Zhou Wenyu should have been promoted a long time ago.

Especially when Yang Chengying took over Ning Jin and lacked manpower.

The reason why he didn't do that was because of Zhou Wenyu's embarrassing identity.

Zhou Wenyu and Zhou Yanru had a close relationship, and Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren collaborated to kill Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao.

Yang Chengying sent him again, it would be inappropriate.

I didn't think of Zhou Wenyu for a while, but it was also because Zhou Wenyu's Fuzhou Wei had been in the rear for a long time, and his sense of presence was weak.

After being reminded by Zu Dashou, Yang Chengying transferred Zhou Wenyu from Fuzhou.

As for who assisted Jiang Chaodong in continuing to manage Fuzhou?

This has to be mentioned, the banner of the imperial court is easy to use.

Many scholars and doctors were disappointed in the imperial examination, or their families came to Liaodong to make a living, which greatly expanded the foundation of governance.

Among them, there are many people of insight.

For example, Zhou Lianggong, he is a native of Jinling, and his character is Liang. His father, Zhou Wenwei, wandered around because of his family's middle fall, and traveled to many places.

Later, Zhou Wenwei came to Liaodong under the introduction of his fellow villagers and engaged in cultural and educational work under Sun Degong.

Zhou Wenwei brought his son Zhou Lianggong and studied in the Knowledge Academy for a period of time, but was discovered by Fan Wencheng and promoted.

After Zhou Wenyu left, Zhou Lianggong assisted Jiang Chaodong in handling the daily affairs of Fuzhou.

Zhou Lianggong in history was a good official in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and Yang Chengying planned to let him spend a period of time to familiarize himself with local government affairs before being promoted to the Wenguan.

came to Guangning with Zhou Wenyu, as well as Zhang Cunren, who had just stepped down as the commander of Gaizhou.

"Dashuai, my subordinates have something I want to say to Dashuai."

Zhang Cunren hesitated, but still opened his mouth.

Yang Chengying smiled: "But it doesn't hurt to talk about it." There are no outsiders here, you name it, and we will know if it is right. ”

Zhou Wenyu nodded.

Zhang Cunren mustered up the courage to say: "Although our overall strength cannot be compared with Tartar now, we already have a relatively low capital. ”

"If we continue to rely on Gaizhou and Haizhou for defense, there is a big problem, that is, a large amount of materials are piled up and dare not be transported away."

"Therefore, our army should take the initiative after the autumn harvest! Attack the city that the enemy is building in Anshan and force the enemy to come to the rescue. ”

"Our army can not engage it, the purpose is to make the enemy have no time to attack from Jizhen, and cause our army to be exhausted."

"In addition, it is possible to actively look for fighters and prompt the enemy to conduct a decisive battle in the scenario envisaged by our army."

After he finished speaking, Yang Chengying couldn't help laughing.

"Dashuai, is there something wrong with what I said?" Zhang Cunren was stunned.

"No, you're right." Yang Chengying said with a smile, "I asked you to govern the new first division, the purpose is to make efforts for the follow-up operations." ”

"Oh, the marshal also intends to take the initiative?"

"That's right! The operation of the army requires a large amount of food, and the transportation distance should not be too long to cause unnecessary losses.

Our army should take the initiative to seek an offensive to further pressure the Tartars to retreat northward and reduce the offensive pressure on Gaizhou and Haizhou. ”

Yang Chengying said: "In this way, the farmland in Gaizhou and Haizhou can be restored to production and the logistics problem will be solved. ”

didn't expect his idea to coincide with Yang Shuai, which made Zhang Cunren overjoyed.

"Rest assured, I will definitely train you a strong new army, and I will not let you down."

Zhang Cunren immediately understood the true intention of the coach to let him train the new division.

The outcome of the war is unpredictable, and we must do a good job in advance, and we can't let ourselves lose a battle.

He also discussed with them for an hour on the issue of the reorganization of the new First Division.

After they left, Yang Chengying changed his clothes and rushed to the inner courtyard.

The princess sent Wang Yong to invite a troupe from Jingshi, which was originally intended to be used on the day her son turned one year old.

Since Yang Chengying had her own arrangements, she didn't arrange them again.

However, the troupe came, so they let them perform a few pieces. also asked Wang Yong to invite Yang Chengying to go and enjoy it together.

Yang Cheng should be very interested in the antique opera, and after listening to a paragraph, he couldn't help but applaud softly.

"Horses, we think it's good when we listen to the play, and we never clap our hands, it's very noisy."

The princess turned her head to look at Yang Chengying: "We all nodded slightly, and we will give them a little reward afterwards." ”

Yang Chengying was embarrassed for a while.

He smiled: "This play is so good, I forgot about it for a while." ”

When he said this, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is this troupe going back to Beijing or staying here?" ”

"What kind of sports meet you are doing, they naturally want to go back."

The princess smiled and said, "What? You want to keep them all. ”

"It's not. I think it's such a good play, just a few people watch it, it's too boring. ”

Yang Chengying said: "If spending money can solve the problem, I plan to spend some money to let them go to the army, go to the local area to sing, and sing for free to the people." ”

The princess's face was slightly gloomy: "Can the common people understand?!" ”

"Your Highness, don't underestimate anyone's creativity."

Hearing him say this, the princess was a little upset.

The singing on stage is a "famous role", and even in Beijing, the price is very high.

Just to let the people listen to a few tunes, it's not worth spending so much money.

"The price of these people is too high, and I persuaded the horse to break my mind."

The princess said with a calm face.

When Yang Chengying heard this, he waved his hand indifferently and said, "It doesn't matter. I can ask for a cheaper one, as long as I can sing well. ”

"Then let it go." The princess said lazily.

Yang Chengying turned his head to Wang Yong and said, "You heard what we said just now!" ”

"Yes." Wang Yong nodded.

"Know how?" Yang Chengying said again.

Wang Yong glanced at the princess, and seeing that she did not object, he replied respectfully: "I know, please rest assured." ”

Yang Chengying nodded with satisfaction.

The princess stared at Yang Chengying thoughtfully.

She was a little confused about the horse, and said that the horse had the ambition to replace the Ming Dynasty, which was pure nonsense. To say that the colt is dedicated to the Ming Dynasty, it doesn't seem to count.

Learn to make a feudal town similar to the Tang Dynasty, and the horses don't seem to be interested.

She was a little lost.

Actually, what she thinks, Yang Chengying really can't look down on it.

The world is in the midst of a revolution, and in the near future, unprecedented changes will erupt.

What he has to do is to find as much of a suitable position as possible for this ancient Orient in the midst of this change.

Then there are some thoughts that should be abandoned, such as looking at the world with your eyes closed.

For example, the Central Plains Dynasty of all dynasties, except for a very few, despised diplomacy.

Yang Cheng asked Ning Wan to take charge of diplomatic work, and asked him to go to Port Arthur to meet the envoys of the Wa Kingdom and the Li Dynasty.

After Ning, I took these envoys from Port Arthur to observe the new achievements in the construction of Liaodong Town, and finally arrived in Guangning.

The time is the first day of July in the second year of Chongzhen.

Just a few days ago, Meng Qiaofang led the 1st Division and the people, prisoners and recruits of the Dengzhou Rebellion to the territory of Liaodong Town, and was marching towards Guangning.
