Ruan Chuncheng's cooperation made Kong Jie speechless.Sighing inwardly that the other party could bend and stretch, he gestured to Captain Luo Po at the side, and when he saw that the other party also nodded in agreement, he smiled again and said to Ruan Chuncheng, "Prime Minister Ruan, please."
A fight broke out suddenly and ended quickly. In the end, it naturally ended with Leng Feng winning.Among them, Leng Feng had the advantage of being equipped with a bayonet, but it was more due to their cooperation.In other words, a cold front is a cold front, even when fighting with cold weapons, one-on-one, or even one-on-many, they can still fight and win.
Finally stepped into the barracks, what I saw was three steps and five posts, five steps and one sentry.
And these guards are all Leng Feng, their training has basically ended, what needs to be improved is only the killing methods and proficiency on the battlefield.So whenever he has time, Yang Chendong will train auxiliary soldiers and temporary auxiliary soldiers. Once their combat effectiveness is improved, they will greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the entire army.
Under the guidance of Head Luo Po and Political Commissar Kong Jie, Prime Minister Ruan Xuancheng walked into the depths of the mercenary barracks with the chief guard wrapped in a white cloth around his waist, and saw a large martial arts training ground from a distance. Thousands of soldiers are doing various drills.
Among them are those who practice in the queue, those who practice assassination, and those who practice target shooting. There are also some giant trees placed there, and several people work together to hold them together to practice strength and so on.
All in all, Ruan Chuncheng had never seen this kind of military camp training before, and all of this gave him a sense of novelty, as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.
When he happened to walk in front of a training queue of soldiers, seeing them practicing walking under the slogan of one two one, Ruan Xuancheng was very curious and couldn't help asking Luo Po and Kong Jiedao who were accompanying him : "Two generals, why do you want to train to walk?"
Of course, the two regiment-level officers would not tell him the benefits of being trained in the queue, but they just smiled and pointed to a young man in camouflage uniform not far ahead and said, "That is the brave man." , let's go."
"Oh." Hearing that Yang Chendong was right in front of him, Ruan Chuncheng let go of his curiosity, and strode towards Yang Chendong's position, and in the process of walking forward, his expression was constantly changing, until Feeling that the smile on his face was enough, he kept this look and came to Yang Chendong.
"My lord, the Prime Minister of Cochin is here." Kong Jie's voice came out respectfully and spread forward.
Yang Chendong, who was watching the training situation on the playground, did not change his expression, as if he hadn't heard this sentence at all, what should he do to continue or what should he be doing.
After Kong Jie reported again, he remained silent.He believed that the Sixth Young Master must have heard what he said just now, but there must be a reason why he didn't answer, that is, he would not ask too much.
Ruan Xuancheng, who was still smiling, stood there awkwardly, and a quarter of an hour passed.During this period, Yang Chendong talked to several officers around him, and pointed out many problems with the soldiers' training, but he didn't say a word to them, and he didn't even turn his head to look at them.
This made Ruan Xuancheng's face even more ugly as he stood there.If Prince Li Yuanlong's voice hadn't sounded in his mind, he might have flung his sleeves and left right now.
"Cough." In the end, you have to win the opportunity by yourself. After adjusting his mentality, Ruan Chuncheng decided to speak up by himself. Although this is embarrassing enough, it is better than standing here all the time. "Your Excellency Daming Zhongdan, I am Ruan Chuncheng, the prime minister of Jiaozhi Kingdom, and I am here to pay my respects by the order of our crown prince."
The voice was not small, it was from Ruan Chuncheng's dantian, so angry that it was impossible not to hear it.It finally caused Yang Chendong's face to turn sideways.
Yang Chendong finally made a move, and Ruan Chuncheng wanted to take this opportunity to say something more, but before he could open his mouth, the young and shameless Da Ming Zhongdan said first, "Are you the prime minister who came to pray for peace? Speaking of business, where is Hong Jin, this matter is left to you."
