Yang He knew very well in his heart that even if Meng Qiaofang could extort again, it would be impossible to get 10,000 taels of silver and 5,000 stone of grain in a small place like Funing County.
Yang He's original intention was to shock Meng Qiaofang, but he didn't expect Meng Qiaofang to agree with just a slight argument. Although Meng Qiaofang was quite resentful at the time, she was very calm when she left. This forbearance work, Yang He knows that he is far behind.
What Yang He didn't expect was that Meng Qiaofang actually sent the money and grain over in full. At this moment, Yang He knew that he had a deep enmity with Meng Qiaofang.
Of course, Yang He has no regrets about what he did, and if things can be done again, he will still do it.
Compared with the popular hearts he obtained, offending a Meng Qiaofang was nothing at all.
As a modern person who has studied Chinese history, Yang He is well aware of the importance of people's hearts.
Open the Chinese history textbooks, you will find that from the end of the Qin Dynasty, there have been large descriptions of peasant uprisings, basically all the medium- and large-scale peasant uprisings of all dynasties have been recorded, from the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprisings to the Xinhai Revolution to overthrow the feudal dynasty. Basically, anyone who has studied Chinese history can name several peasant uprisings and the names of several uprising leaders with their fingers crossed.
The most interesting thing is that after narrating these uprisings, our history textbooks will also summarize the experience of success and failure, such as why the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprisings failed, why the Huangchao uprising failed, why Zhu Yuanzhang's uprising succeeded, why Li Zicheng's uprising succeeded, and so on. If these experiences are expressed in one word, it is: those who win the hearts of the people win the world.
The uprising was able to succeed because it won the hearts of the people, and the dynasty was strong because it had the hearts of the people.
Therefore, after Yang He came to the Ming Dynasty, everything he did was to win the hearts and minds of the people.
In Quang Ninh, he distributed food supplies to the soldiers' families, and later distributed silver taels to the soldiers, and when he returned to Guannai, he bought land for the soldiers, all in order to win the hearts and minds of the people.
Similarly, dealing with Meng Qiaofang's Weisuo Army is also to win the hearts and minds of the people.
In fact, it was very easy to win the hearts and minds of the people at this time, and it was very simple to get the support of the soldiers.
Because the common people at this time are easily satisfied. Give them a piece of land, let them have a home to feed on, and they will be satisfied. And the common people at this time were very simple, and whoever was good to them, they were good to them.
The idea of soldiers is also very simple, they do not have any concept of a country, they do not understand the duties of soldiers, they only serve as soldiers to support their families.
It's useless to tell the soldiers about the righteousness of the country during the war, but you have to tell them that their families are behind them, and if they don't fight the enemy, the whole family will be ruined, and these people will fight the enemy with all their lives.
To put it bluntly, soldiers only have home in their hearts, not a country, and whoever is good to them and can let them support their families, they will give their lives to whomever they want.
Everything Yang He did was in the interests of the soldiers, so he quickly gained the support of the soldiers.
But support alone is not enough, Yang He also wants to let the soldiers know that as his subordinates, no one can bully their families, and he wants to give the soldiers a sense of security.
In fact, Yang He was using Meng Qiaofang's guard army to consolidate his position in the hearts of soldiers and the people, otherwise, Yang He would not have known that Meng Qiaofang would lead troops to plunder the people, and only sent more than ten soldiers to escort him.
Only sent more than ten soldiers to escort it, in fact, it was to lure the guards to take the bait.
Yang He's goal was achieved, especially after he ordered the hands of the guards who were molesting women to be beheaded, and the soldiers looked at him with not only respect, but also fanaticism.
Of course, Yang He also knew that he couldn't do too much, after all, he didn't have a foundation, if he did too much, Meng Qiaofang would have a fish with him, and the gains would outweigh the losses.
So after listening to Li Maochun's words, Yang He immediately decided to let Meng Qiaofang go.
Although this will still form a deep enmity with Meng Qiaofang, at least Meng Qiaofang will not turn his face with him for the time being.
After pondering for a while, Yang He looked at Cai Yong and smiled: "Cai Qianhu, are you going to deal with you in the future?" ”
Cai Yong said casually: "How do you know? ”
Then he said: "This official is only the deputy Qianhu, and the Qianhu is still the master of Meng Qianhu, and the official is just acting according to orders." ”
Yang He smiled: "Whether you follow orders or not, I hope you remember my words, I am the chief soldier of the regimental training in Funing County, and I don't want to see your Weisuo army in Funing County in the future, as long as we do this, we will not violate the river water in the future." ”
Cai Yong nodded, hugged his fists and said: "The official has already sent you the things you want, if you think there is no problem, then the official will leave." ”
"Cai Qianhu has gone all the way, and I will not be far away." Yang He clenched his fists and smiled.
Zhang Fengqi and others also bowed their hands and said: "Cai Qianhu walks slowly." ”
Cai Yong hugged his fists, turned around and left the county office with his subordinates.
After Cai Yong left, Zhang Fengqi ordered the official at the gate to close the door, and then said to Yang He with a smile: "Mr. Yang Qian, come, let's go in and discuss how to distribute this money and grain." ”
Yang He waved his hand and said with a smile: "The two thousand taels of silver from our border army, you can help me buy a batch of cattle and horses for the purpose of cultivating land in the spring, as for the compensation of your Funing County, it is naturally up to you to decide, I will not ask." ”
"What did Mr. Yang Qian say, without you, how can we get money and food?" Zhang Fengqi said with a smile.
Yang He shook his head: "I really don't want it, you have a lot of places to use money, you look at your county office, I don't know how long it hasn't been repaired."
