Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 95 The First Information

Li Jing took Shen Ying back to the mountain slowly, and as soon as he arrived at the door of Shen's house, he felt someone looking around. Li Jing took a cold look and saw Chen Dahu, Liu Erlen, Zhou Huhu and others standing in line.

Li Jing smiled and said to Shen Ying: "In the future, whenever you want to go out for a walk, you can go out for a walk, and don't care about other people's opinions."

Shen Yingen gave a sound, nodded slightly, and helped Xiaodie enter the door.

When Shen Ying entered, Li Jing glanced at the corner and said, "Get out!"

"I don't dare to go there, I'm afraid my elder brother will cut me." Liu Er laughed blankly.

Chen Dahu ran over and fanned Li Jing vigorously with a fan: "Brother, calm down, I will fan you."

"Damn it! You guys want to piss me off, right?" Li Jing turned around and kicked Chen Dahu's ass.

Unexpectedly, Chen Dahu was already guarding against Li Jing's move, dodged to the side, lightly dodged Li Jing's kick, turned around and fanned Li Jing a few more times, and then ran out laughing.

Seeing Chen Dahu's actions, Li Jing was furious, but in the end he was too embarrassed to chase after him, so he could only shout loudly: "Gao Qi, Gao Qi, where did you die?"

After a while, Gao Qi came over: "Brother, did you call me?"

Li Jingjing nodded, pointed at Chen Dahu, Liu Erleng and others and said to Gao Qi: "Gao Qi, these boys, and the kid who is talking nonsense to them, you drill them hard for me, today's training task Double it for me."

"Ah?" Chen Dahu and others screamed loudly.

Gao Qi smiled and said: "Brother, you can do it well, let's see if I can't train them to death."

After speaking, he waved his hand and asked Chen Dahu and others to go back to training with him.

After walking a few steps, Liu Er suddenly shouted, "Wrong? Big Brother! No! It was Gao Qi who gave us the idea, why don't you just punish us and not him?"

Li Jingwen was furious when he heard this: "Gao Qi, you bastard, stop!"

Then Gao Qi shouted: "Brothers, run!"

Following Gao Qi's call, the crowd scattered like birds and beasts, and disappeared in an instant.

Seeing Gao Qi and others running faster than rabbits, Li Jing was stunned, smiled wryly, shook his head, and walked to his residence.

Li Jing was walking when he suddenly saw Gao Qi running towards this side in a hurry, followed by another person.

"Brother, you didn't go to Uncle Shen's house? I thought you would have dinner at Uncle Shen's house, so I brought someone over." Gao Qi said.

Li Jing glared at Gao Qi fiercely, and said with a smile, "Damn it, if you didn't give advice to those guys and embarrass me, why should I go home to eat by myself?"

Gao Qi grinned and said, "It's rare to make a joke with big brother, don't blame it, don't blame it."

Li Jing shook his head and said with a smile: "It's rare for brothers to find me happy, do you think I'll be really angry?"

Gao Qi nodded with a smile, and then said seriously: "Brother, a letter has been delivered from the capital."

Li Jing saw that the man delivering the letter was covered in sweat and was still panting, so he immediately waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, wipe off your sweat first."

The man wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve, then took out a thick envelope from his pocket and handed it over: "To the Master, this is the latest news from the capital, please have a look at it."

Li Jingjing nodded, took the envelope and opened it casually.

The news that Ma Wu sent back some time ago is actually not intelligence at all, it can only be regarded as a work report, and it is all about his own situation in the capital, and he only mentioned the news of the court slightly.

Because these people just arrived in the capital, all the news they got was from the mouths of ordinary people, so they could only be regarded as hearsay.

But this time, it was the intelligence personnel who broke into the capital and got the exact information through their connections.

Therefore, this letter is actually the first piece of information that Ma Wu's people sent back after they entered the capital.

The handwriting on the letter is really not very good, and it matches the handwriting written by Li Jing.

But Li Jing didn't care, and being able to write it showed that the people under his command really cared.

If the words in the letter were neatly written, Li Jing would be unhappy instead, which means that the letter was written by someone else.

If someone writes intelligence, it means that these people are impatient.

The content of this letter is actually not much, it just talks about some recent events in the court, which doesn't make much sense on the surface.

But this is exactly what Li Jing wanted.

Intelligence work is to analyze useful things from some seemingly worthless news.

Due to poor handwriting, it took Li Jing a long time to read the letter.

When Li Jing finished reading, he was already sitting in the study, drinking a cup of herbal tea during the period.

After Li Jing finished reading, Gao Qi asked, "Brother, what's going on in the court?"

Li Jing smiled and handed the letter to Gao Qi: "You can read it yourself."

Gao Qi hurriedly waved his hand: "Forget it, I have limited literacy, so I don't have to suffer from that crime. Big brother just tell me."

Li Jing shook his head, threw the letter on the table, and sighed, "Follow-up news about Ning Jin's great victory."

The Great Victory of Ningjin took place in May of the seventh year of Tianqi, nearly a year after the death of Master Ha Chi.

