Chapter 775 The Hongmen Banquet with High Diving? [Ask for a monthly pass!] 】

（0775）

[Today's third shift is delivered]

"Wu Sangui?"

He ...... Not again? ”

Zhang Zhun's expression was also a little strange.

What is this Wu Sangui doing sneakily here? Could it be that because of his crossing, Wu Sangui's fate was changed, and he actually became a full-time errand runner? Gao Gonggong uses people like this, doesn't Wu Sangui feel depressed?

"Please."

Zhang Zhun said quietly.

"The lower official meets the Governor"

Soon, Wu Sangui appeared in front of Zhang Zhun.

This time, he was wearing a military attache uniform, burly, with his head held high, but he also looked energetic and talented. If you don't know the details, no matter how you look at it, you won't think he looks like a traitor. Okay, Wu Sangui at this time is indeed not a traitor, don't buckle your hat indiscriminately.

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "Mr. Wu, what kind of wind blew you here?" ”

Wu Sangui said respectfully: "The lower official is on the order of the high father-in-law, and he has come to ask the governor for instructions on some important matters. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said quietly, "Sit down and talk." ”

Wu Sangui put down his official uniform, sat down in a proper manner, and bowed his hand again in a proper manner, and then said solemnly: "Lord Governor, the lower official is under the order of the high father-in-law......

He came this time, and it was indeed a serious matter.

The most important thing is, of course, the general steps of Zhang Zhun and Gao Qiqian handing over and moving defense.

The movement of the army is very particular, and the two sides must coordinate well. Otherwise, there will be chaos. If you are not careful, if you are attacked by the enemy when the two armies are handed over, the consequences will be serious. In particular, this kind of large-scale adjustment and defense must be cautious.

Zhang Zhun and Gao Qiqian, as the top responsible persons of the two armies, must reach an agreement on some major procedures, and then the people below will be able to refine the specific steps according to the major agreement. Gao Qiqian wants to deal with Zhang Zhun and discuss the general procedures, and the best contact person is naturally Wu Sangui, which is the main reason why Wu Sangui appears again.

Zhang Zhun said quietly: "What does Grandpa Gao mean?" ”

Wu Sangui said cautiously: "Please also ask the Governor to send troops to Songshan Fort near Jinzhou first, and then stationed in Jinzhou, while our army will retreat to Tashan Fort first, and then withdraw into Guannei." ”

Zhang Zhun said lightly: "There is no problem. ”

The retreat of the 200,000-strong army in Liaodong was definitely not an easy matter. At the end of the month, in fact, it must be the vanguard that will be promoted. To complete all the pull-outs, it is impossible to do it in half a year. In other words, the handover will last at least half a year.

In the entire Liaodong front, the most important strategic location is actually Jinzhou. Jinzhou is directly bordered by the Tartars, and the Tiger Ben Army is on the front line, and the first thing to take over is of course Jinzhou. The Tiger Ben army occupied Songshan Fort, which was only a short distance from Jinzhou, and could enter Jinzhou at any time. As long as the Tiger Army successfully takes over Jinzhou, the next thing will be easy.

Huang Taiji has been newly defeated, and I believe that the other Tartars have no intention of coming to make trouble at this time. As for the Mongols in the north, they also have a lot of things within themselves, and it is impossible for them to go south to Jinzhou. In fact, if they learned that the Tiger Ben army was stationed in Jinzhou, the Mongols should have felt nervous, where would they have the courage to come and fight the Tiger Ben army?

Wu Sangui said that the Liaodong Army, with a total of 150,000 people, plus their relatives and dependents, is about 300,000 or 400,000 people, and it will take a long time for all of them to be withdrawn from Liaodong. Therefore, Gao Qiqian wanted to say hello to Zhang Zhun in advance, it was definitely not that he was dragging his feet and didn't want to retreat as soon as possible, but that there were too many people and too many materials, he really had no choice, and asked Zhang Zhun to be considerate.

