Chapter 340

"Plop!" on his knees, Tong Qiao knelt down in front of Kuang Ye.

At the moment when Tong Qiao knelt to the ground, Guan Ying also came to Kuang Ye's body and whispered about what had happened.

Kuang Ye was sitting there, his face was unchanged, but when he heard the back, his anger was already rising. After hearing what happened, he slapped the stone table angrily and said, "what a bastard. Where do they stand the military law of Daming?"

Needless to say, this is naturally accusing Qi Bushen of being wrong. After saying these words, when he looked up at Yang Chendong, his face had returned to normal, "Zhongdan Gong, I'm really sorry to make you laugh."

"Ha ha." Yang Chendong just pulled out a smile from the corners of his mouth. He didn't say anything. Maybe at this moment, it's inappropriate to say anything.

"Well, you go out and wait first. I'll talk to Zhongdan for a while." Kuang Ye waved his hand and waved back Guan Ying and Tong Qiao.

The uneasy Tong Qiao bowed his head and withdrew from the yard. When he couldn't see Kuang ye, he carefully tried and asked, "Lord Guan, what Kuang Shangshu said just now is the one in the north?"

"Well, do you know how big a basket you almost poked this time?" Guan Ying nodded. When he spoke, the accusation became more and more obvious. Speaking of it, he was a little unconvinced, loyal and courageous. Especially when he saw the real person, he found that he was so young and not a little despised. It's just that Kuang Ye is his teacher and his senior official. Even the teacher respects each other so much that he can't do anything against it.

After getting Guan Ying's accurate answer, cold sweat stayed along his neck. Tong Qiao has heard of the name of Zhongdan Gong for a long time. He not only saved the life of the current emperor Yingzong, but also defeated the very elite warla army. Thinking that he almost took such a person as an opponent, a cool breath rose from the hind foot stem, which really frightened him.

Under the pavilion. After there was no one else, Kuang Ye couldn't help sighing, "loyal and brave, I'm not afraid of your jokes. You can see that this is our Daming army. What was bewitched by the magistrate Qi of Hangzhou? It was he who wanted to go into the city to play the autumn wind."

Kuang ye can see things through at a glance, which is enough to prove that such a thing has not happened for the first time, but also that he has a clear mind. But Yang Chendong still didn't answer, because he knew that the other party came here, not just as simple as meeting, but should have a deeper meaning. As for what it was, he also guessed about it. He was waiting for the other party to say it, or he was waiting for a price.

Yang Chendong didn't speak. Kuang Ye didn't think so. Instead, he continued, "loyal to the public, to be honest, the situation in the south is not good, especially after the rebellion of Zhu Huixi triggered the rebellion of the Miao people, and now there is the rebellion of Guangdong. Its potential has affected several cities and more than ten counties, which is quite strong."

"Oh? When did this happen?" Yang Chendong has been paying close attention to the situation of Guangdong. In history, there will be a post order of the Guangdong Rebellion (the Guangdong rebellion last year has been calmed down, but Huang Yuliang ran away. This is the Guangdong rebellion after his father's Huang Xiaoyang). According to the records, Huang Yuliang started the army first, but Zhu Huixi rebelled first because of his arrival, which is somewhat different from that in history.

"I just received the 800 Li urgent this morning." Kuang ye took out a memorial from his arms and then handed it to Yang Chendong.

For Kuang Ye's kindness, Yang Chendong didn't reach out to pick it up. Instead, he waved his hand and said, "Lord Kuang, you don't have to see these local princes. You know, I'm a minister of the northern Ming Dynasty. Now my family and foundation, even my wife, are there. Don't hurt me."

"Hey, how do you say that? You saved the emperor's life. The earliest loyal and courageous uncle was also given by Yingzong. How can you say that you are the Minister of Beiming?" Kuang Ye looked like he wanted to reason seriously.

"Well, well, Lord Kuang, it's not necessary to be so clear about this point. This time I'm just going back to my hometown to worship my ancestors. I really don't want to provoke other things. Besides, just now my Lord said that the good and bad of the Ming army are uneven. I'm not a fairy again. What can I do to help the Yingzong emperor share his worries?" Yang Chendong waved his hand and didn't want to answer.

"You are not an immortal, but you have a good relationship with mercenaries. I have seen their demeanor for a long time. They are really the elite of the elite. If they do it, the problem can be solved easily." Kuang ye took this opportunity to finally get to the point. That is, he wants to use mercenaries to fight, counter the rebellion and solve the banditry in the south.

