Yang Lin's various actions, of course, are not only for a good reputation, but also to win the hearts of the people, but more importantly, for his own status.

Last year, the volunteers marched all the way west to capture the CD, and in the end, they were promoted to the governor of Yunyang.

Now for the mourning of Emperor Longwu and the strengthening of the local squire's desire to win against the Tartars, the main reason is to seek the coveted position of governor of Sichuan for his own official position.

Just three days ago, news came from the direction of Chongqing that Wang Yingxiong, the governor of the four provinces, had already died of illness in the army.

At first, Wang Yingxiong was stationed in Zunyi, but Sun Kewang went deep behind after the defeat of Zeng Ying, and the army approached Zunyi, the Ming army was defeated, and Wang Yingxiong fled to Bijiewei under the cover of his close general Wang Xiang.

Seeing that the Ming army was defeated in successive battles, Yang Lin in northern Sichuan insisted on expelling the Liukou to withdraw the army, and the other Ming troops did not listen to the order at all, and Wang Yingxiong died of illness in the Bijie army under the grief.

After occupying Banzhou, Sun Kewang jumped out of the encirclement of the Ming army, just like after the Red Army escaped the encirclement of the Kuomintang army and entered northern Shaanxi, it was difficult to concentrate its strength in the short term.

Now that Wang Yingxiong, the governor of the four provinces, has died of illness, Fan Yixing, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, is particularly important.

Although his cronies Sichuan Patrol Ma Gan and Sichuan General Soldier Tu Long were killed one after another, and their elite had already collapsed, and now their strength was greatly weakened, Zhao Ronggui, who had just returned to Shun, was his cronies, and He Zhen, who conquered the city in Hanzhong, also served under his account.

After thinking about this, Yang Lin had an idea in his heart.

On this day, the commanders of the three armies met, and everyone discussed how to work together in the future to fight against the Manchu Tartars.

In terms of position, Yang Lin hangs the governor of Yunyang, above Yang Zhan and Zhao Ronggui, but the two have been famous for a long time, and they have no obvious subordinate relationship, so it is quite troublesome to talk about identity now.

Sichuan has a vast territory, regardless of area or population, a province is equivalent to the other two provinces, so there is a maxim that the world is chaotic Shu first, and the world has been ruled after Shu.

Although he has made outstanding achievements in the past few years, the strength of the volunteer army is far above that of the other armies, Yang Lin did not dare to be presumptuous in the past, but now he is more cautious.

The ancients paid attention to face, Yang Lin gave everyone face, and the three of them were quite embarrassed at first, although everyone did not say it explicitly, but they could see that Yang Zhan and Zhao Ronggui had a lot of unhappiness on their faces.

Yang Lin laughed and said, "Two old generals, Yang Lin is here to say goodbye to the two old generals."

At that time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered Sichuan, the eight generations of kings conferred the head, Ma Gan slaughtered the dragon and defeated again and again, if it were not for the old general Yang to come forward and join Ma Mingluan, Lin Shitai and others to block the Tartar iron horse, so that it could not enter the CD Plain, so I am afraid that the creatures of the CD Plain will be poisoned by the Tartars again.

The Tartars are really inhumane, and how many uninhabited villages have been created along the way is really appalling. ”

When Yang Zhan heard this, the stalemate face stretched slightly, and he didn't dare to say anything, if it wasn't for the news of the great victory of the volunteers in time, I am afraid that everyone would have already retreated to Jiading Mansion.

Everyone laughed loudly, which was regarded as soothing the embarrassment between each other.

On the occasion of dividing the priorities again, Yang Lin repeatedly claimed that although he was named the governor of Yunyang and had made minor contributions on the battlefield, if it were not for the strong support of Yang Zhan, Zhao Ronggui and others, it would be difficult to kill Luo Luohun, the prince of the Manchu Dynasty, and expel the Tartars from Sichuan.