Zhang Zhun said quietly: "I can understand, please rest assured." ”

Wu Sangui breathed a sigh of relief and continued to say that the biggest problem encountered by the retreat of the Liaodong Army was that some Liaodong officers and soldiers were unwilling to leave Liaodong. Their families, their fields, are all in Liaodong, if the imperial court withdraws, but Zhang Zhun comes, their fields and properties are divided by Zhang Zhun, then there will be nothing.

At the beginning, Yuan Chonghuan established a treasure of the Liaodong cavalry, which was to distribute the land to the cavalry. Because there are few people in Liaodong and more land, an ordinary cavalry can basically get twenty or thirty acres of land. In this way, as long as you are diligent, the whole family will not have to worry about food and clothing. In order to protect their fields, the Liaodong cavalry actively fought with the Tartars, which was also the main source of their combat effectiveness.

Wu Sangui didn't know what Zhang Zhun would do with these soldiers' fields. He was very worried that once Zhang Zhun wanted to implement the Juntian Order in Liaodong, these Liaodong cavalry would rise up to confront Zhang Zhun. If they don't have the strength to fight, they will rise up and rebel, and according to the internal strife in the city, it will be like Kong Youde at the beginning. At worst, they will also detain their bosses, just as they did when they detained Bi Zisu, the governor of Liaodong.

Of course, Gao Qiqian didn't want to see such a scene. This old eunuch is very afraid of death, and he doesn't want someone around him to get up and make trouble, and then bring trouble to himself. However, this point requires Zhang Zhun's cooperation.

Zhang Zhun said lightly: "According to the civil strife in the city, it is absolutely impossible. All the money, grain and materials in Liaodong rely on the input from outside, and without the import of money, grain and materials, what civil strife do they rely on? The Tartars are getting worse day by day, do they still want to take refuge in the Tartars? If they take refuge in the Tartars, they will be the enemies of all the Ming people, and everyone will be punished. ”

After a slight pause, Zhang Zhun said slowly: "You can tell them, just say that I said it, as long as it is their legally obtained property and is rewarded by military exploits, the Tiger Ben Army will keep it." However, the upper limit cannot exceed fifty acres. If it exceeds fifty acres, the Tiger Ben Army can give other properties instead. ”

According to the comprehensive intelligence of all quarters, the land of ordinary soldiers of the Liaodong Army Corps is generally about 20 or 30 mu, and the officers at the grassroots level will certainly not exceed 50 mu. More than fifty acres are all middle and high-level officers. For this part of the people, Zhang Zhuncai will not worry. As long as the soldiers at the lowest level remain stable, nothing else needs to be worried.

In fact, Zhang Zhun could vaguely feel that Gao Qiqian and Wu Sangui were really worried that the Tiger Army would take the opportunity to dig up some of the officers and soldiers of the Liaodong Cavalry to the side of the Tiger Army. After all, from now on, the land of Liaodong belongs to the Tiger Ben Army. The imperial court can hand over this land to Zhang Zhun to take care of, but it is absolutely impossible for Zhang Zhun to reverse it and return the land to the imperial court in the future.

In other words, this edict of Emperor Chongzhen is equivalent to completely ceding the entire Liaodong to Zhang Zhun, allowing Zhang Zhun to establish a real independent kingdom here. No matter how Zhang Zhun tosses in Liaodong, he has nothing to do with the imperial court. In Shandong, the imperial court can occasionally make up your mind and think about it psychologically, but in Liaodong, you don't have to think about it.

Wu Sangui said hesitantly: "Our army still has some materials to deal with......

Zhang Zhun saw that Wu Sangui's face was quite nervous, and he knew that the drama was coming, so he asked solemnly, "What materials?" Public or private? ”

Wu Sangui said slowly: "Private ......"

Zhang Zhun couldn't help frowning.

It is also a private property with high potential

I don't know how much private property Gao Qiqian and others have purchased in Liaodong over the years. More than the financial revenue of the Ming Empire has been turned into military spending. Among the military spending, at least more than 60% was put into the Liaodong Army. It can be said that the imperial court had almost ordinary financial revenues, which were all snatched away by the Liaodong Army. These moths at the top of the Liaodong Army can't be underdeveloped.

