Griffin Commander in the Late Ming Dynasty

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with increasing hit rate? Isn't this a very useful skill?"

"You know what you are thinking!"

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to start drawing cards! Back then, Chen Daozi used 200,000 to win 37 million. It's not a problem for me, Jiang Han, to draw good stuff in two draws."

"Oh, okay, okay, I hope you can ship the goods as soon as possible. I'll stay outside first, so that you won't say that I ruined your Feng Shui."

...

"What do you think the commander is doing right now?"

Several humanoids were on their way to Changzhou. On the way, they started chatting.

"Commander? If you're not handling business, then you're just being lazy again, right?"

Everyone has been together for so long that they are very clear about Jiang Han's style. He is an old lazy guy who would rather lie down than sit. For this reason, he even got a recliner at home. At first, the humanoid would talk back at him, but later he lay down on it himself. Later, the recliner was confiscated, and Jiang Han had to have someone take it back.

"I guess he's probably having an affair again. I saw in the city before that the human woman had bad intentions towards the commander."

With a light snort, 416's words were filled with jealousy.

"Not really? That human woman is indeed quite threatening, but I think you have to trust the commander's emotional intelligence. He probably still hasn't figured out her feelings yet."

"Now that you put it that way, it does make sense, Commander, you are such a straight man."

"...Don't be like that, I think he's quite romantic."

The little princess couldn't help but speak up for Jiang Han.

"? What do you mean, are you secretly doing something special? Did you two secretly... while we were out on a mission? Oh my God!"

"What nonsense are you talking about! There is no such thing as secretly!"

"If not secretly, then openly? Oh my God!"

"........."

The M4 people are confused. They have been with the commander for a long time. It is not easy to learn good things, but it is easy for them to learn bad things. The teammates around them are all more cunning than each other. What should they do?

"Hello, hey, hey! M4! Is the little princess there?"

While M4 was numb, Jiang Han's anxious voice came into the communication channel.

"Oh~~Is the little princess here?"

“Go, go, go!” He waved his hand to blast away several people and began to communicate with Jiang Han: “M4 received, Commander, do you have any instructions?”

"No, no, I came to see you... Yes, guess why I came to see you?"

M4: “???”

Are you seriously ill? Before, when the dolls said that the commander was an old straight man with a bad brain, she didn't believe it, but now she believes it a little.

"I do not know"

If Jiang Han could see M4's expression now, he would see the same look as that of the air conditioner installer.

"Haha, I have a big surprise for you, hurry up, say something to M4"

Then, as M4 and everyone else present looked in disbelief, a voice that M4 was extremely familiar with came from the communication channel: "Long time no see, little princess."

Volume 274: Chapter Chapter : She's coming, she's coming with rabbit ears

She is the one-on-one king of Girls Frontline. She has never lost a battle in her career, and the worst result is a draw. She is recognized as T0 in the game's combat power rankings, but her actual game performance is not good.

She plays the role of both father and mother in the plot, and is also a good helper for newbies in the game. Due to her strong physique comparable to a shotgun, she can be seen diligently dragging corpses at 0-2 in every holy liver in the game. Griffin's belongings were all dragged back by her step by step.

A woman who ran away from the iron blood and gave herself a set of white-haired skin.

A woman with the ultimate sister complex, so much so that people begin to doubt her motives for joining Griffin and her sexual orientation.

It’s her, it’s her, it’s her, our friend, 16 pigeons!

The moment he heard the other party's voice on the communication channel, M4 couldn't hold back: "M16? M16 is that you!? Are you...are you okay? I mean...how are you...no..."

M4 was a little incoherent due to her emotions. As the first T-doll summoned to Jiang Han, she had a deep understanding of Jiang Han's summoning of T-dolls. The T-dolls summoned by Jiang Han were the same as they were in Griffin. However, M16 had already defected to Iron Blood. Although she didn't know what her purpose was, they had become enemies. But what if, just what if, the commander summoned the former M16 who was in Griffin?

Can everything go back to the way it was before? Can the AR team...get together again?

Ever since she came into this world, and since the day Jiang Han promised to reunite M16 with her, she has been looking forward to this day, looking forward to M16 coming to her, drinking with her and caring about her like before... But when this day really came, she began to feel a little at a loss.

She was looking forward to this day, and even dreamed about their meeting, but she was also a little scared. What if she guessed wrong? What if it was the iron-blooded M16 who showed up? The M16 who fought her mercilessly...

Thinking of this, M4's eyes dimmed.

"Hahaha, what's wrong, M4? You've grown so much, why are you still so reckless? You can't go on like this. Well, it seems you still need my help."

Hearing this, M4's originally dim eyes suddenly became full of brilliance: "M16, you..."

"What do you mean by 'I'? Send me the coordinates immediately. I'm worried about you going out on a mission like this."

