Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Zheng Hongkui said as he handed the cargo list to Gong Yonggu.

When Gong Yonggu saw that it said [-] shi of grain, [-] jin of fruits and vegetables, [-] sets of cotton-padded clothes, and some weapons and armor, he hurriedly bowed down and paid homage.

"Brother Zheng has solved my urgent problem.

To be honest, the food I have here can still last for two months.

However, there were no fruits and vegetables at all.

Even the sprouting soybeans and mung beans were gone. "

Gong Yonggu smiled bitterly:

"If they cannot eat vegetables for a long time, the soldiers will gradually begin to bleed from their gums, become constipated and have bloody stools, and even die from ulcers all over their bodies."

These things Zheng Hongkui gave him were not cheap!

Gong Yonggu gave a grand ceremony.

Zheng Hongkui hurriedly pulled Gong Yonggu up and said:

"The weapons are mine, and my opponents are not strong, so I can spare some for you.

Food and cotton-padded clothes were bought from Ezo.

These things are not valuable, but they are just a little thought from me to the brothers. "

After hearing that Zheng Hongkui paid for these things out of his own pocket, Gong Yonggu quickly thanked him.

Zheng Hongkui collected enough supplies for him to survive the severe cold in such a short period of time, which was a great kindness.

After Gong Yonggu thanked him, he asked:

"Brother Zheng, I can't thank you enough for your help.

How much these things are worth, I paid double to Brother Zheng. "

"If you say that, I will take you away!"

Zheng Hongkui refused with a smile and said seriously:

"You and I are ministers of the same palace, and it's time for us to work together to help each other.

Brother Gong, slave work is really hard.

Brother Gong came here resolutely for the sake of the country.

Zheng Hongkui was in awe of Brother Gong's righteousness.

A little money is nothing!

Besides, His Majesty gave Zheng Hongkui great wealth and honor, and it was his duty to help Brother Gong solve some minor troubles.

It's a pity that what Zheng did was not good enough!

Although there are not many of these things, they are the limit of what I can find in Ezo..."

Hearing what Zheng Hongkui said, Gong Yonggu took back his words about giving money.

He laughed:

"Since Brother Zheng has said so, if I force Brother Zheng to accept the money again, it will be my fault!"

Gong Yonggu stood up and took out a box from the drawer behind him. After opening it, there were three one-foot-long ginseng inside.

Just by looking at the appearance, you can tell that this is a century-old ginseng.

"We are all in the military, so we will inevitably get injured and bleed.

These three ginseng roots were obtained by my younger brother from the Hezhe tribe.

Today, I will give this gift to Brother Zheng in return. "

Zheng Hongkui laughed and reached out to take the box:

"If that's the case, then it's better to be respectful than to obey!"

Zheng Hongkui accepted the ginseng and looked at the narrow window of Dusi Yamen.

He opened his mouth and said:

"His Majesty opened a glass workshop in Handu.

Produced in large pieces of glass.

This thing, installed on the window, can not only keep warm, but also let the room have good lighting.

After I return to Handu, I will bring some to Brother Gong. "

As soon as Handu was mentioned, Gong Yonggu became interested and immediately asked about it carefully.

When Zheng Hongkui slowly left, the prosperity of the Han capital was revealed.

After finishing, he sighed:

“It has been three months since I left Handu this time.

Every time I go to Handu, I will sigh with emotion at the rapid development of Handu under His Majesty's governance.

It’s been three months! "

Zheng Hongkui said with emotion:

"When I return to Handu next time, I'm afraid I won't be able to believe my eyes!"

After hearing Zheng Hongkui's words, Gong Yonggu yearned endlessly.

……

After a long time, Gong Yonggu sighed:

"As long as the Ming Dynasty can prosper, my little brother will be a slave, so what does it matter?"

only……

Gong Yonggu's eyes were full of memories.

It has been almost a year, and I don’t know whether my children have gained weight or lost weight...

……

With the arrival of Zheng Hongkui, Gong Yonggubu, who had already eaten all the vegetables, finally saw green again.

Although most of them are green vegetables and radishes, the soldiers' food tastes better than meat.

What Gong Yonggu entertained Zheng Hongkui were all kinds of wild animals brought by the soldiers.

The rich Nuergan opened Zheng Hongkui's eyes.

Bear paw, muntjac deer liver, tiger whip...

There was even a two-foot-long salmon.

At the banquet, Zheng Hongkui asked curiously:

"Brother Gong, why don't you see Brother Liu?"

His Majesty sent Gong Yonggu and Liu Wenbing to Nurgan to restore the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Why did Liu Wenbing not see Liu Wenbing when we arrived today?

Gong Yonggu's eyes flashed, and in just a moment, he returned to normal.

As if he had made up his mind, he waved all the attendants to exit.

Zheng Hongkui took a look and knew that there was a secret, so he also asked his personal followers to exit the hall.

Gong Yonggu lowered his voice, lay on the table, stretched his neck, and got closer to Zheng Hongkui.

His right hand was still holding his chest as if he was afraid that his clothes would be stained with vegetable soup.

He lowered his voice and explained:

"Brother Zheng doesn't know, but in October, we received a secret report that there was a valley within the Hezhe clan's territory, and the creek at the bottom of the valley was full of golden sand!"

(Mohe Laojingou)

what?

Zheng Hongkui's eyes widened.

Gong Yonggu whispered:

"Mr. Liu and I went to check, and the amount of gold sand picked up in the creek alone amounted to tens of thousands of kilograms!

Lord Liu was worried about where he was, so he led a group of soldiers and stationed them here. "

Zheng Hongkui's face was full of shock.

Tens of thousands of catties of gold sand?

Is this just picked up in the creek?

Then if it is mined, won't a mountain of gold be piled up?

How did Zheng Hongkui know that this gold mine contributed 2 taels of gold to the Qing court in the first year of mining?

The old witch took the gold and exchanged it for rouge from the Westerners. Then she smiled happily and named Lao Jingou "Rougegou"...

Later, Lao Jingou was snatched away by Russia.

The gold stolen by Maozi alone was as high as 22 taels.

This is not counting the gold stolen by the Japanese pirates!

Here is a veritable golden mountain!

It is said that the river in Laojingou is covered with golden sand and is five hundred miles long...

……

For a moment, Zheng Hongkui's heart moved.

However, in just a moment, he regained his composure.

Isn’t it just gold?

What a shit!

There is a lot of gold and silver in Japan!

He had just started to contact various famous people, and it was a good time to make money.

Sooner or later, all the gold and silver of the Japanese pirates will be his!

Don’t let the small lose the big!

Seeing that the heat in Zheng Hongkui's eyes quickly disappeared, Gong Yonggu slowly put down the gun in his arms.

This short gun was given to him by Zheng Hongkui when he came here last time.

"Tell your Majesty quickly!"

Zheng Hongkui's face was full of eagerness:

"You have too few people here, so we still need to ask His Majesty to send more troops."

Hearing what Zheng Hongkui said, Gong Yonggu was completely relieved.
