"What about underestimating him?" Sun Yuan smiled.

Huang You: "General, didn't you say that the enemy is lenient before, but this Liu Chao is really a character!" ”

"What do you say, Brother Huang, tell me about this Liu Chao." Sun Yuan put away his relaxed smile and asked.

Huang You: "This Liu Chao is about in his early fifties this year, and he is a native of Yongcheng. During the Apocalypse, he participated in the battle against An Bangyan, and was promoted to the chief military officer of Zunyi, Sichuan because of his military achievements. ”

"Liu Chao participated in the battle against An Bangyan, and he also made contributions to the chief military officer of Zunyi?" Sun Yuan became serious. An Bangyan was the main leader of the famous "Extravagant and An Rebellion" in the history of Sichuan-Guizhou and other provinces in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty, and once led 100,000 rebels into the siege of Guiyang, the capital of central Guizhou, on February 7, the second year of the Ming Dynasty. During the 10 months of the siege, Guiyang was like an isolated island, with no reinforcements and food inside, so that the people in the city fell into a miserable situation of cannibalism. After many years of rebellion, in the second year of Chongzhen, he was pacified by Zhu Xieyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the soldiers and horses of Gui, Sichuan, Hu, Yunnan, and Guangdong provinces.

The Rebellion of Luxury and An was a famous battle at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the battle lasted for a long time. Because most of the people in luxury and Abe are southern mountain people, they are in a hurry to be fierce. Therefore, the battle was also fought extremely hard.

Liu Chao was able to survive that kind of cruel war, and he also made contributions to the chief officer, so he should not be a simple character.

Sun Yuan: "It seems that we are going to meet a veteran of the war this time, tell me what kind of person this is?" ”

"What kind of person could it be

。 Huang You: "Previously, our town's fine work in Nanjing had inquired about his ins and outs, this Liu Chao was a lame man, and one leg was injured in the war in Guizhou. I heard that Liu Chao is extremely cunning and good at using tricks. ”

Sun Yuan: "A single Liu Chao is nothing, in addition to having a qualified commander, an army must also have a large number of capable middle and lower-level officers, what can Brother Huang know?" ”

Huang You: "The general really got to the point, and the seriousness of the problem is here. ”

Sun Yuan suddenly lifted his spirit and sat up straight.

Huang You smiled bitterly: "Has the general forgotten that the chief military officers of each town in my dynasty are all breadwinners." Moreover, this Liu Chao has been fighting in Guizhou for many years, and this general with troops is notoriously rich. If he, Liu Chao, didn't use all the money he earned on the troops like a general, he was afraid that he would be a rich country by now, and it would not be difficult to feed a group of family members. To tell the truth, if you don't become the chief military officer of Yangzhou Town one day, even if you are idle at home, Jiang Donkey and they are afraid that they will follow the general and be a family member in your house. ”

"How many families does Liu Chao have?"

Huang You: "The chief military officers of the important towns on the nine sides generally raise about two thousand family members, and the scale of Zunyi Town led by Liu Chao back then was much smaller, but there were still two or three hundred elite soldiers. ”

"Two or three hundred families." Sun Yuan took a breath of cold air. Indeed, two or three hundred families may not seem like much, but these are all veterans who have seen big battles and fought vicious battles for many years. Anyone can be used as an officer directly in a war.

These two or three hundred families are scattered, and even if one person only leads a team of 100 people, he can instantly form an army of tens of thousands of people.

Compared with such experienced officers, the soldiers of the Nanjing Guards are simply waste.

He was still not at ease: "How is Governor Ma Yao Caoma fighting on the front line, and how much strength does he have on hand?" ”

Sun Yuan is using force here, not the army.

It is accurate to use the word strength, especially in the late Ming Dynasty.

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the army was rotten one by one, with an army of 100,000, and the elite who could go to the battlefield may only be two or three thousand. Therefore, there is no way to measure the combat effectiveness of a unit by numbers.

