"Hmm, Liu Sheng is exempt." Yao Zongwen is still a reserved and proud appearance, he was ordered to Liaodong more than three years ago to inspect the parade of soldiers and horses, and later recruited Liao people as an army with Liu Guojin, at that time to the household is to ask for 20,000 soldiers and horses, the result is only a few thousand homeless people arrived in Liaoyang, after several unwarranted battles, the soldiers and horses are claimed to be lost. Because of his relationship with Fang Congzhe, as well as the periphery of Donglin, no one dared to embarrass him, and the court officials all knew that Yao Zongwen and Liu Guojin and others were not easy to mess with, on the surface they were just ordinary imperial history or to give things, but they were deeply connected, just in terms of the name of the department, Yao Zongwen was a Jinshi in Wanli for thirty-five years, and now many of the court officials who are older than him are at the ministry level, and his protégé is old and the same year is originally a lot of strength, plus this person is good at managing contacts, and it is not the existence of ordinary people at all.

Donglin has now fallen, and Yao Zongwen has attached himself to the eunuch party and changed his court. Not only did he have nothing to do, but he also promoted the engineering department to the middle of the matter, and he gave the matter to work in the inner court, and after a few years, he could directly transfer to the Sipin Jingtang, and then he was released as a political envoy or soldier, and he went from the middle of the matter to the ministry, and it was ten years. Of course, it also depends on personal experience and connections, and of course, ability, Yao Zongwen's age is too old, it is estimated that he will be satisfied with the transfer to Jingqing, and it is unlikely that he will seek to be released again.

Even so, an existence like Yao Zongwen is also an existence that Liu Boqi needs to look up to, if it weren't for special matters, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to see Yao Zongwen at all, let alone the other party took the initiative to come to his courtyard.

"There is a Neiding guard sent by the chief soldier in front of the gate of Wansheng......," Liu Boqiao reminded hesitantly.

"Don't worry." Yao Zongwen showed a mocking smile on his face, and he said: "The old man has always shown that he cares about the movements of Liaodong, and most of the gentry who escaped from that side have met the old man, and he will not worry if he sees you once." ”

At this time, a man opened the package he was carrying, there were a few ingots of red gold, as well as a few antiques, a Xuande copper furnace, an ivory bone fan, and a pair of Dong Xiangguang's calligraphy, which can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver.

Liu Boqiao's breathing became heavy, but he didn't thank him, nor did he pick it up.

"Liu Sheng is very clever." Yao Zongwen nodded with satisfaction, then pointed to the things on the table, and said: "You tell me how you talked back to General Ma, make it clear, these things are yours, very miscellaneous, but no one will doubt that you brought them out when you fled." ”

"Yes!" Liu Boqiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and quickly explained what happened when he met Ma Shilong.

"Good, haha, good." Yao Zongwen could be sure that Ma Shilong would be fooled, he was in a very happy mood, stood up, and said to Liu Boqiao: "No matter which praise painting or Sun Gebu sees you in person, don't change your words, and insist that there are only old, weak, sick and disabled bannermen in Yaozhou, and there are not many soldiers, and this point must be insisted on." ”

"Yes, the waiter knows."

"Well, you're very clever." Yao Zongwen praised again, but this time it was with a sense of forest.

Liu Boqiao shivered, and hurriedly said: "In this matter, the waiter will always keep his mouth shut, even if he will not mention half a word to the children of his family, he will keep rotting in his stomach until he dies." ”

"Well, remember what you're saying now, and don't forget a word."

Yao Zongwen didn't delay after going out, and immediately said to his henchmen: "Qian Da, you immediately follow my instructions and hurry up to cross the river!" ”

"Yes, sir." Qian Da was responsible for Yao Zongwen, so he naturally agreed energetically, he had been ordered to go to the other side of the river many times, and he was familiar with this kind of thing.

The rest of the men looked at Qian Da with envious eyes, this kind of most confidential business, why didn't the master tell him to do it?

Yao Zongwen didn't care about the expressions of the minions, he was in a good mood, and he almost wanted to laugh.

This time, the layout is mainly the introduction of Liu Boqiao, after hearing that a student escaped from Liaozhong, Yao Zongwen felt that the opportunity had come, how could he give up such a good opportunity? The storm in the middle of the court is surging, and people keep writing books to come here, all of which are hints from above, hoping that Yao Zongwen can do something here in western Liaoning before he officially takes up the engineering department, and can help Gonggong Wei get rid of Sun Gebu's confidant...... Wei Zhongxian, who has always been arrogant, doesn't take any Donglin boss in his eyes, and after driving Ye Xianggao away, Han Yi and Zhu Guozhen are all local chickens and dogs, and they have been solved by Wei Zhongxian successively.

Now the first assistant is Gu Bingqian, nicknamed Gu Dafo, one of the backbone figures of the eunuch party, obedient to Wei Zhongxian's words, more than half of the six ministries have submitted to Wei Zhongxian, and the local governors are gradually changing, and they must be replaced with party members who are obedient to Wei Zhongxian, and the eunuch party is ready to spend three or five years to replace all the people from the center of the court to the locality, at least to ensure that within ten years, the Donglin Party will not be able to turn over.

