The 429th time, take the initiative to pay
If there is no Yang Chengying's appearance, Guan Ningjun deserves to be the strongest army in the world.
At the same time, with the Eight Banners as a reference, the Guanning army had more than enough defense and insufficient attack.
That was also because Yuan Chonghuan didn't stay long, and the soldiers lacked long-term training.
When you get to Guannai, it is basically the world of the Guanning Army.
They are the thieves, and they are the ones who guard the great cities of the north......
Guan Ningjun was drained of blood by the Ming Dynasty little by little.
By the time of Wu Sangui, only some veterans remained.
Later, during the rebellion of the three feudatories, Wu Sangui relied on these veterans to spread out and stir up the situation.
When they arrived at the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, Yang Chengying and Yuan Chonghuan led the crowd in.
"Yang Juma, please be seated."
"Inspector Yuan, please."
The two of them took their seats as guests and hosts.
The generals under their command all sat separately according to the position of their own commander.
Yang Chengying brought few people, Yuan Chonghuan brought many people, and after taking a seat, one side was long and the other was short.
"I heard the messenger say that when the horse was coming to Jinzhou, the governor was surprised."
Yuan Chonghuan said with a smile: "People in the world say a lot, and the horses are unruly and uncontrolled, which seems to be all lies. ”
"Haha...... I don't like to be famous, and I don't care about the evaluation of vulgar people in the world. ”
Yang Chengying laughed and said: "How did they know that Jinzhou Town is difficult to survive, the crops are not harvested, there are strong enemies in the north, and the sea is in the south.
If you don't use some means, how will the millions of people in the Golden State live?
It is an honor to exchange my reputation for the survival of the people and the food and clothing of the soldiers. ”
"Great!" Yuan Chonghuan nodded and said, "In the end, he is a famous general in the world, and these words are a hundred times stronger than the sour and rotten literati." ”
Although he was born in the imperial examination, his family was engaged in the timber business and developed Yuan Chonghuan's pragmatic character.
I heard a lot of polite words and nonsense, and suddenly heard this, and suddenly felt cordial.
Suddenly, Yuan Chonghuan asked: "I heard that the horse started by smuggling trade, is there such a thing?" ”
Yan Mingtai and the others who followed Yang Chengying frowned slightly, why did they suddenly mention this stubble, isn't it obvious to provoke trouble.
The generals of Liaoxi were also nervous, thinking that the supervisor was deliberate, and they became nervous.
There are Yang Chengying's personal subordinates in the house, and there are Jinzhou's sailors outside.
If it really starts, although there are many people in Liaoxi, it may not be the opponent of the other party.
"That's right." Yang Chengying said calmly, "It's the same now." ”
"The horse should know that this is not in line with the laws of the imperial court."
"Yes. At that time, there were only hungry soldiers in Jinzhouwei, there were no bows and crossbows and arrows, and the city was in ruins. Along the way, there were hungry people, and even the bark of grass roots and trees had been eaten. ”
Yang Chengying said: "None of the proceeds of my smuggling fell into my own pocket, and all of them were given to the soldiers and people of Jinzhou Town. ”
These words are true.
Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the Jinzhou Defense Battle, the food eaten by the Jinzhou Army's Yongjian Camp, and the usual pastimes, etc., are all things that other Ming troops on the nine sides dare not think of.
"I naturally believe in the pony's ethics, and I am very touched by the pony's outspokenness."
Yuan Chonghuan said: "I also know that this is not something that you can stop by saying that you alone. ”
"Thank you Inspector Yuan for your understanding."
Facing Yuan Chonghuan, Yang Chengying hugged his fists.
In fact, the tone of Yuan Chonghuan's question just now was not like a question, but a simple confirmation.
It was a tacit matter, there were no outsiders present, and Yang Chengying admitted it very frankly.
Doing so will also help both parties to have a more honest conversation.
"I didn't expect it, but when I saw the colt today, I wanted to ask the pony for help."
Yuan Chonghuan hesitated for a moment and said: "That's the case, there are earthquakes and droughts in Shaanxi and other places, and the imperial court needs relief for the victims, and there may be no money allocated to the Ningjin front line for the time being......"
When he said this, Yuan Chonghuan was visibly embarrassed.
On this occasion, this matter should not have been mentioned, and it should have been said in private.
But the two sides have just met, and the trust in each other is not high, so it is impossible to have the opportunity to talk privately.
If you don't talk about it at this time, when Yang Chengying returns to Jinzhou Town, I don't know when we will meet next time.
Therefore, Yuan Chonghuan thought about it again and again, but still said it.
And the reason he gave was very upright and bright, so people would not think that even if there were no such things, the court would still have no money.
"No problem."
After Yuan Chonghuan finished speaking, Yang Chengying nodded in agreement.
The Guanning Army is also a strong army outside the Guan, and it will be of great benefit to them to take this opportunity to establish friendly relations with them and leave a deep impression on their hearts.
"Oh, I wonder how much the colt can take out?"
Yuan Chonghuan was overjoyed, even if he gave 300,000 taels, it would be good for the improvement of the current situation.
"Not much. One million two thousand taels, is it enough? ”
Yang Chengying asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a gasp from inside the tent.
Obviously, all the generals in western Liaoning were shocked by Yang Chengying's "generosity".
More than a million taels, without even blinking an eyelid.
The same is true for Yuan Chonghuan, he knows that Jinzhou Town is rich, but he didn't expect it to be so rich.
"If it's not enough, I can add a little more, give 1.5 million taels, is it enough?"
Yang Chengying asked again.
"Enough, enough."
Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly said: "One hundred and twenty thousand taels is enough, and I am afraid that it will have an impact on Jinzhou Town." ”
"If you can save it, you can save it, since Inspector Yuan only needs 1.2 million taels, then I will only give 1.2 million taels."
A hint of cunning flashed in Yang Chengying's eyes, "However, considering that the superintendent has just been appointed and everything costs money, I will still give one and a half million." ”
Hearing that only 1.2 million taels were given, all the generals in Liaoxi felt regretful.
People, who hates a lot of money.
When they heard that Yang Chengying had given 1.5 million, a big stone fell to the ground in their hearts.
"To be honest, I'm also surprised, how can a colt be so rich?"
Yuan Chonghuan asked curiously.
The generals of Liaoxi hurriedly pricked up their ears to listen.
"Don't hide it from Inspector Yuan, since the first year of the Apocalypse, the entire Jinzhou Town has been developing silently, and there has never been a strange thing that the city has been built and demolished, demolished and built."
Yang Chengying meant something, and Yuan Chonghuan could hear it.
No amount of gold and silver treasures could withstand the squandering, and the western Liaoning region was abandoned twice, and many cities and fortresses were also demolished and rebuilt, built and demolished.
"I take the words of the colt to heart." Yuan Chonghuan nodded.
"There is one more thing that the overseer should be careful about."
This matter is the real purpose of Yang Chengying's coming.
"Please."
"Countless Mongol tribes have taken refuge in Jianguo, and the flanks of the entire western Liaoxi have been exposed to the iron hooves of Jianlu."
Yang Chengying said: "But there are all of you in Liaoxi, and you can be safe." However, the area around Jizhen is empty, and you need to be more careful. ”
"The words of the colt are truly insightful, and I think the same as yours."
Yuan Chonghuan said solemnly: "I will start to strengthen the ties between the Mongolian tribes as soon as possible, and at the same time try to ask Your Majesty for permission to garrison troops in the Daning area." ”
"That's fine." Yang Chengying said with a smile.
