Chapter 1297 Silver Bullet

The disaster relief silver the emperor tried every means was nothing more than the small pile of grain in front of him. The large grain households and officials and officials must have to leave in part. Only the grain will be left, and the silver will generally be at least 70% away.

You Shilu originally had to pay off such a little money, but this time he had already made up his mind to not have a single cent of money. First of all, he didn't want to use the money that the victims had snatched food from their mouths. In addition, he felt that it was not worth it. It was not enough to divide a hundred taels and remember the fraction given this time. If you ask for money again, wouldn't it really be like reaching out from the coffin and asking for money?

"The General is really confident in the ethics of his subordinates..." The government official has the natural distrust of the civil servants for military generals and a sense of moral superiority, although he did not take half a penny in this errand.

"I said no, just don't want it." You Shilu glared at him, and his murderous aura showed.

"The official knows..."

"roll!"

After being angrily scolded, the civil servant left in a mess with his entourage. This time, he naturally offended people, but You Shilu didn't care. He murmured: "The country asked them to govern like this, and he looked arrogant and arrogant!"

...

Zhang Xianzhong and Li Gui did not delay much in Ningxia Town. The clinic attracted a large number of people from the beginning and provided quite convenient for their activities.

In just two days, from You Shilu to ordinary garrison, at least one hundred taels, more than ten thousand taels, and all 100,000 silver was sent out within two or three days.

Under this attack of heavy gold and silver bullets, the entire Ningxia Town collapsed. From the generals to the garrison, they almost fell under the silver bullets of Hutchison. A considerable number of military officers from the middle and lower levels expressed their loyalty to Hutchison, and they almost immediately carried their swords and followed Hutchison.

Under this trend, Li Gui and Zhang Xianzhong stopped hiding their journey and took the cavalry team to swagger through Ningxia Town. Not only did they have no trouble, but they were welcomed and farewelled by generals from all over the country.

In Li Gui's words, it was a parade on torches in the dark night.

After this incident, it is estimated that the entire Ningxia Town and Guyuan and Gansu will know about the existence of Hutchison. Not only the top leaders, but even ordinary people cannot hide it.

However, no one would worry that the court would know that while bribing military generals, the civil servants did not pull them down, and they also gained benefits. Everyone made a fortune together, and there was no need for civil servants to report this matter at the risk of offending the entire Ningxia general.

Besides, it is better to have less than more things. There is no cover in other places, and Hutchison has not raised an army to rebel. What is more of this?

After the cavalry left Ningxia Town, they rushed to Yulin Town. Yulin was also one of the key points of this major event. Everyone walked along the side wall, avoiding villages and towns with too many people. They walked around the side walls with military forts, and made money all the way. The news spread much faster than the hunting cavalrymen. When Zhang Xianzhong and his team arrived near the post station outside Yulin City, the entire Yulin Town was as sensational as Ningxia Town.

All the generals were very excited.

It is not uncommon for someone to give gifts, but it is unheard of that matter like Hutchison, which is openly entrusted to the entire military town. There is no precedent at all, beyond people's imagination.

Most people give gifts for personal gain. They always have to give gifts if there is any reason, and at most they can only give three or five people.

It is unheard of for sending all military officers above the military garrison like Xiangheji.

"Old Zhang, let's not go to see the general first. Isn't it good to distribute the money like this?"

Under the blue sky and the sun, Yulin Town is in front of you, and to the north is full of yellow sand. You can see that Yulin City has been surrounded by yellow sand. From this time to the Qing Dynasty, Yulin desert control has always been a big problem. It took a lot of effort to clear and withdraw some of the desert surrounding Yulin.

Now it is when the city is filled with yellow sand. Looking out at the distance, there are gravel everywhere. In addition to the yellow sand, there are yellow slopes and yellow rivers that wind through the distance.

But there was a dazzling red color in front of me. The generals who ran over to get the money were afraid that others would not know that they would have a share. There were many people who came with the red flag, and everyone was wearing a big red cloak.

The Ming army was in red, and many of the cavalry accompanied him also had red cloaks or red war jackets on their bodies.

Yellow and red form a distinct pattern, the only thing missing is green woodland and blue lake water. This kind of scenery that is familiar and accustomed to on the grassland cannot be seen here.

A large number of generals and subordinates rushed over and rushed over, and they joined Zhang Xianzhong and others at the post station outside Yulin Town, and began to divide the silver at the post station.

"I've seen Shoujie He." Zhang Xianzhong was sweating profusely, and he handed over ten ingots of silver with a flashing silver to a garrison named He. The other party was as thin as a monkey. When he took the silver, his hand sank, but he still smiled and held the silver in his arms, and left with satisfaction.

When he said hello to Zhang Xianzhong, the other party just gave him a hug and said directly: "If you have something to do, Huang Hu, please speak."

