Come to Daming with military supplies

Page 291

The Japanese emperor agreed to buy the artillery and prepared a full 1000 million taels of silver for this purpose.The news had already been sent to him. After reading it, Yang Chendong only instructed that everything should be done according to the plan, and that Master Kaohsiung would handle it in detail.Throwing this piece of information aside.

Compared with Japan, which is far away at sea, Yang Chendong is more concerned about the situation in front of him now, and more concerned about whether he can be crowned king.

Originally, Yang Chendong didn't have such extravagant hopes, all he thought about was how to use war to expand his military strength and get more things he needed.After all, if Leng Feng wants to develop, he can't do without a sufficient population base. He doesn't want to use outsiders, and he believes in the Han nationality. He can only pin his ideas on Daming.

Facts have also proved that war is indeed the best way to test the strength of the army, and it is also the best opportunity to expand the army.Just killing a motley bandit army with only 10,000+ people got so many soldiers and silver taels, which made Yang Chendong see the benefits that war can bring to him.But I never thought that the critical situation in Yunnan caused Yingzong Qizhen to ignore the laws of his ancestors and gave Xiping Hou the title of Xiping King.

But don't underestimate this king with a different surname.Once you have the status of a prince, you can open a mansion by yourself, and you can also have your own army on the bright side. Although the number cannot exceed [-], for Yang Chendong, once he has such power, he is afraid that he will be the only one in the world. There are not many places you can't go to.

There are too many benefits to becoming a prince, so I won't list them one by one, which made Yang Chendong very excited.But he also knew that even though Mu Bin could be crowned king with a different surname, it was just a special event in a special period, and it didn't say hereditary, so it was doomed that this king of Xiping would only be effective on Mu Bin, otherwise, His descendants will not enjoy such treatment.

Even Mu Bin has left so many backers for becoming king, if he wants to become king himself, it will be even more difficult.Not to mention that Zhu Qizhen has always been afraid of himself.In this regard, brothers Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu have the same attitude.

But there are examples before, even if it is difficult, Yang Chendong will fight for it.For him, this is definitely an opportunity.In the words of the common people, after passing this village, I am afraid that this shop will disappear.

With a goal in mind, when Kuang Ye came to visit him, he mentioned that he was very envious of the king, and at the same time he looked seriously ill, in order to add a little bit to the possibility of this matter.

Of course, if you really want to let Zhu Qizhen let go, just doing these things is not enough.It is also necessary to make the opponent feel more threatening. In other words, the more complicated the situation on the battlefield and the more dangerous Nanming is, the higher the success of this matter will be.

So during this period of time, Yang Chendong has been paying attention to the movement of the King Min's family, and in what can be called day and night anticipation, the other party finally made a move.

The Miao people were the first to make noise.

This time, the King Min's lineage was able to defeat the Ming army, and they made rapid progress. The successive offensives were completely inseparable from the Miao people's help.It was precisely because of the Miao family's daring to fight, dare to kill, and dare to rush, and their momentum was so great, that the Nanming army retreated steadily, so that they lost a lot of territory and land in a very short period of time.

At that time, there was no saying that the 56 ethnic groups belonged to one family.As ethnic minorities, they are often restricted from the time of birth, and their origins doom them not to achieve much in their lives, like what is high above the temple, sorry, that is something that should not even be thought about.

As a result, one generation is not as good as the previous generation, and coupled with the harsh growing environment, the life of the Miao people is getting worse day by day.Until Zhu Qizhen built Nanming in Nanjing, in order to complete the purpose of recuperation faster, the tax was increased, which made the Miao people who were not living well in the first place quickly under the burden, and their lives became dire.

Where there is oppression, there will be resistance!

Just when the Miao family was in utter misery, the lobbyist of King Min came and promised many benefits to move the hearts of some leaders of the Miao family.Since then, when they raised their troops, when they left their hometown, left Yunnan and came all the way to Guangdong, they finally let them know what prosperity is. In comparison, it seems that their lives were too poor before.

Sudden wealth often makes a person dizzy and change his behavior.Today's Miao army is like this. After they captured some cities without much effort, and then grabbed a lot of good things, the greed in their hearts could no longer be suppressed, and they gradually fell in love with this big city. The feeling of rushing.

The main force of the King Min family is still digesting the city they have obtained, while consolidating their own strength by conscripting troops; when the Jiaozhi army also captured the city, they did not forget to transfer good things and some people to their own country; only the Miao army , They don't care about any city at all, and they haven't thought about aspiring to become the world's top. They are more interested in the benefits in front of them.

