Soon Yang He went up the mountain, and there were many people in green shirts and scarves on the mountain, all of them with flying faces, even their faces were red from the sun. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There are also a few people wearing official uniforms, or seven-grade uniforms, or nine-grade uniforms, or eight-grade uniforms, which may be Suqian and nearby magistrates, chief secretaries and others.

There are also two officials dressed in five-grade official uniforms, Yang He estimates that they are the Tongzhi of Sutao River Affairs stationed in Suqian, and the Tongzhi of Quy Nhon Di River Affairs stationed in Suqian.

Huai'an Prefecture has many Tongzhi, reaching more than a dozen at the peak, and most of them are sent to the prefectures and counties under the prefecture to manage the river Tongzhi, just like Huang Sien, the river affairs Tongzhi in Zapi Prefecture.

In addition to these civilian officials, there were also two people dressed as military generals standing on the side, also looking at Yang He himself, who came up the mountain with curious eyes.

Yang He glanced at the two of them, and it was estimated that these two people were Dai Guozhu, the chief soldier of the Cao River Protection River stationed in Suqian, and he was a general of the ancient road.

When the governor came to Suqian, the local and nearby officials and generals were naturally busy gathering around, regardless of the scorching sun.

Finally, Yang He looked at a man surrounded by everyone, with a dark face and a short build, but he was strong and powerful. He was not wearing an official uniform, wearing a round-necked coat of Qingyun, wearing a big hat, his eyes were blazing, and he just looked at himself with a smile.

Stilwell stepped forward and whispered a few words, and the man nodded.

Yang He knew that this person was Shi Kefa, and he looked quite ordinary and close to the people.

Even his hat and clothes, there was some dust, as if he had been to the construction site.

He stepped forward to visit: "The new head of Pizhou Lian Yang He has seen Shi Duchen. ”

Shi Kefa said with a smile: "If it's not a court, you don't have to be polite, Yang Lian, always get up." ”

His official language is very standard, but it also has a little Kaifeng accent, he looked Yang He up and down, the man in front of him was very young, not yet twenty years old, but his demeanor had a deep and mature taste.

He has a handsome face, wears a soft hat, wears a green shirt, wears a cloak, and carries a horse chopping knife.

Shi Kefa's eyes showed a look of satisfaction, Yang He was very in line with the ideal appearance of a scholar in his mind, he could kill the enemy on the horse, govern the country on the horse, have both civil and military skills, be wise and brave, and follow the teachings of the six arts of the sage's gentleman.

Although the man in front of him is young, he has made a lot of contributions, defeating the thieves in the second wave and three times, successfully fighting in the field twice, and even killing He Yong, the nephew of the leather thief He Yilong, for the last time.

It's a pity that no matter how great the credit is, there is a definite number of promotions, and only the credit is saved as an important consideration for future promotion.

In particular, the man in front of him is an official with his talents, and the promotion channel is even narrower, and he can basically only rotate around the position of the township corps training.

At this time, the lifting of people is basically only in the miscellaneous officials, and the young man in front of him is not even a lifter, he is transferred to a certain place to serve as the chief secretary of the nine products, I am afraid that it will cause an uproar in the whole country.

However, out of appreciation for Yang He, his own merits are enough, and he can be regarded as promoting a little fellow, Shi Kefa still plans to recommend Yang He to practice for Huai'an Mansion in the future.

It's just that this is a general judgment grade treatment, and the official rank is a positive sixth grade, even if Shi Kefa is the governor, it is impossible to act rashly.

Although he is a local magistrate and has the power to recommend, the Ming Dynasty also has regulations, and the recommended person needs to be experienced and honest, and serve in a certain place for three to six years.

Shi Kefa estimated that if Yang He could hone his position as the general manager of Pizhou for a few years, it would be a matter of course at that time.

He thought in his heart, let Yang He get up, and ask him about the journey as usual, but it was hard to wait.

Yang He bowed down and said: "Thank you Shi Du for your inquiry, it's okay on the way to Xiaguan, but when you were about to reach the intersection of the road, you encountered bandits, but fortunately, the guards were effective and killed them back." ”

The face of an official next to him changed, and Shi Kefa sighed: "Bandits are everywhere, and the people don't even dare to travel, we are ashamed." ”

He remembered the news of the Di newspaper, on the fourth day of the first month of this month, the thieves and the Cao thieves began to encircle and open the seal for the third time, this time the momentum was even greater, known as one million people, I am afraid that Kaifeng City will be more auspicious.

And although he is a Daxing nationality, his hometown is a Kaifeng Xiangfu person, and the Kaifeng war is naturally concerned, but in addition to worrying and sighing, there seems to be no other way to think about it.

Later, like Gao Qifeng of Suining Zhi County, Shi Kefa also asked Yang He Ke to have a professional teacher's expression, Yang He replied, and said that the teacher was Ji Maoxun, the former Luyi Zhi County, and gave him the words to be cautious, which made Shi Kefa a little regretful.

