In March, Liaodong was still depressed, and the land was covered with snow, and there was no intention of melting at all. The trees on the side of the street are also bare, swaying with the cold wind, occasionally hanging a dead branch.

As the political and cultural center of Liaodong, Liaoyang City is very prosperous, and as soon as the city gate is opened, many people enter and exit. The hunters brought their prey, hoping to sell it for a good price and buy some food when they returned. If they still have enough money, pulling a piece of cloth for their mother-in-law and children is their greatest wish in their hearts.

There are many households in Liaoyang City, and the most common people on the street are not the people who enter the city, but the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. The most important town in eastern Liaoning, Liaoyang City was garrisoned with 70,000 Ming troops. The Liaodong Governor's Yamen is located in Liaoyang City, which is a yamen in the east of the city.

In the second hall of the governor's yamen, Yang Lian, the governor of Liaodong, was sitting on a chair drinking tea. I have been working in Liaodong for more than half a year, although the time is not short, but Yang Lian still doesn't like the climate of Liaodong. In such a cold winter, Yang Lian has always kept the teacup in his hand, first, it can be warmer, and secondly, Yang Lian does not drink.

"You adults have such a big shelf, when do you want this official to wait? It's not a good thing to hide your head and tail like this! Putting the teacup in his hand on the table and glancing at the person sitting below, Yang Lian frowned and said in a rather dissatisfied tone.

The man didn't care, and he didn't look at Yang Lian, he took a sip of the tea bowl on the table for a short time, and said with a smile: "Lord Yang, your tea is not very good, there is no good Longjing here in Liaodong, and I don't know if adults can drink it!" ”

frowned slightly, there are not many people who know about the things he likes and Longjing, and this person seems to know very well. I recalled the appearance of this person in my mind, although it felt a little familiar. But I couldn't think of anything.

"Adults don't have to think about it, lowly duties are small people, and it's not surprising that adults don't recognize them. If you come to an adult, don't say that you have to wait, you should wait. But my family is different, and it's still worth waiting for Lord Yang! The man was tepid. He always has an indifferent smile on his face, and he looks confident.

"Lord Yang has a very good temperament, it's really rude for you to talk to Lord Yang like this!" Suddenly, a man's voice sounded outside, smiled heartily, pushed the door and walked in.

It seemed that he had already known that someone would come in, Yang Lian didn't look up, and said with a smile: "I've been waiting for a long time, Lord Luo's shelf is big enough." Although they are all pro-army of the Son of Heaven, this person you sent is not enough to deal with this official! ”

The person who came in was slightly stunned. He laughed loudly, took the coat on his body, and said, "Lord Yang is worthy of Lord Yang, you all go out!" He waved his hand at the people in the room, and commanded in a casual tone.

"Come on, serve tea!" Without answering the man's words, Yang Lian commanded to the servants beside him.

When the tea was served, Yang Lian waved his hand. With a serious face, he said, "You all go down!" Tell me not to bother me if there's nothing to do! ”

"Yes. Master! The servant replied respectfully, bowed and withdrew.

There were only two people left in the room, but no one spoke, and the man had already sat opposite Yang Lian, looking at Yang Lian with a smile.

"This official has been thinking that for such a big thing as the restructuring of Liaodong, the emperor will definitely send someone to assist Lord Sun. Benguan thought about it for a long time. I thought about all the people in the capital, but I didn't find a suitable one. However, the person who has just met the adult, the official finally suddenly realized that the emperor is full of wisdom, which is really beyond the reach of our courtiers! Yang Lian smiled bitterly and shook his head. There was helplessness in his tone.

The man picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, then his face became a little strange, and he said with a smile: "I heard that Lord Yang likes to drink Longjing before, but today I see that the rumors are wrong!" ”

"Although Yang likes to be with Longjing, it is okay if he doesn't, after all, national affairs are important. As soon as the concubine laughed on the red dust, no one knew that it was a lychee, the emperor wanted to take this as a warning, and our courtiers naturally had to take this as a warning. Looking at the man with a serious face, Yang Lian said with a serious face.

"Your Excellency is really righteous, and you deserve to be the emperor's trusted minister! Sure enough, it lives up to its name! The man arched his hand at Yang Lian and said with a smile on his face.

