Fang Yizao has been in the officialdom for many years. He knew that officialdom is like a battlefield and more like a shopping mall. If you want to get what you want, you have to learn to ask for high prices and pay back the money on the spot.

He did not directly follow Yang Zhen's suggestion, but followed his own heart. Yang Zhen, the deputy general of Ningyuan, was promoted to the commander-in-chief of Ningyuan, and Jin Guofeng, the deputy commander-in-chief of Songshan, was promoted to the commander-in-chief of Songshan.

Add the words "group training".

This was the condition he offered.

So who is this condition granted to?

Although Fang Yizao, the governor of Liaodong, was already considered a feudal official, he did not have the courage to make conditions for Emperor Chongzhen, nor was he bold enough to make conditions for the imperial court and the cabinet.

In fact, he offered this condition to Zu Dashou in Ningyuan City and Gao Qiqian in Shanhaiguan.

He wanted to win over Zu Dashou and make Zu Dashou his own, but he soon discovered that Zu Dashou was unwilling to get closer to him because Zu Dashou had already had a bigger backer.

That backer was the commander-in-chief of Ji Liao who was far away in Shanhaiguan, that is, Gao Qiqian, the eunuch favored by Emperor Chongzhen.

After understanding this, Fang Yizao originally thought that his career as governor of Liaodong was over, but he never thought that Yang Zhen, the deputy general of Ningyuan who brought Liaodong by himself, actually survived and managed to create a justifiable "

"Songjin Great Victory" came out.

Thinking about Zu Dashou's attitude towards him, and then thinking about Yang Zhen's situation in Liaodong, Fang Yizao quickly made a choice and decided to take advantage of the opportunity created by Yang Zhen to give him another try.

The situation that Fang Guangchen brought back to him was exactly what he wanted.

But as a wily and calculating man, he knew very well that the success or failure of this matter did not solely depend on his own attitude, nor did it solely depend on the attitude of the court or the cabinet.

Because to a large extent, the success or failure of this matter depends on the attitude of Gao Qiqian, the commander-in-chief of Jiliao who is currently stationed in Shanhaiguan.

If Gao Qiqian interfered and put forward different opinions to the emperor, then relying on the emperor's trust in Gao Qiqian, this matter would probably not be accomplished.

But will Gaoqiqian hinder it?

Fang Yizao never considered this issue at all, because he knew very well that high diving would definitely hinder it.

Last year, Yang Zhen and his old subordinates offended Gao Qiqian, and under Gao Qiqian's pressure, he brought Yang Zhen and his former subordinates to Liaodong to serve. Based on this, Gao Qiqian would definitely interfere with them.

But Fang Yizao also thought about it and took this point into consideration.

The reason why he knew that to make Yang Zhen the commander-in-chief of Ningyuan, 80% or even 90% of his calculations would not succeed, yet he insisted on co-signing to guarantee Yang Zhen to be the commander-in-chief of Ningyuan, was because Gao Qiqian would never let it happen.

Get your own wish.

But Fang Yizao also knew that Yang Zhen's record of rescuing Songshan was genuine and guaranteed to be fake. The Tatar army that besieged Songjin Zhucheng withdrew under Yang Zhen's harassment. This was also genuine and guaranteed to be fake.

Replaced.

Based on this alone, no matter how displeased or dissatisfied Gao Qiqian was with Yang Zhen and his old subordinates, he did not dare to go too far.

Because the war to rescue Songshan and Jinzhou is a major event that Emperor Chongzhen and everyone in the court are paying close attention to!

When the generals in the pass face the local bandits, if they win a battle casually and make some gains, they can be named the commander-in-chief. Why did Yang Zhen lead an advance battalion of hundreds of reinforcements in Liaodong to repel the invasion of Songjin Land?

With an army of 10,000 Tatars, why can’t they be promoted to the rank of commander-in-chief?!

Besides, Liaodong has a "very glorious" history of mutiny!

Could it be that he was afraid of bullying others too much and accidentally forced Yang Zhen and his old soldiers to rebel?!

Therefore, Fang Yizao relied on his many years of experience in officialdom and firmly believed that Zu Dashou, Gao Qiqian and others would definitely hinder him and would not let him get what he wanted, and he would definitely not let Yang Zhen get what he wanted. But he also believed that

, they never dare to go too far.

After all, as the imperially appointed governor of Liaodong, and as the current head of civil servants outside Shanhaiguan, he still has a certain weight in front of His Majesty the Emperor, who he protects and who he impeaches.

This was Fang Yizao's psychology when he made his decision.

Of course, Yang Zhen didn't know Fang Yizao's psychology.

