Chapter 61 Yunnan
On the way back to Yongchang Prefecture, Yunnan, Yang Yinglong almost fell off the horse's back because he was afraid of his legs being weak.
"Who could have thought that Sigu was loyal to the court and wanted to tell fortunes? What if he was wrong in the hexagram!"
When he returned to the temporary governor of Yongchang Prefecture, Yang Yinglong did not forget to complain, "You old man doesn't know that if there is any mistake, Meng Yang has 14,000 soldiers. Even if I am always in the world, I will never come back!"
The Yunnan Governor Wang Ning was very old, and he could not be very good at governing the country, and he knew nothing about military strategy. Fortunately, his career was open and he finally got the position of Yunnan Governor until he was old, but he had no choice but to catch up with the momentum of the court's military use against Myanmar.
Seeing that Yang Yinglong came back to fulfill his mission, the old man was holding his beard and was happy. He ignored Yang Yinglong's fear of bear, raised his hand and said three times in a row: "It's great, it's best if you're fine!"
As for Yang Yinglong asking him what to do later, he didn't know. He said something in a daze, "With a chieftain in front of him, the thief cannot accomplish anything." Obviously, on the eve of the war, the Yunnan Governor had already thought that there was no disaster.
The three proclamations and six comforts are important to the border of Yunnan, and the old man cannot notice it at all. The mere two chieftains turned their minds and made the governor feel as proud and happy as if he had recovered the lost land.
Yang Yinglong bowed below, and while he looked down, he curled his lips while he was unable to see others, he said in his heart: It is a virtue to be the chief of Sichuan!
He felt that this battle was completely caused by his brother-in-law. If ordinary officials were like governors, let alone the three Xuan and six comforts in the foreign lands of the southwest, what if the chieftains between Kawaguchi attacked and merged each other?
The officials of the court did not regard those places as their own land and the people under their rule. What could they do if the war was in full swing?
If these chief officials change their behavior of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, those chieftains dare not lie to disobey them. If they know equality like their brother-in-law and treat the chieftains as individuals, according to the power of the Ming Dynasty, the chieftains in the southwest will not dare to rebel for a hundred years.
There is no one like our Yang Tusi, who was wronged under the nose of the provincial officials during the day, and before going to bed at night, he secretly measured the combat effectiveness of the chieftain soldiers and the provincial soldiers, and laughed at these weak chickens in his heart. Only by getting enough pleasure can he fall asleep peacefully.
But Yang Yinglong would no longer expect anything - Yunnan, this is the place where exiled. The talented man Yang Shen died in Yongchang Prefecture. He chanted the river that went east of the Yangtze River and almost fell from there.
If you are sent to such a miserable place by the court, there must be a reason for being sent here. Obviously, Yang Yinglong has found the reason why Wang Ning was sent here.
Although the governor Wang Ning did not understand military affairs, there was still one person in the hall. He had been leading troops for several years and was quite knowledgeable about military affairs. He was also a famous scholar named Luo Rufang.
Luo Rufang was also old. He studied under Yan Jun, a Taizhou School, passed the imperial examination in the 22nd year of Jiajing, devoted himself to studying for ten years. In the 32nd year, he was a Jinshi and served as a magistrate of Taihu County, the head of the Shandong Department of the Ministry of Justice, the prefect of Ningguo, and the prefect of Dongchang. He emphasized education and all achieved remarkable political achievements.
In the seven years since Longqing, Yunnan served as deputy envoy of Yunnan Road Inspection, and his responsibilities were divided into Yongchang and began to lead troops.
Luo Rufang is not the best official like Wang Ning. He found the key point in Yang Yinglong's words, asked the governor for instructions, and asked Yang Yinglong: "General Yang wants to lead the Bozhou army into Mengyang, why not stay in Yongchang? When the Burmese army invades the various departments, it is better to rush to help."
The confused governor Wang Ning listened, quickly said yes, and asked Yang Yinglong to sit down and talk, "This elite army is better for guarding Yongchang. As long as Yongchang is not lost, everything will be safe!"
As for the three Xuan and Liu Hui, what do you care about?
