Come to Daming with military supplies

Nie Zhengyi, who had already been beaten in a daze, tried his best to land on his back to relieve the possible pain, but just as he landed with a muffled groan, two other soldiers from the independent regiment came to hold him back. Hold it down, it can be regarded as completely subduing him.

"Take all the troublemakers away." Standing on the performance stage, Yang Er waved his hand, then nodded lightly to Shui Qing, director of the Propaganda Department, and showed a reassuring look to Qi Qige, he Surrounded by Peng Yue and others, he strode away from Fuyun Tower.

Not long after Yang Er and the others left, Zhang Quan and Xu Deyi rushed over with dozens of Beiming soldiers, but the answer they got was that there were Beiming soldiers making trouble here, and now all of them were taken away. If you want someone, go to the Shicheng military camp.

Zhang Quan of the Shicheng military camp did not dare to go, just relying on the dozens of people that Xu Deyihe brought, I am afraid that it would not be enough to put people's teeth in place.In desperation, he thought of Yu Mian. At this moment, the only person he could ask for help was the City Lord's Mansion.

Besides, three hundred Beiming soldiers were taken away in a daze, and then taken to the mercenary barracks outside Nancheng, where they were detained separately and subjected to repeated interrogations.The general idea is what they want to do when they leave the mission of Datong Mansion privately, do they want to inquire about the secrets of mercenaries and city defense and so on.

Faced with such a charge of beheading, all the Beiming soldiers shook their heads like a wave drum. They were really just curious about the show they were going to appear in, so they boldly rushed out of the inn. They had other ideas. No.

Not to mention how anxious and justified the three hundred Beiming soldiers were, Nie Zhengyi, who had been cleaned up by Badaojiang, felt a little dizzy all the time, and then was taken to a very quiet place with a black hood on his head. The place.

The reason why it was said to be very quiet was because he could no longer hear any sound in his ears.After an unknown amount of time, footsteps came, and then the black hood on his head was taken off. While feeling the glare of the sun in front of him, Nie Zhengyi also saw a very young son standing in front of him.

With a smile on his face, Brother Gongzi looked at him with great interest, and at the same time he was also sizing up the visitor.Young, handsome, especially with an indescribable temperament, it feels as thick as a mountain, and as wide as the sea. Standing in Haoli, even with a smile, still gives him a great feeling. pressure.

"Who are you?" Nie Zhengyi saw that Yang Er, who had commanded the army before, was standing next to the young master, and he looked like a servant. He instinctively told him that the son in front of him must be very extraordinary. asked aloud.

"Presumptuous, you can ask questions casually in front of Daming Zhongdan Gong." Before the son could answer, Yang Er's roar had already sounded.

"Da Ming... Duke Zhongdan." Hearing this, Nie Zhengyi's legs gave way, and he fell to his knees on the ground with a plop.

This is not to say that he has no backbone, but that Yang Chendong's name has indeed been resounded throughout the country.Even in the military barracks of Datong Mansion, this topic is often discussed among soldiers when there is nothing to do.In the hearts of all the soldiers, this loyal and brave man of Ming Dynasty has long been a myth, and has become synonymous with strength and invincibility.

"You've heard of me?" Seeing Nie Zhengyi knelt down in front of him, Yang Chendong's face didn't change at all, maybe he's already used to all this.

"Yes, I have heard of the name of Lord Zhongdan, and know that you are very good at fighting." Nie Zhengyi was also a little excited while answering.He could actually meet Mr. Zhongdan in person, and even have a conversation with him, which he never dared to imagine before.

At this time, Nie Zhengyi was like those small county magistrates of the seventh rank who were summoned by the current emperor, and what was in his heart was only excitement and excitement.

"Hehe, my level of fighting is just so-so. It's mainly because the soldiers below work hard that they can be brilliant again and again." Yang Chendong said modestly.

Nie Zhengyi didn't seem to agree with this point of view, perhaps because he learned something about the situation in the city yesterday, which made him unable to help saying: "That's also the ability of a loyal and courageous man. I mean, you love soldiers like a son, and you can become your It’s a matter of happiness and pride for my subordinates, so why don’t they work hard?”

These words, which were slightly suspected of being flattering, caused Yang Chendong to burst out laughing. "Well, I know you. Your name is Nie Zhengyi. You can't imagine that you are very good at talking. So, if you are given a chance, do you want to join the mercenary army?"

Duke Zhongdan actually knew himself and even took the initiative to recruit him. This honor immediately excited Nie Zhengyi.But my mother in Datong Mansion suddenly came to mind.Although his father died in the war with Wala a few years ago, and although he has not married a wife because of his high spirits, he still has a mother and lives in Datong Mansion. If he joins the Among the mercenaries, what would his mother do?Once the Ming army and the Jin Yiwei know about it, I'm afraid it will be a disaster for my mother.

Nie Zhengyi's face was constantly changing. Yang Chendong just looked at him without any intention of urging him. It was only after a few breaths that Nie Zhengyi raised his head and said seriously, "Master, although I really I am very envious of the treatment of the mercenaries, and I also admire your courage to fight against the enemies on the grassland, but I still cannot join the mercenaries."

