Chapter 118: Was it this in-law?

Views:

After the grand welcome ceremony was over, Yang Shanlu and his party entered the Yang Mansion.

After entering the Yang Mansion, the maid greeted him graciously, and said to the Sun family, "Madam, please come with me. Your accommodation has been arranged."

With Sun's current status, the arrangement must be the same room as Zhou's, but at this time, Yang Shanlu uttered a voice to stop him: "You come back! Your mother will go with us to discuss matters." !"

After all, Yang Shanlu is very clear. This time I'm here to talk about his lifelong events. If it were in the past, this kind of thing would have been made by his nominal mother, the Zhou family, and it would be impossible for the Sun family to participate. , But now...

"Yes -" How dare the maid defy her, she went down quickly.

And Zhou, who was on the side, saw his teeth clenched with anger. In fact, this maid was instigated by her, trying to continue to have the right to control in the mansion, but now...

She looked at Sun's luxurious Madam Hao Ming's outfit, and then at the maid Xiao Yu'er who followed Sun's behind, the Hao Ming Clerk in her hand, and finally she could only hold back her breath. .

Instead, he smiled and said: "That's right, my sister (Zhou's older than Sun), let's go to the lobby to discuss matters... This time I'm looking for a good house for Lu'er. We must discuss it carefully."

Of course, the Sun family has no opinion on this. This is a right that has been finally won. Can you not cherish it...

So next, a group of 4 people came to the lobby together.

Then there was a little turmoil when sitting down. Of course Yang Sichang was the main seat, but the position on his left was the most prominent of the remaining positions. After all, the folks respect the left.

At this time, Zhou was about to sit down according to the old rules, but Yang Sichang gave it a fierce look! Then Yang Sichang smiled and said to the Sun family: "Good wife, please sit here."

If Yang Sichang used to look down on the Sun family, after all, this was the norm of that era, but now, the so-called mother is expensive by the child, since she can give birth to such an excellent son, she has the right to be respected!

And when he saw Sun sitting down on the left of Yang Sichang, his expression was forbearing joy... After Yang Shanlu saw it, his heart was even more cheerful... Then he sat down next to his mother.

Then Yang Sichang saw that the important figures in the mansion were all there, and he smiled and said: "Lu'er, this time our family has a big happy event... There is a top dignitarian in the capital that has taken a fancy to you, and he wants to form a family with us. !"

"Oh, dare to ask my father, who is this top power?" Yang Shanlu's expression was calm.

"Hehe, you may not believe it, but it is the first assistant Wen Tiren of the dynasty, Elder Wen Ge!" Yang Sichang said with a smile, honestly Wen Tiren could throw an olive branch, even he hadn't thought of it.

After all, although Yang Shanlu has made great achievements, he is not the eldest son of Yang Mansion. This is very important in the age when the family is right, but now...

Not to mention that Yang Sichang was very happy about this. Originally, the relationship between the two in the court was to help each other and fight against the Donglin Party members together.

And if he can be married to his sons and daughters, his position in the court will be even stronger.

It's just that Yang Shanlu frowned when he heard it... Actually this one? That doesn't seem to work anymore...

Because his father didn't know, Yang Shanlu knew very well who this Wen Tiren was! That is the traitor in the records of Ming history! There will be a conclusion to the future generations!

Not to mention that he is very beautiful now, he is the first assistant of the dynasty, but in June next year, Wen Tiren has done too much for bad things and was forced to step down by some ministers.

Insert an app: Perfectly reproduce the old version of the book-chasing artifact, an interchangeable app-Mimi Reading.

But in October of the following year, he died of illness at home. How could such a character be married to him

It's just such a prophet, but he can't say it. Yang Shanlu just pondered for a while, and changed his euphemism: "Father, I think there is something wrong with this matter, so I should postpone the discussion."

"what!"

Yang Sichang was stunned when he heard it. Originally, he thought it was a good thing that had the best of both worlds. Yang Shanlu would certainly agree to it happily, but he didn't expect it to be the result... After all, postponing the discussion would be tantamount to rejection.

