Shen Jia originally hoped that Chen Fuke could come to Fushun to govern civil affairs, but now Shen Jia knew that this was impossible, because the imperial court sent the military department to Xiao Ji to take up the post of Fushun Tongzhi. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In a previous recital, Xiao Ji attacked Yuan's strategy of appeasing the Mongols. He believes that "there are three suspicious people and four worrying people". Later, after the Shenyang Incident, the Ming court obviously did not explicitly criticize Yuan Yingtai's appeasement strategy, but secretly forced Xiao Ji, one of the opponents, into Liaodong, and Yuan Yingtai could only eat the bitter fruit for this.

Ren Fushun is the same as the sixth grade, for Xiao Ji, who was born in the military department of the seventh grade, it is simply a pie falling from the sky. On the one hand, the official character has been improved, and on the other hand, his own policy has been slightly recognized by the DPRK, which is definitely a gratifying thing.

After Xiao Ji got the letter of appointment, he almost breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried to the outside of the pass, hoping to do a good job in the border town of Fushun.

The sudden change caught Shen Jia by surprise, which completely disrupted his plan and rhythm. Shen Jia smelled the danger signal from behind a series of incidents. First of all, Xiao Ji is a hardcore Donglin party, if he can kindly remind Yuan Yingtai of the reasons for his opposition, Shen Jia can still understand. But he just passed the court discussion and spoke out against it, which shows that the decision-making within the Donglin Party is not monolithic, and even chaotic.

In addition, the court questioned Yuan Yingtai's strategy, insinuating that the Donglin Party could not know how to make good use of people, but the entire trend of the Chao Yi was still controlled by the Donglin Party, and the opposition within it was successfully raised to the position of Fushun Tongzhi, which shows that the power of the Donglin Party in the DPRK is almost covered with one hand.

Behind this seemingly smooth sailing, there is a great worry, whether anything is extremely Tailai. Shen Jia clearly remembered that the Donglin Party was in the first year of the Apocalypse, and the power was monstrous in the second year, which caused the dissatisfaction of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, so he released his slave Wei Zhongxian. As a result, in the next round of power struggle, the Donglin Party was completely defeated and became an opposition political force from then on. Even in the Chongzhen period, the Donglin Party only recovered its reputation, and it was the same as the highest power in the court.

Xiao Ji has a resolute opposition to appeasing the Mongols, which has to make Shen Jia careful, especially the current large-scale use of Mongol quarrying and mining, once he catches the handle, I am afraid that he will have to shed his skin if he does not die. The military attache is nothing more than a violent beating, and the civilian officials control public opinion and power in the court, if they really play, life is better than death, I am afraid it is light, and it is very likely that the stench will be left for 10,000 years.

"Presumably this is Shen, Brother Shen who has made great contributions to Fubi, hey, the lower official lost his words, Little Brother Shen is not in vain now, the lower official brought a letter of appointment from the imperial court, and let Little Brother Shen take up the garrison of Fushun Dongzhou Fort."

Looking at Xiao Ji with a sneering face, Shen Jia was not happy at all, and after bowing down to thank Xiao Ji, Shen Jia turned his head to look at Chen Ce.

Chen Ce raised his head slightly, and he already understood what Shen Jia meant, so he stepped forward and said: "Lord Xiao has come from afar, we will prepare a little thin wine to catch the wind for the adults, in addition, Dongzhou Fort was seriously damaged when the Tartars invaded before, and at present, Lord Shen is in charge of the repair of the Fushun City Wall, and at the same time, Lord Shen also has to recruit soldiers, so let him temporarily garrison Fushun." ”

Xiao Ji squinted his eyes and smiled: "It's easy to say, with Boss Chen here, everything is up to Boss Chen." ”

Everyone sent Xiao Ji to the Yamen of Tongzhi in the city, and Shen Jia reluctantly knelt down to take the inauguration paperwork, and said a word of gratitude to the country. Xiao Ji then said: "I passed by Liaoyang when I came, and I chatted with Yuan Jingluo, Yuan Jingluo thinks that the Fushun army is strong and strong, and the Jiannu is newly defeated and the morale is decadent, why don't we prepare again, organize an attack on Salhu City, and strive for a battle, I don't know what you think?" ”

