Chapter 314: Encounter

Lei Dayong finished explaining.

Yang is very satisfied, and this plan is close to perfection.

"Master Sun, is there anything else you want to add?" Yang asked Gengai.

Sun Chengzong has been listening to the emperor's strategy, and when he saw the emperor asking, he said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has nothing to say, this policy is already very perfect, everything just depends on whether General Man can make a good start, start the first battle of the imperial army, fight well, and establish a prestige, so this strategy is perfect." The Mongols will definitely become vassals of our dynasty, and the border troubles can be solved. Sun Chengzong said approvingly.

"Hehe, yes, General Man, I don't know if you are sure about this first battle? This is related to the success of our Mongolian strategy," Yang asked Mangui with a smile.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is absolutely sure, according to the equipment, training, and salary of the new army, if the minister can't win again, the minister will simply touch his neck and hang himself. What's more, the Mongolian right wing has now dispersed, and it is very easy to kill them, and the ministers must do what His Majesty asks. Man Gui agreed with a big grin.

"Okay, that's good, but I called you here today, not only to let you listen to this Mongolian strategy, but also to listen to the Mongolian strategy, you must understand my intentions, and you must be able to implement my strategy, from today onwards, you two generals will receive rigorous strategic and tactical training, to put it bluntly, that is, let you undergo rigorous sand table confrontation training, you must have a clear understanding of the wind and grass on the Mongolian steppe, and there is a mountain and a ditch outside the Mongolian Pass, you must know in your heart, in the future, The ground that is 2,000 miles long and 200 miles wide is the racecourse for you to gallop. "Yang Reform has abused Yuan Chonghuan, and now, he will continue to abuse Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao.

"I understand." Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao agreed. They love playing this kind of sandbox game.

"Okay, to be honest, my requirements are not high, the Imperial Association Army will fight, the first battle, must win." Yang Gengai carefully checked the preparation of his strategy, and did not let go of the slightest possible mistake.

"The minister understands that the first battle will be won." Man Gui replied.

……

As he was talking, Wang Chengen reported: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Shaanxi. ”

"From Shaanxi? What's up? Yang Gaizheng was talking vigorously with his two guns, and suddenly heard the emergency report from Shaanxi, and immediately asked seriously, now that place is a powder keg, and if you are not careful, you will blow people to pieces.

"Back to Your Majesty, it seems to be an urgent report sent by the Qin sent by Your Majesty." Wang Chengen said in a low voice.

"Chincha? Shaanxi's? Yang asked reform.

"Your Majesty, yes, from Shaanxi, Your Majesty has never forgotten the matter of borrowing the head of Shaanxi Governor Hu Yanyan." Wang Chengen reminded.

"Oh, that's been a month now, where's the head? How is a reply? Yang Gengai suddenly remembered that he had sent someone to Shaanxi to borrow the head of the governor of Shaanxi.

"Back to Your Majesty, the slave and maid don't know, please look at it, the details, there should be an explanation in it." Wang Chengen whispered about this matter, this matter, he did something and promised Sun Chengzong, let the sent Qincha arrive a few days late, to the ground, if you meet Hu Yanyan is already dead, don't cut off the head, let alone poke the corpse, report to the emperor and say, now, this urgent report is coming, indicating that Hu Yanyan "died by himself". Wang Chengen breathed a sigh of relief, this matter, after all, was done behind the emperor's back, and Wang Chengen didn't want the emperor to find out anything, although it was all for the emperor's good.

Yang paused the conversation with his two guns, opened the letter inside, and flipped through it.

Yang Gai frowned, and the Qin Cha who found the letter said that they hurried up, and when they arrived in Shaanxi, they found that Hu Yanyan was dead, and he had been dead for several days, he died of a violent illness, and he had been buried, and they had checked it, and it was indeed Hu Yanyan, although they opened the coffin, but it was not easy to move the corpse, after all, killing the head is killing the head, but poking the corpse, unless it is a person who is extremely evil, otherwise, they will not enjoy this treatment, so they have to report, to see the emperor's meaning, is to continue to borrow people's heads, poke the corpse, Or do you want to leave it at that?