Whether it is short-sighted or lack of ambition, in short, they are the most vicious in attacking the city.Often after capturing a city, they would scramble for several days in a row, and then they would leave here, rushing forward to a new goal, and continue the pace of siege.

While robbing and walking, on the contrary, the Miao family with the smallest number produced the greatest destructive power. In less than a month, they destroyed more than a dozen cities and state capitals. The number of people has reached more than one million.

The Miao army divided into several branches is like a swarm of locusts. Wherever they go, no crops grow and the people are displaced.

It is said that the south of Ming Dynasty has not experienced any wars for many years, and the people are still rich.It would not be a difficult task for other troops to come here to raise rations, but the bad thing is that it was the Miao people who came here.Not only did they rob food, money, and women, but they also set fire to the food they couldn't eat, as if to vent the hardship they had lived in these years.

This kind of practice naturally caused more and more victims in the three provinces of Yunnan, Guangxi and Guangdong.So much so that later, when many common people knew what Miao Jun had done, they left their homes with their families before they could call.

Although people are unwilling to leave their hometowns where they have lived for a long time, more people choose to run away than to be able to live.Only some old people, who are old and have bad legs and feet, choose to stay, and they look like they are going to die in their hometown.

The disaster of the Miao army was not crushed by the catastrophe of the collapse of the earth. A consensus was quickly reached on this point, and it was blatantly stated in the main hall of the Nanming court.

Wang Zuo and other senior ministers also appealed to the emperor one after another, requesting to send troops to deal with these Miao troops, so as to save the Li people from the fire and water.

Some of these people are sincere for the country, and some are because their ancestral home is in these three provinces. Some of them are unlucky officials whose hometowns have been occupied, and the good land in their homes has been occupied by the Miao army. The emperor can send troops to encircle and suppress them, and help them regain everything they lost.

There were more and more copies of the petition for soldiers, covering the entire dragon case, and Zhu Qizhen's face became more and more ugly.

How could he not want to send troops to solve the rebellion?But first of all, he must have such strength.

Daming, especially in the south, has not seen weapons for a long time. Judging from the results of Kuang Ye Shangshu’s previous inspections, after years of recuperation, some Nanming guards have some available soldiers, but they have their mission, to guard their own The stability of the site is a heavy responsibility.

If these troops are deployed now, they will be concentrated to deal with King Min's rebellion.Fewer people have no effect on the overall situation. If there are too many people, we fear that the rear will be empty, and new rebellions will appear. If that is the case, there will be changes in the southwest and troubles in the southeast, and the Nanming regime will really be in jeopardy.

To demolish the east wall to make up for the west wall, if the west wall collapses because of this, no matter how you look at it, the gain outweighs the loss.The problem at hand cannot be solved without drawing troops. Although the Ministry of War has started recruiting troops now, it will always take a certain amount of time. It was at this time that Kuang Ye’s second [-]-mile urgent battle report was sent to Zhu Qi The desk of the town.

This battle report, after explaining Wei Guang's self-slaying in Jin Yiwei's incident yesterday, it focuses on Yang Chendong's poisoning disease. It is important to send troops to learn from Mu Bin to become king.

"Waste, a bunch of waste." In the Jinluan Hall, Zhu Qizhen, who had read the memorial, raised his hand and hurriedly threw the [-] miles away at the feet of Cao Jixiang, the chief eunuch who was waiting for him.

"The emperor calm down, take care of the dragon's body." Cao Jixiang didn't know what happened, so he knelt down on the ground in a frightened manner.

"Quiet your anger, calm your anger, you know every day to calm me down, but you have to do something that makes me happy. That Wei Guang, he didn't kill him, but he admitted everything that caused me to be accused of being a hero who wanted to kill Don't talk about it, now people want the throne from me, tell me, give it or not." Zhu Qizhen with a livid face growled and glared at Cao Jixiang, expressing his dissatisfaction in his heart.

Cao Jixiang's face turned pale at this moment, "Your Majesty, but Yang Chendong wants to be king?"

"Who else but him?" Zhu Qizhen tacitly acknowledged this fact in his voice.

"That won't work." Cao Jixiang heard this, his eyeballs kept rolling, and he spoke.

Hearing Cao Jixiang yelling no, Zhu Qizhen became interested, "Aiqing said no, what's the reason?"

