Chapter 744: Sharpening the Knife

Leng Feishuang also seemed to feel that the atmosphere had changed a little bit, although the more he entered the WTO, the stronger his cultivation became, but there was always a red line that he didn't want to touch. At that point, I am afraid that I will be completely ruined and shattered. She deliberately made a straight face, "Don't mess around, this boat is so small, if you don't pay attention to it, I know how to water, so it's hard for you to say." ”

Stand up and stand at the bow of the boat facing the autumn wind, "Actually, it's like this West Lake, it's beautiful, and then it's enough for you to look at it, why do you have to move home?" Our Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect will automatically abdicate after thirty, because fairies cannot grow old, but people will grow old. In a few years, I'll be old and ugly, and I don't want to be locked up in a dark room by you or counting my fingers and calculating when it will be your turn to see me. In fact, when men and women get to that point, what's the point, take off your clothes, let you do that kind of thing, and give you children. And then what? You already have so many concubines, even the women of the former dynasty have become your women, why do you have to do it with me. Of course, if you have to think about it, as long as you can really realize your vision, I ...... Maybe I really promised to do something like that with you, but I still won't marry you. In my life, I probably won't marry anyone, you have no hope. ”

Yang Chengzu smiled, "I really want to do that kind of thing with you, men chase women, if you don't want to do that kind of thing, then it's called a problem." But this is not a transaction, but you are willing to obey me, whether you are willing to obey me, I have to fight the Japanese to run a shop, and it is not interesting to use this as a bargaining chip. Ben Gongzi is so famous, hook his fingers, I don't know how many celebrities in this city are willing to let me into their boudoir, why do I have to use this method to trade? ”

Leng Feishuang smiled, with a bit of sarcasm in her tone, "Great talent, what you said is not unreasonable. It's a pity that one mountain can't tolerate two tigers, now there is Yang Sheng'an Yang Dagongzi in Hangzhou City, you can't compare to him in terms of talent, those daughters, and even the painting boat Oiran, most of them put him in their hearts, you, it's still worse. Only a little woman like a demon will accompany you to the West Lake, the real ladies are all dressed up and waiting to participate in Yang Gongzi's poetry meeting. ”

After she finished saying this, she smiled again, and sat back next to Yang Chengzu, "But in my opinion, Yang Caizi's knowledge is indeed better than yours, but when it comes to being useful, it may not be as good as you." Everyone says that talent is good, and in my opinion, it is nothing more than that. If you can't do practice, what's the point of exporting a full stomach? ”

"Don't say that, this time the great talent is still a little useful, with him, it is always much more convenient for us to turn into a relationship." Yang Chengzu is very open-minded, in fact, he is grateful to Yang Shen from the bottom of his heart. The two want to say that they have a good relationship, but in fact, they can't talk about it, last time in the matter of the grain merchant, he refuted his face, Yang Shen thinks very highly of himself, and he doesn't say anything about it, and he has a grudge in his heart. Fortunately, he can distinguish the importance of the matter, and he will not be hindered in official affairs because he is unhappy, and it is also a dream to say that the relationship between the two can be improved because of the joint suppression of the widows.

Yang Chengzu didn't really care if this talented man or Shoufu Gongzi could become friends with him, what he was grateful for was that with this person, he could save a lot of trouble, knock over a lot of vinegar jars, and by the way, it would be more convenient to raise funds.

Although the plague was fierce, it only slaughtered Ningbo, and it was far from Hangzhou. What happened in Ningbo, Hangzhou only deeply regretted it, and there may not be any real feelings about it. Although the new army is being trained here, and all things are being rectified and prepared, the gentry and businessmen, and the famous families, still have the banquet as before, and the poetry and literature will be as before. If you want them to pay money to fight the Japanese for the people of Ningbo, I am afraid that more of it will not be paid lip service.

Yang Shen's talent is famous all over the world, as soon as he arrived in Hangzhou, he was immediately greeted by local talents, and everyone sang the wind and the moon together, which was both elegant and emotional. As for war or business, it is the work of rough people, and they can point out the country and exalt the words, criticize the mistakes of command, or the officials are lazy, and the soldiers do not need to die, but they will not really end up doing it.