Based on the inference of the health status of the Ming Emperor, the Apocalypse, which is only in his early twenties, should have an insurance life of about fifteen years, and the next is to live a year and earn a year, not any emperor can be as "long-lived" as Wanli or Jiajing, and he can't live forty, which is the norm of the Ming Emperor.

Fifteen years, enough to open five imperial examinations, must be to choose the northern scholars, by the way to suppress the southern scholars, even if there is no way to suppress the Jiangnan scholars because of various reasons such as fame, but when it comes to the palace examination, there is every opportunity to press them under the second grade, and call those boys to go to Yungui to be magistrates or palace officials, and the Jiangnan officials should not want to come out within twenty years!

Yao Zongwen also took this into account before resolutely abandoning Donglin and adding the eunuch party camp, not only that, but his relationship with the Zhejiang party was originally very close, after Fang Congzhe, many people in the Zhejiang party were either absorbed by Donglin or entered the eunuch party camp, in fact, if it were not for the Zhejiang party and Donglin led by Jiangnan nationality have a natural friendship with the township party, it is estimated that the Zhejiang party will be the same as the Qi party and the Chu party, most of them were absorbed by the eunuch party.

Since Donglin couldn't turn over and the Zhejiang Party was finished, Yao Zongwen's choice was without hesitation, and he was even quite proactive.

Liu Guojin, the old fox, did not choose a side this time, but asked to be released, serving as the deputy envoy of Denglai recruitment, and the household department issued 100,000 taels of silver, telling him to go to Denglai to recruit Liao people to be trained in exile and help refugees.

Lao Liu Tou has no political ambitions, he was originally born in the Li family in Liaodong, and he is already an outlier to be a court official, but his name is already well-connected, and no one will embarrass him when he makes money.

Yao Zongwen can't do it, he at least wants to be at the level of Jingqing, and it will be more beautiful to go home when he is old, his connections will be more consolidated, and the development of future generations will be quite smooth in the future, and a fairly stable family may appear in a few decades.

Some people will only care about themselves, Yao Zongwen is the kind of person who likes to think about his family.

Since you want to take the position, you have to have a decent credit, this time designed Sun Chengzong, and used the fugitive beings as an introduction to prompt the soldiers and horses of Liaozhen to take the initiative to fight, and this flavor medicine introduction became, and the bottom was to send someone to inform the Jurchens there, although the time may be very hasty, and it is not as good as mobilizing the soldiers, but it is estimated that as long as the Jurchens are prepared, the thousands of soldiers sent out are not enough to fill the stuffing.

As for the Liao soldiers who will suffer heavy casualties and countless families who have lost their relatives, it is not only ordinary soldiers who have died in battle, but also fathers, sons, brothers, and how sad and tragic the families who have lost their loved ones are, this is not something that Yao Zongwen considered.

That night, there were many people who did not sleep well, since the decision to send troops was of course to be expensive and fast, after getting Sun Chengzong's approval, Ma Shilong immediately announced the dispatch of troops, and at the same time ordered Lu Zhijia to be the commander-in-chief, and Li Chengxian to be the forward, leading four battalions of troops to attack Yaozhou.

This is also a big event in western Liaoning, it is estimated that it spread all over the Shanhaiguan area in the evening, and there are Tang horses who went out of the city overnight to the direction of Ningyuan, and it is estimated that they notified Zu Dashou and Man Gui and other senior generals.

By dawn, rumors had already come out, including the appointment of Lu Zhijia and Li Chengxian, as well as the candidates for the Chinese army and the supervising army, and the other was that the water battalion was led by Jin Guan, a guerrilla general from Jiangmen in western Liaoning, and ordered it to meet Ergou on the 12th and cross the Liuhe River on the 23rd, and the main force of the two battalions was dispatched within 10 days to move forward to the Sancha River.

The generals marched lightly, and after dawn, many people saw Lu Zhijia and Li Chengxian and others arrive at the mansion of the general army one after another, and some people saw Lu Zhijia kneeling to receive wine, Li Chengxian and others also knelt down to drink and act strongly, and then set off cannons to receive seals.

In the early afternoon, sure enough, a large group of knights in iron armor gathered one after another and began to set off for the Ningyuan area.

This was Liaozhen's first big move after the Battle of Guangning, and not only the officials and generals attached great importance to it, but also the ordinary gentry and ordinary people.

After the news spread, at least a few thousand people were near the official road looking at the appearance of the generals who had set off in advance and their inner ding.

Judging from the appearance of the army, the results are quite satisfactory.

Due to a few years of recuperation, but also the support of the Ming Dynasty's national strength, all the cavalry are wearing decent iron armor, even if it is cotton armor is also quite good quality new armor, iron leaves or copper nails are shining, all the cavalry's knives and guns are also shining, riding on a tall horse, wearing iron armor, holding knives and guns or three-eyed guns and other firearms, the whole team of hundreds of people has a very decent military appearance.

The momentum is pervasive and murderous!
