I am the carpenter king

Liaodong in March is still in depression, the earth is covered with white snow, which does not mean to melt at all.The trees on the street are also bare, and with the constant swaying of the cold wind, a dead branch will occasionally hang off.

As the political and cultural center of Eastern Liaodong, Liaoyang City seemed very prosperous. As soon as the city gate was opened, many people came in and out.The hunters bring their prey with them, hoping to get a good price and buy some food when they go back.If they still have enough money, pulling a piece of cloth for their mother-in-law and children is the greatest wish in their hearts.

There are many residents in Liaoyang City, and the most common people on the streets are not the people who entered the city, but the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.The most important town in Liaodong, Liaoyang City is stationed with [-] Ming troops.The Liaodong governor's yamen is located in Liaoyang City, a yamen in the east of the city.

In the second hall of the Governor's Yamen, Liaodong Governor Yang Lian is sitting on a chair drinking tea.It has been more than half a year since he came to Liaodong to work. Although the time is not short, Yang Lian still doesn't like the climate of Liaodong.In such a cold winter, Yang Lian has always kept the teacup in his hand, firstly, it can keep him warm, and secondly, Yang Lian doesn't drink alcohol.

"Your lord is so arrogant, how long do you want me to wait? It's not a good way to hide your head and show your tail like this!" Putting the teacup in his hand on the table, and glanced at the person sitting next to him, Yang Lian frowned. , said in 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 tea here in Liaodong, so I don't know if you can get it." I can't get used to drinking!"

She frowned slightly, not many people knew about her liking and Longjing, but this person seemed to know it very well.I recalled the appearance of this person in my mind, although I felt a little familiar.But I can't remember anything.

"Don't think about it, my lord. I'm a lowly person. It's not surprising that I don't recognize you. If you come to me from a lowly job, don't tell me to wait for you. You should wait for a lowly job. But my family's adults are different, and it's worth it for Mr. Yang." Waiting!" The man spoke in a lukewarm manner.There is always a calm smile on his face, and he looks confident.

"Master Yang has a very good temper, it's very rude of you to talk to Master Yang like this!" Suddenly a man's voice sounded from outside, he smiled heartily, and walked in through the door.

Yang Lian seemed to have known that someone would come in, but Yang Lian didn't look up, and said with a smile: "I've been waiting for a long time, Mr. Luo has enough airs. Although they are all the emperor's pro-army, the person you sent is not enough to deal with him. official!"

The person who came in was slightly taken aback.Laughing loudly, he took the overcoat on his body, and said, "Master Yang is indeed Mr. Yang, you all go out!" He waved to the people in the room, and ordered in a casual tone.

"Come here, serve tea!" Yang Lian ordered to the servant beside him without answering the man's words.

When the tea was served, Yang Lian waved his hand.With a serious face, he said: "You all go down! Tell me to go down, don't bother me if there is nothing to do!"

"Yes, sir!" The servant replied respectfully, bowed and retreated.

There were only two people left in the room but neither of them spoke. That person had already sat opposite to Yang Lian, looking at Yang Lian with a smile.

"I have been thinking that the emperor will definitely send someone to assist Mr. Sun for such a big matter as the restructuring of Liaodong. I have thought about it for a long time. I have thought about all the people in the capital, but I haven't found anything suitable. But I just saw As for my lord, I finally suddenly realized that the emperor has all kinds of tricks, which are beyond the reach of my subjects!" Yang Lian shook his head with a wry smile.There is Naidao in the tone.

The man picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, then his expression became a little weird, and he said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Yang likes to drink Longjing before, but now I see that the rumors are wrong!"

"Although Yang likes Longjing, it's okay if he doesn't have one. After all, state affairs are the most important thing. A concubine who rides the world of mortals laughs, and everyone knows that it's litchi. The emperor should take this as a warning, and we naturally must take this as a warning." Looking at the man seriously, Yang Lian said with a serious face.

"My lord is really righteous, you are worthy of being the emperor's trustworthy minister! It really is a well-deserved reputation!" The man cupped his hands at Yang Lian and said with a smile on his face.

Nodding in disbelief, Yang Lian straightened his expression, and said in a serious tone: "Lord Luo, as the commanding officer of the Jinyi Guard, you are not here to support Yang to say these things? Didn't the emperor let you Did you come to Liaodong to play?"

Nodding rather seriously, Luo Sigong's expression also became serious, and said in a low tone: "Master Yang, and Mr. Yang and Mr. Luo will not hide anything. The emperor is indeed worried about the affairs of Liaodong. Although Mr. Sun He has outstanding abilities and has a high prestige in the Liaodong Army, but there are some things that no one can say for sure. Regarding the reform of Liaodong, the emperor has issued strict orders, and Luo will not interfere at all, and Master Sun will deploy everything. Luo Somebody came to Liaodong just in case, if there is any situation, we can solve it in time."

