During the conversation, Ling Yiqu slightly tried a few words.

As expected, Qin Liangyu and the others knew almost nothing about the current affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

Even the emperor was in the Chu region next to Sichuan...

No one in the Qin family knew about such big news.

(Historically, the news of Chongzhen’s last appointment as governor of Sichuan came more than half a year late, and that was when Zhang Xianzhong did not block the situation very much.

In this time and space, the difficulty of message transmission can be seen...)

After all, Qin Liangyu is an old man in his 70s, but he is still in good health. People who have been fighting all year round will inevitably have hidden diseases.

In order to prevent Qin Liangyu from getting too excited, Ling Yiqu hurriedly recounted the recent major events.

He first told Qin Liangyu that the emperor was fine, even after the Ming Dynasty became increasingly prosperous.

Only then did Wei Wei gradually talk about how Li Zicheng surrounded the capital and how the emperor escaped...

……

After listening to Ling Yiqu's words, Qin Liangyu was filled with emotions...

When it was learned that the emperor had sent people twice to designate himself as the Marquis of Zhongzhen, in charge of all military affairs in Sichuan, and temporarily as the Chief of Suppression in Central Sichuan...

Qin Liangyu cried loudly:

"It's me, the Qin family, I'm so grateful to you!

Your Majesty, how can the Qin family repay your great kindness..."

Qin Liangyu cried loudly, and even couldn't breathe several times.

"aunt!"

Qin Yiming and others were shocked and hurriedly stepped forward and slapped Qin Liangyu on the back.

Ling Yiqu also consoled him:

"Old madam, please don't say that. Your Majesty also knows that it is difficult to exchange news in Sichuan.

Therefore, I specifically told Ling that I must tell the old lady to put myself first in everything!

old lady!

His Majesty said that he would still wait for the old lady to come to Beijing and paint a picture of her beauty under the lamp! "

Behind the scenes, poems and essays written by Chongzhen for Qin Liangyu were hung on the wall...

Qin Liangyu was not only the only woman whose biography was published separately, but also the only general in the entire history who was praised by four poems from the emperor.

"When I sweep the Huns with a dustpan, the whole group shouts with joy.

Try to see that in his Nianlin Pavilion, Danqing first draws the picture of beauties. "

The emperor's poems from the past sway slightly in the wind.

Qin Liangyu wiped away his tears, nodded and said:

"What Xianggong Ling said is that I must remain useful, so that His Majesty will sweep away the rebels!"

Ling Yiqu smiled and said:

“If it’s before March, this is a must, Madam.

However, today, the old lady no longer needs to do this! "

Qin Liangyu was surprised and asked:

"Zhang's thieves are running rampant, and Sichuan has been occupied by Zhang's thieves. It's time to regain central Sichuan.

Mr. Ling, you didn't let me take back Sichuan, why is that? "

Ling Yiqu laughed loudly:

"The old lady doesn't know yet——

Your Majesty won over Zheng Hongkui of the Zheng family, and obtained a section of the Zheng family with hundreds of ships to serve your Majesty.

Then, Zheng Zhilong’s son Zheng Sen, who cared about his country, stole Zheng Zhilong’s warship and wanted to go north to fight the Tartars...

Under His Majesty's plan, [-]% of Zheng's navy has been owned by the Ming Dynasty!

Your Majesty has made up for the shortcomings on the water!

So, what I mean is - open the Sichuan Gate first, and as long as the navy comes in, Zhang Xianzhong won't have anything to worry about! "

After listening to Ling Yiqu's words, Qin Liangyu laughed:

"Mr. Zheng's son, you are so great. If I ever see you again, I will pour you three glasses of wine for him!"

Ling Yiqu smiled and said:

"Old Madam, today's Ming Dynasty is no longer comparable to the past.

His Majesty once said something like this - Today we don't need to risk our troops, we can just crush them with our strength! "

He slowly started talking about the train again.

Qin Liangyu and everyone were surprised when they heard this.

