Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty

Cao Jixiang has some abilities. Once developed, it will not be much worse than Wang Zhen. But it is precisely because of his ability that he can better assist Zhu Qizhen in the upper ranks. Otherwise, if he finds a straw bag, he is afraid that it will be eaten by Jin Ying soon. Anyone getting stronger is not what Sixth Young Master wants to see. What he needs is balance. Only in this way can he show his importance even more.

The ability of Yang Chendong has more room to play. The two emperors are holding each other, so he can be caught in it, the fisherman catches both.

“The major event is fixed, and the next step is to prepare for the battle. By the way, is there any news from Chihkan City?” Yang Chendong turned and returned to the study, looking towards Hu Mang who followed behind him .

“People are already on their way to the capital. They came in a way of breaking up into pieces, and won’t attract others’ attention.” Hu Mang knew what Yang Chendong was asking, and gave it respectfully. To answer. The Sixth Young Master who grew up with him is now Lord Marquis, and Young Master is less than 20 years old, but you have to imagine how great the future is. With such a master, Hu Mang will certainly not be an unknown person in the future.

“Okay, I see. Young Master is sleepy, and there is nothing important not to call me.” Yang Chendong waved his hand and walked to the bedroom next to the study, where Hu Yan, Qiao Yin They have been waiting for a long time. Although there are a few women, you may not be able to do anything, but it’s always better to be with beautiful women and Court Eunuch who only knows to fight for power and whose body is incomplete.

On the official road five miles away in Yang Family Village, the original lively scene is gone. After Jin Ying and Cao Jixiang left one after another, Tang Tong who was staying here was also taken away.

Tang Tong chose to leave with Jin Ying, which is what Yang Chendong meant. He doesn’t raise idlers here, unless the Yang family is in the army, otherwise no one can be reassured outside Yang Family Village.

As for who Tang Tong would choose to leave with, Yang Chendong did not ask, but instead gave him the initiative. When Jin Ying and Cao Jixiang handed him the olive branch at the same time, he finally chose to follow Jin Ying back to the capital, and his brothers all settled in the capital. Going to other places might be unstable.

Jin Ying brought three thousand Embroidered Uniform Guards when she came, and four thousand men and horses when she went back, it was a small gain. As soon as I entered the capital, I went straight to the imperial city and asked Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu for advice.

In the inner hall of the Imperial Palace, Zhu Qiyu learned about Jin Ying’s experience in Yang Family Village, and browsed tightly knit, “A country divides two emperors, will this make Great Ming advance me? Is it divided?”

Zhu Qiyu is also a descendant of the old Zhu Family. He also takes a heavy view on Zhu Family’s Country. It is not an exaggeration to have such an idea. Jin Ying doesn’t think about that many. He just wants to hold the power. As for whether the country will be divided, that will be the future.

“His Imperial Majesty, the minister also knew that this was not perfect, but now I really can’t think of a better way. Once Emperor Yingzong returned to the capital, he was impossible obediently surrender. After all, he became the emperor. For many years, many people have been loyal to him. If they raise their arms and get more responses, I am afraid that we will not even have the only place to stay at that time. It is better to slow down first, believe in His Imperial Majesty It won’t take long for more people to be convinced of the benevolence. At that time, wouldn’t it be easy for the whole world to fall into your hands?”

Jin Ying placed Zhu Qiyu in the position Very high, with incredible confidence in his eyes. These also spur Zhu Qiyu and make him full of confidence in the future. “Well, it can only be the case now. It’s just that we still have to avoid more ministers from following Emperor Yingzong. I will leave this to you to do it.”

“His Imperial Majesty rest assured, the minister will not let more ministers leave Beijing.” Jin Ying assured her with a pat on her chest. This was an opportunity to prove himself. If he did it well, he would have Emperor Jingtai take a high look. He didn’t dare to be sloppy.

……

Baoding Mansion, Hebei Province, is the important town of 300 li or so from the Great Ming Capital. At this time, Zhu Qizhen is resting here under the protection of Yang Wu and Xiao Feng and the others.

When you come to Baoding Mansion, you can already get some news from the capital. When he heard his brother Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne and became Emperor Jingtai, the anger of Zhu Qizhen was predictable.

He kindly asked Brother to supervise the country. After leaving, he became the emperor and robbed all of his Family Property. It would be unacceptable for anyone to replace it.

Accordingly, he should go back to the capital and ask his brother carefully what he wants to do. But this is not a youngster’s playhouse. It’s not good to make one. I’m afraid that it will be lifeless. Zhu Qizhen suppressed the anger in his heart and stopped at Baoding Mansion, waiting for Yang Chendong to send back news.

In the Tumubao incident, Zhu Qizhen saw the greatness of Yang Chendong, and what he did was a model of precautions. Especially this mercenary, along the way, all threats were almost nipped in the bud. Only when he saw it, he didn’t know how many Vala cavalrymen were killed before they were found.

The strength of its methods, well-trained, and agile actions is incomparable to the elite of any Great Ming army.

I deeply felt the power of his abilities. After Yang Chendong left, Zhu Qizhen communicated with Xiao Feng many times, hoping to make this army for his own use, and once lured each other with a bright future.

