Chapter 544: Liaodong Li Dashuai

On the day when Li Chengliang returned to Guangning with triumphant return, most of the civil and military officials in the city went out to greet each other. The scene was so big that Wang Fulin, who witnessed this scene for the first time, opened his eyes. ◎,

After all, civil servants absolutely suppress military generals and absolutely lead military generals. If they were replaced by generals from other sides, they would be controlled by civil servants, governors, or even controlled by sub-censors, but the situation in Ji and Liao was very different. At the remnants of Jiajing and Longqing, these two towns were extremely decayed. The generals were either killed in battle or dismissed, or executed. After Tan Lun took office as the governor of Ji and Liao, Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang successively held the position of generals. So far, the governor has been changed to the third one, but the positions of the two generals in Ji and Liao Town have not changed, and the two towns of Ji and Liao Town have also stabilized unprecedentedly.

Now, after Tan Lun and Liu Yingjie, two predecessors, successively joined the court as Minister of War and Minister of Works of Nanjing, Yang Zhaogai, the governor of Ji Liao, delegated power, and still maintained the attitude of the two predecessors towards the two generals. Zhang Xueyan, the governor of Liaodong, was highly regarded by the chief assistant Zhang Juzheng, and his relationship with Li Chengliang was also very good. Although Li Chengliang became rich and proud as he rose, he made friends with civil officials indifferently. The entire Liao Town almost cheered him, and there were few inappropriate noises. Or in other words, those inappropriate people were either excluded or were transferred away by the top to see the wrong momentum.

Therefore, when we welcome Marshal Li to the triumphant, we are all congratulations and compliments. Of course, we are even less able to praise the saints and compliment the chief assistant Zhang Ju's knowledge of the wisdom of using people.

Li Rusong, who was standing in front of him, turned around and glanced at the crowd and found that Wang Fulin and his wife and Shen's uncle and nephew were all here, but they did not go to compete with civil and military officials and local gentry and wealthy businessmen in Guangning to show their faces in front of Li Chengliang. He remembered that Shen Yourong had been pestering him every day in recent days, and also asked a lot of military tactics. Wang Fulin was following Shen Mao to learn riding and shooting. From time to time, he also asked for advice on the Li family's dialect. As for his wife, Ye, he often walked around Mrs. Su, chatting and asking for some things. He thought he could understand that the uncle and nephew of the Shen family were indeed traveling, but he really didn't understand what Wang Fulin was here for.

Because of this, when he saw his father Li Chengliang and entered the city, he did not mention this matter rashly because there were too many people around him. However, when he entered the General's Mansion, he had to report in a low voice. When Li Rubai, who was also following his elder brother, raised his eyebrows and said, "One of the uncle and nephew of the Shen family is a juren, and the other has no fame, so what do they do. As for that Wang Fulin, a small Jinshi. Isn't it that he is the third-class pass on the current rank, but someone misinterpreted the meaning of the chief minister? My father is now the general of Liaodong, so what can he do?"

"You can't just look at him who has not been appointed to an official position so far, and think that only people have misinterpreted the meaning of the prime minister. Just look at Wang Daokun, the Minister of War, is still doing well in the Ministry of War and has taken on a lot of burdens for Tan Lun, and you will know the Prime Minister's intentions. Moreover, Wang Fulin has been candidates for more than half a year, but his reputation has not decreased. On the contrary, even people in Liaodong talk about this young Jinshi."

Li Rusong asked a few times, and saw Li Rubai choked. He said silently, "Besides, after he passed the imperial examination, he would not be appointed as an official, but traveled around first. There are very few examples of this. He is not Ding You, or he is in a bad health. Besides, there are any traveling Jinshi who would take Yuan Pei's wife to wander around, and I have seen Ye's skills personally. I always feel that this person is a little unpredictable, even more so than Shen Maoxue. My father might as well meet him."

Li Chengliang still remembers that when Wang Daokun visited Jiliao at the last time at Longwan, due to the traitors occupying the 36 islands, Wang Daokun had a disagreement with Liaodong Governor Zhang Xueyan. Wang Daokun believed that it was necessary to directly send troops to arrest him, but Zhang Xueyan believed that he should be sent to arrest him, and then sent people to recruit people to relieve his servants. In the end, he acted as a sign of Zhang Xueyan, and he was defeated without fighting and recruited more than 4,000 people from the sea. As for the remaining population, it was not worth fearing. If others might hate Zhang Xueyan for this, Wang Daokun praised Zhang Xueyan and him after returning to Beijing. He was deeply impressed by this.

So, when he thought about Li Rusong's proposal, he nodded and said, "Just because he is Wang Daokun's nephew. If you don't tell me, I will also want to see him. It is inconvenient for lunch and dinner, so you bring someone to see me at night."

Li Rusong responded quickly, and although Li Rubai disagreed, his father said that his elder brother was the person they were most afraid of besides their parents. At this moment, he could only change the topic: "My father won the battle against Wang Gao this time. Although Wang Gao escaped with a few confidants, it was only a matter of time to catch him. Moreover, Wang Tai from Hada's tribe has been fighting with him. If he has such an opportunity to take advantage of the situation, he will definitely not let it go. The book of the father's previous offering of prisoners and victory has been published, and this time it can be regarded as the first victory in the Wanli Dynasty. All the small victories fought in other places have been compared."

Li Chengliang laughed out loud for the compliment of the second son, and was indeed quite proud. The first half of his life was wasted, and once he crossed the natural barrier, he would move around and show his ambitions. Even the protagonists of the novel had such an encounter. At this moment, after he sat down at the main seat, he asked Li Rusong about the military personnel and personnel affairs of the General Office during his war. At the end, he whispered: "This time I report the victory and merits, I am naturally the first. However, I am afraid that the merits of the governor of Ji Liao and the governor Zhang Xueyan will have to consider the merits. If others ask, remember to be vague and don't leave any words."

