Zhang Ruoqi, director of the Staff Department of the Ministry of War, made comments about Yang Zhen, which soon spread like wildfire in Songshan City.

Zhang Ruoqi's evaluation of Yang Zhen made all the soldiers in the advance battalion jump for joy.

Especially those who were born in Dongjiang Town in the early years, such as Qiu Zhenhai, Yu Liangtai and their subordinates, after many years, everyone was excited when they heard the comments made by the officials of the Imperial Military Department about Dongjiang Mao Shuai.

As soon as they landed ashore, they heard the rumors in Songshan City. Although these rumors had dissipated a lot with Yang Zhen's return, they still caused pressure on Qiu Zhenhai and Yu Liangtai's subordinates.

They had just followed Yang Zhen, the regimental training commander, and transferred to the Ming Dynasty official army camp. If Yang Zhen fell as soon as they came here, wouldn't their end be miserable?

Fortunately, the imperial envoy Zhang Ruoqi, an official from the Imperial Ministry of War, immediately dispelled the worries of the generals and subordinates with his comments about Yang Zhen.

If Yang Zhen's attack behind enemy lines this time is comparable to the Dao Commander's surprise attack on Zhenjiang, then there will be no problem. Then we can wait for the court to reward him according to the old practice. At least Yang Zhen will not be held responsible for the unauthorized attack.

!

Including the various officers and soldiers in Songshan City, after learning about the evaluation of Yang Zhen by Zhang Ruoqi, the imperial envoy of the Ministry of War, they all began to have to re-recognize Yang Zhen's status as the regiment's chief training soldier, as well as their relationship with Yang Zhen.

You must know that when Zhang Ruoqi, the imperial envoy of the Ministry of War, evaluated Yang Zhen in this way, Fang Yizao, the governor of Liaodong, and Yang Chaojin, the chief minister of rites, were both present, and neither of them expressed any objection, which means that they all agreed with this evaluation.

Songshan Counselor Lu Pinqi secretly called luck again and was glad that he had made the right choice.

Songshan Lieutenant General Xia Chengde finally gave up his last illusion and realized that Yang Zhen's position was unshakable. He was worried about whether he should find an opportunity to apologize to Yang Zhen and take the initiative to take the responsibility for leaking the news in exchange for Yang Zhen's favor.

understanding.

Zhang Ruoqi's words, head of the Staff Department of the Ministry of War, invisibly raised Yang Zhen's status in the Songshan army to a whole new level.

However, Yang Zhen was the only one who was worried. He was worried that if Zhang Ruoqi came to Liaoxi and praised himself so highly this time, he would become a big star and attract unnecessary trouble to himself.

He originally wanted to sneak into the village quietly and shoot, but the cat was hiding its capabilities and biding its time in the small town of Songshan, immersing itself in development, and continuing to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger. But after Zhang Ruoqi did this, he couldn't pretend anymore.

In the afternoon of the same day, Yang Zhen and others accompanied Zhang Ruoqi, the head of the Staff Department of the Ministry of War, Yang Chaojin, the director of the department of rites, and Fang Yizao, the governor of Liaodong, to see with their own eyes the captured Tatar heads.

In particular, they inspected the heads of the Tatar clan Gushan Beizi Boluo, as well as Xu Erxian, Zhangkushan, Dandai, Boshuodai and other Tatars above Zhangjing, and inspected the heads of Tatar clan officials above Zhangjing, and inspected the heads of the Tatar clan who had been taken from behind enemy lines by Yang Zhen and others.

The two Tartars who had not yet cut off their money rat tails were brought back.

At the same time, in order to satisfy Zhang Ruoqi's endless curiosity, Yang Zhen accompanied them to the Queen's Palace and toured the area around the mouth of the Xiaoling River. They boarded a boat to land on the island and looked at the pier on the sandbank of the hand camp at the mouth of the Xiaoling River.

Camp and granary.

It wasn't until nightfall, when the banquet hosted by Yang Zhen for their group in the General Military Mansion ended, that the drunken Zhang Ruoqi finally calmed down and finally returned to the inner courtyard of the General Military Mansion to rest.

Yang Chaojin, the eunuch and eunuch in charge of etiquette, who was good at observing words and expressions, saw that Governor Fang Yizao did not drink at all and remained stable until the end, so he knew that Governor Fang must have something to say to Yang Zhen.

Therefore, not long after Zhang Ruoqi left, Yang Chaojin excused himself from traveling and was tired, and left to rest at his hotel in the inner courtyard.

It was only at this time that Liaodong Governor Fang Yizao dismissed the accompanying officials and generals, leaving only Yang Zhen and his son Fang Guangchen talking in the official room of the second courtyard of the General Military Mansion.

"My nephew, you must have done a good job this time! Master Zhang, the staff director of the Ministry of War, speaks highly of you, which is also a good thing!"

After Zhang Ruoqi, Yang Chaojin and others left, Fang Yizao, the governor of Liaodong, seemed to be suddenly resurrected and soon became energetic.

