Yang Gai is in a particularly good mood today, first, the gun has entered Beijing, and second, those fools and nobles are rushing to give themselves money, and there is nothing more worthy of joy.

When he thought of the group of fools depositing money in his family's bank, Yang Gai was like eating honey. My luck, it seems, is not bad.

Wang Chengen went out to do errands, and came back after a while, saying, "Your Majesty, Man Gui, General Man has arrived." Wang Chengen is also like eating honey this time, and the smile on his face has never stopped.

"See, summon at once." Yang was in a particularly good mood.

...... "The ministers, princes, and princes, all governors know the same thing, and the chief military officer Man Gui knocks on my emperor long live long live." ”

Yang Gaiai is the first time to see Man Gui, about thirty years old, looking, strong and powerful, about more than 1.8 meters tall, a simple look, wearing a crimson robe, a unicorn complement, wearing a black gauze hat, but a bit of Svenile. [It should be a black gauze hat, I checked the information, and the usual audience should be a black gauze hat, not a military general's helmet or something else. 】

"But Man Gui, General Man?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is exactly." Man Gui's loud voice replied.

"Very good, not bad, it looks like a perennial soldier, get up." Yang Gai is quite satisfied with this soldier, he doesn't look like a sissy or weak, it seems that he is also an honest and honest guy, and there is a big difference between him and Wenchen's kind of guy whose eyes are dripping.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Man Gui got up.

"Hehe, it's more than a Mercedes-Benz, General Man has worked hard." Yang Gai looked at this guy, this guy was killed in battle when the Qing army entered the customs for the first time, he was loyal and reliable, he was very satisfied with this person, and the next thing was to control this person.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's not hard, it's on the horse all year round, I'm used to it." Man Gui hurriedly replied.

"Hehe, General Man, how old is this year? Word what? Who is there? "Yang Reform began to care about ** again.

"Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... About thirty-five years old, the minister is a rough man, illiterate, and has no font size, he is from Xuanfu...... "Man Gui is very embarrassed, how old is this, he himself has not figured it out, since he can remember, he began his military career.

Yang Reform looked at this guy and felt a little interesting, this guy looked honest, he could do it from the prince and the prince of the first grade, I have to say, there is a bit of a legend, or in other words, the Ming Dynasty may not have given the lower class people a step to rise, or rather, Wei Zhongxian back then, they were not all bad things. Yang Gai has read this guy's information, and he can only sigh a few times about this, and now, he has to hold this guy in his own hands and become a knife in his own hands.

"Yes, since General Man is already the prince and master of my court, how can he not have a name? In this way, I will give you a font name, how about it? "Yang Gai began to recruit this guy.

"Minister...... Thank you, Your Majesty,...... The minister finally had a word...... "Man Gui looked embarrassed, this is uneducated, I don't know how much I have suffered, I don't even have a word, and I have to say that what a strange thing it is."

"I see that you are loyal to my Daming and brave in battle, so I will give you a word of loyalty, how about it?" Yang reformed.

"The minister has thanked His Majesty for his love, and the minister finally has a name, and in the future, others will not only call the minister's name...... Hehe...... "Man Gui was very satisfied, and the emperor was very good to him, so he blushed and had a thick neck and a very rude smirk.

Yang Gengai saw it, and also thought that this guy was interesting, the prince and the prince, I don't know whose idea it was, I don't even know a word, and the prince, I really want to teach the prince, wouldn't it hurt a dynasty?

"Man Gui, tell me about your title of prince and teacher, what's going on?" Yang Gengai asked curiously.

"Back to Your Majesty, in May last year, the Donglu besieged Jinzhou, and the minister and the Donglu fought a few battles, and then the Dongyu retreated, and the minister got the title of a prince and a prince...... "Man Gui is telling the truth, not exaggerating or concealing the truth.

Yang Reform is very satisfied, Yang Reform dislikes the most is the kind of person who puts gold on his face, and hates dishonesty the most, this guy is honest enough, honest enough, and is a good candidate.

"Hehe, I want to say, since you are the prince and the prince, if my prince is born, after the future, I will have to ask you to teach, you can't read, what can I do? Doesn't that mean that the crown prince after me is also illiterate? ......" Yang Reform and Man Gui joked.

"This ......, this ...... Your Majesty, this ...... "Man Gui is stupid, the emperor actually asked him to teach the prince to read and write, which made him sweat on his forehead, if he said that he wanted to kill, he didn't blink, he wanted him to write with a brush, it was more uncomfortable than killing him, left and right, and his head was full of sweat.

