~~~~~~
When Li Yuanqing was reborn in the Ming Dynasty, it was the beginning of the first year of Tianqi, and at this time, it was only March of the sixth year of Tianqi.
But ~~, in just six years, from Xiong Tingbi, Yuan Yingtai, Wang Zaijin, to later Sun Chengzong, and now to Gao Di, Ming Dynasty's Liaodong manager has changed five people.
It is nothing more than "the king's flag changes at the top of the city".
At that time, Wang Huazhen, although not a manager, was the governor of Liaodong and a well-known official.
But after Xiong Tingbi was reported to Jiubian, Wang Zaijin was also imprisoned because of previous conflicts with Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Yingtai, which led to the fall of Shenyang and Liaoyang.
Since then, the position of governor of Liaodong has been vacant, and it has not been established again until now.
This also made Liaodong Jinglue become the highest civilian commander in the Liao region worthy of the name. Now, with the addition of Jizhen, he became Jiliao Jinglue, and his power was even greater than before.
According to ordinary logic, Gao San was a veteran of the third dynasty, and he had the support of the eunuch clique in the court. Considering all aspects, his control of the overall situation in Liao should be as simple as picking something out of a bag.
such a pity.
The reincarnation of heaven and earth has countless causes and effects.
Although Sun Chengzong stabilized the overall situation in the Liao region, especially in western Liaoning, his legacy - especially the 'merger' of Guan Ning's generals and the civil servant group in western Liaoning - was something Sun Chengzong never dreamed of.
Not to mention, there is an ‘odd number’ like Governor Yuan!
At this time, although Gao Di's words were still a bit implicit, the meaning was already very clear. He wanted to force Li Yuanqing to express his stance and stand on the opposite side of the entire western Liaoning!
But even if he was the manager of Ji Liao, how could Li Yuanqing handle this kind of thing easily?
Seeing that dense beads of sweat had begun to form on Li Yuanqing's forehead, Gao Di felt very nervous.
As an "old oil man" and a veteran of three dynasties, to a large extent, Gaudi actually did not want this "hot yam" of Ji Liao's strategy.
With his years of experience as an official, how could he not see that this place in Liao Di was completely like a volcanic crater!
As long as good people come here, it will be difficult for them to come back alive.
Not to mention, he is an old man.
Even after the Jin army attacked this time, Gao Di never expected that Governor Yuan and Li Yuanqing's "cooperation" could actually hold Ningyuan City and even make the old slave faint from anger.
Otherwise, how could he have fled to Shanhaiguan in a hurry and given up on this huge achievement?
But at this time, the mistake has been made, and he must make up for it as soon as possible.
At least, he must give an explanation to the imperial court, Eunuch Wei, and the eunuchs.
It's a pity that after the Battle of Ningyuan, Governor Yuan's influence on Ningyuan City, including the entire western Liaoning, became even greater. And he, Gao Di, was saddled with the notorious "escape minister", so how could he possibly intervene in Ningyuan? Vested interest groups in the city?
After thinking about it, Gaudí realized that the only person who could break the situation was the young man in front of him, who was a bit shameless, but was the most popular person in the Ming Dynasty.
Time seemed to be frozen.
Li Yuanqing and Gao Di had been silent for almost five minutes.
Even Gao Di began to sweat in his palms.
Although Eunuch Wei was the foundation and support, he was the one who made the mistake after all. Gao Di was not sure at all whether the popular young man in front of him would buy his credit.
At this time, Li Yuanqing slowly shook his tense neck, making a "click" sound, looked at Gao Di, and said hoarsely: "My soldier, I'm afraid this matter will not be easy to handle..."
"Um?"
Gao Yi was stunned, but for a moment, he raised his heart in his throat, but suddenly put it back in his stomach.
Now that Li Yuanqing has spoken, then~~ this matter is not without room for negotiation, especially listening to Li Yuanqing's words, he also has the intention to continue the discussion.
Gaudi has lived a long life and has been able to survive until now. He is indeed timid and confused about some things, but how could he be confused about this kind of thing?
"Yuan Qing, I also know that this matter is indeed difficult to handle. But~, it depends on people! As long as you can help me, I will be sure to get through this difficulty!"
Gao Di said and suddenly smiled: "Of course, Yuan Qing, I will never let you help me in vain. If it comes to fruition, I can now make the decision on Changsheng Island's food and salary, and add an additional three hundred thousand taels!"
"Well?"
Even Li Yuanqing, who had already prepared, was shocked by Gao Di's proposal.
Three hundred thousand taels, this is not a small amount!
Especially, this is the imperial court’s military pay! Li Yuanqing doesn’t need to worry about anything!
With Gao Di's status at this time, if he wants to do this, it is just a matter of effort...
"My soldier, this matter..."
