Yu Youding walked quickly to the door of Shen Shixing's duty room, then stopped, calmed down his breath first, tidied up his clothes again, and then knocked lightly on the door and said, "Can you do it?" ”

Shen Shixing's voice came from the room: "Brother Bingzhong is here?" Come in. ”

Yu Youding smiled and pushed the door in, where Shen Shixing had already gotten up from the Taishi chair behind the bookcase and was coming to Yu Youding.

Seeing that it was Yu Youding, Shen Shixing hurriedly said: "Brother Bingzhong, you are not in good health, why do you work so hard?" If you tell me something, send someone to tell me, and I will go to see you, why did I come in person? ”

Yu Youding said with a smile: "The left and right cabinets are not a big place, just a few steps, why not walk?" Ru Mo, although you and I are the same year, and I am nine years older than you, but now that you are in the same place, there should be decent rules and regulations. ”

Shen Shixing really didn't have a fight in front of Yu Youding, the young brother, and when he heard his words, he just nodded yes, and hurriedly asked Yu Youding to sit down and talk.

The two of them were not only the same year, but also good friends, so after Yu Youding sat down, he didn't wait for Shen Shixing to ask, so he said directly: "Ning Yuanbo's recital, do you know about it?" ”

"Uncle Ning Yuan?" Shen Shixing thought for a moment and asked, "But about the upcoming army to Gule Village?" ”

Yu Youding hurriedly waved his hand: "It's not that matter, such a trivial matter as sending troops to Gule Village, the governor could have approved it, Shangshu Imperial Court is just Ning Yuanbo is cautious, I think that Gule Village is only a few thousand mouths at most, and the armor can have geometry, won't the court let him send troops?" I'm talking about another piece of his sparse text, which was just sent to the cabinet from the General Administration Department this morning, but the vote from Motosuke's side has already been issued. ”

Shen Shixing didn't ask him how he knew the situation so quickly, but just blinked subconsciously and asked, "What happened to Uncle Ning Yuan?" ”

Yu Youding smiled and said: "The new official of the high military constitution in southern Liaoning took office three times, and less than ten days after he took office, he locked up and took the Fuzhou Wei commander Li Rugui - the second son is the son of Li Chengcai, the second brother of Ning Yuanbo. ”

Shen Shixing's eyes widened: "Really? ”

"Seriously, seriously." Yu Youding said with a smile: "Uncle Ning Yuan is here to ask for sin." ”

"Oh? Do you want to ...... guilt" Shen Shixing rolled his eyes: "Does he admit defeat, or does he advance by retreating?" ”

Yu Youding said with a smile: "Anyway, he said that he wanted to resign from the title of Earl of Ning Yuan, and he also asked the emperor to dismiss the children of the Li family." ”

"Hehe, that's true." Shen Shixing sneered: "Li Chengliang has been too smooth in Liaodong all these years, he thought that the imperial court really felt that Liaodong was missing him Li Butcher, and he would eat hairy pigs." ”

Yu Youding smiled: "After all, the Li family has 40,000 followers, which is why he dares to do this." ”

Shen Shixing shook his head and waved his hand: "I'm not good at war, but in the past, Gaoxin Zheng said a word in the cabinet when he opened Hong Kong, and I have deeply experienced it over the years." ”

Gao Xin Zheng naturally refers to high arches rather than high pragmatism, and Yu Youding was a little surprised when he heard this. After all, although Gao Gong is already a "Wen Zhenggong", generally speaking, it is not easy to slander, but for himself and Shen Shixing, even if he does not say political enemies, at least he is a "dissident", Shen Shixing actually said that he has a deep understanding of Gao Gong's words?

Shen Shixing saw Yu Youding's doubts, sighed lightly, and said: "The Shixue faction, those I disagree with, mainly because I think they put the cart before the horse...... That's it, let's not mention that. Gao Xin Zheng said in the past that he opened the sea to manage money for the country, and to manage money for the country was to enrich the country and strengthen the army.

