Blood from Daming

Chapter 345 Bidding

Master Sun Chengzong said it nicely, but his thoughts on weakening the Xue family have not changed in his heart. Whether it is to win over the powerful figures of the Xue family or send them to merge with Jianluhuo, it will be of great benefit to the Ming Dynasty. It's a bad thing, but in the secret meeting of five people in the Jinglue Mansion, two of them were obviously dissatisfied with their own ideas, which made Mr. Sun Chengzong feel that he should be more concealed and smarter.

At this moment, Master Sun Chengzong's servant came in and reported: "My lord, Xue Si, the head of the Xue family, has arrived."

Master Sun Chengzong nodded to show that he understood, and his confidant Lu Shanji said: "Bring him in."

After a while, Lord Sun Chengzong's servant brought in a middle-aged man with a ferocious face from outside the hall. He only had one left eye and a long scar behind his ear, which made people feel a little shuddering.

Master Sun Chengzong said: "Come on, show Xue Yingxiong a seat."

Lord Sun Chengzong's servant immediately moved a chair over, Xue Si still bowed to the five adults in the government hall one by one, and then sat down on the chair moved by Lord Sun Chengzong's servant.

Master Sun Chengzong said: "Xue Yingxiong, the Liaodong Army is about to send troops to Yizhou to solve the crisis in North Korea. Xue Polu's troops are the elite of our Liaodong Army. They are waiting for your batch of munitions. It can be said that they are waiting for you. Now, Xue Yingxiong, you have made great contributions to the imperial court. This scripture shows that you are in your prime, so why don’t you serve the imperial court and make contributions to the frontier fortress? This scripture can give you the post of general.

His Excellency Sun Chengzong was ruthless enough to immediately offer Xue Si a position as a general. You must know that it was unprecedented in the Ming Dynasty for someone like Xue Si to be directly promoted to the position of general. Even Mr. Jinglue Sun's valuing is a great kindness. Is it impossible to promote the general soldier if he makes military exploits in time?

Xue Si stood up and cupped his hands and said to Master Sun Chengzong: "The grass people thank you for your kindness, but the grass people are already disabled, and they dare not insult Daming's official status. Let the grass people freely live with this disability."

Master Sun Chengzong said in surprise: "Xue Yingxiong, participating in the general is the highest condition that this strategy can offer. Even so, this strategy doesn't know how much it will cost you. Are you still not satisfied?"

Xue Si said calmly: "My lord, Caomin died once on the Liaodong battlefield, so the glory and wealth have long been underestimated. It is really the Caomin who have failed your lord's kindness."

Lord Sun Chengzong was a little embarrassed: "This book is not wrong. Xue Yingxiong regards high-ranking officials as generous, and he is really a real hero, but this book is a little abrupt, haha, haha."

Xue Si sat there honestly and answered some questions from Mr. Sun Chengzong. Then several adults of Mr. Sun Chengzong also perfunctory with Xue Si, and sent Xue Si out of Liaodong Jinglue Mansion politely.

Accompanied by a general banner of the Jinglue Mansion, Xue Si returned to his temporary camp in Shanhaiguan with a few of his accompanying Zhuang Ding. Two pigs and a two-chambered sheep, judging by their posture, it's still too early for dinner.

Xue Si met Xue Keji who was waiting there in the camp. With Xue Keji leading the way, Xue Si returned to the barracks he prepared for himself. This is a small northern courtyard house. The accommodation provided by Shanhaiguan is not very big. , There are close to 100 people crowded in this small courtyard.

Xue Si and Xue Keji came to the innermost room and sat down, the impatient Xue Keji asked: "Si Yazi, what is Jinglue Mansion looking for you for?"

Xue Si said: "Uncle, it's not a big deal, it's just that Master Jing Lue Sun wants my nephew to be a general."

Xue Keji anxiously asked: "Si Yazi, have you agreed?"

Xue Si shook his head and replied, "No."

Xue Keji said: "Yes, I can't agree, Mr. Sun is a weasel and has no good intentions to pay a chicken New Year's greeting."

Xue Si said: "Uncle, my nephew knows that even Master Sun would not do it for a nephew of the chief soldier."

Xue Keji said: "Sizi, this is the imperial court using our Xue family as a messenger. After all, the imperial court has taken a fancy to the members of our Xue family. Bad luck."

Xue Si said: "It's the reason that uncle said, so my nephew rejected Master Jinglue's kindness."

