Chapter 745: The Old Man of Liaodong
After listening to Xu Liang's words, more than a dozen Liaodong civil and military officers in the hall looked at Xu Liang in shock. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Hah! What did the Governor just say? Recovering the Liaodong Peninsula? Wu Sangui sneered sarcastically and shook his head again and again: "Has the governor figured out where the Liaodong Peninsula is?" Just rely on the 30,000 people under your command to recover the Liaodong Peninsula? The governor knew that there were 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses under Mao Wenlong, the chief soldier of Phi Dao, and he only dared to operate near Phi Dao, and did not dare to go inland! Hehe, Lord Governor, you have to think clearly before talking like this! ”
Xu Liang glanced at Wu Sangui coldly, for this young general of the same age as himself, Xu Liang didn't have a good impression of him at all.
He raised his head and said: "General Mao is General Mao, and this official is this official!" How can they be confused? ”
Sun Chengzong frowned, looked at Xu Liang, shook his head slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Xu, the first task of the Liaodong army is to consolidate the Guanning defense line, prevent the Qing army from moving south, and threaten the Beijing division!" As for the recovery of the Liaodong Peninsula, now is not the time. The first task at the moment is to restore Dalinghe City! Lord Xu can't go in the opposite direction. ”
Xu Liang had already guessed that Elder Sun Ge would not agree to his proposal, so he said coldly: "Your Excellency, the plan of the next official has been decided!" I'm just letting you know right now. As for whether you agree or not, that's not for me to consider. ”
Sun Chengzong's face sank, and Wu Sangui exclaimed: "Xu Liang! How dare you speak so to the Governor! ”
"Humph!" Xu Liang snorted coldly.
The Liaodong civil and military forces present looked at Xu Liang in shock, they never expected that Xu Liang would be so tough, facing Sun Chengzong, the cabinet minister and governor of Jiliao, Xu Liang did not have the slightest consciousness to face his boss!
The senior engineer of Ningyuan Prefect quietly stayed away from Xu Liang a little.
Sun Chengzong stared at Xu Liang with a gloomy face, quite annoyed in his heart. He proposed to the emperor to transfer Xu Liang from Shaanxi to Liaodong, the main purpose was to set up Xu Liang, so that the court could regain control of Shaanxi, and put Xu Liang under his nose, which was also convenient for monitoring and preventing Xu Liang from messing around.
There were more than 100,000 troops on the Guanning defense line, and even if Xu Liang had 30,000 Liang troops loyal to him, in front of the hundreds of thousands of Liaodong troops, Sun Chengzong forgave Xu Liang for not making any moves.
However, if Xu Liang is allowed to go to the Liaodong Peninsula, he is allowed to get out of the control of the Liaodong Army, and judging from Xu Liang's methods in Shaanxi, Xu Liang is very likely to develop into a warlord who will give the court a headache again.
Elder Sun Ge shouted in a deep voice: "Old man repeats again, the first task in Liaodong at the moment is to restore Dalinghe City!" All Liaodong belonged, without military officials, and all kinds of armies, must contribute to the restoration of the Daling River. Without the order of the old man, any army is transferred without permission and will be punished for treason! After that, Sun Ge Lao glanced at the Liaodong civil and military forces present with a sharp gaze, and shouted: "Do you all understand? ”
Liaodong Wenwu got up in unison, and shouted at Sun Ge Lao: "Xiaguan (the last general) obeys the order!" ”
Elder Sun Ge nodded and glared at Xu Liang with the rest of his eyes.
Xu Liang sneered, knowing that Sun Ge was always worried about letting himself out, he had no way to control the situation.
In the next meeting, Sun Ge Lao did not ask Xu Liang again, and of course, he did not mention the matter of transferring Liang's army to Dalinghe Fort to build a city.
After coming out of the governor's palace, Xu Liang went straight back to the Liaodong governor's yamen in the east of the city. Niu Er and the other four people relied on the advantage of being in Ningyuan City for more than ten years, and by the afternoon, they had temporarily recruited more than 100 people. He called these people into the front yard of the governor's yamen, lined up in three lines, and asked Xu Liang to come out to inspect them.
Xu Liang and Dai Feng went out to take a look, and Xu Liang was still very satisfied with Niu Er's efficiency. After training more than a hundred recruits without pain, and asking the others to take them out for a brief training first, Xu Liang called Niu Er over.
"My lord, the one hundred and twenty new recruits are all carefully screened by the four younger brothers, all of them have innocent family backgrounds, and none of them have ever been soldiers." Niu Er said to Xu Liang, quite proudly between his words.
Xu Liang nodded lightly and said, "Well, Niu Er, you did a good job." With these people, the governor's yamen is also a little bit like that. For the time being, we won't recruit people, you will train these 120 people and let them enter the role as soon as possible. It's just that this official and General Dai are on Juehua Island, and the governor's yamen in Ningyuan City will not stay for a long time, and when I am not there, the daily affairs of the governor's yamen will be taken care of by you Niu Er. ”
Niu Er was excited when he heard this, and secretly said that his two years of enduring humiliation were not in vain. So quickly, he gained the trust of the Governor! This is a great responsibility!
