Chapter 13: Shocked! Wu Sangui entered the New Army
Yang Gaiai found that he was really busy, according to Wang Chengen, March is the time for Enke's palace examination. I also have to choose the topic, and I also have to preside over the palace examination, choose the champion, the list eye, and the things like Tanhua, etc.
For the first year of Chongzhen's Enke test, Yang Reform did not make any changes, Yang Reform Dream went back to Baidu to inquire, a little bit of information, knowing that the "Gongshi" selected in this meeting will be selected in the coming years, there are many big bulls, or very famous people, such as Shi Kefa is the Gongshi in this time, so Yang Reform has not changed the process of this test, basically in accordance with the trend of history itself. However, after the meeting, it will be the palace test, and it will be a headache for Yang reform.
The preparations for the new army have also been done similarly, due to the distance of the road, the speed of the people entering Beijing is of course different, and a batch has already arrived, and Yang Reform is not ready to wait, first start training, and then follow up.
In addition, Yuan Chonghuan, who he has always wanted to meet, will soon be in the capital, and Yang Reform still has a lot to talk to Yuan Chonghuan about, and many ideas about military affairs, government affairs, etc. outside the customs have not yet taken shape. I don't know how to talk to Yuan Chonghuan yet. For example, Mao Wenlong's problem and so on.
There is also a matter of money, almost there is no input, the auction of their own calligraphy and painting collection has just started, I haven't seen the money, the glass has just been trial-produced, as for the Wei case, after all, there are too many people, and it is not over yet, so there is no input for the time being, but there is a lot of expenditure, and the military salary is paid for 2 million taels at once, and then the glass is out of 100,000 taels, and there are customized grenades, which are also a steady stream of money.
In the future, it will be indispensable to fight, and war is indispensable to silver and grain, Yang Reform suddenly remembered that the grain in this Chongzhen year is much more valuable than silver, and the silver has not been found, and even the grain has not been found. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a lot less grain due to natural disasters. There are also a considerable number of big landlords, big businessmen, but also to find a way to get out, in addition to new crops, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, should be done soon.
Thinking of this, Yang Gai felt that his head was extremely big, and his brain was cracked.
Yang Gai suddenly found that there were not many reliable people around him who could give him an idea, make a plan or something. When I think of grain and the promotion of new crops, I think of Xu Guangqi. This famous figure of the Ming Dynasty should also let him show his head.
"Summons Xu Guangqi back to Beijing, and the official is reinstated." Yang Gengai muttered thoughtfully.
"Your Majesty, that Xu Guangqi?" Wang Chengen asked.
"Zhan Shifu, the young Zhan Shi and the Henan Provincial Superintendent of the Imperial History, and that Xu Guangqi?" Yang Reform said without a good voice. Yang Reform is very strange, he actually has some memories of Xu Guangqi in his mind, this may be the memory of the original Chongzhen, which is very profound, so he still has an impression now. As soon as I thought of him, I blurted out.
"It turned out to be Xu Zixian, Lord Xu, the slave understands." Wang Chengen agreed. Thanks to moving to Wei Zhongxian, many people are recovering, and recovering Xu Guangqi is considered to catch the tide, and it is not a big deal.
……
In the Wenhua Palace, Yang Reform and several auxiliary ministers discussed the government.
Yang asked them how they could make money. The idea of several auxiliary ministers was very simple, increase taxes and levies, and Yang Reform was shot immediately when he heard it. I am afraid that the tax increase and the increase in taxes will eventually be added to those people who are already very poor, isn't this forcing people to rebel? You take those bureaucratic taxes and see how much you can receive?
There was no one to discuss an idea, and Yang was frustrated. This is the first year of Chongzhen, this has just begun, and the situation is already so dangerous, how can I live this day!
Yang Reform was so irritable that he was impatient, so he ran to Queen Lori again, and came to Xuanyin in vain.
After organizing his own thinking, Yang Gai felt that the first thing was to train the troops quickly, the first and second thing was to get silver, and the third thing was to arrange the back road.
With this line of thinking, Yang Gai felt that his thinking was much clearer and his goals were much clearer. Don't worry about the rest for the time being, first train the new army well, and then talk about it, with a gun, your waist will be hard.
Thinking of this, I thought of Sun Chengzong again, and I don't know what happened to him.
