Blood from Daming

Chapter 443 Guiying
The Ming court started negotiations with the Jin State Mission, and the progress of the negotiations was very fast. The Jianlu Qiuhe Mission first accepted the Ming Dynasty’s request for the return of the land on the Yizhou, Guangning, and Liaohe Xipingbao lines. One thousand pieces of mink fur and one thousand catties of ginseng were paid to the Ming Dynasty every year, and a mutual market between the two countries was opened in Guangning.

However, there were objections to the Ming Dynasty's proposal to return Shenyang, Tieling, Fushun and other cities, Yehe tribe to be protected by the Ming Dynasty, and the Kingdom of Jin to be reduced to a vassal state, etc., but the Jianlu Qiuhe Mission quickly found a solution.

Abai and Li Yangeng proposed that the Kingdom of Jin should imitate the rules of North Korea, and the Yehe tribe should be protected by the Ming Dynasty. Considering the actual situation of the Kingdom of Jin, the Kingdom of Jin should withdraw from Shenyang in five years and withdraw from the lands of the Ming Dynasty in cities such as Tieling and Fushun in ten years. In return, the Ming Dynasty withdrew its troops from North Korea, and Jin Guo signed a peace agreement with North Korea. The Ming Dynasty withdrew its troops from the Yehe tribe, and the Yehe tribe became a military vacuum.

After discussing with the ministers, the emperor of Ming Dynasty agreed to the package peace plan of the Jin Guo Mission. After Abai signed the contract with the Ming Dynasty on behalf of Jin Guo, Abai and Li Yangeng returned to the country with the Jin Guo Mission to announce the good news.

After the Ming Dynasty announced the peace agreement with several people, it came with a decree, that is, it agreed to Xue Yun, the deputy general of Tiao Datong, who was previously discussed by the court, to go to Beijing to serve as the second-rank official of the Governor of the Five Armies, in order to reward Xue Yun for his peaceful settlement of Tuxietu Khan As for the merits of the ministry, the court did not mention a word about Ye He's ministry.

In late September, Liaodong Jinglu Gaodi made a memorial, claiming that Yizhou, Guangning, and Liaohe Xiping Fort had been recovered, but the houses in these cities were empty, and there were no people around the cities. Gaodi hoped that the court would withdraw money, food and materials. Repair the houses in the city, send people in the pass to enrich the population of Yizhou, Guangning, and Liaohe Xipingbao, so that the army and the people can help defend the castles on the front line of Yizhou, Guangning, and Liaohe Xipingbao.

The Ming Dynasty regretted that it did not agree with the Kingdom of Jin not to relocate the population. Now the cost of relocating people from the pass to Liaodong is outrageous, so they had to let the Liaodong Economics organize the Liao people to station in Yizhou, Guangning, and Liaohe Xiping in Liaodong. Forts and other cities, the Liaodong Jinglue Mansion first allocated housing and land, and then distributed some agricultural tools and food.

However, the Ming court was trustworthy. At the beginning of October, taking advantage of the decline of the Yalu River, the Minister of the Ministry of War and the right deputy capital censor commanded the Korean Ming Army Commander-in-Chief Daming Qin ordered the Korean special envoy Yu Anxing to lead more than 4 Liaodong soldiers and civilians across the Yalu River. Advance in the direction of Jinzhou in a mighty way.

The generals who came back this time are mainly Man Gui and Zhao Ledjiao. The former Liaodong Economic Strategy Sun Chengzong praised Mao Yuanyi and served as the deputy general of the Juehua Island Navy in Liaodong. One is that Xue Polu of the Xue family army stayed in North Korea. In addition to all the soldiers of the Xue family army, nearly ten thousand Liao people followed closely.

However, the Datong Xue Family Army of the Yehe tribe did not act under the repeated urging of the court. The Datong Xue Family Army explained that the chief general Xue Yun was poisoned in the grassland, and he is still unconscious. No one in the entire team can mobilize. They are all waiting for the main general Xue Yun to wake up.

However, the entire Ming court, whether it was the emperor or officials, was suspicious of Xue Yun's poisoning. At the beginning of November, the court ordered Gao Di, a prisoner in Liaodong, to urge Xue Yun's tribe to return to Datong first. But the Datong Xue Jiajun of Ye He's tribe has disappeared without a trace.

According to the narration of the new chief of the Yehe tribe, Deleger, in October, a large-scale fire broke out in the Xue family army. No one knows.

Gaodi's envoy, accompanied by Chief Chief Yehebu, inspected the place where the Xue family's army was ambushed. Within a radius of more than ten miles, there were still many mutilated corpses of the Ming army. The traces of the explosion were still clearly visible. Gaodi After the emissary confirmed that a large-scale battle had indeed taken place here, he asked his followers to pick up some physical evidence that could prove the split of the Xue family army, bid farewell to the general manager of the Yehe tribe, and took the gift from the Yehe tribe for himself and Liaodong Jianlu Gaodi. The gift went back to Jinzhou.

It was snowing heavily in Beijing in December, and the imperial court was skeptical about Ye He’s Xue family’s arms annexation. According to secret reports from Jinyiwei and Dongchang Datong Mansion, as of the end of November, only more than 1000 Ming army officers and soldiers had returned to Datong City. , these officers and soldiers all unanimously proved that Ye He's Xue family's arms were merged. It was proved from all aspects that this was a real thing, and the court officials had to relax and prepare for the New Year.

