"In a word, this official is to encourage business! You can also see what this official is doing today, you, as well as all the businessmen of our Ming Dynasty, as long as you come to the north and south of the Songhua River to do business, the taxes that should be collected, the money that should be scooped, according to the rules, can not be less! But as long as you follow the rules, the official assures you that you will never be embarrassed and will not be levied indiscriminately! ”

Lian Zining stood up, looked at these businessmen, and solemnly said the above two sentences.

All the businessmen were slightly moved in their hearts, and they could feel that what Wu Yibo said was indeed heartfelt.

In his heart, he was guilty of thinking: "What Wu Yibo said is true, this northeast place, Haidongqing, water harrier, old mountain ginseng, Dadongzhu, animal skin and bird feathers, are all things that can be sold at a high price in the Guan, and this Northeast land, there is a lack of everything, and there is some money to transport goods from the Guannei here, and it is at least sixty percent of the net profit!" In this way, this is a very good deal. ”

———————— dividing line——————

The merchants came out of the general's mansion, and it was already three days of the sun at this time, and the warm autumn sun in the northeast was sprinkled down, shining on people, which was extremely comfortable.

At this time, the morning drill had ended, and there were constantly officers with helmets and armor, and general-like officers came in and out, coming to the mansion to report to Lian Zining.

Everyone got into the carriage, and Chen Tong was still in charge of sending them back.

The car was noisy, and the convoy turned a street corner and headed south, but no one looked back to see the delicate oil-walled incense car hidden at the corner of the street.

The slender jade hand lifted the bead curtain, and a pair of water-like eyes watched the convoy go away, passing over Chen Tong's slender and sturdy back, but it didn't stop.

The jade hand lowered the curtain, and her eyes disappeared behind the curtain.

The driver of the car, still the same bad old man in his sixties, hunched over, with wrinkled skin on his face like dried orange peels, has not been seen for a few days. It seems that the wrinkles are deeper, and the eyes are still cloudy, but today I changed into a new blue dress, and I think it was issued by the master's family. His hand holding the whip also looked weak. With a flick, the braid fell on the horse's buttocks. The neighing of Herod, the best horse, was a soothing step, like attending a dressage ball in the past, leisurely and elegantly walking in the direction of the Dong family's mansion.

"Hehe, Miss, why didn't you bump into Chen Baihu this time?"

In the carriage. The girl in black asked with a grin.

She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was still dressed in black as she first saw her, but this black could not hide her natural beauty, her complexion was extremely white, and under the background of black clothes, she looked like snow. Melon seed face. Big eyes, pointed chin, although the face is only powdered. But at a glance, people think of two words - 'goblin'.

The fairy-like girl had a playful look on her face, but the more mature woman sitting opposite her smiled slightly, lightly knocked on her little head, and said with a smile: "Chew your tongue and knock your head." ”

Bai Qiuyuan is wearing a dove-colored paddy field coat today, and the paddy field coat refers to the robe, which is another name for the robe. Because it is made of multiple rectangular pieces of cloth, it is like a boundary painting of a rice field, hence the name. It is also called Baigyi.

In the Ming Dynasty, paddy field clothing was a popular "fashion", which was made of various fragments of brocade and sewn together, similar to the robes worn by monks. It is named because the colors of the whole garment fabric are intertwined and shaped like a paddy field.

It is said that in the Tang Dynasty, there were people who used this method to make clothes, and Wang Wei's poems have a description of "tailoring and learning paddy fields". The production of paddy field clothing. In the beginning, more attention was paid to symmetry, and all kinds of brocade materials were cut into rectangles in advance, and then regularly arranged and sewn into garments. Later, it was no longer so rigid, and the brocade materials were of different sizes, uneven, and shapes. …,

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, extravagance and decadence prevailed, and many nobles and daughters often did not hesitate to cut a complete brocade in order to make a favorite and unique paddy field clothes, just for a small piece of clothing.

