Chapter 13: Seduction

sent Du Sichen away, but looking at a room full of scolding men, Zhu Yushang felt a huge headache, so he immediately kicked the ball to Yang An, who was silent on the side.

"You've been eyeing me just now, so they'll be handed over to you."

As if she had thrown off a big burden, Zhu Yusheng looked relaxed, and in the conversation on the road, she had already learned that this little eunuch was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and at the same time admired Yang An's knowledge.

I have the impression that when the Kuomintang retreated to the mainland in later generations, it sent a large number of "commissioners" and "commissioners" to the mountains to make a wish to the bandits to add officials, and appointed the lieutenant general commander and the major general to sit on the seats, hoping that these bandits could cause damage to the Communist Party.

It's a pity that since ancient times, whether righteous or not, there has been no precedent for relying on bandits to succeed, Yongli Tianzi is confused, and the officials under him are even more stupid, God knows what those officials who preside over this matter think!

But since Yang An wants to pull up his own forces, he is bound to use the power of these bandits, and he needs to be more righteous, otherwise he will be unknown even if he starts an incident in the future, so it is necessary to persuade everyone to agree to accept Du Sichen's appointment.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Seeing that his voice attracted the attention of everyone in the room, Yang An sat down and said: "My surname is Yang Mingjian, I mean you might as well accept this appointment first, you must know that this appointment is only good for us now." ”

Luo Daquan saw Yang An's youthful appearance, and a trace of contempt flashed in his heart, but seeing that he was the person next to Zhu Yushang after all, it was not easy to oppose it directly, so he just said in a muffled voice: "Little brother said that he laughed, do you want us all to work hard for the imperial court?" ”

The tone is not polite, and there is an aggressive look.

Yang An was not angry when he saw this, he just looked directly at everyone, gritted his teeth word by word: "We are not selling our lives to anyone, we are selling our lives to ourselves." ”

Yang An didn't use a big reason to persuade him, what kind of family and country righteousness actually didn't have much touch on these men, their ideological consciousness was not so high, except for the fact that they did have a common enmity with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it was difficult for others to open their heads and be enemies of the Qing army. What's more, most of the men in front of them have actually died of their hearts on the Yongli Imperial Court of the Southern Ming Dynasty and have no hope.

Therefore, Yang An can only start from their vital interests and advise them for this.

"Do you know what we are now?"

Without waiting for everyone to answer, Yang An shouted: "It's a bandit!" Brigand! ”

Everyone couldn't help but bow their heads when they heard this, they were originally young people from a good family, but now they have become bandits that everyone shouts and beats, this change of identity makes them feel aggrieved from the bottom of their hearts, you must know that no matter what bandits were caught in ancient times, they had to be executed.

"There is no need to say much at the moment, Brother Luo and your brothers have to do it as a last resort, but this kind of behavior is by no means a long-term way, the world will not always be chaotic, whether it is Mingsheng or Qingsheng in the future, the new government will always suppress bandits in the future, when the time comes, where should you go?"

Seeing the contemplative look on everyone's faces, Yang An suddenly hit the railway while it was hot: "Therefore, we have to plan for the future, then we need an identity to decorate ourselves, you fall into such a field, presumably your heart is not towards the Manchu Qing, so now accept Nanming's appointment, all people will have a serious birth, and if Guangzhou City is laid down in the future, then the money and grain of Guangzhou City will nominally belong to us." ”

"It's really good to talk big, just our people, if we want to fight Guangzhou City, it is estimated that we were shot to death by others in several rounds of salvos before we touched the city walls of others."

"And there doesn't seem to be anything bad about being a bandit, as long as you don't provoke the Qing army, you can rob others."

Everyone's complaints Zhu Yushang heard in his ears, and he couldn't help but look at Yang An with some anxiety, but found that the latter had no trace of worry on his face.

"It's just stupid!"

Yang An and the others suddenly scolded loudly after all the complaints, and immediately annoyed the group of men opposite, and drew their swords one after another, wanting to teach Yang An a good lesson, letting him know that although he was a friend of Miss Zhu, he could not easily humiliate them.

Pushing aside Zhu Yusheng, who was on guard in front of him, Yang An looked at Luo Daquan's swords with a calm face, his face did not change, but Luo Daquan secretly praised in his heart, what a courageous man.

is really a group of reckless men, Yang Anqiang suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "It's good to be a bandit robbery, but how much food can you rob?" ”

"Just grab it, where can you grab as much as you want?" Luo Daquan couldn't help but say depressedly.

"What you are robbing is just a small addiction, this is completely picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon."

"Can you still do a big ticket?" Luo Daquan's eyes suddenly glowed with green.

"Let me ask you, what is the richest thing in this world?" Yang An tried his best to change his story in order to convince the gang to do what he wanted.

