Yang Fan came out of the camp and saw Yuan Chonghuan at a glance.
Yuan Chonghuan is very ugly, the kind of ugliness that makes people feel uncomfortable.
He is very short and skinny. He probably weighs less than 100 pounds.
(This is not made up by the author. In the third year of Chongzhen, that is, after Yuan was executed, Qian Longxi wrote in his self-defense memorial: "When Chonghuan first met with his Majesty, I saw that he was ugly and retired as a fellow official. This time It may be difficult for people to do the job. And Chong Huan returned to Liao Dynasty in five years. ----"Chongzhen Changbian" Chongzhen three years)
Yang Fan felt uncomfortable in his heart, but there was no trace of it on his face. He held his hands respectfully and said, "I've seen you, sir."
Yuan Chonghuan stroked his goatee under his chin and laughed loudly, and said: "I've taken the liberty to come here, so please don't take offense to Brother Yang Xian. Speaking of which, it's your brother who caused Tongzhou City to close down. I have nowhere to eat, so naturally I have to come here to look for him." Your bad luck, hahaha."
"What did you say, your lord? Your lord's visit has made me prosperous and prosperous. I am very welcome and honored. Your lord, please."
"It's so annoying"
Yang Fan accompanied Yuan Chonghuan and others as they walked towards the center of the camp, where the Chinese army was located.
Yang Fan thought to himself that the records in the book were actually true. Judging from his appearance, Mr. Yuan had a quick temper and spoke unscrupulously. It was not a good habit to be a loudmouth in officialdom.
Shi Gui Shu said: Yuan Chonghuan was short and powerful, shaped like a small dog, but had a very violent temperament. We talk arm in arm about world affairs, we are not ashamed to talk, but we dream all day long, and fall into the mist of the curtain, not knowing that it is charming and nightmare.
As Yuan Chonghuan walked, he looked at Yang Fan's soldiers. These soldiers were still sitting on the ground without any reaction. Nothing changed because of the arrival of a big shot. These soldiers didn't even look at him.
The subordinate brought a high chair and Yang Fan asked Yuan Chonghuan to sit down.
Then let the orderly serve a bowl of tea.
Yuan Chonghuan sat down calmly and did not let Yang Fan sit down as well.
Yang Fan looked respectful and stood by the side with his hands folded, silent.
Yuan Chonghuan showed a satisfied look. Yang Fan is a young man with a great reputation, but he seems to be quite submissive.
Children can be taught.
This time he came out again. It was Donglin's internal decision to urge him to come out and gain control of the most combat-effective force in the Ming Dynasty at this time, and control the Guan Ning cavalry.
The reason why Donglin was so badly punished by Jiu Qiansui was because they did not control the military power.
At this time, the most capable army of the Ming Dynasty was the Guan Ning Cavalry. Nearly half of the military expenditure is spent on this army. This time he came out again, determined to win the governor of Jiliao.
If he can serve as the governor of Jiliao, he will not only have military power but also have huge military benefits, which will be of great significance to the re-emergence of the Donglin Party.
If you have soldiers and money, you will definitely be able to regain control of the court. Restore the dominance of the Wanli Dynasty and Taichang Dynasty. The persecution of Tianqi Dynasty brought order to the chaos.
And Yuan Chonghuan returned to Beijing with this mission.
The administrative office of Ji Town is located in Santunying. Although Yuan Chonghuan is not often in Santunying and he is usually in Ningyuan, Santunying is the location of his material base camp. The logistics of the Guanningjin Defense Line are all transported to the armies from here, which is of great significance.
Zunhua is just west of Santun Camp, less than forty miles away.
Yang Fan's garrison of Qianhu was located thirty miles west of Zunhua and less than seventy miles away from Santun camp.
Now that there is such a powerful army near my hometown, I naturally have to watch it carefully.
It's best if you can use it for your own use. If you can't, you should prepare early.
"Brother Yang Xian, what do you think of the current situation in Jizhen?" Yuan Chonghuan took a sip of the fine red robe, nodded with satisfaction, and asked seemingly casually.
