In contrast, the big tent not far away is indeed particularly lively, when the eunuch reads out the emperor's will, everyone is either rewarded with silver taels, or has military merits, official promotion, which one is not elated? It was Ma Wei who also offset the previous sin of losing the territory because of his meritorious service.

"General Ma, Guan Langzhong, why don't you see Lord Qincha?" The eunuch who announced the decree, after saying everything that should have been said, did not see Yang Chendong's appearance, so he said with a slight dissatisfaction.

The status of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty has always been not low. In history, most of the powerful ministers and eunuchs also came from this dynasty. And who can be a eunuch who proclaims the decree, which one is not believed by the emperor? Such a person is something that foreign officials would never dare to offend.

For his question, the two must also answer. After seeing that they looked at each other with a tacit understanding, Guan Ying took the initiative to stand up and said: "If you go back to your father-in-law, your loyal father is not in the camp, I think I went out to inspect, you know, as the commander of the army, it is normal to worry more." ”

"Oh, that's a pity, my father-in-law still wants to admire the demeanor of his loyal and courageous father. Even if it's not a coincidence, then there will be a chance to see you again. The eunuch looked disappointed. I don't know if his words are in the eyes of Ma Wei and Guan Ying, and there is no difference between missing life and death.

Thinking about how swift Yang Chendong killed Jia Ping and punished Han Qing at the beginning, it also showed that this person was not easy to mess with. This time, everyone was rewarded, but Yang Chendong was not mentioned alone, who knows what he will do with the other party's temper? At this time, this eunuch even wanted to go to see Lord Qincha, but he was beaten out in a fit of anger, so what is it if he doesn't have a brush with life and death?

After the eunuch Xuanzhi received some benefits and silver taels from Ma Wei, Guan Ying and others, he left with a smile. The two generals were left behind, but their faces were bitter.

In the battle of the great victory outside the city of Guangzhou, who should be the most meritorious person, the two of them must be very clear in their hearts, but this time the emperor has rewarded all the people except for the first meritorious service, so wouldn't it make them deserve it?

Of course, the more important thing is that he will go to Wuzhou Mansion tomorrow, will Lord Qincha be angry in his heart at this time, and will his plan be changed?

The two of them wanted to go to Yang Chendong's tent to find out, but they were worried that they would hit the mold if they really went. In the end, a solution was discussed, that is, on the grounds that the rich gentry in Guangzhou Fuzhong wanted to act for the army, to test whether Yang Chendong agreed.

With a decision, the two went into the city to find Lord Lu Youfu, the political envoy of Guangdong, and briefly explained the situation.

"Master Lu, I still have to trouble you in this matter. After all, you are the political envoy of Guangdong, and this time the emperor only rewarded the military generals and no civil ministers, it seems that it has nothing to do with you, presumably if you go now, Lord Qincha will not come to you even if he is a little angry. Ma Wei said with a sneer.

"Yes, according to General Ben, Lord Lu is indeed the most suitable candidate. After all, the rich gentry wanted to feed the army, which was originally the business of the local parents. Guan Ying said as he mended the knife on the side.

At this moment, Lu Youfu knew that he had been sold. But when he thought that this battle was for the peace of Guangdong, and if he did it well, he would be considered a righteous envoy, even if it was for himself, he had to do something at this time. "Okay, this official is going to take a look, but you remember, you owe the old man a good drink."

Of course, this is a joke, when Lu Youfu said this, Ma Wei and Guan Ying of course nodded and agreed, and then watched Lord Lu enter Lord Qincha's camp all the way.

Go in fast, come back even faster. Lu Youfu, who only saw him, shook his head as he walked, and this scene fell in the eyes of Ma Wei and Guan Ying, which can be described as worried. As soon as they got closer, the two of them stepped forward and asked, "How is Lord Lu?" But Chincha-sama changed his plans? ”

"Well, the plan hasn't changed. Lord-sama said that everything was business as usual. Lu Youfu shook his head and said the result.

Hearing that there was no change, Ma Wei and Guan Ying's faces were relieved. But then he asked a little incomprehensibly, "Lu Dayou, even if everything is as usual, why did you look like that just now, and what does this mean?" ”

"It's... It's just that the old man saw that Lord Qincha's face was as usual, and his reply was also fast, so he thought that this time there was indeed some unfair reward. Lu Youfu said with a sigh. When I saw Yang Chendong just now, the other party was still the same as before, as if the eunuch had never appeared. This calmness, this calmness, and even this broad mind have to be admired, at least if it is replaced by himself, he is afraid that he will not be so bland, Lu Youfu has a feeling.

