But in fact, the person who died here as an envoy was ignorant of himself. Of course, Chen Tian would not appear rashly before he understood the attitude of the mercenary, mainly Yang Chendong.Even if the other party didn't kill him and handed him over to Kuang Ye, it would be a result that life would be worse than death.
As soon as the letter arrived at the mercenary barracks, it was quickly delivered to Yang Chendong.When he saw that it was Chen Tian's visit, Yang Chendong just laughed after being stunned.
If you really doze off, someone will give you a pillow!
After talking with Kuang Ye, Yang Chendong guessed that he just wanted some steel and ships, and when he wasn't obsessed with the title of Wang with a different surname, Zhu Qizhen would definitely agree to his request.After all, the affairs of the King Min family have directly affected Nanming's regime.
But how to treat the Min Wang family is also what Yang Chendong has been thinking about in the past few days.
With the strength of the mercenaries and the sufficient weapons just sent by the navy, it is not difficult to deal with them face to face.But if he really did this, once Nanming's pressure was reduced, he would definitely consider dealing with his own problems.
This kind of strategy of swallowing wolves and attracting tigers is not what Yang Chendong wants to see.Just because he needed a large population of Han people, he couldn't turn his back on Nanming.Otherwise, even if he conquered everywhere and laid down a large area of land and territory, who would manage it?Let the aliens go?This is absolutely impossible.
Even if this is the case, it is unwise to be an enemy of Nanming.What he wants is to digest and change slowly, not to kill many Han people to show his military power, or to build a country similar to the Ming Dynasty.If that's the case, it's just a change of dynasty. Once how many years have passed, how is it different from other dynasties in history?
The so-called very big Yang Chendong began to think about how to solve Nanming's crisis without letting them become big, and once his strength rose to a certain level, it was time for him to come back to reap the fruits of victory.
After thinking about it for a few days, I finally got a little idea, that is, if I want to do this, I must get the support of one person, that is King Min.
As I said before, Yang Chendong, who wants to dominate and not just build a country, needs a large population.So how big is this large population?Simply put, the more the merrier.
According to Yang Chendong, it is not only the Ming Dynasty that he wants to conquer in the future, on the contrary, in order to maintain the population growth here, this place may also be the place he wants to conquer later.What he wants is not just Asia, but the whole world. He wants the Han people to stand on top of the world. Wherever you go, you will be extremely noble just because you are a Han. If you are lucky enough to be born in a Han family, He was born like a nobleman.
Is it difficult to do this?
Of course it's difficult.
However, for those arsenals that have all kinds of advanced weapons in Dacang, and Chixian City has given enough conditions and books, and are developing vigorously according to the gourd painting, the production of new weapons will only increase. .As long as the quality of the army is strong enough and the number is large enough, thermal weapons will have an absolute advantage over spears and swords. This means that such an idea is not a dream, and it has a chance to be realized.
The problem is out.
How to rule after laying down so many territories?That would require a large number of Han Chinese to do it.No one, even if you can conquer this place, you will not be able to become the master here, just like when the Japanese entered China.How powerful they were at that time, they were almost a sweeping existence in the whole of Asia, and sometimes they created an example where a few dozen people could manage a county with hundreds of thousands of people.
so what?In the end, if they want to swallow elephants, they have to burst their stomachs. Although there are some other factors in it, it has to be admitted that if their population is large enough, the goal may not be impossible to achieve.
It’s a bit far away. When it comes to coming closer, if you want to have more people, you must not be the enemy of the Han people under the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, you will have a good fight, so you don’t have so many Officials who listen to you and are loyal to your army. Even if the Nanming and Beiming are wiped out, the country will be in chaos. Once the chaos mode is turned on, who knows how many people will die and how many years it will take to bring it back to life? How about the population recovering to 6000 million?
Even if it is 6000 million, Yang Chendong still thinks it is not enough.Fortunately, after the appearance of potatoes, the food problem of the people has been greatly alleviated. Now both the Northern Ming Dynasty and the Southern Ming Dynasty are encouraging births. From this point of view, after more than ten years, the population of the country may decrease. Doubling, the emergence of these new populations may enhance his chances of accomplishing his goals.But the prerequisite is that the population of the Han people cannot be reduced for no reason.
