Chapter 418: Eating Deflated
Yue Yang returned to his temporary residence in Weihaiwei, a three-open, four-entry courtyard, not very large but the largest house that could be found here, and currently only lived with Yue Yang and a group of personal soldiers to protect his safety.
After returning to his residence, Yue Yang began to think about it, this wood for shipbuilding is really a big problem, after so many years of cutting, it is difficult to find a large number of woods in the interior of the Ming Dynasty that can build ships, and even if there are, they are all in those deep mountains and old forests, not to mention the long distance, and even if they are cut, it is difficult to transport them out.
"If you don't want to be in modern time and space...... Absolutely not! β
As soon as this idea came out, Yue Yang himself vetoed it, the trees used for shipbuilding must be at least decades old, the environment of modern time and space is bad enough, if he runs to cut down trees again, it will not be a sin.
"Trees can't be cut down, so let's wait for the jade pendant to repair some in two days and then go to Hyundai to move cement." I didn't expect that the elder brother would become a cement porter, and he really went back more and more. Alas...... Cement is easy to say, but big trees are hard to find! Thinking of this, Yue Yang couldn't help but sigh a little.
Just when Yue Yang was worried about the big tree needed for shipbuilding, Chen Dazhi's voice came from outside the door: "Master Hou, there is a businessman outside who asks to see you." β
"Merchant? Still asking to see you? Yue Yang walked to the door and glanced at Chen Dazhi curiously, why is this guy so unreliable now, who can you see now?
Seeing Yue Yang's slightly reproachful gaze, Chen Dazhi hurriedly explained: "Master Hou, it's not that he is reckless, but that this businessman showed this thing to his humble position. After speaking, Chen Dazhi took out something from his arms and handed it to Yue Yang.
Yue Yang saw that it was a waist card, and the waist card was also engraved with a line of words in Manchu and Chinese. Of course. I don't know a word about Manchu Yueyang, but I understand Hanwen Yueyang, and what is engraved on it is the nine words "Scholar of the Secretariat Academy of the Qing Dynasty".
"The person who came is from the Manchu Qing Dynasty!" Yue Yang was slightly taken aback when he saw it, and immediately asked, "How many people are there?" β
"There are only a dozen people!" Chen Dazhi hurriedly replied.
"More than a dozen people dared to come to me to see me, they are quite bold!" Seeing that this represented the enemy's waist card, Yue Yang did not feel angry. On the contrary, I was curious. He is the sworn enemy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which one of these dares to come to his own territory to see him.
Looking at Yue Yang's contemplative face, Chen Dazhi asked cautiously, "Master Hou, do you want to bring people in?" β
Yue Yang nodded: "Well, bring in the one you are for." However, you should pay attention to safety, and there are more people around, understand? "As for security, our Comrade Yue Yang believes that no matter how much attention is paid to it, it is not too much. After all, Comrade Paul Kochagin also said it. You only live once. The most precious thing for human beings is life.
"Yes!"
Chen Dazhi retreated for a while, and only then did there be a slight sound of footsteps outside, and then a middle-aged man of medium stature with a kind smile walked in. I saw that the person who came to Yue Yang walked to Yue Yang, bowed deeply, and said loudly: "Fan Wencheng, a scholar of the Secretariat Academy in the Qing Dynasty and a second-class Lazhang Jing, has seen the Marquis Zhongyong, and I wish the Marquis Zhongyong Futai and good health!" β
"What...... Fan Wencheng? Yue Yang, who was looking at the visitor, was taken aback when he heard the other party's name, "You are Fan Wencheng?" β
"How...... Does Hou Ye know Fan? Seeing Yue Yang's surprised appearance, Fan Wencheng was also slightly surprised, although Fan Wencheng could be said to be famous in later generations, almost as famous as Qin Hui and others, but at this time, his reputation was not obvious. Almost no one knew him in the Ming Dynasty, and now he couldn't help but be surprised to see Yue Yang surprised by the name he had reported.
"The famous Fan naturally knew Ben Hou when he was in college!" Yue Yang said with some emotion. Unexpectedly, this famous traitor in later generations is not the legendary sharp-beaked monkey gills and does not have a pair of triangular eyes, but is like an ordinary and seemingly honest ordinary uncle next door. But this is also normal, no one stipulates that bad guys are ugly, for example, Wang Jingwei, who was later recognized as a big traitor, is one of the four handsome guys of the famous Republic of China.
