Chapter 802: Mutual Compromise
Jin Ying can choose not to say this, he can even stand up and leave directly, I believe that Yang Chendong will not stop him. After all, he is a chief eunuch, and if he really kills himself, he will not play a good role, not to mention, he will only force the emperor to do something to him.
But in the end, he still didn't choose to do this, because he knew deeply that there were many enemies in the Northern Ming Dynasty now, with Yingzong Zhuqi Town in the south, and the powerful Warat army on the northern border. If you openly fight with Zhongyou at this time, you must be happy to see it as an opponent. And even if Yang Chendong wins in the end, he must have killed a thousand enemies and lost eight hundred. At that time, will they still be able to stop Beiming and Warat who are unscathed?
Of course, Jin Ying didn't know that if he started a war, he could only lose himself. Yang Chendong is known as the god of war, so how could he be unprepared to do such a thing that angered Nanming. Not to mention that there is already a regiment led by Xiao Feng in the Beijing division to respond at any time, with their strong military quality and sophisticated weapons and equipment, it is enough to support it for a period of time. Let's just say that once something happens here, a telegram is sent to Humang, who is in the first city, and tens of thousands of cavalry elites will go down from Dalu City, attack Xuanfu first, and take Juyong Pass, and it will not be difficult to make a civil change at that time.
This is where Yang Chendong's confidence lies. The so-called negotiation may require certain psychological tactics, but in the final analysis, it depends on who is strong. If you don't have enough strength, what if you let your tongue be clever? It's just a matter of delaying for a while.
Yang Chendong is gambling, betting that Zhu Qiyu is a smart person and will not think about starting a war with himself first. It's like himself, and he doesn't want to be an enemy of Beiming now. After all, with Shicheng, it means that he has formed a certain force on the Mongolian territory, once he starts a war with the Northern Ming, in the face of an army of millions, even if he wins, it will be a miserable victory, and he may be attacked by the various departments of the grassland and even the Nanming, so that what he did on the grassland in the past year may be wiped out.
As a person whose ideal is to take all Han people to the top of the world, the preciousness of time can be imagined. In the case, there are not enough troops and manpower, even if Beiming gives up now, he can't do it if he wants to re-plan here, even if this is the case, it is better to put it aside, rather than forcing himself to eat a piece of fat that is much larger than his body, to have a dyspepsia, it is better not to eat it first, and continue to raise it. The existence of Beiming can also help him share some of the firepower of Nanming and Warat.
Both sides have the same idea and neither wants to go to war. This is where the two of them can sit down and talk about the first conditions. Yang Chendong came up and told him about taking his wife away, this is to suppress people with power, this is also the basic point of all the negotiations, if there is no consensus on this, others naturally don't have to talk about it.
Fortunately, Jin Ying had met Zhu Qiyu before coming, and guessed what Yang Chendong would say and even what kind of requirements he would make. The departure of the two ladies was also expected by them. In ancient times, the status of women was very light, even if they left two wives, could they guarantee that Yang Chendong would not participate in Beiming's use of force on that day?
In ancient times, when there was a war, let alone a concubine, that is, when the son was in the hands of others, the two sides suddenly fought, is there less such a thing?
From this point of view alone, leaving Qiaoyin and Xiang Niangzi really thought that they could restrain Yang Chendong, which was even more. Knowing this, and showing such excitement, in the final analysis, it is just a temptation by Jin Ying. Now it seems that the temptation was very successful, and Yang Chendong's ambition was bound to win, which made him give birth to the idea that the other party still had hole cards. Jin Ying also has more plans in her mind about how to proceed with the next negotiations.
"If the two ladies must leave with the Loyal Father, what about the Immortal Residence and the Outer Heaven Trading Company? We have a lot of resources in Beimingdi, and we can make a lot of money here. Jin Ying didn't dwell on his wife's affairs, but set his eyes on these money-making industries.
Since Yang Chendong left Beiming in the spring of the previous year and returned to Jianning Mansion in the south to worship his ancestors, he promised to give Zhu Qiyu 20% of the shares of these two places, which is also a matter of no way. This is also why he knows that Yang Chendong's strength is constantly growing, and there is even a lot of news that proves that the so-called mercenary leader is originally nothing, and everything is really Yang Chendong's decision, but Beiming still turns a blind eye to this matter, which is precisely because of the interests.
