Chapter 135: Private Soldiers

PS: Thank you all for the monthly pass, moved!

What can impress Cao Wenzhao is his ambition.

Cao Wenzhao's ambition is to make contributions.

Yang He first showed his strength, and then told Cao Wenzhao that his ambitions were the same as his, the so-called like-minded, so that Cao Wenzhao would not reject him.

In the end, Yang He used righteousness to impress Cao Wenzhao, making Cao Wenzhao realize that only by following him could he realize his ambitions.

Of course, there must be skill in the conversation, and when to take the lead, when to change from active to passive, and when to change from passive to active need to grasp the timing.

If you are tough, it will only backfire.

Fortunately, after repeated contacts, Cao Wenzhao was finally impressed.

The next thing Yang He had to do was to find Sun Chengzong and ask Cao Wenzhao to come.

Yang He knew that Sun Chengzong was a person with vision, and if he waited for Cao Wenzhao to emerge, he might not be able to take his turn.

However, now Cao Wenzhao is still an unknown person, and his position is humble, and Sun Chengzong has no contact with a grassroots officer like Cao Wenzhao at all. can't even touch it, so naturally he can't discover Cao Wenzhao's talent.

Yang He only had the opportunity to recruit Cao Wenzhao under his command when others had not discovered Cao Wenzhao's ability.

The so-called opportunity must not be lost and never come again, Yang He naturally understands this truth.

After drinking two cups of tea and removing the wine in his mouth, Yang He came to Jingluo Mansion again.

The soldiers guarding the gate already knew Yang He at this time, and knew that Lord Jingliu had just met this person before, and when he heard that Yang He asked to see Lord Jinglue, he hurriedly reported to him.

Less. The soldiers returned. Then he took Yang He to the living room.

Just entered the living room. I saw Sun Chengzong talking in the hall with a middle-aged man who was nearly forty years old, wearing a black gauze hat and a five-grade official uniform.

Yang He didn't know this person, but Yang He knew that Sun Chengzong was very important to a person after taking over the Liaodong Economic Strategy, and this person was Yuan Chonghuan, the Liaodong military commander who wrote a letter to refute Wang Zaijin's construction of a new city in Shanhaiguan.

The person in front of him is only a fifth-grade official, and he is very close to Sun Chengzong, Yang He suddenly this person must be Yuan Chonghuan.

Yang He glanced at the middle-aged man and hurriedly gave Sun Chengzong a salute.

Sun Chengzong raised his hand to signal Yang He to excuse himself. Then he smiled and pointed to the middle-aged man and said to Yang He: "When the time comes, the old man will introduce you to you, this is Yuan Chonghuan, the military commander." ”

He said to Yuan Chonghuan again: "Element, this is Yang He, the director of the Ministry of Staffing. ”

Yang He hurriedly said when he heard this: "Xiaguan has seen Lord Yuan. ”

Yuan Chonghuan got up and saluted back: "Lord Yang is very polite. ”

After the two of them had spoken, Sun Chengzong waved his hand to let the two sit down, and then smiled at Yang He: "Is there something wrong with coming here?" ”

Yang He hurriedly said: "I left in a hurry just now, and I forgot one thing. ”

"What's the matter?" Sun Chengzong said with a smile.

"Xiaguan was only thinking about recruiting soldiers before, and he even forgot that there was still a lack of recruit training, and Xiaguan wanted to ask for a few manpower from adults." Yang He said with a smile.

"Old man, remember that General Li Maochun, who recruited troops with you, still has hundreds of veterans who have returned from Quang Ninh under his command, right? There are so many veterans, why do you have to ask the old man for someone? Sun Chengzong said with a smile.