Shen Jia said in his heart, this Yuan Yingtai has a lot of ideas about military affairs, but most of them lack thoughtfulness, and he is really not the best candidate for strategy. When Liaoyang was besieged in history, Yuan Yingtai urged the defenders to go out of the city to fight on the first day, and suffered heavy casualties, but he did not let the defenders withdraw into the city according to the changes in the situation. On the second day, when fighting with the Tartars, the Ming army was defeated, and when they wanted to enter the city, the supervisor Gao Zhu, Hu Yingdong and others fled over the wall, and the people's hearts were scattered. Yuan Yingtai did not take the opportunity to rectify the city, but on the third day, the Inner Mongolians in the city rebelled, and finally Yuan Yingtai fell to the death of the city and broke the city.

When Yuan Yingtai left Fushun a few days ago, Chen Ce and others had already told the truth about the situation in Fushun, and it was only a few days later, but he had an idea out of thin air. In the case of Fushun's unstable foothold to attack Salhu City, Shen Jia's imaginative attack plan for this old man was really admirable.

He Shixian didn't speak all the time, and at this time he heard Xiao Ji's urging, so he said impatiently: "The Tartars are newly defeated, but their strength has not been greatly damaged, how can they be undefeated if they attack rashly?" In the battle of Salhu that year, Liu Wei and Liu Lao resolutely opposed the hasty raising of troops, but under the pressure of the court, the result was the loss of teachers and humiliation of the country, did Lord Xiao forget? ”

"You... You... You, Lord Chen, tell me what we should do, this is the opinion of Lord Yuan of Shenyang. ”

Chen Ce pinched his chin and looked around, but he didn't speak, just pretended to be thoughtful.

Shen Jia said in his heart that this old fox began to play tricks again, but since Uncle He had expressed his position, Shen Jia naturally couldn't be left behind, so he bowed to Xiao Ji and said, "Lord Xiao has come from afar, and the situation in Fushun may not be clear, why don't you make a decision after you understand it?" In the battle of Salhu that year, Daming concentrated tens of thousands of soldiers and failed to complete their achievements in one battle, Lord Yuan wants us to send troops, this is not easy, give people, just give money, you can't let me go to the Tartars bare-chested to cut it, do you say it's Lord Xiao? ”

Chen Ce couldn't help laughing on the side, and said in his heart that this cheeky little slippery head actually said everything he wanted to say, or not, I want to hear how Xiao Ji copes.

Xiao Ji was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect the other party to give him a problem in turn. When he passed through Liaoyang, he wanted to repair the relationship with Yuan Yingtai, after all, he was about to eat rice in a bowl, but he couldn't just put down the bowl and scold his mother like when he was in the middle of the matter. Fortunately, Yuan Yingtai is also a person who takes care of the overall situation, and he did not embarrass him, and asked him to convey the request for attack to Fushun.

At that time, Xiao Ji thought that this was just a trivial matter, a dispute of tongues, and at this time, when he heard that Shen Jia wanted this and that, he thought that there might be a lot of involvement behind it.

However, Xiao Ji was not easy to get along with after all, he stared at Shen Jia and said, "Isn't it possible to prepare without grain and grass?" With tens of thousands of displaced people in the city, why is it difficult to recruit tens of thousands of soldiers? Besides, a lot of Fushun has been captured, so why don't you use these? ”

Shen Jia secretly scolded this bastard for being a Qing councillor for a long time, thinking that someone would come over as soon as he opened his mouth. Shen Jia said: "Adults are good at handling civil affairs and chores, why don't you let adults preside over it?" ”

Xiao Ji's face suddenly became gloomy, and he stared at Shen Jia and said, "Could it be that Lord Shen thinks that the military attaches of the Ming Dynasty are all dry meals?" This little thing still needs to be done by the official? ”

Nima's, Shen Jia's face suddenly became a little unbearable. However, because of Chen Ce and He Shixian, he still couldn't help but not show it.

