In the study of King Qiong's residence.
At this time, Zhu Yunhao did not know that a pair of beautiful sisters were coming from Jinling to look for him.
He was waiting for news from Guangxi.
To be honest, attacking Guang Xi this time was actually a little risky.
However, the development of Qiongzhou had been restricted.
Although he had already cooperated with Lin Yang and brought Leizhou into his sphere of influence, the construction of Leizhou could not be achieved overnight.
Zhu Yunhao knew very well that it would take at least half a year to build Leizhou.
Although Leizhou had the resources that he urgently needed, these resources could not be obtained immediately. Whether it was iron ore or copper ore, he had to organize enough manpower and material resources to develop and excavate them.
However, the population of Leizhou had already been allocated to the limit by him.
There was no more manpower and resources to do extra development and excavation.
If he forcefully allocated it, the virtuous cycle that Jingzhou had painstakingly established would worsen or even be destroyed.
This was something that Zhu Yunhao did not want to see.
Guangxi's move was actually a dangerous move, but Zhu Yunhao had no other way.
He only hoped that Xiao Ling would live up to his expectations and intercept a batch of resources in Guangxi.
This way, he could solve his current urgent problem.
Just as Zhu Yunhao was worried.
Xiao Ding happily took a letter and walked into the study,
"Your Highness, Ling 'er has sent a letter."
Zhu Yunqi stood up abruptly.
"Oh? Come, let me see."
Xiao Ding handed the letter to Zhu Yunhao.
Zhu Yunyan opened the letter and read it.
Then, he said happily,
"Good, very good, very good. Ling 'er succeeded. She's already loading the ship in Hepu. She told us to be prepared and even said that she would give us a huge surprise.”
Xiao Ding said with a gratified smile,
"Ling 'er, this girl, she really didn't let down His Highness's nurturing.”
Zhu Yunhao smiled and nodded."
"Your little sister really has the demeanor of a great general. I have good taste. Back then, when I made her the commander of the army, you were not willing. Now you see, I still have a good eye for people.”
Zhu Yunhao was a little proud.
Xiao Ding looked at Zhu Yunhao speechlessly.
I called my sister over to warm your bed, but you nurtured her to become the Head Chief. What do you want me to say? What can I say?
"Let's go to the port and welcome the return of our hero!”
The excited Zhu Yunhao couldn't wait to go to the port to see the harvest this time.
Soon, Zhu Yunhao and Xiao Ding arrived at the port of the sea.
At this moment, over thirty treasure ships could be seen faintly on the surface of the sea.
Looking at the many treasure ships that were gradually becoming clearer, Zhu Yunhao and Xiao Ding controlled their emotions and waited.
When more than 30 treasure ships approached, Zhu Yunhao's eyes turned cold.
He could now clearly see that the 30-odd ships were sinking.
It was obvious that there were many things on the ship.
"Ling 'er, this girl, her gains this time are really not small!”
Xiao Ding also discovered the abnormality of the treasured ship and said with anticipation,
"It shouldn't be small. I just don't know what it will be.”
Not long after, more than thirty treasure ships docked one by one.
Below the deck, just as Zhu Yunhao and Xiao Ding were looking forward to it.
From the treasure ship came countless cries.
Zhu Yunhao and Xiao Ding's faces immediately stiffened.
What was going on?
Why was there someone crying?
The next scene immediately made Zhu Yunhao and Xiao Ding dumbfounded.
On the treasured ship, countless commoners who were in a sorry state were crying and dragging their families down from the treasured ship.
There were all kinds of people, men and women, old and young.
Everyone was reluctantly chased off the ship by the soldiers.
This scene stunned Zhu Yunhao.
"W-what's going on? Didn't I ask Ling 'er to snatch the supplies for me? Why did she bring so many commoners back for me?”
Xiao Ding was also somewhat stunned. He said with some uncertainty,
"Did this girl kidnap the Wuzhou people as well?”
Zhu Yunhao was stunned and exchanged glances with Xiao Ding.
The two of them said at the same time,
"No way!"
At this moment, Li Qing walked down from the treasure ship.
He saw Xiao Ding and Zhu Yunxin from afar.
He quickly trotted to Zhu Yunhao and said respectfully,"
"Personal guard captain Li Qing greets wangye.”
