Come to Daming with military supplies

For Zhu Huixun, king of the Southern Ming Dynasty, his location was not satisfactory. To the north and east was the army of the Northern Ming Dynasty, to the west was the Mu family army of King Xiping, and to the south was the province of Vietnam where the mercenaries belonged.Surrounded on all sides, there is not even a safe passage to go out. If something happens, wouldn't it be life-threatening?

In order to solve this trouble, he must kill a bloody way.After much deliberation, he set his target on the land of Yunnan where King Xiping was.

This is also a way to do nothing. Relatively speaking, among the three forces surrounding him, King Xiping is the easiest to bully.In order to achieve the goal of hitting with one blow, Zhu Huixun mobilized an army of [-], and without saying hello, he dealt a heavy blow to Mu Bin, the Yunnan force.

It's a pity that because the news came out ahead of time, it didn't achieve the purpose of killing Mu Bin with one blow, but only severely injured Mu Bin.But just when King Nanming was thinking of attacking the whole of Yunnan in one go, Nanming sent troops. King Nanming, who had to fight on two sides for a while, quickly switched from offense to defense, and the battle was stalemate for a while.

At this time, General Hong Jin of the Vietnamese Army under the influence of mercenaries led his troops out of Lang Son, and watched the three parties fight together with the momentum of watching tigers fighting from a mountain.

The appearance of Hong Jin not only means that Yang Chendong behind him is paying attention to this matter, but at the same time he has to do a very important thing, which is to accept the people who were hurt during and after the war.They are not all comers, as long as they are Han Chinese, they will accept them and arrange their future life.

Compared to the last time when he spent tens of millions of taels of silver to buy the Han people in Beiming, this time Yang Chendong didn't pay any more, but just picked people up.

Facts have proved that every time a land is occupied, a large number of Han people are needed to occupy it. Although Yang Chendong still has more than 300 million Han people left in his hands after the last buying event, but compared to the expansion of his power, this number is obviously a bit small. Not enough.

Chapter 932 It's Difficult to Jingyou

Restoring the glory of the Han people and letting them go to the top of the world has always been Yang Chendong's unchanging goal in life.In order to achieve this goal, he needs more Han Chinese, and needs to scatter them all over the place like seeds.It is a very good way to seek more Han Chinese to vote during the war.

The mercenaries began to take in the Han Chinese and arranged for their food, clothing, housing and transportation. Under the arrangement of the two major intelligence agencies, the Security Bureau and the CIA, this matter quickly spread throughout the battlefield. For a time, many people were affected by the war and became homeless. The returning Han people, as if they had found the light, thought of a way to rush to Lang Son from where they were originally. They knew that once they could get there, all the problems before them would be solved. There will be hope again, and life will be guaranteed.

This practice of the mercenaries quickly attracted the attention of the Nanming Emperor, Nanming King, and Xiping King who were fighting.Seeing that they are not spending money to buy people, but relying on war to recruit people, they naturally disagree wholeheartedly, trying their best to obstruct them, and even maliciously released some rumors, saying that once they arrive in Lang Son, they will It is also difficult to have a way out, it is better to continue to stay in the hometown.

The three forces actually reached a joint intention on this matter, and the influence is naturally not small. Some people who did not want to leave their hometowns naturally chose to stay.But when the war continued and the people found that they had land but could not grow it, and when they had money and could not buy food, they wanted to leave.It’s just that due to the government’s prohibition, they began to adopt various methods, some escaped, and some spent money to buy roads from officers and soldiers. In a word, they must leave here. Will be spread to the place where lives are lost.

In this way, every day, people from all directions rushed to the entrance of Lang Son, where General Hong Jin had prepared a large amount of food and was waiting for them.As long as these people appear here, they are safe, and they are protected by him.

Since Hong Jin was backed by powerful mercenaries, none of the three parties wanted to provoke him, so this place really became a paradise, a safe place away from the flames of war.For a while, the number of people under Yang Chendong's influence also began to increase slowly. General Hong Jin would arrange soldiers to escort these Han people to the seaside pier belonging to Vietnam Province, where there was naturally a naval battle. Waiting for them and sending them to Chixian City, the safest place.

To say that Daizong Zhu Qiyu and Yingzong Zhu Qizhen are really brothers.War has already started here in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and preparations are also under way in the Northern Ming Dynasty. Daizong issued an edict to change the name of the Nuergandu area in the north to Liaodong, and at the same time recruit [-] cavalry from there for the Western Expedition.At the same time, they were still buying war horses in the Liaodong area, and the idea of ​​forming a powerful cavalry had already been announced to the world.

It's just that the number of war horses in the Liaodong area is also limited, and many of them have to be purchased from various forces in the grassland.And if you want to say who has the strongest power in Mongolia and who has the most horses in his hands, Shicheng is undoubtedly the first.

Shicheng was built by Yang Chendong with great efforts, and even speaking of the amount of personal energy invested, it was far better than Chixian City.In the latter case, he just took out a lot of things from the big warehouse and put forward some feasible suggestions. It is far from Shicheng, which was built by him.

