Chapter 514: Zhu Qiyu was also scared
The envoy of Jiaozhi also received the news that the capital of the country had fallen, and his heart was already in turmoil. Now Liu De deliberately took a step back, where is he still not grateful to Mo Ming, and now said that Jiaozhi is willing to surrender, only asking Daming to withdraw the army quickly, after all, if it continues like this, I am afraid that Jiaozhi is not far from destroying the country, even if it is withdrawing at that time, it will not be King Li Li who is in power, so is there any difference between withdrawing and not withdrawing?
Lang is affectionate, and the concubine is intended, and the agreement is naturally reached quickly. Then the Jiaozhi envoy and the Ming envoy with the will left Nanjing City together and went straight to Jiaozhi.
This is the imperial power.
In order to achieve their own selfishness, they completely ignore everything that the mercenaries have done, even if they are expanding the territory for the Han people.
Three days later, the news that Yang Chendong led the mercenaries to capture the capital of Jiaozhi finally reached the Beijing Division of the Northern Ming Dynasty. It was also shocking that Daizong Zhu Qiyu was shocked and surprised.
During this period of time, Beiming has been stable and united, and has been seeking a path of development.
Nanming is chaotic, and he can't take care of Beiming at all, and Warat in the north is vigorously developing business, so he doesn't mean to trouble Beiming. Under the stability of the external environment, Beiming got time to recuperate.
Zhu Qiyu is also a wise monarch, under the stability of the external environment, he recruited and trained soldiers, and the morale and number of the army have been greatly improved. Especially after receiving the eighty-one bar given by the mercenaries, he made great efforts to carry out research, and the production of muskets and artillery was constantly advancing. Although there is still a long way to go before the actual production of the finished product, there are indeed some eyebrows.
It's like ordinary artillery has already been built, and some of the structures of the Bayi Bar also have a certain brow. It can be said that as long as they are given one to two years, they may be able to make a finished product with a similar experience.
This is the wisdom of the Han people, as long as they are really willing to put their minds into it, there is nothing that cannot be done. Just like later generations, it took China decades to catch up with the world's most developed countries economically, although there is still a certain gap, but the obvious distance is getting smaller and smaller.
All aspects of work are on the right track, and Zhu Qiyu's throne has become more and more stable. At this moment, his mind was also a little wild, and he had the idea of whether he could have the opportunity to unify the north and south of the Ming Dynasty and recreate the glory of the Ming Dynasty.
It's just that in order to get there, there are some problems that have to be solved. And one of the problems to be solved is the problem of Yang Chendong.
There is one point, Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Qizhen have the same idea, that is, they are both a little afraid of Yang Chendong's existence and the mercenary forces behind him.
Zhu Qiyu will not forget who forced the retreating soldiers to the Warat army under the city, and still remembers that at that time, when all the generals and soldiers under him were helpless, it was Yang Chendong who took the initiative to stand up, and then lightly let Wara retreat.
At that time, Zhu Qiyu was still very grateful to Yang Chendong. If it weren't for his action, I'm afraid that the current Beiming would have ceased to exist long ago. It is precisely because of this that the other party was crowned with the position of loyal and courageous duke.
At this time and then, now the world is peaceful in Beiming, but Yang Chendong's power and influence are getting bigger and bigger, which makes Zhu Qiyu look very tired, and even becomes a little troubled and lost.
It is precisely because of this that when Jin Ying and others proposed to send someone to assassinate Yang Chendong, Zhu Qiyu did not stop it, but recognized all this by default means. It's just that I never thought that there were a lot of people sent out, but I couldn't find the right time, it seems that this loyal man also knows that he has offended too many people, and he usually has very good security measures around him, so people don't know where to start.
The dispatcher couldn't find a suitable opportunity, but fortunately, Yang Chendong took the initiative to send troops to Jiaozhi, when he first got the news, Zhu Qiyu was happy in his heart, he thought that this was the reason for some people's psychological expansion, but who would have thought that Jiaozhi, which was given up by force by Daming, would eventually be really opened by Yang Chendong with mercenaries, not only that, but even the national capital of other people was occupied.
originally thought that Yang Chendong was in crisis, and he might be defeated and die without even taking action himself. Zhu Qiyu began to prepare for receiving the Immortal Residence and the Outer Heavens. Especially in Yangjia Bank, the amount of deposits has already made Zhu Qiyu salivate.
This is also a matter of no way, many businessmen who have business dealings with the Outer Heaven Trading Company must first deposit the silver into the Yang Family Bank, and they can only trade with them with my silver ticket. This is not only the case for ordinary Ming merchants, but also for the merchants of Warat. This greatly improved the specifications and influence of Yangjia Bank, so that the amount of gold and silver deposited here reached more than 40 million taels, which was enough to exceed the amount of silver deposited in the Beiming treasury.
