The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

The military affairs of Daming are very important.

The literati ruling class has never dared to relax the control of these "mud legged" generals.

And their means of controlling generals are also very direct. In short, there are only two points: one is the money bag and the other is the official hat.

In addition, the local Wenchen and Jianjun in Jiubian, including eunuchs, were quite effective before the middle and late Ming Dynasty, to be exact, before the middle and early Chongzhen period.

The personnel transfer and promotion among generals, including their nephews and sons of Commons, must first nod by these civil servants if they want to eat the royal food and enjoy the afterglow of their parents.

Therefore, even if Li Chengliang had 8000 family members and all the leaders of the surrounding tribes came to him as sons and grandsons, he could integrate 100000 or even hundreds of thousands of combat effectiveness at will, but he still did not dare to covet the imperial court too much.

However, time is like water and things flow. After Wanli and the rise of Nuzhen in Northeast China, especially after sun Chengzong established Liaoxi military group, the situation has begun to change subtly.

Like at this time.

In the west of Liaoning Province, there are still frequent generals' movements at some levels. However, the Zujia and Wujia families, including Zhao zhuangjiao and Manchu, have changed in their roots.

Not to mention Dongjiang in Eastern Liaoning, and Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong in southern Liaoning.

To put it bluntly, you can make an order from the court, but it depends on the temperature.

If the fire is gentle, you and I can accept it, then everything is easy to discuss.

However, once any party touches the bottom line first, it will not end well.

At this time, no matter the imperial court, or the western, southern, and Eastern Liaoning, all the parties were aware of it.

But no one will pick things up to the surface at this time and at this critical point.

At this time, Yang Guozhu's active courtship, Li Yuanqing of course understand his mind.

Although Xuanfu town is also a nine border area, adjacent to Mongolian Tartars, there is no lack of opportunity to do meritorious deeds. However, to put it bluntly, how can they compare with the Liao Dynasty in terms of battle and gold content?

Not to mention the risks.

To put it bluntly, his brother, nephew and nephew of Yang Guozhu wanted to be promoted. At this time, the best way to get promoted was to go to Liaoning Province to "gild".

But if you want to gild the land of Liao without going to Li Yuanqing's long life camp in the world, do you want to go to Liaoxi for a living?

People in Huahua sedan chair carry people.

Contacts are the most valuable resources in China, both at this time and in later generations.

In the face of Yang Guozhu's active courtship, how can Li Yuanqing not accept it?

Soon, a few small eunuchs with six or seven food boxes came here quickly, from which they took out buns, meat cakes, porridge, and many boiled eggs, dried bacon, cakes and so on.

Li Yuanqing didn't have to speak. These little eunuchs quickly presented meals to each one according to their status and position.

This point, everyone is hungry, naturally will not be too polite.

But before dinner, people who understand Li Yuanqing will give him a grateful look and communicate with him.

Li Yuanqing responded one by one with a smile and nodded his head, and everyone would have known each other.

Of course, it is not without understanding.

A guerrilla in Yansui Town, who was in his early twenties, was obviously in Beijing for the first time. He was busy whispering to one of his attendants: "third brother, is the imperial palace still in charge of rice? Is there such a good thing? It seems that this little bun is not bad! "

His third brother couldn't help but stare at him, "shut up your dog's mouth! Eat your meal. Dare to say more than half a word, go back to Laozi and interrupt your dog's legs! "

With that, he looked at Li Yuanqing with gratitude.

Li Yuanqing smiles and nods in response.

"This, this..."

The guerrillas still don't understand why his third brother should scold him like this.

But on weekdays, his third brother's prestige is too great. He would not dare to say more at this time. He could only go back to ask the third brother after the reward was granted.

After a simple breakfast, a few small eunuchs will soon clean up here, even the point of face stars are not left.

Li Yuanqing invited all the generals to have breakfast here. It seems that things are not very impressive, but this is the first time in more than 200 years!

This

If it is picked by which big man prick son, this is not to make fun of!

After a short rest, news finally came from the direction of the main hall. The Emperor Xuan Mao Wenlong, Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong, and Chen Jisheng all met!

Soon, under the guidance of the eunuch, Li Yuanqing and all of them came to the hall according to the rules and regulations, and kowtowed respectfully several times according to the guidelines. Then they came to the palace and knelt down.

There are endless red robes and boots on both sides, which makes people dazzled.At this time, without the above call, Li Yuanqing did not dare to look up everywhere. He could only look at his nose and heart and count sheep in silence.

Soon, after the eunuch's shrill voice and a long and tedious reading, Mao Wenlong's reward was the first to begin.

Not surprisingly, Mao Wenlong's rank was slightly raised by half a grid, from Prince Shaoshi to Prince Shaofu. He also gave Shangfang a sword to supervise the military affairs of pingliao town.

Mao Wenlong was very excited. He kowtowed respectfully and thanks for his kindness. Tears welled up in his old eyes.

Next, it was Li Yuanqing's turn.

Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "Li junmen, you did a good job in the battle of southern Liaoning. What a delight

Li Yuanqing said respectfully: "all these things are entrusted to the emperor Hong Fu Qi Tian, so that the ministers and children can avoid the flood. My emperor's grace shines like the sun and moon in the sky. Long live my emperor

At this time, Li Yuanjing was called "capital" at last.

