Chapter 192

"The emperor said that the royal guards should be punished for their reckless behavior, which led to the displeasure of mercenaries. Just considering the national disaster, I wrote down this matter. As for the 500000 Liang silver demanded, it should be withdrawn from the national treasury first and then deducted by the royal guards' Yamen. I also hope LV GUI can learn a lesson and control his subordinates. Don't do anything that is not good for the country LV GUI looked serious and warned in his words. Ru Zhu denounced the emperor on behalf of the emperor.

Finally, there was a result, and it was still the way to pay for the silver that he thought. LV GUI was relieved. He didn't worry about being scolded at all. This matter was originally the emperor's intention. He just accepted it for others and will be fine.

"The minister took the order to thank you." Lv GUI knelt down and knocked his head to the ground three times to show his respect for the king.

After finishing the emperor's explanation to LV GUI, you turned and looked at Yang Chen's host: "loyal and brave Marquis, the emperor also has an oral instruction for you."

"The minister took the order." Yang Chendong hugged his fists and looked very respectful, but his words were not respectful at all. "Please come and change the generation. The minister fell on his horse during the Civil War I, causing an old injury. Now he can't kneel on his knees. Please forgive me."

When Yingzong Zhu Qiyu was still there, he asked Yang Chendong to organize the birthday party of Princess Chang De San. Frankly, it was just looking for trouble with jealousy. At that time, after Yang Chendong carefully held a birthday party, in order not to give others an excuse to deal with himself, he lied that he fell right away and hurt his body. Now it is said that the injury caused by falling from a horse during the civil engineering change has caused an old injury, and the knee can't kneel. It echoes back and forth.

But I don't want to think about it. Yang Chendong is still under the age of 20. Even if he was really injured, he should recover at this age. But still taking this as an excuse, it is clear that it does not respect imperial power.

You are dissatisfied with the speech, but considering that it is time to reuse each other, if you care about such small things and delay major events, it will really outweigh the gains. Therefore, you have to turn a blind eye and say: "It doesn't matter. The emperor's edict just asked Hou Zhongdan to discuss with my father-in-law how to retreat from the enemy. By the way, the vanguard cavalry of the warla army will arrive at the capital city tomorrow, but I don't know how Hou Zhongdan will deal with it?"

As a supervising eunuch of the Royal Horse warden, you have the power to dictate military affairs. At this moment, he asked how to deal with the enemy, which is within the scope of his authority, but it is also said in the past.

Of course, Yang Chendong knows the identity of your residence and the other party, which represents imperial power. In other words, your residence is the supervisor of the army, which is to monitor your every move. This is also the feature of the war in the Ming Dynasty.

No matter where there is a war or how large a war is, eunuchs will participate in supervising the army. This is also the performance that the emperor wants to control everything in his hands. However, it is a big taboo for strategists to lead the army with people who don't know the army. Just like in the civil castle, Guo Jing, as the eunuch of the army, once played a restrictive role, making the elite army of Daming lose the best opportunity because of internal friction The fighter plane was defeated.

Having learned from the past, how could Yang Chendong let eunuchs participate in military affairs? Then he replied with a straight face: "your father-in-law, I still need to consult with mercenaries on how to fight the enemy. Of course, with the 500000 taels of silver, we can better demonstrate our sincerity. As for how to fight the war, I'm afraid it doesn't matter what you and I say."

"I see, but I don't know if my father-in-law can go to the mercenary barracks with Zhongdan Hou?" you said modestly, with a gentle complexion.

This is also what Dai Zong Zhu Qiyu meant. Although the mercenaries were invited by Yang Chendong, they used his silver. They can't specialize in people. If possible, their own people should contact more mercenaries. Wouldn't it be better if they could use them for themselves? They don't have to worry about loyalty and courage in everything.

To put it bluntly, it means to cross the river and tear down the bridge. Zhu Qiyu wants to get rid of Yang Chendong, a middleman. It is called taking his daughter-in-law and forgetting his mother.

Think carefully about this. How can Yang Chendong not see it? Everyone doesn't know that mercenaries are actually Yang's new army under him. They didn't uncover this relationship, but it's just because of the wrong time. As for someone who wants to fight the cold front's attention, he doesn't worry at all. It's a waste of wax by lighting a lamp by a blind man.

Just because it is not time to disclose this relationship, Yang Chendong will not make any decisions instead of mercenaries, but said with the same smile to Ruzhu, "Your father-in-law wants to go to the mercenary barracks. Of course, I welcome them. But what will be their opinion? I can't be the master. If something unpleasant happens, please don't be angry."

