The birth of the emperor's heir, the whole world celebrates!

With the news of the birth of the emperor's concubine and the emperor's eldest son at the same time in the palace, the atmosphere in the capital that had been suppressed for a long time because of various things finally brought a hint of joy.

The people are very happy, because the prince was born, followed by an amnesty for the world, tax reduction, the criminals in the prison of the capital division, the less serious crimes are directly released, except for murder and other major crimes, all criminals are reduced by one degree, the son of heaven waved a pen, the land of the capital was exempted from three years of servitude, and other places have also received different degrees of tax reduction, the common people do not know what the continuation of the national ancestor, the royal heir, but they are sincerely happy for the emperor, and sincerely wish the emperor to have a few more children.

The officials are also very happy, the two princes were born at the same time, whether it is a great joy for the court or the royal family, since it is a great joy, the Son of Heaven will naturally not continue to criticize them, otherwise how can it be good if the big murderer rushes to the happy event? So the adults are happy because they can finally sleep peacefully.

The big guys in the court are also very happy, they are happy, because the emperor is really clear in the big things, although the palace happened what they were worried about, the son-in-law is not the eldest son, but fortunately, today is not like the first emperor because of the love of the concubine and love the house and Wu, on the day of the birth of the prince, the edict to establish the emperor's son-in-law as the crown prince, the storage position is certain, the bigwigs will be at ease.

Of course, there are also a lot of rumors in the court, for example, although the emperor set up the emperor's concubine as the prince, but he still loves the concubine very much, and even promised the concubine Niangniang, let the eldest son of the emperor and the prince study together in the future, and for example, the Empress Dowager of Renshou Palace loves the eldest son of the emperor for ten minutes, and it is regarded as a treasure in her hand at the beginning of her birth......

It is rumored that there is a nose and eyes, but the birth of a group of bigwigs is scoffing at this, no matter what, the Son of Heaven has set up the emperor's concubine as the crown prince, and the edicts have been sent to the cabinet, is it easier to reason?

A little rumor, it's just a breeze, it can't affect the overall situation, even if what is said is true, it's just a family affair of the Son of Heaven, can't the Son of Heaven have a preference in the harem?

I have to say that Zhu Changluo's decisive edict to establish the prince gave the bosses full confidence, in the history of the Ming Dynasty, there has always been an undercurrent when the prince has not been established, and once the prince is established, everything is over!

is still the same sentence, except for the time of Emperor Jingtai, the Ming Dynasty has never abolished the crown prince......

Suddenly, the birth of the two little dolls made the entire Jingshi look new, and even the beacon fire on the border could not stop the deep joy of the Jingshi.

Of course, the joy of the ocean only stops at the capital......

Liaoyang City, Liaodong General Military Office.

It should be said that since the first battle of Pingwu, the Ming army returned to Jianzhou to break the Jurchen and shoot Nurhachi, Liaoyang City has regained its original calm, with Liaodong General Li Rumei stationed in Liaoyang City, and the entire Liaoyang is solid.

But for some reason, these days, the people of Liaoyang City have clearly felt that the defense in the city is much stricter, and everyone who enters and leaves the city has been strictly checked, and there is a faint wartime atmosphere.

"Li Rumei, the chief soldier of Liaodong, has seen Lord Qincha!"

Since receiving the news that Datong Military Town was criminalized, Li Rumei has been keenly aware that war is coming, he had a friendship with Jinshang at the beginning, and knows that Jinshang's character is not a person who swallows his anger, Datong is so offended, a big war will be inevitable.

And although the main battlefield of this battle is in Datong, Liaodong and Chahar and Horqin are bordered, not to mention that Horqin is now attacking inside the Jurchens, if they take this opportunity to attack Liaodong, it is also something to worry about.

So although she didn't receive an order, Li Rumei had already ordered martial law inside and outside Liaoyang City, and she didn't dare to leave her body every day.

Sure enough, today, the Qincha was sent from Jingzhong, but to his surprise, this Qincha from the capital was so young......

"General Li, please get up, Yang Lian, a member of this official department and the young secretary of Honglu Temple, is ordered to come to Liaodong this time! This is the secret decree of today, please look at it generally! ”

Yang Lian was dressed in a five-grade green robe, and his face was kind, he came this time, it was a light car, and even this official robe was changed when he entered the city, and he didn't play any chauffeur at all, and beside him, there were only two people who looked like guards, with Li Ru's syphilistic eyes, it was natural to see at a glance that the two people around Yang Lian were all masters of the interior.

Especially the person who was a little older and had long and narrow eyes, there was a faint aura of danger, which made a veteran of a hundred battles like Li Rumei feel chills.

