Chapter 113 The classic case of war neglect

() Here comes the chapter without restraint.Do you want to give me something?

"In the history of mankind, there have been all kinds of deceitful actions, some for fame, some for profit, money, and beauty. We collectively call these actions deception. But if it rises to the level of a country or an army, This kind of behavior cannot be summed up by the word deception. It should be called strategic deception, which is the origin of our ignorance!"

At the meeting to welcome new members, General Zhang, the acting director of the Zhanhu Bureau, passionately told these new blood the glorious history of the Zhanhu Bureau.

Pointing to the banner hanging in the air, he shouted loudly, "Fudge is to better cover up our real purpose, to interfere with the enemy's line of sight, and then affect their judgment, so as to achieve the ultimate strategic goal. It's not our purpose, but ours. A kind of paragraph!"

Next to Director Zhang's seat, Director Yin of the Training Department took over the topic, "In the future, you will come across many cases of strategic deception. Here, I will tell you about Li Shouhan's early years. A classic case of deception in military struggle!"

Hearing Director Yin's words, the students sitting upright were all surprised, and couldn't help whispering to each other. Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound in the venue.

Director Yin stood in front of the podium and pointed at the newly hung map with the middle pointer. This is a strategic situation map of the South Central region at the beginning of the sixth year of Tianqi, which is already familiar to these students.A student murmured in a low voice indifferently, "Cut! I knew how to draw such a picture when I was in the Army Elementary School!"

"I, now I will explain to you a very classic case of cheating in my opinion!"

"My lord, such a mirror hall is too costly! Moreover, it also consumes too much labor. This, please forgive my subordinates, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve!" Zheng Zhang has not yet entered the back garden, and he has not even had time to look at it. Looking at the surrounding scenery, flowers, plants and trees, Lei Mingsheng's slightly hoarse voice of tobacco and alcohol could be heard.

When the Chengqi officer brought Zheng Zhang to the Shou Han, he announced to him in a low voice: "My lord, Mr. Zheng Zhang, the Titang official sent by the Annan Metropolitan Government Office to our President's Office, has been ordered to come, and he has arrived!"

Shou Han stared fixedly at the blueprint on the table, waved his head without raising his head, and signaled Cheng Qiguan to back down, and then said in a muffled voice, "Old Zheng, find a place to sit down by yourself."

Zheng Zhang looked around, and in a small pavilion, a huge rosewood mirror frame took up one-fifth of the space, while Shou Han and the owner of the workshop, Lei Mingsheng, took up at least half of the space. A few bamboo chairs were scattered here and there, and the ground was covered with two-foot-square tiles. There were discarded drawings and smeared messy papers everywhere, undulating and rolling in the breeze from the lake from time to time.

He smiled wryly in his heart, where are we going to sit here? He still replied respectfully: "The general is busy with work, so the ministers just wait here."

"My lord, it is true that you asked your subordinates to build a house, but the house you want is really too big! It is twenty feet long, ten feet wide, and three feet high. The construction and materials used in the house, just look at such a big house, in this general's mansion, there is such a huge open space?!"

"Your Excellency, you want to start building a house? The foreign ministers also have a little bit of experience in civil engineering, and have also taken charge of the construction of palaces for my prince. If you don't mind the shallowness of the foreign ministers, I would like to do the work of dogs and horses!" Zheng Zhang Talking to the side, his face still has that respectful expression.

Asking Zheng Zhang to sit down beside him, Shou Han pointed to the rosewood mirror frame beside him, "Old Zheng, have you seen that mirror?"

"It's so delicate, so ingenious. I don't know where this treasure comes from?" Many of Zheng Zhang's words in Hejing are insincere, but he sincerely admires the various novelty items that emerge endlessly in Shouhan's place. .

"Don't worry about where it came from, I'll just ask you, is such a mirror worth ten thousand silver?"

"Although the foreign ministers can't afford it, the foreign ministers feel that if such a treasure is sold for [-] silver, the buyer must be a good friend of the lord, and the lord will transfer it to him at a price of conscience."

