The place name of Maerdun Village was not given by the Jurchens or Mongolians, but by the Han people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info During the time of Ming Taizu, the outside of the border walls of Liaozhen was also under the control of the Ming army.

The terrain here is very simple, there is nothing dangerous, the horse team can come and go vertically and horizontally, and it is easy for the foot soldiers to march, here it is said to be outside the side wall, but it is not a desolate scene outside the side wall from Jizhen to the west, but the villages are dense, there are fields everywhere, but it is not the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Liaozhen staff general Li Pinghu and Qin Deyi led the troops to clear up, this errand is actually good, compared to the strong in the leather plain is not a little bit, because here are all villages and villages, and the difference between the inland of the Ming Dynasty is not big, to say the difference, that is, there are more mountain goods and livestock, looting, oil and water are greater.

However, the soldiers and horses of Liaozhen have been dealing with the various departments outside the border wall for a long time, and they will not do it by burning, killing and looting, it is nothing more than that when they cross the border, the village will give more money and goods, and they will be extorted more fiercely.

Go out for a trip, the generals will get rich, the soldiers will be happy, the Jianzhou Jurchens are hiding and hiding, and they won't even see blood when they fight, why not do it, this is also after Li Pinghu fought for a while, Qin had to rely on it to rotate.

Li Chengliang commanded Liaozhen, the prestige is grand, in addition to the fact that he is really good at commanding the army to fight, he is also good at encircling and balancing is also one of the reasons, since Li Pinghu has made so much money in the suppression of thieves, then others can't be left behind, and they have to go up one by one to get rich, which also shows that Liaozhen is committed to exterminating the Jurchens, and the whole town is out together.

Qin Deyi's more than 5,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in Ma'erdun Village, and there were Han and Jurchens in several big families here. The benefits of the top and bottom are also complete, so that Qin Deyi can rely on this army of soldiers and horses to go to the sky comfortably.

They are also strange, Li Pinghu and this side of the real connection also said, Ma'erdun Village and the Suzi River up and down these villages have been scraped clean, now it is Jianzhou City, the people outside the side wall are called Hetuala, there is still some oil and water, but the scene is not like this.

Out of Fushun Pass, along the Hunhe River through the Salhu, turn to the Suzi River, go to the boundary of Fan Village, Gule Village, all the way to this Maerdun Village, along the way these Jurchens surrendered, not to mention, the supply is also very sufficient.

When Li Pinghu came out, he started to fight a few battles, but he was still a little dead and wounded, and Qin Deyi's team came out with strict vigilance at the beginning, and he walked comfortably all the way, and his vigilance went down.

There were no enemies at all along the way, and they were all far away, which made the Liaozhen soldiers feel like a suburban amusement this time.

When I arrived at Maerdun Village, I slaughtered pigs and sheep and had a supply of soju stuffed with grain, and I was eating a mouth full of oil, and there was a girl serving the generals above the thousands, which was very comfortable.

What happened next was no different from what the military book said, the camp gate was opened in the middle of the night, and the Jurchen soldiers and horses who came out of there did not know that they went in and slashed and killed.

Fortunately, the soldiers and horses of Liaozhen are not those wrecks in the inland, Qin Deyi's personal soldiers protected the main general, stabilized their positions, and gathered the chaotic soldiers and horses in their hands and fought outward step by step.

At first, he was caught off guard, suffered heavy casualties, and some people were trapped in it and couldn't get out, so Qin Deyi led the brigade to break out of the encirclement and fled all the way back to Liao Town.

If there were only more than 1,000 casualties in such a battle, experienced people like Wang Tong would naturally not believe it.

The facts did not surprise him, the news of the Sanjiang Commercial Bank came later, and the more than 5,000 people brought out by Qin Deyi had lost at least half of their baggage and everything.

"Li Chengliang also knows that he can't hide this, and he is probably discussing countermeasures!"

Yang Sichen made this judgment the same as his judgment, at the end of May, Li Chengliang, the chief soldier of Liaozhen, asked for guilt to go to Beijing.

Li Chengliang's attitude was extremely sincere, and he explained in his recital that he despised the enemy, and his subordinates were also arrogant and arrogant, and as a result, he was taken advantage of, but the collapse of more than 2,000 casualties was not enough to have any impact on Li Chengliang's power, and there was still a chance to make up for his own mistakes.

Sure enough, Song Shuzhong said again, although Qin Deyi lost the battle, after all, he had a lot of achievements in the past, and asked His Majesty to see his previous merits, and grant him a chance to make meritorious service in front of the army to atone for his crimes, and Liaozhen is ready to dispatch the whole army to completely exterminate the Jianzhou Jurchens and dedicate the head of the chief of the captive to the emperor.

