Come to Daming with military supplies

"That's right. I heard that [-] soldiers and more than [-] civilians were taken prisoner. How could King Tan not be upset about such a big matter." Kuang Ye said as if sighing, and then said: " I heard that even now, Japanese samurai still appear from time to time between Tianjin Wei and the capital, and Mr. Zhongdan is going to pass there during his trip, have you ever met him?"

Yang Chendong didn't express any dissatisfaction with Kuang Ye's calling Emperor Daizong King Yi.Originally, Zhu Qiyu was the King of Yi, and if there hadn't been civil changes, he would not have become the emperor.It is not surprising that Kuang Ye, who followed Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, would not admit this.Just asking about those Japanese samurai, and asking whether I have seen it, is a bit interesting. "No, my father-in-law was lucky and didn't meet him."

"Hehe, yes, Duke Zhongdan's luck has always been very good. Things like saving Yingzong, retreating from Wala, and building the bank really went smoothly, right?" When the last word was said, Kuang Ye When looking at Yang Chendong, his eyes suddenly became much sharper.

Feeling the icy coldness of that gaze, he even had the intention to see through people's hearts, but Yang Chendong smiled without even raising his eyelids, "Well, God is good to me."

With an understatement, a calm and confident smile flashed across Yang Chendong's face, all of this in Kuang Ye's eyes made him feel unreal.

Kuang Ye is not young anymore. He is second only to Hu Ming in the imperial court, and he is also in his 60s. He even had a lot of dealings with Yang Rong, one of the three Yangs, but even at that time , he only had a hint of respect, but he never felt powerless like facing Yang Chendong.

The young man in front of him was only in his early twenties, but he felt that he was even more difficult to deal with than his father, Yang Rong. It seemed that no matter how he tried to test and stimulate the other party, he would be impregnable with iron walls, impenetrable by needles, Water can't get in.

Under the gazebo, it suddenly became quiet. At this moment, only the breeze flashed in front of them. Of course, they were also weighing each other's words in their hearts. There was a huge panting in their chests, and their minds were running fast.

"Haha, hahaha, Mr. Zhongdan is indeed very lucky and more talented. What you did in front of the gate of the Yang Family Academy "Yangjiazhuang Xue, I have read it very seriously. It is really majestic and deafening." .But I don’t know how to interpret the sentence “Counting romantic figures and looking at the present”? "

Although it is said that because of Yang Chendong's relationship, Ming was divided into the south, and many officials and soldiers belonged to two courts, but one thing remains unchanged, that is, the poems that scholars like are still the same.

Back then, when the song Yangjiazhuang·Xueyi was spread to Nanjing, the capital of the Southern Court, it caused an uproar.When many people are lamenting the majesty of this word and being amazed by the words in it, they will inevitably think about the environment and inner thoughts of the author of this word, Yang Chendong, who made such a sung song. of poetry.

Some people even began to study the specific meaning of this word, especially the sentence "Counting a romantic person", looking at the present, there are many explanations.

For example, people who are pro-British and hostile to Daizong interpreted that Yang Chendong was flattering Zhu Qiyu, in other words, the legitimacy, legitimacy and rationality of Zhu Qiyu's superiority, that he is a romantic figure today, and Zhu Qizhen no.

There are also some envious, jealous, and hated people who explain that this sentence means that Yang Chendong underestimates the scholars in the world, which is simply a manifestation of his self-esteem and aloofness.

There are also some people who fear that the world will not be chaotic, saying that this means someone wants to replace him, and the implication is to describe Yang Chendong as a rebel like Cao Cao.

Among these kinds of remarks, Kuang Ye was more inclined to the latter, but he didn't tell anyone about this.

As the minister of the Ministry of War, he knew the soldiers, and when he saw the calm performance of Leng Feng on the battlefield, he was immediately frightened.Such an excellent military bravery, I am afraid that if you pick one at random, you can be competent as a commander, even a centurion, or even a higher-level general.But they are indeed willing to work under Yang Chendong, what does this mean?

Chapter 339 Tong Qiao's Fright

Although there were rumors that those people were mercenaries, they were hired because Yang Chendong was willing to spend a lot of money.But this kind of reason may be believed by others, but on Kuang Ye, he would never believe it anyway.

Not for anything else, just because he has led soldiers before and knows the importance of elite soldiers.At least in front of him, if there is such an elite soldier, no matter what, he will not send it to others, even if the other party offers a high price.

