Yuan Keli's words were too jumpy, and Yang He didn't react at all.

After a long time, Yang He realized that Yuan Keli was recruiting himself.

After thinking about it, Yang He said, "Where is Denglai?" ”

Yuan Keli said with a smile: "Shandong Dengzhou Mansion and Laizhou Mansion." ”

Yang He nodded lightly when he heard this.

I still know more about Dengzhou Yang He, he is originally from Wendeng, Wendeng was under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou before that, as for Laizhou Mansion, it must be in the Laizhou City area of later generations. Dengzhou and Laizhou together are the Shandong Peninsula, which faces the Liaodong Peninsula across the sea.

At present, the officers and men of western Liaoning have retreated to the Shanhai Pass on all fronts, and the southern Liaoning region has been completely occupied by the Jianguo, and it is undoubtedly the best choice to launch an offensive against the Jianguo in southern Liaoning by sea with the Shandong Peninsula as a base when there is no action by land.

In fact, the military strength of the Jianyu in the southern Liaoning region was relatively weak, and the Ming army relied on the superiority of the naval army to completely recover the southern Liaoning region. If the southern Liaoning region is recovered, and then troops are dispatched from western Liaoning, a flanking attack can be formed against Jianyu.

Therefore, in order to recover Liaodong, the role of the Denglai Theater is very crucial.

But Yang He didn't think about the Denglai area.

Although from the geographical point of view, whether it is safe development or promotion through military merits, Denglai is far better than Funing County, but Yang He's foundation is in Funing County, and those soldiers and people who are loyal to Yang He are in Funing County. Yang He could not care about the land he had purchased, but he could not care less about the soldiers and civilians who came back with him from Liaodong.

In addition, if Yang He goes to Shandong, what will happen to the newly recruited township soldiers? Township soldiers are different from officers and soldiers, and Yang He can't force them to go to Shandong with him.

Compared with those soldiers who came back from Liaodong, Yang He valued these township soldiers more, most of these people were sixteen or seventeen-year-old teenagers, and in time. The combat effectiveness of these people will be much higher than that of the soldiers returning from Liaodong, and they have great expectations for these young Yang He.

The most important thing is that Yang He has the full support of Zhang Fengqi in Funing County, how can the local government support him like Zhang Fengqi in Shandong?

After weighing the relationship, Yang He shook his head slightly: "Lord Yuan." You value it, but students can't follow you to Denglai? ”

"Huh?" Yuan Keli didn't expect Yang He to refuse.

Staring at Yang He for a while, Yuan Keli said: "When the time comes, do you know that after you arrive in Denglai, the old man can let you give full play to your talents, as long as you make meritorious contributions, the old man can be promoted to you immediately, and no one will hinder your promotion." ”

Yang He smiled bitterly: "Lord Yuan." Students know the benefits of following adults, but students really can't go. ”

"Why?" Yuan Keli asked.

"Lord Yuan, what are you going to do first thing after arriving in Denglai?" Yang He asked without answering.

Yuan Keli said without hesitation: "Naturally, it is to rectify military affairs, eliminate the old and weak soldiers, recruit the able-bodied, and train the troops. ”

Yang He nodded: "Yes, training the troops is the first priority, but training the troops is by no means a day's work. It will take at least half a year to see results.

Since it is necessary to train troops, what is the difference between training troops in Denglai and training troops in Funing County? Presumably, adults also know that the students are training the troops right now. Moreover, the students do not hide from adults, and the recruits recruited by the students are all sixteen or seventeen-year-old teenagers, and the students are confident that in two or three years, this army will be the most elite army in the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Have you ever thought that the imperial court can transfer you away at any time? If your unit is transferred before you finish training, isn't your hard work in vain? Yuan Keli said.

Yang He said with a smile: "The students have already thought about this problem that the adults said, if the imperial court transfers the students elsewhere and does not allow the students to lead the troops, then the students will choose to leave the army."

And I can tell adults bluntly. For those veterans of the Hundred Battles who came back with the students, the students will let them all be discharged. ”

"What do you want to do!" Yuan Keli said.

Yang He smiled and said, "I just don't want those brothers who were born and died with me to become cannon fodder for some incompetent people." ”

"In your eyes, are the generals of the Ming Dynasty incompetent?" Yuan Keli sneered.

Yang He shook his head and smiled: "My lord, the incompetent people I am talking about refer to those civilian officials who do not understand military affairs but want to dictate to the military. ”

"Do you mean that the old man is also a civilian official who doesn't understand military affairs, but he dictates to the military?" Yuan Keli said.

Yang He shook his head: "It can be seen from the seven strategies on the adult that the adult understands military affairs." ”

"Then do you think Brother Zi understands military affairs?" Yuan Keli asked.

Yang He said with a smile: "I have read the books written by Mr., and it can be seen from Mr.'s books that Mr. also understands military affairs." ”

After a pause, Yang He continued: "But after all, there are a few civil officials like the two gentlemen in the Ming Dynasty, and people like the two gentlemen who understand military affairs have not been reused, and the people who are reused by the imperial court are those who do not understand military affairs, such as our military department Shangshu Zhang." Lord Yuan, I will never let those veterans who have died for the rest of their lives be buried in the hands of such people in vain. ”

Yuan Keli couldn't help but be silent when he heard this.