How dare the two of them put on the posture of governor of Yunyang, I only hope that everyone can work together to achieve better results.

said a thousand ways and ten thousand, Yang Lin did not dare to sit on the throne, although the Ming family was weak, but the imperial court had its own discipline, Yang Zhan, Zhao Ronggui and others did not dare to make a second force to suppress the other party.

After some humility, although Yang Lin sat on the top, he only dared to sit on half of his buttocks, looking sincerely afraid.

Looking at Zhao Ronggui who was eager to try on the side, Yang Lin certainly understood what he wanted, compared to Yang Zhan, who was just in contact with each other, Zhao Ronggui could come with expectations this time.

Although his troops were strong and strong, the army was stationed in Long'an Province (equivalent to Pingwu County in the Ganzi and Guangyuan regions), and the place was barren, and it was impossible to support the 20,000 soldiers and horses under his account.

This time they rebelled against the Manchus, originally planning to occupy one or two rich prefectures and counties to solve the problem of supplying the army.

As soon as he sat down, Zhao Ronggui envied the well-equipped volunteers and envied everyone's military supplies.

Qian Bangxin, the inspector next to him, couldn't bear it, and he didn't know who leaked the news last night and said that the local tyrant invested in Yuan Tao and was still in the other party's army, Yuan Tao raped his sister-in-law, and after being a local tyrant, he even took killing as a child's play, which had a very bad impact on the local area.

Now that he had just sat down, Zhao Ronggui asked for money and food, thinking of the villagers crying, Qian Bangqi Huo Ran stood up and arched his hand: "My lord, by all means, not to mention that Zhao's army is lax, and there are many killings among the soldiers under his account. ”

Yang Lin Huoran stood up, glared at Zhao Ronggui and said, "General Zhao, it's easy to say, that thief Yuan Tao is in your army?" ”

Zhao Ronggui was shocked, looked at Yang Jingxin at the bottom, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, Yuan Tao is indeed in our army, but now that the enemy is present, Yuan Tao is also willing to change his evil and return to the right."

When I raised the army that day, the major general promised that he would not be guilty of the past. ”

When Yang Jingxin heard this, he felt that something was wrong, so he stepped forward and said: "Lord Governor, when I saw the thin face of my junior brother, I blamed the foolish brother for being confused that day, and I didn't get your personal promise, and promised General Zhao." ”

Yang Jingxin's statement was equivalent to Yang Zhan's statement, seeing that the situation was not right, Yang Zhan took Yang Lin's hand and said: "General Yang, forbear each other for the country, although Yuan Tao is full of evil and committed heinous crimes in northern Sichuan, but he still hopes that everyone will work together to resist the Qing Dynasty, and the general will forgive him this time." ”

Qian Bangxin looked at the young coach whose body was trembling, and secretly rejoiced, it seems that the bet is right, whether it is his intention to release the wind or not, it seems that he really intends to make a fuss about the Yuan Tao incident this time.

After thinking about it, Qian Bangqi stubbornly said: "General Yang's words are wrong, others are acceptable, this Yuan Tao raped his brother and sister-in-law in his early years, and he took pleasure in killing people on weekdays, how can this kind of person be trusted by others?"

Today, everyone is fighting hard to resist the Qing Dynasty and expel the Tartars from Sichuan, who knows if the other party is against the water on another day? ”

Zhao Ronggui was originally a Ming general, first took refuge in Daxi, then took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and now belongs to the Ming court, which is regarded as a slave of three families, and his face is quite ugly when he hears this.

The generals under his account were even more fried, and a general bowed down and said: "Yang Lin, as the saying goes, those who become big things are not informal, how can you catch Brother Yuan and not let go of this little thing?"

Tell me, what do you really want to do? ”

Everyone was shocked, and everyone held their breath to look at the young commander, although he often behaved politely and virtuously, but the rules were very strict, and few dared to really deviate from his will since the leadership of the army.

Yang Lin slowly stood up and pressed the general in front of him and said: "Old General Yang, Old General Zhao, and brothers, as the saying goes, I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a person in a troubled world, why is this so, just because there are too many demons like Yuan Tao in this troubled world?"

