664th Meeting
When Eluchen got the benefit, the whole person was excited.
There was no need for Yang Cheng to be urged, and the next day he took a few companions to chase the remnants of Lin Dan Khan.
Yang Chengying left Guluge and Hanggao behind, and stationed 300 cavalry at the same time.
He took seven hundred cavalry to the south and went to Yulinwei.
For Hong Chengchou, Yang Chengying is very curious.
The butcher, the second minister, the commander is first-class.
As the top civil servant of the Ming Dynasty, Hong Chengchou left an impression on Yang Chengying in the history books.
However, through the words of the history books, Yang Chengying also felt Hong Chengchou's ambition and ambition as an individual.
Hong Chengchou is a very ambitious person.
Whether it was in the Ming Dynasty or in the Qing Dynasty, he was a top worker.
Being able to meet such a person, Yang Chengying is looking forward to it.
The three heroes of Liaodong, Xiong Tingbi worked hard, Yuan Chonghuan was neat and neat, and Sun Chengzong was elegant and solemn.
Yang Sichang handled things smoothly.
Yang Chengying has seen all these people.
When he saw Hong Chengchou, only Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting remained, and the two top ministers had never seen it.
Thinking about it, Yang Chengying was still a little excited.
On February 22 of the fifth year of Chongzhen, this year is the year of Xinwei in the lunar calendar.
In the first month of that year, Chongzhen used the imperial history Wu Fu to give 100,000 taels of silver to Shaanxi for disaster relief.
Wu Fu replaced Li Yingqi and served as the governor of Shaanxi.
The disaster relief matter was handed over by Wu Fu to Shi Kefa, who was the governor of Shaanxi at the time.
Hong Chengchou, who served as the governor of the three sides, also went to Yulinwei.
Fate is so wonderful.
Outside the border wall of Yulin Wei, Hong Chengchou met with Yang Chengying under the escort of He Renlong and other border soldiers.
Yang Chengying arrived with his army.
He saw a middle-aged man in an official robe from a distance and guessed that he was Hong Chengchou.
So, Yang Chengying only took Cao Bianjiao and rode forward.
Seeing this, Hong Chengchou only brought He Renlong with him.
The two sides were ten paces away and stopped in unison.
Yang Chengying said: "I have heard the name of Governor Hong for a long time, and I am fortunate to see it today, and I am very relieved to live." ”
"General Huwei, I've heard about it for a long time."
Hong Chengchou was also polite: "I feel very honored to see the deity today. ”
"A few days ago, I sent someone to deliver Lord Xinhong. Lord Hong gave me food, and asked my subordinates to tell me that the other half wanted me to come and get it myself. ”
Yang Chengying said: "Now that I'm here, where is the food?" ”
"It's all there."
Hong Chengchou waved his hand, and a cart of grain was pulled out of the city gate by the border army.
"Thank you."
Yang Chengying waved his hand, and the herdsmen stepped forward and took over the carriage carrying grain from the border army.
The two sides maintained a semblance of friendship.
After the grain was taken over by Yang Chengying's people, Hong Chengchou said: "General, can I say a few words from the bottom of my heart?" ”
"Lord Hong, please speak, Yang is listening."
Yang Chengying immediately clenched his fists.
Hong Chengchou said: "The general is not only a minister of the Ming Dynasty, but also a concubine of the court, why does he act so contrary to the king's orders."
I heard that the general set up his own official position in Liaodong and appointed officials, so that the imperial court would not release the will.
Cao Wenheng, who is also a Jiliao Jingluo, actually stayed in Shanhaiguan. ”
"Lord Hong, this is caused by listening to slander, everything is a misunderstanding."
Yang Chengying opened his eyes and said nonsense: "I have a division of labor with Lord Cao, he is in charge of Jizhen, and I am in charge of Liaodong." ”
"As for Liaodong's own official position, it is even more wronged to me. Liaodong is under the jurisdiction of the Shandong Political Envoy, but there are no prefectures and counties in the territory, and it is still dominated by health centers. ”
Yang Chengying continued to defend: "The chief of the Wei department is in charge of the army and the people, and the officials under his name only have a palm print and a grain book.
