Zhu Huixun's ability to ask such a question is enough to show that he has seriously considered and even agreed to this matter.When Yan Tao was overjoyed, he clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, please put it down. This subordinate has already arranged a backup. Once Mo Tuo makes a move, no matter whether he lives or dies, he will die in the end."
Now that Yan Tao said this, he was obviously very sure, Zhu Huixun felt relieved, "Okay, if that's the case, this king will immediately arrange for General Liu Dadao of the Xunzhou Mansion to lead [-] troops straight away." Ben Guanghaiwei, let’s control it first, and then we’ll form an encirclement circle. Even if this brave man wants to come out, it’s not easy. After the assassination, send Chen Tian to talk to Xiang, and it’s sure to be a big deal. .”
Chen Tian is known for his eloquence.He is also one of the able ministers under Min Wang Zhu Huixun.
As far as Zhu Huixun is concerned, he is very satisfied with Yan Tao's plan. The key point is that not only can he take the opportunity to deal with Yang Chendong, but even if things fail, he can also ignite the flames of war between Jiaozhi and Yang Chendong.
Jiaozhi agreed to send troops, and indeed sent troops, which made the momentum of the Min King Clan soar, and they came all the way, which seemed to be a good boost.But in fact, during this period of time, Jiaozhi has always made various demands. Although it is not too much, Zhu Huixun can feel that if he does not stop it, it will not be long before the other party's appetite is lost. It's not something he can be satisfied with. At that time, it is inevitable that a civil war will break out. If that is the case, releasing Yang Chendong in advance to let them fight a war of attrition will only have advantages and no disadvantages for him.
As for who would win the battle between the two sides, Zhu Huixun was not so worried about whether the power of King Min's family would be greatly damaged after losing Jiaozhi.From Yunnan to Guangxi and then to Guangdong, he has already seen the reality of Nanming, and he took the opportunity to expand his army by hundreds of thousands. At this time, he is not as scared as before.Even without the help of the Jiaozhi army, he is confident that he can take on the Nanming army. If it is done well, even if they are defeated, it will not be a problem to replace them by himself. Even so, this plan is certainly feasible.
Zhou Quan who was standing at the side also didn't say anything.Because whether it was an assassination or a fight between Jiaozhi and Yang Chendong, it was all tantamount to helping him complete his mission. Even so, why worry about it.
Yan Tao's plan was passed in this way.The next thing was that he quickly informed Mo Tuo in the Gaozhou Mansion to look for an opportunity to attack.
Gaozhou Prefecture.
Two pieces of news, one good and one bad, were sent to Kuang Ye, Shangshu of the Ministry of War in the city at the same time.
The bad news is that King Min's family sent his general Liu Dadao to Guanghaiwei with [-] troops.In this way, a three-sided attack on Gaozhou Prefecture was formed.Although it has not been completely blocked, and there are still some routes leading from Nanjing to Gaozhou Prefecture that have not been occupied, but if the imperial court wants to send a large number of reinforcements here, it is likely to suffer a major blow.
Surrounded, Kuang Ye knew it would be difficult to keep Gaozhou Mansion.Among other things, the military funds from outside cannot come in, and the food alone is enough to worry about the Gaozhou Prefecture with 4 to [-] people.
Fortunately, the good news was also delivered, and Yingzong Zhu Qizhen finally replied to the secret document sent by Kuang Ye.
When the decree was delivered to Kuang Ye, he opened it immediately. After seeing the content on it, he was really happy and sad.
The joy is that the Emperor Yingzong did not reject Yang Chendong's appointment of a king with a different surname. The worry is that such a big deal must be discussed with Zhu Qiyu, the Daizong of the Northern Ming Dynasty, and the other party must first settle the chaos of King Min.
Kuang Ye, Minister of the Ministry of War, who was in the midst of it and served in his post, was naturally very clear about the extent of the Min King Rebellion.Among other things, in terms of scale alone, the Miao army in Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong and Jiaozhi has already involved 500 million people. The peak number is more than 6000 million, but compared to the proportion in the whole world, it is already very large) Among them, the number of rebels alone has reached nearly 100 million. If the Miao army is added, the main Jiaozhi army sent 20 troops , that's more.
