285. There are still reinforcements available [1/2]
285, there are reinforcements available to request [1/2]
Yi Yun showed his power and suppressed the voice of the Lord and the faction in the hall. The Shengtang Piaotian, a registered literary member, recommended this work.
Hu Zhongxian gave Yi Yun a grateful look. Although he was the governor of Jiangnan, he was just an official in the officialdom after all, and he had to be controlled by the huge bureaucratic system. Sometimes he did not dare to offend people randomly. Some of his orders were not followed by them.
But Yi Yun is different. He is a royal relative and a very strong royal relative. In addition to the bureaucratic system of Dameng Kingdom, no matter how many people he offended, the identity of the royal relatives would not be lost. No civil servant can beat him up. So he could come out and say something to the civil servants with evil and evil, "killing on the spot" to the civil servants. Hu Zhongxian is not qualified to say such words.
The last time Hu Zhongxian held the first anti-Japanese meeting, he relied on the pressure of the two princes, King Jinling and King Jiashan, to clean up the officials. This time, he relied on Yi Yun to speak, and finally suppressed the voice of the surrender faction. He was very grateful to Yi Yun.
He coughed lightly, took over the conversation and said, "Let's stop talking nonsense, let's continue to discuss the anti-Japanese war!"
"First of all, I want to tell you that we cannot have reinforcements." Hu Zhongxian said loudly: "At present, I have received letters from flying pigeons from various nearby cities, and the entire Jiangnan has been in a war... Wang Zhi divided the Japanese pirates into five routes, led by the two of Shinto Toro and Jiro, with a total of 5,000 people landed on Xiangshan Mountain in Ningbo. Now the troops from Ningbo, Yuyao, Shaoxing and other places are gathered in Ningbo to fight against this Japanese pirates, and it is impossible to reinforce us."
"The second route is led by Shilang and Shilang, with a total of 5,000 people landed in Yueqing. At present, the defenders from Wenzhou, Taizhou and other places are gathered in Wenzhou City. It is impossible to reinforce us when fighting against this Japanese pirates."
"The third Japanese pirates were led by the fake Japanese Li bald head, with a total of 5,000 people landed in Jiangyin and cut off the connection between Suzhou and Hangzhou and Nanjing. In other words, we can no longer count on King Jinling. She must first deal with the Japanese pirates before she can go south. By then, the daylily will be cold."
"The fourth road is Mao Haifeng's road, with a total of 10,000 yuan. Just outside our Hangzhou city, I won't say much. Shengtang Piaotian, a registered literary member, recommended this work."
"After the last journey, Wang Zhi personally led the attack on the newly opened Shanghai oasis by Prince Jiashan..." Hu Zhongxian said this and looked at Yi Yun curiously and said, "I originally thought Prince Jiashan would be busy fighting against Wang Zhi, but I didn't expect to come so soon."
Yi Yun smiled and briefly explained the battle of cannon-fighting turtle in Shanghai Oasis, but missed the matter of dozens of artillery girls who had changed jobs: "I didn't come quickly, and I was dragged by the turtle for nearly twenty days. Fortunately, Hangzhou City has not been captured yet."
Everyone sighed: "Prince Jiashan is the most capable, and the giant monster of the sixth level can be defeated."
Hu Zhongxian said seriously: "Now, what we can count on is the seven thousand soldiers in the city, plus the one thousand five hundred soldiers of Prince Jiashan. Together, there are 8,500 soldiers, which is still worse than the Japanese pirates in terms of military strength."
All the officials sighed, and everyone knew in their hearts that since King Jiashan defeated Oda in Yuyao, the morale of the officers and soldiers of the Dameng Kingdom had improved a lot. After Hu Zhongxian's long training period, the current military situation has been much better than before. However, with the same number of troops, Japanese pirates will definitely beat the officers and soldiers of the Dameng Kingdom, because their morale and combat effectiveness are completely different.
Even if the 1,200 musket soldiers of Prince Jiashan could defeat three,000 or four,000 enemy troops, the remaining six,700 Japanese pirates were still enough to defeat the 7,000 troops in Hangzhou.
"In other words, if we want to defend the city to the death, it should be a big problem with our current military strength. But... if we want to defeat the Japanese pirates and drive the Japanese pirates back to the sea, new strength is needed." Hu Zhongxian said seriously: "I want to know where there are any troops that can be called to help?"
"No, the entire Jiangnan is fighting, where can there be any army to adjust?" The civil servants talked.
Yi Yun was completely disgusted with the military situation of Da Mengguo and could not give any useful opinions at all, so he could only listen.
At this time, a civil servant suddenly pointed at the Death Girl and shouted: "Sanjiang Pavilion... Isn't the owner of Sanjiang Pavilion here? There is a mercenary army in Sanjiang Pavilion!"
Everyone was excited, yes, the mercenaries of Sanjiang Pavilion are not in vain. (Piaotian Literary Registration Member Recommended This Work" Piaotian Literary Registration Member Recommended This Work.) Hu Zhongxian bowed to the girl of Death and said seriously: "Miss Master, I don't know how many troops Gui Pavilion has in Jiangnan? According to information, Gui Pavilion's Sichuan branch has a total of 2,000 mercenaries. I think the strength of the Jiangnan branch will not be too bad."
The girl from Death laughed: "How many troops are there? The secret of my Sanjiang Pavilion. You can't just say it here. However... I can only regret to tell you that even if the strength of my Jiangnan branch is added, it is still not enough to defeat the Japanese pirates, because the officers and soldiers are too unreliable. Except for the wolf soldiers, other officers and soldiers have to calculate it with a 30% discount. One thousand officers and soldiers can only be regarded as the combat power of 300 people."
