The policy is preached. Naturally, those who cooperate vigorously can also enjoy the basic respect of mercenaries. But those who don't cooperate will be miserable, and when the intellectual youth stands on the street and waves his hand, mercenaries or mercenaries will come to arrest people, and then casually put on their hats or send them to labor reform to make a big effort, and those who commit serious crimes will be killed directly on the street.

For foreign races, Yang Chendong will not be as tolerant as the Han people. Even some ethnic minorities living in Han China, such as the Miao people, Yang Chendong will have limited patience. But for the Jiaozhi people, this kind of capricious villain country, there will be no politeness. Either you are soft, or you just arrest people, there is no third way to choose.

Under what can be called a high-pressure policy, it only took five days for law and order in Hanoi City to return to normal.

When Yang Chendong walked out into the street, what he saw was the normal life of the people, the only difference was that there was a lot of bloody gas on the street that had not yet dissipated, and mercenaries could often be seen patrolling back and forth.

Looking at the statistics sent by Hu Mang, in five days, more than 5,000 people were killed and more than 40,000 were arrested in Hanoi City, making the city of Hanoi, which originally had 300,000 people, now only 250,000 people remain, a total of one-sixth less.

Of course, more than 5,000 people were killed, not only those who resisted, but also some Jiaozhi people who wanted to fish in troubled waters, and some Jiaozhi mercenary soldiers who wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune and do all kinds of evil. For this matter, Hong Jin has been reprimanded by Yang Chendong once.

But in any case, the situation has calmed down temporarily, and the atmosphere in the whole city has been renewed. The next thing is to send these people to Quyi City in batches, and then send them to Xiaoliuqiu Island by sea, where there is a shortage of population, this time when 50,000 intellectual young people were transferred from there, Yu Qianke, who was in charge of the overall situation there, was very unhappy, and later Yang Chendong said that he would return more than 100,000 people, which reluctantly agreed.

Yu Qian is such a person, he has a righteous heart, does the right thing, and is not afraid of anyone. Even if it was Yang Chendong's order, he dared to refute one or two.

Even if he promised to send 100,000 people back, the more than 40,000 people arrested before became the first batch, and there was a gap of nearly 60,000 next, which was also to be selected among the people in Hanoi. Of course, such a small thing has to be done by others, and Yang Chendong just needs to arrange the order.

In five days, the situation in Hanoi City has been stabilized, especially with the abundance of food, the atmosphere in the city is normal. But outside the city, it's a different story.

When Li Li withdrew from Hanoi City before, Yang Chendong thought that the other party was preparing to besiege Hanoi and stared at himself here. But he didn't know what kind of means the other party would have. But five days later, he finally received news that Le Le had not only gathered 200,000 troops near the city of Xiyu, but also united with the Lancang Kingdom (later known as Laos), and they sent 100,000 troops from Win Lou Van to Hanoi.

With 300,000 troops outside, this is the feast that Li Li prepared for Yang Chendong.

"Hehe, this Li Li, he is really old, did he think that Young Master Ben would play some confrontation battle with him, a city defense war? People want to kill me because of that, huh. Looking at the information in Hu Mang's hand, Yang Chendong sneered and threw it aside. Then he said thoughtfully, "The Lancang Kingdom has also intervened, which is good." Originally, I thought it wouldn't be challenging to just deal with a cochin, but if they wanted to intervene, they would just clean it up with them. ”

At this moment, Yang Chendong showed strong self-confidence, without the slightest nervousness and panic. Looking at him like this, Hu Mang and Yang Er on the side were also full of confidence, in their eyes, there was nothing in the world that was difficult for the young master, and the young master couldn't do it.

......

Five days is enough time for the news of Hanoi City to spread.

In the Nanjing Mansion of Nanming Kyoto, Yingzong Zhu Qizhen in the palace got the news, and at that moment he was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground from the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, be careful." Cao Jixiang, the chief eunuch who had been closely observing from the side, was also taken aback by this move, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him.

Zhu Qizhen, who was holding his arm and did not fall, was in a cold sweat at the moment, and he didn't pay any attention to Cao Jixiang's meaning, but seemed to be asking, and seemed to be talking to himself, "Big companion, is this true?" Yang Chendong only has more than 10,000 troops, can he capture the capital of Jiaozhi? There must be hundreds of thousands of Cochin troops there. ”

Cao Jixiang really didn't know how to answer this question, and this result was also unexpected. Like many people, he thought in his heart that Yang Chendong was at war with Jiaozhi, which was beyond his strength, even if he had advanced and coveted firearms in his hands, but too few troops was always a hard wound, not to mention that the environment, terrain and climate there were not the same as those of the Ming Dynasty, and it took a long time to adapt to it before he could integrate there.

