Come to Daming with military supplies

Page 309

The other party expressed goodwill, and Yang Chendong nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, as long as King Min's army and Miao army don't make things difficult for us, we won't take the initiative to provoke trouble, so you can rest assured."

This is considered to have reached an agreement agreed by both parties. Based on this one, Chen Tian is not in vain. Thinking about the matter of the call, the king of Min needs to make a decision. Waiting for others, he offered his farewell.

The next time, there was naturally a cold front to send them away from the camp.The difference from when he came here is that the hundreds of boxes of gold and silver brought by Chen Tian were all placed in the mercenary barracks. Back to the argument.

Not long after Chen Tian left, Humang went to Gaozhou Fucheng on behalf of him. He explained the key points of this negotiation to the other party according to the young master's intention.

Kuang Ye is waiting for news in the government office.Ever since Yang Chendong sent someone to inform him that an envoy from King Min would come to talk to him, Kuang Ye couldn't sit still.

Yang Chendong, or how powerful the mercenary army is, has been shocked more than once.Today's Nanming was riddled with wounds. He pressed the gourd and picked up the ladle, and was already facing great difficulties. If the mercenaries were defecting to King Min at this time, Nanming might be in danger.

It was precisely because he knew the seriousness of the matter that he had not rested for a moment during the two days he passed under the city of Chen Tian and arrived at the mercenary barracks.For this matter, Guan Ying, Ma Wei and others tried to persuade them repeatedly.

It seems to say that Yang Chendong's fourth brother is still in Jianning. If Mr. Zhongdan dares to make any changes, he will use his fourth brother to threaten him; Killer, if you kill the envoy in this way, it will be even more difficult for Duke Zhongdan to unite with King Min at that time.

Facing these schemes, when they arrived at Kuang Ye's place, they were rejected one by one in the end.

Now Yang Chendong hasn't made a final decision yet, their hard-fought pressure can easily push him to the opponent's side, if this is the case, they will really be sinners through the ages.Kuang Ye, who is already very old, would not agree to such a risky thing.

Not to mention, based on his understanding of Yang Chendong, this person still has the overall situation in mind, otherwise he would not have sent troops to Guangdong to quell the Yellow Bandit Rebellion without receiving any benefits.It is only because of the disbelief of the emperor Zhu Qizhen that the current situation is not very good.

Thinking of Emperor Zhu Qizhen, Kuang Ye also felt very headache.

Since ancient times, the imperial power is the greatest, this is indisputable.But everything has a premise, that is, the imperial power is consolidated, and the real greatest is when the power is strong.On the contrary, if your own strength is not enough and you still want others to obey you, then the emperor is ignorant.

Not all generals in the world are Yue Fei, he can be called back with twelve gold medals.Who is Yang Chendong? If you look carefully, he has been wandering outside the imperial power. In fact, with the backing of powerful mercenaries, he also has such strength.

In the face of such a strong soldier, the most important thing to do is to find a way to make friends with him and play the emotional card, instead of using power to overwhelm others, and finally get a chicken and an egg to fight.

Of course, although Kuang Ye is also an important minister, he can't represent the emperor in many things, and he just thinks about some things in his heart. If he really wants to blame Zhu Qizhen, he doesn't have such power, let alone The ability to bear the consequences.

While Kuang Ye's mind was still suffering, Humang came.

The closest person to Yang Chendong, his appearance can represent the master in many cases.

In the main hall, Kuang Ye saw Humang, although he said he didn't go out to greet him in person, but with his waiting figure standing in front of the hall, he gave Humang enough face.

Who is Humang?After being trained by Yang Chendong in the past few years, he is no longer the little follower he was back then.That is to say, he was reluctant to leave Yang Chendong, otherwise, he would be sent back to Chixian City casually, and it would be the same level as Leng Song and Kaohsiung, and it is not impossible for him to be even higher than the other party.

Seeing that he came here, Kuang Ye actually stood waiting outside the hall. He was flattered by this kind of treatment. He walked a few steps in a hurry, folded his fists and bent down and said, "Little Humang has seen Master Shangshu."

"Hehe." Kuang Ye stretched out his hand like a corporal to help the bent Humang up, "Brother Hu doesn't need to be so polite, come, please sit in the hall, come and serve tea."

Kuang Ye had an enthusiastic face, and Humang was also very respectful on the surface, but in his heart he really admired the young master even more.

If he didn't have such powerful strength as the young master, why would he treat him with such courtesy.You must know that this is a Minister of the Ministry of War, and he also holds the title of Prince and Taifu. How could he, an ordinary person without any fame, be able to get in touch with him, let alone be so polite.

Humang thought well.During the Ming Dynasty, the hierarchical system was still very strict.An official is an official, and the people are the people. This is an existence that cannot be confused at any time.

