Kuang Ye naturally couldn't think of so many things. He couldn't even detect the powerful desire in Yang Chendong's heart, and after listening to what he said just now, he just sighed for a while and went to the front hall. I came here today to ask Yang Chendong to send troops by the emperor's order, after all, the rebellion in the south has become bigger and bigger, so if it is not stopped, it may affect the political situation in Nanming.

Just now in the front hall, Yang Chendong, who had changed into a green shirt, also walked in. "Hehe, I'm sorry, I've kept Kuang Shangshu waiting for a long time, but is there any good news from the emperor?"

"Haha, the Zhongda's guess is really good, the emperor has put a lot of thought into inviting you, and this time he has invested enough money, and even the legitimacy of Beiming has been recognized, so that you will be a general, don't live up to the emperor's kindness." Kuang Ye had a smile on his face, but in fact, he was dripping blood in his heart. He saw Yingzong Zhu Qizhen's appearance when he was angry, it was really a dragon's anger, but the corpse was thousands of miles away. But fortunately, paying such a huge price is not without a little gain, Yang Chendong can lead the troops out or was recognized by Emperor Daizong, so it can be regarded as an explanation.

This time Yang Shan's actions made Yingzong very angry, if he could catch him, he would probably not be able to come over. But after all, the matter has already been done, and now I can only hope that Yang Chendong can do his best to recover some losses as much as possible.

Yang Chendong naturally pretended to be flattered, that is, he smiled and said with a straight face, "With the emperor's grace, Chendong will naturally smear his liver and brain to repay the emperor's kindness." It's just a request made by the mercenaries of the country's public agency before, I don't know if the emperor is ..."

"Yes, yes." Seeing that Yang Chendong did not mean to lose his words, Kuang Ye hurriedly said: "The emperor is sympathetic to the mercenaries to contribute troops, so this time he is extra gracious and allows your army to ask for what they need by attacking their opponents in the process of suppressing bandits, but please also make a count of what you get in your hands and report it." Not only that, but the emperor also specially appointed the loyal and courageous prince as the emperor's envoy, and he could do cheap things when he acted. In addition, there are 5,600 people in the vicinity of Guangdong, two thousand guards in Guangzhou, one in Shaozhou, and one in Pingle Mansion, all of which can be dispatched by Qin, and the nearby county of Damingzhou will also arrange grain and grass for the army..."

Kuang Ye seemed to be reluctant to Yang Chendong, and hurriedly took out his hole cards one by one, which seemed to be honest, but if he listened carefully, there seemed to be nothing practical except for 10,000 soldiers to call.

It's like a matter of grain and grass, that is, to fight for Nanming, how can mercenaries still need to prepare their own grain and grass? The so-called emperor is not a hungry soldier?

There is also the position of the minister of the Imperial Mission, which is a temporary official position. When you use it, this thing is naturally not a small authority, but what if you can't use it? I'm afraid I'm going to be beaten back to my original form soon. In this regard, Yingzong's actions are far less learned than Daizong's kindness, at least they have given him a loyal and courageous public position.

Kuang Ye is talking about a high-sounding sound, but in fact, there is nothing to really pay, and even the military expenses need to rely on themselves to rob the bandits. With such conditions, I am afraid that ordinary generals will definitely shake their heads, but Yang Chendong has already taken everything into account, and has even calculated it. Most importantly, he needs resources and people, as well as greater visibility, which can be said to take what he needs, and if that is the case, where would he refuse? Even without these things, he would have done the same.

"Okay." When he saw that Kuang Ye finished speaking, and his mouth was dry, Yang Chendong laughed, and then patted the table and said: "This matter is settled, and it is also hard for Kuang Shangshu to mediate in the middle." I am the loyal uncle promised by Yingzong, so naturally I should do my best to relieve the emperor's worries to the greatest extent. ”

Yang Chendong's promise made Kuang Ye also look a little excited. "Okay, this time there is a loyal and courageous man to come forward, naturally things are worry-free, but I just don't know how many mercenaries can send troops?"

With an old fox-like smile, Kuang Ye seemed to be smiling calmly, but in fact, his eyes were as good as he was, I was afraid that this was what he was most concerned about.