They have basically lost their humanity, they are extremely brutal to their opponents on the battlefield, and they are also fierce to the people around them after the war, and they may stab them in the back at any time. ”

Looking at Yang Zhan, Zhao Ronggui pleaded: "Brother Yang, the governor has too deep prejudices against Yuan Tao and Brother Yuan, no matter what, you have to say a fair word or two." ”

Yang Zhan stood up and looked at everyone, and said with a smile: "General Zhao, you have been confused by the Governor, and the Governor is actually for Brother Yuan's good."

Let's think about it, in the past, when he was a local tyrant, Brother Yuan did a lot of evil, and he was innocent of death. Now, even under the account of General Zhao, his soldiers are bullying the market and oppressing the local people, and they must ensure that one egg is supplied every day, which makes the people miserable.

Now that the people are living a hot life, even if the governor does not come forward to rectify the other party, I, Yang Zhan, will not be spared. ”

Yang Lin's mouth was half open, he couldn't imagine that his actions were so misunderstood, and he couldn't interject at all if he wanted to distinguish it.

When Zhao Ronggui heard this, the whole person relaxed, and he smiled and said: "General Yang explained it like this, and I understand it, but everyone knows that our army is stationed in Long'an Mansion, and most of them are barbarians, and the place is depressed, so in order not to let the brothers go hungry and sleepy, everyone has no choice." ”

Yang Lin stood up and said: "The soldiers and the people are one family, the soldiers and the people are one, like Zhang Xianzhong coerced the people, making the local miasma and the people miserable, what is the use of this?"

As the saying goes, you only have so much money and food income, what can you use to raise such a large number of soldiers and horses?

If the place is relatively prosperous and the people live a solid life, if the collusion between officials and businessmen can be reduced, and the people's property can be collected, one soldier can be raised for one hundred.

If the place is barren and the people are struggling to make a living, then there are about 200 people, or even more.

Thousands of prisoners were captured in each battle, and they were often grouped into the army according to the practice of the people, but I advocate that it is better to have a shortage than an abundance, except for a few elites to rush into the army, and the rest of the people are sent extra. ”

Yang Zhan frowned, and Zhao Ronggui looked quite dissatisfied: "Lord Governor, the old man is stationed in a barren mountainous area like Long'an Mansion, how many soldiers do you think you can raise?" ”

Next to him, Yin Chengqi replied on his behalf: "Didn't General Zhao hear clearly?" In a place like Long'an Mansion, there are only about 200 people raising one soldier. ”

Everyone was in an uproar, and the big man who had just spoken against him stood up again and said: "I, Wu Dading, can see that you Yang Lin actually don't have the capacity to tolerate people, at first he talked about Brother Yuan's old and broken things in the past, and now he says that there are too many of us."

It's really a strange thing, killing Tartars, actually thinking that there are too many of us? ”

Yang Lin stood up and arched his hand and said: "Brother Wu, there are not as many people who are suspected of killing Tartars, this crusade against Tartars, people from all over the world gathered, some worked tirelessly to transport food, and some were young and strong and even went into battle with bare arms, everyone's various feats are admirable."

Do everything according to your ability, the land under the rule can only support so many troops, if there are too many, the people will not be able to bear the pressure. ”

Wu Dading sneered repeatedly, thinking that Yang Lin had changed his methods to rectify everyone, coupled with Yuan Tao's relationship, he was even more reluctant to stay in northern Sichuan to fight against the Tartars.

In the end, it was Yang Zhan Laocheng who was serious and let Yuan Tao and Wu Dading lead the army into southern Sichuan, so as to cooperate with the official army to enter and suppress Yungui Liukou.

And Zhao Ronggui didn't want to send people under the fence, so he still led his troops to be stationed in Long'an Mansion.

Seeing such a result, although everyone thought that Yang Lin harbored evil intentions, Yang Lin still said to everyone categorically that if anyone was found to harm the people in the future, he would definitely not spare it.
