While the construction of the capital was in full swing outside Suzhou City, Li Jinzhong was not idle in Suzhou City. As an imperial envoy, he summoned the five heads of the Wang, Song, Liu, Zhang, and Han families, and read out Zhu Youxiao's instructions to these five families. The royal decree of the head of the family!
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The heads of the five families feel like a huge pie has been placed on their heads, they are so happy that they can¡¯t find their way out!
Although this title is the lowest, and has no fiefdom or salary, and cannot be hereditary, a title is a title. As long as you have a title, it is equivalent to having an official status. You no longer have to look at those officials with fear. My face is getting better!
As for what to do with this title after they die, Li Jinzhong has asked them to do it. In Li Jinzhong's words, this title was bought with money. As long as you are sensible, you will not worry about keeping your family rich!
Those five family heads are all elites who have been in the business world for decades. How can they not understand this truth? As soon as Li Jinzhong, the imperial envoy, said this, they were reassured!
After finishing the errands in Suzhou, Li Jinzhong¡¯s work is finished, and then Wang Shitou¡¯s work begins. Although the Royal Commercial Bank made its first move in Nanjing, the real boss is in Yuegang!
That is the place where goods from the East and West are distributed. Only when the treasures of the Royal Trading Company become famous in Yuegang can Zhu Youxiao's plan of exchanging sand and soil for gold and silver be realized!
Why is it said that sand and soil are exchanged for gold and silver?
Because the main products of the Royal Merchant House are glassware refined from sand and porcelain fired from clay. As for silk and tea, although they are also important goods, due to production limitations, domestic supply must be ensured first, so the export volume will not be too large. big!
After staying in Suzhou for ten days, Wang Shitou's dozens of large fleets of goods were loaded onto merchant ships provided by five companies in the southeast, and then sailed toward Yuegang!
Of course, Li Jinzhong and Cao Ling couldn't end their trip here. Li Jinzhong followed Wang Shitou by boat, while Cao Ling's two thousand men got rid of all the constraints and headed towards Yuegang by land!
Just as Zhu Youxiao¡¯s money-making army was heading towards the last stop, a fierce battle was taking place in the northeast of the Ming Empire!
Under Pyongyang City!
Nurhachi led 50,000 troops to Pyongyang and was preparing to knock down this important North Korean town!
This time Nurhachi attacked North Korea with a total of 50,000 people, but the real Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty only had 15,000. The rest were Han troops and the Korean troops who surrendered in the Battle of Sahur!
The generals around Nurhachi only brought Hu Erhan, Amin, and Jiang Hongli, a North Korean general who surrendered in the Battle of Sahur!
Although Nurhachi's army entered North Korea, they simply killed people and killed Buddhas. They not only plundered a large amount of grain, gold and silver, but also captured many slaves. It should be said that before the army arrived in Pyongyang, it had already obtained a large amount of wealth. Good harvest!
Originally, according to Hu Erhan and Amin's thinking, they had already made enough this time and they should retreat quickly to avoid their retreat being taken over by the Ming army!
However, Nurhaci insisted on capturing Pyongyang, because he felt that North Korea would be the granary of Hou Jin in the future. If he did not capture a big city like Pyongyang to shock the North Korean leader Li Hui, it would be very troublesome to get food and grass again!
But at this time, 50,000 troops, together with more than 30,000 plundered civilians, were gathered at the gate of Pyongyang, but Nurhachi had that very bad feeling again.
In Nurhaci¡¯s memory, although he didn¡¯t have many troops and few useful generals when he raised his army, there had never been a time when everything was stretched like this!
Of the original five ministers, only Hu Erhan is still in his prime and can fight in the north and south. The other four, Fei Yingdong, are dead, and they are all seriously ill. It is hard to say whether they can survive this year. He Heli and An Fei Yang Gudu has more than sixty people, and he can handle some political affairs just fine, but it is impossible to go into battle to kill the enemy!
Among the relatives, due to the rebellion of Nurhaci's younger brother Shuerhaqi, Nurhachi had to break his arm and directly lost many generals. Although Amin, the nephew, was left by Nurhachi, Amin's identity Neither his talent nor his talent can make people feel at ease!
Let¡¯s talk about Nurhaci¡¯s sons. Although the eldest son and the third son are both good warriors, especially the eldest son Chu Ying, who has outstanding military talents and is very brave in battle, he should never be so anxious to replace him. His father was executed by Nurhachi!
The third son, Mang Gurtai, was also considered brave and good at fighting, and was even known as the first warrior in Manchuria, but this guy was killed because of a rumor.His biological mother is such a tiger and wolf, even if it is his own son, Nurhachi would not dare to use it indiscriminately!
As for the second son Daishan, he is a filial child, but he is too honest. Whether it is fighting or government affairs, he is quite satisfactory and has no outstanding abilities. Otherwise, Nurhachi would not let him join He Heli and An Feiyanggu this time. Stay behind and be prepared for the Ming army's moves!
When he thought of the increasingly weird Ming army, Nurhaci became even more upset!
Although the original Ming army was large in number, without a figure like Li Chengliang, no matter how many people the Ming army had, in Nurhachi's eyes they were just like lambs in a pen, and they could be dealt with as they wished!
But the current Ming army has suddenly changed its appearance, as if it has changed from a lamb to a hungry wolf overnight. Although the Ming army has not yet taken action against Hou Jin, the vigor with which they bite Mongolia is terrifying. !
When he thought that his home base might be bitten by the Ming army at any time, Nurhachi's already somewhat cloudy eyes became sharp!
"Jiang Hongli!" Nurhachi shouted in a low voice!
"My slave is here!" Jiang Hongli immediately dismounted, trotted to Nurha's red horse and knelt down in front of it!
"Take your people and capture the city of Pyongyang. I will make you the commander of the Zhenghuang Banner. If you can't take it down, I will use your corpses to pave a road to the top of the city for me!" Nurhachi said expressionlessly. commanded!
"I obey my orders!" Jiang Hongli kowtowed heavily, trying his best to lower his posture and hide his frightened face!
"Go!" Nurhachi said in a slow tone: "As long as Pyongyang is captured, I will allow the warriors not to seal their swords for three days, and all the gold, silver and slaves they plundered will be theirs!"
"I guarantee with my head that this battle will surely capture Pyongyang and dedicate it to the Great Khan!" Jiang Hongli trembled slightly again, and then shouted at the top of his lungs!
Seeing Jiang Hongli's figure in a hurry when he left, Nurhachi showed a proud smile on his face. He used Koreans to beat Koreans, so that the few Jurchen warriors could be saved, because those Jurchen warriors are Nurhaci's real heroes. Family wealth!
Jiang Hongli returned to his 10,000 Korean troops. Looking at the soldiers who had been fed with the blood of Koreans these days, the fear in his heart somewhat weakened!
Although Jiang Hongli and his soldiers are all Koreans, they followed Nurhachi to attack North Korea this time without any mercy. Even the Jin army was able to achieve such gains thanks to these Koreans who were familiar with the terrain!
The reason why Jiang Hongli was scared just now is because this time they are no longer facing those villages or small towns, but the important town of Pyongyang in North Korea!
As an authentic North Korean, Jiang Hongli knows very well how strong the city of Pyongyang is. In Jiang Hongli¡¯s view, it is impossible to attack Pyongyang without hundreds of thousands of troops!
But now Jiang Hongli must lead 10,000 people to attack this fortified city, and he must move quickly, because Hu Erhan has already brought people behind him!
