Seeing that Wang Dou was silent, Ji Shiwei sighed: "You have a strong army in the world, and you are an earl, it is impossible for the court to have no concerns, Bi Ruo...... The intention of the Holy Lord and the princes to support Yang Guozhu and others is extremely obvious......"

Seeing that Wang Dou's face was expressionless, Ji Shiwei said: "The quota is a step, of course, it is not aimed at you, the meaning of this is ......"

Wang Dou said: "Needless to say, Taishan, my son-in-law understands. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Ji Shiwei sighed, and he was also quite distressed in his heart, although his relationship with Wang Dou was not publicly clarified, and the officials did not use the relatives recusal regulations to impeach or require him, and he was firmly appointed as the governor of Xuanzhen. But who doesn't know that Wang Dou is his son-in-law? If you want to take a step higher and be the governor of Xuanda, how easy is it to talk about it?

He was supposed to be the governor of Xuanda back then, but he was robbed by Zhang Fuzhen, and the meaning of the imperial court's checks and balances can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

Although this soldier has promised, even if Zhang Fuzhen leaves his post and wants to be the governor, I am afraid that it will be far away.

With Wang Dou as a son-in-law, there are pros and cons, but overall, the pros outweigh the disadvantages. Look at Zhang Fuzhen, even if he is the governor of the three towns, how can he live comfortably? It's all because of having a good son-in-law.

Seeing that Wang Dou understood, Ji Shiwei was also relieved, and said: "It's good that you understand, but even if there are 10,000 soldiers, there are 3,000 cavalry troops in it, compared to many general soldiers, it is already good." Xuanzhen's household manager is good friends with me, and I will definitely try my best to make up for the annual food and salary equipment in the future. ”

Wang Dou thanked Lord Taishan, and talked about Wang Dou's arms delivery, Ji Shiwei was happy, his son-in-law has a lot of money, and this alone will make a lot of profits in the future, no wonder his son-in-law has been all the way. But it can support a huge army.

After that, the two chatted a little. When talking about Zhang Guowei's matter, Wang Dou's eyes shot a cold light and said: "This man is so bold. In fact, the son-in-law wants to clean him up, only in the palm of his hand, but the expedition is imminent. Press it for now, and deal with him later. ”

Ji Shiwei praised: "You just became the chief soldier, Gao Feng Zhongyong came back, how many people looked at you." On the surface, Zhang Guowei was not at fault, and Governor Zhang also punished him heavily, and now dealing with him, some people will inevitably gossip. It's right to press for the time being, and find a reason for it later. Let's deal with him again. ”

Ji Shiwei was also extremely dissatisfied with Zhang Guowei, and sang against himself when he was in the town. often provokes him to the extreme. Even if there is no matter of the East Road, it is gnashing its teeth. However, Ji Shiwei has been an official for many years. is also an old treacherous and cunning, and understands that now is not the time, so as not to make the people in the town sad and dissatisfied with their son-in-law.

In the end, Governor Ji said with concern: "Dou'er, I know that you are brave, but the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and the guns on the battlefield are ruthless. You don't care about yourself, you have to take care of my daughter, and your mother and children, right? ”

Wang Dou understood that Ji Shiwei was kind and thanked him solemnly.

Out of the study, Governor Ji happily saw his daughter Ji Junjiao, and his grandson Queen was ashamed, and the father and daughter said some private words.

Seeing her father, Ji Junjiao was equally happy and burst into tears: "Father." ”

Seeing Ji Junjiao, Ji Shiwei's heart was sour, and he almost shed tears, but as a father, he would not show his feelings like his mother, he looked at his daughter, saw that her face was radiant, obviously living well in the palace, and his heart was a little calm, and asked, "How is my son?" ”

Ji Junjiao, as the most favored object of the Ji family, naturally has her own means, holding her father's hand and coquettishly saying: "Good is good, I often miss my father and mother." ”

Seeing his daughter coquettish, Ji Shiwei seemed to have gone back to the past, her daughter was still playing under her knees, she couldn't help but stroke her beard and was happy, pointing at Ji Junjiao and saying: "You, you are all mothers, and you are still like you haven't grown up when you were young." ”…,

looked at her granddaughter again, and saw that she had two big round eyes, which was simply a copy of her daughter when she was a child, and she was very happy, but she sighed again: "It's a pity, it's a daughter." ”

