Baidu otaku as Chongzhen

Chapter 312 Encounter

Lei Dayong finished his explanation.

Yang Reform is very satisfied. This plan is almost perfect.

"Master Sun, is there anything else you want to add?" Yang Reform asked.

Sun Chengzong has been listening to the emperor's strategy. When the emperor asked, he said: "Return to your majesty, I have nothing to say. This strategy is already perfect. It all depends on whether the general can make a good start. The first battle of the Allied Army started, fought well, and established a reputation. In this way, this strategy is perfect. In the future, the Mongols will definitely become vassals of our dynasty, and the border troubles can be solved." Sun Chengzong praised.

"Hehe, yes! General Man, I wonder if you are sure about this first battle? This is related to the success of our Mongolian strategy!" Yang Reform asked Man Gui with a smile.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have absolute certainty. With the equipment, training, and salary of the new army, if I can't win again, I will hang myself by touching my neck. What's more, the Mongolian right wing has already disbanded. It's very easy for them, I will definitely do things according to His Majesty's request." Man Gui agreed without hesitation.

"Okay! That's good. However, I called you here today, not only to let you listen to the Mongolian strategy, but after hearing the Mongolian strategy, you must understand my intentions and be able to implement my strategy. Starting today, you two generals will undergo rigorous strategic and tactical training. To put it bluntly, it is to let you undergo rigorous sand table confrontation training. There is a mountain outside the pass, and there is a ditch there, so you must know it well, in the future, the land that is two thousand miles long and two hundred miles wide will be your racetrack.” Yang Reform abused Yuan Chonghuan, and now, They will continue to abuse Man Gui and Zhao Lijiao.

"I understand." Man Gui and Zhao Lijiao agreed.They really like playing this kind of sandbox confrontation game.

"Okay, to be honest, I don't have high requirements. The Imperial Association Army is going to fight, and the first battle must be won." Yang Reform carefully checked his strategic preparations, not letting go of any possible mistakes.

"I understand that the first battle must be won." Man Gui replied.

……

Just as he was talking, Wang Chengen reported, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Shaanxi."

"Here from Shaanxi? What's the matter?" Yang Huaizheng was talking enthusiastically with his two guns when he suddenly heard the urgent report from Shaanxi and immediately asked seriously. Blast people to pieces.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it seems to be an urgent report from an imperial envoy sent by His Majesty." Wang Chengen said in a low voice.

"Imperial envoy? From Shaanxi?" Yang Reform asked.

"Your Majesty, yes, from Shaanxi. Has Your Majesty ever forgotten to borrow Shaanxi governor Hu Yan's head banquet?" Wang Chengen reminded.

"Oh, it's been a month now. Where's the head? Why is it a reply?" Yang Reform suddenly remembered that he had sent someone to Shaanxi to borrow the head of the governor of Shaanxi.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I don't know about your slaves, please take a look at your Majesty. There should be an explanation in the details." Wang Chengen whispered about this matter. He did something wrong with this matter and agreed to Sun Chengzong, so that the imperial envoy sent to A few days late, when we arrive at the field, if Hu Yanyan is dead, don’t cut off his head, let alone poke his body, and report it to the emperor. Now, this urgent report has come, which means that Hu Yanyan is “dead.”Wang Chengen breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this matter was done behind the emperor's back, and Wang Chengen didn't want the emperor to find out, although it was all for the emperor's benefit.

Yang Reform paused the discussion with his two guns, opened the letter inside, and looked through it.

Yang Reform frowned. The imperial envoy who found the letter said that they hadtened their horses. When they arrived in Shaanxi, they found that Hu Yanyan was dead, and he had died of a sudden illness for several days. Undoubtedly, although they have opened the coffin, it is not easy to move the corpse. After all, decapitation is decapitation, but if you poke the corpse, unless it is a person who has committed a heinous crime, you will not be able to enjoy this treatment. Therefore, they have no choice but to report it. , to see what the emperor meant, should he continue to borrow heads and poke corpses, or should he just let it go?

"Hu Yanyan is dead." Yang Reform dropped the letter and said.

Everyone was waiting for the emperor to speak or make a certain action.Hearing the news of Hu Yanyan's death suddenly, everyone sighed endlessly. A feudal official who got his head borrowed by the emperor is also a well-known figure. Now he was surprised to hear that he was dead, but he didn't people talk.

Sun Chengzong secretly sighed that he was lucky. This letter was delivered even more timely. It just happened to be delivered when he was still in front of the emperor. Come on, it's really hard to say whether the emperor will do something unexpected.Now that I am in front of the emperor, the emperor will not get mad anymore, and the emperor probably won't take this matter to heart.

