Come to Daming with military supplies

Yang Chendong has always done things one by one.Even a character like Hu Wei is often used by him inadvertently, and when he reacts, he can only cry and laugh.

During lunch, the atmosphere seemed to have returned to normal, but Hu Yan and Hu Changning both looked preoccupied, but Yang Chendong kept sitting there with a modest smile, causing Hu Yan to stare fiercely after seeing it. He glanced at it, but then his eyes became very warm again.

Hu Yan didn't know what Yang Chendong said to his grandfather and father, but one thing she was sure of was that he would never harm his family.

Chapter 174 Jinying's Probing

This time when Hu Yan returned home, she brought so many good things. Compared with other married sisters and sisters, her face was full of brilliance, and she received many envious looks from everyone.And all of this was brought to her by Yang Chendong, how could she be dissatisfied?

After a seemingly quiet lunch, Hu Yan bid farewell to her parents and family, and left the Hu Mansion with Yang Chendong.After watching them leave, Hu Changning asked eagerly, "Father, can I send someone to check his details?"

The governor of Jin Yiwei originally had the power to investigate cases, and this was his plan to use his power to get to know his son-in-law better.

"No. Changning, you can remember that although he is not as old as you, he has a meticulous mind, a long-term vision, and a grand layout, even if he is a father, he will not be able to match him. If you want to make any moves, you must hide." But his perception, if this is the case, will only hurt the relationship between you, and it will be meaningless." Hu Yan shook his head, and made a very high evaluation of Yang Chendong.

Hu Changning did not expect his father to think so highly of Yang Chendong.Although he was somewhat dissatisfied in his heart, he had long been used to obeying his father's orders for a long time, which made him immediately give up the idea of ​​doing something. "Okay, the son will not do anything, but the father, how will he tell the emperor tomorrow morning?"

"Father Rong should think about it carefully." The news came too suddenly, so suddenly that Hu Yan couldn't fully digest it, let alone talk about how to deal with it.

Royal Palace.

Seeing Jin Ying appearing in front of him, Zhu Qiyu immediately stood up regardless of his status as the emperor, and asked anxiously, "What's the matter, what did you find out?"

"Returning to the emperor, I sent a lot of spies to prove that there is indeed a very elite army around the loyal and courageous lord. In order to avoid misunderstandings and to avoid misunderstandings between the two sides, our people did not get close to them. I have not seen what the new firearms look like. But one thing can be confirmed, that is, the new firearms do exist, and this has been confirmed by some things that happened.”

Jin Ying answered Zhu Qiyu's question while wiping the sweat from his forehead. It gave the impression that he had worked very hard to get the news in such a short time.But in fact, he had learned about the new firearms a long time ago, so he naturally knew that everything was true.

Hearing that there was indeed a new type of firearm, Zhu Qiyu saw the hope, "Is it impossible to get this firearm in our hands, and we can make it ourselves? If it is as powerful as it is said, with such a firearm, how can we use it?" Are you afraid of others?"

Human nature is greedy.After knowing the benefits of the new type of firearm, Zhu Qiyu came up with the idea of ​​it.Perhaps because of his status as the emperor, he would form an illusion that all the good things in the world should be his own.

Jin Ying had such an idea long ago, and paid a very heavy price for it. Naturally, she knew that this road would not work.Facing Zhu Qiyu's wishful thinking, he had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this will not be easy."

"What do you mean?" Zhu Qiyu's face showed displeasure when he heard that there was nothing to be done.

Jin Ying was stared at by the somewhat stern gaze, and her whole body tensed up, knowing that if she didn't explain the matter clearly, she was afraid that the emperor would hate her easily, or even if she failed, she would replace herself and find an obedient person to take power.

Eunuchs are the emperor's close ministers, and many things are naturally obtained first if they are close to the water. This is the main reason why they can grow and even have real power.

Similarly, what the eunuch relied on was nothing more than the emperor's favor.Once they lose this support, they will be nothing, and there will be nothing left of the bones that will be chewed by those ministers in an instant.

Knowing the truth, Jin Ying dared to offend Zhu Qiyu. Seeing the dissatisfaction on the emperor's face, he hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, think about it, those mercenaries saved Yingzong's life on the battlefield. , then how can he fail to see the value of these people. But if they are not used by them, they know that this matter will not be possible. As for those people who are brave enough to persuade them, I am afraid that they still need to investigate and understand. will know."