Qin Yiming said:

"According to Mr. Ling's words, we only need to attack from the front and back to capture Kuizhou, and then we can retake Central Sichuan!"

"Correct!"

Ling Yiqu nodded:

"His Majesty's army has joined forces with Li Zicheng to surround and kill the 20 elite soldiers of Donglu.

After this battle, Donglu has no power to fight back!

With today's Ming Dynasty's national strength, it is no longer afraid of a protracted war.

As long as we can open the gate of Sichuan, we can gradually plot Sichuan.

The top priority is to capture Kuizhou first and open a channel for the fleet to transport supplies along the river! "

"Great!"

Qin Liangyu smiled and said:

"I, Mr. Xidong, are all born soldiers. The only thing that can restrain the Qin family is money.

Shizhu is a small place with insufficient money and food. Therefore, I cannot sign more troops.

Since these two things are no different from Ming Dynasty——

There is nothing to be afraid of with this pledge of loyalty! "

(Xidong: Also known as Xidong, it is the name given to the southwestern chieftains.

At that time, people were not called ethnic minorities, they were called certain chieftains.

Xidong is usually used instead of native people. )

Qin Liangyu said it extremely domineeringly.

But it’s also true.

Because of the cruel living environment, the people under the chieftain's rule were all elite soldiers.

Of course, because the living environment of the chieftains was not good, the equipment of the chieftains' army was also very poor.

Ling Yiqu laughed loudly:

"Old madam, do you know how much money your Majesty has stipulated must be spent within one year this year?"

"What?"

Qin Liangyu and others were dumbfounded...

Spending money, but there is still a mission?

No matter how imaginative they are, they still think that the "ZTE" mentioned by Ling Yiqu is at most comparable to when Zhang Juzheng presided over the government.

Listening to Ling Yiqu's words - I'm afraid he will be far richer than then!

Ling Yiqu chuckled:

"In the past, Mr. Zhang presided over the government and left 400 million in silver in the national treasury.

And His Majesty asked Fang Zhenghua to start a business war and bring back 5000 million taels of cash for the treasury! "

"what!"

Qin Liangyu and others were shocked!

There is money in Jiangnan, especially the wealthy gentry in Jiangnan, who can be said to be the richest group of people.

However, no matter how they thought about it, they never imagined that just one of the Eight Great Families could plunder 5000 million in silver!

God!

Little did they know that Huizhou merchants had begun to rise since the Song Dynasty.

The Yuan Dynasty was a carnival for the rich.

In the Ming Dynasty, although it was not as indulgent as the Yuan Dynasty, businessmen did not even have to pay taxes.

After so many years of accumulation, the family fortune is so huge!

You know, after 600 years of accumulation, the Eight Great Families, as the top wealthy families of this era, are so rich that the country looks down upon them...

Ling Yiqu smiled and said:

“Your Majesty must spend all this money within one year!

Therefore, the old lady is worried about money and food issues...

It's really not a problem!

Your Majesty said that even if the old lady provides [-] soldiers and horses, Your Majesty will pay the full amount of money! "

Qin Liangyu was overjoyed at first, then shocked, and said anxiously:

"Xianggong Ling is confused!

Why don't you advise your majesty? You know, as the old saying goes:

The years are good, the months are good, but the days are hard!

Since Eunuch Fang has brought back enough money for the imperial court to support him for decades, he should use it sparingly!

Always keep it in case of emergencies! "

Ling Yiqu smiled:

"Don't panic, old lady, but the old lady doesn't know——

Nowadays, it is no longer necessary to pay taxes when doing business!

Last month alone, the Ministry of Commerce collected more than 100 million silver dollars in taxes.

What's more, the monthly output value of the various workshops in Handu controlled by His Majesty is around 80 silver dollars, and it is getting more and more!

A small part of these goods are sold in our own control areas, but most of them are taken elsewhere.

What you get in exchange is money!

One tael of silver can be used to make two silver coins!

The old lady is relieved that even without using taxes, Your Majesty can still support the army. "
