Borrow the day to change the day

() "The big man will get his fame immediately, destroy the Jian captives, suppress the Mongolian Tartars, and eliminate the Haihe bandits. Give the Ming people peace!" Yan Yingyuan said in a gentle but forceful tone.

It can be seen that he didn't come here on a whim, but had thought about it before.

Being ambitious is what a man does.However, destroying Jianlu and suppressing Mongolia, this should be something that most people can think of.Behind Yan Yingyuan is the Bandits of Elimination of Haihe, which is rarely heard.Attention is now focused on the northern lands.Zhong Jinwei was a little strange, so he asked Yan Yingyuan, "Brother-in-law, I understand how to destroy Jianlu and suppress Mongolia. How do you explain this bandit from the rivers and seas?"

"Brother-in-law, you don't know that Tongzhou is the northern end of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. Ships travel from south to north to communicate with each other. Many materials, including food, need to be transported from the south. Compared with land transportation, there are great advantages in terms of load and loss, so If the river bandits are a disaster, the impact will be great, and Tongzhou can feel it."

Yan Yingyuan continued to explain to his brother-in-law, "After Tongzhou reaches Tianjinwei through the North Canal, it is very convenient to take the Haihe River to Dagu to go out to the sea. The capacity of the canal is limited, but the sea is infinite. If there are no pirates, the court will open another The ban on the sea will bring blessings to the common people.”

Unexpectedly, Yan Yingyuan's vision was farther than ordinary people's!Zhong Jinwei secretly praised him, and then questioned him: "Then how to get rid of the bandits in the river and sea?"

"There are different ways to get rid of river bandits. Most river bandits use bows and arrows to shoot each other. When they are close, they jump to gang battles. Compared with numbers, they compare bravery. And pirates, because there is no terrain restriction, are like horses on the plains, so they are more distant than long-distance. Speed."

"Then do you know the performance of Western artillery and ships?" Zhong Jinwei continued to ask, he would always fight foreign devils in the future, and he wanted to hear the opinion of this famous historical figure.

Now, Yan Yingyuan didn't answer right away, and after being silent for a while, he said: "I have seen the power of artillery, and it is indeed powerful. But I have never seen a Western ship."

Yan Yingyuan is a bit self-pitying, but it is a pity that he has studied archery since he was a child.Although there is no pressure for him to single out the musketeers now, he can still see it.It will definitely be the world of muskets in the future.

Zhong Jinwei roughly understood Yan Yingyuan's understanding of the Hehai War, and then asked Yan Yingyuan: "Then how should we fight Jianlu and Mongolian Tartars?"

"When the army is rectified, morale is boosted, all arms are properly equipped, and food, grass and armaments are safe, then neither the Jianlu nor the Mongol Tartars will be Ming's opponents." Yan Yingyuan replied without hesitation.

"It's not that easy?" "They are not three-headed and six-armed people. My Ming Dynasty has a vast land, rich resources and many people. I choose strong men to form an army, and choose good generals to rule them. They will be invincible." Yan Yingyuan said very firmly, but after finishing speaking, Sighing again, he said in a low voice: "It's just that these things are easier to know than to do, and it's very difficult for Da Ming to do."

Zhong Jinwei knew that what Yan Yingyuan said was the truth, and this point, in fact, many people of insight have realized it, but there are too few such people, and too many people are holding back, so it is difficult to change the status quo.

Zhong Jinwei thought for a while, and said to Yan Yingyuan: "Don't worry about whether you can do it or not, which way are you going to go in the future?"

"I want to wait for the repelling of the Jianlu this time to test the military Jinshi, and then take this road of serving the country with military force." Regarding this point, Yan Yingyuan had already considered it.

But what he didn't know was that in the late Ming Dynasty, no matter how capable you were, no matter how outstanding your martial arts were, if you had no one in court, or you had no money in your hands, you would never be able to become a martial artist.

There is no historical record of the reason why Yan Yingyuan remained silent in the early years of Chongzhen, and he did not have a post as a pawn until Nanming. Zhong Jinwei estimated that he was afraid that he had suffered various injustices.

Now, this situation should not happen again, because the fate of his family has completely changed due to Zhong Jinwei's time travel!

"When is the next Wu Jinshi exam?" Zhong Jinwei asked.

"Chongzhen four years." Yan Yingyuan remembered it clearly, and immediately replied.

Zhong Jinwei thought, now is the end of the second year of Chongzhen, there is still more than a year, it seems too long.I can directly recommend him to serve the country. With the influence in front of Emperor Chongzhen, I should be able to have a good position.But although my brother-in-law is capable enough, others don't know it, and if they make irresponsible remarks at that time, my brother-in-law's reputation will not be good.When Zhong Jinwei was in his later life, he often criticized those who climbed up through relationships, without considering whether the other party had real skills.

Suddenly, Zhong Jinwei remembered something and asked Yan Yingyuan, "Brother-in-law, what happened to Bai Ri talking about shooting a Jianlu Tartar?"

