"Oh, are you willing to go to Zhaoqing Mansion and fight the Ming army?" Someone finally jumped out, Huang Yuliang felt a lot of comfort in his heart, and there was a little more hope in his eyes when he looked at Zhu Fangyong.

"It's not." Zhu Fangyong shook his head.

"Huh?" Seeing that Zhu Fangyong did not stand up to relieve his worries, Huang Yuliang's face flashed with anger.

It's just that without waiting for Huang Yuliang to say something ugly, Zhu Fangyong has already said: "Son, with all due respect, Zhaoqing Mansion will be captured immediately, and it will be extremely difficult to take it back, even if you spend troops on this, it is better to do something else." ”

"What do you mean by anything else?" There was confusion in Huang Yuliang's eyes.

"The last general thinks that now the morale of the Nanming army is flourishing, and after two successive victories, it can be said that the morale of the army is high. In the face of this army, it is not easy for us to resist it, but we should think of other ways. As long as we can block the opponent's footsteps with the city, after a long time, the army's morale will be chaotic, and then it will be time for us to counterattack. Standing there, Zhu Fangyong's face was righteous, without the slightest hint of fear.

As soon as his words came out, he was immediately supported by the other generals. "Yes, what General Zhu said is true, now that the morale of the Ming army is high, it is really not easy to confront it head-on."

The people who could say these words were naturally a little afraid of the Ming army. Thinking about Cheng Yuan's martial arts is much higher than them, but he is also defeated by the Ming army, isn't there no difference between them going and sending them to death?

All the generals said this, and Huang Yuliang knew in his heart that even if he gave a death order to let whoever led the troops go, he was afraid that he would lose more and win less, and he would only lose his own strength. It's just that he was still unwilling to stick to it, so he asked: "Then according to General Zhu's meaning, we can only wait for the other party to attack in Wuzhou City, right?" ”

"Of course not. Although we have nothing to do with the Ming army in front, but the other armies can have actions, for example, we can send General Cui Yan outside the city to lead the troops into the Mengzhu Ridge, which is the middle of Pingle Mansion and Shaozhou Mansion, from there, you can avoid fighting with the main force of the Ming army, and you can beat the battle line out, once you enter the Yongzhou Mansion in the land of Huguang, it is the sky is high and the bird flies, you can expand the army there in large quantities, and then it will continue to attack the city and seize the land there to expand the influence, or return to the division with the new heavy troops, and the initiative in Guangdong is in our hands; There is also General Sun Jianglong of Gaozhou Mansion and Leizhou Mansion, who can also order him to launch an attack on the land of Guanghaiwei, so as to attack Guangzhou Mansion in order to divide the strength of his Ming army and annihilate each of them; In addition, General Ru Honghai in Xunzhou can be arranged to march to Nanning Mansion in Guangxi Province or Liuzhou Mansion to expand his influence and increase the results of the battle. There is also an advantage, once Wuzhou City is in danger, we can also retreat to the land of Guangxi to avoid the edge and then make plans. ”

After saying so much, Zhu Fangyong said to Huang Yuliang: "In this way, it will bloom everywhere, forcing the Ming army to reinforce everywhere, and then our opportunity will come, and we can gather heavy troops to attack one place and reverse the current unfavorable situation." ”

Zhu Fangyong said that it was the head of the way, and it was very feasible to listen to Huang Yuliang's ears. He is even fantasizing that once the plan comes true, the strength in his hands will be more than doubled at that time, and at that time, it will be able to compete with Zhu Huixuan, the king of Minzhuang in Yunnan, and then it may not be impossible to seek the world.

"Good, good. General Zhu's plan is very good, and he immediately wrote to the kings of heaven, I want to make the battlefield bloom everywhere, I want to make the Ming army tired of coping, and I want the world to know that I am powerful. Huang Yuliang laughed appreciatively, as if he had become the lord of the world at this time.

"Congratulations to Childe." The other generals in the hall also said with the wind, which caused bursts of laughter.

Fast horses from Wuzhou Mansion, to all directions, it will not be long, Guangdong, including Guangxi and even Huguang will also follow the chaos, at that time Nanming will not have the energy to send a large army to deal with Wuzhou Mansion.

......

Zhaoqing Mansion.

A new round of vetting and selection is underway.

Of the 5,000 soldiers brought by Cheng Yuan, 4,500 of them were safe and sound in this battle, and they became prisoners. Among these people, there are not many people who are physically able. In this regard, I have to say that Cheng Yuan still cares about his subordinates, and he does not deduct much from their eating and drinking. And now these people have become a good source of soldiers.

First the registration, then the investigation, and the process of exposing each other, and even some of the 2,000 people who had previously become temporary auxiliaries were familiar with these brothers, and with their help, the audit went more smoothly.