"Although Chief Zhang's rank is not high, his words carry a lot of weight. He is a literary talent that Chen Benbing relies on very much. With his mouth and pen, he is extremely sharp, whether in various departments of the Ministry of War or in the court.

figure!

"It will be good for us to have his help this time. With Chief Zhang waving flags and shouting for us in the court, your achievements will go straight to the heavens. The two people in Shanhaiguan can't bury them even if they want to!"

Having said this, Fang Yizao paused and looked at Yang Zhen for a moment, his face gradually becoming serious without even a trace of smile.

When Yang Zhen saw this, he felt uneasy. He knew that he led his troops to leave Songshan without permission and did not report it, which still left Fang Yizao with a knot in his heart.

Yang Zhenzheng was thinking about how to explain when he heard Fang Yizao say: "You are the commander-in-chief of Songshan. Of course, you are in charge of the military affairs in Songshan City! But I am the governor of Liaodong. Shouldn't you report something to me?!

"

When Yang Zhen heard that Fang Yizao really cared about this issue, he immediately left his seat, stood up and was about to kneel down to salute. At this moment, Fang Yizao stopped him and continued:

"It's not that I want to find fault with you. After all, the ancients said that if a king is not secretive, his ministers will lose; if a minister is not secretive, he will lose himself; if a few things are not secretive, it will harm his success. Therefore, a gentleman is cautious and does not go out. This

How can I not understand the truth?!

"However, you have to know that although there are countless fierce generals in Liaodong, who can I trust? It must be you! Similarly, outside Songshan, who can you, Yang Zhen, trust?! Only I and his son!"

When Fang Yizao said these words, although his expression was stern, his expression was full of sincerity. After saying these words, he looked at Yang Zhen, his face softened, and asked: "These words I said,

Do you understand what it means?!"

"I understand! Brother Ting Xian, I have explained the pros and cons to Beizi! As the new commander-in-chief, Beizi was a little complacent and negligent! I thank Uncle Shi for his help and shoulder the responsibility for Beizi!"

After Yang Zhen said this, he still knelt down on one knee and saluted Fang Yizao.

After hearing what Yang Zhen said, Fang Yizao quietly watched what Yang Zhen did. He sat there in silence for a long time, wondering what he was thinking, which made Yang Zhen feel nervous.

Originally, Yang Zhen thought that he had no special needs for Fang Yizao, but after this time, he suddenly discovered that who was in the position of governor of Liaodong was too important to him.

Sitting in this position alone, sugar may not necessarily be sweet, but vinegar must be sour. In other words, it may not be able to help you, but it would be too easy to harm you.

At present, Fang Yizao is in this position and cannot help him much, but at least it will not ruin his affairs, so Yang Zhen cannot do without the support of the governor of Liaodong.

Yang Zhen was nervous and silent. After a while, he heard Fang Guangchen, who was standing next to Fang Yizao, suddenly speak: "Father, my son has already told Brother Han Qing about the joints! Things are going well now.

There is no need to mention those unpleasant things anymore!"

When Fang Yizao heard what Fang Guangchen said, he first sighed, and then said to Yang Zhen: "Xian Qing's nephew, you are still too young! Did you know that Governor Hong has arrived at Shanhaiguan?! Then, what do you think about Governor Hong?

Once the master arrives in Ningyuan City, will he continue to use you?! No!

"Director Hong has brought a large number of arrogant soldiers and generals with outstanding military exploits from Guanli, and now he is worried that he has nowhere to place them! Do you think Zuzong Town will make room for the proud soldiers and generals brought by Commander Hong?!

I tell you, no!

"Then, why didn't Governor Hong just leave the customs and go directly to Ningyuan to take charge? I tell you, it's because I have been careful since I came to Liaodong, walking on thin ice, and I didn't do a single thing wrong!"

Having said this, Fang Yizao looked at Yang Zhen and saw that Yang Zhen had been listening carefully. He felt a little relieved, sighed, and continued:

"In Shanhaiguan and in the capital court, I don't know how many people are staring at me right now! If I make a wrong step on my errand, Governor Hong will have an excuse to come to Ningyuan!

"At that time, I will of course step aside, and may even have no choice but to leave Liaodong sadly, but what about you?! My nephew of Han Qing, you have to reflect on yourself, and don't do those things that make your relatives and enemies angry.

It’s something!”

After saying these words, Fang Yizao seemed to have vented his anger. He picked up the herbal tea in the room and rinsed his mouth. Seeing that Yang Zhen did not contradict him and did not dare to refute anything, he knew that he had clearly understood the pros and cons, so in the end

said:

"Well, I see that you, the virtuous nephew of Han Qing, have always gotten along well with my eldest son Guangchen. Now that something has happened, I will ask him to come to your Songshan City to help you!

"If you have any plans, no matter how big or small, you can report them directly to me through my eldest son! In this way, Ningyuan and Songshan will work together, and things like this will never happen again in the future!
Chapter completed!
