Before Liang Ji, Peng Jiu and the others arrived at the White Tiger Festival Hall, the merchants had already rushed over and gathered around the gate, stretching their necks to look inside.
The guards' bright spear points did not make them have any more scruples. They were all from Sichuan, and most of them were even from Shuzhong trading companies. They had long been accustomed to these killing weapons, and they even criticized the guard's way of holding the gun.
No, I want to come forward and correct it.
The Jingxi Army is like a devil in Tokyo, but in Shuzhong, these merchants regard these tough soldiers as junior soldiers. The older ones pretend to be kind elders and talk to the soldiers, but what they say is that they want to
Knowing whether Marquis Yun would allow the merchants to enter the grassland, and finding out that he could not succeed, the old thief's face was immediately exposed, and the soldier who was full of filthy words just wanted to stab him to death with a spear.
Liang Ji and Peng Jiu, who were wearing armor, entered the White Tiger Festival Hall. Immediately there were cheers. Fat old Huang, with veins on his neck jumping anxiously, jumped up and told Peng Jiu to say more good things in front of the commander. He and Peng Jiu
Jiu will be married soon, and he is surrounded by people from Shuzhong Trading Company, so there are not so many taboos.
The people in Shuzhong Commercial Bank have always been used to being arrogant. Because of their wealth and powerful force, as long as it is a big business in Shuzhong, they will immediately form a group to grab the business first, and then decide how to distribute it.
To them, the business created by Jingxi Army should be the exclusive business of Shuzhong Trading Company, so just now, they had already driven away all the merchants from other families.
Zhao Min and Zhao Yannian led a group of royals who had entered the White Tiger Festival Hall for the first time and were inspecting each other's armors. They had specially wrapped red scarves around their necks that were used when going on expeditions. They were the most excited to hear the sound of war drums in the entire Jingxi Army system.
.
The army under Yun Zheng's command is famous for its strict military discipline. I heard that the commander-in-chief also hates those who are disheveled, so they took a bath as quickly as possible and changed their clothes before coming over. Now they all look in high spirits.
, the instrument is extraordinary and fully demonstrates the royal family’s excellent genes.
But just now, two stinky men swaggered past them with their noses picked, and the monkey who was originally very picky about the military appearance seemed to turn a blind eye to their slovenliness.
Zhao Min saw the dissatisfaction in the eyes of these royal children, grinned and said: "If one day you can smell like beasts, even if the commander is mysophobic, he will cover his nose and not say a word
of.
Let's go, boys, your first battle has come, I hope you won't be short of a few people when you come back, but don't worry, I will give your relics to your father and brother."
When everyone arrived, Yun Zheng walked in from the back house, sat on a chair, sniffed, and said casually: "Tiger, leopard, can't you just clean yourself before coming here?"
Tiger came over with a shy face and said: "As you know, we are all scouts. We are too clean to be scouts. We heard the gathering drum just after we returned to the city, and we dared to stay there longer."
Yun Zheng covered his nose with a handkerchief and frowned: "Stay away from me, tell me, what's going on on the grassland again? Could it be that the Tibetans on the plateau went down to the plateau?"
Tiger said seriously: "It is impossible for the Tubo people on the plateau to come down now. The road is covered with ice and snow. If they want to come down, they have to wait until the mountains are opened at the earliest. However, Duan Silian, the emperor of Dali, always sends scouts to inquire about the movements in western Yunnan.
, according to the scouts we captured, Duan intends to explore the grassland."
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "I haven't seen Duan Silian for a few years and he actually started to think about competing with the Song Dynasty. Back then, the Privy Council should have approved Commander Di's army to advance into Erhai. He didn't clean up his hands, which resulted in today's disaster."
Liang Ji chuckled and said, "The Dali army arrived at just the right time. We are training the new army now, and we just want to find a suitable target for them to fight, so that the new army will not have diarrhea after seeing a big scene in the future without having been on the battlefield."
Zhao Min took a step forward and said: "Commander, 70% of the New Army's training subjects have been completed. What is lacking now is actual combat. Please leave this battle to the New Army to complete."
After Zhao Min finished speaking, Zhao Yannian and the rest of the royal family knelt down on one knee to beg for battle.
Yun Zheng shook his head and said: "If you want to join the war, it requires a step-by-step process. Sending you to the battlefield now is irresponsible to His Majesty.
There are not many members of the royal family. Although each of you has an entourage, if you die, you will lose one. You are the talents carefully selected by His Majesty, and you cannot be sent to the battlefield so simply and crudely."
Zhao Yannian shouted loudly: "The last general and others are also soldiers of the Song Dynasty. Commander, please give the order, and we will try our best to move forward. Even if we die, we will have no regrets."
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "Courage is commendable, but I don't care about the life and death of you and Zhao Min. What I care about is their life and death. Some people are ready, and some people are still not ready. Training
, training, the emphasis is on training and not on training. His Majesty must have taught you that when you come to my place, you are training. Now that you are sent to the battlefield without completing the training subjects, it is my fault as the commander.
Let's do this, organize all the new troops into the Youth Army, first get familiar with the environment they will face, and then talk about other things.
As for Duan Silian, hahaha, he probably doesn't have the guts to face me.
Where are the dispatchers from the Judgment Ceremony Court?"
