Come to Daming with military supplies

Page 311

Zhu Qizhen didn't know what would happen if the mercenaries fought against the Cochin army.He also doesn't want to make too many predictions, because in his heart, no matter who wins or loses in the final result, the remaining one may become his enemy, and what will happen before the winning side becomes stronger? Solving it became a problem he had to think about.

For this matter, he called Cao Jixiang, the chief eunuch, and Menda, the commander of Jin Yiwei, these two were his absolute confidants.Moreover, their powers are all given by themselves, so there is no need to worry about their betrayal.

To put it bluntly, if these two people leave me, they really are nothing.

The two confidantes were called together in front of Zhu Qizhen, and they began to beat drums in their hearts, thinking about who the emperor wants to deal with and who is he playing tricks on?

No wonder they have such an idea.Being able to be called in front of the emperor at the same time, of course it is not as simple as just calling you to come and talk.

Since he was one of his own, Zhu Qizhen naturally spoke a lot more bluntly, "You all know that Yang Chendong's body has recovered."

As soon as they heard about this matter, the two of them understood in their hearts, and they both nodded, "If you go back to the emperor, I already know about it."

"Well, it's good to know. Next, he will lead his troops to fight against Jiaozhi. This is an opportunity for you." He didn't speak clearly, maybe this is the emperor's usual practice.Never say anything dead, so no matter what happens, they will have great leeway.

Cao Jixiang and Mendana are both good people, otherwise they wouldn't be able to take this position.Hearing what Zhu Qizhen said, he understood what it meant.But the faces of the two also became ugly because of this.

Not for anything else, just because he wanted to deal with, or because it was too difficult to assassinate Yang Chendong.

In the past, it was not that the two of them had worked hard, and even spent a lot of thought on arranging people to approach Yang Chendong.Not to mention anything else, just joining the mercenary is as difficult as ever.

Even though they have dispatched what they consider to be the best of the best, they have even made a lot of preparations for it.But I don't know why, it won't take long, these people will always be found out, and then disappear inexplicably, and they will never be contacted.

Once or twice is okay, but every time it happens, as long as it is not a fool who understands what happened, it means that something happened to the person they sent.

Of course they don't know that with the support of powerful bankers, the means of the Security Bureau are no less than that of Jin Yiwei and Dongchang who have a lot of background.Especially when Zhu Qizhen went to Nanjing to establish Nanming, they began to make arrangements. Even now, there are many people from the Security Bureau among Jinyiwei and Dongchang, just because they hide so well, and they are too slow to attack. Generous, unless some important newspapers are involved, they will not act rashly, so that they will not know the true identity of these people.

Originally, I wanted to break into the opponent's interior, but now I was broken into by others. It is really a kind of irony.

And with what happened to Su Man'er last time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to use the beauty trick if you think about it next time.

Zhu Qizhen saw the faces of the two of them in his eyes, and really wanted to curse angrily, but considering that besides them, he didn't have anyone more powerful to use now, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart and said: "Okay , I’m not asking you to do it now, once the war starts, I don’t know how long it will take? Maybe Yang Chendong will lose to Jiaozhi, but you should also be prepared for other aspects. If you have the opportunity, you must not Let it go, do you understand?"

The words are so straightforward, there is still no reason for the two of them to understand, and they knelt down and said: "Please rest assured, the emperor, we will definitely go all out to solve the emperor's worries and problems."

"It's not about going all out, but there must be a good result." Seeing that the two said it happily, but there was no guarantee at all, Zhu Qizhen intentionally put on a straight face, and the other was not satisfied The way they answer the status.

As far as dealing with other courtiers, no matter Jin Yiwei or Dongchang, they can be said to be easy to catch.Even if you didn't do anything wrong, it's always okay to find something to put on your head. The fact is that this is the way. I don't know how many courtiers have been convicted for no reason.

Yang Chendong is completely different, he is in charge of the army, and he is a very elite one.People never go to the palace to meet the emperor, which makes them unable to find a chance even if they want to make a move.The so-called going all out just now was nothing more than lip service.Now that Zhu Qizhen had pointed it out, the two of them couldn't help but blush.

The good thing is that they are all smart people, especially Cao Jixiang, who can be reused by Zhu Qizhen, and even treat him a little bit like Wang Zhen from back then. If it weren't for his ability and ability, he might not be able to achieve this with only one loyalty. high.

"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion, but I don't know whether it should be said or not." Cao Jixiang knew very well that he had to come up with some dry goods today, otherwise the Emperor would not easily let him go.