Therefore, when Zhang Chen opened the east gate of Songshan City late that night, returned excitedly to the Town God's Temple in Songshan City, and brought Fang Guangchen's message to Yang Zhen, Yang Zhen almost blurted out "Mother Xipi"

"Come.

Zhang Chen led the left wing of his musketeers and galloped along the way, almost exhausted, with the purpose of bringing the "good news" he got from Fang Guangchen in Ningyuan City to Yang Zhen as soon as possible.

You know, they escorted Fang Guangchen out at dawn this morning, and arrived at Ningyuan City around noon. Just after noon, they hurried back with Fang Guangchen's message.

In one day, they set off from early in the morning and galloped to Ningyuan, and then returned to Songshan in the middle of the night. Back and forth, they galloped a total of more than 200 miles, and during this period, they only rested for about an hour in the Liaodong Governor's Office.

.

Not everyone can bear this hardship.

The reason why Zhang Chen and his party traveled so painstakingly back was to immediately convince the governor of Liaodong, Ningqian Bingbeidao and the imperial court governor Yang Zhen to be the commander-in-chief of Ningyuan.

Bring back the news.

However, when he finally brought the news to Yang Zhen after hurriedly and exhaustedly, Yang Zhen's face became very ugly, and he didn't even look happy at all.

This unexpected situation made Zhang Chen feel very baffled and full of doubts.

"Sir! Mr. Fang said that Governor Fang, Qiu Bingbei, and Yuan Langzhong all signed the memorial for Mr. Bao Zuo to be appointed as the commander-in-chief of Ningyuan. They jointly signed Mr. Bao Zuo to be the commander-in-chief!

"For our advance battalion, this is a great good thing and great news! Sir, why don't you look happy at all?!"

After seeing Yang Zhen pacing back and forth in the small room where he lived after listening to the message he brought back, not only was there no joy at all, but instead he looked unhappy, Zhang Chen still couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart after all.

So he asked Yang Zhen why.

"How can I be happy?! I have made up my mind to fight in Songshan City and prepare for the second Songjin War in the future. Now, Fang Guangchen doesn't mean what he says.

, he actually failed to persuade his biological father to act according to his own statement!"

After hearing Zhang Chen's question, Yang Zhen did not answer immediately. He just complained bitterly in his heart that Fang Yizao and Fang Guangchen were too selfish and only considered their own interests in Liaodong instead of taking into account the complexity of Liaodong.

situation.

After a while, Yang Zhen saw Zhang Chen still looking at him with confusion, and he finally remembered his night conversation with Fang Guangchen. No one else in the advance camp knew about it, so he said to Zhang Chen:

"The situation in Liaodong is complicated, and people's hearts are even more complicated! It's not that I don't want to be the commander-in-chief in Ningyuan, but I'm worried that doing so will only be counterproductive! Based on your understanding of the current generals in Liaodong, they will let me, Yang Zhenli, become the commander-in-chief of Ningyuan.

Soldiers?!"

"This - I didn't have time to think about it seriously! Could it be that Marshal Zu would disagree? I heard that before your Excellency left Ningyuan with the men of our advance battalion, Marshal Zu also promised in public that he would keep the peace after everything was accomplished.

Lord Zhao is appointed as the commander-in-chief of one side! How dare someone like Marshal Zu break his promise to enrich himself?!"

Yang Zhen's answer made Zhang Chen feel a little uneasy for a moment.

In the original land of Liaodong, there were many general families, but after many years of war, there are not many general families left in Liaodong now, and almost all of them are concentrated under the command of Zu Dashou.

There is indeed a big question mark as to whether a former Liaodong general like Yang Zhen, a descendant of a family, can be accepted by the ancestral army headed by Zu Dashou.

However, when he thought about this, Zhang Chen suddenly remembered what Guang Chen said to him before leaving, so he immediately said to Yang Zhen:

"By the way! Sir! Before I returned from Ningyuan City this afternoon, Young Master Fang said something about Governor Fang and the others jointly signing the appointment of Lord Ningyuan as the Commander-in-Chief of Ningyuan. I was only happy at that time and didn't remember too much.

clear.

"Master Fang seems to have said something, probably it means - take the top, get the middle, take the middle, get the bottom, take the bottom, get nothing! It's probably such a sentence, I can't remember it all!

I just don’t know if these words are useful to adults?”

Zhang Chen was originally a warrior, and there was a barrier between him and things like Confucius' poems and clouds. Moreover, he was in a state of high spirits at the time and did not listen carefully to what Fang Guangchen said to him later. Now that he is racking his brains, he can only remember it.

These are just a few sentences, and they are only a rough outline.