At this time, although Li Yuanqing's flattery was somewhat naked, but his achievements were placed here, and the emperor's heart became more and more happy.

At this time, he of course understood that without Li Yuanqing's strong efforts to contain him, Mao Wenlong could not have achieved such a result, or even might have suffered a great deal.

"Ha ha! Li junmen, you have done so much for me. How can I reward you

Emperor Tianqi said, smiling at Li Yuanqing, although the eyes are soft, but there is a touch of Wang Qi sharp.

Li Yuanqing did not expect that the emperor would "test" him on such an occasion. The cold sweat was seeping out from his forehead.

For a moment, Li Yuanqing said, "serve the emperor and share the worries of the court. I dare not ask for too much reward."

But there was a pause.

Li Yuanqing said again: "however, your majesty, speaking of rewards, I really have a small request. When the minister is old and can not join the army, the emperor can give him a large house in the capital. It is better to have mountains and water, so that the minister can always accompany his majesty. Daily fishing, cuddling rabbits and so on. Of course, it would be the best if your majesty could reward the minister with ten or eight beautiful maids. "

"Vulgar!"

"Li Yuanqing, where do you think this is? How dare you talk so much? Ah? "

"Li junmen, this is chaotang. Please pay attention to your words."

"Li..."

All of a sudden, there was a loud voice of criticism.

But Li Yuanqing knelt on the ground and could not raise his head. For a moment, he could not tell who dared to jump out and blame him.

"Silence, silence!"

In front of Wei Zhongxian, a great Eunuch in his early 30s yelled in a hurry.

Calm down when you're heading for Don.

However, the little emperor of Tianqi laughed: "Li junmen, you are a little vulgar. However, I know you read little, I will forgive you innocent! What's the old saying? The words are rough, the reason is not rough! Li junmen, today, in the presence of civil and military officials, in the presence of a large partner, I can make an oath to you. Some day, as long as you can step down dongnu, I will promise all your conditions! What's more, I'll reward you with money you can't spend all your life! "

All the officials around him suddenly heard a low voice of sobbing.

It has been known for a long time that Li Yuanqing's family members are rich, but I never thought that Li Yuanqing's family members would be so rich!

The emperor even made an oath to Li Yuanqing in front of all civil and military officials. This is simply

How dare Li Yuanqing neglect? Busy respectfully kowtow a way: "my emperor is eternal Ming Jun, long live my emperor, long live!"

The emperor burst out laughing, "award it!"

"Yes

Soon, the tedious and long reading of the text began again.

Li Yuanqing kept enough respect on his face, but he didn't think so in his heart.

After all, the emperor is still young!

Although this method showed the emperor's heart, it was a pity that it did not bring much substantial benefits to Li Yuanqing.

In this way, we want Li Yuanqing to be determined. Li Yuanqing is not a literati who has been brainwashed since he was a child. How can he be at the mercy of the imperial court?

Soon, with the eunuch's sharp reading, Li Yuanqing also heard his reward.

The gap is not big.

Li Yuanqing was promoted to the rank of right governor and awarded gold medals and arrows. Although Li Yuanqing was not named as the commander in chief of the southern Liaoning town, at the end of the reading, he added an item: "control the war in southern Liaoning!"

This means that, legally, Li Yuanqing has the actual right to control the whole southern Liaoning war, including Chen Zhong's Guanglu Island, the whole southern Liaoning four guards, and even Lushun, which is subordinate to Dongjiang and Shen Shikui.

Although these things were basically under the control of Li Yuanqing, at this time, he was very excited to be able to clarify all these things from the legal point of view and from the great sense of justice. He was also very excited and bowed to thank him respectfully.Next, Chen Zhong and Chen Jisheng were awarded rewards.

As expected, Chen Zhongsheng was promoted to the post of governor, and Chen Jisheng was promoted to the post of deputy general.

Both of them were very grateful to the little emperor of Tianqi. The little emperor of Tianqi stood up in person and went to this side. Wen Yan encouraged Li Yuanqing to say a few words, which marked a perfect end to the award.

……

Out of the hall, over the white jade bridge, people are very excited.

Chen Jisheng, in particular, has been grinning from the door of the hall. Up to now, it has been somewhat difficult to close.

Mao Wenlong, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong have already received many awards in this respect. Naturally, they will not be as exaggerated as Chen Jisheng.

Mao Wenlong said with a smile, "Yuanqing, when are you going to return to southern Liaoning? What are your plans for the next step? "

Of course, Li Yuanqing knew that Mao Wenlong wanted to strike while the iron was hot and continue to launch an offensive against Houjin.

However, Li Yuanqing also understood that it was not appropriate to use swords and soldiers in the east or south of Liaoning Province at this time, and there was not enough recuperation. If the government didn't pay enough grain and rates next year, there would be a real war, which would be embarrassing.

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "commander in chief, it's not too late for us to go back to Liao to discuss this matter. Sweet potatoes on the humble island are about to mature. Look, this year's harvest should be good. Marshal, if you have time, you can go to Changsheng island and have a look. Let's have a taste of this fresh sweet potato. "

"Sweet potato?"

Mao Wenlong was stunned. "Yuanqing, what is this
