Chapter 546: The Node of History

Regarding Wang Fulin's request, Li Rusong felt very puzzled. If you want to say that people are here to find fault, but although Wang Fulin and Xiaobei have been out, they will occasionally get rid of the people who are watching, and they don't know where to do it, but most of the time they are still quite honest, not to mention, Wang Daokun, the squire of the military department, has not looked for the stubble of Liaodong since he took office, not to mention that his father's status in front of Shoufu Zhang Juzheng is no less than Qi Jiguang. But it's not here to find fault...... What is Wang Fulin doing to see Wang Gao?

What he didn't expect was that a few days later, early in the morning, Wang Fulin came to him with Xiaobei with a smile and a grin, and made a request to him that made his eyes wider.

"If you want to learn the Jurchen words, you want to find someone who knows the Jurchen to teach you?" Li Rusong stared at Wang Fulin up and down for a while, and finally asked bluntly, "What do you want to learn from the female truth?" Jianzhou Jurchen, Haixi Jurchen, and Savage Jurchen, although they all sound called Jurchen, but the dialects are not very different, and it takes a lot of effort to learn, why are you bothering? ”

"After this battle is over, Fushun will definitely reopen the mutual market. You also know that the Wang family of Songmingshan originated from Shangjia and used to be a famous salt merchant in Yangzhou, but now that the Cheng family of the Xu family is rising, the business of the Wang family is not as good as before. And before my uncle's recovery, many of the foreign affairs of the Wang family in Songmingshan were taken care of by me, although now I am a Jinshi, but the habits are difficult to change, since I have arrived in Liaodong, I always want to understand the market of the mutual market, maybe I will do business on this line in the future. If Master Li doesn't believe it, he can let people inquire. My reputation as a little God of Wealth is also quite outstanding. ”

Xiaobei obviously heard Wang Fulin say to himself before that he was not interested in doing business in Liaodong, but now he saw him talking nonsense in front of Li Rusong in a serious manner, which was really angry and funny. At this time, I knew that I was the god of wealth, and I used to tell people that I was a disaster! However, belly slander is belly slander. As a wife, she still helped out in a timely manner: "Master Li, my father-in-law's words sound like boasting, but he still has a hand in making money, and he thinks that the family can go from being in debt to the current surplus, and he is also in charge." He single-handedly concocted a Huizhou Rice Industry Guild and is still the president. ”

Li Rusong listened to Xiaobei's detailed explanation, and finally laughed. Nowadays, unlike in the early Ming Dynasty, civil and military officials who were born as big businessmen are not only not discriminated against, but have long since gradually become a system of their own. For example, Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei from Puzhou are not all top Jin merchants, and they often make profits for those Jin merchants in the court, especially the reopening of the horse market? But at least people themselves will not personally touch this kind of copper smell, but Wang Fulin did the opposite, no matter how much truth there is in these words, but when it comes to this, if he still doesn't agree to this simple request, it will really offend people.

Not to mention. If Wang Fulin really had ulterior motives, he would spread this word today. If the spittle of the official of the science and Taoism is sprayed, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the officialdom!

"Okay, I'll go back and help you see if there is such a person." After agreeing to such a thing, Li Rusong's heart moved, and then he said with a smile, "It was my father who broke Gule Village this time." Bring back a group of Jurchen teenagers, are you and your younger siblings interested in going with me to have a look? ”

After breaking the Gule village, he captured the Jurchen boy who was brought back? So is there a very small possibility that one of the biggest purposes of my coming to Liaodong is that a certain hero who will dominate in the future is among them? Wang Fulin couldn't be calm all of a sudden, and the whole person fell into a crazy finger pinching calculation. Immediately, a thousand times and ten thousand times, he hated himself for not being a folk historian in his previous life.

Li Rusong even called out the title of brother and sister directly, Xiaobei didn't know whether people were intent on being close or deliberately tempting, anyway, she was actually not very happy to mingle with the daughters-in-law of the Li family all day long. Maybe it's because Mrs. Su is extremely difficult to serve, but she has a good relationship with her, even if she is already a husband of Luo Fu, the three concubines still often see her eyes as not eyes, noses are not noses, but Li Chengliang and Mrs. Su's only daughter Li Rumin and her are quite compatible with her.

Therefore, seeing that Wang Fulin seemed to be in a daze, she took the initiative to agree: "Then let's go and see, but who do I want to fancy, does Brother Li dare to pick it up and send it to me?" ”

Although Mrs. Su mentioned that they don't need to call each other so angry, Xiaobei has never changed her words, but just now Li Rusong called her brother and sister, and at this moment, she heard her directly call Brother Li, and immediately felt that this girl was very funny. He smiled happily without thinking about it: "It's just a group of prisoners of war, although they escaped their lives by luck, but they were originally sent to raise horses and build camps for hard labor, and they were used as slave soldiers as cannon fodder during the war." If you have other generals to choose as your personal followers, that is the best ending, if you want me, I will send you, this is not a big deal. There is only one, don't blame me for your jealousy. ”

Xiaobei only reacted after a while, she was actually teased by Li Rusong, seeing that people had already laughed and turned around to leave first, she hated her teeth and said: "Last time, Mrs. also mentioned it, saying that it was Brother Li, the family next to you is handsome, if it is really so good, I will keep it for you first!" ”

Li Rusong, who was walking in front, almost stumbled when he heard this. If you want to say that there is a good male style in the army, it is a well-known secret, but he is genuine, but he has to be a beauty and don't love men, but who doesn't like the people around him can be more energetic, and save them from looking at it and annoying? Thinking that he had taken the initiative to provoke the couple on Wanzi Mountain before, he suddenly regretted it inexplicably.

