Sun Chengzong left, taking with him 5,000 musketeers selected from the Shenji Battalion, as well as 20 cannons, 50 Furang machine cannons and a large number of other military supplies, including those forks made by Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao personally took the ministers to the outside of the city gate.

Zhu Youxiao walked in front of Sun Chengzong, waved his hand, Wang An trotted over with a plate in both hands, lifted the red cloth on the plate, Zhu Youxiao took out the telescope with the best effect and handed it to Sun Chengzong, Sun Chengzong didn't know what it was, Zhu Youxiao motioned for him to put it on his eyes, and then tried to telescopic the bamboo tube to adjust the focus.

Looking at the constantly changing scenery in front of him, Sun Chengzong was taken aback, and couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, what kind of divine object is this, how can you make the minister see the scenery nearly ten miles away." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "This thing is called a telescope, which was first discovered by Westerners, but because of the problem of raw materials, it has not been applied in a large area, and now I and the craftsmen have made ten frames, these five are the best ones to give you and Xiong Tingbi one each, and the remaining three can be temporarily assigned on the battlefield as needed, but they must be recovered after the war to avoid loss." ”

Sun Chengzong said: "With the help of such a divine object made by His Majesty, the old minister will be more confident to defend Liaodong for the Ming Dynasty." Your Majesty is really smart, such a divine thing can be made, and the old minister will live up to His Majesty's trust. ”

In the city of Haotuara in Liaodong, in the palace of Nurhachi, a group of people are now sitting. Nurhachi sat in the center, with a young Han man sitting on the left and the eldest son, Aisin Jueluo, on the right. Dai Shan, Dai Shan's following is the most precious son Huang Taiji.

This Han man was Nurhachi's military officer Fan Wencheng, who was originally a talent in the Ming Dynasty, but later followed his brother to do business in Liaodong, and after being captured by Nurhachi, he took refuge in Nurhachi. Because Nurhachi was taught by his former military advisor * Lu to unify the Jurchen tribes, he was very fond of the cultured and loyal Han Chinese, so Fan Wencheng was extremely courteous.

*Lu, also as *six. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhejiang Shaoxing would be an auditor. Nurhachi's first advisor. At the end of Jiajing, Shi Fang was young. He was exiled by the Jurchens in Liaodong and belonged to Nurhachi in the seventeenth year of Wanli (1589). Respected as a master, known as a "literary outsider". He was in charge of clerical affairs, handled foreign affairs, and participated in the reception of envoys from North Korea and the Ming Dynasty. All replies (including replies stamped with the seal of Jianzhou Zuowei by Shen Zhongyi) are from hand. "Teach the son of the old Yi Kechi (Nurhachi)". Chu Ying, Mang Gurtai, Abatai and Huang Taiji were all apprenticed. It has a great influence on Nurhachi's knowledge of Sinology. "Invested in the captive land for more than 30 years", Nurhachi treated him very well, "there are children surnamed concubines, and the family property is ten thousand gold". After not knowing what to do, he was suspected of being punished. Regardless of the outcome of * Lu, he made great contributions to Nurhachi's unification of the Jurchen tribe and the rise, so it also changed Nurhachi's extreme emphasis on the literati, this result not only affected the rise of the original Jurchen tribe, but also had a great impact on later generations, such as the later recruitment of Hong Chengchou and so on for this reason, so that after the founding of the Qing Dynasty, a large number of cultured and spineless Donglin Party members were recruited, and these scum were distortedly used, resulting in the decline of national strength, although the life of the Qing Dynasty was extended, However, it has brought endless humiliation to the entire Chinese nation, humiliated the country by losing power, and seeking peace by losing land, making the world-leading Chinese civilization a laughing stock in the world.