In the communication channel, M16's carefree voice seemed to dispel all the haze: "And" the voice became gentle again: "We haven't seen each other for so long, I have to take a good look at you"

In front of Jiang Han, Jiang Han tightened his lips, trying hard not to laugh out loud. M16 was immersed in the conversation with M4, with a doting smile on his face. The swallowtail on the back of his white and capable butler uniform swayed in the wind. On his brown hair, two rabbit ears, one white and one yellow, swayed, making people feel itchy.

I wonder what M4 will think when he sees Brother 16 like this.

Kawaii, 16 sauce.

That’s right, Jiang Han originally gave Brother 16 this one-eyed White Rabbit Knight skin, which is cute and cool, and very nice-looking. But after seeing the iron-blooded and cool Brother 16 in the plot for too long, there is always an indescribable feeling when seeing this cute one.

Mainly because of this skin, it is so handsome after the battle damage, hahahaha (drooling) 16 brother, my 16 brother! The commander will be furious when he sees it!

The two chatted for a long time in the voice channel. They had so many things to say, but some people were not so happy.

"That's enough. We are still on a mission. The communication channel is not for chatting with someone!"

416's dissatisfied voice interrupted the affectionate atmosphere between the two. In a sense, her emotional intelligence was very low, but she did it on purpose.

"Hey, isn't this Little 416? What's up? Is your injury healed?"

"You...?"

"Alright, alright, alright..." Seeing that the two were about to fight, Jiang Han hurriedly stepped forward to act as a peacemaker. Once these two people started arguing, no one could do anything, and only Jiang Han, as the commander, could persuade them to stop.

"Hmph, for the sake of the commander, I won't argue with you for now. When we meet, I swear I will kick your ass hard with my boots!"

416 threatened viciously.

"Wow, that's a really scary threat."

"That's enough, brother 16, please stop talking."

After a lot of chaos, they finally calmed the two down. 16 hung up the phone, waved his hand, and walked out the door: "Then Commander, I'll be leaving first."

"Departure? Where are you going?"

Jiang Han looked at the other person with a puzzled expression.

"Didn't I just say in the communication channel that I was going to look for M4? Could it be that you, Commander, are so gentlemanly that you never listen to conversations between girls?"

"Ah? You're leaving right now? Are you in such a hurry?"

"Of course, I haven't been with M4 for five years! Five years, five years! Do you know how I spent these five years? I can't wait even a minute now, I have to go see her now!"

"Are you really in such a hurry?"

Jiang Han slowly took out a porcelain bottle and placed it on the table. A strong aroma of wine emanated from the porcelain bottle.

"...Actually, it's been five years, there's no rush, it's okay to wait a little longer."

M16 asked about the fragrance, and immediately changed his expression. He smiled and sat opposite Jiang Han: "What's in it?"

Jiang Han found M16's expression somewhat amusing. What classic alcoholic big sister image? Are you going to take your last lesson too?

“Authentic handmade Dutch whiskey, I got this with great difficulty”

"Oh, you have good vision, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!"

M16 looked at the porcelain bottle in Jiang Han's hand with shining eyes, took it and took a sip, with an extremely satisfied expression on his face: "Ah... I finally got to drink it..."

She held the porcelain bottle, her face full of satisfaction, but soon she felt a little aggrieved, holding the porcelain bottle without saying a word (for specific reactions, please search for Zheng Xiang eating a hamburger)

"I knew you would like this, but is it really that delicious? Isn't your reaction a little too..."

Jiang Han was so annoyed that he thought, there is something wrong with you, brother 16. The change of emotions was too natural. You look like the best actress on the red carpet.

"You know, the Iron Blood gang never organizes team building, leisure, or entertainment. They just make you work, work, and work again!"

"Five years! Five years! I haven't had a single sip of wine! Inside, it's a black-hearted coal mine! Do you know how long I've waited for this one sip? Do you know!"

"It's okay, it's okay, it's all over, it's all over, you're here, drink as much as you want, drink as much as you want, it's all up to you, just drink slowly here, okay?"

"...No, I still want to watch M4."

You are worthy of being called Brother 16. You are a sister-con. You even quit drinking for your sister. You are a ruthless person.

Beijing

"Your Majesty is still worried about suppressing the rebellion...?"

Seeing Chongzhen looking uneasy, Empress Zhang stepped forward and greeted him reluctantly.

"Ah... yes, there are many rebels heading south, and most of Jiangnan has fallen into the hands of thieves. Brother, you handed Jiangshan over to me in your book, but it turned out like this..."

Chongzhen was so worried that he was almost unbearable.

"Now, if we want to quell the rebellion, we must dispatch a large army to the south. However, the situation in Liaodong is tense. Where can we get the money to dispatch a large army now?... Oh..."

Having no money is the deepest pain for a man, and Zhenzi has never had much money.

