"Do you know about the Sun Degong rebellion?" Yang He looked at Yi Cheng and asked.

Yi Cheng hurriedly said: "After the defeat of the Guangning guerrilla Zu Dashou reinforcement of Xiping Fort, he sent people to Beijing to report that Sun Degong rebelled, so that the reinforcements from all walks of life were defeated. After the officers and soldiers in Quang Ninh City fled back, some people said that Sun Degong defected to the enemy and rebelled. ”

Yang He smiled: "It seems that you are well-informed about doing this errand." ”

"Hehe, this errand of the lowly often deals with the messenger, and the people who come and go often know each other, and they do not hide anything from the lowly duty." Yi Cheng smiled.

Yang He smiled: "You will also tell those messengers what you know, or someone else, right?" For example, if someone tells you about me, you're going to tell them what I've been doing with you, right? ”

Looking at Yang He's smiling expression, Na Yicheng's heart suddenly suddenly struck for some reason, and hurriedly said: "How dare you tell others about Mr. Qian, not to mention that I don't know what Mr. Yang Qian has done." ”

Yang He looked at Yi Cheng and smiled, picked up the wine glass and said, "It's not that I haven't done anything, haven't you drunk wine together?" ”

Yi Cheng hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said: "Yes, Mr. Meng Qian can afford it, and he has drunk a few glasses of wine with Mr. Qian. ”

After drinking the wine from the cup, the post man was pondering how to leave, when suddenly the door was pushed open, and an officer walked in.

Yang He smiled when he saw the visitor: "The third brother came just in time, let me introduce you, this is the post man of the post house." ”

Saying that, he turned to Yi Cheng and smiled: "By the way, we have been talking for so long, and we haven't asked for the name of the honorable person." ”

Na Yicheng hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be respected, the humble surname is Zhao, Zhao Liangdong." ”

"Good name, pillar of the country." Yang He said with a smile.

Then he pointed to the person who came and said to Na Yicheng: "This is the guerrilla general Zhang Mingxian, my third brother." ”

"I've seen General Zhang." Zhao Liangdong said busily.

"You're welcome." Zhang Ming waved his hand first and looked at Yang He.

Yang He knew that Zhang Mingxian was asking why he was sitting with Yicheng and drinking.

Smiling, Yang He said, "Does the third brother have silver on him?" ”

Zhang Mingxian didn't know what Yang He meant, so he had to say, "Bring it." ”

As he spoke, he took out a large silver ingot from his bosom and handed it to Yang He.

Yang He took it and said with a smile: "Give me another ingot." ”

Zhang Mingxian had no choice but to take out another ingot and hand it to Yang He.

Yang He put two ingots of silver on the table and pushed them to Zhao Liangdong and said, "You can accept these two ingots of silver." ”

"This ...... How dare you ask for the silver of the thousand presidents. Zhao Liangdong said busily.

Yang He smiled: "What you just told me, to me, is far more than this bit of silver. ”

Zhao Liangdong hesitated when he heard this, and slowly put the silver into his arms.

Yang He nodded, this person is a smart person.

After thinking about it, Yang He smiled and said, "Where is Zhao Yicheng from?" Who is in the house? ”

Zhao Liangdong hurriedly said: "The humble position is from Funing County, with both parents at home, two wives and concubines, and three children. There are also two brothers and their families, and one younger brother has not yet started a family. ”

"There are so many people in the family, how do you make a living?" Yang He asked.

Zhao Liangdong hurriedly said: "There are still twenty acres of thin land at home, and the two brothers are also on errands in the county government, otherwise, relying on the humble position, where can they support so many people." ”

Yang He groaned: "Even if Brother Ling is also on an errand in the county government, but with so many people in the family, life must be stretched, right?" ”

"Yes, don't hide it from Lord Yang, if it weren't for the humble position that I could get a little money from time to time, I wouldn't be able to live at all." Sighing, Zhao Liangdong continued: "Actually, if it weren't for the difficult family background, how could he give up the imperial examination to be this post." ”

Yang He nodded, looked at Zhao Liangdong and said with a smile: "Zhao Yicheng, I guess you also heard that I have bought a lot of land in the past two days, how much land do you want, squeak." ”

Hearing that Yang He was going to give him land, Zhao Liangdong was stunned, and said after a while: "Lord Yang, if it is just for a few words just now, then these two ingots of silver just now are enough." ”

Yang He shook his head and smiled: "I didn't send you the land for these words just now, but for your future news, if you hear anything related to us in the future, tell me, okay?" ”

"This ...... The lowly status is lowly, and I am afraid that I will not be able to inquire about any useful information. Besides, I don't know what news is useful to Lord Yang. Zhao Liangdong said busily.

Yang He smiled: "Do you use my own judgment to judge." In this way, Zhao Yicheng, you don't care whether the news is useful or not, just write down the news you heard, and then send someone to send it to me. ”

Zhao Liangdong looked at Yang He and said, "Lord Yang, the local officials help the border army generals spy on the movements of the imperial court, once it spreads, it will be a crime of killing the head." ”

Yang He shook his head and smiled: "Am I a general of the border army?" I'm just a junior officer, and I just don't want to be framed. Besides, if you help me inquire about the news, will you tell others? Or will I go out and say? What are you worried about? ”

"It's a big matter, and I want to think about it." Zhao Liangdong shook his head and said.

