Daming wolf ride

"To tell you the truth, the general came here to ask for help from your lord. I hope that the town will be able to allocate 30 shi of grain from the inventory to solve our army's urgent need. This is a great favor to Jinzhou. It will be remembered from top to bottom!"

Jiang Wanli was a little surprised by Yang Yufan's youth, but he said straight to the point, but he was playing tricks. When he came, Shi Dayong wanted him to buy grain directly from Laizhou, and he would not hesitate to spend a lot of money, but the words came out of his mouth But he asked for food first.Although he knew that his family already had a lot of property, it could be regarded as a windfall, but Jiang Wanli still felt a little distressed for the extravagant spending.He is also planning for the future, the expansion of the Jinzhou Army is imperative, and there will be more places to use money in the future. Not to mention, the money needed for food, clothing and housing in a year is amazing, not to mention the equipment for the soldiers. Ordnance armor, and the wolf cavalry army that spends money like a bottom hole.

Only by careful planning can we live a good life. From Songshan all the way to the present, the bigger the family property, the more we cherish it. Every penny saved is always a penny.Jiang Wanli didn't think his request was too much. The military rations in Laizhou City should have been transferred from outside the pass, and the Jinzhou Army came from outside the pass, so the rations in the city were originally their own. Now it's time to be polite. The other party has no reason not to allocate food.

"30 shi?" After hearing the figure, Yang Yufan sneered, "It's a big deal, it's going to cost 30 shi. It seems that you know the details of Laizhou City." With a raised eyebrow, the topic changed He said, "I heard that your Jinzhou army recruited and surrendered the rebels all the way, and you really gathered a lot of soldiers and horses. The momentum and the number of soldiers and horses are probably not worse than when the rebels were at their peak, right?"

"What does Mr. Zhentai say?" Jiang Wanli's heart skipped a beat, the question was too harsh. [

"What do you mean? Hehe, I just asked casually, so you don't have to think about it." Although Yang Yufan had a smile on his face, it didn't look like he was smiling. There was a hint of vigilance in his eyes. .

Jiang Wanli is not like Cao Bianjiao's newborn calf, he also has an understanding of the human heart, and now he understands, knowing that the other party has doubts about what his soldiers and horses are doing outside the city, he can't help but secretly smiled wryly, shook his head and said: "Master Zhentai just said something wrong. The rebels are the rebellious officials and thieves of your father, but my Jinzhou army is the officers and soldiers of Daming. It is Daming who is strong and weak for the rebel army, and it is a blessing for Daming that the officers and soldiers are strong. How can it be compared? Could it be that Master Zhentai hopes that my Ming soldiers and horses are not as powerful as the rebellious officials and thieves?"

With the same rhetorical question and the same intention, Yang Yufan laughed, paused, his eyes fell on Jiang Wanli's face, the corner of his mouth slanted and asked again: "I don't know if your general has ever been sealed?"

The so-called hanging seal refers to the commander-in-chief who hangs the seal of a general, and the person who hangs the seal on the town can be called a commander, such as Mao Wenlong and Zu Dashou back then.Shi Dayong is only a general in Jinzhou, and he has never even been a deputy general of the general army, so how can he have a seal to hang.Jiang Wanli replied honestly: "Back to Zhentai, my family's General Shi has never had a seal, and now he is a general of Jinzhou, under the command of the Governor of Liaodong."

"Participant?" Yang Yufan nodded meaningfully, and then asked, "I don't know if Jiang Shoubei knows that there are tens of thousands of generals in Ming Dynasty?"

"Da Ming didn't have tens of thousands of generals, but if my general doesn't take in these rebellious troops, I'm afraid it will cause more harm to the local area." Jiang Wanli's heart sank, knowing that things were a little tricky, "But it's expedient right now. The plan is, when the overall situation is determined, our army will be dismissed, so as not to poison the local area, and maybe we will have to bother Lord Zhentai at that time."

"What General Shi does is his business. I am the commander-in-chief of Tongzhou. This time I came to Laizhou to rescue. I am yyng with you Jinzhou Army. I am also a guest army in Tongzhou, but I can't control what your general does. But this food is not easy to allocate, you need to go through the formalities, otherwise, I have the right to allocate it." Yang Yufan looked like a businessman.

If there is no food and no food to buy, Jiang Wanli is anxious: "Our army has tens of thousands of horses stationed outside the city. If there is food and grass, the consequences will be disastrous."

"The imperial court's new supervisor, Mr. Zhu Dadian, will be here soon. You can just ask your general to apply for transfer." Yang Yufan remained unmoved.

