Win the Ding 1617

Facing the gusts of snow blown up by the cold wind, Li Huamei, accompanied by Wu Sangui and Shi Lang, inspected the various camps of the Ming army stationed near Hongluo Mountain, which was regarded as the completion of the day's work .

Outside the gate of her own Chinese army camp, Li Huamei said goodbye to Wu Sangui, a very filial godson, with a graceful smile, and went back to the camp to rest.

After returning to my big tent, the hot air from the fire dragons strung on the ground and the burning charcoal brazier hit my face, and it was a different world from the freezing weather outside.Li Huamei took off the velvet cloak, threw it to the guards standing beside her, threw herself on the recliner, stretched herself, then slammed the whip on the case, and said angrily: "Trash! Idiots! Why don't you all die! Ning Yuan's army is trash, and Shan Haijun is even more trash. The princess gave them so many weapons and silver dollars, and they couldn't even take a small mountain bag. Our people are even more annoying. Tell me that there are too many frostbite who fell ill! A group of elders, how dare you fall ill and suffer frostbite at such a juncture!" Xiaoma Gan'er is an outspoken Dongfan girl, and also Li Huamei's eldest brother Li Huayu carefully After selection, I sent it to my sister's personal army.Li Huayu is regarded as a god in Dong Fanbing's heart. Among other things, in Taiwan, he opened up wasteland and farmed fields, built roads and bridges, and bought local products.Let the children be able to eat as much as they want.Such a day, for these mountain peoples, is nothing less than heaven.And Li Huabao was even more respectful and respectful in front of his elder sister, which made Xiao Ma Gan treat the Princess Princess like a god on weekdays.Facing the gods, it is natural to have something to say. "Also. Our soldiers get up every morning to pour out the remaining soup and water in the copper pot. Soldiers from the Shanhai Navy and the Ningyuan Army are waiting at the garbage pit, just to beg for a sip of hot soup."

"You can talk about the lack of things! So many of them report sick and go home!?"

It seemed that she wanted to make some irony for Li Huamei's words. While she was speaking, it seemed that her nose was stimulated by a cold wind, so she let out a big sneeze out of embarrassment.Seeing this, Fathead Fish quickly fetched clothes and put them on Li Huamei, and then persuaded Li Huamei, "Princess, don't be as knowledgeable as these people, it's cold, be careful to freeze your body. If you can't win the battle today, you can fight again tomorrow." We don't believe how many shells the Liao thieves can withstand!"

Li Huamei sighed and said: "Don't comfort me. If the Liaodong rebels collapsed so easily, they would have collapsed a long time ago. I don't need money every day to throw shells. You don't know that money is expensive if you are not in charge. Mortars are not only The operation is labor-intensive, and the shells also cost money. When one shot flies out, it is just a pile of silver dollars. I have already spent money and money, but the Liaodong rebels are rushing up one after another. I am not sure. Are they born to like to be hit by a mortar?"  …

The fat girl quickly smiled and said: "Princess, what are you kidding, the big iron lump of the mortar, if you smash it, King Kong will be wiped out, who likes to let that thing hit it. People are fleshy, and people are afraid of death. The Liaodong rebels are no exception."

"Princess, didn't Commander Shi the day before yesterday order people to release rockets to kill these rebels in large numbers when the Liao bandits entered the position and prepared to counterattack after the artillery team finished fighting? I can smell it from the front line. The Liao thieves were crying and howling, and their noses were filled with the smell of burning human flesh."

Hearing Fathead Yu talk about this immoral strategy that Shi Lang developed based on the tactical habits of the Liaodong rebels, Li Huamei frowned and said, "I'm afraid, our friendly army is more afraid of death than the Liaodong rebels."

"Princess, but every day we see the Liaodong rebels transporting wounded soldiers and corpses to the rear, and they are almost unable to hold on!" Xiao Magan said in a high-pitched and clear voice unique to the mountain people. What I have observed these days.