For this reason, Yang Chendong couldn't be an enemy of the Han people of King Min's lineage for no reason, what he really wanted to deal with was the foreign country of Jiaozhi.
Jiaozhi is now an ally of King Min, how to bypass them to deal with Jiaozhi is exactly what Yang Chendong has been thinking about these days.At this time, Chen Tian, one of King Min's important ministers, wants to see him. If this is not an opportunity, what is it?
Thinking of the appearance of the killer Mo Tuo a while ago, he is a Cochin man.In addition, more accurate news has been transmitted from the inner line. Mo Tuo's action was originally the decision of Min Wang's high-level officials. They wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone.
With this accurate inside information, Yang Chendong can guess the main reason for Chen Tian's arrival even with his big toe.
In other words, this is what Yang Chendong is looking forward to, and this is exactly what he wants.
Even so, Yang Chendong just kept Xinxi in his heart, and pretended not to be positive on the surface.Never let your opponent know what you think in your heart. Such a person is a truly qualified and excellent diplomat.
"Master Ben knows about the matter. Let's arrange for him to come over tomorrow. Humang, you go and get in touch with him first." Yang Chendong didn't say much, and in fact he didn't need to say more. As one of the closest people to Humang, he I always know what I think in my heart, and it is necessary to wait for the price.Now that so many steel benefits have been taken from Nanming, it doesn't make sense for King Min to do nothing.
"Don't worry, young master." Humang agreed with a clear look.In the final analysis, his role is to be a vanguard, and at the same time pave the way to elevate the young master's status.
The mercenaries here quickly wrote back, promising that Chen Tian could come to the barracks tomorrow to talk about the matter. They also said that they could come freely, regardless of the reaction of the Nanming army in Gaozhou Prefecture and whether they could understand it.
These words are a bit grand, not for anything else, it can be seen from these things that the relationship between this brave man and Nanming seems not to be very good.
Emperor Zhu Qizhen of the Southern Ming Dynasty was very jealous of Yang Chendong. This was already a public news, but now it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.And Chen Tian who got the answer was naturally very happy. He thought about how to persuade Yang Chendong several times in his heart, and also thought about the unexpected situation he might encounter several times. Early in the morning, he brought a group of men straight to the mercenary barracks.
Miao Jinlong sent people to escort them when they left the camp of the Miao Army, but when they arrived at the foot of Gaozhou Prefecture, they were taken over by mercenaries in camouflage uniforms.
Moreover, General Yu Guang, who was in charge of defending the city, gritted his teeth when he saw this kind of thing being done by the Nanming army on the tower.
As early as last night, Yang Chendong sent someone into the city to inform Kuang Ye, saying that King Min sent someone to have a talk with him, and he agreed, hoping that it would be convenient for them.
Chapter 452 Chen Tian's Lobbying
When this letter was presented in front of him, Kuang Ye knew that he could not refuse.Not to mention that they can't offend the powerful mercenaries now for the sake of Nanming's stability, just say that something happened to Hu Yan and Xue Niangzi in the city a few days ago, and they are responsible.
People don't pursue it because they know that the matter has nothing to do with them.But if he disagrees with the envoy sent by King Min to meet with Yang Chendong, then he can find out about this matter at any time, and at that time, he will just put a label on it and say that you should cooperate with the assassin in the assassination. It's hard to argue.
Face is given to each other.The good thing is that Kuang Ye knows that Yang Chendong still has a Yangjiazhuang in Beiming, and Jianning and Fourth Brother Yang are there in Nanming. He agreed to the request.
Kuang Ye agreed, which is why Yu Guangyan didn't dare to act rashly when he saw all this happening right under his nose.
The mercenaries who came here were just soldiers from a squad. They just led Chen Tian and hundreds of his subordinates past the city. To be honest, Chen Tian felt a little nervous at this moment.