Yang Chendong had only a few troops, but only over ten thousand. This was because he had defeated Miao Jinlong before and played with a number of captives.
Speaking of Yang Chen's eastward expansion of the army, it is actually against the rules.
Before, he could use the captives on the battlefield to expand his army, because he had the status of an imperial envoy, and he had the right to act arbitrarily and cheaply, so it was understandable to do so.But now, the status of imperial envoy has been taken down, and his status has also become a duke again. Under such circumstances, the army still needs to be expanded, which is tantamount to a provocation to the imperial power.
Based on this point, Kuang Ye and the others can use this as an excuse.But now that the general environment is like this, Kuang Ye and others can't protect themselves, so what can they use to blame Yang Chendong?In this way, one can get by with one eye open and one eye closed.
Having said that, how can only a little more than 1 people fight against an army of millions of people.Even if the mercenary army is powerful, but at a ratio of one to one hundred, they can consume you to death even if they consume it.
Of course, unless Yang Chendong is willing to take out the weapons of mass destruction in the big warehouse.But that is impossible, at least in the war with the Han people themselves, he will never use such a powerful weapon. If he wants to accomplish his goal, he needs more Han people to support him. How can he accomplish it if he kills them? ?
Chapter 443 Meeting in the City
Not to mention that Kuang Ye didn't know that Yang Chendong had a big warehouse and so many powerful weapons hundreds of years later.He is not optimistic about Yang Chendong just from the comparison of the number of troops.Even if he believes that this army can fight, it is not like this.
From this point of view, Yingzong has no sincerity at all, let alone Beiming's consent, which is even more impossible.
Think about it, you have civil strife in Nanming, Guan Beiming, they are eager to see a joke, but in order to solve the problem, you want to be crowned king and expect them to agree, this is not realistic at all, this is just an excuse.
Just like sealing Mubin as King Xiping, why didn't he say hello to Beiming?Now that Yang Chendong is about to become king, everything has come to mind, what is this if it is not artificially creating difficulties?
Of course, these are all thoughts in Kuang Ye's mind. As a courtier of Daming, he will not and cannot question the emperor's decision.What I'm thinking now is how to explain this matter clearly to Yang Chendong, even he is not sure, if Yang Chendong reads this will, will the other party get angry, will he attack him.
Others will definitely not, but with Yang Chendong, everything is possible.
Kuang Ye couldn't make up his mind, so he called the three generals Guan Ying, Ma Wei, and Yu Guang, first showed them the emperor's will, and then asked helplessly, "Do you have any ideas for the three generals?" ?”
After reading the biography of the three, their faces became very ugly. Obviously, Yingzong didn't want to be king. view.
In this way, the three of them were silent for a long time, until Kuang Ye became a little impatient, Guan Ying said tentatively, "Men, this matter should be discussed with Mr. Zhongdan to see if there is anything else. conditions, as for the location, I think it would be more suitable in Gaozhou City."
The reason why Guan Ying said this was that he and Kuang Ye wanted to go together, and he was also afraid that Yang Chendong would suddenly attack him.It's different in the city, after all, this is also their territory, even if they want to make a move, the other party will have some scruples.
"En." Kuang Ye nodded, he understood Guan Ying's meaning and said: "That's it, you go to the mercenary barracks in person, whether you can see Mr. Zhongdan or not, and let him know the meaning of inviting him to discuss things." It will be fine."
"Student understands." Guan Ying nodded in agreement.
Cold Front Barracks.
The decision about Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was sent over as early as yesterday.
There was a powerful eunuch like Mu Mu in the palace, and this incident was not a secret at all, so he informed the security bureau personnel of the Yang family in the city who got the news earlier.
Yang Chendong, who got the information one day earlier, let out a long sigh after reading it. He knew that he still imagined things too simply.
He is different from Mu Bin, Yang Chendong knows this very well.
The opponent has only lived in Yunnan for a long time, and the influence is only there, and most of the soldiers under him belong to the imperial court. That is to say, if there is any change in him, those soldiers may not all listen to him.
