About half a year has passed since Yuan Chonghuan left office and went to office again.

The situation has changed dramatically.

He took 270,000 taels of internal money allocated by Chongzhen, plus 30,000 taels from the household department, a total of 300,000 taels of silver, and went to Shanhaiguan to take up his post.

The Ming officers and soldiers of Ningyuan, because of the problem of accumulating 529,000 taels of silver in arrears, have turned from a salary to a mutiny.

Governor Bi Zisu, general soldier Zhu Mei and a large number of soldiers in Ningyuan City were besieged and seriously injured.

Bi self-sued and hanged himself.

Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly stepped up and rushed to Ningyuan.

As soon as the troublesome soldiers saw Inspector Yuan coming, they dispersed in a hurry.

After Yuan Chonghuan arrived, he sent people to thoroughly investigate the facts of the mutiny, and arrested Yang Zhengchao and Zhang Sishun, soldiers who had come to Liaochuanhu for trouble.

After arresting the two, Yuan Chonghuan personally interrogated them, hoping to catch the organizers and planners of the mutiny.

I don't know if I don't check the results, and I'm shocked when I check it.

A large number of Guanning military generals, such as Luo Li, who has been promoted to the rank of chief of firearms, and Zuo Liangyu, who has been promoted to the rank of commander of the Che Right Battalion, are all aware of this matter and are suspected of conniving.

"Others are okay, you are my hand, why do you do this."

Yuan Chonghuan patted the table and questioned Raleigh.

"My lord, if we don't want to do this, we really have to report the truth."

Raleigh lowered his head and said, "Since the adult left office, he has cut off his salary. The Liao people can reclaim land in the surrounding area and barely subsidize their families. And the other soldiers, especially the Chuanhu guest soldiers who stayed in Ningyuan, did not even have a meager monthly salary. ”

Yuan Chonghuan gasped, this is the front line, and the entire Liaoxi soldiers have been in arrears for several months.

If all the 300,000 taels of silver were given to the soldiers, what would happen to the horses and equipment?

In desperation, Yuan Chonghuan had no choice but to play to the court and beg the court to allocate money.

However, how can Chongzhen have money.

He had to allocate 100,000 taels from the poor bar's internal funds, take out 100,000 taels of silver from the imperial front worship, and collect 52,800 taels of stolen money from the criminal department that had not yet had time to dispose of them, as well as 100,000 taels from the household department, and send them to the front line in Jinzhou.

Only then did the Ning Yuan mutiny be temporarily eliminated.

But in this way, Yuan Chonghuan doesn't have much money in his hands.

Chongzhen's ministers had no choice but to send the 50,000 taels of silver originally planned to Jinzhou Town and 250,000 taels of Shandong Jiapai Island, a total of 300,000 taels, to the Ningjin front.

Yuan Chonghuan finally realized a real problem, the court had no money.

This is just a problem within Ning Jin!

The external problems are even greater, and the Mongolian Ao Han Department, which was quite obedient before, has been annexed to Houjin at this time, and the Liaoxi Corridor has been exposed to danger.

Lin Dan Khan, who was rewarded by the imperial court, continued to bully other Mongolian tribes, causing the Mongolian tribes to defect to Houjin.

Yuan Chonghuan's arrival also frightened Yang Chengying.

"Lord Yan, what kind of person is Inspector Yuan?"

Although he was familiar with this history, which was recorded by later generations, Yang Chengying wanted to know what some people at that time said about Yuan Chonghuan.

Yan Mingtai and Yuan Chonghuan have been colleagues, and they should know each other very well.

"Inspector Yuan never gives up halfway, and lacks bureaucratic tact, but this is very valuable."

No matter when, Yan Mingtai praised Yuan Chonghuan.

"You say, I took the initiative to go to Ningyuan to meet Inspector Yuan, is it okay?"

Yang Chengying suddenly asked.

He was not a whim, but the result of careful consideration.

However, I still want to hear Yan Mingtai's opinion.

"Many ministers in the imperial court have very opinions about Yang Shuai's acceptance of eunuchs."

Yan Mingtai said: "Even though Inspector Yuan doesn't have the intention of harming you, many ministers are eyeing you. ”

"You mean, I shouldn't have go?" Yang Chengying asked.

"No, actually, I think you should meet."

"What do you mean by that?"

