Yang Meng's excerpt of the request to expand the army lasted more than a month, and finally it was smooth, but there was a big gap between the number and Yang Meng's request, Xiamen, Fuzhou, and Ningbo expanded Yong by 15,000 people, and Guangzhou and Shanghai Dao expanded Yong to 30,000 people, and the number of 75,000 people was increased by 50% compared with Yang Meng's invitation of 50,000.

Moreover, in the instructions, the imperial court also gave Yang Meng the right to reorganize the green battalion soldiers belonging to the other four major commercial ports, and the land division and water division directly under the four major commercial ports combined, there are also 50,000 of them, after cutting and expanding, the new battalions of the four major commercial ports will not be less than 30,000, this edict is actually to give Yang Meng 100,000 soldiers and horses!

Since the military expenses of the Yong Battalion were not from the imperial court, it was expected that there would be some increases and decreases in the number, but the green battalion soldiers belonging to the four major commercial ports were under Yang Meng's account, which was beyond Yang Meng's expectations.

"Commander, is this Su Shun excerpt so good?"

Su Shun is also a clan again, the court should guard against him, he has a fold, and he has an extra 100,000 troops in his hands, a strange thing!

"It's not Su Shun's excerpt, but the third master's holy family is in Zhenglong! Su Shun, although it is usable in the eyes of the imperial court, its role is far inferior to that of the third master, that kid just did the right thing at the right time, and he checked and balanced Zeng Zuo, I am afraid that the imperial court has already considered it.

The third master in the five major commercial ports of more than 70,000 practice brave, 30,000 or 40,000 green battalions, just enough to suppress the Anhui Jiangxi Zeng Zuo, when the time comes to disperse to practice bravery, the imperial court can still have 30,000 or 40,000 elite green battalions that can fight, the emperor and the military aircraft abacus, the fight is also clanging!

The third master, the chief thinks. Domestic affairs are still important. You are so careless. What a blessing! ”

During this time, the third master was obsessed with foreign things, he didn't talk and do things very carefully, and many things came when he opened his mouth, which is not a good thing in Xu Ziwei's opinion, or during this time, the third master wanted to entrust some things to himself and was weighing him Xu Ziwei!

Both. No matter which one it is, Xu Ziwei has the need to open his mouth to remind, and he glanced at his third master helplessly, Xu Ziwei can only follow the speculative line of thought.

"Don't worry, as long as you are by Lao Tzu's side, you can't die, some tests are also necessary for you, there are some things, we just know it!

This time, it's cheaper to shun that cub. ”

The situation is changing, and the mood of the people around you is also changing, and sometimes it is necessary to be tempted. The more people around you, the more subtle changes deserve attention. It seems that the life of this monkey has not changed much.

"You are the master, what do you say! However, this Sushun is not useless waste material, with an army of 100,000 in hand, the third master still has to do something to show his loyalty. ”

Smiling helplessly, Xu Ziwei gave Yang Meng another wake-up call.

"No one is perfect, sometimes there are more bad problems, it's not a bad thing, Ma Qinghu has arrived, I plan to hand over the defense of the Yangtze River estuary to him, it's almost the New Year's Day, take a concubine!"

"Hmmm! So good, it's better to have a few more! ”

"Two of them! It's a lot of work! ”

"Good things come in pairs, the chief congratulates the third master."

"When Su Shun comes, he still has to show his loyalty, it is not easy to communicate with the monarchs and ministers thousands of miles away!"

"That's right!"

The two chatted and finished finishing up on Sushun's side, and when this was done, Sushun's Eight Banners New Camp should almost leave the boundary of Guangzhou.

After finishing speaking, Xu Ziwei continued to deal with official business, but Yang Meng drank tea leisurely, and there was not much time to come in, and a glance came in Xu Ziwei's ear, muttering a few words in a low voice, this live monkey, 'poof' laughed out loud.

"Laughing at what? What crooked fortune did you make? ”

"Third master, it's not that the chief has made a fortune, it's this person! I couldn't stand the chatter, and just now I said that Su Shun is coming, this holy oracle, didn't he come to ask for credit? It's a man who is in a hurry. ”

"It's good that he's here, it just so happens that Lao Tzu is going to settle the new camp of Eight Banners, and Lao Tzu of the province has a trip."

