Come to Daming with military supplies

Yelling like a lunatic, completely ignoring how terrifying his appearance at this moment is.After shouting this, Zhu Qizhen looked at Cao Jixiang who was at the side and asked loudly, "Big companion, what reason does he have?"

"Your Majesty." Cao Jixiang looked apprehensive, a look of being shocked by the emperor's prestige, but from the calmness of his answer to the question, it can be seen that he was not really afraid in his heart, "Not long ago, Lancang Kingdom Just dispatched tens of thousands of troops to attack Hanoi City together with former Jiaozhi general Fan Yuhai, but they failed to take down, but I heard that the mercenaries killed and injured many people in this battle."

"Is there such a thing?" Zhu Qizhen looked like I didn't know what happened.

In fact, when the news was reported at the time, he clapped his hands and said, come and see it. In his opinion, it is a good thing that the mercenaries have lost. At least it proves that they are human and will die.But now, he doesn't think about it at all.On the contrary, after listening to Cao Jixiang's answer, he said with a look of disappointment, "This Payasai is the same, what to do to provoke the mercenaries, and give them an excuse to attack, alas."

A sigh has already shown Zhu Qizhen's attitude, that is, he can only hold his nose to admit this matter.In fact, it is impossible to deny it. Who made the mercenaries the winners?Winners have the right to do anything with a condescending attitude.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say something or not." Seeing that Zhu Qizhen seemed to be less angry, Cao Jixiang tried to speak up.

"You can say whatever you want, I forgive you for your innocence."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. In fact, Your Majesty, the current behavior of the mercenaries is not a bad thing for us. The larger their current territory, the more people they will invest in, and the less mobile forces will be. And when they expand to a certain extent At that time, our new army should have completed its training, and it is time for a massive counterattack. At that time, as long as the mercenaries are defeated, wouldn’t it be that what they have now will become Ming’s in the future? Become the emperor?"

Cao Jixiang watched Zhu Qizhen's face while talking.As a eunuch, he was originally there to solve problems for the emperor, so how to restore the emperor's strong confidence is one of his responsibilities as the leader of the eunuchs.

"Huh?" Zhu Qizhen seriously considered Cao Jixiang's words, and after a while, his face finally turned cloudy and he smiled, "That's right, what Daddy said is right. As long as we become stronger, we can defeat the mercenaries." , From now on, theirs will be ours. Haha, yes, yes, I will train the new army with all my strength now, as long as the army is strong enough, who will dare to refuse at that time? Hahaha."

It seems to have figured it out, Zhu Qizhen was angry about this matter without Zhu Qizhen, but he didn't even do the superficial work of sending someone to reprimand Yang Chendong, but devoted all his energy to training the new army, and even went from Three million taels of silver were taken out of the treasury.Through the trading of population, the current Nanming really has some savings.

Beiming was too far away to participate in anything.Nanming has his own little Jiujiu, and because of his own strength, he has to admit everything.King Min had some ideas while consolidating the foundation, such as trying to get in touch with Yang Chendong.But Zhu Huixun's idea was quickly dissuaded by his courtiers.

According to these courtiers, now that the mercenaries are in the limelight, it is difficult to obtain any benefits even if they unite with them. It is better to wait for them to lose the battle under their arrogance. At that time, the price to be paid for uniting them is will be much smaller.

Heeding the advice of his courtiers, Zhu Huixun focused on stabilizing the territory and did not send anyone to contact the mercenaries.

There was no movement from the major forces in the north, all of this was within Yang Chendong's expectation.But there was no movement in the countries around Laos, which made him a little puzzled.

It is said that the mercenaries are so powerful that the Ava Dynasty (Myanmar) in the northwest, Siam (Thailand) in the west, and the Phnom Penh Dynasty (Cambodia) in the south should also respond, at least they should send people to contact themselves.

Or it is possible to recognize the sovereign leadership of the mercenaries over the Lancang Kingdom, or to establish diplomatic relations directly, but why is there no movement at all?

