After two or three days, on this day, Longquan Post guarded the future report, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, Fan Yixing, the governor of Sichuan, Ma Gan, the deputy general Zeng Ying, Hou Tianxi, Tulong and others led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to pass the Longquan Station, and the army will soon come to the city of Chengdu.

Looking at the book, Yang Xuan handed it to Yang Zhan next to him and said: "My lord, I waited for several months of hard fighting, and finally captured Chengdu Mansion, and now that the governor has led his troops to come, are you ready to wave the army north, ********, and completely annihilate the remnants of Zhang Xianzhong?" ”
Yang Zhan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't see it really, now the Chengdu Plain is dilapidated, and it is difficult to use it as a base to crusade against the remnants of the Liukou.
In addition, the rear is unstable, and since the beginning of this year, it has been difficult for the Ming army in southern Sichuan to continue, mainly because Yunnan Yuanmou Tusi Wubikui and Mengzi Tusi Shadingzhou have been in chaos one after another, which not only cannot provide grain and grass for the army, but also cause hidden dangers to the rear of the southern Sichuan army."
When Yang Xuan heard this, although he was relieved in his heart, he was still worried, and he didn't know how to face Fan Yixuan, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi.
Since ancient times, there has been the idea of entering the customs first to be the king, and it was unthinkable that Fan Yixuan, Ma Gan and others would lead a large army to come this time and want to seize the Chengdu that had just been occupied, and seize the silver that was snatched back from the hands of the Liukou.
In order to control the floods in the Chengdu Plain, Yang Xuan had already participated in the politics of northern Sichuan, Liu Liangchang, and Wen Zirang, the general manager of the militia group, led soldiers and horses to Dujiangyan to control the floods.
The Loyal and Righteous Army was originally different from the ordinary official army, if it was stationed in the Chengdu Plain now, its strength would definitely be far above other generals in a few years, and even if it did not give itself the title of governor at that time, it would be a veritable real governor.
After sending Yang Zhan away, everyone gathered around and discussed: "My lord, it doesn't make sense, the rogues have been forced to retreat, and the governor is leading tens of thousands of troops to Chengdu City, what do you want to do?" ”
Someone commented: "Brothers, I probably want to get something for nothing." We have given 10 taels of silver to each of those who have returned with the chestnut trees, and they may have known the news, and are now ready to ask for silver. ”
But Yang Xuan thinks that it is likely to be to compete for territory, Chengdu Mansion is located in the middle of the Chengdu Plain, there are more than 20 counties, rich in products, fertile land, although it was destroyed by the Liukou, but as long as it is well managed, it will not take two years to become the richest place in Sichuan.
After thinking about this, Yang Xuan had an idea, Yang Xuan looked at Qian Bangxin opposite, and said with a smile: "Brothers, what are you arguing about, can many things be solved through quarrel?"
Governor Qian and Governor Fan were both from the shogunate of the governor's palace of the four provinces, and we have always been under the personal control of the governor of the four provinces, Wang Yingxiong, if it were not for the order of Wang Ge Lao himself, we would never accept such a chaotic death.
In addition, Ma Gan and Zeng Ying plundered the people in Chongqing, and Wang Ge had already written a letter to impeach him, and we would never hand over the dilapidated city of Chengdu to him for no reason."
When everyone heard this, they all shouted yes, and everyone seemed to have found an outlet, and one by one they urged the prison army Qian Bangxin to ask for an explanation.
The most obvious of these is the new Chengdu prefect Zhao Sixuan, Huayang prefect Zou Jianchen, if the loyal army withdraws from Chengdu, the real power of the two will inevitably be sharply reduced.
Qian Bangqi was unexpected, and bluntly said that as a member of the Loyal and Righteous Army, he would have to write to the court no matter what, and he could not let the Loyal and Righteous Army withdraw from Chengdu City.
Hearing what the other party said, everyone relaxed a little, and left one by one with their fists clenched.
At noon the next day, there was a neighing of horses in the east of the city, and a seven-foot man wearing a golden helmet and armor came to the city and shouted: "Listen to the city, I am Zeng Ying, the deputy general of the Ming Dynasty, and I led my troops into the city on the order of Ma Gan, the governor of Sichuan. ”
Yang Bingyi, the guard of the city gate, replied loudly: "Oh, General Zeng, under the order of Yang Xuanyang, the political envoy of Zuobu in Sichuan, and the general of northern Sichuan, the general can enter the city single-handedly to negotiate with our lords, if it is not for the orders of my lord, the last general will not dare to open the city gate." ”
Zeng Ying was furious, rode a war horse to the city gate and scolded: "It turned out to be Yang San, the second sentinel of Yao Huang's leader, I didn't expect that yesterday you were a thief, and today you actually became the capital of the loyal and righteous army."