Even if the official position is not high, and the other party is a wealthy gentry from the wealthy side, but when it comes to real conversations, the official should be stronger, because he not only represents himself, but behind him is the entire team of scholars. I support it.

Let alone a high-ranking official like Kuang Ye, except for the emperor, there are few people who can show him face.But it is such a high-ranking and powerful person who can go out of the hall to greet him. Just because of this, other common people would have knelt on the ground long ago, with tears of gratitude on their faces, and dead confidantes.

It is an exaggeration to say that he is told to die immediately, and I am afraid that some people will agree to it in one go.

It's just that it's completely different when it's all on Humang's body.Following the young master, especially seeing the development of Chixian City, his vision has long been different from that of ordinary people.Even in his heart, even the emperors of Nanming and Beiming couldn't compare with his young master, let alone just a minister of the Ministry of War, or a weak minister of the Ministry of War who was defeated.

With such confidence, when Humang talked about the matter to Kuang Ye, he always maintained enough autonomy, neither humble nor overbearing, and did not mean to be inferior in the slightest.

Kuang Ye listened carefully to Humang's report. First, when he heard about the [-] people, he seemed a little puzzled. After all, what did the mercenaries want so many Han people to do?But when he heard that Yang Chendong asked King Min to make a public statement to crusade against the Jiaozhi Army, his attention was completely diverted, and he suddenly stood up from his chair, "Did King Min agree?"

"Not yet." Hu Mang shook his head as if he hadn't seen Kuang Ye's excitement, "The emissary Chen Tian said that he would go back and discuss it with King Min. But my young master also said that there will be no problem. of."

Yang Chendong said there would be no problem, and Kuang Ye became more confident.Facts have proved that on such a big issue of right and wrong, a loyal and courageous man will never aim at nothing.And if this is the case, it would be really great. Without the support of the Jiaozhi soldiers, the strength of the Minwang family will naturally be greatly reduced. At least in the short term, there will be no strength to continue going north. This is equivalent to giving Nanming More respite, and once the recruits are fully trained, it will be equivalent to an extra army. At that time, they will go south with all their strength and solve the problem of King Min just around the corner.

Thinking that Nanming had finally seen the dawn of revival, Kuang Ye's spirit and spirit improved a lot, and when he looked at Humang, his tone became firmer, "Then I would like to trouble Brother Hu to pass on to Lord Zhongdan, thank you Everything he has done for Nanming, if this matter is completed, it will be a great achievement, and the old man will report to the emperor to know."

Feeling that Kuang Ye said these words sincerely, Humang clasped his fists and said: "I would like to thank Lord Shangshu for your kind words on my young master's behalf. By the way, my young master also said that once King Min really I issued a letter of appeal, and asked Lord Shangshu to abandon the capital city of Gaozhou for his own safety. Nanming should also take the opportunity to recuperate. Once the training of the new army is completed, then it is time to go south to solve the troubles of King Min. Before that, it is better not to act rashly That's good, otherwise the situation will become very troublesome."

Humang's words were a bit decisive, and even a little unpleasant, to the effect that without the mercenaries here, with Kuang Ye and his men's strength of thousands of people, they would not be able to defend Gaozhou Mansion no matter what. It is indeed a bit contemptuous to look at people, but why is this not reality?

Chapter 455 Auxiliary Soldiers with Bayi

Not to mention the huge gap in military strength between the two sides, Gaozhou Prefecture is already an isolated city. Except for the northeast side and the way home, the other sides are all occupied by King Min and the Miao people. Soldiers and horses, in such a situation, even if they don't attack the city, they can besiege Kuang Ye to death with just a word of siege.

The current situation is like this, but it is not because Humang speaks badly. Kuang Ye, who knows this truth, is not angry. On the contrary, he clasped his fists and thanked: "Thanks to Mr. Zhongdan who is still thinking about this old man, please go back and tell Mr. Zhongdan, old man. I'm not someone who doesn't know how to adapt, I will give up Gaozhou Prefecture and return to Nanjing to train the new army."

Kuang Ye was so frank that he admitted his shortcomings and weaknesses, but Hu Manggao took a look, "Okay, the villain will pass on the words of Master Shang Shu to my young master, so I will leave."

While Humang was talking with Kuang Ye, Yang Chendong called his two team leaders to discuss matters in the tent.

"Regimental Commander Lu, this group has equipped all your auxiliary soldiers with eight-one bars. How are you getting used to it?" After returning a simple and concise military salute, Yang Chendong immediately asked Lu Zhuo, the head of the auxiliary regiment. .