Of the 4,500 people, 1,000 were finally selected to join the auxiliaries, and the other 3,500 were given to Guan Ying and Ma Wei as usual. Yang Chendong is not a useless soldier, these people will eat a lot every day, so let's leave the headache to others.

"Pick and choose and see if there are any willing soldiers, and if so, someone will investigate their details." Guan Ying discussed with Ma Wei like this.

In view of the example of the two thousand temporary auxiliaries that Yang Chendong accepted, the two saw the importance of the prisoners. If there are two key points in the first battle of Zhaoqing that they can't ignore, the appearance of the four zero fires will naturally be counted as one, and the performance of this temporary auxiliary soldier will also be counted as one.

The mercenaries are very powerful, and they are powerful in all aspects, and at this point, Guan Ying and Ma Wei have enough understanding before. But those 2,000 temporary auxiliaries, who had only been in the barracks for a long time, had only been trained for a few days, and they could still exert such a powerful killing intent on the battlefield, which made them a little puzzled.

Why did the same join the army, and as soon as he entered the mercenary group, the whole person changed drastically? They can't figure it out, but they always know how to draw a scoop according to the gourd.

As for the two generals who also began to recruit troops among the captives, Yang Chendong only laughed after hearing the report below. "Tell them to go down, disrupt the new temporary auxiliaries, and start teaching them culture in a way that the old leads the new, and at the same time tell them that the cultural class is also very important, whether they can become a member of the mercenary army in the future, this assessment cannot be ignored, if there is obvious progress, you can consider adding three pieces of fat to a meal."

Yang Chendong is extremely observant, which may have something to do with the fact that he was the best Leng Feng special combat player in his previous life. When performing some extraordinary tasks, we tend to be more careful and observant, and we can save our lives at critical times.

It was precisely because of his meticulous observation that he had noticed that whenever the meal was served, those temporary auxiliaries who rarely had enough to eat were always staring at the fat on the plate, and some of them were directly drooling without a figure.

In many cases, the reward is the most important thing. In other words, what you give is something that the other person likes and needs. For example, if you ask a rich businessman to do something for you, just saying how much money you will reward him, the effect may not be much, but if you say that you can give you the official position of an idle official when you do a good job, it will be completely different. Maybe the other party will do a good job even if they are upside down, this is a reward.

Even if the temporary auxiliaries are so gluttonous, they will take this as a guide.

Hu Mang, who was following beside him, heard Yang Chendong say that he wanted to reward the soldiers who performed well with three more pieces of fat for a meal, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Young master, Zhaoqing Mansion has just been looted by these yellow bandits, and we have seized some gold and silver when we enter the city, but the meat is very scarce, and it costs a lot of money to buy it, so it is better to reward them directly with silver." ”

"You know that meat is scarce, and even if you give them money, where will you let them buy it? Okay, go and tell Guan Ying and General Ma Wei that they can help us contact pork, it's best to have a whole live pig to sell, we don't have a lot of money, and when the live pig arrives, it will be better to bring it to the barracks. Yang Chendong shook his head with a smile, and then said to Hu Mang in a tone that could not be questioned. (Note: The so-called "avoidance" is to avoid "name", not to avoid surnames.) If there is a Kaiyuan County, it was changed to Kaiyuan because of avoiding Zhu Yuanzhang's name, and what was avoided was the "Yuan" in the name "Yuanzhang". Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry about whether the title of pig is appropriate, thank you. ）

It's good to put forward the opinion once, and then the young master has thought of everything, where does Hu Mang dare to say anything, and he left with a promise. When he then found Guan Ying and Ma Wei because of this matter, and brought in a full 30,000 taels of silver at the same time, he really confused the two generals.

It's just that even if this matter was requested by Lord Qincha, and people are willing to pay a high price to buy adult pigs, where will they refuse? At the moment, he said that he would use his network to get as many live pigs as possible.

The two generals were indeed dedicated in this matter, whether it was because they wanted to curry favor with Yang Chendong or because they were profitable in this matter, in short, a large number of live pigs were soon sent to the city of Zhaoqing Mansion by the rich landowners in the nearby countryside, and then passed through the city and transported to the mercenary barracks outside the city.

Wang Yong, a member of the Wang family in Zhaoqing Mansion.

The Wang family used to be a big family in the city, and he has always carried the hope of the family's prosperity since he was a child. But he is not interested in reading, but likes to dance with guns and sticks. Many people have learned good martial arts.

When Zhaoqing Mansion was besieged by the Yellow Bandit Army, he was outside swimming the world with some friends in the rivers and lakes, and after learning the news of the siege of Zhaoqing, he flew back. But it was still a step too late, and when he secretly sneaked back to the city, all the 100 members of the Wang family were destroyed in the Yellow Bandit Army, and some of the clan sisters were also humiliated by Cheng Yuan and his cronies.
