Blood from Daming

Chapter 233 The Jiang Family
Xue Yun sat in the big tent with Commander Luo of the Datong Guard, and Commander Luo said, "Brother Xue, old brother wants to be convinced, what kind of tricks do you want to make in Datong?"

Xue Yun didn't expect Commander Luo to ask such a direct question, so Xue Yun could only say: "To tell the truth, Brother Luo and my younger brother are just making money silently in Datong, anyway, we all share wealth together."

Commander Luo said: "Brother Xue, you not only made great contributions to the imperial court at Hongluo Mountain this time, but also brought back nearly one million northern goods. It is worth getting 150 million in Datong Prefecture. That Mongolian princess Hari Jula is always a hidden danger, but you should be prepared for danger in times of peace."

Xue Yun was very grateful to Commander Luo for saying so clearly that it was for his own good, but he said if you, Commander Luo, knew that I had already eaten Nurhachi's real gold and silver, would you still say that? The Beihuo worth 10 taels of silver that he was given to him was also intended to be taken back to Datong to share the spoils. Commander Luo made the supervisor Zhang Eunuch, Shanxi Governor Zhao Master and others just wait for less, but Xue Yun didn't expect that he would do this. The 10 taels of Beihuo was given to Commander Luo, but Commander Luo actually broke his heart with him, Xue Yun really didn't know how to tell him.

Commander Luo said: "Brother Xue, you think highly of your elder brother. My elder brother just had a drink today. You are too powerful now. I am afraid that once Jianlu is defeated, the imperial court will deal with you. You can consider whether there is a way out."

Xue Yun saw that Commander Luo was talking about this, and that if he kept hiding, he would be looked down upon by others, so he said to Commander Luo, "Brother Luo, it is my younger brother's long-cherished wish to fight Jianlu. If one day The imperial court is not good for my younger brother, and my younger brother wants to separate Datong Beilian Ha Rizhula to protect himself, I don’t know how my elder brother will treat me.”

Commander Luo said slowly: "It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. My family has been hereditary in Datong Town for more than 200 years. How many generations have gone through the vicissitudes of life in the world? From my ancestors to me, I have been working in the Wei Office. Dare to say that I am a good official, but I still have a conscience. Seeing that the soldiers under my command don’t have enough food and clothing, and the life of Yu Ding, the old and the weak, women and children at home is even more difficult. Many girls and daughters-in-law don’t even have a decent dress , I used to think that the way of the world is like this, but since my brother came to Datong, the life of the officers, soldiers, military households, and common people in Datong has become better and better. Most people are afraid that you will leave Datong Mansion."

Xue Yun: "Brother, Datong is also the lifeblood of my Xue family, and I won't let it go easily."

Commander Luo said: "Brother, brother, how did I hear that you are going to take the post of Liaodong forward commander? Once you leave the imperial court, you will send another official to Datong. If Datong's border trade business is taken by outsiders, it will not only be your Xue family, but also Datong. The good times of officials and soldiers and civilians are probably coming to an end."

Seeing that Commander Luo made his point clear, Xue Yun said: "My younger brother's appointment as the Liaodong forward commander is purely wishful thinking by Mr. Sun Chengzong, and the officials of the court may not agree. As long as the Xue family's military and economic interests in Datong are guaranteed, there should be many solutions for the younger brother to go to Liaodong, and if you and I are in the Great Tang Dynasty, what do you think big brother will be."

Commander Luo: "If the establishment of the vassal town can really protect the interests of Datong and the government, Datong has brothers who are the most powerful soldiers in the world, and the imperial court may be powerless even if it has any ideas. The only thing to worry about is the lack of food in Datong. Once disputes with the imperial court arise It is dangerous to be cut off from Datong, the source of food."

Xue Yun: "Brother's food problem, my younger brother has a way to solve it. Now Datong is willing to do it with you and my brother and those people."

Commander Luo said: "Brother, what you said is wrong. It wasn't you and my brother who did it, but the elder brother followed the brother. I don't know about the others. Basically, there is nothing wrong with the guard."

Xue Yun was overjoyed: "Brother, with Datong now under the control of you and me, most of the foreign trade wealth of the Ming Dynasty will fall into our hands. By then, I will not lose my rich family. If you enter, you can see the world with a smile." Things change."

That night, Commander Xue Yun and Commander Luo reached an agreement on an invisible separatist Datong with Xue Yun as the main force. , You Qian, and Fang Qian’s main generals had other rewards. The Datong officers and soldiers who had a carnival all night got rewards again. Both officers and soldiers were very happy. In the words of Commander Luo, it was to follow Xue Yun The generals get money for those who eat hot food and drink spicy food.

Commander Luo's statement made the guards' worship of Xue Yun public. Mr. You Qian also expressed his loyalty to Xue Yun several times in battles. Mr. Fang Qian was ambiguous when he came out with Xue Yun for the first time, but the two The officers and soldiers under him did not hide their affection for Xue Yun at all.

On the third day, Xue Yun led this army with high morale and greatly strengthened loyalty into the Ying'en Gate of Datong City. General Liang, Mr. Fei Qian, Mr. Tu Qian, Mr. Wang Qian, Mr. Wang Qian, and Mr. Lian Qian all greeted him at the Yingen Gate. Accompanied by Eunuch Zhang and Governor Zhao, Xue Yun went all the way to the Supervisor's Mansion. Go, the army went back to camp and then disbanded for vacation.

