    The person Ding Yunyi wanted to see was Yang Sichang.

    This minister who returned from Ding You was quickly appointed as Minister of War by Emperor Chongzhen, but he had not yet officially taken office.

    This can be considered a military family. His father, Yang He, once served as the right minister of the Ministry of War and the governor of Shaanxi's trilateral military affairs.  Yang Sichang followed his father and climbed up step by step.  Starting from a professor in Hangzhou Prefecture, he then went on to become a doctor of the Imperial College, deputy envoy to Henan, governor, and then to the right minister of the Ministry of War, where his father once served.

    And then he is finally about to ascend to the position of Minister of the Ministry of War.

    Yang Sichang was not surprised by Ding Yunyi's arrival.  He and Ding Yuanzhao were officials in the same dynasty, and they had a pretty good relationship. Now that the news came out that he was about to be appointed Minister of the Ministry of War, why would Ding Yuanzhao not allow his son to visit him?

    The two sat down, complimenting each other as usual.  One said that the other party was a young hero with an unlimited future, and the other said that the other party was a minister whom the emperor relied on, and that he was the pillar of the Ming Dynasty.

    Yang Sichang is still a little curious about Ding Yunyi. Although Ding Yuanzhao also commanded the army, like countless outstanding generals of the Ming Dynasty, he led the army as a civilian official and achieved great results. But this Ding Yunyi is an anomaly.

    I heard that he always takes the lead in every battle. He has countless scars on his body and kills countless people.  The Ding family has been scholarly for generations, so how come such a martial artist emerged?

    The two chatted for a while and then talked about the Central Plains bandits. Gao Yingxiang had just been captured alive by Ding Yunyi. Yang Sichang could not help but praise him again. He also said that since Gao Yingxiang was dead, the Central Plains bandits could be defeated overnight.

    Ding Yunyi knew that Yang Sichang was actually very knowledgeable.  He immediately said as a junior: "Uncle must have other thoughts."

    Yang Sichang smiled slightly: "I have studied those bandits. Although Gao Yingxiang is dead, people like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are still there"

    "Just this sentence is the same as what Ding Yunyi was thinking.

    ??????????????????? Every word Yang Sichang said was embedded in Ding Yunyi's heart.  He also believed that the real core of the bandits was not Gao Yingxiang, but people like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.

    "It's just" Yang Sichang said calmly: "Since Gao Yingxiang is dead, the rogue bandits will inevitably fall into chaos. If Commander Hong can take advantage of this opportunity to mobilize all his troops, the rogue bandits can be defeated within a year."  ¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay to be small and it¡¯s wrong.¡±

    A voice suddenly sounded.  Yang Sichang looked and saw the young man standing behind Ding Yunyi, and couldn't help but wonder: "Who is this?"

    "Oh, he is my nephew's confidant Gongsun Yue." Ding Yunyi said casually.

    Yang Sichang originally thought that Gongsun Yue was just a follower.  Upon hearing this, he asked Gongsun Yue to show him a seat.

    Hearing Ding Yunyi call himself his confidant, Gongsun Yueda was proud, but Yang Sichang asked: "Why did Mr. Gongsun say this just now?"

    "Go back to Sima." Although Yang Sichang has not yet formally assumed the post of Minister of War, Gongsun Yue still called him this way: "Although Gao Yingxiang is dead, the rogue bandits may not be defeated."

    Yang Sichang seemed very interested: "Tell me more carefully."

    "Actually, this is not Xiao Ke's knowledge. It was all told to Xiao Ke by Deputy Town Ding in his spare time. I wonder if Xiao Ke can say it." Gongsun Yue said respectfully.

    Yang Sichang smiled and said: "Tell me, he is also my nephew, there is nothing to say."

    "yes."

    First tell the other party that this was all Ding Yunyi¡¯s idea.  The only way to flatter Deputy Ding is to flatter him.  On the way here, Ding Yunyi had already explained clearly what Gongsun Yue should say when he met with Yang Sichang, but how he expressed it was Gongsun Yue's intention.  Gongsun Yue thought for a moment and said:

    "I heard from Deputy Town Ding that Commander Hong Chengchou was very capable and well-organized. He was a rare good general in our Ming Dynasty. His marching formations and strategic planning were unparalleled. But when it comes to the overall layout and the decisive victory of thousands of miles, then  There is still one person who is a little inferior, and that is you, Yang Sima.¡±

    This sentence immediately made Yang Sichang look happy.

    Ding Yunyi has been quietly watching Yang Sichang.  He knew that this man was not greedy for money or lustful, and he could be said to be honest as an official. He also treated the people well when he was a local official, so he was considered a good official. However, he had a weakness and liked to listen to flattery.

    The more and more clever you flatter him, the happier he will be and the more he will treat you as a confidant, but this is Ding Yunyi¡¯s weakness.  Who would have thought that Gongsun Yue fell from the sky and solved this urgent need.

