Chapter 712: Haibo is still in danger (7)
As Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Pou Nu Army, said, fainting, and gradually became resistant to bad news. Zhang Ping'an, who was gradually attacked by bad news, fainted, but did not fall to the ground when Gu Xin asked him about the silver in order to mobilize troops. In the third year of Chongzhen, Zhang Ping'an led the Pou Nu Army to rob the robbers of Huang Taiji and the Qing robbers. In this world where the strong prey are preyed, the Pou Nu Army is undoubtedly the top predator, and the Qing Dynasty and the Mongolian Lin Danhan can only be regarded as prairie wolves. When tigers wanted to seize the food from the evil wolf, the group of wolves had almost no chance. Last year, the gold, silver and jewelry that Zhang Ping'an seized from the Qing Dynasty were equivalent to more than 13 million taels of patterned silver.
The civil yamen spent all the money and money spent in one year, which made Zhang Ping'an so angry that he vomited blood. He called several heads of the civil yamen to scold him and said that the Ming Dynasty only earned more than four million taels of silver a year, and such a large territory was quite prosperous. Your civil yamen spent three years of the Ming Dynasty a year, but he didn't see how much money you earned in the civil yamen. The civil yamen Prime Minister Chen Liang refuted on the spot that the Pou Nu Army controlled the territory not as good as the Ming Dynasty, and the population was not as large as the Ming Dynasty, but he could collect three million taxes every year. You fought everywhere all day long, and most of the money in the civil yamen was used by the Pou Nu Army.
It was a bit better for Zhang Huzhou, the guard of Ping'an City, and he didn't speak much. The Prime Minister of the Civil Affairs Office Chen Liang and Vice Premier Long Tao were more shameless when they were playing tricks. The result of the two days of quarrel was that the silver and money fighting in the Yixing camp had nothing to do with the civil affairs office, and the civil affairs office of the Pou Nucheng that had been harvested could be divided into two parts. To combat the attacks of Lin Danhan and the Ross people in Mongolia, the civil affairs office of the Battle of the Pou Nucheng could be issued, but when fighting against Jiannu, the civil affairs office of the Civil Affairs Office of the Civil Affairs Office of the Civil Affairs Office of the Pou Nucheng must approve the cost of the use of the silver and money. Gu Xin also knew that although Zhang was very shameless in his usual manner, he respected the rules set by the Pou Nucheng.
This time, Zhang Dashuai sent troops to hide the next military operation and fully informed the civil yamen that the subsequent military intentions would be exposed. Anyway, Zhang Dada was very capable of making money. He not only earned money from women's private parts but also from the baby's butt. Zhang Ping'an invented the use of diapers for babies on the basis of women's sanitary napkins. He first tried it for his children and showed it everywhere. In order to promote his jasmine fragrance flake cream, Zhang Ping'an went shirtless and took Lu Ruge and the Ji sisters to set up stalls in the most lively Nanshi City of Ponu City. The people in Ponu City were quite wealthy. They believed that Zhang Dashuai's things were fine products, and it could be said that they were the best luxury goods to show off their identities.
The only thing that made the male people in Ponucheng complain about was the aphrodisiac Dali Pills launched by Zhang Dashuai. This kind of aphrodisiac is very expensive. Zhang Dashuai said that he could control ten women without being soft. Fifteen Dali Pills with a box of Ponucheng silver coins were sold in total 130,000 boxes in various places. Of course, people have different physiques, and the effects are of course different. Most men do not seem to be as magical as Zhang Dashuai after taking Dashuai Pills after taking Dashuai Pills. However, no one is embarrassed to yell around the streets, and no one will admit their incompetence in this regard.
