I am the king of the dead

Chapter 55 True, Zhu Di's Legacy

Shi Heng and Fan Guang were the main executors of the night raid. The two commanders under them, Gao Li and Mao Fushou, were the first to take the brunt of the attack, and they rushed into the Owara camp with them. But rushed into the Han'er army.

Han'er is a derogatory term for the surrendered Han people in the grasslands, and it is also a derogatory term for the defected Han people in Guan.

This name is unified inside and outside the customs. For example, "the Han people make all the nonsense, but they scold the Han people at the city head", which expresses the identity of these Han people.

However, some Han Er voluntarily surrendered and defected, and some Han Er was unable to bless them any longer by the Ming army, they could not escape, and were finally forced to become Han Er.

And these men were also the "vanguard" of the Oara people when they attacked the Ming Dynasty. They didn't charge, and behind them were the Ouraa people's machetes with blood grooves.

It is also a headache for the Daming Army. After all, they are all the people of Daming, and the most terrifying thing is that most of the Han'er Army are forced.

In particular, the Han'er army in the Oara camp outside Xizhimen, most of them were prisoners of the Tumu Fortress, and the people from Kyushu outside the mountain had no time to escape into the city. This is the situation after the defeat of the war.

Yu Qian's goal for tonight's attack was to completely disperse the Han'er Army and rescue the prisoners.

Zhu Qiyu agreed with this, and the night attack was carried out smoothly.

After Shi Heng and Fan Guang broke through the Han'er army's main camp and killed some of the Oirat generals stationed there, they opened the gate of the Han'er army's camp and signaled them to escape.

"I took the small forward as the trailblazer, and you and others followed closely and stationed outside Dong'anmen. There must be no mistake!" Shi Heng gave orders to the relatives around him, who rode fast horses in the Han'er Army. In the camp, they shouted the orders of the chief military officer of the capital.

These Han'er troops are not so much the army as they are refugees. They are ragged, have no weapons or even complete shoes. Their only role on the battlefield is to defend the Oaras against arrows and lead.

Shi Heng pulled his horse and motioned Fan Guang to take people back. He went to pick up the commander Gao Li and Mao Fushou. Just as he was about to set off, a black figure suddenly rose from the Han'er army and rushed towards the turn. Shiheng of the horse head.

Shi Heng had been fighting outside the Great Wall for many years. When he heard the movement, he subconsciously held down the saddle, stepped off the horse, and stepped on the ground with his right foot, while the hook and sickle spear in the other hand stabbed the pounce with force. The person who came, tied a string of candied haws.

Shi Heng's right foot exerted a little force, and flew onto the horse again, pulled out the hook and sickle spear, looked at the man, and asked with some doubts, "Han people?"

But he soon found out that the man was from Oara because he had pierced ears.Daming pays attention to the parents who are physically and skin-friendly. There are very few things like ear piercing. Moreover, this person is dark and weather-beaten. At first glance, he looks like a typical prairie person.

Shi Heng slapped his horse away and headed for the Oara people's camp. The Han'er army was in the army, and naturally had no right to station with the Oara people. Their military tents were tattered, or even non-existent, but the Oara people were completely different. .

Liu An, who was in charge of the response, was very disappointed when he saw Fan Guang's figure, and he missed the opportunity to make a great contribution.

According to the established plan, after the Han'er Camp was robbed, the army responsible for feigning the Oara camp would return under the support of Shi Heng.

It didn't take long for Liu An to see Shi Heng's figure.

At this time, the Taishi of the Oirat people also came first. I never imagined that the Ming army not only did not surrender, but also took the initiative to attack!
Is this still the newly mourned Ming army of the sixth division?The army he defeated on the grassland was obviously not like this!
He had no idea that the Ming army would attack the camp at night. After a series of jumps, he finally got on his horse. When he was about to organize a counter-offensive, the enemy had already retreated, leaving only a piece of chicken feathers on the ground. Han's Camp.

"These guys!" He also wanted to chase after him first, but watching the night and the distant torches spread to the long dragon in the distance, he finally didn't make up his mind to chase them. He was afraid that Yu Qian would set up an ambush not far away.

This Yu Qian is really tricky, and his tactics are impermanent.

At this time, Zhu Qiyu was holding a memorial to apply for the Ming Dynasty's meritorious pension, which was less than 6 taels, mainly rewards such as head rewards.