When Zhu Yunhao saw Li Qing, he immediately asked,"
"Li Qing, what are you doing? How did he get so many commoners back?”
Seeing this, Li Qing smiled bitterly and said,"
"Your Highness, the Chief asked us to kidnap these people. He said that Qiongzhou is lacking people now. Instead of giving these people to King Jingjiang, it would be better for us to kidnap them back and use them to develop Qiongzhou.”
Zhu Yunyan sighed.
"As expected, this girl can't help but praise. I just praised her a few times, and then she caused trouble for me.”
"Tell me, how many commoners did you force this time? 50,000? Or a hundred thousand?"
In Zhu Yunhao's opinion, Xiao Ling was good at everything except for causing trouble for him.
However, he had no choice but to clean up her mess.
Li Qing scratched his head, not daring to speak.
Seeing this, Zhu Yunhao asked doubtfully,"
"Could it be more than a hundred thousand? You got me 200,000 yuan? Tell me quickly? What are you talking about?"
Seeing that Zhu Yunhao was getting impatient, Li Qing didn't dare to hide it anymore. He could only tell the truth,"
"Your Highness, there are a total of one million people, more than 930,000 Guang Xi citizens, and 70,000 prisoners of King Jingjiang's rebel army.”
Zhu Yunhao nodded subconsciously, but he suddenly felt that something was wrong. His voice instantly rose.
" One…million!!!"
Zhu Yunhao's eyes widened as he suddenly looked at Li Qing, his eyes full of shock.
"Hiss!"
Xiao Ding by the side could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
"A million? Are you sure?"
Xiao Ding asked in disbelief.
Li Qing nodded seriously."
"This subordinate has confirmed that they have all been registered.”
Zhu Yunhao was dumbfounded.
He asked Xiao Ling to go to Guangxi to take advantage of the situation and plunder resources.
However, Xiao Ling directly snatched a million people back for him.
F * ck!
How many people were there in Jingzhou?
There were only slightly over 800,000.
Xiao Ling directly robbed more than one million, which was more than the population of the entire Qiongzhou.
How could Zhu Yunhao not be stunned?
Immediately, Zhu Yunhao seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked,"
"70,000 more captives? Where did so many captives come from? Are there so many defenders in Wuzhou?"
Li Qing smiled and said,"
"These 70,000 captives are all King Jingjiang's men. We defeated 100,000 of them and captured 70,000 of them.”
Zhu Yunhao glared at him.
"What is it? You even fought with King Jingjiang's army? How are our casualties? How many have we lost? What about Xiao Ling? How was she? Why was this girl so annoying? How many times have I emphasized to her not to fight with King Jingjiang's men? Why doesn't she listen?”
Li Qing continued to laugh,"
"Your Highness, don't worry. The Chief is fine. As for the fight with King Jingjiang, it was completely an accident. The Chief and I didn't expect King Jingjiang's army to be so useless that it was defeated by the 1,000 ambush soldiers we used to stop them.”
"A thousand men defeated a hundred thousand men and captured seventy thousand. Tsk tsk, I don't understand how King Jingjiang fought this battle.”
Li Qing's words once again made Zhu Yunhao and Xiao Ding dumbfounded.
"Ah?"
"A thousand people defeated a hundred thousand? Are you sure you're not bluffing?"
Zhu Yunhao's eyes widened. Although he knew that he had made some flintlocks for Xiao Ling's private guards, there were only a few thousand of them.
But to use 1,000 flintlocks to defeat an army of 100,000?
If it was anyone else who said this, Zhu Yunhao wouldn't believe it.
Unless someone told him that a thousand flintlocks had turned into a thousand machine guns, the kind that had plenty of bullets.
Li Qing smiled and said,"
"Your highness, how could I dare to speak nonsense about this kind of thing? When I heard this news, I was even more shocked than your highness. But this is real, how would I dare to lie to you!”
Zhu Yunhao took a deep breath. He knew that Li Qing would never dare to joke about such things.
However, this news was truly shocking.
A thousand people had defeated a hundred thousand people.
It was unbelievable just thinking about it.
However, Zhu Yunhao was in a good mood. After the shock, he quickly calmed down and looked at Xiao Ding.
"Looks like we have to readjust our plan!”