"From a personal point of view, it's not a good idea. But for the sake of the country, Yang Shuai should take the initiative to go. ”

"Well, that's what a national soldier can say."

Yang Chengying nodded with a smile.

Since Yuan Keli stepped down, Wu Zhiwang and Li Song successively served as governors of Denglai.

But Denglai Governor Yamen has never really managed Jinzhou Town, Yuan Keli has been to Jinzhou Town a few times, Wu Zhiwang and Li Song have not been to once.

The contact between the two sides is becoming less and less, and public opinion is not favorable to Jinzhou Town.

Second, western Liaoning and southern Liaoning are already bordering, and the two sides will have more contacts in the future, so they must communicate well in advance to avoid unnecessary friction.

In the end, Yang Chengying himself still wants to see the Optimus Pillar of Liaodong with his own eyes.

Since Yan Mingtai agreed, Yang Chengying said, "If Lord Yan is fine, can you go with me to Liaoxi." ”

Yan Mingtai was stunned and said happily: "Yang Shuai really wants to go, I should accompany you." ”

"Alright, we'll be on our way in three days."

Taking advantage of the current peace, Yang Chengying decided to set off quickly.

Hearing that the marshal was going to Liaoxi to meet Inspector Yuan, many generals fiercely opposed.

This includes Zu Dashou.

"Dashuai, Inspector Yuan has the Shang Fang Sword in his hand, and he has the right to act cheaply. The Ming Dynasty used literature to control the military, and even if the commander was the chief military officer of the Eastern Expedition, he should also be careful. ”

Zu Dashou persuaded: "If something happens, I can't regret it." ”

"Inspector Yuan is a new official, and I have to go and see him in person."

Yang Chengying said: "Besides, I treat each other with courtesy, and I think that Inspector Yuan is not an unreasonable person, and he will not embarrass me." ”

"What the commander has done has long gone beyond the scope of what a general soldier should have. I'm afraid that Inspector Yuan won't be able to withstand the pressure of everyone and will kill the handsome. ”

"I know. You have to take the initiative in everything, otherwise when Inspector Yuan takes the initiative to see me, I will be disadvantaged. ”

Seeing that Dashuai had made up his mind, Zu Dashou had to keep his mouth shut.

Ning Wan I strongly agreed, and he even said that it is necessary to show respect for the original degree, which is conducive to future development.

As for what kind of development, I didn't say it clearly, and it is not easy for others to guess.

Yang Chengying knew a little bit based on history, but felt that Houjin was unable to send troops now, and he would talk about it in detail after meeting with Yuan Chonghuan.

First sent Zu Zerun, who had a little relationship with the Ming army in Liaoxi, as an envoy to Liaoxi to inform him of this matter.

Three days later, Yang Chengying took Yan Mingtai and 300 personal guards to Liaoxi by boat.

Geng Zhongming and Mo Mazi personally led the Thunderbolt Camp warships and carefully guarded them.

The fleet walked close to the shoreline.

After walking for a few days, I finally arrived at Jinzhou Port.

When he arrived, it was afternoon, and Yuan Chonghuan set up a guard of honor to welcome Yang Chengying's arrival.

This is the first time the two have met.

In order to reassure Yang Chengying, Yuan Chonghuan only brought generals and a small number of personal soldiers, and did not bring an additional soldier.

Yang Chengying also gave Yuan Chonghuan enough face, knelt on one knee in front of everyone, and solemnly hugged his fist.

"Yang Juma is serious, please get up quickly."

Yuan Chonghuan personally held Yang Chengying's arm and asked him to stand up.

"Inspector Yuan is a messenger, and the last general should do this."

Yang Chengying said politely.

"Don't dare to be. The whole emperor trusted him to occupy this position. ”

Yuan Chonghuan arched his hand towards the sky, "Yang Yuma is a famous general in Liaodong, who has repeatedly setback Jianyu, and he will give more advice in the future." ”

"Where, where ......"

The two of them were polite as they walked towards the barracks.

Arriving at the gate of the camp, Yuan Chonghuan introduced Yang Chengying to the generals he had brought from Ningyuan.

He Kegang, You Shiwei, You Shilu, Zhu Mei, Zuo Fu, Zuo Liangyu, Cao Wenzhao, Huang Degong, Zhang Tao......

These people are all people who have written a strong and colorful character in history.