Jin Ying also had no choice but to carry out Yingzong.Perhaps in the eyes of the new emperor, only the former emperor brother can bring him some pressure.

really.After Jin Ying explained in this way, Zhu Qiyu's face became more normal.It seemed normal that he couldn't do things that even the emperor couldn't do.

The new firearms are not easy to handle, so the mercenary must be hard on him, so Zhu Qiyu had to focus on Yang Chendong.

Yang Chendong, who he had heard about a long time ago and who was named a loyal and courageous man by himself, attracted Zhu Qiyu's attention. "Aiqing, what do you think of Zhongdanhou?"

Hearing that the emperor's thinking changed so quickly, Jin Ying was stunned for a moment, but soon returned to normal, "Your majesty, a loyal and courageous man is very kind and has the ability to make money. He is a rare person." Talented people. But what about the ability to command troops? I don’t know.”

Jin Ying has bumped heads in Yang Chendong's hands more than once.Although it is said that the two have not dealt with each other much, it seems that he has never made any cheap money. If possible, he is really unwilling to provoke such a person.But since the emperor asked, he still had to tell the truth.

"Yes, this person is very capable of earning money. Whether it is Shenxianju or Tianwaitianwairen, it is said that he is an existence that makes money every day. Including the humble Yang Bao at the beginning, I heard that he can earn a lot of money As for Yinzi, such a person is a talent and should be used by me." Zhu Qiyu longed for capable people to help him.Thinking about how helpless the ministers were at the court this morning, he thought that maybe if Yang Chendong was around, he wouldn't be so cold.

Knowing that this was Zhu Qiyu's intention to reuse Yang Chendong, Jin Ying shook her head lightly, "Your Majesty, I said before that this loyal and courageous man is very capable of earning money, so he is an official and a scholar. It would be better to say that he is a businessman. But all businessmen are greedy for profit."

"It's okay, as long as he has a request, I'm afraid that if a person has no desires and needs, then I won't be at ease when I use it. How about this, Aiqing will immediately go to see Zhongdanhou and ask him about inviting him to the expedition. If he agrees If so, is it okay for me to hand over the command of the army to him?" Zhu Qiyu is really decisive, and he looks like he is not suspicious of employing people, but he is better than Yingzong Zhu Qizhen in this regard. Some, at least he wasn't that jealous.

When the emperor gave the order, Jin Ying knew that it would be useless to say anything else, so she nodded and agreed, "I obey the order."

Then, just after Yang Chendong and Hu Yan returned to Yangjiazhuang from the capital, Jin Ying rushed here on the back foot.

Today's Jin Ying is equivalent to the previous Wang Zhen, and there are few powerful people around him. His arrival naturally attracts Yang Chendong to greet him in person.

Greeting Jin Ying is just to give the other party a face. The so-called hello, hello, hello, everyone.Before there is enough troops to take over Da Ming peacefully, unless necessary, Yang Chendong doesn't want to put on an aggressive posture.

In the same side hall, Yang Chendong and Jin Ying were seated as guest and host.This has almost become a habit of Yang Chendong, but any eunuch or villain, no matter how powerful you are, he will not receive you in the main hall.Those who can be introduced to the main hall for reception are also people whom Yang Chendong values ​​and admires.

Naturally, Jin Ying wouldn't know about Yang Chendong's habit, if he knew, he might be furious right now.

Feidan didn't know, but this time he still had something to ask for. After seeing Yang Chendong, Jin Ying became very polite, with a smile on his face all the time, "There were too many business affairs in Japan in the past two days, so I didn't come to participate in the festival. I'm really sorry for the cowardly wedding ceremony."

"Where, how important it is for Eunuch Jin to be with the emperor, it's just a trivial matter for me to marry a wife." Yang Chendong laughed, not paying attention at all.

In fact, he was so happy about his newlyweds that he didn't ask Jin Ying for advice at all.

Sometimes, for the sake of the overall situation, Yang Chendong might accommodate others a bit, like on a happy day like a wedding, he really doesn't want to see people who are neither male nor female appear in front of him.Even some of Jin Yiwei's colleagues who were straight men came uninvited, and the only ones who really asked him to send invitations were the ministers in the court.

Jin Yingming knew this, but deliberately raised this question to express his dissatisfaction.He also wanted to use this to suppress Yang Chendong and let him take control of the following conversation.Unexpectedly, Yang Chendong didn't feel guilty at all, and covered it up on the grounds that marrying a wife was a trivial matter, and didn't even say basic polite words.