You know the prestige of this general, and I will talk about it again, if you are stubborn and wait for Lao Tzu to enter the city, you will definitely pull the tendons of your turtle son and pull the skin of your turtle son. ”
Yang Bingyi was furious, ordered all the bird guns to be loaded with gunpowder, lit the fire rope, and pointed to Zeng Ying under the city: "Listen to the city, my family has an order, Zhang Xianzhong has just evacuated Chengdu, there are many thieves from all directions, if the one dares to approach the city gate, everyone will give Lao Tzu a gun to beat his turtle son." ”
Zeng Ying was worried about the merger of the two arms, so he panicked and left the city gate with a curse in his mouth.
After half an hour, Fang obtained a letter from Fan Yixuan, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and came back to the city wall, before entering the city.
At this time, he was discussing with Yang Zhan, Qian Bangqi and others in the lobby, and when he heard the dispute outside the east gate, Yang Xuan was quite annoyed and ordered Yang Bingyi to apologize to Zeng Ying, so as to resolve the embarrassment a little.
Fan Yixuan, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and Ma Gan, the governor of Sichuan, had to open the city gate and order a battalion of brothers to go out of the city gate to maintain order, and everyone welcomed them out of the city.
When the sun was in the west, there was a suona sound in front, and surrounded by hundreds of people, I saw two eight-person sedan chairs under the escort of soldiers to Chengdu City.
Knowing that it was the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, Fan Yixuan, who arrived, Yang Xuan had no choice but to follow Yang Zhan to the front of the sedan chair, hugged his fists and said: "Yang Xuan, the political envoy of Sichuan Zuobu and the general soldier of northern Sichuan, has seen the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and hopes that Lord Fan is in good health. ”
After the two official sedan chairs got off the sedan chairs, Fan Yixuan walked out of the sedan chair, looked at Yang Xuan who was bent over, and said, "You are Yang Xuan Yang Zixiu, the guest of honor of the Shu Palace?" ”
Yang Xuan felt strange that the other party was not qualified for an official position but said such an identity, but he still hugged his fists and said: "Yang Xuan, the political envoy of Sichuan Zuobu and the general soldier of northern Sichuan, visited the governor and welcomed the governor into Chengdu to preside over the overall situation. ”
Ma Qian also walked out of the sedan chair at this time, looked at Yang Xuan coldly, and said, "Oh, Yang Xuan, you are a deputy leader, you should still be able to know the minimum etiquette, why did you send someone to prevent Zeng Ying from entering Chengdu City." ”
Yang Xuan sighed and said: "Now that Zhang Xianzhong has just retreated, the Quartet is restless, and we have thwarted a small group of rogues in the first two days, in order to ensure the safety of the people, Xuan has to order all departments to strengthen their vigilance." ”
Fan Yixuan looked at the other party who was standing below and only bowed, and asked, "Lord Yang, you didn't lie to the old man, did you?" ”
Yang Xuan smiled, his face did not change, and his heart did not beat: "My lord is aware of it, if it is not for the ordinary bandits, since my loyal army can be driven away, there is no need to close the city gate at all.
Some generals openly encouraged the abduction of the people, for the sake of the township, for the sake of the people of Chengdu to do their humble duties, dare not guard against it. ”
Ma Gan's face was pale, and due to the lack of food in his subordinates, his subordinate generals often plundered the township, which was criticized by the local squires.
At the beginning of this year, Wang Yingxiong, the governor of the four provinces of Ba County (Chongqing attached to Guo), had written a letter of impeachment, although the imperial decree has not yet come down, but his ministry has been despised by the Sichuan people.
Ma Gan trembled with anger and said: "Yang Xuan, you are spewing blood, although the military discipline of our department is not the strictest among the various departments of the Sichuan Army, but to say that it is to rob the people, it is slander."
Yang Xuan, when the governor was in Chongqing, did he receive complaints from the people, saying that you are a squire of fish and meat, how can this be explained? ”
Yang Xuan laughed and said to everyone: "Governor Ma is really funny when he speaks, when Hai Rui was the governor of Yingtian, didn't he also be slandered by Dai Fengxiang in the matter of the official department as "sheltering the people, fish and meat squires, and selling his name and disorderly government"?
I, Yang Xuan, am not talented, I don't know which way to offend the immortals, he actually ran to Governor Ma and said that I am a fish squire?
Governor Fan, Governor Ma is here, and I will tell the truth, if I say that the fertile land in the jurisdiction of my Loyal and Righteous Army is 6 cents of silver per mu, 2 cents of silver per mu of dry land, and Ding Fu is 1 cent and 2 cents of silver is a squire of fish and meat, if so, of course I admit it.
If it is said that I deprive the scoundrels of the right to collect commercial taxes, and send inspection departments to various localities to organize and train militia groups and collect commercial taxes, if so, I will admit it.
Governor Fan, Lord Ma, if these are fish and meat squires, I, Yang Xuan, will not only do it myself, but also go to the emperor and ask the imperial court to promote it throughout the country.
Fan Yixuan smiled, patted Ma Gan's shoulder and said, "Governor Ma, the political envoys are young and promising, although their actions are unreasonable, we don't want to be like them." ”
Yang Xuan's face changed several times, but he finally couldn't hold back and didn't speak.