Nodding at some point, Yang Lian straightened his expression and said in a serious tone: "Lord Luo, as a dignified commander of the Jinyi Guard, wouldn't you be here to talk about this with Yang?" Didn't the emperor let you come to Liaodong to play? ”

Nodding quite seriously, Luo Sigong's expression became serious, and he said in a low tone: "Lord Yang, and Lord Yang Luo will not hide anything, the emperor is indeed worried about the affairs of Liaodong." Although Lord Sun is capable and has a high prestige in the Liaodong Army, there are some things that no one can say. Regarding the restructuring of Liaodong, the emperor has issued a strict decree, and Luo will not interfere at all, and all of them are deployed by Lord Sun. Luo came to Liaodong for the sake of the past, if there is any situation, it can be solved in time. ”

Nodding slowly, Yang Lian's expression was also very serious, and he said to Luo Sigong on the side: "There will be no problem with the restructuring of Shenyang City, after all, there is Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong, and He Shixian, the chief soldier of Shenyang." There are two people here, no one dares to do anything, and no one can do anything. Everyone knows that if the system is really reformed, it must be good news for the lowest-level soldiers of the guard. There are people above to clamp down, and the soldiers below don't follow to make trouble, so things are naturally much easier. Saying this, Yang Lian sighed, and a trace of helplessness flashed on his face.

Glancing at Yang Lian, Luo Sigong nodded with a smile, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Yang, it's certain that there is trouble, otherwise why did the emperor send Lord Sun and Lord Yang to Liaodong?" Why did you send Luo to Liaodong as well? With us here, no matter how big the trouble is, it is not a trouble! ”

"Lord Luo is really heroic!" Laughing loudly, Yang Lian continued: "The restructuring of Liaodong is, in the final analysis, two places, one is Shenyang City and the other is Liaoyang City. As for the rest of the place, they are all grass on the wall, and when the matter is really done, they can only accept their fate. Now Shenyang City is not a big problem, but Liaoyang City is a little troublesome! ”

"Lord Yang, please speak, Luo is listening!" Luo Sigong nodded cautiously and said in a low tone.

Nodding vigorously, Yang Lian said in a deep voice: "Since the battle of Shenyang City, the situation in Liaodong has been good, and Sun Dashuai's rectification of the military in Liaodong has been quite improving. Now there are seven general soldiers in Liaoyang City, and no one is in command of 10,000 soldiers, and these seven people are the focus of this restructuring. As long as they don't oppose it and don't make any trouble, the matter of restructuring will be nine out of ten. ”

Nodding in agreement, Luo Sigong looked at Yang Lian with blazing eyes, without the slightest expression on his face. He also knows these things, after all, Jin Yiwei is not a vegetarian here.

"Of the seven general soldiers, five were here before the official took office, and the remaining two were promoted in the Battle of Shenyang. Although they were promoted after the war, they were all generals, and it was not easy to use them for anything. However, three of the seven generals were hereditary officers, and the remaining four were not. However, the embezzlement of military salaries by these people may not be so serious, but there are still a lot of things that oppress the guards. Yang Lian told all the news he had learned, with a faint sadness on his face, he had been thinking about this since he got the restructuring.

Listening to Yang Lian's words, Luo Sigong on the side laughed and said, "Lord Yang, you are smart and confused for a while!" Liaodong faces Jiannu, which is the gateway to the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty. The reform of the army is the top priority, why did the emperor try it out in Liaodong? Wouldn't it be better to put it somewhere else where there is no danger? Lord Yang always thinks about the troublesome side, doesn't he think of the favorable side? ”

Yang Lian was stunned for a moment, his mind couldn't help spinning, and he patted his forehead lightly in fear and said: "Since Salhu, the guard system in Liaodong has almost existed in name only, and now the soldiers in Liaoyang and Shenyang are basically paid military salaries. Although the land was divided among them, and the system was similar to the original, these soldiers did not have military status! ”

Looking at Yang Lian with a smile, Luo Sigong's smug face was obviously able to remind Yang Lian and make him feel very proud.

"As long as those generals are well controlled, they don't make trouble, and the restructuring will be fine. As long as the soldiers know what the court wants and don't let them incite the army, then the big thing can be done! Luo Sigong smiled and then became serious again, with a little caution on his face, and lowered his voice.

"Is there going to be a move over there in Shenyang?" Seeing Luo Sigong say this, Yang Lian immediately understood, and said with some surprise.

Not everyone knows about the restructuring of Liaodong, maybe the news has already passed from the Jingshi, but not many people know about it. This layer of window paper has not been pierced, and everyone pretends to be nothing.

If there is a move on the Shenyang side, it will be equivalent to the last moment, and success or failure will be in one fell swoop!

"Well, Lord Sun has already decided, and tomorrow he will start releasing news in Shenyang to carry out restructuring. Liaoyang doesn't need to move, but it is necessary to stabilize Liaoyang and not make mistakes. This matter is Lord Yang and Luo's, we have to study it carefully! A hint of excitement flashed on Luo Sigong's face, and he said seriously.

Frowning and thinking about it, Yang Lian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the ultimate thing to come is to come. What does this restructuring mean for Liaodong? What does it mean for the Ming Dynasty? Yang Lian felt that he had faintly seen it, but he didn't know it very clearly! How nice it would be if it was really what I thought in my heart!