Niu Er immediately raised his head and said solemnly: "The subordinates obey the order." ”
"Well, go down and do a good job, this official will never treat his own people badly." Xu Liang waved his hand and said indifferently.
Niu Er was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly bowed his hand respectfully and retreated.
Dai Feng followed Xu Liang to the study, Dai Feng frowned and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, Sun Chengzong openly announced at the meeting today that he was not allowed to mobilize the army without his order. He did not agree to recover the Liaodong Peninsula again! In this way, we will be very passive. ”
Xu Liang said: "Old Sun Ge is scared!" But for now, let's be patient, and wait until the shipbuilders sent by Ge Qiao from the south arrive, and we have built enough ships, and we can make plans after we have the ability to leave. ”
Dai Feng sighed: "Now it can only be like this. ”
Niu Er's voice sounded respectfully outside the study: "Lord Governor, an old man surnamed Xu came to the door of the yamen and wanted to ask to see Lord Governor." ”
"Surname Xu?" Xu Liang frowned, thought about it for a long time, and didn't remember that he still had an old man surnamed Xu in Liaodong. Then he said, "Let him in." ”
Xu Liang and Dai Feng walked out, and when they walked to the front yard of the governor's yamen, they saw two middle-aged men wearing black cloaks striding in under the guidance of Niu Er, and when they came to the courtyard, they saw Xu Liang and Dai Feng, and the man led by them stopped.
Xu Liang looked at this person suspiciously, "Are you ......?" ”
"Hehe, I haven't seen you for many years, Brother Xu is already the governor of the city." The middle-aged man laughed, and then lifted the black cloak, revealing a resolute face under the cloak.
Xu Liang looked at it fixedly, then he was overjoyed, strode forward, patted the man's arm, and laughed happily: "Xu Changqing! How are you! ”
The person who came was actually Xu Changqing, a thousand households of the former Jinyi Wei Xi'an! After Xu Changqing was assigned to Liaodong, Xu Liang had no chance to meet Xu Changqing in the past few years.
Xu Changqing laughed, lowered his head and bowed his hand to Xu Liang: "Grass people Xu Changqing see Lord Governor!" ”
Xu Liang hurriedly supported him and reproached: "Brother Xu, what is the relationship between you and me, can you use this set?" ”
Xu Changqing laughed, then looked over Xu Liang and nodded at Dai Feng behind Xu Liang, which was regarded as a greeting.
Then, Xu Changqing pulled another person beside him and said to Xu Liang and Dai Feng: "Lord Xu, General Dai, this is Xu's righteous son, Ling Qing!" Ling Qing, I've seen Lord Governor and General Dai soon! ”
Ling Qing took off his cloak, revealing a thin face, and saluted respectfully towards Xu Liang and Dai Feng.
Xu Liang smiled at Xu Changqing and said, "Brother Xu, don't stand here, let's talk in the house." ”
After a few people went to the living room to sit down, Niu Er arranged for someone to serve tea and snacks, and Xu Liang asked a few words about Xu Changqing's recent situation.
After Xu Changqing finished speaking briefly, he led the topic to Yizi Ling Qing.
"Ling Qing, this kid was originally a talent from a certain county in Huguang, who was framed and sent to Liaodong. After arriving in Liaodong, he was arranged to build a city in Jinzhou, because he couldn't bear the oppression of the guards, he looked for an opportunity to escape, and was later chased and killed by the soldiers, so I met ......"
Xu Changqing said Ling Qing's origin, and he was very concerned about this Ling Qing between his words, Ling Qing sat on the side, his face was slightly red, and he seemed very embarrassed.
Dai Feng asked: "Xu Changqing, I listen to the meaning of your words, are you no longer in Jinyiwei now?" "When Xu Changqing was assigned to Liaodong, Luo Yangxing, the governor of Jinyiwei, thought that Xu Changqing had made a lot of contributions to Jinyiwei, so he did not expel Jinyiwei, but still retained the identity of Jinyiwei, and arranged to go to Liaodong to spy on the Qing army.
Xu Changqing's expression was slightly gloomy, he pointed to the black cloak on the coffee table, and said self-deprecatingly: "After I arrived in Liaodong, because Liaodong's Jinyi Wei Qianhu had some festivals with me in the early years, and now I fell into his hands, this villain sent me to the Qing army to find out information in order to take revenge on me, and escaped death several times!" The last time, I took a team of people out and fell into an ambush by the Qing army, except for Xu, everyone else died, but after I came back, that Liaodong Qianhu actually framed me and wanted to kill me, hum! Xu was angry, injured the thousand households, and simply turned out of Jinyiwei! ”
Xu Liang knew that Xu Changqing and Ling Qing, one of them fled, and the other betrayed Jinyiwei, they were both wanted by the government, no wonder they had to wear a cloak and face in broad daylight.
When Xu Liang and Dai Feng heard this, they couldn't help but exclaim.
