Chapter 171: Are You Also Worthy of Being Called a State Envoy? (The second update, ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass!) )
"Shhh
The officials present all gasped.
According to the convention, the army of the Ming Dynasty is a drill every ten days, and at most one drill every five days. It's surprising that the governor is asking for a three-day drill now.
However, even if everyone thought that the governor's order was somewhat difficult to fulfill, no one would openly point it out at the banquet. After all, it's a matter of face. No matter how eloquent the governor is, he will not tolerate such a blatant challenge to authority.
If they are hated by the governor, will they be better off in the future in this Denglai realm?
At this time, you must not be the first bird to be hot in the head.
As for Yuan Weitai, although he felt that it was necessary to strengthen the practice of sailors, he also thought that the three-day exercise was too much.
It wasn't that he was afraid of anything else, but that he was afraid that such frequent drills would cause resentment and even mutiny among the soldiers.
What the civil officials are most afraid of is the trouble of their subordinates. Xiucai can't explain why he meets Bing!
Yuan Weitai decided to wait for the banquet to end and talk to the governor in private to see if he could make some adjustments in the training time.
Overall, the reception banquet was very successful, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Yuan Weitai clapped his hands, and the courtesans who had already prepared came in one after another to dance to cheer up, pushing the atmosphere to the climax.

"Dashuai, there is a person who claims to be the envoy of the Qing army who asks to see Dashuai!"
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Chengdong clasped his fists with both hands and shouted at Gao Jie.
"Oh? Where are the others now? ”
"Hello Dashuai, this person is just outside the gate. The last general was worried that he would disturb the morale of the army, so he did not dare to let him in. ”
"Bring him to me."
Gao Jie said almost without thinking.
"The last general obeys!"
For Gao Jie, Li Chengdong is unconditional obedience. Whatever order Gao Jie gives, he will follow it.
Soon after, Li Chengdong took the man who claimed to be the envoy of the Qing army into the big tent of the Chinese army.
Almost everyone's attention in the tent was drawn to his bare head and the tiny money rat tail on his head.
Sure enough, it's a tartar!
No, looking at the contours of the facial features, it shouldn't look like a Jurchen, it should be a second tartar!
The generals stared at this man viciously, eager to eat him alive. They hate these Han people who act for the tiger and are willing to be lowly, and they have simply lost all the face of the Han people.
They were all waiting for Gao Jie's order. As long as Gao Jie said to take it down, they would rush up and tear the person to pieces.
After a while, Gao Jie asked lightly, "You are the envoy sent by Zukefa?" ”
"Exactly, my ancestor sent a certain general to see General Gao, and wanted to warn General Gao, the cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey cooks, and the birds are good and the bow is hidden."
The man was also direct, and poured out the words without hesitation.
"That's all?"
Gao Jie didn't seem to have any emotional fluctuations because of these words, and sneered: "You're done? Come on, push this who beheads the people out of the gate and beheads the public! ”
A group of generals were about to rush forward to get people, but the messenger hurriedly said, "General Gao is confused. It is not a pity to die a certain cheap life, but General Gao will make a big mistake. Don't talk about it far away, why doesn't General Gao learn from Li Chengliang in Liaodong? ”
Li Chengliang is a famous general of the Ming Dynasty, but there is no shortage of black spots. His biggest black spot is that he raised his own dignity when presiding over the affairs of Liaodong, which made the Jianzhou Jurchen bigger.
However, from Li Chengliang's point of view, it is not difficult to understand.
During the time of Li Chengliang, Liaodong already had a trend of feudal townization. Of course, Li Chengliang has the strength to take the prisoner in one fell swoop, but if he does this, there is no need to continue to stay in Liaodong.
The imperial court would definitely transfer him elsewhere for the sake of balance.
Then the foundation he has painstakingly managed for many years is equivalent to giving it to his successor.
This is absolutely unacceptable to him.
Therefore, Li Chengliang must not "finish his work in one battle", but must portray the enemy as a ferocious beast, and Li Chengliang cannot surrender unless he is him.
In order to achieve this effect, he had to make the Dongyu constantly carry out small-scale raids, giving the imperial court a sense of restlessness.
In this case, the imperial court will naturally not transfer Li Chengliang away.
Li Chengliang thought that everything was under control, and Dongyu was just a chess piece he used. But who knew that he underestimated the ambitions of the Jurchens, which caused the Dongyu to become bigger, and Liaozhen was in war for many years, and the situation was out of control.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a sinner through the ages.
This guy dared to let Gao Jie learn from Li Chengliang.
Gao Jie sneered: "Li Chengliang? He also deserves to be compared with General Ben? Drag it down and decapitate! ”
"General Gao, the two countries will not fight each other!"
In desperation, the messenger made a killer move.
In his opinion, these words were enough to stop Gao Jie's mouth.
Who knew that Gao Jie didn't care at all, and smiled contemptuously: "Dongyu is also worthy of being called a country?" Are you also worthy of the title of envoy? At the beginning, the Jurchen tribes requested that the Liaodong Metropolitan Division be attached, and I made a pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven to have mercy on all sentient beings, so I was allowed to play. Who knew that not only did they not want to be grateful, but they also wanted to take revenge. What are the seven hatreds, but they are made up by Nurhachi to deceive people's hearts. From the moment he rebelled, he was a rebel and a thief. The Jianzhou Jurchens are just a tribe, not even a vassal state like Korea, what are you talking about here to General Ben, the two countries are not at war, isn't it stupid and ridiculous? ”
As soon as Gao Jie said that, with a wave of his hand, he wanted to pull the messenger down and behead him.
But the messenger was poor in words, and his legs were weak and his face was pale.
Seeing this, Li Chengdong hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Dashuai, this person can't be killed!" ”
Gao Jie frowned when he heard this: "You want to intercede for him?" ”
Li Chengdong explained: "Dashuai, the last general is not trying to intercede for this guy. is worried that the marshal will cause suspicion in the court if he beheads this guy. ”
Gao Jie laughed and said, "How can this be. If you behead this court, you will only see the loyalty of the general, so how can you be jealous of the general? ”
Li Chengdong lowered his voice and said: "After all, the handsome man is not His Majesty's descendant, and it is normal for His Majesty to be suspicious and wary." If this was done by the generals of the Shence Army, His Majesty would never say anything, but if the marshal did it, His Majesty would probably think that the marshal was killing people and killing people, and he was a thief. ”
Gao Jie's good mood is gone.
From the moment of the Northern Expedition, Li Chengdong reminded him more than once that the imperial court would be suspicious of him.
Although Gao Jie didn't believe it very much, he almost believed it after listening to it a lot.
Hate only hates that he is from a rogue, even if it has been nearly ten years since he returned to the Ming Dynasty, this old story will always be turned out and discussed.
"Then what should I do, I can't kill him, do you want to let him go?"
"Of course not!" Li Chengdong hurriedly said: "You can't let it go, the big marshal might as well tie up this guy and send someone to Nanjing, and ask Your Majesty to make a holy decision." ”