If I knew this, I wouldn't have had much to do at the beginning, or after asking those one or two sentences, I didn't try to use the sword, and I saved a bunch of trouble later!

Xiaobei saw that Li Rusong was walking fast, but he didn't hear his teasing, so he bumped Wang Fulin, who was a little stunned, with his elbow: "Hey, what's in a daze, follow and see!" ”

Wang Fulin, who was counting the approximate year with his fingers crossed, suddenly realized, and gave his wife a thumbs up with a dry cough: "It's really right to take you out this time, hurry up!" ”

Otherwise, if he really found someone, he would have to think about how to speak, who knew that Xiaobeizui would soon set the tone first!

Wang Fulin thought that Li Rusong was going to take him to a prisoner of war camp, but he didn't expect that he would take him and Xiaobei to a construction site that was in full swing.

Now for the southeast, spring has bloomed. But outside the gate, it was still warm and cold, but all the people here were naked, some carrying wood, some pushing stones, and it was clear that barracks were being built. Most of them are quite short, and it often takes two or three people to carry a log. The overseer's soldiers were all five big and three thick strong soldiers. Each man carried a leather whip in his hand, and if someone was slow or lazy, he would immediately point a whip at it. Even so, no one dared to cry out for pain, let alone beg for mercy, only the occasional shouts and whips of the overseers.

Li Rusong, who was standing on a horse, glanced at Xiao Bei, who was dressed in men's clothes, and thought that she might be ashamed when she saw those topless young prisoners of war. But I found that she just looked away a little unnaturally, but she didn't react excessively. And Wang Fulin's eyes only flashed, and he didn't criticize the behavior of treating prisoners of war so harshly, you must know that he originally thought that Wang Fulin would at least say a word about the young and the young.

Wang Fulin did feel compassion for a moment, but he was completely pressed down in an instant. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchens have always adopted a strategy of combining appeasement and high-pressure policies, and with it, both the Jianzhou Jurchens and the Haixi Jurchens have been accompanied. Once it rises, it will trample through the land of Liaodong with iron hooves because of plundering the wealth of the population or pure revenge. One comes and goes. This kind of hatred is simply irresolvable, and after Nurhachi led the Jurchens to rise, how could the methods not be cruel?

And Li Chengliang's style of governing the army, one of the most famous is the thirst for killing. Especially when fighting the Jurchens, it is said that the city was slaughtered at every turn. This is how the fight against Gule Village should be, and this is how Nurhachi's father and grandfather died in the future. Over the years, the Ming army has killed many girls and real people, but how many people the Jurchens loot from Liaodong every year, this blood debt cannot be calculated.

saw Li Rusong looking at him. He said lightly: "Thinking of the fact that after the Jingkang Revolution in the past, the Song Kingdom from the princes and nobles to the concubines and princesses were all taken captive and went north, and how many people died in the Five Kingdoms City, I will not have the kindness of that woman." ”

Li Rusong greatly agreed with this: "There are some people in the DPRK who often put the word benevolence and righteousness on their lips, and they have completely failed to see how many military families have been dying in Liaodong over the years, and the son cries for his father and the father cries for his son. ”

Xiaobei quickly adjusted her mood, and when she saw Li Rusong's entourage stepping forward to deal with a few officers who came over in a hurry, she changed the topic and asked: "Having said that, these prisoners of war are serving hard labor here, and it seems that there is no need for Brother Li to come and check in person, right?" What were you doing here? ”

Wang Fulin also wanted to ask this question, but his wife asked instead of him, and he secretly praised his husband in his heart, and immediately pretended to be careless.

Li Rusong knew from his mother, Mrs. Su, that Xiaobei was a straightforward person, and shrugged his shoulders and said, "Father asked me to pick a few clever ones and put them in the General Military Mansion as my personal companion." Teach them Chinese and learn Chinese characters, these are all familiar with Jurchen geography, as long as they can use Sinicization to soften their minds, maybe they will be of other use in the future. ”

That's it!

Wang Fulin suddenly grasped the key point, and then looked at the Jurchen young captives who were doing the hardest work, and secretly thought that if the Nurhachi brothers were really captured by Li Chengliang after the Gule Village was broken, and fell into the current situation, under heavy labor, they could live for a few years, they would have to burn high incense, how could they easily escape back again? Only Li Rusong's explanation can explain the problem.

Xiaobei saw a stout young man not far away fall down, but what he attracted was a sharp leather whip, lying prone on the ground and not even having the strength to roll, and finally showed a trace of unbearable eyes, but asked in his mouth: "But won't that raise tigers for trouble?" ”

"Brother and sister think too highly of them! Tiger? Not to mention that now at most it is a tiger cub, even if it is a real tiger in the mountains, when it comes to the acre of three points of land in Guangning, you have to kneel honestly and be a dog for me! Li Rusong sneered, hugged his hands and said, "Since you want to keep it like a useful dog, you naturally have to put it on a leash, tighten your neck, and raise a few more, so that they can bite each other after their fangs are sharp." But that's all for the future. Now they want to be dogs, and they have to wait until they are lucky enough to climb out to see me today, so that they can have this opportunity! ”

PS: If Nurhachi's grandfather and father don't die, he won't have a chance to rise...... Not a historical coincidence, history is inherently man-made (to be continued. )
