I am the carpenter king

Liaoyang City in April is still covered with snow. The snow on the ground has already melted at this time of year, but this year it does not mean to be civilized at all.However, the weather has started to get warmer, which makes many people breathe a sigh of relief. If it doesn't get warmer, this year's spring plowing may be delayed.

Although the weather was getting warmer, the atmosphere in Liaoyang City became more and more weird. The soldiers had joy on their faces, but there was no smile on the faces of the generals.No matter where he went, his face was full of sorrow, and his temper became more and more serious.

In the east of Liaoyang City, there is a house that is not very big, but no one dares to underestimate it, because it is the residence of Zhao Linguang, the general soldier of Liaoyang.As the commander-in-chief of Liaoyang, Zhao Linguang actually holds the title of Liaoyang guard. As the guard of Liaodong's capital, Zhao Linguang has a higher status than Shenyang city guard He Shixian.

Perhaps in other places, the status of guards in a city is really not high, and they are inferior when they see civil servants.Compared with the magistrates in this city, they are all inferior, but in Liaoyang City, they are not allowed. The generals in the frontier have their own confidants and generals, and the power is still relatively large.What's more, the defender of Liaoyang City, commanding the seven generals of Liaoyang City, his status should not be underestimated.

Zhao Lianguang's mansion is full of people coming and going every day, but on this day, no matter who came, they were all blocked by the porter.In this turbulent time, the door of Zhao Linguang's mansion was closed tightly, but everyone was quite worried. [

Although he is a general, Zhao Linguang's study is similar to that of a literati. Most of the Four Treasures of the Study and various books are military books, Sun Tzu's art of war and so on.

But at this time, Zhao Linguang was not in the mood to watch the fire in the room, there were chairs in the room, and several people sat on the chairs.There was already cold tea on the table at one side, and no one was in the mood to drink water at this time.

"Everyone, the restructuring of Shenyang has been going on for a month. The situation is very stable, and the restructuring is almost over. We all know that the next one must be our Liaoyang. I don't know what everyone thinks. I called everyone today. Feel free to speak up if you have any ideas." Zhao Linguang glanced over the crowd, with a smile on his face, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Liaodong was originally a Weisuo system, but after the Saerhu War, the Weisuo system was basically abandoned.Instead, the recruiting system recruited battalions, and the generals were no longer classified into small banners, general banners, hundreds of households, thousand households, and commanders.There are also official positions such as Shibaihu, Deputy Qianhu, Jianshi, and Tongzhi in the middle, and the division is very detailed.The ranks of the battalion soldiers have been changed to the ranks of general, general, guerrilla general, general, and general. Although the titles are different, the corresponding ranks are still the same.

Zhao Linguang, the guard general of Liaoyang, was actually a hereditary Tongzhi with the title of Liaoyang General Soldier.Originally, he was supposed to be the commander of Liaodong, commanding the entire Liaodong army.However, due to the collapse of the guard system, there were more than 20 soldiers in Liaodong General, and no one had the power to command.

Because of the mixture of the recruitment system and the guard system, the generals in Liaodong are also very chaotic. They often have both the official title of the guard system and the position of the recruiting system.Among them, the relationship is very complicated and involves a lot.

After hearing Zhao Linguang's words, the several thousand households all looked at each other with a bit of regret on their faces.One of the dark-faced chief soldiers took a breath, with deep bitterness in his tone, and said: "General, what can we do now that the matter has reached this point? Now the governor's yamen has released the word, and the news has already spread The boys in the barracks are all very happy, can we let people suppress the news. It may be possible to fool some of the soldiers in the past. Now it is difficult to do this well. ah!"

"General Zhou is right. We have been in Liaoyang for many years, and we know the situation here. It is hard for soldiers to have their heads pinned to their waistbands, and they really don't care that much about the court. But now that Marshal Sun is in Liaodong, The prestige in the army is so high, and this is a good thing for soldiers, we have no way to stop it!" The person sitting next to the dark-faced general echoed, although there was a wry smile on his face, but his eyes were With a trace of clarity.

"General Zhou and General Cheng, both of you are telling the truth. If you both want to accept the restructuring with peace of mind, will we still use it here? Since everyone is doing it together, naturally they don't want to accept the restructuring. Let me explain. Everyone sitting here is not clean under their buttocks. In the future, they will not say whether they have money or not. What we did in the past was not clean. Now we measure the land and check the accounts. Once things are revealed, we are afraid that we will all go to jail. Last time Everyone remembers what happened, Yin Jian is not far away, and we may become the next batch." A red-faced sweat glanced at the two people, and couldn't help but said, his eyes still swept the faces of everyone. .