The last time I fought with Miao Bing with cold weapons against cold weapons, the result was naturally a big victory, but my own losses were not small, at least in Yang Chendong's eyes. In order to display his sufficient advantages, he decided to equip all auxiliary soldiers with Bayi automatic rifles on the battlefield, which is commonly known as Bayi bars.

The reason why there is no better equipped Ninth Five-Type is that, on the one hand, there is a difference between Leng Feng and the auxiliary soldiers, and secondly, the more important reason is that with the current strength of the arsenal in Chixian City, the Ninth Five-Type cannot be produced yet. .Even if it is Bayi Bar, it was Yang Chendong who first brought out a large number of finished products for them to understand and disassemble. In addition, he already had the successful experience of his predecessors and had a lot of information, which was found out in Dacang.

It is precisely because of so many advantages that Bayi Bar came into being.What I have to say is that there is no shortage of smart people, especially the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty. In terms of brains, they are no worse than craftsmen of any period. It is only because there is not enough development environment that they naturally changed from what should have been brilliant to ordinary.

Craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty had no social status, and their income was extremely low. It was good enough to fill their stomachs.Even so, some of them thought about inventing and creating something, and it was very practical, which promoted the development of social science.

It is a pity that the person who made such a contribution did not get a reward proportional to his efforts.Some people even make up the things for the experiment by themselves. Once they are successful, the fruit will belong to the Ministry of Industry and the emperor. All he can get is the title of a good craftsman, that is, he will not be able to eat , and cannot be exchanged for silver.

Under such a system without incentives, it is conceivable that no matter how good a craftsman is, he will disappear from everyone in a short time.

But the same person is completely different in Yang Chendong's hands.The arsenal in Chixian City implemented a guaranteed minimum incentive system.

Guarantee refers to the salary you will get after finishing the work in hand in one month, and incentive refers to the matching reward that you will get once you complete the task beyond the limit, or even make other contributions.

In fact, what the craftsmen of this dynasty lack most is strength and brains. Once there is room for them to develop, then everyone will take a deep breath and exert their strength. As a result, many outstanding figures have appeared , They not only received honors, like medals of all levels in their hands, but also a large amount of gold and silver.This kind of reward method of getting both fame and money made all the craftsmen completely burnt up. Under such a big environment, it is natural to get twice the result with half the effort.

Just like an arsenal, the quality of steel determines how many guns can be made.

In the process of tempering steel, with the help of those books provided by Yang Chendong, they can make the steel more solid, not so brittle, and they can also increase the density of the steel, so that there will not be many problems in performance. Small air bubbles, easy to explode.

These basic common senses have been clearly recorded in books. As long as you study them carefully, you will find that many principles are not so difficult to understand, but they lack imagination.Once it is really done, when you look back, you will find that things are so simple.

The arsenal began to expand and improve, and batches of finished Bayi bars were taken out, and sent to the temporary seaside port of Leizhou Prefecture a few days ago, and all the auxiliary soldiers have been replaced with equipment.

Having said that, in the face of Yang Chendong's inquiry, Lu Zhuo, the head of the auxiliary army, looked excited, "Don't worry, Sixth Young Master, most of these people have shot before, and it only takes a short period of time to get back to that place." From this feeling, once on the battlefield, they will definitely be able to give full play to their advantages."

No wonder Lu Zhuo was so excited.In the past, I only saw that Leng Feng could use advanced firearms to kill all directions.Although they are also equipped with enough new bows and crossbows, the effective distance is too short after all, and the advantages are not very obvious.For this matter, the battalion commanders and company commanders below have approached him more than once, and when they talked about when they could be like Leng Feng, go to war with advanced firearms, and kill the enemy in fear?

When faced with this problem in the past, Lu Zhuo always responded with silence, because he didn't know when this day would come.But now it’s all right, the Bayi Gun has been issued, although in terms of functionality it is still a bit worse than the Type [-], especially because it is handmade, the same gun is still slightly different, and soldiers need to be shot one by one. To get familiar with and run in, but compared to the cold weapons in the hands of the enemy, I don't know how much stronger it is.Once the next big battle takes place on the battlefield with these eight-one bars, one can imagine what the ending will be, and it is exciting to think about it.

Lu Zhuo was still standing there with an excited expression on his face, Yang Chendong had already set his sights on Luo Po, the head of Leng Feng's second regiment, "Leng Feng brothers have worked harder these days, teach the auxiliary soldiers how to shoot more , and the question of how to maintain a gun.”

"Also, you must pay close attention to the storage and use of guns. You will never allow any guns to be lost, and you will never allow any unruly things to happen. Once someone has such signs, they will be kicked out of the team immediately. You can't show mercy." His eyes once again fell on Kong Jie and Song Zhe, the political commissars of the regiment, and Yang Chendong spoke in a somewhat stern tone.
