Chapter 436: Li Rumei's reaction
Regarding Li Rumei's reaction, Zhu Changluo was not surprised, Fei Yingdong was not an unknown character in the Jurchen clan, as the chief soldier of Liaodong, it would be a miracle if Li Rumei did not recognize him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
However, Xing Jue was confused, after all, he was a minister of the imperial court, and he didn't know much about the Jurchen tribe, so it would be good to know Nurhachi, but as for the generals under him, Xing Jue was a little confused.
This is also normal, after all, in the eyes of most Ming courtiers, the Jurchen is just a small tribe attached to the Ming Dynasty, and there is no need to bother to understand all its conditions.
However, although he didn't know Fei Yingdong's identity, Xing Jue's vision that he had trained in the military department for so many years was there, and he quickly remembered the force outside the Liaodong Pass, and a trace of coldness overflowed on his body, and he asked.
"Jurchen?"
"The eldest son of Suo Erguo, the leader of the Su Wan Tribe!"
Li Rumei said with a gloomy face.
He didn't expect that it was the Jurchens who assassinated Zhu Changluo, you know, their Li family has guarded Liaodong for generations, in order to prevent foreign rebellion, over the years, under the leadership of Nurhachi, although the Jurchens have become more and more powerful, but they have always been very respectful to the Ming Dynasty, if it weren't for Zhu Changluo calling Fei Yingdong's name, he couldn't believe this fact.
After a pause, Li Rumei suddenly got up and said with a fist at Zhu Changluo.
"Your Highness, rest assured, Fei Yingdong dares to do such a rebellious thing, and the minister will immediately raise troops to exterminate Su Wan's troops, and capture Suoerguo alive and send it to His Highness!"
This is not an impulsive statement, the Liaodong General Army existed to suppress the Jurchen tribe, and Li Rumei had the right to make her own decisions on the affairs of the Jurchen tribe, and this power included the transfer of troops to suppress the unscrupulous people.
Of course, the transfer of troops is not casual, there are 3,000 well-trained Liaodong iron cavalry in the General Military Office, which can be directly mobilized by Li Rumei!
If the number of people goes up, it needs to be jointly approved by the governor of Liaodong and reported to the Ministry of War for approval......
But in fact, not at all!
Li Chengliang relied on 3,000 Liaodong Iron Cavalry to kill the Jianzhou Jurchens, and there was never any situation where he needed to mobilize troops other than the Liaodong Iron Cavalry!
This is also the reason why Li Rumei is so confident.
He is the fifth son of Li Chengliang, who grew up with his father in the General Military Mansion since he was a child, and he knows the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry best, which is why he dares to issue a military order!
"Oh? Is Mr. Li so confident? ”
However, Li Rumei swore an oath, but Zhu Changluo frowned and asked with some suspicion.
"As far as this king knows, the Su Wan Department has now been attached to the Jianzhou Jurchen Nurhachi, and General Li is really sure that he can arrest Solguo?"
Zhu Changluo understands the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, and on the battlefield of Liaodong, it is indeed invincible, but that was the situation a few years ago, when the Jurchens were divided internally, contradictions were numerous, and tribes were numerous, so Li Chengliang could level a tribe like Su Wanbu in just a few days.
But now it is different, the Jianzhou Jurchen tribes are now all under the command of Nurhachi, and now if you want to set foot on the Su Wanbu and capture its leader, I'm afraid it's not so simple!
But to Zhu Changluo's surprise, Li Rumei was still full of confidence and said.
"Your Highness, rest assured, Nurhachi is very respectful to me, and the minister is willing to personally raise troops to ask for people, but he will not dare not give it!"
"Doesn't General Li know that Nurhachi refuses to make a decision?"
Seeing Li Rumei's posture, Zhu Changluo's heart became more and more suspicious, and he asked with a strange face.
"This ......"
Li Rumei's face was suddenly embarrassed, and she said after a while.
"Your Royal Highness, the minister already knows about the matter of Chengtianmen, but the minister thinks that it is really an exaggeration to say that the Jianzhou Jurchen intends to rebel, and Nurhachi is not in court, maybe there is another reason!"
"Oh? Why? ”
Zhu Changluo suddenly became interested and asked.
"Your Highness Mingjian, the minister is not defending Nurhachi, but there is another hidden truth in this!"
Seeing that Zhu Changluo's attitude had not changed, Li Rumei breathed a sigh of relief and said cautiously.
"At that time, the decree of the imperial court was sent by the minister to Jianzhou Jurchen, so the situation is the clearest, but the reason why Nurhachi said that he was sick was because he had already mobilized troops at that time and set out to attack the Haixi Jurchens, the army had been drawn for three days, and the grain, grass, soldiers and horses had been prepared, if he was to enter Beijing in accordance with the order, the army would inevitably die, and the Jianzhou Jurchens would also be greatly injured, so Nurhachi had to go up and call him sick, although this move was inappropriate, but please read the difficulties of His Royal Highness, and be a little considerate!"
"I see!"
Zhu Changluo nodded slightly, as if he had accepted Li Rumei's explanation, but before he could relax his mind, he heard Zhu Changluo's indifferent voice sound again.
"Then does General Li know about Nurhachi sending people to bribe my court officials?"
The cold sweat on Li Rumei's head came down at once.
How could he not know that this matter had already been rumored, Li Sancai, such a heavyweight boss, died outside the Chengtian Gate in public, wasn't it because he accepted hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the Fan family?
Of course, what Li Rumei was worried about was not this, but the meaning of Zhu Changluo's mouth.
Although Zhu Changluo didn't say it explicitly, he interceded for Nurhachi on the front foot, and Zhu Changluo mentioned Nurhachi's bribery of court officials on the back foot, and his intention was self-evident!
Swallowing her saliva, Li Rumei hugged her fists.
"Your Royal Highness Mingjian, the minister and his father have guarded Liaodong for generations, loyal to the court, and there are countless Jurchens who died in the hands of their father, and the ministers will never say good things for the Jurchens for no reason, but now my Ming army is stretched, and it is difficult to completely confront the Jianzhou Jurchens with the minister's Liaodong iron cavalry alone, not to mention that Nurhachi has been very respectful to my Ming Dynasty over the years, and has never crossed the slightest, so I implore His Highness to think twice!"
A look of understanding flashed in Zhu Changluo's eyes, and he said.
"Mr. Li doesn't have to be nervous, the loyalty of the Li family, the king knows it, and the court knows it, otherwise my father would not hand over the heavy responsibility of guarding Liaodong to Mr. Li, but this is going around and around, but it has returned to the original point, isn't it? Li Zongbing also said that it is now difficult for the Liaodong Iron Cavalry to completely confront the Jianzhou Jurchens under the command of Nurhachi, so how can Li Zongbing be sure that he can bring back Solguo from his men? You know, Solgoke was one of the first tribes to take refuge in Nurhachi, and let him go for nothing, isn't Nurhachi afraid of the cold heart of his subordinates? ”
Li Rumei, who said this, was stunned for a while, and didn't know how to answer......
