Blood from Daming

Chapter 164 Reconciliation
It was almost noon when Xue Yun got up the next day. Ao Lan and Lian Zi barely fell asleep at dawn after being tired all night. Let Yang Zhenlei send it out.

Xue Yun: "Director Yang, when will Sixth Brother come back?"

Yang Zhenlei: "The young master didn't ventilate before he came back. It is estimated that Xue Liu rushed back after receiving the news. He should be able to arrive this afternoon."

Xue Yun picked up the nutritious rice porridge brought by his servants and drank it. Yang Zhenlei said, "Master, almost all the military officers in Datong City are here. Would you like to meet them?"

Xue Yun: "Brother Yang, why didn't you say so earlier, go and see them."

Yang Zhenlei: "Yesterday, the young master came back late from pommel horse fatigue. Today, all the generals came to pay homage and they were not allowed to wake up the young master. That's why I waited for the young master to wake up before telling you."

Xue Yun and Yang Zhenlei walked quickly to the official hall of the outer courtyard. Xue Yun saw that almost all the military officers in Datong City were here, including Deputy General Yu, Commander of Datong Wei Luo, General Zhang, President Tu Qian, General Liang, and Fei Qian. Mr. Wang Qian, Mr. Wang Qian, Mr. You Qian, Mr. Li Xiaoyong, Mr. Yu Siqian, Mr. Lian Xiong Weiqian, Mr. Ji Tianen, and others, after Xue Yun saluted with everyone, he called everyone to sit down.

Xue Yun: "I have overslept on the pommel horse these few days. I am really sorry for keeping you waiting. Xue is here to apologize to everyone."

All the generals in the official hall said they did not dare, Xue Yun: "The general will be entrusted with the emperor's enquiry, and the Datong army will recruit and use all the Mongolian ministries. From today onwards, everyone will strengthen the defense of Datong City and train the troops carefully, understand?"

All the generals said in unison: "Understood."

Xue Yun: "Everyone doesn't need to be so restrained. Today is a private meeting and it's more casual. In addition, when you bring some souvenirs from the capital, don't forget to take them away."

Everyone thanked them together, since the chief general Xue Yun said that it was a private gathering, everyone became more active, whispering to each other and holding a meeting in the official hall, and a few people held a small meeting in private to catch up and connect with each other.

Xue Yun mainly chatted with Vice General Yu, Commander Wei Luo of Datong, General Zhang, General Tu Qian, and General Liang. At this time, Yang Zhenlei walked up to Xue Yun and whispered: "The eunuch Zhang Father-in-law invites your lord to go to the government to discuss matters."

Xue Yun nodded when he heard this, Deputy General Yu, Commander Wei Luo of Datong, General Zhang Can, President Tu Qian, and General Liang Can also heard Yang Zhenlei's words and ordered them to stand up and leave. Then, everyone knew that Eunuch Zhang, the eunuch of the supervising army, had invited his lord to go to the supervising military mansion to discuss matters, and they all came to bid farewell to Xue Yun, and went out to receive the gifts Xue Yun brought from the capital for everyone to scatter.

Xue Yun walked out of the gate of the Deputy Commander-in-Chief's Mansion together with Deputy General Yu who was walking at the end. Xue Yun mustered up his courage and shouted: "My lord father-in-law, how is Wanqin recently?" Although Xue Yun has many women, this is the first The second time I saw my father-in-law, I didn't know what to say, so I asked about it.

What Yu Dacheng has been waiting for today is this sentence, and now he is satisfied, so he stroked the beard on his chin and said: "My son-in-law, everything is fine at home, my daughter, I will convey my greetings for you."

After hearing this, Xue Yun had no choice but to go straight to the point and said, "Datong Mansion and Mongolia may meet each other at any time. I hope Xue and Yu's two families can communicate more and let Wanqin go to the General Military Mansion for a while."

Yu Dacheng pondered for a while: "This is not in line with etiquette. I will go back and ask my daughter what she thinks." Yu Dacheng is now breathing heavily on Xue Yun.

Xue Yun: "Thank you father-in-law." The two parted at the gate of the vice commander's mansion.

On the way Xue Yun rushed to the Supervisory Mansion, Yang Zhenlei galloped forward and walked alongside Xue Yun. Yang Zhenlei said to Xue Yun: "Young Master, the young lady's sister ran away again last night, but she was still arrested." The guards in the mansion have brought it back."

Xue Yun frowned and asked, "Is it Bumbutai? How do you take care of her now?"

Yang Zhenlei: "She is the young lady's younger sister, so my subordinates have no choice but to put her under house arrest. I don't know why Bumbutai often insults his sister and you, young master, in his yard recently. Already escaped three times once."

Xue Yun: "Give her some tricks, I don't believe she can't be dealt with anymore."

Yang Zhenlei: Young Master, she is Young Madam's biological sister. It might not be good for Young Madam to find out in the future.

Xue Yun: "I will take care of everything, and let me see if she is obedient or not."