"Come and see!"

This construction blueprint named Crystal Palace was placed in front of Zheng Zhang.To be honest, Zheng Zhang has built palaces for Prince Zheng, and palaces for Li Shenzong. He also has a lot of knowledge and experience in his own house and the houses of his colleagues. However, such a palace made him suddenly feel that Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty Building, Qin Shihuang's Efang Palace is nothing more than this.

There is no need for grandeur and magnificence in the palace. The most jaw-dropping design is decorated with mirrors. After people walk in, one body will be transformed into thousands of bodies. I don’t know which one is real and which one is shadow?

"I plan to use 640 mirrors to be placed in various parts of this Crystal Palace. In the center of the palace, a mirror with a diameter of one foot is used as the mother, and the rest of the small mirrors are used as the children. It is so grand and magnificent. !"

A six-foot-sized mirror costs 1 taels of silver, and it's a conscientious price for the cost!You actually want 640 mirrors? What's more, you actually need a mirror with a diameter of more than ten feet as the mother mirror, as the finishing touch. Such extravagant and absurd behavior makes Zheng Zhang feel a little breathless with happiness.

"My lord, the foreign ministers are dull, and I don't know why your lord built such a magnificent palace?" In order to confirm whether he was really hit by happiness again, Zheng Zhang asked again cautiously.

Lei Mingsheng on the side, he didn't know whether it was shame or anger, a kind of purple color similar to sauce appeared on his dark face. "Absurdity 9 is not for the sake of absurdity!" Although the voice was very low, Zheng Zhang could still hear it very clearly.

His heart suddenly moved, could it be that building such a house is really the maze building of Emperor Sui Yang and the leopard house of Emperor Zhengde?

Shou Han was probably a little proud of his big pen, so he untied several ties on his clothes, letting the wind blow You Xiaore's face and chest. "At night, turn on the lights, and this place is like a dream. Call the witch to dance, and have a look at those Siamese beauties. Wow!"

Zheng Zhang took a sneak peek at Lei Mingsheng's face, his heart was clear, he thought it was this young man who had achieved success at a young age, he was so dazzled by his current aura, and he was only thinking about the alcoholic woman!I want to find a place in my own mansion or on the ground nearby, and build such a house for my own enjoyment.

Oh shit!This guy is really happy!Zheng Zhang swallowed with great effort.

Looking at the construction drawing, it can be seen from the drawing that the entire Crystal Palace is centered on a huge mirror hanging from the ceiling, surrounded by inlays or hundreds of mirrors of various sizes, and this huge mirror What the mirror is facing is an extremely huge bed. The purpose of building this house is self-evident.

Quarrel, violent quarrel.

At first, it was only between Shou Han and Lei Mingsheng. The content of the quarrel was whether such a building should be built. I took out private money from the treasury, and there is no such huge timber nearby to meet the needs of this house!

Then, the quarrel spread to the important ministers of the general's mansion who came after hearing the news. Facing the accusations and accusations of everyone, Shou Han did not show any weakness and insisted on building this crystal palace.The reason is also very good, "First, I don't waste the public money and food, but use my own money to build it; second, as an officer, what if I have a place to rest after work? Which rule of heaven has I violated?"

Zheng Zhang, who watched coldly from the side for a long time, carefully analyzed everyone's expressions and behaviors, and even carefully studied and judged the subtleties of their faces.

Finally, he made a judgment: This little guy really wanted to do something wrong to satisfy his desires, and it was the same when he thought about it. He was a young man, with tens of thousands of soldiers, occupying thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and his treasury was full. , There are countless money and food, if you don't spend it randomly, you will definitely not be willing!

"Ahem!" He coughed twice from the side, expressing his existence. "General, my lords." The people who were arguing fiercely stopped their squabbling and turned their attention to the Zheng family's resident envoy in Hejing.

"What do you want?!" The old and respected Uncle Fu raised his beard angrily, panting heavily.

"My lord, my lords, the foreign ministers secretly think that the general's opinion is justified, and there is a need for a place to rest during public work. I have traveled all over the world, is there a king who can rest privately?"