"Hu Yanyan is dead." Yang Gai threw down the letter and spoke.

Everyone was waiting for the emperor to speak, or to make a move. Suddenly heard the news that Hu Yanyan was dead, they all sighed, a feudal official got to the point of being borrowed by the emperor, and he was also a well-known figure, and now he heard that he was dead, he was also surprised, but no one spoke. ,

Sun Chengzong secretly sighed that he was lucky, this letter was delivered in a timely manner, just when he was still in front of the emperor, just after the emperor's depression period, if it happened to be sent when the emperor's mood was in a downturn, the emperor would not do anything unexpected, it is really hard to say. Now that he is in front of the emperor, the emperor will not be mad anymore, and the emperor probably won't take this matter to heart.

At this time, Yang Reform has long lost the original resentment in his heart, that Hu Yanyan is not dead, and the impact on himself is not great, killing him is just to vent his anger, Yang Reform thought about it and said: "Master Sun, Hu Yanyan is dead, you say, what should I do?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the death of a person is great, and the debt of a person is eliminated, since Hu Yanyan is dead, then the guilt on his body should be eliminated together, and at the same time, he should not take the head of the deceased, after all, even if Hu Yanyan is at fault, even if he deserves to die, it has not yet reached the point of poking the corpse." Sun Chengzong sighed secretly, it was better to come sooner than by coincidence, he happened to be by His Majesty's side, and it happened that this emergency report arrived at this time, this is a coincidence, it seems that God still doesn't want His Majesty's reputation to be dusty

"Well, it makes sense, but although the person is dead and the debt is gone, all the preferential treatment, rewards, and shades that he received because of Hu Yanyan's banquet in the past have to be recovered." Yang Gai no longer cares about the life or death of the governor, killing him is nothing more than venting his anger, and now that the person is dead, there is not much resentment left in his heart, and this matter is hastily settled.

Sun Chengzong breathed a sigh of relief, and Wang Chengen also breathed a sigh of relief. Although this matter was done for the emperor's good, after all, it was done secretly behind the emperor's back, and if the emperor knew about it, he would definitely have a problem with them.

What made Yang Reform extremely angry before, now, in Yang Reform's view, it doesn't matter, this group of Confucians, if they don't do this kind of thing that harms their own people, it is really a strange thing.

……

In July of the first year of Chongzhen, in the past few days, Yang Reform has been concentrating on one thing, that is, personally supervising the production of military tickets and the issuance of military tickets.

Although the ministers knew, they didn't ask much, although some people played a sparse game, saying that this kind of thing is not advisable, but the ministers still did not take this matter to the court to say, after all, it is the emperor's own military salary, how to get it, that is the emperor's own business, as long as the officials and soldiers do not make trouble, after all, now in the Ming Dynasty, how many places can not get military salaries, or, counting on the emperor's internal funds, the emperor can still send a piece of paper, How many places don't even have a sentence.

Some people are ready to see the emperor's jokes, after all, the treasure money has a very bad reputation, and some people are ready to wait and see, the emperor has always been very reliable, and he has never been targeted.

In short, the emperor's issuance of military tickets came to this world quietly.

The first batch of military tickets for Yang Reform has been issued, and the target is the new army, but there are not many of them, and I am ready to see how to react, Yang Reform's attitude towards this matter is quite cautious. Although the salaries of the new army are quite high, in fact, not many of them are distributed to the soldiers, and the system of 30 percent in hand, 30 percent at home, and 30 percent in the hands has always been implemented.

The salaries of the new army have always been paid in a timely manner, and at the beginning of each month, the previous month's salary will be paid.

……

From the production to the issuance of military tickets for the new army, Yang Reform has paid attention to the whole process.

No, early in the morning, I asked about the military ticket, after all, this is the top priority of Yang reform.

