Chapter 291: Governing power for military power
Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin were dejected here, and Zhu Youcheng was refreshed over there.
He traveled to the mountains with Shuangmei, and fulfilled the dream of the gentleman in his heart a little.
On the mountain, in the eyes of the two beautiful waters, he showed his beautiful singing voice and sang love songs.
Ma Yunniang is a Miao girl, and she grew up in Shiyan, and she has a lot of mountain songs in her heart, so she sang a duet with Zhu Youcheng.
Not to be outdone, Ke Qingqing responded with the songs he learned in the barracks.
Originally, Ma Yunniang's songs were full of tenderness, and Keqingqing's songs were full of enthusiasm, each with its own merits. But Ke Qingqing is too unconfident, and always thinks that girls should sing songs like Ma Yunniang like honey in sugar, but she can't do a single one, so she can't help but be a little unhappy.
Ma Yunniang's eyes were so sharp, when she found this situation, she knew that she no longer sang a new song, but sang the original song again.
Ke Qingqing saw that although she did not beat Ma Yunniang in the content of the songs, she seemed to surpass her in the number of songs, so she became happy again.
The three of them spent a whole day on the mountain, allowing Zhu Youcheng to enjoy a rare relaxed and sweet day after coming to Daming.
It wasn't until the sun set in the west that the three of them set out on their way home.
Back at the house, they found Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin waiting in the living room.
Ke Qingqing and Ma Yunniang knew that the three of them had military affairs to discuss, so they confessed, then returned to their rooms and said something considerate.
Zhu Youcheng said: "How do you feel about today's battle? ”
Ma Xianglin asked with some surprise: "Why doesn't Lord Zhu ask how to win or lose?" ”
"Still asking? I still don't understand the soldiers I trained? This is a military exercise, and you can hold out for a while. If it had been a real battle, you would have collapsed long ago. ”
Before Ma Xianglin could refute, Qin Liangyu interrupted him: "Xianglin, defeat is defeat." Needless to say. ”
After speaking, Qin Liangyu turned his head and asked Zhu Youcheng: "Dare to ask Lord Zhu, why did we lose this battle?" ”
Zhu Youcheng wanted to learn from Zhuge Liang, so he reached out and stroked his long hair under his chin, but he felt empty, so he had to cough. Said: "The defeat of the white pole soldiers is not defeated by the command of the general, nor is it defeated by the bravery of the soldiers. Defeat is defeat due to the unreasonable allocation of troops. I've noticed that most of the white pole soldiers are melee troops, and they don't even have a ranged class. In the event of an enemy's long-range attack, the White Pole Soldier will definitely suffer a big loss. If the white pole soldiers had half of the crossbowmen today, they would not have been defeated so badly. ”
Zhu Youcheng talked eloquently about the weapons of the Ming Dynasty: "The bow and crossbow used by Jinyiwei is a horse crossbow, and the crossbow is opened with both hands, and the range is only fifty steps. And the Ming Dynasty's stumbling bow. The firing range can reach more than one hundred and twenty steps, and the range of the strong crossbow can even reach two hundred steps. The white pole soldier is an infantry, and it is best to use a bow with a bow, a crossbow of one hundred and twenty paces against a crossbow of fifty paces, who do you say will suffer? ”
Ma Xianglin muttered: "My brother-in-law is too insidious, I still like to fight the enemy one by one......"
Zhu Youcheng was furious, pointed at Ma Xianglin's nose and shouted: "Are you a general, do you know how to fight?" What does it mean to fight? To fight a war is to use the shortest possible time. The most killed enemy. As long as you can kill the enemy, whether it is poisoning or digging a pit. Or any other way of doing it, it can be used in war. How did Guan Yu die? was killed by Lu Meng, whose martial arts were far inferior to his. Now, who dares to say that Lu Meng is not a famous general? ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Youcheng remembered that Ma Xianglin was his eldest brother, and he couldn't be ruthlessly offended, so his tone slowed down: "General Ma." Didn't you get blinded in one eye by Jiannu? Don't you want revenge? With such a white pole soldier, can you get revenge? ”
Ma Xianglin was speechless by Zhu Youcheng, so he had to smile awkwardly.
Qin Liangyu said: "Virtuous son-in-law-Lord Zhu, in the afternoon, I thought about your mention repeatedly, and sent the white pole soldiers to study in the Fusi Division of Jinyi Weixi Town. Good is good. However, after sending 4,000 white pole soldiers, I don't have many troops in my hands, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to bear the heavy responsibility of defending the peace of Sichuan. ”
"If you don't have soldiers, you can recruit soldiers, General Qin loves soldiers like sons, and the people are fierce, so the source of soldiers should not be a problem."
"The virtuous son-in-law doesn't know, and the last will be Toast. The imperial court has a limit on the total number of troops in the Tusi, and if there are too many troops, the imperial history will impeach me, and I can't afford to be guilty. ”
Zhu Youcheng was silent for a moment and said, "You can resign from the position of toast."
Qin Liangyu's face changed, and he muttered: "The Shi Yan Xuanfu Envoy was passed down by my husband, even if I can't carry it forward, I can't end it with my own hands." ”
Zhu Youcheng smiled, this sentence proves that Qin Liangyu is not out of his own heart, but to protect the interests of the family. In this world, there is nothing that cannot be exchanged except for unshakable faith.
