Chapter 331: Running Liaodong
Ye Jinquan's eyes widened, staring at Qin Kan as if he didn't know, his expression was very shocked, and he seemed to be still digesting Qin Kan's words.
It is understandable that Liaodong is the Ming Dynasty, how could Liaodong be his Qin Kan's?
Saying this to others is undoubtedly rebellious and heartbreaking, Ye Jinquan was confused, and he didn't know how to react for a while.
Qin Kan smiled and said: "I don't mean anything else, now Your Majesty is like a brother to me, I won't have thoughts that I shouldn't have, but the border town has been heavy, and the government and army in every place in the Ming Dynasty have all kinds of intertwined interests and interests, and the border towns are no exception. ”
Ye Jinquan seemed to understand what Qin Kan meant.
"I have always thought that the border army has been defeated repeatedly against the Tartars, in fact, it is not lost in combat strength, in fact, our Ming weapons are advanced, the city is strong, and the soldiers are wide, compared to the Tartars, we have an advantage, but why are we defeated again and again? Because the military system of the Ming Dynasty is broken, it gradually rots from the root, so the generals are greedy for money, the sergeants are greedy for life and fear death, people are always conformist, as long as one person takes the lead in not doing it, other people will not do it, so, the rectification of the border town has been an urgent task of the Ming Dynasty, I hope to see a government rule Qingming, the soldiers use their lives in the border town of Liaodong, it takes courage, wisdom, time, and sometimes even bloodshed and killing, a few years. Ten years or decades, no matter how long it takes, Uncle Shi, I hope you can help me do it. ”
He had never told anyone about these true thoughts in his heart, but when he said it in one breath today, Qin Kan couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed in his heart.
Ye Jinquan gradually moved, he had been quietly listening to Qin Kan's story, and was silent for a long time before he said: "I'm just a martial artist, and your ambitions are entrusted to me." I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you......"
Qin Kan said with a smile: "Uncle Shi is arrogant. You are not a simple vulgar martial artist, you have read books, you have led soldiers, and you know the art of war. All you lack is an opportunity. I'm willing to give you this opportunity. How to purge Liaodong. On the government side, I will ask for the transfer of Liu Pinggui, the prefect of Yizhou, to the governor of Liaodong, Liu Pinggui seems to be cowardly. But he also has some ambition in his chest, he has experience in governing the people, you have experience in leading troops, you work with him, he governs the place, you clean up the army, the two complement each other, while the court has not had time to send a new eunuch and a supervisor of the army, you will clean up the six guards of Liaodong vigorously......"
Qin Kan's smile gradually turned cold: "Breaking the old rules will inevitably encounter a lot of resistance, I have not returned the confiscated weapons to the 30,000 troops in Liaodong so far, this is the reason, today Li Gao is a good time, among the six guards, those who should be dismissed, those who should be transferred, and those who should be investigated, you can rest assured that you can do it, if you encounter obstruction, you might as well kill it." ”

Another letter galloped towards the Jingshi.
Qin Kan stated the current state of erosion in Liaodong, as well as the temporary appointment of Wei Yang, the former commander of the Shenyang Guard, as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, and the request of Liu Pinggui, the former governor of Yizhou, to be promoted to the governor of Liaodong, followed by a long list of appointed generals and officials.
Zhu Houzhao's holy decree was very clear, and ordered Qin Kan to temporarily act as the governor of Liaodong, and the governor naturally had the right to directly intervene and appoint the current chaotic officialdom and Wei of Liaodong, and passed it to Beijing, Zhu Houzhao was still quite concerned about Qin Kan's affairs, and immediately called the cabinet Jiao Fang, Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe discussed with the three of them, and then took it to the early court to discuss with the ministers.
Originally, the list drawn up by Qin Kan was carefully considered, and the list in it was basically the original middle and low-level officials and generals in Liaodong, and there was no suspicion of cronyism, as for the only one in it, Ye Jinquan, the deputy chief soldier of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, was not at all conspicuous in the list of many transfers and promotions, and was quickly ignored by the ministers.
The other 500 young soldiers also left 100 to follow Ye Jinquan in Liaodong, these 100 young soldiers will learn to read and write, read through the art of war, and every day according to the new drill methods left by Qin Kan for daily training, a year later, they will be scattered to various guards in Liaodong to serve as the lowest-level small banner, general flag and other petty officers.
Li Gao and many convicts were robbed of nearly one million taels of silver in their mansions, all of which were secretly honored by merchants who had been in the business of furs, firearms and even pig iron with Tartars over the years, and Qin Kan secretly withheld 500,000 taels of silver, and used the money to build an ordnance bureau in Liaoyang City, and recruited a group of experienced craftsmen to specialize in the development of muskets and artillery.