The effect is not very good. After contact, this seems to be an army that only recognizes silver but not people. According to Xiao Feng, as long as you give money, we will sell your life to you. As for any promises and the like, it is still forgotten. It is far from the reality of money. Even more because of Zhu Qizhen’s identity, Xiao Feng’s employment costs are three times that of Yang Chendong. That is to say, for every task completed, 100-Man Team needs at least 3,000,000 taels, or cash, which one must be paid in advance.

The army was defeated and all the guys were lost. Where did Zhu Qizhen come from to support such a huge expenditure? I can only think about adjusting silver from State Treasury after entering the capital. But now that Zhu Qiyu has become the emperor, State Treasury’s idea is to stop fighting, which makes Zhu Qizhen a little downcast.

At one time Zhu Qizhen had to think about where he would go in the future. What if Yang Chendong left him alone? I don’t even have the ability to protect myself.

This worry disappeared after three days. Cao Jixiang arrived, and three thousand Embroidered Uniform Guard came with him.

Under the leadership of Yang Er, Cao Jixiang reported to Emperor Yingzong smoothly. As soon as he met, he knelt on the ground and shouted long live. At this moment, Zhu Qizhen felt aloof and remote. It also gave birth to the idea of ​​whether to bring the army to the capital and seize the throne.

As soon as the idea was born, I saw the departure of Xiao Feng and the others, and the pride that had just arisen in my heart disappeared without a trace. After seeing the powerful military force of this mercenary, he felt a little disgusted with the Embroidered Uniform Guard team in his heart.

Cao Jixiang is here, and after meeting Emperor Yingzong and the nine ministers, he talked about the affairs of the capital in detail. At the end, he also said that Yang Chendong was entrusted and his two emperors ruled the country.

“Shuangdi Tongzhi?” After hearing Cao Jixiang’s retelling, High Official Kuang Ye of the Ministry of War and High Official Wang Zuo of the Ministry of War both glanced at each other. Why don’t they know that doing so is equivalent to splitting Great Ming? Just now apart from this, where is there any better way?

Different from Kuang Ye and Wang Zuo, the other seven adults are indeed secretly happy. Nothing else, just because if Zhu Qizhen really went to Nanjing to become the emperor, then it would be obvious that they were promoted to First class or even to Level 2.

Just like Ministry of Justice right Assistant Minister Ding Xuan, he can become Ministry of Justice High Official; Ministry of Works right Assistant Minister Wang Yonghe can also be promoted to Ministry of Works High Official; Ministry of Rites left Assistant Minister Yang Shan will serve as the Ministry of Rites High Official. Capital Supervisising Courtyard’s right deputy capital, Imperial Censor, Deng Li will also be promoted to First class and become the capital of Imperial Censor.

This is a tangible benefit. I originally fought a defeat with them, but after returning home, I was ready to be demoted, or even to lose office. Now that it’s alright, it’s possible to get promoted to First class, so who is unhappy?

Several ministers have benefited, and then they will naturally urge Zhu Qizhen to change his way to Nanjing to become emperor. In this regard, Zhu Qizhen not at all made a decision immediately, and said that he should consider it carefully.

Empress Qian is also here, Mou Mu replaced the previous role of Court Eunuch in Xing’an, and served Empress well along the way, and he has won his trust. In the small courtyard of Baoding Mansion, the husband and wife met, and Empress Qian’s tears couldn’t stop.

“Don’t cry Empress, I’m fine.” Holding Empress Qian’s arm, Zhu Qizhen’s face showed a rare gentleness.

“Okay, His Imperial Majesty is fine, nothing is fine. Your Concubine is not as good as His Imperial Majesty, so you can go to Nanjing to become the emperor. No matter what, you can keep it safe for a while.” Qian took the initiative to talk about moving to the south, which is completely different from when she rarely participates in politics.

Zhu Qizhen was very curious about Empress Qian’s dissuasion, “Why did His Imperial Majesty say this, but other people taught you?”

“Where is it.” Empress Qian shook the head, “Your Concubine stayed in the palace for a long time, and saw that Prince of Cheng managed the entire imperial city in good order, with the assistance of Jin Ying Court Eunuch and the others. Now he is in power. If His Imperial Majesty wants to If you go to the capital, you must have a big battle. If this is the case, it is really bode ill rather than well.”

I originally thought Empress Qian was instigated to speak such words of persuasion. Now when I heard it, Zhu Qizhen realized that the love of the capital has really changed. Even Empress, who rarely asks about political affairs, can feel it. While scolding Zhu Qiyu and Jin Ying and the others to have no shame in my heart, I also began to think about moving south.

That night, I didn’t mention the game of the dragon and the phoenix. By the early morning of the 2nd day, Zhu Qizhen appeared in front of Cao Jixiang and the ministers, and said that he agreed to move south. But we can’t just make the Prince of Cheng cheaper. I want to go to the capital to ask people for money, and the families of the ministers, especially the Crown Prince Zhu Jianshen, have to be taken from the imperial city.

Zhu Qizhen agrees, and other ministers will naturally not object. After two days of negotiation, the regulations were worked out. Finally, Cao Jixiang brought a thousand Embroidered Uniform Guards to escort Kuang Ye and Wang Zuo, two High Officials, to the capital to negotiate with Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu.
