Blood from Daming

Chapter 586 "Deliberation"

On the fifth day of the seventh lunar month, the victory-reporting team from Hangzhou, Zhejiang went northward, and Zhejiang Cheng announced that Master Cao, the political secretary, led a thousand officers, soldiers, government officials and civilians to set off. A total of 200 carts accompanied them, pulling more than 200 Tartar heads, and [-] banners. In addition, there are more than [-] pairs of armor, [-] pieces of weapons, bows and crossbows, and [-] boxes of furs, old ginseng, gold and silver wares, etc.

There are really many yamen who shared the credit this time. In addition to Pan Ruzhen and Yan Sanniang, some important officials who benefited from the Third Division of Zhejiang Province and Hangzhou Prefecture, including Nanjing Yingtian Prefecture, also recorded a sum in the credit book. Anyway, Jiangnan officials The gentry is planning to use the more than 200 Tartar heads sent by Yan Sanniang to snatch a lot from the court.

Now Pan Ruzhen, governor of Zhejiang Province, is in a very good mood, but Yan Sanniang's life is not so comfortable. The news of her husband going to Chahar, Mongolia is not smooth, and the news from the capital makes Yan Sanniang very unhappy. The Liaodong Army alone took the lead, but they didn’t mention Xue’s army’s bloody battle behind Jianlu. The only thing that could prove the war on the Yalu River was that the Liaodong side mentioned the feint of the Dongjiang Army in a few pens in the memorial.

Yan Sanniang characterized Zuo Ming's attack on Jianlu as a thankless act of making wedding dresses for Yuan Chonghuan, and according to information from Xue Zhuang, the "Xue Family Army" lost half of its troops in Liaodong, and the chief general, the eldest son Xue Bin The whereabouts are unknown, and the second son Xue Bo also escaped from the control of the eldest son Xue Zong with the wounded soldiers under the pretext of being injured, and returned to Gyeonggi through Shanhaiguan.

Xue Bo's departure was the masterpiece of Xue Zong, Zu Dashou and others. Now Xue Aolao's "Xue Family Army" in Liaodong is supported by only Xue Qingyi. There are more than 500 soldiers under him, and Xue Zong, Xue Jiu, and Xue Shi divide half of them. Xue Qingyi only kept the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, as well as nearly 800 loyalists of Xue Bin and Xue Bin. , Yuan Chonghuan was afraid that his appearance would be too ugly, so he ordered Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang, Xue Zong and others to stop further annexation of Xue Qingyi.

This time, Yan Sanniang's father-in-law, Xue Aolao, was really in a hurry. After three years of hard work, the team lost everything, as if they had returned to the pre-liberation overnight. After being carried to Xue's village, the back village was locked up, Xue Aolao thought that he was also a son, Xue Bin and Xue Bin were far from Xue Yun.

Now Xue Aorao is most concerned not about Xue Bin's life and death, but about those men and horses in Xue Qingyi's hands. Knowing that if there is anyone else who can save Xue Qingyi's subordinates, the only way is to contact Miss Chen to find a way.

So Ms. Chen sent Xue Aolao's request to rescue Xue Qingyi's subordinates to Yan Sanniang. Yan Sanniang was worried about whether to save Xue Qingyi or how to save Xue Qingyi. Entered the backyard of Yan Mansion to discuss matters secretly.

Xu Yuanlang came to Yan Sanniang to learn about Xue's army's actions in Jin and North Korea. Yan Sanniang told Xu Yuanlong the situation frankly. After hearing this, Xu Yuanlang was also very dissatisfied with Zuo Ming's blind actions, but he also had a better understanding of Xue's army's strength. , full of confidence that the Xue family army can seize the Daming country.

Xu Yuanlang said: "Sisters and sisters, in fact, there is General Lu holding Jianlu on the Yalu River. I believe that Jianlu is unable to go back to Nangu Ningjin and Shanhaiguan. North Korea can breathe a sigh of relief, but for our Xue family army, it will be a big trouble. I just don't know what the master thinks."

Yan Sanniang didn't want to say that Xue Yunbei went to Mongolia, but she just said that Xue Yun was running Taiwan, and Xue Yun was also wanting to hear Brother Xu's advice. Dongjiang Town and North Korea are the best strategy, but they are harmful to the Xue family army itself. Taiwan has not yet been completely unified. The Xue family army is surrounded by enemies, and the generals under him will use their own swords. If they do not grasp it well, they will fall into crisis among."

Yan Sanniang nodded and said, "Brother Xu, this time when Zuo Ming comes back, my little sister will definitely discipline him strictly."

Xu Yuanlang said: "This time, Xue's army married someone else. Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong, repaid his merits. In the "Jinzhou Baojie Shu", he said that thousands of Jianlu were killed and thousands of Jianlu were slandered. , Dabeile Daishan's four sons Wakda were seriously injured, Guerrilla Jue Luobaishan, Beiyu Baxi, etc. were shot to death. Mongolian Zhengbai Banner Niulu Ezhenbo Botu and others were also killed in battle, and even Huang Taiji was extremely angry Gongxin can't afford to be sick, this time Yuan Chonghuan's Ningjin battle is really big."

Yan Sanniang said with a cold smile: "Hey, Yuan Chonghuan not only reports false merits, but also takes the merits of heaven for himself. This person is really speechless."

Xu Yuanlang asked: "Brother and sister, do you have evidence to know that Yuan Chonghuan faked military exploits?"