    Ding Yunyi told Gongsun Yue on the road that it was up to Gongsun Yue to figure out what to say, how to say it, and how to say that Yang Sichang was happy without saying a word.

    Gongsun Yue cleared his throat: "SimaAfter serving as the censor of Youqiandu and governor of Yongping and Shanhaiguan, he became famous in both the government and the public for his knowledge of military affairs.  After Sima took office, he organized local defense and built two wings of Shanhaiguan City to resist the invasion of the Later Jin Dynasty.  I heard Deputy Town Ding say that without Sima's painstaking planning, how could Liaodong have been able to resist the Jinlu for such a long time?  If Sima had built the Shanhaiguan Pass, I am afraid that the majestic pass would have been destroyed long ago. The Ming Dynasty is where we are today, all because of Sima!  "

    "It's passed, it's been passed." Yang Sichang was overjoyed. Ding Yunyi actually preached everywhere that Shanhaiguan's ability to resist the Jinlu was all due to his own merit. This reputation was going to spread. Who in the world wouldn't admire him?  But he couldn't show it on his face, and said with a slightly reproachful tone: "Xiang Wen, what you said is quite right. The Jinlu cannot invade. That is the result of the bloody battles of the border officers. Although I am slightly  It works, but it¡¯s not worth mentioning.¡±

    Ding Yunyi couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. He just told Gongsun Yue that Yang Sichang had repaired Shanhaiguan. Who would have thought that Gongsun Yue would actually interpret so many flattery words, as if the credit for Liaodong was really due to Yang Sichang alone.  Then he said perfunctorily: "This is what my nephew was thinking."

    "How can Sima be too modest?" Gongsun Yue still said: "There is a statue of Sima Sheng in the Temple of Merit in Shanhaiguan. This is because the soldiers and civilians in Shanhaiguan cannot forget Sima's contribution!"

    "A little false reputation is insignificant and insignificant." Yang Sichang said humbly.

    "The world is currently in chaos, and there are rogue bandits in the Central Plains. There are golden captives at the border who want to rule the world. There is no other candidate except Sima." Gongsun Yue said impassionedly: "If the court still regards Sima as the governor of the three sides, the rogue bandits will have a new leader. So.  With Sima's might, if you continue to command the armies on the three sides, the rogue bandits will be able to pacify the country! If you advance with the victorious army from the Central Plains, send troops to Liaodong, and combine the forces of Liaodong to attack the Jinlu, the Jinlu will be destroyed within three years.  Sima should be my number one meritorious figure in the Ming Dynasty!¡±

    Damn you!  Ding Yunyi's hair stood up all over his body as he listened. The flattery was an artistic achievement.  He has no fear of thousands of troops, but Gongsun Yue really can't say a word like this.

    Look at Yang Sichang again.  Although he was sitting upright and serious, his heart was already filled with joy.  Indeed, he didn't think highly of the generals who commanded troops outside. Even if they destroyed every bandit, they would still be unable to win. The more they suppressed, the more they would do. If he had led the troops himself, I'm afraid the bandits would have been wiped out long ago.

    Gongsun Yue talked about his itch every word.

    Gongsun Yue suddenly said: "My deputy town Ding has decided to submit a letter to the imperial court. Yang Sima will lead the army with the title of Minister of the Ministry of War and the three governors. Exterminate the bandits and return us to a bright and bright world."

    "No, no." Yang Sichang said hurriedly: "I know Xiang Wen's thoughts, but Commander Hong is still very meritorious at the moment. If I replace him now, what will the people in the world think of me, Yang Sichang?"

    "Yes, yes." Ding Yunyi said perfunctorily.

    "However, I still have some concerns about suppressing bandits." At this time, Yang Sichang already regarded Ding Yunyi as one of his own.  Wu said proudly: "My idea is the strategy of making four positive points and six corners, and spreading the net on ten sides."

    Here it comes again, Ding Yunyi murmured in his heart, you have been proud of this plan for half your life, and finally died on it, and now you are going to show it off again.

    However, Yang Sichang didn't know what Ding Yunyi was thinking: "The so-called Four Positives and Six Corners are based on Shaanxi, Henan, Huguang, and Jiangbei as the Four Positives, and the four governors divide and suppress them, and focus on Yansui, Shanxi, Shandong, Jiangnan, Jiangxi, and Sichuan.  In the six corners, the six governors divided their defenses and cooperated in the suppression, which was called a ten-faced net. The governor and the prime minister followed the thieves' direction and concentrated on conquering them. My idea was to intercept and surround the peasant army that was fighting on the move, and then destroy it.  "

    Ding Yunyi responded obediently.  But I thought in my heart, the idea of ??four righteousnesses and six corners is good, but how should you deal with the rogue bandits defeating the enemy by walking and dividing their troops to make a surprise attack?