Hearing Yue Yang say this, Fan Wencheng was more vigilant in his heart, as a Han but working hard for the Manchurians, he was naturally cautious on weekdays for fear of attracting the attention of others, but now when he heard that Yue Yang, as a high-ranking and powerful person, knew himself so well, he naturally thought that the Ming Dynasty had set his sights on him, how could he not be frightened.
Seeing Fan Wencheng's uncertain expression, Yue Yang laughed and pointed to the chair next to him: "Mr. Fan, sit down!" β
"Master Xie!" Fan Wencheng tried to calm down before sitting down.
Looking at Fan Wencheng Yueyang, who was sitting on the side, he smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Fan, I don't know what you have to do when you come to find Ben Hou this time?" β
Fan Wencheng took a deep breath and said to Yue Yang: "Marquis Yue, Fan came here on the orders of my Qing Emperor......
"Wait......"
Fan Wencheng was interrupted by Yue Yang only halfway through his words, only to see a faint sneer on the corner of his mouth and said to him: "Mr. Fan, the Qing Emperor you are talking about is Dolgon, I want to ask you, when did the Ninety-Five Emperor be so worthless, and a barbarian who came out of a corner could call himself the emperor?" β
"I ......"
Fan Wencheng only felt that a breath of stuffy air was blocked in his chest and he almost couldn't spit it out, and after taking two deep breaths, Fan Wencheng held back his anger and said: "Marquis Yue, please respect yourself, my Great Qing Dynasty Taizu has already established Dajin in the first year of the Mandate of Heaven, and then I show merit to Emperor Wen and should Dajin be the Great Qing Dynasty, and now the matter of my Great Qing Kingdom has become a fact, even if you want to deny it, it is useless." β
"Huh...... Great Qing Kingdom? β
Yue Yang smiled contemptuously, "If Ben Hou is not mistaken, Nurhachi is the godson of Li Chengliang, a famous general of this dynasty, and also a dragon and tiger general who has been canonized by my Ming Dynasty...... Oh, that's what you said about Shengjing, this is the Jurchen established Houjin, and then Huang Taiji felt that the title of Great Khan was too small to be worthy of him, and set himself up as the emperor, and now that Huang Taiji is dead, Dolgon's younger brother also called himself emperor, and Ben Hou wondered. Is it true that all people are so shameless? A small tribe with only 100,000 soldiers and no more than 1 million people dares to claim the title of emperor, this cheeky is really thick! β
"You ......" Fan Wencheng roared angrily and stood up, pointed at Yue Yang and shouted: "Marquis Yue, I respect you as the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty, but you insult me so much. Aren't you afraid of stirring up trouble between the two countries? β
"Haha...... Hahaha......"
Fan Wencheng's words had just been finished. But he heard Yue Yang laughing, the laughter became louder and louder, and finally he was about to breathe with laughter, and after a long time, Yue Yang pointed at Fan Wencheng and said, "The incident between the two countries? Thanks to what you said, Ben Hou asked you, if Ben Hou really provokes the incident between the two countries, what can you do to me? Don't talk about your Great Qing Kingdom, if Ben Hou wants to deal with you at any time. Believe it or not, if Ben Hou is unhappy one day, he can send tens of thousands of elite soldiers to Shengjing at any time to take a walk. If you are not satisfied, you can let your so-called Eight Banners elite pull out and break your wrists with Ben Hou. β
"You ......"
At this time, Fan Wencheng almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, he felt that he simply felt that he had met a madman, and he was still an aggressive madman, not only was he aggressive in his words and shouted and killed at every turn, but the biggest problem was that he still had the strength of this madman, so that his original strategy and rhetoric were completely useless.
Sitting down again and forcibly swallowing the stuffiness in his chest, he said to Yue Yang: "Marquis Yue, Fan came with great sincerity this time. You have humiliated Fan three times and twice, if it is passed out, won't it insult your identity? β
"Oh...... Hearing you say this, Ben Hou is really wrong? Do I need to make amends to you? Yue Yang said indifferently: "Okay." In this case, Ben Hou will no longer scold you, tell me your intentions, right? β
"That's great!" Fan Wencheng was about to speak, but suddenly his eyes saw the smile that flashed in the eyes of Yue Yang, who was sitting next to him, and he suddenly realized that he had just fallen in love with this guy, this guy was deliberately trying to provoke himself just now, the purpose was to distract himself so that he could take the initiative in the next conversation, what kind of madman is this guy, he is simply a cunning fox! Thinking of this, Fan Wencheng's eyes when he looked at Yue Yang were even more fearful.
