Liaodong patrol according to tension, strictly speaking, is not a magistrate.

The patrol is to inspect the place on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and to put it bluntly, it is similar to the responsibility of the "inspection team" in later generations. It does not manage local civil affairs, so Zhang Li only needs to go to Liaodong to inspect at the right time to be competent.

Zhang Li's biggest goal at the moment is to get as many troops as possible for Tuanshan Fort. Later, Zhou Yanru helped, and Wen Tiren finally had to agree to the scale of 15,000 people. After the cabinet reported the number of soldiers in Tuanshan Fort, Chongzhen stayed in the middle and didn't send it, and I don't know what it means?

Originally, the most important task of Zhang Li's official position in Liaodong was to quell the mutiny at Tuanshan Fort, but now Chongzhen's attitude is unclear, and Zhang Li can only wait patiently.

Zhang Zhang went back to Tuanshan Fort three days ago and dealt with two things.

The first is to have a night talk with Song Yingxing, who experienced Tuanshan Fort, and vigorously supported him to carry out various scientific and technological research and inventions in Tuanshan Fort, the most important of which is agricultural scientific research.

Zhang Zhang is very clear that Song Yingxing has an incisive discussion on seed selection and breeding in "Heavenly Creation", so the task of improving the varieties of corn and potatoes in Tuanshanbao has been led by Song Yingxing.

It's a long process that may take many years to achieve. However, with Song Yingxing's ability, if there are fewer detours, the cycle should be shortened. This is not an atomic bomb - as long as the yield of corn and potatoes increases year by year, tension does not expect to yield 10,000 catties per mu as soon as it comes, and the varieties under improvement are also edible.

The second thing is to personally escort the military salaries, grains and grass that Shanhaiguan transported to Guangningwei after the beginning of spring to Jinzhou City, which is naturally for Zu Dashou and Chongzhen.

Two things are done. Zhang Zhang immediately returned to Beijing City and did not stay too long in Tuanshan Fort.

That's it. At least Zu Dashou's supply line for the Quang Ninh Army was not cut off by the "rebels", which shows that the work of Zhang Li has been effective.

Zhang Zhang did not dare to be careless. carefully concocted a letter and presented it to Chongzhen. After a great deal of "arduous" work, the rebels have now agreed to the salaries, grain, and grass sent by Shanhaiguan to Guangningwei, and that the "rebels" in Tuanshan Fort are now waiting for the imperial court's salaries......

In fact, it is all nonsense to say "military salary", and the court and the emperor must have no money. This is nothing more than a tactic of tension, and the military pay can be in arrears, but the establishment must be fixed - food and armaments should not be left in vain.

After returning to Jingshi, Chongzhen did not summon Zhang Li. There are many things in the imperial court, since Jiannu did not attack Liaodong, it is a matter of year for the soldiers to make trouble. Nothing unusual.

On this day, Zhang Zhang made an appointment with Chen Zhengcao, a member of the warehouse division of the household department, and Gu Youfeng, the director of the examination department of the Ministry of Officials, to come to Dongjiang Building for dinner.

Dongjiang Building was previously opened on the street next to the Red Temple Restaurant, and the taste was actually not bad, but the name was not as big as the Red Temple Restaurant, and the business was not very good.

But recently, Dongjiang Tower has suddenly become popular, and all the diners in the Red Temple Restaurant have moved their nests in the past - the reason is naturally that Mr. Zhang does not go to the Red Temple Restaurant, but comes here.

There are many officials in Jingshi, but there are very few who can enter the eyes of the master of the Hanlin Academy. Master Ma is the existence that the world's scholars look up to-hmm. The key is that Master Ma is "full of peach and plum all over the world", half of the officials in charge of Xue Zheng in the Ming Dynasty are from his disciples, and Shuntianfu Xue Zheng is the protégé of Master Ma!

In the Ming Dynasty, these talented and well-behaved lords often dared to criticize even ministers such as Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru. However, these people are not interested in academic politics. That's more respectful than treating your own father and mother......

Dongjiang Building has no background, and the proprietor is just an ordinary businessman. For Zhang Li's visit, the proprietor specially instructed the shopkeeper to get a VIP private room to come out to receive him.

There is no "private room fee" for this private room. There is no service charge, and the price of the dish is half price. I'm afraid that Master Zhang won't come often......

At this moment, Zhang Zhang feasted Chen Zhengcao and Gu Youfeng in the VIP room, and drank for three rounds. After the five flavors of the dish, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually became lively.

The three of them were originally in the same year, and Zhang Zhang has been moving around with them quite frequently recently, and the friendship has skyrocketed.

After chatting for a while, the topic gradually came to the current situation.

Zhang Zhang is a foreign official, no better than Chen Zhengcao and Gu Youfeng. These two are Beijing officials, and they are not of high rank, but they can also participate in the court meeting. Therefore, a lot of inside information in the court meeting, Zhang Zhang learned through them.

After Chen Zhengcao toasted Zhang Li with a glass of wine, he sighed, put the wine glass down, shook his head and said, "Brother Zhang, the attention of the imperial court is completely attracted by the thief Gao Yingxiang at the moment, and your matter of Ning Yuanwei has been left behind by the imperial court——"

Zhang Zhang was slightly surprised, the thieves were really happy a year ago, and they were almost hitting the Xuanfu.

However, Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army drove from Beizhili to Xuanfu, and after several battles of annihilation, the thieves were completely defeated, and did not dare to go north again, but retreated to the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Zhang Zhang glanced at Chen Zhengcao, pouted, and said, "Brother Chen, didn't Lu Bingbei drive the thieves out of Xuanfu?" What, what's going on now? ”

Chen Zhengcao was about to speak, but Gu Youfeng, who was anxious, spoke first: "Brother Zhang doesn't know. The thieves were also divided into several shares, and they were also inseparable from each other. After Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, Li Zicheng, and Zhang Xianzhong, the king of the Eight Great Empires, were defeated by the Tianxiong army last year, they divided their troops into two routes. Second, Li went to Sichuan, and Zhang Xianzhong went to Huguang...... That Gao Yingxiang is now attacking Kuizhou! ”

The title of "King Chuang" has always been Gao Yingxiang, and now Li Zicheng calls himself "General Chuang", and his status is obviously inferior to Gao Yingxiang. After Gao Yingxiang was captured and killed by the imperial court in the ninth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng called himself "King Chuang".

Zhang Li frowned, and secretly frightened: Kuizhou, that is, Chongqing in the future - if Gao Yingxiang enters Sichuan, then the imperial court will suffer huge losses.

At present, the Ming Dynasty struggled to maintain the operation of the imperial court, and Sichuan was definitely one of them. The climate of the Sichuan Basin was not too cold during the Xiaoice period, so the grain production was still very high.

Zhang Li glanced at Gu Youfeng, frowned, and said, "If Gao Yingxiang enters Sichuan and causes Sichuan to erode, I'm afraid it will be more difficult for the imperial court to pay taxes." ”

Gu Youfeng nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhang is right, that's exactly the case. So now the court is full of chickens and dogs......"

Chen Zhengcao immediately interrupted Gu Youfeng's words: "Eh, let's just talk about this casually, Brother Gu don't talk about this when he goes outside-"

Gu Youfeng glanced at Chen Zhengcao, and said angrily: "Brother Chen, am I stupid?!" Brother Zhang is not an outsider! ”

Zhang Zhang laughed and said to the two: "I didn't expect that my Ming Dynasty would have a day when I don't talk about state affairs!" I thought I could say it casually! ”

Gu Youfeng glanced at Zhang Zhang meaningfully, and also laughed: "If we are talents, lifters, or science and technology officials, then naturally we are dead pigs who are not afraid of boiling water-"

Chen Zhengcao frowned and said: "Those people are just talking and dying, our ministry officials, we still need to worry about the heads and brains above......"

Zhang Zhang bowed slightly, and the official naturally said whatever he said casually, and no one cared. However, Chen Zhengcao is from the household department, and Gu Youfeng is from the official department, but he is not as good as the official.

Zhang Zhang quickly diverted the topic and asked Chen Zhengcao: "What arrangements does the imperial court have for Gao Yingxiang to enter Sichuan?" But is it necessary to transfer Lord Lu to Sichuan? ”

Zhang Li has the impression that Lu Xiangsheng has not been to Sichuan to suppress thieves, but now because of the existence of his own anomaly, history has deviated, and he should not be too superstitious about history.

For example, the sudden return of Zu Dashou to Beijing before him was really too serious, and now Ruochen and Jingping are still ......

When he thought of his woman, Zhang Li couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. But in just a moment, Chen Zhengcao's words pulled Zhang Li's thoughts back.

"The imperial court discussed for a long time, and finally decided to send Sichuan Shi Yan Xuanfu to make the old general Qin lead 10,000 white pole soldiers to aid Kuizhou......"

Qin Liangyu!

Zhang Li's heart suddenly aweed!

Among the generals in the late Ming Dynasty, there were no more than three people who made them awe-inspired, Lu Xiangsheng counted one, and Qin Liangyu definitely counted the other.

Qin Liangyu was a famous female general in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, and her husband Ma Qiancheng was a descendant of the Han Dynasty Fubo general Ma Yuan, and the hereditary Shi Yan Xuanfu envoy, which is commonly known as Tusi. After Ma Qiancheng's death, because his son Ma Xianglin was young, Qin Liangyu took the position of husband on his behalf.

Qin Liangyu led his brothers Qin Bangping and Qin Minping to participate in the battles against the Qing army, the rebellion of Pingxuan Chongming, and the blocking of Zhang Xianzhong.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen once wrote four poems to praise Qin Liangyu - Chongzhen is not Qianlong, he has no spare time to write poems in his life, but he made four poems for this female general.

Ancient China was a society in which men were superior to women, and all dynasties and dynasties revised history, and female celebrities were recorded in the biographies of women.

But Qin Liangyu is different!

Except for the words of Empress Wu Zetian, Qin Liangyu is the only one in China who has been in China for 5,000 years and will be recorded in the history books as a dynasty name.

"The Biography of Qin Liangyu in the History of the Ming Dynasty" records: Liangyu is brave and wise, good at riding and shooting, and has a good sense of words, and has elegant manners. And under the control of the severe, every march order, the army is solemn. The department is called the white pole soldier, and it is feared by far and near.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was also a "Liangyu", that is, the great warlord Zuo Liangyu.

However, Zuo Liangyu and Qin Liangyu, a man and a woman, have a difference of 108,000 miles in ability and image!

If Qin Liangyu were a man, he would definitely be promoted like a rocket-maybe Nanming is partial to the southwest, and it is unknown if he will survive for decades.

After all, there are many Tusi in the southwest, if Qin Liangyu is in power, Emperor Yongli will not flee to Burma, and in the end, he was captured by Wu Sangui from abroad and wiped it off......

Zhang Zhang was a little excited, if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely see the demeanor of Old General Qin with his own eyes! (To be continued.) )
