Jinzhou City Command Envoy, Main Hall.

During Yang Chengying's absence, on the surface, the power was in the hands of Fang Zhenru, but in fact, it was in the hands of Luo Sanjie.

It's not how good he is, it's that he and Yang Chengying are closely related, and all the generals believe in this and obey him.

Therefore, Luo Sanjie organized people to renovate the command department.

After Yang Chengying visited Fang Zhenru, who was staying at the Yamen, he came to the command and envoy and looked around, quite surprised.

"Lao Luo, I let you stay in Jinzhou City, so that you can lead the people to complete spring ploughing, not to let you repair the yamen."

Yang Chengying said reproachful words in his mouth, but his tone was very light.

Luo Sanjie said with a smile: "General, as the saying goes, 'people need clothes, Buddha wants gold', and the command envoy is the face of our Jinzhou Guard, and it can't be saved." ”

"Hahaha...... General Luo was right. ”

Others chimed in.

Yang Chengying shook his head with a wry smile, walked into the main hall, and sat down on the main seat.

After he sat down, the generals took their seats.

Luo Sanjie sat beside him and faced the generals of Jinzhou together.

As soon as he took his seat, Xu Shang, who has always been straightforward, shouted:

"General, I heard from my brothers that the general brought back several carts of silver, is it true?"

The others also looked at Yang Chengying, their eyes full of expectation.

"That's what happened."

Yang Chengying readily admitted, "Most of this money will be used for everyone in the future, and part of it will be used for Jishantang and kindergartens, as well as to improve the lives of the people." ”

Hearing this, all the generals were excited.

Many people have been big soldiers for half their lives, and they have never seen white silver.

Even the hereditary thousand-family Xu Shang, a person who supports his family by drinking the blood of soldiers, is rarely seen.

Not to mention others.

After a while, Yang Chengying coughed lightly, and the room instantly fell silent.

"According to the practice of the imperial court, it was supposed that the southern soldiers and the northern soldiers should have allocated military salaries separately."

Yang Chengying cleared his throat and said solemnly: "From today on, as long as the soldiers under my command are not divided into north and south, they will all be allocated military salaries according to the new standard. ”

At this point, almost everyone pricked up their ears and wondered what the new standard was.

"The monthly salary is one or two or four dollars, and the food salary is one hundred." Yang Chengying said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Due to the influence of many factors such as climate, war and man-made disasters, the price of rice remains high.

So many soldiers would rather ask for food than silver.

Yang Chengying's new standard actually gave both silver and rice.

How not exciting!

While the generals were overjoyed, Yang Chengying poured a basin of cold water: "However, it is not easy to get this military salary. ”

"It's nature." Xu Shang was the first to support, "Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, and only those who have the ability are worthy of this salary." ”

The other generals nodded.

Yang Chengying said: "Okay, tomorrow I will personally check the training of each soldier in the school field during the month I left." Those who do not qualify, leave! ”

"Yes."

The congregation will rise up in response.

This idea was rather out of me, on the one hand, to strengthen the soldiers' loyalty to Yang Chengying, and on the other hand, to further select the elite soldiers through the test.

However, Yang Chengying's calculations are much more than that.

He had other plans.

After the meeting ended, Yang Chengying left Zu Tianshou, Shang Xueli, Qi Dazhuang and Shen Degong and other cronies to discuss what happened to Jin Zhouwei during the period of his absence.

Zu Tianshou had already made up his mind to follow Yang Chengying.

Seeing that there were no outsiders, he took the lead in speaking: "Jinzhou is peaceful on the surface, but the dark tide is turbulent inside. ”

"Fang Xun came to me several times, ostensibly to discuss defense, but in fact to test whether I could serve as the commander of the Fuzhou Guard."

As soon as Zu Tianshou's words fell, Shen Degong also said: "My clan brother who was the chief soldier of Denglai also sent me a similar letter. ”

Shang Xueli said: "Although Fang Xunji didn't say anything about the general's tuntian system, his face seemed to have an opinion on the general's method of changing the Ming ancestors. ”

After they finished speaking, Luo Sanjie concluded: "They told me all these things, but I suppressed them, just waiting for you to come back." ”

Yang Chengying had expected these small actions.

But he believes that as long as he doesn't come back for a day to preside over the overall situation, the Ming officials headed by Fang Zhenru and the big gentry headed by Tian Rong will not dare to make too big a move.

These people can still take into account the overall situation, and they can't do things like "those who are close to each other are bitter and the enemy is happy" when the strong enemy in the north is pressing the border and the person in charge is not there.

"Jin Zhou Wei is the Jin Zhou Wei of the imperial court, and this will not change from beginning to end. As long as the imperial court does not recover Gaizhou one day, I will be as stable as Mount Tai. ”

Yang Chengying first set the tone, and then analyzed the specific problems in detail: "Denglai, Liaoxi, Jiliao Governors and Liaodong Jingluo seem to be a whole, but in fact they have their own abacus. ”

"Especially between the Liaodong Jingluo and the governor of Liaodong, although the relationship between the two has eased a lot because of the loss of Liaoyang, I think sooner or later there will be a quarrel."

After the battle of Liaoyang, Xiong Tingbi's idea of "defending first and then fighting" was strengthened; Wang Huazhen is the opposite, bent on revenge.

The imperial court is currently on Xiong Tingbi's side, and after years and months, the amount of money spent is huge, and sooner or later it will turn to Wang Huazhen because it can't stand it.

"We need to make good use of this to achieve our own goals."

Yang Chengying said.

"The general is trying to ...... Get close to the governor of the king and alienate Xiong Jingluo? ”

Zu Tianshou guessed.

This is the "either/or" habitual thinking of ordinary people.

Yang Chengying shook his head and said, "Of course not." Governor Wang did not understand military affairs at all, and if I had been close to him, perhaps he would have thought that the time was ripe to regain his homeland, and he would rashly send troops. ”

Many people thought so, and after listening to Yang Chengying's words, they all bowed their heads and thought hard.

Shang Kexi smiled and said, "Wonderful, wonderful, the general is really powerful!" ”

"Oh? Tell me about it. ”

Yang Chengying was very happy about Shang Kexi's growth, so he encouraged him to express his opinions.

Shang Kexi straightened his waist and said, "I thought the general meant that if anyone is unfavorable to us, we will turn to the other side, neither close nor close, neither far nor close." ”

Most people understand such a simple truth.

The hardest part, in fact, is not here.

Zu Tianshou looked worried: "Whether it is Xiong Jingliu or Governor Wang, they are both shorter than the military and longer than internal affairs. If you stand on both sides, you will offend both sides. ”

"So, I want to ask Lao Luo to cross the sea to go to the Yamen of Denglai Governor, in the name of discussing military aircraft with Governor Yuan, find You Shihun, and ask him to help set up a line, so that I can get to know one or two nobles in the court."

Yang Chengying looked at Luo Sanjie and said.

Luo Sanjie nodded in agreement.

These court nobles have been hiding behind the scenes from beginning to end, and Yang Chengying has been in contact with their agents before.

When it came time to bargain with these court nobles, they had to pay more tolls.

Feed yourself for the army.

As for why talk at this time.

For no other reason, the strength is enough!