Shicheng is the first Siam built by Yang Chendong on the grassland. It is full of political and symbolic significance. It is also an economic and cultural center and a model city built by him. It not only has the largest grassland commercial street, but also The largest vegetable base, grain base and war horse breeding base on the grassland.

As early as when the city was built, Yang Chendong spent a lot of money and bought a lot of stallions and horses at high prices, and hired many experienced horse breeders to breed and breed war horses.After two years, it finally achieved results. The number of war horses began to increase continuously, and it deservedly became the largest war horse base on the grassland.

In fact, the breeding of war horses is not difficult to say, as long as you have talents and materials, you can build them.Moreover, the climate of the grassland was originally suitable for the growth of war horses, but other people's failure to do this was not because they were not determined enough, but because they did not invest enough.

Just like when the Tang Dynasty was founded, because of enough investment, war horses were quickly cultivated, so that the Turks were defeated.Now with strong financial resources and the existence of mercenaries is a kind of deterrence, there is no need to worry about anyone coming to attack them. The scale of this war horse cultivation base is getting bigger and bigger, which also makes Beiming have to fight. their idea.

Naturally, even if Bei Ming had an idea, he would not dare to grab it.According to Shi Wanshan, the chief soldier of the Xuanfu, the Shicheng mercenaries are very powerful, and the combat power of just a new army is daunting, let alone Mobei City, which is thousands of miles away from Shicheng. , there are more than 2 mercenary cavalry there. Once there is danger here, the opponent can arrive in less than three days. result.

Since it is impossible to grab it by force, the only thing to consider is to spend and buy it.It's just that Beiming's money is spent on the training of millions of new troops and the development of guns and artillery. How can there be so much money to buy war horses?Besides, the price of a good war horse is not cheap.

To say that Beiming does have some talents, some ministers soon proposed to buy horses on credit, for example, they were willing to use the future expenses borrowed by mercenaries to offset; some people also proposed to borrow money from the Yang Family Bank in Beiming .Since businessmen can take loans, why can't Beiming?

Daizong Zhu Qiyu, who was having a headache, was overjoyed by these opinions, and immediately agreed.On the one hand, Jin Ying, the chief eunuch, was arranged to negotiate with the person in charge of the Yang Family Bank in Jingshi Zhong, and at the same time, he notified Deng Qiang, the guarding eunuch in Xuancheng, to go to Shicheng to negotiate in an expedited way of [-] miles.

In short, no matter what method you use, as long as you can get a war horse, it will be considered a great achievement.

In Zhu Qiyu's view, he is the emperor of a country, and he will definitely get what he wants within his own rule.But in front of the mercenaries, this assumption was broken.In a word, mercenaries recognize money but not people.

Deng Qiang was naturally frustrated, and City Lord Yu Mian's answer was very simple. Considering that everyone is Han Chinese, and Yang Chendong is a loyal and brave man who was personally appointed by the emperor, then everyone is not an outsider, and the horse can be sold to you, but you want to buy it? Come up with enough money, otherwise, nothing will be discussed.

It's even easier at Yang's Bank.You only borrowed 500 million taels of silver from us last year, and you haven’t paid back a penny, so how can you be lending money to you now?This is not in line with the law of commercial development and is not allowed.

As a result, the two aspects that had placed high hopes were hit hard. This result made Zhu Qiyu very frustrated and very angry, and felt that his face was dull.It's just that he doesn't have the courage of his ancestors, let alone the strength of his ancestors. Facing the mercenaries whose strength is not weaker than theirs, he has nothing to do.

And at this time, the envoys from North Korea came to Beiming to pay tribute as in previous years, and all the turmoil started from this tribute.

In [-] A.D., the king of Koryo sent Li Chenggui to attack the Nuergandusi area, and Li Chenggui took the opportunity to launch a coup.In [-] A.D., Li Chenggui deposed the King of Goryeo and made himself king. He changed the name of the country to Joseon and set its capital in Hanyang (now Seoul, South Korea). It was known as the Joseon Dynasty in history.

The Joseon Dynasty implemented a policy of advocating Confucianism and rejecting Buddhism.Adopting the principle of "majority" for Ming Dynasty is to surrender to Ming Dynasty, which is one of the non-conquest of the country declared by the Ming Taizu.

It is also a country without conquest, and the relationship between North Korea and Ming Dynasty is closer. This may be due to the geographical location. Since the establishment of North Korea, every king has to be recognized by Daming before he can ascend to the throne, and will be regarded as a king. orthodox.

The relationship between the two parties was so good that when North Korea sent envoys to pay tribute, the Northern Ming emperor would often meet him in face.

This time was no different from the past, as Daizong Zhu Qiyu still wanted to meet the North Korean envoy as usual.The difference is that this time the envoy was not sent by Li Hongwei, the sixth king of North Korea, but a subordinate of Li Hongwei's uncle Shouyang Dajun Li Yu.

At this time, North Korea is going through a difficult situation.

