At the thought that once Yang Chendong was finally destroyed by Beiming, I'm afraid I can't get any benefits, so I'm not far from home.
Sighing in her heart, Xu Youzhen even thought about whether to take the initiative to turn himself in to Emperor Daizong and truthfully tell Yang Chendong all his previous contacts? But it was always an idea. At the thought of the serious consequences of doing so, he finally shook his head and gave up. He knows Zhu Qiyu. It's true that he wants to do things, but he's not very broad-minded. Once he really knows his private relationship with Yang Chendong, he'll be beheaded if he doesn't even have a chance to explain.
Thinking about the possible results, Xu Youzhen couldn't eat and sleep. When he was depressed and didn't know the way ahead, suddenly there was a soft sound of footsteps outside the inner yard.
Xu Youzhen is a dignified Minister of the Ministry of punishment, who is in charge of the criminal law affairs of the northern Ming Dynasty. How noble his identity is. He even says that he exists in his own house. He doesn't call at ordinary times. It's impossible for anyone to get close to the small courtyard where he has a rest. Listening to this voice, he couldn't help looking up. Then he asked coldly, "who is it? Without my master's order, who sent you here?"
There was anger in his heart. He was worried that there was no place to sprinkle. It was like suddenly finding a good vent, which made him angry. At the same time, a fierce color flashed in his eyes.
To become the Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment, his temperament has long changed. Not being angry and self-confident is not a joke. If you were timid, you would have trembled at the sound. But this time, the people who came here were as unheard of, and their footsteps were still calm and abnormal, as if they had returned to their own home.
There were such people in the house who didn't know how to advance or retreat. Xu Youzhen's face was even more ugly. He even thought whether to find the housekeeper and teach a good lesson. But then when the figure approached and could be seen clearly, the scolding words that wanted to be said from his mouth stopped for a moment. Perhaps it was because the breath was too uncomfortable, which made him feel red. "Zhong... Zhong Dan Gong, how could it be you?"
"Why can't it be me? You're a tiger's den, and others have to come?" looking at Xu Youzhen's unexpected appearance, Yang Chendong's face was still very calm. Then, regardless of each other's surprise, he stepped into the house and looked for a chair to sit down.
Xu Youzhen came out of the door to get some air because of something on her mind. Now she watched Yang Chendong return to the room. She felt cold all over. Thinking that it was a cold winter, she quickly trotted over. He didn't know that his performance at this time was no different from that of a dog leg.
Yang Chendong looked for a chair near the stove as if he had returned to his home, and then watched Xu Youzhen trot with him. Perhaps the living conditions are better. Compared with the last meeting, he has gained at least more than ten kilograms. He is not thin and weak. This will be more prosperous. "Xu Shangshu, look at your figure. You eat and drink well."
"Ha ha, ha ha, it's all thanks to the loyalty and courage of the public." Xu Youzhen has stabilized her mind for a while. When talking, the whole person has a lot of spirit.
"OK, you know." Yang Chendong nodded, then smiled like a joke. "The national public has always worried that Xu Shangshu will worry because he is too close to me privately. Now it seems that there is no need to enlighten."
It seems like a joke, but Xu Youzhen won't be stupid enough to really take this sentence as a joke. When his mind was right, an embarrassed look flashed on his face, and then he flattered: "you are so heroic, loyal and brave. I heard about your killing the royal guards. It was really a good and wonderful killing. Jin buquan dared to have a bad mind for loyal and brave. The boy Lai dared to touch the envoy of Hu Town, and they deserved to die."
There is more than one wise man. Obviously, Xu Youzhen also sees that Yang Chendong's killing today is not only for the sake of Li Wei, but also to settle the new account and the old account. With this, this man is worthy of being a Shangshu. He is really good at both.
Of course, Yang Chendong didn't hide from the other party. In fact, after knowing that Hu Kun had received Jin incomplete's order, the Security Bureau told Xu Youzhen the news and asked him to cooperate to get some information about Jin incomplete. This is also an insider. It's not surprising to say such words. Yang Chendong also nodded, "come, sit down and talk about your views on the current situation."
Yang Chendong is never arrogant, nor does he think that his decision must be correct. What he needs to do is to listen to the opinions of more people, and then choose the most suitable path for himself. This time, he came to Xu Youzhen to listen to some views of the bystander on the current situation from his mouth, so as to learn from him.
