.one. ,

Seeing Tang Ruji's intentional movement, he sighed silently and said, "Brother Siji, I came from Suzhou and regarded the people of Susong as my parents. I always wanted to repay my kindness. But now there is no way, so I can only take care of my parents' loans. I will show you the truth. The Southeast Vanguard only has about 800,000 taels of deposit. It is still difficult to use this money to pacify Quzhou, let alone to suppress the Three Nests."

Tang Ruji opened his mouth in surprise and said, "How could it be so small? Su Song alone has to pay nearly one million taels of silver every year. In addition, these are not poor provinces in Xijiang, Hu, Guang and Jiangxi. There has been no war in the past two years, so how can you not save money?

"Hehe" said silently and smiled bitterly: "I have made a lot of money and spent more, and then I have a master who has never lived. Only by saving money can I have a ghost.

.Because the state of war has never been lifted. The troops of each province remained at a very high number, and the annual burden of food, fodder and military pay made the provinces breathless. Sometimes they had to rely on the support of the Governor's Office. In addition, Hu Zongxian was always generous in spending money, and only played what he should spend, and never frowned. He didn't know what it meant to live within his means. It was not surprising that today's situation was caused.

After hearing the silent words, Tang Ruji had made up his mind, but he knew that he had to say something to death this time. Otherwise, if he came like this again, he would definitely be thrown into the Suzhou River. He mustered up his courage and said, "Sir, since you are open and honest, the official will tell you the truth. I do have 1.8 million taels of deposit in my place. I originally planned to use it to share shares with local stocks and open a business in Nanyang."

"Ah?. It was the turn of Chen Si to be surprised and said, "Why don't I know about this?"

"Tang Ruji, who had planned to report to the adults carefully, quickly explained: "For such a big thing, how dare you not let the adults agree?

"Tell me briefly what you plan." Chen Si said with interest.

Seeing that the adults were in high spirits, Tang Ruji was also very happy and said, "That's right. Many of our maritime merchants reported that Franchise people established strongholds in Nanyang, short selling and short selling to raise prices, which led to a sharp decline in income in the past two years. I hope to join the joint venture with us and establish our Ming Dynasty business in Luzon. We will collect and sell ourselves, so that they will not make this profit."

Chen Shi knew that Tang Ruji was still very capable, and he only let go of his hands and feet and would definitely be able to do something. He nodded in praise and said, "This is a good thing. We will discuss it carefully in the future and we must do it.

Seeing that his first proposal after surrendering to him received a warm response from the Lord, Tang Ruji was very excited and patted his chest and said, "That two million taels will be covered by me, please don't worry."

"Then the Governor of Jiangbei will not fall on others." Silent and said happily: "Please rest assured, too."

"But" Tang Ruji was happy, but he didn't forget his original intention and whispered: "This year's hurdle has passed, and Su Songbei can't let him come out again next year. "I promise you a silent nod and said, "There will be no such burden next year."

Tang Ruji nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, the outside world reported that Liu Xian arrived, Tang Ruji stood up and said, "Sir, talk to General Liu, the official will leave first.

He stood up silently and sent him to the door, looking at his hurriedly leaving. Although this person often flattered, he proved that his ideas were equally strong. In this world, it was really hard for people who could not make it this way, so he could not blame him completely. Just take advantage of his advantages.

One by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one

Liu Xian has arrived. He is fifty years old this year and has a gray beard. He looks older than his actual age, but his face is majestic, with a tiger back and a bear waist, and a military uniform tightly dressed in a military uniform. No one dares to underestimate the old general.

When treating Liu Xian, Shuxian seemed to be intimate and respectful. Not only did he take the initiative to greet him, but he also invited him to sit down. He also ordered someone to make good tea, but Liu Xian had been ups and downs. He dared not be a little arrogant. He insisted on sitting in the silence, and the two sat and talked across a coffee table.

After asking about his well-being, Liu Xian took the initiative to ask: "I don't know what the Lord calls the officials to come?"

"Alas, the cabinet has repeatedly urged and ordered the officials to organize the three camps to suppress the three camps and said silently: "But to be honest, I have a dark look at Gan and Guangdong, and I only know that I am in the news of the court. "I heard that Couple Cao is from Jiangxi, so I invited you here and ask for details."

