Chapter 15 The Tea Shed Debate

Yang Yingqian's hand holding the name card couldn't help but tremble slightly.

As one of the few people who had the opportunity and ability to change the fate of the Ming Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty, Yuan Chonghuan is definitely a thunderous name, but his final ending is too embarrassing.

"Where is your master, please lead the way with this little brother." Yang Yingqian handed the name card in his hand to Zhan Haozhi on the side.

"You go to the recruiting office to take care of it first, and I'll go see this Lord Yuan."

Zhan Haozhi and Hong Anlan hugged their fists at Yang Yingqian and then turned to leave, while Yang Yingqian followed the little guy to a tea shed not far from here.

Yang Yingqian, who was far away, saw a middle-aged man in a long-sleeved shirt with a round-necked sergeant sitting at a table by the window, who was looking at the crowd queuing not far away at the recruiting office with great interest.

"Xia Guan still thought that Lord Yang, who could do such a bold thing, would be a heavy guard general in the age of Ai, but he didn't expect that he was such a handsome young man, and he was really a hero!"

Yuan Chonghuan smiled and stroked the beard under his chin, and looked at Yang Yingqian with deep meaning, although Yang Yingqian is now under the command of Sanpin, and Yuan Chonghuan is only a county of Qipin, but at present, the Ming Dynasty is noble and martial, and the two are not subordinate to each other, so Yuan Chonghuan only waved his hand at Yang Yingqian.

"This official has also heard of the name of the Elemental Lord for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary!" Yang Yingqian arched his hand.

Hearing that Yang Yingqian could actually call out his own words, Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Xiaguan has never seen an adult, and he rarely walks around Shaowu, I don't know why Lord Yang is so familiar with Xiaguan?"

Yang Yingqian couldn't help but secretly curse himself for being a stupid person in his heart, and he was relaxed for a while and actually leaked his mouth.

"Although I have never seen an adult, but I have been friends with my lord for a long time, and my lord is a seven-grade main hall, but he climbed on the roof of the people to help him put out the fire, and this matter has been spread several times by the merchants who come and go!" Fortunately, Yang Yingqian reacted quickly and made up a lie in time to round this statement.

Yuan Chonghuan really raised his head and laughed: "It's a little thing, but it makes adults laugh!" ”

However, these simple words suddenly shortened the distance between the two, Yuan Chonghuan made a gesture of invitation to introduce Yang Yingqian into the tea shed, after Yang Yingqian sat down, the little guy brought a bowl of tea and put it in front of Yang Yingqian, Yuan Chonghuan nodded slightly, and the little guy retreated with interest.

"I don't know why Lord Yuan came to my Yongning Guard?"

Yang Yingqian took a sip of the tea in front of him, and asked with a smile.

"Xiaguan was originally going to Beijing to participate in the Beijing inspection at the end of the year, passing by Yongningwei happened to see the grand occasion of recruiting talents under the rule of the adult, this official was unheard of and quite novel, and immediately sent a small servant to invite the adult with a famous post."

Jingcha is a way for the imperial court to evaluate officials in the court, and the results of Jingcha are often based on the results of Jingcha's savings and dismissals.

Generally speaking, the Beijing officials are inspected every six years, and the local officials are inspected every three years. Whenever it is time to go to Beijing, the prefects and counties of the following provinces need to go to the local political envoys to gather at the yamen, and the political envoys of their own provinces will lead a team into Beijing to participate in the Jingcha.

This time, Yuan Chonghuan was going to Fuzhou to go to the political envoy Si Yamen, and passed by Yongningwei on the way, but he happened to meet Yongningwei.

"Xia Guan has some doubts in his heart, and he wants to ask Lord Yang!" Yuan Chonghuan still had a faint smile on his face.

"Lord Yuan, but it's okay to talk about it!"

"Although the lower officials came to Shao Wu when they entered the office, they also know more or less the current situation in the guards of my Daming Dynasty, which can be described as erosive for a long time. It is common for the military households of the guards to flee and be unusable, and the chief officers of the guards even drink the blood of the soldiers to fatten themselves. ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Chonghuan glanced at Yang Yingqian with deep meaning.

"Acting like Lord Yang, it's the first time I've seen it!"

Hearing Yuan Chonghuan's doubts, Yang Yingqian smiled slightly.