On the side, the Zhou family was overjoyed when they heard it. If Yang Shanlu agreed to marry the granddaughter of the head of the dynasty, wouldn't it be more powerful? But now? Is your mind flooded? That's great!

Even Zhou thought that this is the only good news today! In order to keep this matter from changing, the Zhou family quickly said to Yang Sichang: "Hehe, Master Lu'er has grown up now and has his own insights, so we still have to respect his opinions when we are parents..."

When Yang Shanlu heard this, of course he knew that Zhou had no good intentions, but... If you know the truth, I'm afraid you will vomit blood for three liters...

As for the Sun family, she didn’t understand this kind of literary statement very well. As for how old the head of the court was, she didn’t know anything, but out of trust in Yang Shanlu, she didn’t say a word. , All depends on Yang Shanlu.

But even so, Yang Sichang felt that he had to work hard, after all, it was a pity to give up such an opportunity.

So he looked at the Zhou family and the Sun family, and said gently: "The two ladies go down and rest first, and I will talk with Lu'er."

In this case, the two retired together.

After the two of them left, before Yang Sichang could speak, Yang Shanlu had already said, "My father, there is no need to discuss this matter anymore, I have decided."

"Really? But it's a shame!" Yang Sichang still didn't understand.

After thinking about it, Yang Shanlu decided to reveal a little bit of inside information: "My father, I actually know a little bit about this chief assistant of the current court. For example, the public's evaluation of him is the word traitor!

Not to mention that he usually offends a lot of people, so don’t look at his current beauty, but I guess he will be dismissed from office in one or two years, so you think it’s wise to marry such a person as a relative. What's the move? "

"Ah!" Hearing Yang Shanlu's words, Yang Sichang started to think.

If Yang Shanlu said so before, he would definitely dismiss it, but with the past few years, everything Yang Shanlu did has proved to be very correct afterwards, and he couldn't help not paying attention to it. stand up.

Then Yang Sichang thought about it again and thought it was really possible. If that is the case, it is really not suitable. After all, besides Wen Tiren, there are still many other wealthy aristocrats in the capital, and his own son is now breaking through. Are you afraid that you won’t find a good wife

"Okay, then listen to you!" Yang Sichang nodded heavily.

And Yang Shanlu laughed when he heard it, hehe, it's great, using the advantage of foresight, he successfully avoided a quagmire.

After the matter was settled, Yang Sichang had other concerns. After taking a sip of tea, Yang Sichang asked: "Luer, you have been training recruits for this period of time, so now you have How many soldiers and horses did you have?"

Yang Shanlu smiled when he heard it, "My father, now there are 3,000 soldiers and horses! And they are still recruiting."

"Three thousand people?" Yang Sichang heard a hint of joy on his face, then he thought about it and said, "Then how many soldiers and horses can be trained in May and June next year?"

"My father, I have at least 5,000 soldiers and horses. If it's better, there are seven or eight thousand."

"Oh? Can the new army trained in this way have the combat power of the previous Xuanjia army?" Yang Sichang asked eagerly.

"Hehe, it's almost the same, and after a few battles, it will get stronger and stronger." Yang Shanlu just smiled.

"Good! Great!"

Yang Sichang was immediately overjoyed when he heard it, and he didn't have to hide anything in front of his son anyway.

And Yang Shanlu saw him and knew the reason why he was so happy...

Because in April of next year, he will present the memorial-"Respect Chen Annei's First Important Task", which will put forward the famous strategy of the four positive six corners to suppress the invaders! At this moment, there should be a draft.

But because of this incident, Yang Shanlu wanted to have a good talk with him! Because Yang Shanlu knows very well that his cheap father is now in a high position, but he was forced to commit suicide in the future, which was caused by this incident!

To be more specific, this four-square-and-six-corner strategy for combating the invaders is successful tactically, but it is wrong in terms of overall strategy!

Therefore, after the actual implementation in the future, not only his father will kill himself, but even the national fortune of the entire Ming Dynasty will be affected!

If there is still a glimmer of hope for Daming in the 9th year of Chongzhen, after the implementation of this wrong strategy for suppressing the invaders, it has completely slipped into the endless abyss! I can't make it back anymore!

