Yang Chengying and Li Chao had many contradictions.

To sum up, it includes issues such as captivity, border crossing, and market opening.

Letting the prince go to Shenyang as a hostage is just one of many problems.

Lin Qingye listened to Yang Chengying's words and argued with reason: "I fought fiercely with the Tartars and obtained food and property from my country many times.

Now that the Tartars have perished, these should stop. Not only does the foot not stop, but it intensifies, what is the reason?

The people's livelihood in our country is withering, but they also fully support the foot, and the foot is not grateful, but puts forward more stringent conditions, what is the reason! ”

Lin Qingye was a martial artist in his early years, and later made meritorious contributions in the pacification of Li Shizhi's rebellion, and moved to Yin, the capital of Yizhou.

He was full of anger when he spoke, as if he wanted to suppress Yang Chengying's momentum.

Hong Chengchou watched with interest from the side, he wanted to know how Yang Chengying would respond.

I only heard Yang Chengying say: "Lord Lin once served as a pastoral envoy in Dingzhou and is familiar with the military situation. It should be known how many troops the Li Dynasty had. ”

Lin Qingye did not answer.

He will not answer anything that involves state secrets.

However, this matter could not be concealed from Yang Chengying at all: "The Li Dynasty has more than 100,000 troops, another more than 90,000 Shu Wu troops, and 4 to 50,000 variegated troops. ”

Lin Qingye's face changed slightly.

Hong Chengchou saw it and said in his heart: "Yang Chengying is really powerful, and he has already investigated the situation of the Li Dynasty clearly. ”

"In order to support these soldiers, the Li Dynasty spent at least 110,000 stone per year, and the actual income of the royal court was only 100,000 stone."

Yang Chengying said: "Your own income and expenditure are still not balanced, how can you take out food to supply our army!" ”

"That's why I said that in order to support your army, my people's livelihood is withering and needs to be restored urgently!"

Lin Qingye is right.

"Wrong!" Yang Chengying retorted, "The grain I get from the Li Dynasty every year is as high as 250,000 stones. But not from the common people, but from two classes of nobles! ”

Lin Qingye was stunned.

Hong Chengchou understood on the side, it turned out that Li Chao was suffering from the same "disease" as Daming.

"In order to protect private property from the Tartars, the two classes of nobles did their best to support me."

Yang Chengying said: "But these grains are still not the limit of what they can bear. Because in the name of supporting me, they have exploited the people of their estates. ”

Sweat broke out on Lin Qingye's forehead.

Yang Chengying continued: "Don't think I'm a fool, I really don't know those things. Now that you're done, it's time to settle the score.

You say that you are dedicated to the country, but whose 'country' are you for? Is it the king's 'kingdom' or the nobles' 'kingdom', or the people's 'kingdom'!

If it is for the king's country, then you should go back to rectify the ministers of Wen Tian and Wu Huan.

If it is for the country of the nobility, then go back and prepare and wait for the crusade of our army.

If it is for the sake of the people's country, you should rise up and destroy the nobles! ”

"This ...... This...... The foot is pure quibble. ”

Lin Qingye stammered and said: "How our country is in China has nothing to do with you, you just need to stop exploiting our country, and the rest has nothing to do with your feet." ”

"As I said, I collect the protection money of the nobles, and it has nothing to do with the people."

Yang Chengying said: "It is the words of a saint to attack the weak and to take chaos and insult death. The nobles of your country are reckless, and it is in the way of the saints that I crusade against them.

Besides, if the king of your country does not come to Shenyang to talk to me, I will send an army to bring him. At that time, it was not a luxurious carriage that sat in it, but a prisoner's carriage. ”

"You!"

Lin Qingye saw that he couldn't say anything about Yang Chengying, so he turned his head to look at Hong Chengchou and asked him for help.

Hong Chengchou gave him a helpless look.

"Humph! Your army has an offensive strategy, and our army also has a defensive response. ”

Lin Qingye left a cruel sentence.

"Well, go back and tell the king that I will limit myself to October, and if I don't come before October, I won't use it later." Yang Chengying said.

Lin Qingye was so angry that he brushed his sleeves away.

Yang Chengying watched him leave.

Hong Chengchou waited for Lin Qingye to go away, and said: "On the way I came, I heard Zhou Wenyu say that you have already borrowed enough money from the Western Fanguo, why do you still toss the Li Dynasty?" ”

"Inspector Hong only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other."

Yang Chengying made a gesture of "please invite Hong Chengchou to the back hall", and said as he walked: "In order to deal with the Tartars, I asked the nobles of the Li Dynasty to collect protection money every year.

The king of the Li Dynasty allowed the heroes to oppress the people and annex the land, and they were the real rich people of the Li Dynasty.

However, these nobles changed their ways to exploit the people, and then threw the black cauldron at me.

In order to destroy the Tartars, I have been forbearing. Until now, if you don't give them a powerful look, they don't know how many moths have been made. ”

Hong Chengchou had also heard of the situation of the Li Dynasty, which was as unsightly as some literati in Jiangnan.

is supposed to be a minister who is loyal to the country, but he can only be lustful and indulge in wine and meat.

This is all because they know that Yang Chengying is helping them block Houjin, so they are so reckless.

Houjin has fallen, and they want to stop paying tribute and continue to live a small life behind closed doors.

There is no such thing in the world.

When they arrived at the back hall, Yang Chengying and Hong Chengchou sat down.

The maid served Jiangnan tea.

Hong Chengchou glanced left and right, and saw that no outsiders were present, and whispered: "If the Li Dynasty is obsessed, you really plan to send the old troops of the Tartars out to fight the Li Dynasty." ”

"Of course send them, I don't need to be a suspicious person, and I don't suspect it."

Yang Chengying replied to him with a smile.

Hong Chengchou patted the back of Yang Chengying's hand and said with a smile: "I guess that deep down in your heart, you actually don't want to send them out."

An army that started with plunder, more than brave, but not enough restraint.

If they wantonly plunder in the Li Dynasty, you will send troops to suppress it for the sake of strict military discipline.

At that point, success or failure will be a huge loss for you. ”

Yang Chengying listened to it and laughed: "Those who know me, Heng Jiuye." ”

The military discipline of an army will not be improved just because of a few words and enough money and food.

Throughout history, a "Record of Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty" and a "Manchu Old File" are full of records of Huang Taiji's various punishments and praises of soldiers.

Even so, the military discipline of the Houjin Army is still worrisome.

They can do what they want to do when they fight, but in other respects, they can do anything that breaks the sesame seeds and rots the grain.

For example, Turg's third brother, Cherge, is still at home.

This dude fought bravely, but he violated military orders several times, such as stealing booty.

was removed by Huang Taiji, and Yang Chengying did not use him.

In order to rectify this army, Yang Chengying followed the experience he had learned in his previous life, and scattered all the guards to the original Eight Banners as grassroots adjutants.

Let them mingle with the soldiers and stabilize the army from the roots.

It's just that it's going to take a long time.

But in order to show his trust in them, Yang Chengying staged a drama to make Bai Yintu ready to lead the army alone.

Only Hong Chengchou really saw this careful thinking.
