Chapter 351

Kuang Ye naturally can't think of so many things. He couldn't find out the strong desire in Yang Chendong's heart. After listening to what he just said, he just sighed about the coldness of the world and went to the front hall. Today, I was ordered by the emperor to ask Yang Chendong to send troops. After all, the chaos in the South has become more and more serious. If it is not stopped, it may affect the political situation of Nanming.

Yang Chendong, who had just changed his green shirt on the front hall seat, also came in. "Hehe, I'm sorry to have kept Kuang Shangshu waiting, but has the emperor got any good news?"

"Ha ha, Zhongdan's guess is really good. The emperor took a lot of effort to invite you. This time, he paid enough money. Even Beiming recognized the legitimacy. In exchange for you, a big general, don't live up to the emperor's kindness." Kuang Ye smiled, but in fact, he was bleeding in his heart. He saw the appearance of Yingzong Zhuqi town when he was angry. He was really one of the dragons angry, but his body was thousands of miles away. But fortunately, it is not without a little gain to pay such a huge price. Yang Chendong can lead the troops out or has been recognized by the emperor Daizong. In this way, he has an explanation.

This time Yang Shan's move made Yingzong very angry. If he could catch him, he must not kill the nine families. But after all, things have been done. Now we can only expect Yang Chendong to do his best to recover some losses as much as possible.

Yang Chendong naturally pretended to be flattered. He smiled and said with a positive face, "the emperor's grace is vast, and Chendong will be devastated to repay the emperor's grace. It's just the request put forward by his own public mercenaries. I don't know whether the Emperor..."

"Yes, yes." seeing that Yang Chendong didn't mean to make a mistake, Kuang Ye hurriedly said: "The emperor sympathizes with mercenaries' efforts, so he is very kind this time. He allows your army to ask for what you need by attacking your opponent in the process of suppressing bandits, but please make a statistics of what you have and report it. Not only that, the emperor also specially ordered Zhong Dan Gong to be the imperial envoy of the emperor, so you can do cheap things when you take action. In addition, there is Guangdong garrison 5 near Guangdong A total of more than 10000 troops, including 1600 people, two Qianwei posts in Guangzhou, one Qianwei post in Shaozhou and one Qianwei post in Pingle, can be dispatched by Imperial Envoys. The nearby damingzhou county will also arrange food and grass for the army... "

Kuang Ye seems to be born without Yang Chendong. He quickly took out his cards one by one. It seems to be honest, but it seems that there is nothing practical except 10000 soldiers.

It's like the problem of food and grass, that is, fighting for Nanming. How can mercenaries still need to provide their own food and grass? The so-called emperor doesn't need hungry soldiers?

There is also the post of imperial envoy minister, which is also a temporary official post. When you use it, it naturally has a lot of power, but once you can't use it? I'm afraid it will be beaten back to its original form immediately. In this regard, Yingzong's behavior is far less kind than acting on behalf of Zong. At least others have given him a position of loyalty and courage.

Kuang Ye's words are high sounding, but in fact, there's nothing really to pay. Even the military expenditure needs to rob bandits by himself. I'm afraid ordinary generals will shake their heads if they change such conditions, but Yang Chendong has already taken everything into account and even calculated it. The most important thing is that he needs resources and people, as well as higher popularity Each takes what he needs. Even if that's the case, why would he refuse? Even without these things, he would do the same.

"OK." when he looked at Kuang Ye's dry mouth, Yang Chendong laughed, then patted the table and said, "it's settled. It's hard for Kuang Shangshu to mediate in the middle. I'm the loyal uncle promised by Ying Zong. Naturally, I should do my best to relieve the emperor's worries to the greatest extent."

Yang Chendong's promise also made Kuang Ye look a little excited. "Well, this time there is a loyal and courageous public. Naturally, there is nothing to worry about, but I just don't know how many mercenaries can send troops there?"

The old fox's smile, Kuang Ye's smile seems calm, but in fact, his eyes are like a moment. I'm afraid this is what he cares about most.

"Ha ha." Yang Chendong didn't answer immediately, but grinned first, then picked up the hot tea on the table and asked, "Kuang Shangshu must know a lot about mercenaries. It's like in the war of civil engineering, there were only more than 100 people around me, but he saved everyone from the battlefield. And when warla approached the capital of the northern Ming Dynasty, does Shangshu know how many mercenaries were sent?"

A rhetorical question made Kuang Ye start to bow his head and meditate, "I heard that there are not many troops."

