At breakfast, Ma Duo Duo said to Liang Zhi Jie beside him: "Master, I think it's time for the 50,000 troops in Bian Guan to surrender to our Nan Cheng County. Tomorrow, you and Master Ming Ze will take the ten great masters to find General Liu Gang, tell him about the current situation, and also bring the imperial edict of Emperor Jing to show him."
Liang Zhijie hugged Ma Duoduo into his arms and stroked her back, saying: "General Liu Gang is a stubborn mule, it's probably not an easy task to get him to surrender to us against the imperial court."
"Persuading him isn't a very difficult task, it just needs time, but we don't have that much time to waste now. Let's use a blank spirit symbol on his forehead instead, and give those 50,000 soldiers loyalty symbols."
At night, when the wind was high and the sky was dark, Liang Zhijie sneaked into the border military camp, used anesthetic to make Liu Gang unconscious, took out a blank talisman and stuck it on his forehead, and recited a few spells. The talisman then dissolved into his forehead and disappeared.
Liang Zhijie ran to the kitchen and put 50,000 Loyalty Spirit Symbols into the water tank. After the symbols had completely dissolved in the water, he hastily left for Nan Shan Temple to find Master Ming Ze.
It was only when Master Mingze and Liang Zhijie went to the military camp to visit Liu Gang in the morning that they learned that the imperial court had not issued a salary to them on time for two months.
The army is currently short of food and forage, the morale of the soldiers is low, if there are external enemies coming, this 50,000-strong army will simply collapse.
Because of the effect of last night's Lingfu, General Liu Gang heard Master Mingze's few words of heroic speech to save the people and save the lives, and immediately expressed his willingness to surrender to Liang Zhijie and guard Nancheng County.
Later, Liang Zhijie sent them 5,000 war horses produced by the Space Military Base and a large amount of fodder. There were also 100,000 taels of gold to subsidize the military expenses of the 50,000-strong army for two months.
Let General Liu Gang, who has always been proud of himself, be moved to kneel down and kowtow.
With the war horses, with the grain and fodder, with the military drums, the morale of the generals and soldiers in the army was high, each and every one was spirited and refreshed, sweeping away the depressed atmosphere of the past two months.
Some soldiers even wrote letters back home, asking their families to move to Nancheng County as soon as possible. Of course, later on, the families and relatives of these officers were all ordered by Emperor Jing to be relocated to Nancheng County, never to set foot in the capital again, but that's a story for another time.
Winters in the south are not very cold. Even though it's now December, there is still a scorching sun during the day and at night you can just wear one layer of cotton-padded clothing.
Mai Duo Duo's sweet career finally debuted in this cold winter!
Wang Dongchang's luxurious mansion has been transferred to Liang Zhijie's name and is now a large sugar production workshop. Inside, there are thirty hand-cranked sugarcane juicer machines and five large cauldrons for boiling sugar.
The sugarcane departments of Wangjiacun and Liangjiacun were transported here by ox cart to squeeze sugar, while Mai Duoduo also issued a notice to the county people, purchasing large quantities of wild sugarcane at five kilograms for one cent.
Next spring, Liang Zhi-jie plans to promote large-scale planting of sugarcane in the dry land areas of various villages in Nancheng County.
