"Zhang Han, a real person."
Although He Yusheng has grown into a very terrible opponent in Huang Taiji's heart, he did not panic.
Huang Taiji also agrees very much, Houjin's more than 20,000 soldiers and more than 40,000 Ding are the source of his confidence, these 60,000 people have not lost so far, and the more soldiers fight, Houjin's strength will become stronger and stronger. Even the surrendered Han army was stronger than the ordinary Ming army, the Han army and the left and right wings of the Mongols, plus the Houjin soldiers, the remaining Ding more than 100,000 people, in terms of pure military strength, has passed any military town in the Ming Dynasty.
Huang Taiji did not think that the strength of He Yusheng would surpass the border towns of the Ming Dynasty, although Zhang Hansha had made military achievements in the Mongols, but the Mongols of this era ...... Four thousand Jurchens can run rampant in the steppe, invincible, Huang Taiji does not feel that there is anything to be proud of defeating the Mongols.
With this kind of confidence, even if he felt shocked in his heart, Huang Taiji was still able to praise Zhang Han calmly and generously.
"I still have to talk to my father Khan," Huang Taiji pondered for a while and said, "Leave him alone for the time being, and the next matter should be to solve Donggang Town and North Korea." ”
"It's not easy...... Mang Gurtai smiled bitterly when he heard this.
……
At the end of July, the weather is already quite cool in the morning and evening.
From the city of the Daimyo Mansion out of the north gate, to the north of the official road to walk up to about thirty miles is the first post station, this is a big station, the Daimyo Mansion in the North Zhili is also a very important mansion, Gongwei Jingshi, at the same time together with Henan and Shandong and other prefectures, in the Northern Song Dynasty is one of the four capitals, in the Ming Dynasty although not as important as the Song Dynasty, but also one of the famous mansions, especially from the Beijing Division, do not take the Cao Yun waterway, but go straight to Henan, through Henan and then to Huguang pedestrian business travel, most of them have to Zhending Mansion and the Daimyo Mansion south to Kaifeng, There are a lot of business travelers here, after all, from Huguang to Henan, Henan to Hebei, and then to Beijing, this route is also very prosperous, from Beijing to Huguang's Shashi, forming an extremely important inner 6 business road, Hebei is the center of Beijing, Henan is of course Kaifeng is the out-and-out center, Kaifeng is also a city with a population of one million, this inner 6 business road is to Huguang's Shashi and Xiangyang as the end, and then to the south or northwest, southwest, with another business circle and have another business core.
The post station is very large, covers an area of about 30 acres, there are more than 100 horses in the station, a post man from the seventh grade, and a number of officials and post keepers, the post station has to collect various expenses and miscellaneous fees every year, including salt and vegetable silver, horse beans and the cost of buying fees, etc., it will cost more than 3,000 silver, this number does not sound much at first glance, but think about the fact that there are dozens of post stations in Henan alone, how much does it cost a year? The national post station, which costs millions of taels a year, was originally only for the use of the imperial court messengers and officials on business, and the resources consumed in the early Ming Dynasty were limited, but the role was very large, but now the role is very small, and the cost is very amazing. During the Wanli period, Zhang Juzheng had a spicy hand to rectify the post pass, with great results, and the result was that Wanli counterattacked, Zhang Juzheng's policy was overturned in one fell swoop, and so on to the apocalypse and Chongzhen years, the post station cost was difficult to return, Chongzhen thought that things were simple, and his mind was burned and he simply dismissed a lot of post passes, and the result was already known to the world.
There are also a large number of hay bundles piled up outside the post station, these are the local apportionment of miscellaneous, not classified into the positive endowment, is miscellaneous apportionment, there are a lot of miscellaneous grains and beans in the warehouse, also miscellaneous apportionment, is regarded as one of the heavy burdens of the local people and small landlords.
Officials who went north and south, gentry who had a relationship with the military department or family members of officials, big businessmen with a doorway, and even some small officials with considerable strength, scholars and students who studied and traveled, and so on...... There are so many that you have to live in at least 100 people every day to finish.
Fortunately, the post station is big enough, the food and vegetables are enough, and those who can live in it have more or less some identity, and the post is not offended, according to the position of the official to arrange the residence, and you have to be careful to accompany the non-servant, and the family attaché of the official must also be carefully taken care of.
At this time today, the post station is dark and blind, and you can't see the usual lively scene at all...... An official wearing a seven-grade robe was jumping to scold his long-term entourage, and the big-eared bracket was slammed like money...... This lord's official Yinla post station is inside!
If the official loses his seal, not to mention that he will be impeached and punished, just now everyone is rushing out, of course this official can't take care of his big seal, the hateful thing is that the servant should die, and he can't even care about taking the seal, so he ran out with the master.
