Chapter 565: Establishing a New Town
ο»Ώ
Seeing Sun Yuan's hippie smiling face, Liu Yuliang also laughed: "This is a good way, so that it doesn't have to offend the interests of some people, it can be described as a happy ending for everyone." Anyway, there are a lot of small military towns set up by our court, so it doesn't hurt to have one more of you. β
Indeed, in addition to the nine large military towns on the nine sides, the Ming Dynasty also had many small military towns on the border and in the military areas. For example, there is a town in Changping, there is a Zhenbao town in Baoding, and in Fujian, in order to guard against pirates, a town of Funing was set up. There is also a Guizhou town in Guizhou, and there is also a town in Yunnan.
These military towns are not permanent, and in the history of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, the small military towns do not know how many have been set up and how many have been abolished, and it is not a matter.
Liu Yuliang said again: "I heard that Sun Yuan, you have sent someone to send the seizure to Rugao's hometown, and the wealth and glory will return to their hometown, and Xinzhen will not be too far away from home if he wants to." β
This was exactly what Sun Yuan wanted, and he hurriedly said: "What Elder Ge said is true, please ask for grace and Yucheng in this matter." β
"It's not going to be easy." Liu Yuliang stroked his beard and said: "After all, Nanzhili is the Nanjing of our dynasty, if you want to set up another military town, the impact will be too bad." Moreover, that place is also the salt field of the Lianghuai River, which is very beneficial and involves too many ......"
Sun Yuan: "Enxiang, the last general will not compete with others for transportation and salt farms. As long as it is in Jiangnan, as long as there is a fast land, no matter how barren it is, it is good to be able to place his subordinates and soldiers, not too far from home. β
Liu Yuliang was originally an old master, but after being with Sun Yuan for so long, people also became witty, and said with a smile: "There is no barren and barren land in the south of the Yangtze River
γ Come and take a look at the old man. β
A staff member hurriedly fetched the map of Nanzhili and sent it to Sun Yuan and Liu Yuliang.
This is a transaction of more than 100,000 taels of silver, and there is no need to think about it, they need to be dragged by it to mediate, so Liu Gelao's staff members all quietly stood next to him and eavesdropped.
Liu Yuliang looked at the map, looked at it for a long time, and muttered: "The commander of Dahewei has been vacant, and the Ningxiang army is from Dahewei, it is said that Sun Yuan should be the commander of this envoy." However, your credit is too great for a single commander to be rewarded. What if Dahewei is abolished and set up as a military town? β
"Big River Town, I did this chief officer." Sun Yuan's eyes lit up, and he poked his finger fiercely at the position of Huai'an City.
Where is Huai'an Province, the confluence of the Grand Canal and the Huai River, and the material transit center of Cao and salt transportation. The population is large, and the prosperity of the market is second only to Nanjing and Yangzhou. In fact, in terms of its total GDP, it is even stronger than Yangzhou, and the reason why Yangzhou is famous is mainly because there are too many salt merchants there, and the city is full of rich people.
really received Huai'an, and just collecting some tolls every year can make Sun Yuan a big fat man.
Liu Yuliang hurriedly smiled: "How is it possible, how is it possible?" Even if the Son of Heaven nodded, Caoyun, Yanyun Yamen and Nanjing in Huai'an City would not agree, this move was too big, who would dare to risk the world's disapproval? The old man means to hand over the troops and military households of Dahewei to you. β
Sun Yuan was a little discouraged: "How is this good?" β
His mind turned away, and the future Jiangbei territory was controlled by the four towns of Jiangbei.
The so-called four towns in Jiangbei are Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, Huang Degong and Liu Zeqing.
Among them, Gao Jie's jurisdiction is in Xuzhou, Liu Zeqing is under the jurisdiction of Huai'an, Liu Liangzuo is based in Fengyang, and Huang Degong is stationed in Luzhou, which is today's Hefei and Anqing generation.
Huai'an Feng Shui treasure, but in the end it fell into Liu Zeqing's hands. Thinking of Liu Zeqing's obscene face, Sun Yuan secretly screamed in his heart: "Good luck guy." "There is no way, in the future, Jiannu will enter the customs, and Liu Zeqing's army will retreat from Shandong to the south, and naturally enter Huai'an. But that was in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, and now even if Sun Yuan has more credit than Liu Zeqing, he can't blatantly drive the troops into the city.
