At this moment, in Liu Yuliang's mansion, Sun Yuan was lying on the Hu bed pursing his lips, for fear that he would show a happy smile. （）

On the other Hu bed next to him, Liu Yuliang had a disgraced face.

The appointment of the imperial court finally came down, and Sun Yuan and Fu Shan angered Emperor Chongzhen because of their inappropriate words and deeds in the Lu Xiang Shengling Hall, so the chief military officer of Xuanfu Town could not be done. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen set up another Yangzhou town in Yangzhou to house Sun Yuan and the Ningxiang army.

Now he has got what he wanted, and finally took the town alone. In the future, Emperor Shangao is far away, and he Sun Yuan is finally a quasi-princely emperor.

In contrast, Liu Ge Lao was a little unlucky.

Since he fainted from hunger on the day of the feast, the imperial doctor relied on his pulse, and he couldn't hide the fact that he had diabetes.

A person who is seriously ill is naturally unable to command an army. As a result, the expectations of his governor, the Jiliao army, were disappointed. Not only that, but even the position of the cabinet began to waver.

At that time, some people said in front of Emperor Chongzhen that Liu Ge had worked hard and worked hard for the country, so that he became ill like this, and it was time to make a decree to let Liu Xiang return to his hometown and retire

。

Sun Yuan naturally knew the thoughts of the princes of the imperial court. The position of the cabinet is just that, but there are only six people. Moreover, after being able to achieve the position of senior cabinet, there is no provision that you must retire as soon as you reach the age, and you must wait until the laws of nature play a role before you can vacancy. If a cabinet member is strong and stays in his position for decades, until he is in his early eighties, everyone else can only stare at it. For example, Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet at the time of the Jiajing Dynasty, worked until he was more than eighty, his hair and beard were white, and he had to doze off every time the cabinet held a meeting, but people just didn't retreat, which was the way that blocked the way of later generations, and he was too hated.

Fortunately, the cabinet personnel of the Chongzhen Dynasty have changed like a marquee, and until now, everyone can't remember how many people in the cabinet have stayed from Chongzhen to the present.

It is precisely because the substitution is so fast that everyone feels that they have a chance to sit above the ten thousand people below that person. (Marshmallow offers Txt free download)

This time, Liu Yuliang fell ill, which made everyone smell the tempting smell of the prime minister's position.

Fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen still cared about Liu Yu's achievements in relieving the siege of Jinan, and ignored these proposals.

However, Liu Yuliang has already understood that he has completed his duties as an auxiliary minister in this cabinet, and it is estimated that it will be impossible to stay any longer, and it will only be more than a year.

Liu Yuliang is old, but the older this person gets, the more eager he is for fame. When I think that I will become an ordinary person in a year, I can't accept it spiritually.

Sun Yuan himself is happy, but he can't show it in front of Lao Liu, otherwise, it will be bad to let this old man remember his sadness.

Just as Sun Yuan and Liu Yuliang discussed in the past, the newly established Yangzhou Town has all 4,500 soldiers and horses, and the establishment of a battalion. It has jurisdiction over Rugao, Tongzhou, Haimen, Chongming and Taixing.

In addition, the Huai'an Dahewei was abolished

。 The soldiers and horses of the former Dahe Guard Commander and the land and houses of the guard were handed over to Yangzhou Town.

The military, political and political system of a province in the Ming Dynasty was based on a three-division system, with the political envoys in charge of civil affairs, the criminal envoys in charge of prisons, and the command envoys in charge of military affairs. (Marshmallow provides Txt free download) was worn by Dahewei in the past, in fact, it was in charge of the military of the entire Nanjing area.

However, Nanjing was the capital of the dynasty, and there were a large number of troops stationed there, which belonged to different military agencies. For example, the defense of Nanjing was in charge of the eunuchs left behind, and the military outside Nanjing also had a governor of Fengyang, and Caoyun and Yanyun also had their own troops. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Wei Institute collapsed, and after several major defeats, Dahewei no longer had an army that could handle it.

Today, the defense of the Nanzhili region depends on the soldiers and horses under the governor of Fengyang, and the current governor of Fengyang is Ma Shiying.

Ma Shiying's Sun Yuan still knows a lot, of course, this understanding mainly comes from historical materials. In Sun Yuan's view, this future Nanming Shoufu can be regarded as a person who has the ability, means, and responsibility at that time.

Those who can be called masterpieces are extremely shrewd people. At the beginning of this year, the southern thief army revived, and Ma Shiying immediately defended Nanjing, and also had to be responsible for the reconstruction and defense of Fengyang, the central capital. He hit the idea on Dahewei, and said that Dahewei was unbearable, and there was no need to dismantle it, and the general's expenses were real. After all, Ma Shiying's funds and Dahewei's military salary depend on Nanjing's household department, and it is better for the two families to share the food than to swallow it alone.

The Ming Dynasty has always had a tradition of being stingy, otherwise in order to save money, Emperor Chongzhen would not have laid off all the post stations, so that more than 100,000 post guards who relied on righteous warfare to make a living were laid off and unemployed, and there was a person named Li Zicheng among the laid-off post soldiers. The people of the Ming Dynasty had a low level of consciousness, but they didn't have "if the heart is there, the dream is there, but it's just starting all over again!" "If I don't off, who will lay off?" Grandma, if you knock out my job, Lao Tzu will fight with you!

And so a big mess ensued.

