If you want to control the Jurchens, Mongolia must block its progress and win over and control the Mongolian tribes. The next step is to control North Korea and Dongjiang, and be able to be used by western Liaoning instead of doing their own things.

Yuan Chonghuan's eyes were cold and he had made a decision in his heart. On the road to success, he was destined to be quite difficult and would have many obstacles.

But it doesn’t matter. Over the years, there are not many people who can hinder him, and he is very confident that he can cut off all the obstacles in front of him with a sword!

Cheng Benzhi said at this time: "Yang Er, the leader of Guangning Chase, also came with me. Will the military lord want to see him?"

"Of course I have to see you." Yuan Chonghuan looked at Cheng Benzhi and said, "Why are you here to seek an official position or are the troupe of Shisanshan trying to become a master of the classics? If it is the current situation, it is impossible."

"Yang Er is a simple man. His leader mainly relies on loyalty and force." Cheng Benzhi analyzed with a smile: "This time the mission to Mongolia was not done. Yang Er felt guilty about this, but he could not affect the overall situation of Heji's conquest of Mongolia. He probably felt uneasy. He was from Guangning, and Heji was mainly from Datong. Although there were still many people in Guangning on the Thirteen Mountains, among the few people in charge, there were from Shenyang Zhongwei and Datong.

Most of the Ning people were in the middle and lower classes, and even the middle and lower classes Zhongheji sent a lot of people from Datong Xuanfu to take power. Yang Er was not stupid. He knew that he was mostly placed on a high position as a cover. Now his idea was to bring out Guangning people who were willing to go with him, and wanted to garrison along the west bank of Xiaoling River in Qiantun or Dasheng Fort and Dading Fort. He had a small appetite and said he was unwilling to ask for rewards... I think it would be almost the same to give him a garrison or Dusi."

"He is not a big appetite." Yuan Chonghuan pondered: "He felt guilty in his heart, both against the Ming Dynasty and the Heji people of Shisanshan. He was a minister of the Ming Dynasty. The power of Huji's self-reliance has been achieved. Yang Er was unwilling to follow Huji's self-reliance, or rebel in the future, otherwise he would be guilty of his always chivalrous thoughts. This is one, another, he also felt guilty towards the people of Shisanshan, fighting together, fighting bloody battles, and making food from the same pot, saying that it is a unity, and staying, and leaving if it is not, but it is impossible to have no guilt in his heart, so he does not want to be a high-ranking official, although he may have always wanted to shine his ancestors. This person is indeed a chivalrous man."

Everyone in the room nodded, and after a while, someone said quietly: "There are not many stupid people like this now."

Yuan Chonghuan said: "Call in and meet me. I will protect him as a guerrilla. His contribution is worthy. He wants to push himself and only wants to be a guard, so he will let him."

...

Yang Er has been standing under the eaves of water droplets for a long time.

In front of me were several guards wearing red tassel hats and cotton armor. Several of them were pressing their hands on their waists and staring at Yang Er with a look of defense on their faces.

Yang Er also knew that there were several very famous masters in Yuan Chonghuan's mansion, Yuan Tianchi, Yuan Tianxiang, and Yuan Shenggao. These people were all famous masters in the world.

Yuan Chonghuan entered the pass by a horse and advocated perseverance, which really touched some heroes in the world. The Yuan family is an ordinary merchant family in Dongguan, and there will be no real master guards. At most, there are a few old servants brought from their hometown, Yuan Shenggao and others. They all came to serve after Yuan Chonghuan became famous. Yang Er was also familiar with them and knew that although he stood here, Yuan Shenggao and Yuan Tianchi would definitely hide in the dark. If he had any bad actions, these old friends would definitely jump out immediately.

Yang Er doesn't care about this. His skills were first developed from fighting since childhood. He was born with great strength and a big skeleton, so it was easy to take advantage of it when fighting.

With a big guy and courage, it is easy to make a comeback. After gaining fame, he visited martial artists to practice martial arts seriously. Whether it is swords, guns, swords, halberds, or archery shooting techniques, the martial artists have both Yang Er and Yang, and they are all very outstanding.

As long as the terrain is spacious enough, Yang Er and his other men are holding their waist knife and bows and arrows, it is no problem to deal with more than a dozen.

It is not the kind of "dance" that goes high and hits people more than ten steps away with one punch, but the real killing skills, which have greater strength, faster reactions, more flexible skills, more accurate slashing and slashing, and at the same time, the arrows must also be shot quickly and accurately.

In the yard in front of him, Yang Er was sure to kill the guards in front of him, but if Yuan Tianxiang took action, it would be difficult for him to do anything.

This doesn't matter. He is not here to be an assassin.

Yang Er's heart was indeed analyzed very accurately by Yuan Chonghuan. He wanted to make achievements before, so he easily cooperated with Hutchison. At present, and at that time, Hutchison only had the power to help things on the Thirteen Mountains, it was normal for cooperation and even effective.

But now Hutchison's development has exceeded Yang Er's imagination, and even exceeded his due diligence. Hutchison has become a country, fighting east and west on the grassland, and has layouts in the areas of Shisanshan and Kuandian.

In Yang Er's view, Zhang Han's ambitions have also been exposed step by step, and it is time to make a choice.

Through the incident of Cheng Benzhi and others going to various Mongolian tribes, Yang Er saw Hutchison's expansion and aggressive ambitions, and also the reason why Yang Er made up his mind to leave.

