Griffin Commander in the Late Ming Dynasty

The back of his head hit the ground, causing Shuldu to lose consciousness for a moment, but the next second, before he could react, a black object continued to enlarge in front of his eyes.

"Buzz!"

He didn't feel much pain as the blazing blade of light slashed his neck, severed his spine, burned his nerves, split his life in two, and for safety's sake, poked his brain again.

"Target cleared, continue patrol"

The biological scanning system carried by the Holy Shield can scan out all living things within a kilometer. In the ruins, all movable creatures are extremely clear in their eyes. People like Shuldu who think they can avoid detection by covering their mouths and noses and not breathing are simply dreaming.

There was a roar of machine guns in the distance. It was the scorpion beast firing. Obviously, it encountered an enemy, or it found prey. This description would be more appropriate.

During the battles of these days, the terrifying figure of the Scorpion Beast has become the nightmare of everyone in Phoenix City. Ever since its first appearance when it slowly walked out from the pile of corpses of three hundred people, it has terrified everyone who saw it. Extremely cruel, invincible, these are its labels.

No one is willing and no one is able to fight against such an enemy. This is a war machine built with iron and blood, without blood, tears, tirelessness and retreat.

Volume 339: Chapter Chapter : Digging a hole for profiteers

The combat meeting lasted for a long time. Although they won this time, the pressure on the Qing army was still very severe. How to ensure that the territory would not be affected by the war to the greatest extent and how to limit the damage caused by that group of people to a controllable range were the main topics.

It sounds outrageous to outsiders. You have 10,000 people fighting against 200,000 people. You are not thinking about how to win, but how to win the most profitably? However, the Volunteer Army is indeed very confident that they can win this battle. This is also the result of Jiang Han's influence.

In Jiang Han's words, we must despise our opponents strategically and take them seriously tactically. The Qing army is aggressive, but it is just a mob and will eventually be completely crushed by the wheels of our times.

That being said, there are quite a lot of things to pay attention to during the entire combat meeting.

After the meeting, Jiang Han leaned back in his chair tiredly, and Chuntian helped massage his temples from behind. For Jiang Han, thinking about so many things in one day was indeed a bit of a brain overload.

"Ah... my head feels so full..."

With his head resting on the back of the seat, Jiang Han tilted his head back and murmured:

"Thank you for your hard work, my commander."

Chuntian held Jiang Han's head with gentle techniques and soft tone, which relieved the throbbing pain in Jiang Han's head a lot.

"I never thought that one day I would really need to consider so many things, such as people's livelihood management, medical care, war deployment... These things were completely unrelated to me in the past... Now, every day when I open my eyes, these things that I once dared not even think about are piled up in front of me."

"Are you tired, Commander?"

"To be honest, it is a little bit, but at least I have fulfilled my parents' expectations of me. After all, they have always wanted me to be successful."

"What about your own, Commander?"

"Ok?"

"Dream...ideal...desire? I heard that all humans have such things. What is your dream, Commander?"

"Dream... If I were to talk about myself when I first entered society, I would say I wanted to buy a house. If I were to talk about myself when I entered university, I would say I wanted to become a big shot. Before that, I think... it should be to go to the moon."

"To the moon?"

Hearing the unexpected answer, Haruta couldn't help but look down at his commander.

"Yeah, I used to think that the moon is really beautiful. Moreover, the gravity on the moon is only one sixth of that on the earth. You can do somersaults in mid-air. The atmosphere is thin, so you can clearly see how beautiful the earth is... and... uh... haha, isn't that childish?"

Jiang Han was talking excitedly, but when he opened his eyes, he saw Chuntian looking at him tenderly with his head down. He felt very embarrassed for no reason and tried desperately to make up for it and change the subject.

"Um~ No." Shaking his head, his flaxen hair fluttered in front of Jiang Han's eyes. Chuntian leaned down and stared into Jiang Han's eyes: "I think the commander is super handsome."

"Hahaha, I just love listening to you talk. Sooner or later, I'll be flattered by you and become inflated."

Jiang Han was a little uncomfortable with this and tried to laugh off the strange atmosphere. He turned his head to avoid Chuntian's burning gaze, but Chuntian's hands held his head tightly and he could not move.

"Commander, I am serious."

Chuntian's face was rarely filled with seriousness, which stunned Jiang Han who was trying to move away. The two of them just stared at each other.