It's like you occupy a county, and the nearby counties shouldn't ignore it.So this is very abnormal, until the news came from the Security Bureau that Fan Yuhai was having secret talks with the generals of the three countries in Siam, and Yang Chendong figured out the reason for this.

"Haha, Fan Yuhai, not bad, not bad." He said two good things in a row, which showed that he was really in a good mood at this moment.Hu Mang and Yang Er, who were listening to these words, both showed doubts.

Who is Fan Yuhai?That is the remnant of Jiaozhi, even if it weren't for this person, there would be no previous battle of Hanoi City, where Leng Feng and the auxiliary soldiers were brothers who died.Such a person is definitely an enemy, the kind who must be killed when they meet, but why does the young master still say that he is not bad?

Yang Chendong's idea is actually very simple, because this Fan Yuhai brought disaster to Lancang country before, which gave the mercenaries a chance to send troops.Now that the disaster has been brought to Siam again, isn't this still creating opportunities for him?

Earlier, Yang Chendong had thought about whether to let Fan Yuhai go.Of course, this release does not mean not eliminating him, but eliminating him later, allowing him to introduce more countries into this game and creating enough excuses for him to attack.In fact, when he entered Lancang Kingdom, Yang Chendong had already thanked him in his heart.

What he didn't expect was that this Fan Yuhai seemed to know what he was thinking, so he was connected with the general of Siam so quickly, and he was connected with three countries. This person is really his bosom friend.

He was happy to have an excuse, but Yang Chendong would not launch an attack immediately.

War is not just talking about it.Every time a battle is fought, there are too many things involved, such as intelligence, terrain, comparison and deployment of troops, logistical support, food and weapons, morale of the army, problems of people's hearts, and so on.

Failure to prepare for any of these could lead to the defeat of the war.Especially now that the army is still calming down the foreign army in Laos, without enough troops, Yang Chendong will not make any decisions lightly.

"Order the Security Bureau, don't be afraid to spend money, find a way to learn more about the other party's situation." After saying this to Humang, Yang Chendong put the matter aside, even if he was going to fight, he still had to wait for Luo Po He Wusheng and the others freed up their hands, and now they just wait and see what happens.For the time being, let's help my future uncle take care of the situation in Laos.

The hearts of the people are the foundation of a country.In order to stabilize and gather people's hearts in the fastest time, Yang Chendong is going to bring the model of "Yang Bao" to Laos.

The previous Yang Bao has been wandering around the capital of Beiming.Due to the traffic and the situation, although Yang Bao was published very early, its development was indeed very slow. Especially after Yang Chendong left Beiming and went to the south, Yang Bao once reached the situation of suspension of publication.Who knows that he is gone, will someone take action to deal with them secretly?

Laos Province is different. This is Yang Chendong's territory, and he has the final say. If he wants to publish Yang News here, he will not be subject to any constraints, but will get the full support of the local government.

If you want to gather people's hearts, you must first let others know who you are and what to do?What did you do for them?

Chapter 596 The World Knows the Tea House

How can this result be achieved?The mouthpiece of public opinion and propaganda is very important, and Yang Bao has become the medium to communicate the intimate relationship between the government and the common people.With Yang Chendong's approval, every big city in Laos that is occupied has a large teahouse under renovation, which is named Tianxiazhi Teahouse.

Once the teahouse is completed, it will be opened to the outside world, and this place will also become the place where Yang Bao is sold and distributed.Considering that many people have never read a book and cannot read at all, this teahouse also has the function of reading newspapers.

That is to say, as long as you enter this teahouse, as long as it is business hours, someone will read the latest Yangbao content here for free, so as to ensure that everyone can know what happened outside and what is beneficial to the people. What benefits can the people get from the new policy.

Not only that, Tianxiazhi is also free, that is to say, there is no cost to drink tea, which greatly reduces the barrier to entry here.Of course, in addition to tea, other small snacks or wine and dishes will need money, after all, the teahouse must continue to operate.In this way, unless the people who come here are all poor people, as soon as anyone with a certain status enters here, he will be embarrassed to only drink tea and not order other things. Because of popularity, earning money is no problem at all.

