Chapter 568 yīn shadow

The battle of Songshan Fort, in the eyes of Sanchahe, was both expected and unexpected, Sun Chengzong and Mao Wenlong and others only expected that Yuan Chonghua would definitely go to a big battle with the Tartars, but they did not expect that the results of the battle were so rich, eight thousand strong Tartars, this heavy battle feat, is really thick.

When the news reached the Sancha River, the entire sea was shaking.

……

The news of the Battle of Songshan Fort spread all the way from Jinning to Beijing, all the way, all the way boiling.

……

Forbidden city.

Morning.

Yang Gai got up early, and compared with sleeping until nine o'clock in the past, it was quite diligent.

"Companion, today I have called the ministers and the scholars of various ministries, I have something to do." Yang Reform said that Yang Reform has been busy with asphalt roads recently, but he has spent a lot of energy on this. In the imperial city, an asphalt road two zhang wide and more than a mile long has been repaired, and there are not many others in the imperial city, that is, there are many people, the emperor wants to build a road, and he runs every day to see, this road, if you want to repair it slowly, you can't do it. Now that it's been repaired, it's time to show it off.

"Slaves obey!" Wang Chengen was tidying up Yang Reform's clothes, and when he heard the emperor's order, he immediately went to deliver the decree.

Yang Reform was in the warm pavilion, grabbing time to review today's notebook, and first correcting today's "homework".

After more than a year of emperor's career, these scripts have been difficult for Yang Reform, and the ins and outs of many things, Yang Reform only knows the general content at a glance, and he can soon write the corresponding comments. Either accurately, or known, or written with such and such an opinion, in short, processed quickly.

Yang Gai looked at a letter of advice not to be too heavy on a certain matter, and smiled, this person probably meant that he ran to that construction site all day long, but he neglected the major affairs of the country, which was very undeserved. Advise yourself to correct it. Yang Gengai saw it, and laughed at it, recently, there is indeed an undercurrent surging, he has been paying attention to science and technology, but he hasn't paid much attention to the trends in the officialdom, so he knows it. This kind of recital, supposedly, should not be able to come to me, apparently the cabinet has received a considerable number of this kind of recital, so I have to say that I have to choose a representative xìng to send it in, and remind myself to pay attention to this matter.

Yang Reform's mind stayed on this for a few seconds, and then began to correct the next homework.

"Your Majesty, all the adults have arrived." Wang Chengen came in to report.

"Okay, let them in!" Yang said that the formation of asphalt roads indicates that the development of road traffic has been put on the agenda, and some things that rely on roads to develop can be baked. For example, the further development of commerce, this must rely on the development of roads, for example, in national defense, rapid mobility forces also need the support of roads.

Shi Fenglai, Han Yi, Bi Ziyan and a number of important ministers entered the warm pavilion.

After a salute, Yang Reform began to get down to business.

"Recently, many ministers have given me a note, saying that I am immersed in playthings, not doing my job, and keeping me away from those playthings......" Yang Reform said this at the beginning, on the surface, it was just some ministers who said this, but in fact, Yang Reform knew that this was a big undercurrent.

"......" Everyone listened carefully, and the emperor suddenly talked about this matter, I don't know what it means, perhaps, it really wants to accept everyone's opinions, or rather, the emperor doesn't take it seriously at all? Ready to go your own way? Everyone waited for the rest of the story.

“…… What I've been doing lately, you must know it! Yang Gai said with a smile. The emperor soaked in the oil residue road all day long to watch the road construction, and he didn't even care about the big war outside the Guan, in the eyes of many people, it was indeed a bit unprofessional.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Shen mí in a certain skill, work, as a king, there is indeed something inappropriate, the minister thinks, Your Majesty should not stay too much in these aspects, but should pay more attention to the major events of the country, the national economy and people's livelihood, a small matter of road construction, or leave it to the Ministry of Industry to do......" Han Yi spoke first, this time, the emperor did something inappropriate, perhaps, it is not a small tail, the emperor went to see the road repair every day, and even the war outside the customs was not too concerned. Although the war outside the gate was handed over to Sun Chengzong, the emperor should not be the shopkeeper who shook his hands.

"Jiangshan Sheji? What are the major issues of the national economy and people's livelihood? Yang asked reform.