That's right, fighting means killing people, and the kind of thing where only oneself kills others and no one else kills oneself can only be a story in a drama.It is impossible in reality, but it depends on who can persist until the dawn of victory comes.

"Then tell me, at this time, how can we make our soldiers regain their spirits to kill the enemy?"

The fat girl smiled and said: "Princess, don't worry about this matter, Xiaomagan already has a solution. Princess! I'm not talking about you, you are smart all your life, and you were confused for a while." Li Huamei said pretending to be angry : "You damn girl, you are getting more and more courageous. You just tell me how confused I am. If you say something wrong, you will be punished and not allowed to eat meat for three days."

Fat Ya immediately waved her hand and said, "Don't, don't, princess, I was wrong. I'll make it clear right away. That's right, Xiao Magan said that you have been patronizing the generals of the Guanning Army recently, and they now have a guarantee , I am not afraid of death. Anyway, the dead are not their turn to die. They all die below, but the soldiers below are different. At the beginning, the silver dollars stimulated, and everyone's eyes were red, but now they see a batch of death when they go up. , The devil is not afraid. You didn’t see the silver dollars being moved out recently, and many people were too lazy to read. If everyone has too much silver, the silver is no longer silver!!”

When Li Huamei heard this, she suddenly felt dizzy. She didn't expect that there would be inflation on the battlefield!It seems that this fat head fish and little hemp pole are also good readers of "Guanzi"!

"It does sound reasonable." Li Huamei pondered for a moment and said slowly: "That's true. But besides silver dollars, what else can I give? I can't send you all to work in the army, right? If you want to send you Everyone is happy to go out, but Xiaomagan doesn’t have to worry about not being able to get married! His lover brother is still fighting hard in the Dongfan soldiers, and he is going to get the fame of a battalion officer to marry Xiaomagan!"

Xiao Ma Gan said in a joke that his face was flushed with pride and happiness, but the fat girl didn't care about it: "Laojun is laboring, who is afraid of whom, I will see who dares. But Princess, Xiao Magan's idea is really true. Lao Jun. You forgot, we still have an art troupe. The subordinates who fought for the head of the Zheng family at the beginning were the sisters of our propaganda team who made great achievements with a coral ode. We can definitely use the tricks we used to deal with the head of the Zheng family. Grab the medicine. Xiaomagan suggested that we change the Shanshan Song. Put the plot in Liaodong, and then ask the sisters of the propaganda team to sing a big show for the Guan Ning army, so it can boost morale?"

"In addition to this prescription, we can also let the soldiers of the Guanning Army know the joy of life. Most of these soldiers are recruited by their families. They are all out to steal the army's salary. Now they have money in their pockets I can't spend it, so naturally I don't have the energy to work hard. Why don't you discuss it with Mr. Wu. Bring a group of family members of officers and soldiers from Ningyuan City and Shanhaiguan City. First, it can alleviate the hostility in the camp. The families of these officers and soldiers went back to buy rice, cloth, and clothes with white silver dollars. Doesn’t the silver of our Southern Guangdong Army have to go back to our warehouse? The money in these people’s pockets has become the food and clothing of their wives and children. Naturally, I am more motivated to chop off the heads of Liao thieves for more silver dollars!"...

Although the words of Fat Head Fish and Xiao Ma Gan are vulgar, they hit the point.Hearing this method, Li Huamei suddenly felt cheerful, her eyes lit up, and she jumped up from the couch.

"Go! Tell the small kitchen to prepare a few small dishes, light the copper pot, and prepare some fish, shrimp and shellfish they caught during the day. Please invite Uncle Mo Yu, Uncle, Wu Sangui and General Wu, um, and that guy Let's have supper together!"