"But that's fine, Huai'an is the primary target of the Qing soldiers going south to destroy the Ming, and it's not bad to have him in front
οΌ It seems that the military towns set up by our Ningxiang Army are best behind the four towns in Jiangbei, so as not to become the target of Jiannu. Sun Yuan thought this in his heart, and he had an idea.
He stretched out his finger again and clicked on the map: "Enxiang, as you said, wealth and nobility do not return to their hometown, just like a brocade at night, and life is not tight." Can we set aside these places and set up a military town? β
Liu Yuliang: "Rugao, Tongzhou, Haimen, Chongming, you mean to set up a military town here, it's not impossible." It's just that these places, except for Rugao, which is quite rich, the rest of the places are seaside tidal flats, and there is no salt profit, but they are poor. β
The Tongzhou mentioned here is not Tongzhou in Beijing, but Nantong City, Jiangsu Province in later generations.
The territory that Sun Yuan wanted was actually Rugao County, Nantong City, Chongming County, and Haimen City in later generations.
"Enxiang, the last general really wants to go back to his hometown, the territory is smaller, and it doesn't matter if he is poor." Sun Yuan said with a smile. It's small, it's not small, don't forget, the east of these counties is a boundless sea. The people of this era have not yet realized the significance of maritime transport, and they have not yet realized that the sea is also a blue land.
Today, the north is dilapidated, and the general's town is located in the north, which is obviously impossible to gain a foothold. The rich south is the chassis of the magnates and gentry, and from the current point of view, it cannot be entered. Then, it can only develop to the ocean.
"It's not a big deal just because of this bit of territory, and the resistance of the imperial court is much smaller." Thinking that Sun Yuan was a little rich and peaceful, Liu Yuliang was a little regretful, in his opinion, Sun Yuan at least had to get some kind of Datong chief military officer to do in order to be ambitious: "Don't worry, the old man immediately gave a fold to the Son of Heaven, please Your Majesty set up a Yangzhou town to defend Nanjing, in case the thief army rushes east." In the seventh year of Chongzhen, the high thief Yingxiang hit Chuzhou, and the south of the Yangtze River was shaken. If it weren't for the Ningxiang Army, I don't know how the battle would have ended. And the Nanjing army is not available, and no one can guarantee when the thief army will kill Nanjing, so it is also necessary to set up a military town in Jiangbei, and the Son of Heaven should agree. β
Sun Yuan heard Liu Yuliang say that this matter was not difficult, and a smile appeared on his face: "Thank you, Elder Ge." β
Liu Yuliang's staff are also very happy, this matter is too simple to do, and the hard work of this carriage and horse can be regarded as getting it.
Liu Ge was about to pick up the pen, but after thinking about it, he said: "No, this excerpt has to be slowed down." β
Sun Yuan: "The end will be unknown
γ β
Old man Liu's next sentence shocked Sun Yuan.
"General Sun, the old man first went to the fold, and said that Xuanfu Town is the gateway to Gyeonggi. Now, although Xuanda Town has the governor Chen Xinjia, the post of the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu has been pending because of the urgency of the war. Just because the general army of this town is really important, it is necessary to choose a tiger general to defend the town. Therefore, the old man decided to recommend you as the chief soldier of Xuanfu. β
Yang Guozhu, the former commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, has been removed from his official position because of a disagreement with Yang Sichang, the first confidant of the emperor in the cabinet. Now, he is staying in Beijing as an alternative. If nothing else, he should be sent to Liaoxi.
"Ahh Sun Yuan's mouth opened wide in shock.
Old Liu Tou, didn't we just say that we wanted to ask the imperial court to set up a Yangzhou town, but now you ask me to be the chief soldier of Xuanfu, which one are you playing?
There was also a commotion among the staff, and a cronie of Liu Ge Lao stepped forward and said: "Think twice, the relationship between the general army of the Xuanfu is too big, and this position is not so easy to get." β
Liu Yuliang looked like he was in his chest: "What the old man wants is that the matter is very important, what he wants is that there are many things to discuss, and what he wants is not easy." β
Liu Ge is an old bureaucrat who has been mixed all his life, and his political wisdom is naturally not comparable to Sun Yuan.
