"A method that the general doesn't understand?" Zhu Qilong was a little confused.

Li Yi did not explain that in his opinion, Liaoxi was not a monolithic entity. Since the generals in Liaoxi were unwilling to succumb to him, he would find a way to regain a force in Liaoxi.

Li Yi has seen the opportunity. As long as the situation in Dongjiang Town improves, he can take care of the Liaoxi generals.

On the other side, Zu Dale returned to Jinzhou and explained to Zu Dashou in detail what he had experienced in Ningyuan.

Zu Dashou is a traditional military general, but as a general in western Liaoning, he also understands that this battle with Li Yi will not only rely on military power, but also rely on the methods of all parties.

But he is still full of confidence in this.

Li Yi's foundation in western Liaoning was too shallow. In addition to the thousands of soldiers Yuan Chonghuan originally supervised in Biao Camp, only a group of officials in Ningyuan City headed by He Kegang would support him, but the garrison generals in each city would not obey his orders.

In Zu Dashou's view, if Li Yi really dared to act boldly, he might as well stir up some momentum and give the weak ministers in the court a taste of fear, and then put Li Yi in jail for endangering the situation in Liaodong.

Li Yi may be difficult to deal with, but the civil servants in the court will help him solve this problem.

Zu Dashou looked in the direction of the capital, with a trace of ridicule flashing in his eyes.

After experiencing this change, he has completely seen the true face of the ministers in the court.

Weak, sanctimonious, despicable, and unscrupulous, with such a group of smart people who only know how to fight in the nest, the situation in the Ming Dynasty cannot get better. In this case, the imperial court will definitely continue to rely on the Liaoxi generals to protect the Guanning defense line, and he can also take advantage of the opportunity

Sit tight on the fishing platform.

Zu Dashou was full of confidence, but He Kegang was very eager.

Nowadays, the DPRK and China are having a fierce dispute over Yuan Chonghuan's crimes, which has left a considerable impression on Guan Ning's officials.

Yuan Chonghuan's original policy of taming the fields and reassuring the people is slowly disappearing, and the originally integrated Liaodong forces are also slowly splitting, and all of this is related to one person, that is Li Yi.

He originally wanted to persuade Li Yi politely, but he didn't expect that Li Yi, who had a general understanding of the situation, unexpectedly went out of his way when he took office this time and flexed his power in front of him. It was obvious that he had already made a plan and would not put his suggestions into practice.

Keep it in mind.

He Kegang felt that he could no longer sit still and wait for death. He needed to ease the relationship between Li Yi and Zu Dashou as soon as possible.

In his opinion, although Li Yi was the governor of Liaodong, he was too junior and too young, so he should first bow to his ancestors.

To these, the servant outside whispered: "Sir, the Supervisor's Yamen has arrived."

He Kegang came back from his meditation, opened the curtain and walked out of the sedan. He looked at the plaque on the Supervisor's Yamen and felt very worried in his heart.

The servant stepped forward and asked the concierge to report. He turned around and said, "Master, shall we go in and wait."

He Kegang hesitated slightly. Li Yi's previous attitude still made him a little uneasy, and he didn't understand how Li Yi viewed himself.

You must know that although the general faction in Liaoxi Zhong is the most powerful, the civil servant faction under him should not be underestimated. Li Yi not only did not diligently win over them before, but also vaguely rejected them, which is strange.

Just when he was hesitating, he saw Zhu Qilong, the personal guard beside Li Yi, walking out.

Looking at this burly man, He Kegang valued Li Yi's men very much.

When Zhu Qilong saw He Kegang, he came over and paid homage: "Master He, my young master invites you to come to the meeting hall to speak."

He Kegang nodded and followed Zhu Qilong into the Governor's Yamen.

When he climbed up the steps, he saw four soldiers standing outside the gate, standing in pairs on both sides of the gate. They were all wearing red cotton armor, iron helmets on their heads, and swords on their waists. With their thick bodies,

His eyes were sharp, and he looked like a soldier who had been on the battlefield. He was very majestic.

