Chapter 66: Seeing Off

Just as Shen Jia was training recruits in Fushun and flirting with beauties at the same time, Hetuala's Emperor Taiji also ushered in his first challenge after ascending the throne. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Led by Dai Shan, several people who responded to Mang Gurtai responded to the court clamoring for Huang Taiji to launch an attack on Fushun. At first, Huang Taiji was also a little moved, thinking that he could take this opportunity to revive his military prestige. It's just that the attack on the Ming Kingdom is a military affair that needs to be carefully considered, and Huang Taiji did not express his position on the spot, but sent everyone to think deeply before discussing it.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Huang Taiji met with Fan Wencheng who came to pay respects, and told Fan Wencheng in detail about the matter, and Huang Taiji wanted to hear Fan Wencheng's opinion.

Huang Taiji's condescension and sincerity made Fan Wencheng very favored. Fan Wencheng didn't care about his identity, and hurriedly bowed to the ground and said: "The Great Khan, a lowly servant, I don't want to talk nonsense, but the Great Khan has just ascended the throne, so it should be done steadily, and don't be in a hurry." Now that the outer ring is strong, the inner brothers are in the wall, and there are constant disputes, the Great Khan should seriously consider it. ”

After hearing this, Huang Taiji frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Huang Taiji said slowly: "What does Mr. think should be done now?" ”

Fan Wencheng said: "If you attack Fushun and win, you will gain the most from each flag, and if you lose, you will endanger the sweat position. “

Huang Taiji lowered his head, and the proposal to attack Fushun was initiated by Dai Shan, and when the city was broken, he could only win some honors. While winning can help you stabilize your sweat position, there are many ways to stabilize your sweat position, and you don't need the riskiest way at this moment.

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji said: "Mr. Fan, now that I have taken the throne, I need a talent like Mr. Fan around me, please Mr. Fan help me." ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey!"

On the second day, in the council hall, Huang Taiji put forward his own opinion, he believed that after the new defeat at the beginning of the Jin month, many warriors have not yet come out of the shadow of defeat and need to recuperate for a while. And the most important thing at the moment is to send envoys as soon as possible to continue to consolidate the alliance with the Horqin Mongolian steppe. At the same time, Houjin needed to expand new trade routes, because since the loss of Fushun, the grain had reached two taels of silver per bucket, which directly threatened the survival of the Jurchens.

Although Huang Taiji did not directly deny Dai Shan's proposal, every sentence hit Dai Shan's heart hard, making Dai Shan very uncomfortable.

Dai Shan quietly gave Mang Gurtai a look, and Mang Gurtai understood, so he said: "Great Khan, what you think, I, the second elder brother, and Brother Amin all understand that food is a big problem, and I am now tightening my belts to save food for my minions, but it is not a matter if it goes on like this." Although the new trade can help us, but what is the speed of robbery? You said no? ”

After Mang Gultai finished speaking, he looked at Daishan and Amin with a smile.

Dai Shan's mind turned very quickly, and he hurriedly added: "Great Khan, what Mang Gurtai said is reasonable, the matter of business, after all, is between the two, and the strategy is smooth, but the harvest is real, and it can also solve our current predicament." ”

Amin was silent on the side, just quietly watching Dai Shan's performance. Although Amin did not advocate rash action in his heart, he always had a trace of doubt about the concept of common governance mentioned by Huang Taiji before. And attacking Fushun happens to be the touchstone of Huang Taiji's governing philosophy. Amin was extremely smart, and seeing that Daishan was so persistent, he soon realized that Daishan was no different from his own thoughts.

"Second brother, it's just that the Ming army has ironclad monsters, what can you do to break it?"

Dai Shan smiled and said: "Don't worry, the Great Khan sent back a message from the fine work we left in the city that the Ming Court Liaodong Jingluo has dragged this monster back to Liaoyang, haha, this is self-inflicted, you can't live, God help me." ”

Everyone in the council hall breathed a sigh of relief, and without this monster, the Jurchens really didn't fear anyone.

Huang Taiji saw that the three of them insisted on attacking Fushun, so he pretended to have a difficult face, and he persuaded the crowd several times, but he was still pushed back by everyone.