"Yes, not much. In the final analysis, there are only 400 people." Yang Chendong stretched out four fingers and said proudly, "there are only 400 people, and his father dares to call Valla more than 100000 elite. He dares not to make the idea of Beiming and turn north. How many mercenaries can you say to deal with a bandit without any force support?"

This seems to be a rhetorical question, but it does show Yang Chendong's confidence. At this time, he smiled, the corners of his mouth tilted slightly, and showed a strategizing expression.

"Oh? There are only four hundred?" Kuang Ye was already shocked when he heard this. Although it was said that Nanming had some intelligence personnel in Beiming, and the news back at that time said that there were only four hundred mercenaries, such information was not actually accepted by everyone.

According to their understanding, it is impossible to change the overall situation only by relying on 400 mercenaries. This should be just a cover up for the northern Ming Dynasty. To say so little about the number of mercenaries is just to highlight the strength of their northern Ming army. But now these words come out of Yang Chendong's mouth, and the meaning is completely different. He doesn't need to deceive himself. At least at such a time, he doesn't need to lie. Otherwise, once exposed, he won't be able to stand down. No wonder Kuang Ye was so shocked.

"Of course it's true." Yang Chendong nodded very seriously, as if he were a memory. "Dai Zong paid a price of tens of millions of silver in order to invite these 400 mercenary warriors. It's really distressing. Fortunately, the war was won and the country was stable, so everything was worth it."

When it comes to the price of tens of millions of silver, Kuang Ye's eyes blinked suddenly, obviously shocked. Later, when Yang Chendong was staring at him, he quickly showed a bitter smile, "Zhongdan Gong, Yingzong has just set foot in Nanjing, and the Treasury is empty. There is really not so much silver for you."

"The local public knows." Yang Chendong lifted his right hand and stopped Kuang Ye's words, "It is precisely because my father knew this that no lion opened his mouth. To tell you the truth, as a Daming man, my father's everything was given by the emperor. Now I have to use the ministers. Of course, I have to stand up. Not only that, my father also discussed with the eldest brother, the leader of the mercenaries. In order to completely solve the banditry in the south, this time the mercenaries are willing to send more than 3000 troops, This is definitely a big deal. "

"Three thousand? OK, OK!" Kuang Ye was listening very carefully. At the moment when the number of three thousand came out, he became very excited. Of course, this was what Yang Chendong had done before. Think about it, it took only 400 people to bombard the Valla, which is known as more than 100000 troops. Although the army of the Northern Ming Dynasty also contributed at that time, it would be difficult to rely on the old soldiers of the northern Ming Dynasty without the 400 people anyway To win.

In contrast, this time the mercenaries sent 3000 troops, which is more than seven times that of the last time. In this way, how can Kuang ye not be excited? No wonder he can even say two good words.

With these foundations, the other party's subsequent conversation became much easier. During this period, Kuang ye also took out the Shangfang sword given by Yingzong. He said that as an imperial envoy, he had the right to make arbitrary decisions on the occasion. If any officials in Nanming were disobedient, he could use this sword to cut them without being convicted. He also said that Guan Ying admired Zhongdan Gong for a long time and highly respected the military God. Can he use it this time The opportunity to learn. Of course, with this person, you can better mobilize the nearby Ming army and so on.

He rubbed the long sword in his hand. Yang Chendong had seen many Shangfang swords appear in later films and TV. Every time this thing was taken out, it seemed that there would be golden light flashing. Now, he can finally hold it in his hand. Of course, at the moment he really held it in his hand, he found that the sword is also very ordinary, but it is more colorful than ordinary swords. In the final analysis, it is just like a sword It's just a sign.

After hearing that Guan Ying had to follow him, Yang Chendong first felt that Kuang Ye was watching himself. But when he thought about it, it was normal. After all, if there were no military people around, some things would inevitably encounter such and such trouble. Besides, even if he refused Guan Ying, I'm afraid there would be other people around him for various reasons Now, it's better to promise earlier and settle the matter earlier. At least Kuang Yecheng can give himself a favor.

"Guan Ying is Kuang Shangshu's favorite general. He should be a person with some skills. That's right. Follow him. But please tell him to follow me. Just listen to my orders. I don't need him to put forward any opinions. Hehe, anyway, even if he puts forward opinions, his own public may not listen. This still needs to be made clear first. Otherwise, call me If you lose the war, don't blame your country's public. "