"Taichu's words are really to the point

。 Huang You said: "Ma Yaocao's governors, Fengyang and Luzhou, seem to have a lot of troops at hand, but they are all Huang Degong's troops. Although Huang Degong was under Ma Shiying's control, he was not directly under his control. It is said that Governor Ma only has more than 10,000 men on hand, and they are all recruits who have just been formed for less than two years. As for the family, it is estimated that there are no more than 100 people. ”

"Ah, how can Ma Shiying fight this battle?" Sun Yuan was taken aback: "I'm afraid this Suqian can't be saved, Suqian can't be saved, Fengyang." Fengyang knows about that place, there is not even a city wall, and there are no troops around. If Ma Shiying was defeated, Nanjing would be directly exposed to Liu Chao's troops. ”

"Who said it wasn't, so the general shouldn't underestimate this Liu Chao." Huang You suddenly had a smile on his face: "Didn't Shi Butang and the various ministries and institutes in Nanjing not want to send troops to Henan to make trouble for themselves, and just wanted Mrs. Ping Ping to be their official, now it's okay, they don't want to find trouble, and they all come up when trouble is found." Liu Chao is now fighting into the territory of Nanzhili, defending the territory and resisting the enemy, which is the responsibility of the Sixth Department of Nanjing. General, we should now take this opportunity to request the rescue of the Ma Shi heroes and recruit Liu Chao. As soon as this battle started, it was not necessarily limited to the territory of Nanzhili. The thief army comes and goes like the wind, today in Fengyang, tomorrow maybe it will run to Kaifeng. Yongcheng is 300 miles away from Guide Mansion, and Guide is 300 miles away from Kaifeng. Six hundred miles away, fast horses galloping, that is, a few days and nights of work. ”

"Brother Huang is right, haha, wonderful!" Sun Yuan slapped his thigh and stood up: "Now, shouldn't I go and meet that Shi Shangshu?" ”

"It's useless to go?"

Sun Yuan was puzzled: "How do you say this?" ”

Huang You: "The relationship between Shi Butang and Ma Yaocao is not so good, you must know that the reason why Ma Shiying has today's scenery is not because of Ruan Dacheng's recommendation." Ruan Dacheng used to be a member of the Donglin Party, but later feared Wei Zhongxian, defected from Donglin and took refuge in the Eunuch Party. For this kind of traitor, Donglin hates to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin. Ma Shiying met Liu Chao this time, but he was afraid that there were really a lot of people in Donglin who were ready to see his jokes, and how could he be willing to send reinforcements. Even if you want to send troops to rescue, you have to wait for a while, and wait for Governor Ma to lose a big loss. To tell the truth, our Yangzhou town is famous, and it is too capable to fight. Zhenyi went to the town, and he killed Liu Chao with three times and five divided by two, and he Ma Shiying not only had no fault, but had merit

。 ”

Sun Yuan couldn't believe it: "Things have come to this point, and the DPRK and China are still thinking about the partisanship?" This is too ignorant of the general situation, although Shi Butang is anxious, he may also have achievements for my Sun Yuan, but he won't do this kind of thing, right? With that, he picked up his pen, quickly wrote a love letter, and ordered his subordinates to send it to Shukefa.

Huang You wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he closed it, and only slowly sipped tea on the side, leisurely pulled out a book from the bookshelf and read it.

Sun Yuan is also a prince now, and his mansion is located in the most prosperous place in Nanjing, and it is only one street away from the imperial city. The messenger rode a fast horse to send it over, and it was only a matter of ten minutes.

