There are outsiders here, and it is inconvenient to ask.

After there were no outsiders in the back hall, Zu Dashou hadn't asked yet, Fang Yizao had already hurriedly asked, "What military order did the governor send from?" ”

"Let the last general and Jin Guofeng exchange stations for half a year!" Zu Dashou hurriedly replied, and then wondered a little, "But in the military order, there is no mention of Tuntian!" ”

Fang Yizao listened and was a little surprised. He didn't know that Jianyu had already sent troops, so he didn't care, after all, this change of guard was not a big deal.

What he cared about at this time was something else, so he heard him say to Zu Dashou seriously: "The matter of Tuntian, he asked the official to pass it on directly. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and said with a somewhat ugly face: "He wants you to personally sort out the account books of Tuntian and hand them over, otherwise when he does it, he will have to recover the grain that has been greedy for ink over the years." ”

Upon hearing this, Zu Dacheng couldn't help but be furious: "Doesn't he really take us seriously? ”

Fang Yizao listened, turned his head and glanced at him, understanding what he was relying on in his heart!

In addition to Zu Dashou himself as the general soldier of Jinzhou, Zu Dashou's second brother Dabi and his younger brother Dale are also among the general soldiers. In addition, his third brother Dacheng and his cousin Daming officials worship guerrilla generals, and his cousins are guarded;

In addition, the heirs of the sons and nephews, Ze Run, the eldest son Ze Pu, the second son Ze Chun, the third son Zeqing, the righteous son Kefa, the cousin's son Ze Hong, the cousin's son Ze Pei, the cousin's son Ze Yuan, Congzi Zeyuan, Congzi Zesheng, etc., have served as many deputy generals and generals;

Among the sons and nephews, those who are younger or side branches, such as Congzi Shixiang, Bangwu, Yunlong, Keyong, Bangjie, etc., are guerrilla or other low-level military attachés. With three generations of grandfathers, nephews, and descendants of other branches, a total of 407 backbone officers from the general army to the adjutant generals, and guerrillas, the Guanning Army can actually be called the ancestral army.

Of course, many of them are now on the Jianyu side, and they surrendered during the Battle of Dalinghe. But even so, the power of the ancestral army is very huge.

However, Fang Yizao didn't have much confidence, and didn't answer Zu Dacheng's words, just pointed to the packages on the ground and said: "These are the family letters from the nephew of Wu Sangui, the commander of the reinforcement army, and they were brought by the emperor triumphantly." Let's take a look! ”

On the way here, he had actually opened some of them and seen them, so he was even more shocked and had no confidence.

Zu Dashou was happy to hear it first, because he heard that Wu Sangui was promoted to the chief officer of the reinforcement army as he wished, which means that there is another general soldier in the ancestral army.

But soon, he heard that something was wrong, so he asked, "The emperor is triumphant?" Then why didn't he return to Guanning? ”

In order to let Wu Sangui make no unexpected contributions, he actually gave Wu Sangui's elite family as the capital. Of the 1,500 cavalry troops, Zu Dashou didn't have much in his hands, so he cared about this army very much.

Fang Yizao still didn't answer, just pointed to the ground with his hand and said, "You can see for yourself first!" He also had letters, just at the very top of the first package. ”

After finishing speaking, he took the tea and drank it himself.

Hurry up and rush over, it's kind of tired of him.

Zu Dashou knew that something was wrong, so he stopped talking, and hurriedly stepped over to take the first package, untied it, and found that it was full of letters. Obviously, almost 1,500 soldiers have written or asked someone to write letters on their behalf, all in these packages.

He didn't care about anything else, and saw Wu Sangui's letter at a glance.

Zu Dashou naturally recognized Wu Sangui's notes, and also knew that Wu Sangui wrote them himself, so he immediately unfolded them and read them.

The others present went to read the letters of other people's families, and opened them one by one.

As Fang Yizao expected, Zu Dashou and the others looked at these family letters, and their faces became very ugly.

Seeing this, he sighed in his heart, and it was not surprising about this!

Including Wu Sangui, those Guanning soldiers described their experiences in their letters, and their words revealed their admiration for the emperor's wisdom and martial arts!

The letters written by the ghostwriter may have less content, and more about their safety and soundness, and what merits they have made, what rewards they have received, and so on.

And those who can write themselves, including Wu Sangui, have said a lot of things in the letter.

Especially Wu Sangui's affairs on Guan Ning's side, although he doesn't know how the development will be in the future, he can somewhat predict it. Therefore, he took the trouble to tell everything the emperor did along the way, including talking and doing things, etc.

