The rise of the poor

Chapter 1480
Not long after the first Tang soldier entered Yingtian Mansion, another Tang soldier with a small flag on his back entered Yingtian Mansion soon.

"Did you see, there is another Tang Bing, it must be about the Japanese pirates in Shangyu again, it seems to be Lien Chan Lian Jie."

"Well, that makes sense."

"Why is there another Tang soldier reporting the letter? Could it be that something happened in the front?!"

"Hehe, you are really worrying. What's the matter, seeing that 'Zhao Kuo' is alone, do you want to accompany him too?! What are you thinking about? You, the three thousand coalition forces suppressing the Japanese, what will happen? It's really worrying!"

"Yeah, what I said is true, what kind of accidents can there be when the three thousand coalition forces wiped out the eighty Japanese pirates?"

When the people of Yingtian City saw Tang Bing, they began to discuss among themselves, most of them were very optimistic.

Tang Bing rushed into the Ministry of War.

After Shi Pengfei reported the first Tang newspaper, he left Zhang Jing's room and returned to his own room.Walking to the duty room, seeing a scribe waiting outside the duty room, he couldn't help frowning slightly, "Who are you?! What's the matter?!"

"Master Shi, the younger one is the clerk under Commander Miao Yinmiao, whose humble name is Du Wenchang, and is ordered by Commander Miao to come to see your lord."

Du Wenchang bowed and replied.

"You are a scribe under General Miao's command. Hmph, General Miao has been defeated again and again to suppress the Japanese. How can you come to see me?" Shi Pengfei snorted coldly when he heard this, and waved his hands. "Go back, I'm sorry for not accepting the official."

"Lord Shi, please calm down. There is something else hidden about this defeat. General Miao ordered the younger one to come and report." Du Wenchang explained.

"Hidden secrets?! Heh, what hidden secrets can there be after one defeat after another?! Go and tell Miao Yin that Master Shangshu is very angry and the consequences will be serious. Let him take care of himself!" Shi Pengfei waved his hands and looked coldly. Zhang Lian issued an order to evict the guest.

"My lord, there is really another secret. My lord, please read it. The secret is contained in this letter." Du Wenchang held back, explaining, and took out a bulging envelope from his sleeve, opened the seal, and showed it to him secretly. Shi Pengfei.

"What's there to hide?" Shi Pengfei said disdainfully, halfway through speaking, his eyes caught a glimpse of a thick stack of banknotes in the envelope, his eyes lit up, and he swallowed the words that followed.

Um? !This bank note is the hard currency of the Richang Company, it can be redeemed upon sight, it is not a treasure banknote issued by the imperial court, depending on the color, this bank note should be a 100 tael denomination bank note.Judging by the thickness, there are about twenty sheets of this father.

That is 2000 taels of silver! !
2000 taels!

This is a huge sum of money.

Seeing the face of the bank note, Shi Pengfei's face changed from cold to milder, he nodded slightly, and said in a warm voice, "Well, there is really something else going on, ahem, come in now, and tell me in detail."

"Thank you, sir." Du Wenchang said happily.

After about a cup of tea, Du Wenchang came out of Shi Pengfei's room with a happy face, and Shi Pengfei personally delivered it with a gentle face, the sleeves were heavy, obviously the two had a pleasant conversation.

"My lord, please stop." Du Wenchang bowed again and again.

"Hehe, Du Wenshu walk slowly and tell Commander Miao that the secret is known to me, and I should do my best not to make meritorious people guilty, and not to let the soldiers shed blood, sweat and tears." Shi Pengfei smiled.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir." Du Wenchang thanked repeatedly and returned satisfied.

As soon as Shi Pengfei sent Du Wenchang away, the minor official of the military department brought up the second pond newspaper from the Tang soldiers. Shi Pengfei took the pond newspaper, opened it, read it quickly, turned around and walked quickly to Zhang Jing's room without any delay.

"Master Shi, why did you go and come back again?" Zhang Jing couldn't help asking when he saw Shi Pengfei walking in again with a pond newspaper.

"My lord, there is another Tang newspaper about the Japanese pirates in Shangyu." Shi Pengfei explained.

"Oh, read it, I want to hear and see if there is any bad news."

Zhang Jing took a breath, calmed down the emotions disturbed by the first Tang newspaper, and said slowly.

"Returning to my lord, the Tang newspaper records: After 57 Japanese pirates from Shangyu burned the south bank of Wuhu Lake, in the flames and black smoke, they rushed across the north bank of Wuhu Lake and went straight to Wuhu County. Fortunately, Wuhu County was full of soldiers and never slacked off. They discovered the whereabouts of the Japanese pirates in time. , At the critical moment, before the Japanese pirates entered the city, they cut off the moat bridge and closed the city gates for defense. tracked."

Shi Pengfei opened the pond newspaper and reported.

"The thief is really cunning and rampant!" Zhang Jing couldn't help but patted the table and cursed angrily.

A mere 57 pirates set fire to the south bank, attracting everyone's attention, but raided the north bank of the river and attacked Wuhu County. Fortunately, Wuhu County was full of soldiers and discovered the whereabouts of the pirates in time, otherwise Wuhu County would not be safe!

Therefore, Zhang Jing couldn't help scolding the Japanese pirates, treacherous and rampant!
"Three thousand coalition forces encircled and wiped out the Japanese pirates, but were defeated by the Japanese pirates. We can only close the city gates and watch the Japanese pirates show off their power! Lord Shi, immediately order the relevant officials to report the details of the battle truthfully. I will hold them accountable!"

Zhang Jing ordered Shi Pengfei.

Shi Pengfei heard the words, thought of the huge sum of money sent by Jianyang Wei Miaoyin, ah no, it was a "hidden feeling", rolled his eyes, and stepped forward to suggest: "My lord, calm down, look at these two pond newspapers, it is true that Commander Miao and Zeng Qianhu and others were defeated by the Japanese pirates, and they should be held accountable, but they are not without a little credit. My lord, please read the Tang newspaper. When the Japanese pirates raided Wuhu County, there were only 57 people. Before this war, the Japanese pirates were full There were more than 57 people, and now there are only [-] Japanese pirates left. It can be seen from this that Commander Miao, Zeng Qianhu and other coalition forces suppressed the Japanese with [-] people. Although they were defeated by the Japanese pirates, they also killed more than [-] Japanese pirates. One meritorious service. Before, the Japanese pirates in Shangyu successively attacked the city and pulled out the villages, defeating the officers and troops from all over the country, never had such a loss.”

"In addition, my lord, please read the second Fengtang newspaper. 57 Japanese pirates set fire to the south bank of Wuhu Lake, rushed across the north bank, and attacked Wuhu County. Wuhu County cut off the moat bridge and closed the city gate. It can be seen that the 57 Japanese pirates no longer have the ability to attack the city and do evil again. They can only hide their whereabouts. It is estimated that this group of Japanese pirates will flee overseas in the future.”

"If they are held accountable, the Japanese pirates in Shangyu have traveled more than [-] miles since they landed. They have defeated officers and soldiers from all over the country. None of them can be spared, too many involvements may make the people of all prefectures and counties panic, which is not conducive to the overall situation of the anti-Japanese war. In addition, Commander Miao has been defeated and fought repeatedly, and his spirit is commendable. The current Japanese plague is serious, and it is time to employ people. Please think twice .”

Hearing this, Zhang Jing was silent for a long time, then waved his hands, "Master Shi, you go down first, I'll think about it later."