In the end, Huang Taiji reluctantly agreed to Dai Shan's proposal, and he ordered Dai Shan to be the commander and Mang Gurtai to be the vanguard, and attack Fushun at a time at the end of the month or the beginning of the next month.

This time, Huang Taiji did not get involved, and his keen discovery of modern goodness was purely intentional. Maybe it's better to let the second elder brother suffer a little, otherwise he will always be haunted by the loss of the sweat position, which will cost him his life sooner or later.

After the conclusion of the court meeting, the two documents were quickly sent to the Boundary Domain and Sarhu. These two sites will serve as staging points for the attack, and the army's food, grass and weapons will be prepared and transported to them in advance.

And Shen Jia of Fushun City is finally going to send off the two Qincha adults. When parting, Shen Jia also gave each of them a military coat, saying that they were old and frail and could be used to keep out the cold in winter. Yang Lian and Xiong Tingbi were very satisfied with this Cheng Yi, although they did not praise it openly, but their eyes were full of smiles.

Shen Jia also asked two messengers to bring Zhu Youxiao two gifts, saying that it was the emperor's wedding, and he offered some treasures brought back from overseas to show the loyalty of his courtiers. Shen Jia picked two stainless steel basins, two hot water kettles, and two mirrors for Qin Cha to take back to Beijing.

These things are ordinary things to Shen Jia, but to the people of this era, they are still precious, which can be detected from the surprised and envious eyes of Fushun Tongzhi Xiao Ji.

"Boy, the gift you gave to Xueru is too valuable, the old man wants to return it to you!" It was Xiong Tingbi who spoke, and he had always been obsessed with the mirror that Xiong Xueru took back.

"Old Xiong, why is that? I gave it to Miss Xiong to thank her for her teaching, why is that? ”

Xiong Tingbi snorted and said, "The old man has been bright and honest all his life, how can he not see your mind clearly." ”

Shen Jia's nose was crooked, and he said in his heart that you just said that you are serving the public, and you have to put the word "incorruptible", do you really think that everyone is a melon-eating crowd? The great corruption of officials in the Ming Dynasty may be on par with other dynasties, but small bribes have formed an atmosphere on the surface, which is better than that of the officials of the Celestial Empire in the previous life.

Seeing Xiong Tingbi boasting about himself with a solemn face, Shen Jia had a feeling of wanting to vomit. But after all, it was Qin Cha, and Shen Jia still held back.

"Old Xiong, this is what I gave to Miss Xiong, whether you want to return it to me or not, it's up to her to decide, don't worry about it."

Xiong Tingbi's expression was stunned, his daughter was so happy with this mirror, how could she go back.

Yang Lian laughed on the side and said, "You bad boy, you are old with a bear, it's just that, Brother Feibai, you just let Xueru take it, a boudoir item is not worth a few dollars." ”

Everyone who saw them off smiled slightly, but Xiao Ji knew in his heart that this mirror had been fried for five thousand taels of silver in the capital, but it was still priceless. The two foreign ministers have been away from the capital for a long time, and they don't know what happened in the capital recently.

Chen Ce, He Shixian and other generals also had a good impression of the two Qincha. After all, in the past few days, the meritorious heroes of the Shenfu Battle have all received commendations, and the head of the inquest has also been reported, and the Fushun garrison is full of laughter.

After chatting with the two Qincha leaders and drinking three glasses of turbid wine, everyone watched the Qincha team disappear into the official road in the distance.

"Shen Shinephew, how is your training, in the past half a month, I heard that you are stationed in the training camp every day, but I didn't expect you to have such a weak body and bones, you have this perseverance, not bad, Lao Tzu didn't misunderstand you."

"Uncle He, I mentioned it, but it makes me tired, these recruits are very oily, they will be lazy if they are not careful, training is the most expensive food, these grandchildren eat so much, I now have to send people out to hunt every week, and buy some Mongolian cattle and sheep for them to eat."

Chen Ce also heard it, he turned his head and deliberately said loudly: "Is it useful for you to do this?" Although we have a lot of food, we don't have much silver. ”

After speaking, Chen Ce glanced at Xiao Ji not far behind him, then hooked Shen Jia's head to his chest, and asked in a low voice: "How much silver did you steal last time, tell the old man." ”

"Boss, no more, no more, only 100,000 taels, the merchant is very ghostly, and he was transferred to other places before the siege of Fushun."