This kind of aesthetic art in that era is a kind of out-and-out transcendence, but a break with the traditional Chinese "harmony" model, there is a little bit of modernism, because of the small to see the big, you can also imagine how open the social atmosphere in the late Ming Dynasty was.

In this era, paddy field clothes were just emerging, and they were not so popular, and their nature was more similar to the beggar's clothes of later generations - and the girl who wore the beggar costume was naturally a bad girl. However, when this dress is worn on Bai Qiuyuan, it seems that she is mature with a bit of girlish liveliness.

was knocked by her, Qingsu became more honest, smiled hehe, and stopped talking.

Bai Qiuyuan looked at the bead curtain that kept trembling as the carriage trembled, and was slightly distracted.

It's been a while since I came to Zhenyuan Mansion, and this time has been quite good, quite comfortable.

As soon as he came, he was taken into the Commander's Mansion, Xia Zikai's wife had passed away, and he was still fighting in Baiying Gorge at this time, in fact, even if he was in Zhenyuan Mansion at the beginning, he lived in the military camp more and had less time to return home. As soon as Bai Qiuyuan came, he immediately became the most noble person in the mansion, and with her means, she was naturally cleaned up by the people in the mansion within two days.

Now the power of Xia Mansion is actually in the hands of this little sister-in-law who has no name.

Zhenyuan Mansion is such a big territory, and the news that the tenth Wei Xia Zikai commanded the envoy to take over the sister-in-law has already spread out, and most of the people who should know know about her arrival are aware of her arrival, and many of them have developed a deep interest in her.

For example, Chen Tong.

Not long after he came, the name of Bai Qiuyuan's beauty spread, and it immediately attracted the attention of many young and unmarried senior officers, and in just a few days, he had already become a popular figure in Zhenyuan Mansion.

In fact, this can also be understood, the suppression of the lack of civilians in the mansion means that in addition to Lian Zining and those maids in the major mansions, there are almost no women, and Wu Yijun is also flourishing, and most of the high-level officers are not very old, all of them can be regarded as young and promising, they were all busy fighting with Lian Zining in all directions, and now many of them are also thinking about their own lifelong events.

And like Bai Qiuyuan, he has a temperament. has a good look, and the background and background are also a matching woman, which is really too rare.

Wu Yijun's men and sons are all daring, and it didn't take long. Bai Qiuyuan has many followers around him.

Chen Tong is one of the most outstanding.

He is not very old, only a hundred households, but he serves in the dragoons of the pro-military battalion, he is a central guard, he has a great future, and his family background is even more extraordinary - he is the only son of Chen Dakang, the commander of the second guard. As the oldest commander at the time. Chen Dakang is undoubtedly one of the few powerful figures in Wu Yi's army.

But Bai Qiuyuan didn't care about these, her purpose in coming to the Northeast was very clear, that is, to use her identity to seek benefits for the Holy Sect, as for how much benefit it was, it depended on her own means. If you're lucky, your wrists are high. It can't be said that it can affect Wu Yijun's high-level and even Wu Yibo Lian Zining, and Bai Qiuyuan's requirements for himself are the second. It's also about pulling out a team for yourself!

This is not only for the Holy Sect, but also for her Ruijin Banner, because according to the rules handed down by the Holy Sect, whoever pulls in is his, even if it is shared by others, it can only be crossed out of the small head. …,

Bai Qiuyuan has been working hard in this direction.

But at least for now, it seems that there is no progress, and she is not in a hurry, what she needs now. It is to integrate into this huge collective first, and then you can slowly control it!

And in this case, it is strange that Bai Qiuyuan can have any thoughts about the love of children, the reason why she is quite polite to Chen Tong, what she values is just the help that Chen Dakang behind him may bring to her at some point.

She had just returned from the Fifth Guard Commanding Du Binglin's Mansion.

