Chapter 188: Your Majesty's pockets are not as good as they were back then

After Nurhachi's official rebellion, the first target of the Jin army was the border wall town of Fushun.

As if the heavens also felt Nurhachi's determination to take revenge, when the Jin army was gathering and preparing, Li Yongfang, the defender of Fushun, suddenly decided to open the horse market in Fushun on the 15th.

When the news reached the Jin army, Nurhachi was overjoyed, and the main red banner and the second Bel Daishan suggested that elite soldiers should be sent to pretend to be businessmen to infiltrate Fushun, so that once the war started, they could be attacked inside and outside, so that Fushun would be conquered in one fell swoop.

All the ministers agreed with Dai Shan's opinion, and Nurhachi also thought so, and made some additions to the plan.

Based on past experience, Nurhachi proposed two measures.

First, buy and lure Fushun's soldiers with a lot of money to make them guides;

second, send people to encourage the 24th Mongolian battalions in the west, such as Zaisai and Yuantu, to Fushun to ask for rewards, so as to distract the attention of Li Yongfang and others and the strength of the Ming army;

After the discussion was agreed, Nurhachi ordered everyone to arrange and carry it out separately. Sure enough, Fushun did not suspect that the Jin army came to attack Dakaima City, and as a result, a large number of Jin State Laborers mixed into Fushun City.

A few days later, Nurhachi personally led an army to attack Fushun, and Fushun woke up like a dream, and quickly closed the horse market and closed the city gate.

After the soldiers came to the city, Nurhachi sent a letter to Li Yongfang asking him to surrender, saying that Li Yongfang was just a guerrilla, how could he defeat the lord of Dajin.

He also said that Li Yongfang is extremely intelligent, and since Fushun became an official, his relations with Jianzhou have always been extremely harmonious, and he has a good personal relationship with Nurhachi himself.

On the one hand, he clearly knew that the defenders of Fushun were insufficient and could not cope with the elite soldiers of the Jin State outside the city, and once the Jin soldiers broke through Fushun, he Li Yongfang would definitely die.

But on the other hand, the garrison Wang Mingyin and others fought resolutely to the death, so that he did not dare to open the city and surrender.

So, Li Yongfang made two preparations, one was to climb the south gate to ask the Jin army outside the city to surrender, but on the other hand, he ordered the soldiers in the city to prepare for defense.

The garrison Wang Mingyin and others held on to Fushun and waited for reinforcements, and the battle soon began, and the Jin army attacked the city with cloud ladders. Just as the defenders of the city were fighting bravely with the Jin army, the Jin army in the city suddenly attacked, causing fire everywhere in the city.

Just as Wang Mingyin was about to send someone to suppress it, Li Yongfang suddenly killed him, and then went out of the city to surrender and prostrate to meet Nurhachi.

At this point, Fushun fell into the hands of the Jin army, and Nurhachi ordered the city of Fushun to be completely burned down the next day, and all the Han people in the city were divided into thousands of households, and moved to Heitu Alafa in the Eight Banners to wear armor as slaves.

The officers and soldiers of Fushun who were accompanied by Li Yongfang were resettled, and Li Yongfang was appointed as a third-class deputy general, and married the daughter of Abatai, the seventh son of Nurhachi, and was called Fuxi.

The day after the destruction of Fushun City, Fan Wencheng and his brother Fan Wenyu took the initiative to see Nurhachi, claiming to be after the Northern Song Dynasty Fan Wenzheng was flooded.

What to say since childhood, he has read a lot of books, knows everything about astronomy and geography, knows everything about the three religions and nine streams, and knows everything about military books and strategies.

At the age of eighteen, he was a talent, and then because he repeatedly wrote to the Ming Emperor, the Ming Emperor did not use it, and he fell into a lifetime, without any evidence.

Now that Dajin has risen to establish a state, the Fan brothers have worked tirelessly, not avoiding the axe, and following Mao's self-recommendation. If the lord of Dajin cherishes talents, his two brothers should do their best to assist the lord in their lives.

