Chapter 1159

Under the guidance of interest is the best teacher, he really learned a lot of things, also learned some great principles of life, and relying on his own efforts, he became a head of a thousand households. His high position also made him see the hardships of more people's lives. It was just a small talk, and he didn't know what he could do.

This time, the emperor of the northern Ming Dynasty ordered to send troops to help Liaodong. As a man without any backstage, Zhao Xing became one of the hard jobs. Originally, he wanted to get a chance to perform, but he didn't think that Li Tong attached great importance to him and made him a thousand grain transporters. Because of this, he saw more dark things. When he saw that the food was robbed by the people, so these people didn't know how to spend the winter this year, he would cry secretly while eating.

Now he has the opportunity to express his views in front of King Wu Nan, who loves the people like a son, especially the Han people. How can he miss such an opportunity? Then he said it in detail. He even wept when he talked about his deep feelings.

Affected by Zhao Xing, some officers in other halls also involuntarily shed tears, but many of them had experienced hard times. Listening to these words, they seemed to pull them back to the past.

Only Yang Chen's expressionless seat in the East was there and was not affected at all. This is not to say that he is hard hearted. It is because he has seen too much and has been numb for a long time. If he had to cry, how could he have everything now?

The strong must have a strong heart. Instead of crying when things happen, it's better to find a way to change all this. This is what the superior should do.

Zhao Xing, who was standing there, talked about two incense sticks. He didn't come back until he had almost finished what he should have said. This was not his own military camp, but the political hall where King Wu Nan discussed military and state affairs. He quickly closed his mouth, and then knelt down again with a look of apology.

It was not until Zhao Xing finished that everyone looked back, and then their eyes fell on Yang Chendong, who was in the first place.

The main hall was quiet again, and Yang Chendong's voice rang through the people's ears. "The people live in poverty, which is the incompetence of the Ming government. Therefore, we should change all this. Even if they can't do it, find a possible way to govern. I believe this is also the blessing of the people all over the world."

"King Wunan is wise." all the generals responded in unison.

Yang Chendong raised his hands and pressed down. It was only a move. The main hall was calm again. Then he looked at Zhao Xing kneeling on the ground and said, "the people are very bitter, but there is not much food in the army. To fight, you need to maintain enough physical strength and nutrition, so these food and grass should be eaten by the soldiers first."

Yang Chendong's saying this is tantamount to making a decision. Naturally, others will not have any doubt. Even if they do, they will only report to Yang Chendong privately. But Zhao Xing didn't know such rules. He thought that what he said just now had moved the king of Wunan. At least other generals had a moving face. He didn't think it would be the same result. He said, "king of Wunan, can't you give some to the people? At least let them spend the cold winter this year."

"Hmm? Are you questioning the king's decision?" Yang Chendong, who was calm just now, suddenly changed his face, and a powerful pressure fell on Zhao Xing involuntarily.

Zhao Xing, who originally wanted to say something, was pressed by this momentum, and his face suddenly turned red. The feeling of being stared at by the original wild beast made him even have some difficulty breathing.

Yang Chendong used the skill of witnessing at the level of a great master. Under this momentum, few people can bear it unless they have firm faith.

Zhao Xing, who was targeted, looked very ugly and was doing his best to resist all this. Seeing Yang Chendong, he seemed to be burning with anger. Somehow, his sense of fear became weaker and weaker. At this moment, his mind was full of all kinds of hardships and even death scenes after the people had no food.

The more he thought about it, the more firm his heart became. Zhao Xing knew that if he didn't say it today, he would have no chance to say it in the future. Later, he didn't know where the strength came from. He broke through the layers of pressure under the art of witnessing. He forced his face up and said: "King Wunan, everyone says you love the people like a son. Please make decisions for the people in Eastern Liaoning. I'm Zhao Xing here to thank you for them."

After the words, Zhao Xing kept kowtowing until blood flowed out of his forehead.

"Zhao Xing, what are you doing? Don't stop soon." white eyes saw that Zhao Xing even used this move to threaten the teacher. He was so scared that his face turned white and stretched out his hand to pull Zhao Xing.