At the end of the letter, Wu Sangui concluded: "The emperor is wise and martial, and loves the people like a son, and is extremely loved by the soldiers and the people. With such an emperor here, the rebellion everywhere in the Ming Dynasty will be quelled by the emperor sooner or later. The nephew is now ordered to arrest the rebel general Chai Shihua, and has assured the emperor that those who rebel against the Ming Dynasty will ......be punished even if they are far away."

When Zu Dashou saw this, his face was already very ugly.

Unexpectedly, Wu Sangui even faintly reminded him at the end that it was best for his cousins who were on Jianyu's side to escape back as soon as possible, or Zu Dashou's side, to explain to the emperor that they were forced to be on Jianyu's side.

After reading it, Zu Dashou slapped the letter on the table and looked at the other letters in the package. As a result, Wu Sangui's letter was taken by others to read it.

Anyway, these few of them, looking at it, were impatient in the end, and when they didn't look at it, their faces were very ugly, like their dead parents.

"Big brother, these letters must not be sent!" Zu Dacheng suddenly opened his mouth and suggested to Zu Dashou, "Otherwise, it will shake the hearts of the army!" ”

The so-called shaking the morale of the army is actually shaking the military spirit of the ancestral army.

Zu Dashou naturally understood this, and when he was about to nod, he saw Fang Yizao put the teacup down, and made a "snap" sound, obviously a little anxious, so he immediately said: "No, these letters are all handed over to the official in front of the angel and sent to the official, and they are going to be sent." If they don't send it, or if they send it, they will change it, and they will know when they come back in the future. There are so many people, it's hard to guarantee that no one will talk about it. In this way, it becomes the official with ill intentions, making it difficult for the official to do it! ”

When Zu Dashou heard this, he couldn't help but think, he couldn't say in front of Fang Yizao, don't care if you die!

Fang Yizao is the governor of Liaodong, and he can be regarded as a feudal official among civil officials, and he is a civil official with the highest official position that he has tried his best to woo. Either way, he can't be offended.

However, if these letters were put down, he could imagine what kind of impact the emperor's prestige would have in the ancestral army!

This emperor is really, was it bad like that before? What kind of royal driving expedition is you, and you have done so well!

The emperor is a deep-rooted supremacy in the minds of the people of this era. If the emperor is hated, it will reduce the influence of the emperor on the people of this era. But the question is, what if the emperor is a good emperor? Then there will naturally be a huge advantage, which can affect all the soldiers and people!

He was thinking about it, when Zu Dale suddenly said, "Lord Zhongcheng, if it's not a place where there are many people outside, you can hand over these packages to us again." Then these packages accidentally caught fire and disappeared, so there should be nothing wrong with Lord Zhongcheng! Isn't that good? ”

When Zu Dashou heard this, he immediately felt that this was a good idea. Even if someone asks, it's not difficult to push someone to take the blame. After all, it's just a family letter, and how many people care?

However, when Fang Yizao heard this, he sighed and said, "It's not a question of whether to burn this package or not!" But the emperor is wise and martial, so many people say that there can be no fake. In this way, according to this official's opinion, it is better not to have any other thoughts! ”

"Lord Zhongcheng, the last general is just protecting himself!" When Zu Dashou heard this, he hurriedly explained, "It's Sun Chuanting who is arrogant and wants to oppress us and others." If...... If someone in the court can talk about it, transfer Sun Chuanting back, or ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Fang Yizao, who saw him shake his head and said categorically: "Impossible! Along the way, the official has figured it out, Sun Chuanting has been favored by the Holy Grace, and it is impossible to move him. In this regard, it is best to receive. Otherwise, once the factory guard Shunteng touches the melon, knowing that you are trying to do ghosts behind your back, maybe the emperor will be furious, is that good? ”

Hearing this question, Zu Dashou was silent, and his brothers were also silent.

The back hall became very quiet, and the silence made the Zu brothers panic. In fact, Fang Yizao was also panicked.

After a while, Fang Yizao suddenly sighed and said, "This Liaodong, if you want to learn from Li Chengliang again, I'm afraid it's impossible." The current emperor, far more than the Wanli Emperor Shengming, is categorically impossible to be fooled again......"

What he said was that Li Chengliang was the dominant family in Liaodong, holding the military power of Liaodong, raising his own respect, and almost being the king of Liaodong.

As he spoke, he saw Zu Dashou looking up at him, as if he wanted to say yes, so he stretched out his hand and shook it: "Let's listen to what the official says." If it is said that most of the previous defeat of Jianyu was due to the contribution of the three governors, then this time, the emperor drove the expedition in person, so easily pacified the Hetao Tartars, the thieves in the Guannei, let me ask, if you send your ancestral family to it, can it be pacified so easily? The first emperors of the Ming Dynasty, which emperor can have this ability? Do you think that if Taizu Chengzu is in power, he can tolerate Li Chengliang, or your ancestral family? ”

What he means by saying this is that the emperor's ability today can be compared to that of Taizu Chengzu. Zu Dashou heard this. In fact, he triumphed with the emperor so easily, and even let the Guan Ning army sent out, including his own nephews, admire the emperor very much, and he knew that he was actually no longer qualified to fight against the imperial court.