"Are these An Xin Tiding who defeated the Hou Jin army?" He Kegang asked.

Zhu Qilong nodded and said: "My lord, you have good eyesight. These are all Iron Dings. They were selected from the people of Anxin and underwent rigorous training before they became Iron Dings. Each of them can skillfully use various weapons and is the best at them."

If you can use firearms to hit the enemy from a distance of three hundred steps, you are an elite soldier."

Perhaps after hearing Zhu Qilong's praise, the four iron men straightened their chests and stood with glory on their faces.

In Anxin, the real Anxin people do not care who has more property. What they compare is merit. Only with merit can you participate in Anxin affairs and work at the Anxin Chamber of Commerce or the Anxin Railway Brigade.

The amount of merit represents how much contribution this person has made to Anxin. And among Anxin, nothing can achieve greater merit than joining Tieding.

The level of merit represents status and honor in Anxin, and Tieding is the most glorious group of people in Anxin. They are loved by the villagers, favored by women, and worshiped by children. The cheers and respect make Anxin Tieding have

Courage and strength, armed with Anxin weapons, possess unimaginable combat effectiveness.

The record of defeating Jiannu's partial army head-on made their reputation spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, and they were qualified to stand tall with pride.

This confidence also infected He Kegang. As the left governor of Liaodong and a border military attache, he had seen too many soldiers, but none of them had such confidence and vitality like Anxin Tieding.

"Master He, the Supervisor is still waiting." Zhu Qilong said in a low voice.

He Kegang reacted, his worried expression returned to calm, and he walked to the meeting hall.

Li Yi stood at the door. When he saw He Kegang arriving, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master He, please come in quickly."

Although He Kegang was a martial artist, he had the demeanor of a Confucian scholar. When he saw Li Yi acting like this, he was not rude and said respectfully, "Greetings to the Governor."

When Li Yi saw He Kegang acting like this, he just thought that his previous beatings had an effect.

The two sat down, and He Kegang sighed: "I was in such a hurry before that I didn't notice the defense of the Governor's Yamen. Today I saw the iron guards guarding the gate. They are all brave men. With such elite soldiers, there is no need to worry about the safety of the Governor."

"

Li Yi shook his head and said: "Master He, what you said is wrong. Since you said that Tieding is an elite soldier, then elite soldiers should fight on the battlefield, make contributions to the country, and seek a future and glory for themselves. If I only regard them as my own bodyguards, wouldn't it be a waste of natural resources?

."

He Kegang was not a fool. When he heard Li Yi's words, he immediately reacted and said quickly: "The supervisor means..."

Li Yi's reaction to He Kegang was not surprising. Being able to become the governor of the left, He Kegang could not be insensitive to changes in power. And he himself was very fond of He Kegang, thinking that although He Kegang had no talent for warfare, he had the talent for running an army.

"What I mean is that I want to rectify the army and reform the military system." Li Yi glanced at He Kegang and said quietly.

He Kegang was slightly surprised, but he was not surprised by Li Yi's reform of the military system. In fact, he helped Yuan Chonghuan reform the military system in the first place.

What surprised him was that Li Yi had a weak foundation and the conflict with Zu Dashou had not yet been eased, so he dared to do such a bold thing.

"Master Superintendent, it is not impossible to change the military system. But now that the situation in Liaodong is unstable, should we wait?" He Kegang quickly advised.

Li Yi looked at He Kegang and said calmly: "So, Master He disagrees?"

He Kegang was still in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty at heart, and he still maintained due respect for Li Yi, a superior official, and said: "I don't dare to do so. It's just that changing the military system is not a trivial matter, and it has wide implications. The commander has just taken office now, and he has no idea about the situation.

I don’t understand, and I don’t know much about the military. It would be too risky to suddenly change the military system, so I think it should be done slowly and not in a hurry."

Although the two were not very close, Li Yi did not think that He Kegang's words were against him. On the contrary, Li Yi believed that He Kegang was the most knowledgeable and considerate of the overall situation in Liaodong.

