Come to Daming with military supplies

It is not difficult for a scholar to write a battle report, but right now, the same thing in his eyes is really a headache.

He didn't want to worry the emperor and Kuang Shangshu, but he couldn't go against his will to report the war. In desperation, Guan Ying wrote down on the white paper with pain marks, today is peaceful, the three armies have not moved, and everything is as usual.

After writing these, he called a personal attendant and asked him to report this to the post station.

After finishing these seats, Guan Ying stood in front of the window and moved her waist and limbs, which had not fully healed.After being taught a lesson by Yang Erhaosheng seven days ago, he endured the huge pain in his waist and returned to the mansion, and then he lay down for three consecutive days.Even the battle report was written on the bed.

After three days, he could get out of bed and walk. He was looking forward to Yang Chendong's next move, but after waiting for another four days, there was still no movement. The noise started.

Standing in front of the window, thinking about what Yang Chendong said to him, Guan Ying's expression became more and more confused.

He admitted that after being taught a lesson that day, what Yang Chendong said was not wrong.Since it is a military aircraft, of course the more confidential it is, the better.After all, Guangdong has lost five big cities in a row. If there are no spies from the bandit army in the government, I am afraid that he himself will not believe it.

Chapter 362 Su Man'er's Details

But just to prevent the spies from eavesdropping on the military situation, instead of standing still, will this battle be won?Could it be that Yang Chendong came here just for fun, or did he really have a plan in mind and made all kinds of arrangements long ago?When he thought of the current Ganzhou mansion, the Ming army was still there except for the Guangzhou Thousand Guards brought by Mr. Lu Youfu, and the other Ming troops had been sent out, even a lot of mercenaries had been sent out, so he felt relieved. Ann, maybe this brave man has already made arrangements.

Guan Ying was still comforting himself, thinking that Yang Chendong could stay in Ganzhou so peacefully, he must have been prepared.While he was thinking, there was suddenly the sound of hurried footsteps outside the study, followed by a personal voice, "General, Mr. Lu is here, and he said he has important military matters, so he must see you."

"Important military situation?" After hearing this, Guan Ying's expression became tense, "Okay, this general will pass right away."

In the main hall of the Guan Mansion, Guan Ying saw Lu Youfu who looked anxious. "Lord Lu, why are you so anxious, but has Jia's 50 taels of silver been delivered?"

The reason why Guan Ying mentioned the 50 taels of silver was because the Imperial Envoy's mansion had released a message that when the Jia family's silver was delivered, when would the adults see the guests, otherwise, the sky would fall , and don't bother.

Guan Ying naturally did not believe such a statement.In the event of a military emergency, if Yang Chendong still fails to do anything, it will be a serious dereliction of duty. At that time, his status as an imperial envoy will be removed. Not only that, the emperor and Kuang Shangshu will not spare this person lightly, right? .

Knowing that this was an excuse, Guan Ying still hoped to settle the matter earlier, after all the matter was resolved, Yang Chendong would have no reason not to see them, so he could do his part and urge him.

"General Guan, it's not that Jia's money has been delivered, I'm already urging it there. It's the news from Zhaoqing Mansion that the bandit leader Huang Yuliang has brought an army of [-] to Guangzhou Mansion. The situation is critical." Lu Blessed said with an anxious look on his face.

"Is there such a thing? When did it happen?" It was the first time Guan Ying heard such a battle report, and he couldn't help saying with some doubts.

"There's nothing wrong with it. I sent it back from the eyeliner I arranged among the bandits. I'm sure I'll be able to send the official battle report later." Lu Youfu said with a firm attitude.

Now that the bandits can plant informants in the government, it is only reasonable for Lu Youfu, as the chief envoy of Guangdong, to plant informants among the opponents.Guan Ying no longer doubted this point, but nodded, "This is a major matter, so I have to bother Mr. Lu and this general to see Mr. Imperial Envoy."

"Should be, should be." Lu Youfu nodded.This time he came here to persuade Guan Ying and himself to meet Yang Chendong.He had already heard about the fact that General Guan broke into the Imperial Envoy's mansion seven days ago and was beaten afterwards.Thinking that Guan Ying is the celebrity in front of Kuang Ye Shangshu, even Yang Chendong who is such a character will be beaten at will, he really doesn't have the guts to go to the house.

Guan Ying agreed, and after having a companion, Lu Youfu also gained confidence.Immediately, the two of them left the house together and went straight to Yang Chendong's place.

The two of them rode a horse and sat in a sedan chair, and brought a group of relatives to the outside of the temporary Yang Mansion in the city, but there was no surprise that the door was closed here.Yang Wu, the gatekeeper, directly stopped the two of them, and when he heard that they had important battle reports to report, he shook his head, "My lords, I'm really sorry, you also know the temper of the Duke , even if it is said that Jia’s money will not be delivered, no one is allowed to disturb him, even if the sky falls, he will not be seen.”