Yan Yingyuan was not embarrassed, but said regretfully: "A few days ago when the Tartars attacked the city, a Jianlu heavy armored white armored soldier attacked the top of the city. They were invincible, and I shot him in the eye with an arrow. It's a pity that the body was turned over. I fell under the city, and they snatched it back. Because I don’t have a head, I can’t repay the merit. But the people in the city know that this is true, so they are very polite to me.”

It was a pity for Zhong Jinwei to hear that, if he got the first rank, not to mention upgrades and the like, he would still have a lot of money.

"You are a soldier, what position?"

"No, I'm just one of the people organized by the county government, and I can be regarded as a leader." Yan Yingyuan replied.In the past period of time, he has indeed been given a lot of practice opportunities, and he has experienced the battlefield.

Zhong Jinwei went through the candidates he knew in his mind, and then said to Yan Yingyuan: "I can speak in front of the emperor, but if I recommend it directly in front of the emperor, I am afraid that others will criticize you, so I want to put you Recommend it to another person, you go to work under him, and if you get credit, I will recommend you to the position you want, how about it?"

Yan Yingyuan was really emotional. In the past, he was one of the leaders of the Shangmin Zhuang and left his name in front of the county lords, relying on his hard training for more than ten years.Now that there is a relationship, in a word, the road ahead can be given. The difference between someone and no one is really big.

Yan Yingyuan is not a pedantic person, otherwise it would be impossible to leave a name in history for being brave and resourceful, both civil and military.Immediately agreed, but there was still a little concern, and asked: "Brother-in-law, who are you recommending me to, someone with skills?"

The reason why Yan Yingyuan asked this was because he felt that if he was recommending himself to someone like Tongzhou General Soldier Yang Guodong, it would be better not to go.People who are ready to run away when they hear about Jianlu's rumors, it is impossible to get credit for him, and it is not what they want to cheat.

Zhong Jinwei understood Yan Yingyuan's meaning, smiled and said: "Don't worry, this person is a Wen Jinshi, but you may not be able to beat him."

Yan Yingyuan didn't believe it, but he didn't refute it. He just thought that his brother-in-law had never seen his own abilities.

Seeing that Yan Yingyuan didn't speak, Zhong Jinwei knew that he was silently protesting.It is really hard to believe this matter if it is replaced by ordinary people.But that man is a one-in-a-million freak.

"I know you probably won't be convinced. After you see him, you might as well discuss with him and you will know. You can also rest assured that he is a man with both civil and military skills, and he loves the people like a son. He shares weal and woe with the soldiers and is deeply loved by them Ai Dai. You will be very comfortable under his hands."

Yan Yingyuan couldn't help but wonder what kind of person that was.Are there still such people?Even Qi Jiguang, Marshal Qi, who became a god during the Jiajing period, was only from a hereditary military household.The man my brother-in-law was talking about was a Jinshi scholar, and I couldn't beat him.The more Yan Yingyuan thought about it, the more curious he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt the urge to see each other.

"What is this lord's first and last name?" Yan Yingyuan couldn't help asking in the end.

"My surname is Lu, my first name is Xiangsheng, my style name is Jiandou, and my name is Jiutai. I am currently the magistrate of the Daming Prefecture and the deputy envoy of the procurator." Zhong Jinwei introduced the freak straightforwardly.

"Here..., brother-in-law, you recommend me to go there, can you kill the Tartars?" Yan Yingyuan was a little puzzled, he was the magistrate in the Daming Mansion, and the Tartars were in the north, so he couldn't catch them.

"Don't worry, there are some Tatars to kill. He also organized Qin Wangjun to come to the capital. More than 1 people were cut directly to more than 800 people. After you go, you must perform well and strive to stand out with your own ability." Zhong Jinwei explained At the back, he got up.

"That's right, I, Yan, don't rely on relationships to make a living!" Yan Yingyuan replied decisively, with a trace of dissatisfaction that was underestimated in his words.

"Okay, then when can you leave?" Zhong Jinwei admired his confidence, and asked Yan Yingyuan about his itinerary.

"Whenever my brother-in-law returns to the capital, I will go with you." A flame began to burn in Yan Yingyuan's heart.

"I should be returning to the capital the day after tomorrow, but the Chinese New Year is about to come. Archie finally came back. Let's have a reunion together first. How about you go back to the capital with me to meet Lu Xiangsheng, and then hurry back to Tongzhou for the New Year?"

There is an old mother, wife, and children at home, Yan Yingyuan can't travel far, but now that the girl is back, someone will take care of her, and there is an Earl of Zhongxing behind her, so she is not afraid of being bullied if there is no man at home.That's why he said to go with Zhong Jinwei at any time, and now hearing what Zhong Jinwei said made sense, he agreed to come back for the New Year.

The way forward was decided, Yan Yingyuan was very excited and couldn't sleep, so he chatted with Zhong Jinwei again until dawn.