Therefore, we are now facing this historical turning point and must be corrected!

After having a plan like this, Yang Shanlu smiled slightly and said: "My father, since you care about the Xuanjia Army so much, are you going to make a big move?"

"That's right—"

Yang Sichang didn't conceal his son, so he eloquently took out the conceived strategy for suppressing the bandits.

And Yang Shanlu smiled when he heard it, and it was indeed this four-sided, six-sided, ten-faced strategy of suppressing the bandits, and looking at the old man's appearance, he was still full of confidence... It's just now...

Yang Shanlu just said: "My father, my child, after listening to your strategy, it's still very good overall, but I don't think the problem has been solved from the source!

The child is here to say something boldly. When the late grandfather was in Chongzhen for 4 years, he also presided over the bandits, and at the beginning he smoothly put down the bandits, but why did he fail again? "

"This..." Yang Sichang was originally complacent, ready to listen to his son's praise. After all, the strategy he envisioned took a lot of hard work to make, and he thought he was very complete, but now

Hearing Yang Shanlu mentioning this matter, his face instantly became serious.

What Yang Shanlu said is not unfamiliar to him, in fact it is his father Yang He.

In the fourth year of Chongzhen, Yang He served as the governor of Shaanxi's trilateral military affairs as the right servant of the Ministry of War. At that time, Shaanxi thieves had just risen, and Yang He presided over the recruitment of gangsters such as God Yikui.

How did Yang He do it? He first rescued the thieves with a large sum of money, and then left the leader to serve in the camp, and his tribes were sent home. It should be said that this hand is still very beautiful, but the result

These thieves were originally hungry people in Yan'an, Mizhi and other places. After they were deported and returned to their homes, due to the terrible local agriculture, there was still no harvest during the Little Ice Age! Therefore, after being deported and returning to the hometown, you have to continue to starve, and if you can't hold it, you have to continue to rebel!

So the thieves he surrendered later came back and rebelled, and Yang He was also arrested and sent to Beijing for the crime, and then exiled for the crime, and paid a heavy price.

So now, after Yang Sichang heard Yang Shanlu mention this incident, he faintly felt that his strategy seemed to be a bit wrong...

That is to say, the key problem is that if the problem of the hungry cannot be solved, then the gangsters will not be killed!

But Yang Sichang also had a fluke. He just thought about it and said, "Lu'er, what you said has some truth. Even if the hungry people are broken up, but they can’t eat enough, they can only continue to rebel. Of course, this is also the same as that. Age has something to do with age, but age has not been good in the past few years. It's impossible to be like this every year..."

And Yang Shanlu sighed when he heard it, how do you know it, it's true every year! Such a disaster year will last at least ten years! This is enough to rebel a few times!

So even though your four-square-and-six-corner strategy is indeed very subtle and successful in tactics, it failed in strategy because it did not solve the problem from the root!

This is to wait until the start of the Central Plains War next year (the specific implementation of the four-dimensional six-corner strategy), you have only 18 horses left to fight Li Zicheng, and fled into Shangluo Mountain in embarrassment.

But it won't take long. After another disaster year, the desperate people who are hungry can only gather again under Li Zicheng's command and rebel in groups!

Therefore, the root problem lies in how to effectively solve the problem of hungry people.

So Yang Shanlu told Yang Sichang his concerns.

"Ah!" Yang Sichang furrowed his brows deeply. Since natural and man-made disasters come together, the hungry people cannot be killed! So what should I do!

You must know that according to Yang Sichang's idea, in order to realize this strategy of suppressing the bandits, he planned to increase his troops by 100,000 and increase the salary by two million taels. In this way, he would also pay taxes to the common people, which is the famous extermination.

But now, the common people are almost unable to live any longer, and if they are to be sent for extermination, it would be tantamount to forcing them to rebel...

It's just that, what should we do? Can't kill all the hungry...

But when he saw Yang Sichang looking helpless, Yang Shanlu smiled, and then he took out something from his body... which was what he had already prepared for this.