Qin Liangyu's belief is to be loyal to the monarch and patriotic and defend the Ming Dynasty. If she is persuaded to exchange her power for military power, I am afraid she will be willing.
Thinking of this, Zhu Youcheng said: "It is said that although Tusi is the local emperor, he cannot leave the land at will, unless there is an emperor's holy decree." So mother-in-law, you take the stone stone toast as a treasure, but your descendants may not like to nest in the broken place of the stone stone. ”
Zhu Youcheng turned his head to Ma Xianglin: "Brother Xianglin, you have been to Chengdu, do you think Chengdu is better, or is it better to be stone?" ”
"Yes, of course...... Stone is good. Ma Xianglin found Qin Liangyu's knife-like eyes and immediately changed his words.
But after thinking about it, Ma Xianglin still decided to tell the truth: "But Chengdu is not bad." The bustling street market, the buildings are lined up, and the beauties are crowded, otherwise the bastard of Extravagant Chongming would not have to be beaten in Chengdu. The fly in the ointment is that things in Chengdu are too expensive, especially good things. Last time, I bought a dress for Yun Niang, and I actually received 500 wen. Five hundred wen, you can have a good banquet in Shiyan......"
Ma Xianglin said and said, feeling a little painful.
Zhu Youcheng smiled and said: "Okay, okay, you go to Jingxi Huangzhuang for training, and give you ten silver yuan every month, okay?" ”
Ma Xianglin's eyes widened in surprise and said, "Ten ...... Ten silver yuan? ”
The county official's salary is only sixty or seventy silver yuan a year, and he just went to Jinyi Weixi Town to train, and he can get a living allowance of one hundred and twenty silver yuan, Zhu Youcheng is really interesting.
"Don't stare out of your eyes, even if you go to Huangzhuang, even if you are a temporary brocade guard, you deserve to be paid. However, don't think that this salary comes easily, I was called the 'devil instructor' by the Jinyi Guard in private, and I didn't recognize my six relatives when I trained. ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Youcheng turned to Ma Yunniang again and asked softly: "Sister Yunniang, do you like Shi Yan or Chengdu?" ”
Ma Yunniang is a model of a husband and wife, and she didn't pay attention to Qin Liangyu's sharp eyes, and said with a smile: "Of course it's Chengdu, there are many things and beautiful things, and the house is big and beautiful." Not to mention Chengdu, even Guiyang with poor mountains and bad waters is much better than Shiyan. However, as long as Brother Cheng goes, where he goes, it will be my paradise. ”
Zhu Youcheng grabbed Ma Yunniang's softness, patted it, then put down Ma Yunniang's little hand, turned his head to Qin Liangyu and said, "Look, the stone stone you have worked so hard to manage, your children don't seem to appreciate it." ”
Qin Liangyu was slightly embarrassed, and muttered in a low voice: "How can the old lady raise these two losers." ”
Zhu Youcheng said solemnly: "Mother-in-law, in order to strengthen the control of the Ming Dynasty over the place, after I return to Beijing, I will mention it to the emperor and increase the intensity of changing the land and returning to the stream." There is no doubt that the Yiren region will change the land and return to the stream, and other regions will gradually implement the liuguan system, so you can't be the toast of Shiyan for too long. Rather than being ordered by the imperial court to hand over the governing power, it is better to take the initiative to attack, exchange the governing power for a higher military attache rank, and command more soldiers, so as to better maintain the security of Sichuan. In this way, you can be regarded as doing a great good deed for the people of Shiyan. ”
Qin Liangyu was shocked, she couldn't imagine that Zhu Youcheng was planning such an earth-shattering plan in addition to the war.
She asked with concern, "Son-in-law, you are pushing yourself to the opposite side of all the toasts, and the pressure is very high, can you stand it?" ”
Zhu Youcheng said: "I once said to Lord Yu Qian, 'Don't be afraid of broken bones, you must leave your innocence in the world.'" 'For the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, why am I afraid of axes, hooks and forks, even if I am broken bones. ”
Qin Liangyu saw that Zhu Youcheng said it categorically, smiled heartily, and said: "The virtuous son-in-law is such a hero, and the old body can't be left behind, okay, I will immediately go to the court and resign from the post of Shi Yan's Xuanfu envoy." ”
Zhu Youcheng said: "Mother-in-law doesn't need to be so anxious, after I return to Beijing and tell the emperor about the policy of changing the land and returning to the stream, you can go to the table." Otherwise, those court ministers still think that you have been greatly wronged and are going to pick a son. ”
Qin Liangyu nodded and said, "Just follow what the virtuous son-in-law said, I'm good at fighting, I can't handle these twists and turns." ”
Ma Xianglin sighed, he actually didn't want to stay in the broken place of Shi Yan, but he was the eldest son, so he had to take over the Shi Yan Xuanfu Envoy.
Now it's okay, the toast system is about to be canceled, it's really a sea with a fish jumping, the sky is high and the birds are flying, Daming is so vast, where can't he go? (To be continued......)
