Chapter 67: Gong Wei Si spends money like water
"My father-in-law didn't come to Liaoyang to see the eight views of Liaoyang?"
The eight views of Liaoyang in the Ming Dynasty were originally eight poems composed by Han Chengxun in Jiajing, with the beautiful scenery of Liaoyang, which are Wangjing Jielou, Guangyou Xiongtu, Taishui Ring Belt, Thousand Mountains Screen Column, Xiangyan Buddha Dream, Shoushan Qiao Singing, Shoufeng Spring Waterfall, Tuodong Hanging Beads.

Because the war has not yet involved this place, the eight scenes still exist, but now Liaoyang is like a military city, few people have this Yaxing, Gao Shiming is burdened, and the same, "You kid don't play sloppy with our family, tell the truth." ”
Shen Yin saw that he failed to change the topic, so he put away his playful demeanor and said with insufficient confidence, "The language barrier, and the fact that Jiannu has just moved into Salhu, the place where the two are detained has not yet been discovered, so there is no progress at present. ”
Shen Yin's language incomprehension is not only true, but there are also reservations, after all, Gong Weisi is not controlled by anyone, only obeys the emperor's orders, and the information obtained only needs to inform Xiong Tingbi. What he kept was that Gong Wei Si had learned that in March this year, 'Da Hai', who was the most proficient in Chinese, had been imprisoned for communicating with the maid 'Naza' [female gan] of Nurhachi's little wife 'Tayincha', and had not yet been released. Because of the importance of the matter, Shen Yin did not dare to talk about it.
Rescuing Zaisai can destroy the alliance between Jiannu and the Inner Khalkha, and can also help Lin Dan Khan establish his prestige and let him act as a barrier, although this move is suspected of raising tigers, but it is really the best way to do it now. As for the general Jiang Hongli, Shen Yin did not receive the will of the Son of Heaven, presumably it was Gao Shiming's personal opinion.
Gao Shiming thought that Shen Yin was shirking, and he was dissatisfied, "Gong Weisi spent 20,000 taels in less than two months, but you said that there was no progress?" ”
"The father-in-law is angry."
Gao Shiming saw that Shen Yin didn't explain, so he got up and paced, feeling that the person in front of him was extremely strange, but it was not easy to attack, and sighed, "Although the emperor doesn't let our family ask where the silver is used, I have to remind you: We are different from foreign ministers, no matter how capable we are, our roots are always in the Forbidden City." ”
"The small ones have today, and they are all cultivated by the Long Live Lord, and they dare not forget their roots." Shen Yin did not fill his pockets, so he kept a low profile.
Gao Shiming's face was expressionless, and he continued to explain the purpose of today's visit, "The 20,000 taels you asked for will arrive in two days, do you know?" These silver were saved by the emperor's food and clothing, and they were only 1,000 taels per person when they rewarded King Gui before, so you have to take it easy. ”
Shen Yin nodded cautiously, because of the huge cost of spying on military and political intelligence, he had to beg for silver, although there was no hope of rescuing Zai Sai, but it was not without gain, after thinking for a while, he bowed to Gao Shiming, "In a few days it will be the Emperor's Halloween Day, we have nothing to honor, only the letter of Jiannu that came from North Korea a few days ago, and I hope that my father-in-law will forward it." ”
Gao Shiming waved his hand, and he didn't care about the so-called national letter he got by spending countless amounts of silver, "You can submit it yourself, our family has the responsibility of supervising the army, and we are temporarily stationed in the Qijin camp, and Liaodong will not return to Beijing if it is uneven." ”
Qi Jin is Qi Jiguang's nephew, in Wanli Korea to resist the Japanese, the first generals ascended the city of Goryeo, the first merit was promoted to the deputy general army, in the 30th year of Wanli to supplement the town to guard the south of the Yangtze River deputy general army.
Later, Qi Jin resigned due to illness and returned to his hometown of Dingyuan, after all 4,000 Qi soldiers of the Salhu War Liu Wei were sacrificed, he surrendered his identity to Zhending guerrilla aid to Liao, under the command of Tong Zhong, and there were 300 Qi family troops and more than 2,000 people who adopted the training method of Qi Jiguang when he was guarding Jimen, a total of 3,000 people.
Among the guest troops in Liaodong, in addition to Tuchuan Mao, the Qi family's army has strict military law and the most combat power. Qi Jiguang's training method is more suitable for mass production, unlike Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers (because they hold ash pole guns, steel spears with hooks, and small iron rings on the tail, hence the name) and Liu Guangzuo's Mao soldiers (spears and big arrows, wrapped around their feet, specializing in digging mountains for a living, killing people for a living, and being called Mao gourd soldiers) need to accumulate experience.
