Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 65 News
For this team, Yang Chao paid a huge price. Of the thirty people, only eight remained, and it took more than three months.

But Yang Chao thinks this is very necessary. The quality of soldiers is too low, so they can only be selected with such a high elimination rate. Of course, Yang Chao believes that there is not much difference between people. As long as they are trained properly, they can master certain skills. But Yang Chao didn't have time, so he used this cruel method of survival of the fittest to select those who were more talented, smarter, and more capable of learning.

That's it, Yang Chao also spent three months, the price is too expensive.

Originally, Yang Chao thought he had plenty of time, and there were still two years before Emperor Chongzhen hanged Meishan, but now it seems that two years may not be enough time for him to climb to a position that can change history.

To put it bluntly, this is also the reason why Yang Chao is a layman. If he is an authentic army officer, he will not be able to train an elite soldier for so long, but he is completely crossing the river by feeling the stones and relying on the military manual Trying to figure out the comprehension by writing, and groping and training by yourself, it will be strange if you can do it soon.

The soldiers' assassination training lasted until mid-August. Yang Chao was planning to give gifts to his superior Qian Zong and the deputy general in a few days, but Kang Hui found him in the barracks.

The water camp in Xinjiangkou is not strictly guarded, but it is very humid because it is close to the river, so no one usually comes here.

Yang Chao thought that there was an urgent matter at the brothel, so he asked directly and found out that it was Wang Xiao who sent the news.

After Yang Chao heard this, he immediately left the barracks with Kang Hui.

It's done.

Zhou Yanru made sure of his relationship again.

Wang Xiao sent an urgent report from Beijing, and specially asked a servant to rush from Beijing to Jiangnan overnight, but it was not to send news to Yang Chao, but to his Wang family.

When the servant arrived in Yangzhou, he crossed the river and went straight to Jiangnan, but at Zhenjiang he sent a fast boat to Nanjing to inform Yang Chao.

Yang Chao had told Wang Xiao a long time ago that once the matter is completed, he should notify himself as soon as possible. Wang Xiao did a good job.

I believe that the news may not reach Hangzhou at this time, and Yang Chao, who is closer, will know about it first.

Having received the news, Yang Chao couldn't care less about anything, and rushed to the Jiangning county government immediately, begging to see the county magistrate.

……

After the last meeting, Yang Wencong, the magistrate of Jiangning County, was often irritable and went to the brothel frequently to relax.

What is annoying is that last time was such a good opportunity for me to deepen my relationship with Zhang Pu.

But in the end, because of Qian Qianyi's face, he only made a donation of 50 taels.

The 50 taels seemed to be looked down upon by others, and no one came to ask for it in the end.

At that time, I clearly had a conference ticket on my body, but I couldn't take it out at all.

It's a pity that while missing the opportunity, Yang Wencong was secretly worried that he would offend Zhang Pu because of this matter.

What made him even more depressed was that after the meeting, Fushe and Donglin split openly.

Fortunately, the core of Fushe is centered in Suzhou, while Donglin is centered in Nanzhili, Nanjing Songjiang and other prefectures. Most of the time, the scholars of the two sides can only scold each other in the air, otherwise no one can guarantee whether they will fight.

But this incident made Yang Wencong as uncomfortable as eating a dead mouse.

At that time, I didn't dare to donate too much money because of Qian Qianyi's face, but in a blink of an eye Qian Qianyi fell out with Fushe, and I was a member of Fushe.

This is simply not human at both ends, Qian Qianyi will not remember his own kindness, and Zhang Pu may still bear a grudge against him.

Yang Wencong is a member of the Fushe, and one of the earliest early risers to join. He has friendship with Zhang Pu, but the friendship is not deep, because he is a foreigner after all, and his ancestral home is Guiyang, which is too far away from Jiangnan. Almost alien.

In addition, I always failed in the imperial examinations later, and I was always just a candidate, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

But to be honest, Yang Wencong still has some real talents and learning, and his reputation is not too small. He was also a Jiangnan talent in the past, and it is only in the past few years that the limelight has been overshadowed by those young scholars.

But even compared with those young talents, Yang Wencong is only less passionate. When it comes to prose, thick poetry, and moving calligraphy and painting, Yang Wencong is even better.