Fan Wencheng was extremely grateful for Nurhachi's courtesy, and he also tried his best to plan for Nurhachi. In fact, the Battle of Sarhu is one of the classics of Lu Yuan's plan to assist Nurhachi in victory. Fan Wencheng took advantage of his appearance as a Han man to make friends with Han people who came and went for business, not only accumulated a lot of money and military materials for Nurhachi, but also bought off a lot of traitors, so that Nurhachi could know himself and his opponent, and found out the reality of the Ming army in the Battle of Sarhu, and formulated the attack of the Ming army by virtue of the mobility ability of the Eight Banners Cavalry, thus laying the foundation for Nurhachi to dominate Liaodong.

Now Nurhachi has received the news that Xiong Tingbi has been escorted to the capital and imprisoned in Dongchang. In fact, Xiong Tingbi's detention was also a conspiracy planned by Fan Wencheng, and Yang Yuan's housekeeper Yang Renzhi was an undercover agent bought by Fan Wencheng. In fact, the thing is very simple, Yang Yuan is old, and he also commits the common problem of men, and he can't satisfy the group of wives and concubines, one of the concubines hooked up with Yang Renzhi, and this concubine is the spy sent by Fan Wencheng, she is a Manchurian, her parents were killed by Li Chengliang, she was full of hatred for the people of the Ming Dynasty, and volunteered to be a spy.

Yang Renzhi fell for the beauty trick without knowing it, and was later coerced by Fan Wencheng, and Fan Wencheng also gave him a lot of money. As a result, Yang Renzhi became a traitor who betrayed the Ming Dynasty. At first, Yang Renzhi was still a little guilty, but he completely lost his conscience in front of the mountains of gold and silver treasures, and he was determined to do things for Fan Wencheng. It was he who took advantage of the opportunity to enter Yang Yuan's study at any time, heard the conversation between Yang Min and Yang Yuan, and clarified the reality of the Ming army, so that Nurhachi formulated the tactics of "no matter how many ways I come, I will only attack one way", thus fighting a classic battle of winning more with less and winning with weak.

After receiving a secret letter from Fan Wencheng, asking him to encourage Yang Yuan to drive away Xiong Tingbi, Yang Renzhi began to plan. Although Xiong Tingbi single-handedly contributed to Yang Yuan's death, it was impossible for Yang Yuan to make up his mind to drive Xiong Tingbi away on this basis, and there must be other things that made Yang Yuan even more angry. Yang Yuan is also a family in Liaodong, with a huge family power, or it is impossible to become the governor of Liaodong after Li Chengliang's death, maintaining such a large family power is bound to cost a lot of money, whether it is to maintain the relationship between colleagues, or to deal with the Beijing officials and Jingcha from the capital, it is necessary to do some smuggling business with the official position of the governor, which is accustomed to the border in the late Ming Dynasty, no official is not greedy, Yang Renzhi and Fan Wencheng designed a good calculation Yang Yuan.

First of all, Yang Renzhi arranged the personal soldiers in Yang Yuan's mansion to put on Xiong Tingbi's clothes, and when Xiong Tingbi was patrolling various places, he harassed the nearby people, so that the squires kept complaining to the governor's mansion. Next, Fan Wencheng deliberately revealed the whereabouts of Yang Yuan's smuggled horse team to Xiong Tingbi's subordinates, and Yang Yuan's business suffered heavy losses several times. Yang Renzhi took the opportunity to instigate Yang Yuan's personal vendetta, which led to the incident of Xiong Tingbi being escorted to Beijing.

Fan Wencheng believes that there will be troubles if the snake does not die, and adheres to the idea that cutting the grass must be eradicated, and has secretly ordered Yang Renzhi to send people to beat Feng Sanyuan, Yao Zongwen, Gu Wei, these Ming Dynasty officials who are narrow-minded, greedy for money, and excessive party strife, and Yang Renzhi also happened to get Yang Yuan's hint that he must let Xiong Tingbi lose his official position and resign, which led to the farce of the three of them joining forces to impeach Xiong Tingbi.

Now it was Fan Wencheng's method that aroused Zhu Youxiao's vigilance, and he sent two intelligence agencies, Jinyiwei and Dongchang, to act at the same time.