Fan Wencheng deserved to be a famous strategist of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he quickly calmed down, and he arched his hand towards Yue Yangyi and said: "Marquis Yue, no matter how reluctant you are to Dajin has established the country, this matter will not change in any way according to your and my wishes, even if you ridicule it, it is useless, do you say yes?" β
"Huh...... Well, you can explain what you want to do. Yue Yang still had a faint look on his face, but at this time there was more vigilance on his face, this Fan Wencheng could wake up from his anger so quickly, it seems that it is not easy for people to leave their names in history.
Fan Wencheng arched his hand and said: "Marquis Yue, Fan has come to inform you on the order of my Emperor XiΓ of the Great Qing Dynasty that I am willing to reach an agreement with you, and the Great Qing Dynasty has reached a tacit understanding with the Ming army in Liaodong and the surrounding area. If the Xuanda army under your command no longer invades our Qing Dynasty, you will no longer be allowed to support the Mongolian tribes that are enemies of my Qing Dynasty, such as Horqin, Chahar and other tribes, and my Qing Dynasty will also assure you that my Qing Dynasty iron weapons will no longer enter the Ming border, and you and I can share peace, I don't know what Hou Ye wants? β
β%οΏ₯#οΌ *&β¦β¦β
Yue Yang couldn't help but be stunned, and stared at Fan Wencheng for a long time without making a sound. Fan Wencheng was also furious by Yue Yang's heart, and blurted out: "I don't know what Marquis Yue means by looking at Fan like this?" β
"It's nothing, Ben Hou is just very strange that you can even make such a shameless request." Yue Yang shook his head helplessly: "Ben Hou just wants to ask you, what kind of capital do you have in the Qing Dynasty to dare to make such an unreasonable request?" You must not support the Mongol tribes that are your enemies. You just want to wait for you to destroy the disobedient Mongol tribes, and then recuperate for a few decades before you come back to the field. Do you and Dorgon really think Benhou is a fool and don't even know such an obvious thing? β
Fan Wencheng, who was exposed to the wishful abacus, did not feel the slightest embarrassment, but smiled faintly and said: "Hou Ye Yue has seen thousands of miles, and the small plan naturally can't hide it from you, but Fan doesn't understand that now Hou Ye has annexed tens of thousands of troops in Liaodong, but why didn't he take advantage of the emperor's return to heaven to conquer Jing, but annexed Liaodong and didn't move?" β
"Hahaha......" Yue Yang laughed, this time he looked at Fan Wencheng with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, this guy can make the angry young people of later generations grit their teeth with hatred It is indeed his superiority, whether it is strategy and courage or dealing with people, he is not in a hurry, but it is a pity that he is willing to be a Tartar lackey. It's a pity!
It was not surprising that Fan Wencheng had broken his layout in Liaodong, not only him, but also many courtiers of the Ming Dynasty also understood their own careful thoughts, but so what? He has made countless enemies in Daming now, and I don't know how many people in the court want to deal with him quickly. Even Chongzhen was so jealous of himself at the beginning. It wasn't until later that he saw that he really couldn't do anything about himself, so he changed to Huai Rou's strategy, otherwise he would have issued an edict to marry the princess to himself?
Seeing that Yue Yang was silent, Fan Wencheng said skillfully like a snake: "Master Hou must know that now the Ming Dynasty is suspicious of you in every way, and the reason why it has not dealt with you is nothing more than two reasons: one is because you have heavy troops, and the court does not dare to do anything to you under the rat trap. The second is because I have the Qing Dynasty on my side, if I do it to you without authorization, then I will have no counterbalance to the opponent, which will lead to unpredictable consequences. I don't know if what Fan said is right? β
"Hmm. You are very smart! Yue Yang nodded lightly and praised: "No wonder the former Emperor Taiji would use you so much." β
"Hou Ye also thinks what Fan said is reasonable?" Seeing that Yue Yang did not deny his words, Fan Wencheng said happily: "Before Fan came, the emperor said that if the Hou Ye is willing to submit to my Qing Dynasty, the emperor is willing to crown you as the king of one word and shoulder to shoulder, and he is willing to share the ...... with you in the future."