Ma Shiying is a serious two-rank jinshi, an old man in the civil system, and the martial artists in Dahewei have no background, and as soon as his fold is on, he will be approved immediately

。

Ma Shiying had a lot of military spending, and Nanjing had a lot of less expenses, which was really a celebration for the whole world, and only a cadre of Dahewei was suffering.

Sun Yuan roughly calculated, after all, Dahewei was a large organ in charge of the military of a province in the past, and after taking over it all, he should be able to get 50,000 or 60,000 military households. It is a good thing to select one of them for a year or two of training, and then get another battalion of strong soldiers.

However, with such a large population, without the military salary allocated by the imperial court, it is not so easy to support it by farming alone. Although Yangzhou Town has jurisdiction over several counties, the people in those counties have their own county knowledge, and the civil administration has nothing to do with the military town.

Moreover, the two lucrative livelihoods of Cao Yun and Salt Yun have nothing to do with the Ningxiang Army.

In later generations, such as Nantong and Rugao were one of the richest regions in China, but in the Ming Dynasty, they were all tidal flats near the sea, and the fertile fields in the territory were concentrated in the hands of the big families, and the land was greatly annexed. Not to mention that Sun Yuan can't interfere in local civil affairs, even if he becomes a figure like the actual festival envoy, there is no way to collect taxes. Because, the gentry in Jiangnan are all meritorious scholars, but they must be exempted from all taxes and servitude.

Therefore, in a sense, Sun Yuanshou received a place without oil and water.

It's a bit of a headache.

……

It was the end of May, but it was not hot today, and it was really sunny and windy.

The green trees in the yard are shady, and in the cool breeze, the trees are swaying, so that they are comfortable.

Sun Yuan: "Ge Lao is in his early sixties this year, and the so-called seventy years of life are rare. Even if you are strong, how many can you do? The last general is a martial artist, and he doesn't pay so much attention to his words, if he says the wrong thing, don't be annoyed. It is good for this person to be able to add more power to the country, but sometimes the manpower is poor. I have experienced a lot, and experience is certainly a kind of wealth. But if the energy is insufficient, some things are inevitably powerless to do. Moreover, according to the last general, the position of this cabinet member is like sitting on a volcano, Cabinet Elder, think about it, how many people have changed in the cabinet from Chongzhen to the present? Our Son of Heaven is the most anxious for quick success, and he thinks about it at one time. If you don't believe that you can live two years and then look at it, how many of the six scholars in the cabinet will be left by then? ”

"Don't look at it now, Wen Xiang and Yang Sichang are being trusted by His Majesty, but when the time comes, I'm afraid they will not be there. Not only them, but Zhou Yanru will not stay in the position for too long. ”

Hearing him say this, and thinking of Emperor Chongzhen's temperament, Liu Yuliang was stunned for a moment and straightened up: "The so-called three thoughts are thinking about danger, thinking about retreat, and thinking about change, in fact, the key is to think about retreat, I seem to understand what you mean at the beginning."

。 Now that the old man has gotten the glory he deserves, it's time to retreat. Otherwise, with the current situation, I am afraid that it will be too late? ”

Sun Yuan nodded: "It's best that Elder Ge can think like this." In the past few days, the last general has been depressed and unhappy when he sees the elder of the pavilion, and his heart is also sad. ”

It's sad to be sad, it's strange to be sad, really speaking, I'm still happy for Liu Yuliang!

With Lao Liutou's means and ability, if he supervises Liaodong, it will be strange if he will not be beaten all over the ground by Huang Taiji in the future battle of Songjin. Even if he follows his own defense strategy and fights in a stupid battle, can he withstand the pressure of the imperial court's quick success?

If there is a mistake in the war situation, the court will hold him responsible, and it will not be him who is unlucky in the end.

Moreover, if Old Man Liu still stays in the cabinet, in case history has not changed, and still moves forward with its huge inertia, in the future, when Li Zicheng enters Beijing, will Lao Liu not fall into the hands of the thief army?

As a friend, Liu Yuliang returned to his hometown to raise his wife, but Sun Yuan was very happy in his heart, and he also breathed a long sigh of relief. Otherwise, in the year of Jiashen, I still have to use my brains to get this old guy out of Beijing.

After all, it was someone's sad thing, and Sun Yuan didn't want to mention it again, so he changed the tone of his conversation and talked about his return to Yangzhou Town.

When Sun Yuan mentioned that the new town of Yangzhou would face huge demographic and economic pressures in the future, Sun Yuan frowned.

Liu Yuliang comforted him a few words and said: "Taichu, indeed, Yangzhou's land annexation is serious, and the military household guard can not have a few inches of land. Moreover, the transportation of water and salt is not under your control. However, the old man heard that there were still many ships and sailors under Dahewei, including a few large sea ships. It's really not possible, after you go to Yangzhou Town, you can let the army go by boat, but you can also make up for the lack of military funds. ”

"Sea ships, and sailors?" In an instant, Sun Yuan's eyes lit up, and he also sat up straight: "Dare to ask Elder Ge, is this matter true?" ”

"I have heard that in order to prevent pirates, our dynasty has implemented a policy of not going to sea with an inch of board. It can be that the former Dahewei was greedy for Haili and built two sea boats. The matter was noticed by local officials, and it was stopped, and it was investigated for a while. It was still Chongzhen's four years, eight years ago, and the old man still had some impressions. ”
