Come to Daming with military supplies

Page 656



Hearing the applause of congratulations in his ears, and looking at the school-level officers attending the meeting, Yang Chendong stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then he encouraged, comforted and said in a cheering tone, "Today is the promotion of Shebie and Tian Hu. The rank of major general, but there will be more generals in the future. In the future, we will form the New Third Army, the New Fourth Army and even more. As long as you have the strength and ability, don’t be afraid of not having the opportunity to perform.”

During the defense of Shicheng, Yang Chendong saw his own shortcomings.That is, when facing a strong enemy, there are still too few soldiers in his hands.If it is due to the poor background, it has only been a few years, and what is being pursued is the route of elite soldiers.As Shicheng has completely established its foothold on the grassland, Yang Chendong's requirements for elite cavalry are also increasing, from fewer and more refined to now more and more refined.

After the meeting, Yang Chendong stayed with Shebie and talked emphatically about the situation on the grassland. "Farewell, the Northern Ming army can't be around for too long, maybe it won't be long, young master, I will leave here for a while, do you know what to do?"

Facing this interview, Shebie nodded heavily and said, "Sixth Young Master, thank you for entrusting me with such a heavy responsibility, and I will definitely not disappoint your high expectations. I have considered the next thing, mainly It's three o'clock, please ask the Sixth Young Master to make corrections."

"Let's talk about it." Seeing that she had already prepared for it, Yang Chendong nodded in satisfaction. The reason why this person's position was promoted so quickly was because of his overall view.Now it seems that along the way, I have not let myself down.

Shebie began to express his own opinions. The first point is to stabilize Shajing City and Jingzhou City while building here, so that they will not only become the southern barrier of Shicheng City, but also make it a new base for the Five-Star Army. The forefront is also the strongest defense when attacking south.

The second point is how to have a good relationship with the Northern Ming Army.That is, not too far and not too close, that is, not to make a move and make the other party afraid.

The third point is to develop commerce and handicrafts.leave

He pointed out that he had seen some weaving factories built in Shicheng, and he believed that it was entirely possible to move some of them to the two cities of Shajing to continue their development. At the same time, they could take advantage of the natural advantages here to raise a large number of horses and sheep Things, in a word, become self-sufficient as quickly as possible.

"Very good." After listening to Shebie's speech, Yang Chendong gave a lot of encouragement, and then said, "This time, I will move the people in the two cities to Shicheng and Mobei for them. The people are completely trustworthy, they will be very obedient, which is more conducive to your implementation of your plan, I hope that when you come next time, you can see a different appearance of the two cities, no problem."

"I promise to complete the task." Shebie stood up and answered.

"Very well, then you can do things according to the ideas in your heart. If you need anything, your old superior, New First Army Commander Hu Mang, Logistics Division Commander Yang Si, and Shicheng City Lord Yu Mian will do their best to support you. Patting Shebie on the shoulder, Yang Chendong gave him high hopes.

After saying goodbye and leaving, Humang walked into the main tent and sat opposite Yang Chendong.Facing this book boy who has been with him for many years, Yang Chendong has always given his trust, and many important things will be entrusted to this person.This time was no exception, and he entrusted him with the preparation of the new armed forces.

"Humang, to choose an army, you must first choose a general. It is very important who the commander of the new army decides." Without any formalities, Yang Chendong said straight to the point.

"Master, what do you think of Su He?" Hu Mang also came prepared, knowing that the reason why the defense of Shicheng was fought this time, including the fact that the young master could not send the Spike Special Forces Brigade to hold Shi Heng hostage. It was due to the shortage of troops, and I was prepared to support the expansion of the army. Now when I was asked, I called the name of Su He, the commander of the Tatar division.

Humang's answer made Yang Chendong very happy.To say that the new army is powerful, the Tatar Division has played a very important role. As the commander of the army, Hu Mang could not have known this, but he still resolutely pushed the main general out. , the big picture is already there, mature.

"Okay, yes, Humang, you have finally grown up, and the young master can rest assured. That's it, the commander of the new army is tentatively appointed as Su He. You can tell him when the establishment of the new army will be completed, and With enough combat power, I will personally award him the rank of major general. Well, after this battle, the New First Army and the New Second Army also suffered losses, so we can consider making up for it. As for the New First Army, there is no Tatar After the division, you can join other divisions, in short, the combat effectiveness cannot be weakened, all of this will have to be seen when I come to the grassland next time, young master."

"Please rest assured, young master." Humang replied with a firm gaze and a strong voice.In the battle with Wala, the Five-Star Army suffered a lot of losses, especially the cavalry charge under the heavy rain, which made the impact more difficult. When the whole body was soaked, each swing of the knife required more force than usual. It made the battle more difficult. Naturally, the damage in this battle was greater than usual. Fortunately, there were a lot of prisoners. In time, after these people were reformed and joined the Five-Star Army, they would be quite a force.

