Chapter Eighty-Six: On Paper
(It's nearly 300,000 words, the results are dismal, kneel down and beg for your support, there is support to be motivated, isn't it?) )
After thinking about it, Yang He asked, "Lord Xiong seems to be also from Huguang, right?" ”
"We're fellow countrymen." Liu Qi said with a smile.
When Yang He heard this, his heart suddenly brightened.
After considering the wording, Yang He said: "My lord, I don't know what the imperial court thinks, and I only know that if you want to stabilize Liaodong, only Master Xiong has the ability." ”
"What about Wang Huazhen?" Liu Qi asked.
"Governor Wang is not suitable for military affairs, but if he is allowed to handle civil affairs, he should be a powerful help for Lord Xiong." Yang He said.
Liu Qi couldn't help but be silent when he heard this.
After a while, Liu Qifang said: "You don't understand the situation in the imperial court, this is impossible. ”
Yang He said: "The lowly position knows that this is impossible, in fact, Liaodong has reached this step in the field, and it is useless to say anything, and the lowly position only wants to do its best." ”
"How?" Liu Qi asked.
Yang He said: "My lord, if you haven't been to Liaodong in person, I'm afraid I don't know how jealous Jian Lu is of Xiong Jinglu. We are in Quang Ninh, and only relying on Xiong Jinglue's handsome banner makes Jianyu dare not act rashly. My lord, the court dismissed Xiong Jingluo, and the happiest one was Jianyu. ”
"Then why do you want to protect the king?" Liu Qidao.
"My lord, I don't know which of the Chu Party and the Donglin Party is stronger or weaker?" Yang He said with a smile.
Liu Qi was shocked when he heard this, looked at Yang He and said, "You know a lot about things in the court?" ”
Yang He smiled: "My lord, is there anything that anyone who has a heart doesn't know?" ”
Liu Qiyan nodded silently when he heard this.
Seeing that Liu Qi was silent, Yang He said: "Actually, even if the adults don't say it, they also know that the strength of the Chu Party is not as good as that of the Donglin Party, otherwise, how could Xiong Jingliu be set aside by Wang Huazhen?" ”
Liu Qi shook his head, sighed lightly and said: "Shibaoka (Xiong Tingbi's number) has a bad character, even if he is also a member of the Chu Party, few people support him. ”
"Xiong Jingluo's personality may have some problems, but his military ability is beyond doubt, Lord Liu, I don't understand, what are those officials in the court thinking?
Is it the interests of the Ming Dynasty that are important, or are their personal interests important? For their own selfish grievances, they actually squeezed out a handsome talent who could stabilize the situation in Liaodong, and disregarded the safety of Daming. Yang He said solemnly.
When Liu Qi heard this, Huo Ran raised his head, and when he saw Yang He looking at him intently, Liu Qi smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect you to have such insight at such a young age." ”
"I don't know anything, I tell the truth. Just now, the lord asked why he wanted to protect Wang Huazhen, in fact, he only wanted to keep Lord Xiong, but if he didn't keep Wang Huazhen, Lord Xiong couldn't keep it. Yang He said.
Liu Qidao: "Wang Huazhen and Shibaoka are only dismissed now, and they have not been convicted yet. ”
"It's too late to be convicted, Wang Huazhen is insignificant to Daming, but Lord Xiong is extremely important to Daming." Yang He said.
After a pause, Yang He continued: "Actually, Lord Xiong is particularly important to the Chu Party, Lord Xiong is the governor of Liaodong, and he holds military power, as long as the Chu Party has military power, it can deter all small things." ”
Liu Qiyan's body shook violently when he heard this, and then shouted: "Don't talk nonsense!" ”
"I am humble and lose my words, and I hope that my lord will forgive my sins." Yang He said busily.
"Forget it, don't say these words again in the future, this time the official should not have heard it." Liu Qi waved his hand.
"Thank you, sir." Yang He said busily.
Looking at Yang He, Liu Qi suddenly said: "Yang He, you have told the official so much, do you want the official to protect you?" ”
Yang He shook his head: "My lord, if you want to be promoted, how can you take out the silver taels and reward those soldiers?" They will not spend money on the fields for the soldiers. ”
"That's what I said, with so many silver taels, it's not easy to buy an official position?" Liu Qi nodded.
Immediately, Liu Qi said again: "But you don't want to be promoted, what are you trying to do?" ”
Yang He said: "Lord Liu, Mr. Luo appointed the lowly post as the commander of the guard battalion, and when he left, he said to the lowly post that he hoped that one day the lowly function would bring the brothers back and avenge the brothers who died in the war.
But if you want to avenge General Luo and his brothers who died in battle, he can't rely on those soldiers now, and he wants to train a real elite division, and when the time is ripe, he will return to Liaodong. ”
Liu Qi sighed when he heard this: "It is better to get a hundred catties of gold, it is better to get Ji Bu Yinuo, this official understands why you want to distribute silver rewards to those soldiers and buy fields for them." ”
After thinking about it, Liu Qi continued: "However, your position is low, I'm afraid you don't have the right to control the training of the army, right?" ”
Yang He said with a smile: "The humble post is the regimental training chief soldier of Funing County. ”
Liu Qi nodded, looked at Yang He deeply and said: "A far-sighted general like you succumbs to the regimental training general, it is really a waste of talent, no, this official wants to protect you." ”
Yang He hurriedly said: "By all means, if the adults are to protect the lowly position, if the military department transfers the lowly position to another place, then what the previous work of the lowly post will be done in vain." The lowly position implores the adults not to protect, not only can not protect, but also try their best to suppress, it is best to arrange a low-level position for the lowly position, such as the general flag, the sentry officer and other small official positions. ”
Liu Qiyan pondered for a while when he heard this, and nodded lightly: "Okay, just according to what you say." ”
"Thank you, sir." Yang He bowed and saluted.
