Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty

“Pump!” On both knees, Tong Qiao knelt down in front of Kuang Ye.

At the moment Tong Qiao fell to her knees, Guan Ying also walked to Kuang Ye’s body, and talked about what had happened in a low voice.

Kuang Ye’s expression remained unchanged when he was seated there, but when he heard the back, his anger had already risen. After hearing what happened, he slammed the stone table and said: ” What a jerk, where did they put Great Ming’s military law?”

Needless to say, this is naturally accusing Qi Bushen of not. After saying this, when he looked up towards Yang Chendong, his complexion had returned to normal, “Duke of Zhongdan, I’m sorry, let you laugh.”

“hehe.” Yang Chendong Just a smile came out from the corner of his mouth, and he didn’t say anything. Perhaps at this moment, it was a bit inappropriate to say anything.

“In this way, you go out and wait first, and I will have another conversation with Duke of Zhongdan.” Kuang Ye waved his hand and waved back Guan Ying and Tong Qiao.

Tong Qiao bowed his head and exited the yard. When he couldn’t see Kuang Ye, he tentatively asked, “Master Guan, the Duke of Zhongdan mentioned by High Official Kuang just now is to the north. The one with you?”

“Well, do you know how big a basket you almost smashed this time?” Guan Ying’s forehead was nodded. When speaking, the accusation became more and more serious. Obviously. Speaking of which he was very unconvinced with Duke of Zhongdan, especially when he saw Daoist, and found that it was such a young man, and not what Three Heads Six Arms, he even more contemptuously. It’s just that Kuang Ye is his Teacher and his superior. Even the Teacher respects each other so much, he can’t do anything against that’s all.

After getting Guan Ying’s accurate answer, the cold sweat stayed along the neck. Tong Qiao has long heard of the name Duke of Zhongdan. This person not only saved the life of the current Emperor, Emperor Yingzong, but also defeated the very elite army of Wara. Thinking that he almost used such a person as his opponent, a chill rose from the stalk of his hind foot, which really frightened him.

Under the pavilion. After there were no others, Kuang Ye couldn’t help but sighed again, “Duke of Zhongdan, I’m not afraid of your jokes. You have also seen it. This is our Great Ming army. Why did you suffer from Hangzhou Qi Zhifu? Bewitched, he simply wanted to enter the city to fight the autumn wind.”

Kuang Ye’s ability to see things through at a glance is enough to prove that this is not the first time this happened, and it also proves that he is sober. It’s just that Yang Chendong still didn’t answer the call, because he knew that the other party came here, not just as simple as meeting each other, there should be deeper meanings. As for what it was, he also guessed a rough idea. He was waiting for the other party to say it, or it could be said that he was up for sale.

Yang Chendong didn’t speak, Kuang Ye didn’t care, but continued to say, “Duke of Zhongdan, frankly, the situation in the south is not good now, especially Zhu Huizhen’s rebellion caused the Miao people After the chaos, now there is the chaos in Guangdong, which has spread to several cities and dozens of counties, which is quite powerful.”

“Oh? When is this happening?” Yang Chendong has been paying attention to the situation in Guangdong. In history, the aftermath of the Guangdong Chaos will happen here (last year’s Guangdong Chaos has been put down, only Huang Yuliang ran away, this time it is his continuation of his father. The Guangdong Rebellion after Huang Xiaoyang). According to the record, Huang Yuliang was the first to develop the army, but because of his arrival, Zhu Huizhen rebelled first, which is a little different from the history.

“The 800 Miles expedited I just received this morning.” Kuang Ye said, taking out a memo from his arms, and then handing it to Yang Chendong.

For Kuang Ye’s kindness, Yang Chendong not at all hold out hands to receive, but waved his hands and said, “Lord Kuang, you don’t need to see these This Duke. You know, I am a minister of Northern Ming. Now my Family Property and Jiye, and my wife, are also there. Don’t hurt me.”

“Hey, what do you say? Saved His Imperial Majesty’s life, the earliest Count of Zhongdan was also given by Emperor Yingzong. How can you say that you are a courtier of Northern Ming?” Kuang Ye looked like he wanted to be serious.

“Okay, okay, Lord Kuang, there is no need to say so clearly about this point. I am just returning to my hometown to worship the ancestors this time. I really don’t want to provoke me for other things. My lord said just now that the Great Ming’s army is uneven. I am not Divine Immortal again. What can I do to help Emperor Yingzong share his worries?” Yang Chendong waved his hand, with an attitude that he didn’t want to take the conversation.

“You are not Divine Immortal, but you have a good relationship with mercenaries. They have seen their old man style a long time ago. They are indeed the elite of the elite. I think if they take action, I would like to ask questions. It can be solved easily.” Kuang Ye took this opportunity to finally get to the topic, that is, he wants to use mercenaries to fight, to counter the rebellion, and to solve the southern bandit.

