Nodding, Yang Zhao said: "The key is to raise the self-respect of the Kou and the backing of the court!" Ji Xin, do you know why good fighters have no outstanding achievements? ”

Xiao Ruxun nodded: "A good fighter can eliminate the mastermind before the war starts, so the war will naturally disappear invisibly, but if there is no war, there will be no war merits, and it is the so-called good fighters who have no outstanding merits." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Yang Zhao nodded: "Yes, that's the truth, and Li Chengliang knows the truth well, so although the credit of the original ten victories is true, but it is obviously an enemy army that can be solved in a big war, Li Chengliang just wants to use it ten times, so that the people will suffer nine more times, let the soldiers suffer nine more times, and let the country spend nine more times of money and food, in exchange for his ten times of success and the great merit of being the earl."

In the court, after Li Chengliang served as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, he paid special attention to making friends with the ministers of the court, as long as he valued and thought that he had the potential to enter the cabinet, he would send a large amount of silver and treasures, and sometimes he also sent beauties, especially when Zhang Juzhengquan poured six departments, he and Qi Jiguang competed to send things, this to send money, that to send treasures, and that to send women to send drugs that make up for a while, which led to a bad talk.

Until Qi Jiguang fell because of the fall of Zhang Juzheng, but Li Chengliang passed the test safely, do you know why? You must know that the emperor took the initiative to show favor to Li Chengliang, but Li Chengliang rejected the emperor's kindness, this matter is an open secret in the court, even so, Li Chengliang is as safe and sound, his son should be an official and an official, and he should be a general and a general, and his life has not changed at all, but his status is higher.

And this is also Li Chengliang's cleverness, he not only made friends with a person in power, but cast a net everywhere, and when he saw the possibility of entering the cabinet, he went to send money and things, and tried his best to tie up, so Zhang Juzheng has a relationship with Li Chengliang for several cabinet ministers, Li Chengliang's backers are one after another, and when the backers arrive, he does not fall, which is not a skill. ”

Xiao Ruxun understood in his heart, but he still asked: "However, this kind of opportunistic tricks in the camp are despised by upright men and gentlemen, so there are many people in the court who disdain Li Chengliang, and there are constantly people impeaching Li Chengliang, which makes Li Chengliang removed from the post of the chief soldier of Liaodong and imprisoned in this capital." ”

Yang Zhao nodded: "That's right, Li Chengliang succeeded in seeing people and being willing to spend money, and there are many of his relationships and connections in the court, but the bad things are also bad things in this place, how fierce is the battle within the court?" If you are a military general looking for a cabinet minister as a backer, it is equivalent to his power, and when he needs to fight against political enemies, can you not help? Is it enough to just pay for it? That's obviously impossible.

Therefore, Li Chengliang has also been involved in various political struggles and cannot get out, and after many years, he is exhausted and difficult to support, so he made a mistake, was defeated by political enemies, and took the position of the general army of Liaodong to retire in the capital.

However, even so, Ji Xin, he still has the political energy second to none among the generals, which is not even available in the five major mansions, the five major mansions can only be supported by the shadow of the ancestors, and Li Chengliang relies on himself, so this time you returned from a big victory, Li Chengliang was worried that you were arranged to be the chief soldier in Liaodong and damage his foundation, so he tried every means to get you to the south, and Vietnam is the better, so that you can't threaten his foundation in Liaodong.

But no matter what, the personal ability of the military general is also very important, you have a little special ability, others see that you are useful, you can't be allowed to be killed for no reason, Li Chengliang has first-class means and is rich, he will be cited by the court minister as the arm of the party struggle, so someone protects him, and you, because you got too much silver in the Japanese country, so it attracted the attention of the court ministers, they are not willing to let you do nothing, counting on you to go elsewhere to get more money for them to squander, so their appetite is not satisfiedand you will not be in danger. ”

Xiao Ruxun also figured out these things, but as an old fritter in the officialdom, Yang Zhao obviously understands the truth better, and this technique is also quite skillful, and such an old fritter can also lose power, which shows the intensity of the political struggle in the Ming Court.

However, Xiao Ruxun didn't care about this, because he didn't want to stay in the capital at all, and he wouldn't stay in the capital.

"Although Li Chengliang secretly made his son-in-law feel a little disdainful, the son-in-law had to say that the son-in-law still had to thank Li Chengliang, because the son-in-law did not plan to stay in the capital as an official at all, even if Li Chengliang did not do it, the son-in-law would apply for an external transfer and go to the frontier by himself."

Yang Zhao smiled slightly, and asked, "Virtuous son-in-law Zhi is not in Jingshi?" ”

"Yes, the ambition of the son-in-law is not in the Jingshi, it is better to say that the ambition of the son-in-law is in the south, in the Dongwu Kingdom, and it is the happiest thing for the son-in-law to be able to conquer the Dongwu Kingdom."

"This is a rare thing, everyone says that the Central Plains is good, the south of the Yangtze River is good, but the land of Lingnan has been a wild and uncivilized land since ancient times, and even now, there are many uncivilized places in the land of Lingnan, not to mention the small country of Dongwu, a wild and uncivilized land, where is the ambition of a man?"

Yang Zhao was curious about his ambition as a fast son-in-law.

"The more wild the place, the more wars can be raised, the more battles can be fought, and the more merit is easy to take, those stable and prosperous places are indeed comfortable days, what do you want, but the son-in-law thinks that this kind of thing can be enjoyed after Zhishi, and the son-in-law is only in his twenties, so early Zhishi, it is too simple.

And the son-in-law is very yearning for Zheng He's move to the West, and I really want to see what the situation of the Nanyang countries recorded by Zheng He is now, and the Hongmaoyi who invaded our dynasty during the Jiajing period are also from the Nanyang north, although they were repulsed for a while, but it is reported that they have been entrenched on the Nanyang Islands and have not left, so they may not come back like the Japanese Kou, the Hongmaoyi is well-armed and the firearms are elite, and the firearms of the Ming Dynasty are imitations of the Hongmaoyi, and the Hongmaoyi's firearms are now how sophisticated, the son-in-law does not know.

Therefore, the son-in-law hopes to take advantage of this opportunity to go south to the South Seas, and at the same time to conquer the Dongwu Kingdom, try to contact the Hongmaoyi in the land of the South Seas, if you can get the secret of the firearms and ships in their hands without war, then it is the best, if you need to fight to get it, the son-in-law also wants to fight with those Hongmaoyi to see how sophisticated their firearms are. ”

These words made Yang Zhao's brows furrow.

"Rim-haired? Fur machine man? This is a bit of a truth, when the Hongmaoyi raged in Guangdong, our army suffered some losses, or thanks to the imitation of firearms and ships to defeat the Hongmaoyi, but the loss is not small, now the Ming Dynasty used the bird gun is still captured from the Hongmaoyi to imitate, but I do not know whether those Hongmaoyi's firearms are more sophisticated, and once again better than the Ming, these Hongmaoyi do not say anything else, the art of Gewu is more powerful than the Ming, and it does have to be guarded again......