Yan Sanniang smiled slightly and said: "Brother, I don't know about the other girls, but the Xianglan Banner Belle Zierhalang is in good spirits. He ran to the Yalu River to fight with the Xue family army and the Korean army again and again, even if Huang Taiji was furious. Extremely offensive, that's why I, Xue Jiajun, made me feel angry."

Xu Yuanlang said with a smile: "Sister and sister, that's why elder brother said that Xue Jiajun made the wedding dress for Yuan Chonghuan, but I heard that the memorial of Marshal Mao of Dongjiang Town mentioned the deeds of Zuo Ming's troops fighting behind the enemy. I believe Yuan Chonghuan can't cover the sky with one hand."

Yan Sanniang sighed: "Brother, these brothers and sisters understand it. The most annoying thing is that Jianlu is so shameless that he sent people to the capital to negotiate a peace. He actually blamed the battle of Ningjin on my Xue family army who burned, killed and looted in the Jianbu, but They Houjin sent troops south to Ningjin, just to teach the Ming Dynasty a lesson, and one of the main contents of the negotiation is to ask the court to severely punish my Xue family."

Xu Yuanlang said: "This Jianlu is really shameless. He used the same trick again and again. Hey, there are many people in the court who hate the Xue family. This time, the master may really be in trouble."

Yan Sanniang's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she hurriedly asked, "Brother, could something important happen?"

Xu Yuanlang said: "Sisters and sisters, there is news from the Nanjing cabinet in the same year that the capital and Liaodong are recommending the Liaodong guerrilla Cao Wenzhao as the general of Datong. In addition, the deputy general of the Beijing camp Wang Pu is also recommended."

Yan Sanniang's expression changed drastically and she asked, "Brother, where are these two people coming from?"

Xu Yuanlang said: "Cao Wenzhao, a family member of Datong Prefecture, joined the army in Liaodong, and served Xiong Tingbi and Sun Chengzong successively. He accumulated meritorious service and rose to guerrilla warfare. He is brave and wise. He can be regarded as a general. Ma Shilong served under the soldiers. It is estimated that the imperial court and Liaodong most valued his identity of Datong origin; Qu Jiazhen, the unofficial general of Datong, is out of the question, and then there is Wang Pu, the deputy general of the Beijing camp, whose father Wang Wei used to be the governor of the left. , the imperial court probably took a fancy to the identity of the general of the Beijing camp, and the victory is because of his high loyalty."

Yan Sanniang said angrily: "Brother, the court is really a jerk now. My husband's substitute is here. Take a step back and say that Cao Wenzhao is just a guerrilla general, and Datong Yu Dacheng is also a deputy general at any rate. It should also be Yu Dacheng, how can Datong be given to Cao Wenzhao, Wang Pu and others."

Xu Yuanlang smiled wryly and said, "Vice General Yu and the Xue family are related by marriage, so they belong to the Xue family. If the court wants to return to the important town of Datong, they will naturally use someone they think is reliable. Now that the Liaodong Army has won the battle of Ningjin, the Liaodong Army's The status is at the height of the sky, the imperial court has greatly rewarded the Liaodong Army, and Cao Wenzhao's appointment as Datong has killed many birds with one stone. It seems that the imperial court has made up its mind to solve Datong, and the brothers and sisters need to remind the master to pay attention."

Yan Sanniang nodded and said, "Brother, tell me how you should deal with the court."

Xu Yuanlang thought for a while and said: "Sisters and sisters, it is inevitable for the court to weaken the Xue family. Now that Jianlu has stepped in, it has already had a catalytic effect, but the current strength of the Xue family army is no longer an ordinary separatist town. The master is in Taiwan. There are more than a thousand warships on the island, and the strength of the partial division can regret the Korean war. Once they turn their backs, Xue's army should respond from the north and the south, and if they win, they can go directly to Yanjing, and if they lose, they can retreat to Taiwan without losing their princely position."

Yan Sanniang nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and Xu Yuanlang continued: "Sisters and sisters, the Xue family should be shrunk from the capital, and then the control of the Hangzhou government should be strengthened, but the most important thing is that the master's troops in Datong are facing a lonely battle."

Yan Sanniang thought about it for a while and decided to get to the bottom of it, so that Xu Yuanlang could follow the Xue family more steadfastly. , As for Datong, you can go north to the Mongolian Chahar tribe to meet Harizhula sister, go west to Shaanxi to have an ambush to respond, and the Xue family army of the Tuxietu Khan tribe in the northwest has a castle base."

After hearing Yan Sanniang's words, Xu Yuanlang was deeply shocked. Xue Yun only debuted for three years, and he has already deployed in Daming, Mongolia, North Korea, and Taiwan. It seems that he has had different ambitions for a long time. Well, this master of mine is really a great talent.

Yan Sanniang continued to say shocking words: "Brother, according to the secret report of the Xue family army, there will be a large-scale civil unrest in Shaanxi, and there will be rumors in the palace that the current emperor is dying of illness, and the court will definitely undergo major changes in the near future."

After hearing Yan Sanniang's words, Xu Yuanlang was stunned and at a loss. It took him a while to recover and speak: "There have been signs of civil unrest in Shaanxi. If the master had not done a lot of work in Shaanxi, Gansu, and resolved it through recruiting and emigrating. Crisis, civil unrest should have erupted on a large scale long ago, but the fact that the current emperor is critically ill is a serious matter, and there are no rumors inside and outside the court. If Emperor Tianqi dies and Emperor Tianqi has no children, the heir of Emperor Ming will be enough to cause chaos For a while, it seems that the matter of Datong is turning around, maybe the master can use drag words to deal with the imperial court to see the effect."
