Chapter 380

In contrast, the big tent not far away was really very lively. When the eunuch announced the emperor's will, they either received the reward of silver, or received military merit and official promotion. Which one was not happy? Even Ma Wei's meritorious service offset his previous crime of losing his territory.

"General Ma, doctor Guan, why don't you see the imperial envoy?" the eunuch who announced the decree said with a trace of dissatisfaction before seeing Yang Chendong appear.

Eunuchs always had a high status in the Ming Dynasty. In history, most of the powerful officials and eunuchs came from this dynasty. Which eunuch can be a decree eunuch is not trusted by the emperor? Such a person is something that foreign officials dare not offend.

For his question, they also have to answer. After seeing that they had a tacit understanding, Guan Ying took the initiative to stand up and said, "if you go back to your father-in-law, Zhongdan is not in the camp. I think you should go out for an inspection. You know, as the commander of the army, it's normal to have more heart."

"Oh, that's a pity. My father-in-law wants to admire the style of loyalty and courage. Even if it's unfortunate, I'll have a chance to see you again." the eunuch looked disappointed. I don't know that his words are no different from missing life and death in the eyes of Ma Wei and Guan Ying.

At the beginning, Yang Chendong killed Jia Ping and punished Han Qing. It was so fast that it also called to show that this person was not easy to provoke. This time, I rewarded everyone. I didn't mention Yang Chendong alone. With each other's temper, who knows what will be done? At this time, the eunuch even wanted to see the imperial envoy. Maybe he was beaten out in anger. What is it if he didn't miss life and death?

After receiving some benefits and silver from Ma Wei and Guan Ying, the eunuch left happily. The two generals were left with a bitter look on their faces.

It must be very clear to both of them who should make the first contribution to the great victory outside the city of Guangzhou. But this time, the emperor rewarded them all except the first contribution. In this way, wouldn't they deserve it?

Of course, what is more important is that he will go to Wuzhou Prefecture tomorrow. Will the imperial envoy be angry and change his plan?

They wanted to go to Yang Chendong's account to find out, but they were worried that they would really touch the mold. Finally, a method was discussed, that is, to test whether Yang Chendong agreed with the reason that the rich gentry in Guangzhou government wanted to preserve the army.

Having made a decision, they went into the city and found Lord Lu Youfu, the chief envoy of Guangdong, and simply said the situation again.

"Lord Lu, it's still a matter for you to go. After all, you are the chief envoy of Guangdong. This time, the emperor rewards only military generals and no literary ministers. It seems that it has nothing to do with you. If you go now, the imperial envoy will not come to you even if he is angry." Ma Wei said with a smile.

"Yes, according to general Ben, Lord Lu is indeed the most suitable candidate. After all, the rich gentry want to bid farewell to the army, which is originally the business of local parents." Guan Ying said while mending his knife.

At this moment, Lu Youfu knew that he had been sold. However, when he thought that the war was for the peace of Guangdong and did a good job, he was the chief envoy. Even for himself, he had to do something at this time. "Well, I'll go and have a look. Just remember, I owe you a good meal of wine."

Of course, this is a joke. Lu Youfu said this. Ma Wei and Guan Ying nodded and agreed, and then watched Lord Lu enter the camp of the imperial envoy all the way.

Go in fast and come back even faster. Lu Youfu shook his head as he walked. This scene fell in the eyes of Ma Wei and Guan Ying. It can be said that he was worried. As soon as they approached, they came forward and asked, "how's Lord Lu? But the imperial envoy changed his plan?"

"Hey, the plan hasn't changed. The imperial envoy said everything was as usual." Lu Youfu shook his head and said the result.

Hearing that there was no change, Ma Wei and Guan Ying were relaxed. But then he asked, "Lu Dayou, that is, everything is as usual. Why did you look like that just now? What does this mean?"

"It's just that when I saw the imperial envoy's face as usual and his reply was rapid, I thought that this time there was indeed some unfair reward." Lu Youfu said with a sigh on his face. When I saw Yang Chendong just now, the other party was still the same as before. It seemed that the eunuch had never appeared. This calmness, this calmness, and even this broad mind are places that people have to admire. At least he is afraid that he will not behave so bland. Lu Youfu is moved.

