Galloping out of the barracks, blown by the cold wind for a while, Yang He gradually calmed down, and then thought silently.

It is expected that the imperial court will reward Luo, Luo has always been loyal to the country, if he does not get the reward, then no one is willing to do things for the court with all his heart, let alone die for the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, those officials of the Liaodong Economic Strategy Mansion would not put the charge of eating empty quotas and embezzling military salaries on Luo Zhengyi.

However, Hei Yunhe, Zhang Mingxian and Li Maochun were promoted, which showed that the imperial court no longer pursued the matter of eating empty quotas and embezzling military salaries. At the same time, it also shows that the officials of the Liaodong Economic Strategy Mansion no longer intend to use the means of suppressing the Xipingbao army to save their face.

The reason why these people made such a decision is likely that those factions reached a compromise on the loss of Liaodong by Wang Huazhen and Xiong Tingbi.

But why didn't the Ministry of War officially appoint himself as the general manager?

He is just a small person, and those bigwigs in the military department naturally don't take themselves as a small person in their eyes, why should they card their own appointment?

Could it be that Luo Cheng and Hei Yunhe did not recognize the credit they gave themselves?

Probably not.

Heiyunhe and the others have all been rewarded, so how can their own merits not be recognized?

Someone is clearly playing in the way.

Who will be in the way? Is it Meng Qiaofang? Does Meng Qiaofang have so much energy? Those people in the military department are not stupid, and they erase their own merits for no reason, isn't that equivalent to giving people a handle?

But who would it be if it wasn't Meng Qiaofang? Except for this person, he doesn't seem to have offended anyone.

After pondering for a while, Yang He suddenly remembered that after he returned to the camp, he verbally bumped into Xu Fang.

Xu Fang is one of the military officials of the Ministry of War, and if he presses a sin against his boss, he may really erase his credit.

Thinking of this, Yang He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

If Yang He didn't care much about his official position before, but when he heard that Hei Yunhe and others might serve separately after being promoted, Yang He began to care about his official position.

Because office means military power.

If Hei Yunhe and the others serve separately, then no matter who they are with, the number of troops they control will be reduced by more than half, and they have no position, and their name as the commander of the army is not justified.

Suddenly, Yang He's heart moved, and he was also the chief soldier of the regimental training in Funing County.

The duty of the regimental training general soldier is to train the villagers and protect the territory and the people, that is, they can recruit the villagers and train the army.

Immediately, Yang He began to weigh the pros and cons of training village soldiers.

The advantages of training the township soldiers are obvious, because the salaries of the township soldiers are borne by the local government and the gentry and wealthy merchants, and the command power lies in the locality, and if the military department wants to mobilize the village soldiers to fight elsewhere, it must seek the consent of the local government and the gentry and wealthy merchants, and then it must also seek the opinions of the village soldiers.

Because the township soldiers are not official soldiers, their identities are still ordinary people. If the military department wants to recruit ordinary people to fight, it naturally has to ask people if they are willing to eat the bowl of rice as a soldier.

That is to say, the village soldiers have a great deal of autonomy.

Of course, the limitations of the township soldiers are also very large.

Since the duty of the township soldiers is only to protect the locality, they cannot go out at will, and even if there is a war in the neighboring county town, they have to apply for it through consultation before they can be dispatched, which means that it is difficult for the township soldiers to be promoted through meritorious service.

However, for Yang He, the limitations of the township soldiers are a good thing.

What he needs now is a stable environment to develop with peace of mind, and if he is sent to work, it will be greatly detrimental to his plans. From this point of view, it is a good thing that Yang He did not get an official appointment from the Ministry of War.

Thinking of this section, Yang He's mood suddenly brightened.

The mood improved, Yang He's mind immediately became active, and he began to plan how to recruit village soldiers.

Just thinking about it, he suddenly heard a person behind him: "Big brother, Shanhaiguan has arrived." ”

Yang He turned his head to look, but it was Li Wei.

"Why did you come along?" Yang He said with a smile.

"I saw that my eldest brother seemed to have something on his mind, and I couldn't feel at ease, so I followed. Besides, the eldest brother came to Shanhaiguan to do business, and he couldn't be without someone around him. Li Wei said.

Yang He nodded slightly.

After thinking about it, Yang He said: "Li Wei, there is something to tell you, the imperial court posthumously presented the marshal as the governor of the capital, and the deputy of the world. In two days, you will go back to the old lady's hometown and give the old lady three thousand taels of silver. Also, you are a handsome person, if you want to follow the Luo family, stay in the Luo family. ”

Li Wei hurriedly said when he heard this: "Dashuai asked me to follow the eldest brother, that is, he handed me over to you, I will be the Yang family in the future, and I have nothing to do with the Luo family." ”

Yang He smiled: "Follow me?" Li Wei, do you know, my Qianzong has not been approved by the imperial court, I am just in the name of Qianzong, in fact, I am not an official official of the imperial court, if you follow me, I am afraid that there will be no profit in the future. ”

Li Wei shook his head again and again: "Big brother, even if you are nothing, I will follow you." ”

"Really?" Yang He said with a smile.

Li Wei said: "Big brother, I was adopted by Da Shuai when I was a child, and I have seen a lot of people with Da Shuai, but none of those people are as good as Big Brother, I know that Big Brother will definitely have a big future in the future, so I will follow Big Brother, even if Big Brother drives me away, I won't leave." ”

"With me you will suffer." Yang He continued.

"What are you afraid of hardship, what hardship have I not suffered? If it hadn't been for the handsome, I would have died. Big brother, don't worry, I can eat any hardship. Li Wei said.