"That....Springfield?"

"Commander, we have an appointment."

"what?"

"When this is over, we'll go to the moon together"

Jiang Han wanted to say that it was nonsense. With the current technology, it was impossible to go to the moon. Even in the future, there would be no chance. But when the words came to his lips, he just said "OK".

After hearing this, Chuntian kissed Jiang Han on the mouth without saying a word. Hmm... there was a smell of tea leaves.

"Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang!! Something happened!!"

With a bang, Wang Dang pushed the door open and walked in. He had just said a few words when he saw the scene in front of him and was stunned.

"Did I come at the wrong time......?"

"Brother Ni!! If you don't have something serious going on today, I will definitely cut an eye out of you!!"

Damn it, twice!!! Do you think you are a human being? You better be in trouble!!! Our atmosphere is so good, the atmosphere and emotions are all here, the lips are all here, you ruined it for me.

"Brother Jiang, please forgive me, Brother Jiang, please forgive me, I really don't know..." Wang Dang kept bowing and begging for mercy: "I came here this time because I really have something important to tell you."

"What's the matter?" How big of a deal is it? You ruined such a great thing for me?

"These days, the front line is in an emergency, and the consumption of tung oil and alcohol is very high. Originally, this is nothing. There was a shortage of supply a while ago, but it was quickly sorted out. There is no problem with the storage of food, but I still bought some outside as a supplement. But these days, I don’t know who leaked the news that there was a shortage of food in the army a few days ago. I heard that the merchants seemed to be spreading that we don’t have enough tung oil and food here..."

Jiang Han frowned upon hearing this: "The merchant is spreading it?"

"Yes, I sent someone to inquire about it. The rumor is very detailed and it is said that the news came from the army. It said that we have been fighting the Tartars and the tung oil and food in the army are almost used up. Otherwise, why would we spend money to buy them at this critical moment? Now the rumor is getting more and more widespread. We have a lot of militiamen in the city. If this is reported to the military camp, it will affect the morale of the army and that will be a big deal. So I came to you to talk about this situation."

Merchants... tung oil... grain... these words went around in Jiang Han's mind for a few times, and suddenly he felt something was wrong: "How are the prices of grain and tung oil you have purchased recently?"

When Wang Dang mentioned this, he gave a bitter smile and said, "Don't mention it. Of course, the price has increased a lot. Originally, one stone of grain was only two taels at most, but now it costs more than four taels. Tung oil is also one tael more expensive... Moreover, I heard that some people are buying up grain in large quantities and eating as much as they can. Now the price of grain is likely to rise again..."

"did you buy it?"

"I bought it, but not much. It's just a supplement. I can't just live off it."

"I see...I understand."

Jiang Han understood, but Wang Dang was confused: "Brother Jiang, what did you understand? Is it a way to stabilize the morale of the army?"

“No, I understand what happened.”

"You understand now??? Brother Jiang, can you explain it clearly so that I can understand it too?"

"What's so difficult to understand? Our neighbors to the south are becoming restless again and want to cause trouble for us."

Jiang Han rolled his eyes. These people really were haunting him.

"If I'm right, the so-called news about our lack of food and tung oil was brought up by these Jiangnan merchants. They are really good at this. If one plan fails, they will come up with another one."

The words were so clear, if Wang Dang still didn't understand, he would be a fool. He nodded suddenly and said, "It's those unscrupulous merchants again! Are they trying to take advantage of the opportunity to hoard goods and make a fortune from us?"

"It's not just about making money. This time the news leaked out. I don't know which link is the problem. I will investigate later, but based on this information, these people will most likely conclude that we don't have enough food. In addition, you bought the food they raised the price before, which makes the news more certain. With their mindset, they will definitely start hoarding food and tung oil and take the opportunity to raise the price..."

Yes, these Jiangnan merchants were almost furious. In the final analysis, they were frightened by Jiang Han's previous behavior. We are going on strike, are you really going to kill people? After taking Zhenjiang and Changzhou, almost all the wealthy merchants in Changzhou were killed, which made all the wealthy merchants in Jiangnan feel insecure. Jiang Han's actions clearly conveyed a message that as long as he took them down, they would have no chance of survival, so they were naturally anxious.

