Come to Daming with military supplies

"Special envoy?" Listening to Lonzi's introduction, all the ministers looked at me and I looked at you, and then everyone had a clear look on their faces. It seemed that the national teacher had indeed hooked up with the mercenaries.

It was just speculation just now, but now it can be confirmed, which is not beyond everyone's expectations.Now everyone is more concerned about what kind of power this special envoy has, and will it bring them benefits?

So soon these ministers became quiet, and then one of them asked aloud, "It turned out to be Mr. Special Envoy, but I don't know what kind of benefits you have given to the national teacher to make him work so hard for the loyal and brave man? "

This was originally a temptation, and even if Skylark didn't answer them next, these people couldn't say anything.Just to delay time, Skylark still decided to answer this question. "Do you want to know that much? Well, the special envoy will tell you that Mr. Zhongdan gave 500 million taels of silver to Mr. Guoshi. I wonder if this is enough?"

"What? 500 million taels!"

"There are so many. If I were the national teacher, I'm afraid I wouldn't refuse."

"Yes, yes, if you give it to me, I'm afraid the money will never be spent in a lifetime, it must be enough."

Listening to Yunque's answer, the ministers immediately became excited, and some even expressed their envy for the national teacher without restraint, regardless of their appearance.Some even said that enough is enough, wishing that they were the ones that the special envoy took a fancy to.

Everyone was chattering, which delayed for a long time.Finally, an older and highly respected minister coughed lightly, "What are you doing? Have you all forgotten your identities? Ah!"

The scolding immediately made many courtiers' faces burn, but such embarrassment just passed away in an instant.With current interests, who of them will retreat.

Unexpectedly, the elder who scolded them just now suddenly changed his voice, "Mr. Special Envoy, in fact, we can also help the mercenaries, but I don't know what kind of benefits it will give us?"

"Pfft!" Upon hearing this, Skylark almost spit out the tea he just drank.I have really seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people.

It can also be seen from this point that it seems that the courtiers of Lancang Kingdom are not treated well.In fact, not only the Lancang Kingdom, but also the Jiaozhi Kingdom, and even the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty were not treated very well.

Especially Daming.From the period of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, the treatment and salary of courtiers were not high.As a result, a large number of corrupt officials appeared in the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, so that they could not be killed at that time.A very strange thing happened, that is, the number of juren admitted that year reached 360 four, but the number of corrupt officials convicted in the second year also reached 360 four.In other words, all the Juren in the previous year were corrupt after becoming officials.

This is not to say that the hearts of the people are insufficient, it is really because the salaries are too low, so low that all the officials can't support themselves and all the subordinates. Even though they know the possible consequences of being greedy for ink, they still have to do this.The final result was that there were not enough officials in the early Ming Dynasty.All this was changed later in the hands of several other Ming emperors.But even so, the salary is only enough to live on. If there is no foreign money, if you want to make a fortune from the official salary, you should never count on it.

In comparison, Yang Chendong is much more generous.The annual salary he offered to the officials was not to mention supporting the family, even living a prosperous life would not be a problem.Of course, anti-corruption is also very strict.Even though they have given you such good treatment and allowed you to have so much power, but you still want more, then I'm sorry, I have to take down greedy people like you and replace them with others.

Chapter 591 The Big Picture Is Determined

Having said that, all the ministers of the Lancang Kingdom looked at Yunque expectantly, their greed and demands for benefits were undoubtedly exposed.

Skylark looked at those greedy faces, and wanted to ask at this moment, "Are you all - are you shameless?" But he still didn't say the words, but shook his head very tactfully, "No, we don't need it anymore. With other people's efforts, Vientiane City is already owned by mercenaries. So, if you want money, if you cooperate well, you can still save your life."

The expectation on his face was just to save his life.Suddenly everyone was unhappy.

What do you mean, we are the courtiers of the Lancang Kingdom anyway, and we have a lot of power in our hands, okay?Even if it's not like the national teacher became the commander-in-chief of civil servants, he can't get 500 million taels of silver, but it's worth 100 million taels or a few hundred thousand taels of silver.Now a big guy doesn't give it, just saying that it can save our lives. Do you really think that we can't be pinched, do you really think that we have no strength when we unite?

