After Yang Sichang officially came on the court, he was still a little proud. It was like this announcement, his father and son took the head and the tail separately. This kind of glory is also rare since the kingdom? Of course, when he comes this time, he has to earn more glory!
Moreover, as a powerful figure in the DPRK, Yang Sichang brought a lot of benefits when he came this time... For example, he brought rations of 10,000 shi... completely solved the army's food problem.
Therefore, after Yang Sichang and the generals met and told the news, the three generals were all happy... You know that the marching war is not afraid of the others, just because they are scarce of food! But now, with so many grains and rice, plus the grains from the governor of Shandong that were seized before, they can be eaten for two to three months, so it is completely worry-free!
Even among these, when the quartermaster inspected the grains and rice and prepared to enter the account, he was surprised to find that these grains and rice were not the same as the common grains and rice... They were obviously longer than the grains and rice grains of the Central Plains. Be thinner.
Regarding this situation, Yang Sichang smiled reservedly: "Hehe, you don’t know yet, these grains are actually shipped from Qiongzhou Island. Speaking of which, Daming has also suffered a lot. This time I have suffered a hundred years of hardship. During the severe drought, the gratifying thing is that Qiongzhou Island is really a treasure land. After this autumn grain harvest, 1 million shi has been handed over to the capital! It has greatly alleviated the grain shortage!"
"Including the provision of military rations to you, you are also relying on this. Otherwise, the old gentlemen in the management of the household department will really have white hair!"
"Really?" Some generals with stupid minds, like Tiger Dawei or something, didn't think much, but some were more like a businessman at first, just like Datong General Soldier Wang Pu, but couldn't help it. I looked at Yang Shanlu... This is really a big deal. Someone’s previous arrangements have now played a role...
And Yang Sichang saw this scene in his eyes, and he was even more happy... He was even more happy than when he was a cabinet fellow... After all, which father doesn't want his son to be successful? Hope your son will become a dragon! And now, his son did it! This is the Qianliju that God gave to his Yang family!
After a happy opening, Yang Sichang went to meet Lu Xiangsheng again. Actually, Yang Sichang's position in the court is higher than that of Lu Xiangsheng. However, today Yang Sichang is very enthusiastic, not only taking the initiative to break the festival. I handed in, met with a gift in the past, and talked with Lu Xiangsheng enthusiastically, as if he had been an old friend with Lu Xiangsheng for many years.
Of course, there is a factor of Lu Xiangsheng's physical inconvenience, but more of it is that there is no more political disagreement between the two, and when Lu Xiangsheng was the governor of Xuanda, he also had many factors related to Yang Shanlu.
Not only that, but Yang Sichang seems to have worked hard on how to make Lu Xiangsheng good, so at this time, he was talking about the premise again, talking about the reason why Qiongzhou Island is so good, among which is Chang. The history of Huazhizhou, and the Zodiac Zhou, who served as a supervisory official and a cultivator, have done a great job.
And when he heard Yang Sichang mentioned this topic, Lu Xiangsheng was all smiles. Although Lu Xiangsheng is not a member of the Donglin Party, his political ideas are closer to those of the Donglin Party. Now I heard that Yang Sichang admires these two people so much. happy
In addition, Yang Sichang is no longer a traitorous official. Since he and the leader of the Donglin Party, Liu Zongzhou became relatives (Yang Shanlu married Liu Zongzhou’s granddaughter Liu Hongli), the relationship between the two parties has eased a lot. After seeing Yang Shanlu's unique vision of developing Qiongzhou Island, including the Zodiac Zhou who had been targeting him before, he admired him and loved Wu and Wu, at least not calling him a "dog man owl" anymore.
So in this way, there is no barrier between the two sides, and it is natural to have a very happy conversation.
And seeing this scene, those vulgar military generals didn't feel anything... After all, in their opinion, these two are all civil servants who are good at dancing, writing and making ink. It is normal to be able to talk about one...
But Yang Shanlu knew what was going on. Looking at the smiling faces of the two of them, Yang Shanlu was even very emotional... You must know that in the original history, these two were incompatible with each other! The reason is that in the eleventh year of Chongzhen's eleventh year of invaders, the two had different ideas!
Yang Sichang’s point of view was to first settle inside and then fight against the outside world (at the time the Central Plains gangsters, Zhang Xianzhong, and Luo Rucai’s generation were still very active), so he wanted to seek peace with the Qing army, while Lu Xiangsheng’s point of view was to fight at the same time The bandits fought against the Qing army, fighting on both sides.
So although these two are both outstanding people in the world, but because of their different ideas, they finally became intolerable, and finally Lu Xiangsheng died sadly. It was all related to this difference, but now
Yang Shanlu recalled what he did the year before, and he was not only very pleased... It was precisely because of the perfect battle in the Central Plains that Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai’s generation had been wiped out, even the remaining Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and others were also Sent to Manchuria to harm Tanzi, (including after repeated battles with the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou, only King Li Chuang, who was eighteen horses, was still hiding in Shangluo Mountain at the moment to lick his wounds)
Therefore, in this time when the Tartars entered the bandit, there was no longer any debate about whether to confide in the first place or the outside world. There were no fundamental political differences, plus oneself as a lubricant from it, really let these two people The great talents of Daming joined hands and worked side by side for the country!
