Chapter 259: Courage to Fight
Huang Daxiong received Hua Pengzhen and Zhu Zhanpeng to find out the materials that those profiteers in various places were preparing to attack the trading place, and he was surprised to find that there was more than he expected.
"Father-in-law Huang, the young master has replied." Just as Huang Daxiong was looking at the list, Yang Yi's voice came in.
Huang Daxiong looked up and saw Yang Yi walking back with an unkind face: "There is no problem with Yang Boy's side." ”
"Ah, this is the letter from the young master to you, oh, the young master also said that your equipment costs money, and you have to ask the court for money." Yang Yi looked at Huang Daxiong with a strange expression.
Huang Daxiong's eyes jumped, and his face instantly darkened: "Hmph, everyone is doing things for the emperor, what kind of money are you talking about." ”
However, when Huang Daxiong saw the content of the letter, he admired Yang Xiuqing's courage even more in his heart, he was really not afraid of death, he looked up at Yang Yi: "Yang boy's side is really fine, what else does he have to explain." “
"No, I just want you to give money, those guns are not cheap, and we won't be able to make a sound." Yang Yi replied truthfully.
Yang Yi has been thinking about Yang Xiuqing's complaints and the blood in his heart for the newly established musket army for the past few days, but when he thinks of Yang Xiuqing's complaints about Youyun, he can't laugh, and when he thinks that the Yang family may go bankrupt, he is immediately shocked in his heart.
"Gonggong Huang, you can ask the court for money, the Yang family really has no money, and you are too wolf this time, countless guns have been built, and the cost is really huge." Yang Yi pleaded a little.
It turned out that when Yang Xiuqing figured out where the funds went, he was even more angry in his heart, because Huang Daxiong privately added another 20,000 or 30,000 guns, which were made by the whole city to let all those defeated Hu people be dragged to work as laborers.
At this time, Yang Xiuqing could only scold Huang Daxiong, but there was nothing he could do, and at this time he could only find a way to fill this hole, otherwise there was no way to do many things, and if this critical period passed, it would be even more troublesome.
"Our family can't think that these guys are swallowing money, and it's quite difficult for Yang Xiaozi to get so much, but the emperor doesn't have any money, and he can't let our family pay for it by himself if he lets our family come here, this money should be counted like Ye Youji and Qi Yongzhong's two old guys, next time our family must calculate it clearly, okay, you can reply to Yang Xiaozi about this matter, our family knows, but he doesn't need so much, and the emperor will not necessarily agree to him."
"Well, I still have something to talk to Uncle Zhu and Hua Niang." As soon as Yang left, he still had to convey something about Yang Xiuqing.
At this time, Yang Xiuqing had not yet received the news that Huang Daxiong had banned the private warehouses of those profiteers, and the second prince had led his troops to attack, Yang Xiuqing looked at Ye Youji with an excited face with an indifferent face.
"Are you ready?" Yang Xiuqing asked suddenly.
Ye Youji smiled and pointed to the soldiers who had already assembled: "There is no problem, this time the second prince will be defeated cleanly." ”
However, when Yang Xiuqing saw a prince leading 20,000 cavalry, he smiled a little bitterly.
"Why do you think he's doing this, these soldiers of his are not easy to come by."
Yang Xiuqing thought to himself, if he fought too hard and really beat the second prince to the end, it would not be fun, Ye Youji seemed to know what Yang Xiuqing was doing, he said softly from afar.
"Boy, you think about it too much, it's not that simple, I think they want to see our strength, you must know that those people have come to me every day these days, and those soldiers under me have been trained by you and me, then it's troublesome, they dare to spend money to buy and sell the guns in the hands of soldiers, that's really bold, you must know that we are still allies at this time, and they still have something to ask for me."
"Well, you have to know in your heart then, but don't forget yourself." Yang Xiuqing explained again.
"Don't worry, if there is no problem, let's go."
"Let's go." Yang Xiuqing looked at the soldier with confidence on his face, and shouted coldly.
With Yang Xiuqing's order, all the infantry began to get on the ox and horse carts, because Yang Xiuqing emphasized the mobility of this fear, even if Yang Xiuqing felt that the military expenses were unbearable at this time, he insisted on allocating the infantry with vehicles, which made Ye Youji unable to understand what Yang Xiuqing meant, although he also saw that the infantry could use oxen and carriages to help the infantry a little, but he still wanted to use the money to strengthen the weapons and equipment, because for Ye Youji, weapons are combat power.
Yang Xiuqing rode the wild horse king with 20,000 cavalry in front, at this time, for victory, he did not doubt Ye Youji's ability at all, and thought more about the support for the eldest prince to that extent.
"Report, the enemy has reached the front two hundred miles, and at this time it has stopped moving."
Just half an hour after Yang Xiuqing marched, the spies came to report about the situation of the second prince, Yang Xiuqing frowned and waved his hand: "Probe again." ”
"Boy Yang, do you want to get out of the car and line up now?" Ye Youji looked at Yang Xiuqing solemnly.
