Chen Tian was still thinking about the gains and losses, and Yang Chendong said again: "Jiaozhi is a foreign race after all, if King Min really wants to make a difference in the future, it is better to draw a line with them as soon as possible." They are not like Miao people, they have lived in this land for generations, you have me, I have you have long been used to it, Jiaozhi has a very independent nature, if one day, it really becomes the climate, I am afraid that it will be enough for His Royal Highness King Min to work. Of course, you can go back and discuss this matter with King Min, we are not in a hurry. ”

Yang Chendong is really not in a hurry, whether it is the steel that Zhu Qizhen wants to give him or the steel that King Min wants to give him, it is not in place. In line with the idea that holding it in his hands is the king, if these benefits do not arrive for a day, he will not make any moves for a day, although he has already prepared for the battle in his heart, but things still have to be done step by step.

Chen Tian thought that there were some things that he really couldn't decide, so he raised his head and said seriously, "If such a villain goes to report to His Royal Highness King Min, it will probably not take long to give a satisfactory answer to the loyal duke." But rest assured, whether it works out or not, we don't mean to be enemies of loyal and brave men and mercenaries. ”

The other party expressed goodwill, and Yang Chendong nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, as long as King Min's army and Miao army are not in trouble with us, we will not take the initiative to stir up trouble, so we can rest assured." ”

Even if a mutually agreeable agreement was reached, based on this article, Chen Tian did not count it in vain, thinking that the matter of the text still needs to be decided by King Min, thinking that Jiaozhi is approaching step by step, and time waits for no one, so he proposed to leave.

In the next moment, there was naturally a cold front to send them out of the camp. The difference is that Chen Tian brought hundreds of boxes of gold and silver in the mercenary barracks, which was originally to show sincerity, and the matter was discussed very smoothly, so naturally there was no talk of taking it back and leaving.

Not long after Chen Tian left, Hu Mang went to Gaozhou Mansion on his behalf, and he explained the focus of this negotiation to the other party according to the young master's wishes.

Kuang Ye was waiting for news in the palace. Ever since Yang Chendong sent someone to inform him that there would be an envoy from King Min to talk, Kuang Ye was a little overwhelmed.

Yang Chendong or the mercenaries have such a powerful combat power, he has been shocked more than once. Today's Nan Ming was originally full of holes, and he pressed the gourd to raise the scoop, and he was already facing huge difficulties, if the mercenaries were on the side of King Min at this time, Nan Ming was afraid that it would be really dangerous.

It was precisely because he knew the seriousness of the matter that he had not rested for a moment in the two days since Chen Tian passed under the city and arrived at the mercenary barracks. For this matter, Guan Ying, Ma Wei and others persuaded each other repeatedly.

For example, Yang Chendong's fourth brother is still in Jianning, and if the loyal and courageous prince dares to make a move, he will threaten his fourth brother; There are also people who simply come up with an idea, waiting for Chen Tian to return and pass through the city, and directly kill the messenger, so that the envoy will be killed, and at that time, it will naturally be more difficult for the loyal and courageous prince to unite with King Min.

In the face of these schemes, when he arrived at Kuang Ye, he was finally rejected one by one.

Now Yang Chendong has not yet made a final decision, it is easy for them to push him to the opponent's side with such hard work, if this is the case, they are really sinners through the ages. Such a risky thing, Kuang Ye, who is already very old, will not agree.

Not to mention, with his understanding of Yang Chendong, this person still cares about the overall situation, otherwise he would not have sent troops to Guangdong without receiving any benefits and quelled the Yellow Bandit Rebellion. It's just because of Emperor Zhu Qizhen's disbelief that this has led to a not very good situation today.

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

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

Not all generals in the world are Yue Fei, and he can be summoned back with twelve gold medals. Who is Yang Chendong, if you look closely, he has been wandering outside the imperial power, in fact, with the backing of a powerful mercenary, others also have such strength.

In the face of such a strong soldier, the most important thing to do is to find a way to befriend and play the emotional card, instead of using power to suppress people, and finally make a chicken and egg to fight.

Of course, although Kuang Ye is also an important minister, he does not represent the emperor in many things, and he just thinks about some things in his heart, if he really wants to accuse Zhu Qizhen of something, he does not have such power, let alone the ability to bear the consequences.

Just when Kuang Ye's thoughts were still suffering, Hu Mang came.

This is the closest person to Yang Chendong, and many times his appearance can represent the master.