Ji Junjiao was dissatisfied, hugged Xiao Wang and said shyly: "What's wrong with my daughter?" The daughter's family is more caring, her father, she likes it very much. ”

Ji Shiwei muttered: "You'd better have an heir, it's ...... like this"

Ji Junjiao shook her head and smiled: "Father wants me to compete for favor?" It seems that my father doesn't have a daughter who understands my man, he's very good. ”

Ji Junjiao smiled: "Do you know why Wang Dou spoils me?" Just because I know how to advance and retreat, and I know how to measure. Although Xie Xiuniang is vulgar, she is Wang Dou's wife, they share weal and woe, how can the relationship between them be replaced by outsiders? ”

"I understand this person, husband, I miss the old love very much, and I am also very ruthless, I don't have anything to be coquettish on weekdays, if I do something to instigate, then it's over. Even if she is still in the house, she is still a beautiful vase, such a woman, how much does her husband want now, how can she be like a confidant now, and she is pampered in her heart? Besides, I love him and I don't want to embarrass him. ”

Ji Shiwei was stunned for a long time, looked at his daughter and laughed: "It's still my son, I don't have to worry about it." ”

……

On the second day, Zhang Ruoqi, a staff member of the Ministry of War, and Ma Shaoyu, a member of the Foreign Army, approved the number of troops on the East Road, that is, 10,000 people, including 3,000 cavalry.

In fact, the problem of the East Road is different from other places, not that there are not enough soldiers, but that there are too many elite soldiers. Zhang Ruoqi just looked at the flowers, and was secretly frightened, thinking that the courage of loyalty and bravery, it was indeed not just talking. I have a little more confidence in completing the mission entrusted by Mr. Chen.

Fortunately, for the number of soldiers, Uncle Zhong Yongbo did not care too much, and only asked the court generals to open the silver, and the food and salary were solved as soon as possible, and the soldiers could not fight hungry.

The imperial court has already decided on this problem, that is, the household department will solve part of it, and the town will solve part of it, in short, it will be paid for half a year at one time. The court begged the loyal and brave uncle to fight, and it was impossible not to give food and grass, right?

In addition to the amount of soldiers, grain and grass, there are also the rewards of the generals of the Jingbian Army, for this aspect, the imperial court is very generous, Wen Fangliang, Gao Shiyin, Li Guangheng who went out to fight the thieves, all of them were named the commanders of the Wanquan Division, and they all commanded the same knowledge, and a large number of people were rewarded, and the number of generals of Wang Doubao was all approved.

In addition, Zhang Ruoqi, on behalf of the imperial court, purchased 5,000 Seiko bird guns and 150,000 rounds of Weijin medicine from Zhongyongbo.

Regarding the price of bird gun ammunition, Zhang Ruoqi reported to the imperial court that it was eight taels per rod, with ten rounds of fixed carton ammunition, and the rest of the money was calculated separately.

In fact, it is seven taels per stroke, and the rest of the difference. Count the kickbacks of Zhang Ruoqi and others.

Faced with the price of eight taels per stroke. In the future, Zhang Ruoqi faced inquiries from all sides, and the imperial history questioned the siege, and he had a heartfelt speech.

Seiko Bird Gun. Daming is built all over the world, and it has always been three to five taels, and the East Road firearms are famous all over the world. Naturally, it's harder and more expensive to build. At that time, Xu Guangqi quoted a pair of fine armor with a budget of 16 taels, and a bird gun with a pole of 5 taels, which did not necessarily have sharp firearms on the East Road.

And what era is Xu Guangqi, and what era is it now? You have to take into account the rise in prices, inflation.

Also, look at this gun, it's almost exactly the same, it's the same color. In the future, Dongluzi medicine will be used when it is taken, and there is no need to create different leads, which is in between. And how much money do you save? If you feel that the price is too high. You can talk about it yourself and see how much you pay per shot.

Zhang Ruolin has always been eloquent. He talked endlessly, leaving all parties speechless.

Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, avenged his grievances, and even Emperor Chongzhen felt that the price of eight taels per stroke was real, so he specially decreed: "Recently, it has been too annoying for the officials to discuss, and it is difficult for the ministers to spread it." That is, like Zhang Ruolin, there is negligence in his greed, and this is said to be skillful, so what does it make people comfortable with? ”…,

In the end, Zhang Ruolin won, and all parties died down, and Zhang Langzhong fought alone for ten imperial histories, and won the battle, which also impressed others and spread his reputation.

