Section 257 Happy to be a father
"What? Own people! β
The result surprised Yang Chao, and Zhang Dawei said that these lands were occupied by Yang Chao's own subordinates.
Isn't this nonsense, Yang Chao's soldiers all went to Haizhou to fight, how can they come back to farm.
After Zhang Dawei made it clear, Yang Chao understood.
It was not those subordinates who went to Haizhou with Yang Chao, but those subordinates who did not go.
At that time, Yang Chao decided to go to King Qin, but many people were afraid, such as Chen Baodi, who was already the general manager of the flag at that time, and many other soldiers, who all found various reasons and slipped away.
The number of such soldiers is almost two hundred.
Unexpectedly, they refused to fight with Yang Chao, and in the end, they unceremoniously occupied the wasteland encircled by Yang Chao.
"Good, good!"
Yang Chao even said three good, these people have no courage to fight, but they have a lot of courage to occupy an area, and the land occupied is occupied by Yang Chao.
Zhang Dawei said with a cautious face: "I don't know what the adults plan to do?" β
Yang Chao snorted: "What else can I do?" Land to stay! Fuck off. β
Zhang Dawei said with an embarrassed face: "My lord, this is not good, they are all their own people." β
Yang Chao said angrily: "I don't have such a person. β
Grandma, Yang Chao is going to play with his life and run away one by one, and when he occupies the land, he will say what he is his own person.
Zhang Dawei is really embarrassed, because when those people occupy the land, they have a lot of conflicts for this matter, they all want to occupy a good land, and even fight, of course, the real embarrassment is that there are also his Zhang Dawei's members, Zhang Dawei is the biggest officer when Yang Chao is not there, but there are many soldiers who befriend him and give him an offering. He's the umbrella for these people.
Zhang Dawei felt that as a protective umbrella, he should still work hard, and continued to persuade: "After all, it is also with an adult." β
Yang Chao snorted: "They also know that they followed me." When Lao Tzu went desperately, why didn't he follow. Lao Tzu did not deal with them for the crime of escaping. It's already a nostalgia. β
Zhang Dawei sighed: "I'm afraid that they won't give up, these lands have also been opened with a lot of effort." β
Yang Chao couldn't help but snort coldly: "It's better to dare to stab, this official's knife is not stained with enough blood." β
Zhang Dawei couldn't help but feel chills in his heart, and then he thought that he was an adult who was stained with the blood of tens of thousands of Tartars, and if he really wanted to win with him, he was really looking for death.
He really can't say anything, just ask those big-headed soldiers not to cause trouble.
Yang Chao didn't actually want to kill those guys. Even though they're all a bunch of oily guys who just want to take advantage.
However, Yang Chao also knows that it takes a lot of effort to open up the wasteland, and it is not bad that this group of people can open up these lands, and they have not been paid a year's military salary in vain, so they should be returned to themselves, as for them to make trouble, Yang Chao is still eager to do it, and the breath in his heart has not disappeared.
Not long after, after learning the news that Yang Chao had returned to the barracks. Another man came to them.
Huang Chong, the commander of the right division, was the officer who was the commander of the left and right divisions alongside Yang Chao, and now he is another general under Yang Chao, the general manager of Qian.
It's just that this boss is obviously not Yang Chao's henchman. He was an old officer, so he relied on farming in the barracks to make a living, and Yang Chao confiscated the land in his barracks, allowing him to open up wasteland outside the barracks, promising to protect the wasteland he had opened.
"Lord Yang, you have to call the shots for the villain!"
As soon as Huang Chong came, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Zhang Dawei looked embarrassed.
Yang Chao asked, "Lord Huang has something to say." β
Huang Chong said it at this time.
It turned out that he saw that Yang Chao was repairing the polder, and it seemed that he was indeed planning to open up the wasteland here, so he agreed to Yang Chao's conditions and gave up the military camp. And he took his sons and nephews and opened up a wasteland outside.
It was easy to open up a piece of land, but in the end, it was robbed by Yang Chao's people who were left behind. The excuse of those people was that the polder was built by their lord Yang Chao. The land is naturally their family, Huang Chong can't beat these people, and he can't afford to offend Yang Chao, so he complained to the top, but Yu Chengwu, the deputy general of the water camp, didn't stand out at all because of Yang Chao's name, and as a result, Huang Chong could only let his good land be occupied.
Because Huang Chong was the first batch to open up the wasteland, he occupied all the good land, but fortunately, there was a lot of wasteland, and he could still find other land that was worse to continue to open up the wasteland, but the breath in his heart was really unbearable, and now that Yang Chao was back, he immediately came to the door, just to ask for justice.
It's not that he didn't think that Yang Chao was biased in favor of his subordinates, but at least he wanted Yang Chao to guarantee that the land he opened out later would have to be kept for him.
