The battle at the Ulsan border crossing lasted just over five hours. As soon as the motley army led by Guo Huben entered the battlefield, the battle ended. The soldiers participating in the battle in Ulsan were busy catching prisoners. Guo Huben shouted that he was out of luck. Obviously, he couldn't get military exploits, so he could only order his subordinates to join the ranks of capturing prisoners.

The battle commanded by Chu Chaohui was fought swiftly and the results were brilliant. Of the 1000 troops, less than 2000 escaped from the battlefield. The commander Xi Sima was captured alive, and the other generals were either killed or captured. Or surrender, more than 2000 people died in the battle of Huben, the capital of the king, more than [-] were injured, and about [-] others surrendered to Huben.Compared with Huben, the capital of the king, the number of casualties of the auxiliary soldiers who did not fight has doubled, with more than [-] corpses and about [-] lightly and severely wounded.

Most of the casualties in the royal capital were trampled by their own people in the chaos, and the number of people who died at the hands of soldiers in Ulsan was less than a thousand.The Ulsan army only lost more than 100 soldiers. Most of these lost soldiers were Wei Ren's subordinates. There were more than 300 lightly and seriously wounded in the entire army.

After the war, the miscellaneous troops who did not enter the battlefield were responsible for guarding the prisoners and cleaning the battlefield.The vigorously surrendered tigers were asked to dig pits to bury their bodies. The seriously wounded on both sides were carried by the tigers' captives to the temporary hospital next to the battlefield. Jiang Gui led more than 100 doctors into intense rescue. In the end, Chu Chaohui had to send more than 7000 soldiers to assist them. The soldiers in the valley and Nanbu had received simple medical training, and the slightly injured were taken care of by these soldiers.Of course, the Ulsan soldiers were rescued first, and after all the lightly wounded in Ulsan were treated, it was the turn of the seriously wounded in the Royal Capital Army.

The large number of wounded soldiers gave Chu Chaohui a headache, but the capture after cleaning the battlefield made Chu Chaohui grin.A total of 250 horses, [-] intact chariots, [-] pairs of complete armor, tens of thousands of pieces of armor, and countless weapons were confiscated from the battlefield.Chu Chaohui calculated the cost of the war, and the value of the thousands of horses alone could allow Ulsan to recover the cost of sending troops.

"Xi Sima, stay safe and sound!" Chu Chaohui greeted the tied-up enemy general with a smile.

"Bah! A treacherous villain, playing with sorcery, it's useless to win!" Xi Sima yelled at Chu Chaohui when he saw him.

Because Chu Chaohui ordered the soldiers to disregard their identities, all the armor and weapons on the captives must be confiscated, and Xi Sima's set of soft armor purchased with a lot of money from the Western Regions was also taken away. Now this general who commands an army of [-] is alone Wearing underwear, the whole person is in a mess.

"Haha, my skills are not as good as people's. My army in Ulsan waited for your army for an hour, and your attack was initiated by your army first. If Chu is a treacherous villain and launches an attack when your army's position is unstable, what will happen to your army? How will it be better than now?" Chu Chaohui raised his eyebrows, not angry at all, he didn't need to waste his words on this defeated general, because Xi Sima was destined to be executed, he helped Yiji win the throne, There was too much blood on his body, it was impossible for General Hussars or Xihou to let him go.

"We talked about etiquette in the confrontation, but why didn't our army treat each other with courtesy after surrendering? Not only did we confiscate our weapons, but also took away Tiger Ben's battle clothes." Xi Sima was speechless when he was scolded by Chu Chaohui, thinking of his current embarrassment, Found the reason for the blame again.

Chu Chaohui sneered, this Xi Sima didn’t know how he got into the position of Sima, the King Wu was not so pedantic in his wars more than 20 years ago, if King Wu paid attention to the courtesy of a gentleman to the defeated side at that time, the royal family of Wei would not Only the three Wei Shen brothers are left, and those small vassal states will not be included in the territory of Wu State, and Wu State will not deter the surrounding vassal states for more than 20 years.

