After Shi Jinchen and Gou Weiyi subdued the law, Yang Lin initially thought that he would become a little better, but sometimes he felt so cold, and he didn't have the excitement he used to have.

As the saying goes, killing a thousand enemies will cost you eight hundred, Shi Jinchen and Gou Weiyi's collusion between officials and businessmen to take advantage of the people has long violated the Ming criminal law, and it is necessary to punish them.

But the wrong person did the right thing, and the two sides have been fighting continuously in the past few years, first being thrown into prison, and then dismissed.

Originally, everyone thought that the two sides would abandon their previous suspicions and go to the national disaster together, but in the past two months since the recovery of Shunqingfu City, the two sides have become more and more distant, so when Wang Yingxiong, the governor of the four provinces, sent his staff to inspect, Yang Lin suddenly attacked, threw out his ironclad evidence of corruption and bribery on the spot, and then brought it to justice with lightning speed.

Although the facts are clear that the other party deserves it, he is still frightened in the eyes of his colleagues around him, and many people are even talking behind their backs, saying that they are smiling on the surface, but they often make people bad in secret.

On the day of Gou Weiyi's death, Qian Bangqi kept sitting down, staring at each other motionlessly, as if complaining about using him as a gun.

Thinking of the social rumors, Yang Lin squeezed out a smile, shook his head and said, "Qian Yushi, you, why are you looking at me like this, is there a problem?" ”

Qian Bangxin shook his head and sighed: "My lord, you, you already know about Gou Weiyi's sale of illicit salt, and even more about the corruption and bribery of the former prefect Shi Jinchen?"

Everyone understands people, and there is no need to hide this kind of thing, Yang Lin nodded heavily, and sighed: "What's the matter, but the other party has been criticizing my governance, if there is no person like Qian Yushi to preside over the trial, some Xiaoxiao will slander me again, saying that I attack political enemies." ”

Qian Bangqian nodded, expressed his approval, and suddenly asked rhetorically: "My lord, although the results of the new deal are very different, there are many problems, and you can't avoid medical treatment." ”

After thinking about it, Yang Lin nodded and said: "There are places where the sun can't shine, let alone a new deal that has such a big impact."

Everyone says that there are three emperors and five emperors, and Confucius is a saint, but Taoists will also arrange scandals such as Confucius meeting Nanzi to hit the reputation of Confucius sage.

Anything, if we think it is right, if it is the general public who ultimately benefits, we should do it, although there are many flaws in it, but we still have to do it, and of course, in doing it, we want to minimize the harm. ”

Qian Bangqi nodded, squeezed out a smile, and replied: "My lord, Xia Guan is a scholar and a disciple of Confucius, no matter what the adults are happy about in the future, the shortcomings in the implementation of the new policy will be pointed out." ”

I was stunned in my heart, did the other party think that he was intolerant?

Apparently quite happy, Yang Lin nodded and said, "Qian Yushi, not only do I not object to this, but I also support the adult's approach."

You are older than me in terms of age, you are richer than me in terms of social experience, I hope that in the future we can be honest with each other, and I hope you can point out my shortcomings. ”

Qian Bangqi arched his hand, stood up and said, "My lord, then the lower official will ask you a question." Now that the war in eastern Sichuan is raging, Lord Xiaguan has gathered all the best generals of each battalion in Shunqing Mansion to open an officer training camp.

My lord, I'm afraid it's not quite right? ”

Yang Lin showed a smile and explained, "Qian Jianjun, it's true.

Although the volunteer army has developed quite rapidly in the past few years, generals at all levels not only have low cultural quality, but also have very poor tactical quality.

