readx;
After Wang Tong came to Xuanfu, there were not many people to meet, but the talks were much more detailed than in Shanxi and Shaanxi. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
One town and one family, this is also a tradition in the Ming military circles, each of the nine sides is actually a family to support the door, it may not be passed down from generation to generation, but for a period of time, only this family will preside.
Before the appearance of Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, the most trusted and united armed group was blood relatives, and the most effective force was the private soldiers of the generals.
In the time and space without Wang Tong's appearance, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou's military reform is just a flashback, and in the next few decades, the situation of military behavior will become even more intensified.
In fact, the imperial court also acquiesced in such a situation, and only in this way could the border towns still ensure some combat effectiveness, of course, after the appearance of the Huwei army trained by Wang Tong, everyone saw a different path.
Datong Town is now the Ma family, Jizhen is the Li family, Liao Town is the Li family, the situation of Xuanfu is different, the original general of Xuanfu is Ma Fang, known as the first military general of the Ming Dynasty, the power of the Ma family is intertwined in Xuanfu, the Li family as the indigenous people of Xuanfu also have their own piece of the sky, after Liyun came and went to Jizhen, it stands to reason that the Li family should move to Li Town, but Li Tao's two elder brothers have taken root in Xuanfu, and they have not followed the past, Li Tao is now also the battalion officer of the forbidden army, and the power of the Li family is gradually able to fight against the Ma family, But the two sides are relatively close because of Wang Tong, which is another matter.
But today's chief soldier is Li Rusong, and Li Rusong, as the eldest son of the Li family in Liaozhen, has long had his own side of the force.
The Ma family, the Li family, and the Li family, these three are all in Xuanfu, which makes the Xuanfu side very complicated, but the contradictions are not very intensified, because the Jia family is busy making a fortune.
Needless to say, Ma Dong is in Shanxi and Naturalization City, on the side of Xuanfu, the Ma family also makes a lot of money on leather goods and alkali, and the Li family is naturally not far behind, the business of leather goods and alkali is still done by them and Tianjin Wei first, and now Li Tao's two brothers pay attention to maintaining the trade route from Xuanfu to Tianjin Wei, which is really a sea of gold and silver!
As for Li Rusong, although he came late, his qualifications are sufficient, his identity is a general soldier, and he should have a lot of business, and he also took the initiative to send his own soldiers to participate in the affairs of the grassland, and arranged for his own slaves to do business on the grassland.
Pastures, farms, and trade points, Li Rusong relied on the strength of his own soldiers, and he really made a lot of benefits on the grassland, and the merchant group was armed to fight and march on the grassland, and the supplies and supplies on the Xuanfu side were all handled by Li Rusong's people, and this income was also a lot.
Without money, there is no way to support the family and soldiers, and if there are not many family members, there is no way to make meritorious contributions to keep this position, or even go further.
Liaozhen has a lot of wealth and power in the hands of the Li family, which is naturally convenient" But Li Rusong went to Xuanfu to take office, but at the beginning, he could only let Liaozhen send him silver, which was very costly" Whether this arrangement has the intention of balancing the imperial court is really difficult to say.
However, Li Rusong punched and kicked on the side of Xuanfu, "Borrowing Wang Tong to lay the east wind of Guihua City, and slowly having more money on hand, with silver, everything is easy to say, his side is also completely independent from Liaozhen, the interests of the three families on the grassland are different, and the direction of development in the future is also different, such as the Ma family, just thinking about stabilizing the local business, and then going to Tianjin Wei to open shops, and even participate in the shipping and sea trade, the local ones do not want to expand too fast and too big, because their Ma family's focus is in Shanxi, Ma Dong has already carved his own ground there.
The family is different, Xuanfu and Jizhen are almost choking the two ends of Eastern Mongolia, their family wants to get more pastures, farms and alkali lakes on the grassland, and then go to Tianjin Wei to sell, and in Tianjin Wei get more goods to be trafficked to the grassland, this is their plan to make a fortune.
As for the Li family, it was necessary to discuss with Wang Tong in detail, so on the sixth day that Wang Tong came to Xuanfu, after all the public and private etiquette was over, Li Rusong held a banquet in his mansion and invited Wang Tong. ............, the mansion is magnificent and extraordinary, and the mansion of a general like Wang Tonglai is not once or twice, and every time he comes, he has to sigh, there is a martial arts style there, which is clearly the style of Yangzhou salt merchants and Jiangnan tycoons.
Jiangnan is known as the richest and most fashionable place in the world, and the rich people in the world are imitating the food and clothing there, and the first-class ones are nondescript, and when it comes to the level of Li Rusong, it is more authentic than Jiangnan, and it is estimated that those families from Suzhou and Hangzhou come over, and they can't see anything wrong.
Wang Tong dismounted in front of the door, Li Rusong, who was wearing a staff robe, hurriedly greeted him, Li Rusong was a disciple of the door, tall and burly, but this staff robe was a fit, and it looked very lined on him, Li Rusong at this time was still like a rich man at home.