"I've asked the right person. I'll be from Nanchang, Jiangxi Province." Liu Xian smiled.

"Which guard is from?" Chen Si asked casually. For the generals, the guard office is their hometown. For example, Qi Jiguang is from Dengzhou guard and Yu Dazhu is from Quanzhou guard, so he asked this question.

But Liu Xian's face turned dim after hearing this and whispered: "The last general is not a hereditary military household."

"Oh?" Chen Si said in surprise: "That's so amazing. Once Qi Jiguang joined the army, he was a fourth-rank command company. Yu Daxian also started working from a hundred households. It was very unfavorable for those who joined the army halfway. However, Liu Xian actually worked as the left governor general officer earlier than both of them. This was a rapid rise. He said in great interest: "Is it convenient to tell me about your experience?"

Liu Xian didn't realize there was anything to be proud of, and said a little lowly: "I read the scriptures less and understood the meaning of the text. Later, my family was poor and out of stock, and I couldn't eat enough to live in the temple, and I was scolded all day long. I wanted to die.

Listening to his magical experience in silence, he couldn't help but sigh: "This is a god." He believed in God, otherwise he would not have come to this world. He just didn't have such a good life and could confide his secrets to others.

"The monk in the temple also said this. Liu Xian smiled gratefully and said, "So I am determined not to die, because I am born with a strong force and can dance guns and sticks. That year, I signed up to participate, and passed the pass and killed the generals, and won the second place in the martial arts. Later, I was awarded the title of the fourth place." Chengdu Wei Baihu, followed the governor Zhang Zhongcheng to attack the Miao Ran in Yibin, and joined the army to trap the battle. He killed more than 50 people in one round, captured three evil people, and the army continued to advance. The thieves were all sanctioned in one battle.

"I was appreciated by Master Zhongcheng and promoted me to Deputy Qianhu. Later, I followed him to serve as governor of Guangdong, suppressing bandits in Guangdong, resisting hukou, and promoted merits to command the entire matter. I was valued by Zhang Jing, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi at that time, and brought my subordinates to Xijiang to serve as deputy general. Everyone knows what happened later."

Chen Yuxia praised: "Couple Cao is both civil and military, and has made many military achievements. He is a brave general of Confucian general. He will definitely be famous in history a hundred years later, and will be proud of his descendants.

"Oh," Liu Xianyong sighed: "It's just a matter of resting and making a living. The children and grandchildren don't blame me. Just choose this Qiubalu for them.

"The generals of the past few years are indeed not normal and silent and said seriously: "But with the victory of the Anti-Lu, your name has spread all over the country, making people respect it again." He said in a deep voice: "If a country wants to prosper, it is impossible to do without the spirit of martial arts. At the beginning of our country, we will wipe out the eight deserts and build a powerful country in a world-class manner, relying on this spirit of martial arts!"

"At that time, the status of military officers was much higher than that of now, Liu Xianyouran said intrigue: "Only one of the 36 Dukes and Marquises of the founding country was a civil servant. At that time, the military officers were superior, and the civil servants were there." After saying this, he realized that he had lost his words and quickly changed his words: "That is obviously wrong, so suppressing martial arts and valuing literature in recent years is more conducive to national stability.

"It is wrong to suppress martial arts and emphasize literature. The country will be too weak and it will inevitably repeat the mistakes of the Song Dynasty; but military generals cannot control military power, otherwise the tragedy of the collapse of the prosperous Tang Dynasty may repeat.

.Silently smiled and said, "I was wondering if there is a way to allow civil servants to control military power without interfering with the military generals' practice of combat, and at the same time greatly improve the status of the army and soldiers. This is the best medicine to cure the serious disease.

Liu Xian heard this and said with a gaze: "If this is true, I will die in peace."

"That's what you said." Silently laughed: "You have to live well. Without you, Confucian generals and heroes, any change will be empty talk.

"For the sake of adults, Liu Xian said passionately: "I have to live two more years."

"Haha, that's right, drink tea, drink tea," silently greeted him enthusiastically.

