"Ah!" Hearing Long Qi's answer, several subordinate officials were stunned, looking incomprehensible.
"Why? You don't want to. If you don't want to, then go and explain to them yourself. The national teacher doesn't care about it." Seeing that he made an idea, these people didn't seem to agree, so Long Qi was angry and turned around to walk into the mansion.This frightened the officials, they quickly stopped Long Qi's progress, and then asked aloud, "If you give them a half-finished product, what should I do if they find it on the battlefield?" ?”
"When they found out, they found out that they were overthinking their own capabilities. Besides, this time we were supposed to cooperate with Fan Yuhai to fight, but it was just to build momentum. Of course, if you have other ways, you can think about it." Long Qi said with an indifferent attitude.
If there were other ways, would they still come to Longzi for advice?Thinking that there is really no better way, those people in the army are like wolves and tigers, and they look like they will be beaten at any time if they don’t give anything. These officials finally made up their minds. Anyway, this idea is Longqi Guoshi came out, and once something happened, they were not alone and helpless.In the end, one by one expressed that they would obey orders, and they left the National Teacher's Mansion.
The ears finally became quiet, and Long Qi walked towards the backyard of the mansion with big strides. "You all stay outside, my national teacher wants to be alone." Waving his hand, he dismissed the guards around him, and he entered the courtyard alone.
After there was no one around him, Long Qi's footsteps also became faster. After seven turns and eight turns, he stopped in front of a small house. After taking a deep breath, he opened the door and entered.
The hut is not very big, except for a bed, two chairs and a small wooden table, there is nothing else, it looks very simple, but at this time there is a person sitting on the chair and playing with the tea in front of him, it seems very The appearance of concentration did not give birth to the slightest displeasure because of the simple environment.
"Mr. Yun." Long Qi's attitude became a little more respectful, far from being as superior as he was to the subordinate officials just now.
"The national teacher is here. Please take a seat. It's just in time for you to taste the tea I just brewed." Mr. Yun pointed to the empty chair in front of him with a smile on his face.
"Then have a taste of Mr. Yun's craftsmanship." With a smile on his face, Long Qi sat down on the chair.
The hut suddenly became much quieter. After the tea had been brewed and Mr. Yun took the initiative to pour tea for the two of them, Long Qi took the teacup and took a sip, then put on a very intoxicated look on his face Said: "It really is good tea."
Whether the tea is really good or not, naturally no one cares about it, what everyone is looking for is just an atmosphere.Mr. Yun looked at Long Qi's performance and smiled, he understood that this was just an excuse for the other party to express his position.Since he said that his tea is good and his attitude is so respectful, it goes without saying that this person has already made a decision.Thinking of this, the smile on his face became even wider, and then he pulled out his right hand into his arms, and a silver note of one million taels was held in his hand, "National Teacher, this is what our loyal and courageous Lord gave you." Yes, with this ticket, anyone can exchange the same amount of silver at any Yang family bank."
"Hee hee, hee hee." Long Qi unceremoniously stretched out his hand to take the bank note, and said with a smile as bright as a flower blooming on his face, "Lord Zhongdan is really generous, Long Qi admires it."
This is a silver bill of 100 million taels.Thinking about how big the Lancang Kingdom is, the revenue of the state treasury in a year is only about 200 million taels. This sale is half a year's income, who can't be envious.
Putting the banknote in his arms very carefully, before Long Qi could speak, Mr. Yun's words had already spread, "By the way, this is just the beginning. Mr. Zhongdan said that as long as the affairs of the state teacher are done well, It will give you a total of 500 million taels, which can be regarded as a kind of support for the future business of the Long family."
"Hiss!" Hearing the figure of 500 million taels, Long Qi, who had a playful smile just now, couldn't help but gasped.What a fortune that would be. With these, even if the Long family didn't do anything, they would be able to eat for several generations just eating interest.
As soon as the figure of 500 million taels was uttered, Long Qi's heart, which was still a little hesitant, became completely firm.Of course, he is not worried that if he does something for Zhongdangong, the other party will not honor it, because he will become a role model, and many people will see whether it is good or bad. If Zhongdangong really dares to play tricks with him , Presumably it will only chill the hearts of more people.It is said that the loyal and courageous man is a person who does great things, and he can't do things like this without measure.
Long Qi thought well, Yang Chendong didn't intend to play tricks with him at all, once the figure of 500 million taels was announced, of course it will be honored, this is related to his image to the outside world, the kind of self-destruction of the Great Wall How could he do it?
Then again, the reason why he had to pay such a high price was because Lonzi himself was worth the price. Five million taels is not a small amount in the eyes of any country, but it is really nothing in terms of Chixian City, which produces all kinds of novel goods.