It's just that as soon as he said this, the three of them were silent, after all, the eunuchs who announced the decree were ordered by the emperor to discuss the emperor in private as courtiers, but they didn't have the courage to do so. Fortunately, the plan went as usual, and they could go back to get a good night's sleep.

In the military tent not far away, Yang Chendong was closing his eyes and thinking about something, Hu Yan had already left to prepare dinner, and only Hu Mang and Yang Er were left here.

"Young Master? Aren't you angry? Seeing that there were no outsiders, Hu Mang finally asked a little uncontrollably.

"Yes, my subordinates want to ask about this too." Yang Er on the side lowered his voice, this is not what secret he is talking about, but it is really like thunder, speaking normally, sometimes it will startle Yang Chendong, so he is forbidden to lower the tone when he speaks in the future.

The stuffy gourd around the two of them, often without asking, and the two who rarely speak actually opened their mouths on this matter, Yang Chendong's originally closed eyes slowly opened, and then looked at the two of them with interest and said, "What?" Are you fighting for the young master? ”

"Young master, it's not that you're upset, it's true? Why are those who have not done anything great have been rewarded, but you have nothing? Seeing that Yang Chendong was not angry, Hu Mang was also much bolder when he spoke at this moment.

"Ha, haha, that's right, that's true." Yang Chendong nodded, and seemed to agree with Hu Mang's statement, but then shook his head, "But what is this fact?" When others have to turn a blind eye, the facts can also be treated as if they do not exist. In the final analysis, everything depends on strength. ”

After Yang Chendong, who was moved, said this, when he looked at Hu Mang and Yang Er, he had already turned into a teaching tone and said, "You remember that benefits are not meant to come, but should be fought for with practical actions." Only when you become strong will no one dare to show you a face, and all kinds of unfairness will leave you. On the contrary, before that, even if you have any dissatisfaction, you need to endure it, otherwise, even if you have great talent, I am afraid that there will be no moment to show it, understand? ”

These words are somewhat esoteric. But the two of them have been following Yang Chendong for not a day or two, even if they can't hear it completely, they have heard a rough idea. The young master's words are nothing more than saying that they are not strong enough now, and they still need to work hard to develop. Only when it develops and becomes strong will such injustices not happen.

"Yes, young master, we understand, and we will definitely do things more conscientiously in the future." Hu Mang and Yang Er both said with solemn expressions, their expressions were extremely serious.

"Good." Seeing that the other party understood what he meant, Yang Chendong first smiled, and then closed his mouth again. What I was thinking about was the question of how the population of the Yang family would grow rapidly.

In the final analysis, the development of the Yang system is still too short, the foundation is too poor, and the foundation is too thin. For example, a population problem alone has stifled all his paths to development. Although just this morning, the news from the city that the fleet sent to the sea to search for rubber trees had returned, and brought hundreds of ships of rubber trees that could be transplanted, the good news was enough to prove that electricity could finally come in handy in the city. But even so, Yang Chendong was relieved and couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

If you don't have enough people and troops to support it, it will be a big problem. Before the real expansion began, how to get more people to the Red Embedded City before it was known to outsiders was the most important issue. "Population, population." Thinking of these in his heart, one plan after another began to take shape in Yang Chendong's mind rapidly.

Early the next morning, more than 7,000 allied troops set out from Guangzhou Prefecture, aiming directly at Zhaoqing Prefecture. As the political envoy of Guangdong, Lu Youfu did not follow, but bid farewell to the army under the city, he looked forward to this army to completely defeat or even eliminate the Yellow Bandit Army, and let him be a real political envoy of Guangdong.

As soon as the army was dispatched here, there were spies sent by the Yellow Bandits to pass on the news and go straight to Zhaoqing Mansion, which was hundreds of miles away. And Huang Yuliang, who was in Zhaoqing, had already listened to Zhu Fangyong's suggestion and retreated to Wuzhou Mansion.

At this time, about 40,000 troops were gathering in Wuzhou Mansion, most of which were defeated soldiers outside Guangzhou Prefecture. After these days, all the people who fled after the defeat returned to Wuzhou Mansion, intending to make a comeback.

Or rather, they don't have much choice right now. The surrounding cities were destroyed when they rebelled, and no one planted the fertile land, so how could there be any harvest in the autumn? Without food, survival will become a problem, at least there will be food to eat in Wuzhou Mansion, although it is not a war when it is just two porridges a day, but as long as you starve and don't die, there will be hope for people to faint in the end, right?
