Chapter 181: Five Cities Soldiers and Horses
Yang Chendong asked Lu Gui to come to get the silver by name, which was clearly to embarrass him, and it was also to avenge the previous suspension, how could Jin Ying not see it. Just thinking that if you let your family be wronged, you will have to pay the price for your mistakes, but you just bow your head and admit your mistakes, presumably Lu Gui has not had the courage not to listen to himself, and dare not bow his head.
After Yang Chendong left, Jin Ying went to the palace where Zhu Qiyu was resting, and picked out some things that could be said about what he had just talked about.
When Jin Ying said that Yang Chendong needed 10 million taels of silver to guarantee victory, Zhu Qiyu was also taken aback, "What? Does it take so much silver to fight a war? ”
It's no wonder that Zhu Qiyu was so surprised, he really hasn't had this experience since he took the throne. When Shi Heng went out of the city to fight before, because he was too anxious, he just asked the household department to replenish some grain and grass, and then set out on the expedition. At that time, Zhu Qiyu was still stabilizing his position under his buttocks, so he naturally didn't think too much about it.
Now, when you hear that so much silver is needed to fight a war, you will of course be surprised, and even surprised.
Continuing to listen, he was relieved to hear that he only needed to pay five million in cash and the rest could be offset by Jingshi's real estate, but he still asked with a puzzled stomach, "Aiqing, do you need so much silver to fight a war?" ”
Although Jin Ying has won Zhu Qiyu's trust and holds great power, he also knows that the matter that the emperor asked about the Tao must not be hidden, otherwise, once he loses his holy grace, he will lose everything. "Your Majesty, you don't need so much silver to fight a war on weekdays, but this time we used the Loyal Marquis, and he invited mercenaries with advanced firearms to help, and more than eighty percent of the money was for their use. According to Zhongduhou, the ammunition of that kind of firearm is very expensive, and it cannot be made with our Ming technology, which is why the price is so high. ”
"I see." After hearing this, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but sigh and said: "I think I am a big man, the land is vast, and there are many capable people, why can't I make an advanced firearm?" After this war, it is necessary to urge the armory workshop to pay close attention to research and development. ”
"Your Majesty, your majesty has remembered this matter, but do you want to agree to the request made by the Marquis of Zhonggu? Now that the situation is critical, the Warat army seems to be ready to arrive at any time, if it is uncertain, I am afraid that if I miss the opportunity, the Jingshi will be in danger. Jin Ying was still thinking about the benefits that belonged to her, so she looked at Zhu Qiyu and asked.
"Promise him, as long as he can keep the Jingshi and repel Warat, it's just a matter of asking for some silver and real estate, what can he do to him? Just like Aiqing said, this is my country, my world, everything here is mine, and what is naturally given out can be taken back at any time. Zhu Qiyu stood there, his body straight, his eyes looking into the distance. At this moment, there is quite a kind of imperial power emanating from the body. When these words were heard in Jin Ying's ears, he couldn't help but kneel on the ground as if he was surrendering, "The emperor is sage, the minister will do it." ”
Kim Young left. After getting Zhu Qiyu's will, the household department soon pulled out five million taels of silver and sent it to the immortal residence where Yang Chendong was located in the city, and asked Yang Fu to go to the household department to discuss where to give the real estate.
Although Yang Fu is Yang Chendong's cousin, he was impressed by this cousin's methods when he was in Jianning Mansion for a long time, and later because of his good performance, he was also arranged to manage the Outer Heaven and the Immortal Residence, which can be said to be a powerful one. Now that Yang Chendong arranged for him to go to the household department to discuss matters, where did he dare to be lazy, he set off after meeting his cousin and figuring out what Yang Chendong meant.
The money and food began to be in place gradually, and Yang Chendong, as the commander-in-chief, also began to get busy. The first thing he did was to summon the commanders of the soldiers and horses of the five cities of the central, eastern, western, southern, and northern cities, that is, the five governors of the five armies came to the gods to discuss the matter.
Yang Chendong was named a hussar general, leading the title of governor of the left capital of the five armies of the Beijing Division, commanding the military affairs of the Beijing Division, and controlling the soldiers and horses of the whole city has long been conveyed, and the five governors are waiting for Yang Chendong's summons at the moment, and when the military order arrives, the five commanders will come directly to the private room on the second floor of the immortal residence under the protection of several personal soldiers.
As the command department of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, also called the governor, their official position is not high, just the sixth grade, and they are also subordinate to the military attache series.
In the context of emphasizing literature and suppressing military force, military generals were not taken seriously, making them slightly inferior to some civilian officials. In a place like the Immortal Residence, they usually come to a place with few official positions, low income, and occasionally come to just find a seat in the hall, that is, they don't even go to the box on the first floor, let alone the private room on the second floor, which can only be come up by those platinum card members, who are either rich or noble.
