Chapter 427

Mercenary barracks outside Gaozhou Prefecture.

The emperor of Japan agreed to buy artillery and prepared a full ten million taels of silver for this purpose. The news has been sent to him. After reading it, Yang Chendong just instructed everything to act according to the plan and hand it over to Kaohsiung teachers. He threw this information aside.

Compared with Japan far away at sea, Yang Chendong is more concerned about the current situation and whether he can be crowned king.

It should be said that Yang Chendong had no such extravagant hopes. All he wanted was how to expand his military strength and get more things he needed through the war. After all, if Leng Feng wants to develop, he can't do without a sufficient population base. He doesn't want to use outsiders. He believes that the Han nationality can only make his mind on Daming.

Facts have also proved that war is indeed the best way to test the strength of the army and the best opportunity to expand the army. Just destroying a miscellaneous yellow bandit army composed of only more than 100000 people won so many soldiers and silver, which made Yang Chendong see the benefits of war. But I never thought that the critical situation in Yunnan made the yingzongqi town throw aside the old ancestor's testimonies and gave the title of Xiping Hou Xiping king.

Don't underestimate the king with a different surname. Once you have the status of a prince, you can open your own house or have your own army in the open. Although the number can't be more than 3000, for Yang Chendong, once you have such power, I'm afraid there are few places in the world that you can't go.

There are too many advantages to be a prince, so I don't cite them one by one, which makes Yang Chendong excited. But he also knew that even if Mu bin could be granted a king with a different surname, it was just a special event in a special period, and did not say hereditary, it was doomed that the Xiping king would have an effect only on Mu bin. On the contrary, his descendants would not enjoy such treatment.

Even mubin has so many backhands to seal the king. If he wants to seal the king, he is afraid it will be more difficult. Not to mention that Zhuqi town has always been afraid of itself. In this regard, Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu brothers have the same attitude.

But there are examples ahead. Even in difficulties, Yang Chendong has to fight for it. For him, this is definitely an opportunity. In the words of the people, after passing this village, I'm afraid there will be no shop.

With a goal, when Kuang ye came to visit him, he proposed that he admired the king and looked seriously ill, in order to add some points to the possibility of this matter.

Of course, if you really want to let Zhuqi town loose, it's not enough to just do these. In other words, the more complex the situation on the battlefield is, the more dangerous Nanming is, the higher the success of this matter will be.

Therefore, during these days, Yang Chendong has been paying attention to the movement of the first Department of minwang. In what can be called date and night expectation, the other party finally has movement.

The Miao people were the first to move.

This time, the minwang group was able to defeat the Ming army, and made rapid progress. The continuous offensive to pull out the stronghold was completely inseparable from the help of the Miao people. It was precisely because the Miao family dared to fight, kill and rush, with great momentum, that the Nanming army retreated day by day, so that a large number of sites and land were lost in a very short time.

At that time, there was no saying that fifty-six nationalities were one family. As ethnic minorities, they are often limited from birth. Their birth is doomed that they will not achieve much in their life. For example, they live high in the temple. Sorry, that's something they don't even think about.

As a result, the life of the Miao people is getting worse and worse day by day due to the poor growth environment. Until Zhuqi town built Nanming in Nanjing, taxes were increased in order to quickly complete the goal of recuperation, which made the Miao people who had not a good life soon under the weight of life.

Where there is oppression, there will be resistance!

When the Miao family was suffering, King min's lobbyists came and promised many benefits, which moved some leaders of the Miao family. Since then, when they left their hometown and Yunnan, they have come all the way to Guangdong, and finally let them know what wealth is. In contrast, it seems that their life was too poor in the past.

Sudden sudden wealth often makes a person dizzy and change his behavior. Today's Miao army is like this. They captured some cities without any effort, and then grabbed a lot of good things. The trace of greed in their hearts can't be curbed, which gradually makes them like the feeling of big looting.

The main force of the first minwang system is still digesting the cities they have obtained while constantly recruiting troops to consolidate their strength; When the Jiaozhi army captured the city, it did not forget to transfer the good things and some people to its own country; Only Miao Jun, they don't care about any cities, and they don't want to win the world. They pay more attention to the immediate benefits.