Zhu Qiyu has been watching the development of Yangjia Bank coldly, and he is only waiting for a suitable opportunity to access his own hands. When the news came that Yang Chendong was marching into Jiaozhi with mercenaries, he thought that the opportunity was coming soon, and sent out many people to keep an eye on the Yang Family Bank for a while, in order to prevent them from suddenly transferring the silver taels.
But now, Yang Chen Dongfei Dan was not defeated in Jiaozhi, but won one after another, which also made Zhu Qiyu's originally hot heart cool down in an instant as if it was watered with cold water. Emperor Daizong was naturally also in a cold sweat. If he really couldn't bear it before, and took the Yang Family Bank for himself, wouldn't it offend Yang Chendong to death, if that's the case, I'm afraid that Beiming's trouble will come.
Not to mention whether Zhu Qiyu was really afraid of Yang Chendong in his bones, at least he didn't want to fight him now. At least until his new army is not trained and firearms are not made, he needs to develop steadily.
"Pass the decree and withdraw those who are staring at the Yang Family Bank, the Outer Heavens, the Immortal Residence, and the Yang Family Village." Zhu Qiyu's face was a little unsightly, and his voice was a little weak and said to Jin Ying, the chief eunuch beside him.
"Your Majesty, are they all sent back? Still leave half of the human hand to continue staring. After all, the war in Jiaozhi is changing rapidly, and there is also news from Nanming that Yingzong has taken action to prevent Zhongdang Gong from continuing to interfere in the war of Jiaozhi. Jin Ying asked cautiously. Of course, he was also telling his own advice. Zhu Qiyu thought of the news from Nanming, and involuntarily nodded his head and said: "Then you don't need to leave half of it, just leave a small part to stare at, in short, don't arouse their disgust first." ”
"I understand." Jin Ying nodded, and then quietly withdrew.
In less than half a day, the people Yang Chendong was watching beside some industries in Beijing disappeared, as if he had never appeared here, and he could not see a trace in the sea of people. In Yangjiazhuang, fifteen miles south of Jingshi City, a horse-drawn carriage galloped in.
Although Yang Chendong has been away from Yangjiazhuang for several months, the defense level here is still very high. Even this carriage with the banner of the Yang family came from afar, and it went through at least three security checks before it was allowed to enter the village.
As soon as I entered Yangjiazhuang, the sound of reading came from afar, and it was the sound from Yangjia Academy. After Yang Chendong spent enough money, he still invited some scholars to teach here, in addition to them, there were also students such as Yang Chendong's student Wang Si and others who also stayed here as teachers, continuing to spread Yang's thoughts.
The carriage stopped in front of the inner courtyard of Yangjiazhuang, and then a fat man walked out of it.
"Rich young master, the second lady is waiting for you in the main hall of the front yard, please come with me." He was greeted by Yang Si, one of the main backbones left by Yang Chendong.
is known as the rich young master, and it is naturally Yang Chendong's cousin Yang Fu. This is already the person in charge of the Yang family's business, and his body is much fatter than when he was in Jianning Mansion, but he also has an air of a superior on his body. Think about it, even when the Warat merchant saw him, he couldn't help but pat a few words of sycophancy, and he didn't dare to offend the existence, under such an environment, a momentum of not being angry and self-righteous was naturally formed.
But that momentum is only useful in the business field, saying that it is like coming to Yangjiazhuang, which can be converged as much as it can. At this time, he was smiling kindly at Yang Si, "There are so many brothers of Lao Yang." ”
Yang Fu saw the second lady's clever voice. This personal maid who has followed the sixth young master since he was a child, was accepted as a concubine and then left in Yangjiazhuang, as if he had become a representative of Yang Chendong. Every once in a while, a person in power like Yang Fu would come to report on the work in his hands, and then the second lady would send someone to Yang Chendong, who was far away in Nanming.
"You're welcome, young master." Yang Si also said with a smile. Then the two of them walked towards the village one after the other.
"Fourth Brother Yang, the sixth young master has won the battle in Jiaozhi, and there are a lot fewer people with those nearby who don't have long eyes, it's pleasant to think about." Yang Fu walked towards the courtyard with a somewhat heavy body, expressing his good mood.
"Yes. Some people just don't remember to eat, nothing is like a ghost, if the sixth young master is here, where will they have the opportunity to show their heads. I must have been scared to leave now. Yang Si also smiled. An hour ago, he had already received the news that outside the village and around the Yang family's property in the city, there were many fewer eyes staring at them, which made Yang Si breathe a sigh of relief and feel that the burden on his body was a lot lighter.
