Chapter 525: I Want to Talk

After talking about the matter of Yingloucheng in a quick way, he picked up another piece of information and looked at it. When he saw the things recorded above, Yang Chendong couldn't help but sneer.

The information came from the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, Nanming. The messenger was none other than Mu Mu, one of the chief eunuchs.

As the most important inside line to arrange Yingzong's side, unless it is something big and big, he will not pass on any news to the outside world. And even if the news comes from him, it will be very important.

Just like what was recorded in this information, it turned out that Yingzong listened to the opinions of the important ministers below and wanted to borrow money from Yang Chendong.

It is not very funny that the emperor of a country should borrow money from his courtiers. But it happened now, and Yang Chendong was not lucky enough to become the protagonist in it.

Obviously, I don't know which courtier saw that he was not pleasing to his eyes and wanted to apply some eye medicine to himself. In addition, Nanming had just broken up, and the foundation was not very thick, and then there was civil strife in the south, and a lot of silver taels were spent when the rebellion was quelled, and now there is less taxes in Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan, so the days are even more difficult.

At this time, they also re-recruited millions of soldiers, and the money that needed to be spent was countless, and the bank in the treasury was in a hurry, and someone made a move to say that they could borrow from Yang Chendong, after all, this person got a Yang family bank in Beiming, and I heard that the deposit bank has reached more than 40 million taels, and it should be no problem to borrow them 20 or 30 million.

Zhu Qizhen, who was short of silver, heard the advice of the courtiers and felt that this seemed to be a feasible way, so he made a decision to ask the eunuch in charge of announcing the decree to Yang Chendong to stop marching to Jiaozhi, and then let him lend money to Nanming to tide over the immediate danger.

That's what Mu Mu said in the intelligence. After being delivered by the Security Bureau, the news was placed in front of Yang Chendong first.

Seeing that this was simply wishful thinking, Hu Mang wanted to throw it away when he saw this information in the first year of junior high school. However, considering that the matter was not known to the young master, once Nanming's edict eunuch arrived, wouldn't he be unprepared, so in the end, this information still appeared in front of Yang Chendong.

Now seeing that Yang Chendong was laughing with this information, Hu Mang on the side suggested, "Young master, I think this is obviously Zhu Qizhen's head kicked by a donkey, this is unexpected, we don't need to pay attention to it." ”

was kicked in the head by a donkey, and this kind of words also came from Yang Chendong's mouth. He was used to describe ignorant people making ignorant decisions, and when the mercenary officers heard it, they felt that it was very apt, and they often used it.

Listening to Hu Mang's suggestion, Yang Chendong turned his head sideways, looked at him and said, "Do you also think that this is a decision made by Zhu Qizhen's head when his head rusted?" ”

Seeing that Yang Chendong didn't seem to think so, Hu Mang said with a puzzled face, "Young Master, isn't it?" Fools can see that this is because he wants to strengthen Nanming, and judging from our development, it is a matter of time before he becomes an opponent. Wouldn't helping them now be tantamount to erecting a powerful enemy for yourself? ”

It's no wonder that Hu Mang would say that. Originally, when Yang Chendong was building an army and building a city in Chichicheng City, they still couldn't understand the meaning of the young master. After all, Da Ming was too powerful in their eyes, so powerful that they couldn't shake it at all, and they didn't even dare to think about it.

However, after destroying the Yellow Bandit Army one after another and entering Cochin to occupy several cities, their thinking changed. With such a powerful army and such a rebellious musket, why not aim even bigger?

Didn't the ancients all say that princes and generals would rather have a kind of? Even so, what is wrong with them fantasizing about being an emperor? Having said that, the Ming Dynasty was originally the power that was snatched from the Yuan Dynasty, so it seems reasonable to be robbed by others.

I have to say that Hu Mang's idea is not only for him, but also for many middle and senior officers in the mercenary army, and it can be said that this has already formed a scale. In this way, if Yang Chendong wants to use troops against Daming one day, there will be no resistance.

It's just that all this is not like this in Yang Chendong's eyes. At least he knew that the so-called day was still a little far away. As for the reason, of course, it's still the population. And before this problem is solved, Yang Chendong really doesn't want to turn his face with Daming. Otherwise, you don't know how much effort and time it will take to solve those problems.

For the Ming Dynasty, Yang Chendong naturally can't be like a pair of Jiaozhi, saying that if he destroys the country, he will destroy the country, and if he says that he will kill people, he will kill people. And if you don't use this extreme method, if you want to solve the problem of Daming, it will take too much energy and time.