After all, the eunuchs who announced the decree were ordered by the emperor to discuss the emperor in private as ministers, but they didn't have the courage to do so. Fortunately, as planned, they can go back and have a good sleep.

In the military tent not far away, Yang Chendong is thinking about something. Hu Yan has left to prepare dinner. Only Hu Mang and yang are left here.

"Young master? Aren't you angry?" seeing that there were no outsiders, Hu mang finally asked.

"Yes, my subordinates also want to ask this." Yang Er lowered his voice. It's not a secret he's talking about, but his voice is like thunder. When he speaks normally, he will sometimes startle Yang Chendong. This is why he was banned. When he speaks in the future, he should lower several keys.

The muggy gourds around the two often don't ask themselves. The two people who rarely speak have opened their mouth on this matter. Yang Chendong's closed eyes slowly opened, and then looked at them with interest and said, "what? You're defending the injustice for the young master?"

"Young master, it's true that it's not to fight against injustice. Why do those who haven't made great achievements get a reward, but you don't have anything?" seeing Yang Chendong's lifeless appearance, Hu mang was much bolder at this moment.

"Ha, ha ha, that's right. It's true." Yang Chendong nodded and seemed to agree with Hu Mang, but then shook his head. "But what's this fact? When others must turn a blind eye, facts can also be regarded as nonexistent. In the final analysis, everything depends on strength."

After Yang Chendong said this, he looked at Hu Mang and Yang ER and said in a teaching tone, "Remember, benefits are not to come, but should be achieved by practical actions. Only when you become strong, will no one dare to show you face, and all kinds of unfairness will go away from you. On the contrary, before that, even if you have any dissatisfaction, you need to bear it. Otherwise, even if you have great talent, you won't give full play to it Yes, do you understand? "

These words are more or less profound. But at least they haven't been with Yang Chendong for two days. Even if they can't hear them completely, they have heard a general idea. The young master's words mean that they are not strong enough and need to work hard to develop. Only when they develop and become strong, such injustice will not happen again.

"Yes, young master, we understand. We will work harder in the future." Hu Mang and Yang er said solemnly, looking very serious.

"Very good." seeing that the other party understood what he meant, Yang Chendong smiled first, and then closed his mouth. What he thought was how the population of the Yang family grew rapidly.

In the final analysis, the development of the Yang system is still too short, and the foundation is too poor. For example, only a population problem has strangled all his development paths. Although the news came from chixian city this morning that the fleet sent to the sea to look for rubber trees has returned and brought hundreds of ships of transplantable rubber trees, this is good news To prove that electricity can finally be used in the city. But even so, Yang Chendong is not only pleased, but also somewhat melancholy.

With the territory, if there is not enough population and army to support it, there will also be a big problem. Before the real expansion begins, how to get more people to the red embedded city is not known by outsiders. This is the most important problem. "Population, population." With these in mind, plans began to take shape in Yang Chendong's mind.

Early the next morning, more than 7000 allied troops set out from the Guangzhou government, aiming at Zhaoqing government. As the chief envoy of Guangdong, Lu Youfu did not follow, but saw off the army and his party under the city. He expected that the army could completely defeat or even eliminate the Yellow bandit army and let him be a real chief envoy of Guangdong.

As soon as the army went out, spies sent by the Yellow bandits passed the news to Zhaoqing house hundreds of miles away. Huang Yuliang, who was in Zhaoqing, had listened to Zhu Fangyong's suggestion and retreated to Wuzhou house.

At this time, more than 40000 troops were gathered in Wuzhou mansion, most of them were defeated soldiers outside Guangzhou mansion. After these days, all the people who had been defeated and fled returned to Wuzhou mansion to make a comeback.

Or it can be said that they have no choice now. The surrounding cities were destroyed when they rebelled, and no one planted good fields. What about the harvest in autumn? Without food, survival will become a problem. At least there will be food to eat in Wuzhou Prefecture. Although it's not a time of war, it's just two porridge a day, but as long as you're not hungry After death, people will still faint. There will be hope, won't there?
