Come to Daming with military supplies

The Sixth Young Master actually entered the city at such a critical time. When the news spread throughout the city, the common people became agitated and rushed straight to the yamen regardless of everything. They all wanted to see how this would bring them completely different Life, what the young people of happiness and hope look like, they want to take a closer look at their benefactor, their savior.

Therefore, the people outside the yamen are getting more and more surrounded. In less than half an hour, the number of people has exceeded [-]. Just relying on [-] black dragon guards can no longer control the situation, so Yang Er sent people to find Lu. Xiao Yining, the commander of the fifth division, and Yi Jie, the commander of the second regiment, arrived with [-] soldiers from the second regiment, and only then were they able to maintain law and order.

Yang Chendong who was sitting in the courtyard also felt the enthusiasm of the people, but he also saw the crisis.So many people gather here, it is easy to cause mass incidents. Once someone is squeezed, the consequences will be unimaginable. At that moment, he said to Ding Dingwei: "Go and talk to the people, they can send some representatives, I will I will meet them. But this courtyard is so big, it is impossible to accommodate too many people, and most people should go to rest immediately. I will stay in Suweng City for a while, and I will have many opportunities to meet you."

"Yes, Master Six." Ding Dingwei agreed and turned to make arrangements.Yang Chendong took this opportunity to summon Xiao Yining, the commander of the fifth division, and asked him about the city defense.

"Master Six, the leader of the regiment, Dang Liming, has already boarded the tower and took over the defense of the city. With the cooperation of General Dahn and [-] Cambodian soldiers, there will be no problems. Once a war breaks out, the three soldiers under the city will The fourth regiment can enter the battlefield at any time, please rest assured." Xiao Yining said this with confidence.

"Okay, the next step is to work hard for the soldiers." Yang Chendong nodded, he knew very well that once the Siamese army knew that he was in the city of Su Weng

In other words, I am afraid that the attack will be extremely crazy, and a tough battle is inevitable.

"Please rest assured, Sixth Young Master, with our Fifth Division Lu, we will never let any enemy climb the tower and enter the city." Xiao Yining stood at attention, extremely confident.

"I believe in the soldiers." Yang Chendong's eyes showed appreciation. Leng Feng soldiers should have such awareness and self-confidence. No matter what difficulties they face, they must first be confident.If you don't even have self-confidence, then you have already lost half.

Xiao Yining left to arrange the city defense, and Ding Dingwei came back quickly. This time, there were more than 20 people's representatives with him.Under their persuasion, the other people had retreated, Yang Chendong smiled and asked everyone to sit down in the courtyard, and asked Yang Er and the others to make hot tea and deliver it to everyone.

Everyone got up one by one to express their thanks and sat down again. At this moment, Yang Chendong's voice came out, "How is it? It has been very hard to defend the city for a while. I really don't know how you, who only have a thousand soldiers, have persisted until now. Woolen cloth?"

When this question was mentioned, Ding Dingwei immediately put down the teacup in his hand, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and shouted loudly: "Master Six, I'm guilty, I'm guilty."

"Hey, don't kneel, get up and talk." Yang Chendong gestured to Yang Er who was at the side, and Yang Er stepped forward to help Ding Dingwei who was kneeling on the ground.

Ding Dingwei, who was being supported up, still did not dare to lift his head and said: "Sixth young master, it was the minister who made his own decision and mobilized the common people. At the same time, he opened all the warehouses in the city and... They were all taken out together, saying that they would be distributed to the people who had made meritorious deeds in defending the city, and then everyone was mobilized. It's just that the war was too fierce, and the previous money was no longer enough, and the minister... had to issue some IOUs to them."

"Sixth Young Master, this time Su Wengcheng can be defended until today, thanks to the full support of the people. You can punish me, but please cash all the IOUs in their hands to make it complete. I am guilty, I am guilty." Said As he spoke, Ding Dingwei continued to kowtow to the ground.Fortunately, Yang Er was prepared to support him again.

