I'm a big dick

Chapter 40 Liaodong Urgent Report, Mao Wenlong leads the order
And the amount of these grain and grass materials is not a total loss.You must know that they are not locally produced in western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning. They have gone through untold hardships and used countless manpower and material resources to transport them from the inland.

According to the road conditions and transportation capacity in ancient times, the losses and expenses on the way were very high.If the journey is too long, or if it is all land, the loss can reach [-]% to [-]%.

Therefore, there is a saying in the book of war: If food is fed for thousands of miles, soldiers will look hungry.Cuan after Qiaosu, the teacher is not full.If a husband transports grain for a thousand miles, there is no food for a year, for two thousand miles, there is no food for two years, and for three thousand miles, there is no food for three years.

In other words, if a war that required long-distance grain transportation was to be fought in ancient times, it would be enough to drag down a country's finances.

Although the transportation of grain and grass materials to Guangning can be done by sea first, transited in Juehua or Youtun and other places, landed and then transported to various guards, the consumption and cost reached [-]-[-]%, which is not too much.

In this way, the astonishing loss in the Guangning War is enough to punish Xiong Tingbi and behead him.

Injustice, it is wrong to say that it is wrong, and there is a basis for saying that it is not wrong, and it is not fabricated out of thin air.

After reading the memorial book, Zhu Youxiao felt relieved, and seeing Wang Tigan as a slave was even more pleasing to the eye.

He didn't do the job of reporting this kind of report, but he came to deliver it himself. It was right to flatter, but this slave knew what he wanted the most.

"Get up, don't kneel there and block your eyes." Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything good, went back to the chair and sat down, and read the memorial book carefully again.

Wang Tiqian got up from the ground, and stood with a smile on his face.Looking at the emperor's expression and tone of voice, he knew that he had won a favor.

It's not about asking for a reward. An eunuch who has achieved the seal of the supervisor of ceremonies is already considered a godsend. Can he still be crowned a king and a marquis?

As long as the emperor is happy and he can secure his position as the eunuch of the palm seal, that is the greatest reward.

Holding the high and stepping down the low, the eunuch's struggle for power is not much worse than that in the officialdom.Wang Tiqian knew that if he lost power, only Wei Zhongxian, whom he had offended, would have to hold back his strength to kill him.

So, all in all, in the final analysis, pleasing the emperor is the safest way to survive.

"The news from Liaodong has arrived, and the ones from Tianjin and Denglai must be coming soon." Zhu Youxiao patted the armrest of the chair lightly, estimating the time and guessing.

Wang Tiqian bowed and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is very right. Traveling by sea is faster than traveling by horse. Although it may be two days later to receive the imperial edict, it is time and there should be an answer."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, and suddenly asked: "What about the things I asked you to take, didn't you forget?"

"The emperor's orders, servants must never forget." Wang Tiqian hurriedly took out a small box from his arms, and presented it with both hands with a charming smile.

Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand to take it, nodded with a smile, and said, "Well, I'm still working hard on my errands. Well, you can step back first! If there is a report from Tianjin or Denglai, no matter what time it is, it's midnight. Send the report immediately."

"Yes, the servant obeys the order." Wang Tiqian bowed and stepped back, the corner of his eye glanced at Zhang Yuer, with complicated meanings.

Zhu Youxiao opened the small brocade box and looked at it. It was a bracelet inlaid with red gold and jade.This is not an ordinary thing, but a mark used when choosing queens and concubines.

That is to say, in the final judgment of the beauty pageant, the queen mother or concubine sits behind the curtain, and the show girls enter in groups of three in turn.If the Empress Dowager or the Concubine is a good match, she will be given a red gold and jade bracelet, and the maid will wear it on the spot.For those who are not selected, the palace maid will put a few silver coins in the sleeve of the beautiful lady.

Zhang Yan has one, which was given by Concubine Liu.Although the emperor will choose in the end, Zhang Yan will at least become a concubine.

"Yu'er, come here." Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand to greet him.

Zhang Yu'er didn't know why, so she came to the front and bowed to obey.

"You recite nursery rhymes well. This is my reward." Zhu Youxiao smiled and took Zhang Yuer's hand, and put the bracelet on her.

Zhang Yu'er was pleasantly surprised, and bowed down to Xie En, "I thank the emperor for the reward."

Just now Wang Tiqian took the box, the emperor took it, and Zhang Yuer saw it.She knew that this was not a reward for reciting nursery rhymes, but that the emperor had long wanted to do so, but he was just making up an excuse.

The emperor has himself in his heart, Zhang Yuer peeked at the bracelet on his wrist, feeling very happy and sweet.

Zhu Youxiao was also looking at the bracelet on Zhang Yueryu's wrist, pursing the corners of his mouth slightly, um, this bracelet is like handcuffs, now it's "handcuffed", let's see where are you going?
Why don't you get another one, put a chain in the middle, and play some exciting games with this girl at night?Zhu Youxiao grinned, showing a wicked smile.

...................
Phi Island is located at the mouth of the Yalu River, in the middle of Liaodong, North Korea and Denglai.

"History of the Ming Dynasty" records that Phi Island, also known as the Dongjiang River, is adjacent to the Denglai Sea. It is eighty miles long and has no vegetation. The north bank is separated from Houjinjie by eighty miles of sea.

At this time, Phi Island has been silent for a long time, but it ushered in the most lively day.

In the first year of Tianqi, under the order of the governor Wang Huazhen, Mao Wenlong, the governor of the capital, led four people including Qian Zong Zhang Pan, 200 soldiers, and four boats to Liaodong to recruit soldiers with [-] shi of military rations.

Later, taking advantage of the emptiness of Zhenjiang's post-Jin army guards, Mao Wenlong took the Ming army and Liao people in the city as internal responses, and succeeded in a surprise attack in one fell swoop, occupying Zhenjiang, known as the "Zhenjiang Victory" in history.

Then, the Hou Jin army counterattacked Zhenjiang City, Mao Wenlong was defeated, withdrew from Zhenjiang, and once retreated into North Korea.

At the suggestion of Chief Qian Li Jingxian, Mao Wenlong led the remnant army and tens of thousands of fleeing Liao people to Phi Island and Kuandian Island for a temporary rest.

There are only two islands, tens of thousands of refugees, and thousands of exhausted soldiers who have just formed an army. Mao Wenlong never dreamed that there would be an imperial envoy, accompanied by Luo Sigong, the commander of Jinyiwei.

"Thank you for the decree, long live, long live, long live!" Mao Wenlong kowtowed and raised his hand, accepting the imperial decree excitedly.

Mao Wenlong was not promoted to rank, but 10 taels of internal money was withdrawn to reward the army, and the [-] navy in Dengzhen was temporarily placed under his command.

In addition, a batch of food and grass materials were also given to the Liaodong refugees on the two islands to tide over the difficulties temporarily and to arm an army of 5000 people.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao ordered Mao Wenlong to take action to harass and attack Houjin from the coast in response to the Guangning War.

Mao Wenlong recruited tens of thousands of refugees, and selected the strong and strong among them. It was not difficult to recruit 5000 people, but the difficulty was weapons and equipment.

With the armored weapons, swords, shields and spears supported by Dengzhen, Mao Wenlong's confidence greatly increased.Harassment and attack, we're good at it!

However, Mao Wenlong stood up in response to the order, and secretly glanced at Luo Sigong, the commander of Jinyiwei.

With just such an imperial decree, how could this frightening spy chief and second-rank official be labored?
Luo Sigong didn't stare at Mao Wenlong endlessly, but he kept observing his behavior and speech performance.