One by one factory, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by

A seemingly insignificant conversation brought the relationship between the two very close. This was not only the silence, but also Liu Xian showed strong communication skills.

After drinking a few sips of tea, the silence finally returned to the main topic: "Why is it difficult to pacify the three-nosed rebellion at the intersection of Jiangxi and Guangdong for many years?"

"Oh," Liu Xian said with lingering fear: "The so-called "losing the three nests of Guangdong" actually refers to a place with Guangdong Peace, Longnan and Dingnan counties as the corners of the three counties in Jiangxi, with a radius of 800 miles. There are poor mountains and bad waters that are all troubled. The terrain is extremely dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It has always been a place where thieves have always been rebels. He sighed and said, "Not to say that there are far away, just say that during the Zhengde period fifty years ago, there were rebellions in southern Jiangxi, and the mountainous areas on the junction of southern Jiangxi and Fujian and Guangdong. The rebels rely on the mountains. The land was built in the cave and built its own army, which was nearly a thousand miles in a radius. Local officials were unable to suppress it for a long time. Later, the imperial court sent Yangming Gong to govern Zhang Ning, Gannan, and was in charge of Ganzhou to suppress the bandits. It took the power of nine oxen and two tigers to suppress it. However, it was inevitable that the corpses were everywhere, and the murder pits from that year remained there. When they heard that this was a headache for Wang Yangming, they felt that the problem was more difficult, and asked in a low voice: "Is it the same place this time?"

"Yes, Dingnan County and Heping County, these are all county seats that Yangming Gong requested to establish." Liu Xian said: "Now you understand why this rebellion occurred, why has it lasted for so many years, and why is the fighting power of the rebels so strong, right?"

"Well," Chen silently nodded. It was a land full of hatred for the court. Although that generation was dead, their children and grandchildren would not forget the hatred of the past. Once they had the opportunity and were touched, they would expose amazing destructive power. They would build troops, build camps, and lean on the mountains that were easy to defend and difficult to attack. They would attack the government one after another, and the father would die and the son would not hesitate at all.

"If Yangming Gong could work there for a few more years, there might not be today's rebellion Liu Xian sighed: "But he was quickly transferred from southern Ganzhou. The hatred had not yet been resolved, and it turned into a seed. It finally exploded ten years ago. Li Wenbiao, Lai Qinggui, Xie Yunzhang, etc. were no different from the Lan Tianfeng and Xie Zhishan back then. Xie Yunzhang was still Xie Zhizhi's posthumous son. He escaped the whole family and came to harm the court again.

"Standing from someone's perspective" I felt the atmosphere was really depressed, and I pretended to be relaxed: "That is avenging my father."

"Yes, Liu Xian nodded and said, "These little people are just taking revenge and gathering their subordinates, and they are not bullying them... I am ashamed of the fact that when the officials were in Guangdong, they sighed to Li Mizhi of Mugang. Although they had never lost their achievements, they did not do anything to them. Unexpectedly, these years have passed and they have become more and more intense and have occupied Guangdong Peace. "Fifteen counties including Xingning and Longnan, Xinfeng, and Anyuan in Jiangxi have already far more and more powerful than the Zhengde period."

"Yes, the court would not allow them to show off at that time." A wry smiled at the corner of his silent mouth: "But we let the hukou make trouble and have to fight against foreign countries first and then settle the country. Naturally, they will not be polite. Why don't you put all your efforts into the territory?"

Liu Xian nodded and said, "So the memorial presented by General Hu before leaving office, "The soldiers are not 300,000, and silvers are not 1 million taels. It is never an exaggeration to say."

After hearing Liu Xian's words, he stood up silently and walked around. After thinking for a while, he stopped and said, "If I meet these two conditions, can you pacify the three nests?"

"The lower officials are military generals, so how can they stand alone?" Liu Xian spread his hands and said, "At most, they are vanguard officials, who can open roads and bridges across mountains and rivers, but the candidates for this great commander must be taken as civil servants."

Chen Si knew that what he was saying was the truth, and now it was not the time to change these things, he asked softly: "Then do you think, who is the right one?"

"The officials who are inferior to the emperor do not avoid relatives.