She said it very bluntly, but no one found it harsh, because the officers and soldiers were indeed so bad that they were not talking nonsense.
"What should I do? I really can't find the troops..." Hu Zhongxian frowned tightly.
"That's not necessarily true!" The girl of Death stretched out ten fingers and said, "Give me a 100,000 taels of agency fee, I'll find you enough troops! This fee is very cheap."
"One hundred thousand taels?" Yi Yun jumped up: "Why don't you go to grab the money house?"
Hu Zhongxian looked at a group of civil servants. In fact, they thought it was quite cost-effective to save a city of 100,000 taels, but the money raised by Hu Zhongxian was invested in military construction, city construction, and naval construction at the last meeting. There was no such much money for the civil servants to raise funds once, and they still wanted them to get the money. It was a huge difficulty.
While everyone was staring at each other and trying to find someone to pay for it, they suddenly heard the timid voice of Cai Rou, the king of Qiantang, saying pitifully: "I have 100,000 taels!"
When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed. Although this guy was timid, anyone could step on it. After all, he was a royal relative and always had a little wealth. There would never be a second prince like the Jinling King who was penniless and cheated on buns everywhere.
Cai Rou reached into her arms, touched her not-so-full chest for a while, and found a folded silver note. The silver note was folded very cutely and looked quite delicately. She spread the silver note, looked carefully, and smiled and said, "It's indeed 100,000 taels... I saved it for a long time..."
King Qiantang is too weak, so there are no civil servants and generals who give her filial piety money. He has never embezzled and bribed her, nor has he exploited the people. Her money is all given by the court, so she is not very rich. But after all, she is a child of aristocratic families for more than a thousand years, and her family always has some savings. So, the pocket money she saves is 100,000 taels!
A group of civil servants and military generals blinked and couldn't help but think in their hearts: Sure enough, the lean camel is bigger than a horse.
Cai Rou put the 100,000 taels of silver notes into the hands of the Death Girl and said softly: "I heard that as long as the people in Sanjiang Pavilion collect money, they will definitely do good things. I can trust you and pay you the money first. You must find someone to help me guard my home."
The girl from Death glanced at the silver notes, stuffed them into her arms with great satisfaction, and smiled and said, "One hundred thousand taels is just my agency fee. If you want to invite the army, you have to prepare another hundred thousand taels of silver reward, otherwise why should they sacrifice their lives and sprinkle their blood?"
"What? You still have to spend 100,000?" Cai Rou was shocked.
Yi Yun next to him was very dissatisfied and shouted to the girl of Death: "Hey, don't bully my cousin, otherwise I will bully you!"
When the officials heard this, Wow, King Jiashan was indeed strong. He threatened to bully the assassination leader like the Sanjiang Pavilion Pavilion Master. It was so cruel! Aren’t you afraid of being cut off in the middle of the night?
But the matter of sweating even more was still behind. The Lord of the Sanjiang Pavilion blinked aggrievedly: "I didn't bully her. I am a fifth-level god of death. If I send an agent once, I have to charge a 100,000 taels of agency fee, right? And I am going to invite heroes from the martial arts world. These people only recognize silver, and it is difficult to ask for it without a 100,000 taels."
"Wow!" The terrifying Sanjiang Pavilion Master actually spoke to King Jiashan like a young wife, and the civil and military officials were shocked.
Yi Yun hummed, "Didn't you just charge ten taels for me to work? Now it's one hundred thousand taels? You are really unconventional."
"You... can you be the same as other people?" The girl from Death said depressedly: "I can pay for you if I do something, but I must not pay for other people. I must make money."
"Wow!" The civil officials and military generals were completely shocked. The Sanjiang Pavilion Master was famous all over the world. She actually paid for Prince Jiashan. This... the sun was about to come out from the west.
Cold sweat flowed all over the floor.
"Can you get a discount? It's up to my cousin!"
"no!"
"Wow, you're such a damn person!"
The two were still arguing, and the people next to them could no longer bear it. Cai Rou reached into her chest, touched her left and right, took out a silver note from the closest small purse, pouted, and handed it to the girl of the Death God pitifully: "This is one hundred thousand taels... My last money is the dowry money left to me by my deceased mother... Woo... give it all to you. Anyway, no one is willing to marry a woman like me, and it is useless to marry a dowry."
Everyone: "..."
Wow, I knew you had a dowry of 100,000 taels, and I wonder how many men were going to marry you!
Seeing that Cai Rou was too pitiful, Yi Yun couldn't help but say to the Death Girl: "Hey, Death Girl, don't be too much. Even the money for someone else's dowry is too much?"
The girl of Death snorted coldly, took the 100,000 taels of silver bill, and put it in her arms: "I care whether this silver is a dowry or not. Sanjiang Pavilion has no money that is not profitable... But... little sister, don't worry, since Sanjiang Pavilion has taken over the task, even if you fight your life, you will complete it. Although you have no dowry, at least your family can be saved. I will set off now and find reinforcements."
"Now you can say, what reinforcements are you going to invite?" Hu Zhongxian asked.
"Well..." The girl from Death said seriously: "You have always focused on the regular army of the court, and have snatched the forces of the rivers and lakes. In fact, in this Jiangnan, there are two large gangs who can also invite wars. One is the famous Beggars' Sect, which is a famous Cao Gang!"
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized.