"In this way... the expenses of the harem can actually be reduced a little more..."

Empress Zhang couldn't bear to see her man so anxious, so she wanted to help Zhenzi share some of the burden. It must be said that Empress Zhang was truly a good wife and mother. After becoming Chongzhen's wife, she never had a good day. She was respected as a **. When her clothes were torn, she sewed them herself. Her skirt even had patches. She ate pickles with Zhenzi every day. She was the ultimate good woman.

Fortunately, Chongzhen still had some conscience in his heart and stopped Empress Zhang from tightening her belt: "Madam, there is no need to do this. The expenses of the harem can no longer be reduced. Besides, how much can we reduce? The current plan..."

The expenses of the harem can no longer be reduced. Because Zhenzi had high blood pressure and had to send troops frequently, breaking many things, there are only a few tea bowls left in the harem to entertain him. Moreover, he can't stand eating pickles and drinking porridge every day.

"The only solution now is to collect money from the people."

Because of the previous divine performance of Jiulian Bodhisattva, Zhenzi gave up the idea of ​​raising money from the officials. Unfortunately, he didn't raise much money, and his son died. He was really scared.

The ministers' attitude was very clear: I had no money, but I had my life. If you wanted money from me, I would go to the streets and cry poor. They were pure scoundrels, but Zhenzi had no way to deal with them.

The situation in the south of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty is now extremely corrupt. Bandits are rampant in Fengyang Prefecture and Luzhou Prefecture, and Yangzhou Prefecture and Zhenjiang Prefecture have fallen into the hands of thieves. Although there are large troops stationed in Yingtian Prefecture, they are all used for self-protection. The land of Jiangnan is related to more than half of the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty, and it must not be lost. Even if it means selling everything, this rebellion must be put down.

Now that the army was about to march out, what should we do if we had no money? If we couldn't squeeze any money out of the officials, we could only squeeze the piss out of the frogs and the people.

We can only let the people suffer a little more, and hope that they can understand the difficulties of the court.

This is outrageous. The common people in northern Zhili of the Ming Dynasty can't even afford to eat, and they are expected to understand the difficulties of the imperial court. Why doesn't the imperial court understand their difficulties?

Chongzhen summoned all the officials again and discussed how to increase taxes and raise military funds. This time all the officials were very active. If you want to talk about squeezing the people, I won't be sleepy anymore. Soon, one measure after another was proposed. When it comes to the great lack of virtue, you can always trust the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that these tax items would make Dai Ying feel a little intolerable when he saw them, but Chongzhen was now eager to raise money, and he only thought that once he got through this period, he could lift these clauses. This was only a temporary emergency, and the people would be able to hold out a little longer, and it would be over soon.

Indeed, it did pass quickly.

He didn't know that this tax collection had plunged the entire north into a vortex of endless peasant uprisings.

But no matter what, the army that went south to quell the rebellion was more or less gathered.

Volume 275: Chapter Chapter : Dealing with the Gezuo Fifth Battalion

"Boss, are we really going to enter Jiang Han's territory?"

Ma Huihui's subordinates were a little hesitant about Ma Huihui's decision: "I heard that this guy is a tough guy. The 70,000 troops of the dog court couldn't take him down. If we go over like this, will it be..."

Ma Huihui glanced at his men and asked sarcastically, "What? Are you scared?"

"Who's afraid? We all have two arms and one head, why would I be afraid of him?!"

The subordinate started to talk tough, quite like Master Da Fei, but soon he changed his tone: "I just think that doing this is not a good idea and will damage the reputation of my rebel army."

You can't say you're cowardly, as you have to consider the reputation of the rebel army. You can't say you're running away, but you have to say it's a strategic retreat. You were driven into a ravine and couldn't get out. You have to say you're recuperating. In the bandit group, you have to be tough.

"Hmph, reputation? Our righteous army started the rebellion to fight against the tyranny of the Ming Dynasty. We are all brothers in the four seas, and we are all as close as one family under heaven. But what did Jiang Han do? He imitated the Ming Dynasty, labeling us as bandits, attacking us everywhere, and even posted his anti-bandit manifesto everywhere. We are bandits, so what is he?"

"My rebel army has made several overtures to him, but they have all rejected us. Since he refuses to take advantage of us, let's give him a taste of our power and let him know that our Gezuo Fifth Battalion is not to be bullied!"

"Humph, you Ma Huihui finally said something fair. I have disliked Jiang Han for a long time. We are all volunteers. If he says I am a thief, then I am a thief? He occupies the rich land of Yangzhou and pretends to be a good person. He must be taught a lesson!"

King Lin Yangcheng of the Troubled Times spoke up and agreed, making his position clear. He had long wanted to test Jiang Han's character, and besides, Yangzhou was such a rich place, who wouldn't be confused?