"There is such a thing?" Yang Chendong was also surprised.He thought that Ding Dingwei must have used some means to get the people to help defend the city, but he never thought that he was so courageous that he even dared to touch the money in the Yang Family Bank.

If someone dared to make such an idea in normal times, he would naturally be punished with a felony, and it is even possible to be sentenced to death.But in wartime, in order to achieve the goal, all rules can be broken.Otherwise, would the money in the Yang Family Bank be spared if the Siamese army entered the city?

Yang Chendong, who had already made up his mind, didn't express his opinion immediately, but asked after pondering for a moment, "But I don't know how much money Vice Governor Ding promised, and how much money did he send out?"

"Six young masters, I have done statistics, and the amount of silver issued is about 8 taels, and the amount of IOUs issued is 5 taels, totaling 13 million taels. I have..." Ding Dingwei knelt down to admit his mistake after finishing speaking.

"Okay, Deputy Governor Ding, you are not wrong, let alone guilty. Everything is expedient, I can understand that the money you mentioned has already been issued

I will not send people to recover those that have not been released, and once the siege of Suweng City is lifted, I will also send people to pay according to the truth. Afraid that Ding Dingwei would continue to yell to admit his mistakes and continue to kowtow, Yang Chendong simply expressed his opinions and opinions.

"Ah!" Ding Dingwei, who was thinking of kneeling, raised his head involuntarily when he heard this, and looked at Yang Chendong in surprise, as if he didn't hear clearly.

"You heard me right. I told you, you did the right thing. Compared to the loss of 13 taels of silver, you can keep Suweng City intact, keep the safety of hundreds of thousands of people here, and keep some basic facilities here. Being destroyed, this is a matter of earning money without losing money, why should I blame you? You have merit." Yang Chendong said with a big laugh.

this time.It can be said that Ding Dingwei heard it clearly, and tears flowed out again.He suddenly thought of the former Phnom Penh King Boromo, and thought that when the Phnom Penh Dynasty was in danger, this man was still guarding the treasury and refused to pay a tael of silver, which eventually led to a great defeat and the country's subjugation.What's ridiculous is that all the money he took care of was eventually acquired by the Five Star Army, but they kept all of it and used it to develop Cambodia Province, and they didn't take a cent at all.

Now after learning about the situation in the city, there is no question or criticism, and some encouragement and praise. These two kinds of contrasts are so different. It is no wonder that the Five-Star Army can have such a scale, but the Phnom Penh Dynasty is destined to become a thing of the past. style. "The Sixth Young Master is mighty, the Sixth Young Master is mighty!"

"The sixth young master is mighty." More than 20 people's representatives sitting on the side also said aloud at the same time.They came here to represent hundreds of thousands of people in the city. When they came here, the first thing they cared about was whether Ding Dingwei's previous promise would be accepted in the eyes of the sixth young master.

Now, after hearing Yang Chendong's words with their own ears, each of them was finally relieved, and said loudly and gratefully.

"Quick, everyone, please get up." Yang Chendong smiled, and together with Yang Erhe and Cong Heilongwei helped the people up one by one, and after they got off together, he continued to speak, "Ding The words of the vice-governor represent the current Cambodian provincial government, and what they say naturally counts. But in my opinion, this is far from enough."

"Not enough?" Everyone was confused by Yang Chendong's words.

"Yes, it's far from enough. This time Suweng City has experienced the war, and it's June now. The food planted by the people has been destroyed. There must be no harvest at the end of the year. How can the people live like this? In the long run, at the end of this year, more relief food will be transferred from other cities and distributed to the people for free on a per capita basis. Not only that, but all the fees for the food planted in the next year and the year after will be exempted, and only half of it will be paid in the year after. After three years, the three-transaction tax according to the normal harvest will be."

