Chapter Ninety-Three: Yang Yishi, the Loyal Body, and the Country
Hongdeokden.
"Are you not satisfied with the reward I gave you?"
Wanli said with a calm face.
"Your Majesty, of course the grass people are satisfied, a common man has been promoted to the fifth grade of the brocade clothes and thousands of households, not to mention the bullfighting costumes, this is a good thing for the glory of the ancestors!"
Yang Xin hurriedly said.
"I don't have time to listen to your nonsense!"
Wanli snorted coldly and said.
"Just say what you have, Long Live Lord is also quite surprised by you, who would have thought that you are still a fierce general like Guan Yunchang, so many veterans in Liaodong, hundreds of thousands of troops, is actually not as good as you as a common man. Originally, I thought that Liu Ling, as soon as Juniper died, this Liaodong didn't even have a real fight, but as soon as you went, you beheaded the old slave's son, and your Yang Dadao is much stronger than Liu Dadao. Long Live Lord is thinking about letting you serve the country well, first to be a thousand households, and then to be a general soldier, isn't this a disappointment for Long Live Lord? ”
Zheng Guifei said with a smile.
She is reminding Wanli that she should not forget that Yang Xin has just made meritorious service to him.
"Back to Your Majesty, back to the Queen's Mother, the grass people really don't dare to accept this order, the grass people don't know a few words, they can't be officials, they can't lead soldiers, they just charge into battle. The counterattack was also planned by Chen Yujie and Cao Wenzhao, and the elite soldiers mobilized by the old general Li Rubai, and the grass people just listened to them carry their knives to kill the enemy.
What's more important is Xiong Jingluo's support.
The grass people are like the grass people's knives, they are the ones who make the knives.
What's more, the grass people will only cut the slaves like the grass people's knife, and they won't think about anything else, as long as they can cut the slaves, as long as they can kill the enemy for the country, the grass people will not care about anything. Therefore, in Liaodong, I have also offended countless people, not to mention anything else, just the grass people in Shenyang to copy those big families to reward the soldiers, if it is not for the Xiong Jingluo maintenance, I am afraid that others will have to ask Shang Fang to cut the sword. There are also grass people in the Salhu Mountain set fire, although the Jiannu burned not an inch of grass, but also forced the Jiannu to jump over the wall, before the Jiannu attack Shenyang, some people say that the grass people killed his son incurred, this time if the Jiannu came out to attack again, I am afraid that some people will say that the grass people burned their house to incur. ”
Yang Xin said with an aggrieved face.
"They are all jealous and jealous, they spend millions of taels of silver in the imperial court every year, but they beat that Jiannu more and more, and now there is a person who really wants to kill Jiannu, but they don't like it!"
Concubine Zheng sneered.
"Don't interfere in the affairs of the government!"
Wanli said.
Concubine Zheng snorted dissatisfiedly.
"I understand what you mean, but I didn't let you go back to Liaodong, I just let you work as an errand in Jinyiwei first."
Wanli said.
Of course he understands this in his mind.
Yang Xin's merits slapped the face of the entire Liaodong Wenchen generals, it is difficult to be an official and a general, and others will unanimously deal with him, deliberately pit him on the battlefield is indispensable, even if he is not on the battlefield, there will be a bunch of people staring at him and framing him.
And he was really reckless.
Like copying the big families in Shenyang to reward the soldiers, this kind of thing is really too inappropriate, in fact, at this time, the impeachment of Xiong Tingbi for conniving at his misdeeds has been sent, but Wanli continues to stay in the middle. Of course, he understood that this was a good way to boost morale, and it was true that Yang Xin led the soldiers and civilians of Shenyang to repel the 100,000 army claimed by the wild boar skin. Kaiyuan was captured by the first battle of wild boar skin, and Tieling was also captured by him in the first battle, but he was beaten by Yang Xin in Shenyang and suffered heavy losses, and finally had to return with a feather, although he could fight by this guy, but the soldiers and civilians of Shenyang resisted desperately, which was also a very important factor.
Why did the soldiers and civilians in Shenyang resist desperately?
Isn't it that Yang Xin holds the silver daily settlement, takes the silver after the battle every day, and gets the thirty taels of rewards on the day of killing the enemy, who is not desperate? In the final analysis, Daming's affairs are very simple, if the silver is in place, then there is nothing that cannot be done.
But it's hateful!
That is, Xiong Tingbi protected him, and if someone else else really used Shang Fang's sword to cut him.
So Wanli let him enter the Jinyi Guard, not the army, to put it bluntly, he was to protect him first, and when there was erosion on the front line in the future, he had to let him be a firefighter.
"But what can the grass people do in Jinyiwei?
It is nothing more than a waste of the court's money and grain, a thousand households with five products, also get more than 200 stone rice every year, now the court wants to fight, to help the victims, more than 200 stone rice to the victims, can feed more than 100 mouths, waste on the grass people is better than to help the victims.
The grass people are not short of silver now.
The grass people have the military merits of cutting the slaves, this silver is what the grass people deserve, the grass people can take it, but the additional grass people think that they are ashamed of it, and the grass people are not officials and they can serve the country at any time, and in the future, the slaves dare to make trouble, as long as Your Majesty has a will, the grass people will just pick up the knife and go to Liaodong to take his head and dedicate it to Your Majesty.
As for being an official, the grass people really don't dare.
The grass people said that it is enough to be a common man for His Majesty and the Queen.
A bullfighting suit is enough!
However, if His Majesty insists on rewarding, the grass people have a few other requests. ”
Yang Xin said.
"Say!"
Wanli said with some emotion.