"Hahaha......" Yang Gai looked at Man Gui's naïve appearance and felt funny. This guy is really cute.

"Okay, Man Gui, I'm just joking with you, now my prince has not been born yet, and I don't know how many years it will take to reach the age of studying, so let's do it, since you are the prince and the prince, you can't read, it's absolutely impossible, I will introduce you to a good place, go to my master, Master Sun, follow Master Sun to learn and learn, first recognize all the words, and be able to read the Di Bao, otherwise, you, the prince and master, I'm afraid you won't be able to be a ......" Yang Reform is ready to send this guy to the Army Academy to supplement his knowledge, In addition, it is necessary to conduct systematic education and, in addition, to standardize the combat methods and will of the troops.

Man Gui's face was already flushed, and when he heard that the emperor wanted him to read and write, he felt even more aggrieved, and said, "Then Your Majesty, don't you want this prince and master?" The minister felt that this reading and literacy was really uncomfortable, and when he saw the words, he felt dizzy, and the minister would rather not have this prince and teacher, and he would not like to be aware of the words......"

"Presumptuous, the appointment of the imperial court, the crown prince and the prince are the supreme glory, how can you say that you don't want it?" Wang Chengen scolded, this guy's mouth didn't cover the bar, and he could even say something, Wang Chengen also saw that the emperor was good to this guy, and he was afraid that he would be the emperor's favorite general, so he also scolded him, and the right should be a reminder.

Man Gui immediately lowered his head, looking like I was wrong.

Yang Gengai was in a very good mood today, and he also felt funny, and said: "Man Gui, don't talk like this in the future, you know?" The appointment of the imperial court is not to say that you don't want it, but now I don't think I have heard of it, I want you to study, and it is also for your own good, you say, after that, I will write you a letter, and you will not read it, and give you a secret will, and you have to let others see it to know what it means, isn't this a leak of heaven? In other words, if you leak the secret of heaven and break something, you will be punished by God, you say, should you read and read? "Yang Reform began to flicker.

"Back to Your Majesty, this ...... This, indeed, should indeed be literate and literate, but Man Gui has been rude since he was a child, and as soon as he saw the square word, the minister's head was about to explode...... His Majesty ...... "Man Gui saw that the emperor was very good to him, and he spoke kindly, so his attitude softened a lot, how good this emperor is to himself!" There is also a secret will for himself, how good the relationship with the emperor must be, there will be such a thing! Man Gui was also confused in his heart, why did the emperor treat me like a rough man so well?

"Hehe, okay, Man Gui, Man Zhongming, you don't have to shirk anymore, this is the task I gave you, strive to know one or two words a day, in the next two years, you can also read the Di Bao, to this extent, it's almost the same, I don't want you to play poetry and songs, what are you afraid of? That's it, the master I found for you is called Sun Chengzong, you should have heard of it. Yang reformed.

"The minister obeys the order, but Your Majesty said, Master Sun Chengzong?" Man Gui asked cautiously.

"Exactly, he is my master, and he is very knowledgeable, if you learn from him, you will definitely learn quickly." Yang Gai knew that this Man Gui could sit in the position of the prince and the prince, and this Sun Chengzong's appreciation had a lot to do with it, and the relationship between Sun Chengzong and Man Gui was not ordinary, if Man Gui was a cow, then Sun Chengzong was the most suitable.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister obeys the order, the minister must follow Master Sun to read and write, and in the future, he will also be a knowledgeable person." When Man Gui heard that it was Sun Chengzong, he didn't say anything anymore, Sun Chengzong was his old boss, and he had the grace of knowing and promoting, and Man Gui admired Sun Chengzong very much, so he immediately agreed to come down and not worry about reading and writing.

"Very good, your troops, let's be stationed in Xishan for the time being, next to Master Sun's new army, I have already set up a camp for you, you are here, as long as you are stationed." Yang has long been ready to buy people's hearts. This kind of work has been done well in advance.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for Your Majesty, I will not hesitate." Man Gui saw that the emperor was so good to him, and he was also a little moved.

"Hehe, it's not about paying lip service, what I want to see is actual action, Man Gui, how is your troops, how is the military salary?" Yang asked again.