"Is it necessary to pay attention to the etiquette of a gentleman when dealing with a thief? For a villain, Chu has always liked an tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye!" Chu Zhaohui was not in the mood to reason with this rigid and uncivilized person, so he ordered Xi Sima to be killed. He and other officers were locked in a prison van, escorted to the city and handed over to Zheng Yuming for disposal.

The news of the great victory ahead reached Dacheng the next day, and the nobles and lords of Dacheng were extremely excited.After the loss of the [-] troops conquered by the royal capital, Yihee's military strength comparison with Ulsan was immediately reversed, and Ulsan's military strength was stronger than that of the royal capital.Everyone in Ulsan has more confidence in defeating Yi Ji.

When everyone in Ulsan was happy, Zheng Yuming was too busy to worry. The arrangement of 4 tigers and 7000 auxiliary soldiers who surrendered was too troublesome, and the food and drink of nearly [-] people was fatal.In addition to these prisoners, there are more than [-] wounded soldiers, which are also testing Ulsan's finances.

Bai Qi, a famous general of the Qin State, designed to surround the Zhao army for 46 days and kill the surrendered soldiers. The main reason was food and grass. Qin State also ate almost all the food at that time. He had to guard 40 captives. He had no ability at all. Fearing that they would become a resistance force in the future, the Zhao Guo prisoners who were too hungry to resist were killed by Bai Qikeng and buried.

Every time Zheng Yuming saw this piece of history, his scalp tingled. He couldn't think of a general who would be so cruel that he would order all of them to be executed regardless of 40 lives.It wasn't until he took [-] captives that he understood Bai Qi's cruel approach.

In addition to more than 4 captives testing Ulsan's finances, the more than 2 people brought by Xihou had to spend a lot of money on arrangements. Faced with financial pressure, Zheng Yuming refused to do nothing for nothing, and he could not affect Chu Chaohui's future use of troops against the capital. .Zheng Yuming could only try his best to conjure up money.

First of all, the bank in Nanbu began to issue a war bond with an annual return of [-]% of the principal. After this bond was launched, no one knew what it was. Zheng Yuming asked people to post instructions everywhere. The people in Dacheng only knew that after buying this kind of paper coupons, money can make money after one year.Zheng Yuming's reputation is really good. The people in Nanbu who have spare money are eager to buy, and the nobles in Dacheng also buy in large sums. The soldiers in the army basically transfer their military salaries into bonds, and the slaves in the valley With the permission of Zheng Yuming, they exchanged the money recorded in the account into bonds and took them back to their respective residences for safekeeping.

In addition to the bonds, Zheng Yuming took out the two sets of tableware from the villa and asked Wu Mu to sell them in the big princes.

"My lord, is this treasure really going to be sold?" Wu Mu cried. The tableware of the 21st century is so beautiful that Wu Mu burst into tears. Such a beautiful treasure is really reluctant to be lost to another country.

"If you don't sell it, you can't do it. It costs money to fight." Zheng Yuming is also reluctant. With the current development speed of kiln-making porcelain technology, such a perfect thing will not be able to be produced in a hundred years.

"My lord." Wu Mu's throat was dry, he opened his mouth and couldn't speak.

After Zheng Yuming became the third son of King Wu, the Wu family was overjoyed. Wu Da was Zheng Yuming's sworn elder brother. After Zheng Yuming became the son of Wu, the Wu family also became a nobleman.For Zheng Yuming to defeat Yiji and become the lord of a country in the future, the Wu family looks forward to it the most.

All the lords of the vassal states in the Great Qin Dynasty launched a big war, first by increasing taxes, and then by recruiting auxiliary soldiers. After a war, none of the princes and nobles will lose any property. After winning, they can also share the war dividends. Their status is The huben of the nobles will also be rewarded with military merits, and only the common people who serve as auxiliary soldiers will not only have nothing, but they will also bear the war consumption.This custom came to Zheng Yuming's place, but it went against the grain. First, Zheng Yuming didn't raise taxes, and second, he didn't recruit auxiliary soldiers. All the war expenses were paid out of his own pocket.From ancient times to the present, there is only one such benevolent prince, Zheng Yuming.

