Chapter 207: Indulge, Eunuch Minions
The hapless Wujiang gentry eventually paid a heavy price for their onlookers.
They added 10,000 taels of weight to Yang Xinzuo's ship.
As for the mother and daughter......
That is the talented girl Shen Yixiu of Wujiang and her daughters, the same famous talented girl in the late Ming Dynasty, Ye Xiaoxiu, and she also has the youngest daughter Ye Xiaoying who did not appear, this mother and daughter are the model of Jiangnan women in the late Ming Dynasty, and they are also Fang Tinglan's idols.
Fang Tinglan and her cousin are still best friends!
Her cousin Zhang Qianqian is currently in the capital, and she is actually her brother-in-law.
But her younger brother Shen Zizheng belongs to that kind of high-roller, wandering the rivers and lakes all the year round, spending a lot of money, making it quite difficult for Zhang Qianqian, who has no children and no daughters, to make a living in the capital alone, and was recently invited by Fang Tinglan to help, but Fang Tinglan didn't dare to let Yang Xin see it, probably because he was afraid that this bastard would touch people's doors in the middle of the night. It is said that Zhang Qianqian is a well-known beauty, although she is married, she is only in her twenties, and she is in her good years, after knowing that Yang Xin has this ability to sneak into the night with the wind, Fang Tinglan has attached great importance to this issue.
Yang Xin continued to move forward.
Then there were no onlookers along the way.
Even in Suzhou, it was like a devil entering the village, and the entire wharf was fleeing.
However, no matter whether it was the governor of Yingtian, who was actually stationed in Suzhou, or the people of Suzhou Prefecture, no one went to the dock to greet Yang Yanshi......
This kind of traitor, no righteous man or gentleman would disdain to approach.
But no one dared to provoke it.
In short, he was like an ordinary businessman, silently passing through this city, which could be called the industrial and commercial center of the Ming Dynasty at this time, and then drove directly into the city in the wailing of the Wuxi gentry......
Wuxi Military Management Commission.
"Uncle, reinforcements from Nanjing have arrived."
Yang Huan said.
Yang Xin nodded.
"In addition, Gonggong Li sent someone over and said that grandpa asked him to tell you that the capital can hold on for the time being, and we can just let it go within a month, and those ministers can't blackmail Your Majesty at present. No matter whether they impeach or beat the drum, it is useless to ask the cabinet to see His Majesty, as long as His Majesty does not see them, then whatever they do must go through the celebrant after all.
And His Majesty is busy now, and he doesn't have time to take care of the outside.
But by next month, once Jiannu attacks again, we can't continue like this.
He was there until the beginning of April at most. ”
Yang Huan then said.
At this time, it was just the end of February, Jiangnan did have the appearance of spring, but Liaodong was still icy and snowy, and the wild boar skin that had just survived a cold winter began to move at this time, in fact, in the previous winter, there were continuous skirmishes between him and Xiong Tingbi.
There are still winners and losers.
It is impossible to count on the Ming army under the command of Xiong Tingbi to turn the situation around.
All he can do is to hold on, and even give up some places when needed, he will not change the Ming army, and it is impossible for him to betray the civilian system, but as a civilian official with a certain military talent, he will not make those childish mistakes.
It's not that you don't make mistakes.
It's about not making the childish mistake of Yuan Yingtai.
And as long as such a mistake is not made, it is no problem to simply defend with the strength of the Ming army.
Now even the Hongyi cannon has begun to be installed on the city wall, this thing is definitely a sharp weapon in defense, and there are also 10,000 enemies, Xiong Tingbi has already made a large number of 10,000 enemies, and almost all important castles in Liaodong are equipped with this kind of thing.
But it was impossible to count on the Ming army to reverse the situation of passive defense.
At least Xiong Tingbi can't do it.
However, Chen Yujie performed outstandingly, not only had he begun to build a temple for that master, but also refined silver for Jintaiji, although a total of only a few thousand taels were refined, but the latter dug too few ores, and it was difficult to transport in winter, and Chen Yujie had too few craftsmen. But he did refine silver for Jin Taiji, and even refined hundreds of taels of gold, Ye Hebu was in a state of excitement, and everyone stared at the blood-red mountains and forests around them that had been with them for a hundred years.
In addition, he also cast a bunch of furlong machines for Jintaiji, and at present, the eastern and western cities of Yehe are equipped with cannons.
Even the 10,000 enemies gave them a lot.
The Ming army had expanded to 10,000 and the cavalry to 5,000.
Part of this is the northwest recruitment of Zhao Led Sect, and then the original Kaitie military household collected by Huang Degong, and the Liaoxi military household recruited by Zhou Yuji from Jinzhou.
They are all capable of fighting.
They also rebuilt their defenses.
However, it is still to abandon Kaiyuan City, but to repair the original castle in the area of Laomiwan, after all, they have to rely on the river to ensure that they are not isolated, including the fortress has also begun to be selected for construction, it is estimated that if it can hold on this year, it will be seen before the end of the year.
Stir-fried flowers there are also all working fine.
