Let Shen Shixing feel that the benefits he can get from fighting this battle can even exceed those of the Shixue school, which is not low. Because the merit here is mainly the merit of war, and the merit of war...... That is equivalent to making Shen Shixing feel that Li Chengliang can overwhelm Qi Jiguang.

Although Shen Shixing is not very military-savvy, he also knows that Li Chengliang showed his face more than Qi Jiguang before because of the policy requirements of the imperial court.

Xihuaidong system, Qi Jiguang has no chance to "fight out", of course he can't get any credit, but Qi Jiguang guards the thistle town without leakage, will this ability be fake? In addition, now that Daning City is in the hands of Daming, Qi Jiguang is closer to Li Chengliang than Li Chengliang in dispatching troops, which makes it even more "merit-grabbing" to gain an innate advantage.

So normally, it's not easy.

However, Gao Pragmatic laughed and said, "Da Sima, what's so difficult about this?" Just transfer Qi Jiguang back to Beijing. ”

Liang Menglong was stunned and said, "How did Qi Jiguang transfer back to Jingshi?" He is not a civil servant. ”

It is good to arrange for Wenchen and Bianchen to be transferred back to Beijing, usually to mix up with a squire in the military department first, and then see how to transfer, but Wuchen is different. Wuchen generally does not have the option of returning to Beijing, because even if he hangs one of the titles of several governors of the five armies, the five armies of the capital of the Beijing division does not have a radish pit for border generals and marshals - if you come back, where will the nobles hang?

Of course, Gao Pragmatic also knew this, and smiled and said, "Does the Great Sima know that the student came back late in the palace last night?" ”

Liang Menglong's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Your news, everyone in Beijing knows it." ”

Gao Pragmatic didn't distinguish it, but just said: "Da Sima knows what the student said to the emperor?" ”

"Do you really want to move the camp?" Liang Menglong said cautiously: "Jingying is not a place to wait, although you and Chengguo Gong have always had a good relationship, but Jingying is their lifeblood......

"The students didn't intend to touch their cash cows, but instead lightened the burden on them – completely lightened." Gao pragmatically smiled.

"Huh? How so? ”

Gao pragmatic told Liang Menglong about the separation of war, agriculture, and craftsmen, and then introduced him to the Praetorian Guard.

Liang Menglong listened, and said with some hesitation: "But in this way, the Beijing camp really only has 60,000 soldiers, if you know ...... outside."

Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "Separate and separate, nominally they still control hundreds of thousands of military households, since these people are still military households, then theoretically speaking, as long as they need to fight, they still have to put down their hoes and pick up their guns, and they don't dare to think about it outside." ”

Liang Menglong thought about it for a while, and felt that it was the same reason, so he said: "This idea is not impossible, but I think it is better for you to control the recruitment of displaced people." It's not me gossiping behind my back, these nobles...... I'm afraid I don't know how to choose the source of soldiers. ”

Gao Shishi laughed and said, "Say let them be responsible, in fact, where will they understand this?" The student understood this in his heart, so the student chose a person who was the best at selecting soldiers in the world to do this, but the other person had not yet arrived, so he said this first. ”

"Who is this person?" Liang Menglong had some guesses in his heart, but he still felt relieved to ask.

"It's Qi Jiguang." Gao pragmatic smiled: "He is also the first commander of the Praetorian Guard selected by the students. ”

"I think so." Liang Menglong smiled, and suddenly hesitated: "But to be truthful, one person controls 60,000 Praetorian Guards, is the emperor really relieved about this matter?" ”

Gao pragmatic said: "First, the term of office of the commander of the Praetorian Guard is limited, and second, ...... The students didn't say that the emperor would release the eunuchs in the Praetorian Guard. ”

In fact, in theory, Gao Pragmatic is very disgusted with the eunuchs of the prison army, but no matter how disgusted he is, it is useless, the system and tradition of the Ming Dynasty are here, and there is no eunuch in the 60,000 Praetorian Guards, even if the emperor is Zhu Yijun, a high pragmatic old classmate, he can't bear it - I'm afraid!

Not to mention anything else, the Tang Dynasty's Shence Army is the same as abolishing the Son of Heaven and playing around, this thing can be joked?

Therefore, the current planned Praetorian Guard Army is actually still a "separation of powers": the military commander is Qi Jiguang, the commander in preparation, the direct manager of the civil affairs is Gao Shishi, the assistant Jingying Rongzheng, and the representative of the imperial power is the eunuch who supervises the army.

However, last night, Gao Pragmatic and Zhu Yijun had an exchange on the scope of responsibilities of the eunuchs in the army, and Gao pragmatic firmly said that the eunuchs in the army could not be involved in military affairs in peacetime, and he had only one task, which was to supervise the senior generals of the Praetorian Guard, including Qi Jiguang.

It's hard to say what Zhu Yijun really thought, but at least he agreed at the time, just saying that the specific division of responsibilities required Gao Pragmatic to write detailed details for him to see.

