Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty

After talking about Win Loucheng with a sharp knife, he picked up another piece of information and looked at it. When he saw those things recorded above, Yang Chendong couldn’t help but sneered.

The information was transmitted from the Southern Ming capital Imperial Palace. The messenger is Mou Mu, one of the chiefs of Court Eunuch.

As the most important insider who arranges Emperor Yingzong’s side, unless it is a major event, he will not send any news to the outside. And now that the news came from him, it would definitely be very important.

As recorded in this information, it turned out that Emperor Yingzong listened to the opinions of the following important officials and wanted to borrow money from Yang Chendong.

Isn’t it funny that the emperor of a country wants to borrow money from his courtier? But it happened now, and Yang Chendong is the protagonist of it.

Obviously, I don’t know which courtier thinks he is not pleasing to his eyes and wants to put some eye drops on himself. In addition, Southern Ming had just separated from the family, and the foundation was not very solid. Then there was the southern civil strife. When the rebellion was put down, a lot of silver was spent, and now the taxes in Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan are missing. Life is even more difficult.

At this time, they are still recruiting millions of soldiers again, and the money that needs to be spent is even more numerous. State Treasury Bank of China is in a hurry, and then someone calls out that they can borrow from Yang Chendong. After all, this person is in Northern Ming set up a Yang Family Bank. I heard that the deposit amount has reached more than 40 million. It should be no problem to borrow 20-30 million from them.

Zhu Qizhen, who is short of money, after hearing the advice of the courtiers, felt that this seemed to be a feasible way, so he made a decision and asked Court Eunuch, who was in charge of the decree, to call Yang Chendong to stop. When Vietnam entered the army, he then asked him to lend to Southern Ming to tide over the immediate danger.

That’s what Mou Mu said in the intelligence. After passing the fast horse delivery from the Security Bureau, the news was first placed in front of Yang Chendong.

Looking at this is simply wishful thinking. Hu Mang wanted to throw it away when he saw this information. However, considering the fact that the Young Master would not be aware of the matter, once Southern Ming’s announcement of Court Eunuch arrived, wouldn’t it be unprepared, so in the end this information still appeared in front of Yang Chendong.

Now watching Yang Chendong laughing with this information, Hu Mang on the side suggested, “Young Master, I think it’s clearly Zhu Qizhen’s head being kicked by a donkey. This is Yixiangtian Open, we don’t need to pay any attention.”

The head was kicked by a donkey. This is also from Yang Chendong. He is used to describe those ignorant people who make ignorant decisions. After being heard by mercenary officers, they feel that the description is very appropriate, which is often used by them.

Listening to Hu Mang’s suggestion, Yang Chendong tilted his head and looked towards him: “Do you also think that this is the decision made by Zhu Qizhen’s head rusting?”

Looking at Yang Chendong, he didn’t seem to think so. Hu Mang said with a face of puzzlement, “Young Master, isn’t it? A fool can see it. This is because he wants to grow Southern Ming. From the perspective of our development, becoming an opponent is sooner or later. Then helping them now is not equivalent to erecting a strong enemy for yourself?”

Don’t blame Hu Mang for saying this. When Yang Chendong built the army and built the city in Chihkan City, they still couldn’t understand what Young Master meant. After all, Great Ming is too strong in their eyes, too strong to be shaken at all, and even dare not even think about it.

But after successively destroying the Yellow Bandit Army and entering Vietnam and occupying several cities, their thinking changed. With such a powerful army and such a sky-defying musket, why can’t you put the goal farther?

Didn’t the ancients always say, princes and generals, would you rather have a kind? Even so, what’s wrong for them to imagine being an emperor? Having said that, Great Ming was originally the power that was snatched from the Yuan Dynasty, so it seems reasonable to be snatched by others.

I have to say that Hu Mang’s idea is not only his own, but also many mid- to high-ranking military officers in the mercenaries. It can be said that this has already formed a scale. In this way, if Yang Chendong wants to use Great Ming one day, there will be no resistance.

It’s just that in Yang Chendong’s eyes, this is not the case. At least he knew that the so-called one day was still far away from him. As for the reason, of course it is population. Before solving this problem, Yang Chendong really did not want to turn his face with Great Ming. Otherwise, just solving those problems will not know how much energy and time it will take.

To Great Ming, Yang Chendong naturally cannot be like Vietnam, saying that the country will be destroyed if it is said to be destroyed, and it will kill if it is said of killing. And if you don’t use this extreme method to solve Great Ming’s problems, it will take too much effort and time.

In line with the idea of ​​easy first and difficult later, Yang Chendong decided to put Great Ming’s affairs first. As long as one’s strength is strong enough, I believe that one day he will be defeated without fighting.

