Chapter 46: A great achievement
"Tang Zhen colluded with the Jurchens ......" Li Huaixin was shocked at first when he heard this. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
What Tang Zhen's identity is, Li Huaixin naturally knows it, but what Mao Chenglu said also understands that more than 100 Jurchen soldiers were killed in the Tang family, and there are tooth cards as evidence.
For the war in Liaodong, killing hundreds of Jurchens was already a great victory. After all, since the confrontation between the two armies, the Ming army has been defeated in successive battles.
After pondering for a while, Li Huaixin stood up and shouted, "Fetch my armor, let's go to the Tang family to have a look!" ā
can mix in the position of the general soldier, this Li Huaixin is also a shrewd person, in his opinion, there must be a problem in this. How can it be so coincidental, you Mao Wenlong found out that the Tang family was colluding with the Jurchens, you are a small Qianzong, you dare to send troops without an order, who gave you the courage. Whether these Jurchens are real or not, we have to find out.
If it were an ordinary family, it would be fine, but after all, the Tang family has the support of Gao Gonggong, and he is a military general, if he offends the eunuch, it will not be good after all.
Li Huaixin led hundreds of guards and hurried to Tang's house. Mao Wenlong had already packed everything and was waiting outside the mansion gate, and as soon as he saw Li Huaixin coming, he immediately knelt down on one knee to salute, "Mark Mao Wenlong to see the general." ā
"Get up! Where are the Jurchens? Li Huaixin didn't talk nonsense, he just wanted to see the Jurchens.
"It's in the courtyard, general, please." Mao Wenlong said loudly.
He led the way in front and led Li Huaixin to the middle courtyard.
The scene was particularly well arranged, including the corpses of the Jurchens and the corpses of Tang Zhen. When Tang Zhen died, he was only wearing a pair of pants, which looked like he was trading with the Jurchens, so Mao Wenlong asked him to find a set of clothes on the boat.
Li Huaixin is a shrewd person, and he can see at a glance that there is something wrong here. The Jurchens have always been fierce, and looking at the courtyard, how the corpses of the Jurchens and the Tang family are clean, Mao Wenlong's men have almost no casualties.
Yes, he didn't encounter resistance, the officials and soldiers were prepared to kill and unprepared, or in the days when people took concubines, they were drunk and confused, if there were hundreds of dead and injured people, then Mao Wenlong would commit suicide.
He personally inspected the corpses of several Jurchens, checked the waist cards, and also looked at Tang Zhen's corpse. As soon as the corpse was compared, Li Huaixin followed and found out that something was wrong.
Tang Zhen's corpse was still hot, and the Jurchen corpse was cold, and it was not a dead piece at all.
Li Huaixin glanced at it and said, "You said that the Tang family is trading with the Jurchens, where are the goods traded?" ā
"Your Excellency, please see." There are a lot of things in the courtyard, which Wang Yu has prepared.
The stolen salt, iron, medicinal herbs, and armor are all here. Only the food, he did not leave. These goods are really worth a lot of money, and Wang Yu can be regarded as having made a lot of money.
In addition, there is also the silver of the Tang family, which was moved out tens of thousands of taels and placed next to the goods.
Li Huaixin couldn't help but tremble when he saw so many military supplies, including armor.
It can be said that he has subjectively determined that there must be something wrong with Mao Wenlong. The temperature on the corpses of the Jurchens and the Tang family is different, you lie to a fool. Moreover, Tang Zhen accepted a concubine today, and he had to send an invitation to Li Huaixin, and by the way, he gave some gifts. Although Li Huaixin didn't come, he accepted the gift. The day of the concubine and the Jurchen transaction is too coincidental. The most important thing is that you Mao Wenlong didn't leave a single living mouth, if you are above board, can you kill a fine man.
But when I think about it, after killing so many Jurchens, the corpses and tooth cards are real, and there are so many things that are lacking in Jurchenism, even armor, as long as it is reported, it is definitely a great achievement. With such a merit, Mao Wenlong is a small thousand presidents, and he will be sent away if he gives some benefits, the important thing is not that he Li Huaixin is wise and martial, and the court is bound to reward him.
Besides, Mao Wenlong can come up with so many things to frame the Tang family, and he doesn't believe that Li Huaixin is killed.
There are tens of thousands of taels of silver in this, as well as the Tang family's money, as long as the Tang family and the Jurchens collude are recognized, aren't these all his.
Tang Zhen is dead now, Lao Tzu can't erase such a big credit for himself to avenge your grievances. In addition, if he really wiped out this great victory and killed Mao Wenlong, then Uncle Mao Wenlong is not easy to mess with, and it is not possible to unite some imperial histories and join him for the crime of killing meritorious generals and colluding with the Jurchens, which is enough for him to drink a pot.
After weighing the pros and cons, Li Huaixin laughed loudly and said, "Wenlong, you have done a good job. The Tang family is so bold that they dare to collude with the Jurchens and betray the country. Ben will report the success with Xiong Jingluo, and go to the court to ask for credit for you! ā
"Thank you, General! It's all the generals' heroic names, and it's worth marking this credit, so why worry about it! Mao Wenlong bowed and said.
The meaning of these words is very clear, such a great credit, I can't afford to enjoy it alone, and the main credit is still yours, General Li.
Everyone tacitly agreed, and Li Huaixin smiled with satisfaction: "Wenlong, after copying the Tang family, you will take a thousand taels of silver back and reward your soldiers and horses." ā
In fact, Li Huaixin also knows that if Mao Wenlong doesn't take advantage of the fire to rob, then he will come out of the ghost. The Tang family is so rich, it is normal to move some in advance. But in terms of face, everyone has to get by.
