"Meet Master Chen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info"Zhang Keda stepped forward and wanted to kneel and bow.

"Lord Zhang doesn't need to be polite." Chen Yingyuan hurriedly stepped forward to help, Chen Yingyuan will never hold it up here and now, from the beginning he must show a posture of sincere cooperation, and get through the difficulties together.

"Meet the Keeper." Zhang Keda bowed to Zhang Guoyuan, this time Zhang Guoyuan did not stop him, he knew that this was Zhang Keda bowing to the Son of Heaven he represented, and this ceremony could not be abolished.

"Mr. Zhang, please get up." Zhang Guoyuan waited for Zhang Keda to finish his salute, and took a few steps forward to help Zhang Keda up.

"Meet Mr. Zhang." Zhao Lie stepped forward to kneel and salute.

"Commander Zhao doesn't need to be polite." Zhang Keda stepped forward to help Zhao Lie up.

Zhang Ke's big eyes swept over, and he saw Zhao Lie looking at him with a smile, his eyes were firm and sincere, and he nodded without dodging.

Other civil and military succession with Zhang Ke salute.

Zhang Keda took a look, and saw that the sailor was left with the acting of the same knowledge of the Denglai sailor, and there was no one in the army, and the others were all Li Youde and the commanders of various guards.

"Lord Zhang worked hard all the way, first entered the city to settle the soldiers, the mansion has been settled, wait for Lord Zhang to bathe and change clothes, and wash the dust for General Zhang at night." Chen Yingyuan said with a smile.

"It's so bothering adults." The reception banquet is a must, and it is also the beginning of the contact and run-in of the officials, although Zhang Keda said that he was very tired, but he still nodded yes.

"Since Lord Zhang has already led his troops to arrive, the headquarters of the lower officials will immediately enter Shuicheng and hand over the defense of Dengzhou City to General Zhang." Zhao Lie arched his hand.

"There is Lao Zhao in command." Zhang Ke laughed and arched his hand, satisfied in his heart, he was still worried when he came if Zhao Lie did not hand over the city defense. It's a really hard thing to do.

After all, Zhao Lie's subordinates were much more than his subordinates. He has now brought 800 of his cronies. Zhao Lie is a division of thousands of tigers and wolves, incomparable, at this time Zhao Lie took the initiative to withdraw, and the problem was solved.

Chen Yingyuan and Zhang Guoyuan also breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Lie finally withdrew from Dengzhou, and they have been walking on thin ice these days, after all, the city defense is controlled by Zhao Lie, which makes them feel very uncomfortable. I always suspect that this is still the world of the Ming Dynasty.

The generals of the capital division are also a lot more relaxed, if Zhang Keda arrives with Zhao Lie, how can they deal with themselves, and Zhang Keda is estranged, that is also the top boss, nominally control all the soldiers in Denglai, and get closer to Zhang Keda, think about the burning people, their bodies are cold, and now it seems that Zhang Keda and Zhao Lie have not clashed. That way they won't be too embarrassed.

Everyone rushed to Dengzhou.

Before Zhang Keda entered Dengzhou, he carefully studied the defense of Dengzhou City. I saw several huge cannons on the southern city pointing obliquely at the sky, and the all-armored Zhao Lie soldiers on the city tower were on guard, still in the black and red outfit they were wearing two years ago.

The dinner was held in the governor's yamen official office, all Denglai Wenwu attended, the atmosphere was also harmonious, all the officials toasted Zhang Keda one by one, Zhang Keda was slightly lip wet, now is not the time to drink.

After the banquet, Chen Yingyuan and Zhang Guoyuan left Zhang Keda, they really had a lot to talk to Zhang Keda, and they had been aggrieved in Dengzhou for a long time, and it was really difficult to do some things that were not coordinated.

After coming to the back, after the three of them sat down, the next person offered fragrant tea, and the three of them drank the tea first to relieve the alcohol.

"Lord Zhang, this time the Holy Lord appointed you as the chief soldier of Denglai, and the official is also a lot more relaxed, and now Denglai is in ruins, it is really not easy." Chen Yingyuan said with a smile.

