"What does Mr. Fan mean?"

Yang Chengying was stunned for a moment, and quickly came back to his senses.

"Kaifu!"

Fan Wencheng hugged his fists and said: "The marshal should ask the imperial court to open the mansion and determine the relationship between superiors and subordinates openly." ”

"Is that okay? The opening of the government is only allowed by the governors. ”

Yang Chengying was a little worried: "I'm afraid that the court won't allow it, but it will cause trouble for myself." ”

"At this time and that time, the marshal couldn't open the mansion before, because the strength was not enough."

Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "Now that the strength of the handsome, Yang Sichang will definitely report it to the emperor." The marshal, please open the mansion, the emperor will not allow it. ”

"If that's the case, it saves me a lot of trouble."

Yang Chengying let out a long breath.

The opening of the Ming Dynasty is fundamentally different from the opening of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

During the Han and Tang dynasties, the shogunate was approved by the imperial court and the generals who had the power to open the government recruited officials on their own and granted official positions and powers, commonly known as "shoguns." ”

The Ming Dynasty was different, and due to the high concentration of monarchical power, the traditional shogunate could no longer exist. The staff system evolved into a self-recruited sword and pen officer, commonly known as "curtain friends".

The relationship between the staff and the chief is that of superiors and subordinates, and the relationship between the staff and the chief is that of the host and the guest.

Yang Cheng should want the "opening of the mansion", of course, it is the former.

Fan Wencheng drafted a note on behalf of Yang Chengying and wrote to the imperial court, requesting permission for Yang Chengying to open the mansion.

Before this recital arrived, the envoy of the imperial court arrived first.

Chongzhen crowned Yang Chengying as the Duke of Yan Guo.

Yang Cheng thanked the messenger for his kindness, gave the messenger some silver, and sent him away.

It's boring to be named a "duke", what he wants is to "open the mansion".

Yang Chengying pretended to make an offering to the holy decree, and then went to accompany his second son.

Yes, Yingniang gave birth to a big fat boy to Yang Chengying in the first month, named Yang Zongjin, nicknamed Yuanyuan.

Yang Zonghei, who had learned to walk, also walked over tremblingly, riding on his father's lap and playing as a seesaw.

Yang Chengying hugged one and teased one, which was very happy.

The people nearby laughed out loud when they saw it.

It's so prosaic but short-lived.

I'm back.

"Dashuai, I've finally finished my mission and come back."

At the first glance of Yang Chengying, I reported the results of the trip after Ning.

"Oh, you met the Spanish mission?"

Yang Chengying said with a smile.

"See. I also told the other party everything you said, and they expressed their consideration. ”

Ning finished sitting on the chair with his butt and crossed Erlang's legs.

Look at his cow.

While Yang Chengying was attacking Anshan City, a Spanish delegation departed from Luzon and arrived at Port Arthur.

Yang Chengying was not available, so he asked Ning Wan, who was stranded in Port Arthur, to receive them.

As for the results of the reception, I will talk about it when I come back from the Wa Kingdom.

"Dashuai, you are also really interesting, you actually said that you would help Spain deal with Portugal."

Ning Wan said with a smile: "But you obviously told Portugal's Kunsha that you are helping Portugal fight Spain, and you can play better than me." ”

"Hahaha...... Portugal and Spain, or England, and Holland are not good birds, and they will all be expelled by me in the future. ”

Yang Chengying smiled: "But I don't have the energy now, and I don't have a big ship or a huge cannon, so I play with them." ”

"Hey...... Diplomacy is really cool, and I'll do it in the future. ”

"Don't be beautiful, tell me what is the shogunate's attitude towards my visit?"

"What other attitude, protest. But the shogunate seems to be in some trouble, and it is very the lips, but in fact it has made concessions. ”

"That's the secret. In a few years, the shogunate would not have agreed. ”

"Why?"

"Although the shogunate was opened by force, it was still based on the system of monarchy and vassals. The relationship between the shogunate and Kyoto was very stiff, and it did not completely control Kyoto. ”

"Oh, I see. It's not good for them to provoke a war, and if they lose, they will be in trouble. ”

"That's right. This is all thanks to the blessing of the year. ”

Yang Chengying was referring to a war during the Wanli period in which the Ming army successfully drove the Japanese army out of the peninsula and saved the lost Li Dynasty.

This battle made the Wa Kingdom quiet for a while.

Yang Chengying continued: "According to the season, the wind direction is about to change. I should also prepare and set off early to go to the Wa country. ”

According to the time calculation, the time of arrival in the Wakoku Kingdom was the time when the shogunate and Kyoto had the most violent quarrel.

"I heard that Dashuai is further reforming, how do you plan to change it?"

Ning Wan asked curiously.

"How else can I change it. To be honest, I know that if I continue to change it, it will definitely go against the imperial court system. ”

Yang Chengying sighed and said: "But I have come to this point, how many people are counting on me, I can no longer be as low-key as before." ”

"You can't keep a low profile for a long time, but you've been hiding your ears and stealing the bell."

Ning Wan said bluntly: "I want the 'right to open the government' from the imperial court and build a large place, so that we can survive between the Ming court and the Tartars." ”

"Yes, hey! That's all there is to it. Yang Chengying sighed.

While chatting, Fan Wencheng walked in quickly.

"Handsome, a great event."

Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "After receiving the official document from the imperial court, the queen gave birth to a dragon heir, and His Majesty issued an edict to amnesty the world. ”

As he spoke, he took out the official document and placed it on the table for viewing.

The edict reads: I am the emperor and the emperor should be honored by the celestial calendar, the first prince of the Yuan, and the heir of Youlong......

After reading the edict, the three of them understood in their hearts that the emperor intended to make the emperor's eldest son Zhu Cihong the crown prince.

"It's a great joy indeed." Ning Wan quickly grasped the main point, "The marshal can make another table, and don't mention the right to open the mansion, just congratulate Your Majesty." ”

"Okay, I'll write it myself."

Yang Chengying said, returned to the table, sat down, dipped the pen in ink, and waved a large pen.

At this time, Ning Wan turned his head and asked Fan Wencheng: "I heard that the Tartars defeated Inspector Sun in the battle of Baimiaozi, but because Abatai surrendered to the marshal, he had to withdraw his troops.

They didn't look for our bad luck again? It's also too abnormal. ”

"Looking for our bad luck? Huang Taiji is now full of bags is real. ”

Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "You don't know, because Anshan is very close to Liaoyang and other places, many Han people have fled from Anshan to our territory. ”

"And that's not all." Fan Wencheng continued, "The surrender of the Eight Banners Bannermen, the death and wounding, forced Huang Taiji to recuperate for a period of time, otherwise the marshal would not have thought about going to the Wa Kingdom. ”

"Oh!" Ning Wan frowned and said, "Hearing what Mr. said, how do I think Tartar is not very powerful." ”

"The Tartar elite soldiers have been trained for several years, and who is the opponent in the Ming court except for the big marshal."

Fan Wencheng explained: "Especially after the death of Nurhachi, the marshal took advantage of the new Khan's succession to the throne and his foundation was unstable, and he did several major things in a row to completely reverse the situation. ”

"It seems that the so-called 'Eight Banners are invincible in the world' is the result of the literati's self-speculation."

"Of course. As long as there is organization and training, sufficient food and salary, and long-term work, you can train a strong team. This is true of the Jurchen Eight Banners, the same is true of Qi Shaobao's Qi Family Army, and the same is true of the Liaodong Army. ”

When the two were chatting, Yang Chengying wrote a note and stamped it with his own seal.

handed it over to Fan Wencheng.