In fact, according to Zhu Changluo's idea, he at least wanted to give Yang Lian a position in charge of the imperial history, because in the past wars, there has been a practice of sending the imperial history to supervise military affairs, but helplessly, the old ministers of the cabinet are too stubborn, although they agreed to let Yang Lian envoy to Liaodong, but they were unwilling to give him an official position of imperial history, so in desperation, Zhu Changluo had to promote Yang Lian to the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple.

Honglu Temple Zhangsi Yi worships, foreign envoys pilgrimage, although the name is still not right, but it is finally a little bit of the name.

"If Mei is brave, please show the token!"

Stretching out her hand to take the secret decree in Yang Lian's hand, Li Rumei read it carefully, but saw that there was only one meaning above, everything was subject to Yang Lian's arrangement, and there was no delay.

Closing the will, Li Rumei asked cautiously.

He couldn't help but be careless, he did receive an official document before, saying that Jingzhong had sent a Qincha, but firstly, this Qincha Lord was too mysterious, and the one in front of him was too young, and secondly, the tone of this will was too absolute, so that Li Rumei had to have some doubts.

However, Yang Lian was very calm, this time the envoy, everything was in a state of secrecy, and he did not even announce it to the government and the opposition, the specific inside information was only limited to the scope of a group of bigwigs, it was normal for Li Rumei to have concerns, when the Son of Heaven summoned him into the palace, he had already thought of this.

"General Li is a soldier, the border pass military situation is like fire, so the official is eager to go out of Beijing, and he didn't have time to build the Qincha Pass defense, but when he left the palace, His Majesty gave this thing to prove the identity of the official!"

Yang Lian shook his sleeves and took out a palm-sized small brand from his sleeve, with a blue background of gold paint on the token, and the bright and dazzling words were very majestic.

"Your Majesty said that this is an old thing, presumably Mr. Li should still know it!"

Banner of the King's Destiny!

Of course Li Rumei recognizes this thing, holding this token, it can control the entire Liaodong, and more importantly, there are only two sets of royal flags in the entire world, one is in the capital and the other is in Yingtianfu, the two are slightly different, this one in Yang Lian's hand is obviously the one in Jingshi.

What's more, when Li Rumei heard Yang Lian's last words, she was already convinced of his identity.

Without him, this pair of royal flags is indeed an old thing, when he went to Liaodong in person and the governor Jurchen was in the overall situation, he held this pair of royal flags, and as far as Li Rumei knew, this flag was not given by the Ming edict at that time, but was held by the secret decree of the first emperor today, and it was not announced to the outside world until the end of the war.

In other words, the people who knew that Jinshang had held this royal flag in the Liaodong War could count it on their fingers, and even some ministers in the court may not know about it.

But Yang Lian was able to say in one sentence that this was an old thing, and there was only one possibility, this thing was handed over to him by His Majesty personally......

"Li Rumei, the chief soldier of Liaodong, respectfully invites Sheng'an!"

Stunned for a moment, Li Rumei pushed Jin Shan to her knees like a jade pillar, and said in a resolute voice.

"St. Ann!"

Seeing Li Rumei's appearance, Yang Lian smiled, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, to be honest, he didn't expect that he would trust him so much today.

Thinking of him Yang Lian, but he is a weak scholar, he can't resist and can't mention, he has neither the talent to help the world and the country, nor the courage to stabilize the country and the country, and even the way to the imperial examination, he is named Sun Shan, and he can be described as an ordinary person who can no longer be ordinary.

But Jinshang has always relied on him very much, from the palace to today's envoy to Liaodong, Yang Lian has walked step by step to a high place that even he dare not think.

Although Yang Lian consciously has nothing extraordinary, he also knows that the sage has clouds, and the king treats me as a countryman, and I should repay him as a countryman!

Now treat him as kind as a mountain, and the word "national scholar" can be included, so even if he Yang Lian fights for his life, he will have to make contributions to His Majesty's society!

Retracting his complicated thoughts, Yang Lian arched his hand in the direction of Jingshi, said solemnly, put away the token in his hand, carefully put it back into his sleeve, and then helped Li Rumei up.

"This time this official is an envoy to Liaodong, with a heavy responsibility, and the general is still needed to help, this official is here, please ask the general first!"

"Don't dare to accept the gift of Lord Qincha, Your Majesty's secret decree has words, so that Rumei will obey Lord Qincha's arrangement in everything, if your lord has orders, she will naturally do her best!"

Li Rumei settled down and hugged her fists.

Yang Lian nodded and said.

