Chapter 381: Restructuring of Liaodong
Liaodong in March is still in a state of depression. The ground is covered with white snow, which shows no sign of melting at all. The trees on the streets are also bare, with the cold wind constantly swaying, and occasionally a dead branch will hang off.
As the political and cultural center of Liaodong, Liaoyang City seemed very prosperous. As soon as the city gate opened, many people came in and out. The hunters brought their prey, hoping to sell it at a good price and buy some food when they went back. If
They still have plenty of money and can pull a piece of cloth for their mother-in-law and children. This is the biggest wish in their hearts.
There are many residents in Liaoyang City, and the most common people on the streets are not the common people entering the city, but the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. The most important town in Liaodong, Liaoyang City is stationed with 70,000 Ming troops. The Liaodong Governor's Yamen is located in Liaoyang City
, is a government office in the east of the city.
In the second hall of the governor's office, Yang Lian, the governor of Liaodong, was sitting on a chair drinking tea. He had been working in Liaodong for more than half a year. Although the time was not short, Yang Lian still didn't like the climate of Liaodong very much. In such a cold winter, Yang Lian
Lian always kept the tea cup in his hand, firstly it could keep him warmer, and secondly Yang Lian didn't drink.
"You adults are so arrogant, how long do you want me to wait? It's not a good idea to hide your head and tail like this!" Yang Lian frowned as he put the tea cup in his hand on the table and glanced at the person sitting next to him.
, said with a rather dissatisfied tone.
The man didn't care and didn't look at Yang Lian. He took a sip from the tea bowl on the table and said with a smile: "Master Yang, your tea is not very good. There is no good Longjing here in Liaodong. I don't know what you can do."
Don’t get used to drinking!”
He frowned slightly, not many people knew about his love for Longjing, but this person seemed to know it very clearly. I recalled this person's appearance in my mind, and although it seemed familiar, I couldn't remember it.
"Sir, you don't have to think about it. I am a small person in a humble position. It's not surprising if you don't recognize me. If I come to you in a humble position, don't tell me to let you wait. I should wait in a humble position. But my family is different. I still deserve it, Master Yang."
Waiting for it!" The man spoke tepidly. He always had a calm smile on his face, looking confident.
"Mr. Yang has a very good temper. It's really rude for you to talk to Mr. Yang like this!" Suddenly a man's voice sounded outside, he smiled heartily, opened the door and walked in.
It seemed that he had known that someone would come in. Yang Lian did not raise his head and said with a smile: "I have been waiting for you for a long time. Lord Luo is very impressive. Although they are all soldiers of the emperor, the person you sent is not enough to deal with me."
official!"
The person who came in was slightly stunned. He smiled loudly, took the coat on his body, and said: "Mr. Yang is indeed Mr. Yang, you all should get out!" He waved to the people in the room with a casual tone.
commanded.
"Come here, serve tea!" Yang Lian ordered the servant beside him without answering the man's words.
When the tea was served, Yang Lian waved his hand and said with a serious face: "You all go down! Please go down and don't disturb me if you have nothing to do!"
"Yes, sir!" the servant replied respectfully, bowed and left.
There were only two people left in the room, but no one spoke. The man had sat opposite Yang Lian and looked at Yang Lian with a smile.
"I have been thinking that for such a big thing as the restructuring of Liaodong, the emperor will definitely send someone to assist Mr. Sun. I have thought about it for a long time. I have thought about all the people in the capital, but I can't find anything suitable. But I just met
"Your Excellency, I finally realized that the emperor is full of wisdom and tricks, which are beyond the reach of our ministers!" Yang Lian smiled bitterly and shook his head. He said with helplessness in his tone.
The man picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, then his face became a little weird, and he said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Yang likes to drink Longjing before, but today I saw that the rumor was wrong!"
"Although Yang likes He Longjing, it's okay not to have it. After all, state affairs are the most important thing. As soon as the red concubine laughs, no one knows it's lychee. The emperor should take this as a warning, and we and other ministers will naturally take this as a warning."
Looking at the man seriously, Yang Lian said with a serious face.
"Your Excellency, you are truly righteous and worthy of being a trusted minister of the Emperor! You are indeed worthy of your reputation!" The man cupped his hands towards Yang Lian and said with a smile on his face.
He nodded uncertainly, Yang Lian straightened his expression, and said in a serious tone: "Master Luo, as a dignified commander of the Jinyi Guards, wouldn't you come here to accompany Yang to say this? The Emperor didn't ask you to
Are you coming to Liaodong for fun?"