"Brother, please inform me that the military situation is indeed urgent. Once something happens, I'm afraid you won't be able to take care of it." Seeing that a doorman could block him, Lu Youfu was displeased and threatening Meaning said.

"There is nothing I can't bear. Since the Duke of the Kingdom asked me to guard the gate, I must abide by the set rules. Please go back, both of you." Yang Wu didn't feel angry in the slightest because of Lu Youfu's words. On the contrary, he still said this with a smile on his face, but this smile, at this moment, seems to be so unbearable.

After being shut down, Lu Youfu had no choice but to look at Guan Ying for help, hoping that he would speak up.If it doesn't work, just try it out.

It's just that Guan Ying's performance was really disappointing. Seeing that Yang Wu blocked him, he turned around and left, and then the voice came out, "Okay, if you can, please report to the imperial envoy. The money will arrive soon, but the front line is indeed an emergency, if something happens to the Guangzhou government, no one will be able to bear such responsibility."

"Go slowly, don't send it off." Yang Wu seemed to have not heard Guan Ying's words, and still smiled.Then his eyes fell on Lu Youfu, pretending to be puzzled, as if to say, what's the matter, isn't this lord going away?

"Hmph!" Lu Youfu saw the meaning in Yang Wu's eyes, and threw his sleeves away angrily.In any case, he is also the chief envoy of Guangdong, a second-rank official of the imperial court, and a general presence in the frontier.Who would dare to show him face like this?

Just considering that Yang Chendong's method was too rough, in the end he still didn't have the guts to break through the door, so he had to catch up with Guan Ying who was about to leave angrily, "General Guan, why don't we report the matter to the imperial envoy?" Does your lord know?"

"Don't report it for now. Let's find a way to send Jia's money over first." Guan Ying shook her head lightly, then turned to look at Yang's residence, then turned and left.He has already decided that after returning home, he will write a battle report and refer to Yang Chendong for a good one.

The inner house of the Yang Mansion.

Yang Wu came here after seeing off Guan Ying and Lu Youfu, met Yang Chendong, and reported what happened outside.

"Okay, I see, you did a good job." Yang Chendong first smiled, and then said with satisfaction.After Yang Wuhuan happily left, he looked at Yang San in the study and said, "It seems that they have arranged an eyeliner among the bandits, and the news is no more late than ours."

"Yes, it should be written by Lu Youfu. It seems that this person is not confused." Yang San nodded in agreement.Just an hour ago, he had already received a report from the inside line of the gangsters, and immediately reported to Yang Chendong to know.This is also the reason why Yang Chendong still dared not see Lu Youfu and Guan Ying knowing that they had to come to report on the military situation.

"It's just that you don't get confused. There are limited troops and not much military resources. Even if you want to do something, there are inevitably too many people who are holding back up and down. In the end, it is still difficult to stretch your hands and feet." Yang Chendong commented on Lu Youfu's weakness, or it can be It is said that it is the weakness of the whole Nanming.

No one would believe that the majestic Ming Dynasty had no talents.It's just that due to the constraints of the environment, it is difficult for capable people to do anything.It's like if young people don't go through some hardships and get enough qualifications, how can they be entrusted with important tasks?

When you really get famous, you are probably already an old man. At that time, the edges and corners of struggle have been smoothed out, and your ambition is not so high, so you will naturally learn the principle of vassalage. When they are in their early years, they will also get used to suppressing them. This is a cycle. In this way, one generation is not as good as the next generation, and the dynasty will naturally decline more and more, and it is not far from a change of dynasty.

Sighing that the Ming Dynasty was going downhill from prosperity, Yang San who was standing on the other side said cautiously, "Master, we have found some unexpected things about Miss Su."

"Unexpected situation? Tell me." Yang Chendong became interested. He had always been curious that Su Man'er would appear by his side.Since the other party is the No. [-] oiran by the Qinhuai River, money will naturally not be lacking, and if he is willing, it is not difficult to marry into the family of a prince or minister and become a concubine.

But she appeared by his side by accident, and she just stayed there and refused to leave. Why is this?

Through observation, Yang Chendong found that the other party didn't admire him very much, which could be felt from the first meeting.If it wasn't worship, it would be even more unreasonable for him to act like this. That's why he ordered the security bureau to investigate this woman's origin, and even emphasized that it should start from her origin and the people she came into contact with.

"Yes." Yang San nodded in agreement first, and then said in a very careful voice, "Master, according to your instructions, we will start with Miss Su's background first, and it is from here that we found out the differences. Although there are many rumors about the other party's life experience, we finally found out that Miss Su came from a family of officials after great efforts. His grandfather was the left servant of the Nanjing Six Departments of Rites. , very talented."

"Su Cheng?" Recalling the name in his mind, Yang Chendong nodded, "That's right, I know Su Cheng, he is indeed talented, and he was also appreciated by Ming Chengzu Zhu Di."

