Chapter 301 Yu Shangyou's Wisdom
On this day, Zhang Cheng entered the palace and saw the current emperor returning. It seemed that Emperor Chongzhen's spirit was not good, he looked very sluggish, and he talked a lot less than when Zhang Cheng entered the palace last time.

Zhang Cheng followed Yang Sichang slowly towards the outside of the palace. Yang Sichang said to Zhang Cheng at this time: "Loyalty, the emperor has been worrying about the bandits these days, and he is particularly concerned about your training of the new army. You can't call him the emperor." Disappointed."

Zhang Cheng followed closely behind Yang Sichang, and said: "Please rest assured, Mr. Yang Ge, Zhang Cheng will do his best to strive to become a strong team as soon as possible, so as to share the worries of the emperor, and share the worries of Mr. Yang Ge!"

"Just now in front of the emperor, you didn't get entangled in money, food and military equipment, which is very good. Now that the imperial court's finances are tight, it is indeed unable to afford the funds for the towns to recruit and train soldiers."

Yang Sichang said that he paused for a while, then he took a few steps forward, breathed a sigh of relief before continuing: "It's very good that you can understand the emperor's difficulties, unlike some people who only know how to ask for money and don't know the court's intentions at all. difficulties."

Zhang Cheng is very well-behaved, he said softly: "Zhang Cheng is able to have what he is today, thanks to the support of the old man, he should try his best to share the worries of the old man, how can we make the old man difficult."

"Well, I also know that it is difficult for you to do. I will write another book and ask Chen Xinjia to give priority to ensuring your recruitment and training needs."

Yang Sichang stopped at this point, looked at Zhang Cheng and said: "Don't stick to regulations, those who embezzle state funds and occupy farmland can be dealt with boldly.

You can raise funds in the entire North Road for the shortage of recruiting and training. If there is still a shortage, you can ask Chen Xinjia and Liu Yongzha to arrange it for you. Your Majesty has very high expectations for you. I will ask you later The emperor said that you are allowed to supervise the entire North Road border as a general. "

Zhang Cheng was startled when he heard the words, but he immediately recovered. With a look of gratitude, he bowed slightly and thanked him: "Mr. Yang Ge's love for Zhang Cheng is true, and there is really nothing to repay him. Mr. Ge has an order." , go through fire and water, and will not hesitate!"

Yang Sichang smiled and nodded, turned around and continued to walk outside the palace, saying: "If all the generals in my court can be as loyal and diligent to the king's affairs as you are, why should I be afraid of bandits making trouble and barbarians wreaking havoc.

Loyalty, five thousand is just a number when it comes to recruiting brave men. What the emperor and I mean is that the more the better, first train a strong army of five thousand, and then recruit new brave men to continue training for the country. "

"Yes, Zhang Cheng will never fail to live up to the emperor's expectations and the kindness of Yang Ge's cultivation." Zhang Cheng said in a very firm tone.

The two of them walked and chatted to the outside of Zuoshun Gate. Yang Sichang stopped and said to Zhang Cheng full of expectations: "Loyalty, now that the bandits are rebelling, and the rebels have also left Shangluo Mountain. When using troops,

You should not linger in the capital, turn back to the North Road as soon as possible, and train a powerful army as soon as possible to repay the country's favor. If there are insufficient soldiers, you can draw them yourself from the guards on the North Road and East Road. The same is true for money, food, troops and horses.
I will order the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households to compile books and the two routes of military preparations and food roads. I will do my best to help you recruit and train the army, be loyal and loyal, and do it freely. "

"Please rest assured, Mr. Zhang Cheng will overcome all difficulties and train a strong army that dares to fight for the country."

…………

After Zhang Cheng bid farewell to Yang Sichang, he met Chen Zhong outside the Donghua Gate, and the two of them went directly to Tongchun Building in Xila Hutong.

Wang Zhaozheng trotted up to meet him from a distance, and when he got close, he hurriedly said: "General, you are back. Master Yu just came, and he brought Mr. Zhang Qian, and Brother Wei was talking with him. Tell me to meet the general at the door, and tell you to go back to the yard if you see the general."

Chen Zhong asked in a daze: "What Zhang Qianzong? What the hell is Wei Zhice doing?"

"Zhang Guodong, Zhang Guodong is back, let's go, Zhongzi..."

After Zhang Cheng finished speaking, he hurried to the side door of the small courtyard. Chen Zhong slapped his thigh and said, "Why did we forget about this Guodong..."

He turned around and asked Wang Zhaozheng, "Where did that kid Niu Sheng go?"

"Ah, Mr. Niu has gone out of the city. I heard that Mr. Zhang Qian is still taking a group of brothers with him. Mr. Niu is going out of the city to settle him in the car and horse shop outside Deshengmen." Wang Zhaozheng shouted at the top of his voice, and Chen Zhong has gone too far.

Zhang Cheng just entered the small courtyard and shouted loudly: "Guodong, it's you who came back."

Wei Zhice heard the voice also coming out of the house, he smiled and said: "I guess the general will be happy when he hears that Guodong is back."

"Ha ha……"

Zhang Cheng also laughed and walked into the room. As soon as Zhang Guodong came to the door, he saw Zhang Cheng coming in. He hurriedly stepped aside, and after Zhang Cheng entered the room, he bowed down and said, "My subordinate Zhang Guodong pays his respects to the general."

"Guodong, get up, it's really hard work for you to travel thousands of miles, so sit down and talk." Zhang Cheng said.

After Zhang Guodong got up and took his seat, Yu Shangyou said: "Mr. Zhang Qian only returned to the capital today. He didn't know that the general came to Beijing to see you, let alone that the general opened this restaurant in the capital.

Then I went into the city to find Yu, and I knew that the general must also be thinking about Mr. Zhang Qian, so I decided to bring Mr. Zhang to Tongchunlou, and I happened to meet Mr. Wei. "

Zhang Cheng also said enthusiastically: "My lord, I'm really sorry that I have to worry about my little brother's affairs in the midst of his busy schedule."

Yu Shangyou originally wanted to attach himself to Zhang Cheng, so he said at this time: "Oh, they are all my brothers. If General Zhang talks like this, he will be out of touch."

Everyone laughed, and Zhang Cheng told Li Changsheng on the side: "Go to the front to find Wang Zhaozheng, ask him to make some snacks, bring them here, and clean up Guodong today."

Wei Zhice said at this time: "Guodong, you are no longer Mr. Qian, you have already known from the commander of Kaipingwei of the third rank."

Amidst the laughter, Zhang Guodong was the most surprised. He was still a general when he left Beijing to escort Lu Xiangsheng's coffin back home.

According to his own judgment, it was the Commander Wei's fault that he could be promoted two ranks from the rank of five thousand households, and he had been out for the past two months without any new credits, so he was promoted three ranks to Commander I know it.

Yu Shangyou, who was sitting next to him, was also surprised. In his memory, Zhang Guodong was just a chief executive, corresponding to the official title of a thousand households of the fifth rank, and it took only a little over two months to become the commander of the third rank.

Wei Zhice's words further strengthened Yu Shangyou's idea of ​​being attached to Zhang Cheng.

He looked up at Zhang Cheng, and suddenly felt that he had been in the officialdom for many years. At this moment, he was not as good as this young general, who had the emperor's favor on his side, and loyal soldiers and generals like Wei Zhice, Zhang Guodong, and Chen Zhong. follow.

Even Elder Yang Ge of the court and Governor Xuanda Chen had a favorable view of him. Thinking of this, he couldn't help secretly rejoicing, how wise he was to arrange his wife and nephew Wang Zhaozheng into Tongchun Tower in advance!