"Is it because of your mother?" Yang Chendong waited for Nie Zhengyi to finish speaking, then asked with a smile.

"You know that?" Nie Zhengyi had a surprised expression on his face.How could he know that not long after they left Datong Mansion this time, the intelligence personnel of the Security Bureau got the news. While reporting the situation to the higher-level department of the Security Bureau and notifying Shicheng, they also began to investigate these entourage .And Nie Zhengyi was the main subject of the research, so his situation was naturally investigated very clearly.

"Hehe. Of course I know everything. I also know that you are from a military family, that you are very filial, and that you have a high vision. You are 25 years old and have not married a wife. It's not because you can't afford one, but because I didn't find any suitable ones. How is it? After watching the show performed by the female soldiers of our propaganda team today, they all have good figures and good looks, do you have any favorites?"

Chapter 765 A scrap of paper agreement

Yang Chendong smiled and said every sentence.And every time he said a word, Nie Zhengyi couldn't help but shuddered all over his body.Mr. Zhongdan really knows everything. Even a small head of a hundred households like him can figure out the situation so clearly. Doesn't that mean that the details of their thousand-member mission have long been known? bottom off?

Nie Zhengyi was still surprised, but after hearing Yang Chendong's words, he opened his mouth in shock, enough to stuff an egg into it. "If I said, even if you join the mercenary army, your mother will be fine, and I also allow you to choose an unmarried female soldier in the performance team as your wife, then what choice would you make?"

"Is there such a good thing?" Nie Zhengyi was indeed surprised, and couldn't help asking back.

"Haha, I guess there is no need to lie to you in my capacity." Yang Chendong didn't answer directly, but this sentence was indeed the answer.

As far as Yang Chendong's identity is concerned, he is someone who is feared even by the emperors of Beiming and Nanming. Even the king on the grassland will be frightened when he hears his name. How can such a person be scared? Would you casually joke with a little centurion like him?

As soon as he asked this sentence, Nie Zhengyi knew that what he thought was superfluous.Since there is such a good thing, there is no reason why he should not agree. He kowtowed three times to Yang Chendong and said: "My subordinate Nie Zhengyi is willing to join the mercenary army, and he is born and paid for the father-in-law." body, never change.”

"Haha, good." Nie Zhengyi finally made a choice, and Yang Chendong stepped forward to help him up in great joy, and then looked at him again and said: "Yes, seeing your pure eyes, you must be a man who promises a lot, even That's it, I accept you."

Nie Zhengyi was overwhelmed by Yang Chendong, but he did not stay in Shicheng, but was sent back together with the three hundred Beiming soldiers who were captured, and returned to the inn again.In other words, Nie Zhengyi is loyal to Yang Chendong, but the nature of his work is different. He has become a pawn buried in the Datong Mansion, usually delivering important military information, and can play a decisive role at critical times.

Yang Chendong treated Nie Zhengyi well, and directly proposed that when he returned to Datong Mansion, there would be a special person in charge of his affairs, and a special person would contact him, so that his identity could be avoided as much as possible. , there will be danger.At the same time, a lot of silver was also prepared for Nie Zhengyi. Yang Chendong had only one request, and that was to bribe his superiors as soon as possible, and then keep getting promoted.

Just a centurion, the position is still too light.What Yang Chendong wanted was a general with real power and access to more secrets.Nie Zhengyi also assured this. He had no doubts about his own abilities. He was already a centurion at such a young age, which fully explained everything.If there is gold and silver clearing the way, he is very confident that in a short period of time, he will rush upwards and obtain a higher position.

Zhang Quan went to the city lord's mansion, and soon after, Yu Mian went to the barracks to communicate with him, and brought back many of the [-] captured Beiming soldiers.

What Zhang Quan and Xu Deyi didn't expect was that none of the [-] Beiming soldiers came back with injuries. That is to say, they went to the mercenary barracks and were only interrogated, but not punished.On this point, Xu Deyi was very impressed, thinking that the mercenary army was indeed a well-behaved army, and I am afraid that only such an army could fight against the Mongolian cavalry and be victorious in every battle.

"Hmph! They're just some low-level ordinary soldiers. How could they be valued by the mercenaries?" Zhang Quan did have a different opinion. interest only.

This is how a farce ended.According to what Nie Zhengyi thought before, neither Zhang Quan nor Xu Deyi had punished the three hundred soldiers. They just warned them that it makes sense that this law does not punish the public.

After the farce, Zhang Quan and Xu Deyi went to the City Lord's Mansion again.This was another day wasted for nothing, and the negotiation still had to continue.

In the Yang Mansion, Yang Chendong was meditating with his eyes closed, while Yang Er stood aside and didn't dare to say a word.It wasn't until there was a movement outside the door that Humang's figure appeared, and Yang Er left the room lightly.

"What's going on, what happened?" Humang heard from the guards that the Sixth Young Master hadn't even had dinner after going out for a trip, so he rushed over from the barracks in a hurry.At this moment, what he was asking was naturally Yang Er who had been staying with the sixth young master.

