Chapter 139: Cultivating Cronies

Poor and uncertain riverside bones, like a person in a spring boudoir dream.

There was a fierce battle on the shore of Taihu Lake all night, and the casualties on both sides were not light, and Fang Qifo finally took the lead in retreating.

The cold wind of the early morning blew an annoying mist, and Gao Zhi commanded the people to carry the corpses of their comrades.

These men who died in battle, there are several people in Bianliang who are looking forward to returning, Yang Lin is patrolling back and forth with his sword in his hand, and he is very uncomfortable in his heart.

Ci is not in charge of the soldiers, no one is born to feel so many corpses, Song Jiang next to him kept reporting the battle situation last night, Yang Lin waved his hand lightly, signaling him to stop.

"It's not a way to fight so hard, you have to think of an idea to minimize casualties, and it's best to have some strategy to break the enemy."

Song Jiang said disappreciably: "Shaozai, we were the victors last night, and the momentum of the thief army has been frustrated. There are no immortals in a war, and the best way to reduce the number of casualties is to put down the rebellion as soon as possible. ”

Yang Lin bowed his head and was silent, what Song Jiang said actually made a lot of sense, thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief, cheered up and said: "

"Last night, the flames were blazing, how could the surrounding counties not know, how many of them came to support?"

Speaking of this, Song Jiang gritted his teeth and said: "It is said that the soldiers of the Liangzhejiang Road are weak, and it is indeed worthy of its reputation, and the one who came to reinforce me last night was only one Haizhou Zhizhou Zhang Shuye, and none of the other states and counties were present." ”

Yang Lin was surprisingly not angry, and said with a smile: "This is also expected, Gongming, why should you be angry, this official's appeasement and control should play an effective role at this time." Uncle Zhang is not bad at night, this time he will be transferred out, and he will not have to participate in the next armor removal conference. ”

"Someone! Inform all the governors, defense envoys, and regimental training envoys of the Liangzhejiang Road to lead their troops to come to the division. ”

At noon, the local soldiers and horses who had already been ordered to rush to Suzhou heard Yang Lin's military order, and soon arrived.

They did see it last night, but their instinctive fear made them afraid to step forward, after all, Fang La had already killed a lot of officers and soldiers.

In the big tent, Yang Lin smiled and took these people into the tent one by one, and everyone saw that Shaozai was in a good mood, and thought that he was happy to win a battle, and secretly rejoiced that he could escape punishment now.

"Everyone's here?" Yang Lin asked with a kind face, looking like he was holding a banquet.

Seeing Song Jiang nodding slightly, Yang Lin suddenly changed his face, slapped the table and said angrily: "Last night, the fire was soaring, if you are not a blind man, who can't see it?" It's a pity that this official fought until dawn, and he didn't see the soldiers and horses of all the kings, who can tell me why? ”

These people had already thought of countermeasures on the road, although they were startled by the moody Yang Lin, but they immediately came to their senses, and the Changzhou defense envoy Lu Hede got up and said: "Back to Yang Shaozai, I will march day and night, but the night is helpless, our Changzhou soldiers have broken their legs, and they can't catch up at all." ”

The others also got up and complained that they either set off too late or were attacked by the enemy, and each had its own reasons anyway.

Yang Lin sneered and slapped the imperial sword on the table, scaring everyone into shutting up.

It was this sword that gave Yang Lin the right to kill officials, and Zhu Mian planted it like this.

Yang Lin saw that no one said any more, so he spoke: "Soldiers, the land of death and life, the way of survival, this time Fang La's anti-thief is not trivial, and they are all incompetent and mediocre to cultivate such a thief." Now, although he tried his best to quibble, he couldn't pretend to be wrong, but fortunately, His Majesty Shengming had long expected that Ding'er and other stupid talents would let this official take over the military and political power in wartime. ”

"Come on, take down all these people, escort them to Kaifeng Mansion, and hand them over to Xifu to be sent down."

In the more than a dozen states where the Liangzhejiang Road has not yet fallen, all the generals in charge of the van soldiers have all been disarmed and unarmed.

Yang Lin took out a list from his sleeve, straightened his waist and said loudly: "Now is a special period, and all localities must be replaced by these people for the time being." ”

Song Jiang took the paper and lifted the curtain, and there were already a large number of people waiting outside.

The generals of the forbidden army were still watching the excitement, craned their necks and looked out, all of them were the commanders of the Banzai battalion, Yu Hou and other middle-level officers.

