Liaoyang City is still covered with snow in April, and the snow on the earth has been civilized at this time of year, but this year there is no meaning of civilization. However, the weather has begun to get warmer, which makes many people breathe a sigh of relief, if it does not get warmer, this year's spring ploughing may be delayed.

Although the weather has warmed up, the atmosphere in Liaoyang City has become more and more weird, and the faces of the soldiers are full of joy, but there is no smile on the faces of the generals. Everywhere he went, his face was full of sorrow, and his temper grew bigger and bigger.

In the east of Liaoyang City, there is a house that is not very big, but no one dares to underestimate it here, because this is the mansion of Zhao Linguang, the chief soldier of Liaoyang. As the chief soldier of Liaoyang, Zhao Linguang actually has the title of Liaoyang guard, and Zhao Linguang, as the guard general of Liaodong, has a higher status than He Shixian, the guard general of Shenyang City.

Perhaps in other places, the status of the guards of a city is really not high, and when they see officials, they are one level lower. Compared with the prefect of the city, it is one level lower, but it is not allowed in Liaoyang City, and the generals of the frontier land have their own henchmen and generals, and the power is still relatively large. What's more, the guards of Liaoyang City, who command the seven general soldiers of Liaoyang City, naturally cannot be underestimated.

Zhao Lianguang's mansion is full of people coming and going, but on this day, no matter who comes, they are all blocked by the gatehouse. At this turbulent time, the door of Zhao Linguang's mansion was closed tightly, but everyone's hearts were quite worried.

Although he is a military general, Zhao Linguang's study is similar to a people's study, with four treasures and various books. However, most of the books are military books, Sun Tzu's Art of War, Guiguzi and so on.

However, Zhao Linguang was not in the mood to read at this time, there was a fire in the study, there were chairs in the room, and several people were sitting on the chairs. On the table on one side was already cold tea, and no one was in the mood to drink water at this time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the restructuring of Shenyang has been going on for a month, the situation is very stable, and the restructuring is almost over. We all know that the next one must be our Liaoyang, I don't know what everyone thinks. I brought you here today, and I hope you don't have to be restrained, just say what you think. Zhao Linguang's gaze swept over everyone's bodies, with a smile on his face, but there was a cold light in his eyes.

Liaodong was originally also made by the guard, but after the battle of Sarhu, the base of the guard system was abandoned. The battalion soldiers recruited by the recruitment system that replaced it, the generals are also not at the level of small flags, general flags, 100 households, 1000 households, and commanders. In the middle, there are also official positions such as trial 100 households, deputy 1,000 households, thrift, and Tongzhi, which are divided in great detail. The ranks of the battalion soldiers have been replaced by the ranks of general, thousand, guerrilla general, staff general, and general soldier, although the titles are different, but the corresponding ranks are still the same.

Zhao Linguang, the defender of Liaoyang, is actually a hereditary Tongzhi, with the title of Liaoyang General Soldier. Originally, he should be regarded as the commander of Liaodong and commanded the entire army and horses in Liaodong. However, because of the collapse of the Wei system, there were more than 20 people in the total army in Liaodong, and no one could have the power to command the envoys.

Because of the mixture of the conscription system and the guard system, the generals in Liaodong are also very chaotic, and they often have both the official rank of the guard system and the position of the conscription system. The relationship is very complicated, and there are many involved.

After listening to Zhao Linguang's words, several thousands of households all looked at each other, with a little helplessness on their faces. One of the dark-faced general soldiers sighed, with a deep bitterness in his tone, and said, "General, things have come to this point, what else can we do?" Now that the governor's yamen has spoken, the news has already spread. The boys in the barracks are all happy, and we can't let people suppress the news. In the past, it was possible to be annoyed and fool some of those who were soldiers. If you want to do this well now, I'm afraid it's not easy! ”

"What General Zhou said makes sense, we have been in Liaoyang for many years, and we are all clear about the situation here. The soldier said that he was not happy, his head was pinned to the belt of his trousers, and he really didn't care so much about the court. But now that Sun Dashuai is sitting in Liaodong, and the prestige in the army is so high, this is a good thing for being a soldier, and we have no way to stop it! The man sitting next to the dark-faced general chimed in, with a wry smile on his face, but with a hint of clarity in his eyes.

"General Zhou and General Cheng, what you both said is the truth, if you both want to accept the restructuring with peace of mind, do we still need to come here? Since everyone has done it together, they naturally don't want to accept the restructuring. I explained that everyone sitting here is not clean under their buttocks, and they don't say if they have any money in the future, and what we did before was not clean. Now we are measuring the land and checking the accounts, and once the matter comes out, we are afraid that we will all go to prison. Everyone remembers what happened last time, Yin Jian is not far away, and we may become the next batch. A red-faced sweat glanced at the two people, and couldn't help but speak, his eyes still sweeping over everyone's faces as he spoke.