"Liu Xian and Tang Ruji's heroes had similar views, but he recommended not himself, but his benefactor, and said: "The current governor of Guangdong, Zhang Zhongcheng, whose courtesy name is Zhengye and his pseudonym Baichuan, was a Jinshi in Jiajing, only one post later than Xu Ge Lao, and was a military commander. He has been a military commander for a long time. He has been in charge of the imperial court several times and has made great achievements in combat. Among them, he quelled the Miao rebellion in Yibin, pacified the Hunan rebellion in Chu, and this year, pacified the pirates in Guangdong. He fought very beautifully." Speaking of this, Liu He looked proud, as if he was happier than he won the battle himself. But when he thought of the experience of the benefactor over the years, he couldn't laugh and said in a low voice: "More than ten years ago, he was appointed as the Minister of War. However, he was later implicated by Li Mo and was demoted to the position of governor of Guangdong. He did not slacken at all. He organized a fight in Guangdong and won dozens of victories. At the same time, he wiped out the pirates entrenched in the sea and land areas and bandits in the inland areas, causing a rare stability in Guangdong."

"In the correspondence with Xiaguan, the old man hated the Three Cangs rebellion, but because they cunned rabbits and their main territory was in Jiangxi, the effect of the Guangdong-based suppression alone was achieved." Liu Xian said, "Xiaguan dared to guarantee that there is no more suitable candidate for the Governor of Jiangxi and Guangdong than for the Governor of Jiangxi and Guangdong. As long as you choose him, it is no problem to pacify the Three Cangs!"

"Is he even better than Yangming Gong?" asked with a silent smile.

"I dare not say that." Liu Xian smiled and said proudly: "But the current army is much stronger than the time of Yangming Gong back then." After the tempering of the War of Resistance Against the White House, there are strong troops in any province that can fight. It is indeed not comparable to the Zhengde period when the military preparations lasted for a long time and were loose.

"Haha, that's right." Chen Si smiled and said, "In that case, I must meet the legendary Mr. Zhang."

"You are so proud of this wise decision." Liu Xian praised: "You will be proud of this wise decision."

"Haha, I hope that's the case." Chen smiled and said, "Is he Hangzhou now?"

"Here." Liu Xian nodded and said, "I was recruited by the Grand Marshal last month, but now you haven't let it go, so I've been waiting in the inn."

"Then please invite him to come and talk." After Chen Si said, "Forget it, I'd better go there in person. How can I let the old senior come to see me?"

Liu Xian was very happy to say this to Chen Mo, so he took him to the official post on the bank of West Lake and saw the old middle-aged man Zhang Zhang's table with Xu Jibai.

Zhang Table felt very helpful for Chen Si to visit in person, and he was very intimate in his words. Chen Si also had a good impression of this old man who was handsome, steady and had a great general style. So the two sides began to exchange views on the situation in Lunnan with a happy mood.

Through the conversation, Liu Xian found that Liu Xian was not lying. The old man was very familiar with military affairs and knew the situation of Sanchao. He even made several sets of battle plans. Obviously, he had long regarded the other party as an imaginary enemy.

Chen Si was very satisfied with the result of the conversation. What made him even happier was that he only needed 500,000 taels of silver to win the table, which undoubtedly made the stretched Southeast Finance breathe a sigh of relief.

After returning, Chen Si thought about it and consulted several governors and generals, all of whom said that Zhang Zhongcheng was the best candidate. So he made up his mind to recommend Zhang Cha to the court as the governor of Ganzhou and Guangdong. After explaining his reasons, he rushed to the capital for 800 miles.

Perhaps it was because Zhang Table's qualification was too strong, or perhaps it was because the pressure of Sanchao's rebellion was too great. Five days later, an imperial edict came back and appointed Zhang Gao as the governor of the Left Censor Gan Yue.

The silence in the room also opened the vassal treasury, prepared the food, fodder and military pay, and allocated several famous generals such as Liu Xian, Yu Dazhuo, Guo Cheng, and 100,000 soldiers who had fought for a long time. They were all under the command of Zhang Gao and ordered him to lead his army south to attack the rebels of the Three Chains.

The monthly tickets for monthly tickets are only one-third of the usual level. A shameful month is unforgettable, I don’t want to lose like this anymore.
