we knew that Gao Jinku had his idea on the young and strong man in Suizhou City, Yuan Shu could only endure humiliation and bear the burden: "Just do it according to General Gao's wishes. No matter how many people are lost, we Suizhou will be responsible for making up for it!"

Guo Hu was about to speak, but Mrs. Xing made a decision: "The matter in Suizhou is settled, so let's continue to deal with Xingping Bo's affairs, and business matters should be given priority!"