"Commander Bai, thank you for your kindness. I'll make a decision. If King Wu Nan doesn't agree, I'll knock to death here." Zhao Xing's eyes are very firm. He thinks that he has made great efforts from small to large. He has achieved nothing except winning the name of a thousand households. Now he has become a general of surrender, even if he will lose the position of a thousand households in the future. In other words, what's the meaning of life? It's better to take advantage of this opportunity to make a head for the people. Even if he dies, he can be regarded as coming to the world for a walk Bad.

At this moment, Zhao Xing faced Yang Chendong with an open mind. Other officers were shocked. They had not seen anyone dare to treat Yang Chendong with such an attitude. They even thought of the consequences Zhao Xing would face next.

Indeed, Zhao Xing's words just now really touched people's hearts. We can also see that he is a real general for the people. But after all, people are light, and what Yang Chendong said is not wrong. Before a large number of logistics supplies were sent, the army really needs food, especially now there are tens of thousands of captured soldiers. These people all need food. If they can't be comforted, there will be big problems.

Under the public axiom, women have women's basis, others can't say anything. Everything can only be decided by Yang Chendong.

Zhao Xing was also a bachelor. After saying these words, he closed his eyes and looked as if he would kill or cut at will. Therefore, the atmosphere in the main hall became very tense, and even everyone's heartbeat could be faintly heard.

Above the first seat, Yang Chendong has put away his momentum for a while. He didn't expect Zhao Xing to break through his witnessing skills. It can be seen that this person is indeed a talent. Those words just came from his heart. If he didn't hold the heart of death, he couldn't do these.

It's rare that his subordinates have such a people loving person. Yang Chendong is very fond of him. After all, not everyone with the people in his heart can still regard death as home.

Of course, he should use such talents for his own use. Just as everyone was waiting for Yang Chendong's sentencing results, he said aloud, "order Zhao Xing to be the deputy head of the Liaodong cavalry strengthening regiment, assist Tong long in the military's war preparedness and training, and order other divisions and regiments to prepare for the army's departure in three days."

The sudden order puzzled everyone, especially the party Zhao Xing. He was promoted instead of being killed. What's the matter? He was completely ignorant, but he still remembered one thing, that is, what should the people do with their winter food? Thinking of this, he asked directly, "King Wunan, food..."

At this time, Zhao Xing was not excited because he was promoted. Instead, he was still concerned about the food problem of the people. Yang Chendong also admired him, "The problem of grain is easy to solve. This year, including next year, within two years, I will not collect any agricultural tax from the people of Liaodong, that is, the three eastern provinces. The grain collected can be used for their own use, so there will be no problem?"

The reason why people in the three northeastern provinces are worried that they will have no food to spend the winter is that Wang Wunan will send someone to collect food in the late autumn. If the food tax is cancelled, this year's harvest will be enough for the new year and will be much richer.

At this moment, Zhao Xing finally understood that the king of Wunan didn't hear what he said, but was just testing himself. Thinking that the people of the three northeastern provinces would not starve to death if they didn't collect agricultural tax for two years, he didn't know how many lives he had saved. Now he fell to the ground again and shouted the king of Wunan's millennium.

"Well, you're also thinking of the people. How can I fail? They will be the king's people in the future. Of course, they won't see them hungry. This matter will be announced later. There's no need to mention it. At present, you only have five days for the whole army to go, and you can't wait in Shicheng." Speaking of these, Yang Chendong's eyes took a trace of heavy meaning.

"Sixth young master, don't we have to beat Li Tong and them? Will they come to us for trouble?" Ling Daqiang, the commander of the fourth Lu Division, said with some worry when he heard that he was going to turn his troops into the grassland.

"That's why we have to leave some people to watch them. Well, it's better for your fourth Lu Division to stay. You know, although we have made a supply road to Shicheng, it's not very safe, so someone needs to stay and continue to suppress the northern Ming army. This task belongs to the fourth Lu Division." Yang Chendong said with an appearance that I had already prepared.

Listening to Ling Daqiang's ears, he couldn't cry or laugh. "Sixth young master, we'll implement your decision."

This is not because Ling Daqiang raised a question. Yang Chendong arranged for them to stay, but had such an idea for a long time. In contrast, although the fourth Lu Division had bicycles in its hands, it could improve its speed, but the journey was too far. When it got there, it would be easier for the cavalry to come. In addition, it would be easier to defend but not attack in the next time It's the fourth Lu Division of firearms. It's of great use to stay.
