One is willing to be the commander of the east?

In Min Ruoying's opinion, this is naturally something that Bian Wushuang wants to pursue, and after saying this, he looked at Bian Wushuang with a smile, as if he was waiting for the other party to be overjoyed and bow down to thank him.

To his surprise, Bian Wushuang shook his head slowly.

"You don't want to?" Min Ruoying was surprised. Why is that?"

"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't hear it!" Bian Wushuang said: "In other words, now is not the best time."

"Because of the book?" Min Ruoying's face sank.

"Your Majesty, Cheng Shuai has a high reputation in the army of Chu State, although the eastern border army is no longer there, but Cheng Shuai's reputation is still there. The Jinghu defense line was built by him, up and down, all with Cheng Shuai as the leader. It is precisely because the Jinghu defense line revolves around such a core as Cheng Shuai that they hug together and go all out." Bian Wushuang explained: "Bian is just a fugitive who has left his homeland, Yu Qin is guilty, Yu Chu has not made an inch, but he suddenly occupies a high position, so how can the soldiers on the Jinghu front line obey me and believe me?"

"The soldiers and civilians of the Jinghu defense line are also the soldiers and civilians of Dachu!" Min Ruoying said coldly.

"Your Majesty, this is natural." Bian Wushuang nodded: "If the minister doesn't guess, if the minister takes office, Cheng Shuai will not be able to live!"

"Such an old horseman, relying on his meritorious service to the country, will show his respect, arrogant and rebellious, how can I allow him to jump in front of me all the time!" Min Ruoying was not afraid to express her chest in front of Bian Wushuang: "In the past, there was no unscrupulous general in the country, and I could only rely on him to support the situation, and I could only knock out my teeth and swallow it in my stomach, now that I have Bian Qing, how can I still manipulate a Cheng Wu book!"

The words were murderous, but it seemed that inadvertently, Bian Wushuang was promoted to the status of a national soldier, showing his belief in employing people without doubt.

Bian Wushuang sighed secretly in his heart, Min Ruoying, this person, who is bold in killing, can endure humiliation, and dares to use people, compared to Qin Huang Ma Yue, in fact, it is beyond a grade, it can only be said that he was born at the wrong time, ambitious but met Cao Tiancheng, Qin Feng and other amazing talents, this can only be said to be his misfortune.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have not made an inch, and they suddenly rose to a high position, it is not the luck of Da Chu, it will only make the court frightened, the Jinghu front line is suspicious, Cheng Shuai and His Majesty are suspicious, there are many people who know it, if the minister replaces Cheng Shuai on behalf of Cheng Shuai now, he will only edict His Majesty to punish Cheng Shuai in front of him, even if the army and the people dare not rebel, but the military and the people will disperse, because in their eyes, the current Cheng Shuai is the Dinghai Divine Needle of Dachu!" Bian Wushuang persuaded: "It's not that I can't kill Cheng Wuben, but I can't do it now."

"What's your concern?"

"The minister is willing to be the deputy marshal of the east first, and His Majesty can make a decree, and the minister will attack and Cheng Shuai will defend." Bian Wushuang said: "As long as the minister wins several battles in a row and regains some lost territory, the prestige of the minister will inevitably rise in the east. On the Jinghu front, in the hinterland of Chu State, there are many people who fled from the six eastern counties, and all these people think about are counterattacking Qi and returning to their hometowns, and Cheng Shuai has always felt that he is unable to counterattack and is unwilling to send troops.

"That's one way." Min Ruoying pondered for a moment: "Bian Qing is sure to win?"

"Nature." Bian Wushuang said with confidence, "The enemy has already asked for something, and the enemy is more eager for a big victory than us, as long as Zhou Jiyun is forced by the situation in his country, he will be taken advantage of by me."

"How many soldiers do you need?"

"There are 20,000 elites under the command of the minister who can take them to the front line, and there are 20,000 Western troops of General Suqian and 10,000 troops of Luo Hu in the front, and there are 50,000 horses, which is enough. Except for the Jinghu Water Division, the ministers will not move the Jinghu defense line and take back the six eastern counties for His Majesty." Bian Wushuangdao.

"Good!" Min Ruoying high-fived and exclaimed. Bian Qing is a little ambitious, and I am very relieved, but I still have to remind Bian Qing that you must be careful and not to despise the enemy.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, the minister is in the Qin State, and he is about to be wiped out because of defeat after defeat, and he will be taken advantage of by the enemy because of his underestimation of the enemy." Bian Wushuang said solemnly.

"What more could you ask for?"

"The minister's 20,000 soldiers and horses, although the armor is not complete, but compared to the current equipment of the Chu army, it is still a lot worse, and the minister asks His Majesty to change the clothes for the minister's 20,000 army." Bian Wushuang arched his hand.

This is a small request, but Min Ruoying's face is embarrassed because of this small request." Bian Qing probably doesn't know, now the best weapons of my Ming Dynasty are all purchased from the Ming Kingdom, and the weapons of the Ming Kingdom are all from the sea through Quanzhou, and they are all handed over to Cheng Wuben, and I can't interfere at all. And the Jinghu Water Master is the only one who is from the Cheng Wuben. It's my Fire Phoenix Army, and I haven't gotten these weapons yet. Previously, Qing also wanted to use the Jinghu Water Division, but I was afraid that it would be very difficult."