The atmosphere in the room was once again dull, and everyone's faces were full of sorrow, what can I do! In the future, there will be no land, and the military salary will be fixed, and it will be difficult to make money. As long as one person is stabbed under the deduction of military salaries, things will be in trouble. I heard that Shenyang City has issued a rule, and each soldier's salary is two taels of silver per month. It's nothing to these officials, but for the taxi below, these two taels of silver are enough for the family to eat. If there are more than a dozen acres of land, this is very good.

The soldiers were naturally happy, but the generals were sad, and they were naturally much taller than the soldiers. But compared to before, it is too much worse, if you really pay silver according to this, then it will be difficult to think about such a thing.

Several of the general soldiers lowered their heads, and finally their eyes fell on Zhao Linguang, obviously waiting for him to pay attention. The people present were all headed by Zhao Linguang, and his interests in this were also the greatest.

Zhao Linguang's expression was also unusually serious, his fingers kept tapping on the tabletop, and his brows were furrowed tightly. He can naturally figure out what is going on, even if it is a mutiny now, I'm afraid there will be no good results. The soldiers have already gotten the news, and they are full of good life, who wants to do this kind of thing with you with their heads.

But really accepted the restructuring, but Zhao Linguang's heart was unwilling, and he gave away what he deserved all of a sudden, no matter how he felt like he was cutting his own flesh. After a long time, Zhao Linguang sighed deeply, and said with a wry smile: "Everyone, the general doesn't have any good ideas, since the imperial court has made up its mind, we can only wait obediently." Shenyang City is almost ready, what can we do? The governor's yamen didn't say anything, and his attitude was already very obvious, not to mention what was the identity of that Lord Yang? ”

Several people's faces showed helplessness, and although they were reluctant, they were all relieved. After all, it's probably worse to really do anything. If something happens, it doesn't necessarily end well.

"Don't worry, what General Liu said just now won't happen. There has been news from Shenyang City, only the land is measured, and as for other things, it is all the past, so everyone can go back with peace of mind! But don't take it lightly, go back and prepare! With a slight wave of his hand, Zhao Linguang's face was full of gloom.

When everyone left, Zhao Linguang sighed deeply and muttered, "The court is so clever at playing!" It's a good idea to not blame the past! With this article, even if we, the general soldiers, want to make trouble, the generals below may not follow, and if there is opposition from the soldiers, it will not be possible! ”

At this time, a few words suddenly flashed in Zhao Linguang's mind, people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat!

Two streets away from Zhao Linguang's mansion, that is, the Liaodong Governor's Yamen, at this time, Yang Lian was walking back and forth in the study.

"Lord Yang, sit down! Readers say that Mount Tai collapses in front of it and the color remains unchanged, which is not the bearing you should have! Luo Sigong, who was sitting on the side, held a cup of tea in his hand, took a sip gently, and said with a smile.

Lord Luo laughed, if there is really anything else, Yang's life and death are small, and it is a big matter to delay the reform of the imperial court! When Yang left the capital, he carried the emperor's letter, and he couldn't do anything at this time, and the people who were waiting were anxious! Although he said this, Yang Lian still sat on the side, took a sip of his tea.

Putting the teacup on the table with a smile, Luo Sigong touched the wrench in his hand, his expression gradually became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Lord Yang's character and ability are very good, the emperor believes in Lord Yang is not without reason, and Lord Yang does not have to be arrogant." Luo has dealt with those, and although they are all rude, they are not stupid. Knowing that they can't do it, they won't do it, we just wait here for news! ”

Yang Lian didn't say anything, and now there is no news and it's useless to say anything, but Luo Sigong has a determined face, is there any news? But he didn't want to say it, and Yang Lian didn't like to ask.

"After the restructuring of Liaodong this time, with Master Sun organizing and training a new army, the entire Liaodong will definitely change greatly. I may not dare to say this year, but I will definitely be able to fight with Jiannu next year, even if I can't sweep the grassland, it's no problem to annihilate the Jiannu who are coming. In a few years, I'm afraid that Emperor Chengzu's sweeping of Mobei will happen again! Seeing that Yang Lian didn't speak, Luo Sigong glanced at him and said loudly.

"If the restructuring is really successful, Yang also believes that there will be a day!" Obviously, these two people had no doubts about Sun Chengzong's ability, and they both had respect on their faces.

Footsteps suddenly sounded outside, and a captain of a thousand households walked in, saluted the two people, and said respectfully: My lord, that side is over, and they have decided to obey the reform! ”

Luo Sigong and Yang Lian all breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile suddenly appeared on their faces! (To be continued.)