Fushun City.
Fushun was originally the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but after the Battle of Sarhu, it was captured by Nurhachi. The commander of the army currently sitting in Fushun is Nurhachi's second son, the Great Bel Daishan.
At the age of sixteen, Daishan went out with his father Nurhachi, and after a long time on the battlefield, he was awarded the title of Baylor. It can be said that it is the internal national politics and the external command of the army.
Fushun is an important place, so after Nurhachi defeated it, he let Daishan sit here.
The original guard was changed to his temporary Baylor Mansion, and this **** was looking at the map in the house, and someone outside reported that the Khan had sent an envoy to come.
Dai Shan immediately invited and waited for others to come in, and after seeing the number of rites, the man said: "Qi Da Beyler, the king of Khan ordered me to come, mainly to ask Da Beyler, when will the salt, iron, food, medicinal materials, armor and other military supplies you prepared be delivered?" ā
"I've sent someone to buy it, and I think it's already here. Come on, please come here. Dai Shan said.
Tong Yangxing's father was originally a Ming general, and after his death, Tong Yangxing's elder brother Tong Yangzheng inherited the official position, and later became a deputy general, guarding Fushun. After the defeat of Fushun, the two brothers surrendered to Nurhachi together.
Tong Yangxing is familiar with the local area, so matters related to the Han people are all in charge of Tong Yangxing. This also includes trading with Ming merchants.
After a while, Tong Yangxing was brought in, and he knelt on the ground to salute first. Dai Shan waved his hand to get him up, and then asked, "Didn't you say that you had negotiated with the Ming merchants a few days ago and purchased a batch of military supplies?" Now my father Khan has sent people to urge, have those military supplies arrived? ā
"Qi Qi Da Baylor, the people and horses who went to Black Tiger Mountain to trade, have been out for several days, and they should have come back a long time ago, but they have not returned yet. I once sent someone to secretly go to Black Tiger Mountain to check, but I didn't find anything, it's really incredible. Tong Yangxing hurriedly said.
"Why don't you report it early?" Dai Shan asked displeasedly.
"I'm sending someone to investigate, thinking about waiting for the news before reporting back to you." Tong Yangxing said cautiously.
"You can check it out for me now! Look at those things, where the hell have they gone? Dai Shan said angrily.
"Wow!" Tong Yangxing hurriedly knelt down and said.
Liaoyang City, tax supervisor yamen.
Liaoyang is the economic and political center of the entire eastern part of Liaoyang, and almost all the big yamen are in Liaoyang.
The tax supervisor was sent by the imperial court to Liaodong to collect taxes, and the commercial tax and mining tax were opened during the Wanli period, and the emperor did not trust those civil officials, but still felt that the eunuchs were more reliable, so he sent a large number of tax supervisors throughout the country.
The tax superintendent's yamen is similar to the general yamen, with the main hall in front and the inner house in the back.
At the back door of the tax superintendent's yamen, there was a ragged posterior who kept banging on the door. This kind of behavior is usually considered to be looking for death.
"Who?" At this moment, a snarky sound sounded from inside the door, and then the courtyard door opened.
As soon as this man saw the ragged offspring outside, his eyes widened, and he scolded angrily: "Who are you?" Look for death! Do you know where this is? ā
"Guixi, it's me, Tang Yuan." Hou Sheng said breathlessly.
This person is Tang Yuan, there was a big change in the family last night, and this kid was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. But this kid is also clever enough, listening to the shouting and killing sound, he knew that it was not good, and hurriedly got out of the dog hole, so he escaped the catastrophe.
After escaping, he didn't know whether his father was dead or alive, but when this kind of thing happened, he always needed to find someone to support him for revenge. So he immediately thought of his godfather Gao Gonggong.
He fled outside Liaoyang overnight, but unfortunately the city gate was closed, and he waited outside until dawn before hurrying into the city.
After taking a closer look, he recognized Tang Yuan, who was covered in mud, and said, "Childe, what's wrong with you?" ā
"Don't talk about it yet, I have something important to see my godfather." After speaking, Tang Yuan directly grabbed it.
Seeing Tang Yuan in such a hurry, Guixi guessed that something was wrong, and after closing the door, he followed Tang Yuan into the back garden.
He asked Tang Yuan to wait in the flower hall, and went to tell Gonggong Gao by himself. It didn't take long for a middle-aged eunuch in his forties to walk into the flower hall.
As soon as Tang Yuan saw the visitor, he immediately knelt on the ground and cried and said, "Godfather, something is wrong......
"My son, what's the matter? Get up and speak. What's wrong? Gao Gonggong said in a strange manner.
Tang Yuan got up from the ground and immediately said, "Last night, someone suddenly entered my house, and he killed anyone when he saw it...... Fortunately, I ran fast to save my life, and I ask my godfather to make the decision for me......"
"What?" As soon as he heard this, Gonggong Gao's eyes immediately widened, and he shouted angrily: "Who is so bold that he dares to enter your family, is there a royal law!" Here in Liaoyang, who doesn't know that your father is my sworn brother, and you are my godson! If you dare to touch your house, isn't it equivalent to slapping me in the face! ā
"Godfather! You must avenge our family! Seeing Gonggong Gao say this, Tang Yuan suddenly came to the head of the spirit.
"Who did that? How is your dad now? Gao Gonggong asked.
"I don't know what my father's situation is now, but I guess it's more than lucky. Last night, my family shouted and killed, and I was so scared that I ran away, I didn't know what the other party was about......" Tang Yuan cried.