I Ming Dynasty initially implemented the guards, since the Jiajing Dynasty began to recruit troops, the recruitment and the guards are different, is the implementation of the elite strategy, but the quality of generals at all levels is uneven, so in the process of suppressing bandits, although there are brilliant examples in the battle against the northern Tartars, but failed to do the full work. ”

Qian Bangqi looked quite incomprehensible and said: "My lord, the quality of my Ming army is uneven, since the founding of Emperor Gao, does your lord want to solve this problem and establish an invincible hero?" ”

Yang Lin stood up and mentioned the Qi family army to Qian Bangxin, talked about its brilliant achievements, talked about the "Record of Military Training" military book, and talked about his plan to learn from Qi Jiguang's "Military Training Record", "New Book of Documentary Results" and the Mandarin Duck Formation, and conduct unified training in the aspects of loyalty to the monarch and love the people, formation, ordnance, tactics, etc., so as to improve the combat quality of middle and lower-level officers and defeat the enemy on the battlefield.

Qian Bangxin listened carefully, especially when he heard about the education of loyalty and love for the people, he was even more interested, and asked again and again.

Yang Lin answered one by one, looking at Qian Bangqi's appearance, Yang Lin suddenly smiled and said: "Qian Yushi, Qian Jianjun, you are a well-educated person and have read a lot of books.

Think about it, from ancient times to the present, there are a lot of prison soldiers, but there are not many prison soldiers who really leave their names in history, do you know what the reason is? ”

Qian Bangqi's face immediately fell, and he said with a suffocated mouth: "This, this, the lower officials are only shallow in their studies, and this time they are also under the order of the Governor of the Four Provinces, King Xiong, to your Volunteer Army as a supervisor. ”

Seeing the other party's appearance, Yang Lin smiled and asked: "My lord, since ancient times, the imperial court has sometimes set up a prison army, and sometimes it has not set up a prison army, I really don't understand the mystery of the prison army, so the prison army is stigmatized.

Just like in this dynasty, since the Yongle period, most of the superintendents in the army are eunuchs, except for asking for bribes and interfering with the main general, it is really useless. ”

Qian Bangqi laughed, pointed to himself and said: "General, I, Qian Bangqi, am from the imperial history, an upright scholar, you, you use eunuchs as an analogy, it seems that as a prison army under your account, I am really angry." ”

Yang Lin smiled, shook his head and said, "Qian Yushi, I don't mean to insult adults at all, I just want to say that they don't understand the meaning of the prison army?"

Any family is composed of men and women, but in the army, it is basically a man's paradise, and the general is generally too irritable and too impatient to do things, which requires the mediation of the supervising army.

In addition, many generals may fight in a set, but the main focus is on fighting the war, and they do not pay attention to the changes in the morale of the soldiers, nor do they have time to encourage the morale of the soldiers, let alone manage the military supplies, manage the treatment of wounded soldiers, and help the soldiers transcribe letters to their families and report safety.

…….

Mr. Qian, these things need to be done, but because of such and such problems, the main general has not done it at all, and this is what the prison army should do. ”

Qian Bangxin laughed when he heard it: "The old man originally thought that you, Yang Ruzhen, rejected the prison army, but it turned out to be such a set.

I want to be a man, let the prison army be a woman, the general is outside, and the army is inside.

Tell me, is that what you mean? ”

Yang Lin said with a smile: "Generally speaking, this is the meaning, eating, drinking, sleeping, everything needs to be managed, but it is impossible for the master to be responsible for everything."

Since the establishment of the Volunteer Army, the brigade has set up a division chief and a battalion (division) has set up an assistant, although these are not explicitly stated, but in fact they are the supervising army in the army, but they assist the chief general in managing only one brigade and one battalion.

In the past, I have always told those secretaries and assistants that eating, drinking, and blowing in the army, educating the army, keeping accounts in the army, mobilizing in the army, and saving the dead and protecting the wounded are all their affairs, and they are mainly auxiliary to the commander-in-chief.

With the assistance of the chief secretary and assistant military supervisors, the commander-in-chief can concentrate his main energy on the training and drills of the troops and on directing operations, fighting battles and marching troops, instead of worrying about everything and making everything chaotic.

If there is such a thing as corruption and empty salaries in the army, I will not blame the commander-in-chief, but only the secretary general and the assistant who supervise the army.

