In fact, for Yang Chendong, he doesn't care much about who lives and dies. Just as Li Li thought, he can just play within his rules of the game.Of course, Li Yuanlong was more or less shocked when he personally killed his son. Maybe this is the essence of a hero.
"Very good, Li Li, you have won. From now on, no one will embarrass you, and you can still live a good life. Of course, you don't have to think about power, freedom, etc. You will be sent to Go to a very safe place, eat and drink without worrying, even if your former subordinates want to visit you, they can do it when the application is approved. Here I just remind you, don’t think about some unrealistic questions , otherwise, there will be no son willing to take the blame for you next time."
After defining this matter and setting a rule for Li Li's life, Yang Chendong waved his hand directly, and then several guards including Badaojiang and Peng Yue stepped forward to take Li Li down, and those who brought him down together There is Li Yuanlong's body.
After dealing with the Li family and his son, Yang Chendong's eyes fell on Hong Jin, Chen Di and Ruan Chuncheng. "Hong Jin obeys orders."
"Your subordinate is here." Hong Jin fell to his knees with a plop, with a very pious look.
"Appoint Hong Jin as the general of the Cochin mercenary army, commanding 5000 troops."
"Chen Di listens to the order and appoints you as the deputy general of the Cochin mercenary army, commanding 1 troops."
"Ruan Chuncheng listened to the order and appointed you as the deputy general of the Cochin mercenary army, commanding 5000 troops."
As soon as he opened his mouth, three positions were appointed in a row.As the first two, Hong Jin and Chen Di naturally looked excited and happy.At least they can survive, and they still have a certain amount of power. Compared with many former Jiaozhi ministers, their results are considered the best.
Ruan Chuncheng, who was called last, stood there for a long time without moving after hearing Yang Chendong call his name. "What? Don't you want to?" Seeing that Ruan Chuncheng didn't express anything, Yang Chendong raised his voice a bit, as if he was asking questions.
"Don't I have to die? Why did you forgive me and entrust me with a heavy responsibility?" Ruan Chuncheng looked confused, obviously unable to understand Yang Chendong's decision.He originally thought that he was bound to die, and he had even made some mental preparations.But who would have thought that not only was he innocent, but he was also entrusted with heavy power?
"Because of your ability, what I value is your ability. Now some places in Jiaozhi are still in chaos. I hope you can come forward to calm down there and let the people die less. I think you can do this. You are also willing to do it, aren't you?" Yang Chendong named the reason why he should reuse the other party.
Although Ruan Chuncheng didn't make any contribution, he didn't do anything wrong either.What was wrong was only his original identity, which forced him to go against the mercenaries.No personal grievances, plus this person can become the prime minister of Jiaozhi, and even a hero like Li Li recognizes him so much. If he has no ability at all, no one will believe him.
Even Li Li dared to reuse him, why didn't Yang Chendong dare?Not to mention, Hong Jin and Chen Di were still suppressing him, so there would be no problem.
Of course, the main reason that drove Yang Chendong to use Ruan Chuncheng was knowing that this person was capable.The former Jiaozhi was his enemy, and when he wanted to kill people and cause damage, he would naturally not be soft-hearted.But now, this place has become his sphere of influence, and his thoughts will naturally change. How to quickly settle down and prosper here, and then affect other places and expand the influence and strength of mercenaries. the most important.
To achieve this, relying on Hong Jin and Chen Di is not enough.On the contrary, this Ruan Chuncheng, as long as he works hard, he can do it.
Naturally, Ruan Chuncheng couldn't see Yang Chendong's intentions immediately, but he was still impressed by the other party's generosity.Since ancient times, there has been a saying that a scholar dies for his confidant. Even if he doesn't consider this kindness, he must accept this errand for some members and descendants of the Ruan family.Otherwise, Yang Chendong will be angered, not only will he die, but even the Ruan family will have no good fruit to eat.
With a "plop", Ruan Chuncheng fell to his knees on the ground, and this kneeling was a little willing, "Thank you for being loyal and courageous, Chuncheng will definitely go all out, and the only thing left is death."
"Okay, get up, my country doesn't want you to die. Speaking of becoming my subordinates, you should live a better life. I also have the ability to bring you these things. Of course, if anyone has other My little Jiujiu, once you are discovered, don't blame me for being ruthless." When he said the latter, Yang Chendong's expression became serious. "I hate others betraying me the most. If anyone dares to do this, it is guaranteed that they will live worse than death."
"Subordinates dare not." Hong Jin, Chen Di, and Ruan Chuncheng said in unison.