"This...it's hard to say." Yang Er shook his head, as if he didn't know how to answer.

"It's hard to say what it is, just say what you have." Hu Mang glared at Yang Er, with a look of guilt.

There is no doubt about Humang's loyalty to Yang Chendong.If there was only one person in the army who did not betray Yang Chendong, it must be Humang.Because of this, Yang Er also trusted him very much, so he immediately sent the sixth young master out of the mansion, went to the military camp privately to meet Nie Zhengyi and told him about it. "Hutou, as soon as the young master came forward, Nie Zhengyi subdued him, but at the same time he also talked about the situation in Datong Mansion. According to him, the upper echelons of Beiming have been speaking ill of the young master in the army. They have always said that the young master has Those who are rebellious have always been on guard. I heard that many soldiers in the Northern Ming Army believed this statement."

Yang Er's answer finally made Humang finally clear what happened.I didn't know before and I wouldn't be worried, but now that I know it, I smiled immediately: "I thought it was a big deal, don't worry, the young master has a big heart, and he will never worry about such a small thing."

"Yes, the young master won't worry about such a trivial matter, but not long ago, the Security Bureau sent information about the Northern Ming court. I heard that many people there have made suggestions, saying that they want to order the slaves to go to the capital. cut off our supply from the sea."

"What, do they really dare?" Hearing this, even Humang's expression couldn't help but glared at Yang Er, "Why don't we fart together, and tell them one by one ,snort."

After saying this, Humang strode towards the house, and as soon as he entered the room, he stood in front of Yang Chendong and said, "Young master, don't worry, I will take the independent group to the house right away." Go to the Nuer Gandusi area, don’t they want to cut off our supply road? Then let’s level them up first.”

"Huh?" Yang Chendong, who had been closing his eyes all the time, sat on the chair, and opened his eyes at this moment, "The independent regiment has such a powerful combat power that it can wipe out the entire Nuer Gandu Division Beiming with one regiment. The army? Can you control every city and ensure the safety of our supply road?"

"Ah? This...we can't do it." Even with such confidence, Humang couldn't help but say it with a bitter face at this moment.

The intelligence of the Security Bureau has long recorded that there are many Beiming guards in the Nuergandusi area, with a strength of about 10 troops, and the distribution is very wide. The farthest two guards are separated by thousands of miles.With such a large territory, how can an independent group claim it and occupy it?

Not to mention the independent regiment, even if all the troops in Shicheng can be sent there now, or the Beiming Guard can be defeated, it is impossible to occupy and maintain the stability there.

That place is too big and there are too many guards. Unless there are enough troops, otherwise, it will be uncontrollable.Not to mention, Yang Chendong is not yet ready to turn against Beiming. According to him, both Beiming and Nanming are composed of Han people. If they want to lead the Han people to the top of the world in the future, a strong population base is necessary. indispensable.Unless necessary, he didn't want to make it difficult for the Han people, let alone make enemies of the Han army, otherwise, it would be tantamount to digging his own foundation.

If he didn't want to fight, if the Beiming court really ordered to block the supply road, Yang Chendong would really feel uncomfortable.After all, Shicheng's ability to self-generate blood is too low. If there is no continuous entry of Chixian City's material resources, let alone develop on the grassland, it will be a problem whether it can persist.

Humang stopped talking, and Yang Chendong once again fell into silence with his eyes closed. Now he needs to think of a way to prevent the Beiming court from issuing orders to the Nuergandusi area.And how to do this is really embarrassing.

The negotiation is still going on in the city lord's mansion, and it is getting smoother and smoother. Perhaps it is because Zhang Quan's attitude is very firm. In the end, Yu Mian still backed down a step. He didn't mean to ask the other party for military salary, and of course Zhang Quan never mentioned it. Shicheng should be attributed to the affairs managed by the Northern Ming court.In the end, the two sides reached an agreement, that is, to issue a joint statement, indicating to the outside world the alliance between Datong Mansion and Shicheng, that is, if one party is in trouble, the other party must send troops to support it unconditionally.

The agreement was finally reached, presumably after knowing the news, they had to think more about some things when they were about to make a move, which made Zhang Quan seem very satisfied.After completing his errands, he rejected Yu Mian's suggestion that he stay in Shicheng for a few more days, and left the city with the thousand guards he had brought.After Yu Mian sent Zhang Quan away, he came to the Yang Mansion with great strides, and met Yang Chendong.

In the hall of the Yang Mansion, Yang Chendong looked at the joint statement made by the two sides, smiled and said: "It's just a piece of waste paper."

There is a reason for Yang Chendong to say this.The statement only said that the two sides are allies, that if one side has something to do, the other side will support it, but it did not specify how many reinforcements will be sent.That is to say, if one party really has something to do, the other party can send thousands of people, or even a thousand people, or even a hundred people.Yang Chendong didn't believe that such a big loophole was right in front of him, because Yu Mian and Zhang Quan's shrewdness would not see it, but neither of them pointed it out, which already represented a lot of meaning.
