Chapter Eighty-Seven: Secret Talks
After Yang He finished speaking, Liu Qi said: "Remember what you said, after you go back, you can train soldiers with peace of mind, as you said, train an elite division, and when the time is ripe, you will return to Liaodong." ”
"The humble position will live up to the expectations of adults." Yang He said loudly.
Liu Qi smiled and nodded.
Waving his hand, Liu Qi smiled and said, "You have been standing for a long time, come, sit down and have a cup of tea." ”
"Master Xie." Yang He arched his hand.
Pouring a cup of tea for Yang He, Liu Qi smiled and said, "This official saw that you were talking in a clear manner, but have you read a book?" ”
Yang He hurriedly said: "I just found someone to teach reading and literacy." ”
"It's amazing that you can just start reading and reading at this level!" Liu Qi praised.
"Your Excellency has won the prize." Yang He said busily.
"I don't know which Confucian gentleman you invited?" Liu Qi asked.
Yang He smiled: "It's a lowly scribe." ”
Liu Qi frowned and said, "Scribe? Can you be famous? ”
"It's a child." Yang He said with a smile.
"Tongsheng? What can a child teach you? Liu Qi shook his head again and again.
"It's enough for children to learn literacy at the beginning of their careers." Yang He said with a smile.
"That's ......," Liu Qi said with a smile.
As he spoke, he waved his hand and motioned for Yang He to drink tea.
After taking a sip of tea, Liu Qixiao asked, "Yang He, where are you from?" ”
Yang He hurriedly said: "The humble position is from Liaodong. ”
"Liaodong?" Liu Qi frowned.
Yang He smiled when he saw it: "My lord, if you are like-minded, why do you need to care about the difference between regions?" ”
"Hahaha, listen to the sound of the strings and know the elegance, good, good!" Liu Qi laughed when he heard this.
Yang He smiled, took a sip of tea and said, "My lord, you also know that the humble position as the chief soldier of the Funing County regimental training must have something to do with the magistrate of Funing County. I don't hide it from you, and I have a good relationship with Zhang Fengqi, the magistrate of Funing County. ”
Liu Qi nodded: "This official understands what you mean, when the matter here is completed, when he returns to Beijing, he will go to Funing County to meet this Zhang Zhi County." ”
"Thank you, sir." Yang He said with a smile.
Liu Qi waved his hand: "Thank you, you are right, if you are like-minded, why do you care about the geographical division, now the power of the DPRK and China is in the hands of the Donglin Party, and we can only confront the Donglin Party by contacting more officials." ”
"My lord." Yang He arched his hand.
At this moment, a subordinate entered the study and looked at Yang He, who hesitated for a moment, walked to Liu Qi's side, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Liu Qi nodded, and said to Yang He with a smile: "This official still has a guest to meet......
Without waiting for Liu Qi to finish speaking, Yang He hurriedly got up and said, "My lord's official business is important, so I will retire first." ”
Liu Qi stood up with a smile: "Then the official will not be far away." ”
"Stay, sir." Yang He bowed and bowed, turned around and walked out of the study.
Seeing Yang He walking out of Jingluo Mansion, the two soldiers on duty glanced at each other, and they both showed surprise.
Since beating Liu Qixun and pressing Liaodong, he has never spoken to an official for such a long time, this Yang He has talked to Liu Qi for so long, what is the relationship between these two?
didn't have to think about it, and the two soldiers hurriedly greeted him: "Lord Qian, are you leaving?" ”
Seeing the two soldiers bowing in front of him, Yang He smiled: "Lord Liu has explained the errand to be done." ”
"Then Mr. Qian, go slowly." The two soldiers were busy.
Yang He nodded and beckoned to Li Wei, who was waiting outside the door, and Li Wei hurriedly untied the horse's reins and led the horse over.
Waving his hand at the two soldiers, Yang He took the reins, turned over on his horse, and urged the horse away.
Out of Shanhaiguan, Yang He said to Li Wei: "You go back to the barracks and talk to the second brother and the third brother, and say that I will go to Funing County to do some things, and I will come back when I finish doing things." ”
"Big brother, when you left, you said that you would congratulate General Hei Shen and Zhang Guerrilla when you came back, if you don't go back, will the two of them have other ideas?" Li Wei said busily.
Yang He patted his head when he heard this: "That's what I said, then let's go to Funing County tomorrow." ”
After speaking, Yang He turned his head to look at Li Wei and said with a smile: "Yes, there are some things I don't remember, so you should remind me like this." ”
Li Wei smiled and nodded.
……
Back in the barracks, Yang He came to Heiyunhe's tent, and when he saw that Zhang Mingxian was also there, Yang He smiled and said, "The third brother is so idle, didn't he go to stare at the soldiers' training?" ”
Zhang Mingxian smiled: "Wait for you, I have something to tell you." ”
"Oh? Why do you want the third brother to wait here? Yang He smiled.
Zhang Mingxian smiled silently.
After the soldiers brought tea and retreated, Zhang Ming said first: "After you left, I discussed with the second brother and decided to hand over all the troops to you." ”
Yang He was stunned when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Heiyunhe.
Black Cloud Crane smiled and nodded.
"What is this for?" Yang Heqi said.
After Zhang Mingxian immediately left Yang He, he told Yang He what he had discussed with Hei Yunhe.
In the end, Zhang Ming said first: "Fourth brother, this is what me and the second brother mean." ”
Yang He frowned when he heard this: "Second brother, third brother, I don't think it's necessary, on the contrary, I think if you are transferred elsewhere, you should take the soldiers away." ”
"If we take the soldiers away, then you will have no soldiers in your hands." Zhang Ming said busily first.
