In September of the 15th year of Chongzhen, the Southern Guangdong Army, which was ordered to go north to reinforce the front line of Liaodong, stopped in Shanghai to replenish food, vegetables and water.But he met Du Xun, the eunuch who went south to pass the decree.

The same eunuch, Shou Han didn't have any good feelings for this former military eunuch, but as a military eunuch, like Du Zhizhi, Shen Zhixiu and others, Li Zicheng surrendered as soon as his army arrived.However, these eunuchs didn't have a good reputation in the history of Banbanqing, so it's fine for them to surrender, at most they changed to a serving master.But those social elites in Donglin, who have always prided themselves on their loyalty, known as the sound of the wind and rain, the sound of reading, and family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs, knelt down in front of Duduo's horse and asked to surrender, and the handwritten name cards piled up like a mountain.

Then, it is indispensable to retain the original job.

However, more than a hundred years later, he still couldn't escape the name stamp passed on by the second official, leaving a name in history for thousands of years, but unfortunately, it was the name of an official thief with shame. (Speaking of which, the unkind author has something to say again. I wonder if the wrong person who jumps out to criticize the government at every turn:: .s. is also from Donglin? , were they Qian Qianyi who greeted the imperial army in front of the horse and held a small flag on the street, or Ma Shiying who spent all his wealth to recruit rebels to resist and was finally stripped by the Qing army?) "... Ning Yuanbo Li Shouhan, the governor of Nanzhong, the food and pay of the soldiers and horses of all walks of life, and the administration of the Guangdong and Guangxi suppression affairs, Li Shouhan, who was able to defeat the enemy and win the victory, made outstanding contributions. At present, the soldiers and horses in Shandong and other departments have heard about restraint, and all promotions and punishments will be borne by Uncle Ning Yuan. He thinks that the Liaodong Army and horses will be backed up and participate in the strategy planning. Hong Chengchou's Liaodong Army has already fought fiercely with the Jiannu soldiers and horses. Li Shouhan All the members of the subordinates should work hard to prepare and work together to suppress the slaves in order to repay the king's kindness, and on the day of success, I will not hesitate to reward the prince!"

Li Shouhan lay down on the ground in fear, but his mood was extremely complicated.Now, in addition to the titles of Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and other places on his head, he also has the title of President of Aid and Suppression, and he controls the troops of Denglai, Jimen, and Tianjin governor.It seems that the military situation in Liaodong really made Emperor Chongzhen a little overwhelmed, knowing where the Southern Guangdong Army would get in.Where will change the sky.But right now, not to mention the official position, even if he was ordered to accept the territory and dispatch of temperance, the emperor threw it out without hesitation.

Although the status of the military officers at this time has greatly surpassed the old system of a hundred years, not only the military leaders from all walks of life are domineering.In the event of a large-scale conquest, you can also extensively participate in the military strategic planning of civilian officials (except for those who have no strategic ability).It seems that the status of civil and military parties has achieved a delicate balance.But it also depends on who you are with.When encountering civil servants with arrogant personalities and outstanding abilities, such as Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, when it comes to military affairs, the leaders of all the generals obediently obey their orders.He didn't even dare to take a breath.On the contrary, when they met Fu Zonglong, Ding Qirui and others who had neither ability nor strength, Zuo Liangyu, He Renlong and others abandoned them like shoe shoes, and the court had nothing to do with these warriors.Although Li Shouhan always relied on himself and didn't want to get food and pay from the court, he naturally didn't need to pay attention to those civil servants, but now with the emperor's decree, it is only natural that officials from all over the country be rewarded and dismissed by the Southern Guangdong Army.

The imperial decree also authorized him to control and command the troops of Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo who were in Shandong at this time.Although after Lu Xiangsheng's death in battle, Li Shouhan didn't have the slightest liking for the soldiers and horses in the mainland after Lu Xiangsheng's death in battle, but he was able to control the soldiers and horses of the two towns, and even the three governors. Other than that, there was no one else in Daming.

Controlling soldiers and horses, controlling governors, this power is something that any civil and military official can only dream of.After Jin Guofeng's death in battle, in order to unify affairs and powers, there was a regulation in the Liaodong Army that when the commander-in-chief, the governor and the eunuchs were all in the same city, the commander-in-chief should control the troops.However, to control the soldiers and horses of the entire region, all from the governor to the commander-in-chief are dispatched, and the power of life and death is concentrated in one person. In addition to Hong Chengchou in the past, Li Shouhan has been added to those who have this power.