He felt that Hutchison's ambition had reached a point that threatened the Ming Dynasty. If Hutchison really started a war with the Ming Dynasty, would he, as a member of Hutchison, whip his sword to the Ming Dynasty to achieve success, or would he resist disobey and achieve his reputation?

No matter what, there are people who are sorry...

The sky is drizzling, and it is really raining on the eaves.

Yang Er looked up at the sky. The sky was a gray scene, but the sky was still sunny in the distance, which meant that it was a sun rain. The rain was not heavy or long.

Yang Er's hat blocked his hair from being wet, but his chin became wet. Of course, it was not very comfortable, but he would rather rain harder.

Come down from the mountain and walk along the way, Liao people running back are everywhere taking care of the land.

In the first month of the year, he was attacked by the Jurchens and destroyed a lot of farmland, but there were still quite a lot of farmland intact. The Liao people who came back barely lived in a good harvest, hoping for a good harvest. However, from the weather, heavy snow in winter, less rain in spring, and drought in spring. It still rarely rained after summer, and the crops withered and yellow and shrank a lot.

It is another reduction in yield. If the weather is good in normal years, one acre of land can collect 300 to 400 kilograms of grain, remove the expenses of tax and labor rent and seed grain. A family of six can plant 30 or 50 acres of land, which is enough to maintain a living standard that is satisfactory and can also have a small savings.

In fact, before the mid-Wanli period, the written records at that time were generally low prices and the people's living standards were not bad. The opening of Longwan and sea also brought great business opportunities, the court had sufficient expenses, the local area was rich, and the people's lives were also passed.

Even now, the north is still affected by natural disasters. The natural disasters during the Little Ice Age have attracted 100% of the northerners.

Huguang also had a bumper harvest and sufficient granaries. Until the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the empire provided a steady stream of food for the empire. Not to mention the wealth of Jiangnan, until the Qing army entered the pass and Jiangnan, the scholars and officials were still indulging in luxury, and the place was still quite rich.

Most of the places in the Lianghu Lakes, Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Ming Dynasty were as calm as usual. The only turmoil was the She'an Rebellion during the Tianqi Period, which had long been pacified. The whole south was safe and prosperous, and it could be said that the weather was good.

It was such a huge empire with a stable and not trapped in wars or famines, and the local governments were still performing their normal duties. Suddenly, the national fortune came to an abrupt end. When the war burned to Jiangnan, Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Guangxi, the people in the south realized that the empire had been in ruins.

The entire western Liaoning had been severely damaged before, with a large number of villages and houses destroyed and farmland damaged. Especially the core military farm area from Ningyuan to Qiantun, Jinzhou, Xiaolinghe, Dalinghe, Dalinghe, Xiaolinghe, Dalinghe, suffered great damage. After the refugees returned, they worked hard to make up for it, but a large amount of aftermath was still not completed.

Wherever Yang Er passed by, there were still many damaged farmland and ruins that had been seen.

If the weather is good, the hardships of the Liao people can make up for a lot. Unfortunately, judging from the rain in front of them, it has almost no help to the farming industry.

What's more, it will be harvested in more than a month, and the rain will not be beautiful when it comes. However, judging from the experience over the past twenty years, the weather often goes against our wishes.

At this time, Cheng Benzhi appeared in front of the door of the room under the eaves and said to Yang Ersurong: "The Governor's Army Master is welcome."

On both sides of the eaves, two extremely burly men appeared in front of Yang Er. They stood in a solemn manner, one on the left and one on the right, and did not show hostility. They even hugged Yang Er first to show respect, but the intention of being on guard against the police was also very obvious.

"Don't worry, you two." Yang Er smiled slightly at the two former heroes of the world and said, "Yang has never dared to go against the laws of nature in his life, nor does he violate the morality of human nature. The word "loyalty and righteousness" is always in his heart. Yuan's army alone guards Ningyuan, defeating the arrogance of the old slave, and even injuring the slave chief. Yang felt that Jianlu was brutal and cruel. At this time, the man who admired the most was the good man who dared to beat Jianlu, let alone Governor Yuan's army!"

Those present felt Yang Er's sincerity, but Yuan Shenggao and Yuan Tianchi remained unshakable. Yuan Tianchi clasped his fists and said, "The responsibility is not to distrust Brother Yang."

At this time, Yuan Chonghuan suddenly appeared in front of the door, with his big red official robe dazzling. He looked at the guards around him and smiled at Yang Er and said, "Yang Yishi, I have heard of him for a long time and have never seen him. I'm lucky to meet him today!"

Yang Er's eyes were slightly condensed. For a person like him, any careful attitude is considered a humiliation. What a great man like them values ​​most is a promise. If someone expresses any distrust, the correct way should be to turn around and leave.

But he can no longer leave now. Today's trip not only represents himself, but also represents a considerable number of people who are willing to return to the Ming system. They have interests. He not only for himself, but also for those brothers who have been following him.

Once Yang Er and others made up their minds, they would be firm and strong. When the Jurchens arrived at the city of Guangning, they did not surrender to Yang Er. Later, before Bi Mazi, there were also Jurchens who secretly persuaded Yang Er to surrender, but they did not succeed. Today's humiliation in front of Yuan Chonghuan had nothing to do with fame and fortune, but just a chivalrous spirit called stupidity.

Yang Er took a deep breath and worshiped Yuan Chonghuan: "The unfilial grass people are here to return. I hope the military lord will give you a place to settle down with your subordinates. Yang is very grateful."