The faces of the angry ministers were very ugly. Some people not only showed their dissatisfaction on their faces, but also used it in their actual actions. They approached the skylark sitting there step by step. They wanted to seize this Mr. Envoy, further said that he can be handed over to His Majesty to receive credit, and step back and say that he can be caught and traded with mercenaries in exchange for a large amount of silver.

It had long been expected that these courtiers would turn their faces at any time, a cold light and murderous look flashed in Yunque's eyes, and he raised his hand to shoot.A courtier who was walking in the front was shot immediately, a stream of blood spattered on his chest, and then the blood flowed more and more, until finally he lost all strength and fell to the ground with a plop.

Without warning, a gunshot rang out, but it frightened the courtiers who were advancing.Instinctively, they stopped walking, and looked blankly at Skylark who was seated at the An Ran Tai Seat and the black pistol in his hand.

Based on their knowledge, they naturally knew that it should be a musket.But this is the first time I have seen such a small gun, especially the power of this musket seems to be not small, a single shot can kill a person.

While everyone was in a daze, Yunque had already said: "It's not that I want to deal with you, but you want to harm this special envoy. This is called self-defense counterattack, you know? Of course, I still have fifty bullets in this pistol. Now that one person has been killed, 49 more people can be killed, if anyone wants to die, they can come forward and have a try.”

It was obviously a lie, the Type [-] pistol only had a capacity of seven rounds, but Skylark just opened his eyes and talked nonsense, insisting that it had a capacity of fifty rounds, and he still acted like he was not afraid of being exposed.Not for anything else, just because he knows people's psychology too well.Everyone is afraid of death, and no one wants to die, so there is no chance of his lie being exposed.

Sure enough, when they heard that the pistol could fire fifty bullets at a time, the faces of these courtiers changed drastically.Although this was somewhat beyond their understanding, in their imagination, muskets would need to be reloaded after one shot, but no one really dared to try it out, seeing Skylark's confident face.

It doesn't matter if no one tries, there are always some people with extremely fast brain reactions.Usually such a person will not rush to the forefront of everything.So in order to see if what Yunque said was true, a clever courtier who wanted to control the other party said behind him: "Don't listen to his nonsense, there is no such powerful musket in the world, come on, let's see him How to do it."

While talking on this side, the man also pushed hard towards the waist of an unsuspecting colleague. The man was unprepared and rushed forward.

"Bah!"

Another shot was fired, and the man fell to the ground.He didn't die immediately, he didn't look at the skylark sitting there, but looked back, wanting to see who pushed him just now, he wanted to date this person's eight generations of ancestors.

"Sure enough, it can be fired in succession." Some courtiers were a little slow to react, not paying attention to how someone would have the guts to test the gun. They just saw that the gun was indeed not reloaded and fired a second round.

"I don't believe that he can really fire fifty shots." The same man was still talking, and then he pushed his hands towards the other two ministers beside him.

"Bah!"

With the sound of a series of gunshots, the two of them fell to the ground again. The distance was only a dozen meters. Skylark fired without having to aim at all. He only needed to hit the target by feeling.

"It really is a good gun. Hey! No, it seems that these two people were pushed out just now." The courtiers finally realized that something was wrong.Immediately one by one turned around and looked, and then one by one made a look of guarding against others.

He has already been pushed out to take three scapegoats, and no one can guarantee whether he will be the next one.For safety's sake, of course, the farther away from others the better.

Four people have died before and after, and everyone has a clearer understanding of the musket in Skylark's hand.No one dared to try it anymore, so that there were no smart people looking for a substitute, and the situation was at a stalemate at this moment.

"Haha, it's so lively." The sound of dense footsteps came to everyone's ears, and then a group of soldiers in army green camouflage uniforms poured into the National Teacher's Mansion. A young man with a bit of refined temperament.

With the entry of these soldiers, the Lancang soldiers who were originally in charge of the security of the National Teacher's Mansion backed away nervously.Naturally, they had been notified long ago that the mercenaries would come, but when they actually faced it, they felt a strong sense of pressure, making them have to retreat.

