Chapter 136: Three Generals
Where is Li Rugui? Where is Ning Yuanbo now? Gao Bingxian shouldn't really want to kill Li Rugui, right? Can Ning Yuanbo save Li Rugui in time?
Kong Dongru pondered these things throughout the meeting, and he didn't listen to a few words of the meeting at all, and vaguely heard about the salt farms, fishing grounds, and what "vassals", "fish and rice" and the like, he was confused, and he didn't understand it.
Gao Pragmatic took advantage of the time of the meeting just now to understand a little more about the three commanders of Gaizhou, Haizhou, and Jinzhou through questions and answers.
Sure enough, the three commanders were all from Liaodong, but the circumstances of the three of them were different.
The commander of Gaizhou Wei, Jiang Enyuan, was originally a hereditary Gaizhou Wei hundred households, and more than ten years ago, before Li Chengliang came to power, he began to go out with the army, and he had already risen to a thousand households, and he added the command of Tongzhi.
In the first two years, there was a bandit situation in southern Liaoning, and he was transferred back by his predecessor Yuanma Siqing to suppress bandits, so he recommended him to be the commander of Gaizhou Guard. In other words, although this person is a guard commander, he can probably still fight some battles.
Haizhou Wei commander Pu Yuanyi is also a hereditary military attaché, and the background is relatively good, is a hereditary thousand households, Gao pragmatic from his answer to find that this person seems to have a bit of business acumen - he invested in a few inns in some key roads in Haizhou, not to mention, and even built two warehouses, not only for his own business in Liaoyang, Shenyang, but also to accept other merchants to store goods.
As for whether he has any other business, Gao Pragmatic is too lazy to ask, there must be some of them, such as treating the guards as serfs, which is everywhere in Liaodong, Gao Pragmatic doesn't believe that he Pu Yuanyi can be an exception.
Of course, when the water is clear, there are no fish, and Gao Shishi does not intend to correct this problem now.
As for Cao Jian, the commander of Jinzhou Wei, this person is even more different, he is the younger brother of Cao Yan, the former deputy chief soldier of Liaodong!
However, his identity used to be a good thing, but now it has become a bad thing, because last year, Cao Yan had an accident.
Cao Yan was originally the 30,000 guards of Kaiyuan, successively served as the garrison of Qinghe Fort, guerrilla, and the general of the East Road, and was promoted to the deputy general army stationed in Liaoyang in the fourth year of Wanli - the so-called deputy general army stationed in Liaoyang, in fact, is the deputy general army of Liaodong, and the word garrison here refers to the fact that the deputy general soldier and the general army are not stationed in the same area.
As mentioned before, the Liaodong General Army is stationed in Quang Ninh, which belongs to the area west of the Liao River; The deputy general army of Liaodong is stationed in Liaoyang, which belongs to the area east of the Liaohe River.
In most cases, or when the situation was under control, the deputy commander-in-chief stationed in Liaoyang was basically in charge of the defense of the area east of the Liaohe River. Unless there is a large-scale war in the area east of the Liaohe River, and the deputy commander-in-chief cannot handle it, the commander-in-chief will come over and take unified command.
In other words, after four years of Wanli, Cao Yan's military power in Liaodong was second only to that of Li Chengliang, the chief military officer.
But Cao Yan had a major incident in the ninth year of Wanli, and the antecedent of this incident occurred a little earlier in the eighth year of Wanli. In April of the eighth year of Wanli, the Mongolian left wing of the Black Carboniferous Department invaded Liaoyang, Cao Yan led the army to stubbornly resist, and the black army was defeated and retreated. Cao Yan took advantage of the victory to pursue, entered Chang'an Fort (now Liaoyangxi, Liaoning) and met an ambush, the Ming army was attacked on all sides, after a hard battle, only part of the personnel were able to break through, and the losses were quite large.
After Gao Shishi returned to Beijing, he read the archives of the Hanlin Academy, and its records are as follows:
Cao Yan, the deputy chief soldier of Liaoyang, led his troops to chase to the east of the fort, and was trapped in an ambush, killing and wounding Chen Peng, the general of Qian, and Cao Ruji, the general of the army, killing 317 officers and soldiers, shooting 464 horses, capturing 298 men and women, and hundreds of livestock and rice.
Yu Shi Yu Yingchang heard the impeachment: the widow plotted to mourn the teacher, and Zhang Qigong, the capital secretary, should wait and see, and the equipment such as Cui Ji was not strict, and the begging was punished. The Fuzhen official is known for his meritorious service, and he will be exempted from prosecution accordingly.
Order: Ge Cao Yan, Zhang Qigongren, and Cui Ji, etc., the next patrol asked questions according to the imperial history, and Zhou Yong and others were exempted.
Therefore, as a result of this incident, Cao Yan and Zhang Qigong, the governor of Liaodong, were dismissed from their posts, and together with Beiyu Cui Ji and others, they were taken down and punished by the imperial history, and Zhou Yong, the governor of Liaodong, who was supposed to bear the "leadership responsibility", was exempted from prosecution because of "meritorious service".
Cao Jian's identity as a commander was originally made to fight with his brother, and he was originally asked to be this commander, mainly because he mixed up his qualifications, and he could be recruited to fight when he needed to fight in the future.
Who knew that Cao Yan's plan had not yet come to fruition, and he himself was dismissed and questioned, leaving his younger brother Cao Jian alone to support himself in Jinzhou.
Anyway, he is also a commander, why is he "struggling to support"? Because Cao Yan has previously served as the deputy commander-in-chief, and his status in Liaodong is second only to Li Chengliang, then according to the "tradition" of Liaodong, of course, he also has a group of "entourage" who can fight well.
After the boss was imprisoned, according to the rules at this time, this group of "Cao Family Army" was raised by the entire Cao family, but in addition to Cao Yan, the head of the Cao family, only his younger brother Cao Jian was on the stage, so ...... Who does he not raise?
As for the dismissal of the subordinates, to be honest, no general's door will do this, because the family members who can fight are the foundation of the generals, and if the subordinates are dismissed, the Cao family will really be finished, and even Cao Yan has no hope of "coming out".
As long as these family members are still there, once something happens in Liaodong and the court needs to employ people, as long as the Cao family goes through the door of a certain civil official, plays a role for the court, and recommends the reactivation of Cao Yan, Cao Yan will have a great chance to make meritorious contributions and re-emerge from the mountain.
In this way, the family team that could only be supported by the deputy general soldier is now all on the shoulders of Cao Jian, a district guard commander, what is he not "struggling to support"?
Gao Pragmatic doesn't know what the relationship between Li Chengliang and Cao Yan is, but presumably as long as they don't have a good relationship like brothers, Li Chengliang at this moment will definitely not lend a helping hand to Cao Jian.
The reason is obvious, if Cao Jian can't afford to support these families, these people will disperse, but where can they go in Liaodong? Who can still rob him Li Chengliang?
Therefore, if Li Chengliang did not fall into the well, then he still had a little conscience.
Jiang Enyuan, who can fight, Pu Yuanyi, who has a bit of business acumen, and Cao Jian, who is so poor but has a group of powerful families, are the only three generals on hand in the next period of time.
As for the Fuzhou Wei commander, Li Rugui made the first start
It's not enough to kill him, after all, it's just that the meeting hasn't arrived, and it's not wartime now, and you can't really use wartime military orders to oppress people, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is inescapable, you kid even dare not come to the first summons of Lao Tzu's new official when he takes office, and if he doesn't beat your prestige, can Li Chengliang really cover the sky with one hand when he is in Liaodong?