Song Jiang read a name aloud, and one of them stepped out of the ranks, and then was temporarily promoted to a local defense envoy.

This is an open-minded placement of cronies, everyone present was dumbfounded, this is too much to use chicken feathers as an arrow.

After doing all this, Yang Lin nodded with satisfaction, and said pointedly: "This official has always been fair and just in doing things, you have to think about it carefully, what should be done and what should not be done." This time, the extermination of Fang La, the credit is not small, and when the time comes... The official is saying that when the time comes, the merit will be rewarded, and whose name will be written on the merit table and how it will be written, it will all depend on your performance. ”

Forbidden army generals, look at me, I look at you, it is their fate to follow the forbidden army family.

The civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty were the most impersonal, they looked down on martial artists in their bones, and they were more ruthless in guarding against generals than against foreign races.

Now this young ruler is already the first person under the prime minister among the civil officials, and he has promoted his cronies in a big way. Those people are a group of military warriors who are not as good as themselves.

After Yang Lin finished speaking, he walked out of the big tent, gave them plenty of time to think about it, and went out to explain to his henchmen in the Long Live Camp by the way.

These people were carefully selected from the salt dealers and Shandong strongmen, and they were only stronger than those waste snacks to lead the troops as a local defense.

Jiangnan is Fang La's old nest, and it is not his own foundation, and the chariot and horse travel intelligence network laid by Yang Tong has been entering the various trade routes of the gold every day, and Jiangnan cannot be avoided.

Taking advantage of the emperor's great decentralization of power this time, taking Jiangnan into his own hands is better than turning the clouds and rain in the court.

When Yang Lin was speaking outside the account, the pot had already exploded in the big tent, and a black-faced man looked left and right and said: "There are 600,000 people in the Beijing Forbidden Army, and there are several families waiting to take office at the head of the capital, when will it be our turn." Before leaving Beijing this time, Shaozai beheaded several second ancestors who accompanied the army, and even Cao Ning died, and we couldn't end up well after we went back. It's better to change the court as soon as possible, my old Chu is willing to defect to Shaozai's disciples, what do you think? ”

The Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army is monolithic, and the various families have long been carved up. I don't know how many powerful ministers tried to intervene, but they never succeeded.

Many people in the forbidden army are desperately loyal to their family masters, and their fathers are the generals of the family, and this Chu Wenzhao who spoke is an exception.

He is a descendant of the famous founding general Chu Zhaofu, but he is a deviant one, and he fell out with his family early, and the Chu family doesn't care about him.

A commander next to him, named Pan Ning, was a distant relative of the Pan family. When he came, he had already been told by the concubine Pan Yi that he must obey Yang Lin's words and don't cause trouble for his family. hurriedly said: "Chu Heizi is right, we are waiting for the military generals to decline, what good will happen if we offend the young ruler of the dynasty." It's better to fight with Shaozai, and you can seal your wife and son without relying on your ancestors. ”

Some people agree, some people oppose, not everyone trusts the young Yang Lin. There are too many short-lived ministers in the officialdom, and if he is planted, it will not block the future prospects.

As soon as Yang Lin left, the kid with the tall handle put away a grandson-like picture, and said with a grin: "What is there to hesitate about, Yang Shaozai is the most protective person I have ever met, if you don't follow him, I guarantee that you won't even be able to eat bird feather ashes." Lao Tzu is going to show his determination tonight, and there is a group to follow me, if you don't have it, don't blame this yamen for not mentioning you. ”

At this time, the discussion of the people in the tent was in full swing, and they didn't notice the small hole next to it, and someone was recording everything they heard.

That night, Yang Lin, the pacification envoy, transferred his subordinate generals, and many high-powered commanders were transferred to manage the head soldiers and logistics baggage.

On the contrary, it was Gao Shan, Chu Wenzhao, Pan Ning and others who were promoted several levels in succession, and went from being a commander to a commander of the military capital Yu Hou and a military commander.

In the logistics baggage battalion, several generals who had lost their position gathered together and poured bitter water: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that someone was sent to eavesdrop on this, what about this person?" ”

On the contrary, Gao Shan, patting his chest and saying to Chu and Pan: "How about it, I said it a long time ago, Yang Shaozai's protection of the short is immediate." ”

Everyone was convinced: "Ya Nei Gao Zhi! ”