In fact, Sun Yuan asked himself if he actually had no talent. When we talk about resourcefulness, we are just based on a prescient understanding of history. As for the ability to lead troops to war, it is because he has mixed with military history forums in the past and has more knowledge than his contemporaries. As for martial arts, when he traveled to the Ming Dynasty, he was already an adult, and he had missed the best age to learn martial arts, and now he is stronger than ordinary people, and he can only rely on equipment when he works with people. To put it bluntly, Sun Yuan is just an ordinary person, which is the same in modern society, and the same is true when he travels to the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, at any time, you can't underestimate the villain.
Sun Yuan still admired Lao Liu's methods, and was busy asking for advice; "Please also ask the elder to speak clearly."
"Wonderful!" While Sun Yuan was still puzzled, several of Liu Yuliang's cronies and aides were already applauding, which made Sun Yuan quite embarrassed.
Fortunately, in the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty, military attachΓ©s are all standard military men, and what they want is to be brave and strategic, and Sun Yuan's confusion seems normal.
A staff member explained: "General Sun, the former chief soldier of Xuanfu is Yang Guozhu, and the governor of Xuanda is Lu Jiandou Lu Inspector
γ Lu Jiandou and Yang Sichang and Yang Ge were always political enemies at the beginning, and Xuanfu Town's duty was to defend the Jingshi, which was extremely important. Therefore, Yang Ge Lao must extend his hand to the Xuan Mansion. Because, Yang Sichang recommended Chen Xinjia to be the governor of Xuanda, and also removed Yang Guozhu from the post of commander-in-chief of Xuanfu, and installed his own manpower, which shows that Yang Ge Lao is concerned about Xuanfu. β
Sun Yuan: "Yes, it is precisely because the general soldier of Xuanfu is so important, if Liu Ge Lao recommends the last general, it will inevitably cause an uproar." β
The staff said: "This is what the elder means, with General Sun's current merits, he deserves to be the chief soldier of Xuanfu." However, it will inevitably be opposed by Yang Gelao. Then, the general can retreat and ask the imperial court to set up another Yangzhou town to prevent the thief army from entering Nanjing again. In this way, Yang Sichang kept Xuanfu Town, and the general won the post of Yangzhou General Army, and everyone took a step back, and everyone was happy. β
Sun Yuan was dumbfounded: "Can it still be like this?" β
The staff smiled: "Retreat is advance." β
This kind of strategy can only come from him, a staff member, and cannot come from Liu Yuliang's mouth. After all, Liu Ge Lao is an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, and this bit of dignity is still needed.
Sun Yuan sincerely bowed his hand: "Admire." β
At that moment, Liu Yuliang began to think about how to write this recommendation excerpt. At the same time, he also sent his staff to escort more than 100,000 taels of silver to the capital in advance.
100,000 taels of silver, that's hundreds of millions of yuan, it's a lie not to feel distressed. But as long as he can buy a warlord to do, Sun Yuan still thinks it's worth it.
Looking at the car in the distance, Sun Yuan clenched his fists, it is now the twelfth year of Chongzhen, and there are still more than four years before Li Zicheng enters Beijing and Jiannu enters the customs. It's not that Sun Yuan doesn't want to turn the tide in this national catastrophe of mountains and tsunamis. It's really limited in terms of strength, and although he has won victories on the battlefield one after another, it's because he knows the direction of history in advance and takes advantage of the situation. In the future, he will not have such good luck. Li Zicheng entered Beijing, and the Qing army entered the customs, which one was not a general battle of hundreds of thousands of people. I have only a few thousand men and horses on hand and lose them on the battlefield, but I am afraid that they will not be consumed in an instant.
The north is already dilapidated, and there are many constraints, and now it is time to return to the south of the Yangtze River.
Liu Tou is right, the current retreat is for the future advancement.
It's a pity that he made this decision based on his foresight of history, but he couldn't say it to Huang You. Hey, I hope he will be able to understand my Sun Yuan's hard work in the future.