Yi Cheng cried with a sad face, urging his more than 30 post men to surround the post station, such a few people, but also sparse positions, a few people with bows and arrows in their hands, is the best equipment, the rest of the post station is mostly with a simple spear, that is, a broken spear head on the wooden stick, and some people hold iron forks, iron targets and other utensils, Tuo and Yusheng's blessing, these iron tools are made of high-quality wrought iron, the steel mouth is very good, the texture is very strong, speaking of which, It's sharper than those tattered spears and rusty waist knives.
"What's going on?" A young man with broad eyebrows, extraordinary spirit, and dressed in a high-lift costume, spoke with an accent from the Kaifeng side, asking the people around him for news.
"I heard that a thief forged a fire card, pretending to be an official and gentry and mixed in, and nothing should have happened in the first place, who knew that people would recognize it at once, this thief panicked, and robbed a child of an official at that time, only five or six years old, and entered the room with a neck, and the knife was on the neck of the child, saying that whoever dared to go in would kill people......"
A fat white businessman, talking about foaming at the mouth, it seems that this excitement has made him very interested.
It's no wonder that no matter how good the conditions of the post station are, can it be compared with the city? A big businessman with an identity and silver, and no official status, when he was in the city, he was a flower street and willow alley to linger, a lot of silver was spent, and beautiful women with different qualities and temperaments recommended pillows.
Such a thing is enough to feast the eyes of these boring passers-by, and it can also be used as a talking point for many days to come.
The questioner didn't say anything more, he turned his eyes to the family that was kidnapped to his son, that was a head of the Ministry of Rites who went to Beijing to work, the sixth official, and the Beijing official, the rank is not low, this son is standing still, this chief Ding Wei went home two and a half years ago, just returned to Beijing, and encountered such a thing when passing by, if the daughter was held by a thief, he had a wife and two concubines, and the first three were all daughters, the youngest is the son, and there are two daughters at the bottom, and there are a nest of women in the family, Of course, I love this son like a treasure, the child's mother is the second concubine, and she is usually very favored, this child can't cry, and the head of the Ministry of Rites has no heart to coax, and even just now she trained the woman with a blue face, if she wasn't careful, she ran out casually to see the excitement, how could such a thing happen?
The young man raised people, and he frowned greatly when he saw such a scene, but he couldn't think of a way for a while, so he could only go around the post station first and observe the situation inside.
The door of the post station is wide open, the lights are bright, everywhere is a mess, obviously people are in a hurry to run out, there is a room on the left hand side of the main hall is where the thief is, you can see through the silhouette, the thief is still holding a knife on the child's neck, once the slightest mistake, I am afraid it will lose the child's life.
If it weren't for the rat trap, a thief would really not have made such a big move, more than 30 post men, even with his bare hands, this thief would have taken it down.
"It's coming, it's coming."
The people around suddenly made another commotion, and then they heard the crisp sound of horses' hooves, and everyone said, "Da Yin has arrived." ”
Dayin is an honorific title for the prefect, and it takes more than an hour and a half to get to the prefect, and it is thirty miles from here to the Daimyo's mansion, which shows how anxious the people are.
Lu Xiangsheng, the prefect of the Daimyo Mansion, is a young man in his twenties, he is from a family in Yixing, Jiangnan, his father and ancestors are all from Jinshi, Lu Xiangsheng was born in such a family, and it is the place where Jiangnan literary style is at its peak. Either it is the Zuo Zao of Fuzhou, or it is the positive seal of a county, and it is not necessarily the positive seal of the upper county, although Lu Xiangsheng is not in an important position in Qingliu, such as Ren Yushi or in the middle of the matter, but he was the first director of the six ministries and outside the prefect, he is a young man in his twenties, and the recognition of his ability and family background by the imperial court is really indispensable.
What's even more surprising is that when he was less than 30 years old, he recruited more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the second year of Chongzhen because of the invasion of the Liukou to protect the territory and the people, called the Tianxiong Army, because of the brave and fierce battles, the military achievements were great, and he became the political councilor and the military preparation road before he was thirty-thirty, and at the age of thirty-six he became the governor of Shang Fangjian, among the governors of the Ming Dynasty, he was still outstanding, and he was famous for his high ability and fierce fighting, until the Qing soldiers entered the customs in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, and Chongzhen summoned Lu Xiangsheng to supervise the soldiers and horses of the king of the world. This famous governor died on the battlefield fighting the Qing soldiers, ending his legendary and glorious life.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Xiangsheng was the first person to be the first person to have outstanding ability and both civil and military skills.
I just didn't think about the taboo of the words "emperor" and "emperor" for five minutes.