Today's Beiming can already be described as reckless. In order to strengthen the military force, new recruits and new firearms were constantly being trained, and even artillery battalions were available. And all of this is built with money. In addition, the original Ming Dynasty was rich in the south and poor in the north, and the establishment of the Northern Ming Dynasty has taken away too many benefits, and if you really want to rely on the national taxes of the Northern Ming Dynasty to do these things, it is tantamount to a fool's dream. But Zhu Qiyu still did it, and it was done quite well, isn't it with the help of these two industries to bring silver to the imperial court?
Not to mention the Immortal Residence, a place to eat, even if the business is good, it is impossible to have too amazing income. But just the Tianwaitian Trading Company, a month's net income is millions of taels of silver, two percent is 200,000, and more than 3 million in a year, this is definitely a number that cannot be ignored, and it is also where Zhu Qiyu's confidence lies in the construction of the new army today, the two ladies can go, and this industry is absolutely not allowed to let go. Otherwise, it's really a crotch fight, and it's going to be a big deal.
In the nervousness on Jin Ying's face, Yang Chendong nodded lightly and said, "The industry will not move, not only that, but I will also increase the commercial flow here." If the mercenaries want to gain a foothold on the grassland, they also need more logistical supplies, after all, Nu'er Gandusi is still too far away, if it is possible, it is better to transport goods from the Jingshi road, in this way, Beiming's monthly income will be much higher. ”
Transporting military supplies from the Land of the Northern Ming to the front line is a good way to quickly grow the mercenaries of the First City. It is said that it has become stronger because of this, not what Zhu Qiyu and the Northern Ming court are willing to see, and the current problem is that the military expenditure and military expenditure of governing the country in the Northern Ming Dynasty are mainly due to Yang Chendong's commercial tax.
It's like if you build a highway and want to charge for it, you need more cars to walk on the road you built, even if you know that they are transporting goods on this road, people may get more benefits, but not only can you not stop it, but you have to give it a warm welcome.
"Well, this matter will be decided by the guild to the emperor." Although he knew that Zhu Qiyu would definitely agree, Jin Ying still said his duty cautiously.
"Don't worry, the emperor will agree. I have already thought that in order to show the goodwill of the mercenaries, I will lend Beiming 520,000 silver, and I don't have to pay back a penny in the first five years, starting from the sixth year, and it will take five years to pay it off. Yang Chendong looked confident and threw out another big bomb.
It is said that money can make ghosts grind, and this trick is the same in the face of the Northern Ming Emperor. Sure enough, when this sentence came out, Jin Ying was shocked all over, and her eyes were shining: "Really? ”
"Hmm." Yang Chendong nodded very happily, but then looked at Jin Ying and said, "My sincerity is taken out, I don't know why Gonggong Jin taught me?" ”
That's where the conditions are negotiated, and even the deal. Jin Ying only hesitated for a moment, and then immediately replied: "Even if the loyal and courageous prince is so generous, then the father-in-law will meet the emperor after he goes back, and he will definitely give the loyal and courageous prince an explanation in some matters." ”
"Haha, hahaha." The two of them seemed to laugh in unison, they knew that no matter what would happen in the future, but for now, the situation of union had been formed. Next, the two talked in the box for more than an hour, until it was getting dark outside, and Jin Ying got up to say goodbye.
Today's meeting has exchanged views on the general direction of some things, and the next step is for a special person to discuss this matter, and then it will be directly recorded, and then it will become a kind of rule to be enforced.
......
Palace.
Jin Ying has been walking for nearly three hours, it is getting late, and the lights have been lit in the palace, but there is still no news coming out, Zhu Qiyu, as the emperor, is pacing back and forth in the main hall, his face is anxious, and the so-called composure has disappeared.
"What is this loyal man going to do? He wouldn't do anything to Kim Young, would he? Could it be that he really dared to start a war with me in my capital? There were countless thoughts in his heart, and Zhu Qiyu's face became more and more ugly, so that the eunuchs who were serving him around him were standing far away, for fear that someone would accidentally say the wrong thing and cause the emperor's displeasure and unhappiness.
Fortunately, there was finally movement outside the hall, and a eunuch hurriedly came to the main hall, kneeling on the ground like a five-body throw, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Gonggong Jin is back." ”
"Bring him to me." As soon as he heard that Jin Ying had returned, Zhu Qiyu's face was obviously a lot more relaxed. Although he didn't know why he had been gone for so long, there was one thing he didn't have to worry about for the time being, that is, he didn't have to meet Yang Chendong in a short period of time.
Compared with Zhu Qiyu's worry and anxious face, Yang Chendong was down-to-earth and generous, walked out of the immortal residence with calm steps, and then sat in a sedan chair with the function of anti-bow and arrow fire-proof gun, and went straight to the Hu Mansion in the city under the protection of the black horse of the First Guard.
