The emperor said that if there is something to be done by the ministers, usually the ministers should not take the initiative to ask, but Gao Pragmatic does not seem to be in the "usual" case, he nodded naturally, and said: "The emperor has something to order, and the ministers should do their best." ”

Zhu Yijun said: "When the first emperor was the emperor, you participated in the whole process of the tribute, you should know the policy of 'West Huaidong System', right?" ”

Gao pragmatically nodded and said, "The minister knows." ”

Zhu Yijun sighed slightly, and said: "Xihuai, as far as the current point of view, it is still very successful, I have settled down over the years, and you asked the imperial court to vigorously support his plan to introduce the Yellow Sect, and now it seems to be quite useful, I heard that in the past two years, I have been nesting in Dazhao Temple without moving the nest, and all the government affairs have been handed over to Zhongjin Hatun, which has made the border market prosperous in recent years, and I have also got a lot of good horses." ”

Not long ago, Gao Shishi was still worried about whether the right-wing Mongolian power would decline too quickly, but now when he saw what Zhu Yijun meant, he was very satisfied with the situation, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he just nodded and didn't say anything.

Zhu Yijun frowned and said, "But the eastern system ...... But it didn't go well. ”

Gao pragmatically said: "Li Chengliang is not bad, right? ”

"It's not bad, it's not good." Zhu Yijun's face was a little cold, and said: "You have been out for a year, some things may not be clear, Li Chengliang's record is there, but ...... There are up to half of the real numbers. ”

This statement made Gao pragmatic a little surprised, and said in surprise: "What do you say? ”

Zhu Yijun looked at him with a smile and asked, "Do you think that Li Chengliang looks invincible in the world, a small victory in three days, and a big victory in five days?" ”

Gao pragmatic smiled: "It's exaggerated, but it should always be more to win and lose less." ”

"That's useless." Zhu Yijun snorted and said, "That's all the court singing with him...... Pragmatic, you are also a person who knows the soldiers, you can talk about it, if you really want to talk about good warfare, can Li Chengliang surpass Qi Jiguang? ”

Gao Pragmatic frowned slightly, shook his head and said: "This is not a good analogy, Li Chengliang is good at cavalry warfare, Qi Jiguang is good at foot combat, their own conditions are different, and the combat objects are also very different, forcing an analogy, I am afraid it is biased." ”

"Hehehehe......" Zhu Yijun let out an inexplicable laugh, and then said: "Okay, after I heard about Ma Fangzhishi, I was invited by you to train a rider, you should know him very well, right?" Then tell me, in terms of leading cavalry, can Li Chengliang beat Ma Fang? ”

This topic is a bit difficult, Gao Pragmatic frowned and thought about it, and then said: "The minister has seen Ma Fang, who is an old and strong general, but the minister has not seen Li Chengliang with his own eyes, and I don't know how he is." ”

"Li Chengliang......" Zhu Yijun recalled: "He is also in his fifties this year, just from his appearance, he can't see how much sharpness he has, and he trembles in front of me, looking like he is afraid of saying the wrong thing." ”

Of course, Zhu Yijun has seen Li Chengliang - Li Chengliang, as the general soldier of Liaodong, is located at a critical point, and of course he wants to go to Beijing to report on his work.

However, Gao Pragmatic smiled when he heard this, and said: "It seems that Li Chengliang's acting skills are good." ”

Who knew that Zhu Yijun also smiled, nodded and said: "Haha, the hero sees the same thing, I also think he is acting, but his willingness to act shows that he is still afraid." ”

He said, waving his hand indifferently: "It doesn't matter if you do a show, how many people can talk to me without acting?" That's it...... You see, I gave you a seat, and you sat down, and I tried to give Li Chengliang a seat, but he was so scared that he couldn't say anything. ”

Gao Shicheng laughed, in fact, he also acted, but he knew better what kind of drama Zhu Yijun wanted to see.

Zhu Yijun waved his hand again, subconsciously thumped his right leg, and said: "Li Chengliang is very honest in front of me, but he may not be honest in Liaodong. If it were all true, I estimated that even if Chahar didn't die, he would be half-dead, but in fact? People are still guilty of two internal crimes in three days, and in April this year, Liaodong even had a big defeat, have you ever read the Di Bao in Guangxi? How so? ”

"The defeat of Liaoyang", Gao Pragmatic has read the Di newspaper.

In April this year, the Black Carboniferous Department invaded Liaoyang, and the deputy general of the Ming army, Cao Yan, led the army to pursue, chased to Chang'an Fort, and encountered an ambush, resulting in 317 people under Chen Peng, the commander of Qian, who were killed in battle, and 460 horses were lost. After hearing the news, the imperial court ordered the arrest of Cao Yan, but did not blame Li Chengliang, the chief officer of Liaodong. This defeat is known in history as the "defeat of Liaoyang".

Gao Pragmatic saw that the Di newspaper was like this, relatively brief.

Zhu Yijun listened, snorted coldly three times, and said: "Cao Yan, the deputy general, was recommended by Li Chengliang, and he was his cronies, and his troops were also acquiesced by Li Chengliang. However, this is not a big problem, the real problem is that the loss of this defeat is not only more than 300 people and 400 horses. ”

Gao Shishi frowned slightly and asked, "So what is the actual loss?" ”

"I don't know." Zhu Yijun's face became even colder, and he snorted again, and said: "How many soldiers there are in Liaodong now, I don't know how many soldiers there are now, I don't know how much the emperor is, if you want to ask, I'm afraid you have to ask Li Chengliang." ”

Gao Pragmatic frowned and was silent, but he was a little strange in his heart: In the original history, Li Chengliang was a general that Zhu Yijun trusted a lot, and it may even affect his later perception of Li Rusong, and he has been letting go and reusing Li Rusong, why does it seem that he seems to be very dissatisfied with Li Chengliang now?