During the time spent, Yang Chendong continuously received the officers under his command, cheered them up, and promised them a high position at the same time.

It also puts a lot of pressure on them.To put it simply, the cavalry must continue to develop and vigorously develop. He hopes to see these officers perform well, and hopes that they can become real generals like Shebie and Tianhu in the future.

Time passed day by day, the besieged party did not move, and the besieged party did not move either. Everyone seemed to be waiting for something after discussing it.Half a month later, news finally came that Zhu Qiyu, Emperor Zongzong of the Northern Ming Dynasty, announced to the world that in view of the loyalty and bravery of Yang Chendong, the loyal and brave man, this time he and the Northern Ming Army drove away the cavalry coalition forces in Wala and Yili. , wrote and named him the King of Wunan, and his name was announced to the world.

As soon as the edict came out, the entire imperial court of the capital of the Ming Dynasty had everything to say, and some veterans who had retired for many years stood up like mushrooms after a rain, either directly wrote a letter, or several people joined together to jointly sign to see the emperor, etc. , in a word, there is heresy in being loyal and brave, and you can't be king at will.

Not only that, some kings from all over the Zhu family also submitted memorials one after another, to the effect that one must be cautious when conferring kings with different surnames, and to prevent the emperor from being deceived by villains. With a legitimate name, how to stop it in the future.

The memorials placed in front of Zhu Qiyu quickly piled up like a mountain, and the reaction from below made him very headache. Seeing that the emperor was upset by this, Jin Ying came up with an idea whether to invite Xu Youzhen, Grand Master Xu, to see if he was right? What is the countermeasure.

The last time Xu Youzhen said that after the establishment of the bank, it would be owned by the emperor alone, and Jin Ying also got this good job, the relationship between the two quickly warmed up.Now that he has the opportunity, of course he wants to lead the way for his "good friend".

Soon, Xu Youzhen, who was the crown prince Shaofu, a bachelor, and the first rank of the dynasty, came to the palace hall.When asked how to deal with it after saluting, Xu Youzhen asked with a confident look, "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, besides the objection to the kingship of Duke Zhongdan in these memorials, are there some ideas of impeachment?" What about the memorial?"

"This, Aiqing, don't worry about it, I know it well." In order to comfort Xu Youzhen, Zhu Qiyu deliberately put on an appearance that he believes in you very much and you don't need to worry.

This proves that there is, Xu Youzhen knew it clearly, and said, "Your Majesty, I think this is a very normal thing. In the end, the root cause of these actions is just two words-jealousy." .”

"Jealous?" Zhu Qiyu was a little confused after hearing this.

"Yes, it's jealousy. They are jealous that the minister has become a prince, a young master, and a scholar, so they will impeach the minister. Similarly, they are jealous that the loyal and courageous prince was crowned king, and they will impeach him. Speaking of it, it is just a villain's mind." It's just making trouble, and it's not worth paying attention to. You are the emperor, you are originally the darling of heaven, you can speak your mind when you are in trouble, why do you need to look at other people's faces and act? In the end, this country is still yours, who is promoted? It is natural for the emperor to decide who to use. Then again, when the country needs money, why can’t you see them jumping out and giving various opinions? This kind of person only knows how to envy others, and it is useless at critical times , can only fight with words and use pens, and it is not worth being an emperor to value their opinions."

Chapter 999 It's a Mess

Xu Youzhen slandered his colleagues in such a way in public, if it was spread, it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the imperial court.But he still said it, because he was sure that neither Zhu Qiyu nor Jin Ying would say these words, because in a certain way, they were already in the same boat.

These words made Zhu Qiyu silent.Of course he knows that some courtiers are full of Zhihu people. In a prosperous age, they might have some ways of governing the country, but when the country is in crisis, these people are already good enough not to cause trouble, and they are not worthy of his attention.But after all, there are so many excerpts here, he can't just turn a blind eye.It made him dare not go up to the court now, and when he went up to the court, the courtiers below all opposed him, which was very headache.

Zhu Qiyu didn't speak, Xu Youzhen rolled his eyes, and said twice: "Your Majesty, I actually want to divert everyone's attention. There is a better way. I guarantee that no one will mention this matter in the future."

"Oh, I know Xu Aiqing has a solution, so tell me quickly." Zhu Qiyu was waiting for this result, and asked with a happy face.

"Yes, I think it's time to announce the establishment of the Zhu Family Bank and the withholding of the salary."

"What?" Zhu Qiyu was shocked after hearing this, then shook his head violently and said: "A king has become such a mess, if he is throwing out the bank affairs, wouldn't it be even more chaotic? ?”

"No." In order to strengthen Zhu Qiyu's heart, Xu Youzhen took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, instead of doing everything possible to calm the legacy of becoming a king, let's not let the bank matter go, so it depends on how they deal with it. At that time, the emperor is suppressing with all his strength as the son of heaven, and everything is equal."

