Chapter 217: The Lobbyist
Cheng Xiaolian also laughed: "These are all your credits, the soldiers have not forgotten the Ming Dynasty for ten years, thanks to your efforts." ”
"Your Royal Highness, even if we people are not good, we have eaten the salary of the Ming Dynasty for so many years, if we have no king and no father in our hearts, then we should really be thundered, and we will not have the face to see the first emperor after death."
The first emperor he said was Emperor Yongli, after all, Emperor Yongli's son Zhu Cijiao became the crown prince and never called the emperor. And this Zhu Cijiao is Cheng Xiaolian's biological father in the flesh.
Qin Yue's heart has greatly improved Cheng Xiaolian's status, after Cheng Xiaolian left, his people began to inquire about the news in the royal capital, and within a few days, they inquired about Cheng Xiaolian's movements, and naturally admired Cheng Xiaolian in his heart, no matter where he got these people, but at least he had made the moves, and it could be seen that he was a person who did great things and was not afraid of death, such a monarch would be much better than Emperor Yongli, so Qin Yue showed enough respect.
Of course, Cheng Xiaolian is not willing to turn over old accounts, ten years ago, no matter what choice people made, they can't blame him too much, after all, at that time, Emperor Yongli favored the traitor Ma Jixiang and caused the monarch and ministers to deviate from morality, no one could see hope, and he couldn't do it if he wanted to clear the monarch's side, and he left Emperor Yongli to save his vitality.
And now he can be said to be the main attacking force, and it is a little stupid to worry about the past with him. So Cheng Xiaolian praised him a few words without concealment.
Cheng Xiaolian stretched out his hand: "Come, let me introduce to you, these are the descendants of Mao Wenlong, the chief military officer of Dongjiang Town, we met on the road, they are willing to serve the country, which is also a blessing for the Ming Dynasty." ”
Qin Yue also opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Your Highness can meet the descendants of Zhongliang in the countryside, it seems that it must be blessed by the ancestors and ancestors, and the revival of the Ming Dynasty is hopeful!" ”
In fact, Qin Yue doesn't know who this Mao Wenlong is, he is just a minor official in the south in the Chongzhen Dynasty, and even Yuan Chonghuan's name is just a few words that have been heard from others, he doesn't know who Mao Wenlong is, but who is Mao Wenlong?
Cheng Xiaolian also laughed, pointed at Qin Yue and said to Mao Yunlu: "This is Lord Qin Yue, the Governor of the Left Capital of the Governor's Mansion of the Central Military Governor of the Ming Dynasty. ”
Mao Yunlu and the others naturally knew that if they wanted to help their father-in-law commit crimes in the future, they would have to rely on the approval of hundreds of civil and military officials, so they naturally saluted politely: "I've seen Lord Qin." ”
After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, they entered the camp, and it was a rule to set up camp at every place they went, because no matter what was important, they could not let the soldiers under their command have no place to sleep at night.
Not long after they were seated, a soldier ran to the gate of the camp: "Your Highness and your lords, the city of Ava has sent a messenger. ”
Qin Yue was stunned for a moment: "What messenger?" ”
"I said I came here to negotiate peace."
"What bullshit to negotiate peace, push it out 。。。。。。" Speaking of this, he suddenly reacted that Cheng Xiaolian was still here, so he asked tentatively: "Your Highness, what do you think we should do?" ”
"I think this kind of person who negotiates peace should also be pushed out and killed, but the situation in the city is blackened, if we can dig out some useful information from his mouth, our brother can also die a few less, right?"
Qin Yue nodded again and again: "Your Highness is still thoughtful, since this is the case, please invite people in!" ”
Soon Ding Su came to their eyes, Qin Yue saw that it was an old acquaintance, and stood up with a smile: "Isn't this Lord Ding?" Why are you free to come to me today? ”
Ding Su was furious in his heart, but he also understood that anger would not benefit him at all at this time, so he smiled bitterly: "Brother Qin, you can make my brother and me miserable." ”
Qin Yue sneered in his heart, you were enough to be an official at the beginning, but now that you think of calling you a brother, your face is full of doubts: "Why did my brother say this?" ”
Ding Su stretched out his hand to wipe away two handfuls of tears: "Brother, what we said at the beginning was good, I will keep you safe for the rest of your life, and you will submit to Myanmar, why are you doing such a rebellious thing now?" ”
Hearing this, Qin Yue slapped the table: "It's just that those dog officials deceive people too much, and they don't dare to disobey the orders of the adults to deal with us on the surface, but secretly they embarrass us everywhere, and the taxes are three times that of the surrounding villages every year!" We can't live anymore, we have to rebel! ”
Qin Yue didn't lie when he said this, but when he first entered Burma, these people brought a large amount of gold and silver, looking forward to the revival of the great cause, Qin Yue naturally adhered to the principle of not taking for nothing before leaving Emperor Yongli to get a large amount of property, so this has survived all these years, and every time he pays grain, he sends gold and silver to be exempt from heavy taxes.
Those officials who collect grain just think that these are Han people, and they don't bully Bai or bully, and most of the overcollected grain has to be handed over to the granary of the state, which is naturally not as affordable as the gold and silver sent to their homes, so the people who look at Xiangtai have not lacked grain and grass over the years.
Ding Su was very angry in his heart, and said in his heart that the bastards under his hands were not enough to succeed and more than to lose, bullying others every year, forcing people to turn people back, and finally almost getting tired and cutting off his head. If you don't settle accounts with them, you don't know what trouble you're going to get into the future.
Thinking of this, he immediately said righteously: "In that case, why don't you come to me, brother?" ”
Qin Yue snorted in his heart, brother, you are much darker than them, and said hesitantly: "We thought this was what you meant, brother." ”
Ding Su slapped his forehead: "Hey, I didn't take care of all the mistakes, this time I came and brought three hundred loads of grain and grass and five thousand taels of silver, as long as you withdraw from the army, send them to the camp immediately, you can eat for the time being, and when I go back, I will immediately mobilize grain and grass for you, and cut off all the heads of those greedy dogs!" ”
The words of mobilizing grain and grass are like inviting you to eat another day in the future, which is a kind word. But the sentence of cutting off their heads is very true, because Ding Su himself wants to cut off their heads!
Qin Yue immediately knelt on the ground: "Brother's grace of life will never be forgotten in the next life, we people must be obedient to the people, and we dare not do this kind of thing again." ”
Ding Su sneered in his heart, and in the future? After the battle in front is over, I will immediately kill all of you dogs, the Han people are right, if it is not my race, their hearts will be different!
Qin Yue nodded: "Then I will wait here for my brother's good news, but we can't withdraw the army for the time being, and we are also worried that there will be no food and grass after the withdrawal, and we will still have to starve to death at that time." ”
Ding Su nodded: "You guys wait, I'll mobilize food for you when I leave the camp!" ”
Speaking of this, he turned his head and walked out of the camp, and his face did not have the panic he had when he first came, in his opinion, he did not move a single soldier to retreat to the chaotic army, and this time the king would definitely not cut off his head, so there were four words written on his face, and he was high-spirited.