"The grass people went to Liaodong this time, and saw countless refugees displaced, and Xiong Jing was slightly short of money and food, so it was inevitable that some people would be negligent in relief. The grass people want to ask His Majesty to give the grass people a piece of wasteland, not the existing fertile land, that is, those wastelands that no one wants, such as the banks of the Haihe River in the east of Tianjin. Xiong Jingluo sent the refugees who could not be resettled in Liaodong, and the grass people took these refugees and organized them to reclaim the wasteland for farming or fishing. In this way, they also have a livelihood, not to mention that if there are slaves in the future, the grass people can also take them to resist if they dare to invade. ”
Yang Xin said.
"Quasi, the wasteland along the coast will be reclaimed with you, and all the land will be yours, and I will spare your land!"
Wanli said without hesitation.
What a good boy, this is really sincere for the country!
Originally, Xiong Tingbi played for him, and asked him to strengthen Tianjin, Shanhaiguan coastal defense, after all, wild boar skin also has the mouth of Zhenjiang to the sea, in case of collusion with pirates to attack Tianjin, it will be troublesome, now put Yang Xin there, it is estimated that he will not dare to attack and harass by borrowing wild boar skin.
"Your Majesty, Tian Fuchen must be paid, the grass people drank with Yongcheng County Ling Sun Chuanting before, and when it came to the court's money and grain, it was always overstretched, and at that time, the grass people once said that the reason why I am short of money in the Ming Dynasty is that there are too many people who do not pay taxes in this world. There are many rich people in the Ming Dynasty, and there are countless people with millions of people's wealth, and the annual income of the imperial court is not necessarily comparable to that of a rich merchant on the coast, but this does not pay taxes, and that does not pay taxes, and almost half of the taxes that should be paid in the whole world are not paid in various ways, and as a result, the imperial court does not even have enough money to raise soldiers. How can the grass people be such a person now, the fields are paid, the salaries are paid, and the grass people have a lot of money, and they all pay it! ”
Yang Xin said righteously.
Tian Fu, Liao salary is not worth mentioning!
In the Ming Dynasty, Tian Fu was pitifully low, the wasteland in Tianjin was called Ludi, one mu was handed over to Wuhe, and the stone bucket was promoted and combined, all of which were decimal system, and Wuhe was not enough for Yang Xin to eat, but the official master collected the fire and consumed a lot, but he said that he would pay Tian Fu and Liao, who dared to ask him for anything else?
"It seems that I don't have enough bullfighting clothes for you, so change him into a flying fish suit!"
Wanli said with a smile.
"Well, the grass people thank the lord Longen, but the grass people haven't finished speaking, before the grass people were in Liaodong, and Xiong Jing talked about the defense of Liaodong, the grass people thought that they had to rebuild Kaiyuan, Ye Hebu was loyal, if there was no Kaiyuan as a horn, sooner or later it would be destroyed by Jiannu. What's more, Ye Hebu only relies on Beiguan Ma City, if Kaiyuan is not rebuilt, then there is no Beiguan Ma City, even if Jin Taiji is loyal to His Majesty, how can Wuma City support its people?
However, Xiong Jingluo was lonely in the opening of the original and the principle of rebuilding the opening must rebuild all the previous cities, otherwise the military transportation could not be guaranteed, and the cost of rebuilding the cities was very large, and Liaodong's current military and financial resources could not do it.
Therefore, the grass people proposed to use the Liao River for water transportation.
But Xiong Jing was slightly afraid that the western captives would also plunder.
And the leaders of the fried flowers are all with the grass people to counterattack Kaitie, and his sons Oba Daiqing and Nanuk are all familiar with the grass people and know the methods of the grass people on the battlefield. The grass people wanted to set up a business by the grass people, responsible for the transportation of military supplies to Kaiyuan, and the grass people dared to loot halfway, so the grass people went directly to find the fried flowers, it is estimated that they would take care of the grass people, and the grass people could take the head of the Jiannu camp, and of course they could also go to the big tent of the fried flowers to get his head. After all, these wastelands in Tianjin and Haikou are barren, and it is not easy to feed them, so the freight paid by the imperial court is counted as their subsidy, and the Kaiyuan garrison and the Yehe Department are interdependent, and in the future, Jiannu dares to enter the Kou again, and the coalition army will immediately copy its lair. ”
Yang Xin said.
"Accurately, if the subjects of the Ming Dynasty are as loyal to the country as you, why can't the world be peaceful!"
Wanli said.
This is a good thing, if Yang Xin can deter fried flowers, then the Liaohe River transportation line is enough to ensure the supply of Kaiyuan, originally this line was the main supply line of Kaiyuan in the past, but later it was built outside the border wall of Liaodong, because of the Mongol attack and abandonment.
"The grass people just want everything to be innocent in the Ming Dynasty, those who are officials are like officials, those who lead soldiers to fight are like those who lead soldiers to fight, and the gentry are like gentry, not officials who only want to make money, those who lead soldiers to fight only want to escape, and the gentry only think about how to evade taxes. The grass people can't let others do anything, so they can only do what they should do well, maybe one day they can wake up, even if they can't make everyone wake up, there can be more for the sake of the country, so that Your Majesty can work less. ”
Yang Xin said with a look of concern for the country and the people.
"Innocent?"
Wanli showed a faint wry smile.
"You're not married yet, are you?"
Concubine Zheng hurriedly diverted the topic.
"Eh, Jiannu has not been destroyed, why do you want to be a family!"
Yang Xinyi said rhetorically.
"You should start a family or start a family, this palace will pay attention to you first, see if there is a daughter of a good family who is as compatible with you, and also, the eldest brother of the old Fang Pavilion has passed away, and you also have some contacts, I heard that your cousin also made him a closed disciple, don't forget to go and worship first."
Concubine Zheng said very meaningfully.