The so-called Guiyou Jingnan happened during the period of Duanjong of Joseon Dynasty. It was the event that Li Yu, the uncle of Duanjong of Joseon Dynasty, launched a coup to usurp the throne.Its essence is the fratricide incident of the Korean royal family, which is now in full swing.Regarding this, the Beiming court also received news from the Jinyiwei spies sent there, but considering that this is the internal affairs of other countries, and Beiming also has many headaches, it has never paid attention to it.

Maybe the Northern Ming court already knew about it, maybe they didn't know about it, and they didn't care. In short, the current situation in North Korea is becoming clearer, and it is Li Yu's family that has the upper hand.This time, Zheng Linzhi, who came as a special envoy, is the person Li Yu values ​​most.

Zheng Linzhi, just before coming to Beiming, was conferred by Li Yu as Lingyizheng. prime minister.

Such an important minister was sent here only for one thing, that is, once Li Yu had completely defeated Li Hongwei, he would ask Beiming to make Li Yu the new king in order to justify his name.

Zhu Qiyu, who was at the banquet, didn't care much about North Korea's affairs. Perhaps in his opinion, it wasn't a big deal. North Korea was just a small country, so he shouldn't pay attention to it.

But Zheng Linzhi, who feels good about himself, doesn't think so.Li Yu had told him when he came here that in order to gain Bei Ming's support, he could do some things to highlight their existence, such as the issue of mercenaries.

Chapter 933 You Can't Be Messed

During the banquet, seeing that Daizong Zhu Qiyu was not in high spirits, even when drinking, Zheng Linzhi asked tentatively in a low voice, "Great Emperor Ming, is there anything that bothers you? Why don't you say it, maybe the envoy can help out with ideas?"

"You?" Zhu Qiyu raised his head slightly, and Zhu Qiyu sneered.This didn't mean to look down on it intentionally, but it clearly meant to look down on it. In his eyes, North Korea had never been treated as a dish, and the other party would have no solution for problems that he couldn't even solve.

Zheng Linzhi was not angry at Zhu Qiyu's ignorance. He knew very well that his identity could not be seen by the other party.It's just that he came with a mission, even if he didn't want to talk too much.Seeing that Zhu Qiyu didn't intend to speak again, he took the initiative to say: "Great Emperor Ming, the envoy guessed wildly, are you having a headache because of the war horse?"

"Huh?" Zhu Qiyu, who didn't care about it before, looked more focused this time, and looked more formal when looking at Zheng Linzhi.

Seeing that he had successfully attracted the other party's attention, Zheng Lin felt happy for a while, and then continued: "If it is for this matter, the envoy really has a way."

"Oh." Zhu Qiyu was even more surprised this time, he never thought that a small subject of the country would have some insight.In the past, maybe he wouldn't have cared about it, but now, with the mentality of going to the doctor in a hurry, he nodded and said: "Okay, then let's go to the palace for a talk after the banquet."

"Thank you, the great Ming Emperor." Zheng Linzhi nodded happily, he was excited that he had taken the first step.Thinking that this time he could win the respect of the Ming Emperor, then there would be no twists and turns or problems in the matter of Li Yu being crowned king in the future.

Because of Zheng Linzhi's unexpected behavior, the banquet seemed to be extraordinarily enthusiastic, especially the emperor, whose face had been grim for a long time, seemed to have forgotten his troubles at this moment, and there was a little more smile on his face.

The other important ministers didn't know the reason, so they could only make various guesses in their hearts.After the banquet, Zheng Linzhi was still sent back to the post station by the carriage, but the others didn't know that he got off the carriage halfway and came straight to the palace.

The mercenary, now it should be said that the five-star army is growing stronger, and Zhu Qiyu has a strong sense of crisis in his heart, so he dare not trust anyone in such a meeting.It was just that Jin Ying, the chief eunuch, was in charge of everything. After seeing Zheng Linzhi in the palace, Zhu Qiyu's expression had long since returned to calm.

"The envoy has seen the great Ming Emperor." As soon as he entered the side hall, Zheng Linzhi knelt down on the ground with a pious expression on his face.

"Minister, there is no need to be too polite, let's talk about what you and I talked about before." Zhu Qiyu stretched out his hand and made a gesture of peace.

"Thank you, Emperor." Zheng Linzhi slowly got up from the ground, and then spoke his way. "If you want war horses, the most and the best place is naturally in Shicheng, but it's a pity that they have forgotten who gave everything they have. There are no kings in the world, and what the five-star army is doing is really rebellious."

"Okay, envoy, I won't bother you to judge these things, let's talk about your solution." Zhu Qiyu said with a displeased face.The Five Star Army has already disobeyed his orders, which is naturally a provocation to the imperial power. He is unhappy, so why would he bother others to talk about it in front of him?

After Zheng Linzhi was reminded by this small point, his expression showed a bit of nervousness. He knew that he had to get some dry goods after all, otherwise he was afraid that the Emperor Ming would blow him away. "Your Majesty, although there are many warhorses in Shicheng, and it can even be said that they are strong and strong, they have a fatal flaw, that is, everything they need must be transported by sea, and as long as he can cut off his road, it will be equal to He held down his seven inches, and what will happen then will not be left to His Majesty the Emperor?"