Fathead Yu and Xiao Magan are very clear in their hearts. The guy the princess is talking about is Shi Lang, the commander of the fleet. These days, our Shi Dalang is very busy.In addition to organizing fleet artillery fire to bombard Tashan and Baitai Mountains, they also dispatched ships to transport food, grass and ammunition, and transferred batches of wounded and sick soldiers from the Tashan battlefield to Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan.

well!Obviously, I like this guy who can help our princess solve so many troubles. The princess is a duck with rotten meat and mouth.Fathead Yu muttered something in his heart, turned around and went out to arrange supper, and sent his own soldiers to invite Li Peiting, Mo Yu, Wu Sangui and others who were currently on the front line of Tashan Mountain. .

When Shi Lang was dazed and dragged to Li Huamei's big tent by the fat head fish who rushed in without thinking and with a few female soldiers from the Miao family, he was shocked to find that the tent was already steaming. seat.

The charcoal fire is burning under a huge copper pot, and the pot is full of red soup, and occasionally there are crabs, prawns, and shellfish rolling up and down.

"Your Majesty is here?" Mo Yu showed a rare smile in recent days, "Sit down quickly, it's cold, Miss invites us to have a glass of wine to keep out the cold!"

After three or five glasses of wine, Wu Sangui began to inquire about calling late at night, what should I order?

"Uncle, how many goods does our company sell in Tashan, Ningyuan, and Shanhaiguan?"

Hearing Li Huamei's question, Li Peiting, who had already been in the army for a few days and was quite puzzled by Li Huamei's reckless prodigal style of play, couldn't help being slightly taken aback, "Miss, this area is a battlefield. Yes, but not many, if you want to reward the soldiers, I am afraid you have to go to Tianjin, Dengzhou and other places to dispatch them."

"Then I'm going to work on Uncle's subordinates, and go get more goods, the more the better!" Li Huamei was chewing a prawn, not at all the demeanor that the princess of an earl's family should have.

"Uncle, are most of the family members of the Ningyuan Army in Ningyuan City?"

"Master Hui, most of them live in Ningyuan City, and some live in the nearby Tunpu Guardhouse."

"If I start ordering people to invite these family members to visit relatives in Tashan camp tomorrow, how many boats will it take to transport?"

After hearing this, Shi Lang and Li Peiting couldn't help but explode like a thunder in their minds!

"So that's the idea!"

Both are fast-minded people.From asking about the quantity of goods just now, urging to speed up the dispatch, to preparing to take the families of Ningyuan Army and Shan Haijun to Tashan Camp to visit relatives in batches, the two immediately smelled the smell of this.

"It turns out that Erya is planning to use this excuse to promote and sell our Nanyue Army's products in the Guan Ning Army! That's right! At this time, the Guan Ning Army is at a time when their pockets are bulging, and everyone from soldiers to generals money!"

"Miss's thoughts are really powerful. Let the family members come here to relieve the hostile and murderous atmosphere in the barracks, and let the soldiers and officers use the money to buy things for the family. It is also a good way to boost morale. !"

"Mother. According to the confession of the captives, Dorgon, Prince Rui, the slave chief, gathered all the family members of his troops in Tashan Castle, so that everyone in the soldiers had a generous heart to die. None of them thought of surviving. Therefore, Every battle must go forward desperately. Our army is the opposite. The princess pays a lot of money to support the soldiers, and the soldiers all have sorghum fat to feed their stomachs. Look, who dares to covet life and fear death and shrink back!"...

The three of them had different opinions, but they agreed with Li Huamei's approach with one voice.

"Uncle Mo Yu, your guard brigade has to work harder. During the visit, the military discipline in the camp still has to trouble you and the eldest uncle to send capable men to patrol, so as to prevent the slave-builders and the younger generation from taking the opportunity to plot wrongdoings. In addition, gather those in the Guards Brigade who usually like to play and sing, and I plan to let the sisters of the propaganda team sing for the soldiers of the camp for a few days, and people from your place can also join in."