"In this case, the official is not too verbose, dare to ask the general, what is the situation in Liaodong now? When this official was in Beijing, he heard a military report from the Ministry of War, saying that Chu Ying, the son of Nurhachi, led his troops to escape from Jianzhou, and united with the Horqin Department to capture the Hada Department, and now he is marching towards the Huifa Department, is it true? ”

Li Rumei wanted to ask about the situation of Datong and the specific purpose of Yang Lian's mission, but Yang Lian kept silent, and he cautiously did not ask more, but nodded and said.

"This matter is true, as far as it is concerned, the Horqin Department has been planning for a long time, and when the army is launched, the momentum is like a bamboo, and the Hada Department has fallen without being prepared, and its leader Meng Gebulu has been captured, and he does not know whether he is alive or dead!"

"And what's going on now?"

Yang Lian's expression was solemn and he continued to ask.

However, Li Rumei's words made him breathe a sigh of relief.

"The battle is in a stalemate! My lord, in fact, from the general's point of view, this time the Horqin Department is really a little hasty, the four departments of Hulun have always been one, it is a very difficult bone to gnaw, but only one may not be strong, but the combination of the four departments is very strong, when the Jurchens of Jianzhou were strong, Nurhachi also made a lot of preparations, openly and secretly attracted many other tribes, with 30,000 male soldiers, before they dared to declare war on the Yehe Department, even so, it was still very difficult to fight, in the final analysis, it was because the four tribes of Hulun had always advanced and retreated together, This time, although Korqin raided the Hada Department and successfully captured Mengebulu, his brother Kangguru was able to escape and fled to the Huifa Department with part of his men, and the Huifa Department also reacted very quickly, quickly allied with the Ula Department and blocked the Horqin Department outside the city......"

Speaking of the situation in Liaodong, Li Rumei looked like she was in her chest, and talked about it.

"Also, since the last war, although Jianzhou is weak, but still the first of all the ministries, only the Yehe Department can compete with it, in the past few years, the two wars have continued, and this time Horqin raided the Hada Department, perhaps it is precisely to see this, but they probably did not expect that Chu Ying and others betrayed Jianzhou, and then took away part of the strength of Jianzhou, plus Murhaqi to pacify the civil strife, so that the vitality was greatly damaged, and he was temporarily unable to compete with Ye He, so that the Yehe Department also pulled out, and the reinforcements were Huifa, Under the combination of the three departments, there are almost 10,000 and 50,000 troops, and they defend the city, which makes the Horqin department even more miserable! ”

Yang Lian raised his eyebrows and said.

"So, can the Jurchen win?"

"Not necessarily!"

Li Rumei shook her head and frowned.

"Although the war situation is now deadlocked, but the four departments of Hulun, after all, there is one less, not to mention that the Yehe department has risen strongly over the years, and it has long had the intention of annexing the other departments, and it is not safe to use the three alliances, if Horqin can seize this point and make a big fuss, it may not be impossible to turn defeat into victory, not to mention that although Jianzhou is in decline, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, the three coalition forces seem to be strong and strong, but in fact, they dare not use all their strength, lest they be taken advantage of by the Jianzhou department, so it is really unpredictable to win the defeat!"

"That'...... The official took the liberty to ask, when does General Li plan to make a move? ”

Yang Lian's eyes flashed, and he asked.

You must know that the Jurchen is a subordinate tribe of the Ming Dynasty after all, and they surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and it doesn't matter if they fight with each other internally, the Ming can make a move or not, but the Horqin Department is a Tatar tribe, and violating the Hada Department is strictly provoking the Ming Dynasty, so the Ming must express its attitude.

What's more, Yang Lian can also see that this General Li Rumei has such a detailed grasp of the situation, obviously he doesn't just want to be a bystander.

"My lord is wise, in the final analysis, this battle is a battle between different races, so the general does not plan to intervene in this matter too early, but wants to wait for the opportunity, wait for the two sides to fight a few times, and then make a move, sneak attack the Horqin Department from the rear, and lay the victory in one fell swoop, so that it can not only raise the prestige of my Ming army, but also make the Jurchens grateful to my Ming, and can consume the strength of each department, which can be said to be counted in one fell swoop!"

Li Rumei did not shy away from saying it, and said straightforwardly.

In his opinion, this should be the best solution, which not only effectively consumes the strength of the Jurchen tribes, but also achieves the goal of solving the war.

However, what he didn't expect was that Yang Lian did not comment on his tactics, but instead stretched his brows and asked.

"In this way, what does General Li mean is that if I join the battle, I will have the power to turn things around?"