In such a situation, how to manage millions of people in Liaodong. ”
The corners of Hong Chengchou's mouth twitched, and it was the first time he had seen such a thick skin.
The words of explanation are also evasive.
If you don't think about it, you really think that he is a loyal minister of the imperial court.
As long as the officials who have managed the finances, they all know that Liaodong Town occupies the most fertile southern Liaoning in the northeast, and controls the maritime trade between the Ming Dynasty and the Li Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom.
Rich!
The imperial court was stunned that it couldn't get a tael of silver from Liaodong Town.
In contrast, in order to win over the Guan Ning army, Yang Chengying shot 1.5 million taels of silver.
Therefore, Hong Chengchou said: "The words of the strategy are a bit far-fetched, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public." ”
"If you can solve the matter by spitting Xingzi, the princes of the court and Lord Hong will drown the Tartar long ago and clean me up by the way."
Yang Chengying didn't care about this: "Lord Hong, if you want to see me, won't you just tell me a big truth that you don't believe." ”
Hong Chengchou's face changed slightly, and after a while, he had to say stupidly: "Shaanxi, Shaanxi, and Henan are all making trouble with thieves." I don't know if the general intends to let the Liaodong Army enter the customs to help suppress the thieves and calm the people. ”
This is the purpose of Hong Chengchou's meeting.
He doesn't want to achieve his goal, he just wants to try.
The situation in the three provinces is getting more and more intense, like a pot of boiling water.
If you want to raise the soup to stop boiling, you have to draw from the bottom of the kettle.
On the one hand, the thieves were suppressed, and on the other hand, the troublemakers were moved out of Shaanxi, which played a stabilizing role.
"I'm sorry, I won't let the Liaodong Army come here."
Yang Chengying clearly refused: "Our army and the Tartars have reached a critical moment, and they can't pull out a single soldier to do what you said." ”
"Then why are you out of the jam?" Hong Chengchou asked dissatisfiedly.
"I went out of the fortress by the emperor's order, and I only brought 3,000 cavalry this time, and the rest are Mongolian cavalry." Yang Chengying said.
These words shocked Hong Chengchou.
Three thousand cavalry defeated Lin Dan Khan, who was on the wrong side, and his whereabouts are unknown.
It's incredible.
"You're wondering if I'm lying, how can three thousand cavalry do this?"
Yang Chengying guessed Hong Chengchou's thoughts: "To tell you the truth, it's very simple to do it.
Select soldiers, practice solidly, and have enough food and pay, you can do it. ”
Easier said than done.
Hong Chengchou still didn't believe it: "There are only 3,000 soldiers, and Lin Dan Khan has 50,000 cavalry infantry, how can he not beat you!" ”
Yang Chengying smiled: "You think Lin Dan Khan is difficult to beat, because you set limits for yourself, and constantly hypnotize how weak you are, so naturally you can't beat it." ”
This is a true statement.
Historically, it was not Houjin who broke Lin Dan Khan's defense.
It's Ma Shilong.
Lin Dan Khan plundered Xuanda, Ningxia and other places, and won a complete victory.
After killing He Huchen, Ma Shilong, who took over his position as commander-in-chief.
Ma Shilong trained for half a year.
Lin Dan Khan re-invaded Ningxia and other places, and was defeated by Ma Shilong and beheaded more than 3,000.
Lin Dan Khan was so scared that he didn't dare to stay in Ordos and ran to Qinghai.
Finally, he died there.
The Ordos ministries were unwilling to fail and re-attacked Ningxia.
was beheaded by the veteran Ma Shilong, more than 1,300 levels in one go, and he never dared to offend again.
Today, history has changed.
Lin Dan Khan is still the same Lin Dan Khan, and Ma Shilong has been replaced by the more powerful Yang Chengying.
Being captured, it makes sense.
"In the future, the various ministries of Ordos will live a stable life and will not come to the border to harass them, so Lord Hong can just concentrate on the interior."
Yang Chengying said.
"Well, hopefully we'll see each other next time, it won't be enemies."
Hong Chengchou was a little deflated.
He finally understood the true intention of the Liaodong Army to come to Yulin thousands of miles to "borrow" grain.
"I hope so."
Yang Chengying smiled slightly.