Shen Yin was polite, how could this opportunity to show his merit be given away, listening to Gao Shiming's refusal, he was at ease, so he talked about some gossip with him, and only sent Gao Shiming away when the snow stopped.
※※※
In the East Warm Pavilion of the Yangxin Palace, after lunch, Zhu Youxiao was intently reviewing the folds on the kang by the window, Wang Chengen was waiting carefully, and there was a person kneeling on the bright red carpet.
After a long time, Zhu Youxiao finished reading the one-foot-tall recital, and Wang Chengen beckoned to Ji Lun, who was waiting outside the door, and Ji Lun was lightly and personally sent the recital to the cabinet and military aircraft.
Zhu Youxiao screwed the cap of the pen, stretched his waist, and said to himself, "Do Zhou Jiamo and Li Ruhua have to go to the ministry today?" ”
Zhou Jiamo, the secretary of the ministry, participated in Xiong Tingbi in Liaodong because of the imperial history, and Li Ruhua, the secretary of the household department, participated in the dispatch of troops and the suspension of the Baoquan Bureau because of Zheng Zongzhou, the imperial history of Shandong Province.
"Master, the slave has known that the East Factory has been announced, and Zou Yi has not yet returned it."
In the case of the three legal divisions to interrogate the prison, the Beizhen Fu Division examines the repeat offenders, and sends the servants to listen to the details, which is called the transcription, and the visits to the official offices and city gates are called the sitting notes. What Wang Chengen said was that Dongchang was sent to the yamen in Beijing.
After the incident was detected, he first adhered to the factory office, handed it over to the confidants of the factory public, and then directly played the emperor. This is more convenient and confidential than Jinyiwei needs to go through the traffic department or the Huiji Gate.
Zhu Youxiao frowned, glanced at the person kneeling on the ground, and instructed Wang Chengen, "Let Wang Companion draft another edict to stay, and let the Tai Hospital send medical officers to visit." ”
"The slave obeys."
……
After Wang Chengen went, Zhu Youxiao got up and walked to the throne facing the door and sat down before saying to the person kneeling on the ground, "Chachen, calm down." ”
"Emperor Xie, it's good for the guilty minister to kneel."
Zhu Youxiao smiled, "Are you guilty?" Why don't I know? ”
"The minister asked himself to fulfill his duties in office, and he didn't know what he had done and was dismissed and summoned to Beijing, and he hoped that the emperor would make it clear."
Kneeling down was Yongping Dao (Beijing's Yongping Mansion, in the east of Shuntian Mansion, relying on the mountain customs) according to the envoy Yuan Yingtai, who knew that the previous cabinet had recommended him as the governor of Liaodong, but somehow, he was vetoed by the Son of Heaven, and let the Jiangxi Governor go to the imperial history Zhang Quan (that is, the person who commended Wu Huan VIII in Nancheng County in the same court).
Zhu Youxiao knew that he was emotional, so he was dissatisfied, and patiently explained, "It is not because of a crime that you were dismissed from your original position, I found out that you built a long causeway for more than 40 miles to prevent flooding in Linzhang, and then successively served as the director of the Ministry of Engineering, the military department of the military department, the Huaixu military senator, and the right senator of Henan, and the previous Yongping Dao envoy made great achievements......
Yuan Yingtai listened to the Son of Heaven as a treasure about his resume, and the more he listened, the more shocked he became, he raised his head, turned around and stared at the young Son of Heaven boldly, and forgot to speak.
When Zhu Youxiao saw him looking up, he stopped reciting his resume many times, and looked at this Donglin official who was engaged in a small group. Yuan Yingtai is in his fifties, with two curved eyebrows on his long face like paint, a fleshy forehead, wrinkled into a 'child' character, and a short and orderly beard. Because he was only dismissed and his grade was still there, he was kneeling in front of him in a dark green style military officer's round-necked regular clothes.
"I'm right?"
Yuan Yingtai came back to his senses, and his lips chattered for a long time before he spit out a word, "...... minister"
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and didn't go around in circles with him, "You must have heard of the dismissal of the weak soldiers in Liaodong. ”
"The minister reads the newspaper and knows a little bit about it."
"That's good, according to Xiong Tingbi's performance, there are nearly 50,000 weak soldiers who have been dismantled this time, including both the main soldiers of Liaodong and the guest soldiers who came to aid Liao. Let the veteran Chen Ce take the lead, and all of them can arrive in Dagu before Chinese New Year's Eve at the latest. Zhu Youxiao saw that his expression was as usual, and continued, "Since you can be slender and propose, you must be good at overall planning and water conservancy, so I want to let you supervise the army of the ministry and be responsible for building a port, are you willing to go?" ”
Yuan Yingtai only knew about the reduction of troops in Liaodong, and did not know that the port should be built with these people, and the significance behind it was extraordinary, and he couldn't turn a corner for a while.