"Exactly. We also found out that this Su Cheng originally hoped to be transferred from Liudu, Nanjing, to Beijing as an official in Beijing. But maybe it was because his performance was too amazing. Not long after, he was found out for taking bribes. He was convicted of embezzlement and died in prison not long after, and then his family was assigned. Miss Su was replaced by this family, but she was lucky, she was not in Su's house at that time, but went to the countryside, so He escaped a catastrophe. By the way, the person who accused Su Cheng at that time is now Liu De, Minister of Rites of Nanming."

"Liu De? Interesting." Hearing this, Yang Chendong smiled slightly.

Chapter 363 The imperial envoy can do it now

"I have found so much for the time being. After all, Liu De is now a minister of the Ministry of Rites with a high position and authority. It is not so easy to check. Our people will hurry up and ask the young master to wait for a while." Seeing that Yang Chendong was satisfied, Yang San thought in his heart I breathed a sigh of relief.Yang Chendong didn't say anything about Su Man'er, but he definitely paid attention to it in his heart, otherwise, this girl would not be able to stay in Yang's residence long ago, which also put a lot of pressure on Yang San.

However, when Liu De found out about the matter, he stopped.One is because the other party has a lot of power, and if you are not careful, you may be targeted. Second, after so many years, many things have already changed, and it will be very difficult to find out.The two levels of difficulty were so small that Yang San felt the pressure increase tremendously.

"Well, the matter is indeed not easy to investigate, but we still need to investigate, and as soon as possible. In this way, we are giving 10 taels of silver to the Nanjing branch, so that they can clarify the matter." Yang Chendong understood Yang San's embarrassment.It's just that the Security Bureau is supposed to do what others can't. As long as the investment is huge, I believe that anything can be solved.Not to mention, Su Cheng was the left servant of the Ministry of Rites back then, and he was also a third-rank official. If he wanted to move such a high-ranking official, it would have to be done by one or two people working together. As long as he worked hard, he should be able to find some clue.

The addition of 10 taels of silver shows that Yang Chendong attaches great importance to this matter, and Yang San immediately nodded heavily, "Don't worry, young master, I will arrange it right away and strive for an early result."

Guan Ying and Lu Youfu hit a wall and returned.After some discussion, the two adopted a roundabout policy, that is, to find a way to do Jia's affairs first, so that it is reasonable for Yang Chendong to find no excuse not to see them.

Lu Youfu was in a hurry and gave an order to have his own cronies to handle this matter.In order to protect themselves, the Jia family did not have the protection of an official figure like Jia Ping. When Lu Youfu's pressure came, they could only let him be slaughtered.

Speaking of which, the Jia family in Guangdong can be considered a big family, but the main focus is on business.In Daming, the status of businessmen has always been low, like a piece of fat, any powerful person can come up and take a bite at any time.They saw this weakness clearly, so they worked hard to cultivate talents, and only then did they have a general like Jia Ping. Although he was only a fourth-rank military officer, he was still a member of the officialdom after all, and he was able to do something. Gained some confidence.

It's a pity that this confidence was slaughtered because of Yang Chendong's appearance.After losing support in this way, the Jia family quickly succumbed when Lu Youfu put pressure on them. The 50 taels of silver were sent to Ganzhou just five days later.

The money finally arrived, and when Lu Youfu was excited, he asked Guan Ying to go straight to Yang's mansion together. They wanted to see if there was any excuse for the imperial envoy not to see him and the others this time?

To their surprise, when they showed up in front of Yang's mansion with their entourage, the Yang Wu they saw last time had changed into a smiling face, and opened the mansion door wide, a picture of warm welcome. look.

"Huh!" Seeing such a reality, Lu Youfu couldn't help but snorted, and then walked into Yang's mansion with Guan Ying one after the other, and came to the main hall.

After a while, Yang Chendong walked in under the protection of Hu Mang and Yang Er.As soon as he entered here, he smiled and clasped his fists, "One tael of silver is not bad, this is really hard work for you two." Yang Chendong once served as the Hussar General of the Northern Ming Dynasty, and that was the position of a military officer of the second rank, and he himself was a member of the Ming Dynasty. With the Duke of Loyalty, and the fact that he is an imperial envoy at this time, he was so polite, the two of them had no choice but to stand up and clap their fists in return. "The imperial envoy is really too polite."

"Seats, please. Sigh, when it comes to money, this imperial envoy is also very helpless. I'm afraid you all know that this time I came to Guangdong to quell the chaos under the order of the emperor, but the treasury didn't give us a tael of silver. It is said that the three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first. What should I do with this imperial envoy? Fortunately, with the help of Kuang Shangshu, I reported it to the emperor. The imperial decree allows me to raise money by myself. They can all be taken away together, hehe, this is really the great kindness of the emperor, and he is sympathetic to our generation. Although Jia Ping was a general of the Ming Dynasty, he was defeated by the rebellious army and lost the city. Two silver coins, you two, don't you have any opinions?"

It seems to be explaining, but in fact, Yang Chendong told Lu Youfu and Guan Ying through these words that he had a purpose to follow in taking the money, and you didn't move even if you opposed it.And things like this could happen anytime in the future.
