Win the Ding 1617

According to Chongzhen's inner thoughts, it may not be a good thing for the court that the Li family and his son come forward to negotiate peace with the Liao thieves.

With the soldiers, horses, money and food in the hands of the Li family and his sons, the commercial routes along the coast and the rivers that they actually control, and the vast territory in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Shandong Denglai, and Laochao Nanzhong, it is afraid that the officials in the court and the Chinese will lead troops and generals everywhere. I dare not comment on this peace negotiation.

What's more, in Chongzhen's view, Huang Taiji did not discuss peace with him, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, but turned to Li Shouhan to discuss peace, willing to serve as a vassal under the rule of the Li family.From a certain angle, this can also demonstrate his supreme status as the emperor!You are not worthy to negotiate peace with me on an equal footing, you can only be a vassal of my former ministers!

As long as the pens of the Hanlin Academy and other places write brilliantly about this matter afterwards, and later historians comment, can it be said that Emperor Chongzhen is wise and powerful?As for whether the Li family would be allowed to take the lead in this peace negotiation, he automatically ignored this point.In the eyes of him, Wang Dehua and Wang Chengen, the two great eunuchs, Mr. Li and his son are more interested in money, grain, soldiers, land, business, taxation than the hard chair in the Jinluan Hall today!

"Big companion, I have already issued a decree to the Ministry of Rites, ordering them to quickly draw up a beautiful name for Li Aiqing, why has there been no movement for so many days? Could it be that the government and the public are discussing that I will not reward you for my merits!? Isn't it ordering The hero and the soldiers of the army are chilling?!"

Zhu Youjian recalled the title of Rongguo Duke who was rejected by Li Shouhan, and expressed dissatisfaction with the group of guys in the Ministry of Rites who were eating vegetarian meals.

"Slaves, go and urge them with strict words!" In the past few years, the arrogance of the eunuchs has also risen. Although they still do not have the strength of the [-]-year-old Eunuch Wei, the court officials dare not underestimate them. The family slaves of the emperors.What's more, now that this group of house slaves is being bridged by Li Shouhan, there is a faint sign of joining forces with the nobles in the court.The two major groups partnered to create a special business, and silver dollars came in like flowing water every day.

With the increase in economic strength, those in the middle of the court who have a straight face all day long make a serious and dignified appearance.After coming down to the imperial court, the civil servants who eagerly sang the poem of Yin and Yang and the Great Compassion of Heaven and Earth together with the school boys and maidservants in their own study, Wang Dehua and other eunuchs naturally despised them in every possible way.

"Don't just rely on the Ministry of Rites! Those people in the Hanlin Academy always claim to be well-educated people every day, I want to see it. This group of guys who have read poetry and books can't come up with a good name for my courtiers. , what shame is there to call yourself a learned man!"

After some pretentiousness, Chongzhen told his two big companions the true purpose in his heart.

"How is the military pay for Liaodong going now?"

"If you go back to the emperor, the military pay for February and March this year was originally scheduled to be allocated in May to the soldiers and horses in the towns of Liaodong. The total is 140 million silver dollars, and the household department has almost raised it. The Chinese businessman borrows 20 yuan, which can be deducted from the commercial tax of Denglai Customs."

"Hmph! This group of guys, they've got their wishful thinking. Tell them, it's okay to advance the money. This military salary will be used for what I want to send. Let's ask the Liaodong army to be wronged for now! Anyway, they won't starve to death!"

Since it was agreed to open customs in Denglai, Tianjin and other places to collect tariffs, Chongzhen's inner mansion has been filled with a lot.Several customs offices were supported by the Southern Guangdong Army overtly and secretly.All are controlled by the eunuchs.However, the military salary of more than 100 million silver is a lot of money in the eyes of Chongzhen.