The day before yesterday, when Bai Qiuyuan took a few entourages to the countryside to collect rent. I happened to run into Du Binglin's wife's car, and it happened that the horse pulling the cart somehow went crazy, jumped up wildly, and almost didn't fall into an accident with Mrs. Du, but fortunately, the people brought by Bai Qiuyuan went up in time to help and killed the crazy horse, which was calmed.

Mrs. Du's carriage was no longer able to ride, so Bai Qiuyuan invited her to get into her carriage, and the two walked all the way, with Bai Qiuyuan's mouth and the city government that would please people, when she returned to Zhenyuan Mansion, Mrs. Du was already happy and said that she wanted to recognize her as her goddaughter.

Bai Qiuyuan naturally declined, but Mrs. Du liked her very much, and she would definitely invite her to come over the next day.

No, just came back.

Bai Qiuyuan could see that Mrs. Du regarded her as a daughter-in-law, this was not ripe, and after some time, she would have to propose marriage to her son Du Xinwu for her.

Bai Qiuyuan naturally would not agree. In fact, there was a problem with Mrs. Du's car that day, it was her hands and feet, otherwise there would have been no accident sooner or later, why did something happen at that time? And was saved by her so coincidentally?

And Bai Qiuyuan's painstaking efforts are nothing more than to find an opportunity to integrate into the Wu Yi Army and gradually get in touch with the top level of the Wu Yi Army.

A father and son, and the Du family, which is two commanders, has entered her sight.

Now it seems that everything is going well.

The corners of Bai Qiuyuan's mouth showed a slight smile, she delicately pinched the end of a string of bead curtains, and with a slight squeeze of her snow-white slender hand, the pearl the size of a soybean was shattered into countless powders.

The beads on it fell slightly, and then filled in again, and she stretched out the window with her bare hands, and with a slight lift, the powder dissipated in the wind, and there was no trace of it.

When Bai Qiuyuan was slightly proud in his heart, Lian Zining's study fell into an unspeakable silence.

Lian Zining sat behind his desk, on which was a crumpled piece of paper with handwriting all over it.

Opposite him, Li Tie stood firmly in place, his face like water.

Just after the meeting for the businessmen and the rules were set, Lian Zining received a letter before he could take a sip of tea.

The letter was personally sent by Li Tie, counselor of MI6, and from this point, we can see how important these letters are.

This is a letter from the White Eagle Gorge.

Since the establishment of the pigeon station, Lian Zining has regarded the pigeon station as an important and secret department, and attaches great importance to it, and in order to protect this important intelligence line, Lian Zining has set up the pigeon station in the MI6 Yamen! There is really no safer place than there, and Li Tie is also very attentive, sending a small flag of troops to guard and take care of it. As soon as there is news, it will be presented immediately.

The letter was jointly written by Yang Husheng and Xia Zikai, and what was described in the letter was the scene of the Battle of Baiying Gorge that day.

The Battle of White Eagle Gorge on the same day. At night, Guta Yinde led people to hang down with ropes from the White Eagle Peak, and attacked the camp of the Wuyi Army at night, creating chaos. At the same time, Nalan Jiancheng attacked outside the city, filling a large number of troops at the expense of losses, trying to make peace and scoop down the camp of the Wuyi Army in one fell swoop. Take back the White Eagle Gorge Danger! …,

But I didn't expect that Wu Yijun was one of the many people, and the other was that under the distance of the knighthood system, those Jurchen slave soldiers fought bravely, and the advantage of the sea of people and the tactics of not wanting to die, although the skills were not as good as the people, and the weapons were not as good as the people, but they actually resisted the attack of the Jianzhou Jurchen army to the death. Later, seeing the heavy casualties, Nalan Jiancheng was already thinking of retreating. And at this time, Guta Yinde also fled to the left of Ximen with those rebellious Jurchen slave soldiers!

Xia Zikai was attacked by the enemy because of his mistakes, and his subordinates who had been abducted for so many years, and he was already extremely angry in his heart. is already planning to send people to defend the West Gate, outside, and the Jianzhou Jurchens, inside, intercept these slave soldiers, kill them and annihilate the whole army!