Yang He smiled: "These veterans are not enough to serve as teachers. ”

Sun Chengzong looked at Yang He and smiled, "Oh? You seem to know General Li's subordinates very well? ”

Yang He said with a smile: "Xiaguan has fought with those soldiers in Quang Ninh before. I still know a lot about these soldiers. ”

Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "Although the old man hasn't been to your new barracks, he still knows a little about your new barracks." Most of the instructors you appoint have disabilities. Could it be that those able-bodied soldiers are no match for those remnants? ”

"My lord, the subordinate will not hide it from you, these soldiers are all soldiers of General Luo's soldiers, although these soldiers are disabled, they are all veterans of a hundred battles, and their combat experience is far beyond the reach of Guangning soldiers." Yang He said busily.

Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Luo's family soldiers have all been handed over to you." ”

"Yes." Yang He said busily.

"Hehe, when the time comes, then you didn't tell the truth to the old man. You have a total of 200 Ding soldiers in your hands, in addition to the remnants of the soldiers, there are more than 100 Ding soldiers, what have you arranged them to do? Sun Chengzong said with a smile.

Without waiting for Yang He to explain, Sun Chengzong smiled and said, "Say, do you have a fancy for any talent and want the old man to transfer him to your command?" ”

"You can't hide anything from adults." Yang He said with a smile.

After a pause, Yang He continued: "Xiaguan did find a talent, this person is called Cao Wenzhao, who is a sentry officer under Du Yingkui's deputy chief soldier, and Xiaguan wants to ask this person to come." ”

"Hehe, Du Yingkui's people, what are you looking for the old man, let's ask him for someone yourself." Sun Chengzong said with a smile.

"The lower officials are afraid that General Du will not let him go." Yang He said busily.

"When the time comes, you don't want the old man to give you an order to ask Du Yingkui for a sentry, right?" Sun Chengzong said with a smile.

Yang He was stunned when he heard this.

Hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Xia Guan understands, Xia Guan himself is looking for General Du to ask for someone." ”

Sun Chengzong smiled and waved his hand.

Yang He gave a deep salute to Sun Chengzong, and then arched his hand at Yuan Chonghuan: "The lower official retired." ”

Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Lord Yang walks slowly." ”

As he spoke, he got up and sent him off.

Sending Yang He out of the door, Yuan Chonghuan turned around and returned to the living room and said to Sun Chengzong: "Teacher, who is this Yang He?" The teacher seems to value him very much, huh? ”

Sun Chengzong shook his head: "Yang He is a student of Brother Zixian, Brother Liqing attaches great importance to him, and Brother Liqing vigorously recommended this person in front of his teacher before he came to Denglai.

For the division sent someone to understand Yang He in detail, this person is indeed very capable, once broke into the camp of Jianjian at night and set fire, rescued the trapped soldiers of Xiping Fort, and then suggested that Luo always put down the rebellion in Guangning, and even suggested that Luo always stick to Guangning and recreate the prisoners in Guangning. The most powerful thing is that he suggested a long time ago to build cities in Ningyuan, Jinzhou and Songshan and other places to prepare for the recovery of Liaodong in the future. ”

"This person is so powerful, why doesn't the teacher reuse him?" Yuan Chonghuan said strangely.

Sun Chengzong shook his head and sighed: "This person is so bold that he embezzled more than 100,000 yuan of silver in Guangning, not to mention, and when he withdrew his troops, he sent people to burn all the military rations hoarded in Youtunwei.

The previous time the imperial court sent people to investigate the Guangning city salary and the burning of the Youtun Guard's rations, he actually framed Han Chu's order as a spy of Jian's prisoner, and ordered someone to take Han Chu's order down on the spot, intending to blame Han Chu's life for the loss of Guangning.

After Liu Qi returned to Beijing, he tried his best to help him say good things, and asked the emperor to chase after Luo Cheng and reward Hei Yunhe and others for their merits.

At that time, the courtiers unanimously believed that Yang He was just a thousand generals who had not yet been formally appointed to dare to be so bold, and if he held a high position, he didn't know what he would do, so they all thought that he should not be promoted.