    Yang Sichang has introduced Ding Yunyi as a confidant, and he has a good conversation, explaining in detail the so-called four principles and six principles in his mind. He also cares about saying that if Ding Yunyi doesn't understand something, he can just ask him, and he will always give him patient guidance.

    "How majestic, how majestic." Before anything else happened, Gongsun Yue was already praising each other non-stop: "There are four good things and six corners, and the world's most wonderful plans. If the imperial court cannot use Sima's plan, how can our army and the people be willing to give up? If it had been earlier  If you use the Four Right and Six Corners, I'm afraid the rogue bandits will have been put down long ago."

    "Little Mou'er, what's the big deal?" Yang Sichang smiled and said, "I don't think Commander Hong has a better strategy than me."

    Gongsun Yue suddenly stood up and knelt down in front of Ding Yunyi with a "plop". Ding Yunyi was shocked, and Gongsun Yue shed two tears: "Deputy Ding treated Xiao Ke as kindly as a mountain, Xiao Ke  You can't repay him even if you die, but you can only be loyal and die for Deputy Town Ding. Now you can boldly plead. Deputy Town Ding can immediately write to the court and appoint Yang Sima as the commander-in-chief of the world. One battle will determine the world.  ¡±

    These few sentences, bothYang Sichang was raised to a high position and cleverly expressed his loyalty to Ding Yunyi.

    Ding Yunyi never expected that Gongsun Yue would have such a trick, and he helped him up: "Mr. Gongsun, I just try my best."

    Yang Sichang was greatly moved: "Xiang Wen and Mr. Gongsun are sincere, and Yang Sichang will always remember it in his heart. However, the time has not come yet, so let Commander Hong continue to lead the army. Besides, our Ming Dynasty does not have a general marshal to command the army."

    The horse has been shot enough, and it is counterproductive to take it again. Gongsun Yue understands this reason.

    Yang Sichang was in a happy mood: "Xiang Wen is guarding Taiwan and is a rare talent for the imperial court. It is rare for someone at your age to have such military honors. It is rare for the imperial court to have you and Wu Sangui. Xiang Wen, how is the situation in Fujian?  ?¡±

    Ding Yunyi was waiting for this sentence: "Uncle, it's not very good."

    "Oh? What's wrong? Tell me." Yang Sichang asked hurriedly.

    Ding Yunyi sighed: "Ding Yunyi devoted himself to serving the imperial court. Although he had no merit and hard work, he was hampered everywhere. Zheng Zhilong thought that his uncle knew about it, so there was no need to say more, but Zhang Kentang, the governor of Fujian, now also  Forget it, just don¡¯t talk about these things"

    ¡°In fact, Yang Sichang understood everything without him having to say anything.

    Your Majesty has arranged a governor and two lieutenants in Fujian. Isn't this just to check and balance each other so that no one can dominate?  Zhang Kentang had a special status, and nominally all military affairs in Fujian were under his control. It seems that Ding Yunyi had already suffered a lot from his anger there.

    He had a good impression of Ding Yunyi at this time. He felt that this man was not only brave, but also understood him best. When he officially took office as Minister of War, he would get the chance to say a few good words to him in front of the emperor no matter what.

    " What I thought in my heart, I didn't say it out loud. I just comforted Ding Yunyi with a few words and encouraged him to make contributions to the court.

    This is already what Ding Yunyi wants to achieve.  Yang Sichang served as Minister of War for a very long time and was trusted by Chongzhen. For a period of time, he even obeyed his words.  As long as you seize this favorable opportunity, your strength will grow rapidly in the past few years.

    ¡° Moreover, the words of Wang Chengen and his father have made Ding Yunyi wary. Once more people gossip about him, he must have someone in the court who can speak for him.

    Ding Yuanzhao is his father after all, and speaking for himself is suspect, so his weight in Chongzhen's heart is a bit low, and Wang Chengen is only loyal to the current emperor.  If he establishes a good relationship with Yang Sichang, who will soon hold great power, there will be people in the court who will work for him in the future.

    Sometimes, a few kind words are far better than anything else.

    After talking there for a while, seeing that Yang Sichang was a little tired, Ding Yunyi took Gongsun Yue and stood up to leave. Yang Sichang gave a few more careful instructions before leaving.  He also didn't forget to tell Ding Yunyi that he must come to his place again before leaving Beijing.

    After leaving Yang Mansion, Ding Yunyi remained silent.

    After walking forward for a while, he said: "Gongsun Yue, you did a good job this time."

    "Thank you sir, it's a small honor."

    Ding Yunyi smiled: "Stay with me from now on. Although your ability is nothing, sometimes it can have unexpected miraculous effects."

    "Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." Gongsun Yuemei smiled. His wish was finally fulfilled. As long as he worked hard, his lifelong problem of eating would be solved.

    ¡°It would be great to be an official and a part-time official in the future, and let those who looked down on me in the past see that just by opening your mouth, you can make great achievements.
