The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Just as Wu Tuo and the others felt anxious, Zhu Hongyu finally finished reading the memorial at hand and asked.

"You want to invite Zhan to the front line?"

Zhu Hongyu's voice was obviously not loud, but to Wu Tuo's ears, it sounded like Hong Zhong Dalu.

Wu Tuo's body trembled visibly, and then he spoke back.

"Yes, Your Majesty Khan!"

"Your most loyal servant, Wutuo, is willing to fight for you!"

Zhu Hongyu fell into silence again.

Facing Wu Tuo's challenge, he really couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Zhu Hongyu continued to read the memorial, but his attention was not on it, but thinking about Wu Tuo's challenge.

Just as Wu Tuo was anxiously waiting again, Zhu Hongyu finally spoke.

"This Northern Expedition is not a large-scale war. The battle plan agreed by the staff is just to pull out Yangzhou, and there is no intention to expand the war."

"However, if you want to join the war, it's not impossible!"

"Let's go now, gather the soldiers and horses, and get your soldiers ready to go!"

"Go to the battlefield and perform well, don't embarrass me!"

"Don't disappoint the high expectations I placed on you!"

When Wu Tuo heard this, he kowtowed again excitedly and said.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Wu Tuo understands!"

"Your most loyal servant will prove his loyalty to you with the blood of your enemies."

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, he understood Wu Tuo's eagerness to show his loyalty, which is the so-called fanaticism of converts.

For example, some traitor bananas in later generations will only intensify their smearing of their motherland after becoming a foreign nationality.

It seems that only in this way can he be separated from his past.

Use this to show your loyalty to your new master.

The same is true for Wu Tuo now, after he surrendered to Ming Dynasty.

In order to show that he has completely cut himself off from his past, he would rush to fight, wanting to go to the battlefield and use the blood of the Qing army to prove his loyalty, which is really nothing more than normal.

Moreover, Zhu Hongyu can be sure that as long as Wutuo's surrendered troops are on the battlefield, they will only show more fanaticism and fearlessness than other Ming armies.

……

The elite soldiers and horses of the Ming army have already begun to prepare for crossing the river.

Ships pulled anchor one after another and headed towards the north of the river. Troop and grain ships kept appearing at the wharf outside Nanjing.

Transport countless troops and supplies to the other side of the Yangtze River.

However, the hottest topic in Nanjing now is not the Northern Expedition launched by Ming Dynasty.

But a very novel vocabulary, bond!

After Zhu Hongyu had the idea of ​​issuing bonds, he did not implement it directly. Instead, he asked the cabinet to discuss whether it was feasible.

In the end, the answer given by the cabinet is, you can try!

In the eyes of the adults in the Ming cabinet, bonds are, to put it bluntly, the court borrowing money from the people!
Besides, this thing is not mandatory!
...

What could happen?

If His Majesty wants to do it, do it!

Anyway, nothing major will happen!
……

Palace, flower hall!
As a prominent gentry family in Nanjing, the Wang family has a large manor outside the city of Nanjing.

In the manor, there are rockery and flowing water, ponds and waterside pavilions, a piece of beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River!

However, some buildings are angular, with the majestic atmosphere of the Northland.

This manor was not built by the Wang family themselves, the original owner was a powerful man from the Qing Dynasty!

Not long after the manor was completed, Daming regained Nanjing.

Then, the manor came into the hands of the Ming court.

In order to get back the funds, the Ming court sold the manor.

There is no shortage of estates like this for sale!
The Wang family entrusted a lot of connections and went through a lot of connections before spending money to sell this manor.

Today, this manor has been regarded as the family's ancestral home by the Wang family.

In the flower hall, many senior members of the Wang family gathered together to discuss matters.

The Patriarch of the Wang family, Wang Wenzhong, was playing with two walnuts in his hands, and asked with a serious expression on his face.

"Have you all read today's new newspaper?"

A steward of the Wang family stood up and said.

"Return to the master's words, I read it, the master wants to talk about bonds?"

Taking advantage of the upcoming Northern Expedition of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Hongyu brought up the issue of bonds.

And it also uses newspapers to distribute directly to the whole country.

Many big gentry households in Nanjing, when they saw the words "recovery bonds", the first reaction in their minds was that the imperial court was short of money and had to cut leeks.

As soon as the word bond came out, it can be said that it caused a huge wave!
Hearing this, Wang Wenzhong nodded and said.

"Indeed!"

"What kind of bonds does the imperial court want to sell publicly? How should our royal family deal with it?"

In Wang Wenzhong's view, the imperial court wanted to cut leeks, or let them, big merchants, pay protection fees.

As for the bond is just borrowing money from the court, it will be repaid, and there will be interest...

Wang Wenzhong thinks whoever believes is stupid!
Do you believe what the court says?
Very brave, young man!

In his opinion, as long as the money goes into the imperial court's pocket, the imperial court will immediately turn their backs and deny anyone.

Want money?
Say it again, I didn't hear clearly, do you want money or life?
However, although Wang Wenzhong sees things clearly, is it useful to see clearly?
Useless!

The imperial court wanted to issue bonds, no matter how clearly he saw it, he still had to support it.

Dare to join in and try?

Wang Wenzhong's third uncle said.

"This bond, isn't it clear that the court is cheating us businessmen?"

"Can't buy it!"

"Buying it is a waste of time!"

The son of Wang Wenzhong in a plate also spoke.

"Yes, Dad, you should think twice about this matter!"

Wang Wenzhong's son felt that even if his Wang family threw silver into the water, it would still be heard.

But if it is donated to the imperial court, even a bubble will not come out!

Although the Wang family is not short of money, that's not how money is spent!
Listening to his family's words, Wang Wenzhong's face was dark, and he couldn't help but want to curse.

What kind of bullshit is that?

The imperial court is going to issue bonds. As a big and respectable family in Nanjing, can the Wang family pretend that they didn't see it?

Certainly not!
To put it bluntly, this matter belongs to that kind. If you support the court, it may not be of any benefit.

But if you don't give the court face, then there may not be any harm!

There is a difference of one word, but the gap is very different!

At this moment, Wang Wenzhong's youngest son stood up and said.

"Father, I think that my royal family should take the initiative to pay for a batch of bonds that the imperial court wants to sell."

"Even if it doesn't make any money, it doesn't matter, it's my royal family's gesture of favor to the imperial court!"

Hearing this, Wang Wenzhong nodded slightly in satisfaction.

"That's a good statement!"

"If the imperial court wants to issue bonds, my royal family will more or less have to buy a batch!"