"My lord, I am a martial artist who understands military and national affairs. This time I was temporarily recruited to the capital by His Majesty. I am very cautious and walking on thin ice, so I went there bravely."
Yang Fan looked at Yuan Chonghuan's expression and continued: "Fortunately, I didn't mess up any big things. At least I managed to deal with it. After finishing the errands in the capital, I resigned from the Jinyiwei job with His Majesty and reorganized Xinghe Tuanlian. Now that I have regained my status as a team coach, I am going to return to Zunhua, and from now on I will run my own iron factory well and become a rich man." Yang Fan said humbly.
"Hahaha, you are not greedy for wealth and power. It's just a pity if this soldier is disbanded. Your place is a hundred-household station. Now, although it has been changed to a thousand-household guard station, it is just an empty frame. How can you afford it? So many soldiers." Yuan Chonghuan said.
Yang Fan frowned, a little unhappy. But he still asked respectfully: "Then according to your wishes, how should I handle this matter?"
"Since Yang Xiandi's ambition is not to serve in the army, why not give this soldier to me? Don't worry, I will love the soldier like a son and will take good care of you." Yuan Chonghuan looked at Yang Fan and said.
He just needs an army that can fight this time when he returns to Beijing. If he can recruit Yang Fan's troops as his own soldiers, it will be of great benefit to him to better control the Guan Ning Army.
Yang Fan actually didn't accept what he said or go his own way. You want to avoid me, huh! Pretending to be aloof and playing to retreat in order to make progress, he simply insisted on this point. Don't you want to go back and become a rich man? Then this soldier is no longer needed. How about you leave it to me.
Yang Fan felt disgusted in his heart. Why did Governor Yuan act so domineeringly? He was even more disgusted with the behavior of these people in Donglin.
Since you are given face and you don’t keep it yourself, then don’t blame others for making you lose face.
"Tuanlian is not a camp soldier. They are just employees of the lower official. They are of the same nature as working in a business. They come and go voluntarily. The lower official does not have the power to choose for them. However, the master can recruit soldiers at will. As long as they are willing to work for the master, the subordinate The officials will never stop him," Yang Fan said.
"Okay, I know that brother, you are dedicated to serving the public. Don't worry, I can still get the position of Zunhua Guard Commander for you." Governor Yuan suddenly became happy and immediately began to appoint officials and make wishes.
"However," Yang Fan looked confused.
"My dear brother, just say whatever you want, why do you have to be so unhappy?" Governor Yuan was so happy that his hometown accent came out.
"Since everyone has gone to beat others, will the lower officials not have to bear the burden of their military pay and treatment?" Yang Fan looked at Governor Yuan and asked cautiously.
"That's natural, how can I let you?" Commander Yuan said. At this point, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He had never asked about treatment and military pay. But it was hard for him to ask again, as this seemed to lower his status. He has been holding it with Yang Fan since he sat here.
The staff member next to him took a step forward, raised his hands and said, "May I ask, sir, how much is the training regiment's pay and how is it treated?"
Yang Fan pointed to the side and said: "This is Zhang Geda, the regiment commander of Xinghe Tuanlian. Please ask Zhang Tuanlian to come and tell you."
The staff member cupped his hands and said, "Please ask Zhang Tuanlian to clear up the confusion."
Zhang Geda and others had already been filled with anger. If Yang Fan hadn't been very strict in managing the army, they would have cursed loudly.
"I have a grain training regiment. The infantry is paid three taels of silver per month, the cavalry is paid four taels of silver per month, and the gunners are paid five taels of silver per month. I also have a load of white rice. I am assigned a house, fifty acres of land, tax exemption and no corvee. No mother-in-law. , the mother-in-law will receive a subsidy of fifteen taels, and all children with children will go to Xinghe Academy to study, and all room and board will be free. Soldiers and their families will enjoy free medical treatment, free medical treatment and medication, a 100 tael subsidy for those killed in battle, and a fifty tael subsidy for disabled people. , and then the monthly salary will be 80% for life."
With a snap, Governor Yuan's bowl of tea fell to the ground.