Also, you adults work hard, you should also subsidize it, and there are also the people below, follow you all year round, don't lose them.
As for the rest, build bridges and pave roads for the common people, and then repair water conservancy, and you adults should always do something for the benefit of the people, right? ”
Zhang Fengqi and the others nodded again and again when they heard this.
At this moment, I heard the door slamming loudly.
Zhang Fengqi frowned, ordered someone to open the door, and then saw a soldier walk in quickly, and when he saw Yang He, the soldier walked quickly to Yang He's side, and whispered two words in Yang He's ear.
Yang He nodded when he heard this, turned to Zhang Fengqi and arched his hand and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I still have some things to do, so I'll leave first, and I'll leave you to worry about the resettlement of refugees." ”
"What's the matter? So in such a hurry to go! Zhang Fengqi said busily.
Yang He smiled and said, "Things in the army." ”
Zhang Fengqi nodded lightly when he heard this.
Yang He didn't say anything more, and walked out of the county office with the soldier quickly.
Out of the door, Yang He asked as he walked, "Who knows?" ”
"One from Beijing is from the Imperial History, one is from the Military Department, and the other is from the Liaodong Jingluo Mansion." The soldier was busy.
Yang He nodded lightly when he heard this, and said to the soldier: "Give me your horse, I will go first, you go to the post house to find Li Wei, I have asked him to prepare the horse." ”
When the soldier heard this, he hurriedly handed the horse to Yang He.
Yang He turned over and rode away.
Funing County is about 100 miles away from the Shihe military camp, Yang He spared no horsepower, galloped his horse, and it only took more than an hour to rush back.
Seeing a group of soldiers outside the barracks from a distance, Yang He frowned, turned over and dismounted, and led the horse to the barracks.
"Stop! Who? One soldier shouted.
Yang He looked at the soldier and suddenly smiled: "My name is Yang He, this is my barracks, who are you, why are you blocked outside the barracks?" ”
Without waiting for the soldier to answer, an officer was puzzled: "You are Yang He, President Yang Qian?" ”
"You know me?" Yang He said with a smile.
The officer shook his head: "I've heard your name mentioned. ”
Yang He smiled and said, "I don't know what this big brother is called?" ”
"Under Cao Wenzhao." The officer said.
"Where are you troops, and how are you blocking outside our barracks?" Yang He said with a smile.
Cao Wenzhao said: "We are the troops under the command of Lord Xiong, and someone from the imperial court said that you have embezzled the military salary of Guangning City, and we were ordered to monitor the military camp to prevent mutations." ”
Yang He nodded slightly, and then smiled: "Can I go in?" ”
"Yang Qian, please." Cao Wenzhao said busily.
Yang He nodded: "Thank you." ”
After taking two steps, Yang He suddenly turned around and threw the reins of the horse in his hand to Cao Wenzhao: "I snatched this horse from Jianyu, it's not bad, I'll give it to you." ”
"Why did you give me horses?" Cao Wenzhao wondered.
Yang He smiled: "I see that you are pleasing to the eye, can't I make you a friend?" ”
Cao Wenzhao shook his head: "When we meet for the first time, you will give me a big gift, and Cao will not dare to accept it." ”
Yang He shook his head and smiled: "Do you think I really see you giving you a horse?" As I said earlier, this horse was snatched from Jianlu, and you served under Lord Xiong, and you have fought with Jianlu in the future, I wonder how many horses you took from Jianlu? ”
Cao Wenzhao shook his head: "No." ”
"And how many prisoners did you kill?" Yang He asked.
"There are not many, in Liaoyang before, only sporadically sent troops to attack and disturb Jianyu." Cao Wen said.
Yang He said with a smile: "Then let me tell you, the soldiers in this barracks fought a bloody battle with Jianlu in Xiping Fort for two days, killing at least more than 1,000 enemies, and in a bloody battle with Jianlu in Guangning City for five days, killing more than 2,000 enemies and injuring countless enemies.
Brother Cao, as the Liaodong Army, when we were alone in the bloody battle with Jianlu, we didn't know how to reinforce them. Now that we have withdrawn, but you have come to spy on us, are you not afraid that the friendly army will be cold? You can guarantee that you won't need us in the future? ”
"Mr. Yang Qian, he is acting under orders, not to mention that he has a humble position below, and he can't speak." Cao Wen said.
Yang He smiled and said: "I don't mean to blame you, I just want to remind you that we are all Liaodong Army, and we can be regarded as brothers in Paoze, don't treat your Paoze as an enemy army." ”
Cao Wenzhao nodded: "I understand." ”
Yang He smiled: "Brother Cao, I heard that there are also people from Liaodong Jingluo Mansion today, I don't know who they are?" ”
"I only know two people, one is Senator Xing Shenyan, one is Han Chuming, and the other two don't know each other." Cao Wen said.
"Xing Shenyan? Han Chu's life? I think I've heard of these two guys. Immediately, Yang He frowned and pondered.
After thinking for a while, Yang He finally remembered where he had heard of these two people, when Luo always sent someone to Xiong Tingbi to report to ask for reinforcements, when the messenger came back, he mentioned these two people.
The messenger said that at that time, Senator Xing Shenyan urged Xiong Tingbi to reinforce Guangning, but Han Chuming tried his best to obstruct it, and finally Xiong Tingbi returned with his troops.
Smiling, Yang He hugged his fists at Cao Wenzhao: "Thank you Brother Cao for your advice." ”
Cao Wenzhao was stunned when he heard this: "Guidance? Pointing out what? ”
Yang He smiled: "Brother Cao will know in the future." ”
