Ming said, "Our Youzhou General Administration Mansion occupies an area of about fifty acres. In addition to the Yamen, there is also a large military camp in the back with a garrison of 2,000 troops. This is the direct-controlled army of the General Administration Mansion."
Zhao Yuan accompanied Yang Yuanqing and others to visit the General Manager's Mansion. They walked out of the back door of the government office. There was a small river separating the government office and the military camp. The military camp was surrounded by huge wooden fences and filled with neat tents. There was a small building next to the gate.
A tall sentry tower, with soldiers looking back and forth from the sentry tower.
Zhao Yuan walked to the front of the military camp and ordered to the soldiers standing guard: "Go and inform you, General Han, that the new general manager has arrived. Ask him to come and greet you as soon as possible."
The soldiers rushed away. After a moment, General Ying Yang and two lieutenants hurried to the camp gate. Zhao Yuan gave him a wink. General Ying Yang immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted Yang Yuanqing, "Ying Yang"
Yang Lang will send Han Chi to see the general in charge!"
The two generals from behind also knelt down and saluted. Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly and said: "Three generals, please rise!"
Han Chi stood up and said, "In my humble position, I will accompany General Manager Yang to visit the camp."
Yang Yuanqing nodded and followed him into the military camp. On the military camp grounds, groups of soldiers were lining up for training in neat military appearance. Yang Yuanqing pointed to hundreds of tents and asked: "Why use tents instead of building brick and wooden houses as barracks?
"
Han Chi said quickly: "In the past, General Manager Yuan liked to go around for inspections. We followed him all the way and lived in tents, so we didn't build barracks."
Yang Yuanqing's face sank, "These are two different things. You can use tents when you go out on patrol, but you should live in brick and wood military camps when you come back. In such a cold weather, the soldiers' endurance should be taken into consideration. There is no need to deliberately make it difficult."
He turned back to Chief Shi Zhao Yuando: "I'll find someone to build the barracks tomorrow. I don't want to see so many tents during the New Year!"
Zhao Yuan could only nod, "I understand."
Yang Yuanqing glanced at the sentry tower again and said coldly: "There can't be only one sentry tower. There should be two in front of the camp gate and one in each corner, for a total of six sentry towers."
"Reporting to Manager Yang, this is in Youzhou City. Manager Yuan once ordered that there is no need to build such a sentry tower."
"The past was the past, and the present is now. I don't care what General Manager Yuan said in the past. Now I, Yang Yuanqing, have ordered that six guard towers must be built in the military camps. All military camps must implement them. If you dare not implement them, you will be charged with disobeying the order and will be dealt with according to military law!"
Yang Yuanqing looked at Zhao Yuan sternly. Generally, after the general manager gave an order, the chief official would make a written document, stamp it with a seal, and send it to each military camp for execution, including the deployment of troops. Therefore, the chief official had great power, in a certain way.
The degree of long history is a constraint on the general manager.
Yang Yuanqing's order was obviously aimed at Zhao Yuan. Zhao Yuan was secretly annoyed but did not dare to refuse on the surface, so he had to agree with great reluctance.
Everyone present was silent. Almost everyone was thinking about the same question. Could this be Yang Yuanqing's first three fires when he took office? If so, this first fire burned too quickly.
The official residence where Yang Yuanqing lives is located on the west side of the Governor's Mansion. It is a duli house, covering an area of about seven or eight acres. It has always been the official residence of the Governor of Youzhou. It has been the residence of three governors, including Yan Rong, Dou Kang and Yuan Hongsi.
When living here, except for changing some personal furniture such as servants and beds, everything else remains unchanged.
The official residence was under the management of the Zhuojun County Government. Long before Yang Yuanqing arrived, the prefect Cui Hongsheng had arranged for more than a dozen new servants, two of whom were dedicated to serving Yang Yuanqing.
After meeting with the officials of the General Administration and visiting the Yamen, Yang Yuanqing came to the official residence where he lived. As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Sheng, the leader of the personal soldiers, stepped forward and reported: "General, the accommodation of the brothers has been arranged."
Yang Yuanqing nodded and asked with a smile: "How are the conditions?"
"It's not bad. Two people live in one room. The room is very spacious. The bedding and blankets are all new. All supplies are available."
Yang Yuanqing knew that this was Cui Hongsheng's arrangement. From these small details, it could be seen that Cui Hongsheng was very attentive and would visit him at night if possible.
At this time, Asido ran out. She had changed back into women's clothes, her face was full of excitement, and her smile was like a flower blooming. She took Yuan Qing's arm and walked to the back room, "Brother Yang, come and see
Look at the yard where I live."
It was Pei Minqiu's intention to arrange for Asido to come to Youzhou with him. He said that Asido would take care of his daily life, but all the way north, he couldn't see that Asido had the slightest ability to take care of him. This man grew up on the grassland and was carefree.
The Turkic princess couldn't even take care of herself.
Yang Yuanqing had no choice but to be dragged to the back house by her, and when he walked into a courtyard, he was stunned. There was actually a snow-white Turkic dome in the courtyard.
"This is" Yang Yuanqing was speechless for a long time.
"Why, it's very good!"
Asdo said proudly with his hands behind his back: "I found this in the warehouse. It has not been used yet. It is a real Turkic wool tent."
Yang Yuanqing looked at an exquisite two-story building behind him, frowned and said, "You don't plan to live in a tent!"
