Blood from Daming

Chapter 486 Brother
The training of the Changtu Island Navy has entered the final stage, and the actual combat capabilities of the five major fleets have been greatly improved, especially the first and second fleets, which have quite good maritime combat capabilities. One of the last joint trainings conducted by Xue Jiajun's marine and land forces.

Now Xue Yun has received the exact news of the death of Jianlu old khan Nurhachi, but there is no clear information about Xue Polu's information on whether Huang Taiji will succeed him. In any case, Nurhachi's death will make Jianlu busy for a while. Daming, There will be subtle changes in the ministries of Jianlu, North Korea and even Mongolia.

Xue Yun really wanted to support the pro-Ming faction within Jianlu. For example, Amin is not the blood of Nurhachi, but she can be considered an object to win over. There are also leaders such as Haixi Jurchen and Savage Jurchen who can be drawn and divided. The split of Hebu is a good example. Unfortunately, because of the imperial court, Xue Yunyuan is now on a small island in Zhejiang Province in the south of the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, he is out of reach for the affairs of Liaodong in the north.

Then there was civil unrest in Shaanxi. In August of the sixth year of Tianqi, the refugees from Shaanxi revolted and entered Sichuan from Baoning. They were active between Guangyuan and Shenxuan, and were controlled by Wu Sangui, the commander of Shenxuan.

Xue Yun felt dizzy when he saw this pond newspaper. Could this Shenxuan commander Wu Sangui be the nephew of Liaodong Zu Dashou, the one who fought with him for the leader of the emperor's army, but later heard Xue Yun Polu reported that during the martial arts competition at Shanhaiguan, Xue Polu had already made Wu Sangui half-disabled. According to Xue Polu, it would be nice for Wu Sangui to be able to live the rest of his life in a peaceful manner, but he could still come out to be an official , and was still a military officer, Xue Yun immediately asked the secret camp to find out whether this Wu Sangui was the Liaodong general or not, and if he was sure, he would closely monitor it.

Also, one of the leaders of the Shaanxi refugee uprising was Ji Shouen. Seeing that his name was only one letter different from his subordinate Ji Tianen, Xue Yun asked Ji Tianen for questioning. Ji Shouen is the same generation as himself, and he is still in the fifth server. It's just that during the holidays, except for adults and elders to greet each other, the two of them rarely move around, so I don't know if it is Ji Shouen.

However, out of concern for the civil unrest in Shaanxi, it was still to win over Ji Tianen. Xue Yun told Ji Tianen that the Datong Mansion would pay close attention to the movements of Ji Shouen's rebel army, and would help Ji Shouen's troops when necessary. Ji Tianen showed great favor to Xue Yun To be moved, Ji Tianen was even more grateful for Xue Yun's kindness.

Today is the day when Xue Yun's god-brother Xu Zhifu arrived at Changtu Island. Xue Yun brought his generals Yu Si, Ji Tianen, and Lian Xiongwei to wait at the pier. It's not easy to meet, but I chose to meet on Changtu Island. What kind of medicine is sold in Brother Xu's gourd.

Xue Yun knew that his battle on Changtu Island was a bit big, and this time he went to North Korea for business, because North Korea refused to accept it, Wang Erwa commanded the Xue family army's naval and land troops to start a war brazenly, and the war against North Korea was won Yes, but the foundation of Xue Jiajun has come out, and ordinary businessmen will not particularly delve into this matter, just make a fortune in silence, but it is another matter if it falls into the eyes and ears of caring people.

Xue Yun has been working hard with a group of warriors, suffering from the fact that he has no one around him to give advice. Now that he wants to take Taiwan Island, he has no talent for governing the country. How can he manage such a large amount of land? Therefore, Xue Yun is very hungry for the officials of Ming Dynasty. At this point, only you are a talent, even if you are greedy for Xue Yun, you won't care too much, but the scholars who have recruited so far, the highest rank is Master Zheng from Yan Sanniang's side, and Chu Yi from Xue Polu's side.

Xue Yun Tianhuang's wealth as a noble emperor is not as good as that of Li Zicheng, the later grass-headed king. At any rate, Li Zicheng also has Li Yan and Niu Jinxing. Speaking carefully, Xue Yun still has two Jinshi, one is the political envoy of Zhejiang Chengxuan Si Zuo participated in politics, Mr. Cao, unfortunately, it is an infernal way to do things under coercion, and the other is Mr. Jiang, the Zhejiang procuratorate and procurator. These are the retainers left by Xue Yunzu, and they are not the smart ones he recruited. Therefore, Xue Yun attaches great importance to the arrival of Xu Zhifu...

Xue Yun waited at the pier for half an hour, and saw a boat in the distance rowing towards Dachangtu Island. After a while, a lookout post at the pier would report. The semaphore showed that the naval ship headed for Jinling City had returned. Xue Yun I know that the boat carrying Xu Zhifu has arrived.

Seeing the boat getting closer, Xue Yun didn't expect Princess Scarlet Blood to rush to the pier, and immediately came to Xue Yun and asked, "Brother Yun, are you picking up that distinguished guest?"

