Chapter 913 Digging a Pit

"The autumn wind is blowing."

A gust of cool breeze blew on everyone's body, and the heat was swept away by the cool breeze. Zhang Han's clothes were blown to make a loud noise. He sighed and said to everyone: "It's another golden autumn. Is this the case this year?"

"You always have to take a rest and take a breath." Li Shenming said in a relaxed tone: "You have said that if you can't eat a fat man in one bite, you have to choke carefully if you want to eat a full bite. In the past two years, we have consolidated the territory we have won well and do a good job in the Russians' trade route. When we can earn 8 million taels a year, it will be the time to expand our army and attack the territory again."

Sun Jingting had no interface. He repeated the number Li Shenming said in a little fascinated manner: "Eight million taels..."

Zhang Han laughed and said, "Brother Zunlu is really brave to think and say it, but this sounds like arousing and exciting person. It's very good."

Sun Jingting also smiled and said, "A year after year, I will catch up with the Ming Dynasty court, which has more than ten provinces and billions of people. Who dares to believe it if you say it? But this is the fact that iron tools are among the people in the north, and this profit is hundreds of thousands. Mules and horses are in the same accounting, which is more than one million. Copper and copper coins are in the same way. Trade with the Eastern Lu has exceeded one million. Trade with the Northern Lu is in the same way. Trade with hundreds of thousands. He Yusheng's semicolon stores in various parts of the north have made hundreds of thousands. The annual income is more than five million, to eight million or even ten million. Is it impossible to obtain?"

Everyone laughed silently, and Sun Jingting was rare to show his unrestrained and wild side like this. People were all over the place as he said, and they forgot to speak for a while. Only the cool breeze in early autumn blew the rustling sound of flowers, plants and trees.

...

The next day, Sun Jingting led the military order drafted by the Military Order to Zhang Han's residence.

He was very anxious because Zhang Han had been back for several days. If the incident was leaked, it would likely cause unpredictable consequences. Although the military department was not afraid of any adverse actions that the Datong garrison would do, he did not want to make those officials confused because Zhang Han was here. If he really broke up, it might be a fatal blow to He Yusheng's fragile financial system at this stage.

The military department has the same view as Zhang Han. When Russian trade roads start to make profits, Taiwan's trade profits, and the profits of the Eastern and Northern Husbands, the total of more than millions of each party can be more than one million, and He Yusheng can bear the price of rebellion with the court.

Otherwise, once there is a change, you will lose at least three million, which is now unbearable for Yusheng.

This is the biggest concern of the Ma Chaoren brothers, Li Dayong, Jiang Dalin and Li Guobin.

"Can you go for a morning jog?"

When they arrived at the residence, Sun Jingting saw Wu Qi, Zhou Rui, Jiang Yi and others outside the door, and he didn't realize it was a little strange.

"I arrived at the emergency pond report in the middle of the night." Wu Qi said: "The Lord summoned Wang Changfu and others to the sand table room to study military information overnight, and it has been late at night."

"What urgent military information is it?" Sun Jingting's heart was tight at first, but later he thought that if it was a major military information, Zhang Han would not have been able to call him, Li Shenming and others to attend the meeting, so he felt a little relieved.

"This..." Wu Qi hesitated for a moment, and saw that Sun Jingting was a little far away, so he should not hear his conversation with Sun Jingting. After observing, he replied: "It was the Tangbao of the Gun Cavalry Regiment. They fought with the Donglu, and more than 3,000 people were against more than 4,000 people, Donglu used his stairs to fight against the cavalry, and the Gun Cavalry used his stairs to fight against the cavalry, and the Gun Cavalry used his stairs to fight against the cavalry.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) The soldiers rushed forward, and the enemy's formation was still in motion, so they lost their fighting opportunity. Although there were fired rounds of muskets, the effect was not as good as the Donglu's strong bow and arrow. In this battle, our army killed more than 500 people and many injured people. The Donglu was estimated to have been killed by about 200 people. Fortunately, there were more white armors, nearly 100 people. The master said that killing so many white armors alone is not considered a loss."

When Sun Jingting first heard that the cavalry of the gun failed to charge and suffered a greater loss than the Donglu, his eyes were black and he almost fell to the ground.

Everyone in Lizhuang has a belief that all the troops created by Zhang Han are invincible and powerful, and small-scale battles may occasionally fail, but if the army gathers together and fights the enemy, there is absolutely no possibility of defeat.

The attendants such as Wu Qi may also have this feeling, so the atmosphere is solemn and everyone is very nervous.

"Wen Lan, what's the situation?"

There was no need to communicate Sun Jingting's identity, so Wu Qi directly took him into the signing room.

Wang Changfu and others were smoking and drinking tea to refresh themselves, and their eyes were red.

Zhang Han's expression was very cheerful and he was not depressed by the unfavorable war.

He saw Sun Jingting's anxious look on his face and said with a smile: "If the Ming Guanning Army killed nearly a hundred and white-armored elites with three thousand to four thousand Eastern Captains, I'm afraid the court would not know how happy it was. For us, everyone would look unlucky. Why is that?"

Sun Jingting smiled bitterly and said, "You can always be humorous!"