……

This is not a matter of words, Yang Guozhu, Cao Bianjiao and others bought bird guns, hurriedly returned to the station, and prepared to go on the expedition, Zhang Fuzhen, the governor of Xuanda, and Ji Shiwei, the governor of Xuanzhen, were also satisfied with their return.

Before leaving, Zhang Fuzhen also confessed, ten thousand please, loyal and brave uncles must remember the purpose of dedication to the country, in Jinzhou Songshan, play the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, play the prestige of the Xuan army.

Looking at the old man's sad face, expectant look, and even pleading, Wang Dou could only sigh and agree.

After Yang Guozhu and the others left, Zhang Ruolin and his party stayed in Yongning City for a few more days.

On this day, Zhang Ruolin visited Wang Dou, and after the guests and hosts were polite, Zhang Ruolin finally couldn't hold back his thoughts, and asked tentatively: "The army of loyal and brave uncles is unparalleled in the world, but the slaves and thieves are powerful, this time Wang Shi sent to Liaodong, what do you think is the chance of winning?" ”

Wang Dou pondered for a long time, met Zhang Ruolin's expectant gaze, and stretched out his finger: "Seventy!" ”

Zhang Ruolin showed joy, but he was very deep in the city, so he just smiled and said: "Please also ask Uncle Zhong Yong to explain to the lower officials." ”

Wang Dou got up and paced, and said slowly: "In the situation of Liaodong, there are four stealing slaves who can make money, and I have five people who can take advantage of them." ”

"Oh."

Wang Dou said: "My rider five, one, slaves come from the nest, now after a long time, the four fields have not been plundered, that is, there is transportation, and there is enough food, it is its hunger and profitability." Second, the stupid slaves are scattered by hard work, and the rest can be used to fight and destroy thieves, and they all hope to change shifts, and they can fight to the death, which is their flaws and ......"

Wang Dou said again: "Third, in the city of Yizhou, the fence is full of eyes, and under the scorching sun and summer rain, the horn bow is gradually dissolved, and the epidemic is easy to arise, which is its fatigue. Fourth, the Liao people and Liao soldiers were all captured and plundered by slaves, and the remaining family enemies were resentful, so they could take advantage of their anger......"

Zhang Ruolin stroked his unmessed beard, sometimes closing his eyes and pondering, sometimes nodding in approval.

He listened to Wang Dou's eloquent talk, coming from all directions, smiling on his face, and secretly chilling in his heart: "This Wang Dou has a furrow in his chest, and he really can't be regarded as a husband." ”

After Wang Dou finished speaking one by one, Zhang Ruolin's eyes flashed, and he suddenly got up and bowed deeply to Wang Dou: "Loyal and brave uncles come all the way, all of them are insightful, the country has loyal and brave uncles, and there is no worry about the east, this is the luck of the country, the luck of Liaodong, and the luck of the people, please accept the worship of the lower officials." ”

He lay on the ground, and saw Wang Dou's heart ticking, more than forty people, such a style.

On his face, he hurriedly helped Zhang Ruolin up, and said continuously: "How can Zhang Langzhong do this big gift, please get up quickly." ”

Zhang Ruolin insisted on worshipping, Wang Dou insisted on helping, the two of them were polite, and finally Zhang Ruolin got up with half a push, still choked up with excitement on his face.

The two sat down again, but seeing Wang Dou's sharp gaze, Zhang Ruolin couldn't help but cough in his heart.

He re-brewed his feelings, and said solemnly: "Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, reported to the Liaodong strategy, advocating that it is advisable to fight and defend, and not to divide the army, so as not to be broken by the slaves. This soldier, Lord Chen, has different opinions, I don't know what Uncle Zhong Yong thinks? ”

Wang Dou thought to himself that the show was coming, this was the main reason why Zhang Ruolin came to East Road!

……

Wang Dou knew that Yang Sichang died of illness not long ago.

For this result, Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was secretly happy in his heart, and as soon as Yang Sichang left, he would have the opportunity to replace his position in the emperor's heart.

