Sun Chengzong is 60 years old this year, one year younger than Yuan Keli and Xu Guangqi.

Although Sun Chengzong is already in the age of sixteen, he has an iron face and sword eyebrows, a beard and a halberd, and his eyes are full of a murderous aura.

After Yang He saluted, Sun Chengzong looked at Yang He intently for a long time, and seeing that Yang He was not moved at all, Sun Chengzong's eyes suddenly softened.

"Your word is called Yingshi, isn't it?" Sun Chengzong said with a smile.

"Yes." Yang He said.

"Brother Zixian is your teacher?" Sun Chengzong asked.

Hearing Sun Chengzong call Xu Guangqi his first brother, Yang He was even more sure in his heart.

Smiling, Yang He responded, "Yes." ”

"You got acquainted with Brother Liqing, and you were introduced by Brother Zixian, right?" Sun Chengzong asked with a smile.

Yang He nodded slightly.

"The old man and Brother Liqing are close friends, and they also have great admiration for Brother Zi's knowledge, you can be valued by the two of them, it must be good." Sun Chengzong said with a smile.

"Meng Dashuai praised, and the lower officials spoke Meng Lang, and many of his opinions were false." Yang He said busily.

Sun Chengzong smiled, waved his hand and said, "Sit down." ”

"The lower officials don't dare." Yang He said busily.

Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "When you first met Brother Liqing, you didn't seem to be restrained, why are you so restrained here at the old man?" ”

"When the lower official and the Jiehuan Gong meet, they meet with the teacher's courtesy, the gentleman has a life, and the students dare not resign, but the handsome is the peak of the lower official, and the lower official dares to be presumptuous in front of the marshal." Yang He said busily.

Sun Chengzong looked at Yang He and said, "Do you think that the old man didn't reuse you and complained about the old man?" ”

Yang He smiled when he heard this: "My lord, Xia Guan has no such idea. Don't hide it from adults. Xia Guan simply didn't have the energy to do anything else now. ”

Sun Chengzong nodded: "The old man knows that you are developing weapons now. And the old man heard that your craftsman's workshop has made new weapons. ”

"I just made a few samples, tried them, and the effect is not bad, and Xia Guan is thinking of mass production." Yang He said.

"Where's the artillery?" Sun Chengzong said.

"The lower officer is going to make the gun and will be developing the artillery in the future." Yang He said busily.

Sun Chengzong shook his head: "I can't wait, when the time comes, you also know that the old man is rectifying the customs and needs a lot of artillery." Therefore, the old man wants you to immediately transfer manpower and hurry up to develop artillery. ”

"My lord, the development of weapons is not as easy as you think, in fact, the development of new guns by the lower officials is also to pave the way for the development of artillery." Yang He said busily.

"Didn't Sun Chuyang (Sun Yuanhua) already develop the Hongyi cannon? Let him build a batch of Hongyi cannons to consolidate the customs defense of Shanhaiguan first. The customs defense of Shanhaiguan is stable, and the old man can rest assured that he will build a city in Ningyuan. Sun Chengzong said.

"In that case, then after the official goes back, let Brother Chuyang make a batch of Hongyi cannons first, but it takes a lot of iron to make cannons, I hope the adults can help solve it." Yang He said.

Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "The old man will help you solve the iron problem, and the old man will allocate you another 10,000 taels of silver to fill the capital of the cannon." ”

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

Sun Chengzong waved his hand: "When the time comes, the old man reorganized the army last time." A large number of old and weak soldiers have been eliminated, and someone told the old man that there are still some remnants under your command that are still retained. In addition, someone told the old man that you had fraudulently claimed more than 1,000 vacancies, and the old man hoped that you would deal with these things immediately. ”

"Your Excellency, do you know where the remnants of the subordinate soldiers came from?" Yang He asked.

Without waiting for Sun Chengzong to answer, Yang He continued: "Those remnants of the soldiers have all experienced bloody battles in Xiping Fort and Guangning City, although these people can no longer fight, but their combat experience is not comparable to those soldiers who fled without a fight. The lower officials didn't understand why some people were keeping an eye on these veterans.

As for saying that the lower officials have fraudulently received more than 1,000 vacancies, it is even more nonsense. The salaries of more than 1,000 people were paid to the soldiers who died in the battle at Xiping Fort and to their families. In fact, there were more than 1,000 soldiers killed in the battle of Xiping Fort, and the deficiencies were made up by the lower officials themselves, and there were also soldiers killed in the battle of Guangning City, and the bereavement pensions of those soldiers were also paid by the lower officials themselves.

My lord, this money should have been distributed by the imperial court, but those officials of the imperial court did not care how the families of those soldiers who died in battle lived, if the families of soldiers died in the war did not have pensions, which soldier was willing to fight the enemy on the battlefield? ”

"The old man heard that the batch of money in Guangning City fell into your hands, but the old man does not intend to pursue this matter." Sun Chengzong said lightly.

"This money was taken from the rebels by those soldiers, and if it weren't for the bloody battles of these soldiers, that money would have become the military capital of the Jianju." Yang He said.

Sun Chengzong sighed and said: "At that time, the old man didn't ask you to hand over the money, but now that the treasury is tight, I really can't afford so much military salary." So in the next step, the old man should vigorously rectify the generals' military salaries, if you continue to receive the military salaries of the 1,000 people, how can the old man punish others? ”

Yang He was silent for a long time when he heard this, and finally said slowly: "Xia Guan knows, Xia Guan will recruit another 1,000 recruits as soon as he goes back, is this okay?" ”

Sun Chengzong nodded: "That's fine." ”

Yang He got up and saluted, then turned around and said goodbye.