Slowly nodded, Yang Lian's expression was also very serious, and he said to Luo Sigong on one side: "There will be no problem in the restructuring of Shenyang City, after all, there are Liaodong Governor Xiong Tingbi and Shenyang Chief Soldier He Shixian. There are two Is there anyone here? No one dares to do anything, and no one can do anything. Everyone knows that if the system is really restructured, it must be good news for the soldiers at the bottom of the guard. Someone above will suppress it, and the soldiers below will not follow suit. Things will be much easier." Yang Lian sighed at this point, with a look of regret flashing across his face.

Glancing at Yang Lian, Luo Sigong nodded with a smile, and said in a deep voice: "Master Yang, there must be trouble. Otherwise, why did the emperor send Lord Sun and Lord Yang to Liaodong? Why did he send Luo to Liaodong as well?" Come? With us here, no matter how big the trouble is, it won't be trouble!"

"Lord Luo is really a hero!" Laughing loudly, Yang Lian continued: "The restructuring of Liaodong is, in the final analysis, two places, one is Shenyang City and the other is Liaoyang City. As for the other places, they are all on the top of the wall. Damn, the matter is really done, and they can only accept their fate. The problem in Shenyang City is not serious now, but Liaoyang City is in some trouble!" [

"Master Yang, please speak, Luo will listen to you!" Luo Sigong nodded solemnly, and said in a low tone.

Nodding vigorously, Yang Lian 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 Liaodong military. Now there are seven general soldiers in Liaoyang City, and no one is in command. There are [-] soldiers, and these seven people are the focus of this reform. As long as they don't object and don't make trouble, the reform will be sure."

Nodding in agreement, Luo Sigong looked at Yang Lian with piercing eyes, without the slightest expression on his face.He also knows these things, after all, Jin Yiwei is not a vegetarian here.

"Among the seven generals, five were here before I took office, and the other two were promoted during the Shenyang battle. Although they were promoted after the war, they were all generals in the past. It is actually not easy to use them to do anything. But among the seven chief soldiers, three are hereditary officers, and the other four are not. However, the embezzlement of military salaries by these people may not be that serious, but the oppression of guard soldiers There are quite a lot of things to do." Yang Lian said all the news he had learned, with a slight worry on his face, and he had been thinking about this issue since he got the restructuring.

Hearing Yang Lian's words, Luo Sigong on the side laughed and said, "Master Yang, you are so smart and confused for a while! Liaodong is facing Jiannu, and it is the gateway to the northern border of the Ming Dynasty. The army reform is another The most important thing is, why did the emperor want to try it in Liaodong? Wouldn’t it be better to put it in another place where there is no danger? Master Yang always thinks about the troublesome side, didn’t he think of the beneficial side?”

Yang Lian was stunned immediately, his mind couldn't help turning, he patted his forehead lightly in fear and said: "Since Saarhu, the guard system in Liaodong has almost existed in name only, and now the soldiers in Liaoyang and Shenyang are basically paid by the army. .Although the fields have been distributed to them and the system is similar to the original one, these soldiers do not have military status!"

Looking at Yang Lian with a smile, Luo Sigong had a complacent expression on his face, obviously being able to remind Yang Lian made him feel very proud.

"As long as those generals are under control and they don't make trouble, the restructuring will be fine. As long as the soldiers know what the court wants and don't let them stir up the morale of the army, then the big thing will be accomplished!" Luo Sigong laughed and became serious again. With a bit of caution on his face, he lowered his voice.

"Is there any action in Shenyang?".Seeing what Luo Sigong said, Yang Lian immediately understood, and said with some surprise.

Not everyone is aware of the reorganization of Liaodong. Maybe the news has already come from the capital, but not many people know about it.This layer of household papers has not been pierced, and everyone pretends to be serious.

If there is an action in Shenyang, it means that it is at the last moment, and success or failure depends on it!

"Well, Master Sun has made a decision. Tomorrow, news will be released in Shenyang to carry out restructuring. Liaoyang does not need to be moved, but Liaoyang must be stabilized so that no mistakes can be made. This matter belongs to Master Yang and Luo. We must take care of it. Study it!" Luo Sigong said with a serious expression, a trace of excitement flashed across his face.

Frowning and thinking for a while, Yang Lian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what is coming will eventually come.What does this restructuring mean for Liaodong?What does it mean for the Ming Dynasty?Yang Lian felt that he had vaguely seen it, but he didn't know it very clearly!How wonderful it would be if it was really what I thought in my heart!