Originally, I thought that the mercenaries would send hundreds, or even thousands of people to escort me no matter what.But there are only ten people, and they still have to walk under the city controlled by the Nanming army. This is not just a safety issue, but a kind of provocation. Will the Nanming army really do something in a fit of anger?If that's the case, wouldn't his own life be over?
With such nervousness, a group of people passed the Gaozhou City smoothly. At the moment when Chen Tian saw the city being left behind, suddenly there was a gust of cool wind from the back of his head. He just remembered at this moment, I didn't walk out of the ghost gate, but just stepped here.
For example, if there is no agreement with Yang Chendong this time, how will he return from the mercenary barracks to the Miao family barracks?Without the escort of mercenaries, how can one's own safety be guaranteed?Only at this moment did he feel afraid.
In the barracks of the mercenaries, the Humang represented that Yang Chendong met Chen Tian first, but he was entertained with good wine and good food, fulfilling the friendship of a landlord.
For coming here and not being able to meet Yang Chendong in the first place, this was somewhat beyond Chen Tian's expectation.The good thing is that he has also made preparations for this point. After investigating Yang Chendong's affairs, he knew who Humang was and the importance of his position. He started to carry two large boxes of gold and placed them in front of Humang.
One box is 1000 taels, and two boxes are 2000 taels of gold.According to the general law at that time, if it was converted from one to eight, it would be 6000 taels of silver.
With so much money, for ordinary people, it would be enough to eat and drink in a lifetime, and this was just a gift from Chen Tian.He has already explained to Humang that as long as he can see Mr. Zhongdan, he will be thanked more than ten times more than before.
As soon as he made a move, he would get 10,000+ taels of silver, and he was not given to the right owner. From this point of view, Chen Tian was full of sincerity.Humang also stared at the money in front of him with a greedy expression, "I can help you to see what happened to my Duke, but do you know that Yingzong has promised to give the unused shipyard of Songjiang Mansion to our Duke?" Lord? In contrast, if it’s just some gold and silver, I’m afraid it’s not enough sincerity!”
Don't be afraid to ask, but be afraid to say nothing.There was excitement in Chen Tian's eyes, "Of course we won't just take out this little thing. In order to show the sincerity of our Min King's friendship, there are already [-] carts of steel being sent here. will arrive."
"Five hundred cars?" Humang pretended to be very surprised, and then nodded. It is a bit sincere to say that, well, then I will try to give you a few words of kindness. "Humang was only willing to help because of Yinzi's sake.
"Thank you very much, General Tiger. If you can achieve your goal this time, Chen Tian will also thank you very much."
"Haha, it's easy to talk about." Hu Mang with a "greedy" face poured a glass of wine into his stomach as he spoke.
And that very night, Chen Tian was allowed to meet Yang Chendong, the extremely young but actually extremely powerful Da Ming Zhongdangong.
"Young Chen Tian has met Mr. Zhongdan." After the meeting, Chen Tian, who had a hint of surprise in his eyes, bowed his hands with fists folded, very respectful.
At this time, Yang Chendong is only 21 years old, but after so much experience, he already has the demeanor of a superior person, and even if he wants to, he can show the arrogance of a superior person at any time. .
"You are Chen Tian?" Yang Chendong, who was seated at the top of the tent, stared at the visitor, and then said very casually: "I heard from Humang that you are very good at doing things, and you still want to give gifts to your country? Because you King Min is afraid of your country’s Duke?"
Unlike the calmness he had when he was with Leng Feng, Yang Chendong showed a very arrogant and conceited side at this moment.
Don't look at Chen Tian's low eyebrows and pleasing eyes at this time, in fact, he is quietly observing Yang Chendong.
He also had a certain amount of data before, and even read a lot of information, but Chen Tian believed in everything he saw with his own eyes.Although the information said that the loyal and courageous public has courage and talent, Chen Tian always thought that this person was too young. Even if he is a young man, it is inevitable that he will lose his temper when things happen, especially when he has won successive victories. It is also inevitable.
Now it seems that it is so.Seeing that Yang Chendong just glanced at him and ignored him, with his nostrils popping into the sky, not only did he not feel humiliated, on the contrary he was very happy.It is good to have a weakness, as long as you can grasp it, it will be easy to deal with it.