Li Yi was not angry, but continued to ask: "Sir, why does the headquarters not understand the situation? And why does the headquarters not understand the army?"

He Kegang hesitated slightly, but looking at Li Yi's expressionless look, he was really afraid that he would intensify, and said: "Superintendent, the situation is not clear, it depends on the superiors and subordinates. Each official, each army, and the superintendent should have a good understanding of each other before they can give medicine to the enemy.

."

Li Yi asked again: "Master He, you mean that as long as I understand these, I will be able to customize the military system?"

He Kegang looked at Li Yi anxiously, thinking that he still didn't understand what he meant, and said anxiously: "Master Superintendent, the army in Liaodong is not commanded by adults, nor is it commanded by me. If you want to change the military system, just

We must get the support of the leading generals, but now, don’t you understand?”

He Kegang looked anxious and his tone was a little angry, but Li Yi not only didn't get angry when he saw it, but couldn't help it anymore and started laughing.

The loud laughter made He Kegang a little dumbfounded. He looked at Li Yi who was laughing non-stop, not understanding what was so funny about this.

Seeing that He Kegang still didn't understand, Li Yi struggled to stop the smile on his face and said: "Master He, you just mean the general of Liaoxi. In the end, you were weird and obfuscated, and you said a lot of nonsense. Then you said it in a hurry.

Honestly, I say, why can't you just say it?"

There was a hint of anger on He Kegang's face, thinking that Li Yi was playing with him, and said with a bit of coldness: "Master Superintendent, I don't care what you do, but Guan Ning is the front line against the Donglu, and it is related to the danger of the Ming Dynasty.

, I cannot let you act in such a retrograde manner and do things that will cause shock to Liaodong and endanger our Ming Dynasty."

When Li Yi saw He Kegang getting angry, he stopped the smile on his face, stared at He Kegang and said, "Well said."

He Kegang was startled for a moment, and then he heard Li Yi shout loudly: "Speak quickly, this is the way people speak. Mr. He, I can tell you that I must do it to change the military system."

He Kegang said with an angry face: "The army is in the hands of the generals in western Liaoning. Without their support, it is impossible for the Commander-in-Chief to change the military system. Does the Commander-in-Chief really want to fight Zu Dashou to the death?"

Li Yi shook his head and said: "This is too serious. Why did I say that I would change the military system of Guan Ning Army?"

Li Yi's successive words made He Kegang unable to be surprised. He could only stare at Li Yi and said: "Does your Excellency want to attack the guest army?"

The guest army is the army mobilized from various places to garrison on the Guanning line. They are the main force defending the city.

Li Yi shook his head, looked at He Kegang with sly eyes and said: "Who said that there are only two armies in Liaodong, the Guan Ning army and the guest army?"

He Kegang didn't react to Li Yi's words for a moment. He looked at Li Yi and asked doubtfully: "Is there a third army in Liaodong?"

Li Yi smiled and pointed to the east.

"Dongjiang Army?" He Kegang stood up with a roar, stared at Li Yi and said angrily: "Do you want to rely on the Dongjiang faction to deal with the Liaoxi generals?"

Li Yi smiled, "Why not?"

He Kegang said: "The Dongjiang Army's military discipline is corrupt and their weapons are not fully prepared. They are just a group of bandits. If you use them, you will only completely break up with Zu Dashou. There will be no room for relaxation in the future."

Li Yi didn't care about what He Kegang said, because he never intended to live in harmony with Zu Dashou.

Since he is seeking change, the Liaoxi generals who have vested interests must be on the opposite side of him. As a result, there is no possibility for the two sides to live in harmony, and there will be only a bloody fight to the death.

Clenching his palms, He Kegang's body trembled with anger, but he still stared at Li Yi.

Li Yi's method of dividing Liaodong and starting a fight, whether successful or not, will mean the defeat of one party. Whether it is a fight or a defeat, it will consume the vitality of the Ming Dynasty.