Hearing Yang Chendong's permission, you live immediately with great joy. As long as this person is not blocked from it, he is confident to make friends with mercenaries. After all, the other party comes to make money. Whose money is not money? He has the emperor as the backing and the silver of the national treasury as the backing. As long as he is willing to give up his capital, he is not afraid that he can't persuade mercenaries.

As if afraid that Yang Chendong would go back on his word, Ru Zhu hurriedly answered: "it's easy to say, it's easy to say, Zhongdan Hou just need to introduce him to me at that time. As for other things, I'll take care of him naturally."

"OK, then get ready for the silver and start." Yang Chendong smiled.

"OK." Ru Zhu also quickly agreed, and then turned to LV GUI and said, "commander, please send some people to escort 500000 liang of silver from the national treasury to the compound of mercenaries. Thank you."

Both Ru Zhu and LV GUI are close friends of Duke Jin, and their official positions are very similar. It's right to be polite. LV GUI replied politely, "yes, yes, I'll arrange someone to do it now."

The interrogation in the morning finally came to an end with the concession of imperial power. Of course, in the eyes of the outside world, this is the concession of the royal guards, not the concession of the emperor.

One hundred royal guards launched ten carts, each with ten large boxes, totaling 500000 taels of silver, straight to the mercenary camp.

It seems that he is afraid that Yang Chendong will play a bad role in it. Generally, when LV GUI arranges people to go to the Treasury to get the silver, you live with him all the time. You are really inseparable and don't give him any space and time to spread the news.

But what Ru Zhu didn't know was that Yang Chendong stood with his hands behind him. The hands behind him kept gesturing and conveying what he wanted to say. All the tiger mang standing there as a schoolboy saw a real one.

After seeing what the young master wanted to say, he quietly withdrew. In this regard, Ru Zhu doesn't care at all. What he wants to stare at is Yang Chendong. Don't spread news to the outside, especially with mercenaries. Other people and things are not within his scope of concern.

In this way, he accompanied Yang Chendong until the silver was ready. Then he smiled and asked Zhongdan hou to accompany him to the place where the mercenary's compound was located.

Yang Chendong readily agreed, and the party went out of the royal guards' Yamen. Along the way, the team soon attracted the onlookers of the people they met. Spies from the Security Bureau had been arranged in the crowd for a long time. With their intention to spread, the trouble about the royal guards looking for mercenaries to protect the capital soon spread. Many people denounced the royal guards, and the balance of public opinion tilted towards the mercenaries.

Guiding public opinion for their own use was not noticed at that time, but Yang Chendong knew that many times, getting the support of the people was half the victory. Of course, there is no need for him to talk to others about what is considered to be truth in future generations.

There is a wide road in front of the compound where the mercenaries are located. At the beginning, I had considered the problem of army assembly, so I chose here. Waiting for Yang Chendong and you to live in the vastness, naturally I don't feel the slightest crowding.

"This is a good place. Zhongdan Hou has a heart." Ru Zhu seems to be interested in getting close to Yang Chendong. Even in this courtyard, he has to boast a few words before he will give up.

In this regard, Yang Chendong just smiled without saying anything. Of course, he knows what kind of thoughts the other party has. If he is not still useful now, he may have been cold eyed and even want to find his own trouble.

For the eunuch who has no feelings at all and has only interests and power in his eyes, Yang Chendong's superficial politeness is very face saving. As for any words of thanks and praise, it is simply impossible. That is, Leng Feng has entered the capital. After that, you can't imagine how much embarrassment anyone can give him. This is the performance of full confidence.

Yang Chendong was indifferent to it all the way. He smiled but didn't speak. In your eyes, he received bursts of sneers in his heart. He had thought that once he got involved with mercenaries, the loyal and brave Marquis would stay where it was cool. Even eunuchs look down on nobles who rely on the power of others.

At the gate of the compound, four cold fronts stood here in a standard upright military posture. They held a cold 95 style black paint in their hands, and the bright bayonets on the gun body gave people a feeling that they were very close to strangers. "How mighty!" far away, after seeing the demeanor of the four mercenaries, you live to praise sincerely.

While talking, the team came to the gate of the courtyard. Four bright bayonets were placed in front of the crowd. "Don't disturb anyone in a military important place. Please leave quickly, or you will bear the consequences." the four cold front did not show the slightest fear because of the vastness of the other party's team. On the contrary, they said preemptively.