This battle was the first major battle launched by Huang Taiji against the Ming Dynasty after he succeeded to the throne.

After this battle, Jin dispatched [-] elite soldiers to besiege Jinzhou, Ningyuan and other important military places of Ming Dynasty.

However, under the command of Yuan Chonghuan, Man Gui, and Zhao Lijiao, Houjin was defeated. Houjin suffered heavy casualties and finally had no choice but to retreat.

This campaign was also the last big victory of the Ming Dynasty against Hou Jin.

This battle has long been reported by the imperial court to the world, and Li Jing and others have long known that it was Daming who won the battle.

Gao Qiqi said: "Didn't you win the battle? Is there any follow-up news?"

Li Jing smiled and shook his head, will he be fine after beating?After winning the battle, those who make meritorious service should be rewarded, right?Those who died should be given pensions, right?

There is no need for the imperial court to tell the common people these news, so naturally they will not spread the news down to the residence.

Without the Dibao, Li Jing and others were far away in Henan, so it was naturally impossible to know the information after the battle.

Li Jing arranged for people to go to Beijing to collect information, and what he wanted to collect was the information that was not published in the residence.

Li Jing smiled wryly and said, "Do you know who contributed the most?"

Gao Qi wondered: "Isn't it Yuan Chonghuan, the governor who commanded this battle?"

Li Jing shook his head and said, "No, Wei Zhongxian is the one who made the most of it."

"Ah?" Gao Qi was stunned when he heard this.

"The second is the eunuch who supervises the army, and the second is the eunuch. I don't know what this person does, and neither does the person who wrote the letter." Li Jing continued.

"Damn it, what level of merit was proposed by Governor Yuan?" Gao Qi scolded.

Li Jing sighed and said: "I don't know, there are a bunch of people in front of him, and there is a child among them, who is four years old this year, and he was granted the title of Marquis."

"Damn it! Four years old? Have you quit breastfeeding? Are you a Marquis?" Gao Qi cursed.

Li Jingjing nodded with a wry smile and said, "Yes, he is four years old. This child is Wei Zhongxian's grandson."

"I call his grandma! Wei Zhongxian's grandson was named Marquis because of Ning Jin's great victory? Does he not want to be the emperor?" Gao Qi scolded.

Li Jing smiled and continued, "Guess what Yuan Chonghuan's reward is?"

Gao Qi shook his head and said, "I can't guess, those people in the imperial court have gone astray. Such a thing can be done, I can't guess what Governor Yuan rewarded."

Li Jing stretched out three fingers to compare, then sighed and said, "The reward is 30 taels of silver, and it has been upgraded to one level."

Hearing this result, Gao Qi opened his mouth wide and did not close it for a long time.

Such a result made him unable to even curse at others.

The soldiers fought desperately to win this battle, and the top general who led the army only rewarded 30 taels of silver, so it goes without saying what rewards the little pawns below can give.

After a while, Li Jing continued: "Also, Yuan Chonghuan was impeached."

"What?" Gao Qi opened his eyes wide and asked in surprise, "Impeached? He was impeached after winning the battle? What is the reason for impeaching him?"

Li Jing shook his head and said, "I don't understand either. The reason for impeachment is Yuan Chonghuan's failure in this battle."

"Twilight? What do you mean?" Gao Qi questioned.

"Twilight should be the weather when it's almost dark. I don't know what it means." Li Jing smiled wryly.

"It's his grandma's, what bastard bastard is looking for this reason? Is this kid well fed?" Gao Qi started cursing again.

Li Jing shook his head, looked at the person who delivered the letter and said, "You have worked hard. After you go back, you will thank your brothers for your hard work and tell them that you have done a good job. I am very pleased."

"Brother, brothers are worth everything you say! I'll go back and tell my brothers!" said the man who delivered the letter.

Li Jing smiled and said: "Not busy, you haven't come back for so long, you should stay at home for two days. Take some time to visit the brothers' homes, and go back so that you can tell the brothers about the situation at home, lest they miss you .Go, I won't keep you for dinner tonight, you can eat at home!"

"Thank you, brother!" the man said happily.

Li Jing waved his hand, and the man saluted and turned to leave.

After the man left, Li Jing got up and took a few steps in the room, then suddenly looked at Gao Qi and said, "Gao Qi, what you just said was right, the emperor is indeed ill, and according to the information revealed in this letter From the looks of it, the emperor should be seriously ill, otherwise there shouldn’t be such an outrageous award. The news from the imperial court in the capital is very important to us, and the manpower there is somewhat insufficient. I mean, we should increase the manpower and funds in the direction of the capital. Support from all sides. I am going to send another [-] people from the scout team to the capital, what do you think?"

Gao Qi hesitated for a moment and said: "Twenty people, brother, if we send another twenty people, we will not have enough scouts here. You know that we have done a lot of things in Weihui Mansion recently. If there is less, I am afraid that when the time comes..."

Li Jingjing nodded, knowing that Gao Qi was right.
