Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 234 The girl is in charge

Xu Da was not dazzled by the victory. From the day he defeated Ashikaga Takauji's army, he stepped up the excavation of the Iwamiyama silver mine.

According to his calculations, after this battle, it will at least shock the other Japanese daimyo in a short period of time.

We must seize the opportunity to take advantage of this free window. While digging for silver mines, Xu Da also sent people to the port where the Ming warships docked to replenish various supplies, including ammunition and cannonballs.

And in fact it is.

The battle in Izumo Country directly plunged the entire Japan into shock and turmoil.

The reputation of the Ming Dynasty Master also began to spread on the Japanese island.

Ashikaga Takauji's [-]-strong army sent out troops to attack the Ming soldiers. In the end, they fell into the sand and fled.

Nearly [-] people died in direct combat.

I heard that there were mountains of corpses piled up in the open fields outside Izumo.

As the largest force in Japan today, no one doubts the strength of Ashikaga Takauji, but it is precisely because of this that they are so shocked.

After hearing the report of the battle situation from their own spies, all the famous people took a breath of cold air.

Everyone was shocked by the battle report reported by the spies.

They were shocked not just by Ashikaga Takauji's failure.

"How much did you say?!" A daimyo even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

"The death toll from Ashikaga Takauji's army is estimated to be nearly [-] people," a ninja said.

"That's not it, I'm talking about the Ming Dynasty!"

"No corpses of Ming soldiers were seen at the scene." The ninja paused and said with some uncertainty. "But it is also possible that the battlefield has been cleared by the time my subordinates arrived. However, it is estimated that the casualties of the Ming army will not exceed a hundred."

After hearing the report from the ninjas under his command, the daimyo's eyes widened, his face was full of disbelief, and he could not speak for a long time.

After annihilating [-] Ashikaga Takauji's army, the number of Ming soldiers killed was less than a hundred? !

Is the Ming army really so powerful?

This battle definitely caused enough deterrence to the daimyo of the small and medium-sized forces. Even Ashikaga Takauji couldn't break this hard nut, so they would naturally weigh their own strength.

With so few troops in hand, can he send them to fill the gaps between the Ming army's teeth?

This is not how you seek death. No matter how good the money is, you still have to spend it on life, right?

They are all waiting for the big forces to take action, and then see which way the wind blows, whether they can take advantage of the chaos and get a share of the pie.

It has been two and a half months since Xu Da went on an expedition to the sea.

Still no news came back to Ming Dynasty.

All kinds of rumors are flying in the capital and getting worse.

Duke of Wei.

Xu Miaoyun, who came back from outside, glanced at the dusty stone lion at the door, frowned, and called the housekeeper directly.

"It's time to clean those two stone lions outside the mansion, Uncle Mo."

The old housekeeper glanced at the stone lion, and sure enough he saw the dust on it. His expression changed and he quickly said: "These servants are getting more and more disgraceful. Miss, I will have someone scrub them."

Under the command of the old butler, several servants immediately swarmed over and started scrubbing seriously with rags and buckets.

Xu Miaoyun walked into the house, followed by the old housekeeper.

"It's autumn, and the flowers and plants in the flower garden haven't been pruned yet, right?" Xu Miaoyun stopped in front of the garden.

The old housekeeper reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

There have been so many mistakes in a row, and as a steward, he has no shirk in his responsibility. He has been working hard to manage these days, but the people in the house are unstable. He is quite old, and sometimes he is really powerless.

As Xu Da left for a longer time, especially after the news that Xu Da died in a shipwreck came out from nowhere in the capital in recent days, this situation became more and more serious.

The old housekeeper was about to ask people to go to the garden to work like before, but was directly interrupted by Xu Miaoyun.

"Uncle Mo, go and call all the servants in the mansion." Xu Miaoyun said.

Some things are better solved once and for all.

After a while, the entire servants of Duke Wei's mansion were called to gather in the backyard.

They looked at Xu Miaoyun, all of them seemed a little nervous.

Xu Da was not at home all year round, and his mistress died young.

All the servants in Duke Wei's mansion knew that all the applications, finance and personnel in the mansion were all done by the teenage girl in front of them.

It can be said that Xu Miaoyun has the power of life and death over them.

At this time, Xu Miaoyun suddenly called them over. It was inevitable that they would be nervous, especially the servants who were responsible for scrubbing the two stone lions at the entrance of the Duke's Mansion.

Xu Miaoyun looked at them with calm eyes.

"In recent days, all kinds of rumors have been circulating in the capital, many of which are about my father. You have probably heard of them."

Xu Miaoyun was very aware of the considerations of these servants. Some of them must have been thinking about what they would do if Xu Da really passed away unfortunately, and the Duke of Wei's house would plummet.

Some of them have even begun to plan to find another job in their hearts. It is not easy for anyone to live a better life, so Xu Miaoyun will not feel sad or disappointed.

I just feel that there are real differences between people.

A person's vision really determines his achievements to a great extent.

These people did not even think about it. Even if Xu Da was unfortunately killed, the title of Wei Guogong would probably be inherited by his son, her brother Xu Yungong, just like Chang Yuchun.

When the time comes, the Duke's Palace of Wei will naturally not be as good as it is now, but after all, it is also a Duke's Palace.

For servants like them, there is no difference at all.

Xu Miaoyun didn't know what they were thinking about.

"Those rumors may be true." Xu Miaoyun said directly.

As soon as these words came out, there was a rustling sound immediately below.

Xu Miaoyun just looked at them calmly.

When the old housekeeper saw this situation, he immediately cursed: "Quiet down, the eldest lady is lecturing me!"

The scene immediately became quiet, but some of the people's eyes looked a little strange.

The old housekeeper then turned his head, looked at Xu Miaoyun, and said, "Miss, I will be fine."

Xu Miaoyun raised her hand to interrupt the old housekeeper's words, looked at everyone, and said in a cold voice: "Those who want to leave the Xu Mansion can leave today. Remembering the friendship for many years, you can go to the accounting office to collect 5 taels of silver before leaving. , it’s a good time to get together and get together.”

"For those who stay, just work hard and abide by your duties with peace of mind. If you are slacking off like today again, the punishment will be doubled. In serious cases, you will be expelled from the Xu Mansion directly!"

Xu Miaoyun looked at everyone, but no one responded.

Xu Miaoyun nodded, and then said: "I gave you the opportunity. Since you all chose to stay, let's break up and go to work."

"Yes, Miss!"