"Sing opera? Mother, if you want to listen to opera, my son also has an opera troupe in the army, so you can let them come together!" Seeing that Li Huamei wanted to sing opera in the army, Wu Sangui couldn't help but immediately volunteered to move his own opera troupe to the front line of Tashan Honor your mother once.

The atmosphere in Li Huamei's big tent instantly became extremely lively as everyone exchanged words.

After a detailed discussion with Wu Sangui, Li Huamei's former commander in chief of Tashan, who was appointed by Li Huamei instead of President Li Shouhan, Li Peiting secretly gave a thumbs up to Li Huamei's move.

Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan have no less than 6 or [-] horses in Tashan, and they consume a lot every day.However, the consumption of food, grass, and military salaries are all paid by the Nanyue Army. Even the rewards received by the soldiers for killing the enemy are also advanced by the Nanyue Army according to the standards issued by the imperial court. After several consecutive battles, almost everyone has a lot of money. .But can't find a place to spend it.

"Uncle, at this time and here, a certain family is taking a picture of your elders. In the past, there was a lot of money in Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, which led to high rice prices and high prices. Now the soldiers are fighting for the country. I just wish I could go to battle with you to kill thieves for the country. In this way, when all the family members arrive at Tashan, all the goods purchased by the soldiers with salaries and rewards will be calculated at [-]% off the previous year's prices!"

Li Peiting's calculations are very good. The purchasing power of 6 to [-] people is a huge number when exchanged for commodities. Because of the terrain, it is difficult for business travelers to come here in Tashan. A pile deal is an exclusive deal.No matter whether he is a Shanxi merchant or a Zhejiang merchant, he cannot compete with him.What's more, this huge killer that has to be sold at a [-]% discount?

During the reign of Chongzhen, for daily necessities such as grain, cloth, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, no business group could sell them at a [-]% discount.

"Missy's move not only won the hearts of Guan Ning's army, but also quietly took back a lot of money that was scattered these days. I'm afraid that if this battle is won, not only will it not lose money, but it will make a lot of money. Little silver!"

Li Peiting fully affirmed Li Huamei's method of stabilizing the morale of the army and improving morale from the perspective of a businessman. "It's a pity that the eldest lady is from a girl's family. If she is like Huabao Huayu Huaxuan Huaning and others, she is a man of seven feet and hides seven feet. Even if a certain family pours blood into this cavity, they must support him to make meritorious deeds and be supported by the lord." Your Majesty the Son of Heaven!"

Wu Sangui, who was sitting with Li Huamei's hands down, was constantly calling for Li Huamei, Mo Yu, and Li Peiting's uncle, and Li Huamei kept yelling at her, but everyone could see the little bit of love between the two. Shi Lang poured wine and served dishes, and picked all kinds of food that had been boiled and scalded by spicy soup in the hot pot and put them on the plates of the four elders.

Hearing the price promised by Li Peiting, Wu Sangui almost threw the chopsticks in his hand into the pot.Such great good news, and I am the supreme commander of the Shanhai Navy and Ningyuan Army on the front line of Tashan, how can I not take advantage of this opportunity to extend my hand from the Ningyuan Army to the Shanhai Navy?

While he was still thinking about how to use this specific opportunity to expand the influence and power of the Wu family, Li Huamei said something amazing: "Uncle, tomorrow you will arrange the matters of visiting relatives, laboring in the army, and expressing condolences." Go on, don't compete among the various ministries, don't compete for coming early and leaving late, we have plenty of goods! As long as the battle is fought well, the princess is here today to offer a reward, conquer Tashan, and wipe out the two white flags of Dorgon In the headquarters, the whole army rests for five days, and buys the market for five days! The siege of Jinzhou and Guangning is relieved, and the whole army buys the market for ten days!"

From the second day onwards, ships near Diayu Mountain and Hongluo Mountain came in and out more frequently, and the atmosphere in the entire Ming army camp became more and more enthusiastic!
