"Actually, the little nephew wants to promote Brother Rusong as the chief soldier of Xuanfu and the rank of governor of the capital...... "The obedient official was unhurried, slowly threw out the bait, and even said to Li Rubai leisurely, "Brother Rubai, where is my tea?" ”

Where can Li Rubai still care about his jokes, with a sluggish look on his face, his eldest brother Li Rusong is now the deputy general of the Shenji Battalion, the hereditary commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the commander of the right mansion of the book, Jingcheng Fu, it sounds like a series of official positions, but there is a very fatal place in this, Li Rusong is not in Yanjing City but in Guangning City, which is enough to explain the problem.

There are many relatives in Yanjing City, Li Chengliang is certainly a great bull praised by the Manchu Dynasty as [unseen in the two hundred years of the National Dynasty], but this does not mean that the Yanjing martial arts family headed by the British Duke can afford the Tieling Li family, as for the defense of the Beijing camp, it is even more unlikely to fall into the hands of the Li family, Li Rusong now occupies just a title, and Li Chengliang also knows it, not to mention that the Beijing camp is not in the hands of his Li family, even if the court hands over the Beijing camp to Li Rusong, he will also play Zhang Jian's resignation, as long as he is a politician with brains, It will not be possible to control the military power of the Gyeonggi Strongland while controlling the huge border army.

Therefore, Li Rusong has a string of high-ranking official titles, yes, equal to no, but the general soldier of Xuanfu said by the obedient official, this is a hot position on the nine sides, however, the Ming system, the general soldier can not lead his soldiers to run around, he can only guard his own one-acre and three-point land, even if the chief soldier and his soldiers see that there are Tartars in the border next door on the boundary of their own territory, theoretically speaking, he cannot lead troops across the border, he can only watch, that is to say, he can only take charge of the troops and cannot transfer troops.

But if you add the title of governor of the capital, it means that you have the right to transfer troops, and the military general will be the chief military officer and the title of governor of the capital, which is similar to the title of civil official as the governor and the secretary of the military department, that is, the feudal lords have the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot, that is, the so-called [will not be subject to the order of the foreign monarch], and there are only a handful of generals who can add the title of governor of the capital.

Li Chengliang was immediately moved, the hand holding the tea cup trembled, and the tea bowl and the cup were shaken, and there was a jingle sound, as for Li Rusong, he looked at the good official with his mouth open, this kid ...... No, Feng Zhang...... Feng Zhang is only fourteen or fifteen years old this year! What were you doing when you were fourteen or fifteen? Look at what the other party is doing at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and he will be a little depressed for a while, this person is really angry when he compares with others!

And the obedient official was not shocking, and continued: "The little nephew also wants to promote Brother Rubai as a general of Shanhaiguan, and Brother Mei as a guerrilla general in Jizhen......"

With a snap, Li Rubai's hand was about to serve the tea cup to the obedient official when it shattered to the ground.

This is going to change the usual, Li Chengliang may not be able to scold two sentences, but at this time, Li Chengliang has nothing to say because the capital of the obedient official is too much, and he has nothing to say.

At this time, Li Rusong asked in a trembling voice, "Feng Zhang, what you said is not a joke?" Even if Li Rusong's eyes are above the top, under the combination of the good official's boxing, he is a little dizzy, and he can't be reserved if he wants to.

"Of course it's true, it's as real as gold." The obedient official couldn't help but make a joke, so he snatched the tea pot from Li Rubai's hand and poured himself a bowl of tea, and took a sip slowly.

He is willing to spend so much, there is a reason here, Xuanfu is one of the important towns on the nine sides, it is the Great Wall from Jizhen Sihaiye to Pingyuan Fort in Datong Town, because the general military officer is Xuanhua Mansion, so it is called Xuanfu Town.

The history books say that Xuanfu [Nanping Jingshi, the rear control of the desert, the left strangles the danger of mediocrity, the right embraces the solid in the clouds, and the border is heavy. ]

The good official dared to take out the general soldiers of Xuanfu, the magic is wonderful, Xuanfu is close to Jizhen, and who is in control of Jizhen now? His uncle, Master Chixia.

Nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, from the Yalu River in the east, to Jiayuguan in the west, on the northern border defense line that stretches for thousands of miles, Liaodong, Xuanfu, Jizhou, Datong, Taiyuan, Yansui, Ningxia, Guyuan, Gansu nine border towns, known as [Nine Border Towns], and Ji Town is very delicate in the position of the nine border towns, especially after Qi Jiguang became the chief military officer of Ji Town, the position of Ji Town is second to none in the nine sides.

