Chapter 1613: Lin Haoran's Attempt

Lin Haoran sat upright on the chair, holding the fragrant tea cup in his hand and tasting a sip of tea, facing the change in Xu Jie's attitude, it seemed that he had already expected it.

He first pondered for a while, and then responded seriously: "Back to Yuanfu, the lower officials think that although the court situation must maintain stability, the court must also properly take into account the rewards and punishments for the soldiers!" Like this time, Qi Jiguang can not be rewarded, but Yu Dayou should be rewarded! ”

This......

Zhang Siwei watched Lin Haoran really directly put forward different opinions to the teacher Xu Jie, but he couldn't help swallowing and spitting, secretly observing Xu Jie's reaction.

Xu Jie didn't seem to feel anything wrong, pinched the lid of the tea and splashed the tea lightly, looked up at Lin Haoran and asked seriously, "I don't know how you think you should reward Yu Dayou?" ”

Lin Haoran held the teacup in his hand, and said his thoughts directly: "The lower officials think that the biggest reward for a general is not the golden silk and grace, but to entrust him with important tasks!" At present, since the generals in the south can calm the affairs, it proves that they are of great use, and the imperial court can try to transfer the generals from the south to the north, and transfer Yu Dayou, the general soldier of Guangdong, to the general army of Liaodong! ”

Zhang Siwei glanced at Lin Haoran dumbfounded, and then cautiously turned his head to look at Xu Jie.

In the military and political structure of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is a civilian official or a military general, it has always been the north and the south. The governors of Jiliao and Xuanda in the north were often able to return to the military department, but the governors of Liangguang could usually only be transferred or returned to Nanjing for retirement, with worlds of different treatment.

In the same way, if a military general is transferred from the Guangdong General Army to the Liaodong General Army, it is equivalent to the direct promotion of the Liangguang Governor to the Jiliao Governor, which is an unprecedented "promotion".

But now, Lin Haoran proposed that Yu Dayou, the general soldier of Guangdong, be transferred to the general army of Liaodong, which not only gave Yu Dayou an unconventional promotion, but also broke the tradition of "respecting the north and inferiority to the south".

Xu Jie glanced at Lin Haoran deeply, but said tentatively: "Liaodong and Guangdong are thousands of miles apart, and the Liaodong general army has just changed candidates, I'm afraid this transfer is not appropriate, right?" ”

"Xia Guan thinks that if he can find a useful Liaodong general army for the Ming Dynasty, even if this position is vacant for half a year, it will be worth it! Besides, we don't have to get rid of Liaodong General Tong Deng immediately! Lin Haoran put down the teacup gently, but insisted on his own opinion.

Xu Jie took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Yu Dayou should indeed be rewarded, but how to reuse it for him, this matter has to be seriously considered!" ”

Premium? Consider?

Zhang Siwei didn't dare to breathe, and looked at Xu Jie, looking at Xu Jie.

Lin Haoran did not make a fuss, nor did he have any abnormal behavior, Xu Jie actually changed his original attitude, and really agreed to reward Yu Dayou, and may even give Yu Dayou the position of Liaodong General Army.

As soon as he thought of this, he secretly turned his head to look at Lin Haoran, seriously suspecting that Lin Haoran had fed his teacher Xu Jie's ecstasy soup.

"This is just a rough opinion of the lower officials, as for how Yu Dayou arranges it, it is naturally up to Lord Yuanfu to decide!" Lin Haoran seemed to be in a very correct position, and bowed respectfully to Xu Jie.

Xu Jie pinched the lid of the tea and splashed the tea lightly, but nodded lightly with a smile, as if he admired Lin Haoran, and asked about Lin Haoran's recent situation with concern.

Lin Haoran replied fluently, but when he saw that the matter had been negotiated, he said goodbye and left with interest.

Zhang Siwei shouldn't have been here to listen, but just now Xu Jie asked him to make tea for Lin Haoran. Then, Xu Jie didn't drive him out, and it was not appropriate for him to interrupt the conversation between the two bigwigs.

It was precisely like this, but he heard all the conversations between the two in his ears, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed at the moment, that is, he wanted to say goodbye to Xu Jie.