This time, the army will be moved, and all the private property of Gao Qiqian will definitely be moved from Liaodong. I don't know how many carriages will it take for the private property of this eunuch leader to be transported away? Thinking of the silver taels of white flowers, Zhang Zhun couldn't help but wonder if there was any way to let the Lord of the Liaodong Prison Army leave all his family property in Liaodong and hand it over to the Tiger Benjun at his disposal.

There are some private properties that cannot be taken away, such as fields. He didn't have much of a field outside Jinzhou Pass. However, within Shanhaiguan, a considerable amount of the fields within the jurisdiction of Yongping Prefecture belong to Gao Qiqian private individuals. In fact, the fields under the jurisdiction of Yongping Mansion have long been occupied by the top leaders of the Liaodong Army, and the military households living there are all tenants of high-ranking officers.

Since the edict wants Zhang Zhun to guard Liaodong, then Yongping Mansion is naturally under Zhang Zhun's jurisdiction. All the fields here, of course, must be handed over to Zhang Zhun to dispose of. They were worried that if Zhang Zhun's Juntian order was killed, those military households would immediately follow Zhang Zhun to rebel. Who wouldn't want to own their own land?

The area under the jurisdiction of the Liaodong Army is relatively special, the main force is recruited soldiers, and the number of military households is also quite large. In the entire Liaodong jurisdiction, there are a total of 26 guards, more than 100 thousand households, and when the military households were the largest, there used to be more than 100,000. Including Yu Ding and his family members, it is definitely more than 500,000 people. These military households are the main source of the Han people in Liaodong.

After the Tartars occupied Shenyang, Liaoyang, and Guangning one after another, most of these military households, except for those taken away by the Tartars, were concentrated in Yongping Mansion, concentrated in Funingwei, Shanhaiwei, Kaiping Tunwei, Ningyuanwei, Guangningwei, Yizhouwei and other places. Among them, the largest number is Quang Ninh Wei.

Zhang Zhun said lightly: "This is impossible, the Juntian order must be implemented." ”

Wu Sangui's last glimmer of hope was shattered, and he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. In fact, most of Wu Sangui's land is also in Liaodong. Now, the imperial court wants them to withdraw from Liaodong, and they really don't want to. However, the edict had already been issued, and they did not want to do it. Unless, it is they who rise up and rebel.

Rebellion in Jinzhou is not a good idea. If it had been before, he would have said that he could be shameless, take refuge in the Tartars, and rely on the power of the Tartars to survive. Now, there is no Tatar to take refuge. Seeing that the Tartars were beaten by the Tiger Army, and at this time they went to take refuge in the Tartars, isn't that looking for their own death? Defection to the Mongols was equally unreliable. The strength of the Mongols is inferior to that of the Tartars.

The only possibility is to take refuge in the Tiger Army. However, this decision is too difficult to make. Gao Qiqian knew very well that Zhang Zhun would not want a eunuch like him, once he left Emperor Chongzhen, he would be nothing. For this reason, he must be obedient to Emperor Chongzhen, Chongzhen told him to retreat, even if he had thousands of grievances, he had to retreat obediently.

For Wu Sangui and others, what they are afraid of is the influence of Juntian Ling. The land that these officials have accumulated is quite a lot. It seems that Wu Sangui's name has at least three or four thousand acres of land. He was unwilling to give it to others. Until the last step, he was unwilling to take refuge in Zhang Zhun.

Wu Sangui was silent for a moment, not daring to ask Zhang Zhun to change the regulations of the Juntian Order, so he had to change the subject and said: "The business of Father-in-law Gao and the adults ......"

Zhang Zhun said without thinking: "Go on."

In the previous business with Gao Qiqian, the profits were really good. After the siege of Jingshi, prices skyrocketed, and miscellaneous grains such as sweet potatoes and corn were also quite welcome. Iron Harrier and others, in Shandong at a fairly low price, a large number of sweet potatoes, corn, and then sold to Gao Qiqian, from which to earn the difference, in a short period of time, there are actually more than 100,000 taels of silver tension, the Iron Harrier is frightened. He had never seen so much silver in his ten lifetimes

With such a huge profit, Zhang Zhun is of course unwilling to give up, even if it is high and subtly moved, the business of the two sides must continue to be maintained. I believe that the same is true on the high diving side. This Lord of the Prison Army, his ability to make money is indeed breathtaking.