This time, after being called here by Yang Chendong, he was able to enjoy such treatment, and after going up to the second floor one by one, he behaved very restrained, until he saw Yang Chendong in green clothes in the private room, and he was still cautious one by one.
"It's all here, take a seat." looked at the five commanders of the five armies, namely Tao Jin, Yang Jie, Gao Li, Mao Fushou, and Sun Wei.
As a military general who defends the Great Beijing Division, in fact, what he does in ordinary times is really limited. No one would have thought that someone would come to the door, so these five people are not people who can fight well, on the contrary, most of them are under the shadow of their ancestors to get their current position.
It's just that because of the consecutive defeats of Yingzong and Shi Heng, Jingshi has become dangerous, and the positions of the five of them have become crucial.
It is precisely because of the importance of the location that the five people have some ideas, that is, to try their best to get out of the current position. Maybe they are timid, or maybe they know that they can't win in such a big battle, which forces them to find another way.
It's like among the four, except for Sun Yu, the other four have all found some relationships. It's just that because of the rush of time, and this position is beyond everyone's reach, Tao Jin and the four of them didn't find a suitable replacement.
These circumstances, the Security Bureau has long investigated and understood everything, Yang Chendong is naturally very clear, and this time he called five people, to put it bluntly, he wants to rectify the inside. He will never allow a big war to take place, and there will be unstable factors and situations internally.
The five of them all stood in front of Yang Chendong with apprehension on their faces, and when they heard that they could sit down, all five of them clasped their fists and said respectfully: "Thank you, Master Hou." ”
Seeing that the five of them had found a place to sit down, Yang Chendong waved his hand and said to Hu Mang, who was standing at the door waiting for the order: "Tell me to go down, don't eat first, there is no need to serve here, everything will be said after the Hou has finished discussing the matter." ”
"Yes." After agreeing, Hu Mang closed the door of the private room inside and outside, and then waited here. At the same time, his ears were pricked up to ensure that if there was any accident in the room, he could rush in as soon as possible to protect the young master's safety.
The room was closed, there was no one else in the room, not even a cup of tea to quench thirst, and for a while all five people felt a burst of nervousness, and cold sweat began to break out on the timid heads.
The performance of the five people was seen by Yang Chendong one by one, and he didn't say a word. It was such a quiet scene that made the mentality of the five commanders change dramatically, and they were not sure what the temper of this top boss was? What will be done next?
The room was quiet and you could hear a falling pin. Just when several commanders didn't dare to wipe it off because of the cold sweat on their heads one by one, Yang Chendong, who was sitting in the first place, spoke, "Five, the generals of the Wara army will not be in the capital in a few days, do you have the courage and courage to fight with one of them?" ”
"Yes." After being stunned for a moment, all five of them replied in unison.
There are only five people, and the voices that answer are uneven, and the voices are big and small, strong and weak, which is simply a manifestation of weakness of heart.
Yang Chendong, who saw everything in his eyes, suddenly snorted coldly: "Is there really one?" If you are allowed to lead your troops out of the city to face the battle, how sure will you be of victory? ”
"Ahh This..."When Tao Jin and the four of them heard that Yang Chendong had sent them out of the city to face the battle, they were dumbfounded for a while. Sometimes it's one thing to talk big, it's another to actually do it. Just like them, it is full of momentum to clean up some disobedient people in the city, but once they are really allowed to fight with Warat, they may not be on the battlefield yet, and their legs will be weak with fright.
Tao Jin and the four of them were a little hesitant, but Sun Yu stood up directly, and said in an imposing voice, "My generation eats the fortunes of the imperial court, but whenever there is a war, it must be answered." ”
"Well, you're good." After staring at Sun Yuyou a few times, a smile appeared on Yang Chendong's face.
With Sun Yu taking the lead, the other four people were not confident in their hearts, but at this time, they could only express their positions one by one, indicating that if there is a fate, they will definitely follow it.
Regarding the statement on the situation of Tao Jin and the four of them, Yang Chendong did not take it to heart at all. Young Master Yang Liu, who had been on the battlefield in person and didn't know how many tasks he had completed, knew very well what kind of people were available and what kind of people were not available on the battlefield.
There is a good saying, if you are not afraid of an opponent like a wolf, you are afraid of a teammate like a pig. Now that he knows the temperament of Tao Jin and the four of them, Yang Chendong naturally knows what to arrange next.
"Okay, you guys have seen it in their eyes. Next, we will make appropriate work arrangements according to each of your conditions, and you only need to obey military orders when the time comes. Come on, serve the food. "Having figured out the situation, it is very consistent with what the Security Bureau has learned, and Yang Chendong has a basic understanding of the five people in his heart.