"The emperor means that he intends to use this military salary for other purposes?" Wang Chengen's eyes lighted up slightly.Based on his understanding of the emperor, the money would not be given to Liaodong.I'm afraid that the emperor will use it to allocate new troops to the Beijing camp, so that they can speed up the training of recruits.The new army of the three major battalions is now completely under the control of the eunuchs and nobles. Those seeds who have successfully stolen from Mr. Tong Li in Shandong are now passing on their knowledge and experience to the new army. For the children of good families recruited from all over Gyeonggi.

"Exactly! I intend to give this military salary to Sun Chuanting who is currently in Shaanxi! Let him go out of Tongguan during the wheat harvest season to fight a decisive battle with the rogues led by Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai who are entrenched in Henan. Don't let the land of Henan be in the hands of rogues for too long!"

But it turns out that we want to embezzle flowers and replace trees, tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall.Taking advantage of the rest of the battle in Liaodong, Wu Sangui was busy reorganizing the camp.Digesting the fruits of victory after annexing the miscellaneous troops, Huang Taiji expressed his sincerity in order to negotiate a peace, but at the same time he was unable to launch a new offensive against the Ming army during the temporary calm stage.Chongzhen was going to take advantage of this extremely precious gap period and use this military salary to order Sun Chuanting, who had been training soldiers in Shaanxi for several months, to leave Tongguan to deal with Li Zicheng!

The weather in Henan this year made the officials of the Ming court very angry. Since Li Zicheng took control of Henan, it has snowed in winter and rained in spring.And locusts don't appear much.Those thieves who are entrenched in various states and counties, what kind of thieves do you think you don’t kill and set fire?He actually urged the people everywhere and the refugees and hungry people traveling with the army to plant wheat and sorghum as soon as possible.

It seems that the harvest season is almost here.In the grain-producing area stretching across thousands of miles in the hinterland of Henan, as long as he can harvest a season of wheat, how strong is Li Zicheng?I'm afraid that Huguang in the south, Shaanxi in the west, and Fengyang in the southeast will all be occupied by him!

"The maidservant waits for this to pass the decree to the household department, ordering them to transfer the funds to Mr. Sun Chuanting, Shaanxi."

"No!" Chongzhen stopped Wang Dehua's words. He also understood the nature of the money rats in the household department. When it is time, half of it is not bad.

"Big companion, you said the day before yesterday that Shanxi merchants operated foreign exchanges in the trading shops in the capital? If you deposit money in the capital, you can withdraw it from a shop that has a joint account with them? You only need to pay some money? "

Those involved in the Dongchang incident will collect and report the big and small events that happened in the capital every day, and then report them level by level to the eunuch who is the admiral of the Dongchang, commonly known as the eunuch of the factory.Wang Dehua and Wang Cheng'en will selectively report to Chongzhen one or two according to his mood.

As for the news that happened in this kind of market, it can be reported to Chongzhen at any time as something new, for him to refresh and relieve his boredom.

But Wang Dehua and others did not expect that Chongzhen had always kept this matter in mind and threw it out at this time today.

"Give it to the Shanxi firm to remit! Give Sun Chuanting an order. When the military salary arrives, you must go out of Tongguan to fight against the intruders and Cao thieves!"

After pondering for a while, Chongzhen whispered to Wang Chengen, "I can pretend that I don't know about the peace talks between Li Guogong and his son and Jiannu. However, I won't let them think that I don't know anything!"

The two princes naturally understood Chongzhen's thoughts.Immediately, they kowtowed and left, each going to make arrangements.

that night.Wang Chengen returned to his mansion, finished washing and washing in the study, a young eunuch who was accompanying him brought fragrant tea, he drank a couple of sips, leaned his head back and closed his eyes to rest his mind very comfortably.

"Old ancestor. The titang officer in Mr. Li's mansion has arrived."

"Get those test books ready."

After hearing the eunuch's report, Wang Chengen snorted and told his subordinates to get ready.