Using his talent and identity, Yang Shen opened his mouth a few times, and no one among those gentry would refute his face. Even if you don't consider his identity as a talented man, you should also consider the identity of the son of the first assistant, which is more convenient than the distribution of money and food by Zhejiang Buzheng. As for the local famous ladies, it is even more difficult to say how many of them have a love for Yang Shen.

In this regard, the female dependents of the Yang family belong to a group of outliers, and since the last time they fried grain and killed people on a snowy night, the female dependents and servants of the Yang family have become Yang Chengzu's ironcore. Now they are either busy with the expansion of business, or busy with the raising of the new army, the allocation of grain and grass, and the statistics of money, grain and equipment.

Although there are many people from Fengyue or big families, but now they are not interested in the poetry club, and for this great talent, that is, they know that he is very good at poetry and is very emotional, and then he should do whatever he wants.

For them, what their lord or husband wants to do is the real big thing. Its value is not something that can be measured by one or two poems, or a few articles. Although the latter said that it could be famous for eternity, or to educate the people. But whether it is the ages or the people, they are too far away, and everyone is more concerned about themselves and the present. For the Yang family, military training is the most important thing, and there is no one.

Yang Chengzu knew in his heart that the scene in the southeast was so big this time, and on the surface, Jiajing felt that his face was gloomy because of the Ningbo incident, and he was desperate to find face and come back. The reason inside is not so simple, he still wants to form his own team and have an army that is completely subordinate to him.

The restoration of Jinyiwei is to win the hearts of the factory guards, completely bring this internal security agency under the imperial power, and make the minions not used by outsiders. But no matter how powerful Jinyiwei is, it is not internal. If you want to prevent the recurrence of the Renwu incident, the most important thing is the army.

The new army of the tenth battalion is the first step for the emperor to take, in the name of Pingwei, first train an army that is completely obedient to his orders, and use them as his henchmen in the future.

In another time and space, Qi Jiguang used Yiwu miners to train the new army, and Yang Chengzu heard about it. But if he really went to Yiwu to find miners, it would be a boat for a sword. Considering Qi Jingtong's oolong, if he insists on going to Yiwu, he may not even be able to recruit soldiers.

The training is mainly in a selection of pawns and a drill, not only Yiwu miners. His targets were all over Zhejiang Province, and his personnel included farmers, miners, and the children of military guards. In short, it is necessary to balance the forces of all parties while ensuring the reliability of the members of the troops and ensuring combat effectiveness.

As for the cost of training the new army, it was ordered by the imperial court to levy and promote in Zhejiang, that is, to collect taxes in advance. At the same time, a donation prison was also opened, as long as you donate a sum of money, you can get a prison title, and the rest is to collect donations. However, in Zhejiang, even the regular tax may not be collected, and the draft must prevent civil unrest, so funding is the biggest problem.

Yang Chengzu used the method of remembering the bitterness of later generations, and found a group of people to come out to play the refugees in Ningbo, and went to various places to preach the tragic situation of the attack on Ningbo that day. At the same time, Yang Ji's troupe also took the opportunity of the performance to perform more loyal dramas, and began to raise funds after the performance.

From the current point of view, although the funding is still a problem, there have been some eyebrows, and this road has some effect. Of course, if you want to recruit ten battalions, you will definitely not be able to do it, but Yang Chengzu doesn't want to really recruit ten battalions from the beginning, whether it is equipment or personnel, they can't keep up, and they can't maintain such a large scale.

With the supplies and officer reserves he had at hand, recruiting about six battalions would be the limit. It was to remove the existing Yang Ji workers and recruit three more battalions, forming five battalions before and after.

At this stage, the main focus is on military training, not to rush out to cut off people's heads, but to conduct training and then sing military songs. In short, it is to put up a shelf and tell others that our new army has been established, and the imperial court already has a strong force in the southeast. No matter who dares to disobey the words of the court or the emperor, I will run over and kill without mercy.