"Third master, the firearms of this new battalion of the Eight Banners still need to be tightened, after all, this is not our people."

"It's all the same! However, the imperial court still needs to be wary. ”

After saying this, Yang Meng walked out of the inner room, came to the lobby, ordered people to serve tea, gave orders, and walked in quickly after a short time.

"Congratulations to the third brother, congratulations to the third brother, the military power of the five major commercial ports is in hand, and the third brother's power position is further advanced! Now this Ye Zhongtang is not an object compared to the third brother. ”

Su Shun was still familiar, but after he said this, Yang Meng's face became gloomy.

"Bold and submissive, but you have planted a fine work next to Lao Tzu? This is the top secret military situation of the imperial court, in order to resist the secret order issued by Yangyi, say! How did you find out?

I can't tell, I don't know, Lao Tzu doesn't care if you are a member of the clan, and I have to engage in military law today! ”

The things in Yang Meng's account are not ordinary government affairs, his Nanyang minister rank, but he has a military position, and spying on the intelligence around Yang Meng is spying on the military situation, that is, the act of looking for death.

"Third brother...... This can be hidden from Ye Mingchen, but it can't be hidden from Su Shun!

The third brother can command an army of 100,000 this time, and the brother also contributed, if it weren't for the brother's excerpt, I am afraid that the stupid things of the military aircraft are still discussing the third brother's increase in troops!

The third brother's plan, the public loyalty to the country, the delicate situation in the south of the Yangtze River, and in fact, the big men of the Beijing division can know, I heard that the third brother is going to increase troops in the five major commercial ports, and the brother also used the identity of the clan to tell the saint about the third brother's hardships.

Fortunately, the saint was wise and wise, and he not only allowed the third brother's excerpt, but also handed over all the green battalion soldiers belonging to the five major commercial ports to the third brother. ”

To express the merit is to show it clearly, Yang Laosan's request for the expansion of the army, Su Shun did not know when he was on the fold, and he also learned about this matter from the letter sent to him by Prince Yi Zaiyuan in the later period.

This is called drowsiness and a pillow, by mistake, Su Shun did Yang Laosan a big favor, and the sedan chair carried people in the officialdom, with this time. This Yang Laosan owes him a big favor. Critical time. Yang Laosan's words can also help him to be obedient to his position and make a contribution.

"Wang Ba Lizi, I said this is not right! It turned out to be your dog's thing, giving Lao Tzu eye medicine behind his back and Lao Tzu to death! ”

After scolding, Yang Meng picked up the pure copper paperweight on the desktop and threw it to Su Shun. This Yang Meng makes his strength not small, if he hits the head, Su Shun will be over!

'When ......'

After these days of training, Su Shun's skills have also made great progress, this paperweight, he easily dodged, the paperweight smashed on the ground paved with large square bricks, after landing, the ground was also smashed out of an obvious pit.

"Third brother, you're going to kill someone!"

"It's not enough to kill you! Suffer death! ”

Yang Meng also didn't give Su Shun a chance to defend himself. He pulled out the large blade in his waist and left his seat. It's going to split Su Shun.

"Third master, why are you angry? I have to give my brother a chance to explain! ”

Su Shun saw that Yang Laosan was really murderous, so he panicked, who would have thought that this Yang Laosan was really presumptuous, so he didn't care about it? Not to mention his own brother Prince Zheng, even if he is obedient, not everyone can kill him.

"Dog's day, give Lao Tzu eye medicine behind your back, you bastard tell me, are you planning to kill Lao Tzu?

The defense strength of the five major commercial ports, that is Lao Tzu after careful consideration, 50,000 is enough! 100,000, doesn't this make the court suspicious of Lao Tzu?

And how to solve the problem of the extra 50,000 people and horses? You Su Shun is the master of the clan, how do you know that it is not easy to lead troops?

When the soldier eats salary, the salary and food are sufficient, this soldier can fight to the death on the battlefield, there are more than 50,000 horses, under Lao Tzu's hands, there are 50,000 more mouths, Jiangnan's finance and taxation are limited, this man and horse are not expensive, 100,000 horses seem to be strong and strong, but the salary is insufficient, these horses will not work hard to train the soldiers.

