Chapter 897 The battle is not over yet
The three most famous Wanli campaigns in history have ended inadvertently.
There is nothing to be motivated, no earth-shaking, and no heroic stories.
The smell of copper inside and outside is full of money.
Even Li Rusong and the others felt deeply about this. The Southwest Battle is really different from the Battle of Noble. The lack of joy of victory is mainly due to the lack of difficulties and the logistics is too awesome. I feel that even the logistics, the firearm, and the dogs can win.
Fortunately, they focused on experimenting with new weapons at the beginning. Even if they killed Yang Yinglong, they did not celebrate. Several commanders sat in Yang Yinglong's luxurious palace to summarize what other shortcomings of new firearms. With so many firearms, how should we arrange troops and plan to continue to move south in the future.
Having said that, neither Yang Yinglong nor Hebai have the strength to fight against the Ming Dynasty. After all, the Ming Dynasty has just experienced a small rejuvenation, and you can also say that they were born at the wrong time. If they could be delayed until the Tianqi and Chongzhen, there would probably be a dozen.
The good news has reached the capital, but...but it has not happened.
The only thing everyone is celebrating is that Kou Weisha gave birth to another son.
Yinuoyaxing.
"Congratulations, congratulations, Mr. Kou, congratulations to your mansion for adding new people."
In the conference room, Zhou Feng, Qin Zhuang and other major shareholders saw Kou Shouxin enter the room, and immediately stood up and bowed to congratulate him.
"Thank you! Thank you!"
This congratulation made Kou Shouxin very happy. Although his daughter was a little willful, she was really very capable. She gave birth to another son.
hey-hey...!
After congratulations, Kou Shouxin discovered that the major shareholders gathered here. This situation has not happened for a long time because they are in Weihui Mansion most of the time, but he is as clear as a mirror and he said, "There are all this people!"
Zhou Feng smiled awkwardly and said, "Guest Guo's battles this year are invincible. Ningxia is already in his pocket, and Bozhou will definitely not be able to escape there. This makes it difficult to find a lot of money for our shares."
Cao Da immediately said: "Brother Zhou said it, and it is precisely because of this that we think the stock price of our Yakuza is too low. We must be cautious about the increase in stocks at the end of this year!"
Duan Changcun said: "We did not pay dividends in the past two years. Do we have to increase some shares to give us this year?"
"Yes! It's not reasonable to never give out bonuses!"
"We know that whether it is Bozhou or Ningxia, we have to spend a lot of money. We don't want silver, we just need shares."
......
Everyone is just saying something, but the purpose is only one, so they require increasing their shares in proportion.
In the past few years, they all hoped to directly distribute dividends, just to give them silver, but this time they were different. The reason is that now, they are more crazy about seeking shares outside than Kou Shouxin, who was asking for children at the beginning, because the north and south blossomed, and the profits that could be born here could not be calculated.
They finally realized that it would be enough to eat with their shares, which was much more fragrant than silver.
Nowadays, those who have sold their shares are all pushing their heads against the door panel. As long as you wait for another month and wait for another month, the value of the shares in your hands can double, which is equivalent to losing as much as you sell.
In addition, there is another reason.
Some people in the interest groups know that they are too late to make a comeback and must place bets on both sides. They are waiting for the treasury to increase their stocks with a lot of money, which makes it difficult to find the market!
After they finished speaking, Kou Shouxin laughed and said, "Everyone, the previous stock increase plan has been abolished. As for how to increase it, we have to wait until Guo Dan comes back."
Zhou Feng and the others breathed a little relieved when they heard this.
They were afraid that Kou Weisha would increase his stock according to the original plan, so he would lose a lot.
......
Ganqing Palace.
Wanli closed the good news that had just been heard from the southwest, with a blank expression on his face, and just asked Zhang Cheng: "Is anyone in the court talking about this?"
Zhang Cheng said truthfully: "Report to Your Majesty, some ministers in the court impeached Ye Mengxiong to take revenge and encouraged the local chieftains to kill Yang Yinglong's family."
"The memorial was said because Yang Yinglong first dug up someone's ancestral grave and did it too well. No wonder the chieftains were impulsive. This was understandable!"
Wanli waved his hand lightly, "I won't hold them accountable this time, and warn them, don't do this next time."
In fact, even if Ye Mengxiong doesn't kill him, he will kill him. He can't keep the Yang family, so he feels very happy, and it can be said that the Yang family's thorn was pulled out.
"Your Majesty is wise, I also think that Yang Yinglong deserves his sins."
Zhang Cheng hurriedly said, "Therefore, many officials in Chuangui, Huguang and other places submitted memorials, saying that many local people were grateful to Your Majesty for sending troops this time, and they all suffered from the Yang family."
"Yeah?"
Wanli just smiled slightly, and was just coming to curry favor with him now, and said, "This New Year's Day is coming soon. Let's all be exempted from the New Year's Day ceremony next year, sacrifices to heaven and earth, ancestor worship, and other rituals."