The problem is that he has no money, not even a penny. The only dowry jewelry that Wang Meilin and Hang Xian can take out from Wang Meilin and Hang Xian are the nominal queens and concubine Xian.

"Zhen can be accurate, but I can't exchange it." Zhu Qiyu approved this memorial with some emotion, which requires the cooperation of the Ministry of Household, but as far as he knows, the Ministry of Household has no money.

The front line is tight, but the Ministry of Household has no surplus grain, and the six private warehouses of the capital and each warehouse have grain and no money. According to the previous rules, these rewards will be distributed as grain at a discount.

About [-] rice beams.

"Your Majesty, in fact, Your Majesty is rich." Xing'an said hesitantly: "There are more than 370 million silver and more than [-] taels of gold in the internal funds, which are more than enough to finish this battle."

Zhu Qiyu asked dully for a moment: "How much... how much... how much?"

"370 taels of silver, and 24 taels of gold." Xing'an reported another precise figure, took out a memorial, and handed it to Zhu Qiyu.

"Lin Xiuzuo, the eunuch of the internal transport depot, has collected and stored more than 72 taels of gold and more than 200 taels of silver since the Yongle period. More than a hundred taels, and 24 twenty-four thousand nine hundred taels of silver." Zhu Qiyu didn't know how rich the Inner Shipping Depot was until he finished reading this memorial!
The national treasure is empty, but the inner treasure is rich. (Note 1)

Zhu Qiyu looked at the numbers on the troupe, and said strangely: "His Majesty Emperor Taizongwen is not five expeditions to the desert, seven voyages to the west, and the Yongle ceremony. The army is extremely martial, the people are exhausted, and all the people give up their abuses?"

"Where did you get so much money?"

It costs money to fight, and Zhu Qiyu is well aware of this.

Zhu Di's five expeditions to the desert, each time it takes more than half a year to prepare, is the manpower and material resources more than astronomical?It is also a great project for tens of thousands of scholars to build the Yongle Ceremony!
Which of these can't be done without spending a lot of money?

But now Lin Xiu, the eunuch of the inner carrier warehouse, said that since the Yongle period, 72 taels of gold and 200 million taels of silver have been left. What is the reason for this?
Where did the money come from?

Xing'an thought about it and shook his head and said, "I don't know..."

"You're honest, if you know, you know, if you don't know, you don't know, right." Zhu Qiyu almost laughed at this ignorance. You checked the accounts of the internal shipping warehouse, but now you have asked three questions.

Zhu Qiyu asked solemnly, "Can the money be moved?"

"Of course it is possible. Your Majesty is the Lord of the world, and this internal shipping warehouse is naturally His Majesty's inner pocket, so I didn't say much." Xing'an hurriedly bowed his head and said.

"Then first mobilize the gold and silver things to reward the brave sergeant who fought outside the Zhangyi Gate." Zhu Qiyu nodded clearly.

He is now eager to know how Zhu Di, Emperor of Yongle, managed to save such a large fortune when he was in the Wuzheng Desert.

This has been used during the Jingtai years, and there is still so much money left!
In fact, what Zhu Qiyu didn't know was that the money that Zhu Di had saved had been used until the Chenghua period, that is, when the two-year-old Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne, there were still more than 200 million taels of silver left.

"Jin Lian has been checking the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts recently, let's go, go and ask him!" Zhu Qiyu stood up, feeling really good to have money in hand.

(Original text: According to the Ministry of Household Affairs, Lin Xiuzuo, the eunuch of Bizhe Nei Transport Warehouse, has collected and stored more than 72 taels of gold and more than 76 taels of silver since the Yongle period. But the remaining silver is 240 taels)
　According to the memorial of Lin Xiu, the eunuch of the transport warehouse in the nine years of Chenghua, the warehouse has collected and stored more than 72 taels of gold and more than 76 taels of silver since Yongle until now, minus the gold in the Tianshun period. There are seven or eight million taels of silver, and the remaining amount can be more than 800 taels of gold and 72 taels of silver.In the ninth year of Chenghua, it was only 270 years since Zheng He returned from his last voyage to the West.This number can be said to be the total value of the goods brought by Zheng He's voyages and tributes from various countries. Other rare treasures, spices, pepper, sumac, etc. have not been included in the calculation.Such an astonishing number is entirely the result of the tributary trade in the early Ming Dynasty - "Finance and Taxation of Ming Dynasty China in the Sixteenth Century"
