Chapter 253: Catch it first
Yang Xin hurriedly arranged his affairs after leaving, and then embarked on a journey to the west with Cao Wenzhao, and they went south to Gushan and then turned to Xiuyan......
This is also the route of Cao Wenzhao when he came.
Together with Cao Wenzhao's 100 personal soldiers, they spent three days crossing the Liaodong Peninsula with one person and two horses.
Gaizhou.
Here Yang Xin learned the news of the withdrawal of the wild boar skin.
Knowing that Yang Xin landed in Zhenjiang City and completely annihilated the wild boar skin of Mang Gurtai, he did not hesitate to do anything on this issue, and Jiannu, who had appeared in the north of Shenyang City, immediately withdrew all of them, and was beheaded by the pursuing He Shixian Two hundred, it can be said that the retreat was very hasty, and the northern front was also attacked by the cavalry of Delgrad and Zhou Yuji, and the rear team lost more than two hundred.
This time, he still got nothing.
Yang Xin wrote a note to Tianqi in Yaozhouyi, telling him the real cause of Xiong Tingbi's death, and there was also a possible mastermind behind the scenes.
Governor Yuan really didn't necessarily tell the apocalypse.
Of course, this Yuan governor is Yuan Yingtai, a governor of Liaodong, but because of the main strategy, the governor here is more of a logistics officer, and the original governor is Zhou Yongchun, who has a good relationship with Xiong Tingbi, and has been quietly giving Xiong Tingbi this logistics officer. But last year, he went home, and then he was replaced by Yuan Yingtai, who originally ruined the war situation in Liaodong, but in the position of governor, Yuan Yingtai is quite competent, he did a good job in pacifying the local supply logistics, but he has no military talent, but he must understand a little......
He is a Donglin party.
And a very shrewd politician.
Since Chen Yujie told him the truth, whether he knew it before or not, he would play in an ambiguous way in this matter, and would not clearly tell the apocalypse that Xiong Tingbi was shot black.
This is also the reason why Chen Yujie hurriedly asked Cao Wenzhao to go to Zhenjiang.
He was also worried about that.
In addition, there are new candidates for Liaodong Economic Strategy.
This must not be allowed to Yuan Yingtai to take over, and the purpose of the Donglin Party must be him, and then Wang Huazhen took over the governor of Liaodong, and the two of them passed through a governor and Liaodong completely fell into the hands of the Donglin Party, Xiong Tingbi was at most a neutral faction, no matter how fierce the infighting in the court was, he would not mix. But if Yuan Yingtai and Wang Huazhen control the hundreds of thousands of troops in Liaodong, then when the internal fighting in the imperial court is fierce in the future, it will be difficult to guarantee whether they will use the army to exert pressure.
Those generals can't be trusted.
These guys are easy to buy.
Originally, when the internal strife was at its most intense in history, the Donglin Party tried to encourage Sun Chengzong to return to the capital with the army, but in fact Sun Chengzong was indeed instigated, but in the end he was stopped by the holy decree.
Yang Xin's suggestion to the apocalypse was Gaodi.
Of course, it is not the general soldier at the time of the Battle of Shanhaiguan, the latter is from Yulin, and this Gao Di is the Jiliao Governor at the time of the Battle of Ningyuan, a native of Luanzhou, who just went to serve as the governor of Datong this year, this person is not saying how strong his military talent is, but he is good at winning people's hearts. Of course, being good at winning people's hearts means being good at making cakes for everyone to share, but at this time, Liaodong is not in much danger, but because of Xiong Tingbi's sudden death, coupled with the next purge, it will definitely cause panic in people's hearts, so there must be someone who can stabilize people's hearts.
Gaudi is suitable for this role.
As for the military, the boar skin is practically hopeless.
In the previous battle on the south bank of the Qing River, Chen Ce's Northern Route Army had actually defeated Daishan in a head-to-head battle on the battlefield, although it was done with the help of the Mongols and Yehebu, but after the combination of the White Pole Soldiers and the Zhejiang Army, it had already shown the strength of this combination that could be said to make Jiannu fearful.
In this battle of the 40,000 Mingmeng Yehe coalition army against the 20,000 Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Jiannu elite commanded by Dai Shan attacked the mixed formation of the white pole soldiers and the Zhejiang army six times in a row, but not only failed to break away at all, but left more than 1,000 corpses in front of their formation. Then Zhao led the cavalry alliance of Jiaojiao and Zai Sai, taking advantage of Jiannu's fatigue and low morale, suddenly attacked its flank with all his strength, and when the battle was fierce, the cavalry of Delgrad and Zhou Yuji took advantage of their familiarity with the terrain to suddenly attack from the flank and rear, which eventually led to the collapse of Jiannu's entire formation.
It's similar to the Battle of the Hunhe River in the original history.
It's just that this time the cavalry of the Ming army is not like the Liaoxi Army during the Battle of the Hunhe River.
This battle meant that the large-scale field capability of the Ming army began to be restored.
And the boar skin is constantly weakening.
After this change, although it is still unrealistic to enter the mountains and forests to clear the eradication, there is no problem in blocking the expansion of wild boar skin to the Liaodong Plain, in fact, after this failure, I am afraid that the wild boar skin will not have the courage to go west in the short term, and he does not have the ability.
"What's next?"
Cao Wenzhao asked.
