Chapter 504: Boiling the Pot

Chapter 504

Li Xin and Yang Shangjing entered the county office, Li Xin walked in front, and Yang Shangjing was half a step behind, which can be regarded as abiding by the dignity and humility of the upper and lower levels.

Li Xin saw these in his eyes, and his eyes slowly revealed a trace of appreciation, and at the same time he shook his head secretly, knowing the gains and losses of advancing and retreating, this is a qualification that cannot be lived in officialdom, thinking about the blockage he once filled in for the other party, he himself couldn't help but sigh secretly.

The two were supposed to be allies, but so far, at best, they have formed a loose community of interests.

So when he was walking, he deliberately slowed down by half a beat, directly parallel to Yang Shangjing, which can be regarded as a response to Yang Shangjing, lowering his posture.

As a result, Yang Shangjing's eyebrows were slightly raised, and the smile on his face became more and more sincere.

As long as Li Xin came over this time, he didn't rely on the official coercion to suppress people, or he wanted to directly ask for benefits in some things, instead of choosing to trade, in fact, everything was easy to talk about.

When passing by the front office, Yang Shangjing's footsteps paused, and then smiled and stretched out his hand to point to the corner door next to him: "Chief soldier, please come here." ”

Li Xin, who had already stopped, was stunned, turned his head to look at Yang Shangjing's expression and movements, and showed a meaningful expression on his face: "Virtuous nephew, please." ”

Where to talk about things, although it is not a big deal, it is also a signal, if Yang Shangjing takes Li Xin to the duty room to talk about things this time, although it is not rude, but at most it is a business, and the relationship between the two is a layer away.

But once the front duty room is changed to the study room in the back house, it becomes a reminiscence, and the relationship is close to a layer, and the choice is between Yang Shangjing's year, and according to it, it is a series of performances after Li Xinlai.

Although the two had a lot of grievances before, the officialdom talks about politics, politics, and interests, not any grievances and hatreds.

The two of them stepped into the study, and the guests and hosts sat down, and naturally there were people who brought tea, and this time they followed Li Xin to the south to suppress the bandits, one of them commanded the servants and two commanders, but under the light of Li Xin, these people did not have much sense of existence.

Without waiting for Yang Shangjing to speak, Li Xin spoke first, and it was straight to the point: "This official went south this time to take over the errand of the Marquis of Fengcheng, and the prime minister of southern Zhejiang, northern Fujian, and eastern Jiangxi suppressed bandits. ”

looked at Yang Shangjing's face and found that the latter's face was as usual, and Li Xin's face also showed a smile: "This official is preparing for Zhejiang, and the total matter is known, that is, before the new military training method of the virtuous nephew, the soldiers of the coastal guard post have sufficient food and equipment, and they have always thrown off the soldiers of the inland guard, but now with the training of the virtuous nephew, the combat power is even better than in the past. ”

Yang Shangjing raised his eyebrows, did not answer, slowly raised the tea cup on the table, pretended to drink tea, and looked at Li Xin opposite, wanting to wait for his further expression.

The soldiers trained by Yang Shangjing are not a bag of hookah, anyone who smokes them is smoked, it is an absolute elite, if it is stained with some more blood, I am afraid that it is an ordinary elite of the Beijing camp, and it is just meat on the board.

Therefore, the men and horses of these two thousand households, both in terms of combat effectiveness and position, are extremely important, and the command at the critical moment has become the key to the victory or defeat of a battle.

If these two thousand households do not send troops and go south by land to echo Li Xin's bandit warfare, then it is very likely that Li Xin's pocket will be left with a gap, and the success will fall short;

If these two thousand households were mobilized by Li Xin to go south at a critical time, and they didn't care about the things on the sea, let the Japanese invaders flee south, and directly left the jurisdiction of Zhejiang and threw them on the sea surface of Fujian, this Yang Shangjing's calculation would also end with regret.

Li Xin looked at Yang Shangjing's movements, and a smile appeared on his face: "However, this official went south this time to suppress bandits at the intersection of Zhejiang, Fujian, and Jiangxi provinces, and used the soldiers and horses of the three provinces. ”

Yang Shangjing's eyes narrowed, the combat effectiveness of these two thousand households is there, if it is used well, it can basically play the role of two guards, and under certain conditions, it will even be doubled or quadrupled, this Li Xin has been in Zhejiang for so long, and he has led a provincial army and horses, although he has been constrained by all parties, but is he deaf and not blind, how can he directly put down such a strong two thousand households?

Li Xin came over, he wanted to trade, only pay, not ask for anything in return, at this time, the saint did it, the saint, could not do such a thing as instigating a mutiny, so it can be concluded that this Li Xin cliff is not a saint, so he must be asking for something when he does this.

So Yang Shangjing smiled and put down the teacup in his hand: "Now the matter of suppressing the Japanese in northern Fujian is in full swing, and the saint is always angry for it, and the people and horses of these two thousand households trained by the lower officials, although they are not elite, but this combat power is still some, it is for the pleasure of the sacred heart, at this critical time, the general army wants to transfer troops to suppress bandits, and they can't abandon it." ”

After a pause, Yang Shangjing accentuated his tone: "Now the saint is concerned about the situation in northern Fujian, it can probably be said that he cares about everything, in addition to Wang Sima of the military department supervising the army here, he has also sent the imperial history Liunan to the south, and the governor of the three provinces of soldiers and horses, if the general army abandons the more than 2,000 people under the officials, I am afraid that it will be in the emperor's heart?" ”

In short, it's just a sentence, you don't believe in your nonsense, what conditions you want, it's better to say it directly.

Transactions, what you want is to have contacts and contacts, and you have no contacts, I am afraid that you will owe a lot of favors, and the most difficult thing in this world to repay is the debt of favors.

Li Xin laughed and waved his hand: "When coastal defense, the stakes are very high, the cunning of the Japanese robbers, the official is also very knowledgeable, Pumen and the strong man guard the thousands of households, guarding the southernmost part of Zhejiang, the location is important, the matter is very important, so the official is unwilling to transfer the slightest." ”

As soon as the words changed, this Li Xin could be regarded as a poor dagger: "This official came this time to borrow some instructors from his nephew to train the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, this person is ...... It is Li Baopuyu, who is now working as a deputy thousand households in Panshiwei. ”

Hearing this name, Yang Shangjing's brows were furrowed, and his right hand stretched out to the tea cup was a meal.
