Hearing Chen Dechang's question, Bai Renxuan was silent for a while, then slowly raised his head, then looked at Chen Dechang and said with a wry smile:
"Master Hou, I may have made a big mistake..."
Bai Renxuan's words immediately made Chen Dechang a little confused. He didn't know what Bai Renxuan was talking about.
Before Chen Dechang could react, Bai Renxuan continued:
"Compared to Ye Mingsheng, although Wang Muzhi has a strong personality, is somewhat arrogant, and is full of rough edges and rough edges in his behavior, Wang Muzhi is a clean and self-sufficient person, and he is definitely a gentleman in terms of character!"
"But Ye Mingsheng is different. According to my observation during this period, this person is thick-faced, cruel and ruthless. He will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. He is also cunning and cunning. If he is given a chance, he will definitely be a traitor who brings trouble to the party. If Let him gain power. I don’t know how many people will lose their lives and become homeless...”
"Although Wang Muzhi is difficult to deal with, compared with the traitor Ye Mingsheng, he is as innocent as a child!"
"Master Hou, you ask me why I want to target him?"
"I just want to make up for the mistakes I made. If I let this thief gain power, I will be infamy for thousands of years. It will be too late to regret..."
After hearing what Bai Renxuan said, Chen Dechang also fell into deep thought. After a long time, he said quietly: "Renxuan, have you heard about the rumor that Ye Mingsheng has an eagle eye and a wolf eye?"
"Yes!" Bai Renxuan replied without hesitation:
Upon hearing this, Chen Dechang immediately cursed unceremoniously:
"Absurd!" Others don't know Renxuan, but you don't know it either?
"The rumor that Ye Mingsheng has a hawk-watching-wolf attitude was spread by Song Wenhui in order to make our Zhenwu Army suspicious of each other and make me, Chen Dechang, destroy the Great Wall!"
"How could you, Renxuan, fall for such a clumsy counter-intentional plan? You disappoint me so much!"
When Bai Renxuan heard this, he quickly wanted to say something, but before he could speak, the angry Chen Dechang snorted and walked away, leaving Bai Renxuan where he was.
···················
···················
Ye Mingsheng, who didn't know what happened between Chen Dechang and Bai Renxuan, was in the study room of Ye Mansion, looking at Lin Huaiwu and Chen Chuanwu in front of him with a smile.
"Brothers did a great job today! It greatly enhanced our prestige!"
After hearing Ye Mingsheng's praise, Lin Huaiwu and Chen Chuanwu both looked happy and said humbly:
"The success of this battle is all due to your lord's strategic planning and the soldiers fought bravely. We dare not take the credit!"
Seeing the humble attitude of the two, Ye Mingsheng nodded with satisfaction, and then said leisurely:
"I accepted the draw, which cost you hundreds of taels of silver. You must have complained about me..."
Upon hearing what Ye Mingsheng said, the second general suddenly became frightened and said one after another:
"Sir, what are you talking about? With your prestige in the army, sir, let alone hundreds of taels of silver being short-changed, even if you don't divide it, who can't say no?"
"That's right! Brothers are following you wholeheartedly. Not to mention just a few hundred taels of silver, even if there is a gold mountain in front of you, we brothers will follow you to the end!"
Although he knew that these two people were patting his own horse, he had to say that these words sounded really comfortable. Ye Mingsheng smiled and shook his head. Then he took out two fifty-tael silver notes from the desk drawer and handed them over. He gave it to two people and said:
"This belongs to you two. Brothers, I have already sent the share to the Guangshengyuan ticket number. Together with this month's military pay, it will be distributed to everyone. You can receive the reward with your military card then!"
Lin Huaiwu and Chen Chuanwu were overjoyed when they saw this. They both bowed to Ye Mingsheng and said:
"Thank you for the reward, sir!"
After giving the reward, Ye Mingsheng also opened his mouth and taught:
"Of course I want to see everyone win a complete victory, but I still have to keep an eye on the overall situation. Mr. Chen is the commander after all, and we can't make it difficult for him..."
"This humble position understands your Lord's painstaking efforts!"
After giving a few more instructions to the two of them, Ye Mingsheng asked the two of them, who were grateful for their kindness, to go back and rest.
Picking up the approval slip with the big seal on the table, Ye Mingsheng had a faint smile on his face...
Although Chen Dechang promised the cart of fine wine and the reward of five hundred taels of silver at the martial arts arena today, in fact, it was him, Ye, who took the initiative to ask for it from his own pocket!
Of course it’s not without purpose for him to post so quickly!
If the information he received was correct, the Ministry of War approved Chen Dechang's 1,000 war horses, 300,000 shi of grain, 3,000 pairs of cotton armor, 100 squatting cannons, and a number of other ordnance supplies. ··········
As the saying goes, "Crying children have milk." After giving all his face and dignity to Chen Dechang, Ye Mingsheng also started to cry about poverty at the right time, talking about how he was suffering, and how he was going to Fengzhou to take precautions. The Khitan people, who are as wolf-like as tigers, can hardly call themselves Yang Bailao.
Chen Dechang, who was in a good mood, did not disappoint Ye Mingsheng. He immediately wrote this approval note to Ye Mingsheng, granting Ye Mingsheng 500 war horses, 100,000 stones of grain, 500 pairs of cotton armor, and thirty men squatting like a tiger. Cannons, bird guns, and hundreds of three-eyed guns!
Although no money was granted, the value of these ordnance supplies must be 80,000 taels, even if not 100,000 taels, which is enough for Ye Mingsheng to live a prosperous winter in Fengzhou!
Among them, these five hundred war horses made Ye Mingsheng the most happy!
In feudal society, in the era of cold weapons, the cavalry was the absolute king!
Especially in areas with many plains like Liaoyang, having a powerful cavalry force is the greatest capital for dominance!
Since he recruited Guo Zhiping and obtained the 300 cavalrymen under him, Ye Mingsheng not only asked Guo Zhiping to serve as a cavalry instructor to train his cavalry, but also raised war horses from various sources.
In areas like Liaoyang, which are close to the grassland nomads, horse resources are relatively abundant compared to the hinterland of the Central Plains. However, most of the horses in the racecourse are pack horses, used to pull carts and carry goods. There is no problem, but if it is used for marching and fighting, it is much worse...
Only a small number of horses with excellent breeds can become war horses for the cavalry!
The few horse farms in Liaoyang that could provide war horses were all firmly controlled by Song Wenhui. Therefore, although Ye Mingsheng worked hard and tried every means, he could only obtain a hundred horses.
Now the five hundred war horses approved by Chen Dechang undoubtedly make Ye Mingsheng very happy. With these horses, his thousand-man cavalry team can finally become a reality!
