Yanghe, when the first heavy snow of this year came, the Xuanda Governor's Mansion ushered in a new master - the new Xuanda Governor Liang Tingdong, the former governor Yang Sichang died of his father Yang He's illness, and resigned after only one year in office.

Liang Tingdong didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing for him, but he finally turned over again, and Yang Sichang left a good situation - Shanxi Governor Wu Zhu exterminated the Tukou Gaojiaji, Shanxi bandits were basically pacified, the officials and troops of Datong and Xuanfu towns have been reorganized, and they have also been organized into an army, and the most competitive is still the Naturalization Town, which regained the border of Xuanfu and forced back the Dongyu with his own strength, and the threat outside the gate was temporarily lifted, but the four towns of Xuanda have always been the place of death of the governor and the general soldier, and there are few good endings, so that everyone is afraid, Being an official here is not necessarily a good thing.

Forget it, don't think about it too much, where is there a good place to be an official now, and the Jingshi can't stay for a long time, Wu Zongda and Wang Yingxiong Zhishi of the cabinet, "Turtle King Ba Slice" only Shoufu Wen Tiren is left to fight alone, but the more he fights, the more spirited he becomes, and he Wusu and Wen Zhenmeng, who has just entered the cabinet for a month, are driven back to their hometowns, that Wen Zhenmeng is the grandson of Wen Zhengming, a famous man in Jiangnan, and he is also one of the leaders of Qingliu, Qingliu will never suffer this loss in vain, wait and see, there is another vicious fight in the court, it is better to stay away.

Liang Tingdong drank tea in the study, turned his thoughts back to reality, and looked at the official document on the table again - force is the most important in troubled times, Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanda, may be able to use it for a long time, Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, is a showman in Beijing, and Wang Zhong, the chief soldier of Shanxi, is messing around, these two people are not of great use, Li Yu, the naturalized chief soldier, has made great achievements, and he could have relied on the backbone, but he was lawless and did whatever he wanted, and in the eyes of the Qingliu of the Beijing Division, it was more dangerous than the worship of the year, but everyone did not dare to provoke this person. Liang Tingdong was born as a magistrate, and he paid more attention to practical interests, and he still had to envelop capable people, not to mention that when he was the secretary of the military department, Li Yu followed Liu Zhilun to mix in Beijing for a few days, and went to the military department to meet him a few times.

At the beginning of Liang Tingdong's tenure, he summoned Li Yu to Yanghe, but Liu Zhilun, the governor of naturalization, returned, and the naturalized general army went on an expedition to Mobei. Liang Tingdong was taken aback, this guy is too bold, he didn't let out a fart and went to Mobei, is that where people go? Don't make trouble for me, Liang Tingdong scolded Li Yu for being lawless in his heart, but he couldn't control it, so he could only wait patiently for him to come back.

Go wherever you want, it's better to die outside and everyone has no worries - Liang Tingdong was secretly scolding Li Yu, and the scribe came in to report that the naturalized soldiers were asking to see him outside the Governor's Mansion, Liang Tingdong was overjoyed, but he said: "Just say that the official is handling official business, let him wait in the concierge to be summoned." ”

Liang Tingdong picked up the tea again, read a few official documents casually, and then went around everywhere, and then came back slowly and methodically, and asked the scribe to pass Li Yu to the study to see him - this guy is open-mouthed, don't say the wrong thing and burden yourself, it's better to see him alone in the study.

"Boss, I can see you again, the last general will report to you the victory, Khalkha confessed, and presented you with five hundred good horses, and the last general brought them." Li Yu shouted when he entered the study, the change of the governor of Xuanda was a good thing for him, Yang Sichang was shrewd and capable, and he was uncomfortable, Liang Tingdong, he still had an impression, he should be fooled, and when he returned to naturalization, he chose some horses that could be seen to run to offer his courtesy.

"Nonsense, this official didn't send you to Mobei to cause trouble, why do you want to sacrifice horses?" Liang Tingdong scolded casually, but he was very comfortable in his heart, this kid still has made progress, and he knows that he has given gifts to the official, but he can't let him pass the test easily, "This official has always valued you, and he has always said good things for you in Beijing, and the courtiers have always stopped and persuaded you to impeach you, but what have you done, you have no court, you are arrogant, and you leave your post without permission, which is really disappointing to this official." ”

"Thank you, my lord, the last general will know that he was wrong." Li Yu immediately hung his head very sadly, he has been in contact with the Ming officialdom for so many years, he has already understood this set, Liang Tingdong has never said good things for him, let alone dissuade others from impeaching him, a waste official who lives at home will only meddle in his affairs when he is full, this is on the end of the shelf, and he must cooperate well.