Then Xu Liang asked, "Brother Xu and Ling Qing came to me this time, it's not just as simple as catching up with the past, right?" ”
Xu Changqing was silent for a while, sighed, stared at Xu Liang, and said, "If I say that Ling Qing and I are here because we have no place to go and have made a special trip to join the governor, do you believe it?" ”
Xu Liang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "I believe it!" ”
Xu Changqing was slightly stunned and said with a wry smile: "You really won't save face for me." He spread the harmony and said self-deprecatingly: "Now that I have made my intentions clear, does the governor dare to accept our father and son?" ”
Xu Liang said categorically: "Dare! What would you not dare?! There is nothing in this world that I Xu Liang dare not do! Don't hide it from Brother Xu, I Xu Liang came to Liaodong, and I had no choice but to do it, and Sun Chengzong, the governor of Jiliao, has been on guard against me! Those Liaodong civil and military forces are all looking forward to Sun Chengzong's horse, hehe, I, Xu Liang, am in Liaodong, and I am also an isolated person! ”
"Right now, I, Xu Liang, are employing people, Brother Xu and Ling Qing can join, Xu can't ask for it!"
Xu Changqing seemed to be secretly relieved, arched his hand towards Xu Liang, and said, "Although it is too obvious to say it, Xu still wants to say, thank you!" ”
"Brother Xu is polite."
At this time, Ling Qing said worriedly: "Lord Xu, the identity of my father and me, I'm afraid it will still bring trouble to adults. ”
Xu Liang pouted disdainfully, "I, Xu Liang, have always had a lot of troubles. This little thing of yours doesn't matter to me at all. ”
Ling Qing said: "My identity, I believe that with the face of the governor, it is not difficult for the government to revoke the wanted warrant." It's just that my father betrayed Jinyiwei, and it was Jinyiwei Yamen who issued a wanted notice, but this matter is very tricky. ”
Xu Liang paused, and Sen Ran said: "Ling Qing, don't worry, since Brother Xu is already a person under my Xu Liang, if Jin Yiwei wants to move him, he has to weigh the consequences!" ”
Ling Qing looked at Xu Liang in surprise, with a sense of shock in his eyes. Jinyiwei is investigating the world's corporals and people, and the murderer is famous, Xu Liang didn't pay attention to it at all? !
That night, Xu Liang held a banquet at the governor's yamen to welcome Xu Changqing and Ling Qing to join. At the banquet, the four of them chatted and talked about what happened in the yamen of the governor's palace during the day.
When he heard that Xu Liang had seriously injured Zu Dashou, Xu Changqing exclaimed, frowned and thought about it, and then said to Xu Liang: "My lord, you injured Zu Dashou, I'm afraid you have already formed a grudge with the entire Liaodong general!" This is extremely detrimental to future development. ”
Since they are determined to belong to Xu Liang, Xu Changqing and Ling Qing have already consciously called Xu Liang an adult.
Xu Liang listened carefully, and Dai Feng sneered: "Isn't it just an ancestral birthday, it's the ancestor who provoked the trouble first, and the virtuous son-in-law will beat it!" ”
Xu Changqing shook his head and said: "Things are not as simple as General Dai imagined, the military generals of Liaodong, headed by Zu Dashou!" The generals of all walks of life in Liaodong, Zu Dashou has the highest prestige. Not to mention anything else, beating Zu Dashou is at least equivalent to beating Wu Xiang's father and son. ”
"Huh?"
Xu Liang looked at Xu Changqing in surprise.
Xu Changqing said: "Wu Xiang is Zu Dashou's general, Zu Dashou's sister married Wu Xiang, in other words, Zu Dashou is not only Wu Xiang's boss, but also his uncle!" And Wu Sangui has to be called the uncle of Zu Dashou! ”
When Xu Liang and Dai Feng heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned, Xu Liang scolded: "What a messy relationship! ”
In a side room in the governor's palace, Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui stood in front of Zu Dashou's hospital bed, Wu Sangui looked down at Zu Dashou worriedly, listening to Zu Dashou coughing from time to time, and sweating on his head.
"Uncle, how are you feeling? Is it better? Wu Sangui asked.
Zu Dashou opened his eyes, looked at Wu Sangui, and naturally showed a smile on his face, and said, "Uncle, I don't have a big deal!" Ahem! ”
Zu Dashou coughed for a while, then covered his mouth with a handkerchief again, and wiped it carefully, a trace of red blood still seeped out from between the white handkerchiefs, and Zu Dashou put it aside without a trace.
Wu Sangui saw it, his fists clenched tightly, and his face was resentful.
Zu Dashou said: "I heard that at the meeting today, you choked Xu Liang a few words? ”
Wu Sangui pursed his lips and snorted coldly: "Xu Liang is self-righteous, and he still thinks that Liaodong is his Shaanxi Province!" When I first came to Liaodong, I didn't even recognize all the people and wanted to recover the Liaodong Peninsula? What a dream! ”
Zu Dashou frowned and reproached: "Uncle Chang, you are reckless!" You are just a general of Ning Yuan, and Xu Liang is also the governor of Liaodong! Xu Liang's matter, there is his own governor to comment on the rebellion, why do you need to be strong? ”
Wu Sangui choked, and his eyes were very unconvinced. (To be continued.) )