"Otomo, how is the military ticket issued? What do the soldiers of the New Army say? What do the merchants say? What do the people say? "Yang Reform has always been very nervous about the issuance of military tickets. I'm afraid that I will not be good and make it out of control, but I will smash my own gun, which is too big a blow to myself.

"Back to Your Majesty, early this morning, the slave maid received the news that the soldiers of the new army, the reaction to the military ticket, is still plain, not very afraid, and they don't care very much, they all believe that Your Majesty will not lie to them, so even if they receive the military ticket, there is no complaint......" Wang Chengen said happily as much as possible.

"Oh, is it? I don't believe that the consciousness of the officers and soldiers will be so high? "To be honest, Yang Reform doesn't expect ordinary soldiers in feudal society to have the consciousness of ** warriors, and they don't complain when they use paper as military salaries. ,

"Your Majesty, there are some and there are, the new army is Your Majesty's pro-army, and Your Majesty is very good to the new army, they naturally think of Your Majesty's goodness, not to mention, Your Majesty's military tickets are not incomparable, they believe in Your Majesty." Wang Chengen explained.

"Really, don't lie?" Yang Gengai asked suspiciously.

"Really, Your Majesty, now, many soldiers have put away the military tickets they got, saying that they are heirlooms for their future children and grandchildren, and they all say that Your Majesty's military tickets are beautifully made and ......reliable, and they are reluctant to spend them." Wang Chengen didn't tell a lie, the quality of the emperor's banknotes is really impossible to say, it is beautifully printed, many soldiers do have this plan, take this thing as their own heirloom, of course, there are some factors, Wang Chengen did not say, that is, Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao heard that the emperor's internal money is not much, and they want to use one silver to issue two copies of paper money, in order to share the emperor's worries, in order to let the emperor prepare less silver, they specially asked their officers and soldiers not to exchange military tickets for silver, to exchange, it is also next month to exchange this month, In short, to save a month's worth of military tickets in hand, ...... Mangui and Zhao Shujiao did so, and the new army also had to follow, and now, the new army and Mangui, Zhao Shujiao are also considered to be one person, so there is this kind of soldier collecting military tickets, not to lie, but not completely true.

"That's right," Yang Genghe said to himself, incredulously.

Wang Chengen didn't dare to look at the emperor, this matter is still a bit false, Wang Chengen is considering whether to tell the emperor the actual situation.

"And what about the merchants who supply the Forces nouvelles?" Yang Reform asked again, the new army will consume a lot of materials every day, such as pork, vegetables, oil, and so on, all of which need to be supplied by merchants, according to Yang Reform's meaning, only these military tickets are given to merchants, and then the merchants take the military tickets to the bank to exchange for silver, making a time difference, so that one million taels of silver becomes two million taels of flowers, and also to prepare for the full issuance of paper money in the future.

"Back to Your Majesty, those merchants are still the same as a few days ago, as soon as they get the military tickets, they immediately take them to the bank and exchange them for silver coins, and they will never take them in their hands for a quarter of an hour." Wang Chengen replied.

"......, oh, this situation is also expected, this is also a good thing, the merchants are at least willing to accept this kind of military tickets, and when they get used to the exchange of military tickets for silver, they have formed the concept in their minds that military tickets can be exchanged for silver, and I have done this." This is not the first time that Yang Reform has said this, and in the past few days, he has been monitoring the movement of the entire military ticket issuance, and he has been worrying a lot.

"That is, Your Majesty, as long as those merchants are accustomed to His Majesty's military tickets and know that military tickets can be exchanged for silver, in the future, they will be lazy and will not exchange silver so diligently, at that time, as long as there is a batch of military tickets in the hands of those merchants for a day, this is also a large amount, and everyone will get used to military tickets in the future, and it will become ......natural not to exchange them for a long time," Wang Chengen said.