This is the advantage of capital.The so-called money can make ghosts turn the millstone, and even when the silver reaches a certain amount, it is not impossible to turn the millstone back to the ghosts.Furthermore, fighting is fighting for money, and winning a battle can plunder more resources and good things, which seems to be a cycle.It’s just that some people play well and can form a virtuous circle, while some people play badly and it’s easy to collapse.
Chapter 573 Killing Prisoners
Obviously, Yang Chendong belongs to the kind of people who play well.With a big warehouse, countless goods and all kinds of knowledge in his hands, this is enough to give him an advantage of hundreds of years ahead of others. If he still can't do this well, it is really tantamount to living his life in vain.
Of course, even if you have money, some things are not immediately available, just like the process of contacting and persuading Lonzi, which did not go smoothly at the beginning.The so-called Mr. Yun is Yunque, the leader of the third team of the foreign affairs team of the Security Bureau. He was the one who persuaded Chen Di in Xiyu City of Jiaozhi, and gave King Li Li and his son a heavy blow in the back, so that the war can proceed more smoothly. go down.After the work of Cochin, he was sent to Lancang Country, where he began to carry out research.
Perhaps it was because the mercenaries did not drive here, it took some effort to establish a relationship with Lonzi at first.After spending a lot of money and finally meeting, the other party still doesn't trust me, or he still has a little fantasy about the Lancang Kingdom.
How can I say that Long Qi is also the national teacher of the Lancang Kingdom, and belongs to the example and leader of the civil servants. For such a high-ranking person, it is not a little difficult for him to betray the Lancang Kingdom.
Fortunately, Skylark is indeed capable.In order to meet the other party, the price is 100 million taels of silver.Sure enough, for Qian's sake, the two finally had a private meeting.Needless to say, with Skylark's ability, Long Qi was moved very quickly, especially when he got the promise that a certain percentage of the Yang family's products in the Lancang Kingdom would be handed over to the Long family for production. Lonzi really couldn't refuse.
But even so, Lonzi didn't agree to it outright, instead he said that he needed to think about it.In fact, he wanted to investigate carefully.Sure enough, after meeting and parting, many people from the National Teacher's Mansion left Lancang Kingdom and rushed towards Jiaozhi and Daming as businessmen.
It is also because the investigation takes time, and it is impossible for Lonzi to make any statement before making a final decision. The army suffered somewhat.
Although the sixth young master didn't blame Yunque for this incident, he still blamed himself, thinking that his intelligence work was not done well.In order to make up for this mistake, he suddenly appeared in the National Teacher's Mansion and lived in as a guest.
This is definitely a risky behavior. Lonzi did not refuse the sudden appearance of the skylark. Instead, he asked someone to arrange a house for him in the backyard.This lord of the State Teacher has a very good plan. If the person who investigates comes back to report good news, he naturally doesn't mind having a good talk with Skylark. Otherwise, he can also take this person down and send it to His Majesty the King. There is a sign of loyalty.
The way of advance and retreat is beneficial to him, so he let the skylark live in.And in more than two months, the sent people returned one after another, and the news they brought back completely shocked the national teacher Lonzi.
Doing business is an act of making money, and Longzi is naturally clear about this.But he didn't have an intuitive understanding of how much money it made. This might be because the Lancang Kingdom was too small, which limited his vision.However, the people sent reported that any businessman who can do business with mercenaries can be described as making money every day. They used the Chang family in Nanming as an example. They were originally a business family. They have established relationships with mercenaries, and I heard that the future head of the Chang family is still a student of Zhongdangong, so they can get more novelty goods and sell them to other merchants, which will bring a lot of benefits .
With the deliberate cooperation of the Yang Family Bank, the people of the National Teacher's Mansion were fortunate enough to see some ledgers, and the data obtained from them shocked Longqi even more.Just one Chang family can earn 50 taels a month in business. This is because they are located in Nanming, where business competition is very fierce.
A month is a net profit of 50 taels, isn't it 600 million taels in a year?Then if the Long family can also get a share of it, the consumption power of the Lancang Kingdom is not small, and there is not so much competition. Wouldn't it have an income of several million taels a year?
With the data in front of him, Long Qi couldn't help but stop doing it, and the balance in his heart finally tilted. Under the temptation of huge benefits, he finally made his final decision, which is to agree to Yunque's cooperation request and betray Lancang interests of the kingdom.
Not to mention whether the Lancang country can block the attack of the mercenaries, even if it can block it, the foundation of the country will be shaken, even if it is a national teacher, how much benefit can it get from it?Not to mention that his national teacher is not permanent, and the position is already extremely cold. I don't know how many people are secretly coveting this position. Once he does something wrong, it is likely to be lost forever.
So if the mercenary won the war, where would he go?
No matter how you look at it, it is safer to cooperate with mercenaries.After all, the interests will not be lost. As long as you have money, you can enjoy life.As for the outcome of the Lancang Kingdom, it has nothing to do with him, he is just a courtier, isn't he?