Therefore, these merchants racked their brains to think of ways to trip up Jiang Han, but tripping him up was just a way to trip him up. After all, the strike was a losing business. At the same time, after the strike, a large number of merchants were killed by the damned Jiang thief. Everyone was afraid of death. At the same time, when doing business, it was enough to do a losing business once. How could they do it every time? The strike was obviously not feasible, so they could only go in another direction to deal with him.

That's food!

You know, to fight against an army of 200,000, Jiang Han must recruit soldiers, and recruiting soldiers will waste food. In addition, Jiang Han burns alcohol day and night in Yangzhou, which consumes a lot of food. Therefore, it is right to deal with him at the food point! In order to corrupt Jiang Han's people and find a piece of news, these wealthy businessmen spent a considerable price to get a reassurance that there was indeed a problem with the food supply in Jiang Han's army these days. Now, the wealthy businessmen finally feel at ease and can start their plan.

"The war that the Jiang bandit is waging has consumed a lot of food. A few days ago, I secretly distributed a batch of food and doubled the price just to test the Jiang bandit. I didn't expect that he would buy the doubled amount of food anyway. It seems that the Jiang bandit is almost certain to be short of food."

In a magnificent house, several wealthy businessmen were sitting together, discussing matters. The house was decorated with carved beams and painted rafters, and every detail was out of bounds. But who could control them?

"Haha, in this case, if we start hoarding food early, the food in Jianghan's territory will be even more scarce, and there will be chaos for a while. By then, we will have the final say on how much we want to sell and at what price. That thief Jiang, even if he has to bite the bullet, has to eat all this food!"

"That's right! By then, that thief Jiang will be short of such a large sum of money, and the army will be short of food. By then, the Tartar army of 200,000 will be able to capture Yangzhou with an unstoppable force. By then, if thief Jiang wants to take revenge, he can only go to the King of Hell! Hahahahaha!"

The wealthy businessmen burst into laughter, as if they had seen the scene of Jiang Han's head being hung on the city wall. As for the people of Yangzhou, what does it have to do with me? We are separated by the natural barrier of the Yangtze River. Just don't die in front of my door.

"Well, this is a God-given opportunity. If you miss this chance to become extremely rich, God will hate you. I hope that Jiang the Thief can hold on for a while longer."

"That's right. If we hold on a little longer, we will get a large sum of gold and silver. So, we should burn incense to the Buddha and pray that the thief Jiang can hold on a little longer?"

"Hahahaha, brother Wang, that's a great idea. I'll do it when I get back!"

The wealthy businessmen were toasting each other, their faces beaming with joy.

Listening to Jiang Han's analysis, Wang Dang couldn't help but frown: "This seems... indeed very tricky. The rise in food prices is fine for us in the army, but the civilians will be the first to bear the brunt. Isn't it going to be another disaster?"

Jiang Han waved his hand, signaling him not to worry: "It's okay, our distribution system is different. We use food coupons to sell grain, not silver. We can exchange as much grain as we have food coupons. If they raise the price, it won't have much impact on us."

"Then, ignore it?"

"Hmm!" Jiang Han waved his hands quickly: "How can I ignore it? With such a good opportunity to make a fortune, how can you not take me with you? We need to collect grain and spread the news. We are indeed very short of grain here, but we can't release it now. We have to wait a few days."

"But, Brother Jiang, the grain in the warehouse is sufficient for daily supply, but if the news spreads, what will happen if the common people take the grain coupons and intend to stockpile grain? Moreover... if we collect the grain, won't we be cheated for nothing? How can we make money?"

"It's okay. I sent my men overseas to rob... no, to purchase a batch of food. It's on the way and will arrive in a few days. You don't have to worry about the food problem."

"As for the price increase, if they want to raise the price, we will help them raise the price. These days, you can release a batch of grain and double the market price. The tung oil will also be sold at this price."

"Double it?" Wow, others have only increased by two taels, but you doubled it directly. You are really ruthless. It would be a waste of your talent if you don't become a profiteer!

"Just listen to me. After you've done all this, you can take me with you. For the time being, take 150,000 taels of silver, find a reliable person, pretend to be a wealthy businessman, and deposit it in banks all over Jiangnan. Later, I will let you deposit it again."

"Save money?" Wang Dang was a little confused. This was selling grain and saving silver at the same time. What was going on?