At this time, Yang Reform had lost the original resentment in his heart. The fact that Hu Yanyan was dead or not had no great influence on him. Killing him was just to vent his anger. Yang Reform thought for a while and said, "Master Sun, Hu Yanyan is dead. , you said, what should I do?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I believe that the death of a person is the most important thing, and the debt of a person's death is eliminated. Since Hu Yanyan is dead, then the guilt on him should also be eliminated. At the same time, the head of the deceased should not be taken again. After all, Even if Hu Yanyan is wrong, even if he deserves to die, he still hasn't reached the point of poking his corpse." Sun Chengzong sighed secretly, the thing happened sooner rather than the coincidence, he just happened to be by His Majesty's side, and it just so happened that this urgent report arrived at this time , This is a coincidence, it seems that God still doesn't want His Majesty's reputation to be dusted!
"Well, it makes sense. However, although the person is dead and the debt is eliminated, all the preferential treatment, rewards, and shelter that he received because of Hu Yanyan in the past must all be recovered." Yang Reform no longer cares about the life and death of the governor. Well, killing him is nothing more than venting anger. Now that the person is dead, there is not much resentment left in his heart, so this matter will be done hastily.

Sun Chengzong breathed a sigh of relief, and Wang Chengen also breathed a sigh of relief.Although this matter was done for the emperor's benefit, it was done secretly behind the emperor's back. If the emperor knew about it, he would definitely have a grudge against them.

Things that made Yang Reform extremely angry in the past, now, in Yang Reform's view, it doesn't matter anymore. If this group of Confucianists don't do this kind of deed that harms their own people, it is really a rare thing.

……

In July of the first year of Chongzhen, in the past few days, Yang Reform was concentrating on one thing, which was to personally supervise the production and issuance of military tickets.

Things like military tickets were issued quietly. Although the ministers knew about it, they didn't ask much. Take it to the court meeting and say, after all, it is the military salary paid by the emperor himself. How he likes to do it is the emperor's own business, as long as the officers and soldiers don't make trouble. Or, counting on the emperor's internal funds, the emperor can still issue a piece of paper, and there are not even a word in many places.

Some people are ready to watch the emperor's jokes. After all, treasure banknotes have a bad reputation, while others are ready to wait and see. I was a little bit sure, so I just pressed down, and I was going to see the situation before talking.

In short, the matter of the emperor issuing military tickets came into this world quietly.

Yang Reform's first batch of military tickets has already been issued, and the target is the new army. However, the number is not large, and he is ready to see the reaction. Yang Reform's attitude towards this matter is quite cautious.Although the salary of the new army is quite high, in fact, not many are paid to the soldiers. The system has always been implemented with [-]% received, [-]% received by the family, and [-]% saved.

The salary of the new army has always been paid in a timely manner. At the beginning of each month, it will be paid for the previous month.

……

From the production to the issuance of the new army's military tickets, Yang Reform paid close attention to the whole process.

No, early in the morning, he asked about the military ticket. After all, this is the top priority of Yang's reform.

"Mate, how is the issuance of military tickets going? What do the soldiers of the new army say? What do the merchants say? What do the common people say?" Yang Reform has always been very nervous about the issuance of military tickets.I'm afraid that if I make a bad mistake and make it out of control, it will be like smashing my own gun!This blow to oneself is really too big.

"Returning to Your Majesty, this morning, the servants received the news that the soldiers of the new army still reacted flatly to the military ticket. They were not very afraid or cared. They all believed that His Majesty would not lie to them. So, even if I received the military ticket, I don't have any complaints..." Wang Chengen said as happily as possible.

"Oh, really? I don't quite believe that the consciousness of the officers and soldiers is so high?" To be honest, Yang Reform doesn't expect ordinary soldiers in the feudal society to have the consciousness of communist fighters. Grumbling.

"Your Majesty, yes, yes, the new army is His Majesty's own army, and His Majesty treats the new army very well, so they naturally think of His Majesty, besides, His Majesty's military ticket is not irreplaceable, they believe His Majesty Yes." Wang Chengen explained.

"Really, don't you lie to me?" Yang Reform asked suspiciously.

"Really, Your Majesty, nowadays, many soldiers are keeping the military tickets they got, saying that they are family heirlooms for future generations. They all say that Your Majesty's military tickets are exquisite and reliable... and they are reluctant to spend them." Wang Chengen never told a lie. The quality of the emperor's banknotes is really indescribable, and the printing is so exquisite. Many soldiers really have this plan and regard this thing as their family heirloom. Of course, there are some factors, Wang Chengen didn't say, that is, Man Gui and Zhao Lijiao heard that the emperor's internal funds were not much, and they wanted to issue two paper money with one silver. Officers and soldiers cannot exchange military tickets for silver. If they want to exchange them, they will be exchanged for this month next month. Then, now, the Xinjun, Mangui, and Zhao Lediao are considered as one person, so this kind of soldiers collecting military tickets appeared, not to say it was fake, but it was not completely true.

"That's it!" Yang Reform said to himself doubtfully.

Wang Chengen didn't dare to look at the emperor. This matter is still a bit hypocritical. Wang Chengen is considering whether to tell the emperor the actual situation.

"What about the merchants who supply the new army with supplies?" Yang Reform asked again. The new army consumes a lot of supplies every day, such as pork, vegetables, oil, etc., which need to be supplied by merchants. According to Yang Reform's meaning, only these military tickets are given to the merchants, and then the merchants take the military tickets to the bank to exchange for silver. There is a time difference, so that 100 million taels of silver will become 200 million taels of money. Preparations for the full issuance of banknotes.