"Brother, if you have anything to say, just say it. I'm listening." Seeing that Cao Jixiang had something to say, Zhu Qizhen immediately became interested, and he wanted to see if the other party really had any good ways to deal with it. Yang Chendong.

Cao Jixiang, who was stared at by the emperor, first took a deep breath, and quickly thought about his plan again in his mind. After he thought it was very feasible, he said: "Your Majesty, do you think the threat of King Min to Nanming Big, or is Lord Zhongdan the greater threat to Nanming?"

Hearing Cao Jixiang's question, Zhu Qizhen really wanted to say that the threat was great.But when he thought that such an answer was too rascal, he thought for a while and said: "Of course I think the threat of Duke Zhongdan is even greater. How can you say that King Min is also a member of our Zhu family, and our affairs can be completely closed. to talk about."

"Okay." Cao Jixiang, who wanted this answer, said immediately, "Since this is the case, the minister thinks that you can contact King Min, and we will deal with Duke Zhongdan together. If he fights Jiaozhi, he will Of course there is no need to say anything if he loses. If he wins, he will definitely come back. At that time, we will wait for them to fight for a loss. When they are exhausted, we will suddenly send troops. Your Majesty, what kind of result do you think will happen? Woolen cloth?"

"Hiss!" Zhu Qizhen took a sharp breath after hearing this.

If an army has just finished a battle and is preparing to rest, a stronger army appears and targets them. It seems obvious what the result will be, if this is the case. , the overall situation is determined.

The strategy is good, even Zhu Qizhen felt that it was too risky after hearing it, but considering that everything is for Daming's country, it is understandable even if the means are too drastic.But it was because of this that he had to cooperate with King Min, which made Zhu Qizhen a little unhappy.

Seeing that Zhu Qizhen didn't express his opinion right away, but had a thoughtful look, Cao Jixiang continued: "Your Majesty, King Min and you are just a family matter, Yang Chendong is indeed different, if you can't suppress him now, I'm afraid It will only be more difficult to target him in the future. Once he gains power, who knows if he will be the next Huang Yuliang."

His face was still very serious, but he couldn't help but nod his head first.What Cao Jixiang said was exactly what he was worried about, and it seemed that his companion was very political.

Seeing that Zhu Qizhen didn't interrupt his words, Cao Jixiang knew that he was talking about the emperor's heart, and continued to say proudly: "I think the emperor can see the trouble of being a loyal and brave man, and so can King Min. As long as we remind him a little, he will definitely do something, at that time, he can eliminate the troubles in his confidantes, and at the same time, he can cause King Min to be severely injured in the process of killing, it is really killing two birds with one stone."

"Not bad, not bad." Zhu Qizhen clapped his palms with an encouraging look.But then he shook his head again, "It's just that we can see the truth, but can't we see the rebellion of King Min?"

"Of course I will see it. But it doesn't matter. The advanced firearms in the hands of mercenaries are like a piece of fat. In order to get these, I'm afraid King Min can't stop his greed." Of course Cao Jixiang thought of this, Then he chuckled, thinking that King Min knew that there were tigers in the mountains, but he would also prefer to go to the mountains with tigers.

Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen nodded again, he thought that what he said was indeed reasonable, but the problem came again, if these advanced firearms were really obtained by King Min, wouldn't it be a threat to himself?

After Zhu Qizhen expressed the doubts in his heart, Cao Jixiang smiled treacherously: "Your Majesty can rest assured about this. If King Min can really kill Duke Zhongdan, even if he gets those Firearms are useless, because there is also the leader of the mercenary army. No one will let others kill their benefactor and remain indifferent."

"Oh, hahaha." Zhu Qizhen finally burst out laughing when he heard this.

Cao Jixiang was right, a greedy man like King Min would not let Yang Chendong survive under his nose.

Seeing that Zhu Qizhen finally laughed heartily, Cao Jixiang knew that the matter had been approved, and immediately said while the iron was hot, "In order to lure King Min to the bait, we just need to promise them that when the opportunity arises, King Xiping will be behind you!" Stop Zhongdan Gong's back route and prevent him from escaping. This will not only accomplish great things, but if the mercenaries want revenge in the future, they will only look for them. The emperor only needs to say that he doesn't know anything, and he can leave the matter behind. It's all clean."

Cao Jixiang had thought about everything for himself, Zhu Qizhen had no reason to refuse, and immediately ordered Menda Commander to handle this matter.Find a reliable person to contact King Min, and make preparations for the follow-up.At the same time, it also wrote that a secret decree was sent to the hands of King Xiping in Yunnan, just waiting for Yang Chendong to give a fatal blow when he really defeated the Jiaozhi army and returned to the division.