"Back to Your Majesty, the subordinates of the ministers all have fields outside the customs, and they generally live on their share of the fields, in addition, there are military salaries issued by the imperial court, in addition, there are often rewards of silver or something, but there is no shortage of food and drink." Man Gui said this, very proud, he is a person who can share weal and woe with his subordinates, never embezzle, deduct the silver of the soldiers below, for the soldiers, in the entire Ming Dynasty army, it can be regarded as quite good, this is where Man Gui is proud, so once the war is fought, the soldiers can follow him to life and death, and there is only a more capable army.

"Hehe, yes, I know, Man Gui, I have heard about you, you are not greedy for money, you do not deduct military salaries, you are brave in battle, you are really a brave general of our dynasty. I know that......"

Seeing that the emperor talked about his pride, Man Gui also looked proud, he could do it like this, he dared to say that no one outside the entire pass could do better than him. Therefore, his troops are the most capable of fighting outside the gates, and this is what he is most proud of.

"Hehe, settle down first, familiarize yourself with the place, and in a few days, I still have important things to discuss with you, these days, let's relax first." Yang Reform does have a lot of things to discuss with Man Gui, such as cleaning up many disobedient Mongolians outside the Guan, weakening the strength of Mongolia, and letting those Mongolian tribes who have taken refuge in wild boar skins know that the consequences of offending the Ming Dynasty are very serious, but this has to be discussed with Sun Chengzong in order to come up with a specific plan.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Hehe, no thanks, these days, let the soldiers rest well, and I will reward you with 50,000 taels of silver, which is considered the cost of these days. Hehe, after that, it will be hard training and fighting, and there is no such idle time. Yang reformed and said, after these days, in addition to hard training, it is a non-stop battle.

"Your Majesty Longen, however, the minister still has the silver that His Majesty gave last time, and it hasn't been used up yet......" Man Gui is a very honest guy, and he directly said that the opening fee given a while ago has not been used up, and this time he will give it again? Man Gui felt embarrassed, the so-called reactive is not punished.

"Hehe, don't shirk, these days, divide the money, let the soldiers have a good walk around the capital, take a rest, and after a while, I will use you a lot, when the time comes, there will be no such leisure, and you don't shout bitterly and tired."

"In this ......, the minister obeys orders, the minister can bear hardships and stand hard work, and he will never shout tired." Man Gui saw that the emperor insisted on giving it, and he didn't shirk it, anyway, when the time comes, he will fight for the emperor and kill more enemies.

"Man Gui, I heard that you are very familiar with Mongolia, right?" Yang Gengai asked, this time, he asked some facts.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's not the minister, when it comes to Mongolia, there is no one who knows more than the minister, the minister was originally a Mongolian, and he entered the pass when he was young, so the minister knows Mongolia well." Speaking of this, Man Gui came to strength, and with the experience of dealing with Mongolia, he Man Gui could say that there was no second person in the Ming Dynasty except for him.

"Oh, huh, huh? Then tell me about the situation in Mongolia and how you dealt with Mongolia. "Yang Reform is very interested in this, before he gathered a Mongolian tribe, as the Imperial Army, as his own eyes and ears, and also sent Jinyi Guard, now, it is the lack of such a key executor, to suppress people, with Mangui, many of his plans can be implemented, for example, to use Mangui to suppress the Mongolian Imperial Army, sweep away the disobedient tribes in Mongolia, to assist their caravans in Mongolia to collect wool, with glass for wool or something.

Seeing that the emperor asked about his pride, Man Gui said happily: "Back to Your Majesty, in Mongolia, there is only one thing, that is, whoever has a big fist will listen to whom, whoever is weak, who will be bullied, whoever is more ruthless, who can live, therefore, the minister to deal with the Mongols, there is only one move, more ruthless than them, more powerful than them, more capable than them, whoever doesn't listen will kill whom, that's it,......" Man Gui put his most proud things, in a few simple words, said clearly, after speaking, proud.

It seems that on the grassland, it is the standard law of the jungle! Yang Gai thought about it, and sure enough, on the Mongolian side, just Huairou, just being good to him, it's useless, you have to use a knife, you have to see whose knife is more powerful, you have to see whose heart is more ruthless, since this is the case, then don't blame me for being cruel to the Mongols.

"Oh, yes, go on." Yang Gai also got some experience from Man Gui's mouth, for this Mongolian, can not be too good, can not be soft-hearted, only kill, only kill to persuade the Mongols.

“…… Back to Your Majesty, no, this is the minister's experience in dealing with Mongolia. There really isn't any. The ministers all used this method to handle Mongolian affairs. Man Gui looked embarrassed and said very honestly.