Two meters behind Yang Chendong, standing is Hong Jin, a prisoner of Jiaozhi, who came to watch how the mercenaries train with Yang Chendong's special permission.According to the Sixth Young Master's wishes, Cochin will also have its own army in the future, and the commander of this army will probably be entrusted to him.
When Hong Jin heard the news for the first time, he was so excited that originally he surrendered just to save his life, but now he really wanted to work under Yang Chendong's tent.As if he had an opportunity to come to the training ground, he was staring at everything intently, just thinking that he would be able to form a strong army in the future after learning the mercenary training methods.
Chapter 493 Hong Jin is not what it used to be (four more)
He was still studying, but Ruan Chuncheng's sudden arrival not far away immediately attracted his attention.As a former general of Jiaozhi, how could he not know Prime Minister Jiaozhi?It's just that in his capacity before, he couldn't talk to him at all, so he could only look at it from a distance.
But just now, all of Ruan Chuncheng's performances fell into Hong Jin's eyes. When he saw the prime minister who was still aloof before him bowing his knees in front of the sixth young master, for some reason, his heart felt happy for a while.
Originally, I was still feeling inferior because I was a surrendered general, but now it seems that there is no difference between the prime minister and myself.When he was thinking about this in his heart, Yang Chendong suddenly called his name, which shocked him, and he couldn't believe what he just heard.
When Hong Jin was still shocked, Humang beside Yang Chendong had already delivered a piece of paper with writing in his hand, "This is a request for negotiation, please take a good look at it. This is also something you can do well once in a while." Opportunity, seized."
Humang patted Hong Jin's shoulder while talking.
Just this seemingly insignificant action made Hong Jin very excited.Who doesn't know who Humang is, he is the person Yang Chendong trusts the most, even regiment-level officers like Luo Po and Kong Jie are extremely respectful in front of others, if they are optimistic about themselves, it is definitely their own pleasure.
Excited, Hong Jin immediately puffed up his chest, and said in an extremely firm tone, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhongdan and Hutou, this matter will definitely be handled in the end."
What Hong Jin promised was swearing, and he came in front of Ruan Xuancheng under Humang's signal, and then stretched his right hand forward and said: "Prime Minister Ruan, I will be in charge of the negotiation, please."
Ruan Chuncheng intended to talk to Yang Chendong, in his opinion, such a relationship is equal.But people ignore him, if he must stay here, who knows what will happen?
Not wanting to break up the relationship before the negotiation, Ruan Chuncheng could only sigh and agree, "I'm so sorry for General Hong."
Being addressed so politely by Ruan Baicheng, Hong Jin also beamed with joy, "Well, Prime Minister Ruan, please."
At this moment, Hong Jin was full of confidence, but when he actually went to see Yang Chendong's request for negotiation, he couldn't help being the first and the second big.Even if he was beaten to death, he would never have imagined that the Sixth Young Master's negotiating request would be so harsh. The superiors even demanded that Cochin hand over all the cities except Hanoi City, and also demanded that all Cochin troops disarm and hand over their weapons.
Where is the negotiation here? It's clearly forcing the other party to subjugate the country. He doesn't think Ruan Chuncheng will agree.So after the two parties walked out of the barracks and found a quiet compound in the city to sit down, Hong Jin was ready for Ruan Chuncheng to get angry and get up to leave.
In fact, Ruan Chuncheng was very angry after seeing Yang Chendong's request.This is an impossible condition at all. Fortunately, he didn't come here to negotiate, but to buy time, so he didn't just leave angrily as Hong Jin expected, but said very seriously, such a negotiation The Cochin State will not accept and recognize the conditions, so please lower the standard before negotiating.
Ruan Chuncheng suddenly said such good words, not even a word of anger, which made Hong Jin feel unrealistic.
The original Beidaicheng General's Mansion is now the place where Yang Chendong rests.After dark, Hong Jin came to the inner courtyard after being notified, and met Yang Chendong who had just finished dinner and was drinking tea and resting here.
"The general has seen Duke Zhongdan." Hong Jin fell to his knees with a plop, and said very reverently.He wanted to call Sixth Young Master, but he also knew that with his current status, he didn't have the qualifications.