"Good job!" Shou Han patted Zheng Zhang's shoulder vigorously, "I will reward you later!"

"But!" In order to allow Li Shouhan's Crystal Palace to be completed, Zheng Zhang decided to play with Xiao Duan. "The foreign minister thinks that Mr. Lei is justified. It is impossible to find such a beautiful giant tree in the Zuojin Mountains. Even if it is found, it may not be able to be transported out of the mountain in a short while. It is not good to delay the general's important affairs. Therefore, the foreign minister thought that a part of it could be built first, so that the general can have a small place to rest and play, and then gradually expand it, and finally reach the magnificent scene in this picture."

Others there either frowned, or closed their eyes slightly, each thinking about Zheng Zhang's idea, only Shou Han snickered in his heart, this guy is playing tricks on people who will be played badly by later generations, first establish a project to build the first phase of the project, and then continue It's a trick to increase the budget and increase investment!

"Then, based on Mr. Zheng's view, how should we build it?" Lei Mingsheng has already entered the level of technical discussion.

"My lords, in the humble opinion of my ministers, the grand plan and great cause of my lord general are not enough to be matched by anything other than a huge and gorgeous thing. Therefore, this glazed mirror with a size of more than ten feet is the dragon's eye in this palace. build up."

"Then, inlay, install, and erect the surrounding mirrors one by one. However, the number needs to be greatly reduced. We can inlay 72 earth spirits around the giant mirror, and then set up 36 mirrors on the side of the couch. Facing the numbers in the sky. General, what do you think, my lords?"

The original 640 mirrors were suddenly reduced to one hundred reams and eight mirrors. Such a degree of reduction made the expression on Shou Han's distressed face very rich. The expressions are not so tense anymore, and the two sides seem to have found an acceptable balance.

A mirror costs 1 taels, and one hundred and eight sides equals 8 taels. You ask gods to worship Buddha to ensure that there are no problems in the process of transfer, construction, and installation. Even so, at least 130% must be paid From the wealth, that is more than [-] million taels.Coupled with the huge "dragon eye", such a glazed mirror with a length of more than ten feet would cost at least [-] silver.

Although the house has been greatly reduced, it is still more than sixty feet long, thirty feet wide, and fifteen feet high.Procurement of materials, hiring of workers, layout after completion, this kind of building, Li thief, if you don't spend more than two million taels of silver, let's see how you can build it!

Based on his previous experience in building palaces and houses for King Zheng and Emperor Li, Zheng Zhang made a simple estimate.

"You posted an official document on Nanzhong Commercial Information, paid various taxes, and spent a lot of money to buy southern mountains, forests, land, and ponds from the Land Reclamation Department. Adding up the two items, in just a few months, it has already cost you money. I don't believe that you can use your own money to build this extravagant, desolate and shameless place!"

"It is bound to use the treasury money and food."

Although Hejing is known as rich and prosperous, you, Li Thief, are very happy to build roads and bridges, raise soldiers, transport rice to the north for profit, and immigrate to the south to reclaim wasteland.Where is it not that a lot of money and food have been invested? Thinking about it, the treasury is already quite empty at this time

In this way, your danger to my lord will become smaller and smaller.

However, the next words made Zheng Zhang's soul fly into the sky.

"Old Zheng, I originally planned to reward you with something, but what a pity! You bastard is unlucky. You can't ruin my good deed!"

After sending away a group of important officials, Shou Hanhu stared at Zheng Zhang with a stern face.

"Tell your master back, and ask him, does he still fight Laos? Can he fight or not?"

According to the covenant between the two families, the Zheng family and Li Shouhan will deal with Laos together, and the family that arrives first will be "the one who enters Guanzhong first will be the king", and the land will belong to that family.

However, when the South China Army was about to launch an offensive against Laos, it had no choice but to go south to Siam to rescue Wang Bao.Although the covenant was signed with Siam, Prince Zheng in the north seized this time window to abuse Laos wantonly.

