276 Meeting 2
Soon Yanghe went up the mountain bag. There were many people wearing blue-robed Confucian scarfs on the mountain. All of them had their faces flying, and even their faces were red by the sun.
There are also several people wearing official uniforms, either in the seventh grade, the ninth grade, or the eighth grade, who may be Suqian and nearby magistrates, chief clerks, etc.
There were two other officials in the fifth-rank official uniforms. Yang He estimated that they were the Tongzhi of Sutaohe, who was stationed in Suqian and the Tongzhi of Guirenti, who was stationed in Suqian.
There were many Tongzhis in Huai'an Prefecture, and at peak, it reached more than a dozen. Most of them were sent to various prefectures and counties under the prefecture as Tongzhi of He, just like Huang Sien, the Hewu Tongzhi stationed in Zhapizhou.
In addition to these civil servants and staff, there were two people dressed as military generals standing aside, looking at Yang He himself who was coming up the mountain with curious eyes.
Yang He glanced at the two of them, and probably the two of them were Dai Guozhu, the general of protecting the canal and river protection stationed in Suqian, and he was on the way to the ancient road.
When the governor came to Suqian, no matter the local or nearby officials, they naturally gathered around them, regardless of the scorching sun.
Finally, Yang He looked at a man surrounded by everyone. He was dark-faced, short, but strong and powerful. He was not wearing an official uniform, wearing a round-collared blue cloud collar, wearing a big hat, with a bright eyes, and just looked at himself with a smile.
Shidewei stepped forward and said softly, and the man nodded.
Yang He knew that this person was Shi Kefa and looked quite ordinary and friendly.
Even some dust on his hat and clothes seemed to have been to the construction site.
He stepped forward to pay homage to him: "The new official is Yang He, the chief of the Pizhou Practice, and has met Shi Governor."
Shi Kefa smiled and said, "It's not a court, so there's no need to be too polite. Mr. Yang Lian, please get up."
His official language is very standard, but he also has a little Kaifeng accent. He looked up and down at Yang He. The man in front of him was very young, not yet twenty years old, but his behavior had a deep and mature smell.
He also has a handsome face, a soft robe, a blue shirt, a cloak, and a saber, and a saber. He has a heroic spirit in his elegance, and his demeanor and demeanor are the best choices.
Shi Kefa's eyes showed a look of satisfaction. Yang He was very consistent with the ideal appearance of a scholar in his mind. He could kill enemies and govern the country with his horse. He was both civil and military, and had both wisdom and courage, and followed the teachings of the six arts of a saint, a gentleman.
Although the man in front of him was young, he had made great contributions. He defeated the thief in two waves and three times, and successfully fought in the wild twice, and even killed He Yong, the nephew of the thief He Yilong, the last time.
It’s a pity that no matter how great the merit is, there is a certain amount of promotion. Only the merit is saved as an important consideration for future promotion.
Especially when the man in front of him was a scholar, his promotion channels were even narrower, and he could basically only redirect the training position of the village corps.
At this time, the juren is basically just wandering around in miscellaneous officials. The young man in front of him is not even a juren. Even if he is transferred to a place to serve as the chief clerk of the ninth rank, it will probably cause noise in the whole country's affairs.
However, out of his appreciation of Yang He, he made enough contributions and was considered as a compliment to the fellow villager. Shi Kefa still planned to recommend Yang He to practice preparations for Huai'an Prefecture in the future.
However, this is the treatment of a rank of a magistrate and the official rank is the sixth rank. Even if Shi Kefa is the governor, he cannot act rashly.
Although he was a local official and had the power to recommend, the Ming Dynasty also had regulations that those who were recommended need to be experienced and have a sense of facts, and also worked in a certain place for three to six years.
Shi Kefa estimated that if Yang He could be hard at the position of Pizhou Zhengzheng for a few years, it would be natural.
He thought to himself, let Yang He get up and ask him about his journey as usual, but it's hard to wait.
Yang He bowed and said, "Thank you, Governor Shi, for inquiry. It's okay on the way to Xiaguan. But when he was about to reach the intersection of the road, he encountered bandits. Fortunately, the guards were strong and they were killed back."
The face of an official next to him changed. Shi Kefa sighed: "Bandits are everywhere, and the people don't even dare to travel. We feel ashamed."
He remembered the news from Di News. On the fourth day of this month, the thief and Cao thief began to surround the brigade for the third time. This time the news was even more powerful, claiming to be a million people. I am afraid that Kaifeng City will be in danger.
Although he was from Daxing, his hometown was from Xiangfu, Kaifeng. The war in Kaifeng was naturally worried, but there seemed to be no other way to imagine except worry and sigh.
Then, like Gao Qifeng, the magistrate of Suining, Shi Kefa also asked Yang He that he had the name of "Yi Shi Kefa". Yang He replied that his mentor was Ji Maoxun, the magistrate of Luyi, and gave him the name and Shen Yan, which made Shi Kefa feel a little regretful.