A white-faced civil servant came out from the left and bowed: "Du Quan is here from the Sentence Court!"
Yun Zheng said seriously: "Give Dali a proclamation and tell them if they dare to come out of the woods in Nanzhao to spy on the grasslands of western Yunnan, don't blame me for hunting in the mountains!"
After Du Quan received the order, he went down to do things. Yun Zheng asked Zhao Yannian and others to stand up and said warmly: "Writing depends on whether it is necessary to fight. If it is necessary to fight, we will fight regardless of whether the enemy is willing or not. If not, we will fight."
Fight when necessary, and avoid wars that can be avoided.
This time, I want all your troops to enter the grassland. The purpose is to train troops, not to fight. We have internal agents on the grassland. What you have to do is to eliminate all the forces on the grassland that dare to resist. Reduce the number of killings if possible.
As a vanguard, you should be careful."
Tiger looked back at the clean and overly royal children and laughed and said: "Welcome to the Youth Army. In my army, you'd better not wear such fancy clothes. Only with more cow dung on the armor can you be qualified."
Youth Army."
Yun Zheng waved his hand to drive the tiger and the royal family members out of the Chinese army. Then he ordered the monkey to hang up a map of western Yunnan divided into countless small pieces by lines and said: "The purpose of this battle is to divide the grassland and eliminate the remaining population on the grassland.
Disrupt placement.
After the vanguard army, merchants will follow the army into the grassland. Once on the grassland, you will be the judges and executioners. The merchants are strong, and you can relatively favor the Tubo people when handling disputes. We are ready to transform western Yunnan into
The desire to establish a horse breeding farm has not changed, and these Tibetans still have great use.
You must remember that areas with abundant water and grass must give priority to the development of livestock, especially war horses. Merchants who are committed to developing livestock can give priority to arranging land. There is a principle that merchants who want to farm must arrange an arrangement for the edges of the land they purchase.
The circle of pure livestock farmers..."
The military meeting continued until evening. Instead of leaving, the merchants outside the military camp gathered more and more.
When a fat young man arrived, the worried people of Shuzhong Trading Company breathed a sigh of relief.
Lao Huang stepped forward and saluted: "Mr. Cui, Marquis Yun is still discussing the grassland matter. It would be great if you came. This business cannot fall into the hands of outsiders."
Cui Da smiled and said: "That's why I came here, but this time the matter in the western Yunnan grassland is very troublesome. Everyone who can reach out is doing so. There are too many people involved in terms of interests, and Tokyo still wants to meddle in Shu."
Sha Sha, it will be very difficult for us to monopolize the western Yunnan grassland."
Lao Huang said angrily: "We have worked hard to make the western Yunnan grassland what it is now. Why should others interfere? If you want to pick peaches, just plant trees yourself."
Cui Da smiled and said: "We have been too conspicuous over the years and have attracted the attention of interested people. Now our business is frustrated everywhere in Tokyo, Jiangnan and Hebei. For this reason, Marquis Yun is trying his best to balance this relationship. I hope
Being able to use this time to unlock the constraints we have experienced elsewhere."
Lao Huang said bitterly: "It's just an exchange of interests. When will we be able to do business happily without these arrogances?"
Cui Da looked at the generals who were coming out one after another and said with a smile: "As long as we are strong enough!"
When Cui Da walked into the military camp, he saw Yun Zheng and Zhang Fangping drinking tea. The two looked calm and calm, as if there was no conflict.
There was nothing sarcastic about what they said, they were just old friends sitting together chatting about family issues.
When Zhang Fangping saw Cui Da come in, he put down the teapot in his hand and pointed at Cui Da and said to Yun Zheng, "Isn't this the boy who was dragged home by his mother back then? Tsk tsk, there are really outstanding people in Sichuan. A businessman can become an official.
It is really rare for a businessman to personally confer a rank of six."
Cui Da put on a businessman's face and cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for your praise, thank you for your praise. Cui Da just takes advantage of the word "diligence". He is satisfied if he can get a little bit of saliva from the teeth of all the bosses. Kubu
The official position of Si Yuan Wai Lang is just a small reward given by Your Majesty out of pity to me, Zhongmin, and is not worthy of such praise from the Lord."
Zhang Fangping laughed and said: "That's wrong. The Cui family's wealth is fascinating. I heard that in the Jiankang Pearl Market this year, the Gyeongbokgung Palace envoy and the Cui family members competed for a rare sea pearl. The Gyeongbokgung Palace envoy because
I couldn't afford 50,000 guan of silver, but the Cui clan bought the bead. Even after I returned to the palace, I was still worried about it. I wonder if my nephew knew about it?"
Cui Da's expression suddenly changed, and the pupils of his eyes were shrinking sharply. However, he quickly returned to his natural state and said with cupped hands: "My grandmother has always suffered from heart palpitations. I heard from the Taoist immortal master that she should use the best sea beads to grind them."
Taking it has a miraculous effect, so my cousin risked a big crime to do this. The Cui family has found another good pearl and has quickly sent it to the capital to ask the envoy of Gyeongbokgung Palace to forgive me."
Zhang Fangping nodded and said: "So that's it, filial piety is greater than heaven, and the royal family can't hinder the people from practicing filial piety. Since you already know it, you should quickly untie the unhappiness." (To be continued)