Yang Chendong said with a firm tone.If you want the people to settle down and use them for yourself, you must worry about what they are anxious about, and think about what they think. Only in this way can the world be stable and the country prosper.

"This...Long live the Sixth Young Master." Ding Dingwei's expression was lost for a while, and after he completely understood the meaning of Yang Chendong's words, he knelt down on the ground again and shouted long live.

Chapter 26 Tongsi's Madness

More than 20 people in the surrounding area also knelt down and shouted long live. It can be seen that this time they were shouting with excitement from the bottom of their hearts.

"Okay, let's all get up. In fact, not only in the field of agriculture, but also in business. For example, people who make woodcarving, and people who make Croma (Cambodian national costume, also known as water cloth) can be tax-free for two years." In the second year and the third year, only half of the commercial tax will be paid. In a word, we must find a way to let the people live a stable and satisfactory life after the war. Well, in this regard, Deputy Governor Ding is an expert , you can write an application, and I will look back, if there is no problem, I will approve it."

"Yes, yes, I'll write when I get back." Ding Dingwei said excitedly.The ancients said that after a great war there must be a great epidemic.And this epidemic does not only refer to the plague of easy births, but also the epidemic of people's hearts. Everything has to start again, even eating is a problem, and various problems will inevitably follow.

But with Yang Chendong's concerns and various feasible policies, everything is fine.With a good policy, after the people can live a stable and happy life again, even if some people want to rebel, they will not follow them.

Chatting with Ding Dingwei and the people lasted all night. When it was dawn, Ding Dingwei was exhausted after his excitement passed, and sleepiness appeared in his eyes several times. Yang Chendong waved his hand and arranged for someone to send him to rest.The people's representatives left with great gratitude, and they wanted to convey the words of the Sixth Young Master to all the people.But Yang Chendong turned around and went up the gate tower. He needed to make an appearance to give the other party more stimulation.

In the Siamese army camp outside Suweng City, General Tong Si was angrily yelling at a group of generals under his command.Last night, someone even stole the camp.There were not many dead soldiers, only a few hundred, but the terrible thing is that they didn't even know who did it, which is really annoying.

After being beaten, he didn't even recognize who the murderer was. This kind of performance is too incompetent.And when he was still cursing in the big tent, someone outside reported that suddenly there was a military flag with King Wunan written on the top of Su Weng City, and the general in front asked General Tong Si to take a look.

"King Wunan?" Tong Si was stunned for a moment when he heard the name, but soon he figured out what the flag represented, and then sneered, "Hehe, I've been guarding it for such a long time, and I'm still fighting With this name, are you trying to scare someone? Come on, let's go and see together and see what tricks they are going to play again?"

Tongsi has already thought that the king of Wunan is Yang Chendong, but he did not connect the two together. In his opinion, it is true that Su Wengcheng has been unable to attack for a long time, but it is a besieged city after all. How could there be Yang Chendong here? Woolen cloth?Someone must want to pull the banner and pull the tiger's skin.

With a proud face, a picture of Tong Si who pierced through everything came to the city of Su Weng. When he raised his eyes indifferently and looked up, he saw a man wearing a golden cloak standing on the tower.

As the second-rank general of Siam, Tongsi has never met real Yang Chendong.But I have seen his portrait before, looking carefully at this moment, isn't this person very similar to the one in the portrait?Could it be that this person is really the King of Wunan?A line of generals in armor appeared below the city, and this was the arrival of the rightful lord. Yang Chendong on the city suddenly shouted loudly, "I bring King Wunan of Ming Dynasty, who is the man under the city? Why are you against this king? Do you want to live?" Yet?"

The visitor identified himself, and Tong Si screamed in surprise. He suddenly thought that there was a scout in the army who seemed to have seen Yang Chendong, so he said to the soldiers around him, "Go to the scout camp and ask, who has seen Yang Chendong?" The real King Wunan, let him come here immediately."

