Chapter 245: The generals of the alliance in Sichuan
I tiptoed back to the backyard, saw Huang Daiyun playing with my eldest son, and after seeing Yang Xuan come back, he was very attentive, and personally helped Yang Xuan take off his coat and put on a short hexagram, and said with a smile: "Xianggong, look at you, you are tired like a cow all day and night after the war, and after the garrison, you run to the township every now and then, I heard that there is a lot of wasteland in various places, is it true?" ”
Yang Xuan sighed and said: "Daiyun, I would really rather be a peaceful dog than a person in a troubled world, the rogues don't treat people as people, and the Tartars are not even as good as animals, so many people have been killed in just one month, there are really dead people in every family, and there are wails in every household."

I don't know how to feel very emotional, Huang Daiyun suddenly hugged Yang Xuan's back and said, "Xianggong, I know that you are bitter in your heart, you are tired." Now it's okay, after you led the troops to garrison, the places are much more stable, two days ago I also went out of the city with my sister in makeup, and saw the scene of soldiers participating in the farming, even if the spring harvest has just begun, the gruel that many people drink is not as good as our pigs and dogs.
Also, I saw that many people built a tent to live in, and listened to the old man's nagging, saying that the house had been burned down by the rogue Tartars, and now they only live in the shed. Alas, what a wicked man he is. ”
Yang Xuan turned around, patted Huang Daiyun on the shoulder and said, "Daiyun, the people are in hardship, and all industries are withering, it's really miserable."
As you know, the Tartars live in bitter cold and are afraid to fight in the scorching heat, so I had planned to lead my army north to fight the Tartars for Hanzhong after the Heroes Conference.
But now that the people are withering, if there is a war, there will not be so much food to eat.
Daiyun, do you want to lead the army north or continue to rest? ”
Huang Daiyun pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Xianggong, this is really very difficult."
The army needs grain and grass, and the price of food remains high in various places, which is really embarrassing.
Xianggong, I remember that after the news of your defeat of the Tartars came back that day, the city of Shunqing was full of jubilation.
When you led your troops to pursue the Tartars, many people volunteered to make coffins for the dead soldiers.
I went to see it with my sister, although these coffins were very rudimentary, basically a few large trees were cut open and nailed up, and more than a dozen counties and cities around were doing it.
I heard that in the end, the government subsidized the villagers according to 1 tael of silver for each coffin, but you don't know, there are many villagers who say that the soldiers of the loyal and righteous army killed the enemy and made meritorious contributions, so as not to let everyone be slaughtered by the Tartars, if you want this kind of money, you are really ashamed of the martyrs.
In this case, some people use this money to pay the Ding Fu, and some people who are slightly better off use this money to pay for the widows of the deceased soldiers.
Zixiu, no matter how hard and tired the people are, as long as you loyal and righteous soldiers help them get angry and help them take revenge, everyone has nothing to complain about. ”
Scenes floated in front of him, Yang Xuan couldn't help it, his eyes were full of tears.
On this day in May, Yang Xuan, the governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu, was in Chengdu to meet the generals, and everyone came to Chengdu in twos and threes with various moods, some were nervous and some were dissatisfied.
Yang Xuan first formally met with everyone at the governor's yamen, and when he saw Yuan Tao and Wu Dading of the Thirteen Shaking Yellow families, Yang Xuan smiled and said: "Two generals, we had a festival in the past, but I have always said that this is an internal contradiction of the nation, and now that the Tartars are invading, I hope we can work together to resist the Tartars."
Seeing that there was no intention to pursue it at all, Yuan Taowu Dading looked quite sincerely frightened, knelt down and nodded his head again and again.
To Zeng Ying's sons, Li Zhanchun and Yu Dachun, Yang Xuan said with sadness: "Two generals, there was an omission when I collected the remnants of the Liukou that day, and General Zeng Ying unfortunately died in battle, and I am responsible. ”
Li Zhanchun and ****** heard Yang Xuan say this, and said with a faint smile: "The Governor defeated Haoge's 100,000 army with a flick of his fingers, which is gratifying." ”
Yang Xuan was ashamed.
To Li Gande, the governor of northern Sichuan, Yang Xuan shook his head and said: "Governor Li, now that the Tatars are invading and the rogues are in chaos, it is the place to employ people, why should you worry about not having real power to stretch your ambitions?"
As long as you are down-to-earth, our Ming army always needs a governor to capture a province. As long as everyone can work together, everyone can pay homage to the prime minister at that time. ”
Li Gande shook his head again and again and said, "The adult is young, and his words are very good."
My lord, if you treat us as confidants, what will we say about you? ”
Yang Xuan laughed, and Zhao Ronggui, the commander next to him, came out and said: "Lord Li's words are also wrong, although it can't be absolutely fair, but the Lord still treats all deployments equally.
Take our department as an example, although there are nearly 10,000 people, but most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.
After defecting to the adults, the adults were assessed according to the standards, and although there were only more than 2,000 people left, they were all strong and well-equipped, which can be called elite.
The 5,000 people who were eliminated were not only exempted from the suffering of the military, but also received bereavement pensions.
For those who have made meritorious achievements in battle and are physically disabled, the adults will send people to train and then be assigned to the local government service, as long as everyone does not act as a traitor and obeys the law and discipline, so that they will probably have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
Those who are willing to return to their hometown to return to their roots, each person is fully issued 5 taels of silver severance pay, even if the expenses on the road are deducted, there is always a little silver taels to settle down.
For those who are helpless, they will lend grain and cattle to the people, and everyone is strong and strong, and many of them have climbed out of the private opposite, and everyone has the strength, as long as they have cultivated dozens of acres of fields, why not worry about living a well-off life?"
Everyone was quite surprised when they heard this, especially those generals, although everyone had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but many of them were taken captive, because of the large number of soldiers and horses, not only were they often underpaid, but their lives were extremely difficult, and many people in the army were looking forward to the time when the world would be peaceful and able to disarm and return to the fields.
If the soldiers below knew about the policy of the Loyal Army, most of them would probably want to go home.
Li Gande looked quite embarrassed, but his acquaintance did not lose the battle, and glared at Zhao Ronggui sarcastically: "Governor Yang Xuan Yang, you robbed Zhang Xianzhong's barracks and robbed Haoge's camp, who doesn't know that you have made a fortune."
Aren't you the governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu now, these are the righteous troops in Sichuan, when will you make up the military salary for everyone? ”
Yang Xuanhe smiled and said, "When the time comes, everyone can talk about it, as long as you listen to me, there is no problem." ”
Although Li Gande was dissatisfied, he still had to stand by the side.
The governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Fan Yixuan, arrived at the end, Yang Xuan smiled, went out of the door, and said with a smile: "Governor Fan came to Chengdu without hesitation, it is really Yang's sin, I hope we can work together to restore the Ming Dynasty."
Fan Yixuan said lightly: "Yang Xuan, oh, Governor Yang, you recruited us this time, won't it be just these two sentences, tell me, what do you want to do?" ”
Although he knew that the generals in Kawanaka were quite dissatisfied with him, it seemed that the strategy of dividing the troops was right, otherwise he didn't know what problems would have arisen.
Yang Xuan bowed his hand to everyone and said: "Generals, don't worry, don't worry, everyone, please go to Qingyang Palace with me, we will not be too late to discuss after paying homage to the martyrs, and it will not be too late to discuss matters." ”
