My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

Chapter 96 Luo Sigong’s plan

In Liaoyang City, Luo Sigong, who came secretly with someone, was cooking in person, making a pot of ginseng and chicken soup.

After serving himself a bowl of chicken soup and smelling the delicious smell, Luo Sigong nodded with satisfaction.

Ginseng is a treasure in the mainland, but in Liaodong, it is a very common medicinal material.

Luo Sigong, who participated in the Wanli Korean War in the past and had been to Liaodong, learned how to make ginseng stewed chicken soup without learning anything else.

There was no chance to show off in front of the emperor, otherwise he would have wanted to do it for the emperor himself.

I had no other intention, I just wanted to teach the emperor how to maintain good health.

"Have you found out where those people live?"

Luo Sigong took a nice sip of the soup and felt the warmth coming from his stomach. Luo Sigong looked at his confidant Wang Kai and asked.

"Master Qi, we have found out clearly. Based on the clues confessed by Zhao Yonglin, we followed the clues and found three waves of people who had colluded with Jiannu."

"I ordered my brothers to divide into three groups to investigate."

Wang Kai took out a map from his sleeve, spread it on the table in front of Luo Sigong, and pointed it to Luo Sigong.

"The first route is just as your Excellency speculated. It goes along the Taizi River, transports grain to Weizi Valley, and delivers it to Jiannu. Our people saw it clearly. Weining Camp Guard General Zhao Kailai led the Weining Camp soldiers to participate. "

"The second route is in Liaoyang City. These people are colluding with the big families in Liaoyang City. Wang Yu led people to rob and kill a person they sent. They found a secret letter and found that they were transferring the garrison, arsenal, and military equipment in Liaoyang City. Information about the cultivation of grain depots and other materials is being passed to the slaves. Moreover, these people are still plotting something secretly. Although I didn’t find out what these people were plotting, I’m sure it’s not a good thing to be in a humble position.”

"The third route is in Shenyang City. Xiong Jinglue has been rectifying the troops in Liao and Shen towns. These people are constantly colluding with the foreigners in Shenyang City to get them to recruit under Xiong Jinglue."

Wang Kai said, looking up at Luo Sigong who was enjoying the soup.

"My subordinates are worried that these people want to sneak into the army. When Jiannu invades Liaodong again, they will take advantage of the chaos to start an uprising, cooperate internally and externally, and capture the cities in Liaodong."

"Hmph, you can see things. Can't you, Xiong Tingbi, the man who can marshal a fighting force under Nurha's nose, not see it?"

Hearing this, Luo Sigong wiped the corners of his mouth and looked at Wang Kaidao.

"At present, as far as the military discipline of the Sichuan soldiers is verified, they can be praised by Xiong Tingbi, saying they are elite. Others, not to mention the new Zhejiang soldiers led by Zhang Mingshi, or the old battalion led by Qi Jin, can only get one from Xiong Tingbi. Evaluation of cunning. In the eyes of Xiong Tingbi, the soldiers and horses of Yulin and Shanxi towns are also useless for waving flags and shouting. "

"As for those foreign races, did you say that Xiong Tingbi said that the Liao people are not useful? Did you say it to the civil and military officials in the court?"

With that said, Luo Sigong put the bowl on the table and asked.

"Have you figured out where those people are in Shenyang?"

"I figured it out."

Wang Kai heard this and said quickly.

"The brothers followed the people they sent to Shenyang to contact Shenyang. On the same day, some brothers followed their people to the north of the city and found that they had entered a small courtyard in Dingzifang. Based on the food they bought, it was estimated that there were at least three people there. personal."

"Baozhi rented a warehouse in the name of doing business, so he sent Xiao Qi to inquire about it. I heard from the people in Yahang (agency) that the yard was rented out in the 45th year of Wanli. The tenant was said to be the chief of Yehe tribe, Yehe. Nephew of Nala Jintai Ji.”

"In the 45th year of Wanli, from Ye He's tribe?"

Hearing this, Luo Sigong stroked his long beard, thought for a while and then said.

"It seems that after Nurhachi defeated the Ye He tribe, he not only gained all the people of the Ye He tribe, but also obtained the layout of the Ye He tribe in Liaodong."