"Companion, how is Master Sun doing? Let's take a look. Yang asked Wang Chengen.
"Back to Your Majesty, Master Sun has been training the new army recently. Your Majesty wants to take a look? ”
"Well, let's go check it out." Yang Gai replied, thinking in his heart: The military is the first! The power came out of the barrel of the gun, and the military didn't make any profits, and they actually wanted to play intrigue with those Ming Dynasty scholars, compete and compete, and mix in their messy things. I am really blind and ignorant. I'm afraid that in the end, I will have to go to the coal mountain for a while, thinking of this, Yang Gai felt a chill on his neck. The body actually shuddered.
The training ground selected by Yang Reform for Sun Chengzong was located outside the southwest corner of the imperial city, and the courtyard walls of several halls were opened, and some soil was filled in to make a camp, which was enclosed with a wall together with several houses that served as dormitories, and another gate was made as a place for entry and exit. Since there are only a few dozen people, it looks very spacious.
Haven't entered the yard yet. Then I heard the shouting from within: Turn left! Turn right ~ walk in unison, these familiar passwords of Yang Reform came out of this courtyard, and Yang Reform felt as if he had returned to the military training of his student days. It was a good time to be young and promising! How nostalgic.
Although Sun Chengzong didn't think much of the emperor's training manual, it was not good to discard all the emperor's manuals, and picked up some things that he thought were useful to practice, and the deficiencies were made up from the "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and "The Actual Record of Military Training".
I was about to push open the courtyard door and go in, but suddenly I found myself in and didn't know how to face these young men! Coming to an impassioned speech? Or do you want to have a colorful "show"? Or do you look at people in one place kowtowing to yourself?
Yang Reform still entered, no matter what, this new army must be trained, and it must be trained well, and it is necessary to give money to money, people to people, and what to give. Isn't it just to keep it from wilting when you fight with wild boar skin next year? Don't you just want to live a few more years? Is this also wrong?
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Sure enough, there was a man on his knees on the ground. are all young people in their teens and twenties, and this is exactly the "world housekeeper" recruited by Yang Reform. Excluding the old and the young, there are everything from the deputy thousand households, even the hundred households, to the commanders, and the disciples of the general army.
Yang Genghe first greeted Sun Chengzong: "How is Master Sun?" ”
"Thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, the ministers are still good." Sun Chengzong returned to Yang for reform.
When the people underground heard it, they were all envious of Sun Chengzong's trust in the emperor, and secretly thought that it would be good for him to be Sun Chengzong.
"Well, okay, let's all get even."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long." And all the people on the ground got up.
"Are you used to living here?" Yang Gai asked with a smile to a little hairy boy who was estimated to be thirteen or fourteen years old. The voice was as gentle as the sun shining in the winter and warmed people's hearts. Although Yang Reform doesn't know how to be an emperor, he can watch the news broadcast at 7 o'clock every day for one or two decades, and he has more than ten years of skill. The pro-people thing is still known.
The little hairy boy who was greeted cried excitedly, and whimpered: "Return, go back to Your Majesty, I'm still used to it, I'm used to it, I'm just a little tired." ”
"Hehe, it doesn't matter if you're tired now, Master Sun is strict with you, that's good for you, you know, 'sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime', now be strict with you, and when you come to the battlefield, it will save your life, understand?" Yang Gai smiled kindly and stroked the little hairy child's head.
"'Sweat more in peacetime, shed less blood in wartime.'" Your Majesty's two sentences are really golden and jade words! The minister must keep it in mind. Although Sun Chengzong doesn't like to pat people's ass, he respects these two sentences seriously.
"Hehe......" Yang Reform has nothing to say about Sun Chengzong's flattery.
He turned to the little hairy boy and said, "What's your name?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the small, the small one is called Lei Dayong."
"Well, Lei Dayong? Okay, you have to train well, you know? In the future, I will be a general. Do you know that you want to defend me, the Ming Dynasty? Yang Reform is inducing step by step.
"Yes! Your Majesty, I will definitely be a general for Your Majesty in the future to defend the Ming Dynasty. This little hairy boy named Lei Dayong replied to Yang Reform seriously. Well, now that a seed has been planted, I wonder if it will grow into a towering tree in the future? Yang Gengai thought so in his heart.
"Well, come on, do a good job, I'm optimistic about you." Encouraged by Yang's efforts to reform.
