The winner is king in the late Ming Dynasty

"Lin Shuai, the envoy of King Chuang has arrived, do you want to meet him?" Lin Yi asked rhetorically: "How long does it take to get from our side to Beijing?" The subordinates replied: "Take the Grand Canal, it will take four months to get to Nanjing, and as long as the canal is not blocked, it will take almost five months to go to Beijing, and it is hard to say if you are slow!".

Lin Yi began to calculate, he knew it in his heart, and his subordinates wondered, why didn't Lin Yi ask about the envoy, but asked about the distance, Lin Yi was calculating, now it's almost May, the envoy is here, Lin Yi wants to send the envoy to do the game.

It takes six months to go to Beijing, if Chongzhen has no accident, he will be hanged on the coal mountain in April next year, Lin Yi wants to entrust this messenger for a month, and then let him go back, as for what he talked about, Lin Yi knew that it was all nonsense, how could Lin Yi succumb to Li Zicheng, it was all to collect the peasant army.

After calculating, Lin Yi met with the envoy, the envoy was called Shenghua who was not very famous in history, with a beard, and he was very surprised after seeing Lin Yi, and asked: "Marshal Lin, what's the matter with your hair?" Lin Yi looked at the tea and explained: "The Ming army killed the good and risked the merits, I worshiped King Chuang, and I couldn't see the people suffering, so I cut my hair, which is considered to be a shaved ambition, and many of the officers and generals under me have also been reduced, we can die in battle, and we can't let the people suffer!"

Sheng Hua stood up, arched his hand and said: "I admire, this matter must be said in the whole army, and the prestige of the marshal will be raised!" Lin Yi hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Sheng Hua's hand, "General, you have a good reputation, my little trick is compared to King Chuang, what is it, please sit down!"

Sheng Hua sat down, Lin Yi began to talk, first said that Li Zicheng was good, and then complained about grievances, Lin Yi said: "I took advantage of the locust plague to raise troops, claiming that there were 200,000 soldiers and horses, but in fact, the number of troops was less than 20,000, and there were no horses, only ten, a few days ago, the Guangdong garrison surrounded and suppressed me, saying that more than 30,000 people died, in fact, there are not so many, and now I can barely hold this family business, I don't know when King Chuang will come!".

Sheng Hua said: "Marshal Lin is not right, when I didn't come here, I heard that you have more than 200,000 soldiers, and the Ming army is not your opponent at all!" Lin Yi shook his head helplessly and continued to complain: "General, you also know that not everyone can fight a war, my old brother can only fight 20,000 people, and I have 300,000 people, it's not the same thing, we are all our own family, and I don't hide it from you, general, I am short of food and clothes now, and I am okay with the foundation, just wait for King Chuang and I will be together!"

Lin Yi is pretending, after Lin Yi and the messenger talked a lot, Sheng Hua knew in his heart, Lin Yi took Sheng Hua to see that the training was all basic training, and the trenches were not shown to him, Sheng Hua only heard about it, and he couldn't see the real thing at all.

However, Sheng Hua is also a caring person, not all the people he brought are here, there are many people mixed in, look at the situation, after a few days, he has an intuitive understanding of Lin Yi, thinking that Lin Yi is sincere, mainly to find King Chuang to ask for military salary, Lin Yi is three sentences do not leave the military salary.

Regarding Lin Yi's initial strength, Sheng Hua felt that Lin Yi had more than 40,000 combatable soldiers, guns and the like, but Lin Yi didn't show him, afraid that he was going to go, so he took him around blindly, accompanied by good wine and food.

Soon a month will come, Lin Yi is ready to drive people away, Shenghua's task has been completed, he assigned two tasks to Lin Yi, the first is to take Guangzhou, the second is to take Guilin, waiting for King Chuang to come.

Li Zicheng promised Lin Yi 500,000 silver salary, Lin Yi knew that it was impossible to see the 500,000 military salary in this life, when Lin Yi sent Sheng Hua away, he stuffed three gold bars and advised: "General Sheng must say good things about me in front of King Chuang, and at least I will be crowned a marshal, thank you!"

Sheng Hua was not polite, and took his brothers to report to King Chuang to the north, Lin Yi felt a lot more comfortable after watching these people leave, and began to deal with his own affairs normally.

Guangzhou has begun to be chaotic, Wuju people are uncomfortable rolling at home, after Boss Xie was raided, Guangzhou was the first to start to run out of aristocratic happy powder, which is a trouble.

Without this thing, all the people who had smoked began to make trouble, they were not ordinary people, they were all nobles, rich people, people with status and status, on the black market, the price of pollen rose to eighty taels of silver a bag.

The most pitiful thing is the woman in the Qinglou, and there are those poor scholars, these people started to taste a fresh, or chase the trend, and now after the stock is out, they can't afford to buy it, not to mention, it's uncomfortable.

Chen Ye was very uncomfortable, he tried not to use it for three days, he was very uncomfortable, he had money and power, and hoarded a little goods from the black market, but many of his people couldn't stand it, he felt that this was not good, and he was ready to ask Lin Yi for goods.

Lin Yi ignored him at all, and took a sip of pollen, Chen Ye felt a little better, but he didn't have the strength of that kind of pure powder, and now the price of pure powder has risen to two hundred and twenty-three taels of silver a pack, is it a box before, and it may not be enough to get it if you have money.

Suck, shalt, Chen Ye snorted and asked his subordinates, "Have the things been done for the people who went to Lin Yi's side?" The subordinates said: "There is no letter, I don't know what happened!" Chen

Ye yawned: "Tell them, two hundred taels a box, this is my reserve price!" The people below went to inform them, Lin Yi got the news here, the price given by Chen Ye was one hundred taels a box, Lin Yi was ready to card them for another two months before releasing the goods, at least salt and iron can be traded.

"Sister is not good, Sister Hua is not good!" After Bian Yujing heard the news, she hurriedly went out to see, this sister of hers, playing with the guests, smoked too much happy powder, and everyone was cold.

Liu Ru is a few of them, all on the side, and someone died, but the big thing, that son, the whole person was in a trance, like falling into the clouds, still laughing and going crazy.

"This is really a harmful thing!" Bian Yujing was very helpless, this is not the first time, there have been three lives, and these people are still enjoying this kind of thing.

Lin Yi has three more lives on his back, Lin Yi is looking at the map with his eyebrows on his face at the moment, Guangxi's plan is surprisingly smooth, and now he has taken the designated place, and the free pistol is indispensable.

"Call Mao Mingzhi and Zhen Tianyi!" Lin Yi ordered, the two regiment commanders came over, Lin Yi began to arrange tasks, this time he needed to transport machinery, and brought the factory workers over, Lin Yi invested in two regiments at a time, but they were all people who could fight on Lin Yi's side.

After Lin Yi explained the task, he exhorted: "Pay attention to protecting the safety of skilled workers, when necessary, anything can be used, you must ensure the normal production of the mine, do you understand?"

The two regiment commanders said that they understood, and after going back, they took Lin Yi's elite five thousand soldiers and horses, seven thousand workers, and began to migrate with machinery, and Lin Yi was sent to a place where he could not send it himself, and the time was already May.