In the end, Shi Kefa asked him about the battle against the thieves, and everyone next to him seemed to be equally interested in it.

Yang He said it, and also confessed the crime, took out the horse chopping knife, and slashed on the ground a few times, so that the situation at that time was clear at a glance.

He said: "The terrain of this battle is very important, the first time the thieves came, the lower officials and others ambushed at Jingshan. Here is a mountain on one side, a swamp and a pond on the other, and the official road passes at the foot of Jing Mountain. Caught off guard, the thieves came into my hunt and were defeated. ”

He said: "In the second battle to defend the city, our division has a favorable terrain, so I won't talk about it. ”

He said: "The third battle against the thieves and thieves, the lower officials and others were fortified in Longtou Mountain, and the official road also passed at the foot of the mountain, and the Baitang River was not far ahead. If the thieves want to go north to attack Suining County, they will capture Longtou Mountain, our division has a high wall and a thick village, and the thieves cannot be defeated, and they have been attacked and killed repeatedly, and finally have no choice but to retreat. ”

Yang He told the story eloquently, and in a few words, he explained the battle clearly, and drew the map with a sagger, and everyone listened to it with great interest and a feeling of being there.

Even some young staff members on the side showed yearning, wishing that they were also present at that time, commanding the soldiers and horses to eliminate the thieves.

It was Dai Guozhu, the chief soldier of the Cao River Defense on the side, and the general Gu Daoxing looked at it, all showing admiration.

Both of them are veteran generals in the army, and they can fight or kill, but if you talk about such a plan, sometimes you can do it, but you definitely can't say it.

At this time, one person laughed and said: "I'm afraid that things are not as simple as Yang Lian said, although the strategy is good, but the thieves are not ordinary thieves, especially their old camp horse team is even more fierce." The officers and soldiers who are waiting now do not dare to fight with the thieves in the wilderness. ”

Yang He looked at it, but it was a person next to Shi Kefa, Dongpo scarf, big clothes belt, green shoes, big ears, long beard, especially longer ears, and very white, whiter than the face, impressive, about forty years old.

Looking at his ears, Yang He thought to himself: "This person is Yan Ermei, a man from Baiqi Mountain?" ”

Looking at the person next to Yan Ermei, with a scarf, plain shoes, a big belt, deep clothes, hands behind his back, his eyes were indifferent and thin, he just looked himself up and down, and thought: "This person should be Yao Kang." ”

He smiled and said: "This gentleman is right, the thieves are not easy to fight now, but they are not three-headed and six-armed, as long as the soldiers are loyal and dare to kill and fight, the thieves are not difficult to deal with." They are very stubble, and they don't have much courage to fight, as long as they suffer some injuries, they will run, especially their old battalion does not dare to fight to the death. ”

Yan Ermei laughed and disagreed, but the young man in front of him was hiding it, which made him very interested.

Shi Kefa looked at the line map drawn by the underground Yang River and pondered, he is not a person who has never led troops to fight, Chongzhen has guarded Chizhou for eight years, and Chongzhen has been governor of Anqing for ten years, and he has fought against the local bandits.

He had a feeling that although a lot of credit for the good news belonged to others, but he had won the battle against the thieves three times, and I was afraid that everything was done by the young man in front of him.

"There aren't many seeds like that." He thought to himself.

At the same time, he also agrees with what Yang He said, many times against the thieves and thieves, the officers and soldiers are not unable to fight, but do not want to fight, especially some veterans of the general army, and there are brave soldiers under their command who are reluctant to use them, and they just want to preserve their strength.

"The fewer people who know how to be loyal and righteous, the more they are bureaucrats and military leaders."

This is the feeling that Shi Kefa has been an official for many years, the whole officialdom is gloomy, stagnant, and civil officials are greedy for money and military generals are afraid of death.

Thinking of this, Shi Kefa whispered: "You don't see, the final army of the Han Dynasty, the weak crown is the captive, please be long." You don't see it, Ban Dingyuan is far away, and the peerless light cavalry urges the battle clouds. The boy should be in serious danger, how can he let the Confucian crown miss this life. The situation is that if the national prestige is tired, the feather competition will not stop......"

He groaned in a low voice, and the faces of the people next to him were different, basically all the officials were expressionless, only some young staff members on the side showed enthusiastic expressions.

Most of them are young and promising students, and they are under the command of Shi Kefa, but also for the ambition in their hearts, not to be promoted and make a fortune, so after Yang He's poem appeared, it was very popular among some young readers.

Of course, the old immortal officials are insensitive, and they spend their days fighting for power, making more money, and playing with two more skinny horses.

In the end, Shi Kefa looked at Yang He, and said with a straight face: "Be cautious, I hope you are as you say in your war poem: 'A man should be a serious danger', live up to the emperor's grace, and live up to the people of Li!" ”

Yang He Shili said: "Remember. ”

His eyes drooped slightly, although he had his own plan rhythm, but he still had some respect for Shi Kefa.

