Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 464 Confused Song Sheng

When Yan Zhenzhi came to see Chen Yunfu, he brought Chen Xi, Chen Jiading and his son with him.

The latter was a little surprised, and he was happy after asking why.

At present, Daming does not have a wealth list, otherwise, the Chen family should be the richest man.

This sense of smell and aggressiveness, even he, a traveler, admired him very much.

The South India Company was created by the imperial court, and the Chen family wanted to participate in it and get a share of the pie.

"Talk to Gu, why did your Chen family suddenly think of going to India to do business?"

Chen Jiading glanced at his father, and after receiving the latter's encouraging eyes, he stood up boldly and bowed down.

"Responding to your Majesty's words, I have heard that the imperial court intends to develop India, and that King Xuan was transformed into Fangwai. This is an act of a sage. Although I am a merchant, I am willing to be driven by the imperial court to do the work of dogs and horses."

It is not wrong for Chen Jiading to call himself a minister here, he took over the seat of his father Chen Xi, he is the chairman of the Guangdong Federation of Industry and Commerce, and he holds the title of fifth rank of the imperial court.

Facing Chen Jiading's nonsense, Chen Yunfu just chuckled.

"It's comforting for you to have such a heart, but the imperial court is rich and well-armed, so what can you, a businessman, do to help?"

Chen Jiading immediately raised his head and said loudly: "I have a family property, and I would like to hand over all of it to the imperial court for military expenses!"

If the Arabs can support the army in exchange for India, so can the Chen family!
Chen Yunfu smiled, this smile could not be said to be a compliment or a mockery, but it made Chen Jiading sweat profusely.

"Gu is very happy that you have this kind of heart, but right now India is at war, and your Chen family is just a family of merchants. Even if you go, Gu Gu will not be able to help you."

Chen Jiading, who lowered his head, was a little impatient at the moment. How do you look at it? Doesn't Chen Yunfu intend to let them participate in India's affairs?
This is wrong with my own judgment.

Just as he was about to speak anxiously, Yan Zhenzhi who was sitting beside him had already spoken.

"Your Majesty, it's hard for President Chen to have a pure heart, and he wants to do his best for the court to popularize the saint's kingly way. According to my minister, just give him a chance."

Chen Yunfu wondered: "But there are still wars in India now, and I am afraid that the lives of the people will be killed."

"The imperial court can send additional troops to protect it, and it is expected to be safe."

Chen Jiading knew that it was time for him to talk to him, so he hurriedly said: "I would like to contribute 3000 million taels of military expenses!"

This is indeed not a small sum.

Chen Yunfu couldn't help admiring in his heart.

Courageous, knowledgeable and courageous.

After admiring, Chen Yunfu finally nodded.

"Okay, since that's the case, if Gu refuses again, it will hurt the sincerity of the soldiers and the people, Jiading."

"The minister is here."

"Whenever your Chen family plans to send people to India, just tell Gu first, and Gu will immediately send additional troops to escort you."

Chen Jiading wanted to say that the sooner the better, but he was also afraid that his appearance would be too ugly to make people laugh, anyway, the matter was finalized, and a cooked duck could not fly, so he happily agreed.

"That's all for today, Zhen Zhi, you stay here for a while."

The Chen family father and son knew that Chen Yunfu must be looking for Yan Zhenzhi to discuss their Chen family affairs, so they hurriedly got up and left.

They guessed right.

"Zhen Zhi, you said Gu did this, is it right or wrong?"

Chen Yunfu sighed, and said: "Let private capital get involved in India, and they will develop more rapidly through sucking blood. In another ten or twenty years, this Chen family will definitely be rich like an enemy."

Yan Zhen smiled straight: "This may not necessarily be a bad thing."

"How to say?"

"India is very big. It is impossible to completely digest it within ten or twenty years only by the imperial court. But if businessmen from all over the country swarm in, it will not be difficult. This is also your original intention, Majesty, otherwise, How could you allow the Chen family to intervene?

