Chapter 50: On the Road
From ancient times to the present, the Jurchens have been a highly aggressive people, and in Nurhachi's generation, this characteristic has been brought into full play.
Since the Ming Dynasty couldn't fight for the time being, Nurhachi and his ministers, Baylor, and Beizi discussed, and simply pointed the spearhead at North Korea, on the one hand, North Korea's soft persimmon is really easy to handle, and in addition, in the battle of Salhu, he also sent troops to follow and participate, which also just gave Nurhachi an excuse to send troops, so as not to fight the Ming Dynasty in the future, North Korea will make trouble in the back.
This time, the old slave did not go out in person, but sent his nephew Amin and son Daishan to invade Korea with 10,000 horses each.
For a while, the Korean Peninsula was in turmoil again, and although the king of Korea knew that the Ming Dynasty was difficult to protect itself at this time, and it was impossible to help them, he still sent a message for help to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
As the king of Joseon predicted, in the battle of Sarhu, the Ming Dynasty lost hundreds of thousands of troops, and countless losses of food and equipment, in this case, is there still the ability to help the vassal state?
However, this kind of detrimental to the prestige of the Celestial Empire must not be said, so the Ming officials took out the best ability - ripping off.
That is, he did not say that he would save it, nor did he say that he would not save it, but just told the envoys of the DPRK that the report had been typed, and the imperial court was holding a meeting to study it, and when the results of the study were out, he would definitely notify you as soon as possible.
In this way, the Korean envoy was coldly placed in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
What happened on the Korean Peninsula, of course, has nothing to do with Ye Xun, no matter in the past life or in this life, Ye Xun has never had a good impression of that stick nation, for him in this life, the Jurchens have destroyed the sticks, saving him a lot of effort.
Although Ye Xun and his entourage were all cavalry, there were a few more carriages in the team, so they couldn't go fast.
Fortunately, the holy decree works for others, but for Ye Xun, the guy who has crossed over, he doesn't care too much, as long as the meaning is reached, why is it so serious! So coming out of Tieling, it is a bit of a trip to the mountains and rivers.
The most excited in the team are the little sisters of the Hua family, the young ladies have never been far away, and they have always been spoiled by Ye Xun, almost never restricting their freedom, the young ladies are happy like two cheerful birds, chattering all the way and always talking.
has Ye Xun's arrogance, and the young ladies are innocent and innocent, so the young ladies have become a landscape in the team, as long as they see them, everyone's mood will be inexplicably cheerful.
Because of Ye Xun's existence, from Tieling to Shenyang, he has always been under the control of the Ming army, so Ye Xun and his party don't need to be too nervous.
Ye Xun didn't plan to go to Shenyang, on the one hand, there was nothing important, and although the meeting with Xiong Tingbi was short, the general things had been finalized, so there was no need to bother anymore, and Xiong Tingbi should still be in Fushun at this time.
Seeing that the sun was setting up in the west, Ye Xun ordered to set up camp, not to be early or dark, to hurry as much as possible during the day, to go there and rest, and never let himself and his subordinates get tired.
In fact, the behavior of Ye Xun and his entourage has already been notified to the various city gates on the way to enter the customs.
With the previous military exploits, coupled with the emperor's impressive looks, civil and military officials at all levels in Liaodong have been preparing to make friends with them, no one is stupid, they all know that after Ye Xun goes to the capital, Gao Sheng is inevitable, if you don't have a good relationship at this time, when will you stay?
Ye Xun's main tent here had just been set up, and under the service of the Hua sisters, he had just picked up the hot tea and took a sip, when he heard Liang Zhen's voice outside the tent.
"Father-in-law Qiyu, Shenyang He sent someone to ask for a meeting"
Ye Xun had already asked his subordinates who were familiar with the terrain before, and knew that this place was only a few dozen miles away from Shenyang, and if he was in a normal hurry tomorrow, he would not delay his trip by bypassing Shenyang.
Now that Shenyang He has sent someone, he has obviously been paying attention to Ye Xun's whereabouts, which is not good, after all, they will have to work together in the future.
motioned for the two ladies to go to the back tent first, and then ordered Liang Zhen to invite someone in.
There was not much time, and a burly young general strode in under the guidance of Liang Zhen, and after entering, he knelt on one knee and gave a standard military salute.
"Mo General Zhao Wenqing has seen Ye Gonggong"
This young general named Zhao Wenqing is tall and jade, with a handsome face, and he is a very beautiful man, but the beautiful men in the army are obviously not comparable to those sissies, with a handsome face and a mighty armor, people feel a little close at first sight.
Although Ye Xun was a little jealous of this guy's appearance, he was very respectful, so he couldn't find fault at all.
Hurriedly got up and helped Zhao Wenqing up with his own hands, and said, "General Zhao is polite, our family doesn't have so many rules, stand up and speak, how is your general soldier?" ”
Zhao Wenqing was helped up by Ye Xun, the look of reverence in his eyes was even stronger, and said: "The chief soldier of my family heard that Ye Gonggong was going to enter Beijing, so he must do his best to meet the friendship of the landlord, just because he is busy with official business, otherwise he will definitely come to greet his father-in-law in person."
Without waiting for Ye Xun to speak, he immediately said: "The first battle of Gonggong Tieling, the first warrior of the Jurchens, forced the old slave to flee in disgrace, and now the name of the father-in-law has spread all over the land of Liaodong, and there are rumors that the father-in-law has a peerless military exploits, but he loves the soldiers and the people, and is approachable.
Zhao Wenqing said that despite Ye Xun's obstruction, he really knelt down again.
Ye Xun's face was originally thick enough, but he was touted by Zhao Wenqing like this, but he still blushed.
waved his hand and said: "It's over, it's over, it's so exaggerated, come, sit down and talk"
Fortunately, Ye Gonggong's psychological quality is strong enough, otherwise he will be praised and can't find the north, so he ordered someone to move Zhao Wenqing to a seat, and then said: "General Zhao came just in time, so we don't have to send someone to run, that's the case, Your Majesty is very urgent, this time I won't bother General He, when I come back, even if General He doesn't invite me, our family also wants to ask for a glass of wine."
Hearing Ye Xun say this, Zhao Wenqing suddenly became a little anxious, and said hurriedly: "My father-in-law is passing through Shenyang, how can he pass without entering?" This is spread out, my colleagues in Liaodong, I still have to think that my family's chief soldier treats my father-in-law slowly? If my father-in-law really wants to leave, General Mo will have no shame to go back and surrender to my family's general soldiers! ”
Looking at Zhao Wenqing's posture, if Ye Xun doesn't go to Shenyang, he will have a dead sentence.
"This..."
Ye Xun was also a little embarrassed, this has not yet arrived in Shenyang, if the next Chengguan generals are so enthusiastic, when will he be able to get to the capital?
So this head must not be opened, and I will explain it to them when I come back!
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt the ground shake.
Ye Xun's internal strength is profound, his hearing is much higher than that of ordinary people, it has not been a day or two since he was reborn, of course he can hear what this sound is caused by.
This kind of vibration can only be caused by the cavalry brigade when galloping.
This is the realm of the Ming Dynasty, and I didn't receive any news of the Jurchen invasion in advance, so that was the cavalry from there?
Thinking of this, Ye Xun couldn't help but look at Zhao Wenqing suspiciously, and asked, "Did General He send anyone else?" ”
After speaking, Ye Xun immediately reacted, Shenyang is in the southwest direction, but the sound of horses' hooves is coming from the northeast direction, it is definitely not He Shixian, whose team will it be?