"Back to Your Majesty, for example, the war outside the border, for example, millions of immigrants, for example, this year's drought, for example, the education of the people of the world, with Your Majesty's wisdom, if you can pay attention to these aspects, my Ming Dynasty will definitely be thriving, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and I will be prosperous in the Ming Dynasty, and it will not ......be far away." ,

"Hehehe, the Qing family is reasonable, these are indeed worthy of attention, and they are indeed related to the national economy and people's livelihood...... "Yang Gai said with a smile.

“…… However, the major events closely related to the people are not only these few things, food, clothing, housing, and transportation are all major events closely related to the people! Why can't we see this 'line'? Yang Gai said with a smile.

“…… But, Your Majesty, although it is also important, it will not make Your Majesty so heavy......" As soon as Han Yi heard the emperor's words, he knew what the emperor said, eating, wearing, living, and traveling are indeed major events, and what the emperor did was the one who built roads, although it was barely a major matter of the national economy and people's livelihood, but Han Yi always felt that this matter was not a real major event of the national economy and people's livelihood.

"Hehehe......" Yang reformed his hand and pressed it, so that everyone who was about to speak stopped.

Everyone who was about to say something, seeing the emperor's hand pressing, hurriedly stopped to see what the emperor was about to say.

“…… I summoned you today, just to talk about this business......" Yang Reform's hand pressed again, and as soon as these words came out, everyone wanted to speak again, and Yang Reform had to press his hand again to prevent the ministers from speaking.

“…… Some of the Qing family may feel that I am sinking into something, abandoning state affairs, in fact, this matter, is also extraordinary, my Ming capital is far away in the north, the transportation is inconvenient, the required grain and grass, all sè materials need to be mobilized from the south, whether it is by canal or sea, you have to go to Tongzhou, therefore, the road from Tongzhou to Beijing is the lifeline of my Ming Jingshi, I have been thinking about it, the road from Beijing to Tongzhou is repaired, so that the lifeline of my Ming Jingshi is also smooth, You don't think that paying attention to the lifeline of the Jingshi is a waste of state affairs......" Yang Gai said with a smile.

When the emperor said this, everyone was not easy to speak, but they were still ready to persuade the emperor, as Han Yi said before, the emperor should take care of the emperor's affairs, and some things should be handed over to the Ministry of Industry to do.

“…… Today, all of you have arrived, I have something for you to see, so come with me......" Yang Gengai saw that everyone still looked like they wanted to speak, and stopped everyone from speaking.

The ministers had no choice but to follow the emperor out again.

Yang Reform whispered a few words in Wang Chengen's ear, and then went out of the Qianqing Palace, and the ministers followed behind, although the emperor didn't say that he was going there, but there were also many ministers who guessed where to go, but there was no way, they could only follow, it seemed that the emperor was really enchanted, and he had to talk to the emperor well, and many ministers were thinking about this.

……

Out of the Forbidden City, Yang Gai got into a carriage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty is going far away, Your Majesty is afraid that you will be tired, please also get in the car......" Just when everyone was inexplicable, Wang Chengen came out and said.

When the ministers saw the emperor get into the car, they all followed suit.

The carriage clanged along the stone path.

Yang reform's carriage, after turning a few corners, suddenly came from the stone road to a black sè road, there was still some sharp sound of rolling the stone road, all of a sudden there was no more, only the bell still seemed to jingle, only occasionally from the body came some creaking.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the place.

Yang reformed and got out of the carriage, and the ministers also got out of the carriage and surrounded them one after another. To the surprise of these ministers, their carriage was parked on a flat black road, and when they stepped on this road, there was a soft feeling, really a very strange feeling, and even a strange taste.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how do you feel about taking the car this time?" Yang Reform said with a smile, at this moment, there is no road repair scene in full swing, only a flat asphalt road, carriages and ministers are also on this road, Yang Reform wholeheartedly wants to promote the construction of the road, with his own hard work, it is better to let these people come here to take a look, I believe that these people have seen it, they will definitely support their own road construction, as long as the demonstration road to Tongzhou is built, the rest will be easy to do.

"Grease road?" Everyone was surprised, this is the road that the emperor pays attention to every day? It looks very special, although everyone talks about this road every day, but no one has seen the true face of this road, and now the feeling of stepping on this road is really weird.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, I'm waiting to come here, but the road has always passed through this road?" Shi Fenglai asked, when he came, Shi Fenglai obviously felt that this time the carriage was a little different, obviously there was no stumbling feeling on the stone road, but it was like traveling on the Qingsha Road. ,

"Yes, this is the way." Yang Gai affirmed with a smile.