According to Chongzhen's intention, Wang Chengen ordered Dongchang and several confidant eunuchs to find several censors from Yushitai, and ordered them to use their power to impeach Li Shouhan and Li Huayu, father and son, and sue them. A charge of negotiating peace with Donglu without permission.Although everyone knows that this crime is pure nonsense, don't say that they negotiated peace with Dong Lu just because they were bumped into by Huang Taiji who was running towards him on the road driven by the emperor.Even if they were the same as Supervisor Yuan Chonghuan back then, they went back and forth with Dongnu messengers to discuss peace negotiations.How can you treat their father and son?

Send the Jinyiqi school to take Li Shouhan, who is in Guangzhou at the moment, and Li Huayu, who is in Jinan, into Beijing for interrogation?It's just nonsense, I'm afraid that the price of grain in the capital has skyrocketed, and the canals and water transportation have been cut off before this decree comes out of Chaoyangmen!

Instead of putting yourself in a passive position, it is better to use these discussions in the streets to gain some tangible benefits for yourself.

Wang Chengen wanted to implement Chongzhen's will, and use the public opinion he created to get some money, food and equipment for the new Beijing army who was training in the Nanyuan barracks.

With the generals of the towns.Like governors and governors everywhere, Li Shouhan also had a mansion in the capital, where he was responsible for delivering documents from Korea and Chinese, and making friends with honorable officials.At the same time, deal with some miscellaneous affairs.It can be regarded as one of his Beijing offices.

This Titang official can also be regarded as Li Shouhan's confidant and one of the most popular people in the capital.

"Lord Lei, please take a look at those documents on the table." Naturally, Wang Chengen was too lazy to talk nonsense with this Titang official surnamed Lei.Moreover, the two of them are in a relationship that they are not familiar with each other.This Mr. Lei can directly enter the hall in Wang Chengen's residence, and no deacon, big or small, will stop him.

Taking a cursory look at the documents impeaching Li's father and son, how illegal they were, how disobedient they were, and how they negotiated peace with the Liao bandits without authorization, Officer Lei Titang sneered, but he didn't say anything, just put down the documents.

"Elder-in-law also believes in these groundless comments? My lord has always been loyal to the country. Others don't know, but Eunuch always knows."

"Of course our family knows the painstaking efforts of the Duke of the country, so we ordered people in the ceremonial supervisor to suppress all these impeachment texts, and never let the emperor know. You also know that the current military situation is very bad, and the emperor is very angry. It's very big. If he finds out, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the Duke."

"I'm afraid you're a hammer!" Official Lei Titang scolded disdainfully in his heart, "How dare you try to move a finger on the lord and the young commander if you have the ability?!" With a smile all over his face, "Elder-in-law is so wrongly in love, and the whole Nanyue Army naturally appreciates it."

"Take these documents back and show them to your Duke of the State. Tell the Duke of the capital about the affairs of the capital, so that if there is a decree, he will be a little flustered when he is ordered to understand the answer."

"Besides." Wang Chengen felt that his gesture of goodwill was enough, and it was time to negotiate the price.

"Now the new army of the Beijing camp is preparing and training, and there is no shortage of food and equipment. You can ask your master, if you have more, you might as well send one or two to the capital for the time being to relieve the urgent need."

"I'm going to fuck you! I've been busy for a long time, and I still want something!"

Walking out of Wang Chengen's mansion, Lei Titang official cursed secretly on the horse.

After bargaining with Wang Chengen, he finally gave the Southern Guangdong Army 5000 military uniforms with swords and guns, 15 armors, [-] firecrackers and [-] rounds of medicine, [-] yuan in military pay, and [-] shi. Grain and rice are used as the condition of military rations, which can be regarded as thanking the imperial court for its generosity towards the Southern Guangdong Army.

"Don't go back to the mansion, you guys, go directly to the Chaoyangmen Wharf to see if there is a tank boat going to Tianjin tonight, and send these documents to the Lord. By the way, go to Jinan to meet the young marshal, and send them to the capital. Report to him that this group of silverfish is planning to rob us again, please make a decision!"

In retaliation, Lei Datangguan planned to go find Wu Liangfu tonight.Take away thousands of volumes of the Yongle Canon in one go!