Whether they are short-sighted or have no ambition, in short, they attack the city most fiercely. Often, after capturing the city, they rob it for several days, and then they will leave here, rush forward with new goals and continue to attack the city.

In less than a month, they destroyed more than a dozen cities and state capitals, and the number of people affected reached more than one million.

The Miao army divided into several branches is like a group of locusts. Wherever they go, the crops are barren and the people are displaced.

It is said that the south of Daming has not experienced any war for many years, and the people are still rich. It's not hard for other troops to raise grain here, but the bad thing is that it's the Miao people. They not only rob food, money and women, but also set fire to those things they can't eat, as if they were to vent their poor life over the years.

Such a practice naturally makes more and more victims in Yunnan, Guangxi and Guangdong provinces. So that later, after many people knew what the Miao army had done, they left their homes and families without waiting for them to fight.

Although people are reluctant to leave their hometown where they have lived for a long time, more people choose to run away from home than to live. Only some old people, who are old and have bad legs and feet, choose to stay. They look like they want to die in their hometown.

The disaster of the Miao army was not oppressed by the collapse of the earth. This soon reached a consensus and was openly said in the hall of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Several old and important officials, such as Wang Zuo, also spoke to the emperor one after another and asked to send troops to clean up these Miao troops in order to save Li people from fire and water.

Some of these people are sincere for their country, and some of them have bad luck because their ancestral home is in these three provinces. The officials occupied in their hometown and the good fields in their homes have been occupied by the Miao army. In their anger, they naturally hope that the emperor can send troops to encircle and suppress them and help them regain everything they have lost.

Playing words and inviting more and more soldiers covered the whole dragon case, and Zhu Qi's face became more and more ugly.

Why doesn't he want to send troops to solve the rebellion? But first of all, he has to have such strength.

The Ming Dynasty, especially in the south, has not seen swordsmen for a long time. According to the results of Kuang Ye Shangshu's previous patrol, after years of recuperation, some Nanming guards have some available soldiers, but they have their task. It is an important task to keep their territory clean.

If these troops were transferred now, they would be concentrated against the rebellion of the king of min. Fewer people have no effect on the overall situation. If more people are afraid of the emptiness of the rear side, there will be a new rebellion. In that case, there will be changes in the southwest and accidents in the southeast, then the Nanming regime is really in danger.

If the west wall falls because of this, it will not pay off. Without drawing troops, we can't solve the immediate problem. Although the military department has begun to recruit troops, it always takes a certain time. It's the time when it's difficult to ride a tiger. Kuang Ye's second 800 Li expedited war report was sent to the desk of Zhuqi town.

This war report explained the fact that Wei Guang committed suicide in the royal guards yesterday. It focused on Yang Chendong's poisoning. It was important to send troops to learn from mubin to become king first.

"Waste, a group of waste." on the Jinluan hall, Zhu Qizhen, who saw the memorial, raised his hand and threw the 800 mile rush aside to serve the feet of Cao Jixiang, the chief eunuch.

"The emperor calm down and take care of the dragon body." Cao Jixiang did not know what had happened, so he knelt down on the ground with a frightened look.

"Stop your anger, stop your anger. You know to stop my anger every day, but you must do something to make me happy. Wei Guang, who didn't succeed in killing, admitted all the troubles. I've been detained as a hero to kill. Now people ask me for the throne. You say, give it or not." the iron faced Zhuqi town roared and stared at Cao Jixiang, Expressing their dissatisfaction.

Cao Jixiang's face turned white at this moment. "Emperor, but does Yang Chendong want to be king?"

"Who else but him?" Zhu Qizhen acquiesced in this fact.

"That won't work." Cao Jixiang heard that. His eyes kept turning and said.

Listening to Cao Jixiang shouting no, Zhu Qizhen was interested, "Aiqing said no. what's the reason?"

Cao Jixiang, kneeling on the ground, climbed forward with both hands and feet, came to the foot of Zhuqi Town, raised his head and said with an appearance of being loyal to the country: "Emperor, it's the rule set by our ancestors that different surnames should not be granted the king. King Xiping is an exception, but facts have proved that it's not very useful to grant the king with different surnames. Besides, if anyone wants to give it to anyone, it's not a mess that day. Once the world is peaceful, how to treat them should we fear that they will never fall."