Your Majesty once said that what we are doing now may be corrected in the future, but as long as it is right now, we should do it. Our goal is very simple, that is, to make the country and the people rich as soon as possible. "

Chen Yunfu was silent for a while, looked towards the sky outside the hall and said, "Kegu can already see 30 or 50 years later."

"Capital is rampant and people's hearts are lost. At that time, Gu will become a sinner of the country and history."

Yan Zhenzhi was a little disbelieving: "How could it be, Your Majesty is worrying too much."

"Gu won't be wrong, because Gu has experienced it once."

Chen Yunfu stood up and left the hall, but Yan Zhenzhi didn't hear what he said at the end.

Right or wrong is a matter for history and future generations to judge. It has little to do with the current Chen Yunfu, and it has little to do with the current Daming.

As for Song Sheng who is commanding the battle in India at the moment, it has nothing to do with it.

He led troops across the Narmada River, and the Eastern Route Army reached Calcutta all the way, completely dividing the whole of India into two.

The North Delhi Sultanate is in the north, in the middle is the area of ​​influence of Daming and Pushun, and to the south is the Sultanate established by several small Turkic people such as Bahmani.

The entire South Indian continent was thus divided into multiple parts.

And Song Sheng also launched a large-scale Northern Expedition after training Pushun's slave army into an army. Because the time of the battle was after the beginning of spring, it was also copied in the military newspaper sent back to the country and handed over to the general staff. Call it the 'spring offensive. '

The army walked northward from Bhopal, successively conquering seventeen cities including Allahabad, Kanpur, and Agra, completely cutting off the connection between the North Delhi Sultanate and the southeastern states, and captured [-] cities in the west. After Gijrat, he formed a pincer offensive that outflanked Delhi.

The Delhi Sultanate garrisoned 15 troops in Sigir and Mathura in an attempt to delay Song Sheng's offensive, and began to send people to the Timur Khanate behind them for help.

Don't look at the Delhi Sultanate that was hammered by the lame wolf like a dead dog and almost perished, but when something happened, the Delhi Sultanate still had to find their big brother.

After all, the religious beliefs of their two countries are the same.

And after more than four months of continuous fighting and conquering Seventeen Cities, Song Sheng also had to repair first.

Daming's Erlang fought tenaciously, mainly because the slave army at Pushun had begun to complain.

Instead of using the slave army, Song Sheng was not willing to use his son Lang to die in vain, so the battle was put on hold.

"Shuai Song, the battle cannot be delayed for long."

Lieutenant General Duan Jie became anxious on Song Sheng's behalf: "If this delay continues, once the enemy waits for foreign aid, our army will be plunged into a bitter battle. At that time, even if the group of cannon fodder stands in front and the war drags on for a long time, our The army will also suffer heavy casualties. If it is not as good, let's fight by ourselves.

The fighting power of the enemy army is no more than that, don't look at the 15 army, give the general a month, and the general will be able to conquer two cities. "

Song Sheng sighed.

"The reason you said, I don't know the commander. The reason for stopping the attack is not the commander's intention. This is the military order issued by the general staff last month. It arrived yesterday. You can see for yourself."

Hearing that it was the order of the General Staff, Duan Jie quickly took it over to check it, and he was shocked when he saw it.

I saw that the military order clearly stated that no matter what the situation encountered, the attack would be stopped from the day the order was received, waiting for the next order, and Chen Yunfu's seal was stamped on the place where the order was signed.

This time Haoxuan didn't kill Duan Jie on the spot.

"What does this mean? What does it mean to stop attacking no matter what the situation is? The enemy has begun to seek reinforcements. At this time, let us stop attacking. Are we waiting to be wiped out by enemy reinforcements?"

Song Sheng also didn't understand. After all, Chen Yunfu had never done this kind of military order to interfere with military aircraft thousands of miles away, but now Chen Yunfu did it at birth.

Looking in the direction of Nanjing, Song Sheng frowned and sighed.

King Yu, King Yu, what exactly is your plan.