The turmoil about peace negotiations became silent as the eunuchs of all sizes carried boxes of Yongle ceremonies out of Huangshichen under the cover of night and onto the boats in Tongzi Hanoi.After several twists and turns, these Yongle ceremonies appeared on the sea boats in Nigu, Tianjin, and sailed southward.

Although Guangzhou in early summer is not as blooming as it is in spring, it is also full of greenery. From time to time, you can see blooming flowers and plants wherever you can see.Looking down the mountain from Yuexiu Tower, it is even more colorful.If you look into the distance with a telescope, you can see that the rice fields on both sides of the Pearl River are also flowering and earing. The green and fat rice makes the busy farmers in the rice fields laugh with joy on their dark faces from time to time.

Occasionally, there are naughty children, holding up the fish and crabs they touched from the muddy water of the paddy fields, yelling happily beside their parents, which caused the adults to scold and blame.However, a bumper harvest is in sight, and a good situation is just around the corner, who would have the same knowledge as a few naughty children?

But the boundless beauty didn't seem to bring Li Shouhan a good mood.At this time, he was sitting in front of the railing where he was originally looking at the scenery, and while stroking a woman's hair, he whispered comfortingly, "Okay, don't cry, I will scold those who should be scolded, and I will be ready if I should." Get ready, and you'll be fine."

At this time, the woman was nestled in Li Shouhan's arms, her face covered with tears.Like a little girl acting coquettishly with her parents, it is impossible to tell that this is the heroine of the female middle school and the proud poplar among the Daur people——Aolei Yilan.Ao Lei Yilan who gave Li Shouhan a son.The body is a bit plump, and the charm of a young woman is much stronger.Unfortunately, the tears on her face made her look a bit haggard.

Although there was no radio far away, the news of the defeat of the Saurons in Heilongjiang was sent to Guangzhou at an astonishing speed.After receiving the report, Li Shouhan kicked over the table angrily, but he didn't wait for him to express his anger.Ao Lei Yilan fainted upon hearing the news, so Li Shouhan had no choice but to visit Ao Lei Yilan first.When Aolei Yilan woke up, it was even more troublesome. This fiery Oroqen woman simply ordered her dowry woman to pack her bags, saying that she was going back to Heilongjiang to clean up the remnants of the defeated generals and desperately looking for Huang Taiji, which made Li Shouhan dumbfounded.

No way, Li Shouhan had to patiently tell Ao Lei Yilan a little common sense: first, Huang Taiji usually hides in Shenyang, you go to Heilongjiang to find him and go far; It is more convenient for soldiers and horses to cross the sea and march eastward.Ao Lei Yilan nodded after listening, and then opened her big eyes and said cutely that she would go to Shandong to join Li Huayu's crusade.

Li Shouhan's head was covered with sweat immediately, and he said to himself that I finally believed it now, that if a person loses his head, the IQ of a pig is higher than that of a human.However, this cannot be said directly. Li Shouhan doesn't care whether Ao Lei Yilan can listen to it or not. Can't be separated, but as long as he is free, Huang Taiji can't run away.

While comforting Ao Lei Yilan, Li Shouhan mocked himself in his heart: "It's what you deserve! Who told you to marry such a savage girlfriend? A little girlfriend who is younger than your daughter! How can you not coax me!?"

After all, Ao Lei Yilan finally dispelled the idea of ​​going north.However, Ao Lei Yilan still refused to give up. She believed that Li Peiting and Long Shengxing were definitely the culprits for this defeat. If they had tried their best, how could this happen?It has to be said that sometimes a woman's intuition is better than a prophet's. Although it is just a wild guess, it actually hits the truth directly.It's just that this kind of thing obviously can't convince Li Shouhan. Of course, Li Shouhan just can't convict Li Peiting because of this, but a scolding is still okay.

So, a letter full of Li Shouhan's various grievances and anger was carried by the speedboat of Nanzhong and sent to Temple Street at the mouth of Heilongjiang at the fastest speed.