Before the tea in Huang You's cup cooled down, Yu Xiang came back dejectedly and put the letter on the table: "General, your letter was returned by Shi Butang, and he also reprimanded his subordinates. said that this time Liu Thief's rebellion, the court is in charge, and it is not the turn of a martial artist to point fingers and let the general return to the town as soon as possible. ”

"How can this be?" Sun Yuan was dumbfounded: "Liu Chao is going to conquer Suzhou, and he will be killed in Nanjing soon." In today's Nanjing, in addition to my Ningxiang army, are there any available soldiers? ”

Walking in the house for a long time in a hurry, Sun Yuan saw that Huang You was still doing it leisurely, and his heart moved: "Brother Huang has already made up his mind, if he has it, say it quickly." ”

Huang You nodded: "I have a way to ensure that the general can send troops smoothly." Not only was he able to leave the division smoothly, but someone also sent the 200,000 taels of silver over with a salary. General, you only thought about convincing Shi Butang, but you didn't expect that you were looking for the wrong person at all. Why don't you go somewhere else and come up with ideas? General, you say, who should we convince? ”

Sun Yuan was overjoyed: "Brother Huang, don't sell Guanzi." ”

Huang You smiled faintly: "Ruan Dacheng, general, you should go to see him." ”

"Ruan Dacheng, this traitorous villain, you let someone go to see him?" Sun Yuan was stunned.

Ruan Dacheng is on the "History of the Ming Dynasty? The Biography of the Ministers. Many historians in later history directly blamed the demise of the Southern Ming Dynasty on Ruan Dacheng's misuse of power and misguided the country, although what the real history looks like, this can be discussed. Moreover, judging from Sun Yuan's contact with Shi Kefa today, it seems that the things in the historical materials are not very reliable.

But the major events recorded in the historical materials should be true in general.

Ruan Dacheng was originally a member of the Donglin Party, but later, for the sake of power, and because of the Donglin Party members Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong and others who offended him, in order to take revenge, he threw himself into the arms of the Eunuch Party

。 This kind of behavior of changing the court was a big taboo in ancient times, and it was done by villains. In the eyes of the world, this Ruan Dacheng is a slave with three surnames, a standard villain.

Now that Huang You asked himself to find him, Sun Yuan was still a little reluctant in his heart.

"Yes, just to see him. That's right, Ruan Dacheng's reputation is too bad, and sometimes he is simply a villain. But sometimes, it is much easier to deal with villains, but it is much easier to be a gentleman. Isn't the general going to send troops to Henan, as long as this Ruan Dacheng can help Taichu you achieve this goal, what does it matter how he behaves? ”

Sun Yuan's heart moved slightly, as a modern person, he pays attention to flexibility, whether Ruan Dacheng is a gentleman or a villain, what does it have to do with himself, and muttered: "Ruan Dacheng really has a way, what position does he have in Nanjing now?" ”

Huang You: "I don't have an official position, I'm idle at home." ”

Next to him, Yu Xiang: "If you don't have an official position, what use is it?" ”

Huang You: "But he can ask Ma Shiying to send an official letter to transfer us to suppress Liu Chao!" Ma Shiying is now the governor of Fengyang, the left attendant of the military department, and he can issue a troop transfer talisman to the Ningxiang army. He had a close relationship with Ma Shiying, and when Gao Yingxiang's army came to Chuzhou, Ruan Dacheng was in Lujiang. In order to avoid the war, he moved to Nanjing, and recruited rangers to talk about soldiers and swords, hoping to be called by border generals. Gu Gao in Wuxi, Yang Tingshu in Wuxian, Shen Shizhu in Wuhu, Huang Zongxi in Yuyao, Wantai in Yinxian County and others are all famous people in the Fushe, and they are gathering in Nanjing to give lectures, and they are very disgusted with this Ruan Dacheng, and they do "Staying in the Capital to Prevent Chaos" and distribute it around, wanting to drive Ruan Dacheng out of Nanjing. Ruan Dacheng was scared, so he closed the door and only communicated with Shiying. Later, Zhou Yanru was summoned to the cabinet, and Ruan Dacheng loaded money to bribe Wei Yang in an attempt to clear his previous sins. Zhou Yanru said, my trip was mistakenly pushed by the Donglin Party. Is your name in the case of rebellion? Ruan Dacheng pondered for a long time, and then asked how Yaocao was? Zhou Yanru agreed. After the Fengyang Change, all the officials in Fengyang were punished, and the governor of Fengyang became vacant. Wang Xiyan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, got the instruction of Zhou Yanru, and recommended Ma Shiying to the imperial court, and after Zhou Yanru made the decision, the imperial court then used Ma Shiying as the right attendant of the military department and the right to serve the imperial history, and the military governor Luzhou, Fengyang and other places. It can be seen that this Ruan and Ma are originally one party, one with two sides, one is in trouble, and the other will be unlucky. Now, Governor Ma is having a hard time, and the whole of Nanjing is watching his jokes. And I, Ning Xiangjun, now offered to help them, you say, why isn't Ruan Dacheng ecstatic? ”