Yang Chao nodded after listening: "Okay, you pick out your land and row it away immediately!" β
Yang Chao didn't care too much about those places, and gave Huang Chong in exchange for Huang Chong's cooperation.
Huang Chong was a little embarrassed when he heard it, he came with a bargaining attitude, but he didn't expect Yang Chao to agree, but he was a little weak-hearted, he actually didn't dare to rob Yang Chao's land, that's right, he thought that the land that was snatched by Yang Chao's men was secretly instructed by Yang Chao.
"Then, then Lord Xie Yang."
Although I don't know why this adult agreed to himself, there is no reason for Huang Chong to refuse.
Yang Chao waved his hand: "Don't worry about thanking me first." Since you agreed, it's time for you to do your job well. I want the boss on your head. β
Huang Chong thought about it, his general title, in fact, had already been thought of when he opened up the wasteland, as long as Yang Chao opened his mouth, he could resign at any time.
"The villain will write his resignation right away!"
Yang Chao nodded, Huang Chong resigned, then he vacated a total shortage, with his current strength, it is not easy to grasp it in his hands, just see who to give this to him.
After this bloody battle, a large number of Yang Chao's subordinates can be promoted, but there are not enough vacancies in their hands, and some people have to let them leave themselves and go to other military camps if they want to be promoted, which Yang Chao does not want to see.
This is the force in his own hands, and he must not give it up easily, but if he doesn't let his subordinates be promoted enough, he is suspected of delaying the future of others, and he will follow you to life and death, and as a result, he will not be promoted and make a fortune, doesn't this make the soldiers feel cold.
I have to say that Yang Chao finally began to think about problems with the concept of the Ming Dynasty, which is also a helpless thing, if you can't change the world, you can only adapt to the world.
Therefore, Yang Chao could only try his best to make enough official vacancies here in the Xinjiang Estuary Water Camp to install enough subordinates. If it is really not enough, it can only wronged some people, and he can let them command more soldiers with low-level official positions. But they should be appointed privately, and if they don't get it right, they will provoke criticism. When the power in his hands couldn't confront the whole country, Yang Chao didn't want to cause this trouble.
It's time to find Yu Chengwu, the deputy general of the water battalion.
Yang Chao secretly said in his heart, needless to say, the officers under his command are staring at Yu Chengwu's official position as a deputy general, and when the struggle between the DPRK and China is over, Yang Chao wants to put the title of deputy general of the water camp on his head, so that he can completely control Xinjiangkou here.
Yu Chengwu is one of the few Ming military attachΓ©s that Yang Chao admires, and this person sits in camp all year round. didn't go out to promise, this is what Yang Chao recognizes as a soldier.
Therefore, Yang Chao could easily find him, and he was in the deputy general's camp.
But it also made Yang Chao quite difficult to speak, because he had to make room for this person.
Yu Chengwu invited Yang Chao to a banquet, and the wine and food were quite sumptuous, even if he was a soldier, Yu Chengwu could not avoid making money.
With more than 300 sons and nephews, he occupied the cultivated fields of the largest battalion in Xinjiangkou and the large playground where the three armies used to train together, and the output was neither too much nor too little. A few thousand taels of silver a year is indispensable.
Accompanying him was Yu Chengwu's son, named Yu Jiye, a powerful young man.
"This is the dog's inheritance. Ranked 3rd! β
Elderly but not losing the demeanor of a soldier, Yu Chengwu, who was sitting very straight, introduced his son to Yang Chao cordially, and his eyes revealed a great appreciation for this son.
Yang Chao said politely: "Sure enough, it's a tiger father without a dog." β
Yu Jiye smiled a little shyly, stood up and thanked him, and there was a fanatical look in his eyes towards Yang Chao, which made Yang Chao quite frightened.
Yu Chengwu explained with a smile: "The dog admires the hero the most, and Lord Yang killed 10,000 in Haizhou, which really has the demeanor of Qi Dashuai back then." β
Yang Chao broke 10,000 with a posture of 600 to 10,000, and he really had the heroic style of Qi Jiguang to fight the Japanese invaders back then. However, Qi Dashuai is upright and tough, and he can kill thousands of people in single digits. That's a real skill, and Yang Chao is a little tricky. The flood had left the tartars with only one breath left, and it was just a group of fishermen fishing.
Yang Chao said with a smile: "It's really embarrassing, I don't dare to compare with Qi Shaobao." β
Yu Chengwu smiled: "Lord Yang is polite. Lord Yang shocked the world in this battle, and really showed the prestige of my Ming soldiers. β
Yes, Da Ming was really miserable against Dongyu, and he didn't win.
Yang Chao is really a little difficult to speak, and it is even more difficult to speak after being flattered by Yu Chengwu like this, Yang Chao decided not to wait.
