Chapter 291 Governing Power for Military Power

Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin were dejected here, while Zhu Youcheng was refreshed there.

He traveled to the mountains with Shuangmei, and satisfied the dream of the playboy in his heart.

On the mountain, in his beautiful eyes, he showed his wonderful singing voice and sang love songs.

Ma Yunniang is Miao Nv. She grew up in Shishou. She had many folk songs in her heart and started singing duets with Zhu Youcheng.

Ke Qingqing was not willing to be outdone and responded with the songs he learned in the military camp.

Originally, Ma Yunniang's songs were full of tenderness, and Ke Qingqing's songs were full of passion and each had its own advantages. But Ke Qingqing was too unconfident and always felt that girls should sing songs like Ma Yunniang's songs, but she didn't know a single song, so she couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.

Ma Yunniang's eyes were so sharp that she realized this situation and stopped singing new songs, but sang the original song again.

Seeing that although Ke Qingqing did not surpass Ma Yunniang in the content of the song, she seemed to surpass her in the number of songs, she became happy again.

The three of them spent the whole day on the mountain, allowing Zhu Youcheng to enjoy a rare relaxed and sweet day after the Ming Dynasty.

It was not until the sun sets west that the three of them set on their way home.

When they returned to An'an's house, they found Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin waiting in the living room.

Ke Qingqing and Ma Yunniang knew that the three of them had military affairs to discuss, so they sued and returned to their room and went to talk to themselves.

Zhu Youcheng said: "How do you feel in today's battle?"

Ma Xianglin asked in surprise: "Why didn't Lord Zhu ask about the outcome of this battle?"

"Do you still ask? I'll call the soldiers I've taught, how can I not understand? This is a military exercise, and you can hold on for a while. If it were actual combat, you would have collapsed long ago."

Ma Xianglin was still waiting to refute, and Qin Liangyu interrupted him: "Xianglin, if you lose, you will be defeated. No need to say more."

After saying that, Qin Liangyu turned around and asked Zhu Youcheng: "I dare to ask Lord Zhu, why do we lose this battle?"

Zhu Youcheng wanted to learn from Zhuge Liang very much, so he stretched out his hand to stroke the long beard under his chin, but he felt empty and had to cough. He said, "The defeat of the Baigang Soldier is not due to the command of the general, nor is it due to the bravery of the soldiers. The defeat is due to the unreasonable equipment of the troops. I noticed that most of the Baigang Soldiers are melee troops, and there is not even a long-range troops. When encountering the enemy's long-range attack, the Baigang Soldiers will definitely suffer a great loss. If half of the Baigang Soldiers have crossbow soldiers today, they would not have been defeated so badly."

Zhu Youcheng knew the weapons of the Ming Dynasty and talked freely: "The crossbow used by the Jinyiwei is a horse crossbow. He uses both hands to open the crossbow, and the range is only fifty steps. The Ming Dynasty's slashing bow can reach more than 120 steps, and the range of a strong crossbow can even reach two hundred steps. The white-rod soldier is an infantryman, and it is most suitable to use a slashing bow. A 120-step crossbow against a 50-step crossbow. Who do you think will suffer a loss?"

Ma Xianglin muttered, "Brother-in-law is so sinister. I still like to slash against the enemy one by one..."

Zhu Youcheng was furious and pointed at Ma Xianglin's nose and shouted: "Are you a general? Do you know how to fight? What is war? War is to use the shortest time and kill the enemy with the most. As long as you can kill the enemy, whether it is poisoning, digging a pit, or any other despicable method, it can be used in war. How did Guan Yu die? He was killed by Lu Meng, who was far inferior to his martial arts. Now, who dares to say that Lu Meng is not a famous general?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Youcheng remembered that Ma Xianglin was his elder brother-in-law and could not offend him cruelly, and his tone slowed down: "General Ma. Isn't one of your eyes blinded by Jiannu? Don't you want to take revenge? With such a white-rod soldier, can you get revenge?"

Ma Xianglin was speechless by Zhu Youcheng, so he had to smile awkwardly.

Qin Liangyu said: "Son-in-law - Lord Zhu, in the afternoon I repeatedly thought about your proposal and sent the Baigang soldiers to study at the Xizhenfu Department of Jinyiwei. It's good. However, after sending four thousand Baigang soldiers, I don't have much force in my hands, and I'm afraid I will not be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the peace of Sichuan."

"If you don't have any soldiers, just recruit soldiers. General Qin loves soldiers as much as his son. Shi Qian's people are fierce in their manners. The source of troops should not be a problem."

"I don't know what the virtuous son-in-law is, and the last one is the chieftain. The court has some restrictions on the total number of chieftains. If the army is too large, the censor will impeach me and I will not be able to afford to be punished."

Zhu Youcheng was silent for a moment and said, "You can quit your position as chieftain."

Qin Liangyu's face changed and she murmured: "The Shiquan Xuanfu Envoy was passed down by my husband. Even if I can't carry it forward, I can't end it with my own hands."