Liu Qi shook his head, sighed lightly and said, "No wonder Mr. Luo is so important to you, it is indeed a rare talent, it's a pity." ”
Yang He smiled: "It's no pity. By the way, there is something unclear about the humble position, and I ask the adults for advice. ”
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Liu Qi said with a smile.
"Lord Xu Fangxu in Wuxuan Shilang is a member of the Donglin Party, right?" Yang He asked.
"Yes." Liu Qidao.
Yang He then asked: "Are there any Donglin Party members among the people who impeached Lord Zhang?" ”
"Huh? How do you know? Liu Qiqi said.
Yang He sighed lightly: "It seems that Master Zhang is determined not to do this Liaodong Economic Strategy." ”
"Huh? What do you mean......" Liu Qiyan's face couldn't help but become solemn when he heard this.
"What does it mean to be humble, don't you understand?" Yang He said with a smile.
Hearing this, Liu Qi pondered for a while and nodded slightly.
Seeing that Liu Qi was silent, Yang He bowed down and saluted: "The lowly position is too talkative, if the adult has nothing else, then the lowly position will be retired." ”
"Wait a minute, you haven't given this official a detailed description of how Liaodong should be laid out in the future?" Liu Qi said busily.
Yang He shook his head and said, "My lord, what the humble post is talking about now is just talking on paper. ”
"After listening to what you said the day before yesterday, this official thinks it makes sense, how can it be said that it is just talk on paper?" Liu Qiqi said.
Yang He said: "My lord, what I said the day before yesterday was a bit wishful thinking, ignoring the movements of Jianyu. If the Jianyu army was stationed in Ningyuan now, then what he said the day before his post would be all useless. If you don't know the bottom line and talk about the layout in vain, isn't it just talk on paper? ”
"You really don't know the whereabouts of Jianyu? I'm afraid that what I said is not true, right? Liu Qi said with a smile.
Yang He hurriedly said: "I really don't know. ”
Liu Qi glanced at Yang He deeply, and smiled: "It's right for you to be cautious, after all, your position is low, and there are some things that you can't do in this position." However, if you want people to know, you can't do it unless you do. Do you think that the imperial court doesn't know that you sent someone to burn the 500,000 stone military rations placed in the right cantonment? ”
Yang He couldn't help but be silent when he heard this.
A few days ago, he told Liu Qi and others that the imperial court should send troops to defend Ningyuan and choke the passage for Jianyu to enter the pass.
The reason why Yang He has this certainty is because most of the people in western Liaoning have moved into the Guannei, especially the 500,000 stone military rations hoarded by the Right Tun Guard were burned by Zhang Mingxian and others.
However, the food brought by the captives themselves could not sustain the army in continuous combat, and if they could not grab food, they could only retreat if they could not get supplies, otherwise they would have to starve.
But this matter can't be put on the table, in Liu Qi's words, after all, his position is low, and there are some things that he can't decide in his position.
It was precisely because of this that Yang He said that he was not thoughtful and was talking on paper.
I don't want Liu Qi to directly point out that he sent someone to set fire to the military rations of the right guard.
Yang He's mind was in a hurry, and he quickly figured out how these things were leaked out.
The soldiers of the right guard would not say it, because their duty was to take care of the military rations, and they would not say that they assisted outsiders in burning the military rations.
It should be the common people of the right tunwei who leaked.
The common people of the Right Tunwei fled back to the Guannai, and before the officials settled them, they had to ask where they were.
When it is known that they are from the Right Guard, then you must ask the garrison of the army rations that have been hoarded on the Right Guard what to do.
The eyes of the common people are not blind, and 500,000 stones of grain are lit, how can the fire be hidden?
Then, with a little investigation, it will be known that the fire was set by the officials and soldiers of Quang Ninh City.
Sighing softly, Yang He was speechless for a while.
Seeing that Yang He was silent, Liu Qi smiled and said: "Yang He, you don't need to worry, although you have burned the military rations, no one in the imperial court dares to hold you responsible, otherwise, how can you stand here safely at this time?" ”
Yang He was stunned when he heard this, and then his heart suddenly changed.
Indeed, no one dared to hold accountable for the burning of military rations.
The reason is very simple, if these military rations are not burned, will they be left to Jianyu?
Whoever dares to hold accountable for the burning of military rations will be labeled as an enemy.
Thinking of this section, Yang He smiled bitterly, but he didn't expect that the power struggle in the court could help him out of the siege.
"But you are bold and unprecedented, and some people are dissatisfied with you, so they rejected your appointment." Liu Qi continued.
Yang He hurriedly said: "I understand my humble position, thank you for your advice." ”
Liu Qi smiled: "It's just that they didn't expect that they didn't give you a promotion, but helped you." ”
Waving his hand, Liu Qi continued: "Okay, don't talk about this, tell the official in detail what you think." When the time is ripe in the future, this is the basis for your promotion, and when the time comes, the official will protect you. ”
"Thank you, sir." Yang He bowed and saluted.
At that moment, Yang He talked in detail about how to curb Jianyu in the Ningyuan area.
Liu Qi listened and nodded again and again.