Fair and honest, almost selfish, and full of heart to serve the country.

It's a pity that there are flaws in character ability, no ability to improvise, and no ability to make decisive decisions on major events.

This may have something to do with his life, everything is too smooth, there are few setbacks, so when he encounters heavy pressure, he is confused.

Therefore, Yang He felt that it would be very good if Shi Kefa did not enter the decision-making level, but only acted as an executor, or a local governor and governor.

Misplaced, the tragedy of being pinned on too much hope.

……

Recently, President Yao Kang has been making a statement, allowing Shi Kefa to take advantage of the momentum of Yanghe's great victory again to set up the Pihai Lian General to manage the township soldiers in the six counties of Pizhou, Suining, Suqian, Haizhou, Ganyu, and Shuyang.

In this way, there are bandits who invade the boundaries of the six counties again, and they can be worry-free, and Yang He has won three great victories, and two times he still won in the wild, which also proves that he is a suitable candidate.

But Shi Kefa was always hesitating, although there was a holy decree to let all localities train the township soldiers earlier, but they only defended their own hometowns and did not transfer them to other places, one county was in charge of the township soldiers in one county, and one state was in charge of the township soldiers in one state, and they were not subordinate to each other.

That is to say, the general manager of the state training can't control the head of the county training, and the government training preparation can't control the head of the state training, and their superiors are their respective prefects, prefectures, and prefects.

There is no precedent for subordination to one person, and Shi Kefa is also worried that after doing this, it will be a blessing or a curse for Yang He.

It's not that there is no experience from the past, there is a champion Shen Kun in the year of Jiajing, a native of Huai'an, because of the invasion and looting of the Japanese invaders, the local officers and soldiers are useless, and they are angry and recruit thousands of township soldiers.

After training, it became a strong force, and it became an army at that time, more than a year before Qi Jiguang formed the Qi family's army.

Then thousands of Japanese invaders committed Huai'an again, Shen Kun led the township soldiers to meet the battle, won a complete victory, beheaded nearly a thousand, and concentrated the corpses of the Japanese to dig a pit and bury, built a high pier on it, called "burying the Japanese mountain".

As the champion, Shen Kun took the lead at that time, and shot a Japanese chief with an arrow, which can be called both civil and military, and his soldiers and horses are also called the champion soldiers by the people, and the enemy chieftain of Weizhen.

With the champion soldiers there, the Japanese did not dare to commit Huai'an again.

But it was such a person, but he was attacked by a group and impeached for "privately practicing village courage and plotting to betray the court", and was finally imprisoned and died in prison.

Shi Kefa worries that Yang He will also be the result in the future.

And it's okay only in this state and county, involving neighboring states and counties, this is a big involvement, such as he is the general manager of Pizhou Lian, and it is the governor of Pizhou who controls him, if he is the general manager of Pihai Lian, is the governor of Pizhou in charge of him, or is the governor of Haizhou in charge of him?

If a person is specially transferred over to control it, will the officials in Pihai agree or not?

After all, the preparation and training of village soldiers used their money and food from all over the country.

Shi Kefa was always hesitating, and he still hoped that all parties could be more appropriate.

However, letting Yang He restrain the township soldiers in Suining and Suqian counties is something that Shi Kefa is considering.

There is good news that Gao Qifeng, who knows Suining County, is willing to return the township soldiers of Suining County to the new Pizhou Lian General Yang He to control it.

At the same time, he also wanted to see the young man's quality to see if he could do it.

He said: "Although the Qingshan thieves were defeated, there were remnants of thieves fleeing everywhere, although they did not dare to infringe on Caoyun, they harassed Pizhou and even Haizhou from time to time. If you take up the post of state training general, how should you deal with these remnants of Qingshan? ”

Yang Hedao: "Back to the governor, in fact, the lower officials think that there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, and it is best to find their nest and exterminate them in one fell swoop." ”

He looked at everyone's faces, obviously embarrassed, after all, these Qingshan thieves were hiding in Yimeng Mountain, which was the territory of the governor of Shandong, and this coordination was not a simple matter.

Although he didn't bother to care about this at that time, he directly attacked the lair, but at this time, he still had to say: "If it is difficult to coordinate between the two places, then it can only be defended." Thieves take walking as their business, but Pizhou is densely covered with rivers and lakes, and even if the thieves come to commit crimes, there are not many places to go. It is only necessary to use some township soldiers as a surveillance, hold the key points, and then guard the whole team, seize the opportunity, and inflict heavy damage on the thieves. After a few times, the thieves will definitely not dare to offend my Pizhou again. ”

Shi Kefa nodded, this strategy was appropriate, and the advice of his staff was almost the same.

Of course, there is a premise for this suggestion, and the local villagers are more courageous.

He muttered: "If Suqian is here, how should you arrange it?" ”

Yang He said first: "Suqian Township Soldiers, are they under the direct command of the lower officials?" ”

Everyone next to him looked at him, especially the two officials, and his eyes immediately brightened.