That’s the case, then you can’t turn your face, that is to say, the money is really borrowed.

Of course, lending money to Southern Ming is not all bad, for example, he can take the opportunity to put forward some conditions. Great Ming what is the most? Naturally, it is the Chinese clansman. If this can be used for trading, Zhu Qizhen will definitely agree.

If there is really a large population that can be used for themselves in a just and honorable way, it will be very useful for accelerating Chihkan City and even the entire Ryukyu Islands, and even for the development of Surname Yang. A positive effect is not something that can be done with a few silver ounces.

In other words, the last thing Yang Chendong lacks is silver. Not to mention that the goods in Heaven Beyond Heavens Trading Company have always been in short supply, especially after the cooperation with Wala, many things began to be exported to the European land, and became the item that the rich people rushed to buy. With this, money is The continuously sent to Surname Yang. even more how As the Yang Family navy continues to grow stronger, is the amount of maritime transactions now doubling up? In the warehouse in Chihkan City, silver has long been piled up like a mountain, and I don’t even know how to spend it.

In the future, if there is an opportunity, Yang Chendong will also consider his own banknotes. After all, silver is used as a cash currency. This is a bit of a waste. The silver alone will be consumed, although there is Yang Family Bank is assisted, but Yang Family Bank is not available everywhere. Silver notes are not conducive to real circulation, and it would be much better if there is a paper currency replacement. Of course, this is just an idea. There is still a lot of preparatory work that needs to be done. If it is done, then there will be too much money to spend, which can be used to lend to Southern Ming in exchange for a sufficient population. worth it.

After having a general understanding in his mind, Yang Chendong put the matter aside. Even though the person who wants to say this is the Court Eunuch who came to declare the decree, it will take a lot of time for them to come before them, and now it is more important to solve the Vietnam problem first.

Speaking of the Vietnam issue, Yang Er, who was guarding the door, has strode into the tent. As soon as I saw Yang Chendong, I cup one fist in the other hand and said: “Young Master, someone from Vietnam came and said it must see you.”

“Well, let him in.” Yang Chendong’s face was indifferent, which was originally what he expected. After all, as soon as the soldiers came to the city, it was reasonable to send someone to negotiate. But I just don’t know what the other party will say.

Yang Er retired and soon re-entered the account, and introduced a man in his thirties.

As soon as the man entered the account, he first looked at Yang Chendong up and down, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he learned how to look like a Chinese. Cup one fist in the other hand and said: “Vietnam Crown Prince Le Thai Tong has seen the Great Ming Duke of Zhongdan.”

“en? You are the Vietnam Crown Prince?” Hearing the tone of Hu Mang from the registration number was shocked, obviously shocked Look like.

Yang Chendong’s eyes sank, but he quickly returned to his original state. I don’t know how many enemies and countries we will face in the future, but it’s just a small Vietnam Crown Prince that’s all, and it really doesn’t put it in his eyes.

I was very satisfied with Hu Mang’s performance, Le Thai Tong nodded, and then confidently said, “Yes, I am Vietnam Crown Prince.”

The daytime battle has been The strong performance of general mercenaries is undoubtedly. Everyone knows that if this battle continues, it is likely that the Vietnam army will lose. Imagine that you can’t even touch your opponent’s body, how can you hurt others?

If you lose on the battlefield, you have to take the route of negotiation. Although this may cost a lot of money, it is always better than being defeated or even killed. . Just who is sent to negotiate with Yang Chendong has become a headache for King Le Li.

It’s not so much negotiation as it is seeking peace. Those important ministers are naturally unwilling to do such an errand. And some young ministers who have the courage and ideas want to seize the opportunity, but their status is too low. Not only are they easy to be looked down upon when negotiating, but they are also unable to control many things. After thinking about it, Le Li turned his attention to his son.

Whether it is in terms of status or courage, his Crown Prince son is the best choice. In fact, Le Thai Tong did not let him down as a Royal Father. Seeing his father’s gaze turned to him, he took the initiative to stand up and assume this responsibility. This is why he appeared in the mercenary account. In the scene.

“Your courage is not small.” Hu Mang was still shocked and did not spirit slowly recovers. Of course Yang Chendong said this.

This is not to blame Hu Mang, he used to be just a fellow student next to Sixth Young Master. To put it bluntly, it is just a subordinate of the Yang Family with a higher status. Such an identity It is inevitable to see the Crown Prince of a country a little unnatural. It was Yang Chendong, who even had contact with Imperial Capital, the two emperors of Great Ming, the north and the south. His vision was naturally a bit broad. Although he was somewhat flustered because of the appearance of the other party, he quickly regained his composure.