"Come here, how's the situation?" Yang Chendong stretched out his hand, motioning Hong Jin to get up and answer, and also asked about the negotiation by the way.
"Lord Zhongdan, I have already talked with Prime Minister Ruan. He thinks our requirements are too high, and he hopes that we can lower our standards." Hong Jin said truthfully.
"Lower the standard?" An unknown smile flashed across Yang Chendong's face after hearing this, "Is he not angry?"
Hearing Yang Chendong's question, Hong Jin was taken aback for a moment, then thought for a while and then said: "It's someone who is a little angry, but he didn't show it."
"Haha, hahaha." At this moment, Yang Chendong couldn't restrain himself from laughing.I put forward requirements and conditions that are impossible for the other party to meet, and they don't turn their faces or get angry. They just say that the requirements are too high. What does this mean?
It can only be explained that they have never thought about surrendering at all, and everything is just to delay time.Therefore, no matter what kind of request Yang Chendong puts forward, they will use various reasons to shirk it.
In the so-called negotiation, Jiaozhi was not sincere, so why did Yang Chendong take it seriously.This is just a means for everyone to test each other.
Through this kind of temptation, Yang Chendong has already obtained the result he wanted, that is, the other party is indeed delaying time, and they should be planning something, and before they are ready, they will not turn their faces easily.
After learning about this, Yang Chendong had a clear idea, so he said to Hong Jin who was still standing opposite and waiting for orders: "So, when you go to talk to the other party tomorrow, just say this."
At the same time, in a compound where Ruan Chuncheng lived temporarily.The Cochin Prime Minister also finished his meal and was chatting with the chief guard beside him.
"Have you been to the training ground today? Let me tell you from your eyes, if we face the mercenaries now, what are our chances of winning?" Ruan Chuncheng asked with interest.Although it is true that he is the prime minister, he actually doesn't know much about the military, unlike the chief guard beside him, who was originally a member of the army.
Seeing the prime minister's serious question, the head of the guard hesitated for a moment and then shook his head, "The morale of the mercenaries is very high. If we confront them now, we may lose more than we win."
"What is the chance of winning?" After Ruan Chuncheng asked, he seemed to have considered something, and said again: "Boldly say yes, here are just the two of us."
Encouraged by the prime minister, the guard looked eager to try, and then slowly squeezed out two words, "Twenty percent?"
"Huh?" Ruan Chuncheng looked at the chief guard suspiciously upon hearing the word "[-]%".Seeing this gaze, the head of the guard lowered his head, and with some difficulty squeezed out two more words, "[-]%."
"Is it only [-]%?" Hearing this answer, Ruan Chuncheng was obviously very dissatisfied.
"Yes, with our current weapons and equipment, it's only [-]%. But if we can have more iron shields, maybe it can be improved. If there is any way to make mercenaries feel scruples, then the winning rate It will improve a little bit more." The head of the guard replied honestly.
Ruan Chuncheng knew that this was the truth, but the result still made him very dissatisfied, so he couldn't help but let out a long breath, and then he began to think in his heart that the prince had already asked someone to build an iron shield, and even said that he would build a movable one. Iron carts, if this is the case, are not at all powerless to fight back when they fight.Thinking about sending people to Nanming, if they put pressure on Mr. Zhongdan, the chances will be greater.
"Hey, what is lacking is time." Ruan Chuncheng sighed, whether it is to build iron shields, iron carts or go to Nanming for help, it takes enough time.But can the mercenaries give them enough time?How could he procrastinate?
"It seems necessary to make some concessions on some things." Ruan Chuncheng muttered to himself.
The first negotiations ended without a problem.Early the next morning, before Hong Jin could go out, Ruan Chuncheng came to the door on his own initiative.It's no wonder he's so restless, after all, he's under more pressure here.
Hong Jin was still thinking about how to complete the task assigned by the Sixth Young Master, which was good. Ruan Chuncheng took the initiative to find him, and he became less anxious. He smiled and invited the prime minister who had once looked up to him to sit at his home tea in the yard.