Yang He smiled: "Who said I don't have soldiers in my hands? I am the chief soldier of the Funing County regiment, am I afraid that I will not have soldiers in my hands? ”
"But how can the newly recruited soldiers be as good as those veterans of a hundred battles?" Zhang Ming said busily first.
Yang He smiled: "The veteran used to be a recruit, what? Believe that the brother can bring the recruits out? ”
"Then how can it be, my second brother and I are convinced of your ability to lead soldiers." Zhang Mingxian said with a smile.
"That's fine. Okay, let's not talk about this, let's tell you about my going to see Liu Qi. Yang He smiled.
Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, Yang Hemo rubbed the teacup and said: "Second brother, third brother, I saw Liu Qi this time and inquired about a very important news, Zhang Heming, the Liaodong Economic Strategy, may not last long." ”
"Why can't you do it for long? I heard that the people who impeached Zhang Heming were all punished by the emperor. Zhang Mingxian wondered.
Yang He smiled and said: "The emperor has no one available, so naturally he can't let the imperial historians impeach Zhang Heming, but the emperor doesn't understand what the purpose of those imperial historians to impeach Zhang Heming is, they are paving the way for Zhang Heming's resignation." ”
"Do you need to go through such trouble? Zhang Heming doesn't want to do it, isn't it over just handing in his resignation? Zhang Mingxian wondered.
Yang He said with a smile: "Third brother, Zhang Heming invited himself to serve as the economic strategy of Liaodong, and he handed in his resignation just a few days after arriving in Liaodong, did he treat the emperor as a monkey?" You have to find a reason. And the imperial historians impeached Zhang Heming, and Zhang Heming could borrow the donkey to submit his resignation. ”
"His grandmother's, so many fancy intestines." Zhang Ming scolded first.
"Zhang Heming is gone, is it any good for us?" Black Cloud Crane said suddenly.
Yang He said with a smile: "Zhang Heming is now thinking about how to leave Liaodong all day long, and he doesn't care about military affairs, so we must seize this opportunity and step up the training of troops." The troops here will be handed over to you, and I will go to Funing County to recruit township soldiers and train new troops. ”
"Big brother is busy settling the people now, can you be busy alone? Why don't I help you? Zhang Mingxian said.
Yang He shook his head: "No, this army is the real official army, we must firmly grasp it, third brother, you must not be careless." ”
"Okay then." Zhang Mingxian said helplessly.
"Also, Liu Qi promised to go to Funing County in two days, and then the two of you will come together and have a good relationship with Liu Qi." Yang He continued.
"How did you get acquainted with Liu Qi?" Zhang Ming said strangely.
Yang He smiled: "Liu Qi is the Chu Party, the Chu Party is having a hard time now, I will give him a big gift, he naturally knows how to repay the peach." ”
"You gave him a big gift? What kind of gifts, I didn't see you bring anything when you left? Zhang Mingxian wondered.
Hearing this, Hei Yunhe smiled and said, "Third brother, you still don't know the fourth brother's wrist?" You still don't have to ask about these fiddling things, you don't understand when you say it. ”
"I don't understand, you understand?" Zhang Ming was unconvinced.
"I don't understand either, so I don't ask." Black Cloud Crane laughed.
Yang He smiled and shook his head: "Okay, let's not talk about these headaches, today the two brothers are promoted, and the brothers invite the brothers to drink." ”
"Hahaha, then you have to have a good drink, since we returned to the Guannai, our brothers haven't drunk together seriously." Zhang Mingxian said with a smile.
"Okay, our brothers will be drunk today." Yang He laughed.
After speaking, he greeted Li Wei and asked him to arrange for someone to buy wine and food.
In fact, there is nothing good to eat in the barracks, and there are no professional cooks, so I can simply deal with it.
However, Yang He and the others don't care too much about this when they drink, if it's just an atmosphere.
Yang He's profession is special, which requires him to be able to deal with any occasion, so Yang He's amount of alcohol is specially trained, but Yang He usually doesn't drink much, and occasionally accompanies Heiyunhe and others to drink a little, and it is also a light taste.
Today, Hei Yunhe and Zhang Mingxian understood Yang He's amount of wine, and after a few large bowls of wine, Yang He's face did not change, but Hei Yunhe and Zhang Mingxian couldn't resist it, and before the banquet was dispersed, these two people had already been poured down by Yang He.
ordered his soldiers to help the two rest in the camp tent, and Yang He slowly walked out of the camp tent.
"Big brother, are you okay?" Li Wei asked.
Yang He smiled and waved his hand.
Li Wei saw it and stretched out his thumb: "Big brother is amazing." ”
Yang He smiled and walked slowly towards the mountain.
"Where's Big Brother?" Li Wei asked.
"You go back, I want something." Yang He said.
After saying that, he walked to the mountain.
Li Wei looked up the mountain, it was winter at this time, the leaves on the mountain were withering, and at a glance, the mountain was desolate.
Li Wei muttered in his heart: What are you doing in the mountains?
However, he still pulled his legs and followed behind Yang He.
Yang He didn't pay attention to him, just lowered his head and thought silently.
The total number of troops withdrawn from Liaodong was nearly 2,500, of which nearly 1,000 were wounded, and some were older.
Originally, Yang He was going to remove all the wounded soldiers and older soldiers, and only keep a thousand people, but Hei Yunhe and the others were suddenly promoted, and Yang He could only cancel the original plan, and he had to keep enough soldiers for Hei Yunhe and others.
But those who are seriously wounded must be eliminated, and those who are too old must also be eliminated.