Let's try to look at the military salary, Xuanfu's salary and silver history books record [the town's annual main soldier silver 120,000 taels, guest soldier silver 205,000 taels], and Jizhen, [the town's annual main soldier silver 165,7323 money and eight cents, guest soldier silver 633,479 two lines of seven cents and one centimeter], from the official point of view, Jizhen has 11 guards and 16 guerrillas, and Xuanfu has 6 guards and 3 guerrillas.

Put Li Rusong next to Master Shan Chixia, in terms of military strength, Jizhen's troops will win more, and Li Rusong has nothing to think about, even if there is, the obedient official believes that he can control it, not to mention that he will definitely add the title of [Zuo Du Governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies] to his uncle in the future, if he can add another [guarding Jiliao and hanging the general's seal], he will be able to lead the overall situation, and then Li Rusong will have to listen to Shan Chixia.

Of course, Shan Chixia is now just a general in Jizhen, temporarily acting as the deputy commander-in-chief, but with the emperor and the silver envoy, it is too easy to sit in this position and make meritorious contributions.

As for the Shanhaiguan generals and Jizhen guerrillas, they are all military generals under Jizhen, and they directly obey the order and Shan Chixia, so where are the good officials afraid? You must know that there are 109,390 horses and 41,321 horses in Jizhen, and the 100,000 army is a joke?

Therefore, this capital is scattered, and the obedient officials are not afraid that Li Chengliang will not take the bait, you say that you don't care about your wealth, what about the power?

Li Chengliang is now the chief military officer of Liaodong, if Li Rusong becomes the chief military officer of Xuanfu again, and Li Rubai is a general of Shanhaiguan, and he has been in this critical position for a few years, he will not be able to run away from a general military officer, and the Li family will become the largest general in the nine sides, Li Chengliang will not be moved?

For a while, there was no sound in the study, and the three fathers and sons of the Li family were all in their minds to quickly follow what the obedient official said, and only the obedient official sat down to drink tea slowly.

After a while, Li Chengliang laughed, "Okay, whatever the virtuous nephew wants, just ask." ”

The obedient official put down the teacup and said with a smile: "The little nephew doesn't want anything, but there is a great merit that I want to give to my uncle, but I don't know, if my uncle dares to ......ask for it," he said, put down the teacup and stood up.

Li Chengliang's study has a nine-sided map with very accurate proportions in this era hanging on the wall, the obedient official walked to the map, stretched out his hand and drew a long line on the map, "I Ming mighty and majestic division with friendship from Liaodong to Guihua City, on the way by the evil Tuban Khan attack, fortunately the soldiers with their lives, beheaded the Tuban Khan, and then entered the naturalization city, Shunyi Wang's wife Zhong Jin Hatun felt the education of my Heavenly Dynasty, self-liberation of the armor, opened the tea horse market ......"

The obedient official's cliché is smooth, that is to thank the future generations of the Celestial Dynasty CCTV, but in this era, no one can say such an official article, Li Chengliang and his son were dumbfounded when they heard it, Li Chengliang was even very ashamed, he was also admitted to the Xiucai fame, how to compare with this kid, not at all on the same level, look at him talking, one by one, the big guys of the court and the ceremonial supervisors, I'm afraid it's just such a lip service?

Especially this [beheading the head of the Tuman Khan], the six words are an understatement, is the Tuman Khan an ordinary person? Qi Jiguang did not kill the Tuman Khan, Li Chengliang did not kill the Tuman Khan, and even in history, Li Rusong was killed in the army by the plan of the Tuman Khan, and the Mongolian "Golden History Outline of the Source of the Khans" records the Tuman Khan [that is, the great position, the religion and classics of the treasures, marching in the old enemy of the Han State, in the Han land in the charge, the Nan Jiyi, who made a meritorious achievement, was rewarded......] But the obedient official was stunned to turn this great bull man in history into six words [beheading the head of the earth barbarian Khan]

Li Chengliang stared at the obedient official for a long time, and then asked him, "Do you know who Tuman Khan is?" It means that he is too underestimated by the Tartars, if the Tartars are so easy to kill, why should the imperial court bother to build the Great Wall!