Just when Li Yuanqing was about to speak, Gao Di thought that Li Yuanqing was still refusing, so he hurriedly said: "Yuanqing, four hundred thousand taels. This is my bottom line, no more. If possible, I will give you fifty more good horses! And!
Guaranteed to pay before the end of the month.”
"..."
Li Yuanqing looked at Gao Di's fat face and suddenly felt that this old man seemed not so annoying anymore.
Taking a deep breath, Li Yuanqing said slowly: "My soldier, if you want to resolve this matter, it is actually not too difficult."
"oh?"
Gao Di's eyes couldn't help but light up: "Yuan Qing, I am all ears."
Li Yuanqing smiled, but did not speak in a hurry. Instead, he picked up the teapot on the table next to him, poured a cup of hot tea, and took a slow sip.
Gao Di kept his eyes fixed on Li Yuanqing, fearing that half of Li Yuanqing's movements would be revealed. But at this time, looking at Li Yuanqing's appearance, he suddenly realized that he was a little anxious!
If Li Yuanqing opens his mouth again, it will be difficult for him to handle this matter!
Although the expression on Gaudi's face was pretending to be calm, the fleeting hint of guilt in his eyes did not escape Li Yuanqing's eyes.
Four hundred thousand taels of silver, plus fifty good horses, is indeed not a small amount~, but to the Liaoxi Group, it is just a drop in the bucket.
If Li Yuanqing continues to push, I'm afraid Gao Di will have no choice but to accept it.
But Li Yuanqing understood even more clearly that these silvers were all from Liaoxi Province. Four hundred thousand taels was not a small amount. If it were more, even if Gao Di could take over, the subsequent troubles would probably be endless.
Eaters have short mouths, and takers have short hands.
If Gao Di's ability really exceeded the 'line', then~~ Li Yuanqing would have no choice but to fight to the death with Governor Yuan.
At this time, Li Yuanqing slowly put down his tea cup and said with a faint smile: "My soldier, this matter is actually just a matter of name. In the battle of Ningyuan, it is true that the Jin army mainly besieged Ningyuan City, but its main battlefield was in
Juehua Island. Without the ice-breaking battle on Juehua Island, the main force of the Later Jin Army would not have suffered such great damage. Based on my humble guess, the old slave's coma was probably due to the battle on Juehua Island, which caused him to be so angry.
ah!"
How shrewd Gaudí was?
Although Li Yuanqing's words were extremely reserved, in an instant, he understood what Li Yuanqing meant and couldn't help laughing: "Yuan Qing, how clever! How clever! Why didn't I think of this!"
As he said this, he personally refilled Li Yuanqing's teacup with some tea, "Yuanqing, don't worry. I will handle this matter and I will never make it difficult for you. The imperial court's annual salary for this year should arrive in the next few days.
Shanhaiguan is closed, I promise to handle the matter properly!"
But Li Yuanqing smiled: "My soldier, a wise man does not speak secretly. I will get this silver and horses in the middle of the month."
"Uh? This..."
Gao Yi was stunned and could not help but frown tightly.
Li Yuanqing smiled: "Don't worry, Mr. Ge. The clipper from Changsheng Island will arrive at Shanhaiguan on time within seven days."
After a long while, Gao Di couldn't help but smile and nodded slowly. It's no wonder that Li Yuanqing was able to survive here at such a young age!
This young man is simply much more sophisticated than the old man like him!
"Yuan Qing, don't worry. This matter will be resolved within ten days!"
…………
After walking out of the inn where Gao Di was staying, Li Yuanqing took out his pocket watch and took a look. It was exactly a quarter past nine.
Niu Gensheng and a group of soldiers quickly gathered around him. Niu Gensheng said in a low voice: "General, someone from the official hall just came over to send a message. I hope the general can go and try Master Yuan's new tea when he is free."
Li Yuanqing nodded slowly, "Let's go back to the inn first."
"yes!"
A group of soldiers hurriedly protected Li Yuanqing and quickly returned to the inn where he was staying.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the inn, Mangui's familiar raccoon horse appeared in Li Yuanqing's sight.
In the lobby of the inn, dozens of soldiers on both sides were drinking with him, and everyone was in high spirits.
Li Yuanqing had a wry smile. He, the eldest brother, was really... really open-minded.
However, if Man Gui was not of such a straightforward nature, it would be difficult for Li Yuanqing to have such a heart-to-heart relationship with him.
Thinking about it, Li Yuanqing strode into the inn and said with a smile: "Brother, you are drinking and you don't wait for me?"
"Um?"
Mangui was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Li Yuanqing clearly for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh: "Yuanqing, you are back. These boys are not good! They are not as happy as our brothers! Come on! Have a drink first!"
Mangui picked up a new wine bowl with his own hands and poured wine for Li Yuanqing.