Having said that, even if he doesn't make money, Yang Chendong also intends to provide financial subsidies and support.Who made this originally a propaganda tool?

Those who are illiterate can listen to it for free and learn about major events in the world.Those who can read can directly buy the latest issue of Yang Bao from here, and watch it slowly at home.Not only that, but if something interesting happens around you, like some kind of parental squabble, something weird or funny will count.If you have been treated unfairly by the government, you can also tell such a story to the staff of Tianxia Zhi, and once it is adopted and compiled into Yang Bao, not only what you said will be recognized If more people pay attention, there will be a high probability of being resolved, and you will also get a certain information fee for this, which is also a good way to make money.

To Yang Chendong's surprise, the emergence of this policy has given birth to the industry of "journalist".Unexpectedly, some unsatisfactory scholars started to search for various things that happened among the common people, and then wrote stories and submitted them to Yang Bao to earn manuscript fees. Not to mention, it really made some people rich. stand up.

The appearance of Yang Bao became a bridge between the government and the people.Once a matter related to the common people is published in Yang Bao, the government mentioned must pay attention to it. You must know that this Yang Bao is not only read by Governor Luan Xiaochen, but also the sixth young master will pay attention to it from time to time. Couldn't it be his ability to solve the problem? The next time the officials are evaluated, they will have to eat melons.

The appearance of a Yang Bao has greatly affected the efficiency of the government's work, making them afraid to play any tricks.Many people also benefited from this, and Yang Bao was affectionately called the people's own newspaper by them.As a result, Tianxia Zhi teahouse is full every day. Apart from some high-ranking officials who like to appear here and know the contents of Yang Bao immediately, many ordinary people who have some spare money are also willing to spend here.These people seem to be afraid that the world will not be able to continue their business because of the free tea. In this case, if they have any grievances or grievances, they will not have a direct channel to the above, so they will come to support them from time to time.

Once an industry is recognized and supported by the people, not only will it become more influential, but the speed at which it makes money will also begin to accelerate.In less than a month, Tianxiazhi Teahouse turned a profit, which was beyond Yang Chendong's expectation.It's just that he didn't want to make any money in this area at all. Based on the idea of ​​taking it from the people and using it for the people, he ordered to increase the return of manuscript fees and information fees. As a result, more people promoted information or information. It was directly submitted to the manuscript, so that when some people couldn't find the government's problem, they wrote stories about the neighbor's quarrel last night because of trivial matters that caused him not to sleep well.

From this point of view, it just shows the influence of Yang Bao.And it is such a newspaper that allows the people to protect their rights, allowing them to pass the official policies recorded in the newspaper and various stories that seem to have happened to them, which greatly narrows the distance between them and the government and strengthens them. Awareness and recognition of the Lao provincial government.

Seeing that the effect of Yang Bao was so good, Yang Chendong swiped his pen and asked Vietnam Province to follow suit, and sent some experienced talents from Yang Bao to help Vietnam Province.But just one month later, dozens of Tianxiazhi teahouses also sprung up in major cities in Vietnam, and there were more and more of them, narrowing the distance between the mercenaries and the Vietnamese people.

Waiting for the dust from Yang Bao to settle, Yang Chendong has been in Laos for three months, and Luan Xiaochen has been the governor for more than two months, and he has already begun to adapt to this new environment and new job.

In three months, Leng Feng and his auxiliary soldiers rode bicycles all over Laos and captured one city after another. Facing the invincible strength, people opened the gates of the cities and surrendered more and more. The more, the Lao province was finally liberated throughout.Among them, the nearby Phnom Penh Dynasty, Siam Kingdom, and Ava Dynasty did not make any moves, and it seemed that they did not see this scene happening at all.

