V2.Chapter 102

Shao Fang was stunned by Tang Yin and looked at him puzzled* 8. * bubble! Books. All right*

Tang Yin said, "Brother Shao doesn't want to marry the Jade King out of sincerity, but it's the real intention to annex the jade kingdom. Brother Shao only needs two counties to send troops to help you annex the jade kingdom. This business can be said to make a lot of money!" Tang Yin directly pointed out his words so that Shaofang also understood that he was not a fool who didn't understand anything. He knew what idea he was making.

Shao Fang's face was not red and he was out of breath. He smiled leisurely and said, "the two countries are allies. Don't Tang Wangdi want to change from the alliance of the two countries to the alliance of the Three Kingdoms?"

"But Brother Shao annexed the jade Kingdom, but I only got two counties, and there was a hard bone like sun Yuanhong. Brother Shao didn't let me have two counties, but gave me a big trouble." Tang Yin said helplessly.

Shao Fang sighed secretly and turned his eyes to Zhang Rong, the Taifu walking with him. The latter turned his eyes and winked at Shaofang quietly, indicating that he could change the conditions.

After receiving Zhang Rong's signal, Shao Fang laughed and said, "in addition to the two counties occupied by Chang sun Yuanhong, I plus Kou and baigui two counties, there are four counties together. What do you think of brother Tang?"

Shangkou county and baigui county are located in the south central part of Ningdi. There are many rivers in the territory, the land is fertile, and agriculture and commerce are very developed. Mo and Feng originally occupied eight counties in Ningdi, but now Shaofang wants to give up four counties at once. It can be said that they are cutting meat. This condition is also generous enough.

Shao Fang was so generous that he was willing to give up the four counties, which also shows his importance to the jade state.

Tang Yin said no more. Although the four counties in Ningdi are not as good as the whole jade country, they are not much different. If they can be taken down smoothly, the strength of the wind country will also increase greatly. He raised his eyebrows, smiled and asked, "Brother Shao, are you serious?"

"Of course!"

"A gentleman's word!"

"A whip of a fast horse!" Shao asked happily, "so, did brother Tang accept it?"

Tang Yin said with a smile, "Brother Shao once helped me, and now I should help Brother Shao in turn. I still understand that cooperation is strong and division is weak between you and our two countries."

Shao Fang was very happy to hear him personally agree to this matter. He laughed up and said, "I really didn't misjudge brother Tang's behavior. This time, I've finally made a worthwhile trip."

Tang Yin asked, "I don't know when Brother Shao plans to send troops?"

"It's not too late. The sooner the better." Shao Fang replied, "I don't know how many troops the younger brother of the Tang Dynasty can send at present?" Since seeing Tang Yin, he has been saying that the country of Feng is now in a state of waste and weak national strength. He promised to send troops, but if only tens of thousands of troops were sent, it would be better not to send them.

Tang Yin noticed his concern and said, "how about 400000?"

Shao Fang's spirit was boosted by the speech. There were 400000 troops, which was the best. When the wind and Mo countries destroyed Ning, the strength of the wind army was less than 400000! He said with a smile, "if the younger brother of the king of Tang can really send 400000 troops and horses, great things can be achieved."

Tang Yin said, "OK! Let's make a deal!"

"It's a deal!"

The wind country has a lot of troops now, even surprisingly many. Ten regiments of the plain army, ten regiments of the Sanshui army, ten regiments of the Chifeng army, ten regiments of the directly subordinate army, ten regiments of the Tianying army, ten regiments of the Huwei army and fifteen regiments of the Feilong army, together with the new recruits in the reserve army, the central army of the Fengguo has nearly one million people.

Now the Sanshui army is in Tiya, and the eagle army is stationed in Ningdi. Even so, there are still five legions in Fengdi. It is easy for Tang Yin to send 400000 people.

Tang Yin and Shao Fang soon finalized the troop strength, time and place of sending troops. According to Tang Yin, the Fengjun dispatched 400000 troops this time and set out at the end of this month to station in Tianshui County on the border between Mozambique and jade. Mozambique sent 500000 troops to Tianshui county. Together, there are 900000 troops of the two countries, which can be known as one million troops.

Of course, Tang Yin did not forget to cry for poverty. The 400000 troops had to cross Fengdi and modi to reach Tianshui county. Such a long distance, long journey and huge consumption of money and food had to be borne by Mo Guo. Shao Fangdao was also generous and promised to pay 500000 liang of silver and one million stones of grain and grass to Fengguo.

Taking one stone as 100 kilograms, one million stones is equivalent to 50 million kilograms. It looks like a huge number. In fact, it is divided into 400000 troops, and these grains are only enough to eat for about two months. This is the consumption of war. Even if there is no war and no dead soldiers, the amount of money and food consumed every day is astronomical.

If the troops do not go out and stay in the garrison, they can solve the problem of food and grass by cultivating the fields, and they can basically be self-sufficient. This is the reason why war consumes so much money and food.

Shao Fang offered a lot of prices, but for Tang Yin, it was only reluctantly acceptable. Next, Shao Fang turned and said, "brother Tang, you have to do something for me before sending troops."

"What's up?"