Taking advantage of this situation, Yang Chendong nodded, and then handed over the task of pacifying other places in Jiaozhi to the three of them. Presumably with the 3 horses and the mercenary force, there shouldn't be many people in Jiaozhi. There is no one who resists.
Chapter 536 Depressed Cai Ge
Following the three people's departure, another young man was brought into the hall.
As soon as the young man entered the hall, he knelt down in front of Yang Chendong with a plop, saying hello to the teacher.
The person who came was none other than Chang Jiachang Qianhao, one of the first batch of students of Yang Family Academy and one of Yang Chendong's disciples.
The Chang family was a wealthy gentry's family. Not only was the family wealthy, but their businesses spread all over the Jiangnan area. There were even some officials in the family, who were inextricably linked with the Nanming officialdom.
As the leader of the younger generation of the Chang family, Chang Qianhao had already shown his head and feet in the family and possessed a certain status.But he was not a satisfied person in the first place, especially after he went to the capital of Beiming and saw the power of Shenxianju and Tianwaitian, he felt admiration for Yang Chendong, the person behind all these scenes.
Later, when the Yang Family Academy recruited students, he signed up and became one of them.Later, because of his outstanding performance in business, he became one of the few disciples that Yang Chendong valued.After graduating, he returned to Chang's house in Jiangnan, and did a lot of work for Yang Chendong, making Chang's family stronger in Jiangnan shopping malls.
Chang Qianhao himself was regarded by the older generation of the Chang family as one of the most promising people to inherit the family business.And this time he was summoned to Cochin, because Yang Chendong wanted to start business here. The Chang family had a lot of influence in the Nanming business circle, and this was what he needed to rely on, which led to the current scene.
"Qianhao, your body has grown stronger again. Not bad, get up." Looking at the disciple who was kneeling on the ground, the skin on his body seemed to be darker again, Yang Chendong nodded in satisfaction, and then pointed to the disciple in front of him. of a chair.
Gifted by the elders, dare not to give up.
Although Yang Chendong was only a few months older than Chang Qianhao in terms of age, the idea of being a teacher for a day and a father for life was still very popular at that time, and it was also the most orthodox existence.Chang Qianhao sat in front of Yang Chendong with a trembling look.
"Don't be nervous, I called you here this time because there are some things for you to do. The teacher is going to start business with Cochin as the center, start selling some items operated by Tianwaitian here, and then allude to Nanming and some nearby countries How about going? Do you have the confidence to do this well?" Yang Chendong said with a smile on his face.
Although there was already a Tianwaitian trading company in Beiming, the transportation was not developed in ancient times. When some things were transported to Nanming, or even Jiaozhi and other countries, the price increased a lot because of the transportation problem. It is not conducive to the rapid sale of some goods in Chixian City.That's why he decided to build a second commercial center centered on Jiaozhi. In this way, Jiaozhi can be prospered, and their life can be restored to their original strength. They can also earn more money and allow goods to circulate faster. Why not do it?
Chang Qianhao thought of what was going on before he came.As for some people saying that Cochin is still Cochin, Yang Chendong doesn’t necessarily have the final say on the issue. He didn’t think too much about it at all. With his trust in the teacher, since he came here, he naturally didn’t have to think about safety issues. .
Sure enough, when he came to Jiaozhi Kingdom, everything here changed.The originally huge country has now become Yang Chendong's territory.This kind of thing may happen to others, and it will definitely make people astonished, but when everything is related to Yang Chendong, Chang Qianhao thinks it is too simple.
If someone really went to the Yang Family Academy and heard Yang Chendong's lectures, he would know that this young teacher really knows astronomy first, geography second, and seems to know everything.There is no need to be surprised that such a person can do anything, because he possesses such magical power and ability.
"Teacher, the students will definitely work hard and not let you down." He said with some excitement.Although Yang Chendong never mentioned any benefits for him from the beginning to the end, sometimes it is the biggest benefit not to mention it. For example, there is always a problem of proportion when selling things to various places, and there must be a general agent problem when selling things to various places. .Yang Chendong didn't specify who would give it to him, so how to divide the cake, wouldn't it be up to him?
This is an opportunity to strengthen the strength of the Chang family invisibly. As long as he is slightly biased towards the Chang family and those who are close friends with the Chang family when operating, wouldn't he have everything?
Of course, it is limited to a little tampering, and it can't be too much.And how to pay, the Chang family should also pay, otherwise, what kind of consequences would be brought if they angered the teacher, no one can imagine.I'm afraid that if that day comes, it will be difficult to say whether the entire Chang family will exist.
The conversation with Chang Qianhao ended soon.After all, Yang Chendong needs to do a lot of things, he only needs to point out one way about business matters, and the people below should know how to do it.His main energy is still to be put on dealing with big things.