Xu Youzhen's meaning is already quite obvious, since it's all about chaos, it's better to let out all the things that need to be messed up. In this way, the first chaos is still chaos, and the second chaos is still chaos, it's better than one thing at a time Strong solution.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty Xu is justified." Jin Ying, who was at the side, saw the opportunity coming, and encouraged him aloud.This is actually exactly what he wanted to say.

Naturally, Jin Ying didn't care about the chaos caused by Yang Chendong becoming king.Even if it is possible, he is also opposed to being crowned king, but if he does not give the throne, the 500 million taels of cash will be in his own hands, but he can only back down one step.But now, the matter is in chaos, and he doesn't know how long he will have to wait until the completion of the bank. How can he get his own benefits from it?

In short, Jin Ying's idea is that the sooner the bank is established, the sooner he will make money. As for the chaos and chaos, what does it matter to him?

After Jin Ying made up the knife, Xu Youzhen said three times: "Your Majesty, the matter of the bank is related to the country. The sooner it is established, the sooner it can make money, and the sooner it can solve my Beiming problem. Your Majesty, I want to see To the day when the North and the South are unified, I sincerely hope that this day will come soon."

While talking, Xu Youzhen knelt down on the ground with a plop, her eyes seemed to be filled with tears, and at this moment, she perfectly portrayed the loyal minister's side.

Just now Zhu Qiyu was a little tempted, and now he heard the words of unifying the Great Ming soon, his blood was aroused in his heart, why would he care so much, and immediately said: "

Xu Aiqing's heart is very comforting, that's the case, Jin Ying, is the bank ready? "

"Go back to the emperor, it's ready, just wait for the money to arrive before opening."

"Your Majesty, after I left the palace, I went to the Yang Family Bank and personally escorted 500 million taels of silver to the Zhu Family Bank. By the way, Eunuch Jin, I need you to send Jin Yiwei to escort you along the road." Xu Youzhen said while the iron was hot.

"It's easy to say, easy to say, please rest assured, Mr. Xu." Jin Ying's face immediately blossomed with joy.

The one-on-one answer between the two was heard by Zhu Qiyu, as if the matter had been settled, he knew that he had to make a decision, and immediately said: "That's it, I will announce this matter tomorrow morning. Humph! Let's see who opposes it and how many are loyal ministers."

"The emperor is wise." Xu Youzhen and Jin Ying immediately fell to their knees and called long live.

With the appearance of Xu Youzhen, the target that should have been pointed at Yang Chendong was pointed at Zhu's Bank.When the ministers learned that [-]% of their monthly salary would be deposited in the Zhu Family Bank and would not be taken out until Beiming ruled the world, they immediately fell out.

Yang Chendong was granted the title of King of Wunan, they were mostly jealous, and it was not ruled out that some courtiers worried that Yang Chendong's power would not be lost, and would eventually destroy Daming Jiangshan, so where should he go?It was only then that he made a statement in the memorial one by one. It seemed that if he did not do this, he would not be able to show that he was a loyal minister and good son.But Zhu's Bank is directly related to their interests. This time, no one needs to be reminded. I don't know how many people have taken the initiative to submit a memorial, calling out Zhu's Bank's various undesirable features.

And because the establishment of Zhujia Bank also involved merchant groups.In the future, you will need to deposit a deposit when doing business, and the bigger the business, the more you will deposit. This hits these people's pain points, and they quickly acted, saying that there is no separation between government and business, and it is the same in any era. Under the instigation of these businessmen, more courtiers stood up, tearing up and complaining about all kinds of things wrong with Zhu's bank.

The Northern Ming court has become a mess, and it is afraid that it will not be settled in a few months.In contrast, the grassland situation has become much more harmonious.When the imperial decree that Duke Zhongdan was promoted to King Wunan arrived, Tie Hu and others left Shi Heng's main tent with a smile.

"Master Hou, do you want us to catch up and take them down?" Shi Heng was finally safe, and the soldiers around him also jumped out, showing their loyalty.

"What are you taking? Everyone has left. Besides, their master has now become the King of Wunan, so how can they be so easy to provoke." Shi Heng shook his head, then remembered something important, and said, "Hurry up, send someone to Sanbu Take a look at Lachuan City to see if the five-star army surrounding it has withdrawn."

The scouts were dispatched, and soon the news came back. Sure enough, the five-star army had withdrawn, and the Xuanfu soldiers were no longer trapped, they were already safe.After hearing the news, Shi Heng immediately wrote a memorial, to the effect that through his unremitting efforts, the danger of Sanburachuan City has been resolved, and he is ready to return to the capital with the army.

This trip to Shi Heng can be described as full of twists and turns.First, he was waiting for news near Juyongguan, and then he was threatened when he left Dalu City.From the beginning to the end, he didn't even see the shadow of a friendly army, but the mission was completed. The 20 army was damaged and bombed except for the hundreds of red cannons

In addition, there were almost no casualties, which can be regarded as a smooth return with all beards and tails.