In the face of such a strange road, I have to say that it has attracted everyone's attention and aroused everyone's curiosity.

"Your Majesty, look at this road, it seems to be paved together, and it seems that there is no seam! No wonder Chen felt strange just now, why didn't this car bump at all. Shi Fenglai asked in surprise.

"Yes, this road is paved with oil residue, which can be blended together, and the difference between it and the stone road is here..."Yang Gengai explained with a smile. The slate paved road cannot be tightly fitted, and the wheels of the carriage will run over, and there will be a creaking sound, but this flat oil residue road is obviously different, without the annoying creaking sound, the vibration has also been significantly reduced a lot, and there is a soft feeling, and the difference between the stone road is really great.

"Your Majesty, is this the legendary road that is not afraid of water?" Han Yi was also surprised by this flat road, and seeing that there seemed to be many eunuchs sprinkling water on the road in the distance, Han Yi asked in surprise.

"Yes, this road is indeed not afraid of water, I have always let the water at the same time, while using a heavy truck to run over, now it seems that I am indeed not afraid of water, nor am I afraid of heavy truck crushing...... Yang Gai explained with a smile.

The ministers originally planned to persuade the emperor to stop running here every day, but when they actually arrived on the asphalt road, the whole person's senses changed, and such a good road was really amazing.

"All the Qing families have now seen this road with their own eyes, this road is not afraid of water, and the other is not afraid of crushing, so I plan to build this kind of oil residue road between Beijing and Tongzhou, so as to solve the problem of the difficulty of transporting grain in the lifeblood of Beijing." Yang Gai said that today is an on-site meeting, ready to solve this matter.

"Your Majesty, this road really wants to be good, and it is indeed necessary to build a road to Tongzhou, but this road must also cost a lot of money." Household Shangshu Bi Ziyan said.

Bi Ziyan said this problem, and the minister looked at the emperor again, this is a very core problem, I don't know how much silver I want.

"This matter, I have also thought a lot, before, I just planned to build a road with Sanhe soil, but it is not ideal, you look over there, that road is a road built with Sanhe soil, a watering and crushing, it is difficult to drive, therefore, although the road of Sanhe soil is cheap, but I can't look down on it, later, I plan to build a stone road, the stone road is not afraid of water, nor is it afraid of grinding, but the stone road is too expensive, a little hands, it is more than two or three million silver coins, therefore, I am also quite troubled, By chance, I learned that this thing is suitable for road construction, so I also asked for some to try, and now it seems that it is indeed a natural road repair material, and using this thing to build a road can save more than six or seven percent compared with stone slab road construction......," Yang Gengai explained with a smile.

"Your Majesty, it seems to be a good thing!" Bi Ziyan thought about it and said, after all, the road from Jingshi to Tongzhou is too important, it is related to the lifeblood of Jingshi, and Jingshi is the location of the head of the world, and it is not a bad thing for the emperor to pay attention to this road.

"I summoned you today, just to determine this road, I am ready to start repairing it as soon as possible, first, this road is the lifeblood of the Beijing Division, the early repair of the lifeblood of my Beijing Division will also be smoother; Second, the area affected by the disaster this year is quite large, and the construction of this road must require a large number of labor, if it can give many people affected by the disaster a place to stay, it is also a good thing, do you think? Yang Gai said.

When the people saw the emperor speak, they began to talk again.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this is a great thing, and there has been a saying of cash-for-work from ancient times to the present, and now it should be used for reference." Shi Fenglai first came out to force the tǐng emperor.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if it is in terms of cash-for-work, it is really good, the court can not only get a good road, but also settle the victims, it is indeed a good way, however, the minister still has to advise Your Majesty, this matter, not the king's stay, even if it is very important, it only needs to be handed over to Yousi, not too heavy......" Han Yi thought about it, and still said so, the current emperor has already fiddled with too many "novelties", which makes many readers feel a kind of pressure, A kind of stress caused by the fear of the unknown. In the past, they were representatives of knowledge, culture and insight, but now, more and more things they don't understand appear in this world, constantly affecting the world, and their ideological outlook, world view, what they see and know is very far behind, the emergence of these things, so that they have a sense of strangeness to the world, and this fear of the unknown, so that they are very uncomfortable, but even more uneasy, some people, began to resist these things. Han Yi is one of them, and he is still the leader. Actually, it's not that Han Yi can't accept these things, but sometimes, things are not the other, that's it, the imperial party is on the emperor's side, and he can only stand on the other side. ,