After the final greeting was over, everyone walked towards the yard together. Then, according to the usual practice, the generals had prepared a table for Yang Sichang’s arrival and prepared a table of wine. In addition, the imperial court was very hand-picked and rewarded a lot of wine and meat. So this time, all soldiers and soldiers are allowed to drink alcohol (the number is limited) and party together.
Of course, when drinking, the generals in the camp were still somewhat restrained. No one dared to persuade Yang Sichang’s drink. After all, they all knew that even if a martial artist like them achieved the position of the general soldier, he had seen senior civil servants like Yang Sichang before. , They all have to kneel and kowtow, so now I have the opportunity to sit and drink together, but I don’t dare to be presumptuous...
(I would like to say one more thing here. The status of military commanders in the Ming Dynasty is very low. The most obvious example is Qi Jiguang, a generation of military gods, from officers to commanders, right governors, and finally he was named the prince Taibao. He is unparalleled in glory. Is the military commander the ultimate, right
But because of his position, he had to take refuge in Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant of the dynasty. Even in the correspondence, he claimed to be a running dog, so humble. Of course, after Zhang Juzheng was liquidated in the end, Qi Jiguang was implicated because of this, and he was put into hiding in his later years. related.
It is a sigh that a generation of military gods once wrote an autobiography, saying that there are more than a hundred battles between the north and the south, and they have not suffered a disaster! The translation means that he has fought more than one hundred battles in his entire life, and has never been defeated! ! !
However, such a generation of military gods, because of political factors, was hid in the snow in his later years, and finally died in depression. He was only sixty years old. If he can live for another twenty years, what is there to be Nurhachi? Thirteen armors rise up? Go dreaming! (The old slave was twenty-eight years old when Qi Jiguang died) But the real history is because of the internal friction of the Chinese people, and he passed away early, which is really very sad...)
So at this time, Yang Shanlu was really pleased to see Yang Sichang sitting drinking with the generals, and not paying attention to the style of using literary and martial arts.
As for Yang Sichang, he is also very enthusiastic about these martial arts. After all, one of his sons has become a martial artist, and he is also a leader in martial arts, so even his attitude towards these vulgar martial arts is much better. After such a meal of wine and wine, everyone will know that Yang Sichang and his son must have something to say during this reunion, so they will leave one after another.
Yang Sichang is a supervising army, and now Lu Xiangsheng can’t take care of things, so he is already the owner of the line, so when the wine is over, only Yang Sichang and his son are left in the line, Yang Sichang’s expression really relaxes. , No longer wearing a mask, and at this time, Yang Shanlu also solemnly saluted again: "Unfilial child Yang Shanlu, I have seen my father."
"Get up—" Yang Sichang nodded in satisfaction. Now he is extremely satisfied with Yang Shanlu... The bastard who was not valued by him in the past has become the Yang family's Qianliju, Qilinzi. ... and even the prosperity of the Yang family in the future will depend on him. How can this not make him happy
"Father, do you want to ask the second brother to come with you?" The second brother Yang Shanlu said was the second of Yang Sichang's four sons, Yang Shanzi. At this time, he was taken care of by Yang Shanlu and was in the Xuanjia army. Yang Shanzi is a clerical clerk, but Yang Shanzi is afraid that others will say that he is involved in nepotism, so no one in the military knows that he and Yang Shanlu are brothers, but now, since the old man is here, he can be called to meet.
But Yang Sichang waved his hand and said, "It's not anxious, let's say a few words about yourself." After all, Yang Sichang became the supervising army this time. It can be said that he has been subjected to Yang Shanlu's'**'. They are here, and although they are fathers and sons, they both hold important positions and live in a separate place, so the two have not seen each other for several months, so this time, Yang Sichang is ready to discuss with Yang Shanlu.
So Yang Sichang first asked carefully, what happened during the battle in Sanduiji this time, including the details of the later assassination of Lu Xiangsheng.
As for Yang Shanlu, he also answered very carefully. After all, he knows that his old man is very capable. The four-square-six-corner and ten-faced strategy of spreading the net in history has also proved to be really effective. , Is by no means the kind of general and empty talk of civilian officials, so now, the same is to answer very carefully.
After completing such a question and answering, Yang Sichang closed his eyes for a moment and nodded in relief: "Lu'er, you did a good job this time."
"Thank you father for the compliment, but the child consciously has some omissions. If the usual work is done more meticulously, maybe Governor Lu will not be assassinated." Yang Shanlu felt a little guilty when he said this, after all. He was in the most advanced special battalion of this era, but he couldn't detect the clues of the rebel general and the Qing army, and he felt a little negligent.