Finally, Shi Kefa asked him about the battle against the thieves. Everyone around him seemed to be interested in it.
Yang He said that he even claimed the crime, pulled out the saber and slashed the ground a few times, making the situation at that time clear at a glance.
He said: "The terrain of this war is very important. The first time the bandits came, the Xiaguan and others were ambushing the Jingshan Mountains. On one side is a mountain and on the other side is a swamp and pond. The official road passed by the foot of Jingshan Mountain. Unprepared to the guard, the bandits entered our yard and were defeated."
He said: "In the second battle to defend the city, my division has a good terrain, so I won't talk about it."
He said: "For the third battle against the thieves and bandits, the Xiaguans set up defenses in Longtou Mountain. The official road also passed by the foot of the mountain. Not far ahead was the Baitang River. If the bandits wanted to go north to attack Suining County, they would have to capture Longtou Mountain. Our division had high walls and thick villages. The bandits could not defeat them. They attacked repeatedly and died, but finally had no choice but to retreat."
Yang He said it in a few words, and explained the war clearly, and then used a saber to draw the map. Everyone was very excited and felt like they were in the scene.
Even some young staff members around him showed their yearning, wishing they were there at that time, commanding the troops and destroying the bandits.
Even Dai Guozhu, the general protecting the canal and river protection beside him, looked at Gu Daoxing, and all looked admiring.
Both of them are long-time generals in the army, and they can fight or kill, but if you talk about such a plan, you can sometimes do it, but you will definitely not.
At this time, one person laughed and said, "I'm afraid things are not as simple as Mr. Yang Lian said. Although the strategy is good, the thieves are not ordinary thieves, especially their old camp horse team is even more deceitful. Now the casual officers and soldiers dare not fight with the thieves in the wild."
Yang He looked at it, but there was someone next to Shi Kefa, Dongpo's scarf, big clothes, green shoes, big ears, long beard, especially longer ears, very white, whiter than his face, which was impressive. He was about forty years old.
Looking at his ears, Yang He thought to himself: "Is this person Yan Ermei, a native of Baida Mountain?"
Looking at the man next to Yan Ermei, with a scarf, plain shoes, big belt, deep clothes, with hands behind his back, his eyes were cold and thin, but he just looked up and down at himself, thinking: "This person should be Yao Kang."
He smiled and said, "What this gentleman said is that it is difficult to fight thieves now, but they are not three heads and six arms. As long as the soldiers are loyal and righteous, they dare to kill and fight, it is not difficult to deal with. They are harsh and do not have much courage to fight. They run away as long as they suffer some damage, especially their old camp will not dare to fight to the death."
Yan Ermei laughed and disagreed, but the young man in front of him was hiding, which made him feel very interested.
Shi Kefazhe looked at the line map drawn by Yang He underground and pondered. He was not a person who had never led troops to fight wars. He guarded Chizhou in the eighth year of Chongzhen and governed Anqing in the tenth year of Chongzhen. He had fought against local local bandits.
He felt that although many of the contributions to the good news belonged to others, he won the thief three times, and I am afraid that everything was handled by the young man in front of him.
"There are really not many seeds like this." He thought to himself.
At the same time, he agreed with what Yang He said. In many cases, when fighting against the bandits and Eastern Barbarians, the officers and soldiers were not unable to fight, but did not want to fight. Especially some veterans of the generals, and they were brave and brave servants under their command, and they just wanted to preserve their strength.
"The fewer people who understand loyalty and righteousness are mostly fritters from bureaucratic military leaders."
This is what Shi Kefa has been an official for many years. The entire officialdom is full of stagnation, and civil officials are greedy for money and military generals are afraid of death.
Thinking of this, Shi Kefa whispered: "Don't you see, the Han army is over, and the weak crowns are requesting long tassels. Don't you see, the clan is Dingyuan, and the light cavalry in the ultimate realm urges to fight. Men should be in serious danger, so how can the Confucian crowns lose their lives? Moreover, the national prestige is like a burden, and the feathered edicts are fighting forever..."
He murmured softly, everyone beside him had different expressions, basically all the officials were expressionless, only some young staff members showed a boiling look.
Most of them are young and promising students and scholars. They are involved in Shi Kefa's command, and they are not just for promotion and wealth. Therefore, after Yang He's poem appeared in the world, it was very popular among some young scholars.
Of course, the immortal officials are numb and live in vain all day long, just to fight for power and profit, make more money and play with two more thin horses.
Finally, Shi Kefa looked at Yang He and said seriously: "Be careful of your words, I hope you will be ashamed of danger as you said in the poem: 'A man should be a serious act'. The emperor will not let down the emperor's grace, and the inferior will not let down the people!"
Yang He said, "Please remember."
His eyes drooped slightly. Although he had his own planning rhythm, he still respected Shi Kefa a little.