Something too complicated could not be made, and Qin Kan was not a skilled talent, so he could only draw a few grenades, mines, and the correct ratio and method of black powder according to the vague memory of his previous life, and ordered the craftsmen to develop them and achieve mass production.
With these things, no matter what kind of enemy you face in the future, it will be a weapon of mass destruction that will be remembered by the enemy for a lifetime.
…………
…………
At the same time that Ye Jinquan was ordered by Qin Kan to carry out a drastic reorganization of the Liaodong Border Army, the new Liaodong Metropolitan Wei Yang was summoned by Qin Kan into the Dusi Mansion.
I don't know what Qin Kan said to Wei Yang, everyone saw Wei Yang walk in in high spirits, and walked out with a dejected look of being devastated, and his colleagues and subordinates came to ask him and just sighed, without saying a word, and his mood was extremely low.
At the same time, Ye Jinquan began to inspect the prisoner of war camp outside Liaoyang City, saying that it was a prisoner of war, but in fact, it was only tens of thousands of people who were deceived by Li Gao, and later surrendered to the Liaodong border army of the imperial court.
The prisoner of war camp stretched for more than ten miles, with no end in sight, the soldiers with weapons in their hands patrolled back and forth, and the soldiers of the eastern Liaodong border army, who had no weapons, hid in their tents in panic, speculating about their future fate.
Ye Jinquan, who was covered in clothes, entered the prisoner of war camp at this sensitive period and began to clean up the Liaodong border army.
The generals were concentrated in one pile, and the sergeants were concentrated in the other pile, and while the generals were promoted, dismissed, and transferred, the ordinary sergeants of the Liaodong Border Army were also scattered and mixed by the captains brought by Ye Jinquan, and they were reassigned to the guard post after the last one.
Qin Kan's will was thoroughly implemented in the land of Liaodong.
***************************************************************
"Hey, Han people, when will our Duoyan warriors leave Liaoyang and return to the grassland to graze?"
On the afternoon when the north wind was howling, Tana, dressed in fiery red clothes, rushed into the prefect's yamen like a raging fire.
Several guards surrounded her with embarrassed expressions, wanting to stop but not daring to stop.
Qin Kanleng paused for a moment, waved the guards away, and then said with a wry smile: "Miss Tana, I have a name and a surname, and I am neither called 'Hey' nor 'Han', shall we change the title first?" ”
Tana glared at him and pouted: "Although you are a big official of the Ming Court, you are not a good person. ”
Qin Kan said helplessly: "In a few days, when the Liaodong border army stabilizes, you can go back to the grassland, whether I am a good person or not seems to have nothing to do with you." ”
Tana didn't know where the hostility towards Qin Kan came from, and when she heard this, she glared at him angrily and said: "If you are not a good person, then your oath with Ezhige will be unreliable, who knows if you will turn your face like your Emperor Chengzu after using our Duoyan." ”
Qin Kan's face fell: "Miss Tana, my group of emperors of the Ming Dynasty is majestic and strategic, you should be cautious!" ”
Tana stubbornly held her head high, like a proud little swan: "Am I wrong? ”
Qin Kan stared at her for a long time, but he was helpless with her, and sighed for a long time: "Your father must not have whipped you with a saltwater whip that day, otherwise you wouldn't be so unreminiscent." ”
After a pause, Qin Kan said, "Do you have anything else to do here besides arguing with me?" ”
"Yes."
"Then hurry up, go out and turn right when you're done."
Tana glared at him and said, "Ezhige wants me to marry you......"
Qin Kan said categorically: "I can't resist death." ”
"You said that the fire sieve has seven wives, and he is a scum, a beast, and then I asked you Han officers and soldiers, and you also have two wives at home, and you are also a scum, a beast!"
"Miss Tana, you have to find out, how many wives I have has nothing to do with you, you continue to herd your sheep on the grassland, and I will go back to Beijing to hug the left and right, and there will be no conflict between the two."
Tana stared at him viciously, "Although you saved my life, I will not marry you." ”
Qin Kan sighed helplessly: "I didn't say I wanted you to marry me......"
"The man I'm going to marry Tana must be the strongest and most upright man in the world, you're not."
"Please believe me, I, Qin Kan, will never marry a woman with a history of chasing and killing her husband...... By the way, is the fire sieve dead? ”
Tana shook her head: "It was too dark that night, and I shot an arrow at his back from a distance of thirty paces, which should have been hit, but I don't know if I was dead or not, and then there was no trace of the fire sieve." ”
Qin Kan sighed: "Look at it, even the skill of chasing and killing your husband is so unbearable, and the writing is not enough, and the martial arts are not enough, if my dignified court minister marries a woman like you, you say a word of conscience yourself, will the rest of my life be considered to be smashed in your hands?" ”