To be honest, this is the first time for Xue Yun to pick up someone at the pier. He wanted to give Xu Zhifu enough face, but he forgot about this scheming Scarlet Blood Princess. She is also very thick-skinned. After living in Changtu Island for more than a month, she even regarded herself as Xue Yun's sister, and began to point fingers at Xue Yun's subordinates, even Rumeng, Ruolian, Xueer, and Yunxi, as if It looks like the head of the family.

Xue Yun really had nothing to do with her, so he had to tell the lieutenants and concubines to treat Princess Scarlet Blood as a lunatic. The princess was very isolated on Changtu Island, so the Scarlet Blood Princess knew about Xue Yun coming to pick up people at the pier, so the Scarlet Blood Princess hurried to the pier to join in the fun.

Xue Yun looked at the Scarlet Blood Princess and said, feeling unhappy: "Your Highness, today's guests are sensitive, so please avoid them for a while."

Princess Scarlet Blood said: "Brother Yun, we are an alliance, why can't my sister see your guests?"

Xue Yun said: "Your Highness, this person is the official of the imperial court, and this general is still in the process of being wooed. Once you reveal the secret of Manstajia, it will increase the pressure on him. Maybe this general's plan will fail. .”

The Scarlet Blood Princess giggled coquettishly: "It turns out that Brother Yun is afraid that my sister will spoil your good deed, so it's okay for my sister to stand aside as your maidservant and not speak."

Xue Yun said: "Your Highness, you wouldn't want to see my Xue family's army delay or fail to recover Taiwan Island because of your willfulness, which would affect your plan to restore the country."

Seeing Xue Yun's serious words, Princess Scarlet Blood's expression changed a little and she quickly said: "Okay, okay, okay, I'll stay far away, lest you find excuses not to help my palace's Manchujia to restore the country."

Xue Yun smiled lightly and said, "Your Highness, is this general such a person?"

The red blood princess said: "Forget it, forget it, I am afraid of you." After the red blood princess finished speaking, she left the pier quickly with her men, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

While Xue Yun was talking to Princess Chixue, Xue's army's sea boat had already docked at the pier. Min Bo, Min Chenglin, and Yan Sanniang's elders were the first to disembark. There were five or six people, one of them was wearing a big cloak and a big felt hat, covering him tightly, Xue Yun knew it was the prefect Xu at a glance.

Xue Yun waited for prefect Xu to set foot on the land of Changtu Island before he went forward to say hello to prefect Xu. After prefect Xu greeted Xue Yun, Xue Yun pulled prefect Xu into the carriage that had been prepared earlier. , after the two sat down in the carriage, the carriage started to run, heading towards the yard next to Yan Sanniang a few miles away.

Xue Yun and Prefect Xu just exchanged a few words in the carriage, then remained silent and did not continue talking. After the carriage entered the yard directly, Xue Yun helped Prefect Xu get off the carriage, and the two went directly to the second gate and walked towards the backyard. .

Xue Yun sat down with Xu Zhifu in the living room of the backyard, and after the servant girl brought tea, he dismissed all the servants and asked them to leave the backyard without summoning anyone to enter the backyard.

When Xu Zhifu saw that there was no one in the living room, he took off the big felt hat and untied the cloak that was draped over his body. Perhaps he was thirsty from boredom. Xu Zhifu picked up the teacup and drank more than half of it. After adding boiling water, the magistrate Xu saw Xue Yun pouring the water himself, so he rushed to grab the water bottle, and the two of them were polite again.

Xue Yun said: "Brother, you should take a good look around when you arrive at Changtu Island. It may be difficult for you to appreciate the beauty and vastness of the sea if you are so mysterious."

Prefect Xu said with some embarrassment: "Brother Xue, I worry too much about my brother, I have to take precautions for the safety of my family."

Xue Yun said: "Brother is indeed necessary to do this, be careful and nothing bad will happen, but I don't know what advice I can give you when I come to Changtu Island to see my younger brother this time."

Xu Zhifu asked: Brother Xue, what is the purpose of you pretending to be sick and lurking in Changtu Island.

Xue Yun said: "To tell you the truth, brother, I am training the navy on Changtu Island, and I am going to send troops to recover Taiwan Island, as the Xue family's retreat."

Prefect Xu was silent for a while and said: "Brother, you really have the idea of ​​going to the country, but brother, after you took Taiwan Island privately, you became Ming's rebel. Have you considered such serious consequences clearly?"

Xue Yun smiled and said: "Brother, most civil servants in the world regard my Xue family as enmity. The Xue family has not tolerated the imperial court for a long time. It is for the family's plan, for the subordinates' plans, to take Taiwan Island as a retreat, and to occupy overseas without losing the prince's will." My lord, the elder brother is willing to help the younger brother, and the younger brother should ask the elder brother to join the cabinet as a prime minister, and the Xuexu and Xu families make an oath to share wealth and honor."