Zhang Han said seriously: "I am not humorous, I am talking about the facts. We fought with the Beilu for less than two years, and there were only two real battles. We defended Jining Fort once, we attacked Xiaohekou, and attacked Yulin with less and more. But after all, our army only fought several major battles, and the rest were small-scale wars of about a thousand people. Our opponent was the weakest Beilu, so everyone was proud and proud, and they regarded us as the most powerful army in the world? I told me that this time it would be good to remind everyone, so that everyone knew that our merchant army was only a new army that had been established for a few years. Although it was getting stronger and stronger, it was still far from being a real first-class position."

Sun Jingting still couldn't accept it and said, "I thought the merchant army had spent such a big price, and should be stronger than the Beilu and Donglu."

"Hmph." Zhang Han snorted coldly and said, "It's already very good! The gun cavalry can fight with more opponents than him, so it's better to be cautious when the Donglu leads the troops and are unwilling to hedge the result with cavalry. Although they can win, they will not easily expand the results of the battle. If it's a more experienced Mangguertai, Abatai, or Huang Taiji lead, I'm afraid that the gun cavalry can return a thousand people. The Donglu may just die at most 300 more people!"

At this time, Zhang Han looked at the officers present and said sternly: "No one should look dejected. When Zhou Yao comes, you will know what the Donglu is. In the Battle of Sarhu, the more than 100,000 troops mobilized by the Ming Dynasty were all elite troops of Liaozhen and Xuandaji Town, as well as the southwest Sichuan soldiers were also powerful troops in the south. More than 100,000 war soldiers fought against the Donglu, who had only 60,000 flags, and they fought all the Mo! The battle between Liaoyang and Shenyang was also the battle. Sixty thousand Liao soldiers guarded Shenyang, sixty thousand people guarded Liaoyang, twenty thousand Zhejiang soldiers and Sichuan soldiers came to support along the river, and more than 100,000 strong troops were swept by the Eight Banners within a few days! You said that the Shang army was very strong, but you should also see that when the Donglu was raised by the old slaves, they were more than 100,000 strong troops. As a result, they were swept by the Eight Banners within a few days! You said that the Shang army was very strong, but you should also see that the Donglu was the rise of the old slaves.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) We are fighting, and now we have fought a large-scale war of more than 200,000 people. Compared with others, we are just a little bit worse."

Wang Changfu said at this time: "The worrying thing was originally the reason for the failure of the gun cavalry... The Donglu bows and arrows were sharp, and the power of the cavalry was far less than that. However, the lancers broke the insurgent formation or hedging, and a large number of soldiers were lost in one battle, so I was very worried. But if the adults pulled out a little, the cavalry was reorganized and trained, the direction was there, and everyone was calm. After the meeting, we must calm the morale of the army. The general direction was what the meeting said and what the adults said now."

Many officers nodded. At this time, Zhang Han waved his hand and all the officers stood up to salute the room. Their military boots touched, made a neat sound, and then retreated one after another.

At this time, Li Shenming also rushed over and stayed with Wang Changfu to discuss the aftermath.

"The Shangyi Marine Department has ordered them to be on standby in Zuotun Guard." Zhang Han had the latest news summary at hand, and he said: "The thing below is to change the entire system of the gun cavalry. Facts have proved that effective means for the Northern Barbarians are useless to the Eastern Barbarians. Going on the grassland, there is enough hunting cavalry on the grassland to stop the Northern Barbarians from moving, and the gun cavalry is still aimed at the Eastern Barbarians."

"What should I do about military law?" Li Shenming said uneasy: "The soldiers were defeated for the first time, and people were determined. If this is the case..."

"The significance of establishing a military law department is to tell everyone that military law is the most important under any circumstances." Zhang Han said to Sun Jingting: "Military orders are issued, and all previous disposals will be the same. Those who are not arrested will be arrested, and those who should be arrested will be arrested."

Li Shenming said with a sinister face: "Aren't you afraid of changes in the past? The soldiers were defeated at the beginning, and there were serious casualties. If the military and judicial department went to arrest people, what happened in anger was not because they were afraid of anything, but because they were afraid of causing bad public opinion."

Zhang Han said impatiently: "I ignore this matter. The principle is to declare the importance of military discipline, and then we must handle the morale of the military. What is the important and what is light? The people of the Military and Justice Department must figure it out and handle it themselves. I cannot handle everything myself in my hands, as I will exhaust me to death."

After the officers left, Zhang, Li and Sun's faces became even more gloomy.

Li Shenming said: "It seems that Donglu feels that the smell is wrong."

"That's because they are not stupid after all." Zhang Han smiled and said, "More than one million gold and silver flow out a year, and the silver they snatched hard has been handed over to us. What do they want?"

Sun Jingting said: "They only need food and cloth, as long as they still need cloth, we will be profitable and the losses are not too great."

Li Shenming nodded and said, "That's right, those valuable goods and groceries are the second-in-commands we transfer, and the profit margin we get is very limited. The longer the grain and cloth, the higher the proportion of our own production, the higher the amount of our own production. In this way, the losses are very limited."

"Even if that..." Sun Jingting said bitterly: "This year, the loss will be at least 300,000 to 400,000 yuan, which is another big pit!"

"Brother Xiaozheng, don't worry." Zhang Han said: "This pit is very small, we can always walk through it."

Zhang Han's face showed a cold look, and he said, "Donglu has cheated us now, it's nothing. The pit we dug for them in the future will kill them!"