I am different, owning the most elite mercenaries in the world, that is an existence that everyone is afraid of.In addition, when he was in Beiming, he had the ability to overthrow Yu Shiyue, Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment. This kind of influence is not something that a mere Mu family can do.
It is precisely because his influence is not in one place, it is normal for Zhu Qizhen to take precautions against him, how can it be possible for him to be crowned king under such circumstances?
If it was someone else, if I didn’t become king, I would just retreat. Anyway, my foreign base camp is in Beiming, and Beiming is still very safe now. At worst, I will return to Yangjiazhuang as a cat, and I can do whatever I like outside.
But Yang Chendong's goal had been set long ago, he would never be able to do this kind of letting go.Especially this time the war also involved Jiaozhi, which is an absolute alien race, so he would not allow this kind of alien oppression and aggression against the Han nationality to happen.
In other words, regardless of whether Yingzong agrees to crown him king or not, even if he is not given the slightest benefit, he should still send troops.
Feeling being caught, Yang Chendong had a wry smile on his face, and then he said comfortingly: "Forget it, no matter what, this time it can be regarded as expressing my wish. When the time is right, I must seal it." It must be a matter of course for the king."
After enlightening himself, Yang Chendong began to wait for Kuang Ye to talk to him.Although I can't be crowned king, I still need the benefits that I should have. You can't just let me go to fight and defeat the enemy without paying anything.
This kind of waiting didn't take long, only the next day, Guan Ying came, and after seeing the representative of Humang, he told the matter that Master Shangshu wanted to see Lord Zhongdan, and said that he would wait for him in the city .
Naturally, Humang would not immediately nod his head in agreement, he just said to report the matter to the young master, and it was up to him to decide whether to go or not.
After Guan Ying left, Hu Mang told Yang Chendong about the matter, and the Sixth Young Master laughed loudly, "This Kuang Ye is also afraid of death, and he even asked me to meet in the city because he was afraid that I would get mad."
"Hehe." Seeing that the Minister of the Ministry of War was intimidated by the young master's prestige, Humang naturally had a smile on his face, like Rong Youyan.
"Well, that's the case, how about selling this face to him, we not only go, but also go faster, showing that I am very anxious, only by doing this, can we get more benefits. "Yang Chendong quickly made a decision. He wanted to show an appearance of ignorance, so that he would go crazy when he heard the news, and others would understand what he said and what he did.
Yang Chendong wanted to enter the city to negotiate, and Humang immediately went down to make arrangements.Although there should be no danger, but in today's time, the young master's safety is definitely the top priority of the entire Yang family, and there is no room for sloppy.Immediately, he gathered a total of 60 people from the first and second guards to be responsible for the young master's close-up security, and then mobilized a company of elite cold fronts to take charge of the periphery, and also secretly cooperated with the Spike Special Forces and Ghost Sniper Team.
Just like Kuang Ye was guarding against Yang Chendong, why weren't they guarding against each other?
After doing these things, Humang reported the situation to Yang Chendong to know, and he just nodded slightly to show that he knew it and didn't say anything more.This is the concern of the people below for him. Of course he has to accept it, and he must accept it. After all, if something unexpected happens to him, then the world will really be in chaos.
When Humang was reporting, Hu Yan, the eldest wife, was arranging Yang Chendong's clothes.
It has been more than a year since they got married, and Hu Yan has also completed the transformation from a little girl to a qualified wife, and her behavior is even more graceful.
From a girl from the Hu family to Yang Chendong's regular wife, Hu Yan didn't feel too much discomfort.Of course, this is due to Yang Chendong's care, but at the same time, it is also due to the fact that there is no in-laws above.No one is in charge, she can get the most power as soon as she comes in, and when she starts to do things, she naturally doesn't need to worry too much.
It has always been smooth sailing, especially after Yang Chendong treated her very well after marriage, which made Hu Yan very satisfied.Even so, she still has a regret in her heart, that is, after such a long time, she has not conceived her husband's flesh and blood. In this era where there are three kinds of unfilial piety and no offspring is the greatest, one can imagine how much pressure she is under.
