In the Ming Dynasty, Juren already had a very high status. They are at the top of society and can easily have a lot of wealth. As long as you get mixed up with the status of a lifter, there will definitely be no poor people. The story of Fan Jinzhongju is definitely not fictional. Juren already has the qualifications to be an official, and he can become a veritable high-ranking official. Even if he does not have any official position, the common people have to call him the master.

Yuan Chonghuan's current identity is to lift people, and most people should be called the master of lifting people. It's just that Xu Xingxia, who came from later generations, is not very interested in these hierarchical concepts. If he wants to call Yuan Chonghuan a master, it is absolutely impossible. I didn't ask you to come to my territory to be an uncle, you came by yourself, and I don't welcome you here.

Of course, strictly theoretical, Xu Xingxia does not need to take the initiative to salute. He is a hundred households, and he is the military attache of the sixth grade. Although the military attache grade in this year is not valuable, and the military attachés of the third and fourth grades are overflowing, the grades are there after all. Even if he is a magistrate, he is only a seventh-grade official, which is lower than Xu Xingxia. If Xu Xingxia is really strong, the magistrate can only bow down. Even if you have status, you are still white.

Yuan Chonghuan was born as a literati, and he obviously didn't care too much about military generals. Influenced by the social atmosphere, he has absolutely no respect for military generals. In the subconscious of civil officials, military generals are the source of trouble. The Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Five Dynasties and the Ten Kingdoms were all born out of the dictatorship of military generals. After Xu Xingxia saluted, he didn't even return the salute, just smiled slightly, and said with a flat expression: "Oh, it turns out that you are Xu Xingxia." ”

In the eyes of a lifter, a small guard house with 100 households is simply like an ant. Even if this Xu Baihu has some outstanding features, he still can't get on the stage. If it weren't for the person who recommended him to come here, with a special identity, Yuan Chonghuan wouldn't even be able to remember Xu Xingxia's name. It is indeed a bit difficult to ask the master to remember the name of a hundred households.

For Yuan Chonghuan's coldness, Xu Xingxia didn't feel anything. This is the atmosphere of this society, which cannot be changed for the time being, emphasizing literature over military force, and using literature to control military force. Don't say that you are a hundred households, even a thousand households and Wei Commander envoys appear here, and Yuan Chonghuan is estimated to be like this. This is not Yuan Chonghuan's fault, but the fault of the whole society. You and Yuan Chonghuan are calculating, it's not interesting. If you have the ability, you will turn the overall atmosphere of this society around.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the status of literati was also very low. At that time, it was completely the world of military generals. If time is reversed, the two are in the period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and it is estimated that Xu Xingxia will also be a cold bylooker to Yuan Chonghuan. What is a scholar who has no power to grasp chickens to do? Even if it is slaughtered, there are not a few catties of meat.

Xu Xingxia asked casually, "How did Yuan Gongzi come to Ningxia Town?" ”

Yuan Chonghuan said flatly: "I heard people say that the war here is continuous, and there are Tartar invasions from time to time, which causes the people to be miserable, and the soldiers are in trouble, so I came here to find out." I happened to meet Miss Azhu on the way, and she pointed me to Weizhen Fort, saying that there was a Xu Xingxia Baihu here, who was brilliant in archery, and had many battles with the Tartars, and the results were very fruitful. If you can get Xu Baihu's guidance, you will benefit from it endlessly. ”

Xu Xingxia was very familiar with Zhu Zhizhi's sycophant, and his mood was unusually happy, so he invited Yuan Chonghuan to sit down in the pavilion, and said with a smile: "Miss Azhu has won the award, and it is just a gesture of effort, a gesture of effort." By the way, Yuan Gongzi, your ancestral home is Dongguan, Guangdong, and later moved to Tengxian County, Wuzhou, Guangxi? ”

Yuan Chonghuan was slightly surprised, and subconsciously said, "Xu Baihu, did we know each other before?" ”

Xu Xingxia shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Yuan Chonghuan said very strangely: "That...... Why does Xu Baihu know that I ......?"

Xu Xingxia smiled slightly, and said mysteriously: "I'm sorry, Yuan Gongzi, the secret of heaven must not be revealed!" ”

Yuan Chonghuan felt more and more strange. When he met Zhu Zhizhi, he didn't say where his hometown was. He just said that he was a lifter, liked side affairs, and wanted to go to the border pass, so Zhu Zhizhi pointed him to Weizhenbao. Therefore, even Zhu Zhizhi did not know his specific situation. However, how can this Xu Xingxia know? Could it be that this guy really has some special skills? Can you predict the prophet?