What is the big deal?Of course, it is how to deal with the relationship between the Southern Ming Dynasty and the Northern Ming Dynasty, including the king of Min.
The reason why King Min was placed in the same position as the Southern and Northern Ming.That's because Yang Chendong didn't mean to be an enemy of King Min.On the contrary, he has to find a way to balance these three forces as much as possible.Only in this way, they will not point the main finger at him, and he will have the opportunity to vigorously develop his own territory and do what he wants to do.
"Yang Er, prepare the meals. I will make an appointment with Nanming's envoys in the afternoon. After all, they represent the Yingzong, so we shouldn't be too negligent." After dealing with these matters all morning, Yang Chendong stretched his waist, Get up and stand.
Compared with Yang Chendong's comfort, Cai Ge, the Xuanzhi eunuch who was entrusted by Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen to come to Cochin, felt a little like he didn't think about tea or food.
I thought that I came here on behalf of Yingzong this time, mediating the Jiaozhi war in an extraneous and detached capacity.Think about it, under the stalemate in the war, both sides may suffer heavy losses, but no one wants to take a step back, and at this time, my appearance can give them more steps, which must be popular, even Among them, Nanming, seeking some benefits for himself is the most reasonable thing.
This is also the reason why Uncle Cai Zhong worked hard to help him win this job.
Yingzong Zhu Qizhen belonged to a master who cared about eating but not fighting. Even if it was because of Wang Zhen's civil engineering defeat, he almost lost his throne for a time.However, after gaining a foothold in Nanjing, the eunuch group was still reactivated.
It's just that they are eunuchs with different identities. For example, there are several eunuchs around Yingzong. In addition to those like Mou Mu who mainly serve Queen Qian, there are also people like Cao Jixiang, Several major forces such as Qian Sengbao and Cai Zhong.
Regarding the emergence of these eunuch forces, Zhu Qizhen has been looking for a way to balance, that is, to prevent a certain family from becoming bigger, and to prevent a certain family from being suppressed and having no place to survive.
But no matter what you do, it is still difficult to make a bowl of water level.In contrast, Cai Zhong's family was originally weak.Perhaps it was Zhu Qizhen who saw this and gave Cai Ge, Cai Zhong's nephew, the task of going to Jiaozhi to announce the decree.
Along the way, Cai Ge was imagining what kind of identity he would appear in after arriving at Jiaozhi, and what kind of majestic appearance he would appear on the stage.But in reality, the more one enters the land of Cochin, the more complicated this idea becomes.Along the way, all I heard was the news of the defeat of the Jiaozhi army. After I went to Hanoi City, the capital of the former Jiaozhi, I heard about the battle in Xiyu City.
It was beyond Cai Ge's expectation that the war would come to fruition in such a short period of time.So much so that on the way from Hanoi to Xiyu City, seven or eight out of ten people from the Cochin Mission who followed him ran away, perhaps because they were afraid of being involved.
Others can leave, but Cai Ge cannot.Otherwise, not only will his uncle be implicated, but he will also have nowhere to stay, waiting for Dongchang and Jin Yiwei to hunt him down.
Bite the bullet and finally came to Xiyu City. Before entering the city, I saw several Jingguan appearing.This is the previous Jiaozhi Jingguan with 5000 heads, and the large Jingguan with 3 heads under the later war.
When he saw the tall Jingguan formed by the accumulation of human heads from a distance, Cai Ge couldn't help but feel his legs go weak, his scalp numb, and his whole body tremble. He knew that this time his task might not be easy to complete.
No matter what kind of mood he was in, Cai Ge still came to Xiyu City, and he was indeed received warmly, which made his nervous heart feel better.And when he was informed that Mr. Zhongdan would meet him in the afternoon, he began to think about how he would speak in the afternoon and complete his task.
Before he could think everything over, another piece of news came out suddenly, disrupting Cai Ge's originally quiet heart.King Jiaozhi and the prince were also arrested by Yang Chendong. Not only that, King Jiaozhi killed his young son in front of everyone in order to survive.
Naturally, Cai Ge would not doubt the authenticity of this news.After all, it was some former Cochin ministers who spread the news. It is said that they were all present at the time and saw it with their own eyes.Then if this news is true, the problem will come, Jiaozhi has been destroyed, wouldn't it be ridiculous for him to appear here as a war mediator?
In such a trance, someone came to see him, saying that the loyal and brave man wanted to see him.With extreme nervousness and even a muddled head, Cai Ge came to a courtyard and saw Da Ming Zhongdan who was playing with goldfish by a garden pond.
