Chapter 404: Return to Dongyong

Zhu Houhuang keenly saw that Mo Dengyong's expression was wrong, and said: "Today's matter, General Mo wants to take these things from me with empty mouths and white teeth, which is something that you don't even think about, but at the beginning, Lone promised to do business with General Mo, and now he will not refuse, but what can General Mo give Lone?" ”

Mo Dengyong's eyes lit up, and he also knew that it was impossible for him to ask for a large amount of support from Zhu Houhuang's side. Mo Dengyong never thought of such a good thing when he came here.

Mo Dengyong said: "Oh, I don't know what His Highness wants? ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "It doesn't matter what I want, but what can you give me?" ”

Trading is where it begins.

Zhu Houhuang and Mo Dengyong discussed in detail, Mo Dengyong could not give many conditions, but to allow the merchant ships of Yongguo to land in Haiyang, and not to collect taxes on Yongguo's merchant ships, and to ensure that all commodities of the Ming Dynasty can be unimpeded in the control area of Mohs. No taxes are levied. Wait a minute.

Probably some privileges.

In fact, Zhu Houhuang is not too interested in these privileges, without him, the profits of Annan are limited, and there is no Ming Dynasty where the industrial revolution has broken out, the supply of goods is still relatively tight, and there is no crazy outward expansion force in Yongguo, all Zhu Houhuang Even if he wants to come to these privileges, no one will use them for a while.

It's just that he was unwilling to give Mo Dengyong a big bargain for nothing.

However, Zhu Houhuang did not expect that as soon as his condition came out, the Chinese businessmen in Haiyang were transformed into Yongguo people, and even with the expansion of Mo's power, all the Chinese businessmen groups became loyal supporters of Zhu Houhuang.

Zhu Houhuang said to Yu Dayou: "Annan's side is all handed over, you should also know what to do?" ”

Yu Dayou said: "Let Annan not be unified, whoever is strong is our enemy." ”

Zhu Houhuang was able to feel at ease, he sighed and said secretly in his heart: "I don't know what happened to Dongyong after so many days without returning to Dongyong." ”

Zhu Houhuang handed over all the affairs of Annan to Yu Dayou, and he left Annan by boat and headed for Dongyong.

According to Zhu Houhuang's intentions, Yu Dayou left the soldiers of Zhancheng to guard the Haiphong Mansion.

Although Haiphong is a government, the area under its jurisdiction is far inferior to that of Da Nang, or in other words, Yu Dayou's control over Haiphong is only the port city, as well as the area near the city, and further away, there is no control at all.

Haiphong is the gateway to Thang Long, Zhu Houhuang's relationship with the Zheng family is acceptable now, if the general trend expands, I am afraid that it will affect the relationship between the Zheng family and Dongyong, and then it will be a big loss because of a small loss.

Therefore, Haiphong is just a nail, a nail in the throat of Annam, a trading base for trading with Annam.

Yu Dayou then took a boat back to Da Nang.

After returning to Da Nang, Yu Dayou immediately exerted his fists, planned the prefecture and county, and began to train the government soldiers, training more than 10,000 government soldiers in total. Zhu Houhuang also supplemented Yu Dayou from Dongyong, so that the blade battalion under Zhu Houhuang had a total of 6,000 people, which could be regarded as a full number.

Zhu Houhuang returned to Dongyong, and Annan couldn't scruple for a while.

"The ministers have seen His Highness." The hundreds of officials who stayed behind in Dongyong, led by Lu Wan, bowed to Zhu Houhuang. Zhu Houhuang hurriedly said: "Pingli." ”

Zhu Houhuang saw Lu Wan's appearance and said, "Master Lu should pay attention to his body. ”

Lu Wan looked a lot older, which made Zhu Houhuang sigh that time was like a knife. Originally, although Lu Wan looked old, he was supported by a spirit and looked radiant, but now Lu Wan is skinny and looks like a shadow, so it's not pitiful.

"Your Highness, ahem, ahem." As soon as Lu Wan spoke, he coughed again and again. Zhu Houhuang hurriedly stepped forward to help, and after a while, Lu Wan calmed down his cough and said, "Your Highness, the minister is fine." ”

How is this nothing? Zhu Houhuang looked at Lu Wan's appearance and immediately asked, "Where is Divine Doctor Xue?" ”

"The old minister is here." Divine Doctor Xue squeezed out of the crowd.