Yang He smiled: "That's okay, Zhao Yicheng thought slowly." ”

Zhao Liangdong got up and arched his hand at Yang He, turned around and slowly left the room.

After Zhao Liangdong left, Zhang Ming said urgently: "Fourth brother, aren't you afraid that he will report to the official?" ”

"He won't report to the police." Yang He said with a smile.

"How can you say that he won't report to the police?" Zhang Ming asked first.

Yang He smiled: "You can see his behavior when he left." ”

"I don't understand." Zhang Ming scratched his head first.

Yang He shook his head and smiled: "This person didn't even say hello to you when he left, don't you think it's rude?" ”

"yes, he just gave you a salute and left."

Suddenly, Zhang Mingxian woke up and screamed: "Damn, this dog didn't take Lao Tzu seriously!" ”

"He deliberately didn't salute you, meaning to tell me that there can't be outsiders present for this kind of thing." Yang He said with a smile.

"Huh? Deliberately? Zhang Mingxian wondered.

Yang He smiled: "Then what do you think?" This person has been a post man for many years, I don't know how many officials he has seen, how could he do such a rude thing? ”

"Wait, you seem to be able to see through his mind at a glance, even if you react quickly, it won't be so fast, right?" Zhang Mingxian wondered.

Yang He smiled: "Because I was already testing him." Third brother, do you think I don't know that there can't be a third person present for this kind of thing? I just want to see if this person is a prudent person, and if he covets the land and money I give him, and immediately agrees to help me do things, then this person cannot be used. ”

Zhang Mingxian nodded silently when he heard this.

Waving his hand to signal Zhang Ming to sit down first, and poured Zhang Mingxian a glass of wine, Yang He smiled and said: "Don't talk about Zhao Yicheng, let's talk about you, I let people inform you that you only bring two hundred soldiers, why are you bringing so many soldiers?" To go to war? Or is it to show our military strength? ”

Zhang Mingxian smiled: "Aren't I afraid that there will be not enough manpower, bring more people, and it will be fast to move, right?" ”

Yang He looked at Zhang Mingxian and said coldly: "Those people have no hands or no feet? How did they get back from Kanwai? Can you help them move?

Yes, they are the families of soldiers, but the soldier's job is to train and fight, and we give them land and help them rebuild their homes, in the hope that they can settle down to train and prepare for future battles.

What, you don't think it's enough?

Third brother, let me tell you, those lands were bought in my name, and I can give them to the soldiers, but if they can't train hard and can't fight the enemy bravely in the future, I can take back these lands at any time and drive them out.

There is punishment and punishment, and grace and power are the way to lead the soldiers, blindly giving grace, and the soldiers only have a grateful heart for us, but no fear. ”

Zhang Ming scratched his head first: "When I saw you in Guangning City, the families of these soldiers were very good, don't you want these soldiers to settle down first?" ”

Yang He shook his head: "This time, that time." At that time, these soldiers had to fight to the death for their families, and it was easy for us to win back their hearts by showing favor to the soldiers.

Now that the families of these soldiers have been safely withdrawn, they don't have to fight for the time being, and they don't need to use small favors and small favors, and they must be gracious and powerful. ”

"Then I'll bring the soldier back." Zhang Ming got up first and said.

"Isn't it for the soldiers to scold them when they let them go back at this time? Come on, come here, stay outside the city for the time being. Yang He waved his hand.

After a pause, Yang He continued: "But you have to go back, and you have to go back immediately." After going back, he told the second brother to send out all the scouts in the army and arrest all the suspicious people around the camp. Then tell Sun Defu to load the silver taels into a cart and transport them to Xiangshan immediately, and I will send someone to pick him up.

Third brother, you remember, except for you and the second brother, Sun Defu and the soldiers of the personal guard battalion, no one is allowed to know about the handling of the silver two. ”

Zhang Mingxian wondered: "Is something wrong?" ”

Yang He said: "Just now Zhao Liangdong told me that the officials under Xiong Tingbi sent a letter to Jingli, saying that we had embezzled the military salary of Guangning City. ”

"Fuck, these shit." Zhang Ming slapped the table first and scolded.

"I have my own way to deal with this, but we have to prevent them from leading troops to inspect our barracks, once they find out about the silver, then some things will not be easy, so the silver must be transported." Yang He said.

Zhang Mingxian nodded, took a drink from the wine glass, turned around and strode away.

Just as Zhang Ming pushed the door first, Yang He suddenly heard a very slight footstep outside the door, and then heard the door next to him close gently.

Yang He was about to get up, thought about it, and sat down again.

Not long after Zhang Ming left first, he heard the door next to him open gently, and then there was a knock on the door.

Yang He smiled and called in.

Then the door opened, Zhao Liangdong walked in quickly, and then quickly closed the door.

Seeing that Zhao Liangdong was so cautious, Yang He smiled, pointed to the chair and said, "Sit down." ”

Zhao Liangdong arched his hand and sat down opposite Yang He.

Pouring a glass of wine for Zhao Liangdong, Yang He smiled and said, "You didn't expect that the silver was really in my hands, right?" ”

Yang He said a word, Zhao Liangdong suddenly raised his head when he heard it, and looked at Yang He in surprise.
