Chapter 219: Replacing Defense with Offense

"Have you seen the new currency?"

At this time, a Taoist on a table in the corner asked curiously.

When the little brother saw it, he didn't dare to be negligent and smiled, "Master Dao is very careful. The villain has indeed seen the new coins. Not only have he seen them, but there are a few in his pocket."

Everyone was surprised and said, "My second brother took it out and took a look, so we can know it."

The second brother smiled and took out a few brilliant and cute new coins from his waist, shook them in front of everyone, and quickly took them back, looking cautious, which made people funny.

Everyone had seen the new coins, but they didn't read enough, and said, "My little brother is so generous. How can I just take a look? Look again, look again."

The Taoist smiled and said, "This new coin is as cute as the second brother said. I am so cute. I am here, and I am so jealous. I might as well do this. I will exchange the silver for you here, how about it?"

The little brother was stunned and said, "Dao Master is joking. The above is changing new coins, so let's talk about the moon. If Dao Master wants new coins, Zhuxian Town can be exchanged in front. The villain is only a few big children, and the total amount is only a few dozen cents."

The Taoist smiled and said, "It's okay to look around first."

As he said that, he took out some broken silver and handed it to the waiter. The waiter said happily: "You are merciful to you, the villain is not polite."

The Taoist had less than one or two taels of silver in his hand. He took it to Zhuxian Town to exchange it, and it would cost more than one hundred yuan.

The exchange rate between new coins and old coins is rated at 100 yuan per tael of silver. And nowadays, shopping for new coins on the market is often more cost-effective than using silver, so he has made a lot of money here.

The Taoist took a handful of new coins from the child's hand, weighed them, looked carefully, and his eyes narrowed slightly. Then he put the new coins into his cuffs without hesitation, and smiled and said, "Eat and drink enough, I will say goodbye."

So he left the tavern.

The man left the tavern and took big steps, walking like the wind, as if shrinking into an inch, and he left in the blink of an eye.

"Gold is not gold, silver is not silver. It is not only tough, but also somewhat mysterious. This new coin..." The Taoist was muttering in his heart.

While walking, he stroked a new coin, felt the indelible patterns on it, and his eyes were extremely deep.

"It's time to come back, let's see the dragon and see what it looks like..."

...

"Sending troops in April is no longer as cold as winter."

Ying Yi was playing chess with someone.

He was not good at chess, but during this period he was influenced by Zheng Yunzhi, and became interested and learned a few moves. He had time to talk to Zheng Yunzhi for a game or enjoy it with Sun Xiucai. This is not counting. The two concubines in the inner courtyard are both masters.

Chen Yuanyuan and Li Xiangjun are from courtesans and are not currently on the mainstream, but they are both good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting. When it comes to playing chess, Ying Yi can't play either.

There is no need to grasp the identity in the boudoir. In addition to being embarrassed, he holds down the gun and kills it, and enjoys himself.

Now Ying Yi is playing chess with Yan Ermei.

Yan Ermei arrived in Kaifeng earlier. After seeing Ying Yi, she was moved by his words and deeds and stayed here. She was the recruited official and was transferred to Ying Yi a few days ago.

However, Ying Yi once said that in the future, the promotion of officials would not be dominated by the provincial and ministerial yamen, but should be in his own hands.

Because all the achievements of officials are clearly visible on the humanitarian list. For example, if the achievements of the Ming Dynasty were determined, they would need to be inspected in Beijing and a huge Ministry of Personnel were required to manage them. But Ying Yi did not need them here.

Just have to have a team of personnel secretaries.

Yan Ermei is the current team.

Therefore, I often follow Ying Yi.

Yan Ermei is naturally a talented person. After becoming an official, he put forward many important suggestions, which enriched many of the structures and government orders of the provincial governor's yamen, and had a strong ability to execute, which was highly appreciated by Zheng Yunzhi. If he had not been transferred to Ying Yi, he would have been promoted to the next department of the provincial governor's yamen soon.

After all, there are five departments under the provincial government office, and now Zheng Yunzhi is still in charge of the Renhu Department and the Agricultural Department, and the location is vacant.

"The war between the north and the south has always been mostly in winter. Why is the reason?" Yan Ermei smiled and said, "It is because the river is frozen in the cold winter and there are no more natural barriers, so you can cross the river without a boat. In April, the spring water is vast, and crossing the river requires boats."

Ying Yi laughed and nodded, "No, but most of the shipbuilding matters are in Jiangnan."

Yan Ermei smiled and said, "Although Henan is in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not difficult to collect ships of all sizes."

"It is not difficult to search for ships, but Hou Xun is in Hebei, with more than 70,000 troops, but it is not a small number." Ying Yi smiled slightly and fell a word.

Yan Ermei said: "My lord is taking the exam for the school. Although Hou Xun has more than 70,000 troops, they are all chaotic and difficult to get a good place. How can we compare to the elite soldiers and generals under the lord? What's more, at this time, Hou Xun is afraid of being free and blocking himself by the natural barrier. If he attacks him at this time, he will not have time to react. With the lord's army, he only needs to cross three or five thousand people to defend the river bank. I would like to understand what Hou Xun can do. Then the army rushed by, and Hou Xun was defeated in a daze."

Ying Yi laughed loudly when he heard this: "Mr. Yan is the one who knows me."

He said, "That's true. Although I was encouraging in the military, Hou Xun was afraid that I would not expect that I would send troops in April. With the loose force of the Ming court, I will definitely not be my opponent."

Yan Ermei said respectfully: "The lord is hard to have a rival."

But he said: "However, it is easy to advance to Hebei, but the rear has to be guarded. If the lord wants to destroy the Ming Dynasty, he must be careful of the Ming army in various places to serve the king, especially Huainan and Jiangnan. Even Guanzhong and Huguang, he must also pay attention to some points."

Ying Yi put down the chess piece: "I hope to hear the details."

Yan Ermei said: "Although the capital could not control Jiangnan, it was still orthodox. Although the Shigong of Huainan was pedantic, it was impossible to watch his lord advance north. He supervised the canal and connected the north and south. It would be very convenient to send troops to rescue him. He also said that Huguang, Guanzhong-Huguang soldiers were crippled long ago, which was not worth worrying. Guanzhong was also ruined, and it was not worth worrying. However, there were powerful figures in Sichuan."

Ying Yi couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Yan's words are reasonable. The canal is extremely important. The old general Qin Liangyu in Sichuan is also admired by me. He could not say that at this time, he had received the imperial edict from Emperor Chongzhen and led Bai Gan soldiers out of Sichuan. Some came from Huguang or from Guanzhong, so he must be guarded."

"The lord is wise." Yan Ermei felt very happy.

At that time, no matter how good the idea was, he would not be able to be used. Now under Ying Yi, he is like a fish in water. How can he be so happy? He said that Ying Yi's martial artist has great respect for the people around him and has never neglected it. If he has good suggestions, he often adopts them, how can he not be happy?

Ying Yi's momentum was the first to begin, but both himself and his civil and military officials had the confidence to destroy Ming. In Henan, he advanced northward to destroy Ming and wanted to block the Tartars from outside the pass. It was not crazy. However, he was full of confidence, so why fear it?

However, we should despise the enemy strategically, but we should pay attention to it tactically. If a large war starts in Henan, we must be wary of it.