The reply letter was sent as fast as possible.After reading Li Peiting's reply, Li Shouhan remained silent.Because according to Li Peiting's narration, although it cannot be said that Long Shengxing is not at fault, the main responsibility is definitely the Saurons.

In the letter, Li Peiting complained bitterly, saying that the environment he was in was extremely dangerous. First of all, the caravans were weakly armed and lacked strong enough fortresses. Ordinary barbaric tribes attacked, so they really had no strength to attack Jiannu.Moreover, the enemy of the caravan is not the Jiannu, but the Raksha people.

Although the Raksha people do not have a large and well-equipped army like Jiannu, they are as fierce and greedy as Jiannu, and they have artillery to help them, making them a greater threat than Jiannu!Although it is said that the Raksha people have been very calm recently, the detectives have never stopped. As the saying goes, the heart of harming others is indispensable, and the heart of defense is indispensable. Therefore, the main force of the caravan armed forces is used to guard against continuous attacks from the west. The Raksha people who invaded did not have the energy to deal with the Jiannu in the south.

Secondly, Li Peiting complained that Long Shengxing was in an embarrassing position.Although Long Shengxing has a very good relationship with various tribes in Heilongjiang, most of them treat Long Shengxing's buddies and shopkeepers as leaders.However, Li Peiting and others are not their leaders after all.Therefore, when encountering major events, Long Shengxing only has the right to make suggestions, not the right to make decisions.He said that he strongly opposed the fight against the Liaodong rebels this time, but the big boss refused to listen and insisted on fighting, so he really had no choice.Therefore, I have to carry out another order of the lord, which is to fully respect the leaders of these tribes, and not to regard myself as the immediate superior of others.

As for the specific combat process, Li Peiting described it in detail.According to Li Peiting's narration, combined with Li Shouhan's own understanding, in the end Li Shouhan can only believe that this is called manpower being poor sometimes.It should be said that as far as Sauron's ability is concerned, it is not bad to be able to achieve this level.At the beginning, they were able to retreat in a planned way to lure the enemy, and then changed to a large-scale ambush. It was not until Ecuador fought a beautiful ambush that these barbarians got carried away. This already has the meaning of a feudal army. It is even comparable to the Ming army.As for the final stage, it can be regarded as expected.To say that it was better than expected, first of all, Bomu Boguer and other big bosses ran out, secondly, Ecuador also injured Huang Taiji, and finally the caravan armed forces performed well, intervening in time to pursue and block The pursuit troops of the Qing army were on the bank of the Heilongjiang River, and provoked and shelled the Qing army, and also chased the Qing army along the river and fired bombardments, and even took back a large amount of horses and equipment.It should be said that the performance is still possible.It's just this scene, but Li Shouhan thought of a scene in old China. One of the five permanent warships ran rampant in the Yangtze River, sank fishing boats, crashed cargo ships, and had an artillery battle with the army on the north bank, which almost caused another armed attack. put one's oar in.Um, is this an illusion?Well, it must be an illusion.

After finally getting rid of the entanglement of a scene in his mind, Li Shouhan continued to look down.In the following content, Li Peiting mentioned that he will cooperate with the Saurons to develop the gold mine, so as to restore their vitality as soon as possible.At the same time, it is planned to expand the armed forces of the caravan. In addition to defending against possible attacks by Liaodong rebels, more importantly, it is to deter the Raksha people.According to Li Peiting's report, since the incident at the mouth of the Sancha River, the Raksha people have significantly increased the frequency of investigations, and even tried to catch their tongues. Fortunately, the caravan has taken precautions, so not only did the Raksha people not make a profit, they were also killed by our side several times. people, capture one person.However, the so-called people who don’t have a thousand days to guard against thieves, instead of letting thieves harass them every day, it’s better for our side to expand our armaments and then hold a martial arts show.However, this matter is of great importance and must be decided by Li Shouhan himself.Therefore, Li Peiting finally emphasized that the master should decide as soon as possible how to deal with it.