"Well......" got a firm answer. The little hairy boy called Lei Dayong was already excited and carried away.
Yang Gaiai let go of the young heart of this little child and continued to plant the seeds of "loyalty", and instead prepared to plant seeds for another "child".
"Hehe~ The people are tall and the horses are big, and they are quite tall! Young man, so handsome, what's your name? Yang asked another boy who looked fifteen or sixteen years old.
"Back to Your Majesty, the little one is called Wu Sangui......" This young man's words Lei Deyang Reform is scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, shocked! I was shocked!
Yang Reform is like a frozen movie, and the action stops in mid-air. It's a strange move. Outsiders don't know why, but in fact, Yang Reform's heart at this time has been turned upside down.
Wu Sangui! This is the number one traitor of the Ming Dynasty, the number one lackey of the Qing Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty who has been scolded in history! appeared in front of his eyes like this, and he was still a teenager. What's even funnier is that he is still a member of his new army. Yang Gengai couldn't help but admire the wonder of the world.
Half-ringing, Yang Gengai realized that he had lost his temper. Coughed quickly to hide his embarrassment. Asked, "Well, Wu Sangui?" But the son of Wu Xiang? For Wu Sangui's family, the first thing Yang Gengai remembers is his little wife Chen Yuanyuan, and then his father Wu Xiang, because Li Zicheng killed Wu Sangui's father and robbed his concubine Chen Yuanyuan, so he was angry and became a red face, and his father is also a famous figure in history.
"Back to Your Majesty, the little father is Wu Xiang, the chief soldier of Jinzhou." Wu Sangui is very confident, not shy or excited at all. The answer was also very appropriate.
"It's Jiangmen Huzi! Oh, do a good job, my right and left hands will be born among you in the future. In the future, the heavy responsibility of guarding and protecting the Ming Dynasty will also be borne by you, and you will also be recorded in history. "Yang Gai didn't know what words to use to inspire the terminator of the Ming Dynasty. O Terminator! I still have to motivate him to work hard, this world is really wonderful. I have to use a sentence that you will go down in history to be vague, as for whether it is right or not, it is not decent, and Yang Reform can't care so much.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I, Wu Sangui, will definitely take it as my duty to defend Your Majesty and shed the last drop of blood to defend the Ming Dynasty. In the future, I will be a general of celebrities and history. Wu Sangui was very energetic and said excitedly, the emperor actually knew that he was the son of Wu Xiang, the general soldier of Jinzhou, isn't this Jane in the emperor's heart? Now it can be developed, but I don't know that the emperor once thought that they wanted the lives of their father and son.
Yang Reform is not a taste, it is definitely meaningless to kill Wu Sangui now, kill Wu Sangui now, there will definitely be Li Sangui and Zhang Sangui in the future. It seems that the brainwashing education of this new army will be launched immediately, and it seems that the political commissar will be indispensable! How do I get this? Trouble, Yang Gai sighed secretly in his heart, there is still a big difference between this novel and the real world! Others will make a political commissar at once, and then the army will be able to fight, but what can you do? Who should be the commissar? With the commissar, the skin of the wild boar will not wilt?
What happened next, Yang Reform himself didn't know very well, and it was a bit muddy.
……
Yang Gengai walked out of the New Army training compound with a heavy heart. I don't know if I should take measures against Wu Sangui and his son. Or with the attitude of educating and cultivating Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui was educated and cultivated as a general of the Ming Dynasty, and expanded the territory for the Ming Dynasty. Suffering from gains and losses, they have both the mind of challenging history and the fear that history is too strong.
Why is Wu Sangui opposed? To put it bluntly, it's not that there is no military pay and no food. If there is military pay and food, not to mention who to defeat with so many troops, it is not much of a problem to hold Yanjing City, how high is Yanjing City? How difficult is the attack? As long as Yanjing does not fall and there is money for the soldiers, Wu Sangui will not listen to the emperor? Will you be willing to be a dog for a foreigner who has fought for decades and has a deep hatred of blood?
How did you get this without military pay? It's not that the elite scholars of the Ming Dynasty have made a fool of themselves! is selfish to the point of tearing down walls and selling bricks, but they don't know that as soon as the wind and rain come, the house that shelters them from the wind and rain will collapse. It's really a money obsession. Typical money, not death. Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that the emperor did not have strong means.
