Chapter 65: Jin Yiwei
Cheng Xiaolian coughed: "Let me declare first, there is no silver, no people, no food, no land, except for my pure blood, I have nothing." ”
Yang Youcai glanced at him: "Can you not say such frustrating words at such a critical time?" What we have for the silver is that we will go back and find it ourselves, and we will only need a word. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Restoring Jinyiwei to the status of the ancestor period cannot be changed during your lifetime. We are the sharpest knives in the Ming Dynasty, and we don't need gorgeous scabbards, let alone eunuchs with dog skins as scabbards. ”
Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "I'm not the emperor now, so it's not necessarily useful to say it." ”
Yang Youcai said firmly: "We recognize you as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you have to give us a promise, otherwise tomorrow another dragon son and grandson will pop up, do you want Jinyiwei to be torn apart?" ”
Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "Okay, since you said so, I will give you a promise, if I become the emperor one day, Jinyiwei will only obey my orders and be above the hundred officials, if you violate this oath, you will not die well." ”
"Okay, from today on, Jin Yiwei since Yang Youcai, a total of 235 people, for the Ming Dynasty to do their best, after death, if one person violates the oath, Yang Youcai will kill one person, if there are 100 people who violate the oath, Yang Youcai will kill 100 people, if Yang Youcai violates the oath, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, and it will not be a good death!"
Cheng Xiaolian's mood is excited, it is difficult to calm down, you must know that it is now the twelfth year of Kangxi, plus the eighteenth year of Shunzhi, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been in the customs for thirty years, and there are more than 200 people who insist on them or their father's Daming, even if there is no glimmer of hope, they are still crawling in the dark, because their name is Daming Jinyiwei, and their oath has never changed.
Cheng Xiaolian suddenly knelt on the ground: "It's Da Ming who can't stand you." ”
All the people present knelt on the ground, and Yang Youcai and they roared in a low voice: "I'd rather embroider spring knives for the Ming Dynasty than make Manchu horseshoes!" ”
After everyone calmed down and entered the house, Yang Youcai carefully explained the distribution of personnel, there are two hundred and thirty-five people in Jinyiwei, one hundred and thirty-five people are distributed between Yungui and Guizhou, and some people only have a code name left, but they are still passing the news outside, even Yang Youcai doesn't know what they look like, but as long as there is news, these people are still alive. The remaining 100 people were distributed around Yang Youcai, doing business with him and subsidizing the brothers who died in battle.
Yang Youcai and these people are not good at calculation at all, but they are proficient in black and black, so they are still some silver.
Cheng Xiaolian gave the first order: "Let them develop secretly, don't pass on the news recently, we have to go to Myanmar." ”
Yang Youcai was stunned for a moment: "I thought you were bragging just now, are we really going to Myanmar?" ”
"Nonsense, the revenge of the curse water is not avenged, we may kill a Burmese army in the rear at any time, don't you want us to fight with the Manchus in front, and suddenly a team of elephants will come out of the back, right?"
Yang Youcai scratched his head: "However, there are only a hundred of us, and there are not many of you." ”
"Don't worry, there are still Yuan Zonghao and Confucius on the mountain, we can gather at least 2,000 people, not to mention anything else, it's enough to fight those traitors in Burma."
Yang Youcai was stunned for a moment: "But according to the information I got, when the king of Burma killed his brother and stood on his own, he had an army of 20,000 under his hands. ”
Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "They don't know the situation here, let's say that the Ming Dynasty has been restored, how many people do you think can stand up and fight us?" Besides, can the Burmese soldiers compare with our people? They estimate that they have read half of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, we are old pawns, the difficulty of cursing the water at the beginning was because there was no fortification, and they were blocked together, if they played conspiracy and tricks, they were not sure who would lose and who would win. ”
Yang Youcai nodded: "It's not unreasonable to say this, at that time, the morale of the army was weak, and the ministers were still busy fighting openly and secretly, according to the news that came back from the last time, the difficulty of cursing the water has happened, and those ministers are still busy forcing Ma Jixiang's daughters to death, which is simply stupid!" ”
Cheng Xiaolian also nodded: "As the so-called break and then stand, we are not the same as then, the Burmese soldiers may not be our opponents, we must grab the capital there before we can come back to recruit troops, within three years, Wu Sangui is definitely the most powerful person in this land, we can't rob him, otherwise it is easy to be crushed by him!" ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it, and the people under my command will sneak into Burma in batches, just waiting for our army to arrive, and we will definitely be ashamed!"
Cheng Xiaolian smiled: "Yang Youcai, what official position did you have?" ”
"Jinyi Wei Deputy Thousand Households, the Commander and the Thousand Households all followed into Myanmar, and those who didn't come back, I became the biggest, gathered a group of people, which was not bad, and kept the strength of life. Hey, I think that my Jinyiwei once had 60,000 people, but now there are less than 300 left, we are ashamed of our predecessors! ”
Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "Don't say that, there were thousands of civil and military officials at the beginning, but now I have saved three, I don't feel ashamed of my ancestors, the little ancestors didn't keep the family business of the ancestors, so we have to help the ancestors snatch back the things that belong to our Daming!" ”
The next day, Yang Youcai disappeared in this village, a hundred years later, there are still people talking about the village, there was a rich man surnamed Yang in the village, who refused to pave the road and build the bridge for the village, and was later killed by bandits to the village, no one was willing to help him, their family was destroyed, and the family moved to only four walls, which is called being rich and unkind!
Of course, these have nothing to do with Yang Youcai, from this day on, his rich man Yang Youcai has died, and now there is Yang Youcai, the commander of Jinyiwei.
Although Yang Youcai tried his best to persuade Cheng Xiaolian to be the emperor, Cheng Xiaolian didn't dare to call the emperor with a few hundred people, and besides, now the emperor has no effect except for attracting Wu Sangui, so he asked Yang Youcai to call him a general, in short, it would be good to be able to have an official position higher than Yang Youcai, anyway, Wu Sangui is now busy unifying the world, and he won't care if there are one or two mountain kings behind him.
Yang Youcai arranged for eighty people to sneak into Myanmar, leaving twenty people around him to follow Cheng Xiaolian up the mountain, Cheng Xiaolian's strength instantly expanded a lot, the key is to move a lot of food and silver, plus professionals like Jinyiwei, it will be even more difficult for someone to sneak attack Cheng Xiaolian in the future.
The bandits on the mountain are now completely convinced, the big boss not only got so much food, but also recruited so many people, this kind of thing has happened a few times, and their gang of bandits will definitely become the biggest force on the mountain, but they are much more promising than before, so they immediately and selectively forgot about Liu Dabo.