Just before the Chinese New Year, a group of officers and soldiers of the Xue Family Army returned to Datong, and brought back the unconscious Datong lieutenant Xue Yun. Zhang Gonggong, the eunuch of the supervising army, Mr. Zhao, the governor of Shanxi, the commander of Datong Wei Luo, etc., but they didn't say anything.

On the contrary, Yu Dacheng, the deputy commander-in-chief, believed him and wanted to pull his daughter back from the deputy commander-in-chief's mansion to Yu's mansion, but his daughter Yu Wanqin refused desperately. Xue Liu, the backbone of Xue's army in Datong City, was nervous, and the whole Datong city was put on alert. If there is a situation that is unfavorable to Xue Yun or the Xue family army, the battle may be triggered immediately.

However, at the end of the fifth year of Tianqi, there were still many strange things. One of them was that the governor of Shaanxi received a secret report that a large number of refugees fled to the side of the Mongolian side wall. High-level officials have a lot of headaches for the refugees. Based on the principle of not seeing what is seen, they don't care where the refugees die. Everyone came up with a way to cover up this matter.

The second is that some people in Weihui Mansion in Henan Province saw a group of troops crossing the border. These people wore variegated clothes, but they were all sturdy and fast horses. These soldiers and horses traveled at night and stopped during the day. I suspect that these people are just ordinary poles and bandits, and the local officials also have an attitude of having nothing to do with themselves. After beating a few people who have said that they are big soldiers, gradually no one dares to speak nonsense publicly.

Thirdly, officers and soldiers of the Daming Navy in the Liaodong Bay saw a fleet of warships that did not belong to the Ming Dynasty and North Korea on the hazy sea. After a quarter of an hour, the fleet disappeared. Later, they reported it to the Shangguan. They all think that there should not be such a fleet in the Ming Dynasty. If it is not a mirage, it may be a ship of Japanese pirates or Nanyang pirates, which made the navy of Liaodong, Tianjin, and Denglai of the Ming Dynasty nervous for a long time.

Under the persuasion of many friends and court officials, Xue Rui, the old man of the Xue Mansion in the capital, still insisted on not wanting to mourn his grandson Xue Yun. Later, many people persuaded Xue Rui to mourn, so Xue Rui simply closed the door to thank the guests and never saw him again. Those who come with various purposes.

However, when the New Year was approaching, Xue Rui still met a guest. This was Luo Sigong, the former commander of the Jinyi Guards. The reason Luo Sigong met Xue Rui was to thank the Xue family for helping the Luo family take back the property that was robbed by the horse thief Gao Yingxiang. Luo Sigong listened. The son who came back mentioned that Li Xiaoyong, the general of the Xue family, was leading the army.

Luo Yangxing and his party followed the Xue family and took Li Xiaoyong's two thousand soldiers and horses to Shaanxi directly. According to the information Luo Yangxing got from Shaanxi Jinyiwei, Li Xiaoyong directly surrounded Gao Yingxiang and his group in a village on the western border of Suide Mansion. .

Li Xiaoyong directly ordered people to shout out that Gao Yingxiang's group of horse dealers, more than 300 people, confronted Xue Jiajun in Tunkou. When Li Xiaoyong asked Gao Yingxiang to hand over the property he robbed Luo Yangxing, Gao Yingxiang denied it, but Li Xiaoyong did not reason with Gao Yingxiang , but directly ordered a thousand firearms soldiers to prepare for battle.

Gao Yingxiang also called his brothers to prepare for the battle. At this time, a woman dressed as a village girl stood in the middle, and the village girl asked: "This general, you look at your uniform and armor. You must not be soldiers from Shaanxi. May I ask you guys?" Where did the military master come from?"

After Li Xiaoyong revealed to the village girl that it was Xue Jiajun from Datong Prefecture, he asked the village girl, "Miss, is it a woman whose surname is Gao and whose name is Guiying?"

The village girl asked strangely: "This general, how do you know the little girl's name?"

Li Xiaoyong saw that Gao Guiying did have some looks, but it was not a great national beauty. Did the diving guard send the wrong message? What kind of young master is obsessed with Gao Guiying, nonsense, but Li Xiaoyong quickly got off his horse regardless of the danger, and his attitude towards Gao Guiying was extremely extreme kind.

As a widow, Gao Guiying mistakenly thought that Li Xiaoyong's young hero had taken a fancy to her, so she tried her best to mobilize her uncle Gao Yingxiang to agree to hand over the supplies. , took advantage of the situation and lowered the awning, promising to return Luo Yangxing's supplies.

Later, Gao Yingxiang handed back Luo Yangxing's belongings slightly differently, but basically negligible, but Gao Guiying and Li Xiaoyong warmed up, but Luo Yangxing found that Li Xiaoyong was very respectful to Gao Guiying, and before leaving, he presented Gao Guiying with a Dawan famous horse and a set. Silver armor and a hundred-refined silver spear.

But Gao Guiying actually said that Li Xiaoyong's armor was very good, and he wanted to give one set to each of his caravan members. The performance puzzled Luo Yangxing, and Luo Yangxing identified him as a nympho.

Luo Sigong wanted to know what to do with Xue Rui, the faction of the Xue family in Datong, after Xue Yun was gone. After Luo Sigong said a lot of words of thanks, he turned to the main topic, saying that the imperial court officials competed fiercely for the position of Chief Soldier of Datong Mansion. I don't know if the Xue family has any suitable candidates.

When Xue Rui told Xue Yun that he had returned to Datong Mansion, Luo Sigong felt ashamed and said good things to Xue Rui again and again. After Xue Rui and Luo Sigong perfunctory a few words, Luo Sigong found an excuse to leave Xue Mansion quickly when he saw that it was not the way .
