Chapter 147 Pressure

"It's a pity that the generals in western Liaoning are, but they still need to be used..." Sun Chengzong whispered in a slight voice, and even Mao Yuanyi, who was so close to him, could not hear clearly.

"What did the Lord of the Pavilion say?"

"I will go to tour Ningyuan, Jinzhou, and Linghe in a few days." Sun Chengzong made a decision in an instant. He said with a bright look: "In the near future, we must see if there is any battle to fight. If the soldiers in front of us and those who fail to meet the standards should be mainly visiting soldiers and generals. Do you understand?"

"I understand late." Mao Yuanyi understood that Sun Chengzong should have traded with the generals in western Liaoning with the presence of the guest generals, so that they could find an opportunity to take the initiative, and it would be better to win several consecutive battles to resolve the attacks of the eunuchs in the court.

In fact, many of the people who attacked Sun Chengzong were truly non-partisan Qingliu. They were truly dissatisfied with Sun Chengzong spending tens of millions of dollars in a row but without any measures for several years. It would be fine if there was no comparison. A group of merchants in the north swept the desert. Dongjiang Town continued to harass and attack Jianlu for many years. A group of defeated fleeing soldiers and civilians in the Thirteen Mountains were able to withstand the siege of the Housing and Jianlu for many years and could launch a counterattack. In contrast, Sun Ge's troops have received more than 10 million in silver in the past three years. What did Sun Chengzong do? So Sun Chengzong's impeachment was not only a party struggle, but also a considerable number of people really doubted Sun Chengzong's ability.

Simply put, a considerable number of officials doubted Sun Chengzong's grand strategy of raising troops without fighting and training troops to repair forts.

If you only do these internal affairs skills, how could Sun Ge's troops talk about knowing the army? Any civil servant with ethics and corresponding abilities can do it, and it may even do it better.

At this point, Sun Chengzong had no way out. Either the generals in western Liaoning fought a few battles to revive his reputation, making it impossible to question the importance of his guardianship of Liaodong. He stayed in western Liaoning as a chief minister and waited for opportunities, or he could be impeached and stepped down at any time, and he would not even be allowed to return to Beijing to serve.

The emperor trusted Sun Chengzong, but the emperor's trust was limited. Sun Chengzong could not always rely on the emperor's unconditional trust. Even if the emperor supported him in his heart, as an emperor, he would have to be equal. It was impossible to put such an important position on an incompetent person.

At this time, Sun Chengzong must order his generals to fight.

"General Ma is also waiting for the opportunity." Mao Yuanyi comforted Sun Chengzong and said, "No matter what, the Lord of the Pavilion brought General Ma from Ningxia, and he was really grateful."

General Ma is mentioned as General Ma Shilong, the general of Liao Town who was strongly recommended by Sun Chengzong. He was originally from a general family in Ningxia. Sun Chengzong believed that this person was really capable, and he could balance the power in western Liaoning from the outside. In addition, Ma Shilong did have some strength, so he was able to take over as General Liaoning.

However, the pressure Sun Chengzong is facing is quite great, and this pressure has directly moved to Ma Shilong. Unlike You Shilu and Ma Chengen and other guest generals, Ma Shilong's main job is the general of Liao Town. Liao Town wins or loses, which is directly related to him. Sun Chengzong is under great pressure, and Ma Shilong's pressure is not small.

"Tell him not to be anxious." Sun Chengzong remained quite calm at this moment and said quite generously: "The more anxious the more it is, the easier it is to get into trouble. If there is any problem, as long as the cabinet department is present, it will take care of him."

"Yes, I know later." Mao Yuanyi agreed with great respect.

"By the way." Mao Yuanyi said: "How should people from Thirteen Mountains get involved in something? "

"Don't pay attention." Sun Chengzong said exhausted: "No matter whether they want to ambush Jianlu or sneak into the mainland, there is no need to pay attention."

Mao Yuanyi first made a battle, but later he understood that Sun Chengzong no longer had the energy to care about these things. The pressure of Liao Town was due to the need for a victory in a war. No matter how many other things were taken, it would be useless. No matter what small moves Shisanshan did, it would not be aimed at Liao Town, so Sun Chengzong was too lazy to pay attention to it.

"well……"

After walking out of the sign-in room, I felt the good weather in late spring, and the sun shining on my body, and it felt warm and comfortable. It was not as hot as summer. The surroundings were green. People were doing their own things, some were calm and some were in a hurry, but no one knew that it might happen in the near future.

The one who is most worried and helpless about Mao Yuanyi is the Thirteen Mountains. This place is completely uncontrollable. There are tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians on the mountain. Although it is said to be divided into dozens of stocks, and the large and small forces are intertwined, the situation is very complicated, but who knows whether the situation on the mountain is as claimed or has a different pattern?

Mao Yuanyi was always worried that Hutchison's hand would reach to Liaodong. Shisan Mountain was obviously a nail. In addition, Pidao heard that it was also working with Hutchison. Hutchison's hand was really long enough. Who knows what Zhang Han was going to do?

The rise of Heyusheng was a "credit" of Mao Yuanyi. Now he marketed Hutchison ironware from all over the country. When he first entered the Ministry of Industry, Mao Yuanyi strongly recommended it. Although it was silver goods, Mao Yuanyi was always worried that Hutchison would raise the flag of the anti-flag.

