Jinzhou, located east of Ningyuan, is the gateway to Liaodong, and its strategic location is very important. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info can be said that as long as the Ming army holds Jinzhou, it is equivalent to guarding the gate of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Changyuan and his entourage entered Jinzhou City, and the soldiers who encountered obstruction only needed to show their identity and quickly passed. There is a world of difference between this and being forced by Wu Sangui to be unable to accommodate himself before.

It has been more than a month since Huang Taiji withdrew his troops from Jinzhou, and the ruined city wall has also been restored by the Ming army. In the current city of Jinzhou, there are not only 30,000 defenders of the Ming Empire, but also 6,000 Guanning iron cavalry brought by Wu Sangui from Shanhaiguan. In order to defend Jinzhou, I am afraid that Huang Taiji will go and return, and Jinzhou City will be lost and lost.

Fortunately, Huang Taiji has no plans to raise troops to attack Jinzhou now, and all his energy has been spent on Phi Dao. This made Wu Sangui, who was guarding in Jinzhou, breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he was also a little worried about Wu Yinglong.

Wu Sangui is well versed in the art of war, and knows that Wu Yinglong has no possibility of winning this time, but he will not sit idly by, after all, he is his own son and nephew, and Phi Dao is now also the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so he still needs to support it.

There was no need to send troops, and Wu Sangui did not have any decent sailors, so he had to send some military supplies to Wu Yinglong, and at the same time wrote a letter to Yang Wenyue, the governor of Denglai, asking him to support Phi Dao.

I didn't have a clue about a lot of troubles, and suddenly heard a report from my subordinates, saying that Zhu Changyuan had entered the city, Wu Sangui's brows couldn't help frowning, and said, "Didn't I ask someone to get him to the capital?" How did you come to Jinzhou? ”

The entourage soldier asked, "Can the general see him?" ”

"Nope!" Wu Sangui sternly refused, last time he forced Zhu Changyuan to have no place in Liaodong, and now he wants to apologize to him and joke when he sees him.

However, he can't see it, because Zhu Changyuan has already led the captives all the way in.

"General Wu, why did you disappear when you passed through Jinzhou to see you when you went to Beijing to take up your post? Anyway, I'm your subordinate! Zhu Changyuan appeared in Wu Sangui's sight with a broken captivity.

Wu Sangui's face was very dark, and he looked at Zhu Changyuan and snorted coldly, and said, "Then congratulations to my lord." He turned his head and put the scroll in his hand on the table, and said to the soldiers beside him, "Please come in and drink tea." ”

Zhu Changyuan raised his feet and entered the door, sat on the chair opposite Wu Sangui unceremoniously, smiled on his face, and said: "I also want to congratulate the general, Jinzhou City has been regained, I'm afraid the general will soon supervise Ji Liao, right?" ”

Hearing Zhu Changyuan's words, Wu Sangui's face softened slightly. Since Wu Aheng died in battle, the imperial court has not followed for a long time, and I don't know who the errand of the governor of Jiliao will fall on. For this matter, he went to Beijing for many activities, but no one could pack a ticket for him, because the candidate for the Jiliao Governor wanted to be approved by the emperor.

Zhu Changyuan took a cup of tea handed over by his own soldiers, tasted the tea carefully, but looked at Wu Sangui from time to time: This product is obviously only in his twenties, but he is tall and mighty, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looks like a soldier at first glance.

"My lord, there is no wine in the army, so you can only replace wine with tea."

"It's okay, I'm not here to drink with you." Zhu Changyuan didn't care, and gently put the teacup on the table.

"So, what else do you want me to do?" Wu Sangui's eyebrows furrowed.

"If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do, you will naturally have something to do with the general." Zhu Changyuan got up from the chair, stretched out his hand back, and handed over a scroll, Zhu Changyuan received it in his hand and slowly opened it, and then handed it to Wu Sangui and said: "I am about to leave, I have to explain one thing." There are 3,000 lieutenant officers and men in our army, which originally belonged to the temperance of the general army in Liaodong, and according to our example, the infantry soldiers were one tael of silver per month, and the total salary in March was 9,000 taels. During the attack on Shengjing, all 3,000 soldiers were killed, and I also had regulations on the pension of infantry soldiers, and the soldiers had 90,000 taels of silver. Please also pay the general! ”

"Huh?" Wu Sangui took the roster, his brows furrowed deeply, he knew these soldiers under Zhu Changyuan, first stationed in the Daling River, then robbed the treasure ship to get some soldiers, and then ran to the sea to fight pirates, and finally captured Shengjing, and everyone sacrificed their lives for the country.

It stands to reason that the military salaries proposed by Zhu Changyuan are reasonable and should be given, but now don't say that he has no money in hand, even if he has money, he can't give it, won't it go into Zhu Changyuan's pocket?

Beat to death and do not admit it.

"Your Excellency, isn't it an exaggeration, as far as this general knows, when you were stationed in the Daling River, you only had 400 soldiers under your command, how can you have 3,000?"

"Did you knowingly ask?" Zhu Changyuan had long expected that Wu Sangui would ask this question, and said: "Later, I subdued the pirates and Zheng Hebao's ship, and so on, so naturally there were three thousand. ”

"What's the credentials?" Wu Sangui smiled yin, and said secretly in his heart: Everyone is dead, even if you have a lotus tongue, you can't find the evidence when you think about it.

"No credentials." What credentials can Zhu Changyuan come up with.

"Dude, don't joke with me without credentials!" Wu Sangui laughed and placed the scroll on the table.

Zhu Changyuan also smiled slightly, and said calmly: "There is a testimony!" ”

"Testimony." Wu Sangui was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again, "I'm afraid it's also unfounded testimony!" ”

"Well, the testimony is unfounded!"

"You don't have to take it out if you don't have a basis." Wu Sangui smiled and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of sending off guests.

Zhu Changyuan didn't bird him, and said: "My witness is a little special, although there is no basis, it can be conclusive!" ”

"Cut, Master Zhu, you should still please, I advise you not to be smiling and generous here." Wu Sangui watched coldly, got up from the chair, and personally sorted out the scroll and handed it to Zhu Changyuan, with a smile in the corner of his eyes.

Zhu Changyuan shook his head, stretched out his hand and took out a scroll from behind him, and said, "General Wu, it's better to take a look at my testimony." ”

Wu Sangui did not answer, Zhu Changyuan personally slowly unfolded, and recited: Fengtian carried the emperor, the edict said: I heard the name of the ancient king, the national material, the cultivation of the pillars, now Liaodong 100 General Zhu Changyuan, attack and make a decision, led 3,000 strong men to restrain the construction of the captives to death, in my Ming Dynasty to recover Jinzhou has a miraculous feat, very comforting to my heart, the head of the Ministry of Works.

After Wu Sangui listened, he didn't stand or sit, his face turned pale, and he glanced at Zhu Changyuan dissatisfied.

"How? General Wu, can this testimony of His Majesty be used as a basis? Or do you have doubts about Your Majesty? ”

"Wei Chen naturally doesn't dare to doubt Your Majesty!" Wu Sangui gritted his teeth, he never expected Zhu Changyuan to take out the holy decree as a testimony: This guy is so hateful that he even dares to use the holy decree.

"Well, since you admit it, give the money! Ninety thousand taels of silver, nine thousand taels of silver, a total of ninety-nine thousand taels of silver! Zhu Changyuan looked like a scoundrel and sat back on the chair.
