Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty

Through this moment, Yang Chendong sent troops only to that’s all the ships in the shipyard that had been out of service on the coast of Songjiang Mansion. The price Zhu Qizhen was naturally affordable. With a big wave of the hand, Kuang Ye’s memorial was approved, and while sending someone to reply to the message, he also informed Songjiang Mansion to make preparations for handing over ships at any time and taking out all the steel stocks in the mansion.

Zhu Qizhen had a positive response, and Chen Tian also came to the Miao Army barracks stationed near Gaozhou Mansion.

Miao Jinlong belongs to one of the leaders of the Miao nationality. Now he still holds a large army of more than 60,000 in his hands, and his status is naturally very noble. But knowing the identity of Chen Tian, ​​he enthusiastically set up a banquet when the other party arrived.

Chen Tian is one of the important counselors around Prince of Min. The so-called Seventh Rank officer in front of the Prime Minister, such a close minister, unless necessary, no one wants to offend him. Not to mention, when people appear here, they originally came to solve problems.

For Miao Jinlong’s warm hospitality, Chen Tian naturally did not refuse. Not only that, he also stated his mission at the banquet. He also wanted to hear about Miao Jinlong’s attitude and The reaction, after all, they have fought with mercenaries, and I think they should know this Duke of Zhongdan very well.

Miao Jinlong knew Chen Tian’s intentions, especially when he heard that he wanted to bring mercenary war to Vietnam, he even raised his hand to a 100% agreement.

Because of Geography’s position, the Miao people have always been at odds with the Vietnam people. Now that they have the opportunity to weaken the opponent’s strength, that is of course a better thing. When Miao Jinlong was happy, he also called out the scholar Zou De and gave a detailed explanation of what he had learned.

From the words of Zou De, Chen Tian has a better understanding of mercenaries, and he is more determined to bring trouble to others. So just rested for one night, early in the morning of 2nd day, he sent a letter to the mercenary, first to show his identity, and then express his intentions.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the two armies will not be cut in battle.

Actually, the people who died here as Emissary are ignorant of themselves. Of course, Chen Tian will not appear rashly until he understands the attitude of mercenaries, mainly Yang Chendong. . Even if the other party didn’t kill him and gave him to Kuang Ye’s hands, that would be the result of death.

As soon as the letter arrived at the mercenary barracks, it was quickly delivered to Yang Chendong. When he saw that it was Chen Tian visiting, Yang Chendong only laughed after a daze.

Really, when doze comes, someone will give pillows!

After talking with Kuang Ye, Yang Chendong guessed that he just wanted some steel and ships. When he was not struggling with the title of surnamed Wang, Zhu Qizhen would definitely agree to his request. After all, the Prince of Min series of events have directly affected Southern Ming’s regime.

But how to treat the Prince of Min series is also thought by Yang Chendong the past few days.

With the strength of mercenaries and the sufficient weapons that the Navy has just sent, it is not difficult to solve them face to face. But if he does so, Southern Ming will definitely consider dealing with his own problems as soon as Southern Ming’s pressure is reduced.

This tactic of devouring a wolf to attract a tiger is not what Yang Chendong wants to see. Just because he needs a large Han population, he can’t turn his face with Southern Ming. Otherwise, even if he conquered everywhere and lay down a large area of ​​the country and territory, who would manage it? Let the alien go? This is absolutely impossible.

In this case, it is unwise to be an enemy of Southern Ming. What he wants is to digest and change slowly, not to kill many Han people to show his military force, or to build a country similar to the Ming Dynasty. If that is the case, it is just a change of dynasty. Once how many years have passed, how is it different from other dynasties in history?

The so-called very big Yang Chendong began to think about how to solve the crisis of Southern Ming without making them big, and once his strength rose to a certain level, he would come back It’s time to reap the fruits of victory.

After thinking about it for a few days, I finally got a little eyebrow, that is, if you want to accomplish this thing, you must get the support of one person, that is, Prince of Min.

As I said before, Yang Chendong, who wants to dominate and not just build a country, needs a large population. How big is this large population? In a word, it is the more the better.

According to Yang Chendong, he will not only conquer the Ming Dynasty in the future. On the contrary, in order to maintain the population growth here, this place may also be a place he will conquer later. What he wants is not only Asia, but the entire world. He wants Han Chinese to stand on top of the world. Wherever you go, you are very noble because of your identity as a Han. If you are lucky enough to be born in a Han family , That was born like a nobleman.

Is it difficult to do this?

