Chapter 504 The right to release a soldier with a glass of wine(1/2)
The unlucky Li Rubai was suddenly thrown into prison, and his father quickly wrote a letter to Yang Feng to plead for mercy.
Of course, pleading is an excuse.
He doesn't care so much about a son.
He doesn't lack it.
In fact, it is just tentative Yang Feng’s intention.
Everyone understands people. What is the purpose of Yang Feng arresting his son? Of course, the old fox like Li Chengliang understands. He pleads with mercy. If Yang Feng gives him face with mercy, it means that there will be no danger to the Li family for the time being. But if Yang Feng doesn't give him face at all, then the Li family will really have to consider where to go next.
However, Yang Fengzhen showed off a loyal face and refused sternly, saying that everyone is familiar with each other and there is no way to make any mistakes about such major issues.
What a loyal minister Yang Xiangguo is.
Li Rubai actually dared to deceive Yang Xiangguo into imitating Cao Cao and Huanhuan?
Let him be a treacherous minister?
It's simply crazy!
Then Li Chengliang had nothing to say.
Next he has only two choices.
First, I wrote a letter quickly, saying that I was old and could no longer be competent for the job. I asked the Prime Minister Yang to quickly appoint a new governor of Liaodong and then the Li family entered the court. I guess wealth would be indispensable in the future. After all, the Li family has accumulated a lot of family business over the years, let alone connections in Liaodong.
Don’t lose Dou Rong’s career.
The second is to prepare for the war.
He won the King of Liaodong and lost the battle.
But no matter what, the atmosphere inside and outside Shanhaiguan suddenly became tense.
"I am a loyal minister!"
Yang Feng raised his wine glass and said.
In front of him were Du Song, Yang Yuan, You Jixian, Dong Yiyuan, Zhang Shijue, and Du Wenhuan who were summoned.
"Yes, the Prime Minister's loyalty to His Majesty is understandable. Li Rubai is simply ignorant of life and death. He dares to deceive the Prime Minister. Don't worry, the brothers all know the Prime Minister's loyalty!"
Jun Song said indignantly.
I don't know if he really thinks this or is hiding irony.
Of course, Yang Xiangguo thought he was sincere.
"It's still Brother Du understands me."
He said.
Then the other military leaders agreed.
These six guys are also considered the six main vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, and their strength is not weak. Because the three generals of Ji Town were abolished, the current situation is that the Dong family still controls Xuanfu, the Du family Datong, and Yang Yuan Shanxi Town generals. He took advantage of the Ma Kongying Rebellion to steal north of Xinkou, so the frontier of Datong Country in Shanxi is Xinkou. The strongest one should be You Jixian. His Shaanxi North Group has gained a lot in the previous pursuit of Salike and others, especially in Gansu, where many families can be conquered, and currently there are about 20,000 cavalrymen. Zhang Shijue is second, and he must have nearly 20,000, especially in Ningxia, and has acquired many fugitive households in Shaanxi, which happened to be reclaiming land and farming in Ningxia, where the population losses are heavy.
But the richest one is juniper.
He and the Qi family and the Yu family controlled the Zhaoyuan Gold Mine and entered maritime trade.
In recent years, it has rapidly developed into a wealthy person.
Yang Feng looked at their performance with satisfaction.
Then he suddenly showed a strange smile...
"Actually you all understand what I want to do."
He said.
Then a joyful atmosphere came to an abrupt end.
A group of military leaders looked at him awkwardly.
"I, my brothers, are all more straightforward!"
The oldest Dong Yiyuan said.
"Yes, yes, why should we and the prime minister be like those corrupt scholars? The Li family has dominated Liaodong for nearly ten years. Even if Li Rusong sacrificed his life for the country, the prime minister gave them ten years of Liaodong King, which was enough to repay him.
If they have made great peace today, they should be more sensible and handed over their territory.”
Yang Yuan said quickly.
"right!"
"You must know the right attitude when you are a person."
...
Then others expressed their opinions.
Yang Feng held the wine glass and watched their performance with satisfaction.
Then he suddenly smiled again.
The six military heads quickly shut up and looked at him awkwardly.
"Then have you heard of releasing military power with a glass of wine?"
Yang Feng said with a wine glass.
The six army heads looked at each other...
"The prime minister, brothers are easy to say. As long as the prime minister says, the territory in his hands will naturally be given to him with both hands. However, the brothers are not alone. There are seven thousand old brothers who have been living and dying all the time. They just don't know how the prime minister wants to deal with them. They are all specialized in fighting, and they can't say anything else. Even if they let them get rid of their troops and return to their fields, they will eventually have a livelihood. They will definitely not be able to farm.
But if they were allowed to be incorporated into the Beijing camp, they would probably not be able to stand the military discipline of the Beijing camp."
Yang Yuan said.
He has the least army and territory under his command, so he naturally doesn't care about handing over it.
But what he said was the truth.
Of course, the army under his command could not have the discipline of the Beijing camp. In fact, these guys just blocked the road and charged for money. They all had all the five poisons, so they would not be able to cause mutiny if they were subject to the military discipline of the Beijing camp.
"This is easy to say. Speaking of which, my brothers have been fighting for the country for so many years, and they do need to make good compensation. I am the prince of Liaodong. Your Majesty has allocated tens of millions of hectares of land for me. Although they are all in Liaodong, there are also many good places. I cannot manage it now. What about a brother's land, I will give it to them directly."
Yang Feng said.
The most suitable thing for these arrogant soldiers is to release them as plantation owners.
After all, what they lack the least is force.
As for farming, of course, this is used to use various slaves, and it will be opened up on a large scale in the future. There will definitely be no shortage of this.
Moreover, these arrogant soldiers and generals are indeed not good birds. They burn, kill, loot, and can be said to be evil. This is the most suitable place in Liaodong, especially on the large plain near Kaiyuan. If they like to burn, kill, loot, then let them do it. They should treat this place as the western part of the United States, and there are not only farming, various minerals, trade, and especially grazing. Many of these guys are originally herders.
"Liaodong?"
Yang Yuan said.
Liaodong is not attractive.
"Do you think Liaodong is not good?"
Yang Feng said.
"Many of my brothers came from Liaodong."
Yang Yuan said sincerely.
This means that we all know what it looks like there.
"That's because you didn't plant the right thing."
Yang Feng said with a smile.
Yang Yuan looked at him quietly...
"Okay, even if my brothers go to help me guard the fief, not only will each person and one thousand acres of land be given a subsidy of three taels per month. Even if they are unwilling to farm, one thousand acres of land is enough to grazle. Liaodong is a good pasture. In short, this thousand acres of land are given to them. They farm when they want to farm, and grazle when they want to grazle. In addition, there are three taels of silver per month. And I will also send people to take them to teach them to grow new crops.
If they are unwilling, they will have to be assigned to militia and pay retirement funds according to the Beijing camp's retirement standards.
Those who are willing to be disciplined by the Beijing camp will be directly assigned to the Beijing camp.
As for your generals, they will also be treated as retirement treatment by the generals in the Beijing camp."
Yang Feng said.
He had to coax a group of people to the north no matter what.
"How do you deal with the land that brothers occupy?"
Yang Yuan said.
Their place was not divided before.
So many of his generals also have some land.
"The court bought it. According to the past price, we can buy it for Ueta, Nakada, and Nakada."
Yang Feng said.
To be continued...