Only then Xue Keji nodded in satisfaction, and Xue Si said to Xue Keji: "Uncle, this Shanhaiguan Pass is not a good place to get along with each other. Let's keep a close eye on our subordinates, and don't let them leave the camp and cause any trouble. We'll be there early tomorrow morning." Get out of this place of right and wrong quickly."

In the official hall of the Liaodong Economic Strategy Mansion in Shanhaiguan, there were five people, Sun Chengzong, governor of Shanhaiguan, Yu Anxing, Shanhaiguan commander-in-chief Ma Shilong, confidant Lu Shanji, and Zanhua Mao Yuanyi.

Master Sun Chengzong of Liaodong Economic Strategy said: "I didn't expect that the position of general in this Economic Strategy would not be able to attract this Xue Si to serve the court."

Yu Anxing, governor of Shanhaiguan, replied: "My lord, this Xue Si was seriously injured in the Battle of Saerhu in Wanli 48. Maybe at some point he would have lost his fame and wealth."

Master Sun Chengzong said: "This Xue Si's right eye was actually lost in the battle of Sarhu."

The confidant Lu Shanji said: "Dong Weng, according to the information collected by the Jinglue Mansion, Xue Si's right eye was indeed lost in the Battle of Sarhu. Five of the thirteen Taibao of the Xue family died, and the rest Two of the eight were disabled, Xue Si was one of them, and the other lost both feet."

Shanhaiguan governor Yu Anxing said: "Mr. Lu's homework is quite deep."

Staff Lu Shanji said: "Master Yu, these are not secrets. You only need to know about Xue Jiuqian and Xue Shiqian under General Xue Polu or General Xue Zong's subordinates. Their situation is the same."

Mao Yuanyi praised the painting and said: "Even in this battle, the two sons of the Xue family also died in the battle. The Xue family can be said to be full of loyalty."

Mao Yuanyi, who praised the painting, was grateful for the rescue of Xue Yun Qianli, so he said a good word for the Xue family, and now the staff Lu Shanji quit, so he said to everyone: "It is said that this time the Xue family paid their own pockets and sent the Xue family army The pensions and arrangements for the casualties and soldiers have all been settled, and you know how much money this is."

Yu Anxing, governor of Shanhaiguan, asked, "Isn't it good for the Xue family to advance the money themselves?"

Staff Lu Shanji said: "Of course the Xue family can advance the money by themselves, but the money was snatched by the Xue family and Xue Yun from Jianlu's caravan in western Liaoning. These treasures should belong to the officers and soldiers of the Liaodong army who participated in the Hongluoshan battle." all."

Shanhaiguan governor Yu Anxing said: "Can you be sure how much treasure Datong Xue Yun got, and where did you get the news from?"

Staff Lu Shanji said: "From the news of Jianlu, it can be confirmed that the caravan of Jianlu's son-in-law Gulbush brought millions of gold and silver treasures to trade with Xuanda's merchants, and now Jianlu's son-in-law Gulbush All the belongings of the caravan and Xuanda merchants were lost, and these belongings fell into the hands of Datong Xue Yun."

Yu Anxing, the governor of Shanhaiguan, said: "Jianlu is extremely cunning. The fact that Jianlu's son-in-law Gulbush carried a huge amount of property may not be a trick of Jianlu to sow discord."

Ma Shilong, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, said: "I have heard a lot of rumors like this. I think Xue Yun of Datong has gained a lot in Gulbush, the son-in-law of Jianlu."

Master Sun Chengzong of Liaodong Economic Strategy said: "Everyone, don't mention this matter again. Our Liaodong Army still owes Xue Yun hundreds of thousands of rewards and head money. He Xue Yun also earned it by his ability, no matter how much money is. , everyone don’t mention it anymore.”

Staff member Lu Shanji said: "Dong Weng, the Xue family is rich and powerful now, how can these generals of the Xue family in Liaodong listen to the words of the poor abbot of the imperial court?"

Zan Hua Mao Yuanyi said: "Then what will Mr. Lu plan to do with the generals of the Xue family?"

Staff Lu Shanji said: "Students think that Xue's family is an out-and-out warlord. Let's not talk about Xue Yun's matter. It is this Xue Polu who should not be allowed to continue to lead the army. Generals controlled by Weng, the court and Dong Weng should not tolerate such a cancer in the army."