Zhang Xianzhong said: "In that, the garrison will walk slowly."

Just like that, a guard and a few personal soldiers who were breathing fire in their eyes rode a horse away, and soon disappeared behind the long yellow sand.

Even a group of thousands of generals rushed over after hearing the news. After Zhang Xianzhong and Li Gui discussed, they decided to give each thousand taels. As for whether they would share it with their subordinates, they would not worry about this matter. Generally, they would get a lot of benefits. The officers who knew how to do things would give their subordinates a little. They would also have to drink soup under them. They would not be able to become generals for a long time. Even when they were on the battlefield, they would probably fly from behind. They would have a lot of money to do things, so they would not need to give it to others.

It was so arrogant that he had spent tens of thousands of taels all day, which was equivalent to half of the generals of Yulin Town who rushed over. If the governor and the inspector of the Ming Dynasty were more powerful, he should have written a stamp at home at this time.

Of course, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Gui were not worried about this. The money from the governor and the inspector had been sent over before they arrived in Yulin.

So far, what is sad or delightful is that no civil servant or general has rejected Hutchison's bribe.

There were even some officials and generals who were not very greedy for money and also received money.

Under the general trend, no one dared to refuse the silver that he would remember at the risk of offending the civil servants and generals in the town. If the silver is closed, it feels hot, but if it is not collected, it is even more hot.

In just a few days, the Ming Dynasty actually lost control of the two military towns of Yulin and Ningxia.

What Li Gui was worried about was not the Ming Dynasty court, but the general Chen Hongfan of Yulin. This general was just taken over last year. Hutchison had dealt with him several times. The recognized evaluation was that he was a small person, that is, a villain.

Greedy and powerless, small-minded, narrow-minded, and stingy.

As the general, it is the main evil that he cannot fight. Chen Hongfan failed in training and fighting.

In the northwest of the generals, this guy didn't know how he hit the fortune and became the general, and continued his official fortune until the Chongzhen Dynasty. When General Chen's inferior abilities were revealed in the Chongzhen Dynasty, he always had a glorious position in many famous defeats.

Of course, Hutchison has paid attention to such a general. Li Gui also obtained detailed information and knew that General Chen was not only greedy for money, but also a scrupulous person.

However, this also conforms to the definition of all villain characteristics, which is quite normal.

"Let's understand Chen Hongfan." Zhang Xianzhong touched his short beard. There was originally a beautiful bearded man there, and he was very uncomfortable with the short beard, so he could only put down his hand in vain.

Zhang Xianzhong said with a sad look: "Chen Hongfan is too greedy. He is different from General You. If we give tens of thousands of silver, General You will leave one of his own and all the rest will be distributed. Chen Hongfan will leave as much as he gives, and even if you give 30,000, he will think of 50,000. It is impossible to be polite to us. So in Ningxia Town, we can put down 30,000 and leave. Here, we have to divide the generals' silver first and leave 10,000 for Chen Hongfan... Don't worry, if you give him this number of silver, Chen Hongfan will not only not be angry, but also be very happy. He will hope to establish a long-term connection with us and hope to get money in the future. This silver can be bought in his hometown for 3,000 acres of land, and he will be very happy."

Li Gui patted Zhang Xianzhong's shoulder and said with sympathy: "You originally gave this subordinate to you, I feel wronged."

"Ballball, I didn't want to serve such a bad guy, and I couldn't remember Yulin, maybe we'd left long ago." Zhang Xianzhong sneered: "He also wanted to ask me to be his personal soldier and be his dream of Qingqiu."

"Let's go to Yulin to ask for a meeting in the evening?"

"No need." Zhang Xianzhong narrowed his eyes and sneered: "At most half an hour, he couldn't help but run over by himself. Let's prepare 10,000 taels, and give it to him later when he comes. This is the case here in Yulin. Let's go to the west of Baichengzi, and the matter there is more important."

As expected, as Zhang Xianzhong expected, or Chen Hongfan's bottom line was lower than Zhang Xianzhong expected. In less than half an hour, surrounded by dozens of personal soldiers, Yulin General Chen Hongfan rushed over.

"Look." Zhang Xianzhong looked at the general officer who was strode and smiled: "This is the general officer of our Ming Dynasty."

"Well," Li Gui nodded and said, "This is what the adults call silver bullet offensive. It seems to be quite effective."

Zhang Han was inspired by the later generations of Chang Kai Shen Changgong. During the Central Plains War, Changgong, who was supported by the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Consortium, waved his banknotes and bribed a large number of powerful generals. Several subordinates of the army turned against each other. Under the silver bullet offensive, hundreds of thousands of troops collapsed without fighting. Zhang Han just followed suit and used silver bullets to deal with the border officers of the Ming Dynasty. The effect was of course surprisingly good. After all, in terms of ethics, some of the warlords in later generations were much better than those of the Ming Dynasty.