After the arrangement, Tongsi raised his head again, looked at Yang Chendong on the tower, and shouted, "If you say you are the King of Wunan, you are the King of Wunan. I think you are clearly pretending. Besides, when Su Weng City was the territory of Daming Now, this is clearly the old land of the Phnom Penh Dynasty. This time, we have received a request from the descendants of the Phnom Penh Royal Family to help them recover their lost land. If you are sensible, you may be able to avoid death if you leave the city early and surrender."

"Presumptuous. The former king of Phnom Penh, Boromo, is sitting here as a guest. He took the initiative to give this place to Daming. Who are the descendants of the royal family you mentioned? Dare to pull it out and see if it is." Regarding this excuse, Yang Chendong Naturally, he had already thought of a way to deal with it.

And within a while, the guards had already brought two scouts to the front of the formation. These two were lucky enough to be among the common people and met Yang Chendong, so they were brought up.When they understood General Tongsi's meaning and looked up, they all involuntarily widened their eyes, then nodded and said, "This man is the leader of the five-star army, King Wunan, that's right."

After getting the confirmed news, Tongsi was very excited.Unexpectedly, the besieged city can actually surround a Wunan King, so if this person is captured alive, what kind of credit will it be?At this moment he was very excited.Thinking about the incident of stealing the camp last night, he must have a close relationship with the King of Wunan, but he still couldn't figure it out, knowing why Su Weng City was heavily surrounded, why did he still stay here Woolen cloth?Could it be that the reason why Su Wengcheng could not be attacked for a long time was because of this person?Could it be that the purpose of stealing the camp last night was to rescue him?

All kinds of thoughts popped up in my mind.Tong Si's face was red and white at times, not because of anger, but because of excitement and excitement.

Not only him, but the other generals around him were also very excited when they learned that the man wearing the golden cloak was the country's biggest opponent, King Wunan.Several generals couldn't help but volunteered and said, "General, please give me an order. We will definitely go all out to capture the city, and take down this King of Wunan and present it to His Majesty."

"Yes, General, we are also willing to take the initiative to ask for a fight."

The shouts were endless, and Tong Si, who was also excited, knew that no matter who took down Wunan King, he would be the one who would be rewarded heavily, so he nodded and agreed immediately, "Okay, sure, after we go back in a while, we will have a good time." Discuss how to attack the city."

Yang Chendong's eyesight is very good, and Tongsi and the people around him are all in his eyes. He knows that it's time to add fire, so he shouted loudly, "This king, in the name of King Wunan, asks you to withdraw immediately. , so Siam and I are still good friends, otherwise, once this matter is over, it will be time to conquer Siam, dare you ask if you can bear such a responsibility?"

This sounded like a threat, but no matter what, it gave off a sense of sternness.It was as if Yang Chendong was no longer able to defend the city, so he had to be realistic and wanted to use his identity to suppress people and force them to retreat.

To Yang Chendong's threatening words, Tong Si didn't give any answer, he turned around and left, now his heart is full of all kinds of benefits after capturing Yang Chendong, as for the others, they have all been abandoned in the back of his mind.

Tong Si and the others retreated temporarily, and Yang Chendong also turned around and went down the tower.Yang Er, who was following him, was a little confused, hesitant to speak.

"Okay, I know what you're going to say. The young master's appearance this time is to attract the other party's attention. Only in this way will Phnom Penh City be safer. Only in this way will the nearby cities be spared Lives are in charcoal."

Yang Chendong explained his behavior of showing up. In fact, he really thought so in his heart.Facing the sudden attack of the Siamese army, Cambodia Province was indeed greatly damaged.He didn't show up here before, so it was natural that he was powerless, but now that he came, this situation must be ended.It's just a pity that the troops in hand are limited, so they can only use themselves as bait to attract the appearance of the enemy.

The reason is clear, Yang Er showed a look of dismay, then seemed to think of something, and said anxiously: "Master, if this is the case, Su Wengcheng is really in danger?"