He is fair and honest, has almost no selfishness, and is full of desire to serve the country.
It’s a pity that I have defects in character and ability, I don’t have the ability to adapt to changes, and I don’t have the ability to make decisive decisions about major events.
This may be related to his life. Everything went too far and there were few setbacks. When he encountered heavy pressure, he would be confused.
So Yang He felt that if Shi Kefa did not enter the decision-making level, it would be very good for the executor, or the local governor and governor.
The tragedy caused by the misplaced position and the entrusted too much hope.
...
Recently, General Yao Kang has made suggestions, asking Shi Kefa to take advantage of Yang He's great victory again to set up Pihai Lianzheng to manage the township soldiers in the two prefectures and six counties, namely Pizhou, Suining, Suqian, Haizhou, Ganyu and Shuyang.
In this way, even if a bandit invades the boundaries of the six counties again, there is no worries. Yang He won three great victories and twice in the wild, which proves that he is a suitable candidate.
But Shi Kefa was always hesitating. Although the emperor had an order to let the local people train their villages long ago, they only defended their hometowns and did not transfer them to other places. The township soldiers in one county and the township soldiers in one state and one state have no subordinates to each other.
In other words, the provincial training chief cannot take charge of the county training chief, and the government training preparation cannot take charge of the provincial training chief. Their superiors are their respective magistrates, magistrates, and magistrates.
There is no previous example in this case. Shi Kefa is also worried that it would be a blessing for Yang He after doing so.
It’s not that there was no lesson in the past. In the Jiajing period, there was the top scholar Shen Kun, a native of Huai'an. Because the Japanese pirates violated and robbed, the local officers and soldiers were useless, and they were angry and recruited thousands of local soldiers.
After training, it became a powerful brigade and formed an army at that time, more than a year earlier than Qi Jiguang's formation of the Qi family army.
Then thousands of Japanese pirates invaded Huai'an again. Shen Kun led the troops to fight, and won a great victory. He beheaded nearly a thousand of them. He also dug a pit and buried the bodies of Japanese pirates, building high piers on them, calling them "burying the Japanese pirates."
As the top scholar, Shen Kun led the way and shot a Japanese chief with one arrow, which was known as both civil and military. His troops were also called the top scholar by the people and powerful enemy chiefs.
With the top scholar soldiers here, the Japanese pirates dare not invade Huai'an again.
But such a person was attacked by a group of people and impeached him to "team the local brave men in private and plot to betray the court." He was eventually imprisoned and died in vain.
Shi Kefa is worried that Yang He will have the same result in the future.
And it’s okay if it’s only in this prefecture and county, but it involves nearby prefectures and counties, so it’s a big deal. For example, if he is the chief of Pizhou, the governor of Pizhou is the governor of Pihai. If he is the governor of Pihai, is the governor of Pizhou in charge of him or Haizhou in charge of him?
If someone is specially transferred to control him, will officials from all over Pihai agree or not?
After all, the training of rural soldiers is used to use money and food from all over their land.
Shi Kefa was always hesitating and measuring, and he still hoped that all parties could make some sense.
However, letting Yang He control the soldiers of Suining and Suqian County, this is something Shi Kefa is considering.
When good news came, Gao Qifeng, the magistrate of Suining County, wanted the township soldiers of Suining County to be controlled by Yang He, the new Pizhou General Secretary of Practice.
At the same time, he also wants to see how good the young man is and whether he can do it.
He said: "Although the Qingshan bandits were defeated, some of the thieves fled everywhere. Although they did not dare to invade the grain transportation, they often harassed Pizhou and even Haizhou. If you become the chief of state, how should you deal with these Qingshan bandits?"
Yang Hedao: "When I returned to the governor, the officials actually thought that there was no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. It was best to find their nests and wipe them out in one fell swoop."
He looked at everyone's expressions and was obviously in a dilemma. After all, these green mountains thieves were hiding in Yimeng Mountain, which was the territory of the Shandong governor. This coordination was not an easy task.
Although he was too lazy to care about this and directly attacked the lair, he still had to say: "If it is difficult to coordinate the two places, then there are only things to guard. The thieves take the initiative to walk, but Pizhou is full of rivers and lakes. Even if the thieves attack, there are not many places to go. Just use some township soldiers as surveillance, guard the key points, and then the large group of people are on guard, seize the opportunity, and severely damage the thieves. After a few times, the thieves will definitely not dare to invade our Pizhou again."
Shi Kefa nodded. This strategy was appropriate, and the suggestions of his staff were almost the same.
Of course, this suggestion also has a premise, and the local rural soldiers are more brave.
He pondered and said, "If Suqian is here, how should you arrange it?"
Yang He first said: "Are the soldiers in Suqian Township directed the command of the subordinate officials?"
Everyone next to him seemed to have a bright look, especially the two officials.
Chapter completed!
