Blood from Daming

Chapter 294
Xin Wang Zhu Youjian nodded and said: "Gu also thinks so. Some officials in the imperial court are really hateful. The party fights against the dissidents and eliminates the dissidents. This time the emperor's brother wronged Xue Yun, which caused the Xue family to suffer a lot. I don't know the Xue family people think so."

Luo Sigong, the commander of Jin Yiwei, replied: "The Xue family has been loyal and good for generations, so I think they will not have any complaints against the emperor."

Xin Wang Zhu Youjian said: "I hope so, Mr. Luo, the Xue family's business skills are still very high."

Jin Yiwei Commander Luo Sigong said: "My lord, the Xue family's business profits are very thin, and most of the time they are almost doing good deeds, which is why so many people fight for the Xue family's injustice."

The letter king Zhu Youjian asked: "Master Luo, people in the capital say that Xue Yun is a plutocrat in Datong's Ming Dynasty who runs foreign trade in Datong. These cheap rice sales are all for fame."

Jin Yiwei Commander Luo Sigong said: "Your Majesty, Datong's foreign trade does make money, but all the civil and military officials of Datong Mansion participate. Xue Yun does not have many shares in Datong Mansion, and it all depends on the "Xue Ji Silk Cloth" business to make money. Basically, the Xue family paid for it themselves. This time, the Xue family suffered heavy losses in the battle of Hongluo Mountain. The money they lost was gone, so although the Xue family made a lot of money, they still spent money like water. "

Xin Wang Zhu Youjian sighed and said: "It is not a blessing for the country to raise troops for generals."

Jin Yiwei Commander Luo Sigong said: "My lord, it is said that the household department and the military department have sent Xue Yun millions of dollars, but the household department and the military department have never cashed in. A few days ago, I went to Xue Rui's place. Sick in bed, worrying about the pensions of the thousands of dead officers and soldiers of the Xue family."

Xin Wang Zhu Youjian: "Lord Luo, I always feel that Xue Yun went to Mobei, Mongolia to kill Zhu Youhua, the remnant of Jianwen, and he probably got the news and left Datong Mansion to avoid disaster."

Jin Yiwei Commander Luo Sigong: "My lord, there should be this possibility, but judging from the time when the proposal and the mission arrived in the capital, Xue Yun will not get the news that Jianlu wants the court to kill him before he goes to Mobei, Mongolia."

Xin Wang Zhu Youjian: "Even if Xue Yun is loyal to the king's affairs, he has become a warlord now, not to mention Xue Yun is used to fighting, and in time, who else can control him in Ming Dynasty."

Jin Yiwei Commander Luo Sigong saw that Xin Wang Zhu Youjian was very prejudiced against Xue Yun, so he stopped explaining. After a while, Xin Wang Zhu Youjian asked: "Master Luo, why did Master Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion jump out to defend Xue Yun?" The family is talking."

Jinyiwei Commander Luo Sigong sincerely said that the Xue family is a subordinate of the clan mansion "Qiankun Sunyue Ling", even me, the Jinyiwei Commander, this secret cannot be told casually to believe in the prince, only when you become the emperor will you have a chance know the secret.

Jin Yiwei Commander Luo Sigong: "My lord, the Xue family has served the imperial court for generations, and they have the "gold medal for avoiding death" bestowed by the late emperor, and the family members of Zhu in the patriarchal family appreciate Xue Yun very much. This may be the reason why Zhu's family pleaded with the emperor to the Xue family.

Xin Wang Zhu Youjian said angrily: "This old man used to flatter Concubine Zheng, but now he has been hooking up with Fu Wang Zhu Changxun. Could it be that he still wants to show favor to Xue's family?"

Jin Yiwei Commander Luo Sigong said, "My lord, what shall we do with the Xue family?"

Xin Wang Zhu Youjian: "Liaodong still needs Xue's family. After those people from Meridian Gate come back, let Wang Yongguang and Bi Ziyan restrain our people and don't go to Xue's house to make trouble."

Jin Yiwei Commander Luo Sigong: "My lord, but we can't greet those people from the Donglin Party."

Xin Wang Zhu Youjian: "The Donglin Party members have all been poisoned by books. With Wei Zhongxian, a tiger, squatting beside them, they will die miserably if this continues."

After the large-scale brawl caused by the parade riot in Xue's Mansion in the capital, although some scholars and scholars went to Xue's Mansion to shout and scold, it was obviously unorganized stragglers. Following the Emperor Tianqi's request for eunuchs to send a batch of food condolences to Xue's Mansion, it also showed that The emperor did not completely abandon the Xue family, and the wave of anti-Xue family bureaucrats in the capital also entered a trough.

What happened next was a bit complicated. After Jianlu established the capital in Shenyang, a large army gathered and swords were drawn, and the Liaodong area became a powder keg, which could trigger a war at any time.

However, Jianlu Nurhachi actually approved the return of the land south of the line of Yizhou, Guangning, and Liaohe Xipingbao to Daming. He just said that Shenyang had become the capital of the Jin Kingdom and could no longer be returned to the Ming Dynasty.