But at this time, Yang Husheng sent him an urgent order, ordering him to open the west door and let these people go!

Xia Zikai was naturally extremely puzzled and angry, but he was such an extremely cautious person. He didn't dare to offend Yang Husheng, and after Yang Husheng sent three waves of messengers, he had to follow the order to open the west gate and let Guta Yinde and others out.

Guta Yinde was naturally ecstatic, but not because he was going to escape. It's because I didn't expect that when death came, such a big pie would fall from the sky, not only to die, but also to make a great feat!

He immediately ordered his subordinates to guard the city gate, and then went out to persuade Nalan Jiancheng to take advantage of the situation to attack the city gate!

Nalan Jiancheng was also a decisive person, and immediately ordered the whole army to go out and attack the West Gate!

Amen is wishful thinking, but Yang Husheng is not stupid, since he dares to make such a risky decision, of course he has a plan. The elite cavalry of the 4,500 Fourth Guard frantically covered from behind, killing those Jurchen slave soldiers who cried and shouted for their mothers, and the wolves rushed to the city gate. Not only did it break down the defense line arranged there by Guta Yinde, but it also directly blocked the advance route of the Jianzhou Jurchen army, blocking them to the death, and they couldn't move!

On the contrary, the Jianzhou Jurchens were blocked by a huge amount and could not move, and were shot by the cavalry of the Fourth Guard with flintlock pistols from afar.

The killing was all fun, and the fourth guard was withdrawn again, and as soon as the gate was closed, Nalan Jiancheng and the others were left outside the city again.

Nalan Jiancheng saw it, and knew that there would be no good fruit to eat if he continued to fight, so he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

This war ended forever.

In the letter, Yang Husheng and Xia Zikai wrote this battle very clearly, how things started, how they ended, the whole process, and the completion of the book. Including their own mistakes, the decisions they made, their own losses, the enemy's losses, and even the enemy's strength, combat effectiveness, etc., are all very detailed. At the end, at the end, he also attached an excerpt asking for guilt, saying that because of his negligence, he directly led to a lot of deaths in battle, and asked for punishment.

"Have you seen it?" Lian Zining asked Li Tie.

Li Tie shook his head: "My subordinates have not." ”

"Scoop it up and have a look!" Lian Zining stretched out his hand and pointed: "I know that you have always been wise, although you don't lead troops to fight, you should also be able to see this." ”

Li Tie responded, took two steps forward, scooped the letter over and read it carefully.

After looking at it for a while, he put it back and stood two steps back.

Lian Zining scooped up the crumpled piece of paper again, looked at it carefully, and let out a long sigh: "Unexpectedly, the movements of the Jurchen Khan Court are still not slow, a little faster than I expected, hum, Yang Husheng said in the letter that the Jianzhou Jurchen army alone has thousands of cavalry, plus all kinds of armored foot soldiers, at least 30,000, and Tiefu?" p>

The hole kicks the stupid bush and quietly cuts the chimney. p>

Li Tie nodded silently, but did not answer.

What the adult said is not wrong at all, the Jurchen Khan court has a total of so many troops, more here, less there, if the Russians do a good job in the north and attract more troops in the north room, then there will not be so many troops in the White Eagle Gorge here.

He paused before saying, "A while ago, didn't all the Russian messengers asking for help arrive at the White Eagle Gorge?" Presumably, they are indeed a little weak. ”

"Russians, they shouldn't have been so bad." Lian Zining shook his head, in his impression, the Russians are a nation that can fight well, especially its Cossack cavalry, in the era of cold weapons and even until the twenties and thirties of the twentieth century, it is a very strong force, and according to his understanding, this time the Russian army is quite numerous, at least the scale of hundreds of thousands, which can be said to be far more than the Jianzhou Jurchen can scoop out the manpower in the north, but it is still unable to make a breakthrough - you know, the scene described by Zakhrev for Lian Zining at the beginning, It was they who drove straight into the Jurchen Khan's court.