"Master Dutang is still in Ludi, but I don't know how many days it will take to arrive, but the food and grass in our army can only last for two or three days, I really can't wait, and I hope Lord Zhentai can accommodate a little bit." I know my family affairs well. Well, the grain harvested from Dengzhou is not much, and now tens of thousands of mouths have been added. If there is no grain, how can we get it? We can't let these tens of thousands of people eat each other.

"When we came, my general had explained that if it is not convenient here, our army can buy grain at the market price." There is no way, at this point, we can't tolerate Jiang Wanli's distress for money. After all, the Jinzhou army is the most What is needed is food, not silver.There are hundreds of miles of red land in Denglai, and no amount of money can buy food.

"30 stones are purchased at the market price, but it's a lot of money. I can't see that your general is very wealthy." Yang Yufan showed a thoughtful look, but he was still unmoved. The food is not the official’s private food, how can I have the right to sell it. Well, it’s not impossible. Right now, the eunuch Gao Gongzheng is stationed in Xiaoguanzhuang. If your general doesn’t want to wait for Lord Dutang to come, you can Go and apply to Eunuch Gao. Eunuch Gao is the emperor's close servant, and the imperial envoy supervises the army. Knowing your army's plight, he will definitely not allow it."

"My general had a feud with Eunuch Gao before, and I was afraid to ask for the door." Jiang Wanli also told the truth. Right now, it is not a question of asking Gao Qiqian for food, but sending troops to suppress him. I don't know if it will happen. Really fight.

Yang Yufan didn't know about Shi Dayong and Gao Qiqian's past festivals, so he waved his hands after hearing Jiang Wanli's words: "Then I have nothing to do, you go back and tell your general, saying that I can't help you, and ask him to help you." Think of another way."

As he said that, he was about to get up to see off the guests, but Jiang Wanli couldn't calm down anymore, and said in a panic, "My lord, aren't you afraid that our army's food supply will cause disaster to tens of thousands of tigers and wolves?"

Hearing this, Yang Yufan's face darkened, and he snorted coldly: "Laizhou is a fortified city, and Li Kong's attack for several months is still useless. No matter how strong your Jinzhou army is, what can you do? You are not the only one outside the city. I don’t believe that your Jinzhou army dares to send troops to attack Laizhou! If you really want to do it, what is the difference between your Jinzhou army and the rebels? Thanks to you, you just kept saying that you are the soldiers of Daming. Hmph, there are officials who attack their own cities in this world Army!"

Before Yang Yufan could finish his sentence, Jiang Wanli knew he had made a slip of the tongue, and he quickly cupped his fists to plead guilty, saying, "The last general was just talking in a fit of anger, please don't blame me, Mr. Zhentai, I am a soldier of the emperor from all over Jinzhou, a soldier of the imperial court." Ma, how could you do such a rebellious thing."

"Anger words are words too." Yang Yufan was also young, unreasonable, staring straight at Jiang Wanli with angry eyes.

Jiang Wanli was speechless by him, anxious, but suffering from not knowing what to do, so Yang Yufan was a little impatient, and when he was about to signal his subordinates to see him off, he saw Jiang Wanli suddenly looked up at him and asked: "I don't know if Mr. Zhentai can be trusted more than Li Kong and his generation?" [

Hearing this question, Yang Yufan immediately waved his hands in disgust, and said shamelessly: "Sure as cunning as foxes, vicious as tigers and wolves, how can you trust me, I grew up in the army, and I know this kind of people very well."

After hearing this answer, Jiang Wanli settled down, nodded and said, "Now that Li and Kong are asking Eunuch Gao to surrender, the general dares to ask your lord how the imperial court will deal with them, whether they will be beheaded for their crimes or let him beheaded." The two officials will continue to stay here in Denglai?"

Yang Yufan was startled, his cheeks twitched, and he said with a little resentment: "I'm afraid that most of the adults in the court still want to use these people. They have been arguing to appease them a few days ago. Now that the thief has surrendered, they are naturally happy." .”

"The last general also thought that the court would continue to use them." Jiang Wanli sighed, "When the army returns, can you guarantee that Li Jiuzheng and Kong Youde will not rebel again?"

"It's a common thing in the world, how dare I be a guarantor for this matter." Yang Yufan snorted slightly.

"The last general heard that Li Kong and Li Kong had tricked Governor Xie and Zhu Zhifu out of the city to accept the surrender. Only Your Excellency never left the city and closed the city gates. From this, it can be seen that Your Excellency half trusts these people. To be honest, Your Excellency, My general also does not believe that Li Kong and others will sincerely submit to the imperial court, my general thinks that this is just a strategy for two people to save their lives, and they will definitely turn against each other when the army returns, so my general decided to cut the grass and root out the root, so as not to leave any disaster behind."

"Oh? Cut the weeds and root them out?" Yang Yufan was a little confused, "What is your general going to do?"