Sun Yuan touched his nose: "Brother Huang's words made a certain ruin to see the blue sky through the clouds, it seems that I have to see this Ruan Dacheng." Moreover, he had to find a way to ask him for military salary. Yu Xiang, send my post to Nguyen Mansion. ”

"Wait, wait." Huang You smiled and said: "General, if you want to be fast, you went to the military department to ask for war at the beginning, and I am afraid that the matter of arguing with Shi Butang has now spread in the imperial city."

。 Ruan Dacheng has many eyes and ears in Nanjing, and he will definitely know it. Now, Governor Ma is having a hard time in Suzhou, and he is afraid that Ruan Dacheng is also as anxious as an ant on a hot pot to save the soldiers, if he can let go of our Yangzhou Town, a hundred battles of heroes. If I'm not mistaken, Ruan Jizhi will send someone to contact you in two days at most. ”

As soon as the words fell, a clerk came over with a big red post: "General Yu, this is an invitation sent by Lord Ruan Dacheng, the former secretary of Guanglu Temple, saying that General Jiuwen is outstanding." It just so happened that he and Ma Siniang had an appointment to talk about poetry and poetry at the Qinhuai River painting boat today, so he came over to ask the general. ”

Sun Yuan was shocked.

Yu Xiang was even more shocked: "Mr. Huang is really a god!" ”

Huang You looked indifferent: "What is good for the ear, no surprise, no surprise." Come to think of it, this Ruan Dacheng must have wanted to ask the general to send troops to exterminate Liu Chao and the other thieves. When the time comes, the general will just open the conditions. ”

"That is, I must be a lion with his mouth wide open, and the meat falls into his mouth, when will my Sun Yuan be polite." Sun Yuan laughed and said to the bookmaker: "You take my post back to Ruan Dacheng, just say that Sun Yuan is accurate in the evening." This Ruan Dacheng is simply an ear god, I have only been in Nanjing for half a day, and he knows it...... By the way, don't tell him the second half of this sentence. ”

When the bookstore took Sun Yuan's business card and went out, Sun Yuan picked up the invitation card and looked at it for a long time, but Huang You stretched out his head with a look of anticipation.

Sun Yuan's heart moved: "Brother Huang wants to see that Ma Siniang, a singer...... By the way, who is this Ma Siniang? ”

Huang You couldn't help but shake his head: "The general actually doesn't know Ma Xianglan and Ma Siniang?" ”

"I know who he is, but he is a married man, and he is not interested in Fengyue Field." Sun Yuan smiled and suddenly exclaimed: "Ah, Ma Xianglan, isn't this one of Qin Huai's eight yans?" Talented people love beautiful women, since Brother Huang wants to go, how can I refuse! ”

Yu Xiang covered his mouth and snickered, and Huang You, who had always been serious, couldn't hold back a little on his face.

Seeing that it was not early, Sun Yuan stood up: "Let's go, Brother Huang, Xiaoyu, let's go shopping today......" Seeing Huang You's excited appearance next to him, Sun Yuan had a narrow thought in his heart: "Just go to the kiln and prostitute your mother-in-law." ”

Huang You was stunned and coughed violently: "Burning the piano and cooking the crane, ruining the scenery!" ”