In the main hall, Kuang Ye saw Hu Mang, although he did not go out to greet him in person, but with his waiting figure standing in front of the hall, he gave Hu Mang enough face.

Who is Hu Mang? After Yang Chendong's training in the past few years, he is no longer the little follower he was at the beginning. That is, he was reluctant to leave Yang Chendong, otherwise, he would casually return to Chichi City, which would be a proper existence of the same level as Leng Song and Kaohsiung, and it was not impossible to even be higher than the other party.

Seeing that he came here, Kuang Ye actually stood outside the hall and waited, this kind of treatment made him flattered, and he hurriedly walked a few steps, bent over with his fists and said, "The little Humang has seen Lord Shangshu." ”

"Huh." Corporal Kuang Ye Lixian stretched out his hand to help the bent tiger mang up, "Brother Tiger doesn't need to be so polite, come, please sit in the hall, come, and serve tea." ”

Kuang Ye's face was enthusiastic, and Hu Mang was also very respectful on the surface, but in his heart, he really admired the young master even more.

If you don't have such a strong strength as the young master, why should people treat you so well. You must know that this is a military secretary, and he also has the title of prince and prince, how can he be accessible to ordinary people like him without any fame, let alone such politeness.

Hu Mang thought well. During the Ming Dynasty, the hierarchy was still very strict. The official is the official, and the people are the people, and this is an existence that cannot be confused at any time.

Even if this official position is not high, and the other party is a rich gentry on the rich side, but when it comes to real conversations, the official still has to be stronger, because he not only represents himself, but behind him is the entire team of scholars who are supporting.

Not to mention a high-ranking official like Kuang Ye, there are few people other than the emperor who can give him a look. But it was such a high-ranking and powerful person who could go out of the hall to greet him, and by virtue of this, the other people would have already knelt on the ground, with a grateful face and a face of gratitude and a face that the confidant died.

To exaggerate it, it is to tell him to die immediately, and I am afraid that someone will agree to come down in one breath.

It's just that all this is completely different on Hu Mang's body. Following the young master's side, especially seeing the development of Chichicheng City, his vision has long been different from ordinary people. Even in his heart, even the emperors of the Southern Ming and Northern Ming Dynasty could not compare with their own young masters, let alone just a military department secretary, or a weak military department secretary who was defeated.

It is with such confidence that when Hu Mang talked about things to Kuang Ye next, he always maintained enough autonomy, neither humble nor arrogant, and did not mean to be inferior.

Kuang Ye listened carefully to Hu Mang's report, first when he heard about the 100,000 people, he seemed to be a little incomprehensible, after all, what did the mercenaries want so many Han people to do? But when he heard Yang Chendong ask King Min to make his text public and crusade against the Jiaozhi Army, his attention was completely diverted, and he suddenly stood up from the chair, "Did King Min agree?" ”

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

Yang Chendong said that there would be no problems, and Kuang Ye was much more confident. Facts have proven that on such a major issue of right and wrong, the loyal and courageous public can never be without a purpose. And if this is the case, it is really great, without the support of the Jiaozhi soldiers of the Minwang line, the strength will naturally be greatly reduced, at least in the short term there will be no strength to continue to go north, so it is equivalent to giving Nanming more respite, and once it is used well, the recruited recruits are trained, it is equivalent to one more male division, at that time to go south with all their might, and to solve the problem of King Min, it is just around the corner.

Thinking that Nan Ming finally saw the dawn of revival, Kuang Ye's whole spirit became much better, and when he looked at Hu Mang, his tone was more firm, "Then trouble Brother Hu to convey the loyalty and courage, thank him for everything he has done for Nan Ming, this matter is done, it will be a great achievement, and the old man will report to the emperor that he knows." ”

Feeling it, Kuang Ye said these words sincerely, and Hu Mang hugged his fists and said: "The villain, thank you Lord Shangshu for your kind words for my young master." By the way, my young master also said that once King Min really sent a message, he also asked Lord Shangshu to give up Gaozhou Mansion City for his own safety. Nanming should also take the opportunity to recuperate, once the training of the new army is completed, that is the time to go south to solve the trouble of King Min, and before that, it is better not to act rashly, otherwise the situation will become very troublesome. ”

Hu Mang's words are a little decisive, and even a little unpleasant, to the effect that there are no mercenaries here, with Kuang Ye and his thousands of troops, they can't hold Gaozhou Mansion in any way, which is indeed a bit contemptuous at first glance, but why is this not reality?
