Chapter 222 Tiger Wolf "Boom", a cannonball suddenly exploded in Zhang Mingjian's head.
The explosion made him dizzy and his body trembled.
What is the official market in the Yuan Dynasty?
The official market in the Yuan Dynasty is to clearly mark the price, and you have to spend money as long as you want to be promoted.
And Yangzhou is the richest place in the world.
During the Taiping years, if you wanted to be the general manager of Yangzhou Road, you would definitely not be able to get it without 400,000 to 500,000 yuan.
Now, even though Butcher Zhu is about to attack the city, I am afraid it will cost more than 200,000 yuan, and it is impossible to get any lower than this price.
"The general is ashamed of the prince.
I really don't understand what the prince means."
Based on his intuition, Zhang Mingjian determined that Timur had no good intentions.
However, the huge attraction of becoming a third-grade official made him unable to refuse this fragrant bait.
Becoming the general manager of Yangzhou Road at this time must mean that he wants to fight Zhu Bayi desperately.
But if you swallow the bait but spit out the hook again, the imperial court can immediately take back the official position that has been granted.
"Zhu Ba11 is approaching fiercely.
I and your Prince Zhennan have decided to stay away from him for the time being."
Sure enough, the benefits of not spending money on Timur are not so easy to get.
Soon, the exchange conditions were announced, "While the two of us are away, all the troops and horses and all the cities on Yangzhou Road will be left to you to defend.
In addition, in other respects, we will follow the old rules."
It turns out that I really want Zhang to stay in Yangzhou City and die for you, and you also want Zhang to give you a large sum of money for your life.
Zhang Mingjian's brows frowned quickly, and his hot heart quickly became cold.
He would never do such a stupid thing.
Even if Timur made a higher promise, he was not stupid enough to risk his own life.
"I'm not asking you to defend Yangzhou."
Timur Buhua had no intention of deceiving the other party so easily.
Seeing Zhang's expression, he immediately added with a smile, "General Zhang is both civil and military, loyal and brave, how could I let him go?"
What I mean by letting you die easily is that you stay in Yangzhou and try your best to delay the enemy for as long as possible for me and King Zhen'an.
King Nan needs more time to prepare.
If things go wrong, you can abandon the city and flee immediately, and bring your brothers to Luzhou to join us.
As long as you do your best, I guarantee that no one will dare to cause trouble for you in the future, even if you are being arrested.
In desperation, I pretended to take refuge with Butcher Zhu.
As long as I come back anyway when I find an opportunity in the future, I promise that the position of Yangzhou Road Manager will still belong to you, Zhang Mingjian."
"Boom", Zhang Mingjian felt as if his face had been hit by another cannon, and his head turned into a mess.
Assuming the position of general manager of Yangzhou, he does not have to bear the responsibility of guarding the land.
Once you see that the situation is not good, you can still run away.
You can even dedicate the city of Yangzhou to Butcher Zhu.
And all he had to pay was to rely on the tall city walls of Yangzhou City to hold Butcher Zhu back for a few days, so that he could not follow Timur and his uncle and nephew to chase the world.
What if there was such a simple task?
announce If the king is really sincere, what can he do if he pats his chest now?
The worst he can do is hand over the city to Zhu Butcher in the end, learn from Zhang Shicheng's example, and become a prince under Zhu Butcher's wings.
With the money in Yangzhou City, how can we not find enough people to feed and serve as soldiers?
"Why, General Zhang is unwilling?"
After getting no response from Zhang Mingjian for a long time, Timur Buhua suddenly became a little impatient, frowned and said loudly, "Then forget it.
Forced melons are not sweet.
Since General Zhang is unwilling to seize the opportunity, so I will give this opportunity to others.
It just so happens that both my subordinates, Liao Daheng and Zhu Liangzu, suffered heavy losses today, so I will use my position as chief and deputy general manager to compensate them.

That’s fine” "I am willing, the general is willing."
Zhang Mingjian was not willing to let the benefits that he almost got go to others.
He immediately opened his mouth and responded loudly, "The general is willing to serve the two princes to the death."
"There is no need to die."
Timur raised the corner of his mouth in a way that was difficult for outsiders to see, and encouraged him in a friendly manner, "Although the current national affairs are difficult, it is not the time for you to die.
Remember, try your best to postpone it as long as possible.
Just live in Zhu Tuhu for a few days.
In addition, you can use the money and food from other cities, but I have to move to Luzhou to recruit the people."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the general will definitely do everything beautifully."
At this moment, Zhang Mingjian could not think about the trap in Timur's words and nodded like garlic, lest he would be slow to agree. , the position of Yangzhou General Manager fell into the hands of others.
"Well then, I will leave the route to you.
After you return to Yangzhou City, you can temporarily take up the post of Yangzhou Road Manager.
Remember, you must keep yourself useful so that you can serve the imperial court in the future.
Remember, remember."
Timur Buhua was very satisfied with Zhang Mingjian's performance.
He patted him twice on the shoulder and warned him with a smile.
Zhang Mingjian was immediately patted and his heart felt hot and his eyes were hot.
He really wished he could make a few cuts on his chest to show his loyalty.