Nodding quite seriously, Luo Sigong's expression became serious, and he said in a low tone: "Master Yang, and Mr. Yang and Mr. Luo will not hide anything. The emperor is indeed worried about things in Liaodong. Although Mr. Sun is capable
Outstanding, and has a high prestige in the Liaodong Army, but there are some things that no one can say for sure. Regarding the restructuring of Liaodong, the emperor has issued a strict decree. Luo will not interfere at all, and Master Sun will arrange everything. Luo
I came to Liaodong just in case, so that if anything happens, I can solve it in time."
Yang Lian nodded slowly, with a serious look on his face, and said to Luo Sigong on the side: "There will be no problem with the restructuring of Shenyang City. After all, there are Liaodong Governor Xiong Tingbi and Shenyang Commander He Shixian. There are two people there.
Are you here? No one dares to do anything, and no one can do anything. Everyone knows that if the restructuring is really carried out, it will definitely be good news for the soldiers at the lowest level of the guard station. There are people above to suppress it, and the soldiers below will not follow suit and make trouble.
Of course it will be much easier to handle." After saying this, Yang Lian sighed, with a trace of helplessness flashing across his face.
Glancing at Yang Lian, Luo Sigong smiled and nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Master Yang, there is bound to be trouble. Otherwise, why did the emperor send Master Sun and Master Yang to Liaodong? Why did he also send Mr. Luo to Liaodong?
Come? With us here, no matter how big the trouble is, it’s not a trouble!”
"Lord Luo is really so heroic!" Yang Lian laughed loudly and continued: "In the final analysis, the restructuring of Liaodong is divided into two places, one is Shenyang City and the other is Liaoyang City. As for the other places, they are just walls.
Damn it, once things are really done and taken away, they can only accept their fate. Shenyang City’s problems are not big now, but Liaoyang City is in some trouble!”
"Master Yang, please speak, Luo is all ears!" Luo Sigong nodded cautiously and said in a low tone.
Yang Lian nodded vigorously and said in a deep voice: "Since the Battle of Shenyang City, the situation in Liaodong has been good. Marshal Sun has made great progress in rectifying the military in Liaodong. Now there are seven generals in Liaoyang City, and no one is in charge of the soldiers.
Ten thousand, these seven people are the focus of this restructuring. As long as they don't object and don't make any trouble, the restructuring will be a sure thing."
Nodding in agreement, Luo Sigong looked at Yang Lian with bright eyes, without any expression on his face. He also knew these things, after all, Jin Yiwei was not a vegetarian here.
"Among the seven generals, five were here before I took office, and the remaining two were promoted during the Battle of Shenyang. Although they were promoted after the war, they were all staff generals. I think It's not easy to do anything with them. However, among the seven general soldiers, three are hereditary officers, and the remaining four are not. However, the embezzlement of military pay by these people may not be that serious, but the exploitation of the guardsmen There are quite a lot of things." Yang Lian told all the news he had learned, with a touch of sadness on his face. He had been thinking about this issue since he got the restructuring.
After listening to Yang Lian's words, Luo Sigong on the side laughed and said: "Master Yang, you are so smart and confused for a moment! Liaodong faces Jiannu, which is the gateway to the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty. The military restructuring is another step. The most important thing is, why did the emperor want to try it out in Liaodong? Wouldn't it be better to put it in other places where there is no danger? Mr. Yang always thinks about the troublesome side, doesn't he think of the beneficial side? "
Yang Lian was stunned immediately, his mind was spinning, he patted his forehead lightly and said: "Since Sarhu, the guard system in Liaodong has almost existed in name only. Now the soldiers in Liaoyang and Shenyang basically receive military pay. .Although the fields have been divided among them and the system is almost the same as before, these soldiers do not have military status!"
Looking at Yang Lian with a smile, Luo Sigong had a proud look on his face. It was obvious that he could remind Yang Lian, which made him feel very proud.
"As long as the generals are under control and they don't cause trouble, the restructuring will be fine. As long as the soldiers know what the court wants and don't let them incite military morale, then great things will happen!" Luo Sigong smiled and then became serious again, With a bit of caution on his face, he lowered his voice and said.
"Is there going to be any action in Shenyang?" Seeing what Luo Sigong said, Yang Lian immediately understood and said with some surprise.
Not everyone knows about the restructuring in Liaodong. News may have been transmitted from the capital, but not many people know about it. This layer of window paper has not been pierced, and everyone pretends to be nonchalant.
If Shenyang takes action, it will be the last moment, and success or failure will depend on this!
"Well, Mr. Sun has decided to start releasing news in Shenyang tomorrow to carry out restructuring. Liaoyang does not need to be touched, but Liaoyang must be stabilized and no mistakes can be made. This matter belongs to Mr. Yang and Luo, and we must take care of it. Study it!" A hint of excitement flashed across Luo Sigong's face, and he said seriously.