"Returning to Your Majesty, those merchants are still the same as a few days ago. As soon as they get the military ticket, they immediately take it to the bank and exchange it for silver coins. They will never hold it for an extra quarter of an hour." Wang Chengen replied.

"... Oh, this situation is also expected! This is also a good thing. Merchants are at least willing to accept this kind of military ticket. When they get used to the military ticket for silver, they form in their minds that the military ticket can be exchanged for money. The concept of money, I will accomplish this matter." This is not the first time that Yang Reform has said this, and in the past few days, he has been monitoring the movement of the entire military ticket issuance, and he has been worrying a lot.

"That is, Your Majesty, as long as those merchants get used to His Majesty's military tickets and know that military tickets can be exchanged for silver, they will be lazy in the future and will not be so diligent in exchanging silver. At that time, as long as A batch of military tickets stayed overnight in the hands of those merchants, which is not a small amount, and everyone will get used to military tickets in the future, and it will be natural not to exchange them for a long time..." Wang Chengen said.

"...Well, I know, I think so too..." Yang Reform said again. In the past few days, every move of the military ticket has been paid attention to by Yang Reform, and even how many military tickets a certain businessman has taken If the bills are exchanged for silver in the bank, Yang Reform will also intervene.

"Yes, Your Majesty..." Wang Chengen explained to the emperor tirelessly.

"Where are those ministers? What happened to them?" Yang Reform asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the ministers didn't say anything, and many of them are still waiting to see what His Majesty is doing. They are going to wait for a period of time after His Majesty's military ticket is issued..." Wang Chengen replied again.

"...Everything is almost as expected..." Yang Reform said this again boringly.

"Yes, Your Majesty..." Wang Chengen continued to agree.

……

"Forget it, big companion, let's go out of the palace for a while. Staying in the palace is boring." Yang Reform has not had a good life for a while. Palace relax.

"Yes, Your Majesty, but go to Liulizhai?" Wang Chengen asked in a low voice.

"No, let's not go to Liulizhai today, let's take a walk on the street first. I haven't been on the street for some days." Yang Reform said.

"Of order, Your Majesty, I will go prepare now." Wang Chengen agreed.

……

Not long after, Yang Reform had already left the palace. He was dressed as a young master, and Wang Chengen was a reliable old housekeeper, followed by "family servants".Of course, how many "security guards" are around.

Beijing City, as the foot of the Son of Heaven, is still bustling, with people coming and going, and the stream is endless. It may also be to avoid the sun in July. People take advantage of the cool time in the morning to do all the things that should be done. Yang Reform Waving a fan, walking in the neighborhood of Beijing.

But after walking for a long time, Yang Reform felt the heat. Even in the morning, the sun was not very strong, but the slightest bit of firepower should not be underestimated. Yang Reform began to regret that he should not go out for a walk.

"Housekeeper, let's go and find a teahouse to rest for a while. The weather is too hot..." Yang Reform complained, today came on a whim, but unfortunately, he didn't choose a good day.

Soon he arrived at a teahouse, and Yang Huami chose a private room facing the street to rest and drink tea while admiring the local customs on the street.

In the sky, at some point, a few clouds floated over and covered the sun. Without the sun's patronage, there were obviously more people on the street.

Quite a few small merchants took advantage of the rare opportunity to yell loudly.

Yang Reform waved his fan and looked at the people living in the streets. He also found it fresh and enjoyed watching it with relish.

"Big companion, that place seems to be a juggling place, a lot of people are watching around!" Yang Reform's eyes lit up, and saw a beautiful woman walking a "tightrope".Although she was far away, she was also attracted by the beauty's figure and appearance. This woman has a completely different temperament from that of the women of the Ming Dynasty, that is, independent, independent, capable, and confident. This kind of temperament, Yang Reform can see from Sun Liniang I have been to some, but this woman in red is even better.

"My lord, indeed, that place is indeed a juggling place..." Wang Chengen also had sharp eyes, and saw the red-clothed woman juggling at a glance. Halfway through his promise, he stopped talking.

"Interesting, interesting." Yang Reform was fascinated by the woman in red. Such a beautiful woman is rare in the 21st century.

"Housekeeper, go tell the juggling team that I want to watch them juggle, and ask them to move the stall over and under the teahouse. If it's good, I will reward you..." A certain string in Yang Reform's heart Being touched, I couldn't help but speak out.

"Your order, my lord." Wang Chengen agreed, and then asked the "servant" to invite the juggling team.

Yang Reform's "family member" quickly left the teahouse, went straight to the juggling troupe of the woman in red, and then said a few words to the woman in red, and the woman in red looked at the seat where Yang Reform was sitting. come over……

Yang Reform met her eyes, feeling that he was being shocked.

The woman in red nodded to the "servant", as if to explain a few words, and then the juggling troupe moved the stall over and moved it under the teahouse.

Yang Reform looked at the approaching woman in red, his heart pounding.

The woman in red smiled gracefully downstairs, and wished Yang Reform a blessing.

　[After 50 clicks, I realized that I had actually written 130 million words. The result was embarrassing. 】