What the Fan brothers said made Nurha's heart bloom, thinking that there was a lack of advisers around him, so he let the Fan brothers listen to it by his side.

After the news of Fushun's siege reached Shenyang, Li Weihan, the governor of Liaodong, urgently ordered Zhang Chengyin, the general of Guangning, to lead the deputy general of Liaoyang, Po Tingxiang, and the general of Haizhou, Pu Shifang, to lead 10,000 horses to save Fushun, but the Ming army was ambushed by the Jin army, and the general soldier Zhang Chengyin was killed.

After Fushun, Qinghe, another important town, was also captured by the Jin army, and the Jin army, which had successively won military victories, opened to Shenyang with great fanfare.

Eight hundred miles in Liaodong is in an emergency!

"This Liaodong has finally smoked..."

After receiving the post of temporary acting secretary of the military department for 800 miles, Xue Sancai, the former governor of Jiliao, was shocked to enter the palace to meet His Majesty the Emperor.

However, the soldiers were stopped outside the palace by the eunuchs, saying that the emperor was sick and could not see the courtiers.

"This matter is a hundred thousand urgent, I beg Your Majesty to take a look at it!"

Xue Sancai was angry and anxious.

"Is it a border matter?"

Jia Daquan, the eunuch on duty, said with all his heart that the eight-hundred-mile fast transmission is really a big matter, and his own family can't really stop it.

It's just that thinking of the stern instructions of the concubine Niangniang, Gonggong Jia didn't dare to let Xue Shangshu in just like that, so he said to him: "Don't worry about this soldier, our family will go to pass it on, but if the emperor wants to see this soldier, our family can't pack tickets." Moreover, it's not our family's fuss, since a few months ago, the emperor's dragon body is really indebted, and since the beginning of spring this year, there has not been a day when he can get out of bed and walk a few steps. ”

"Your Majesty is so sick?"

Xue Sancai was shocked, "The Jurchen rebellion and taking away my important town is not trivial, and I hope that my father-in-law will bother." ”

Jia Daquan also sighed: "Look at what Ben Bing said, can our family not bother with such a big thing." ”

After that, Jia Daquan hurriedly entered the palace to inform the noble concubine Niangniang about the matter.

"In this way, that kid is like a god, what kind of slave is really the opposite." The concubine Niangniang, who was taking the ninth son of the emperor, asked the palace people to take the ninth son of the emperor down, and thought about it and walked into her husband's bedroom.

It's been half a year, and in the past six months, the concubine Niangniang can be said to have stayed at home, guarding her seriously ill husband every step of the way.

The queen of the middle palace wanted to come over to serve the emperor several times, but the concubine said that the queen was also old and it was inconvenient to shirk from work.

Queen Wang once wondered if Concubine Zheng wanted to isolate China and foreign countries, so she came to see her husband in person, but her husband's words were still indifferent to her, and he said that he was very satisfied with Concubine Zheng's service, which made Queen Wang gloomy.

Wanli on the bed heard the footsteps of the concubine, and he raised his eyes weakly to look at the concubine: "What's the matter?" ”

It was related to the military situation at the border pass, and Concubine Zheng Guifei did not dare to hide it, so she told her husband about the emergency in Liaodong received by the military department.

A few years ago, Li Hualong pointed out that Liaodong is full of crises, and Jianzhou has strong wings, and it will be difficult to protect it forever. Later, Wei Liangchen also repeatedly revealed to me, reminding me of the current frontier, but Jiannu is the most dramatic. It's a pity that I haven't taken Jianzhou seriously, alas. ”

Wanli on the hospital bed let out a sigh of regret.

In fact, in order to eliminate the threat of Jianzhou, Wei Liangchen also privately led troops to Liaodong twice.

At one time, he burned down all the six forts of Kuandian, which had been assigned to Jianju from Li Chengliang, and established the Hyean District in northern Korea in the name of angels, thinking that it would be the base of the war against Jianju in the future.

The second time was to ignore Wanli's strict decree, lead the emperor's army out of Kuandian, attack and sweep the fortress village located on the front line of the old border wall in Jianzhou, and threatened to go straight to Heituala to attract the two white flags of Jianzhou to the east.