In just a few months, more than [-]% of Shangliao's territory has been captured by Prince Zheng's arrogant soldiers equipped with nine-turn steel swords, guns and firearms.

However, the deeper you go into the interior of Laos, the harder it is to fight.Those mountain people resisted more tenaciously and crazy than the regular army of Laos.These mountain people, Zheng Zhang had seen their fellow tribesmen on the streets of He Tinh, every time they packed a bundle of firewood or carried a day's bag on the pier, in exchange for money, they went to taverns and restaurants to get drunk, and then casually Find a corner and fall down to sleep.It was this group of mountain people who looked extremely savage, who actually fought to the death with the Zheng family's army, often capturing a mountain village, and the Zheng family had to pay tens of hundreds of casualties.Even if they were able to plunder and kill wantonly in the future, and then set the village on fire, their morale was consumed bit by bit invisible.

"If you can't fight anymore, then don't blame me for going out! I plan to go north from Zhongliao, you tell your master, inform the former enemy generals, don't make any misunderstandings, otherwise, if you jump up, you will be responsible for the consequences!"

"It's a bluff, it's just empty talk and intimidation!" Zheng Zhang quickly connected Li Shouhan's performance today in his mind, and came to such a conclusion.If you want to move, where are your soldiers and horses? Is your money and food enough to support you to conquer Laos?

"Also! Tell your lord, let him be more respectful to his lord! Yu Gong, that is the Annan Metropolitan Envoy officially conferred by my Ming Dynasty, Yu private, hey!" Shou Han walked away.

Leaving our poor Mr. Zheng kneeling in the pavilion like a walking dead.After a long time, he got up and left under the urging of the cleaning maid.

The little thief from the Li family and the Li family really colluded!

Watching Zheng Zhang walk out from a hidden place in a daze, Shou Han nodded to Niu Qiandao, Mu Yagou and the others in satisfaction, "Follow the plan. Let him see what he wants to see. "

"Where are the adults?" Niu Qiandao asked in a low voice. "Would you like to explain?"

"What's the explanation? I don't spend the public money. I use my own money to build a house for myself, and I don't care about other people's business!"

"In the next few days, Zheng Zhang sent his confidantes to search around Hejing every day, but what he saw was whether it was a brigade of soldiers and horses heading west, or a large number of weapons, gunpowder, and countless luggage rolling in the military factory. Follow the army westward like a tide.”

"At this time, large-scale construction projects have also begun in the General's Mansion, and huge glazed mirrors have been transported to the private warehouse of the General's Mansion as construction materials."

"As a diplomat hundreds of years ago, Zheng Zhang is undoubtedly suitable. He has the talent of a diplomat, but he lacks proper training, which eventually led to his personal tragedy and the tragedy of the Zheng family."

"He can't believe that our Li Shouhan spent so much money and used such a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources in order to create a scam, just to create a false impression for him that our South China Army is going west and we are going to solve the problem. After finding out about the ownership of the land in Laos, he had a showdown with the members of the Zheng family. However, unexpectedly, Zheng Zhang was killed by his own judgment."

Director Yin was very excited to explain this past event, and analyzed the glorious history of Zhan Huju for these students from the professional perspective of Zhan Huju.In this way, these newcomers who have just joined the Zhanhu Bureau family can establish a glorious sense of mission and responsibility.

"Report!" A student asked with a blushing face.

"I want to know how much money Li Shouhan's Crystal Palace has spent. Have you used public funds from the treasury?"

Director Zhang, Director Yin, Director Li, Deputy Director Dai and others looked at each other and laughed loudly.

"I and he are the founders of our Zhanhu career. Some people have always disbelieved it. Look, there are still people who doubt the cost of the Crystal Palace." Director Zhang laughed loudly, "Student, you can use our library later." Check the relevant files, which record the relevant expenditures in detail."

It is clearly recorded in the file that Crystal Palace's final bill.

Total cost: 540, six, two, three, two cents.

This is the total cost of the Crystal Palace.

For no other reason, Shou Han's glass cost has always been a top secret.