The Kingdom of Jin fulfilled the negotiation terms of the Ming-Jin peace treaty, and promised to return the land south of Yizhou, Guangning, and Liaohe Xipingbao. It is acceptable to lose the land south of the Xipingbao line and the land north of Shenyang.

After the brief attack by the captives on the establishment of the capital in Shenyang, the officials of the Ming Dynasty began to praise the success of the Ming-Jin peace talks. They waited for the imperial court to send troops to recover the land south of the line of Yizhou, Guangning, and Liaohe Xipingbao. You can have a big celebration, and everyone is waiting for the emperor's reward to get promoted and make a fortune.

However, the Liaodong military responded with a different attitude. Emergency documents from officials at all levels and memorials asking for soldiers and pay came like snowflakes. It is clearly written in the memorial of Liaodong Economic Strategy Master Sun Chengzong that Jianlu established his capital in Shenyang. Later, the Eight Banners will gather, and there will inevitably be a big war in Liaodong. Now sending troops to take over the ruined Yizhou, Guangning, and Liaohe Xiping Forts is tantamount to treating the lives of Ming soldiers as Jianlu's plate. .

General Mao Wenlong, the commander-in-chief of the Zuodu Governor of Dongjiang Town, made a secret memorial: Jianludun soldiers on the side of the Yalu River, there are signs of a large-scale invasion of North Korea. If nothing happens, Jianlu will attack North Korea in the middle and late May. Mao Wenlong mentioned hope The imperial court dispatched troops in Liaodong and Liaoxi to contain Jianlu. It would be best if the Mongolian Lindan Khan and Horqin tribes also attacked Jianlu to support North Korea and Dongjiang Town, and then asked the imperial court to allocate salaries, food, weapons and other materials as soon as possible. Prepare for battle against the upcoming attack of Jianlu.

Liaodong, Dongjiang, and even North Korea’s letters of appeal for help were also in the hands of Emperor Mingqi. At this time, more than a month after the victory at Hongluo Mountain, the first batch of troops and salaries to support Liaodong were sent out. The army was mobilized by the Ministry of War in Beizhili and Shandong. There were a total of about 5000 people, of which Weisuo soldiers accounted for more than half, and of the more than 3000 guards, there were more than 20 Weisuo Yuding temporarily recruited. Such a team cannot be used without re-polishing for a period of time when it arrives in Liaodong. The [-] taels of silver cobbled together by the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War, a batch of weapons, armored battles, clothes, etc. were sent over.

As for Dongjiang Town, the imperial court really had no money to spend, so it had to order Wu Zhiwang, the governor of Denglai, to transport Mao Wenlong a few ships of food and a small amount of weapons to deal with it. A major event that shocked the court took place in the great territory.

The new general of Datong Town, Qu Jiazhen, took his eldest son, Qu Zonghai, and his second son, Qu Chaohai, with more than 1000 confidants of Ding’s family, and rushed towards Datong Town at night and night, passing through Qu Jiazhen in Xuanhua City. I met with Wang Guozhen, Governor of Xuanda. Qu Jiazhen stayed in Xuanhua City and hoped to get the support of Governor Wang Guozhen of Xuanda in the future. It is better to say that no matter who is the commander-in-chief of Datong, it is better than Xue Yun being the commander-in-chief of Datong.

After Qu Jiazhen, the new general of Datong Town, left Xuanhua City, he almost encountered some kind of curse and began to have bad luck. Qu Jiazhen passed through the city from Wanquan City, and when he came to Hejialiangzi, he walked parallel on the mountain Leading a caravan, Qu Jiazhen took his eldest son Qu Zonghai, his second son Qu Chao, and more than 1000 men along the dry river beach under the ridge. The road was very difficult. Qu Jiazhen's team was slow. down.

The soldiers of Qu Jiazhen in front were paving the road, so Qu Jiazhen had time to look up at the surrounding scenery. When Qu Jiazhen saw a caravan walking on the mountain ridge, he suddenly had some insights and called two people not far away. Qu Jiazhen pointed to the mountain beam and said, "Where did you see what?"

The eldest son, Qu Zonghai, and the second son, Qu Chaohai, looked towards the mountain ridge. The second son, Qu Chaohai, said, "My lord father has seen that there is a caravan heading towards Datong."

Qu Jiazhen nodded and shook his head. The eldest son, Qu Zonghai, was more stable and rarely spoke first. Now his father nodded and shook his head, indicating that what his father wanted to ask was not about the caravan. Qu Zonghai thought that his family would go to Datong Town now. As an official, his father should test his two brothers' military talents, so Qu Zonghai squinted his eyes and remembered.

After a while, Qu Zonghai said to his father, Qu Jiazhen: "My lord father wants to test the child's military ability, son, let's take a look. If the caravan on the mountain ridge is the enemy army, we are now in danger under the ridge. "

Qu Jiazhen nodded and smiled when he heard his eldest son Qu Zonghai, and then said to his second son Qu Chaohai: "Chaohai, you still don't think about it. Your elder brother has thought about it a lot. You have to look at the essence through the phenomenon, and you have to look at the essence when you use soldiers." By analogy, there are murderous intentions hidden everywhere in the vast wilderness."

The eldest son Qu Zonghai said: "My lord, my brother's mind has not yet entered the state, just go to Datong Town and tighten the string in my heart."