By then, I will be really yellow mud on my butt, either shit or shit.

At this time, a minor official came over and bowed and said, "Mr. Mao, someone brought Feng Shuzi over, and the person was at the door."

Mao Yuanyi is one of Sun Chengzong's most trusted aides, and people still respect him very much.

"Okay, I'll go and have a look."

Mao Yuanyi walked all the way to the side door of the yamen gate. There was a group of soldiers wearing cotton armor guarding the other side. Not far away were the yamen and military camps. People came and went either officials or generals. There were iron cavalry from the entire battalion garrison here. A team of cavalry happened to pass by the road not far away in front of the yamen. The red flags were erected, the flags covered the sky and the sun. The swords and guns in the cavalry's hands emitted dazzling light. Most of the cavalry were wearing double-breasted spikes, and a few cavalry were wearing serious iron scale armor, which was quite dazzling.

The cavalry were all very majestic Liaodong Han. Although they were not taken over by the generals in western Liaoning, their treatment and equipment among the few Iron Cavalry camps in western Liaoning were quite good. Sun Chengzong himself was here, and the generals could make money from elsewhere, but the equipment and training of the Iron Cavalry Camp and the Carriage Cannon Battalion were still quite good.

The so-called Guanning Iron Cavalry in later generations was the former of this Iron Cavalry camp established by Sun Chengzong when he was in charge of Liaodong. The current name is the Iron Cavalry Camp. Guanning Iron Cavalry is a convenient name for later generations.

Hundreds of cavalry passing by with swords and guns, it is difficult to not attract attention. Near the closing gate, I often see the entire camp passing by, which also has a great comfort to the psychology of the people who are stationed nearby. From the command of Sun Ge's army to Liaodong, from tens of thousands of remaining soldiers to more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and with powerful camps like the chariot and artillery battalions and iron cavalry, the number of generals in general has also increased greatly... Because Sun Ge's army does not strictly restrain the generals, a large number of Liaoxi generals have gained benefits from the huge military pay, and the generals have money.

The number of Needys stored in the reserve has increased greatly. This seems to be a joke, but it is quite effective. At least under the current system, the number of generals who have money is equivalent to the number of Needys, and the number of Needys is equivalent to the increase of combat effectiveness. The western Liaoning gives people a very stable feeling. Hundreds of thousands of Liao people have opened up a large amount of wasteland from the close of the gate to Ningyuan area to settle down here. If there is not the torrent of iron cavalry in front of them, it is difficult for people to calm down and settle down here.

Mao Yuanyi quickly took his eyes from the iron cavalry team in front of him. At the side door, there was a man wearing a round hat and a blue-colored servant. Mao Yuanyi waved to the man, and the other party immediately ran over.

"The villain has seen Lord Mao." The visitor knelt in front of the door, and then brought a package of big red envelopes on both hands.

"No gift." Mao Yuanyi said, took the letter and looked at the cover. Her face moved and she tore it open on the spot. She stood at the door and looked directly.

"Mr. Li said you can answer my question?" Mao Yuanyi looked at the servant and saw that the other party was of extraordinary temperament. His eyes were very lively and he was not tall, but he was obviously a good martial arts master. Mao Yuanyi had been in the army for a long time, so he still had this vision.

"Yes." The young man who looked like a servant smiled and said, "I'm Xu Xiaoqi, who has been running under Mr. Li's side."

Mao Yuanyi smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's under Mr. Wang in the Hutchison shop."

Mao Yuanyi was familiar with the three big men of Hutchison in the capital. After all, these three people had established friendships with him back then, and Mao Yuanyi knew a little bit about Hutchison's layout in the capital. Otherwise, he would not have written to Li Guobin to ask about the abnormal mobilization of Shisanshan.

Sun Chengzong has not focused on these things recently. Mao Yuanyi, as his status, can do something by himself.

Li Guobin's reply letter was very polite. Of course, it was not because of his old friendship with Mao Yuanyi, but because of his reply to Mao Yuanyi's current status.

In any case, Mao Yuanyi is Sun Chengzong's most trusted aide, and he can most often represent the supervisor's meaning. Although Sun Chengzong did not know about Mao Yuanyi's previous trust, from the response of Hutchison, he should still pay great attention to it.

Xu Xiaoqi smiled but didn't answer, and there was no need to answer such questions.

"Then tell me in detail. Shisanshan has been doing frequent movements recently. What is the purpose?" Mao Yuanyi was not polite and asked directly: "At least 500 elite troops dived out from Jinzhou to Ningyuan, and then disappeared without a trace. What are you going to do?"

Mao Yuanyi said in a warning tone again: "The Jinzhou garrison is the former general of Datong Town General Ma. For generations, the imperial court will always be decent for him, but if you threaten the defense line in western Liaoning, the cabinet will never allow it, and I am afraid there will be a big obstacle to General Ma."

The defense line of the Later Jin Dynasty emerged from the Thirteen Mountains, followed by the defense line of the Ming army. Now Ma Chengen is guarding Jinzhou. You Shilu originally guarded Jinzhou, but now he has gone to the Daling River.

Mao Yuanyi's warning is simple and effective. If Hutchison's soldiers run out to make trouble, the first thing will be the one who falls on Ma Chengen. The Ma family is already tied to Hutchison and is a serious ally. If Hutchison makes a missed slap, it is equivalent to betraying his allies. This is not easy to take the blame.