"Mercenaries?"

"Is he a loyal man?"

As soon as Leng Feng entered the compound, they naturally attracted everyone's attention. Then someone yelled, and everyone turned their surprised eyes to the leader of the team, Chen Bo, the Second Battalion Commander.

Because of the underdeveloped information, few people in Lancang Kingdom have seen Yang Chendong.Unfortunately, some people were lucky enough to meet him, but they couldn't come back, which made him a legend.Young, who was born as a scholar, this is the most intuitive impression of him.

Chen Bo is very young, and he has a refined air, so it's no wonder that everyone has such an understanding and mistook him for a loyal and brave man.

Originally, when he heard someone calling the name of Mr. Zhongdan, Chen Bo also gave a jump, thinking that the sixth young master came here first.But thinking about it carefully, it’s impossible. There’s no need to take risks, isn’t it? Seeing that everyone’s eyes turned to him collectively, he immediately smiled and said: “Everyone, Chen Bo, the battalion commander, is as loyal as a brave man.” I am much more heroic and younger."

"What? How could this be younger than you." Seeing Chen Bo denying that he is a loyal and brave man, and saying that the real loyal and brave man is actually younger, all the ministers in the courtyard were stunned. color.

In fact, Chen Bo did not lie. According to his real age, he was three years older than Yang Chendong.Of course, this is not the point at this time. He has already seen the skylark in the crowd, and immediately smiled and greeted him from a distance, "Team Leader Yun."

Yunque also saw Chen Bo and the others when they were admitted to the hospital, and had already stood up from the chair. "Commissioner Chen, congratulations on your promotion again."

Chen Bo is no longer a battalion-level cadre, but has long been a regimental-level cadre and has a real job as a political commissar.But for these ruthless people who are used to going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, they seem to like to command the army and prefer to be with the front-line army. From this point of view, Chen Bo prefers to be called the battalion commander rather than the political commissar.

But who is Yunque, the backbone of the Security Bureau, and he has heard his name more than once from the sixth young master.That's someone the Sixth Young Master values ​​very much. He's not in the military system, so he should be more polite. "Team Leader Yun is joking, my political commissar is just a name."

"Haha, that's because Political Commissar Chen doesn't care about false fame, he's a high-spirited person." Yunque laughed, originally he was worried that someone would take risks, but his pistol had already fired four bullets, and he could still fire three more shots at most, although changing the magazine would not be a problem. It won't take long, but who can say no to accidents?Well now, the mercenary came, and it was the strongest Leng Feng who came, he could finally rest assured and let Leng Feng handle the situation here.

The two of them talked as if no one else was around, and neither of them seemed to pay attention to other people.But the other Leng Feng didn't stay idle, he stepped forward and arrested the ministers of the Lancang Kingdom one by one, and if there was any slight resistance, they would fight with fists and kicks, and they would never be polite.

If these people were Han officials, perhaps Leng Feng would have a different level of priority when attacking, but I'm sorry, there is no such property right for foreigners.

Several people in succession were beaten because they were slow to squat on the ground, and the others also learned how to behave, and each of them cooperated extremely, so that the situation was quickly brought under control. "Leader Yun, you understand the situation here better, let's see how to deal with it."

"Okay." Skylark nodded, without the slightest hint of politeness.Leng Feng is naturally good at fighting, but when it comes to insight into people's hearts and intelligence, it is far worse than their security bureau.It was as if he had an investigation list in his hand, which showed the family assets of these arrested ministers.

Apart from Longzi and He Guang, the other officials were naturally not so lucky.If you don't work hard before the overall situation is settled, you want to hold thick legs afterwards. I'm sorry, it's too late.

Skylark had already obtained Yang Chendong's secret order to confiscate the property of these Lancang ministers.Of course, he would not be soft at this moment. In order to make things go more smoothly, he was the first to set his sights on Maud.

Not to mention, this Morde still has some strength, at least he didn't die in the fight just now, he just suffered a knife wound.Seeing the appearance of the mercenary, he knew that the general situation was over, so he actively tucked his tail, lowered his head and mingled among the crowd.