In line with the idea of easy first and then difficult, Yang Chendong decided to put the matter of Daming first. As long as your strength is strong enough, I believe that one day you will surrender without a fight.

If this is the case, then you can't turn your face, that is, the money is really borrowed.

Of course, lending money to Nan Ming is not all bad, for example, he can take the opportunity to put forward some conditions. What is the most in Daming? Naturally, it is the Han population, if you can trade with this, presumably Zhu Qizhen will definitely agree.

If there is really a large number of people who can use it for themselves in an open and honest way, it will also play a very positive role in accelerating the development of Chichicheng and even the entire Xiaoliuqiu Island, and even the entire Yang clan, which is not something that can be done by paying some silver taels.

In other words, the last thing Yang Chendong lacks now is silver. Not to mention that the goods in the Outer Heaven Trading House have always been in short supply, especially after cooperating with Wara, many things began to be exported to the land of Europe, and became the first items that the rich people there rushed to buy. What's more, with the continuous strengthening of the Yang family's navy, the transaction volume at sea is also doubling and rising? In the warehouses in the Red Embedded City, the silver has long been piled up, and I don't even know how to spend it.

In the future, if there is a chance, Yang Chendong will also consider his own banknotes, after all, silver as a liquid currency, this is somewhat wasteful, only the silver itself will be consumed, although there is Yang Bank auxiliary, but Yang Bank is not everywhere, silver bills are not conducive to real circulation, and if there is a paper money substitute can be much better. Of course, this is just an idea, there is still a lot of preparation work that needs to be done, and if it is done, the silver will really be too much to spend, and it can be used to lend to Nanming in exchange for a sufficient number of people, no matter how you look at it, it will be worth it.

After having a general understanding in his heart, Yang Chendong put this matter aside. Even if the person who wants to talk about this matter is the eunuch who came to announce the decree, it will take a lot of time for them to come to themselves, and now it is better to solve the problem of Jiaozhi first.

Speaking of the problem of Jiaozhi, Yang Er, who was guarding the door, had already strode into the tent. As soon as he saw Yang Chendong, he hugged his fists and said, "Young master, someone is here over there, saying that I must see you." ”

"Well, let him in." Yang Chendong's face was indifferent, which was originally expected by him. After all, when the army is in the city, it is reasonable to send people to negotiate peace. But I just don't know what the other person will say.

Yang Er withdrew, and soon re-entered the account, bringing in a man in his thirties.

As soon as the man entered the tent, he first looked Yang Chendong up and down, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he clenched his fists and said, "Li Yuanlong, the prince of Jiaozhi, has seen the loyal and courageous father of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Huh? Are you the prince of Jiaozhi? When he heard the tone of Hu Mang's self-registration number, he was shocked, obviously startled.

Even Yang Chendong's gaze sank, but it quickly returned to its original state. I don't know how many enemies and countries I will face in the future, but it's just a little prince of Jiaozhi, and I really don't put it in his eyes.

Very satisfied with Hu Mang's performance, Li Yuanlong nodded, and then said very confidently, "Yes, I am the prince of Jiaozhi." ”

The Great War of the Day has already demonstrated the strength of the mercenaries without doubt. Everyone knows that if this battle continues, it is likely that the Jiaozhi army will be defeated. Imagine that you can't even touch your opponent's body, how can you hurt someone?

If you lose on the battlefield, you have to take the route of negotiation, and although you may have to pay a lot of money to do so, it is always better than being defeated, or even killed. It's just that who to send to negotiate with Yang Chendong has become a headache for King Lili.

It is not so much a negotiation as a request for peace, and those important ministers are naturally unwilling to do such an errand. And some young courtiers with courage and ideas want to seize the opportunity, but their status is too low, and they are not only easy to be looked down upon when negotiating, but also unable to make decisions in many matters. In the end, after thinking about it, Li Li set his eyes on his son.

Whether it is in terms of status or courage, his prince son is the best choice. In fact, Li Yuanlong did not disappoint him, the king of his father, and seeing his father's eyes looking at him, he took the initiative to stand up and take on this responsibility, which led to the scene of him appearing in the mercenary tent.

"You're not a little daring." Hu Mang did not come to his senses in shock, of course Yang Chendong said this.

This is not to blame Hu Mang, he used to be just a companion reading boy next to the sixth young master, to say that it is not good, it is just a descendant of the Yang family with a higher status, and it is inevitable that such an identity will be a little unnatural to see the prince of a country. However, Yang Chendong, who has even been in contact with the two emperors of the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, naturally has a broader vision, although there is a little panic in his heart because of the appearance of the other party, but he quickly regained his composure.