The rise of Zu Dashou and the "ancestral general" can actually be traced back to the era of Zu Dashou's father, Zu Chengxun. Zu Chengxun participated in Li Chengliang's "Liao Army", experienced the promotion from a small flag to the military attache of the guard under the command of Tongzhi, and was later promoted to deputy commander-in-chief, which also opened the future of the Zu family.

Zu Dashou inherited his father's military status and appointed Ningyuan as the commander of the affairs. After the rebellion of the wild boar Pinurhachi, Zu Dashou was reused because of the identity of the "Liao people", under the policy of "guarding the Liao land with the Liao people", the role of the ancestral family and its generals who have lived in Ningyuan for generations has been highly anticipated by the previous governors or supervisors of Liaodong, and is known as the "ancestral general" of "his clan party is very strong".

And this ancestral general is the commander of the senior military attache under the Daming Guard, Zu Dashou, as the supreme commander; A kinship network was formed among the generals of western Liaoning, and a military interest group was formed within the ancestral surname by pseudo-blood relations such as "Yizi" and "Jiading".

For example, Zu Dashou married his sister to Wu Xiang of Zhonghou Institute; The sons and nephews of Zu Dashou, Pei Guozhen, Hu Hongxian, and Xia Guoxiang, married with the Wu Sangui family. It must be emphasized that Pei Guozhen and Hu Hongxian are both high-ranking hereditary military attachés from Ning Yuanwei.

It is through various relationships that the ancestral army and the Guan Ning army are actually another name.

Although Zu Dashou can recognize the reality, but after years of hard work, if he wants to give up once and become a well-behaved Ming general, how can he let go of his heart at once?

Seeing that Zu Dashou was entangled, Fang Yizao suddenly raised his voice a little, and his tone became firm: "If you insist on going your own way, this official would rather surrender to the emperor, even if there is no hope of further progress on the official road in the future, I will not accompany you all the way to the dark!" ”

The reason why he said this was because he was dragged into the water by Zu Dashou. Not only did he receive a lot of benefits from Zu Dashou, but his son and Wu Sangui also formed brothers with different surnames, and they were tied to his ancestral army by Zu Dashou.

However, the first is that Wu Sangui is obviously on the emperor's side, and more importantly, since the emperor allowed the officials and eunuchs to surrender themselves, the things that can be exempted from their crimes are in the past, such as Gao Qiqian; If he turns himself in as a last resort, it should be the same!

The combination of these two reasons makes him feel that this road may still be a living road. Of course, if Zu Dashou can listen to persuasion, it will be the best.

As soon as he said this, he immediately shocked these ancestral brothers present. Some people were surprised, some people were angry, and they all stared at him anyway.

Zu Dashou was no exception, he didn't expect Fang Yizao to be afraid of this, it was really a bit unexpected for him.

Before he could speak, Fang Yizao said bitterly: "Actually, for the imperial court, the worst step is that you defect to Jianyu. However, the question is, can you take Shanhaiguan? If you can't take the Shanhaiguan, the three battalions under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Supervisor will definitely come to crusade against you, can you stop it? ”

"Even if you take a step back, even if you take Shanhaiguan, there are three battalions of strong troops, and there will only be more Hongyi cannons in the pass than here, and when the time comes, the imperial court will attack Shanhaiguan, do you think you can hold it?"

"Besides, if you surrender to Jianyu, then you will still be controlled by the slave chief, do you think that the slave chief really allows your ancestral family to be controlled by him? In that case, why should you go to the barbarians and bring shame on your ancestors? ”

Fang Yizao said so much in one breath, he had already finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave: "These packages, take them away, you think about it, this next step, how to go, I believe it is very important to you!" The official only waits for three days, and if he doesn't get your answer after three days, or if you still want to go his own way, then the official will go back to Shanhaiguan. ”

The meaning is very clear, he wants to go back and turn himself in, and no longer be in the same boat with Zu Dashou and them.

After saying that, he did not hesitate, and strode to the door, ready to call out his personal guard.

In the lobby, some of these ancestors had a decadent look on their faces, and some of them stared at Fang Yizao's back with fierce eyes, it was obvious that they had different thoughts, and in the end, they turned their eyes to Zu Dashou and asked him to hurry up and get an idea.