"Oh, it's embarrassing for me. The mercenaries have limited hands. Besides, the money needed to hire them is a big figure. Can the current imperial court take it out?" Yang Chendong still refused, but in fact, it's just a temptation from both sides.

In Nanming, Zhu Qi town chose the country under construction only when it had no choice, or when it was second to none. Because everything was forced, the natural resources available were limited. Even less gold and silver were taken from the Treasury.

Although over the past year, relying on the rich south, the situation of the imperial court is much better than that when it was just built, it is far from being able to supply and fight two major wars. Yang Chendong said that mercenaries cost too much, which is based on this point.

"Well... The emperor really can't take out too much gold and silver now." Kuang Ye lowered his head when he said this, but soon he raised his head again and said with a somewhat excited look, "But isn't this a loyal and courageous public? As long as you are willing to come out as a guarantor, the man owes you a life. How can this face be given? As long as the two rebellions can be neutralized, the imperial court can increase a lot of taxes in less than five years. At that time, there will be no problem paying enough silver for mercenaries. How about?"

"Not so much?" Yang Chendong simply refused. It was clear that Kuang Ye wanted to trap the White Wolf empty handed. What five-year period would it be like in five years? If Kuang Ye was gone at that time, who would he ask for? He would never do such thankless work.

"Zhong Dan Gong is a kind man. Can he just watch the people in the South suffer from the war and their families are broken and people are killed? Otherwise, mercenaries send troops, and everything they see and like along the way can be taken away for military expenses?" while talking, Kuang Ye finally showed some of his cards.

Speaking of the Ming Dynasty, after the rule of benevolence, the people were still very rich, especially among the aristocratic families and those rich businessmen, there were many valuable antiques, calligraphy and paintings, which were like treasure. Once destroyed by war, they were really destroyed. Those that were not destroyed remained valuable in future generations. And now the most lacking people on xiaoryukyu island are people, and the most in Daming is people , you can take the opportunity to "rob" some people back, which is also a great advantage.

Speaking of those calligraphy and paintings, Yang Chendong thought in his heart more than once that he would open a huge museum and put all the good things in it for future generations to look at, observe and experience, and feel the profound history of a country with thousands of years of civilization.

Kuang Ye's words scratched his itch. But even so, Yang Chendong still didn't promise. "Lord Kuang, that's not what I said. I just saved his life. He's willing to give someone to keep my life and safety. That's all. If you ask again, you'll get an inch!"

......

Outside the Chang family's other courtyard, the luxury carriage drove out of the mansion and went straight to the Hangzhou mansion in the city.

Kuang Ye sat in the carriage with some disappointment on his face. He had tried his best to lobby Yang Chendong, which was also the meaning of Yingzong. But who thought that the other party still didn't agree. Thinking of the final dialogue between the two, he retreated and asked if he could arrange some young Ming army generals to go to the mercenary camp for training, Yang Chendong directly He refused on the ground that the base was a secret place.

This kind of behavior that doesn't give a trace of face gives Kuang ye a headache. He thinks he has given all his cards, but the other party just doesn't take over. What can he do?

Fortunately, business belongs to business, and private friends belong to private friends. Yang Chendong's impression of him is still good. Looking at his face, he returned Niu Zhi and others who had made trouble in the other courtyard of the Chang family, and even deliberately sent him out in his carriage, which is already showing a great respect.

"Hey, this loyal and brave man looks young, but he does things like an old fox. It's a skill to refuse you, which makes people unable to be angry." in the luxurious carriage, the wrinkled old hands touch the luxurious decoration in the carriage, and Kuang ye can't help sighing.

"Whoosh!"

A roaring arrow suddenly roared in the air. Next, there were bursts of chaos outside. Then, with the sound of Guan Ying and Tong Qiao, they thought of "protect adults and catch assassins!"

The chaos outside didn't last very long. After a burst of weapon exchange, it came to an end. Then the voice of Guan Ying came from outside the carriage, "Sir, most of the assassins have been killed, but there are only one person and two alive. They... They said they came to assassinate Zhongdan."

"Assassinating Zhong Dan Gong? Why did you find our official..." he was only half talking. Suddenly, Kuang Ye realized that he was in the luxury carriage Yang Chendong usually took. At that moment, he said with a bitter smile: "Hey, I don't know whether he meant well or knew how to do it."