Chen Ce continued to ponder and pretend to be dumb, and He Shixian also turned his head to the side, chatting happily with You Shigong.

Xiao Ji stared at everyone in the room for a while, and suddenly found Qi Jin who was closing his eyes and recuperating on the side, so he walked over with a smile and said: "General Qi, the prestige of the Qi family army is far away, and the world knows it, before I came, I heard that the Ministry of War was going to add an official to General Qi to the knighthood, in recognition of General Qi's fearlessness in the Shenyang Rebellion, and the lower officials congratulated General Qi in advance." ”

Qi Jin opened his eyes, glanced at the person in front of him blankly, and then bowed slightly and said: "I am injured in my humble position, and I have not yet healed, these days Mr. Chen has let me recuperate, and all military affairs have been handed over to my subordinates. ”

A flash of anger flashed in Xiao Ji's eyes, his face turned gloomy again in an instant, seeing Qi Jin acting like this, he knew that persuasion was hopeless, so he returned to his seat, slapped the table heavily and sat down.

Chen Ce on the side saw that Xiao Ji's face was not good, and he understood that he couldn't offend Xiao Ji too much, so he hurriedly said: "Lord Xiao, if not, let's go down and check the soldiers of each battalion first, as well as the preparation of weapons, food and grass, and then make a decision?" ”

Xiao Ji looked around and nodded helplessly.

Next, everyone washed the dust for Xiao Ji, Shen Jia was originally to be familiar in front of the new official, and his level was too low, so he had to leave in advance under the pretext of leaving.

Now that the letter of appointment has been clearly obtained, the recruitment has become reasonable, unlike before, when you always had to use two bodyguards.

Thinking of this, Shen Jia asked Wei Liangyu, "How is the recruitment going?" Anyway, if we have nothing to do today, why don't we go and have a look. ”

Wei Liangyu was a little frustrated, snorted, and waited for a while before he pouted and said: "Only six hundred and fifty-six people have been recruited, which is still far from your goal of one thousand and five, it's not that the villain is not dedicated, it's just that this Liao people, hey, don't mention it." ”

Shen Jia sighed, he also knew that although Liaodong was cold, most of the time it could only grow one crop, but Liaodi has always been vast and sparsely populated, rich in minerals, as long as he can survive, almost no one is willing to come out to be a big soldier.

Most of the army of the Ming Dynasty was also half peasant and half soldier, and only a few were professional soldiers. The income of professional soldiers and peasant soldiers was generally very low, and before the Wanli Dynasty, a soldier's family could barely make ends meet. However, from the middle and late Wanli Dynasty, the silver inflow of the Ming Empire surged, and in the absence of a large-scale growth of domestic goods, prices began to soar, almost on the verge of semi-out of control, and it became even more difficult for the Ming army to rely on silver to maintain food and clothing.

It can almost be said that the financial system that lagged behind the status quo in the late Ming Dynasty was an important reason why military salaries could not make ends meet.

From the end of the Wanli Dynasty, Liaodong became one of the most important areas for the Ming Dynasty's military salaries, and the merchants who flocked to the city used the sea to bring large quantities of cheap goods from the south of the Yangtze River to the outside of the customs in exchange for silver before expanding production.

However, the Kanwai was threatened by war, and it was simply impossible to organize large-scale handicraft industry or even agricultural production. Under the trend of one another, the trade outside the customs became more and more one-sided, silver became less and less valuable, and materials became more and more expensive. The pay went to the soldiers, who were always complaining that they didn't have enough food to eat. In the end, basically no one wants to be a soldier, and even if they do, they are those who really can't get along and just want to mess around.

At present, Shen Jia is directly recruiting troops by issuing food subsidies and increasing food distribution, but compared with a few days ago, it doesn't seem to have changed too significantly, which makes Shen Jia puzzled.