After a while, Yuan Keli sighed lightly and said, "At the right time, it seems that the old man has underestimated you, you are not only talented, but also courageous." ”

"Brother Liqing, in my opinion, it's not just bold, it's just bold." Xu Guangqi said with a smile.

Yuan Keli sighed: "What Da Ming needs now is someone like Ying Shi who is both capable and bold. ”

Shaking his head, Yuan Keli continued: "When the time comes, the old man can tell you that Zhang Heming, the Liaodong Classic, will not last long, he asked people to impeach himself, and wanted to take the opportunity to leave Liaodong, but he didn't know that the emperor saw that he had done nothing after he arrived in Liaodong, and he had long wanted to remove him, and Zhang Heming would soon go home to retire." ”

"Who is the emperor going to arrange to take over the Liaodong Economic Strategy?" Yang He said busily.

"It's likely to be Wang Xiangqian, the governor of Xuanda." Yuan Keli said.

Immediately, Yuan Keli shook his head again: "But Wang Xiangqian is very old, I'm afraid he can't bear this burden." ”

"Why doesn't the emperor let the lord serve as the Liaodong Economic Strategy?" Yang He asked.

Yuan Keli smiled bitterly: "The old man is just a fourth-grade official, how can he be qualified to serve as the economic strategy of Liaodong?" Those who serve as Liaodong Economic Strategy are at least the second grade. ”

Yang He sighed softly when he heard this.

Yuan Keli waved his hand and said: "Don't talk about this, when the time comes, since you don't want to go to Denglai with the old man, then stay in Funing County and continue to train the army." However, the old man reminds you that you have to hurry up, once Liaodong changes its strategy, there will inevitably be moves, and it is impossible for you to continue to stay in Funing County. ”

Yang He nodded: "Half a year, students only need half a year to let those recruits have a certain combat power." ”

Yuan Keli smiled: "You are very confident, how do you train recruits?" ”

Yang He smiled and told Yuan Keli about his method of training recruits.

Yuan Keli and Xu Guangqi were both confused when they heard this, and they didn't know what the use of Yang He's training like this was.

The two glanced at each other, and Xu Guangqi asked, "What is the purpose of training like this?" ”

Yang He said with a smile: "This is the will to train soldiers, and an army with the will cannot be dragged or defeated." ”

Xu Guangqi and Yuan Keli nodded silently when they heard this.

"By the way, Lord Yuan, if you can recommend General Heiyunhe and General Zhang Mingxian to serve in Guankou, can you recommend them to serve in Xuanfu or Datong in those places where there is a horse city?" Yang He thought for a moment and said suddenly.

"What for?" Yuan Keli wondered.

Yang He smiled: "I want to make some money through the horse market." ”

Yuan Keliqi said: "Didn't you force the gentry of Funing County to pay food, isn't that much money and food enough for you to pay those recruits?" ”

Yang He smiled: "Didn't Mr. tell you that I want to develop guns?" The development of guns is not a small amount of money. ”

Yuan Keli said with a smile: "I heard from Brother Zixian, I didn't expect you to make guns." In this way, the old man can help you recommend it, but he can't guarantee it. ”

After a pause, Yuan Keli said again: "However, your current position is a bit unjustifiable in researching guns, and you have to have a name." ”

After pondering for a while, Yuan Keli continued: "Shanhaiguan has a military department, the old man will see if he can recommend you to take up a position in the military department, if you can be asked to raise military affairs, it will be convenient for you to do many things." ”

"What do you do to raise troops?" Yang He wondered.

"Hehe, to raise military affairs, as the name suggests, is to raise military affairs." Yuan Keli said with a smile.

Xu Guangqi patted Yang He's hand lightly and said, "The Ministry of Military Affairs does not have the position of military promotion. ”

When Yang He heard this, he suddenly realized that Yuan Keli meant to give himself a name, as long as he had a name, no one would find fault with him.

Looking at Yang He, Yuan Keli smiled and said: "The old man heard that the first brother said that you plan to develop a gun that can be fired without ignition, if the development is successful, it can greatly speed up the shooting speed, the old man has helped you so much, you have to show something, right?" ”

Yang He did not hesitate to say: "Rest assured, the gun has been successfully developed, and the students will provide it to the adults first." ”

Yuan Keli laughed when he heard this.

After laughing for a while, Yuan Keli sighed lightly: "At the right time, you understand strategy, tactics needless to say, the old man heard that Guangning City can hold on for a few days is your credit, you can also train soldiers, and can develop guns, the most commendable thing is that you still have the wisdom to know people, the old man must not let a talent like you be buried." ”

"The adults have won the award, and the students still have a lot of things they don't understand, and they still need to be mentioned by the adults and gentlemen." Yang He said busily.

Yuan Keli said with a smile: "You are right, you are really not thoughtful enough about many things now, especially in the officialdom." ”

After a pause, Yuan Keli said with a straight face: "At the right time, you have to remember that those officials in the imperial court have been in the officialdom for most of their lives, what have they never seen?" Do you think you can hide your tricks from them? You think you're using them, but you don't know they're using you too. ”

"Your Excellency is talking about Liu Qi and Liu Yushi?" Yang He exclaimed. (To be continued......)
