Huang Yi told Huang Rong to go home and rest early, as she hadn't been able to get a proper rest lately.
He then glanced at the crowd.
Their plan should begin.
The meeting continued while everyone remained seated.
Mu Nianci spoke first
"Ayi, everyone."
"Currently, Sihai Money Exchange has raised over 60 million taels of silver, which has already been allocated to various locations."
Huang Yi nodded
The money does not need to be allocated all at once.
After all, there are money shops in various places, so in an emergency, funds can be transferred from nearby locations.
Next was Lu Guanying
"Master, Mistress, and all the elders."
"The grain and fodder have been mobilized, and there is still a considerable amount stored along the Yangtze River, ready to be allocated to various regions at any time."
Next, Li Mochou gave her report.
"The intelligence is accurate; arrangements have been made for many cities."
Feng Mofeng reported
"After the uprising, our people will seal off the palace for about five days. Anyone who comes out will be monitored by us."
"There are people both inside and outside the city; for five days, we will be cut off from all communication."
"In addition, we have also bribed quite a few officials in various regions."
"Some generals were even replaced by our own people."
Huang Yi looked and saw that all the preparations were complete.
"it is good"
"Great things can be accomplished."
Chapter 87 The Martial Arts Competition Determines the Winner
Two days later
The Mongol army began its siege.
The offensive was extremely fierce.
Meanwhile, in other places, two other Mongol armies were also fighting.
The Song Dynasty still possesses considerable strength and is not so easily defeated for the time being.
Meanwhile, inside Xiangyang City, Huang Yi remained calm.
Sitting in the courtyard, keeping Mu Nianci and Li Mochou company.
The two were reviewing intelligence in the courtyard.
Mu Nianci also established her own intelligence system.
However, her intelligence system only targets economic information.
At the same time, it was also for the purpose of information transmission between money shops.
Both of them were busy, so Huang Yi could only serve them tea and feed them fruit.
"Xiao Yi, we've spent tens of millions of taels of silver in the past month or so."
"Half of the money I earned before has been thrown away."
Mu Nianci looked at the message that came in and carefully calculated the accounts again. She herself felt scared.
So much money, all spent in such a short time.
Huang Yi handed her a cup of tea
"Sister Mu, don't worry, have some tea."
A lot of money was spent.
The main tasks include recruiting manpower, procuring supplies, forging weapons, and training troops.
From now on, you'll spend much less money each month.
The main reason is that Huang Yi gave a relatively large settlement allowance.
Otherwise, in chaotic times, just having enough to eat is enough.
Huang Yixin's method of training soldiers was to ensure they were well-fed and had something to strive for.
His army wasn't large, but it numbered over a hundred thousand.
Once an uprising is launched, a sufficiently strong army is needed.
Mu Nianci put down the bill and then drank her tea.
Li Mochou, standing to the side, then said, "Sister Mu..."
"Xiao Xie is right, don't worry."
"Once we start the uprising, how many corrupt officials and powerful families will be waiting for us?"
"I've gathered a lot of intelligence; their money is our money."
Huang Yi nodded and said, "I'll give them a lot of money and enforce strict military discipline."
"This is also to prevent them from indiscriminately looting, burning, killing, and plundering after entering the city."
"In that case, it would still be the ordinary people who suffer, and our uprising would be meaningless."
"If I want to build a disciplined army, I need to pay it enough."
"If they misbehave, kill them without mercy. This way, an army will not fall into disarray and fail."
Mu Nianci nodded. She understood the plan, but she was also afraid of such a huge expense.
Outside the city, the Mongol army was launching a fierce offensive.
Huang Yi, however, has not taken any action.
Drinking tea in the courtyard
In fact, he had been paying close attention to the situation.
The Mongol army launched a continuous attack for half a month.
For the past two weeks, everyone's attention has been drawn to the battle.
Huang Yi's forces have been intensifying their planning.
Of course, even his disciples didn't know what he was really planning.
It's just training, training.
The discipline is very strict, but the benefits are good.
Ordinary soldiers knew even less.
They cannot act arbitrarily.
The ten major gangs were training their troops, and the ordinary soldiers all thought it was just the gangs expanding and seizing territory.
They would never know that someone was plotting a rebellion behind the scenes.
Not many people knew that a rebellion was about to take place.
The Mongol army launched continuous attacks, leaving the imperial court exhausted and unable to cope.
Government officials, however, reaped many benefits from it.
When the imperial court allocates funds, it is subject to layers of deductions, leaving only about 30% for the war effort.
Huang Yi has a presence in various regions.
Half a month is enough time for him to do a lot of things.
At this time, the situation in Xiangyang City was unstable.
The Mongol army launched a fierce offensive.
Guo Jing, Huang Rong, and the others could only defend with all their might, and suffered considerable losses.
It took almost two months of preparation.
Huang Yi also felt the time was about right.
It's time for the Mongol army to withdraw.
Huang Yi led the group to the top of the city wall.