It wasn't until the backs of Timur Buhua and Tuohuan Buhua's uncle and nephew were far away that they finally calmed down.
He took out the sword from his waist, chopped it hard on the short tree beside him several times, and roared in a low voice: "The straight lady finally remembered that I'm here, what have I been doing?
I really feel like I've been kicked in the head by a donkey."
Who is more stupid?
Let’s see.”
"That's right, Fourth Brother, the old thief clearly wants to use a false name today to trick us into continuing to die in vain."
Qianhu Yu Darui just watched the entire conversation with cold eyes, stepped forward, and agreed with gritted teeth.
He did the stupid thing of fighting against the Huai'an army once today, and he would never want to do it again in his life.
It was not a battle between the two armies at all, but a line up on one's own side, and they walked over one after another, letting the Huai'an army massacre with cannons.
And in Zhu Bayi's hands, it was said that there was a more powerful magic weapon, which he didn't have time to use.
Above the Qing Army.
If you don’t believe me, just look at Liao Daheng and Zhu Liangzu.
Their respective teams originally numbered tens of thousands of people, but in the end they were withdrawn, and they couldn’t even make up two thousand-man teams.
"If we sell us to Butcher Zhu, we will have to give him hundreds of thousands more coins.
This old thief is so out of his mind."
Qiu Zhengyi, another Qing Army general, also stepped forward and shouted indignantly.
He heard everything Timur said just now.
No matter how I think about it, I feel that this matter is full of traps.
Rather than risk stepping in, it is better to turn around and walk away now to avoid being caught up in the future.
"Yes, Boss Zhang, we can't be fooled by this."
"Let's not be fooled by this.
Just vote for Butcher Zhu.
Who wants to be this idiot manager?
Let him be his own boss."
"Yes, Brother Zhang, let's just rebel now and go directly to Zhu Butcher.
Liang Na Tiemu'er doesn't have the guts to send troops to chase after him."
For a time, there was a flood of discussion everywhere, everyone decided that Timur Buhua and Tuohuan Buhua had bad intentions, and everyone should not continue to hang out with their uncle and nephew.

Zhang Mingjian's gaze suddenly became extremely profound.
He put his hands flat to both sides of his body, pressed down hard, and said in a deep voice: "Don't make any noise, let's get Yangzhou City in your hands first.
Although I am a bit stupid, I am not that easy to deceive."
"But, where did you get the hundreds of thousands of dollars?
Why don't you give it to Timur to buy an official position?"
Yu Darui, a Qianhu household, guessed that Zhang Mingjian was reluctant to give up the position of Yangzhou Road manager, so he stammered a reminder.
"With the city of Yangzhou in hand, I'm afraid I won't be able to find hundreds of thousands of coins and raise millions of coins.
I'm afraid it will be easy."
Zhang Mingjian gritted his teeth and sneered.
"I'm going to sell the iron and get him hundreds of thousands of dollars first.
As long as he is willing to leave as promised, I won't be afraid that I won't be able to recoup my capital.
Not only do we have to recoup our capital, but if we brothers want to go it alone in the future, we will have to fall on this."
When everyone heard this, they were so impressed that they fell into admiration.
After all, it was Brother Zhang who thought clearly.
What kind of place is Yangzhou City?
It is the richest place in the world.
Any wealthy businessman in the city would probably have a fortune of no less than a million dollars.
After Timur Buhua left, in the name of raising military funds, everyone sent people to stop at the door of those people's houses.
Who dared to chop him with a knife without paying him to see how many chops his head could withstand.
"But, but, fourth brother."
Yu Darui still felt that it was not appropriate.
He put his mouth to Zhang Mingjian's ear and continued to remind in a low voice, "But Zhu Bayi is following us.
If he hears that we are in the city He was plundering everywhere, with his evil-hating character."
"Bullshit."
Zhang Mingjian glanced at Yu Darui and curled his lips disdainfully, "He hates evil as much as he hates bullshit.
If he really wants to hate evil like hatred, why did those big salt merchants in Huai'an City die?
Didn't Zhang Mingjian's hands have no blood at all when he took Gaoyou on September 4th?
How about getting to the end?
Didn't he just take Gaoyou City and pretend that nothing happened?
What's more, Yangzhou City is still the territory of the Yuan Dynasty.
It's none of his business to make some money in the Yuan Dynasty's territory.
Even if there are traps at both ends, he still manages it all the way to the sky."
"This, this" Yu Darui was speechless after being refuted, and had to retreat with a blushing face.
However, Zhang Mingjian grabbed him and ordered in a very low voice, "But you are right to remind me, be careful of causing Wannian Ship to do this.
I remember that there is still a prisoner under Liu Futong's command in the prison in Yangzhou City.
What kind of light envoy?
When you return to the city, you immediately take someone to get him quietly for me.
Come out.
Put on clean clothes, treat him with good food and drinks, and find him two skinny horses to ride on.
If the situation goes wrong, we can just push the right envoy to the front and let him compete with Zhu Tuhu. .
I don’t believe that no matter how fast Zhu Ba1yi’s knife is, he dares to cut Liu Futong on Marshal Liu’s shoulder.”