At the same time, there was movement from King Min.

After Chen Tian returned to the camp, he told the story and thought about it again and again, and King Min agreed.In his eyes, both the mercenaries and the Cochin army are thorns in his eyes and thorns in his flesh. If they can fight, no matter who wins or loses, it will be a good thing.As for the 10 people Yang Chendong asked for, it would be even simpler, just pick some people who don't have enough food and clothing to send them over. When there is a war, refugees can be seen everywhere, only [-] people, it's really not a big deal.

And once you do this, you will turn against the Cochin Army. King Min, who has already occupied most of Yunnan, Guangxi and Guangdong, already has a solid foundation. You only need to give him time to recruit recruits, and after digesting these territories, His strength will rise several times, and at that time, even Nan Ming, who is facing the weak alone, will no longer be afraid.

King Min made a decision, Yingzong also responded, and finally it was Yang Chendong's turn to make a move.

Yang Chendong, who owns a large warehouse, has long set a life goal for himself.

To achieve these goals, the first thing is to have power and influence first, which he did.

The second is to weaken Da Ming's actual strength, and then openly own the power to lead his own troops, which he has also done.

The third step is how to lead the army to fight in all directions, and let Daming acquiesce.For this step, he really spent a lot of effort, and now it seems that he has finally achieved it.When Kuang Ye received the imperial decree from Zhu Qizhen allowing him to lead the army, on the second day there were 5000 cold fronts, 2000 auxiliary soldiers, and [-] temporary auxiliary soldiers, making a total of [-] soldiers. Many people set off from the south of Gaozhou Fucheng, brushing against Miao Jinlong's Miao army camp and marching straight towards Guangxi.

Two days before leaving, Yang Chendong arranged for the two wives to leave with the last batch of troops sending military supplies from Leizhou Prefecture.This time, we fought in Jiaozhi, where the terrain is complex and full of dense forests. In some places, it is a bit laborious to drive a horse-drawn carriage. Fighting in someone else's home field, there is a possibility of falling into danger anytime and anywhere. It is naturally extremely unsuitable to bring a female family member with you. convenient.

But Yang Chendong really thought about where to send them.

Take a closer look, whether it is sent to Yangjiazhuang next to the capital or to Jianning Mansion, it is not a safe place.As long as I don't die, my family members and relatives should be safe, but in the end, there will be no danger under normal circumstances. Who knows if anyone will stand up and take risks?

After much deliberation, there is only one place that is the safest, and that is Chixian City on Xiaoliuqiu Island, and Su Maner has already arranged to go there one step ahead.The so-called ugly daughter-in-law will see her parents-in-law sooner or later, even if he doesn't tell about Chixian City, he probably won't be able to hide it from the two girls for a long time.

That being the case, it is better to arrange for them to go there first, to get used to it first, to think about what they will face in the future as their own wives, and whether they are mentally prepared enough.

In fact, Yang Chendong also guessed that Hu Yan and Xue Niangzi must have been shocked first, but they would still support him in the end.After all, women in ancient times rarely had such independent thinking. Most of them were single-minded, and they would follow whoever they married for the rest of their lives.

Yang Chendong has made a decision here, but when he arranged for the two girls to leave, it really took a lot of talking.Just as he thought, marry a chicken and follow the chicken, Hu Yan and Xue Niangzi actually asked to face all difficulties with Yang Chendong.

The two women didn't want to leave Yang Chendong, they were more worried.Facing a woman who was worried about him, how could he say anything serious?Fortunately, Yang Chendong knew the roundabout tactics and adopted a method of defeating them one by one. First, he got through with Mrs. Xue, and then the two of them joined forces to deal with Hu Yan. Sure enough, the matter finally came to fruition.With the excuse of sending them to the safest and most comfortable place, Hu Yan and Xue Niangzi left before the battle.Along with them were the original Tie Qingyi with a group of female guards and Yang Wu and other guards representing Yang Chendong's identity.

With the family affairs properly arranged, Yang Chendong finally saw the territory outside Daming.Just two days later, the army set off.

There are 29 battalions in the front and back, more than 1 people, walking all the way, especially when passing by the side of Miao Jinlong's military camp, the opponent is like a rooster about to fight, and puts on a strict defense. Obviously, the previous battle did scare them. Seeing the mercenaries walking by, they instinctively put on a defensive state.