Li Rusong and Li Rubai knew that Li Chengliang got along well with both the Governor of Ji Liao and the Governor of Liaodong. These two were quite well aware of military strategies. But think that the civil servants made great contributions when they talked. The soldiers fought desperately on the battlefield, but they still couldn't get much reward, so they couldn't help but curl their lips. However, due to the tutor, they didn't dare to comment.

When Li Chengliang talked about some things about Liaoyang, the two brothers were about to invite their father to see their mother, but suddenly Li Chengliang said, "By the way, this time, the soldiers and civilians in the Gule Village were almost destroyed, but a group of Jurchen teenagers were captured. Their identities have not been identified yet. I intend to tame these people to see if they can be useful in the future. You might as well pick them. If you are smart and wise, stay in the General's Mansion to see how. The rest are placed in the military camp to serve hard labor, repair camps, or raise horses. After Wang Gao, the Jurchen troubles can be temporarily released, and Chahan's earthly mandarin is the top priority. However, the thorns of the Jurchen tribes must be sorted out every now and then, but they cannot be too fast. If you can cultivate some submissive ones, it will be more useful in the future."

Li Rusong and Li Rubai, the two oldest adult sons of Li Chengliang, had already been on the battlefield before they were young. Not to mention anything else, they understood the meaning of their father. The two agreed together, and then Li Rusong mentioned his mother who returned from Tielingwei. Li Chengliang naturally respected this wife. After changing his clothes, he took the two to the backyard to stay at the wife's place.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Mrs. Su bringing several daughters-in-law, young son, and the side wife Wang who came back quietly. The couple had not seen each other for half a year in a blink of an eye. Although they were not as supportive as they had just gotten married and leaned on each other, Li Chengliang's trust in his wife was as always. Instead, he just glanced at his children and daughter-in-law and said nothing. He didn't even notice that there was an extra person. He didn't notice that Li Rubai had noticed something was right. He immediately asked his elder brother softly: "Who is the one next to his sister-in-law behind his mother?"

"That's what I said, Wang Fulin's wife Ye. Judging from her helpless look, she probably was originally going to leave, but her mother kept it."

Li Rusong guessed that it was indeed correct. Xiaobei did not expect to come to the front when the family reunited. But as soon as she and Wang Fulin came back, she was invited by Mrs. Su. At this moment, she faced Li Chengliang earlier than Wang Fulin.

She has always been convinced of Wang Fulin's judgment. Even though Wang Fulin didn't mention what he had planned for the Jurchens, since she had entrusted her with her before, she of course wanted to help. However, she was not by nature who was very good at pleasing to her elders, so after thinking about it, she simply did not take the initiative to get in front of Mrs. Su.

When Mrs. Su came back, she knew that she and Wang Fulin were husband and wife. After scolding Li Rusong that day, she also placed another living yard, allowing her to live with Wang Fulin and Bizhu. Although she was not in the same place as the backyard of the General's House, she was connected by a small door, and was only separated from the yard of the uncle and nephew of the Shen family and others. So, while Wang Fulin went to Shen Maoxue to ask for advice on riding and shooting for several days, she did not go to the martial arts field, but practiced martial arts alone in the yard. During her practice, Mrs. Su's only daughter, Li Rumin, quietly came over a few times, and naturally saw it. When she went back, she said that Mrs. Su would have to ask her to ask.

Knowing her shortcomings, she simply talked about the old things in the Southeast. Anyway, she had many places to travel and visit, and there were always people interested in that different style. Sure enough, she became familiar with each other in one or two times. But she never expected that Li Chengliang didn't care at all when he saw her. It seemed that she was a very common person when she was often with her.

But she soon found out that she was wrong. When Mrs. Su smiled and asked Li Rusong's wife Ma to take her forward and explained her identity to Li Chengliang, she saw that the Liaodong general's face was obviously stiff. Although she quickly smiled and said politely, she was obviously a little caught off guard. She felt even more uncomfortable and quickly took the opportunity to leave. But before leaving, Li Chengliang suddenly said: "Although Mr. Wang and I only met during the first year of Wanli, we admired his literary talent. After the evening family banquet, please take your nephew Shiqing to move forward for a while."

"I will definitely tell you if the Grand Marshal invites you."

He said this, but after Xiaobei went back to report the message to Wang Fulin, when he talked about such an experience, he couldn't help but say with a bitter face: "I wonder, does Shuai Li not remember how many daughters and daughter-in-law he has?"

"It's public and forget about your own selfishness. Besides, when there are too many people, I only pay attention to what I am familiar with. It's not surprising that I didn't find you, an outsider." Wang Fulin touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "However, that lady actually chose to let you see Marshal Li first at this time. This is a bit difficult to guess. My uncle only met him once, so he called me a nephew at you, and his attitude was more polite than I thought. Speaking of which, thanks to the fight between Shen Yourong and Li Rusong, this was the threshold of the General's Mansion. As long as you have the opportunity to meet alone, you will say whatever you want to say. To such a rich experience, lies will make things worse."

However, Wang Fulin still underestimated Li Chengliang's character. When he took Xiaobei as promised at night and stepped into the martial arts field with torches lightning around him, he saw a rider rushing past the road at lightning, and arrows shot out quickly, and it was actually shooting at night. When the person jumped down in front of him, a series of actions were completed in one go. As for how many targets he hit, he didn't see it.