"When will Dushikou be handed over to Xuanfu Town?" Liang Tingdong's next sentence frightened Li Yu, Fengzhou's Eastern Xingtai and Kaiping Health Administration have moved into Dushikou, and they never thought about returning it, Li Yu got up, Liang Tingdong kept staring at Li Yu's eyes, for fear that he would say something to pay it back, that place was a dead land for the Ming army, who would dare to take it? There is a fool who doesn't spend money to guard, and the military department will turn a blind eye, Liang Tingdong was very proud and frightened Li Yu, and waved his hand leniently and said, "Okay, Dushikou will continue to be guarded by Naturalization Town, and this official will speak for you." ”

Liang Tingdong rambled for a long time, and then took out a copy of the "Di Bao" for Li Yu to read, saying that it was the emperor's "Edict of Guilt" - the emperor admitted to the subjects of the world for the first time that he relied on non-people, and mishandled the rogue and Jianzhou to the emperor, so that the captives were rampant, and the ancestors intimidated the people, and the responsibility was really me, so he wanted to share the joys and sorrows with the civil and military soldiers, live in the Wuying Palace, reduce food and withdraw from music, and engage in Tsing Yi until the day of Kou Ping. "The Edict of Guilt" is very earnest, and the emperor's grief is fully visible, but Li Yu has no heart and lungs, shaking his head and saying that he doesn't understand, isn't he just admitting his mistake, as for such fanfare, he often admits his mistakes, and sometimes he has to be scolded, so he simply doesn't interfere with things he doesn't understand, whoever is an expert will do it.

"You're a bastard, can you compare to the emperor? It is a big thing for the emperor to admit his mistake, the lord is worried about the humiliation of his ministers, how can he be indifferent as a courtier," Liang Tingdong was really angry, pointing at Li Yu's nose and nagging again, "The Ming Dynasty is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and the suppression of thieves and imperial robbers is becoming more and more unfavorable, Premier Lu Xiangsheng suppressed thieves in the southeast, the Sichuan army mutiny in Fancheng due to lack of salary, and the Sichuan general soldier Deng Yu fell to his death in the city, Hong Chengchou, the governor of the northwest, and Cao Wenzhao, the general soldier of the aid suppression, died in an ambush in Ninghutou Town, by the way, you and Cao Wenzhao are friends, you should learn from him to serve the country generously." ”

Cao Wenzhao attacked me secretly, we are not friends for a long time, and I still expect me to learn from him to die, so I am not stupid - Li Yu was very disapproving, after Cao Wenzhao was dismissed, he sent Cao Bianjiao to secretly come to naturalize and send a letter to Li Yu to apologize, Li Yu replied briefly: You can accept an apology, but you will not be friends in the future. Cao Wenzhao was later reactivated, and the thieves were more fierce than before, but Li Yu always felt that it was a blind beating, if he was replaced to suppress the thieves, he would definitely pull a group of landlords and old fortunes as helpers, and those guys were more ruthless and good at dealing with thieves, much stronger than the official army.

"Li Hanmin, if you don't read and don't understand reason, the official doesn't blame you, just listen to the official in the future." Liang Tingdong said that he was tired, and waved his hand to Li Yu to tell him to get out, and Li Yu ran away like an amnesty - Liang Tingdong was really not as good as Yang Sichang, and said a lot of nonsense, only the last sentence was true.

Fengzhou this winter is different from the past, almost everyone is busy, next spring Duo Lunoer and Sanbula River to open two big cities, Khalkha business delegation to naturalize, this is a rare opportunity to make money, must be prepared in advance of the goods. The factories and workshops in Fengzhou have been stepping up production day and night, and they have to ask hundreds of nearby households to help recruit workers, and the farmers and herdsmen who have not worked in winter are also embarrassed to be idle at home, so they have gone out of their homes to work, and even women and children have taken the opportunity to find a job to earn some pocket money for their families.