The most profitable transaction of Zhang Dashuai must be regarded as the crystal mirror he invented, which is the best symbol of identity and status. Even Zhang Dashuai's family can only use a four-foot mirror. If anyone has a five-foot mirror, it will definitely be placed in the living room for everyone to admire. The tax head of the civil yamen in Ponucheng almost sucks blood from Zhang Dashuai's industry. If Zhang Dashuai's warehouse does not make money, the tax revenue of the civil yamen will be affected. Zhang Ping'an also has an industry that makes money faster, that is the gold mines he controls on the Mongolian tribe territory. Although these five gold mines only have half a year mining season every year, they can bring nearly 300,000 taels of gold a year.
However, there are more than 3,000 Mongolian slaves who die of exhaustion in Zhang Dashuai's gold mine every year. Fortunately, there are many slaves that Zhang Dashuai has saved enough for him to struggle for a few years. It is precisely with these foundations that Gu Xin has fewer concerns in formulating combat planning. After asking questions, he waited for Boss Zhang to perform. Sure enough, Zhang Ping'an walked back to his seat like an old man, and his snot and tears gushed out. After watching for a long time, Gu Xin shook his head and whispered: "Ah! It's getting more and more unprofessional. The brewing time is too long. The snot is losing his identity before the tears. The tears should flow intermittently, which can better reflect the unforgettable heartache!..."
Gu Xin's nagging failed to continue, Zhang Ping'an was so angry that his hands were trembling, and these brothers were getting harder to fool. Before Zhang Ping'an could think of a word, he saw Gu Xin clapping and saying, "This is good! This expression is in place, and it is obvious that a wealthy slave who has only been released for thousands of years. If his feet are shaking a little bigger..."
"Get out! I'm going to castrate you! Give me..." Zhang Ping'an ran away before he finished sending Gu Xin. In Gu Xin's opinion, the money for the troops had been settled.
...........
Since Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict to close the border court, Zhangjiazhuang outside Zhimen, the west capital city of the capital city seemed particularly deserted. As the head of the Xuanwei envoy of the Ponucheng and the Ponuhou Mansion, Zheng Tai, who has multiple identities, is waiting for the arrival of an old friend. This person is Cao Huachun, a popular eunuch who is beside Emperor Chongzhen. Although Cao Huachun asked the eunuch before coming to speak to the little eunuch, he said that he had not seen him for many days and wanted to reminisce with Zheng Tai. But Zheng Tai certainly knew that Cao Huachun's purpose of coming here was related to the recent rumors in the capital city. As the year approached, it was suddenly circulating in the capital city that Ponuhou was preparing for a big battle.
As for the rumors about the battle between Ponuhou, it is unclear. Don’t see that Ponuhou hasn’t done anything bad recently, but Emperor Chongzhen once again cut off the border. Even ordinary people think that Ponuhou is vengeful and is holding back the bad. If Ponuhou has a bad water, someone will definitely bear the consequences for it. Last time Jiannu invaded the capital of the Ming Dynasty, several people were imprisoned for this. Although Sun Chengzong was retained by Emperor Chongzhen, he was still fined 500 taels of silver. Emperor Chongzhen himself could not escape the attack of the censors. Zhu Youjian, who had only been emperor for three years, became the earliest person to issue a crime edict in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
This self-criticism was regarded as a great humiliation by Emperor Chongzhen. If he did not teach Zhang Ping'an a lesson, Zhu Youjian couldn't bear the anger. Emperor Chongzhen taught Zhang Ping'an a lesson. Ponu Hou, who had never taken Emperor Chongzhen seriously, is now ready to fight back. For this reason, Cao Huachun specially condescended to Zhangjiazhuang. Zheng Tai replied that Ponu Hou had strict orders, and Zheng Tairu did not allow him to stay in the capital. Cao Huachun came out of Bei'anmen (today's north gate of the Forbidden City), walked westward on Huangjiang North Street, passed Taipingcang and inserted northward to the westward Xizhimen. Cao Huachun saw on the inner street of Xizhimen that the "Yin Guangju" and "Five Blessings" cargo warehouse under the Xuanwei Department of the Ponu City were still lively, and the more lively one was the "Jume Tower" on the east side of the "Five Blessings" cargo warehouse.