"Follow me, maybe one day you will be killed." Yang He said.

"I've already died once in Xiping Fort, and if it weren't for my eldest brother protecting me in Quang Ninh City, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago. Big brother, my life was actually saved by my eldest brother, even if my eldest brother wants to rebel, I will follow you. Li Wei said.

"Good brother!" Yang He nodded heavily and said, "Big brother will live up to your expectations, and our brothers will make contributions together." ”

Urging the horse suddenly, Yang He shouted: "Go, enter the city!" ”

"Okay." Li Wei said overjoyed.

After passing through Xiluo City and entering the main city, Yang He took Li Wei straight to Liaodong Jingluo Mansion.

When he arrived at the gate of Jingluo Mansion, Yang He turned over and dismounted, arched his hand to the two soldiers guarding the gate, and said, "I bother the two eldest brothers to pass the patrol and press the adults, and say that Yang He wants to see him." ”

A soldier squinted at Yang He, and said lightly: "Lord Patrol, can you see it if you want to?" ”

"Presumptuous, this is my family's total president." Li Wei shouted.

The soldier sneered, "Mr. Qian? Don't say that a little Qianzong, even if the general and general soldiers arrive here, they have to be obedient, Qianzong is something. ”

Yang He smiled and said: "This eldest brother, it's Lord Liu who has something to see me, if you don't spread the word, once Lord Liu asks, I'm afraid you can't afford to be guilty." ”

"Lord Liu will have something to look for you? You're really not ashamed to say it. The soldier sneered.

Yang He smiled: "Believe it or not, it's up to you, so let's do it, since you don't pass it on, then I'll go back, these two letters are asked by Lord Liu, and I bother you to pass them on to Lord Liu." ”

Seeing that Yang He was so unpopular, the two soldiers were very surprised, looking Yang He up and down, and seeing that Yang He didn't look like a fake, the two couldn't help but beat a little drum in their hearts.

The two glanced at each other, and just now a soldier said, "You wait, I'll go in and ask." ”

Yang He hugged his fists: "Then thank you." ”

After a while, the soldier hurriedly ran out and said to Yang He: "The villain has eyes and no beads, and he collided with Mr. Yang Qian, and I hope that Mr. Qian is not strange." ”

Yang He smiled and said, "Does Lord Liu want to see me?" ”

"Please, the villain will lead the way for Mr. Qian." The soldier was busy.

Yang He nodded and threw the reins to Li Wei: "Wait for me outside." ”

Li Wei took the reins of the horse, glared at the two soldiers fiercely, and scolded in his mouth: "Dogs look down on people. ”

"Yes, yes, the villain has no eyes, this little brother comes to the concierge with the villain to rest for a while." Another soldier was busy.

Li Wei ignored him and led the horse to the side.

Yang He smiled and said to the soldier, "Let's go." ”

"Yes, Yang Qian always comes with the villain." The soldier was busy.

said that he took the lead and led Yang He into the Jingluo Mansion.

Liu Qinai was ordered to patrol Liaodong, which is equivalent to Qincha, and Zhang Heming naturally wanted to arrange for him to live and work in Jingluo Mansion.

In fact, the rank of the patrol press is very low, because the patrol press is generally held by the imperial historian, and the imperial history is only a seven-rank official.

However, the power of the patrol is very great, and it can compete with the three chiefs of a province (the political envoy, the procurator, and the commander envoy), and the officials below the prefect must obey his orders.

The soldier led Yang He through the two courtyards to Liu Qi's temporary residence.

Seeing Liu Qi standing in front of the door from a distance, Yang He hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and saluted: "Humble Yang He, I have seen Lord Liu, how dare I greet Lord Liu in person." ”

"Hehe, Yang Qian doesn't need to be polite, come, follow the official study to talk." Liu Qi said with a smile.

"Thank you, sir." Yang He said busily.

Liu Qi smiled and waved his hand, leading Yang He to the study.

Sitting down at the desk, Liu Qi smiled and said, "Have you written the things that the official explained?" ”

Yang He hurriedly took out the written materials from his arms and handed them to Liu Qi: "Please take a look." ”

Liu Qi took the materials, waved his hand and smiled: "Sit down, no need to be formal." ”

"Just stand on your feet." Yang He said.

Liu Qi smiled and looked at the material carefully.

After reading it, Liu Qi smiled and said, "Your handwriting is good." ”

Yang He hurriedly said: "This is a scribe's ghostwriting, where can I get the words of the lowly position." ”

"You're being sincere." Liu Qi said with a smile.

After a pause, Liu Qizheng said: "You said that you were ordered by Xiong Jingluo and Governor Wang to stick to Guangning, not to deceive the official." ”

Yang He smiled and said: "Adults can ask Xiong Jingluo and Governor Wang about this, and they just heard what General Luo said." ”

Liu Qi couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "You will shirk your responsibility." ”

Yang He shook his head: "Humble duty is not to shirk responsibility, but it is actually unacceptable to do humble duties." ”

"I understand that you are a smart man." Liu Qi said with a smile.

After laughing for a while, Liu Qi suddenly said, "Why do you want to protect Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen?" ”

Yang He didn't expect Liu Qi to suddenly open the lid, he couldn't help but be stunned, and after a while, Yang He said: "I don't know if the adult is the Donglin Party or the ......."

Liu Qi smiled: "This official is from Huguang. ”

When Yang He heard this, he immediately knew that Liu Qinai was a member of the Chu Party.