"Huh." Yang Chendong didn't answer immediately, but grinned first, then picked up the hot tea on the table and asked, "Kuang Shangshu must know a lot about the situation of mercenaries. It's like when I was in the Civil War, there were only more than 100 people around me, but I saved everyone from the battlefield. There was also the time when Wara approached the Northern Ming Jing Division, did Shang Shu know how many mercenaries were sent? ”

A rhetorical question made Kuang Ye begin to bow his head and ponder, "I heard that there are not many troops. ”

"Yes, not much. In the end, there were only 400 people. Stretching out four fingers, Yang Chendong said proudly, "There are only four hundred people, and the Duke of China dares to tell the idea of more than 100,000 elites in Wara not daring to fight Beiming, and go north instead, then you say that to deal with a bandit who does not have any support from any force, how many mercenaries are needed to solve the problem?" ”

This seems to be a rhetorical question, but it does show Yang Chendong's self-confidence. At this time, he was smiling, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, showing a strategic-like expression.

"Oh? It's really only four hundred? When Kuang Ye heard this, he was already shocked. Although it is said that Nanming naturally left a certain number of intelligence personnel in Beiming, and the news that came back at that time said that there were really only 400 mercenaries, such information was actually not accepted by everyone.

Based on their cognition, they think that it is impossible to reverse the overall situation with only 400 mercenaries, this should just be a trick of the Northern Ming, and the number of mercenaries is so small, just to highlight the strength of their Northern Ming army. But now that these words come out of Yang Chendong's mouth, the meaning is completely different, there is no need for him to lie to himself, at least at this time, there is no need to lie, otherwise, once it is exposed, I am afraid that he will not be able to get off the stage. It's no wonder that Kuang Ye was so shocked.

"Of course it's true." Yang Chendong nodded very seriously, and said as if reminiscing, "In order to invite these four hundred mercenary warriors, Dai Zong paid a price of ten million taels of silver. It's really distressing to think about, but fortunately, in the end, the war was won, the country was stable, and everything was worth it. ”

When talking about the price of tens of millions of silver taels, Kuang Ye, who was sitting opposite, blinked his eyes suddenly, obviously shocked. Later, when he saw Yang Chendong staring at him, he hurriedly showed a wry smile, "Loyal and courageous, Yingzong has just gained a foothold in Nanjing, and the treasury is empty, so there is really not so much silver for you." ”

"This is known to the public." Yang Chendong raised his right hand and stopped Kuang Ye's words, "It is precisely because the public of the country knows these that no lion has opened his mouth." To tell the truth, as a Ming person, everything in his country was given by the emperor, and now that he uses his courtiers, of course, he has to come forward. Not only that, but the prince also discussed with the eldest brother, the leader of the mercenary, in order to completely solve the bandit trouble in the south, this time the mercenary is willing to send more than 3,000 troops, which is definitely a big deal. ”

"Three thousand? Good, good! Kuang Ye was listening very carefully, but the moment the number three thousand came out, he instantly became a lot more excited. Of course, this is also a good job of Yang Chendong's foreshadowing before. Think about it, it took 400 people to bomb away the army of more than 100,000 people, although the army of the Northern Ming Dynasty also contributed at that time, but in any case, without those 400 people, it would be difficult to achieve victory with those old soldiers of the Northern Ming.

In contrast, this time the mercenaries sent 3,000 troops, which was more than seven times the last time, so how could Kuang Ye not be excited, and it was no wonder that he would say two good words in a row.

With these foundations, the rest of the conversation becomes much easier. During this period, Kuang Ye also took out the sword of Shang Fang given by Yingzong, saying that as a messenger, he had the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot, and once any officials of Nanming were disobedient, they could use this sword to cut them off, and they would not be convicted. He also said that Guan Ying has admired the loyal and courageous prince for a long time and has great respect for the god of war, so can he take this opportunity to learn. Of course, with this person, you can also better mobilize the nearby Ming army and so on.

Rubbing the long sword in his hand, Yang Chendong has seen many Shang Fang swords appear in later films and televisions, and every time this thing is taken out, it seems that there will be a golden light flashing. And now, he can finally really grasp it in his hand, of course, the moment he really grasps it, he finds that the sword is also very ordinary, but it is a little more fancy than the ordinary sword, in the end, it is just a symbol.

After hearing that Guan Ying was going to follow him, Yang Chendong's first feeling was that Kuang Ye was monitoring him. But when you think about it, this is normal, after all, if there are no military people with you, some things will inevitably encounter such and such troubles. Besides, even if he refuses Guan Ying, I'm afraid that there will be other people who will appear by his side for various reasons, even if this is the case, it is better to agree to it earlier, at least let Kuang Ye admit his favor.

"Guan Ying is Kuang Shangshu's favorite general, and he should be a person with some ability. That's the case, follow it, but I also ask Lord Shangshu to tell him, follow me, just listen to my instructions, I don't need him to put forward any opinions, hehe, then again, even if he puts forward an opinion, the prince may not listen, this point must be explained first. Otherwise, if you lose the battle, you don't have to blame it on your own father. ”