Although the situation in the steppe was getting worse and worse, he had a food supply there, and during the whole navigation period, a group of transport ships going north continued to trade with them under the guise of transporting military supplies to Kaiyuan, so that the herdsmen had enough food to survive the winter safely. On the contrary, the Horqin tribes, which were blocked by the five Inner Khalkha tribes in the west, were struggling on the hunger line, and even fought many times in order to grab grain and Zhong Nen.
In short, judging from the current situation in Liaodong, as long as there are no low-level mistakes, it is still difficult for wild boar skin to break through the encirclement of this de facto alliance.
In fact, he was also having a hard time there.
This winter of wild boar skin is still survived by the North Koreans.
Most of the grain Li Hui bought from Dengzhou was sent to the wild boar skins in exchange for the latter's second invasion, but on the contrary, his own country was full of famine, and his rule could already be said to be precarious.
There were even Korean nobles who went to the capital to petition.
Trying to gain the support of the Ming Dynasty and overthrow the tyrannical rule of this faint king.
However, the Ming Dynasty changed three emperors a year, and the internal emperor and ministers were wrestling with each other, and they didn't care about the life and death of the Korean people for the time being.
In fact, Li Hui also has many supporters.
After all, those sober-minded people in North Korea actually understand that this is the wisest choice in their current situation, otherwise the wild boar skin will not be able to break through Xiong Tingbi's defense line, and they will still enter North Korea again after all, and these hungry wolves can even eat people. The last time they invaded left the north of Pyongyang in ruins, it is still a no-man's land, if you come again, I am afraid that the army will come to Seoul, although the result of buying grain is humiliating, but it is useful, they really can't beat the wild boar skin, but they can beat the rebellious people!
As long as the boar skins don't invade anymore, they will be able to maintain their rule!
It is not worth mentioning to them that the people starved to death, and there was no one who starved to death in any year.
And Lin Dan Khan, another force in the north, or Hudun Tuhan, as the Ming Dynasty called it, is still dreaming of his Great Khan, remaining indifferent to the war between the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu, occasionally running to the Great Wall line to show his existence, and more energy is used to repair temples and translate scriptures, making the interior more and more disintegrated......
To be precise, they fell apart.
He is nothing more than the leader of a Chahar tribe
To be precise, it is the eight departments of Chahar, from Liaoxi to Laohahe, and no one in the remaining departments cares about him, and respecting him as a great sweat is just a habit, not that he is really regarded as a monarch.
Moxi Mongolia is the enemy, people call themselves Khan, Mobei Sanbu just shouted him a big sweat, fried flowers this old thing just treated him as a child, Horqin Department even ignored him, Tumut, Ordos and other departments themselves lived their own in the west. He was the Great Khan's dream in the Chahar Eight Divisions, and this dream was also shattered by his beliefs, and he should have punished the Horqin tribe who had disrespected him the most in history, and then caused the Horqin tribe to completely fall into the arms of wild boar skins.
But it's hard to say how now.
However, Yang Xin heard that he was very dissatisfied with fried flowers recently.
After all, the days of frying flowers are currently the most comfortable in all departments, and this old guy is becoming the target of envy and hatred of other departments.
If you can't get Lin Dan Khan, you have to crusade against him first.
Therefore, Lin Dan Khan may become a variable in Liaodong this year.
If he cooperated with the wild boar skin and took the opportunity to join forces with the Horqin Department to fight against the fried flowers when the wild boar skins attacked the Yehe Division, then the alliance that Yang Xin had worked so hard to establish would really be in danger, and if there was no rescue from the fried flowers, Jintaiji would be very dangerous. Chen Yujie can only be contained, and he does not have the ability to really force the wild boar skin to withdraw the army, unless Xiong Tingbi can mobilize the Ming army to the north during this period, but then Xiong Tingbi will be forced to have a field decisive battle with the wild boar skin that he least wants.
This one may not be much.
In short, judging from the current situation, the worst possible thing in Liaodong this year is that Lin Dan Khan cooperates with wild boar skins, one crusades against fried flowers and the other attacks Jintaiji, Xiong Tingbi continues to sit back and watch Jintaiji be destroyed in the end, and then the war returns to the original point two years ago.
However, there is also Yang Xin here!
"A month!"
Yang Xin said.
"Enough, see how Lao Tzu plays with them!"
The guy said viciously.
"Uncle, in the past few days, we have put up signs, encouraged the people to come to report, and declared the Ye family's property, but none of them came, my nephew secretly inquired, it is said that several big families in the city sent people to move around to threaten those tenants and borrowers, those tenants and borrowers did not dare to come, two floating corpses have been found yesterday, it is estimated that they want to be killed by them to make an example."
Yang Huan said cautiously.
"Did I let you check the ship that sent the red-haired man to find it?"
Yang Xin asked.
"No, there are too many ships here, and there is a good chance that they have already left."
Yang Huan said ashamedly.
"It's okay, it's good that we still have a dog that can bite people at will."
Yang Xin said.
This result is inevitable.
But he still has Qian Shiyi in his hand, so he doesn't need to find out who is an accomplice, just say that he confessed who he wants to be......
Well, Qian Shiyi hasn't confessed yet.
But what does it matter? As long as you can catch people.
"We need to make a list!"
Yang Xin rubbed his hands and said.