"why not?"
Asido said seriously: "Before I left, Sister Minqiu told me that if I miss my hometown, I can live the same life as my hometown, such as living in a tent, making my own horse wine, and riding horses in the wilderness."
"Wait! Wait!"
Yang Yuanqing waved her hand quickly, interrupting her dream of her hometown, "Did Min Qiu really say that?"
"Don't you believe it? Just ask her."
Asdo opened the curtain and entered the tent, with a hint of grievance in his tone, "I want to live in the tent anyway!"
Yang Yuanqing walked into the tent, gently hugged her waist from behind, and whispered in her ear: "Are the swans on the grassland homesick for home?"
Asiduo nodded silently, her eyes were a little red, she was a little homesick, missing the cattle and sheep on the grassland, missing the water of the Egen River, missing her mother and her Zi, turned around and nestled against Yang Yuanqing's Xiong
In front of him, he whispered: "Although I miss home, I will not go back."
"You can go back and see your mother.
Asido shook his head, "If I go back, my brother will imprison me and I will never see you again in my life. Although the water of the Egen River is clear, swans prefer the warmth of the south."
"Okay! You can live in the tent." Yang Yuanqing agreed.
"Really?"
Asiduo didn't expect that Yang Yuanqing would really agree. She couldn't help being surprised and walked out quickly, "Then I'll move your things in!"
Yang Yuanqing was stunned. Only then did he realize that the consequence of agreeing was that he would also have to live in a tent. He quickly grabbed her and said, "Wait a minute!"
"Why, did Mr. Yang cheat so quickly?"
Asdo looked at him resentfully, "Or do you not want to live with me at all?"
Yang Yuanqing had a headache. The grassland girl's boldness and forthrightness and passionate love sometimes made him very happy, but sometimes made him a bit bitter. An idea flashed in his mind, and he smiled and said: "After all, I just ordered today that when the army is stationed,
No one is allowed to live in a tent, including myself. The military orders are as follows. I mean, just put the tent up in the room. What do you think?"
Asdo muttered in a low voice: "What's the difference between that and a tent?"
She also knew that she couldn't really let Yang Yuanqing live in the tent. She thought for a while and said: "Then put the tent up in the backyard, and we will come and stay here every three days."
Yang Yuanqing couldn't bear to spoil her mood, so he pinched the tip of her nose and said with a smile, "Okay!"
"Then you have to drink it if I brew it!" Asdo's eyes lit up, and he made further demands.
"no problem!"
Asido was overjoyed. She opened the tent and ran out. She moved as quickly as an antelope, causing Yang Yuanqing to grab her. Her laughter was heard from afar, "I'll go find the warriors to move the tent."
Yang Yuanqing was filled with hatred, but he had no choice but to do anything to her. He also walked out of the tent, only to see a maid running towards her in a hurry.
"What's up?"
"Master, someone is looking for you, outside the house, his name is"
The maid thought for a long time before remembering, "It seems to be called Yang Jiachen."
Yang Yuanqing was startled at first, and then he was overjoyed. Isn't Yang Jiachen the leader of the nine iron guards who stayed in Youzhou?
In the fourth year of Renshou, Yang Yuanqing led five thousand cavalry to defeat Yang Liang's army. At that time, his grandfather Yang Su's eighteen iron guards followed him, nine of whom served as officers in the cavalry. After the war, the five thousand cavalry returned to You
state.
Yang Yuanqing wanted to give the Iron Guards a future, so he sent nine Iron Guards back together with 5,000 cavalry. Later, they were promoted one after another, and most of them became Ying Yang Lang General, and the worst was Eagle Strike Lang General. He also served them
I felt happy, but I didn't expect that seven years later, he, Yang Yuanqing, would also come to Youzhou.
This made him feel that there was a kind of providence in the dark.
"Invite him in quickly!"
In the living room, Yang Jiachen knelt down on the ground, kowtowed to Yang Yuanqing respectfully, and said in a choked voice: "Yang Jiachen, see your lord!"
Yang Jiachen was called Jiayi back then, which was the name given to him by Yang Su. He was already thirty-seven or eighteen years old and had already become a stable and mature general in the army, but he could not forget his roots.
Yang Yuanqing looked at this loyal family general, and his heart was filled with emotion. He passed through Zhuojun several times, but did not go to find them. He thought that the years had worn away the traces of the iron guards on their bodies, but he did not expect that in their hearts
His loyalty is still the same as it was seven years ago.
Yang Yuanqing quickly helped him up, "Get up quickly!"
Yang Jiachen wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and sighed: "Our biggest regret is that we did not go to pay homage to our old master. We have said we should go several times, but in the end Manager Yuan did not approve it. Last year, Lao Liu went to the capital to do business.
, we had no choice but to ask him to pay our respects on our behalf. This time we heard that the young master has been appointed as the general manager of Youzhou, we were so happy that we looked forward to the young master’s arrival as soon as possible.”
Yang Yuanqing nodded, "Is everyone in Youzhou?"
"They all served as generals in Youzhou, but they were scattered around. The armies of Lao San, Lao Wu and Lao Qi were transferred to Liaodong to prepare for the conquest of Goryeo."
Yang Jiachen took out a list and handed it to Yang Yuanqing with both hands, "This is the current situation of our nine brothers. The positions they hold and their current names are basically married."