Chen Ce looked puzzled, the heart of the Tartar did not expect that Fushun would break the city, and it was impossible for these merchants to know that this kid was really slippery.

Shen Jia scolded Chen Ce's ancestors one by one in his stomach, this old fox was too cunning.

"Shh~, boss, I have prepared 50,000 taels of silver tickets for you, and I will send them to your house in a while, Uncle He, Uncle You, Uncle Qi, and Uncle Zhang Shi also have them, but the rest, just leave some for the kid, the kid has been training recently, and he is really in short supply, why don't I exchange the silver for food for you?"

Chen Ce laughed, and said in his heart that this kid was really cunning, if it weren't for his suspicions, he almost fell in touch with his way. Before Yuan Jingluo, the two Qincha were in Fushun, and Chen Ce didn't dare to ask recklessly. Now that the three of them have left, they deliberately ignore Shen Jia's previous income from the house. The three adults deliberately left such a fortune, just to give the Fushun garrison a meat bun, after all, the reward of the imperial court was distributed to each soldier's head, which was really pitiful.

"Good boy, there is really a set, the food is as you pull, no problem."

Xiao Ji saw Chen Ce and Shen Jiamei laughing in the back, but he couldn't hear what the other party said, so he could only stare at him dryly and be annoyed.

After returning to the city, Shen Jia sent Qu Xiaojia to quietly send Chen Ce 100,000 taels of silver tickets. Then, in the name of visiting, he quietly sent 50,000 taels to He Shixian, You Shigong, Qi Jin, Zhang Shi and others one by one. Everyone was happy. Everyone looks like God knows, you know and I know, which makes Shen Jia firmly believe that these old guys must have done this in the past, but this time they have become butchers on the surface.

There were less than 100,000 taels left at hand, and Shen Jia divided it equally with the two bodyguards. Wei Liangyu and Gan Liang saw the huge amount of money falling from the sky, and quietly took it into their arms, like a nobody, which made Shen Jia greatly admired.

These grandchildren, when it comes to making money, are all like monkeys. It's just a matter of making money, but after making money, he still put on a natural look, which makes Shen Jia have to admire the power of these grandchildren from the bottom of his heart.

"Brother Wei, I heard you say that there are several barrels of explosives, this thing is a dangerous item, it must be placed in a dry, backlit, low temperature place, don't have an accident, if something happens, we will be finished."

Wei Liangyu saw what Shen Jia said seriously, so he said, "Is it so powerful, I think it's okay." ”

cough~cough~cough, Shen Jia hurriedly said: "Today we will go to the quarry outside the city, you can see it." ”

Shen Jia found someone to design an explosives bag, and used black powder to design a fuse, and he planned to go to the quarry today to try this thing.

In the afternoon, Shen Jia's group arrived at the quarry, and he ordered everyone to retreat two miles away. Then Shen Jia ordered the people to place the explosives bag in the pre-dug hole, and everyone began to place the fuse.

After the fuse was dragged out for more than ten meters, Shen Jia found a Ming soldier who volunteered to light the fuse, and told him to run back quickly after lighting it.

Gan Liang was dismissive of this, thinking that Shen Jia was deliberately scaring everyone, so he suddenly pulled the torch and ran over to light the fire himself.

After igniting, Gan Liang walked back slowly.

The fuse was burning rapidly.

With a roar, the ground under everyone's feet shook, and the entire limestone rock wall was exploded with a bang and fell vertically. The huge rock wall fell in volley, slamming heavily on the rocks on the ground, and suddenly turned into gravel powder, and a white cloud rose from a distance.

The clouds spread rapidly, and immediately rushed towards Gan Liang with debris.

"Gan Liang, lie down!"

Gan Liang heard Wei Liangyu's anxious shout, and another wave of heat came behind him, he knew that it was not good, and immediately lay on the ground head-on.

The white clouds soon faded and continued to drift forward for dozens of meters before gradually dissipating. Soon, the crowd saw in the fog a man who was embarrassed and covered in dust stood up slowly.

Wei Liangyu hurriedly ran over, wanting to help Gan Liang over.

Shen Jia was silent, even if nitroglycerin was adsorbed with clay, it was still tyrannical, and it seemed that it was better to be careful.