The consumption of 100,000 horses is greater than 50,000 elites, but the combat power is not as good as 50,000 elites. ”

After hearing this, Su Shun also smiled miserably, this Yang Laosan is really a rare person who understands in military affairs, who would have thought that this sycophant would be slapped on the horse's leg in a daze?

"Third brother, the main meaning of the brother's excerpt is to let you suppress Zeng Zuo in Anhui and Jiangxi, now Zeng Zuo has a big tail, and the court must always be on guard."

After Su Shun finished saying this, the gloom on Yang Meng's face also dissipated a lot, but the fierceness in his eyes was still the same, this cruel gaze, Su Shun was shocked to see it!

"Zeng Zuo? Give them the courage to do it, let them try the opposite, Lao Tzu doesn't pick up their dog skins, there is no need to expand the army like this, with 350,000 horses, Lao Tzu can properly clean them up.

Zeng Zuo is doing things in Anhui and Jiangxi, and they also have their hardships, Anhui and Jiangxi have gathered the northern king and the wing king of the long-haired thief, and the northern king Wei Changhui is not a character, but the winged king Shi Dakai is a wise general on the battlefield, and it is much easier to clean up Zeng Zuo than to clean up the long-haired thief!

Now that Yingyi is eyeing the tiger, once there is a problem with the defense of this sea road, it will be the real big trouble after Yingyi and the long-haired thief communicate!

Su Shun, don't be too shallow, the threat of the sea and the long-haired thief join forces, and its power can destroy the country! ”

Xingshi's questioning is just acting, Yang Meng's real purpose is to let Su Shun take a break, talk about the threat of England, although he has done a lot of foreplay, but the court's attention to England is far from enough, a little progress, just want to cut the land and make peace to deal with the traitors in the country, this amount is too small!

"What is my third brother worried about! Food, it's not a big difficulty, as long as the brother has another fold, he should be able to solve the problems for the third brother. ”

"! When you feed an army of 50,000, do you feed a cat or a dog? Although the imperial court promised the finance and taxes of Jiangnan, but in the land of Jiangnan, there are too many people and horses that will be raised, Zeng Zuo, Tuo Ming'a, He Chun, Feng Guifen, Lao Tzu, and many green battalion soldiers and horses, adding up to five or six hundred thousand!

Assistance, assistance, this year, the people of Jiangnan have been overwhelmed, once this string is broken, the long-haired thief has a chance to rise again.

The horror of the hungry people and the mob, didn't the court feel it? To put it simply, it is not a simple matter to feed the more than 200,000 Lian Yong and more than 300,000 green camps in the south of the Yangtze River! ”

A Guangdong, before Yang Meng's bravery, went out to the militia group, there were more than 60,000 people in the green camp, and there were 300,000 people in the green camp in the south of the Yangtze River, and most of them were miscellaneous soldiers with no combat power. It's still on top of the matter of cutting bravery.

"This is what the third brother said is good, a few days ago, the cubs under the command of General Guangzhou went to the new camp to find trouble, and the brothers came out with ten people, and they beat down more than forty of them, and the eight banners stationed in the garrison are so wasteful, not to mention that the green camps in various places are fragmented, it is better to do this, let's brothers ask for a decree together?"

Su Shun is a person who understands, and he also understands Yang Laosan's intentions, Jiangnan needs to bear too much military expenses, and the Yong militia is now the main force to suppress bandits, and most of the green battalions are still mainly based on watching dramas and defeats, if the 300,000 green battalions in Jiangnan are cut, or streamlined, then Jiangnan will save a lot of military spending, so that there is no need to increase the salary, and this new group of militias can be fed.

"Say it again! You kid messed things up, originally Lao Tzu wanted to expand the army, and then train the Jiangnan Green Battalion, looking at the current situation, in order to avoid suspicion, I can only put this matter on hold for the time being. ”

"Third brother, the eldest husband is in charge, everyone is doing things for the court, why avoid suspicion?"

"Then you are casual, Lao Tzu is going to take a concubine in the near future, come over to eat at the bar!"

The seeds are sown, as for the long grass or the long flowers, it is the same for Yang Meng, it is nothing more than a matter of time. (To be continued......)