It seems that the Liaodong incident put a lot of pressure on the emperor, so that he tried every means to mobilize the army, horses, money and food, and tried every means to increase the chances of winning the Liaodong front.Shi Lang, who was kneeling behind Shou Han, secretly calculated in his heart that the emperor did this for nothing more than two purposes.One is to mobilize people and horses to cooperate from inside and outside to eliminate the army of founding slaves who have finally formed a stalemate confrontation. Second, even if the military is at a disadvantage for a while, with the sharp artillery fire of the Southern Cantonese Army Boat Division, they can rescue the besieged army.That's why he spared no expense to make Li Shouhan, who is famous in battle and proactive in handing over money and food, but has a very bad relationship with Korean and Chinese officials, restrain his troops. As the commander of one side, the chances of winning are much greater.

After Du Xun read out the imperial decree, his solemn and solemn face suddenly softened, and in a blink of an eye he turned into a smiling Maitreya Buddha, "Our family is lucky. It just happens to be able to watch the demeanor of Uncle Destroying the Bandit Soldier, and also to have some bragging capital when gossiping with others when he returns to the capital."

What Du Xun said was half true and half false.

Really, he is really willing to be the eunuch who supervises the army.The Nanyue Army entered the guard several times, and everyone who was associated with the Nanyue Army gained a lot, from money to official positions.Even the ancestors of the two chief eunuchs, Wang Dehua and Wang Chengen, spoke with great confidence in the court.Every now and then, he said, "Our family fought bloody battles against Jiannu. How many times have you fought against Jiannu? A group of ignorant scholars!"

Not to mention the various Nanzhong Shixin fruits that are sold in the city every day, as well as those dazzling jewelry, gold and silver utensils, which one of them can't make a huge profit?It's a pity that his Eunuch Du can get his hands on none of these things.They were all rewarded to their confidants by the two princes.

Eunuchs can't be officials, can't marry wives, and they are more attracted to money. It's hard to understand their love for gold and silver. In addition, the big eunuchs in the palace can't keep dry food in the kennel, so it is necessary to earn some silver. Show it off to your colleagues.Du Xun, who was just a guarding eunuch before, how could he be richer than them?

then.This time I heard that there was such an errand, even if Du Xun went bankrupt, he had to go up and down to get this errand of Xuanzhi eunuch and military supervisor eunuch.He himself planned to follow the Southern Guangdong Army for a while, firstly to earn a lot of benefits, and secondly to have a strong fortune in his credit book.

"It's easy! It's easy! Eunuch Du has worked so hard from afar, so he can take a rest here in Shanghai for a whole day. After the army arrives, I'll go north together."

"Uncle, when our family left the palace, the emperor had something to say. If something happened in Jinzhou this time, the name of the uncle will be changed. Perhaps, the seal is right in front of us. At that time, our family will have to ask for help." I'll call you Lord Marquis now. Our family congratulates you in advance."

Hearing this, Shou Han couldn't help but feel a sudden movement in his heart.Smiling, he said, "Thank you for your father-in-law's auspicious words. Shouhan thanked you in advance. However, thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness. No matter what you want, a certain family can just lead the army to fight to the death."

When the two were talking, there were many people around.They all pricked up their ears, and all of them had complex expressions, Fenghou?

Li Huamei's eyes showed joy on the side. The Earl who started from a guard in the Ming Dynasty and is now rumored to be a Marquis, I am afraid that there is no one else thinking about it except Dad!

"Children of Chongzhen, what's the use of seducing you with a false name? If a certain family doesn't turn 10,000+ people like you into ashes, so that you have no hope of rejuvenation, they are not considered descendants of the Li family." Dressed in the official uniform of the Southern Guangdong Army, Li Peiting, who was kneeling in the crowd to listen to the imperial decree, gritted his teeth.

"As long as your 10,000+ people vanish into thin air, and the thieves in the pass will swarm like floods and fires, your country will have to completely change your surname. By then, you will really be Li Jizhu, who is in chaos in Kyushu!"

"At that time, the world will be in chaos and hordes will swarm, who will have the power to contend with the lord?"