Xue Yun entered the Supervisory Mansion and the banquet was ready. The civil and military officials of Datong Mansion, the gentry, elders, celebrities and scholars had already arrived. As soon as Xue Yun arrived, everyone immediately offered countless compliments. The next time, General Xue not only defeated the Mongolian cavalry, but also helped Sun Chengzong, the governor of Liaodong, to defeat the Jianlu Dabeile Daishan and wipe out more than ten thousand Tartars. Everyone wishes General Xue every step of the way, let him have three glasses of wine first."

Xue Yun picked up the wine glasses with everyone and drank three glasses in a row, and then everyone sat down to eat, but soon someone came to toast Xue Yun. Xue Yun saw that it was Mr. Jiang, the owner of "Xu Ji Silk Village", who was doing business with Mr. Wang , Xue Yun was surprised that he had no relationship with Patriarch Jiang, why was he the first to come up to toast to him today, thinking of Master Qi Bo's instructions, he naturally wanted to give Patriarch Jiang face, so he picked up the wine glass and clinked a glass with Patriarch Jiang .

"It turned out that General Jiang Dashan drank this glass of wine for the people of Datong City." After speaking, Xue Yun tilted his neck and drank the wine in the glass.

Patriarch Jiang also hurriedly drank the wine in his hand, and then quickly said in a low voice: "General Xue, Xiaomin has a daughter who is willing to enter Xue's mansion as a slave and invite the general's subordinates."

Xue Yun stayed there immediately after hearing this, looked at Patriarch Jiang with some doubts and said: "Patriarch Jiang, you are also a prominent figure in Datong Mansion, how can I accept your daughter as a servant, don't mention this matter again."

Patriarch Jiang was in a hurry: "General Xue, I beg you to help the common people. The little girl serving the general is also to repay the favor to the general for the people of Datong."

Xue Yun couldn't help hesitating when he heard this, and at this moment the governor Mr. Zhao who was sitting next to him pulled Xue Yun's clothes. Xue Yun immediately understood that Patriarch Jiang sent his daughter into Xue's mansion, so he said to Patriarch Jiang: Patriarch, everyone celebrates the victory of our Datong Army today, it’s not too late to miss these things today, Eunuch Zhang and Master Zhao, why don’t we go to every table to have fun with the officials and gentry of Datong Mansion.”

Eunuch Zhang, the eunuch of the Supervising Army, and Mr. Zhao, the governor of Shanxi, all stood up when they heard that Xue Yun wanted to avoid Patriarch Jiang. No one thought that Patriarch Jiang would grab Xue Yun, and the officials and guests of the Supervising Army Mansion were all surprised. , Xue Yun felt a burst of fire in his heart and was about to explode, but felt that Patriarch Jiang was scratching on his arm. Xue Yun couldn't help calming down and secretly understanding what Patriarch Jiang was scratching. Xue Yun quickly guessed that Patriarch Jiang was writing With the word "Qi", countless thoughts flashed through Xue Yun's mind, and finally he decided to take advantage of his ignorance to take over this trouble, otherwise he would have no room to maneuver to pick up his daughter after knowing who Patriarch Jiang's opponent is.

"Patriarch Jiang agreed to your daughter to work in the General Military Mansion because of my master's face." After Xue Yun finished speaking, he also heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing the governor Zhao Master sighing softly, Xue Yun himself did not understand Datong. There are also people in the government that make the governor of Shanxi, Mr. Zhao, worry.

Xue Yun is completely ignorant of the inside story, anyway, he will not go back on his word, so he took Eunuch Zhang and Mr. Zhao to each table, and the three giants of Datong Mansion, General Xue, Eunuch Zhang, and Mr. Zhao Come to offer a toast to everyone. All the civil and military officials, country gentry, elders, celebrities, and celebrities in the city were all very excited. Eunuch Zhang and Mr. Zhao saw that the situation was not good, ordered their subordinates to rescue them, and at the same time walked quickly in front of the twenty tables of guests, and ended hastily.

The good celebration banquet was broken up by Patriarch Jiang and two unconscious people. The people who came to the banquet scolded the three bereaved stars in a quiet place, but since then, everyone had to break up and leave He left the Supervisory Mansion.

In the inner room of Eunuch Zhang in the Supervisory Army Mansion, there were only Xue Yun, Eunuch Zhang, and Mr. Zhao sitting at a round table. Don't you feel it?"

Xue Yun: "Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for reminding, but Patriarch Jiang asked for the junior general, and the latter is really hard to let go because of the master's face."

Mr. Zhao said: "General Xue, you are in big trouble now."

Xue Yun looked at Eunuch Zhang and Lord Zhao and said, "Is there anyone more powerful in Datong Mansion than the three of us? If the two elder brothers like Patriarch Jiang's daughter, I have no choice but to ask the two elder brothers to cut off their love."

Eunuch Zhang shook his head and said to Xue Yun: "General Xue, with the friendship between you and me, would I, a useless person, still compete with you for a woman?"