If the general is promoted, if the secretary general and the assistant are in agreement with the chief general, they will be directly promoted. If the opinion is to the left, the Shangguan will mediate and deal with it. ”

As Yang Lin said, many of the prison soldiers in the Ming Dynasty were eunuchs, and the prison army had a very bad reputation in the army, for fear that Yang Lin would not accept the position of the prison army.

Now listening to his introduction, the power of this superintendent is too great, and he is almost the undisputed second-in-command in the army.

Yang Lin now wants to build an officer training camp, let him do this, as long as he can ensure that the volunteer army can support all departments of the Ming army, as long as it is guaranteed that this army is absolutely loyal to the imperial court.

In ancient times, decent scholars mostly held the idea of loyalty to the monarch and love the people, and hoped that the achievers would help the heavens, as long as they were given a false name, so that they could show their ambitions, they were often very busy.

As everyone took their own responsibilities, the whole thing was running rapidly again, and Yang Lin was not in charge alone as everyone feared, and there was no large-scale retaliation, and slowly people's hearts gradually settled down.

In the peace on the surface, Yang Lin vaguely found that there was a worry, not to mention anything else, it was completely reasonable, legal and reasonable to deal with Shi Jinchen and Gou Weiyi, but there were some good people in the market who made up jokes and sarcastic jokes, which made people quite annoyed.

With all kinds of hidden dangers, Yang Lin tried his best to think about the solution?

On this day, they changed into a scribe's uniform and came to Wangjiang Tower, Qian Bangqi, Yin Chengqi, Ouyang Zhi, Wang Guangxian, Tang Taijie and others were already waiting in a private room by the river, and they all got up to greet Yang Lin after seeing him.

Sitting down one by one, everyone is dancing one by one, everyone has reason to be happy, in the past few months, the volunteers have won successive battles, overcome states and counties, expand their territory several times, and the population, money and food have doubled, according to this trend, it will take less than a year and a half to wave the army to counterattack and recover the CD.

But Yang Lin's face was full of worry, and he shook his head again and again: "Everyone, although we have been prosperous in the past few months, we must also be prepared for danger in times of peace."

Ladies and gentlemen, if nothing else, it is quite nerve-wracking to say that the rogue local thugs are bewitching the people.

For example, the local thugs scolded us for expropriating and extorting money and grain all day long, saying that the government collects money and grain several times more than in the past peaceful years, and that everyone here has made the people's livelihood miserable.

The same is true for the rogue, for example, Zhang Xianzhong threatened everyone, saying that I don't blink an eye when I kill people, as long as I fall into the government, I will die for life. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Qian Bangqi arched his hand and said: "My lord, now there are endless rumors in the world, and the rogue and local tyrants are spreading rumors, why should my lord be more serious?" ”

Yang Lin threw the chopsticks on the table fiercely, and said angrily: "I don't want to be annoyed, but this insults me, insults the volunteers, and insults everyone here, I can't let it go."

Ladies and gentlemen, I have thousands of miles of fertile land, and in just a few months, I have fallen into the hands of the rogues, in addition to the disadvantage of the various departments, the main reason is that everyone is resigned to the rogues.

Now the two sides have not officially started fighting rumors, if the two sides really fight, do you think I can still meet the enemy with peace of mind? ”

Qian Bangxin snorted a few times, and said with a smile: "My lord, the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, and the rumors stop at the wise, in order to allow the rumors to be private, adults can't take them seriously?" ”

Yang Lin smiled, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and immediately said his plan, that is, to run a newspaper, control the mouthpiece, and publish authoritative news to set the record straight.

Everyone was the first to hear it, and finally it dawned on them that this was just an expansion of the past newspaper.

Since the promotion of movable type printing in the Northern Song Dynasty, local governments often placed eyes and ears in the capital to collect information in order to grasp the dynamics of the imperial court, and then sent it to the parties in the form of a newspaper from the palace.

It is different from Di Bao, but the newspaper is not a completely new thing, and besides, most of us are people in the officialdom, of course, we understand the meaning of Di Bao, and now I hear that I want to run a newspaper similar to Di Bao, except for Qian Bangqi's slight opposition, the others applaud.