The atmosphere in the room became dull again, everyone's faces were full of worries, what should we do!In the future, there will be no land, and the military salary will be fixed, so it will be difficult to make money.As long as there is one person under the deduction of military pay, things will be troublesome.I heard that Shenyang City has issued a rule that the salary of each soldier is two taels of silver per month.It's nothing to these officials, but to the taxis below, these two taels of silver are enough for a family.If there are more than ten acres of land, this life will be very easy.

The soldiers were naturally rejoicing, but the generals were sad, and their salaries were naturally much higher than that of the soldiers.But compared with the past, it is much worse. If the salary is really paid in this way, it will be difficult to think about such a life.

Several general soldiers lowered their heads, and finally their eyes fell on Zhao Linguang, obviously waiting for his attention.The people present are all headed by Zhao Linguang, and he has the greatest interests in it.

Zhao Linguang's expression was also unusually serious, his fingers kept tapping on the table, and his brows were furrowed tightly.He can naturally figure out what's going on here, even if it's a mutiny now, I'm afraid there will be no good results.The soldiers have already got the news, and they are all about living a good life. Who would want to do this kind of thing with you with their heads up.

But when he really accepted the restructuring, Zhao Linguang was not reconciled in his heart. He gave up what he deserved all of a sudden, and it felt like he was cutting his own flesh.After a long time, Zhao Linguang sighed deeply, and said with a wry smile: "Everyone, this general doesn't have any good ideas. Since the court has made up its mind, we can only wait obediently. The preparations in Shenyang City are almost ready. So what? The governor's yamen has nothing to say, and his attitude is already very obvious, not to mention the identity of that Lord Yang?"

Nai was revealed on the faces of several people. Although they were reluctant in their hearts, they were all relieved.After all, it might be worse to actually do something.If something goes wrong, it won't necessarily end well.

"You don't have to worry, what General Liu said just now will not happen. There has been news from Shenyang City that only the land is being measured. As for other things, they are all forgetting the past, so everyone can go back with peace of mind! But Don't take it lightly, go back and get ready!" With a slight wave of his hand, Zhao Linguang's face was full of despair.

When everyone left, Zhao Linguang sighed deeply, and murmured: "The imperial court is so clever! Let the past go, it's a good way! With this, even if we general soldiers want to make trouble, the generals below It may not be necessary to follow, and if there is any opposition from the soldiers, nothing will be accomplished!"

At this time, a few words suddenly flashed in Zhao Linguang's mind, man is a knife and I am a fish!

Two streets away from Zhao Linguang's mansion is the Liaodong governor's office. At this time, Yang Lian was walking back and forth in the study in the back house of the governor's office. [

"Master Yang, sit down! Scholars say that Mount Tai collapses in front of you and your color remains unchanged. This is not the bearing you should have!" Luo Sigong who was sitting on the side took a cup of tea in his hand, took a sip, and smiled. said.

"Lord Luo was just joking. If there is really nothing else to do, Yang's life and death are trivial, and delaying the imperial court's reform is a big deal! When Yang left the capital, he carried the emperor's letter with him, so he can't do anything at this time. I'm so anxious to wait!" Despite what he said, Yang Lian sat aside and took a sip of his own tea.

Putting the teacup on the table with a smile, Luo Sigong touched the wrench in his hand, his expression gradually became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Master Yang's character and ability are very good, the emperor trusts Lord Yang for no reason Yes, Mr. Yang doesn’t need to belittle himself. Luo has dealt with those people, although they are very rude, but they are not stupid. Knowing that things cannot be violated, they will not do it, we just wait for the news here!”

Yang Lian didn't say anything, it's useless if there is no news now, but Luo Sigong's face is determined, is there any news?But he didn't want to say it, and Yang Lian didn't like to ask.

"After the reorganization of Liaodong this time, Master Sun will organize and train a new army, and the whole Liaodong will definitely change drastically. Maybe I dare not say this year, but I will definitely be able to fight Jiannu next year, even if I can't sweep the grasslands and annihilate the Jiannu who came to attack. But it's no problem. In a few years, I'm afraid Emperor Chengzu's sweep of Mobei will happen again!" Seeing that Yang Lian was silent, Luo Sigong glanced at him and said loudly.

"If the restructuring is really successful, Yang also believes that there will be such a day!" Obviously, these two people have never doubted Sun Chengzong's ability, and they both have respect on their faces.

Suddenly there were footsteps outside, and a captain from a thousand households walked in, saluted the two of them, and said respectfully: "My lord, it's over there, they decided to obey the reform!" "

Both Luo Sigong and Yang Lian breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on their faces!