Because Ye Youji knew that the most important thing for the infantry was the formation, if there was no formation, it would be a plate of scattered sand, but when he thought that those oxen and carriages were also marching according to the formation at this time, he felt a lot more at ease, but when he thought of these marching troops to board the vehicle to fight, he had already thought about the problem of fighting in the chariot anytime and anywhere.
"Let's get to the reserved place." Yang Xiuqing knew that the infantry still relied on the terrain and terrain to be the most advantageous, and it was the most favorable decisive battle location selected by Ye Youji according to the characteristics of the guns and the strength of the troops, so Yang Xiuqing was unwilling to give up this location in vain.
Seeing that Yang Xiuqing was so insistent, Ye Youji could only order the generals to be ready to fight at any time, and send more people to escort the cannons, Ye Youji became even more nervous, because this time he was really facing the fully armed cavalry, and it was also more than twice the strength of the army, although Ye Youji also firmly believed that he would win in the end, but he did not know how much he lost.
"Yang boy, what's going on with Qi Illiteracy, can he do it with 30,000 people?" Ye Youji turned his head away and wanted to get rid of the disturbance in his heart, so he turned the topic and asked Qi Yongzhong.
"The time is not ripe yet, as long as we want to form a battlefield here, then it will be the most suitable time, so Lao Ye, use your skills, not to defeat you and destroy the enemy, but to let the other party win but not win, retreat and not retreat, and finally the other party will have to break off the tail to survive, that is a big victory." Yang Xiuqing analyzed.
Ye Youji's face was solemn and he looked at the soldiers who were still hurrying around, and he suddenly sighed: "Will that make our soldiers demoralized." ”
"Morale, as long as the final victory goes to us, then there will be no such impact, besides, don't underestimate Yang Er's role." In the end, Yang Xiuqing's head hurt.
The reason is that Yang Er promoted Yang Xiuqing as a god, and the most important thing is that those soldiers also believed in Yang Er's nonsense, especially the newly established feared monitoring team at this time, if there is a trace of disrespect to Yang Xiuqing in the army, it will be a direct killing, for this, Yang Xiuqing has scolded Yang Er several times, and the entire army can no longer be changed, although Yang Xiuqing feels unhappy, he doesn't want to be a god, but Yang Er and those monitoring teams really make the entire army go further to Yang Xiuqing's deification, Even Ye Youji and the others were shocked, if it weren't for Yang Xiuqing's complete delegation of power to Ye Youji and Qi Yongzhong and let Huang Daxiong insert people into the army, Ye Youji and the others would have suspected that Yang Xiuqing was going to rebel.
An hour later, Ye Youji and Yang Xiuqing rode on a small hill by a small river, and the various departments were stepping up their arrangements, Ye Youji was condescending, and saw 150,000 soldiers showing their formations and arranging them.
"Boy, what the hell is that idiot trying to do?" Ye Youji pointed at the eldest prince who was a decent person in front of the formation and said disdainfully.
It turned out that the eldest prince did not listen to Yang Xiuqing and Ye Youji's words, and put the 20,000 cavalry he had finally recruited in the rear, but insisted on personally leading the cavalry in front of the battle, and he must fight the first battle, and asked Yang Xiuqing to give some firearms such as the three-eyed system, but Yang Xiuqing was not satisfied with the reason that it had been used and refused the eldest prince and promised, after this battle, he would give the weapon to the king as soon as possible, which made the eldest prince retreat and ask for some armor and knives and guns.
Yang Xiuqing was also willing to give these to the eldest prince, which made the eldest prince instantly make the 20,000 cavalry look very combative, but what its essence is, everyone knows.
"Report, the enemy is coming, and a messenger is coming." The spies reported back.
After Yang Xiuqing and Ye Youji glanced at each other, he sneered: "He sent a messenger over, just to let us surrender, ignore him, and directly let the messenger go back and tell the second prince that as long as he surrenders and recognizes the eldest prince's ascension to the throne, then I can let him settle in Youyun, rest assured, Youyun is definitely a place of joy in life." ”
"Well, yes, this also saves us from sending a messenger over, remember to explain clearly, as long as he surrenders, the old man can ask the court to make him a king with a different surname." Ye Youji said with a smile.
Yang Xiuqing looked at Ye Youji strangely: "Old Ye, you can't blow this cow, this is a king, it's not a cat or a dog." ”
"Hmph, you kid underestimated the status of the second prince in the Hu clan, let me tell you, as long as the second prince really surrenders, the old man will be sure to make him king." Ye Youji said with an unhappy face.
In fact, for the Hu people, it is more defeats and fewer victories, and for the Hu people, there is no important achievement worth talking about, for the princes of the court, as long as the second prince surrenders, it is the greatest achievement.
"Go, remember, if the second prince doesn't know what to do, then Lao Tzu will make him worse than a dog." Yang Xiuqing said sternly when the spies turned their heads.
"Yes, young master."
In front of the battle, the eldest prince looked at a middle-aged man who came over, and the eldest prince glared violently, because this person was his old subordinate.
"What a white-eyed wolf."
The middle-aged man looked at each other coldly: "Good dogs don't fence the road, get out, really think that you are still the eldest prince before, you are now a dog of Yang Xiuqing." ”