"Oh, I know this, it's just idleness, let's take a look, it's leisure! It's not as serious as the Qing family said! Yang Gai said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, now millions of immigrants are continuing, hundreds of thousands of horses and horses outside the customs are fighting, natural disasters in the north, that one, it's a big deal! How can Your Majesty say that he is idle? With Your Majesty's sage, if you have the energy to pay more attention to these things, you will surely benefit our dynasty even more. Han Yi insisted on being a qualified opposition party, Han Yi felt that what he said, that one was a super event, that one required a lot of energy, and that one thing was not done without exhaustion, it was all wrong. Today's emperor doesn't pay much attention to these things, and he doesn't ask too much, which makes Han Yi feel that at this point, it is possible to say whether the emperor is wrong or not, and he can blame the emperor.

"Hehehe...... I all know these things, I handed over the matter of millions of immigrants to Master Xu, and Master Xu is in charge in the south, I believe that Master Xu can manage it, and I am far away in Beijing, even if something happens, I can't deal with it in time! Therefore, I can only trust Master Xu, not to mention, Master Xu has always done a good job, so why should I do more? Yang Gai said lightly.

“…… But, Your Majesty ......", Han Yi wanted to defend.

“…… Didn't I hand over the battle of Liaodong to Master Sun? I am also far away in Beijing, the battlefield is changing rapidly, so I naturally have to command nearby, I can't help in Beijing, what I can do has already been explained, and the rest is naturally waiting for Master Sun's good news......" Yang Reform still explained with a smile. It must be false to say that you don't care about these things, but at such a long distance, it is difficult to meddle even if you want to, so it is better to ignore so much, many things are arranged by Yang Reform himself, and many things are only slightly mentioned, Yang Reform understands what it is, and also understands the priority of things, even if there is something to deal with, it is also extremely fast, and it is not understood by many ministers, and these things must be considered every day and night.

“…… But, Your Majesty,...... In this ......, the minister thought that ......" Han Yi was stunned by the emperor's words and wanted to refute, but before he could finish a few words, the emperor said it again.

"As for the disaster in the north, aren't I concerned about it now? Didn't Shi Shoufu say just now, work for relief has been the only way to provide disaster relief since ancient times, and now that the disaster is catastrophic, we should build roads in time to accommodate more people to eat, so I am also in a hurry to build roads! Now that it is about to be July, if the matter can be settled in time, it will be possible to avoid the displacement of the people...... "Yang reform is another big truth, everything depends on the disaster, everything is on the lips of the people, and the words are really sharp.

Han Yi gradually couldn't resist it, and was pinched several times, what he wanted to say, it was almost said, now what he opposed to the emperor was not the road itself, but that the emperor attached too much importance to those skills, work, and techniques, and raised these things too high, these things have gradually affected the interests of scholars and scholars in the world, therefore, Han Yi is brave to pick up the burden of "opposition party" to oppose the emperor, such as the corporal forest today, has already discussed the emperor in this matter.

"Your Majesty! The minister is not against His Majesty to build roads, but ......" Han Yi felt that he had to argue with the emperor again, what the emperor did had shown some kind of bad signs, this kind of signs seemed to be unfavorable to the people of the world, and this situation has become more and more prominent recently, this road repair is one, not to mention those messy new things, what is more terrible is the "thug" that the emperor values, Huang Zongxi, is now vigorously advocating the emperor's new saying: "people need" Confucianism, this kind of thing to open a knife on the head of Confucianism, Let many scholars feel uncomfortable, and even disgusted, since they want to open a knife on the head of Confucianism, it is inevitable, this Confucianism, Shengxue, I am afraid that it will also be "cut a knife", no matter how Confucianism changes in the future, it will definitely affect the interests of today's Confucian scholars, therefore, after a period of fermentation, many people began to spontaneously "restrict" the emperor, of course, this kind of opposition, is also faint, after all, the prestige of today's emperor is too high, if there is no clear name to oppose the emperor, I am afraid that it will not be pleased. Therefore, when they saw that the emperor did not follow the existing line, they all consciously and unconsciously opposed it, and came together to "oppose" the emperor and "restrict" the emperor. Faintly, a huge "anti-imperialist" alliance appeared, and Han Yi was the natural leader of this alliance, so he made a big fuss about this matter, and all the things that the emperor did not like were opposed and criticized. ,

"Report ......" shouted, interrupting Han Yi's words again, and a general hurriedly ran in the distance.