When he said this, he was furious and angry: "But the silver taels used to buy these weapons were taken out of the treasury."

Bian Wushuang was silent for a moment: "In this case, when the minister arrives at Jinghu, he will go to find Cheng Shuai to speak, and as for the Jinghu Water Master, the minister will also find a way to pry it from Cheng Shuai's hands."

"Is this possible? Why did you come to Jinghu, Cheng Wuben knew it well, how could he add wings to the tiger?" Min Ruoying said in surprise.

"Your Majesty, no matter what, the minister always has to try. Moreover, Cheng Wu is handsome, and he may be disloyal to the king, but patriotism is beyond doubt. The minister counterattacked the six eastern counties, and if he did not move his Jinghu soldiers, he would not shake his Jinghu roots, so he should be happy to see it. Victory, great Chu gains, defeat, Jinghu will still hold the second line of defense, no matter how bad it is, it will not be bad, so the minister thinks that Cheng Shuai will still agree."

"Go ahead and do it, all I can give you now is enough food and unreserved support." Min Ruoying said a little helplessly.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, even if Bian is just for those soldiers and civilians who followed me to Great Chu, he will fight hard for His Majesty and for the Chu State." Bian Wushuang stood up and bowed.

"Good, very good, I live up to me, I live up to you. Go ahead, and then the decree will give you the rank of lieutenant commander of the East." Min Ruoying sat down and looked at Bian Wushuang.

"Minister, thank you, Lord Longen!" Bian Wushuang knelt down, bowed respectfully to Min Ruoying, then stood up, took a few steps back, and then turned around and walked away.

Min Ruoying silently looked at Bian Wushuang's disappearing back, and after a while, she asked softly, "How?"

A secret door opened silently, but sitting inside was the head of the Chu State to the east, on his left and right sides, the Chu State was enshrined in Wei Zelong, and Sun Chenglong stood on the left and right. Ma Xiangdong is not proficient in martial arts, the two of them stand left and right, but in order to cover Ma Xiangdong's traces, his two martial arts cultivation is not under Bian Wushuang, the two work together, but Bian Wushuang can't detect Ma Xiangdong's traces here.

"Your Majesty, Bian Wushuang is credible, he led his soldiers and people to defect to Great Chu, in fact, there is no way back, except to rely on His Majesty, there is no other way to survive, even if he is allowed to take Cheng Wuben and replace him, he will not be able to cause harm to Chu like Cheng Wuben. It's just that Chen feels a little unbelievable that he is so confident in defeating Zhou Jiyun!" Horse to the east.

"As a general, self-confidence is not a bad thing. And this person is indeed a man of real talent. What's more, as he said, if he goes, whether he wins or loses, it will not affect the Jinghu defense, which is why I support him." Min Ruoying said slowly. If he succeeds, then this game of chess will be alive, and the hundreds of thousands of troops on the Jinghu defense line will be returned to the control of the imperial court, and if he can take the six eastern counties, then my Great Chu will have a strategic buffer."

"Your Majesty, if the war resumes, the national strength will be a little tight." Ma Xiangdong was embarrassed and said, "In less than a year, we have borrowed 10 million taels from the Ming State Changlong Bank, and the interest alone is a lot of money every year. A few days ago, I summoned Changlong's shopkeeper in Dachu to discuss borrowing another sum's money, but Changlong's shopkeeper made a request, which made the minister very embarrassed."

"What are they asking for?"

"They asked our Great Chu to use the national commercial tax as collateral, that is to say, the future commercial tax of the Chu State will be collected by them to compensate for the principal and interest of the loan from Changlong." Ma Xiangdong watched the emperor's face change, and he was also embarrassed in his heart, handing over a country's taxes to others to collect, what is the difference between this and land reparations? The same loss of power and humiliation of the country.

Changlong is now like a huge blood-sucking monster, lying on the body of the Chu State, constantly pumping the blood of the Chu State, because of the Changlong Bank, the paper money of the Ming Dynasty has become popular in the Chu State, and has become the main circulating currency, so that the circulation currency such as the copper coins of the Chu State has gradually withdrawn from the market, and the slightly larger cities have basically stopped using copper coins, only those remote and backward places, copper coins are still in circulation.

A large amount of copper, silver, and silver are flowing to the Ming Dynasty in a steady stream and become the nourishment for the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, there is no shortage of people in the Chu State who are quite accomplished in this way, but in the face of the situation that the Chu State is facing now, there is no way.

The successive defeats of the Chu State, the collapse of the domestic economy, the peasant uprising has spread like a spark in the country, the business is withering, the agriculture is collapsing, and the tax revenue is sharply reduced.

Ma Xiangdong could only watch the situation get worse day by day. Or, a big victory can be used to boost the morale of the people, not to mention anything else, at least it can reduce external pressure, and it can also cause great mental pressure on those who are unscrupulous internally. If the domestic rebellion can be quelled, or the form will be a little better.

Min Ruoying gritted her teeth for a long time, and finally nodded: "The commercial tax is given to them, but the imperial court immediately issued a decree that all those who are farmers are not allowed to do business or engage in other things. Shoufu, agriculture and mulberry as the foundation, as long as the people are fixed on the land, let them honestly grow grain for us, the situation will slowly get better. General Bian Wenzhong led 20,000 troops to join the Qin army to quell the rebellion, and with this strong force, I believe that the domestic rebellion will be put down in a few days."