Seriously, at the beginning, Yuan Chonghuan didn't believe Zhu Zhizhi's words at all. What big can a small hundred households of the Guards' Army do? The situation of the Wei Army, Yuan Chonghuan is not unclear. It's just a bunch of waste raised by the state. If it weren't for the fear that they would rise up and make trouble, they would have all been disbanded a long time ago. He has great ambitions, and what he hates most is that the Weisuo Army wastes money and food and does nothing. In his opinion, if the Ming Dynasty wants to revitalize, it must abandon the original guard system and reorganize the new army in order to have a way out.

But the Xu Xingxia in front of him is a bit weird. He questioned a lot of people at Fort Willytown, and the news he got was that this guy had indeed killed a lot of Tartars. Now, there are still many Tartar heads that have not yet been exchanged for war exploits. Judging by Yuan Chonghuan's wisdom, the military households should not be lying. That's why he stayed at Fort Weizhen, and by the way, he instructed Dongzi on his studies. His fundamental purpose is actually to understand Xu Xingxia. As a result, when I saw it today, there were really some doorways. Perhaps, this guy is not an ordinary guard army.

Xu Xingxia was secretly proud in his heart, knowing that Yuan Chonghuan was puzzled, he just wanted to sell Guan Zi and refused to tell him. Hmph, that's the benefit of being a traverser. I know your situation, but you don't know my situation. The asymmetry of information is often one of the important factors in the hierarchy of power. Just reveal some random information and it will scare you. I have to say that it is also very pleasant to be able to bluff historical celebrities.

In fact, Xu Xingxia did not have any ill feelings towards Yuan Chonghuan. Although the controversy against him in later generations was very great, Yuan Fan and Yuan Hei quarreled inseparably, and the situation of going to the two extremes became more and more serious, however, one thing cannot be denied, Yuan Chonghuan did have merit in fighting against wild boar skin tartars. Perhaps, he has a lot of faults, perhaps, he is indeed a little selfish, but in that chaotic period at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he was able to stand up and govern Liaodong, which was originally a great act. Jin is not bare and no one is perfect, Yuan Chonghuan's advantages and disadvantages coexist, this is a normal person.

What Xu Xingxia hates most are those guys who don't dare to go to the front line, and after others go to the front line, they point fingers and fingers behind them. That's right, he is talking about those officials of the Ming Dynasty. The speech officials at the end of the Ming Dynasty have all changed their taste and have become pure tools for party struggle. If Xu Xingxia is in power, the first thing is to dissolve all the Metropolitan Procuratorate and everything, so as not to let a swarm of flies buzz there all day long.

At this time, Fuyuko had already packed up her things and said goodbye and left. In the pavilion, only Xu Xingxia and Yuan Chonghuan remained. Yuan Chonghuan said slowly: "Brother Ling is very smart, but unfortunately he is a little older, and he is a little deficient in terms of understanding the surname. However, as long as you get the guidance of a famous teacher, there is no problem in trying to enter the department in the back township. ”

Xu Xingxia said: "I was originally going to send him to Xiguozi to study. ”

Yuan Chonghuan rolled his eyes and said disdainfully: "Xiguo Zijian, what a big breath!" I'm not afraid of the wind flashing my tongue! ”

Xu Xingxia was secretly funny in his heart. This Yuan Chonghuan is really a little open-mouthed. Xiguo Zijian is the school of King Qing's mansion, don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, how can you say that it is the industry of King Qing? He belittled the other party so casually, if King Qing knew, maybe he would embarrass him. King Qing is probably not a broad-minded person. However, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty have never looked down on the vassal kings, and it is normal for them to be sarcastic.

It's just that Yuan Chonghuan's last sentence clearly revealed that he was a bit of a hooligan. How so? Most of the readers are hard readers and rarely come out and walk around. They are very dull in their dealings with people and things. Otherwise, the title of nerd will not fall on their heads. seems to be like Yuan Chonghuan, who runs around and likes to go to the side, which shows that he is still relatively strong in his bones and is not afraid of things.

The words of the wind flashed his tongue were obviously mantras such as bandits and thieves, and he also learned them. also learned and used it lively, and put it directly on King Qing's head. Presumably he did not think of the consequences of this sentence. With a surname like his, it is not impossible to chop Mao Wenlong with a knife regardless of the future. There is a saying in later generations, the surname determines fate, this Yuan Chonghuan, there are indeed some flaws in the surname!