Not to mention, with such elite soldiers, what kind of money can't be earned?Why do you need to hire them?

I had this kind of thought at the very beginning, but because of the grace of saving someone's life, it is naturally not easy to criticize something in person or behind the scenes.But with the passage of time, these elite mercenaries have been following Yang Chendong's side, and this suspicion has become more and more serious.

What I said just now was nothing more than a test and confirmation.But unfortunately, he didn't get a good result, which made him a little disappointed. At the same time, he also wondered, could it be that the other party had nothing to say, so he wanted to pass the test lightly?

While Kuang Ye was still thinking about this, Yang Chendong had already spoken, "Master Kuang, do you mind if I tell you a story?"

"Oh? All ears." Kuang Ye didn't know what the other party meant, but still agreed with a smile out of politeness.Now, with Yang Chendong's talent, it must be that ordinary stories should be quite exciting in his mouth.

Seeing Kuang Ye's agreement, Yang Chendong first smiled politely, and then said lightly with his lips parted: "Once upon a time, there was a scholar who was too busy studying at home, so he wanted to take a walk on the street. Unexpectedly, he ran into an injured The fainted man, out of kindness, saved him and found a doctor for treatment. Not long after, the man recovered, and when he left, he said he wanted to repay his kindness."

When he said this, the corner of Yang Chendong's mouth was still slightly curled up, giving the impression that he was recalling something interesting, but only he knew that what he was laughing at was the absurdity and nonsense of this story, all because of this fact It's a story, a made-up story.

"The big man said that he wanted to repay his kindness. Of course, the scholar didn't care. It was just a handy job, and he didn't take it seriously. But who knew that soon after, the big man fulfilled his promise. He not only sent a lot of gold and silver, but also sent a lot of gold and silver. Many people came to protect the scholar, and said that the scholar had saved his life, so seeing the scholar is like seeing yourself."

At this point in the story, Yang Chendong suddenly closed his mouth, and after a few breaths, he said again: "From now on, this scholar will naturally get wind and rain. Thinking about it now , what else is it if God is not taking care of him?"

The story was finally finished, and Kuang Ye also fell into silence.

From the beginning of the story, he thought of something, until the end of the story, he finally understood that this so-called story is actually a fact, the scholar must be Yang Chendong, and the person he rescued must also be a mercenary The leader is the leader.

That being said, everything makes sense.This is also the main reason why mercenaries can be used by Yang Chendong.But is this thing real?If the leader of the mercenary army is so powerful, how could he appear in front of Yang Chendong in a wounded posture?This seems a little unreasonable.

Now that today's talk has reached this point, of course Kuang Ye wanted to ask clearly, so he asked what was on his mind.

"Lord Kuang, that's a good question. At that time, the scholar was also a little confused, but it wasn't until he learned from those elite soldiers that the big man who was rescued was plotted against by someone because he robbed the position of the boss. , and then fled all the way to the city where the scholar is. After he recovered from his injury, he went back and snatched everything back, and the matter was as simple as that."

Yang Chendong spread his arms and looked at Kuang Ye with a smile.Since he was going to tell a story, how could he not think about the front and back?

The story is not exciting, but it can be regarded as the past, so that at this moment Kuang Ye didn't know what to say.Do you want to continue questioning?But people have explained it to you?If you are asking seriously, you may be suspicious of nonsense.

Sure enough, without waiting for Kuang Ye to continue, Yang Chendong said: "Lord Kuang, to be honest, I have never told anyone about this before, and you are the first one, so if possible, please keep it a secret for me." .”

After saying this, Kuang Ye was completely speechless.He put on such a confiding appearance, and he has saved his life, so what else can he ask?After all, he is also a person who has read the book, so he might not even lose his basic face.

At this moment, the only thing he can do is to nod in appreciation, "Thank you, Mr. Zhongdan, for letting me know, this old man is reckless."

"Hey, Mr. Kuang, don't say that. Everyone is curious. If you were the Duke of your own country, you might ask. It's okay, it's okay, haha, drink tea, drink tea." Yang Chendong said with a big laugh Standing, putting on a look of empathy.

Outside the Chang family courtyard.

Tong Qiao aggressively led people to surround the place, and then commanded his soldiers to approach him step by step. It seemed that a big battle was inevitable for him. Maybe it wouldn't take long, and there might be dead bodies everywhere here. .

But at the moment when everyone was extremely nervous, the originally closed door of Chang's Bieyuan suddenly opened from the inside, and then a strong man appeared in front of everyone.