It's like when the Ming Dynasty sent troops to fight each other, and when they went, they were violent, but because there were not many people who were not adapted, the final non-combat attrition was enough to drag down the army and not do too much.

With the lessons of the past, it is not much better to think of mercenaries. Who knew that people would be so fierce, and they would enter the capital of other people's countries in a very short period of time, and succeed? Even in the eyes of many Ming people, King Lili, who is not easy to provoke, had to retreat, and the intelligence also said that the old king was forced to ally the Lancang Kingdom to send troops to resist together, so he barely stood firm.

The changes and development of things were indeed unexpected by everyone, and Zhu Qizhen was shocked at this time, which was reasonable.

It took a while for Zhu Qizhen's face to return to normal, but the palpitations in his heart did not decrease much. Even if Yang Chendong can be forced to defeat Jiaozhi now, what kind of phenomenon will appear if he fights with the Nanming army?

As a result, I didn't dare to think about it. Zhu Qizhen also regretted a little in his heart, if he had known that this was the case, he should not have given Yang Chendong a chance to send troops to fight in the first place. At that time, he had the idea of weakening the opponent's strength, but now the result seems to be increasing the opponent's strength.

After all, if an army wants to develop, just like a flower seedling wants to grow, it must first find the right soil. Mercenaries do not have such soil for growth in either the Southern Ming Dynasty or the Northern Ming Dynasty, and if an army wants to develop under the constraints of every place, you can imagine how difficult it will be. But once they go out, it's different, the intelligence has already made it very clear that the two cities of Jiaozhi Quyi and Beidai that have been captured are now run by mercenaries, which means that they have a certain foundation, and once they are allowed to develop, the consequences are really unimaginable.

After all, there are only more than 10,000 mercenaries who can fight the Jiaozhi army and retreat, once the number of this army continues to rise, what will be the result? Doesn't it mean that one day, Da Ming is not his opponent, and it will also be very dangerous?

At the thought that this danger was actually caused by him, it would be strange that Zhu Qizhen's face would look good.

"No, we can't let him develop. Spread my will, let Liu Deshangshu immediately reach a consensus with Jiaozhi, and at the same time issued an order to the loyal and courageous duke, saying that Jiaozhi has been friendly with my Nanming for generations, and now he has been a vassal to me, and agreed to re-establish Jiaozhi Province..."

After saying that, this is Zhu Qizhen oppressing Yang Chendong with the general momentum, making his hard work go to waste.

And after saying this, Zhu Qizhen asked Cao Jixiang again: "Is the person sent to Jianning gone?" ”

Cao Jixiang knew that Zhu Qizhen was concerned about Yang Chendong's fourth brother Yang Yang, so he nodded and replied, "Back to the emperor, they have already set off, and it is estimated that they should have arrived in Jianning by now." ”

didn't say anything immediately, but closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and when Zhu Qizhen opened his eyes, a new idea had already appeared, "Big companion, immediately send your cronies to Jianning quickly, and inform the people sent that they must treat the loyal fourth brother well, and at the same time politely invite him to Nanjing, I want to give him a high-ranking official, um... For the time being, let's take up the post of a member of the Ministry of Works. ”

Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Labor, from the official position of the fifth product. In contrast, the Ministry of Industry is not an important position, and there is almost no real power, but the symbolic significance is greater.

Someone was sent to Jianning to arrest Yang Yang before, although he didn't say what the crime was, but taking Yang Yang in his hand first was more or less a deterrent to Yang Chendong. But now that he was suddenly crowned an official, this had to make Cao Jixiang on the side have another thought, that is, is the emperor a little timid and loyal, otherwise, why would he suddenly change his mind about being an official?

Of course, this can also be seen as a gesture of favor or tenderness. But this is after the loss of the capital of Jiaozhi first, and then there is the current official seal, and it seems that the real reason has suddenly come out.

But no matter what kind of thoughts he has in his heart, even if this is the emperor's will, Cao Jixiang must obey. Immediately, he nodded and obeyed, and then turned around and went to do something.

With the transmission of the will, Liu De, who was still arguing with the Jiaozhi envoy and wanted more benefits, immediately changed his face, saying that he could ignore the recklessness and disrespect of the previous King Lili (meaning that the old Lili wanted to take the three princesses of the Ming Dynasty), as long as they really voted for the Ming Dynasty, and paid tribute every year, called themselves Jiaozhi Province, and sent troops to quell the rebellion with the King of Xiping behind King Min, then Nanming could order the withdrawal of the loyal and courageous princes.