Therefore, the battle of Jinzhou is the opportunity for Chen Xinjia to focus on performance, and he attaches great importance to this. Thinking that the reinforcements had not arrived, especially Wang Dou had not arrived, he also sent a special report to Hong Chengchou on the front line, and explained before and after: "The loyal and brave soldiers have not arrived, so you can't fight!" ”…,

At this point, Hong Chengchou certainly understood that there was no disagreement with Chen Xinjia, but on the strategy after the reinforcements arrived, the two clashed.

Hong Chengchou believed that the eastern capture was the old trick of the Daling River, and in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, it was decided to fight and defend, and the troops must not be divided, so as not to be broken by each other.

Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department, believes that the Liaodong troops have repeatedly intercepted and blocked the enemy before, and they can take advantage of it, and in addition, many reinforcements have been organized and trained in the new army, and the combat strength is considerable. There was even an incomparably powerful Jingbian army, and the situation was very different from that of previous years, so he gathered all his staff and formulated a new set of tactics.

Chen Xinjia's tactic was that after the reinforcements arrived, the army would attack in four directions.

The first way, out of Tashan City, tend to the big victory fort, and attack the northwest of the Qing army.

The second way, out of Xingshan City, copy Jinchang Fort, attack the north of the Qing army.

The third way, out of Songshan City, cross the Xiaoling River, and attack the east of the Qing army.

On the fourth road, the main force went out of Songshan City and attacked the south of the Qing army.

This set of tactical plans was categorically rejected by Hong Chengchou, and the two exchanged official documents and reported to the emperor, and there were many controversial people in the court.

Chen Xinjia is earnest, in addition to lobbying the emperor and major dignitaries, Wang Dou, a strong general, is naturally also his key target, so there is Zhang Ruolin and his party.

As the number one henchman of this soldier, Zhang Ruolin is naturally obligated to act as this lobbyist.

Listening to Zhang Ruolin's explanation of the cause and effect, Wang Dou groaned, in the face of the Qing soldiers who came from the country, Hong Chengchou was right, but it was not right to hold on to more than 100,000 people to get together.

Chen Xinjia's strategy is a bit aggressive, but there are also merits.

Hong Chengchou is conceited and has deep confidence in his strategy, but his arrangement is wrong, and he can't do it according to his arrangement, and he is afraid of conflict with him.

It is impossible for him to do it alone, no matter how confident Wang Dou is, he is not confident enough that more than 10,000 people will face more than 100,000 Qing soldiers, so he must unite all the forces that can be united.

This Zhang Ruolin will come to Japan as a prison army, and he is an object that can be wooed.

Thinking of this, Wang Dou met Zhang Ruolin's expectant gaze and said slowly: "Governor Hong is an old man with experience, a sense of fact, and needless to say that he leads troops to fight. However, one person is poor, and everyone is long, and it is inevitable that there will be inconsiderate thoughts. His strategy, there is the right to the front, but there is no defense, this is a taboo for soldiers. ”

Zhang Ruolin was overjoyed, although Wang Dou did not say it explicitly, but the meaning of supporting Lord Chen in his words could be clearly heard.

He said with a smile on his face: "Okay, if you have Zhongyongbo, you will be relieved." Uncle Zhong Yong rest assured that when he sets out to conquer Liaodong in the coming day, the lower officials will fully support your army and your department. ”

After that, the two talked about some gossip, leaving Zhang Ruolin's selfish utilitarianism aside, he was proficient in the study of history and knowledge, listening to his chatter, Wang Dou was still very rewarding.

In fact, the Ming officials can fight from thousands of troops, and all of them are very good.

The difference lies in each person, who is more selfish than the public interest, or the public interest is greater than the selfish heart.

……

Zhang Ruolin led the officials of the Beijing Division to go with satisfaction, and when he went back, he had a rich ceremony to send him, and everyone was even more satisfied.

After that, Wang Dou devoted himself to training and going on expeditions.

At the end of May, the wheat fields on Donglu began to be harvested, and although there was a drought, a bumper harvest was still obtained, and an atmosphere of joy was permeated everywhere.

Time flew to June of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen.

On the 15th, Wang Dou announced that the whole army would be on holiday, and the sergeants would go back to reunite with their families, and before the 20th, they needed to rush back to the barracks, and on the 21st, the army would go on the march! The domain name has been changed to