After turning two blocks, we arrived at the Supervisory Mansion. The servants of the Supervisory Mansion greeted Xue Yun directly without telling them. Your lord is indeed here, sometimes Xue Yun thinks about himself, he is actually very lucky. It is a miracle that the civil and military officials in the same town in the Ming Dynasty and even the supervising army from the palace are all in harmony. Although Eunuch Zhang and Lord Zhao are greedy for money But in essence, they are still willing to do things for the country and the people. It is because of the unity of the troika of Xue Yun, Zhang Gonggong, and Mr. Zhao that Datong Mansion is in a very good situation today.

Eunuch Zhang warmly greeted Xue Yun to take his seat, and Xue Yun sat down informally: "Lord Zhao just happened to be with you, and I brought some gifts from the capital to my good Eunuch Zhang, and I will send my subordinates to deliver them to you later. "

Master Zhao hurriedly said politely: "It's really shameful for General Xue to take so much trouble."

Xue Yun: "Master Zhao worked so hard in Datong to pay tribute to your noble character." The two of them humbled each other.

Eunuch Zhang began to speak: "General Xue, a lot of things have happened to you in Xuanfu, the capital city, and you must have known it. It's just that the Xuanfu's rebellious soldiers entered the Chahar tribe, which caused the invasion of Xuanda by various Mongolian ministries. We Datong Mansion has also suffered greatly, now that the general is back, we must quickly discuss countermeasures to deal with the various Mongolian ministries.”

Xue Yun looked at Master Zhao and said, "Master Zhao would like to hear your opinion at the end."

Mr. Zhao: "This time, not only the troops from the Xuanfu, but also cavalry from Liaodong and many merchants joined in this time. Now the perpetrators have already reaped the consequences, but we innocent people are required to bear the responsibility. The three of us have worked together for a long time. To be honest, it’s not enough to fight and fight in Mongolia now, I’m afraid our Ming Dynasty has been tricked by the Jianzhou Jurchen.”

Eunuch Zhang: "This time the imperial court exempted many officials from the Xuanfu and Shanxi, and indeed found that those people were encouraged to enter the hinterland of Mongolia. It's just that the Xuanfu and Liaodong people who caused the trouble also died. The bastard wiped it."

Xue Yun: "What is scary now is not Mongolia, but the Jianzhou Tartars who will appear at an unknown time. If we and Mongolia suffer mutual losses, in the end, both Mongolia and our Datong will inevitably be destroyed."

Eunuch Zhang: "General Xue has always been on good terms with all Mongolian ministries. Can you come forward and negotiate peace with Mongolia?"

Xue Yun said with embarrassment: "Eunuch Zhang, the general has never heard what you said, so don't mention it."

Lord Zhao: "General Xue, don't need to worry. What the three of you and I have done has already gone out of line. If the court pursues it, it's just that the wealth we got is the same as that of the Caishikou in the capital. We are all in the same boat Nobody wants to go overboard."

Xue Yun pretended to be contemplative: "Since Mr. Zhao is so open-minded, he will not lie in front of the two lords. The key to whether the Mongolian affairs can be settled depends on what requirements the Horqin and Chahar Divisions of Mongolia have. After all, there are too many dead people in these two tribes, and the negotiations may take a lot of trouble."

Eunuch Zhang: "General Xue, as long as the Mongolian side is willing to negotiate, the conditions can be relaxed as much as possible, and the Mongolian invasion of the border can be dealt with as soon as possible, so that we can report the good news to Eunuch Wei as soon as possible."

Xue Yun: "Eunuch Zhang and Mr. Zhao are only returning to Datong at the end of the day. Many things are unknown. I am afraid that we will have to wait for Xue Liu to come back today to find out the details and find out a way to communicate with Mongolia."

When Xue Yun mentioned that there will be close to 200 million various kinds of goods from the South coming to Datong, Eunuch Zhang and Mr. Zhao became even more excited when they heard this. The Mongols do more business for themselves. According to the ratio of Xue Yun, Zhang Gonggong, Zhao Daren and Datong officials, the private merchants buy and sell Xue Yun, Zhang Gonggong, and the Mongolians one by one. Mr. Zhao’s 200 million goods can get 4 taels of silver per person. Eunuch Zhang and Mr. Zhao can also get some money from the officials’ share, as well as the income from monopoly materials bought by officials and sold by officials. Eunuch Zhang and Mr. Zhao are not greedy. Accounting for each person has 10 taels of silver that can be put into his own pocket.

Now Eunuch Zhang and Mr. Zhao wish that all the war business of Xuan Mansion will come to Datong Mansion. The two even hinted that Xue Yun will wait for them to go to war with Mongolia regardless of Xuan Mansion's life or death. Firmly determined to squat in Datong Mansion to make money, the two only hope that Xue Yun will make peace with Mongolia quickly, and take advantage of the opportunity of a large number of Mongolians stationed on the side wall, the two sides will carry out trade with each other and make money as soon as possible.