Wu Sangui wanted to speak and stopped.

Zhang Zhun asked casually, "What?" Any hard questions? ”

Wu Sangui said slowly: "Do you want to establish some relations with the Mongols?" ”

Zhang Zhun's eyes lit up slightly.

This Wu Sangui is really interesting. He knew that he needed the Mongols' war horses, so he took the initiative to have a good relationship with him. Zhang Zhun is unabashed about this issue. In fact, Zhang Zhun not only needed the Mongols' war horses, but even wanted to organize mercenaries directly from the Mongols. The Han people's horseback riding kung fu requires too much time to train, and the cost is very high. On the other hand, if you hire Mongols, the cost is much lower.

After defeating the Tartars, Zhang Zhun's next goal was to march into Guanzhong. It is definitely not possible to march into Guanzhong, or even to march into the Western Regions, without a large number of cavalry. In fact, it is better to enter the Western Regions, but it will be even more difficult to enter Central Asia and other places. Without the assistance of the nomads who lived on horseback all year round, it would have been impossible for the Han cavalry to occupy this place. At that time, the Tang Dynasty also used the Turkish, Qarlu and other ethnic groups to expand its territory to Central Asia.

Zhang Zhun estimated that once he wanted to march to the Western Regions, without more than 100,000 cavalry, it would have no effect at all. And if according to the expansion rate of the Tiger Army's own cavalry, it will not take ten years to expand the number of cavalry to more than 100,000 people. But if you hire some people, it's much easier.

The problem is that this mercenary is not easily organized. Giving the Tiger Gun to the Mongols had to be effectively controlled. The ancients said well, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different, and these mercenaries must be trustworthy people. Well, to be precise, it is the person who binds the interests, and the person who can be effectively controlled by the Tiger Army.

Of course, it is not easy to find such people in the Mongolian tribes. Their number can't be too much, too much, the Tiger Ben Army is not easy to control, and if you eat it, you will be in trouble. However, their numbers should not be too small, too small to provide enough troops. They must also have a relatively good record, at the very least, they have not killed the Han people, have not invaded the land of the Ming Dynasty, and will not arouse the disgust of the people of the Ming Kingdom, otherwise, Zhang Zhun would not dare to hire them.

Obviously, it will take a long time to obtain the details of these Mongol tribes, and perhaps a lot of money. However, if someone is familiar with the situation inside the Mongolian tribe and gives Zhang Zhun an accurate reference, it may save a lot of time and a lot of costs.

Zhang Zhun said casually: "Yes." ”

Wu Sangui was silent for a moment before he said euphemistically: "If Lord Governor can trust the lower officials, the lower officials are willing to introduce them to Lord Governor." ”

If you don't say that Wu Sangui is cunning, the level of this speech is indeed first-class. He refused to directly say which Mongolian tribe it was, only said that he was willing to introduce it, obviously, this guy was ready to sell this news to Zhang Zhun for value.

Zhang Zhun nodded and said unabashedly: "Okay." ”

He did need to establish relations with the Mongols, and there was no need to hide it at this time. As for the price that Wu Sangui needs, Zhang Zhun also doesn't take it to heart. At this time, he believed that Wu Sangui would not open his mouth widely. Because doing that, for Wu Sangui, there is not the slightest benefit. Perhaps Wu Sangui was indeed reluctant to join the Tiger Army, but he was even more reluctant to anger the Tiger Army.

Sure enough, Wu Sangui whispered: "Xiaguan has a cousin who does some business in Jiangnan, and recently heard that Shandong's business is very good, so he went to Shandong, and asked the adults to take care of him." His name is Wu Haide. ”

This is Wu Sangui's condition. It's not very high, but I just asked Zhang Zhun to take care of his cousin, and he didn't have much demand for care. Wu Sangui's hometown, Gaoyou, in the south of Yangzhou, is very close to Yangzhou. With the power and financial resources of the Wu family, there is no problem at all if you want to get some light and make some money in Yangzhou.