"It's fine if you know it!" Unexpectedly, Yang Sichang's face suddenly turned stern, and he said very solemnly: "Lu'er, do you know that after this incident, for the father, he personally preached to the sage and asked him Are you guilty?"
"Ah!" Yang Shanlu was slightly taken aback... Xindao, is this my father? There is still such a thing? However, he knew that with Yang Sichang's ingenuity, he certainly made sense to do so.
Sure enough, Yang Sichang saw that Yang Shanlu was a little surprised, but he was not in a hurry to explain, he just nodded in satisfaction... At least the cultivation of qigong is very good, and then Yang Sichang patiently analyzed it to him.
"Lu'er, now you and me, father and son, can be said to be infinitely beautiful, even to say that being a father is already among the top three Chinese officials, and you are also the first person in the Ming army! But if there is a word It is called, the wood show and the forest wind will destroy it, so the more we get to this point, the more we must be careful to prevent the high power from shaking the master!
Therefore, the assassination of Lu Jiandou this time is both a bad thing and a good thing. For the father, there is a reason to play you in the court, saying that you have not fulfilled the responsibility of the First Army in the world. Please convict! "
"And in this way, you are so beautiful now, and the court is almost at the point where you are not rewarded. This just gives the court a reason to punish you, so that when your merits and demerits are offset, your merits will not appear too excessive. It is prominent, and the court will not have too much headache because of how to reward you, so that the monarch and his ministers can be in peace."
"That's it, thank you father for teaching—" Yang Shanlu nodded again and again after hearing this. After saying that, he fully understood his father's good intentions. After all, in this era of the supremacy of the monarchy, it is very dangerous to have high merits. !
For example, the most obvious example is that the former Grand Marshal Yue Feiyue waited until he made an unworldly meritorious service, but he was jealous of the emperor, and then after being slightly provoked by the villain, he issued twelve gold medals in a row. He goes back! Even unable to catch his handle in the end, he simply beheaded for an unreasonable charge! (The unwarranted meaning is that you don’t need to be guilty, you should kill if you have done too much!)
And this is the fate of Gong Gao Zhenzhu! Of course, when Yang Shanlu is fully fighting against Dongnu, it is difficult to grasp this measure, but now, this is great. With an old man who is strong in the DPRK, he can play a role from time to time. The role of the regulator, the ruler and the minister are both right.
"Baby understands, thank you for your teachings." Yang Shanlu said sincerely again. This is the dearest of the flesh and blood, so he can say it with heart and soul, and another talent would not say it at all.
"Very good!" Yang Sichang was also very satisfied when he saw that Yang Shanlu could immediately understand what he meant. This is what ruins can teach... Yang Sichang's biggest worry is that Yang Shanlu stayed in the army for too long and became That kind of take-off man with only muscles in his head, but now, it seems that he hasn't been affected by the slightest...
The father and son had a conversation about the most important thing, and then Yang Sichang began to ask about this great opportunity... After all, he was here for this time!
As for Yang Shanlu, he also introduced them one by one, including how to discover this great opportunity, and the plan unfolded therefrom, what is it like to confuse Dorgon, let Li Dingguo’s armed forces behind enemy lines, and the maritime assault team. Step up trouble and so on...
After Yang Sichang heard this, he was very satisfied, feeling that Yang Shanlu had completely inherited his ingenuity, and even tended to be better than blue! Of course, with Yang Sichang's talents, he also made some supplements to Yang Shanlu's combat plan.
For example, he made a suggestion that when taking advantage of this great opportunity to start a decisive battle with the Qing army on the North Road of Tarzi (Yuetuo Department), he could shoot arrows in his barracks first, and then tie some letters on the arrows. , It says in detail the situation of the looting of Tarzi’s hometown, that is, how the armed forces behind enemy lines ransacked their hometown and turned their tribe into a piece of white ground! So as to better shake their military spirit!
Yang Shanlu felt very good when he heard it, and he readily adopted it. Even after the father and son had a close conversation, they all looked at each other and smiled, feeling more confident about the next big battle...
After all, by the time Sun’s old Guan Ning army joins forces, the entire Ming army will have 30,000 elites. Coupled with this huge opportunity, if it works well, the entry will be ended in one fell swoop. The battle of Guan is very possible...
In this way, after the father and son had talked closely for half an hour, the military matters were about to be discussed. At this time, Yang Shanlu took out a seized secret letter from his body and handed it to Yang Sichang.
This secret letter was originally written by Xue Guoguan, the chief assistant of the dynasty, to Yan Jizu, governor of Shandong, in order to ask him, an old friend, to get stuck in the army's rations and suppress the Xuanjia army! And now, when Yan Jizu was arrested, this secret letter fell into Yang Shanlu's hands.
And this involves the struggle in the court.
ps is extremely grateful to two old friends, the German flag captain and Qiao Yang 123 for their generous rewards! With such encouragement, White Horse will strive to write a better plot in return for your love! (End of this chapter)