"Once the lord wins the country, tens of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains will be merged into one, and my Li family will be avenged, and I will become a minister with meritorious service from the dragon! Compared with the glory of the ancestor Cheng Liang when he was alive, I am afraid that it is even worse! "

After reading the imperial decree at the moment, it is unavoidable for the Shou Han to set up a banquet to entertain the angel and the new Qin Wang Jun Jun Jun Eunuch Du Xun, which is naturally the meaning of the title.

At the moment, the entire business district suddenly fell into jubilation.The generals who accompanied Shou Han to the north were even more immersed in joy.Every time the Shou Han Jia was promoted to a noble, the generals at all levels below followed the tide.

Zhang Xiaohu, who led the navy fleet from Tamna Island to transport horses and mules to Shanghai for the army, was even more blunt in his words: "Great, now the lord has been promoted to the president, Denglai, Jimen, Tianjin and other places belong to the lord." Jurisdiction, the two towns in Shandong are also under the jurisdiction of the lord. Now, the Jiaozhou Bay that Lao Zhang is optimistic about needs to be rebuilt! It is a good port! Next year’s budget, Lao Zhang will have to fight for it. Fight, get more money for the navy, and build more big ships and cast more cannons!"

Huang Yiwei, the leader of the business district, also has bright eyes: "How many groves and acres of fields are there in Shandong, Denglai, Tianjin, and Jimen? There are refugees everywhere, and disasters continue. Not to mention the current Nanzhong, Taiwan, Myanmar, and Bangladesh. Dingkou can solve it, as long as the navy has enough ships, even if Fusang is occupied, the population is enough!"

A steward of Long Shengxing also said happily: "I don't know, the land we bought in Shandong and other places in the past few years is used to grow cotton, and the harvest is already abundant. The cotton fields in various places can produce hundreds of thousands of tons of cotton every year. I'm afraid The armor that everyone is wearing at this time is made of cotton yarn produced in the cotton fields of Shandong. If the lord has mastered Shandong, Denglai and other places, the mere Songjiang cloth and Hengtang yarn will not be a problem!"

Since the Battle of Jinan, Long Shengxing took over their Wangzhuang from several members of the royal family in Jinan, and Long Shengxing has grown cotton in this area.Adopting an organization similar to the Production and Construction Corps, each Wangzhuang has been turned into an organization that integrates the army and the people. Every month, firewood, rice, oil and salt are distributed, so that the cotton farmers do not have to worry about food and clothing, as long as they take good care of the cotton.After several years of hard work, this area not only planted tens of thousands of mu of sea-island cotton and long-staple cotton, but also provided tens of thousands of supplementary soldiers for the Southern Guangdong Army.It is because of the existence of these farms that there are no hungry people, local bandits, horse thieves, poles, etc. that swarmed elsewhere in this area.On the contrary, this place has become the land that the people of Shandong yearn for. From time to time, thousands of refugees pass through these Zhuangzi, go to Denglai and other ports, board the big ship and go south to find a way out.

Mo Yu, the brigade commander of the Guards Brigade, twitched his beard and said with a big grin: "Let me explain first. I will only charge forward in the Guards Brigade to defend the lord. In the places above, I will never go."

Denglai, Jimen, Tianjin, and Shandong are located everywhere. Except Denglai is close to Shandong, the rest of Jimen and Tianjin are not connected by land. For the army, it is simply a piece of cake, a moat in the eyes of others.It is the thoroughfare in the eyes of the Southern Guangdong Army.

Compared with the joy of everyone at the banquet.Li Peiting, the treasurer of Long Shengxing, had a gloomy expression on his face, in stark contrast to everyone's joyful remarks, he just treated today's emperor's imperial decree with silence.He was dressed like an officer in the Southern Guangdong Army, wearing a tight-fitting blue shirt.Waistband sword.Wearing a Futou.The green shirt is covered with a short-sleeved cloak, which has the elegance of a literati and the heroic spirit of a warrior.

sit there.I don't go to exchange glasses with others, as long as the wine is dry.The whole house is unhappy with one person, let alone such an important person?Everyone gradually turned their attention to him, only to hear him let out a long sigh.

"Why did your lord sigh?"

He said coldly: "My lord is powerful, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and his achievements are so high that his reputation spreads tens of thousands of miles away. The emperor has become suspicious. If it is not bad, as expected, if the official army after the Jinzhou war After defeating the Liaodong Tartars, the good days of our Southern Guangdong Army will come to an end!"

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly cooled down, and everyone fell silent immediately.