When Liang Menglong heard that the emperor basically agreed, he was also relieved, thought about it again, and said: "If this is the case, it is also the best of both worlds." Qi Jiguang has left Jizhen, Shen Yaoquan should be more confident...... But if Qi Jiguang is gone, what will Jizhen do? ”

Gao pragmatic hesitated for a moment and said: "Actually, there are two candidates in the hearts of the students, but they are still a little hesitant about who to choose." And the students guessed that neither of these two candidates might meet the criteria of the Great Sima. ”

Liang Menglong laughed: "How did you say this, do you know what kind of standard I have for the general soldiers of Jizhen?" ”

Gao pragmatically said: "Not only to make great achievements, but also to be old, these two can't run, right?" ”

Liang Menglong's smile froze, and he hesitated: "What, is the person you want to recommend have no combat merits, or is he not serious enough?" ”

Gao pragmatic said: "I can also get my hands on the merits, and this is the weight...... It depends on how Da Sima thinks about it, if you look at it from the age alone, I'm afraid it doesn't fit well. ”

Liang Menglong's heart moved, and said, "So, are they two young generals?" He paused for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, you talk about it first, I'll listen to it." ”

Gao pragmatic said: "One is Ma Gui, and the other is Liu Ling." ”

Liang Menglong was suddenly stunned, but he didn't speak immediately, but thought for a while before saying: "Ma Gui has a lot of contributions in the Battle of Monan, and Liu Wei has also made great contributions in this Battle of Burma, in terms of ability, they should also be able to do it." ”

"But ...... "I'm afraid of everything" but", and sure enough, Gao Shishi heard Liang Menglong continue: "The qualifications of the two of them are really not enough, and they suddenly became the chief soldier of Jizhen, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public." In my opinion, if you really want to use them, it's not impossible, but at the beginning, it's best to only be the deputy general soldier of Jizhen, not to the general soldier, it is easy to pull out the seedlings to help them grow. ”

Liang Menglong's words are very confessional - he can give it to the deputy chief soldier, but the chief soldier still has to find a veteran, otherwise even if he agrees, I am afraid that the Gong Gong Zhugong of the Beijing Division will not be at ease.

This Jizhen is the number one gateway to the capital division, what if it is guarded by an unreliable "little child", and the Mongols are put in one day? Who is responsible?

However, if Ma Gui and Liu Wei are not good, Gao Pragmatic will not be recommended for a while, Deng Zilong is much older than them, but Liang Menglong just clearly mentioned the item of "qualifications", and this Deng Zilong does not meet it, because his career is not going well, if Gao Pragmatic does not give him a chance this time, he will not be promoted.

Gao pragmatic thought about it, but he didn't expect a particularly good candidate, so he asked Liang Menglong: "Then the candidate for the chief soldier still has to be decided by Da Sima, and the students have no one to recommend for a while." ”

Liang Menglong hadn't thought about this matter before, and when Gao Pragmatic said this, he also fell into thought.

After a long while, he said, "Do you know that Yang Siwei is this person?" ”

Knowing that he must know, Gao pragmatic nodded and said, "This person is the chief soldier of Changping." ”

Liang Menglong asked, "What do you think of him?" ”

Gao was a little surprised, frowned slightly, and said, "He...... It's from Liaoyang, right? ”

Liang Menglong laughed: "It's good to be from Liaoyang, but it sounds like he misunderstands him a little - do you think he and Li Chengliang are all the way?" ”

Gao was a little surprised: "It turned out that it wasn't?" ”

"Of course not." Liang Menglong shook his head and said: "Don't think that as long as you are a general in Liaodong, you are all from Li Chengliang's faction, you must know that Li Chengliang's rise is not too early." In fact, Li Chengliang took over as the commander of Liaodong in the fourth year of Longqing because of the death of the former Liaodong General Army, and Yang Siwei had already served as the Changping General Army in the second year of Longqing - to be exact, it was precisely because Yang Siwei was transferred to Changping that the position of the deputy general of Liaodong at that time was vacated for Li Chengliang. ”

Oh, it turns out that he is still Li Chengliang's "senior". Now Gao Pragmatic understands that Yang Siwei is obviously unlikely to be all the way with Li Chengliang, because his qualifications are older than Li Chengliang.

"How long does this man have to live this year?" Gao asked pragmatically.

Liang Menglong had been the governor of Jiliao before, and Changping was his jurisdiction, so of course he knew the age of Yang Siwei, the general soldier of Changping, and replied: "Fifty-three or fifty-four, the age is still appropriate." ”

That's right, it's quite appropriate to be handsome at this age - it sounds much more reliable than Ma Gui, who is just in his early thirties, and Liu Wei, who is only twenty-five or sixteen years old.

However, Gao Pragmatic was still not very familiar with Yang Siwei, so it was not easy to agree directly, but he asked Liang Menglong about the past of this duke, and Liang Menglong knew everything and introduced him to him.