Of course it is difficult.

But for those arsenals that have advanced various advanced weapons in Okura, and Chihkan City has given enough conditions and books, according to the arsenal of the bottle gourd, the new weapons It will only grow more and more. As long as the quality of the army is sharp enough and the number is large enough, the use of thermal weapons against the lance broadsword will have an absolute advantage, which is destined to be not a dream, but there is a chance to realize it.

The problem has arisen.

How to rule that many turf? It would require a large number of Han people to do it. No one, even if you can lay down this place, you can’t become the master here, just like when the Japanese entered China. How powerful they were at the time, they were almost a sweeping existence in all of Asia, and in some cases, they created a few dozen people to manage a few hundred thousand counties.

So what? In the end, if you want to swallow an elephant, it is not enough to break your stomach. Although there are some other factors, you have to admit that if they have a large population, the goal may not be impossible.

It’s a bit far away. Speaking of coming closer, if you want to have a larger population, you must not be the enemy of the Han under the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, you will have a good fight. So you don’t have that many obedient officials and loyal to your army. Even if you wipe out Southern Ming and Northern Ming, the country will be messed up. Once the chaos mode is turned on, who knows how many people will die And how many years will it take to restore the population to 60 Million again?

Even at 60 Million, Yang Chendong is not enough. Fortunately, after the emergence of potatoes, the food problem of the people has been greatly alleviated. Nowadays, both Northern Ming and Southern Ming are encouraging childbirth. It seems that after more than a decade, the country’s population may be Will grow exponentially, and the appearance of these new populations may increase his chances of accomplishing his goals. But the prerequisite is that the Han population cannot be reduced for no reason.

For this reason, Yang Chendong cannot be an enemy of the Prince of Min family of Han people for no reason. What he really wants to deal with is the foreign country of Vietnam.

Vietnam is now an ally of Prince of Min. How to bypass them to deal with Vietnam is exactly what Yang Chendong has been considering these days. Just at this time, Chen Tian, ​​one of Prince of Min’s important ministers, wants to see himself, what is this not an opportunity?

Recalling the appearance of the killer Mo Tuo a while ago, he is from Vietnam. In addition, more accurate information has been sent from insiders. Mo Tuo’s shot was originally the decision of the Prince of Min executives. They wanted to murder a person with a borrowed knife.

With this accurate internal news, the main reason for Chen Tian’s arrival is why Yang Chendong can guess one or two even with his big toes.

In other words, this is what Yang Chendong is looking forward to. This is what Yang Chendong takes care of.

Even so, Yang Chendong just put his joy in his heart, and on the surface he still pretended to be an inactive look. Never let your opponent know what you are thinking about. Such a talent is a truly qualified and excellent diplomat.

“Master This Young Master knows about the matter. Look at arranging for him to come over tomorrow. Hu Mang, you should contact it first.” Yang Chendong didn’t say much. In fact, he didn’t need to say more, Hu Mang. As one of the closest people, he always knew what he was thinking in his heart, and it was necessary to get a price. Now that Southern Ming has taken that many benefits of steel, it makes no sense for Prince of Min to do nothing.

“Young Master, don’t worry.” Hu Mang promised as he understood clearly in the mind. After all, his role is to be a pioneer, but also to pave the way to elevate the identity of Young Master.

The mercenaries quickly replied here, promising that Chen Tian could come to the barracks to talk about things tomorrow. They also said that they could come freely, regardless of the response and the response of the Southern Ming army in Gaozhou. Not understandable.

This is a bit of grandeur, nothing else. It can be seen from these things that the relationship between this Duke of Zhongdan and Southern Ming is not very good.

The Southern Ming emperor Zhu Qizhen is very jealous of Yang Chendong. This has been an open news for a long time, but now it seems that there is nothing wrong. Chen Tian, ​​who got the answer, was naturally very happy. After seeing Yang Chendong, he thought about how to persuade him several times, and he also thought about unexpected situations that he might encounter. Day early in the morning brought a group of men straight to the mercenary barracks.

Miao Jinlong sent someone to escort the Miao Army Camp, but when it reached the foot of Gaozhoufu, it was taken over by mercenaries in camouflage uniforms.

And this is what the Southern Ming army did under the nose of the Southern Ming army on the gate tower, and the general Yu Guang who was in charge of defending the city tickled his teeth.

As early as last night, Yang Chendong sent someone into the city to inform Kuang Ye, saying that Prince of Min sent someone to talk with him. He also agreed, hoping that they would make it easier.