"Prepare to charge and stop! Stop for me!" Tong Qiao, who was about to give orders, was originally ready for the soldiers to charge and kill, but when he saw the person who appeared, his mouth opened into an O shape, and then When he came down, he yelled at his subordinates loudly, as if he was afraid that any one who didn't have eyes would attack suddenly.

The sudden call to stop stunned the high morale soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.At this time, Tong Qiao had already dismounted and trotted away. When he ran to the gate in five steps and three steps, when he saw that the person in front of him was indeed Guan Yingyuanwailang, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, "Guan grown ups."

"General Tong, what do you mean?" Guan Ying clasped his fists in return, then pointed at the Ming soldiers who had already lined up outside the gate.

This question instantly changed Tong Qiao's expression.I thought that there were villains here, and I had to ask the prefect of Hangzhou to ask for help. I thought that since I had something to do with the Chang family, it would be a good opportunity to fight the autumn wind. Wouldn't it be a trivial matter to ask for tens of thousands of taels of silver casually.

Wan did not expect that Guan Ying would appear here.Although this person said that his official rank was not as high as his own, the power he held was indeed enormous, and he belonged to the kind of existence that could not be offended.

In particular, he had heard people say that this Guan Ying was the favorite student of Kuang Ye, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and the guards were under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. In a cold sweat.

"What's the matter? Is the weather very hot? Why did General Tong sweat so much this time?" Guan Ying's face was still very serious, making him not seem to be concerned when he said these words, but more like questioning What.

"This..." Tong Qiao rolled his eyes, knowing that it would be a fool's act to conceal the facts at this time, and immediately gritted his teeth and confessed to Qi Bushen, "It's because the prefect of Hangzhou Qi said that there are thieves here, so I let this The general led troops into the city to suppress them."

"Rebellious thieves? Did you disturb the neighbors? Will you want to occupy the city? Will it cause chaos?" Guan Ying asked one sentence after another.According to the regulations of the Ministry of War, if there are thieves in the city and cause great chaos, the nearby guards and capital guards have the right to mobilize troops into the city.On the contrary, even if the local officials asked, they had to enter the city without orders. This was originally a means of restraining the army and preventing them from doing anything out of the ordinary.

Based on this foundation, Guan Ying asked these questions aloud.

Guan Ying went about his business, Tong Qiao's face turned pale, at this moment he hated Qi Bushen to death.If he hadn't made the matter very serious, and said that the matter of entering the city would be lucrative, and after the matter was completed, he would just grab a few people and report it as a mess, so he wouldn't have the guts to lead the army Soldiers have entered the city.It's good now, I didn't reap the benefits, but I was caught by someone else. It is conceivable that if the matter is not handled well, I am afraid that my official position will be lost soon.Although the person in front of him is not as high as him in rank, he is in charge of the assessment. If he doesn't understand the matter, he may be locked up for questioning after he returns to Beijing.

If you do something wrong, you will be punished. Tong Qiao is also a bachelor. He couldn't find a good reason, so he lowered his head, "Master Guan, I acted recklessly. I listened to other people's words. I was wrong."

When Tong Qiao admitted his mistake so straightforwardly, a gratified smile flashed across Guan Ying's face. In any case, knowing a mistake can correct it, and there is nothing good about it. "Let the soldiers go back, General Tong and follow me in."

Thinking that he was going to discuss terms with him in private, Tong Qiao had a glimmer of hope in his eyes, and immediately agreed with him, and then let the accompanying soldiers withdraw, leaving only two soldiers waiting outside.While he was still thinking about what terms Tong Qiao would discuss with him, and whether he would agree to both, the two of them had already arrived at the gazebo in the courtyard of the mansion, and Tong Qiao, who was about to continue admitting his mistake, finally saw the clothes in long clothes. Kuang Ye with the gown seat there.

Seeing him in the first day of junior high school, Tong Qiao thought he was dazzled, and wiped his eyes quickly twice. When he recognized that the other party was indeed Kuang Ye, Minister of the Ministry of War, he was completely stunned.It would be better if only Guan Ying knew about his own troop deployment. Although the other party has a lot of authority, after all, the official position is there. If Shangshu met, things would be different. He was just looking after his own superior, and when his upper lip touched his lower lip, he was afraid that his future would be completely ruined.

3 Chapter Forty

"Plop!" With his knees on the ground, Tong Qiao fell to his knees in front of Kuang Ye.