The three Jurchens, Jianzhou Jurchens, Haixi Jurchens, Savage Jurchens, and Yehe tribe belong to the Haixi Jurchens.

As early as the Li Chengliang period, the Jurchens in Jianzhou had two sides to protect themselves. The first group was the hostile faction, headed by Nurhaci.

The second part is the pro-Ming faction, headed by Nurhachi and his mother's brother Shuerhaqi. Shuerhaqi even went to the capital in person to meet with Wanli.

In the 35th year of Wanli (1607), Nurhaci, the founder of Jianzhou Jurchen, had his eldest son Altong'a and third son Zasak killed by Nurhaci, and he himself was brutally imprisoned and died.

The Eight Banners of Qingqing, red, yellow, blue and white respectively represent the sun, earth, sky and water.

The two banners of Zhenghuang and Xianghuang were personally commanded by Nurhaci.The two flags of pure red and bordered red are due to the prince Daishan's command.

The Zhengbai Banner is led by the eighth son Huang Taiji, and the Xiangbai Banner is led by Nurhachi's eldest grandson Dudu (the eldest son of Chu Ying).

The two blue flags are filled with sand.

The Zhenglan Banner was Shuerhaqi's Zengjin force. After Shuerhaqi's death, it was led by Shuerhaqi's second son Amin.

The Xianglan Banner is led by Nurhachi's fifth son, Mang Gurtai.

After Nurhachi destroyed the Yehe tribe that was supported by the Ming Dynasty after dividing the Jurchens, he officially unified the Jurchen tribes.

"If they are not from my clan, their hearts must be different. Don't look at the fact that the chiefs of the Ye He tribe died for our Ming Dynasty, just think that they are loyal ministers. Now that Ye He has been destroyed, we must pay special attention to those people in the Ye He tribe."

Putting his hand on Tieling's position, Luo Sigong gave Wang Kai instructions.

"Everyone in the world is interested in profit. The Ming Dynasty supported Ye He in order to divide the Jurchens. Now that Ye He has been annexed by Jiannu, all the Jurchens are our enemies of the Ming Dynasty. We must not let down our guard."

"Understandable."

Hearing this, Wang Kai cupped his hands and said.

"The humble post has been sending people to keep an eye on those people, and found that they live in seclusion. Even if they are buying food, they only send one person out. I don't know if it is Xiong Jingluo's strict investigation of traitors that makes these people very cautious."

"Oh? Being so cautious, I'm afraid, is preparing for the future invasion of Liaodong by Jiannu."

After hearing this, Luo Sigong clicked on the location of Fushun on the map.

In the future, if Jiannu sends troops to invade Liaodong, they can only enter from Fushun. Other places are not suitable for the deployment of large-scale armies.

What Jian Nu wants now is to defeat the Ming Dynasty's army one by one just like in the battle of Sarhu.

If they invaded from other directions, it would be easy for Xiong Tingbi to assemble heavy troops and rely on the terrain to block them back.

"Should we inform Xiong Jinglue about this and ask him to send troops to destroy these craftsmen?"

After hearing this, Wang Kai suggested to Luo Sigong.

Looking at the map in front of him, Luo Sigong fell into deep thought.

"No, these people are still useful."

At this moment, Luo Sigong showed the professional qualities of a LYB engaged in intelligence.

"I'm telling you to go down and don't alert the enemy."

"When necessary, we can ask our people to send them some information."

"Sir, this?"

Hearing this, Wang Kai had a look of astonishment on his face.

"If anyone finds out about this, we will be suspected of being complicit."

"Ha ha."

Hearing this, Luo Sigong waved his hand, and then a chill appeared on his face.

"Back then, the Japanese slaves invaded North Korea, and the Korean king asked for help from the Ming Dynasty. Nurhachi once wrote a letter, wanting to send troops to help North Korea fight against the Japanese slaves, but the late emperor rejected it. At that time, I was still young and was ordered to sneak into the territory of the slaves to explore and investigate Nurhaci. This person seems to have some understanding.”

"Nurhaci is a perseverant and conceited person. Although he is good at forbearing before the incident, after the incident, he will move forward without hesitation and often fight against the odds."

"If you want to take it, you must first give it."

"Keeping those people behind can be of great use when necessary."

　If you drink too much, point it out if you have any problems and I will correct them later.