"Mengsheng takes a fancy to it, and has been promoted and reused repeatedly, and Zhang dares not to die." Zhang Keda arched his hand.

"The Zhang family is a noble of the Ming Dynasty, and he has always been loyal, long live his eyes like a torch." Zhang Guoyuan said with a smile.

"Xia Guan has just arrived, and he doesn't know anything about Denglai, after all, after Kong Rebellion, Denglai has changed greatly, which is very different from two years ago." Zhang Ke laughed and arched his hand to the two.

"Yes, now the treasury of Denglai Mansion is empty, not only the silver treasury is empty, but even the armor granary is also empty. Don't hide it from Lord Zhang, spring plowing is about to begin, but the official has no rice and grain to help the spring famine. Chen Yingyuan was bitter.

When Sun Yuanhua Denglai had a salary of 800,000 taels a year, of course, drifting was necessary, and there must be nearly 600,000 taels of silver, but when he came here, he only had 300,000 taels of food, and now it is only 150,000.

How can this be, just to pay food and salary to the officials and soldiers, let alone to help the people and reorganize the armament.

Zhang Keda frowned, "Now the Denglai soldiers must be rebuilt, I heard that there are less than 2,000 soldiers in Denglai only in Laizhou, and there is not a single soldier in the Dengzhou war barracks, may I ask the two adults, whether this matter is true." ”

"This matter is true, it can be said that in the past few months, Zhao Lie's command has been stationed in Dengzhou, all the soldiers have been lost, there is no one in ten sailors, and Kong Youde is a dog thief." Zhang Guoyuan gritted his teeth and said, although Kong Youde has been awarded the head, Zhang Guoyuan still hates him monstrously.

"Hey, let's just say that the reconstruction of 3,000 Dengzhou soldiers, 2,000 standard barracks, a total of 5,000 soldiers and horses, the armor and horses here will cost nearly 200,000 taels of silver, if it is a cavalry 1,000 meters, it will cost nearly 300,000 taels of silver, this... Zhang Keda looked at the two of them, he was in charge of the army, but he had no financial power, so he could only ask the two for help.

"Alas, this official has sent three letters of invitation to the cabinet and Banzai, but there has been no reply so far, and this official is also anxious." Chen Yingyuan stroked his palms and sighed.

"Hmph, Dengzhou is not without armor, 100,000 rebels are wiped out, where is their armor," Zhang Guoyuan sneered, "I asked Zhao Lie several times, but he just shirked and was damaged on the battlefield, leaving only two or three thousand broken cotton armor and leather armor to deal with, and there were only dozens of iron armor." ”

Zhang Guoyuan shook his head, "Do you really treat everyone in the world as a fool?" ”

"Oh, there's something else." Zhang Keda thought about it for a moment.

"Could it be that Mr. Zhang still wants to ask Zhao Lie for something." Zhang Guoyuan was puzzled.

"It doesn't have to be done." Zhang Ke laughed loudly.

"Zhao Lie is ambitious, greedy, and the money, food, and armor in his hands will not come out at all, and he exchanged 300,000 taels of silver for the position of Denglai Dusi last time, which made Banzai extremely dissatisfied."

Zhang Guoyuan was extremely unoptimistic, but he remembered the roar of the Son of Heaven when he received the report, this Zhao Lie was simply blackmailing the Heavenly Family and the Cabinet, how could the Son of Heaven not hate it.

"Lord Chen, Lord Zhang, the two adults are the ministers of the humerus of the Son of Heaven, this time I also saw the current situation in Dengzhou, this will be just a martial artist, let a certain go into battle to kill the enemy, but there is no armor and horses, this general is at a loss, I hope that the two adults can say more to the Son of Heaven, how much money and food, and how to reorganize the Denglai soldiers."

Zhang Keda took a deep look,

"Otherwise, if there is something going on in Dongjiang and Liaodong in Japan, I can't do anything about Denglai, but I'm afraid that I will be disappointed by the Son of Heaven."