“Aiya, this is embarrassing me. The mercenaries have limited manpower. Besides, the money needed to hire them is a big number. Can the Imperial Court get it out today?” Yang Chendong still refuses But this is actually just the two sides testing that’s all.

Southern Ming was Zhu Qizhen who had no choice but to choose the country under construction only after he had no choice but to retreat. Because everything was forced to do, the natural resources available were limited. The gold and silver taken from State Treasury is even rarer.

Although for more than a year, relying on the wealthy south, the situation of the Imperial Court is much better than when it was first built, but it is far from being able to supply the ability to fight two major battles. Yang Chendong said that the cost of mercenaries is too great, based on this point.

“This…His Imperial Majesty really can’t take out much gold and silver now.” Kuang Ye lowered his head when he said this, but soon he re-headed He lifted it up and said with a look of excitement, “But isn’t there a Duke of Zhongdan? As long as you are willing to come out as a guarantee, that person owes you a life, how can this little face be given. After these two rebellions, within five years, the Imperial Court will be able to collect a lot of taxes. At that time, there is no problem paying the mercenaries enough silver. How?”

“Not so? “Yang Chendong simply refused. This is clearly Kuang Ye wanting to pay a small price for big rewards in return. What is the five-year period, and who knows what will become after five years? If Kuang Ye were all passed away at that time, who would he look for? He would never do this kind of thankless work.

“Duke of Zhongdan is a good person. Could it be that the people in the south are suffering from the war and their families are destroyed? Or else, mercenaries will send troops, but all the things they like along the way are You can take it away, how about spending money as military expenses?” While speaking, Kuang Ye finally revealed part of his trump card.

Speaking of which After the Ming Dynasty experienced the rule of Renxuan, the people were still very wealthy, especially among the Aristocratic Family and those rich in business, there are many priceless antiques, calligraphy and paintings. It was a Kuibao-like existence, once destroyed by war, it was really destroyed. What remains undamaged is invaluable for later generations. And now the little Ryukyu Islands lacks people the most, and Great Ming has the most people. It would be a big benefit to take the opportunity to “grab” some people back.

Speaking of those calligraphy and paintings, Yang Chendong has thought about it more than once in the heart to open a huge museum and put all those good things in it for future generations to admire, observe, and go Feel the profound heritage of this country with thousands of years of civilization.

Kuang Ye’s words can be regarded as scratching his itch. But even with this, Yang Chendong still did not agree. “Lord Kuang, it’s not like that. I just have a life-saving grace that’s all for him. He is also willing to go out and save my life and safety. That’s all, if you ask for it, it’s a bit of an inch! “

……

Besides the Chang Family Courtyard, the luxurious Carriage drove out of Fuzhong and headed straight towards Hangzhou Fuya in the city.

Kuang Ye sits in the Carriage, his face is somewhat disappointed. He has tried his best to lobby Yang Chendong, which is what Emperor Yingzong meant. But who would have thought that the other party still did not agree. Thinking of the dialogue between the two of them to the end, he retreated and asked if he could arrange for some young Ming army generals to go to the mercenary camp for training, Yang Chendong directly said The base was rejected because it was a secret place.

Kuang Ye is a headache for this kind of completely insecure behavior. He thinks he has released all his hole cards, but the opponent just doesn’t pick up. What can he do?

Fortunately, official business belongs to official business, private relationship belongs to private relationship. Yang Chendong has a good impression of him. For his face, he not only returned Niu Zhi and the others who had made trouble in the Chang Family Courtyard, he even sent him out with the Carriage he was sitting in. It is expressing a great respect.

“Hey, this Duke of Zhongdan seems to be young, but he does things like old fox. If he refuses you, it makes people unable to get angry, but it is also a kind of ability. “In the luxurious Carriage, those veteran hands with wrinkled skin stroked the luxurious decorations in the Carriage, Kuang Ye couldn’t help but sigh.

“sou!”

A loud arrow suddenly roared in the air. Next, there was a burst of chaos outside, and then Guan Ying and Tong Qiao’s voices thought, “Protect your lord, capture the assassin!”

The chaos outside did not last for a long time. It was very long, and it came to an end after a battle of weapons. Then Guan Ying’s voice came from outside Carriage, “My lord, most of the assassins have been killed, only one person ran away, and two survivors. They… they said they came to assassinate Duke of Zhongdan.”

“Assassinated Duke of Zhongdan? Why did you find the body of the official…” The words were only halfway through, and suddenly Kuang Ye realized that he was in the luxurious Carriage that Yang Chendong usually rides, and now it was said. with a bitter smile: “Hey, I really don’t know if he did it well or knowingly.”