"What Deputy Envoy Luo said is that there are many borders for the Burmese army to invade, but there are two important points: one is Longchuan and the other is Meng Yang. Now the thief has surrendered Longchuan. I guess he will dare to come early. His next step must be Meng Yang."
Yang Yinglong was very desperate when the words of the two immediate bosses were made.
Luo Rufang is better. He started from the perspective of military support. It is naturally easier to send troops from Yongchang Prefecture than to pass Yongchang Prefecture from other places and then transfer to the road.
Wang Ning’s views are really desperate.
If you want to change to a well-behaved toast, you won’t say anything now, but Yang Yinglong can’t do it. He has a wild dog in his heart, and what he says is nonsense that he doesn’t believe in himself. What he always thinks is to continue his tradition of the Yang family army in Bozhou - listen to quell the chaos and loot the place!
After all, the Bozhou Army ran so far, even if it was transferred by his brother-in-law, he could not get the money from sending troops, right? He asked Chen Mu to ask him but couldn't beat him, so what could he do?
Whoever beats him and lets him take out!
The chieftain soldiers are different from other soldiers. Others are afraid of the death of soldiers. Yang Yinglong is not afraid of them. He is just afraid that there will be no war and no place to rob them.
This is all about these two immediate bosses. They have been stationed in Yongchang for a year and a half and have not sent troops. The military expenditure alone will cost Yang Yinglong death, and he is not willing to pay the money.
Before his eyes rolled around and thought of something good to say, Governor Wang Ning had already spoken and said, "I know that General Yang is dedicated to serving as a minister. This statement is not a matter of blame for killing the Burmese envoy - but isn't it cost-effective to annoy Mang Yinglong for the sake of mere Meng Yang?"
No, not cost-effective?
Hearing Luo Rufang coughing constantly, Wang Ning realized that he was speechless and laughed with a little embarrassed and indifferent expression.
During this time, he completely regarded Yang Yinglong as a military general in the court, not a chieftain. It was indeed a bit embarrassing to discuss betray the chieftain in front of the chieftain.
Yang Yinglong was very smart. He bowed seriously: "Master Futai is dedicated to the country, and Yang deeply agrees! As long as we, the people of the Ming Dynasty, are beneficial to the court, not to mention that Meng Yang is not worth it. Even if Bozhou is not worth it to the court, it is okay to leave it alone!"
"The general is dedicated to the country!"
Wang Ning was embarrassed and disappeared. He stood up and bowed his hands, sat down and looked at Yang Yinglong's white face. The more he looked at him, the more he admired him, and simply said: "In fact, not only did I think this is the case, but even the letters from Mr. Zhang earlier meant this."
"Three Propagandas and Six Comforts are poor and different lands. They cannot cultivate their land and the people cannot use them. They spend money on their own money and make innocent people lose their lives. Therefore, when the situation is stable, I strictly prohibit the military guards from not being greedy for small profits and making small grievances, and to stir up the feelings of the barbarians."
Wang Ning may not be very talented, but he is absolutely honest in this regard. He believes in the letter to the chief minister like the heavenly book, and said: "The Master of the Pavilion also said that the three generals are heading south, and at this time when Yunnan is empty, we must restrain the army."
"Just yesterday, the governor of Yao An who was transporting military rations, Li Zhi also sent a letter to my husband about advocating farming wars. The military soldiers in the mansion have been mobilized to have a big fight with Mang Yinglong. Isn't this a nonsense!"
Li Zhi and Yang Yinglong knew that the descendants of the Shang Dynasty in Quanzhou had their ancestors surnamed Lin. Later, in order to avoid disaster, he changed his surname. When he led his troops to Yunnan, he asked Yao An and knew that this prefect who spoke wildly.
Seeing Wang Ning bringing out Zhang Juzheng's words, Yang Yinglong didn't dare to refute, nodded and said nothing more, glanced at Luo Rufang, and another group of people from the Yunnan chiefs, he also knew why he came here.
Taizhou School, students of the heart.
"In my opinion, General Yang might as well lead his troops to move the gods to protect the pass. In this way, if Meng Yang has something to do, you will be able to help Longchuan encounters military affairs."
Luo Rufang did not participate in Wang Ning's discussion. Although he said it to Yang Yinglong, he was actually waiting for Wang Ning to make a decision and asked, "What do you think Futai?"