Han Yi was extremely depressed, and it was enough to be interrupted by the emperor several times, but now he was interrupted again, what is this! looked at the general carefully, and could only swallow this breath, Su Zhi's shì guard general couldn't take his turn to take care of it, besides, this guy came in such a hurry, there must be something big, what is it to interrupt him?

"What?" Yang Reform was also about to persuade Han Yi again, and when he heard the urgent report, he hurriedly asked, seeing that the general's face was happy, and he was relieved, it should be a good thing.

"Back to Your Majesty, Jinning is a great victory, Jinning is a great victory! Lord Yuan, the governor of Liaodong, led the officers and soldiers of Jinning to behead more than 8,000 elites of Tartars outside Songshan Fort...... "This general finished his words in one breath.

"Hmm!!" The people present exclaimed in unison, and Han Yi also exclaimed, Eight thousand! That's right, Yuan Chonghuan really killed eight thousand Tartars? Han Yi was secretly proud and secretly happy, he was not without money.

"Really?" Yang Reform was shocked! This Yuan barbarian is also tǐng barbaric, killing 8,000 Tartars in one go, it is really powerful, and it is not in vain that he invested so much money, nor is it in vain that he persecuted them in every way.

"Back to Your Majesty, you can't make a mistake ......," he said, and the general presented the good news.

Yang reformed the seal, intact, opened it and looked at it, it was indeed a great victory, quite a great victory, in one fell swoop to relieve the siege of Songshan Fort, not to mention, directly beheaded more than 8,000 Tartars, all of them are famous and surnamed Tartars, this word between the lines of the lù out of the various news shows that this is by no means a fabricated feat, you know, the Ming Dynasty's military exploits are quite strict, you need to use the head to the name of the Tartar, it is considered a war feat, such harsh conditions, but also said that there are names and surnames of the strong Tartars, It is almost certain that the exploits of the report will stand up to scrutiny.

"Good! Yuan Chonghuan has made a great contribution! …… Jinning won a great victory, beheaded 8,000 Tartars, and relieved the siege of Songshan Fort...... Let's take a look...... "Yang Gai looked at it, basically believed what he said, and applauded, unable to hide the joy in his heart.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty......" The ministers said happily, such a big victory, how many years has this not happened? Eight thousand!

"Hehehe, Tongxi, Tongxi, this is not only the victory of my people, but also the victory of my Daming, and the victory of the people of the world, the people of the world should share ......" Yang Reform is really happy, painstaking layout, long waiting, and now finally the fruit, this fruit is still so beautiful, the sense of accomplishment in his heart, the jī movement, I can't wait to share it with all the people.

Han Yi looked at the emperor with a happy face, and then looked at the beaming colleagues all around, he didn't feel good in his heart, he was happy and unhappy, and just now he said that the emperor doesn't care about the country, the country, and the people's livelihood, he only knows how to play, and he wants to use this excuse to "restrain the emperor", but now that the news comes out, does he still want to say it? Definitely not, the emperor's prestige must reach another very high height, and it is almost even more difficult to restrain the emperor. Of course, I am happy that Yuan Chonghuan has made such a great contribution, and he also follows it, because he is Yuan Chonghuan's teacher.

……

Fifty miles north of the Sancha River.

Houjin Daying.

The news of the Battle of Songshan Fort reached here, but there was a dead silence.

Huang Taiji instantly aged a lot.

The rider who came to deliver the message, his face was full of dust and frustration, and he was silent there, and he did not dare to make a noise about this news, and he entered the sweat tent silently, only thinking that he was dumb.

"Great Khan ......" Fan Wencheng looked at the depressed appearance of the messenger rider, and his heart fell straight down, this bad thing, I'm afraid it's not ordinary bad.

“…… Xiandou will see for himself......" Huang Taiji was silent for a long time, and finally handed the letter to Fan Wencheng.

Fan Wencheng took the letter, and the whole article was shocking, which made Fan Wencheng half shocked to death. RO@。