The Security Bureau has reported that Xu Youzhen has not performed very well recently. Many things have not been actively reported to them, giving people a feeling that they are suddenly thousands of miles away. When Yang San reported the matter to him, Yang Chendong guessed Xu Youzhen's mind. After all, literati are literati and are still too timid. I dare to fight for power and profit. When it involves rebellion and the life of the whole family, I finally retreated.
Just want to quit now after receiving so many benefits and taking so much money? Where is such a cheap thing in the world? This time, he mainly comes to remind the other party that there is no way back, such as political choice.
Before getting down to business, Yang Chendong didn't mind listening to him talk about his views on the current situation, so he sat down and looked good and flawed.
Xu Youzhen is a smart person, even very smart. Yang Chendong suddenly paid a night visit and didn't even say hello before. Why? Isn't it a sign of disbelief?
Thinking that others could appear here quietly, the servants in the house must not have found it. While scolding them for their waste, he also became very careful. This is a fair and aboveboard Lord who even the royal guards say to kill. If you annoy others, I'm afraid it won't be too much trouble to kill yourself.
While frightened, Xu Youzhen knew that she must perform better to win Yang Chendong's attention and trust. At present, he was silent for a while, and then began to say silently, "Emperor Daizong is a famous King with great thought and ambition. As a descendant of the Zhu family, he wants to repeat the glory of his father's generation. Unifying the Ming Dynasty will be one thing he wants to do, and then eliminate foreign enemies and sweep the world. In order to achieve this goal, the Northern Ming army imitates mercenaries and vigorously improves weapons and equipment. Now advanced fire guns and even advanced artillery have been built After the recruitment, the 500000 new recruits have been trained, and the 500000 new recruits are also stepping up training. In the long run, I'm afraid it won't be long before they have the conditions for war. At that time, not only Nanming and warra, but also mercenaries will be the enemy in their eyes... "
As he spoke, he noticed the change of Yang Chendong's face. That's why Xu Youzhen backed down and wanted to get off the ship. Didn't you win warra with advanced firearms? Now there are a large number of firearms in Beiming, and the number is much more than you. If the two sides meet, it's necessary to write a big note about who wins and who loses If so, where should Xu Youzhen go?
Naturally, Yang Chendong knew something about these situations. He was still worried, but after just going to the artillery camp, his worry disappeared completely. The artillery can only hit less than 500 meters. Even if it is more powerful, what's his fear?
Without saying anything else, with his big warehouse, he can destroy the target of the artillery camp in an instant. But he won't say these words to Xu Youzhen. Although this man took refuge in himself very early, it was forced by the situation. From his heart, this man is still biased towards the Ming Dynasty. In his eyes, only the Zhu family is orthodox, even if he is only a prince surnamed Zhu, maybe He will also follow himself. On the contrary, a force with a different surname may come to a bad end in the eyes of others sooner or later.
It's not just Xu Youzhen who thinks like this. In fact, there are many people who think like this. They all regard Zhu's children as orthodox. This is another reason why Yang Chendong didn't choose to attack Daming. He doesn't want to spend a lot of energy managing them after occupying a place, or even preventing them from rebelling. On the contrary, small countries such as Jiaozhi and Lancang , with theout too much information, it will be conquered and will soon be used.
After all, Xu Youzhen's words also indirectly show an attitude that the army of the northern Ming Dynasty has become stronger, which is destined to fight with mercenaries sooner or later, and most people are not optimistic about mercenaries. This is the real situation of the northern Ming Dynasty.
Xu Youzhen also sat there and said that from the change of the army, he talked about the changes in the court, especially the change of the military headquarters. Recently, the generals have been making adjustments. I don't know how many young people with no back, but good ability have been promoted by the fire line. All this shows another truth, that is, Zhu Qiyu attaches great importance to the heart of the army, and he is determined to be the heart of the first war.
Xu Youzhen is worthy of being a cabinet minister in later generations and one of the powerful ministers in history. Xu Youzhen's analysis of the situation is still clear and correct. From his mouth, it is far richer and more vivid than the information obtained from the intelligence personnel of the Security Bureau.