Zhu Yijun saw that Gao Pragmatic didn't speak, and he also deserves Gao Pragmatic to be particularly cautious in some matters, and rarely said to death without clear evidence, so he said: "Someone in Liaodong played a game, saying that the Liaodong soldiers who were killed or captured at that time should have more than 1,500 soldiers, and the loss of war horses was close to 2,000. What's more, some imperial historians impeached Li Chengliang and said that the loss reported by Li Chengliang was probably only one-tenth of the real loss. ”

Gao Pragmatic frowned and asked, "Is there any evidence?" ”

"No...... How could there be? Zhu Yijun snorted and said, "However, the official said that Li Chengliang reported that he would increase his salary by 30% this year, just to make up for this big loss." ”

"So, how does Li Chengliang explain this increase in salary?" Gao asked pragmatically.

How does he explain it? It's about you. Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said: "He said that your Jinghua this year from the Longqing two style to change out of a riding gun, what gun body has become shorter, etc., in short, the officers and soldiers of Liaodong are quite satisfied, to vigorously procure, but this gun is obviously shorter than the previous one, the price is still two or three percent more expensive, plus more muskets need to use more projectiles and gunpowder, and also have to train for a period of time, so the military salary must be increased...... The military department went to Jinghua and asked, that gun is really more expensive than an infantry gun, why is this? ”

Gao pragmatic said: "The minister has just come back, and I don't know about this matter, but generally speaking, it shouldn't be expensive in the cost of iron, and the minister estimates that it ...... Jinghua may need to open a separate production line, but the amount produced is not large enough to share the cost. This problem is not easy to solve, unless this Longqing second-style court with a spear model buys more, more is cheaper, less expensive, and business is generally the same. ”

"Oh...... Then leave this one alone for now. Zhu Yijun turned the topic back, and said: "The imperial court is in the west and the east, in order to concentrate on defeating the Mongolian left-wing Yuan court first, and now Li Chengliang has won more and lost less, but the Yuan court still seems to be alive and well, I am very dissatisfied, I always feel that Li Chengliang may not be unable to fight, but unwilling to fight too hard." ”

Gao Pragmatic frowned and said, "Is the emperor suspecting Li Chengliang of raising his own respect?" ”

Zhu Yijun looked at Gao Pragmatic and said with a smile: "Didn't your Jinghua Trading Company sell soap to Liaodong?" I know that it was handed over to the Xue family of the Yangwu Marquis Mansion as an agent, but do you know that after the Xue family sent the soap to Liaodong, they couldn't sell it on their own, and they had to transfer it to Li Chengliang before they could sell it in Liaodong. ”

Gao was surprised: "Is there anything else?" It's been a long time since I've paid attention to the soap trade...... Don't hide it from the emperor, the minister only supplies to the various agents, and in the end how they sell, the minister doesn't ask. ”

Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "Jinyiwei told me that your soap, as long as you go to Liaodong and pass through Li Chengliang, nothing will change, but the price will increase by three coins of silver per piece." In addition, I also know that the profits of the Yangwu Marquis Mansion are not as high as Li Chengliang. ”

Since the two old men of the Chengguo Mansion passed away one after another, Gao Pragmatic happened to be busy, and now he has no control over Jinyiwei - in fact, he didn't have it before, he was able to indirectly affect Jinyiwei by relying on Zhu Xixiao's cheapness, but now, he has completely lost contact with Jinyiwei.

Zhu Yijun said lightly: "It's not just soap, any business that enters Liaodong, without Li Chengliang's nod, can't be done." Moreover, the policy of the imperial court was to control the western and eastern systems, and the Mongolian right wing was allowed to trade with each other, while the Mongolian left wing was not allowed to trade with each other, but in fact, it was ...... It is indeed difficult for the Mongols to do business in Liaoxi, but they can exchange markets with the Ming through the Jurchens in Liaodong. ”

Gao pragmatic thought for a moment and said, "Through the words of the Jurchens...... It is too far to go to Fushun in the south city, it seems that the Mongolians should go to the north city to open the plain? ”

"Not bad."

Gao pragmatic asked: "Yehe or Hada?" ”

"It's not clear, I think it should be Yehe, but Hada may have been involved." Zhu Yijun frowned and asked, "You say, do you want to teach Ye Hebu a lesson?" ”

Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "Where the benefits are, the trend of the people, if the Yehebu really helps the Mongols smuggle, it must be the Mongols who have given them a lot of benefits, and the imperial court wants to restrict the Yehebu from helping the Mongols smuggle, it is best to think of other ways and rely on lessons...... The minister felt that it might not work, but might push Yehebu to the side of the Mongols. That Ye Hebe is one of the top four in Haixi, and I don't think it's fashionable for me, but if it's my enemy, I'm afraid it's also an annoying trouble. ”

In fact, Gao Pragmatic is not only because of what he said and does not advocate attacking Yehebu, but also for a very key reason, that is, the contradiction between the Yehenara clan and the Aixinjue Luo clan has a long history, and if it is necessary to control the rise of the Jianzhou Jurchen in the future, the Yehenara clan may be of great use.
