Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty

“His Imperial Majesty, Sanbuyachuan city is not far from the beginning city, and now that Duke of Zhongdan can stand firm there, it must be backed by military strength, if possible If you ask him to take action, it must be just that transporting food is not helping the war. The problem shouldn’t be too big.” Xu Youzhen stood up and said in a guessing tone. The important thing is that he emphasized one thing, that is, Yang Chendong will not help Northern Ming, just help deliver grain and grass.

I said this to block Zhu Qiyu’s mouth, and first explain the matter. It may be a play to help transport grain, but to help Northern Ming send troops to fight the Warabu, that shouldn’t be mentioned. Because this is not what Yang Chendong meant.

Originally, after Zhu Qiyu heard Yang Chendong’s name, he had this idea and asked Duke of Zhongdan to send troops to help. Your title was given to you by Great Ming. Now Great Ming has something to do. It’s not too much to adjust your soldiers, but when you hear Xu Youzhen’s words, you know that you might think too much. It’s just that he still wants to try hard. After all, if Yang Chendong is really willing to participate in the war, he won’t say whether he can win the battle beforehand, at least he has pulled a share of the firepower.

Just without waiting for Zhu Qiyu to speak, Shi Heng, the chief governor on the military commander’s side, has already stepped up, cup one fist in the other hand and stood up: “His Imperial Majesty, Xu High Official has a lot of words The reason is that Duke of Zhongdan can help us transport food and grass. It only takes three months to defend the city of Zhongdan, and our army is approaching. At that time, the situation will be completely reversed. At that time, our army can expect victory. I will be Northern Ming army doesn’t need any help anymore.”

Shi Heng will come forward suddenly, but it’s not that he had discussed with Xu Youzhen in advance, he just didn’t want Yang Chendong to take advantage of it. That’s it. In his eyes, Northern Ming’s army has a strong battle strength and was originally invincible. One day Duke of Zhongdan and his Five Star Army will be trampled underfoot. But if you owe the other party’s favor now, how will you fight this battle in the future?

Shi Heng said this from a long-term perspective. As the main representative of the military, he said in this way that Zhu Qiyu knew that there was no probability of asking Duke of Zhongdan to send troops to the war. Nodded said: “Okay, that’s the case, Xu Minister, according to your opinion, who should I send to lobby Duke of Zhongdan?”

Speaking, Zhu Qiyu’s eyes are still on the crowd. The courtier looked and looked again. It’s just a pity that many courtiers didn’t even lift their heads. In their hearts, asking Duke of Zhongdan for help is not a good job.

“His Imperial Majesty, the minister came up with this idea, and the minister is naturally willing to go.” In order to take this opportunity to explore the reality of Yang Chendong’s strength, Xu Youzhen is naturally going to go. The other courtiers were reluctant to go, but let him spend a little bit less talking and don’t have to worry about someone competing with him.

It was Xu Youzhen who took the initiative to stand up, and Zhu Qiyu was very happy. Thinking of seeing the loyal Small Official in times of crisis, he couldn’t help but value Xu Youzhen more, thinking that this person was pulled up with one hand after he was in power, maybe there is a chance to give more reuse. At the moment, it was announced that Xu Youzhen should be appointed as an imperial envoy, and he went to Sicheng to discuss with the Duke of Zhongdan about helping the Sanbuchuancheng food and grass.

Xu Youzhen fell to his knees, shouting long live. Zhu Qiyu, who was very satisfied, was even happier on his face, and lightly nodded to Jin Ying who was standing aside and bending over. The Court Eunuch manager immediately noticed and shouted “Retreat. Xu High Official, please stay here, His Majesty wants to see you.”

Other courtiers chanted His Imperial Majesty to leave after being absolutely years old. Xu Youzhen walked straight into the apse and ran into the Court Eunuch manager Jin Ying who came to greet him. Hehe smiled and said in a congratulatory tone as soon as he met, “Congratulations to Xu High Official for being Lord Imperial Envoy.”

“Hey, wherever Eunuch Jin said, he was doing errands for His Imperial Majesty. Where did he mention congratulations? It should be the same.” Xu Youzhen also has the same face. With a smile, a silver ticket of 1000 taels was delivered from his hand to Jin Ying indifferently.

After taking a look at the bank note in her hand, Jin Ying’s expression showed more joy, “Xu High Official is really a pillar of the country. Don’t worry, then Xu High Official is interested, this Eunuch that should help will naturally help.”

“many thanks many thanks.” Thanks, Xu Youzhen cup one fist in the other hand, the two are almost parallel to the apse go with.

Zhu Qiyu had been waiting in the hall for a long time, and when he saw Xu Youzhen coming, he couldn’t hide a smile of joy in the corner of his eyes. When all the courtiers have nothing to do, this person can stand up to find a solution to the problem, and is willing to bear heavy burdens. With these, he should value it even more. “Come here, give Xu Minister a seat.”

“The minister dare not.” Xu Youzhen immediately showed a look of fear and sincerity, saying that this was the first time he saw His Imperial Majesty in private. Was given a seat.