Later, the two sides of Ming and Jin fought fiercely on the front line of Dadian and Changdian for more than a month, and the gold inlaid white flag was heavily damaged, and the flag owner Adai died. The white flag lord Zhen Ying led his division to retreat.

These two military operations against Jianzhou naturally did not exist at the official level, and they were not allowed by the imperial court, so the governor of Liaodong and even the governor of Jiliao were worried about Wei Liangchen's more than ten copies, but they were all left in by Wanli.

Wanli Liuzhong's impeachment of Wei Liangchen was for two purposes, one was that the plan to open the sea temporarily needed Wei's presiding, and the other was that the affairs of Liaodong did not actually attract his attention.

In Wanli's opinion, no matter how noisy General Jianzhou Longhu is, he is only the leader of a place after all, how can the Jianzhou Jurchen tribe with a population of hundreds of thousands at most make the Ming Dynasty shake.

Even if that Nurhachi imitated the Han people and established the so-called Jin State regime, in Wanli's opinion, he was a guy who wanted to be a vassal vassal.

Therefore, as long as Nurhachi's Jin State does not rebel against the banner and attack the Ming Dynasty, Wanli really doesn't want to mobilize the crowd against it. The Liaodong side said that it could give the Jin State North Korea treatment, and Wanli could also think about it.

After all, the treasury is very empty at the moment, and if you really want to use troops against Jianzhou, what kind of salary will you get, and what will you use to buy grain and grass.

However, everyone has hit the doorstep, and the fall of important towns such as Fushun and Qinghe has declared Shenyang critical. If Shenyang is lost again, Guangning, which has no danger to defend, will definitely not be guaranteed, and the next thing is Shanhaiguan.

Behind Shanhaiguan is Jingshi!

Wan Liqiang, who knew that the consequences were serious, cheered up and asked Concubine Zheng Guifei to help him up, and then walked to the front hall with difficulty to summon Xue Sancai.

After listening to Xue Sancai's series of reports, Wanli said: "The cunning plan is to trap the border city, and all anti-suppression matters will be handled by the camera in the place, and the military salary will be paid tightly." It dispatched support, and the military department and the household department discussed its performance. ”

After listening to the emperor's instructions, Xue San was a little difficult, what is the camera disposal? Where will the soldiers be transferred to help, and what money will be paid?

It has long been a common thing that the military salaries in the border towns of eastern Liaodong cannot be paid on time and in full, and the household department can't raise money and food, so Xue Sancai and the first assistant of the cabinet Congzhe have the same view on solving this problem, that is, please open the internal money.

In the past few years, the emperor's inner treasury is still very considerable, and the mine supervisors and guards in various places have silver to be delivered to Beijing every year, and the maritime eunuch Wei Mou, who gave the court a headache, also has a huge amount of silver to honor the emperor.

It is said that Wei privately led troops to Japan to carry out the "Japanese Bandits" in the past, and robbed Japan of a fortune.

These things must be disgusted by everyone in the court. The Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, and he is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, where can he do that thing of the Japanese Emperor.

But Wei is a person from the inner court, the emperor's domestic slave, and the soldiers he brought are under the name of the imperial horse supervisor, and he has nothing to do with the outer court.

The salary should not be paid by the military department, the grain should not be paid by the household department, and the promotion of officers and soldiers is not the turn of the imperial court, so what will the imperial court do to govern people.

What's more, Japan's affairs still have the Zhejiang Party and the Zhejiang, Kedaozhen started a lawsuit, and the Zhejiang Party designated to mix the water. And the first auxiliary party from Zheke is the Zhejiang Party.

Therefore, including the first assistant Fang Congzhe, they all pretended to be confused. Regarding Wei's affairs, no one can move unless the emperor has clear instructions.

But fortunately, Wei really contributed a lot of silver to the inner treasury, and if this silver is now used for the war in Liaodong, it can also atone for Wei's sins.

It's just that everyone knows that His Majesty loves money too much, and it is very difficult for him to take out the private money from the inner treasury.