"Also, find someone to check the price of grain in various parts of Nanzhili, and report to me immediately on how much the price has increased."

"it is good"

Jiang Han thought about it again, and nodded after pondering for a long time: "Let's do this for now, this is all we can do for now, and I will make a new plan when our food arrives later."

"I see, but Brother Jiang, can you explain to me what exactly we are planning to do by doing this? I feel a little confused."

"Haha, it's right that you don't understand. When others charge forward, I wait and see. When others are fearful, I am greedy. When others sell off, I hold a full position. When others suffer a small loss, I go bankrupt..."

Humming a familiar jingle from his previous life, Jiang Han felt relaxed: You just need to know that in a few days, we will be able to see flying people.

Volume 340: Chapter I'm going to take a day off today

I caught a cold suddenly. My old pharyngitis relapsed. I coughed so hard that I felt dizzy when I tried to type in front of the computer. I spent hundreds of dollars on medicine. I am definitely not going to be able to do it today. It seems that my full attendance is gone again. Oh, it's God's will. I will take a rest tomorrow and adjust my state. I will make up for today's. I am really sorry to everyone.

Volume 341: Chapter Chapter : Means

It's said that we want to see flying people, but things are not that simple. Just the fact that there is a traitor in his own team is enough to make him upset. However, Jiang Han is very open-minded about it. After all, his actions are a bit advanced in today's world. If you let the people stand up, then those landlords will have no way to survive? In the feudal era, the end of going against the landlords was basically to seek death. That is to say, Jiang Han, whose martial arts value is basically enough to walk sideways, dared to do so.

It was normal for some selfish people to disagree with me in the team. After all, if the education was not up to par, the thinking would certainly not be up to par. If the thinking was not up to par, this kind of situation would naturally occur. In the future, even such an idealistic team would have many bad apples, not to mention myself? Jiang Han was not too frustrated or disappointed about this. He blamed himself for not leading the team well. If there was a traitor, he could just kill him. It was not worth it to lose his mind over such a thing.

Thinking of this, he turned around and sent a message to 45: "There is a traitor, terminate the transaction!"

45: "?"

"Sister 45, there are bad people among the crowd"

45: "What are you talking about? If you have something to say, please speak up."

"It's like this..." Jiang Han briefly told Sister 45 about the current situation in the communication: "At present, the situation is like this, so this matter still needs your follow-up. In addition, my plan is also about to start, and I also need someone from your side to help keep an eye on it. This is a relatively important matter, and there can't be any omissions in it."

"Tsk, I thought it was something serious. For such a small matter, you can just tell the people in the Intelligence Department and it will be over. You're really awesome for coming to me all the way."

"Doesn't this show that you are capable? You also know that you are the people I trust the most in this world. I would not feel at ease if I leave it to someone else."

"...I know. I really admire you."

When it came to topics other than BTS's transfer and rigid materials, 45 was very easy to talk to. She also knew the importance of the matter and agreed without saying much.

"Thanks for your hard work"

Jiang Han was 45% confident in handing this matter over to Sister . Next, he only needed to focus on how to make these profiteers perform the three great stunts: Thomas turns on the tree, carp diving into the sea, and flying acrobatics.

But it was already late today, and it was time to rest. Besides, Chuntian next door had been waiting for a long time. Although his thoughts were interrupted just now, it would be a lie to say that Jiang Han was not moved. Now that the matter was over, how could he still endure it?

"Elbow! Follow me into the house!"

Nothing happened that night. The next day, Jiang Han came to the conference hall with a daze on his legs.

"Brother Jiang, you're here!!"

Wang Dang also did not sleep well last night. After listening to Jiang Han's explanation, he couldn't fall asleep no matter how much he thought about it. He arrived at the conference hall early in the morning and waited. He saw Jiang Han staggering towards him from a distance, so he quickly took two steps forward to support him. Seeing Jiang Han's appearance, he couldn't help but give him some advice.

"Brother Jiang, although the beauty is beautiful, you still need to exercise restraint."

Jiang Han smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to explain. He did go a little too far last night, and he was also blinded by lust. How could you bear it if a mortal body competed with a human?

"I know a doctor who has some good prescriptions for nourishing yin, strengthening yang, and replenishing qi and blood. How about that, Brother Jiang? How about I introduce them to you?"

Wang Dang whispered to Jiang Han.