"Young Master, the Mu family has more than 50 gold, and I would like to dedicate all of it to you!" Wu Mu's head became hot, and he wanted to donate all the family property.

"No! No! How could Yu Ming take over Brother Wu's family property?" Zheng Yuming was stunned. Wu Mu is a businessman who values ​​money very much, and Zheng Yuming was surprised that he was willing to donate all his family's belongings now.

"Master can go bankrupt for the righteous way, so can Mu!" The more Zheng Yuming declined, the more determined Wu Mu's attitude of donating money became.

"How about this, brother Wu's money will be considered as buying bonds." Wu Mu's resolute attitude made Zheng Yuming take a step back. The bonds have been sold out, and Zheng Yuming wants to print another batch.

The news that Wu Mu spent 50 gold to buy bonds quickly spread among the nobles of Dacheng. Chen Meng immediately bought [-] gold after hearing about it, and the second batch of bonds printed by Zheng Yuming sold out in a short time.

After the two batches of bonds were sold out, Zheng Yuming's finances were immediately relaxed. Together with Chu Chaohui, he made proper arrangements for the 4 people who surrendered.

The 5000 tigers could not be put back, for fear that they would rejoin the army of the king's capital after returning. Chu Zhaohui selected [-] people to fill his own army. These [-] tigers had nothing to do with Xi Sima and Doctor Jiang. Sima and the tigers in the hands of the lords from all over the world did not support Yi Ji and Young Master Yong, and they were very happy to join the army against Yi Ji.

The remaining [-] tigers were sent to Nanbu to build protection. Nanbu, the valley, and the back slope have been connected together. The northwest, north, and northeast directions of these three areas must be built with city walls, and dykes must be built on the banks of the Changhe River. And the high wall, the embankment is for flood control, and the high wall is to prevent the enemy from attacking Nanport and the valley from the water.The coolies done by this group of tigers are not called servitude, but reform through labor, because they made a big mistake following the traitorous concubine, and Zheng Yuming sentenced them to reform through labor for one year to atone for their sins.

With the protected back slope, valley and south port, it will become a new type of city, with an area twice the size of Dacheng.

On the night when the auxiliary soldiers surrendered, they drank white porridge and ate white steamed buns, and the next day they had dry rice with corn. Not only did they have dry rice, they also had three meals a day, and occasionally they could eat white rice that they had never eaten before. They were better fed as captives than they were at home.Faced with this kind of good treatment, most of the auxiliary soldiers were grateful, and they called Master Ming Shengren, the future Holy Lord of Wu.

The solution for the [-] auxiliary soldiers is that those who want to go home will be given dry food, those who don’t want to go home can take part-time jobs in Nanbu, and those who want to work part-time have to register at the Dacheng Civil Affairs Office and receive a temporary identity Only then can you find a job by yourself.

Half of the auxiliary soldiers chose to go back with dry food because they were homesick, and the other half chose to stay in Dacheng to do part-time labor.The construction of civil engineering and water conservancy projects in Dacheng and Nanbu areas requires a lot of labor, and the wages of part-time workers are good, which attracts these auxiliary soldiers.

Those injured tigers and soldiers will also be treated in the same way after their injuries are healed.

After arranging the prisoners of war, the people brought by Xihou must also be resettled. These people are good at raising herds. Zheng Yuming encouraged them to move to Su Plain. Su Plain can grow grain and raise herds. The rain is abundant, which is better than the barren Xihou fief. many.After hearing about the situation in the Su Plain, some of the people in the Xihou fief chose to settle there, while the other part still chose to return to the fief because they had feelings for their homeland.The people who went to Su Plain were arranged by Yu Kui, and the people who returned to the fief were escorted by a small team sent by Chu Chaohui. Xihou and Shizisheng did not leave the Ulsan Palace. Xihou was in poor health and could not move casually.

Ulsan defeated the army at the crossing, returned to Dalseong for a short rest, and regrouped to approach the royal capital. This time, Zheng Yuming acted with the army as his son Ming.

After receiving the news of the defeat of the entire army, Yi Ji of the capital turned pale with shock and behaved in a panic.