The little temptation made Jin Ying understand that the next negotiation would not be too smooth, and at the same time, he was more cautious, and the conversation turned from temptation to straight-forward, "Loyalty, I think you already know It happened early today, someone recommended you to lead the army to fight against Wala, to show our country's prestige."

You must already know the sentence. What Jin Ying expressed is your situation. I understand. I just went to Hu Shangshu’s house. I must have got news about such a major event. Now you can express your opinion.

Jin Ying didn't mean to beat around the bush. When Yang Chendong heard the words, he just smiled. That's fine. You don't need to do too much probing, but it can save you a lot of time. "Okay, since Eunuch Jin's words are so straightforward, then the Marquis is also expressing his opinion here. It is just a mere Oirat army. To be honest, I really don't put it in the eyes of the Marquis. I don't want to hide it from Eunuch Jin. The Marquis has already contacted the overseas mercenary headquarters, and the army they sent to support my Ming Dynasty should be in place soon."

Chapter 175 A secret appointment with Xiao Feng

"What? You have already contacted them in advance?" Jin Ying's face showed extreme shock when he heard the news.

"Yes. The ancients said that people without long-term considerations must have near-term worries. After seeing the strength of the Oirat cavalry outside the Tumu Fortress, Ben Hou knew that our Ming army might not be their opponent. So he planned ahead and went first. The mercenary sent a signal for rescue. What? Eunuch Jin is not blaming Ben Hou for his own assertion, is he?" Yang Chendong stared at Jin Ying with a vague smile in his eyes, as if he wanted to see through his inner thoughts generally.

"No, no, how could it be?" For some reason, Jin Ying felt a kind of pressure.This kind of pressure was only experienced when he first entered the palace, when he was serving Ming Chengzu Zhu Di.

"It's fine if you don't have it. In fact, it's nothing. With Eunuch Jin's ability, he must have known how much it would cost to hire these overseas mercenaries with advanced firearms. It would be best if the court could provide the money. Everything will be fine. The capital has nothing to worry about. But if there is any embarrassment, the Marquis will pay the money himself, but if that is the case, I am afraid they will not participate in the action against the Oala army. After all, let them protect me and my property and leave the capital. The cost is not a lot, and this Marquis can still afford it. But if the teams are to go to battle, the expenses that need to be consumed are really not what this Marquis can afford."

Yang Chendong, who has always been self-confident that he has a lot of money and doesn't know how to spend it, at this moment he voluntarily cried out that he was poor.Hearing these words in Jin Ying's ears, his face couldn't help but change again and again.

This is simply a threat.

If Daizong could not provide enough money for military expenses, Yang Chendong would leave the capital with his people, and perhaps he would go directly to Yingzong Zhu Qizhen who was making his home in Nanjing.If this was the case, Jin Ying didn't even dare to think about what kind of chain reaction it would cause.

He would never forget that it was precisely because of the opening of Shenxianju and Tianwaitian that people's hearts were stabilized and many officials stayed in the capital with peace of mind.Then if he leaves now, will those courtiers who are following the wind leave with him?

If the people were to leave, the officials would follow, and the capital would really be left with only a shell.I'm afraid that by that time, before the Oirat army arrives, the capital will be in chaos first.

"I know the matter, it's just a matter of great importance, and I still need to report back to the emperor to make a decision." Seeing Yang Chendong draw the road, Jin Ying knew that the initiative had changed hands, unless he was not going to use this person's strength to help , otherwise, they can only meet the conditions in order to protect themselves.

After finishing speaking, Jin Ying stood up, as if about to say goodbye. "Hold on, Eunuch Jin. Ben Hou hasn't finished talking yet? Military supplies are provided by the emperor and the court. Ben Hou is acting as an intermediary, and there is no benefit at all. The so-called powerlessness does not come early. There is still a little bit of Ben Hou's personal here." Conditions. Oh, it’s all written on this paper, and I’ve troubled Eunuch Jin to take it back to show the emperor, Benhou is here waiting for your good news.”

Whether he is smiling or content, at this moment, Yang Chendong handed a piece of white paper full of words to Jin Ying with a smile on his face.

This is blatantly seeking benefits from the imperial court and the emperor.How could this be done by a peaceful minister?

In normal times, Jin Ying would definitely ridicule the opponent first, and then a large number of Jinyiwei and Dongchang fanzi would surround this place, and then win the conviction.But now, there is a need for others, although there is anger in my heart, all I can do is forcefully suppress my dissatisfaction, and even force a smile and say: "Okay, the meaning of loyalty, this guild will truthfully report to the emperor Know it, and rest assured.”