In the eyes of real experts, Yang Wencong is more famous. Once the calligraphy and paintings are produced, there are many buyers. Unfortunately, the fame did not bring him official luck, but only a little fortune.

Over the years, Yang Wencong has saved a lot of money, almost all of which is his income from selling paintings, and even the thousands of taels of silver he spent on operations in order to become the county magistrate are all his income from selling paintings.

Like many literati and talented scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, he is versatile, such as piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry. Officer, regard other things as elegant interests, just for fun, if there are too many, you will lose your mind.

Therefore, what Yang Wencong cares most about is not fame or talent in poetry, calligraphy and painting, but his official career. He hopes to go straight to the top.

However, there has never been a chance. When Fushe was at its most glorious, he did not catch up. In the past few years, Fushe has been at a low point, but he has made it. In recent years, Fushe has rarely passed the imperial examination. It was rumored that the adults in the court did not want to see Fushe candidates, so Fushe candidates were not willing to admit them at all.

Yang Wencong may not have been implicated, and he still failed the Jinshi examination, so he chose to name the Imperial Academy to become a student supervisor, and finally got an excellent review, and found the county magistrate after going through contacts.

There are a lot of Fushe candidates like Yang Wencong, but there are very few people like Yang Wencong who have found a county magistrate, so the number of scholars who have left the Fushe these years has been large, and even Yang Wencong has not thought about it, or Due to my thin skin, I didn't make up my mind.

It's fine if you didn't have a chance before, but this time Zhang Pu operated Zhou Yanru's reunion, which was a great opportunity to express himself, but he missed it again, so after the meeting, he has been regretting it.

"Master, Mr. Yang Chao, please see me!"

The servant came to report, holding a post in his hand.

Yang Wencong only glanced at it, and immediately stood up: "Please hurry up!"

……

Yang Chao was not surprised by Yang Wencong's eagerness to please himself.

I believe that after the news of Zhou Yanru's re-election spreads, any yamen in Nanjing City will regard themselves as honored guests.

"Congratulations to the old parents. Mr. Yusheng is getting married again!"

Yang Chao walked in with a big smile. This time when he met Yang Wencong, there was no big gift, he just bowed his hands casually.

Yang Wencong didn't care, he didn't dare to underestimate Yang Chao. Although Yang Chao didn't have a big background, he had heard enough of Yang Chao's name in brothels these days. Among literati, Yang Chao's name had nothing to do with Zhou Yanru, Qian Qianyi and others appeared together.

Therefore, Yang Wencong did not dare to underestimate Yang Chao at all.

Therefore, not only did he not blame Yang Chao for not being polite, but he asked the servants to sit and watch tea in a panic.

But when he heard Yang Chao's words, Yang Wencong couldn't help being startled: "Mr. Yang is serious!"

Yang Wencong's mentality in participating in the rally was just to curry favor with Zhang Pu, not to really have any confidence in Zhou Yanru.

But Yang Chao actually said that Zhou Yanru met again, and they really did it.

The way Yang Wencong looked at Yang Chao changed, because he knew that the last rally was organized by Yang Chao alone.

Although as the county magistrate, Yang Wencong did not know the news of Zhou Yanru's re-election, but after hearing about it, his mood was really complicated.

Zhou Yanru really became the chief assistant. As a person in Fushe, he had the opportunity to go further, but he didn't send a donation of 1000 taels that day. This was not only a missed opportunity to make friends with Zhang Pu, but also a missed opportunity. An opportunity for immediate advancement.

After Yang Chao sat down, he said slowly: "Is there any reason for this? I'm afraid that within a day, the whole city of Nanjing will know. Why, the old parents don't know yet?"

Yang Wencong shook his head and smiled wryly: "That's really gratifying."

There was regret in Yang Wencong's tone.

Yang Chao knew why and asked: "Why, the old parents seem to have something to hide."

Yang Chao knew that Yang Wencong only donated 50 taels last time, but he didn't know whether Zhang Pu wanted it or not.

But 50 taels is obviously not enough to give Yang Wencong a bright future. (It’s a great event to drop pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!