Yang Siwei is a respectful person, alias Zhi'an, originally from Tongcheng, Anqing. Because the ancestor was transferred north to Liaodong with the expedition to serve as the commander, he became a native of Liaoyang. His father, Yang Yingqi, was stationed in Ningyuan, Kaiyuan and other places, and was promoted from general to general, and he was also quite famous in the local area.

As early as the thirty-second year of Jiajing, Yang Siwei "led the township test, the Guichou middle school meeting test (here refers to the martial arts), and awarded the Liaoyang Weishu to pacify". Soon after taking office, he felt that although he was outstanding in martial arts, he lacked military theory and cultural quality, and he was afraid that he would not be able to become a great weapon in the future, so he gave up his official position for five years, immersed himself in study, and greatly increased his knowledge.

In the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing, it happened to encounter a great hunger in Liaodong, and it was almost easy to eat. Yang Siwei then went up to the "four strategies to save the famine", and his relief and treatment of thieves were all called lawful, and the locals respected him very much. So it didn't take long for him to return to his post and serve as the garrison of Shanhaiguan.

In the forty-first year of Jiajing, Ge Jinzuo, the left attendant of the military department at that time, asked the imperial court to increase the Ningqian military preparation road, and transferred Yang Siwei to serve as the guerrilla general of Ningyuan. After taking office, in the face of the vast land of Ningyuan and the threat of the Mongolian iron cavalry, he rose up to start a business, started from scratch, begged for salaries and recruited soldiers, trained them, learned to ride and shoot, opened up fields, built camps, and soon built a brave and warlike army - of course, this refers to his family - laid a solid foundation for his later achievements.

In just a few months after Yang Siwei entered Ningyuan, tens of thousands of Mongol troops invaded Shaheyi, Ruichang, Heizhuang and other places in Ningyuan three times. And he only led more than 1,000 people (Jiading) to charge into battle, winning by surprise, and repeatedly destroying the captives.

According to Liang Menglong, Yang Siwei was hit by sixteen arrows in a battle at that time, but he still ordered the soldiers to "only look at the head of his horse" and bravely chased and killed the enemy, and since then he has been famous for his ability to conquer and fight.

In the forty-third year of Jiajing, Yang Siwei was appointed as the general soldier of Liaodong at any time, Tong Deng, who broke Dongyi, that is, the Jurchen, and then promoted to the general of Kaiyuan, commanding a total of 19 castles of 30,000 guards, Liaohaiwei, and Tielingwei - this happened to be Li Chengliang's hometown. During this period, he also defeated the invading Mongolian army twice, and changed to the former general of Ma Lanyu.

In the forty-fifth year of Jiajing, Yang Siwei was promoted to deputy commander-in-chief of Liaoyang. In the first year of Longqing, the Mongol army once again invaded Ningyuan. Yang Siwei followed the general soldier Wang Zhidao deep behind the enemy, counterattacked, broke the enemy's formation, beheaded more than 100 levels, and obtained countless horses and equipment. Then, the Mongol army invaded Liaoyang several times, and he led Li Chengliang, the then Kaiyuan general, to fight together and defeat the invading enemy at Hupiyi.

This is the origin of Liang Menglong's saying that Yang Siwei is Li Chengliang's old boss.

The following year, Yang Siwei was transferred from Liaoyang Deputy General Soldier to Changping Town General Soldier. Since then, he and Qi Jiguang have been "linked". From Juyong Pass to Shanhaiguan 1,200 miles of frontier defense land, set up water pass, create four cities, build 199 piers, so that the Ming army has both war and defense, solid as gold. The year before last, that is, in the ninth year of Wanli, Yang Siwei entered the right governor, and especially entered the Ronglu doctor, and the official was a good product.

Liang Menglong's words made Gao Shishi not only know that he was Li Chengliang's former boss, but also learned an important information: he and Qi Jiguang have also cooperated for many years, and they are responsible for the east and west of the same line of defense - Qi Jiguang is in the east and Yang Siwei is in the west. Qi Jiguang didn't go wrong, and neither did he Yang Siwei.

Gao Shishi was secretly surprised, and said in his heart: The generals promoted by the Long Qing Dynasty are very powerful, I am not very familiar with this Yang Siwei, and I didn't care too much about him when I was in politics, but I didn't think that he was really a talent.

But after thinking about it, the third uncle has always been strict in employing people, and it was he who established the personnel file, if Yang Siwei did not have the ability to work hard and have a good record, how could the third uncle put him in the position of the general army of Changping? You must know that this Changping General Soldier is just guarding the Imperial Mausoleum! Although this position does not bring as many soldiers and horses as Jizhen and Xuanfu on the east and west sides of him, the importance is not low at all.

Gao Pragmatic finally laughed: "It's still Da Sima who is familiar with border affairs, so it seems that Yang Siwei is indeed the best candidate, and the students fully agree with this." ”