Coming out of Jingluo Mansion, Yang He sighed secretly.

Sun Chengzong's strategic vision is there, so far, Sun Chengzong has done everything right, but unfortunately Sun Chengzong doesn't know that he did this to subdue the hearts of the soldiers, as the commander of an army, if he doesn't know how to impress the soldiers, if there is a war in the future, how to mobilize the soldiers to fight for him?

Yang He rode his horse slowly, and suddenly heard a person shouting, "Lord Yang? ”

Yang He raised his eyes and saw Cao Wenzhao walking over with a few sergeants.

Seeing Cao Wenzhao, Yang He jumped off his horse, hugged Cao Wenzhao and said, "Brother Cao, don't come to harm?" ”

Cao Wenzhao hurriedly walked in front of Yang He, bowed and saluted: "The lowly Cao Wenzhao has seen an adult. ”

Yang He raised his hand to help Cao Wenzhao: "Brother Cao is polite." ”

Cao Wenzhao turned back to a few sergeants and said, "Don't give Lord Yang a salute yet!" ”

Several sergeants hurriedly saluted, "See Lord Yang." ”

Yang He waved his hand and smiled: "Brothers, please be exempt. ”

turned around and smiled at Cao Wenzhao: "Brother Cao, why are you so polite to me?" ”

Cao Wenzhao said with a smile: "Lord Yang is righteous, if it wasn't for Lord Yang to help last time, the brothers' lives would be sad." We brothers are grateful from the bottom of our hearts. ”

"Hehe, Brother Cao is too polite, it's just a gesture." Yang He said with a smile.

"Five hundred taels of silver is a gesture for adults, but for brothers, it is a big deal to support their families." Cao Wenzhao said with a smile: "Next month, when the military salary is paid next month, the silver will be returned to the adult." ”

"Hahaha, let's get rid of it, a little silver, and I'll treat Yang as a drink for his brothers." Yang He said with a smile.

"This can't be done, the adults paid for the brothers' emergencies, the brothers are already grateful, and the money must be returned to the adults anyway." Cao Wenzhao said busily.

Yang He said with a smile: "I said a long time ago, this money is given to you, and if you want to pay it back, that is, you don't treat Yang as a friend." Kindness...... So, if you invite me to a drink today, the account will be settled, how about it? ”

"Your Excellency!" Cao Wenzhao said excitedly.

"Brother Cao, if you call me Lord again, Yang will turn around and leave." Yang He said with a smile.

"Brother Yang!" Cao Wenzhao hugged his fists heavily.

Yang He laughed: "This is like words, let's go, I'll invite my brothers to drink." ”

"Hehe, Brother Yang just said that he would let his brother have a treat." Cao Wenzhao said with a smile.

"Okay, please." Yang He said with a smile.

Cao Wenzhao laughed, turned back to a few sergeants and said, "You go back to the camp, call all the brothers, and toast Lord Yang's wine together." ”

"Brother Cao, you call all the brothers, I don't think you want to pass it." Yang He said with a smile.

"I'm borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, and it's also the money given by Brother Yang." Cao Wenzhao said with a smile.

"Hahaha!" Yang He laughed when he heard this.

After laughing for a while, Yang He said, "By the way, last time the soldiers were paid, you didn't participate in it, did you?" I've heard that several generals who have led the troubles have been arrested. ”

Cao Wenzhao sighed and said: "Fortunately, thanks to the help of adults, my brothers and I just followed suit, so we were not implicated." ”

"It's called an adult." Yang He smiled and lightly punched Cao Wenzhao.

"It's okay, I was afraid that you would be angry and make trouble with them." Yang He sighed.

Cao Wenzhao said with emotion: "Thank you Brother Yang for your concern." ”

Yang He smiled and waved his hand: "Brother Cao is polite." ”

Cao Wenzhao smiled: "Brother Yang, you seem to have something on your mind just now, I don't know what happened?" If he has a brother, open his mouth. ”

"Sun Jingluo looked for me just now." Yang He said.

"Ahh Sun Jingluo is in trouble with you? Cao Wenzhao exclaimed.

Yang He shook his head: "It's not that you are bothering me, but I just asked me not to receive the salary of the soldiers who died in the war." ”

"How can Brother Yang risk the salary of the army? What is the reason for this? Cao Wenzhao asked.

Yang He sighed and said, "I received the salary of the brothers who died in the battle in Xiping Fort, and the money I received was to give those brothers a pension. ”

Cao Wenzhao was silent when he heard this, and after a while, he said: "Those brothers can follow Brother Yang, it's really a blessing!" ”

After a pause, Cao Wenzhao continued: "Brother Yang, now that Lord Sun wants to pay the military salary according to the actual amount, where will you get the money to pay the families of those soldiers who died in the war in the future?" ”

Yang He smiled and patted Cao Wenzhao's shoulder gently: "Don't worry about this, I have other ways to get money, and I can't shorten the brothers' pensions." ”

"Then why are you still worried?" Cao Wen Zhaoqi said.

"What worries me is that the imperial court does not pay attention to the soldiers' pensions, how can the soldiers fight to the death? If the soldiers refused to die, how could they defeat Jianyu? Yang He sighed.

Cao Wenzhao nodded silently.

While talking, the two came to a restaurant.

After entering the restaurant, Cao Wenzhao was not verbose, and asked Xiao Er to immediately arrange more than ten tables of wine and food, and then beckoned Yang He to take a seat. (To be continued.) )