Cao Huachun, who lacks the tools for men to commit crimes, naturally would not be a brothel like "Jumeilou", but he heard a lot about the news here. In the past, the brothels here were mainly Mongolian beauties, and Lin Danhan and Mongolian concubines were the red-card girls here. Men's tastes are always changing, and Mongolian beauties will become bored if they play too much. The man in the capital even pickyly believes that the skin of Mongolian beauties is far inferior to that of our Yangzhou thin horse in the Ming Dynasty. However, recently "Jumeilou" launched a buy-one-free event. Playing a beautiful woman from the Western Regions can make Mongolian naked beauties fuel the fire.
Now, the man in the capital is blessed. They have never seen the beauties of the Western Regions. The shameless Ponuhou earning shameless money is always so innovative. As the first person in the inner court, Cao Huachun, after several years of hardship, has a deep understanding of the sinisterness of the officialdom. He has to admit that Wei Zhongxian's strategy to treat Ponuhou is undoubtedly correct. The Ponu army is hundreds of miles outside the Daming Pass, but it can determine the stability of the northern border of the capital. Recently, the capital's rumors that the Ponu army has made a big move. Just one rumor has caused the price of grain in the capital to soar. Millions of grain stored in Zhangjiazhuang were shipped at its highest price.
Before the grain could be transported out from the Xuanwei envoy in the capital, the news came from Zhangjiazhuang that Zhang Ping'an, a Marquis of Ponu, was preparing to attack Liaodong, controlled by Jiannu. This news that no one expected caused a sharp drop in the capital's grain prices. Eight large grain merchants went bankrupt in the capital. The Xuanwei envoy in the capital's capital made millions of silver based on rumors alone. Recently, there were rumors that Ponu's Marquis of Ponu suddenly became hysterical and stopped attacking Liaodong, but was preparing to attack Lin Danhan, Mongolia. These true and false news caused the grain prices in the capital to rise and fall, and even Emperor Chongzhen in the Forbidden City was alarmed.
Cao Huachun knew that Emperor Chongzhen revised the memorial day and night for the Ming Dynasty, and wanted to reverse the decline of the Ming Dynasty's twilight atmosphere. Cao Huachun reported that Liaodong was drought through the Jinyiwei. In order to solve the food shortage, the Qing Jiannu was preparing to invade the border again. The Qing cavalry once surrounded the Ming official army that was rushing to build the Daling River. A few months ago, Huang Taiji led the 60,000 elite troops of the Eight Banners and 130,000 Han army flags to prevent the Ming Dynasty from building the Daling River Castle. Sun Chengzong asked for an imperial edict to force the Ponu Hou Zhang Ping'an to restrain Jiannu. The Ponu Hou, who was busy transporting wealth, only sent the Ponu army to patrol the Duoyan army in the Mongolian Doyan army, arrested the Jiannu scouts and covered the battlefield. Huang Taiji's army that besieged the Daling River immediately stopped 300 miles away, and did not dare to go south.
Emperor Chongzhen had just closed the tent. If Ponuhou wanted to fight back, there were many tricks. Minister of War Sun Chengzong once reported to Emperor Chongzhen that the most likely consequence of closing the tent was that Ponuhou led his troops north to attack Lin Danhan. Once Ponuhou took Ponuhou's main force to leave Ponucheng, it would be equivalent to letting Jiannu bend the pass. Can the Ming border resist the re-invasion of Jiannu? But Emperor Chongzhen was already in a difficult position at this time, and Zhu Youjian's combination of punches against Ponuhou had already shot left and right, and it was unlikely to stop. As the eunuch of the Ming Dynasty's inner court, Cao Huachun had to go to Ponucheng Xuanwei's envoy to wipe his butt in the yamen stationed in Beijing. (To be continued)