Xu Jie watched Lin Haoran leave, but put the teacup in his hand on the table, raised his head and asked Zhang Siwei elegantly: "Ziwei, do you know what Lin Shilang wants?" ”

Although Zhang Siwei was branded with Yang Bo, he also hoped to be appreciated by his teacher Xu Jie, and even responded seriously: "Returning to the teacher, although Lin Shilang seems to be very polite, I am afraid that he still hopes that the imperial court will not only reward Yu Dayou, but also transfer Yu Dayou to the position of the chief soldier of Liaodong!" ”

"Huh...... He didn't just seek the position of the commander-in-chief of Liaodong for Yu Dayou, he wanted the imperial court to implement the transfer of southern generals to the north! Xu Jie snorted coldly and directly pointed out Lin Haoran's attempt.

The north is strong and the south is weak, this is a concept that has been formed in the early Ming Dynasty. Like Tong Deng, the general soldier of Liaodong recommended by Yang Bo, that tall and strong figure is placed there, even if Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang join forces, it is impossible to win Tong Deng.

On the contrary, Lin Haoran wanted to break this tradition, and on the grounds that these southern generals had successfully suppressed the Japanese, he actually wanted the southern generals to lead tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the north.

Although he always knew that this kid was determined to reform, he still couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he knew that he wanted to implement the "South-to-North Transfer".

But in mind, things don't seem to be completely chaotic. The northern generals are strong in physical fitness, but when it comes to the use of combat, I am afraid that they are really inferior to the southern generals, and if the southern generals are transferred to the north, they may really be able to achieve certain results.

Of course, this matter will definitely be strongly opposed by Yang Bo, who represents the interests of the northern faction, but it is impossible for Lin Haoran to get his wish.

When Zhang Siwei heard Xu Jie's nodding, his mouth opened in surprise, and then he said seriously: "Master, this is ...... I'm afraid that the soldiers from the north won't agree, right? ”

"Who will be appointed by the imperial court as the chief soldier, and when will this matter be decided by the soldiers of the border army?" Xu Jie's face was slightly gloomy, and he even looked a little dissatisfied.

The Ming Dynasty uses literature to control the military, if you really want to make trouble, it must be the officials of the northern department who are behind the scenes. It is completely conceivable that the wrestling between Lin Haoran and Yang Bo is probably focused on the dispute over the "transfer of the south to the north".

"The teacher has taught you a lesson!" Zhang Siwei looked at the teacher and was angry, and hurriedly confessed.

Xu Jie glanced at Zhang Siwei, who was sincerely frightened, and his heart suddenly moved slightly, and he ordered: "You go to the military department again!" ”

Zhang Siwei thought that the teacher would let him go to Yang Bo to come over to discuss, but he heard Xu Jiedao: "You ask Hu Shilang how the matter of preparing silver for Liangguang is discussed, let him give a reply as soon as possible."

Hu Shilang refers to Hu Song, the left squire of the military department, who is not only a fellow villager of his teacher Xu Jie, but also the same year of his in-law Yang Bo, which can be regarded as a natural bond between the two parties.

Zhang Siwei responded, although he didn't understand why the teacher was in such a hurry, but he still obediently ran to the military department.

It's just that Hu Song just took over yesterday to discuss and solve the matter of the Liangguang Reserve Silver, and now he has to discuss and find a solution in the ministry, but he couldn't come up with a plan so quickly, so he asked Zhang Siwei to go back and tell Xu Jie that he could give a plan the day after tomorrow.

Zhang Siwei did not have the ability to force Hu Song, and with this reply, he could be regarded as completing the task assigned by Xu Jie. Thinking that everyone had come to the Yamen of the Ministry of War, he immediately took the initiative to find Yang Bo, who was arranging troops in front of the sand table, and told him what had happened in the palace before.

Yang Bo's eyes were firmly fixed on the sand table, and after listening to Zhang Siwei's story, he raised his head in confusion and asked: "Elder Xu Ge originally asked Elder Yuan Ge to come forward to persuade Lin Haoran, but before waiting for the result from Yuan Wei's side, he chose to meet Lin Haoran in person and suddenly changed his mind?" ”

"Exactly!" Zhang Siwei nodded very honestly.

Yang Bo's brows furrowed slightly, and he held a stone in his hand and thought seriously: "This thing is too weird! Something must have happened during this period for Elder Xu Ge to change his original intention, and it is impossible for him to suddenly agree to reward Yu Dayou for no reason? ”

"I don't know what's going on! By the way, before entering the palace gate, Lin Haoran took the initiative to chat with me, and finally mentioned: I'm afraid that some people will say that the court is not as good as when Yan Song was in power, and even fifty taels were saved! Zhang Siwei thought seriously for a moment, and suddenly remembered something.