At this time, the Toyosu Council put forward a plan to expand westward, requiring the opening of trade routes with Western Mongolia, and the Office of the Great Commander's Office decided to adjust the overall deployment of Toyozhou, abolishing the original Guanshan, Wuchuan, and Baoketu three guards, and replacing them with three guards. The two Xingtai have also been adjusted, the eastern Xingtai administrative office was moved to Dushikou, with jurisdiction over Xinghewei, Kaipingwei and Duolunuoer guarding the Qianhu Office, Liu Xingzuo was the commander, Buyantu was the assistant government affairs, Asari was the assistant military affairs, and the western Xingtai was moved to Baoketu, and the Dongsheng Right Guard and Dongsheng Left Guard were changed from the original Chahan Naoerwei and Dongshengwei to Dongsheng Right Guard, Dongsheng Left Guard, and Wuyuan Shouyu Thousand Households, Batu was appointed as the commander, Du Hongtai was the assistant government affairs, and Zhang Ding, the former cavalry left assistant commander, was promoted to the rank of governor and transferred to the assistant military affairs. The Consul's Office demanded that the Prime Minister's Office and government offices at all levels complete the migration as soon as possible, especially the Wuyuan Shouyu Thousand Households Office will be the starting point of the westward expansion, and the time is urgent, and this winter must not stop, and the ice bed of the Yellow River must be fully utilized to transport people and materials.

Li Yu walked out of Yanghekou and patrolled all the way to the west, often encountering teams of immigrants along the way, holding high the Black Eagle flag, driving carts, leading livestock, and walking on the road in the wind and snow. This generation of Toyoshu people has struggled from the death line, they are not afraid of any difficulties, they understand the truth that in order to survive they must work hard to expand their territory, and they should pay tribute to these Toyoshu citizens who sincerely serve the country, and Li Yu dismounts and salutes whenever he encounters such a team, and the people of Toyosu also cheer enthusiastically for their leader.

Three days later, they inspected the Yellow River, where the people were buzzing, the black eagle flag was fluttering everywhere, a team of carts, a sleigh on the solid ice, the immigrants sang songs to say goodbye to their families and set off-Wuyuan Shouyu Qianhu was inaccessible, the conditions were difficult, and there might be a vicious battle in the future, and many of them were strong and strong, many of them had been battalion soldiers, in order to rush to complete the westward march, the family could stay temporarily, but the men had to go to the front station in advance.

Ma Shiying, the governor of the Department of Justice, and Wang Dengdao, the secretary of Dongsheng's right guard, personally went to the river to direct the transfer of population and materials, and the two were very busy, constantly shouting and walking around in the crowd, a cold wind blew, Ma Shiying shivered a few times, and almost slipped in the snow, and the old king hurriedly supported him.

"Old Ma, you are a southerner, you can't stand the cold, you go back and let someone else come." Li Yu walked over and draped his big coat on him.

"Hermes-Epitek, to put it mildly, some of the officials in Fengzhou are even enough to count, I don't feel at ease if I don't count it myself, this immigration has moved our old capital in Fengzhou." Ma Shiying glanced at Li Yu and replied.

Li Yu smiled bitterly and didn't speak, this is the current situation of Fengzhou, but it is these rough people who have laid the foundation of Fengzhou, and it is a matter of the future to change, he looked at the ice bed for a while and asked: "The wind is too strong, have the villagers sent out their warm clothes?" ”

"It's all sent down, and the sheepskin jacket and wool coat in the warehouse are almost emptied, and Lao Zhao Sheng is very sad." Ma Shiying was amused when he thought of Zhao Sheng, the governor of the Treasury Envoy Division.

"Hermes-Epitek, don't worry, three groups of people have passed, they have brought enough food and clothing, and artillery and firecrackers have been distributed, and the news from He Jinlong is also normal, and there is no problem in dealing with the Tartars on the grassland." The eldest king also interjected - He Jinlong was reappointed from the deputy garrison of Dongsheng Zuowei to the Wuyuan Guard, and took people to Wuyuan in advance.

Li Yu nodded, walking along the riverbank, Ma Shiying suddenly said: "Hanmin, the cost of immigration is too high, and it may not solve the problem, in fact, in fact, it will be better for us to enter the customs." ”

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, Ma Shiying sighed and stopped talking, but the eldest king said disapprenously: "Hanmin, when will we stay up like this, it is a troubled time, and it is also a time for great promise, you have to plan for the future." ”

Li Yu sighed, diverted the topic and asked about other things, and was chatting energetically, when Jeddah suddenly ran over and said a few words in Li Yu's ear, Li Yu said goodbye to the two of them and set off for naturalization.

Naturalization, the Great Commander's Office received a letter sent by Fan Erxi from Liaodong, the letter came from the Jin State Literature Museum, the writing was much better than that of the Jin Khan, the letter said: In the past, the name of the Zhushen clan did not match the history and was false, so they wanted to change the name of the clan, and in the future, the Manchu, Han, Mongolian and other Eight Banners were integrated into one and called Manchuria, and Fengzhou also changed the name of them; At the same time, they condemned the weapons sold to them by Toyosu for cutting corners and poor performance, which led to them suffering a lot of losses in the Battle of Dushikou, and demanded that Toyosu must sell better weapons in the future, and the price must also be reduced, and they must not be too black-hearted; In the end, Jin Guokai made a list of purchases, including grain, cloth, weapons, and even 3,000 sets of woolen cloth military uniforms, which were worth more than 100,000 taels of silver, and demanded that they be delivered next summer.

