Chapter 67: Yang Anguo
Without Steward Yang, an undercover agent in a high-level position, Chen Xian's grasp of the Yang family's movements became blurred.
But it doesn't matter, Chen Xian is confident, at this time, even if the Yang family and the Bai family come to attack, he is not without the strength to fight, if he adds the ability of five or six and a half sniper battlefield officers, he has little chance of losing.
What's more, he felt that the Yang Bai family should not have the courage to put the future and fate of the entire family on the line.
As for asking for external forces, Chen Xian felt that even if the two families invited foreign aid, their strength would not be much stronger than their own, otherwise there would be a danger of doves occupying the magpie's nest.
And once you ask for foreign aid, it must be two at the same time, otherwise the one that is not invited must be unable to sleep and eat.
At the same time, if foreign aid is brought in, they will also contain each other and guard against each other, and it will be difficult to concentrate forces.
What gave Chen Xian confidence, in addition to the analysis of the enemy, was also the musket, this weapon appeared on the battlefield for the first time, and his loud sound alone was enough for the enemy who saw him for the first time to drink a pot.
Chen Xian did not deliberately urge the intelligence team to inquire about the news, but immersed himself in the production of arquebuses and black powder, and at the same time, stepped up shooting training for the teenagers under his command.
……
In the spring of the seventh year of Taihe, the Northern Expedition of the Song Kingdom, the defeat was decided, and the careerists on the ground in Shandong shrank back one after another, and Yang Anguo, who started the fastest, hurriedly moved around, trying to mix up Zhao'an.
In the early summer, on the one hand, Yang Anguo's activities played a role, but more importantly, suffering from the two-sided threat of Mongolia in the north and the Song State in the south, the exhausted Jin court did not have the energy or willingness to fight to quell the rebellion, so Yang Anguo's Zhao'an wish was satisfied, and he was awarded the Laizhou Assassin and Defense Envoy, and mastered the military and political power of a state.
However, the coastal area of Laizhou belonged to the border land in this era, with few poor people and little oil and water.
Just when Yang Anguo was about to take some of his family generals to Laizhou to take office, he received a letter of help from Yang Yuanwai.
After receiving the documents from Zhao'an, Yang Anguo, who was avoiding trouble in Lushan, led the team down the mountain and returned to Yangjiazhuang.
Yangjiazhuang is located in the south of Yidu County, close to the border of Linqu County, Zhuangzi is located at the foot of Lu Mountain, north, east and south are plains on three sides, the west is a valley in Lu Mountain, a river with abundant water flows out of the valley, after circling Yangjiazhuang, it flows to the east, this river, the local people call it Yangjia River.
In addition to leading the Yangjia River to moat, the Yang family also built some water diversion projects on the river, which made one-third of the tens of thousands of acres of farmland around Yangjiazhuang watered, and these tens of thousands of acres of fertile land were basically all under the name of the Yang family.
The scale of Yangjiazhuang is slightly larger than that of Dongzhuangzi, but unlike the farmland in Dongzhuangzi, Yangjiazhuang has a series of houses and very little open space.
There is not only a moat outside Yangjiazhuang, but also the city wall is taller than the soil wall of Dongzhuangzi, and the earthen wall of more than two zhang is higher than many county seats.
In the center of Zhuangzi, the luxurious compound with white walls and ink tiles and an area of more than 20 acres is the Yang Mansion.
When he received Yang Yuanwai's letter, Yang Anguo was discussing with his subordinates in the main hall of the house. He didn't sit still, but paced around the hall with some irritation, listening to his men.
People who see Yang Anguo for the first time can't help but cheer for him, "What a man!" ”
This person is more than 1.9 meters tall, burly and well-proportioned, with strong and slender limbs, straight eyes and eyebrows, black and thick hair, and a face with the same black and thick beard, which makes this person look handsome in his mighty appearance, and heroic in his handsomeness, which is extremely eye-catching.
Yang Anguo is in a bad mood, this is obvious, and it is natural that this anticlimactic army is a big blow to Yang Anguo's self-confidence and prestige.
The meeting had been going on for a long time, and many people had not been sticky in the morning, and they were already thirsty and hungry, but no one dared to say anything, and they all coped with it carefully.
Just when everyone was restless, the door was pushed open and a man walked in.
Without permission, someone broke in, and Yang Anguo, who was already in a very bad mood, was suddenly furious, his eyebrows were upside down, and he looked towards the door with an extremely stern gaze.
The other people in the room who were involved in the meeting also looked at this person.
The person who walked into the door was a tall man, because the door was backlit, at first glance, people thought that it was a man who walked in, because this person was too tall and too tall, but when he looked closely, it turned out to be a woman.
This woman is at least 1.8 meters tall, tall and straight, walking with her head up and chest up, and there is no ordinary woman's female posture at all.
People who see this woman for the first time usually say, "It's a pity!" ”
This woman combs her double bun, wraps her red bun, has a goose egg face, picturesque eyebrows, and is extremely beautiful, although she lacks a woman's charm, but she is also a beauty, but she is too tall and tall, completely inconsistent with the aesthetic standards of women in this era, and her temperament is too strong, the sun is strong, it is difficult for men in this era to accept, and what is even more excessive is that this woman is wearing pants under the big red jacket, which looks nondescript.
She left the backlight of the door and walked into the house, and people saw that this woman was flushed, and her sideburns were damp.
Seeing that it was this woman, the other people in the meeting breathed a sigh of relief, as if they saw a savior.
When Yang Anguo saw this woman, the anger in his eyes suddenly dissipated, and he said helplessly: "Siniang, what are you doing?" ”
The woman named Siniang frowned, glanced at Yang Anguo reproachfully, and said, "It's noon, you haven't even eaten breakfast yet, I asked people to prepare refreshments, what's the matter, eat enough first." ”
Yang Anguo muttered dissatisfiedly: "Now there is still time to eat." ”
The woman didn't seem to hear Yang Anguo's complaints, and turned around and beckoned to a few people carrying food boxes outside the door.
The servants walked in, brought out simple porridge, rice, cakes, and dishes from the food box, and placed them on the table beside everyone.
The woman took a food box from a girl, came to Yang Anguo's side, and put the dishes that were slightly more hearty than others on the table.
Yang Anguo sighed and sat down a little helplessly.
Under the woman's gaze, Yang Anguo picked up a piece of Hu Biscuit and ate it quickly.
This woman is Yang Anguo's younger sister, and because she ranks fourth among the Yang family's brothers and sisters, she is called the fourth lady.
In this era, science was not yet popular, and the confinement of women was not as harsh and rigid as in the Ming and Qing dynasties, especially in the northern regions, under the influence of the Jurchens, women's freedom was even greater than in the Northern Song Dynasty.
In addition, the painful memory of the Song-Jin War has not completely disappeared, so in the northern region ruled by the Jin Dynasty, martial arts are extremely popular, and in some qualified families, it is not uncommon for women to practice martial arts.
Yang Anguo has two younger brothers, two younger sisters, and the five brothers and sisters have all practiced martial arts since childhood, and Yang Anguo himself is a famous master on Shandong East Road.
But the number one master of Yangjiazhuang is not Yang Anguo, but the four ladies in front of him.