With a decision in his mind, Long Qi finally came to the backyard to meet this guest who had been in his mansion for more than two months.And as soon as he came, Yunque guessed that the other party had made up his mind, so he took out a silver ticket of one million taels, leaving the other party with no way out.
Under the temptation of so much money, Longzi really had nowhere to go.It is possible to do anything under greed, not to mention the benefits of 300 million taels of silver after the thing is done.In fact, Lonzi was also thinking about it. It is possible to do business, but only with capital.Don't look at him as a national teacher for several years, but in fact he needs to support too many people. In terms of money, he has only accumulated a few 10 taels. This is still the case when he is in power again.
Now that even the capital for doing business has been settled, he certainly doesn't have any scruples anymore, telling what happened at the court meeting today, as well as how several subordinate officials in charge of war logistics came to him just now.
"Very good." Yunque was very satisfied with Lonzi's attitude, "Since the national teacher has expressed his position, then everyone is on his own. The victory of the mercenaries is also our victory. For this kind of victory, I think it is completely okay. To make an idea on the soldiers of the Lancang Kingdom, as long as they pinch their logistics supply, it will be a great achievement. Well, if I really made a contribution to this matter, I can consider suggesting to Lord Zhongdan, and give the country Teachers will be rewarded with more silver taels."
Hearing that there was still a big prize, Long Qi's eyes almost narrowed.In order to express his gratitude, he confided another piece of information, "Mr. Yun, my people found that many Han people stationed in Lancang are being gathered together. As for what to do, they are not too clear."
"Oh, there is such a thing?" Yunque's face became a lot more serious after hearing it. Although he didn't understand the reason for this, but it seems that things will not happen for no reason. It seems that it is necessary to report this matter. Let Sixth Young Master know.
More than [-] mighty mercenaries captured Heping Town in just one attack.
The original city wall here was not high, the enemy army was only 3000 people, and there were only more than [-] people. It was impossible to block the advance of the mercenaries.
After occupying this place, Yang Chendong entered the barracks of Lancang soldiers in the central plains of the town. Leng Feng's second regiment leader Luo Po, political commissar Kong Jie, third regiment leader Wu Sheng, political commissar Chen Bo and others all came before the Sixth Young Master.
"Sixth Young Master, we have captured about [-] Lancang soldiers in this battle. What should we do? Send them back to Vietnam with the common people, and send them back to Xiaoliuqiu Island by sea?" Kong Jie, the political commissar of the Second Regiment, asked aloud. with.Post-war matters like this are generally taken care of by political cadres like them.
"Send the people back, so there is no need for the soldiers, they will all be killed, and the capital will be built." Yang Chendong was still looking down at the sand table that Humang had just made, without raising his head.
"Kill them all?" Kong Jie thought he heard it wrong, so he asked again.
"Yes, they are all killed. The martyrs in Hanoi City need us to give an explanation. Since the Lancang Kingdom dares to take the initiative to trouble us, they must be prepared to be retaliated by us." Yang Chendong raised his head while talking. He turned his head, and then glanced at the four of Luo Po one by one, "What? Do you have any questions?"
Seeing this from Yang Chendong, the four of them suddenly felt a lot of pressure.But Kong Jie, the political commissar of the Second Regiment, and Chen Bo, the political commissar of the Third Regiment, gritted their teeth after thinking about it, and said together: "Master Six, killing prisoners is not auspicious."
Chen Bo was originally a military cadre, even now he is also the battalion commander of the Second Battalion of the Third Lengfeng Regiment.But since he was also the political commissar of the regiment, he had to fulfill his power, and stood up at the same time, and persuaded him with Kong Jie.
"Huh?" Yang Chendong raised his eyebrows, seemingly displeased. "It's certainly not good to kill prisoners, but sometimes it's also a means of war. As long as it can deter people's hearts, this young master thinks that the death of 800 people is worth it. Well, the matter is settled like this, Go ahead and execute it."
He waved his hand very casually, making the matter a final conclusion, not giving other people the right to speak.
To be able to explain it to the two political commissars, this is Yang Chendong giving them face.If they still have opinions, then he doesn't mind removing them.It is a good thing for officers to have their own ideas, but it depends on what kind of thing it is. This is a war to destroy the country. If anyone has a little kindness in their hearts, it will prove that they are not suitable for such a war environment, and there is no way to do it.
With this wave of hands, although Kong Jie and Chen Bo's faces were still a bit unsightly, they still retreated knowingly.Obviously, Yang Chendong's power is too great, so powerful that he can say a word.
Chapter 574 Fan Yuhai's Secret Trick
Since the Sixth Young Master gave the death order, it must be carried out.This is also the first lesson they learned as Leng Feng, that is to obey orders.
Several officers retreated, and Yang Chendong, who was still watching the sand table, punched the place named Muzhou, "Order, the whole army rests for a day, and then attacks Muzhou."