After a while, Zhang Xiaohu said angrily: "We have all seen the merits of the lord and his loyalty to the court! If the lord hadn't sent us to deliver food and money to him every year, the emperor would have been hungry by now Already! Where is the money and food to fight the Tartars? Is the emperor Lao Tzu going to play the trick of killing the rabbit and hiding the bird?"

Mo Yu also shouted: "I've only seen this kind of trick in dramas. If the emperor really wants to do this, wouldn't it make the soldiers of the world feel cold?"

Huang Yiwei was indignant: "We didn't rely on the emperor, didn't we come to this point? Suspicion is suspicion. Our Southern Guangdong Army has enough money and food, and our soldiers are fine and powerful. Who will be afraid of?"

"Da Ming's internal and external troubles, in this world, which one can be separated from the lord? If something happens, don't rely on my Nanyue Army to come forward to fix the situation and save the world?"

Chen Tianhua, the commander of the second town, said calmly: "Lord Li, what do you think the emperor will do?"

Li Peiting was secretly delighted, and smiled on his face: "Everyone is thinking about it, but the situation has not yet reached that level. The emperor is now fighting the fire with his salary. Although he is afraid of our soldiers in the Southern Guangdong Army, the rogues in the mainland, outside the customs The Tartars are like a prairie fire, which is a much greater threat to his throne than ours! Therefore, there will be no obvious actions that are not good for our Southern Guangdong Army. At most, it will be like the previous poaching of Wu Biao. Among them, those who are stalking the power and greedy for wealth and wealth promise to poach the corners of our Southern Guangdong Army with high officials and generous salary! If a certain family is right, if the army wins after this battle, the title of Marquis will be the culmination of the lord's career in this life. .”

He analyzed: "Great achievements overwhelm the master, the ministers are strong and the master is weak, the emperor is suspicious and fearful, lest there will be more chaos. With the character of Chongzhen's children, he should adopt a strategy of paralyzing us and slowly plan it. Just like when he ascended the throne. Counting Wei Zhongxian, Eunuch Wei, is the same as getting rid of Yuan Chonghuan, the former governor of Jiliao in the second year!"

"Everyone, please think about it. In the eyes of the court chiefs and the emperor, what is our Nanyue Army? A vassal state? Or a vassal town? The military system, official position, official system, and tax system are all different from the imperial system. You are not blind, please think about it. In the official circles in the mainland, is there such a situation where our government officials and military officers live in harmony and equality? Have craftsmen in the mainland been able to enjoy a certain level of official treatment because of the adoption of a skill, and use this to feed their families? Plenty? Have merchants ever had to pay business tax, value-added tax, income tax, and many other taxes? Have emperors and princes ever had to take the lead in paying money, food, and taxes? Now that the imperial court is in trouble, it is like a chamber pot for our Southern Guangdong Army. I have to use it in a moment of urgency. However, every time my Southern Guangdong Army goes out to fight, the military exploits are endless and the results are rich, and the court officials have to pinch their noses to let me enter the hall. If one day the court put down the rebels in Liaodong, and the rogues in the interior were also wiped out one by one, In the end, what should our Southern Guangdong Army do? Is it to hand over the territory of soldiers, horses, money and food to the imperial court, and let those people come and ravage the paradise we have worked so hard to develop for decades into the Central Plains now?"

Zhang Xiaohu sneered at the side, and said murderously: "Hand over? The world of our Southern Guangdong Army was bought with the blood and sweat of countless people. If you want to take it from us, you can't do it unless you use more money." blood and sweat!"...

"That's right! Let the emperor boy take hundreds of thousands of heads to talk about!"

"Okay! Enter my hub!"

Seeing that all the people present were excited because of his analysis, Li Peiting was secretly happy in his heart, and he continued to analyze for everyone: "Because of the merit of the lord, the emperor had to deal with the scumbags, and added assistance to suppress the position of the president. , and gave four places, but you also need to see that this was established when the emperor asked our southern Guangdong army. If the imperial court is strong and strong, and the world lives forever, it will no longer ask us? Is it swords, guns and artillery? Is it time to target our Southern Guangdong Army?"...

The next day, Shou Han took his eldest daughter Li Huamei, the commander of the guard brigade Mo Yu, the commander of the navy Shi Lang and others followed the eunuch Du Xun to Beijing to meet Chongzhen in a fast boat.

Order Commander Chen Tianhua, Naval Commander Zhang Xiaohu and others to lead the army slowly northward and gather in Dengzhou and other places.