However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this so-called cousin is most likely a servant of Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui, and the money they make in business is the money of Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui put his money on Zhang Zhun's territory, and the meaning of this is needless to say.

Zhang Zhun smiled slightly, and said slowly: "As the governor of the Tiger Ben Army, I welcome the arrival of Wu Haide. If there is any difficulty, you can ask him to come to me directly. ”

Wu Sangui understood that Zhang Zhun had begun to accept himself, and hurriedly said: "Xiaguan has been stationed in Shanhaiguan for a long time, and often interacts with some Mongolian traders, and accidentally learned that in the north of the Horqin Plain, there is also a Hulunbuir grassland. In this steppe, there lived a Mongol tribe called Otyr, whose population and horses were not under the Horqin tribe. Their leader is called Hyrule. ”

He took out a note from his arms, handed it to Zhang Zhun with both hands, and then said respectfully: "This is the address of their trading house in Shanhaiguan." If an adult is interested, you may want to talk to them in person. Because their relationship with the Tatars was not very good, Korqin and the Tatars cut off their business contacts with the Han people, and Hailar was also very distressed. ”

Zhang Zhun took the note, glanced at it casually, nodded, and said, "Thank you"

Wu Sangui put his mind at ease at this time, and said while the iron was hot: "Lord Supervisor wants to invite Lord Governor to a banquet and discuss the issue of moving the defense in person, I don't know when Lord Governor will be free?" ”

Zhang Zhun said lightly: "I am free at any time." ”

Wu Sangui hurriedly said: "On the sixteenth of next month, Lord Supervisor will welcome Lord Governor in Jinzhou. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said affirmatively: "No problem, June 16, Zhang must arrive on time." ”

Wu Sangui then took his leave and left.

Wang Shide said a little worriedly: "My lord, will it be a Hongmen banquet?" ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said casually: "It's possible." ”

Wang Shide hurriedly said: "Do you need to mobilize the marines?" ”

Zhang Zhun shook his head and said slowly: "No, the number of marines is too small, dangerous. Bring out the Dingzi Battalion, and I will take the Dingzi Battalion over. In addition, the Ningzi battalion was ordered to prepare for departure. If the Dingzi battalion takes over Jinzhou, the Ningzi battalion will take over Songshan Fort. ”

Wang Shide said a little worriedly: "Then the navy ...... The three fleets can't be vacated."

Zhang Zhun smiled and said slowly: "It doesn't matter, there is a Dingzi camp, even if Gao Qiqian does it to me, I can leave Jinzhou smoothly." You can gather enough merchant ships and wait near Matsuyama Fort. In addition, fifteen Cangshan ships were mobilized to cover the merchant ships. As long as we gain a firm foothold in Songshan Fort, the high dive will not be able to help us. ”

Wang Shide agreed.

Zhang Zhun stretched his waist hard, and then rubbed his temples vigorously to make himself a little more energetic. There's still a lot to deal with, and you can't do it if you don't lift your spirits

Originally, I thought that after taking away Huang Taiji, I could live in peace for a month or two, but I didn't expect that the strong man of the imperial court broke his wrist and threw the Ningjin defense line to himself. Since there is such an opportunity, of course Zhang Zhun will not let it go. After the Tiger Ben Army took control of the Jinzhou front, the life of the Tartars must have become more and more difficult. The Tiger Ben Army's two iron pincers are enough to pince them to death.

After a while, Wang Shide came back and handed Zhang Zhun a piece of information.

After Zhang Zhun saw it, he patted his head lightly and said to himself: "Hey, I almost forgot about this stubble." ”

On the same day, he was in Jinan, and he personally promised that the four market places in Japan would be auctioned by him in person, and now, the Qilu Business Association was ready, just waiting for Zhang Zhun to appear. If Zhang Zhun doesn't want to break his promise and fatten himself, he will have to go to Jinan City.

"**, what a hard life"

Zhang Zhun said stupidly.

Since I agreed, I definitely want to go.

There is no way, I can only spend the night in Dagukou, and I will rush to Jinan City tomorrow