These people seem to have a relationship with the mercenaries based on the idea of ​​​​not approaching, not approaching, and not offending.If it is a weak person who has just taken over a new power, it will need a long period of stability. This time may be three years, five years, or ten or twenty years.

Put it on Yang Chendong's body, of course he won't sit and wait.Judging from his experience, it is impossible for these three neighboring countries to really allow Laos to continue to develop smoothly.For example, once the main force of the mercenaries leaves here, the previous offensive and defensive battles in Hanoi Province are likely to recur.

Today's Laos Province has clear politics, people are united, and people's hearts are stable. It is the time for stable development. Yang Chendong will never allow the incident in Hanoi City to happen again.Therefore, if others don't come to trouble him, he will take the initiative to find trouble for others.Since it is necessary to fight, of course it is better to fight out, at least fight outside, and he will not feel a little bit of distress if he destroys the city.They called Skylark from the foreign affairs group. After making contributions in the liberation wars of Vietnam Province and Laos Province, this person has been promoted to become the director of the foreign affairs group, in charge of the main things in this area.Calling this person, Yang Chendong just wanted to hear his opinion on the battle situation.

The promotion, the greater power, and the heavier burden on the body.Skylark is a smart person. After he was promoted to the director, he had a more thorough understanding of the situation of the foreign affairs team of the Security Bureau, and sent more manpower, in order to understand and understand the situation of the three provinces thoroughly. I thought the Sixth Young Master was making plans for the next step.

Waiting for Yang Chendong to ask him a question, he explained in detail the plan he had in his mind for a long time. "Sixth young master, Fan Yuhai is still wandering around the Chiang Rai area of ​​Siam. From the outside, it seems that they have no contact with the high-level officials of Siam, but our people have already investigated and found out that their relationship is not As strange as they appear, on the contrary, the food and grass for the five thousand elite riders were provided by Siam. They should be waiting for some opportunity."

really.Listening to the information reported by Yunque, Yang Chendong nodded deeply.Since Siam is secretly supporting Fan Yuhai, it shows that they have no intention of making friends with themselves. The reason why they don't do anything now is that the time is not ripe.

"Go on, when Director Yun thinks they will attack us, and how should we counter it?" Yang Chendong deliberately tested the school skylark, wanting to see how much the other party's thinking is similar to his own.

Looking at Yang Chendong's approving eyes, Yunque was encouraged and continued: "Sixth Young Master, whether it is Fan Yuhai or Siam, they will definitely be our enemies. After all, the current Laos Province is developing very well. With the commercial street already The completion of the construction and the use of it has already attracted many businessmen. This is a cornucopia, and no one will be jealous. But when it comes to when they will come, this point is not sure, but they They must be waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that they think is suitable for sending troops, or our army is empty. Just like when Lancang soldiers attacked Hanoi city."

"Well, well said." Yang Chendong nodded appreciatively, which coincided with his thoughts. "Director Yun, do you think we should take the initiative to call?"

"No. This subordinate doesn't think so." Skylark replied in a very firm tone.

"Oh? Why?" Yang Chendong became interested, with a curious expression on his face.

"Sixth Young Master, my subordinates have sent people to seriously investigate the Siamese country, and found that the Siamese country is not weak in terms of military strength or economic strength. Especially since there have been no wars in these years, their internal development speed is very fast. , Now there are already 50 troops in terms of military strength alone. If the situation requires it, they can recruit another 30 troops. With such a strong military strength, if we take the initiative to attack, I am afraid that we will not be able to take advantage of it too much. Even if we can eat them, it will consume us a lot, and there will be no room for development in other places in a short time. If other countries suddenly attack us at that time, such as the Phnom Penh Dynasty in the south, we will fall into a trap. This is very unfavorable in the harsh environment of fighting on two fronts."

Chapter 597 The Skylark's Plan

After talking about this, Yunque was afraid that what he said would destroy his own prestige and boost others' morale, so he quickly added, "Although our mercenaries are very powerful and are not afraid of any enemies, if we plan carefully, we will Wouldn't it be better to get out of this situation completely."