Who knew that he didn't know what way to entrust him, so he donated to the prison and then bought a position as a scholar, and then worshiped his first brother as a teacher, and then got a strong recommendation from Brother Liqing.

This person has such a high level of strategy, how dare he rashly reuse it as a teacher? But because of Brother Liqing's face, it was difficult for the teacher to ignore him, so he could only continue to select and train recruits and cast guns. ”

"Teacher, Yang He is so powerful, let him choose and train recruits, and the mentor is not afraid that he will make recruits his personal soldiers?" Yuan Chonghuan said.

Sun Chengzong sighed: "A person like Yang He, as long as it is a soldier under him, will definitely become his private soldier, not to mention that he chooses to train new soldiers, and the court does not allocate money to him, he pays for the training of soldiers for the court, and others can't say anything, private soldiers are private soldiers." ”

"I'm afraid that in the future, his strength will be strong, and it will be difficult to do it at that time." Yuan Chonghuan said.

Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this, don't forget that he doesn't have a military position now, and in a place like Funing County, he can't form a climate." ”

"Teacher, this person doesn't seem to understand the rules of officialdom, and he doesn't even wear official clothes when he comes to see his teacher." Yuan Chonghuan said.

Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "His fame is bought, where do you know the rules of officialdom, and I think he seems to have done it on purpose." ”

"On purpose?" Yuan Chonghuan said strangely.

Sun Chengzong nodded and smiled: "If the teacher is not bad, Yang He wants to tell the teacher that he doesn't care about any official position." ”

"Since he doesn't care about official positions, what else does he buy officials?" Yuan Chonghuan asked.

Sun Chengzong said: "With an official position, he is justified when he does things. ”

Yuan Chonghuan thought silently when he heard this, and after a while, Yuan Chonghuan said: "Teacher, the student thinks that this Yang He's plan is probably not small, and the student thinks that Yang He is afraid that he is not likely to obey orders." ”

Hearing this, Sun Chengzong silently looked at Yuan Chonghuan for a while and said, "Element, don't speculate, although Yang He's official position was bought, after all, he is a serious official of the imperial court. ”

"Yes." Yuan Chonghuan said busily.

Sun Chengzong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about Yang He, let's talk about you, when do you think it is more appropriate to build a city in Ningyuan?" ”

Yuan Chonghuan arched his hand and said: "Teacher, now the city defense of Shanhaiguan is being strengthened, and the student plans to go to Ningyuan to build a city after the city defense of Shanhaiguan is worry-free." ”

Sun Chengzong nodded: "If the Ming Dynasty wants to recover Liaodong, only by taking it step by step and Shanhaiguan is stable, can it gradually advance to Liaodong." You are doing things safely, and I am glad that you are a teacher. ”

"It's all about the teachings of the teacher." Yuan Chonghuan said busily.

……

At this time, Yang He had already found Du Yingkui's military camp.

Under the banner of Sun Chengzong, and he himself is still the head of the department, Du Yingkui didn't ask much, and immediately agreed to hand over Cao Wenzhao and his men to Yang He.

Cao Wenzhao and the others didn't expect Yang He to move so fast, and they were stunned for a while after receiving the order, before they woke up and packed their luggage.

Fortunately, the soldiers didn't have much to bring, except for luggage and clothes, and then weapons, so everyone quickly packed up and stopped, and then followed Yang He to Funing County.

After settling Cao Wenzhao and the others, Yang He asked Cao Wenzhao to continue to serve as a sentry officer for the time being, and took the soldiers of the sentry to train with the recruits.

Cao Wenzhao had no objection to this, Cao Wenzhao knew how he had arrived when he first came, and if Yang He was suddenly promoted, he would not be able to convince the public with his qualifications.

In the case of shallow qualifications, Cao Wenzhao must let everyone see his ability, so that when Yang He promotes him, others will not have a second word. (To be continued.) )
