my days with tyrants

Chapter 69 This Is Politics
It was Yang Wen who came.

Originally in history, after Zhu Yuanzhang killed the Lanyu gang, he was the leading general in the Ming army.

But it's pretty common now.

"So now you are following the order of Zhu Shou, the chief marine soldier, to lead this navy to open up this new shipping route, and meet me by the way, and then take me back to the capital?"

Yang Feng said.

Originally, at this time in history, Zhu Shou had been killed because of the Lanyu case.

However, the Sapphire case did not happen this time, so Zhu Shou was not implicated, and he has always been the commander of the Ming army's navy to the north, so Yang Wen, who had become the new shipping commander in history, could only Be a second-in-command.And this deputy led the fleet of fifty warships, sailed directly from the mouth of the Yangtze River to North Korea, and then went all the way north along the east coast of North Korea.

The target is Xiguan City.

Before Yang Feng and Zhang Fu set off, Zhu Di had already reported to Zhu Yuanzhang in an expedited manner.

Of course Zhu Yuanzhang likes this kind of good thing about picking up cheap.

The bad guy Yang Feng does it, and he picks up the good things!
So he directly ordered Zhu Shou to send troops to Yang Wen to come here.

From Xiguan City, the Songhua River Basin can be supplied.

The grain was transported by sea, then transported to the upper reaches of the Mudanjiang River, and loaded on the ship all the way down. As for whether Yang Feng can take Xiguan City, His Majesty the Emperor still has great confidence in him.

"But I haven't played enough yet!"

Yang Feng said.

"Ambassador, this is His Majesty's decree."

Yang Wen said.

During the speech, he actually held out the imperial decree.

"His decree is for his subjects, and I am not his subject."

"Ambassador, I think you should take a look."

"Look, just look!"

Yang Feng picked up the imperial edict and opened it, and then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict written in pure vernacular...

"But speaking of it, I really want to see how my embassy is doing."

He then closed the imperial decree and said with satisfaction.

Zhu Yuanzhang established the Huiningdu Commanding Division, not the Nuer Gandu Commanding Division, but the Huiningdu Commanding Division named after the Huining Mansion in Beijing when the Kingdom of Jin originally went to Beijing. The station is Huiningwei, but a new city needs to be built, and the location is roughly It is in Harbin, and Zhu Di should be repairing it now.The new commander of Huining is Zhuang De, and then the commander of the capital has several guards under him, but he doesn't know the result of Yang Feng's march into the Huli River, so there are only a few in the upper reaches of the Songhua River.As for the imperial decree to Yang Feng, he was allowed to freely reclaim wasteland and establish commercial settlements within the jurisdiction of the Huining capital.

This is the standard practice of the Shangtun in the Weisuo area on the frontier of the Ming Dynasty.

There's no one there anyway.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a clear authorization, leaving him to figure out a way.

If he reclaimed wasteland, Zhu Yuanzhang picked up a grain-producing area for nothing.

Failure to cultivate wasteland is also a loss for oneself.

"But why is he in such a hurry to call me back?"

Yang Feng said.

"Well, I only know that I have ordered the ambassador to return to the capital."

Yang Wen said with a smile.

Yang Feng then put his arms around his shoulders...

"As for Yang Qian, we have the same surname. I think it's fine for brothers to be compatible. It must be necessary for your emperor to ask me to go back. If I didn't know what he wanted in advance and didn't have the slightest preparation, wouldn't I be caught off guard when I went back?"

"I really don't know why.

However, His Majesty recently opened a bank in the capital, saying that money can be deposited in it, and interest can be added when it is withdrawn later. "

"Ah, then the door is empty?"

"Can't say that either."

"Then nobody cares?"

"Well, there are still a few people who have saved money, so it can't be said that there are none."

"But those who save money are actually entrusted by our emperor, and they are still the kind of entrusted people who have poor acting skills, but anyone with a little brain can see it?"

"Uh!"

Yang Wen was speechless.

This is understandable.

So after Zhu Yuanzhang heard him talk about the modern financial industry, he was full of ambition and decided to start it himself while he was away. Isn’t it just a bank? It’s not that the Song Dynasty didn’t do it back then. Although the name is different, the essence is the same.There is no need to ask Yang Feng, how could Emperor Ming listen to him in everything, and then he was severely educated by reality, and he can't force this kind of thing, he can't kill people because no one saves money, right?

However, this kind of thing is really difficult to solve. The root cause is that the imperial power's reputation value is low.

Imperial power has no credibility.

Because imperial power is power.

To put it simply, it is impossible for him to renege on his debts and no one would dare to ask him for it.

The more such people open a bank, the less people there will be.

Banks are a business, and business requires reputation. Reputation must first be established on the basis of equality. Who dares to do business with a person who is so strong that he can kill him? He is afraid that he will be swallowed up one day, and there will be nowhere to cry?
Especially an emperor like him.

He can be the arbiter and guarantor, but he cannot end the game himself.

In this case……

Great Xia country investment?
Daming Branch of Daxia National Bank?
"Your Excellency is so cruel, do you regard me as a slave?"

Suddenly, an angry roar interrupted Yang Feng's thoughts.