"Let the emperor order marriage." Shao Fang's eyes shone brightly and said, "if you and our two countries rush to send troops and send troops out of anonymity, it's easy to fall into the mouth of others. If the son of Heaven gives marriage and the jade state does not allow it, it's the fault of the jade state, and our troops will become a righteous army!"

Tang Yin narrowed her eyes and gave a powerful praise in her heart! What he praises is not Shao Fang, but Shangguan Yuanji. What Shaofang was thinking was almost expected by Shangguan Yuanji. As early as last night, Shangguan Yuanji said that Shaofang would ask Tang Yin * the son of heaven to give him a marriage. As expected, Shaofang was going to do so.

Having heard the analysis of Shangguan Yuanji in advance, Tang Yin was not surprised. She nodded with a smile and said, "it's easy to do. I'll send someone to ask the emperor for instructions early tomorrow morning!"

Ask Yin Zhun to give this will. Tang Yin doesn't have to come forward in person. He just sends the minister to inform him.

After hearing this, Shao Fang heaved a long sigh of satisfaction, then said with envy and exclamation: "it's true that no matter what you do, you will get twice the result with half the effort!"

Tang Yin looked at Shaofang with a funny feeling. Now you understand the benefits of the emperor. What did you do at the beginning?

Shao Fang went to Fengguo smoothly. After only three days in Yancheng, he set off for home.

He won over the Fengguo to send troops and successfully asked the emperor to grant marriage. Now things are on the line, and Shaofang also needs to prepare for returning home as soon as possible.

Tang Yin didn't leave him either. When he sent him out of the city, Shaofang asked Tang Yin to go out with the army, perhaps to catch up with his marriage with the Jade King lingshuang. The marriage of the monarchs of the two countries is an unprecedented new thing, which can not be found. If you miss it, you will regret it all your life.

Tang Yin is not the kind of person who likes to join the fun, but Tang Yin is really worried about the mobilization of the 400000 army. Since Shaofang offered to invite him, he accepted his words and promised to go with the army to Tianshui County on the Moyu border.

Soon after Shao Fang left the Feng state, the imperial decree of the son of heaven for marriage also spread to the jade state.

This imperial edict can be said to have caused an uproar in the court and the public of the jade state. While shocked, many ministers also angrily scolded the son of heaven for his stupidity in their hearts. There is no reason for the two monarchs to marry. Isn't it clear that the Mo state should annex the jade state?

The Jade King lingshuang was also surprised by the emperor's marriage, but on the surface, she was as calm as ever. Looking at the indignant civil and military ministers in the Manchu Dynasty, she suddenly had an impulse to laugh.

If the ministers had not strongly opposed her marriage to General Yang Wu at the beginning, how could the emperor issue such an unreasonable edict now?

General Yang Wu of the jade kingdom was named Xu Wenfeng. He was born in a humble background and started as an ordinary soldier. Because of his outstanding ability and high spirit and martial arts, he was gradually reused and promoted step by step. He soon sat in the post of military commander of the royal palace guard. Because of this, he gradually had more contact with lingshuang.

The two of them were of the same age. Xu Wenfeng was also heroic and powerful. He was soon appreciated by lingshuang and won the admiration of lingshuang. Soon after that, lingshuang personally canonized him as general Yangwu and took charge of the royal palace guard.

However, no matter how talented and capable Xu Wenfeng was, after all, he was not a traditional aristocrat. At that time, ministers simply could not accept that the king would marry a military general of civilian origin.

When lingshuang raised the matter in the court, the court opposed it, and many ministers even threatened to kill themselves with one head. After all, lingshuang is a woman and lacks the strong spirit of a man. Under the opposition of the ministers, the matter can only be put on hold for discussion later.

As a result, for several years, the opposition of the officials was still strong, but the will of the son of heaven to marry came.

With such antecedents and consequences, lingshuang would feel a sense of pleasure at this time. Looking at the ministers' anxious scratching their ears and cheeks, they were like a great disaster, as if they were about to perish, and the corners of her mouth twitched a few times unconsciously.

Fortunately, Xu Wenfeng is just a general Yang Wu. He is only five grades in terms of grade. He is not qualified to go to the court and participate in the proceedings, otherwise the scene will be more lively.

In fact, lingshuang is very clear that the son of heaven will not issue such a will for no reason. Someone must be controlling the son of heaven. Now only Tang Yin, the king of wind, can force the son of heaven. The country of wind is in alliance with the country of Mo, which can explain why the son of heaven wants to marry the two countries of Yu and mo.

She took a deep breath, cleared her throat and asked jokingly, "ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of the emperor's marriage? King Ben and King Mo can be called home keepers, right?"

"Your Majesty, this marriage should never be allowed!" Cui Teng, the right Minister of the jade state, said in a trembling voice, "since ancient times, there has been no precedent for the monarchs of the two countries to get married. The son of heaven gave marriage to Mo to annex our jade state and to destroy our jade state!"

"The son of heaven has already become a puppet in the hands of others. Who will listen to his will?" General Shang of the jade Kingdom shouted angrily, "we don't respect such a childish and unreasonable edict!"

After Shang Chong's words, there was a sound of breathing in the hall. Everyone knew that the emperor was a puppet, but no one dared to say it in public. Now people's faces have also changed after hearing Shang Chong's words.