Zhu Youcheng smiled. This sentence proved that Qin Liangyu was a stone troupe, not because of his original intention, but to protect the interests of the family. In this world, there is nothing that cannot be exchanged except for the unshakable faith.

Qin Liangyu's belief is to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism and defend the Ming Dynasty. If she was advised to exchange power for military power, she would probably be happy.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youcheng said: "When it comes to the fact that the chieftain is the local emperor, he cannot leave the territory at will unless there is an imperial edict from the emperor. So, sir, you use the stone burial toast as a treasure, but your descendants may not like to stay in the broken place of the stone burial."

Zhu Youcheng turned his head to Ma Xianglin: "Brother Xianglin, have you been to Chengdu? Do you think Chengdu is better or Shifu is better?"

"Of course... the stone pot is good." Ma Xianglin immediately changed his words when he noticed Qin Liangyu's knife-like eyes.

But after thinking about it, Ma Xianglin decided to tell the truth: "But Chengdu is not bad either. There are bustling streets, buildings, and groups of beauties. Otherwise, the slutball player of She Chongming would not have to play Chengdu. The only thing is that Chengdu’s things are too expensive, especially good things. Last time, I bought a piece of clothing for Yun Niang, and actually collected me 500 quotas. There is a 500 quotas, and I can have a great banquet in Shifu..."

Ma Xianglin said, feeling a little painful.

Zhu Youcheng smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you go to Jingxi Huangzhuang for training and give you ten silver dollars every month, okay?"

Ma Xianglin opened his eyes wide in surprise and said, "Ten...ten silver rounds?"

The county magistrate's salary is only sixty or seventy silver dollars a year. He only went to the Jinyiwei West Fushi Department for training and could receive a living allowance of 120 silver dollars. Zhu Youcheng was really good.

"Don't stare out. Even if you go to the imperial village, you deserve the salary. However, don't think that this salary is easy. I was called the "devil instructor" by the Jinyiwei in private, and I was not recognized by my relatives when I was trained."

Speaking of this, Zhu Youcheng turned to Ma Yunniang again and asked softly: "Sister Yunniang, do you like Shifu or Chengdu?"

Ma Yunniang is a model for husband and wife to follow her. She ignored Qin Liangyu's sharp eyes and smiled: "Of course Chengdu is good, there are many things and beautiful things, and the house is big and beautiful. Not to mention Chengdu, even Guiyang, which is poor and badly water, is much better than Shi Qian. However, as long as Brother Cheng goes, it will be my paradise."

Zhu Youcheng grabbed Ma Yunniang's Rouyi, patted him, then put down Ma Yunniang's little hand, turned to Qin Liangyu and said, "Look, your children don't seem to appreciate the stone pot you have worked hard on."

Qin Liangyu was a little embarrassed and whispered: "How can I raise these two prodigal sons?"

Zhu Youcheng said seriously: "My mother-in-law, in order to strengthen the Ming Dynasty's control over the local area, after I return to Beijing, I will propose to the emperor to increase the efforts to change the land and return the land. The barbarian areas will undoubtedly change the land and return the land and return the flow system, and other areas will gradually implement the system of relocation, so you can't be the chieftain of Shifu for too long. Instead of being ordered by the court to hand over the power of governing power, it is better to take the initiative to use the power of governing power and use the power of governing power to command more soldiers, so that you can better maintain the security of Sichuan. In this way, you have done a great good thing for the people of Shifu."

Qin Liangyu was shocked. She could not have imagined that Zhu Youcheng was planning such a shocking plan while fighting.

She asked with concern: "Son-in-law, you do this to push yourself to the opposite of all the toasts. The pressure is very high. Can you bear it?"

Zhu Youcheng said: "My Lord Yu Qian once said to you, 'I am not afraid of being broken into pieces, and I must keep my innocence in the world.' For the prosperity and strength of the Ming Dynasty, why should I be afraid of axe, hook and fork, even if I am broken into pieces."

Seeing Zhu Youcheng speaking decisively, Qin Liangyu smiled happily and said, "A son-in-law is so heroic, and he cannot fall behind even though he is old. Okay, I immediately submit to the court and resign from the position of Shiquan Xuanfu Envoy."

Zhu Youcheng said: "My mother-in-law doesn't need to be so anxious. After I return to Beijing and talk to the emperor about the policy of changing land and returning to the land, you can submit your letter. Otherwise, the court ministers would think you have suffered a huge grievance and would have to give up the offer."

Qin Liangyu nodded and said, "Everything is based on what the virtuous son-in-law said. I am doing war. I can't deal with these twists and turns."

Ma Xianglin breathed a long sigh. He actually didn't want to stay in the broken place of Shifu, but he was the eldest son and had to take over as the Shifu Xuanfu envoy.

Now, the chieftain system is about to be cancelled. It’s really a big sea with fish leaping, and the sky is high and birds are flying. The Ming Dynasty is so vast, where can he not go? (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