Ambassador Yang turned his head in astonishment, and looked at a man in North Korean official uniform, who was coming with an angry face and several subordinates. Behind them were those happy Udiha, who were pressing The captured North Korean soldiers were bleeding one by one there, because Yang Feng had already said that he wanted to avenge Brother Mu Dong, so these guys stopped pretending.

It's a wild beast, why pretend to be someone!
"This is?"

Yang Feng looked at Yang Wen suspiciously.

This was from a warship of the Ming army, but since Yang Wen went to North Korea, it is not surprising that there are North Korean officials.

"This is the envoy of North Korea, ordered by Quan to know the affairs of North Korea, boarded the ship in Yongxing, and came with me to negotiate.

Ambassador don't look at me like that.

The Jurchens of Korea are all vassals of the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty has previously ordered that if the Jurchens have a dispute with North Korea, they should try their best to mediate to prevent them from fighting. If the North Korean envoys want to go with them, of course I can't refuse.But ambassador, you can rest assured that no matter what the cause of the dispute between Jurchen and North Korea is, His Majesty will deal with it impartially, and both parties should obey His Majesty's ruling.

irresistible purpose. "

Yang Wen said.

So Li Chenggui is very smart and knows who to turn to to make decisions for him.

"Ha, he's really good at being a man!"

Yang Feng said.

Indeed, Zhu Yuanzhang is old and cunning!
Now he became the adjudicator. In the final analysis, the place of Helandian was of no value to Zhu Yuanzhang, and it was also a place where Jurchen lived.And Li Chenggui's obedience to him made him very satisfied. North Korea will also be a very important support in the next battle against the Wa country. In this case, it is best to act as a savior.As far as North Korea is concerned, it was His Majesty the Ming Emperor who stopped the Jurchen from going south and saved them from a disaster.

The emperor's grace is mighty!
bad guy...

The villain is of course Yang Feng.

But he belongs to the Great Xia Kingdom and not the Great Ming Dynasty.

"No, how did he know that I would bring Jurchen southwards? It's only been less than two months since I captured Xiguan City.

What's more, he has to give you orders.

He was too late in such a short time, could it be that he didn't know the foresight? "

Yang Feng suddenly said suspiciously.

Yang Wen looked at the North Korean official who was ignored.

The latter was looking at Yang Feng with a livid face amidst the screams of the North Korean soldiers, as if looking at a demon.

Yang Wen pulled Yang Feng aside.

"The Shuangcheng Governor's Mansion, before the time of Goryeo, the imperial court had discussed with them the ownership. The original establishment of the Tieling Guard was actually because His Majesty learned that the southern border of the Shuangcheng Governor's Mansion was Tieling, so he wanted to continue to set it in Tieling according to Hu Yuan's time. It's just that your majesty didn't know where it was at first, thinking it was in the area of ​​the Yalu River, but later it was found out that this Tieling is actually in the hinterland of North Korea, only a hundred and fifty miles away from Pyongyang. Since then, His Majesty temporarily set up the Tieling Guard in Fengji Fort. This year, His Majesty has decreed to move the Tieling Guard to Kaiyuan Nangu Yinzhou, but he has actually given up pestering this side.

Of course, if you take these, you take them.

But there is no need to move forward, that would force Li Chenggui to work hard. He started from Xianxing, and after passing Jizhou, he went straight to his hometown. You can't even take away his hometown.

He was still obedient.

We will have to use him in the future.

As for why His Majesty knew that you would lead the Jurchen southward, His Majesty's sageness naturally knows everything.

But this place is like this, even if it hits Tieling, it will be cheap Jurchen in the end, His Majesty will not send troops here after all, North Korea has surrendered to Daming, so there is no need to force them. "

Yang Wen said.

So this is politics!
Lao Zhu stopped when enough was enough, and it can be said that he maximized his interests.

Yang Feng touched the beard stubble on his chin with emotion, and then he looked at the North Korean official...

"what is his name?"

He said.

"This is He Lun, Li Chenggui's minister. His official position is not low, similar to our chief envoy."

Yang Wen said.

Yang Feng immediately picked up the rifle, and then walked up to Helun, who was still glaring, Yang Feng straightly pulled the trigger on his chest, and Helun shook violently when the bullet hit, penetrating his body The bullet shot out from the back with blood.

He even knocked down the two men behind him.

Then a magazine emptied.

He Lun fell down with staring eyes.

"Go back and tell Li Chenggui that this guy was rude and was killed by me. Also, since the Emperor Daming has come forward, I'll give him face, but starting from Jingcheng, he won't even think about going north. In addition These Wudiha brothers came here with me, and they can’t come here in vain. Let him send a hundred catties of gold and 3000 taels of silver. .”

Yang Feng shouted.

Then he replaced a magazine, and then looked at the North Koreans who stood there...

"Aren't you going soon?"

he shouted.

Then shoot at their feet.

The bullets sent mud spattering under the North Koreans' feet.

They screamed in fright, one by one hurriedly turned around, crawling southward like crazy, running away from this demonic man.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Yang Feng laughed wildly from behind with a villainous air.