"To arrest Sun Degong, whether he did it or not, you have to arrest him first."
Yang Xin said.
Yang Yanshi does not have the habit of bothering to investigate the case, his style is to arrest the suspect when he identifies him, and then torture him first and then talk about it, whether it is another question or not.
"Then we have to go to Quang Ninh!"
Cao Wenzhao said with a solemn face.
They also got the news here, Hudun Tuhan or Lin Dan Khan, is leading the Chahar coalition army to take the opportunity to attack Liaoxi, which is also the reason why the Fried Flower and the Bahrain Department did not dare to go north, the relationship between Fried Flower and Lin Dan Khan has been delicate recently, they are afraid that Lin Dan Khan will nominally attack Liaoxi, but actually look for an opportunity to raid them, you must know that this Great Khan and Wang Huazhen of Guangning actually have a good relationship.
After Jiang Bi's troops got the news, they had already hurriedly retreated to Quang Ninh to defend Lin Dan Khan.
In other words, Sun Degong still led the army.
"Let's go!"
Yang Xin sneered.
In this case, Cao Wenzhao didn't say anything more.
The two of them went straight to Niuzhuang with a hundred soldiers the next day, and they ran two hundred miles to arrive in the evening of the same day, but they did not go to Niuzhuang Station, but went directly to Yang Xin's business here.
"Uh, why are you here!"
Yang Xin looked at Chen Yujie, who was also here, in surprise.
"I guess you'll have to pass by here, I'm sending Xiong Jingluo's body to Liaoyang."
Chen Yujie said.
"The heart has a soul!"
Yang Xin said.
"Pull it down, I've been miserable by you, you really don't dare to do it, the champion dares to kill, Gao Panlong's family dares to copy, Donglin Academy dares to seal, and dares to directly bombard the scholars, I want to say that you are crazy, do you know that I am also one of them? During this time, Su Songchang and even friends in Jiaxing wrote letters to cut off my robe and break my righteousness, saying that if I go back to Songjiang, it is estimated that everyone should shout and beat, and why do you want to force Qian Shisheng to death? ”
Chen Yujie said angrily.
"He plotted to kill me with shells, and of course I can't spare him."
Yang Xin said.
"Then what kind of militia is it to endanger everyone in Su Songchang and the gentry? Let me first explain that my family still has more than 10,000 acres of land! ”
Chen Yujie said.
"That one was just revenge on them."
Yang Xin said.
"Also, you also arrested Long Huamin?"
Chen Yujie said.
"Don't worry, I won't kill him, I'm going to send him to Macau when I turn around, and then force the Portuguese in Macau to pay money to apologize, even if it is for the sake of you and the face of the XCMG Ministry, I will give him a preferential treatment, after all, in my calculations, he must be worth at least two million taels."
Yang Xin said.
"Then I want to thank you!"
Chen Yujie said angrily.
Of course, at this point, he had nothing to say.
Although he was scolded by the scholars of his hometown, because of Yang Xin's relationship, the profits of his family and the Xu, Sun and other families are also real, especially with the mining of silver mines in Yehebu and the prosperity of trade in fried flowers and other departments, the future of their families is bright. In other words, this kind of good thing will definitely not be cheap to others, for example, the cotton cloth that Yang Xin shipped is basically supplied by a few of them, as well as the ginseng, deer antlers, and precious animal skins traded by the Jurchen tribe in Yehebu, which are also sold by several of them in the south.
An alliance of interests has been formed.
What's more, he is now a rising star-level official.
Not only has he been promoted from a showman to the fifth grade, but Yuan Yingtai has already reported his merits for the battle of Qinghe, and it is inevitable that he will be promoted again, and then he will break through the invisible ceiling of the non-jinshi background, and the non-jinshi background in the Ming Dynasty can rarely exceed the fifth grade.
And if he rises again, he will definitely surpass.
So just complain, his family's 10,000 acres of land is a fart, he is willing to ask for it near Kaiyuan, one million acres is a sentence, in fact, if Yang Xin didn't agree, he would have wanted to open a few wastelands in Kaiyuan and plant sweet potatoes. The land is very fertile, and the only problem is the cold spot, but in fact, in his opinion, it is not impossible to grow rice, in short, the land is really not worth mentioning in his eyes, after all, he governs a vast plain of nearly 2,000 square kilometers but less than 20,000 people.
"Here's the bullet."
Chen Yujie took out a slightly deformed lead bullet from a small box and said.
This was the main purpose of waiting for Yang Xin here.
"I've already weighed it, it's not our bird guns, our bird guns, several types of shotguns, including three-eyed guns and sharpshooters, etc., none of them have this weight, Xiong Jingluo doesn't wear iron armor on his body, and his simple cotton armor will not cause the loss of projectiles. The bullet was fired from the back, avoiding the bone and directly wounding the heart, but the penetration was not deep, and it was not surprisingly hit with a short gun, and it was a short gun that was not used in our army. ”
He went on to say.
Yang Xin looked at the projectile in front of him.
"Take out the dastard I just gave you!"
Yang Xin said to Cao Wenzhao.
The latter immediately pulled out the new weapon he had just gotten, which was actually the chagrin of Salazar's dead companion.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Wenzhao took out a bullet.
Chen Yujie quickly asked the guy to take a pole to weigh the silver......
"Well, I'll admit that some people are excessive!"
Looking at the results, he said very dryly.