"The lower official has given a salute to the Hou Ye."
Don't say it's dressed, even if it's a style, Li Rusong also has the title of earl, and he is the general of the general army, Wang Tong naturally won't let him really worship, and hurriedly helped, and the two sides were polite in accordance with the rules of officialdom, and walked into the mansion together.
When he arrived at the main hall of the banquet and sat down, Wang Tong took a casual look and found that this place was different from the one he walked all the way, and it was a bit like the residence of a military general.
There are bows hanging on the wall, and there are all kinds of weapons on the multi-treasure grid on one side, and there is a set of tiger armor standing there in the corner, and you can see a Japanese sword on the coffee table.
"Lord Ji is really a general!" , Wang Tong sighed, but when he said it, he felt that it was a little inappropriate, Ming rules, it is okay to praise the courage of the warriors, but to say "the true colors of the generals", it is a bit insulting, as if it is a rude description.
Li Rusong's expression was not abnormal, and he said with a smile: "Xiaguan Laozi is born in this life, and when he is at home, he always wears a sour green shirt, and he pretends to look at the book there, and it is annoying to look at it, our family's wealth is with knives and guns, and it is spelled out with his head, and there is a bird for reading, and he can recognize the words and leave, and the Ma family that Ma Lin, when he first went to Liaozhen, the lower official was startled when he saw it, thinking that this is the governor sent by the imperial court or the supervisor of the army, and the old Ma family actually came out of Wenchen, Later, I learned that he was a deputy general, which was really ridiculous, if it weren't for the military merits he earned by killing his godson in Datong, he would have this virtue today. These words were very appealing to Wang Tong's appetite, Wang Tong gradually had a smile on his face, Li Rusong paused after saying the first sentence, and continued after seeing the expression on Wang Tong's face.
According to Wang Tong's understanding, Li Rusong is a pure general, although Jinyiwei and Sanjiang Commercial Bank did not use too many praise words to describe, but Wang Tong can see that Li Rusong has a general, to be precise, the kind of character that is very rare among the Ming warriors, that is, he likes to fight and fight.
Perhaps Li Rusong is the eldest son of the Li family, from enlightenment to adulthood, he followed his father to fight in the east and west, and from victory to victory, making him like force, fighting, and killing.
Otherwise, a Xuanfu general soldier often leads light horses to the grassland to fight grass valleys, loot small tribes, and then never come back with a head, what is the picture, there is a legend when the set is full, Li Rusong may also participate, but this news can't be confirmed, it's just a legend.
However, Li Rusong likes to fight and kill, and he can't get used to those military generals who pretend to be Sven, but it has nothing to do with these words now, Li Rusong can get to this position, his father is a piece, and his own family is also capable in the officialdom, and the two sides have dealt with each other a few times, how can they not get used to their own Lao Tzu in person.
There must be something else in this, the contradiction between the Wang Tong system and the Li family is known to everyone in the world, but the Li family is Liaozhen, and Li Rusong is now independent, so it is necessary to draw a line and show favor to Wang Tong.
With the style of the big family in this era, Li Rusong's banquet and style of talent today may not be Li Chengliang's instructions, after all, Li Chengliang is old, Wang Tongzheng is young, and Wang Tongquan leans towards the government and the opposition, and more importantly, Emperor Wanli is also very young, and the Li family wants to continue to be prosperous and rich, and they can't stay on a tree.
Wang Tong's mind turned a hundred times, after Li Rusong finished speaking, Wang Tong said with a smile: "The lifeblood of our generals is the knife handle, and the lifeblood of those Wenchen is the pen, so you still have to not forget your roots!" Hearing Wang Tong's words, Li Rusong was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, raised his glass and said: "Hou Ye said well, you can't forget your roots, come, Xia Guan respects Hou Ye three glasses!" ”
Wang Tong's words also made clear an attitude, although it was not clear, but there was goodwill, Li Rusong was naturally happy, and after a few glasses of wine, there were more words on both sides.
"Master Hou is really generous, the lower officials only sent a few hundred people to Mantao'er, and the adults gave two thousand taels of golden sands, and they got two percent of the shares, which is more than the tenant land!"
"It's not Benhou's generosity, it's Sanjiang Commercial Bank's generosity."
"Save, save, the lower official said wrong."
"In the future, the activities of the naturalized merchant group in Eastern Mongolia will be taken care of by Lord Li."
"Hou Ye's words, the lower officials are not without benefits, and their own family affairs naturally have to be done carefully, please rest assured."
The two sides exchanged a few polite words, and the general policy had already been decided, and the next thing was to talk in detail with both right hands, and Wang Tong didn't expect Li Rusong to have such kindness when he came, but it made things a lot easier, after three rounds of drinking, the people in the house were sent out, Wang Tong asked with a smile: "Now that Liaozhen is conquering the Jurchens, what does Lord Li think about this."