Zhang Cheng was stunned and said, "Your Majesty, you have achieved such great achievements this year and deserve to worship the heaven and earth and ancestors."
Wanli snorted softly: "If I really do this, they will say that I am so happy with the merits, and that will only make me angry at that time."
Zhang Cheng said embarrassedly.
There is really this possibility.
Wanli said again: "Besides, I have never liked these things. If I sacrifice to heaven and earth, they blamed my natural disasters on my lack of virtue and could blame me for anything. If I worship my ancestors, they would use the ancestor system to suppress me. It's really outrageous. Besides, if I don't do these things, I can save some money and I can use them to buy shares at that time."
He became more and more disgusted with etiquette and liked shares more and more.
Discount all!
"I obey the order."
Zhang Cheng asked again: "Your Majesty, if the New Year's Day meeting is cancelled, then the rewards to the ministers...!"
Every year during the Chinese New Year, the emperor has to reward some important officials, and only those who are brave will be given this reward.
But now Wanli feels that there is no need for this, and said, "I have prepared this gift for a long time. You will frame all the memorials that oppose my troops from you in red silk, and then give them to them on the first day of the Lunar New Year to have a good New Year."
Zhang Cheng couldn't help but look at Wanli. Can he live a good year? But he soon understood.
Whether it is the Ningxia Battle or the Bozhou Battle, it is all about the struggle between the emperor and the ministers.
In other words, this battle has not really ended yet, and Wanli has not yet come out to meet the ministers.
Wanli actually wants to tell them that they should not think that things will end here, and that they will be beaten passively like before. I remember everything and keep all the memorials, but the New Year is about to be celebrated. Let you have a stable New Year first, and we will settle the New Year after the New Year.
Although the court was silent about the victory in the north and south, basically no ministers congratulated the emperor and praised Wanli. Of course, they also had reasons. Although it was two major wars, the southwest was nominally encircled and suppressed bandits, and Ningxia also contracted Guo Dan, so there was no reason to celebrate!
But whether they admit it or not, the fact is that Wanli won a great victory. Wanli has already told them with facts that I have to rely on you, and I can also be able to do civil and military achievements without you.
This is very interesting.
In the past, Wanli was just a small boat in the vast sea of officials. He could only embrace the bureaucrats and had no choice but to rely on them. But now Guo Dan directly sent him a luxury passenger plane and he floated into the air.
Wanli suddenly asked again: "When will Guo Dan come back?"
Zhang Cheng said: "I guess I will not come back after the New Year's Day, because news came from there not long ago that Ningxia will jointly send troops with the Tumote tribes to attack Tuman, Luohuochi and other tribes."
"To celebrate the New Year?" Wanli pondered for a moment and said, "You send someone to send a message to him and ask him to come back as soon as possible. He will not be able to fight, so why do you stay there?"
For their imperial and Shang combination, the real battle was in the court, not in Ningxia. The fat man didn't want Guo Dan to waste too much time in Ningxia.
"I obey the order."
Zhang Cheng bowed his hand.
Now the capital has been covered with heavy snow, and many commercial activities have stopped. Although Ningxia entered the cold winter early, it did not snow there. This environment has created a very good condition for Ningxia's economic recovery, and a large number of caravans are advancing in the bitter cold wind.
This time is money!
Ningxia's external combat is also underway, but...
It was just much smoother than Guo Dan expected. Without a single blow, the tribes themselves divided, because Mongolia is a nomadic people, and there are many merchants in each tribe. In other words, whether it is the Tuman tribe or the Luohuo Chi tribe, some people are eager to trade with Ningxia.
Especially these merchants have traded with Weihui Mansion, and they also have a good impression of Guo Dan. In addition, they heard that Guo Dan would put Yinnuo insurance in the Tumote tribe, so many people chose to defect to the Tumote tribe.
This one goes up and down, so there is basically no need to fight.
Those who were unwilling to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty were also very straightforward and migrated westward. The Mongols were more open-minded, but there was no saying that the emperor guarded the country's gates. After all, they had no doors. They did not stay here, and they had their own place to stay. When the emperor became stronger, the emperor would come back.
"Guo Dan, although the battle is almost over, I will not refund the money!"
Taimur laughed happily.
Basically, there were no two wars, and the Ming army's artillery was useless. It can be said that it was 200,000 taels of free. I was so happy.
Tatamu also joked: "Guo Dan, this should be the most loss-making deal you have done."
"It can't be said to be a loss. After all, my purpose is to ensure that our trade can go smoothly. The faster you complete it, it will naturally be a good thing for me. I spent this money very happily."
Guo Dan smiled slightly, but was cursing in her heart, MMP, I was really fooled by the Japanese. If I had known this was so simple, I would have taken out one hundred thousand taels. Alas... It's such a wise man who has been thinking a lot, and he will definitely make a mistake!
However, the suspension of the war also allowed Guo Dan to return to Beijing as soon as possible.
Chapter completed!
