Chapter 42: Exile from Haixi
Chapter 42: Exile from Haixi
Shi Heng rode on a horse, turned over and shot an arrow, the arrow was not missing, and even Zhu Qizhen looked at Shi Heng, he didn't look behind him at all, it was all a blind shot, even so, this angle was so tricky that he couldn't dodge it at all.
And Shi Heng's arrows are extremely powerful, even if there are no arrows, they are like being hit on the head by a wooden stick. There were even two guards who were hit by Shi Heng's arrow and fell off their horses immediately.
It only took a while before and after, and Shi Heng had already won. It's not even as long as Shi Heng has been gnawing on raw elbows there.
Zhu Qizhen suddenly had a heart of love in his heart.
Although Zhu Qizhen really plays, he may not be able to, but after all, he has practiced archery since he was a child, and he still has the eyesight he should have.
Not to mention anything else, when they were chasing Shi Heng, when they were releasing arrows in the back, the horse's speed did not decrease at all, and the accuracy was very accurate.
Ordinary people can't hide from it at all.
This is also the reason why Shi Heng had to break through first as soon as he saw this formation.
In general, it is not that the guards of the Qianqing Palace are too weak, but that Shi Heng is too strong.
Sometimes, not believing is not good. It's just not the same between people. With Shi Heng's ability to rush into battle alone, no matter what other problems he had, Zhu Qizhen didn't care.
Zhu Qizhen said: "Okay. ”
Shi Heng hurriedly dismounted and said, "Some little tricks of the guilty minister made His Majesty laugh. ”
Zhu Qizhen said: "Come and take 10,000 silver dollars." ”
Perhaps among the people, it is still mixed with silver dollars, and it is not easy for silver dollars to replace silver dollars as a common currency, and it takes time.
But here in Zhu Qizhen, all of them have been exchanged for silver dollars.
10,000 silver dollars, enough to open a large box below, which was wrapped in red paper, and was carried by four people. Otherwise, you won't be able to lift it at all.
Zhu Qizhen said: "This 10,000 yuan is a reward for you, since ancient times, you have been famous but you take it right away, with Qing's skills, how can you not be rich?" Hugh will be confused by some small profits, and if you do something wrong, I will not be able to save you. ”
Shi Heng He has seen so much money, to be honest, Shi Heng's family property is about one or two thousand taels, but most of them are real estate, and they are farm houses.
This is also why Shi Biao went to Beijing and only took 1,000 taels of silver.
This is all the cash of the Shi family.
Shi Heng immediately said, "Your Majesty Longen, the guilty minister. ”
Zhu Qizhen said: "Just money, but it's just a talent who loves you, but the law of the country is still the law of the country, I allow you to make meritorious contributions before the battle, but you have to work for yourself in vain." You get the idea. ”
Shi Heng said: "The sinner understands. ”
Zhu Qizhen said: "In the future, you have to behave yourself, don't live up to your nephew's filial piety, I hope that one day, you can stand in front of me again." ”
Shi Heng said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. The minister will definitely come. ”
Not any general can stand in front of Zhu Qizhen, at least at the level of commander. Zhu Qizhen's implication is to let Shi Heng become a national general again by virtue of his military exploits, so that he can stand in front of Zhu Qizhen one day.
Zhu Qizhen already had the place where Shi Heng was exiled in his heart, and that was the Haixi Dusi.
Because in Zhu Qizhen's judgment, the most likely place where the war will occur is the Haixi Dusi.
Zhu Qizhen went back to deal with affairs and didn't mention it.
After Shi Heng went out, although he was still in the prison of the Criminal Department, he had already changed his treatment, put on a clean prison uniform, and could take a hot bath and eat some hot meals.
However, two days later, the Ministry of War got the order and sent Shi Heng to Haixi.
Shi Heng is not worried, he is originally from Liaodong, and this time he is familiar with returning to Liaodong.
There were two officials escorting Shi Heng, but everyone knew that this Uncle Shi was a powerful person, and the lord who was given gold by His Majesty did not dare to offend at all, but served carefully.
Shi Heng traveled to Hercynian by land.
All the way from Beijing to Shenyang, there is no problem, but from Shenyang to the northeast, it is dangerous.
From here to Haixi, although there are post stations along the way, but among the mountains, it is already a place outside the law, not to mention jackals, tigers and leopards, just to say that the Jurchens living here are not easy to get along.