Kneeling on the ground, Cao Jixiang crawled forward quickly with both hands and feet, and came to the feet of Zhu Qizhen. He raised his head and said as if he was loyal to the country: "Your Majesty, you can't be king with a different surname. The rules set by the ancestors. King Xiping is already an exception, but the facts have proved that it is not very useful to be named kings with different surnames. Besides, if anyone wants it, the world will be in chaos. Once the world is peaceful On that day, how to treat them, we must be afraid that the tail will not be lost."

Chapter 428 The Arrival of the Miao Army

Cao Jixiang's voice was still echoing in Zhu Qizhen's ears, but the unlucky Emperor Yingzong didn't say anything.

From the moment Mubin became King Xiping, he knew that some things had escaped his control.Once you are crowned king, you will have your own palace and even your own guards. Although the number cannot be too many, but the emperor is far away, who knows that under the superficial obedience, there is not a restless heart secretly. Woolen cloth?Especially for the king who was crowned king by battle, this kind of king who was killed from the sea of ​​corpses and blood has more concrete military strength that cannot be underestimated.

It's just that if they don't become kings, how can they do things with all their heart?Xiping Hou Mubin is already the boss of Yunnan, he has nothing to seal, nothing to reward, if he wants to use him as a bystander, there is no other way but this trick, and he can't do it like this For that.

Although the effect of the matter was not very good, in any case, with Mu Bin watching from behind, it also mobilized a lot of energy from the King Min's family, preventing them from attacking the southern hinterland with all their strength.

A throne is only used as a restraint, Zhu Qizhen is a little dissatisfied in his heart, but what can he do?It is true that he is the emperor, it is true that he is the son of heaven, but if he does not have enough strength, how many people can listen to what he says?

To the emperor, conferring the king for the sake of war is tantamount to distributing part of the power in his hands, which may be regarded as a shameful expression.At least none of his ancestors did such a thing, but it must be better than the moment when he was really forced to perish.

If he persisted for the sake of face and finally let King Min's family come to Nanjing, at that time, he would really be a sinner of the Zhu family, and he would have no face to meet his ancestors.

Thinking of how corrupt and difficult the current situation is, Zhu Qizhen was furious, and began to seriously consider what Kuang Ye said about Yang Chendong's proposal. "Ai Qing, how is Mr. Zhongdan's health? Also, is there any clue about the matter that asked you to find a way to contact the mercenaries?"

As soon as these things were mentioned, Cao Jixiang's face became very ugly.Originally clamoring that he could not be crowned king, he quickly lowered his head and said: "The emperor calms down, the minister is incompetent."

No wonder Cao Jixiang said that, no matter whether Yang Chendong or the mercenary, Jin Yiwei has made no progress for such a long time.

Needless to say, the mercenaries, under the perfect military discipline, and the soldiers who can obtain the qualification to go out from Chixian City, have been seriously tested in terms of loyalty, and they don't run alone, outsiders want to know Their background is even more difficult.Even if Jin Yiwei seems to be everywhere, facing an army with such military discipline, there is nowhere to start, and it is difficult to achieve any results.

As for Yang Chendong's place, the defense is so strict that even the auxiliary soldiers can't get close to it. Only the elite Leng Feng who has experienced many tests are qualified to guard it, not to mention the elite of the first and second guards. Exist?Under such heavy protection, it is even more difficult to ascertain Yang Chendong's condition.Jin Yiwei sent a lot of people, but most of them returned without success. On the contrary, many of them ended up missing.

Cao Jixiang expressed his helpless attitude towards Yang Chendong and the mercenaries when he said that the minister was incompetent.This sentence aroused Zhu Qizhen's anger again. "Incompetent, incompetent, don't you know what else to say besides this sentence? Get out, get out."

"Yes, yes." Seeing that Zhu Qizhen was angry again, Cao Jixiang, who knew that being with a king is like a tiger, immediately retreated on his knees.

Zhu Qizhen is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, with one man under one man and one man above ten thousand, he inherited his ancestor's foundation.But at the same time, he also inherited the temper of his ancestors, that is, capricious.Who knows if Cao Jixiang will be severely punished for venting his anger in a fit of anger?

Cao Jixiang retreated from the main hall, and the other eunuchs all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. Not long after, a heavy sigh spread throughout the main hall, and no one could know at this moment, what did the so-called True Dragon Emperor really think? What's your idea.

Gaozhou Prefecture.Kuang Ye, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, sent two urgent secret letters of [-] miles to Emperor Yingzong, but there was no reply from him for a long time.It was at this time that an extremely bad news came.Miao Jinlong, the leader of the Tianzhu village in the Miao army, who was named Qinwuhou by the King of Min, led an army of [-] troops from Nanning Mansion to them.