"Lord Yu, Xiaguanβ"
As he spoke, he stopped again, and he really couldn't open this mouth.
Yu Chengwu waved his hand: "Needless to say, Lord Yang, this official has his own measure." Lord Yang's big victory this time, this official should indeed prepare a small gift. β
Saying and waving his hand, his son Yu Jiye immediately took out a box and handed it to Yang Chao in person on the table.
Yang Chao took it curiously, it was an ordinary cardboard box, and it was not stained, so Yang Chao opened it casually.
Inside is a hat.
Well, needless to say, Yu Chengwu's meaning is obvious, he wants to give his hat to Yang Chao, and he plans to abdicate and make way for Xian.
This made Yang Chao a little embarrassed.
"Lord Yu has such a heavy gift, how can this official be embarrassed to accept it."
Yu Chengwu laughed: "The official is old, even if this hat is not given to Lord Yang, how many days can he wear it?" simply sent it to Lord Yang, but it was not possible to get a favor. Lord Yang should be a nostalgic person, right? β
As he spoke, he looked at Yang Chao with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
Yang Chao's heart was sour, this is a real old soldier, his official position is really hard work, but now he has to use the official position he earned with his life to beg Yang Chao.
Yang Chao couldn't help but feel a sense of heroic twilight.
But he said calmly: "I don't know if Lord Yu has anything to explain to the lower officials." β
Yu Chengwu sighed: "The old man has three sons under his knees, and the eldest Jizong fought with the old man in his early years and died on the battlefield. The second step-ancestor broke his arm, and the old man could only do everything he could to make him a rich urn. This is a pity for the third child, the old man does not have an acre of land, and a tael of silver is left to him, so he can only rely on his own hard work. The old man had a reluctant request, hoping that Lord Yang would accept him as a righteous son and teach him a trick and a half, so that he would have something to eat in the future, and the old man's old bones would be able to enter the ground with confidence. β
Yang Chao couldn't help but shudder in his heart, admitting his godson, this Yu Jiye looks about the same age as himself, and if he can't get it, he will be older, and he will be able to recognize such a godson, where can he get by on this face.
"Lord Yu, how is this good?"
Yang Chao wanted to refuse, but when he saw the old soldier's poignant eyes, he couldn't help sighing.
"Alright! This son was taken away. I don't dare to say what the future is, if there is a bite of me, there will be a bite of him. β
Yu Chengwu was relieved at this time, and immediately asked his son to kneel down and give Yang Chao tea!
After a simple ceremony, Yang Chao had an extra son under his knees, and he hadn't married a wife yet, so he actually accepted a son, which is not considered a happy father.
But Yang Chao had to remind Yu Chengwu: "Xiaguan has to remind Lord Yu that Xiaguan is in trouble now." β
Yang Chao doesn't believe that Yu Chengwu doesn't know about his impeachment, people like him seem to often sit in the military camp, I'm afraid that a lot of news is better than Yang Chao.
Yu Chengwu said with a smile: "Lord Yang, this is taking the old man's test." has so much credit in your hands, to put it mildly, even the emperor can't touch you. Throughout the ages, no one has ever been convicted for meritorious service. β
Yang Chao couldn't help but think of Yue Fei, but it was only a flash, well, Yang Chao himself didn't dare to compare with Yue Fei, dare not compare with his achievements, dare not compare with his fame, and dare not compare with his bad luck.
Besides, everyone who understands knows that Yue Fei died in politics, not in military exploits.
Yu Chengwu added: "I am waiting for martial artists, in the final analysis, we still have to rely on military merits!" β
That's right, only military merits are real, Yang Chao couldn't help but sigh, this Yu Chengwu is also a smart person, no wonder he has been sitting in the water camp for so many years, and no one can defeat him.
Since he is a smart person, Yang Chao has to ask for advice.
"I don't know what the future of this official is in the eyes of Lord Yu?"
Yu Chengwu's finger tapped Yang Chao, tilted his head to the side and said to his son, "I'm still taking the exam." β
But then he said seriously: "This military feat is blind and out of place." But as long as the fist is hard enough, now is the time to make a difference. It's a pity, if Qi Shaobao had survived until now, it would be Yue Wumu's work. The old man also hated to be born thirty years later, fighting side by side on the battlefield with a hero like Lord Yang. β
Yu Chengwu said very clearly, Yang Chao's current credit basically can't let him ascend to the sky in one step, but Yu Chengwu is optimistic about Yang Chao's future, because Yang Chao's fists are hard enough, can it not be hard, and the lives of 10,000 Dongyu are endorsed there.
Yu Chengwu believes that there is no shortage of opportunities for meritorious service now, only the ability to rush to get credit, and this ability is what he values the most, so he is willing to exchange his official position for an opportunity to make meritorious service by Yang Chao's side and give it to his son.