At that time, he once said that the reason why the border army was weaker than another year was precisely because the border army's military salaries were insufficient, so that the equipment was outdated and the rewards were unfavorable. If you have enough money, you will naturally have warriors and be able to fight effectively. ”

Yu Youding frowned and said: "This is the lack of people's hearts!" If you seek courage with money, you will be brave, but if you are exhausted, you will be scattered, which is not enough. ”

Shen Shixing smiled bitterly: "I thought the same way, but ...... Looking back, Qi Jiguang trained the troops, but he was able to suppress the bullets, and the military discipline was known as the strictest, but the military salary he gave was far better than that of other armies; Li Chengliang used the entire Liaodong to support his 40,000 followers, so he had 'unparalleled achievements in two hundred years of border marshals'...... What should this be said? Moreover, Gao Xinzheng means that since there is enough money, there will be brave men, and the court will want to make money. ”

Yu Youding shook his head: "I just said that people's hearts are insufficient, giving ten taels this year can make them work hard, next year it may be eleven taels, and the year after next year it may be twelve taels, when is it a head?" ”

"That's why I have to give money while playing pressure, there must be a degree in this." Shen Shixing said, waving his hand: "Okay, okay, Brother Bingzhong, what I just said was just an introduction, not to say that I completely agree with what he meant...... I want to say that Li Chengliang used his 40,000 followers as bargaining chips, and this matter may not be as easy as he thought. ”

"Oh?" Yu Youding frowned and said, "Why?" ”

Shen Shixing sighed and said: "Although I don't know much about his methods, there must be nothing more than a few: deducting the military salary of the guard, forging the account books of the guard, reselling the materials of the guard, or even some smuggling and other activities. ”

Yu Youding's face was a little ugly, and he said: "This is all a chronic disease in various places, and Li Chengliang is the best among them." ”

Shen Shixing shook his head: "The best is probably right, but I always feel that he has other means, otherwise, why does he have more followers than anyone else?" That's not the point I'm going to make, though. ”

"So, what do you mean, Rumo?" Yu Youding asked.

Shen Shixing lightly tapped on the handrail and said slowly: "Since you can raise elite soldiers with money, then...... Gao Qiu is really rich in the world, how many soldiers can he raise? ”

Yu Youding was stunned when he heard this, and his face changed, but in the end he said: "But he is a civil official." ”

"He's a civil official." Shen Shixing nodded, but shook his head and said: "But he is not in the center now, he is not even a patrol, he is not a politician, he is a soldier, and he is one of the nine border guards!" There are often families in the governors and soldiers of the nine sides, and even where there are prefects and counties in various parts of the nine sides, among those prefects and counties, there are some people who support their families, and the imperial court does not restrict this, you say that if Gao Qiuzhen transfers his Jinghua trading company's escort merchant rider to Liaodong, what will happen? ”

Yu Youding's face changed again, and he asked, "How many of these horsemen are there in Jinghua Trading Company?" ”

"How do I know?" Shen Shixing spread his hands: "However, the trade route of Jinghua Trading Company went west from Shanhaiguan to Gansu a few years ago, and later I heard that it was developing in Qinghai and Sichuan, and after Gao Qiuzhen went to Guangxi, even Yunnan and Guangxi had their people...... I guess at least 10,000 or 20,000 is indispensable. ”

Shen Shixing originally wanted to explain the strength of Jinghua Trading Company, but who knew that after he said this, Yu Youding smiled instead: "In this way, it's okay." He is too open, so many places, how many trade routes have to be opened? I'm afraid a dozen is not enough, not to mention 20,000 of his riders of Jinghua Trading Company, even if 40,000 is divided into many small shares, and he can't draw much at all......"

When he said this, he thought for a moment and asked, "In the last battle of Monan, it seems that he only mobilized 3,000 horsemen, right?" ”

Shen Shixing added: "At first, I heard that it was three thousand, but then it seemed that a little more was mobilized, and in the end there were about four thousand, right?" ”

"Look, isn't that right?" Yu Youding said: "For such an important war as the Monan War, Gao Qiuzhen is personally out of the fortress, and he is in danger, if he can mobilize more family members, will he not be adjusted?" If it is not adjusted, doesn't it mean that these 4,000-person horsemen are the limit of his scheduling? ”

Yu Ge Lao waved his hand and said: "Four thousand horsemen, it is naturally not weak to say that it is weak, but to say that these four thousand horsemen can replace Li Chengliang's forty thousand followers and become the mainstay of Liaodong, Yu categorically does not believe it." ”