“…… Well, I know, I think the same way......" Yang Reform said again, these days, every move of the military ticket is in Yang Reform's attention, and even how many military tickets a businessman took to the bank to exchange silver, Yang Reform will also ask.

"Yes, Your Majesty ......," Wang Chengen took the trouble to explain to the emperor.

"What about the ministers? What are they doing? Yang asked reform.

"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers didn't say anything, many of them are still waiting to see what Your Majesty is doing, and they are going to wait for Your Majesty's military tickets to be issued for a while......" Wang Chengen replied again.

“…… Everything is almost as expected......" Yang Reform said this boringly.

"Yes, Your Majesty ......," Wang Chengen continued to agree.

……

"Forget it, big companion, let's go out of the palace, stay in the palace, I'm bored." Yang Reform has not had a good life for a while, he has been nervous all day long, very nervous, and annoyed, ready to go out of the palace to relax.

"Yes, Your Majesty, but go to Liulizhai?" Wang Chengen asked in a low voice.

"No, let's not go to Liulizhai today, let's take a walk on the street first, I haven't been on the street for some days." Yang Gai said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave and maid will go and prepare." Wang Chengen agreed.

……

Not long after, Yang Reform had already left the palace, dressed as a son-in-law, Wang Chengen was a reliable old housekeeper, and then followed by "Jiading". Of course, how many "security" are around.

Beijing City, as the foot of the Son of Heaven, is still prosperous, people come and go, the river is endless, it may also be to avoid the sun in July, people take advantage of a cool time in the morning, to do what should be done, Yang Reform shook the fan, walking in the neighborhood of Beijing City. ,

But it didn't take long to go, Yang Reform felt the heat, even in the morning, the sun was not very big, but this trace of firepower should not be underestimated, Yang Reform began to regret that he shouldn't come out and walk around.

"Housekeeper, let's go, find a teahouse to rest, this weather is too hot......" Yang Gai complained, today a whim came out, but unfortunately, I didn't choose a good day.

Soon arrived at a teahouse, Yang Gengai chose a private room facing the street, and while resting and drinking tea, he admired the customs on the street.

In the sky, I don't know when, a few clouds floated over, covering the sun, and without the sun's patronage, there were obviously more people on the street.

Many small traders and hawkers took advantage of the rare opportunity to shout loudly.

Yang Gai shook his fan and watched the people living on the street, and he also felt fresh and relished.

"Big companion, that place seems to be a juggler, and many people are watching around it" Yang Gai's eyes lit up, and he saw a beautiful woman walking a "tightrope". Although far away, but also attracted by the figure and appearance of that beauty, this woman, has a completely different temperament from the Ming Dynasty woman, that is, independent, autonomous, capable, self-confidence, this kind of temperament, Yang Reform has seen some in Sun Liniang, however, this woman in red is better.

"Hui Gongzi, indeed, that place is indeed a juggling ......" Wang Chengen was also sharp-eyed, and saw the woman in red juggling at a glance, and if she promised halfway, there was no follow-up.

"Interesting, interesting." Yang Gai was thrilled by the woman in red, and beauties with this kind of temperament are rare in the 21st century.

"Butler, go and tell the juggling team that my son wants to see them juggle, let them move the stall over and move it to the teahouse, if it's good, my son will ......have a reward" A certain string in Yang Reform's heart was touched, and he couldn't help but say it.

"Yes, Childe." Wang Chengen agreed, and then asked the "family ding" to invite the juggling team.

Yang Reform's "Jiading" quickly left the teahouse and went straight to the juggling team of the woman in red, and then said a few words to the woman in red, and the woman in red looked at the position where Yang Reform was sitting......

Yang Reform and her were staring at each other, feeling that they were not lightly electrified.

The woman in red nodded at the "housekeeper" and seemed to explain a few words, and then the juggling team moved the stall and moved it to the teahouse.

Yang Gai looked at the woman in red who approached, and his heart was pounding.

The woman in red smiled gracefully downstairs and made a blessing to Yang Reform.