"Enough!" Yue Yang's cold snort sounded in the room, "Fan Wencheng, Ben Hou respects you as a guest from afar, so that you can score three points." If you talk nonsense again, don't blame Ben Hou for being unkind to you. β
Looking at Yue Yang's face full of anger, Fan Wencheng knew that this guy was no joke. He is still clear about the reason why a hero does not suffer immediate losses. Facing the angry Yue Yang, he simply shut his mouth.
Looking at Fan Wencheng, Yue Yang sneered: "Fan Wencheng, Ben Hou admits that you do have a little bit of eloquence, but you must know that now Ben Hou has more than 100,000 soldiers, but if he had the mind to sit on the throne of the Forbidden City, he would have already waved his troops to the Beijing Division, and he still needed to return to the Manchu Qing Tartars and wait for you to reward him?" Or do you think I'm used to being a slave like you, and when I see a tartar, I have to kneel down a thousand times, and I think it's fragrant when the tartar farts.
And Ben Hou is not afraid to sue you, the reason why Ben Hou does not have soldiers Shengjing now, there is indeed a sense of self-preservation, after all, keeping you Tartars is still of some use to Ben Hou, but you must not think that Ben Hou can't do without you, if you really want to annoy Ben Hou, Ben Hou will fight Shengjing, and drive you back to the deep mountains and old forests to be savages, you must not challenge Ben Hou's patience! β
Yue Yang's words were simple and direct, but for people like Fan Wencheng, it was often such direct words that were most effective. It was because he was silent for a while after listening to Yue Yang's words, and then he smiled bitterly and said to Yue Yang: "Marquis Yue, Fan has been taught." I don't know what Master Hou taught me? β
Seeing that Fan Wencheng finally put on a look of resignation, Yue Yang snorted coldly: "Don't dare to give advice, you go back and tell SΓΉ Dolgon, let him settle down during this time, and don't bother to pay attention to the Horqin grassland, as long as you settle down, I don't bother to trouble you, but it's not so simple to let Ben Hou let you go, I believe you also went to the dock to see when you came, and now Ben Hou wants to rebuild the water division and there is still a shortage of wood, you can send someone to cut down wood and sell it to Ben Hou, How about this Hou can be exchanged for silver or grain...... It's a good deal, right? β
This idea was also improvised by Yue Yang after seeing Fan Wencheng, after all, those Manchurians live in Liaodong, and they know the situation there best, and they can't get around them if they want to get timber from Liaodong, so it's better to show them that they need timber to build ships, do you want silver? Want food? Then exchange it for wood!
After listening to Yue Yang's words, Fan Wencheng smiled bitterly, this Marquis Yue spoke too directly, not as far as the officials of the Ming Dynasty spoke, this guy is really an outlier.
Seeing that Fan Wencheng didn't speak for a long time, Yue Yang asked lightly, "What...... Don't you think this business is cost-effective? β
"Of course it's a good deal...... Of course it's a good deal! "In the face of such a domineering Yueyang, what else can Fan Wencheng say, looking at his face, as long as he doesn't say half a word, I'm afraid that it won't take a few days for Jinzhou's Xuanda army to come to Shengjing City for an armed parade. But after this thing was done, they didn't suffer any losses, so he could only agree with a wry smile.
"Then it's settled." Yue Yang was very satisfied with this result, just by paying a little silver and food, he could exchange for a large amount of urgently needed wood, which was very worthwhile no matter how he looked at it.
"Mr. Fan, is there anything else?"
Seeing that the timber problem that had given him a headache just now was expected to be solved, Yue Yang was in a good mood, and called back Mr. Fan Wencheng's address.
Fan Wencheng took a deep breath, and then arched his hand and said, "It's okay!" β
Yue Yang said lightly: "Since that's the case, then Ben Hou won't leave Mr. Ben to eat here." Mr. Fan, please take care of yourself! β
"Then Fan has resigned!"
Fan Wencheng, who was holding back the fire in his belly, did not speak again, and walked out as soon as he arched his hand towards Yue Yang...... (To be continued~^~)ββ131O8+D6Su9H+1O649OO4ββ>