Although Doctor Xue has a very important position in Zhu Houhuang's heart, he is only a imperial doctor after all, and his status in society cannot be compared with that of a scholar, so when he came to greet Zhu Houhuang, he couldn't go ahead at all. If Zhu Houhuang hadn't called him, he would have had to watch and go back.

"Master Lu, what's going on?" Zhu Houhuang asked anxiously.

Zhu Houhuang's anxiety was not faked. Zhu Houhuang's jealousy of Lu Wan in his heart is one thing, but his trust in Lu Wan is another.

Zhu Houhuang's suspicion and trust seem to be a pair of contradictory phrases, but rather unrelated words, it can be said that Zhu Houhuang is both suspicious and trusting of Lu Wan.

Suspicion is instinct, and as a monarch, if you don't have a little sensitivity, you don't even know how to die in the future. It can be said that Zhu Houhuang doubts anyone, in his opinion, anyone has the possibility of betrayal, and no betrayal is nothing more than not enough chips, so Zhu Houhuang tried not to give anyone a chance to rebel, on the other hand, Zhu Houhuang paid attention to anyone he fancied, increasing the bargaining chips that he could not betray.

And trust is the ability to trust Lu Wan.

Lu Wan is handling government affairs in Dongyong, although Zhu Houhuang is worried that Dongyong will become Lu Wan's Yiyantang, but he still has great trust in Lu Wan's ability, with Lu Wan's presence, Zhu Houhuang can go out with peace of mind, whether it is Anqing or Vietnam, but without Lu Wan, Zhu Houhuang does not dare to leave Dongyong at all.

"Your Highness, Lu Changshi is just overworked." Doctor Xue said with a slight twist of his beard.

When Zhu Houhuang heard this, he first breathed a sigh of relief, and then saw that Divine Doctor Xue's eyes flickered on his face, and his heart moved, and he knew that Divine Doctor Xue had something to say.

But now is not the time to talk. Zhu Houhuang kept this incident in his heart.

This time it was not only Zhu Houhuang's return, but also the victory of the soldiers of Annan.

However, the first people on the ship were not soldiers, but urns, and one soldier held an urn. More than 1,000 people walked by in a row.

This is the number of deaths in the Yongjun, and the ones who came out immediately followed were the wounded one by one, in fact, the wounded who could come back were all wounded who were too good to be better, and it was impossible for the really serious wounded to come back by boat.

And then there is the victorious soldier.

Zhu Houhuang had already made arrangements, he had already ordered the ship to be disbanded, these soldiers brought their own rewards, each of them was different, the average was around fifty taels, at least Zhu Houhuang rewarded him repeatedly, about 400,000 taels of silver. It can be said that all of them are arrogant.

Moreover, the big man is the fundamental place of Zhu Houhuang, and the big man is in Zhu Houhuang, just like Haiyang in Mo Dengyong, and Jiangdong in Xiang Yu. It was Zhu Houhuang who came here alone, and he was able to gather the corresponding places.

Therefore, even if Zhu Houhuang did not deviate from it, many of the officers of the Yongjun army were from the senior officers, and at this moment, the news that the officers had made a fortune spread, and for a while, the entire senior officers fell into a boil.

There are also many soldiers who are from Jiangxi, they can be said to have just settled down, they are all exiles, and it can be said that they have nothing to do. With these rewards, they all have to rush home and reunite with their families.

Zhu Houhuang's Yongbing scattered on the dock, like a drop of water, merging into the rivers and lakes, but the reaction they caused had just begun.

They seemed to be a basin of cold water poured in the boiling oil, and for a while there was a lot of discussion everywhere. The various measures of the Yongjun army have also reached the ears of the people.

The common people are the most practical people, and they were still resistant to being soldiers before, but now when they hear that the army also teaches people to write, and rewards generous and meritorious officers, they can also be transferred to county lieutenants.

The county lieutenant is just a small official for many big people, and he can't be looked down on at all, but for the people, he can only eat public food, which is a first-class beauty.

Therefore, when the benefits of being a soldier are more than studying, there are more people who want to be soldiers, and when the benefits of fighting a war are more than not fighting a war, there are more people who want to fight.

Zhu Houhuang's actions were influencing Dongyong's atmosphere, and later this atmosphere in turn affected Zhu Houhuang's decision-making.