"This," Chen Yingyuan smiled bitterly, he put down the tea bowl, "It's not that the official shirks, the official has already written to the cabinet and the Son of Heaven three or four times, but now there is no news." ”

"Ahem," Zhang Guoyuan cleared his throat helplessly, "Our family will hand over the excerpt to the emperor tomorrow." If the Denglai army is not rebuilt, Zhao Lie will make a fuss. ”

"This is not enough, Zhao Lie has six or seven soldiers under his command, these silver taels must have exhausted the Zhao family's assets, and he will never have the ability to reorganize and train more elite soldiers." Zhang Keda asserted.

As a general, he knows too well that elite soldiers are not the same as guards, and that is to pile up the silver, such as Zhao Lie, iron armor, waist knives, spears, firearms, artillery, war horses, and food, which can make 10,000 elite soldiers, which requires six or seven hundred thousand taels of silver.

The Zhao family has some sea trade silver taels, and that is also limited, but it is so rough that the Zhao family can be hollowed out, and it is not easy to maintain the scale of the elite soldiers under his command now.

The problem is that Zhang Keda doesn't know at all, how can the Zhao family have so much sea trade silver, but Jinshan Yinshan has, which was looted through various methods, and now Beihua and Jeju have begun to feed back to Shidao headquarters, which can be said to be a great success.

"Mr. Zhang is reasonable." Chen Yingyuan nodded in agreement, he has never been in charge of military affairs as a civil servant, but he can carry this account, if the Zhao family has a million taels of silver, it is simply rich and rivals the country, and half of the Ming Dynasty's taxes can be fight, this is simply impossible.

Zhang Guoyuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The two adults haven't figured out a problem." ”

Zhang Keda and Chen Yingyuan looked at each other and were very puzzled.

"Zhao Lie has always been good at using soldiers, if he has completed the training of the garrison, even if he has no iron armor to protect himself, our family is afraid that ordinary soldiers will not be able to resist it." Zhang Guoyuan looked at Chen Yingyuan and Zhang Keda one by one, which was meaningful.

"Hey, that's possible." Zhang Keda also turned around, but he knew how weak the soldiers in the interior of the Ming Dynasty were, especially the guards, who were simply beggars.

Zhao Lie is good at training soldiers, there is no need to say much about this, his soldiers are not fully armored, and the beggar Ming army in the upper interior will also win a big victory, everyone is not fully armored, then it depends on the bravery.

Chen Yingyuan's heart tightened when he heard this, "In this way, after Lord Zhu and Lord Gao discussed with Zhao Lie, it was a big mistake to suggest to the cabinet and the Son of Heaven that Zhao Lie should be appointed as the capital secretary. ”

"Not really, the two of them didn't know what was going on here, and our family only figured it out under Lu Qianhu's advice." Nima, but don't hurt me, Gao Qiqian is a celebrity in front of Long Live Lord, let him hear this, how do we deal with ourselves.

"Lu Qianhu?" Zhang Keda looked at Zhang Guoyuan inquiringly.

"Jinyi Weinan Town, Fu Si Qianhu, is now stationed in Dengzhou on business." Zhang Guoyuan said dryly.

Chen Yingyuan was silent, in fact, he knew it well, but he would definitely not have any dealings with the people of Jinyiwei, otherwise he would be sprayed to death by Yushitai and Shilin.

Zhang Keda also knew that he didn't ask again, he didn't want to have anything to do with Jinyiwei, this is a sticky and untouchable character, and he also wants some official reputation.

"Lord Zhang, what Zhao Lie said is to hand over the town as soon as possible, and Lord Zhang can preside over the city defense in the past few days." Chen Yingyuan changed the topic, he didn't want to discuss anything about Jinyiwei.

"I guess it's just a few days." Zhang Keda nodded.

"It's not easy for me to see that Zhao Lie can hand over Dengzhou so happily." Zhang Guoyuan said suspiciously. (To be continued.) )