The obedient official didn't answer, smiled and said: "With my uncle's 8,000 elite cavalry, plus the guards of Liaodong, it won't be a problem to gather an army of 50,000!" My Uncle Shan went to Jizhen to take office, and he was also lacking merit, it is not a problem to pull 50,000 troops out, these 100,000 troops, all paid double salary, pay silver, I have it, the silver is tripled, this silver, I also have ......"

He looked wealthy, then looked at Li Chengliang, and said slowly: "I don't know if my uncle wants to ...... the credit for leading 100,000 troops out of the fortress" As he spoke, he paused slightly, turned around and sat down, and gently tapped his fingers on the desk, making a clattering sound of fingers, which sounded like the sound of horses' hooves, "I don't know, how will the history books be written in the future......

At this sentence, the temptation was extremely heavy, and the breathing of the two brothers Li Rusong and Li Rubai suddenly became rapid and heavy.

Li Chengliang has definitely fought old battles all his life, and he is extremely excited to lead an army of 100,000 people, but as a chief military officer who has fought an old war, he also knows the difficulties of fighting, and it is by no means as simple as an understatement by a good official, but what the good official said was too tempting, and he was indeed moved. After pacing back and forth in the study for a long time, he sighed, "O virtuous nephew! Old man, I know that you have also led a large army in Fusang, and you must also know that when a large army goes into battle, especially such a long-distance attack, the morale of the soldiers along the way, the supply of grain and grass, and the goods that have been captured, there are all kinds of troops, there are 100,000 troops, but people eat horses and chew ......."

Lao Li's words, the obedient official understood, in the words of later generations, what is called fighting a war is logistics, this Ming Dynasty is not a magical world, pulling out 100,000 heavy cavalry at every turn, and there is no need for heavy soldiers and grain and grass, these 100,000 heavy cavalry can also charge anytime and anywhere, and the physical strength is kept full.

The obedient official smiled when he heard this, and said slowly: "Uncle, we can get local food!" "The so-called grain is to move troops to a place with a lot of food to obtain supplies, and the local food, in fact, this word is similar to the surname of Dasuo, and what is Dasuo? Euphemism for organized burning and killing of silver plunder.

If this word is heard by some Qingliu ministers in the imperial court, they will definitely spit on the obedient officials, there is no demeanor of the Celestial Empire, but Li Chengliang is from the Jiangmen, is it a matter of life and death, and if you talk about the rules, it is better for the two sides to send a martial arts master to learn from each other, and admit defeat if you lose, how good is this, it is best that this martial arts master is still a female surname, in that case, the fight is to pull your hair, tear your clothes, at most tear off a few private parts, and be able to smile with the male surname, wouldn't this be more decent, so Li Chengliang doesn't care, besides, it is also Tatar who dies.

Frowning, Li Chengliang said: "On the territory of the Tatars, where can they afford to raise an army of 100,000, if they can really afford it, why do they have to fight desperately to fight against the wall on my side." "That's the truth, what kind of wind and grass to see cattle and sheep, just sing a song to you, the grassland needs tea bricks, salt, ironware, these essential daily necessities almost have to be purchased from the Ming Dynasty, such as Wara several times to besiege Yanjing City, almost all of them are to persecute the Ming Dynasty [Tonggong Market], which sounds a little pitiful, but the Tartars are definitely not worthy of sympathy.

This is like the Opium War in later generations, the most fundamental reason for the Opium War is the huge trade deficit, European countries have to import a large number of tea, silk and porcelain from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but the European countries have nothing to sell to the Manchu Qing, all the silver has been earned, can only use opium to sell to the Manchu Qing, even so, can not make up for the huge trade deficit, the Manchu Qing again ban smoking, European countries do not start a war and the economy will collapse, is the Eight-Nation Alliance worthy of sympathy!

Therefore, sympathy cannot be abused, it can only be used in the country, and it is ridiculous to use it on the enemy, if it is sympathy for the Tartars, the souls of those dead people in the Ming frontier will cry.

Hearing Li Chengliang say this, the good official touched his hairless chin and thought, Li Chengliang saw that his action was old-fashioned, a little funny, and was about to speak, but the good official jumped up, why? I had a ghost idea in my mind.