When you meet a lone pedestrian, you will disappear without a trace.
Shi Heng also followed the brigade escorting grain and grass.
This team of men and horses, only 500 people, did not carry much grain and grass, but up and down a thousand stones, most of them were wheelbarrows, walking on the mountain road. It was sent to Hercy.
When Shi Heng arrived here, he was already free.
He rode a white horse, bought a suit of armor, bows, arrows, spears, and swords. Although he is still a white body, even a prisoner, this grain transportation team up and down does not dare to treat him as a prisoner.
It was as if Shi Heng was their chief officer.
Shi Heng opened the way along the way, and also killed a lot of beasts, and the biggest gain was that Shi Heng shot a big worm. Shi Heng only left the tiger skin, and the rest invited everyone to eat a meal of tiger meat.
Suddenly, the locals knew that Shi Heng was not easy to mess with, and the road was much smoother.
When Shi Heng arrived in Haixi, he was taken aback.
He already knew that the imperial court had built a city in Haixi, but he never expected that the city in Haixi would be built so quickly.
With plenty of food, tens of thousands of people worked together. This Haixi city has been built in the outline, looking at the moat, the city, the urn city from a distance, and the inland prefecture and county, not much different.
Only after entering the city did I know that Haixi City was actually far from completion.
Hercy Castle was the first western city wall to be built
, then the northern wall, and finally the south wall. As for the eastern wall, it has not yet begun.
It was also not started, but it was a building in the city, and there was only a lonely yamen with a sign of the Haixi Dusi. Shi Heng went to the door.
Immediately, one summoned him, and this person saw Shi Heng and said: "You are Shi Heng, the old brothers of the Qianqing Palace said that you are the best in the world to ride a bow and horse, but I don't know if it's true or not." ”
Shi Heng said: "The general can give it a try." ”
The young general smiled, "No need. However, you are really capable, I have an errand assigned to you, and I will directly ask you to hang a hundred household titles. ”
Shi Heng said: "But you don't know who the general is? ”
Left and right immediately said: "This is a stone horse." ”
This young general is Shi Jing.
Shi Heng immediately saluted and said, "What can the colt tell me?" ”
Shi Jing said: "It's not something else, but the disputes between the Jurchen tribes below, the struggle for land, water, women, everything, the imperial court didn't care much before, but now the imperial court has established the Haixi Division, and the things here have to be managed, and I sent them to inspect the various ministries to mediate the disputes." ”
When Shi Heng heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "Don Ma, it's not that the subordinates are disobedient, but this kind of thing, the subordinates are not good at it." ”
Shi Jing said, "No, you're very good at it. ”
Shi Heng understands why he is so good at it.
Because the Jurchen tribe seems to obey the imperial court, in fact, it is just the money and food that obeys the imperial court, and the best attitude towards the imperial court is Mao Lianwei, Mao Lianwei commanded Li Zhong, he was originally a Jurchen, his name is very long, when he was a tribute, Zhu Qizhen gave his name, and what is Li Zhong's greatest wish?
It is to move to the city of Beijing.
That's what he thinks, and that's what he does.
He sold almost the entire Mao Lianwei's hukou to the Haixi Dusi, and wanted to work in Beijing, and from then on the family had a Beijing hukou.
But he was so fist-loving to Daming, and the court didn't let him go.
He is now the secretary of the Haixi Prefecture, helping Yishaha to take charge of the civil affairs of Haixi.
Of course, there are fanatical fans like Mao Lianwei who commanded Li Zhong, and there are also some people who have ghosts in their hearts and hook up with Wa Thorn and Wu Liangha. But these people are hiding and don't dare to show their faces. It's just a hidden danger.
But that's more than that. Neither the tile spies nor the die-hard Jurchens of the Ming Dynasty, they live according to their own habits, and they don't care what the Ming and the tile thorns are.
And the management of these people is very problematic.
In the past, the imperial court was governed by customs, basically nothing happened, they fought with their own vendetta and weapons, and the court did not take a second look, but now it is also lost to understand Zhu Qizhen's ambitions, and the opening of Haixi is actually to open another channel for the imperial court to operate the Northeast, which is very important, and many things have to be managed. The management of the Jurchen can't be so coarse.