"I don't know if Lord Yuan knows about the Battle of the Hunhe River in Liaodong last year?"

"Xia Guan has read the Tang newspaper of the imperial court, Lord Ling Zun was also martyred in the Hunhe River, right?" Speaking of this, Yuan Chonghuan's tone also carried some regret.

Yang Yingqian nodded, and there seemed to be a trace of sadness in his eyes.

"After the death of my father, I was fortunate to be able to inherit my father's official position, and since that day, I have made a solemn oath in my heart that I will avenge the hatred of this country and my family in this life! For this reason, I raised my own military funds and trained a new army, hoping to return to Liaodong as soon as possible! ”

"I wonder what Lord Yang thinks about the current situation in Liaodong?" Yuan Chonghuan's eyes burned.

Yang Yingqian pondered for a long time, and gently tapped the table with his knuckles to make a rhythmic light sound.

"Lord Xiong Tingbi, who is currently guarding Liaodong, is known as a bear barbarian, although he is known for his strategy and bravery. Although the decline of the imperial court has not abated after Lord Xiong passed through Liaodong, the fall of Liaoyang and Shenyang may be unavoidable," Yang Yingqian said worriedly.

"Oh? Is Lord Yang's words a little unfounded, now there are hopes for Lord Xiong's recovery inside and outside the court! ”

Yang Yingqian shook his head slightly: "Although the current situation in Liaodong seems to be stable, in fact, there are undercurrents, and in my opinion, there are at least three hidden dangers."

"Oh? The lower officials are willing to hear the details! The look on Yuan Chonghuan's face couldn't help but become solemn.

"Although Lord Xiong has a strategy, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and most of the main forces of officers and soldiers stationed in Liaodong with Lord Xiong are guest soldiers from Zhejiang, Sichuan, Jizhen and other places, and they are far away from their hometowns to fight in other places, and the officers and soldiers will inevitably not go all out to resist the enemy, and they will retreat when they encounter a strong enemy, which is a disaster."

Yang Yingqian looked at Yuan Chonghuan and raised a finger.

"The Liaodong guest army comes from all over the country, the language and folklore of the officers and soldiers are different, it is inevitable that there will be friction and suspicion between each other, and the two arms fight between the reinforcements from all over the country has not happened before, and the two troops with mutual grudges will support each other on the battle array? In the end, it can only be broken one by one, this second trouble! ”

Speaking of this, Yang Yingqian paused, picked up the tea bowl in his hand and drank it all, and put the empty bowl on the table.

"This third problem is food, the guest army fights, the waste of food and salary in a day is not more than 10 million, the matter of Liaodong cannot be solved overnight. Once a quick victory is not possible, the imperial court will be dragged into the quagmire, and the food and salary will not be guaranteed for a long time, and once the food and salary are not good, the army's morale will be chaotic, and the situation in Liaodong will collapse! ”

Yuan Chonghuan pondered for a long time when he heard this, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, although he was only a county magistrate, but he was usually very concerned about the affairs of Liaodong, and whenever there was a Tang newspaper, he would study it all night.

Yang Yingqian was worried, he had also thought about it, but he didn't expect that the hereditary officer of the guard in front of him could also have such insight, and he couldn't help but re-examine the young man in front of him who was not good-looking, and his heart was already meaning to make friends.

"If one day, Lord Yang can go through Liaodong affairs, where will he start?" Yuan Chonghuan stroked the beard under his chin and asked with a little meaning.

"Defend the Liao land with the Liao people, and raise the Liao people with the Liao soil!" After pondering for a long time, Yang Yingqian said slowly.

Hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan chewed carefully in his heart, feeling that although this sentence was short, the meaning of the words was very profound.

looked at Yang Yingqian's eyes full of approval: "The future is terrifying!" Although Lord Yang is young, he has this insight, which is really my luck to be Ming, but Yuan is only a district and a county, although he has the ambition to serve the country, but there is no way to serve the country! After speaking, he shook his head lightly and sighed.

Yang Yingqian laughed: "With Lord Yuan's talent, this Jingcha will definitely be reused by the imperial court, and then Lord Yuan will be able to show his ambitions!" ”

Yuan Chonghuan raised his head and laughed: "With Lord Yang's auspicious words, I hope that you and I can meet in Liaodong one day to conspire with national affairs!" ”

After that, the two of them looked at each other and smiled........