"Uncle, that's okay." He smiled all over his face, and said in his heart Wild boar skin, wild boar skin, I will let you have a chance to lead the army, don't thank me, just thank your mother, "I see that Brother Tong is also dignified, he must have learned from his uncle full of strategies, why not let him take a female straight man to be a pioneer officer!" I will give the little nephew the silver, cut off a head, forty taels ......"

The most powerful head of the Ming Dynasty is Qi Jiajun, and there are records that can be checked is 100,000 heads, because Qi Jiguang gave his subordinates very little silver to the Zhejiang soldiers, but the head is extremely expensive, cut a head, thirty taels of snow-white silver, this is the annual per capita income of Suzhou, Nanjing and other metropolises with a population of one million, and a head is worth a year of hard work for normal people.

And the good official's mouth is forty taels of silver and a head, which immediately scared Lao Li, but he thought about it carefully, cutting 10,000 heads is only 400,000 taels of silver, according to the net worth of the good official, he really doesn't care, even if he cuts 100,000 heads, he can afford to pay it.

The more the good officer thinks about it, the more he thinks that his idea is wonderful, as the saying goes, kill a thousand enemies, hurt yourself eight hundred, what is it to spend a little silver? Doesn't Yan Dazhang often say that if you can solve a problem with silver, then it is not a problem, if you can use silver to solve the female straight, it would be really good.

As soon as he was excited, his brain spun quickly, and a lot of ideas came to him, "...... As for the grain and grass, we can let the merchants supply it, and the merchants will come when they smell the smell, as long as there is money to earn, are they afraid that they will not carry the grain and follow the army? When the time comes, the uncle will sell the cattle and sheep stolen from the Tatars to these merchants at half price, and presumably the wealthy merchants of the northern land will flock to them, and the Tatars will sell them at the same low price, if they do not have gold beads and treasures or beauties......"

Li Chengliang's eyes suddenly lit up, this idea is so wow! Li Rusong and Li Rubai looked at the obedient official with strange eyes, this kind of vicious idea, if it came from their teacher Xu Wenchang, it would not be unusual, but it was just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy who came up with it.

The obedient official talked endlessly, plucking Li Chengliang to let the female straight person be cannon fodder, of course, what he said to Li Chengliang was the three words of the pioneer officer, Li Chengliang was also tempted, if this is the case, it is not a problem to get together 100,000 soldiers and horses in his own hands, plus 50,000 soldiers and horses in Jizhen, 150,000 troops, Shan Chixia's qualifications cannot be compared with himself, this commander of the army must be himself, leading the 150,000 army to attack Mobei, thinking about it is full of enthusiasm.

However, Lao Li is also an old and cunning man, everything has to be thought about and thought in his head, so he paced back and forth, Li Rusong and Li Rubai brothers glanced at each other, and then Li Rubai opened his mouth and persuaded him: "Dad, this is a miracle!" ”

Li Chengliang didn't say anything, dragged the short beard of his chin back and forth a few times, and suddenly stopped, slapped the head of the desk hard, "Okay, that's it." ”

The obedient official immediately smiled on his face, "Congratulations to my uncle, congratulations to my uncle, in the history books of the future, my uncle's exploits must be a strong and colorful ......."

Li Chengliang made a decision, and Ningyuan City immediately started to operate regularly, and there was a sentence that the wheel of history slowly turned.

Lao Li has been in Liaodong for many years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the king of Liaodong, and he will leave Guangning City with a paper order, and the obedient officials will wander around to play, and he will definitely not be as good as Li Chengliang in this kind of thing, and professional things should be left to experts! Commanding the army at home, that is definitely the ability of two knives, and it is almost the same as being a mascot.

During this period, Tong Nuer Hachi also specially visited him once, with his younger brother Tong Shuer Haqi and sister Tong Xueyueer, and thanked the obedient officials without words, you know, he has not officially received the hereditary official position of the commander of the Jianzhou Left Guard from the Ming Dynasty, at this time Nuer Hachi, that is, a little ambitious young man, why should the female straight listen to him? Even if he is Li Chengliang's godson, that won't work!

However, the obedient official recommended him as a pioneer officer in front of Li Chengliang, and offered a huge reward of forty taels of silver for the first rank, so that those female straight people want to make money, they have to go through the pioneer officer Nuer Hachi, since ancient times, the wealth is moving, naturally there are countless female straight people to lick his Nuer Hachi's ditch, how can Nuer Hachi not be grateful to the good official? I really can't wait to kneel on the ground and call him father twice.