"......" Yang Reform was speechless, this is really an honest person, and he is also honest and cute.

"Then I ask you, what would you do if I asked you to deal with the Mongols now?" Yang asked again.

Man Gui scratched his head, only to find that there was a black gauze hat on his head, he was very unaccustomed to it, he lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, if you want to deal with the Mongols now, it is simple, just see that tribe is disobedient, and then kill it, and cut off the heads of those Jinong, Nuoyan, and Taiji, they will not dare to be disobedient, it's as simple as that......"

Yang Reform was speechless, it seems that this Mangui's brain is really simple, to put it simply, it is just one word, kill.

Yang Reform was helpless, smiled bitterly in his heart, and said: "That Mangui, now, on the grassland, who needs to be killed, who is disrespectful to me?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, this, the minister knows, now, according to the minister's view, there are many tribes that are unfavorable to our dynasty, the Inner Khalkha tribes, the Horqin tribes, the Harashen tribes, the Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar tribe, many tribes are not good for our dynasty, speaking of which, they should all ......be killed" As soon as Man Gui talked about the things on the grassland, he said it very smoothly, as if it was as natural as eating.

However, Yang Reform had a headache when he heard it, and Yang Reform couldn't tell who belonged to whom these tribes, who was good with the Ming Dynasty, and who had a bad relationship with the Ming Dynasty.

"Wait, Man Gui, I don't understand these tribes you said, you can understand it." Yang Gengai listened to the names of those Mongolian tribes, and he was confused, which was more difficult to understand than those classical Chinese, and he had no clue.

Seeing that the emperor also had a headache, Man Gui also felt funny, smirked, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, this Lin Dan Khan of Chahar is the Khan of the grassland, the largest tribe, probably outside the border wall of my Datong Mansion; This Halashen is also known as Karaqin, and the Duoyan Sanwei that I often say belongs to Karaqin, which is north of the border wall of Jizhen in my court; Horqin is north of Quang Ninh, and east of it is Dongyu...... "Mangui is very clear about this Mongolian matter, and he said it very smoothly.

However, Yang Reform suffered when he heard it, and in recent times, he has only focused on internal affairs, has been making money, and has no time to care about matters outside the border.

"Wait, this, Man Gui, let's talk about it later, let's stop here today......" Yang Reform was dizzy when he heard it, and he didn't understand the relationship between the subordinates of these tribes, their geographical distribution, and the wild boar skin of the Ming Dynasty.

Man Gui is a straight person, and when he saw that the emperor also had a headache, he smiled innocently.

Yang Gengai saw that this unprepared conversation could not continue, so he had to end this conversation, this, you have to be familiar with the information on the Mongolian side to be qualified to talk about things! After thinking about it, he said, "Companion, bring my binoculars, handcuffs, and sabers." "Yang Reform has prepared a lot of things for this guy.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen agreed.

…… After a while, Wang Chengen brought the three things that the emperor said, namely a silver telescope, a silver-inlaid handcuff, and a saber, the saber is the standard equipment of Jinyiwei, Xiuchun knife, the Xiuchun knife for Man Gui, is the top grade of Xiuchun knife.

"Man Gui, this is a telescope I gave you, I wish you can observe farther when you are fighting, understand the enemy's movements earlier, and anticipate the enemy's opportunities." Yang Gai said, stepped off the dragon chair, and gave the telescope to Man Gui very formally.

Man Gui hurriedly knelt down on one knee, raised his hand over his head, took the telescope given by the emperor, and then thanked him.

"Man Gui, this is the handcuff I gave you, I wish you to be like this handcuff, with strong firepower, which can penetrate the enemy and defeat the enemy." Yang Gaiai handed the handcuff to Man Gui again, and Man Gui still knelt on one knee and took the handcuff with both hands raised. Thanks again.

"Man Gui, this is the saber I gave you, I wish you in battle, brave and invincible." Yang Gai gave the saber to Man Gui again, and Man Gui still took it and thanked him again.

"Man Gui, get up. I hope that you will not live up to my expectations of you, and that the transfer of you to Beijing is because I have taken a fancy to your loyalty, my fancy to your team's ability to fight, and I hope you will continue to work hard to kill the enemy for me. Yang Reform didn't tell Man Gui the truth, and told the truth directly.

"The minister is full of Gui, and Man Zhongming will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations, bravely kill the enemy, defend His Majesty, and defend the Ming Dynasty." Man Gui loudly expressed his loyalty.