The Commander's Office scoffed at this and casually transferred it to the Prime Minister's Office for processing, but the latest information of Jin Guo transferred by Fan Erxi with the letter attracted the attention of Gekuri - Fan Erxi reported that the banner owner of the Jin Guozheng Blue Banner Derge died violently on the second day of October, and the position of the flag owner is still vacant, and there seems to be instability within the Zhenglan Banner, and the Jin State transferred the Chahar people who belonged to him to Yizhou to live in Yizhou, and the women left by Chahar Khan also have a home. Tesna Birch was gotten into Hauge's hands, and Dahatun was originally going to be given to Dabel Daishan, but suddenly a nursing son appeared, and it was not said that it was Chahar Khan's seed, Daishan didn't want it, so Jin Guohan had to marry home too, and casually stuffed Princess Taisong, the sister of Chahar Khan, who was unwanted, to Daishan.

Yehe Gekuri is in charge of handling the affairs of the Jin State, although he has been away from Liaodong for almost 20 years, but with his understanding of Zhushen, he instinctively feels that something big will happen in the Jin State, and he will immediately report to the Great Commander - the state affairs of the Jin State are actually family affairs, Li Yu and Liu Xingzuo have been in close contact with the upper echelons of the Jin State, and they can judge the future direction of the Jin State according to the clues, which is the intelligence advantage of Fengzhou, compared to the intelligence of Fengzhou in front of the people of Jinguo, they don't understand what is going on.

After reading Fan Erxi's report, Li Yu's face immediately changed greatly, his hands couldn't help but start shaking, and Ge Kuli said in a low voice: "There is something that is difficult to say, and the commander must not know, but I heard from the people of the Zhenglan Banner who belonged to him, during the anniversary festival of Mang Gurtai, the officials of the Zhenglan Banner went to the grave of the old flag master to worship, and also went to visit the old Fujin, this is a demonstration, Jin Guohan was furious when he heard about it, and ordered the officials of the flag to spit on the face of the Zhenglan Banner Gushan Ezhen, and let Zhu Beile, Beizi's Fujin insulted the Fujin of Mang Gurtai together, which is a great shame for our old Zhushen, Derge may be able to suppress the anger of Zhenglanqi if he is alive, but now he is dead, and he is also dead, the contradiction between Jin Guohan and Zhenglanqi is irreconcilable, it depends on who starts first, and Jin Guo will definitely have a big incident. ”

Ortai nodded: "Jin Guo Khan is ambitious, and the piece of jade seal we threw to him has fueled his arrogance, and he changed his family name to Manchuria, just to monopolize the power and face the south and call the emperor, since ancient times, the emperor must be powerful, killing people is certain, hum, the more chaotic the Jin country, the better, we really can't ask for it." ”

"I'll add another fire, the Prime Minister's Office has discussed the list of goods in Jinguo, the weapons are still the same, love or not, I don't believe they can buy better things, the transaction between the two sides is settled in silver banknotes, if there is no silver money, take silver, don't want to use rotten ginseng, skins to fill the number, but in order to help them develop the habit of using silver money, we can lend them a little if the money is not enough." Li Jianji also came over and said-The silver of the group of soil buns in the Jin Kingdom is not deceived in vain, and the people of the Jin Kingdom have been hooked unconsciously, and he can't help but want to be happy, but this is not enough, "Great Commander, let them be poor, whether it is cannibalism or fighting Mingguo, anyway, it is none of our business, and we just took advantage of the chaos to choke their necks." ”

"You don't understand, if Zhu Shen doesn't do it, it's enough, and if he does, it will be a river of blood" Li Yu shook his head vigorously, and was silent for a while before he said, "Inform Fan Erxi as soon as possible, as well as Shengjing and Ulan Hada Titang, if there are fleeing Manchus who are willing to defect to Fengzhou, they will be taken in and protected." ”

Everyone looked at Li Yu with strange eyes, the commander really wanted to interfere in Jin's internal affairs! Li Fugui was the first to react: "The Great Commander is right, all the fleeing Manchurians will be taken in, especially the nobles and officials, and it will be of great use in the future to pull these people to our side." ”