“Hey, Xu High Official, this is the kindness of His Imperial Majesty. You can stand up in times of crisis. This gift is for you.” Jin Ying, who has just received the money Immediately stood up and made a round voice.

It was originally a polite Xu Youzhen, when the table below showed a very grateful look, even the eyes were red, as if she was about to be grateful, she said straightforwardly, “this small official many Thanks His Imperial Majesty, many thanks His Imperial Majesty.”

Xu Youzhen’s buttocks sat on the chair, and the next was a scene where the monarchs and the ministers were talking happily.

“Xu Minister, this time you are able to stand up, come up with ideas, and take errands. I am very relieved. But I don’t know how confident you are that you can convince Duke of Zhongdan to transport my army. Food?” Zhu Qiyu asked with expectation in his eyes.

Even though Xu Youzhen was sitting on a chair, he still looked terrified. Seeing His Imperial Majesty asked, he quickly replied: “If you go back to His Imperial Majesty, about 50%?”

“50%? Only so much?” Zhu Qiyu frowned, obviously not satisfied. In this way, wouldn’t it be possible to be rejected? If this is the case, as His Imperial Majesty, the order he gave was rejected by his subordinates. This speaking of which is not a prestigious thing.

That is, as His Imperial Majesty, that is very faceless. Or if you know you can’t do it, it’s better not to do it. At least you will save face if you lose. This is better than losing everything and being jokes in private.

Xu Youzhen’s Yu Guang has been paying attention to the changes in Zhu Qiyu’s face. When His Imperial Majesty became unhappy, he quickly said: “His Imperial Majesty. Even though Duke of Zhongdan is not needed for this time Participating in the war, but transporting grain and grass to the besieged Sanbuyachuan city, it is no different from being on the battlefield. The minister is really not sure enough to convince the Duke of Zhongdan. Besides, you know that the minister and Duke of Zhongdan have always been He didn’t agree with him. I have played him before. Speaking of which minister is really not a good lobbyist. If possible, can His Imperial Majesty consider changing to another person?”

This is what Xu Youzhen wants to express. He is ready to make a request. If he can’t hold the initiative in his hands, can he talk about this request?

Zhu Qiyu naturally knows about Xu Youzhen’s discord with Yang Chendong. This is also the important reason why this person is promoted with confidence, and this time he sent him to Sicheng, so there is no need to worry that the two will be stunned. This is why he promised to be an imperial envoy so happy.

Now that Xu Youzhen wants to shirk responsibility, Zhu Qiyu is willing to follow, and immediately said: “What is Xu Minister? I have just made the will in front of Entire Court civil and military. You can take it back at will. I think it’s good for you to go. If you have any requirements, you can raise it now. As long as Duke of Zhongdan can help transport the grain, any conditions can be discussed.”

Zhu Qiyu also has no choice. Not only is he optimistic that Xu Youzhen is a suitable candidate, but the other courtiers have no intention to go. Even though he is His Imperial Majesty, he can decide at will, call the courtiers by name, and no one dares to refuse. But what good results can be achieved when you are forced, if you mess up the errand, then you won’t even have Regret Medicine.

It was Xu Youzhen. He came up with the idea. The method was what he thought, and he recommended to go there. I must be psychologically prepared. Then there is no need to give up suitable candidates and use others.

Zhu Qiyu agreed to the conditions and requirements. Xu Youzhen and others were just this sentence. At the moment, he stood up, held his fists, and said solemnly: “The minister has a law and can guarantee Duke of Zhongdan sent troops and delivered food and grass.”

“Guaranteed? But complete assurance?” Zhu Qiyu asked with bright eyes.

“Yes, it is complete assurance.” Xu Youzhen said in a bold tone.

“Okay, let’s listen.” Zhu Qiyu didn’t agree with the enthusiasm, but first listened to the request. It’s enough to see that he has been a His Imperial Majesty for several years. I have learned Classical Chinese Studies calmly, and learned how to keep everything alone.

Xu Youzhen, whose face was entangled, did not immediately answer Xu Youzhen’s kneeling instead of standing, and knelt to the ground with a plop, saying, “His Imperial Majesty, there is no selfishness in his next words. Just for the strength and future of Northern Ming, I ask His Imperial Majesty to forgive the sins.”

“What does Xu Minister mean? This was originally the meeting between our monarchs and ministers, not the Imperial Court. Discuss, whatever you say, I forgive you not guilty.” Zhu Qiyu said.

“Many thanks His Imperial Majesty, that’s the case. The only requirement of the minister is that His Imperial Majesty grants Duke of Zhongdan the name of the Great Ming prince. Only with this requirement, the minister can guarantee that Duke of Zhongdan is used by us, sending troops and transporting food.” Xu Youzhen, kneeling on the ground, saw that the time was right, and immediately said what he had planned to say.

Although Zhu Qiyu has already made some preparations, he knows that there must be some price to pay if you want to reach 10% from 50%. But when I heard Xu Youzhen’s invitation, there was still an unbearable anger on his face: “What, the king? How is this possible.”

No wonder Zhu Qiyu is so angry, Great Ming Since Taizu stopped being a king with a different surname, how could this rule be easily broken from him? Xu Youzhen’s proposal is too absurd.