"Buying and selling without capital, robbery."

Yang An saw that Luo Daquan couldn't tell what he meant, so he had to ask him directly: "Then let me ask you, do these people you rob want to tax the government?"

Luo Daquan nodded and said: "That's definitely what you want, the businessman is afraid of the card, this way down the card, most of the money falls into the hands of the government, and those who have a lot of land at home must also pay taxes, but if there are people in the government, the family has a reputation, but it is not much." ”

"Why does the government want these people to pay money and grain?"

"If you don't pay it, it will be a war against food and donations, and then the officers and soldiers will come to fight."

"That's right"

"Isn't the government just a robbery? If we rob the people, but the people don't give it, don't we also want to shout and kill? Therefore, this government is the most profitable business in the world, whether it is a merchant or a landowner, all of them have to pay money to the government, in this case, why can't we be this government to rob him of a big one? As long as we become the government, the people in this city will have to pay us food and taxes no matter what they do! In this way, everyone is just sitting and collecting money, isn't this faster than taking a knife to grab it? Besides, let's grab it ourselves, how much can we rob, and how much can we take? ”

"That's right!" After listening to Yang An's words, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, if he became an official, he would be the biggest robbery gang at that time, this is still Brother Yang's thoughtfulness, I didn't expect that robbery could become so reasonable.

"So we must have a serious background, otherwise we may not be able to become an official even if we want to become an official at that time."

"Okay, we agreed."

"Listen to Brother Yang!"

"We will do what you say."

Zhu Yushang looked at the excited crowd, and glanced at Yang An strangely, the meaning in that look was obvious, you can really fool!

Rao is Yang An has a thick face, and he also feels a fever on his cheeks and a slight redness, but everyone is affected by the beautiful scene in the future, so they can't find the abnormality on Yang An's face.

"Since everyone agrees, then I'm going to call Master Du to come in and give orders."

After Du Sichen came in, he stopped not far from everyone and said in a loud voice: "How are you thinking about it?" ”

"Master Du, we are willing to accept the appointment."

Du Sichen secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart after hearing this, he also wondered if these bandits would break their promise and give him a special branch, after all, he was in the bandits' den, he wanted to escape just now, and now things have completely changed as he expected, and his mentality is very different, and Zhu Defei spoke in a very kind tone, as if they had long been colleagues, and exchanged a few polite words, Du Sichen saw that it was almost over, and said: "Since this is the case, then ask General Zhu to offer incense and receive the seal." ”

The appointment process is not cumbersome, after all, there is no such condition now, after a conversation, Zhu Defei took over the appointment letter and the big seal with a red face, and turned into a general of the Ming Dynasty.

When everyone was happy enough, Du Sichen reminded Zhu Defei, who was still immersed in joy, and said: "Since General Zhu has been ordered, please tell this official when he plans to attack Guangzhou City?" With the quasi-letter, the official can go back and reply to the superintendent. ”

Zhu Defei's face was stunned when he heard this, and when he was about to speak, Yang An had already preemptively said: "Don't worry, since you have been appointed by the imperial court, you will naturally go to Guangzhou City, and we have no other requests at the moment, just ask Lord Du to go back and allocate some money and food for me." ”

"Money?"

Du Sichen snorted secretly and said quietly: "Since you have been appointed by the imperial court, you should have allocated money and food, but now you can't. This official will not hide from you that since the withdrawal of the king of Xining, the situation in Guangdong has not been favorable to our army, and everywhere is tight, so there is a shortage of money and food, and it cannot be allocated to you for the time being, and you need to wait for your own fundraising. ”

After hearing this, everyone was immediately dissatisfied: "The emperor is not hungry soldiers, and there is no money and food, so I will take what to fight Guangzhou City." ”

If there is enough money and food, the governor of Liangguang and the governor of the four prefectures, Zhang Xiaoqi, they will not come up with the bad idea of absorbing bandits, and they have already taken out food to recruit the people to join the army, where do they still need these bandits, and they will not grant them the famous weapons of the imperial court. To put it bluntly, the Ming army in Guangdong was so poor that they were about to become called Huazi, and they really couldn't come up with anything else except the righteousness of the court and a piece of paper.

With this in the overall situation, where did Du Sichen raise food and money?

Hearing everyone's questioning, Du Sichen couldn't help but have a trace of embarrassment on his face.

Yang An saw that everyone was arguing about money and food again, and hurriedly said: "Master Du, don't worry, we will solve the matter of money and food by ourselves, and we will definitely fight this Guangzhou City!" But this is not a trivial matter after all, and we have to think about it slowly, and we have to discuss it carefully. It's better for adults to leave first, and I'll definitely do something in a month or two. ”