Of course, Jin is not enough, no one is perfect, and a surname like Yuan Chonghuan cannot be said to be completely wrong. If he hadn't had a hard surname, it was estimated that he wouldn't be able to suppress those arrogant generals in Liaodong. Everyone knows that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the civil and military forces were unbalanced, and the situation was very serious. The antagonism between the civil and military forces is also quite serious. Replaced by ordinary civil officials, who dares to kill Mao Wenlong directly? But he Yuan Chonghuan dared!

In Liaodong at that time, the literati always tried to contain the military generals in order to show their authority. Military generals are also always looking for ways to make some trouble for their superiors to show their existence. As the superintendent, Yuan Chonghuan, if he didn't have a little means, he really couldn't suppress the people below. Do you think that Wu Sangui, Huang Degong, Cao Wenzhao, Zuo Liangyu, and Ai Wannian, these chief military officers, are all easy to deal with! A few bones are gone, and they're going to eat them!

Shaking his head gently, Xu Xingxia smiled slightly, staggered the topic and said, "I don't know how long Yuan Gongzi is going to stay here?" The situation outside, not very good, with a large number of Tartars coming. Fort Willtown is not estimated to be very safe. Yuan Gongzi had better go to Ningxia City to take refuge. ”

Yuan Chonghuan glared at him and said coldly: "Xu Baihu doesn't think that Yuan is greedy for life and afraid of death? Please also rest assured that Xu Baihu is coming, and I, Yuan someone, will never take half a step back! If Xu Baihu is afraid, he might as well go to Ningxia City to take refuge! ”

Xu Xingxia secretly said in his heart, this surnamed Yuan has a bad temper, I just said casually, I just care about you, and I don't despise you, what are you doing so sensitive? Paralyzed, if you anger Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will beat you up first! He laughed and said, "Not really. It's just that, Yuan Gongzi, you are a literati, and you have no power to catch chickens, in case you are caught by the Tartars, you can't survive, you can't die, it's troublesome! ”

This is deliberately which pot is not opened and which pot is mentioned. Aren't you trying to irritate me? I'll stimulate you too! Yuan Chonghuan, who was forced by your mother, thought it was great if she wasn't afraid of death? If it falls into the hands of the Tartars, or in the hands of Lao Tzu, it can make you a hundred times more painful than death! I care about you and love you, you know? Don't bite Lu Dongbin, you don't know the hearts of good people! In the future, all the people of Yanjing City will gnaw your meat!

Since you have come to my land, you must listen to me! No matter how much ability you have in the future, how big an official you can get, now, you are on Lao Tzu's territory, you have to coil if you are a dragon, and you have to squat if you are a tiger! If you make Lao Tzu unhappy, Lao Tzu will click you with a knife, and then push it on the head of the tartar, and no one can take Lao Tzu.

"Huh? What am I doing with such a big anger? Xu Xingxia suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly. It's really strange, why should I have trouble with Yuan Chonghuan? No matter what he does in the future, what merits he has, and what mistakes he has, now he is just a lifter, and he has not yet been promoted to the Jinshi. His career has not yet begun. None of the merits and crimes have anything to do with him. Now he is just an angry young man.

"Kidnapping him?" Suddenly, from Xu Xingxia's mind, another absurd thought jumped out. He had successfully abducted the little county lord last time and tasted the benefits of human trafficking, but now when he saw Yuan Chonghuan, he couldn't help but think about trafficking. Now Yuan Chonghuan has not yet entered the Jinshi, and his career has not yet started, it is a potential stock!

In good conscience, Yuan Chonghuan still has some skills. Unlike ordinary civil officials, he has the guts, the means, and some flexibility. In terms of military command, it cannot be said that it is too bad. His biggest flaw is probably that he likes to talk about it and is eager for quick success, if he is reminded of his surname, maybe he will not end up being Ling Chi.

In addition, going a little further, Yuan Chonghuan's tragedy also has a lot to do with Emperor Chongzhen. Only an emperor like Chongzhen would believe Yuan Chonghuan's words. Only an emperor who has no brains, an emperor who has no ability to read and analyze, will be deceived by Yuan Chonghuan. If he was Emperor Chongzhen, listening to Yuan Chonghuan talking nonsense like this, he would definitely give him a kick on the spot, kick him out of the noon gate directly, and never use it.