This excerpt of the guilty plea first clarified the responsibility and was willing to bear it with all its might, and then clarified the position of making meritorious contributions to the crime, saying that Liaozhen was ready to deal with it cautiously, and that it was necessary to exhaust the army and eliminate the prisoners, which was the solution. Those who came to Beijing with this fold, as well as a large number of tax collectors from Liao Town, brought a huge amount of gold and silver benefits, giving gifts everywhere and opening up joints.

According to the news sent by Sun Shoulian, this time the Li family used the old foundation of the Gongzhong High School, and they must check the top and bottom of the Beijing Division, so that the imperial court allowed Liaozhen to handle the matter by himself.

"Li Chengliang knows that the official knows about the small actions he did, and he has always been afraid that something will go wrong on his side and let the official interfere in it, this time, the Li family is most worried about the official falling into the well, afraid that I will take the opportunity to meddle in it and damage their Li family's foundation and wealth for generations."

Wang Tong commented that he drank and discussed with Zou Yi as usual, Lu Wancai, and Li Wenyuan, since Zou Yi arrived at the celebrant as a commander and eunuch, time is not as free as before, and this appointment is still because the matter in Liaozhen is too big, and Emperor Wanli Yan wants to hear Wang Tong's opinion.

Hearing Wang Tong say this, Zou Yi groaned and said in a low voice:

"Everyone here is from their own family, Liaozhen has always been an iron bucket for business, Li Chengliang is very thoughtful, and he can't find any reason to deal with him, this time it's an opportunity!"

"You can't move lightly, although Li Chengliang has always been unkind to Brother Wang, but if he does it at this time, His Majesty's side and the people of the world will think that Brother Wang is taking advantage of the fire to rob, but it is not beautiful."

Lu Wancai shook the folding fan and said, his demeanor was very relaxed, and he said with a smile:

"What can those ant-like characters of the Jurchens do, it's just to make a little cheap by slacking off here, Liaozhen really wants to get serious, it can be destroyed in an instant, Liaozhen has already smeared his own family when he suffers, we don't have to do anything, while watching it, it's 'If you do it, it will let Liaozhen catch the rhetorical handle."

Zou Tou nodded, and said with a smile:

"Brother Lu has thought it through!"

Lu Wancai folded the folding fan and arched his hand, Zou Yijiu has been in the palace for a long time, although there are a lot of errands, but compared to Lu Wancai, who has been working hard in the officialdom outside for many years, it is still slightly inferior, of course, Lu Wancai himself also has a problem of too narrow vision and looking at things one-sidedly, which is to get guidance from Zou Yi.

Wang Tong and a few others gathered to discuss matters, and they all benefited each other a lot' The two of them were talking about happiness, but Wang Tong shook his head with a wry smile, not interfering is not the reason they said, and they also underestimate this Jurchen captive too much, you must know that this force that looks like an ant now will do great things in the future.

"The Jurchens are very nested, their original territory is on the side of Goryeo, and they were driven out by the Goryeo, and those soldiers in Goryeo don't know what ...... like a nest."

Speaking of which, even Li Wenyuan has spoken, here in the Ming Dynasty, the evaluation of Goryeo is that he is gentle and cowardly, a group of soft eggs, and the Jurchens were driven out by them, and their strength can be imagined.

It's just that this allusion was a long time ago, when the Ming Dynasty had not yet established a country.

……………

"Your Majesty, Liaozhen is also a safe way to do this, after all, it is only a small defeat outside the side wall, and it does not hurt the fundamentals, if the imperial court intervenes at this time, it will be more disturbing in plain light, it is better to let Liaozhen mobilize his own strength and atone for his crimes!"

As soon as Li Chengliang's performance comes, he must be brought to the court meeting to discuss, and when Wang Tong is not there, he said that Wang Tong is at the court meeting, so he is the authority to discuss such relevant martial affairs, after all, Wang Tong's qualifications are here, and no one dares to talk about any knowledge of soldiers in front of him.

Originally, those who wanted to raise the Li family in Liao Town and Wang Tong to confront each other have long been gone, but now everyone is complaining in private, and the Li family itself is also ridiculous, and they have given this Wang Tong the opportunity to intervene in it.

Now Datong, Xuanfu, Jizhen, Wang Tong can speak, Taiyuan and Ningxia are also friendly, Liaozhen also inserted a Sun Shoulian, the nine sides of the world, so many hands into it, this time Liaozhen may also fall into his hands.

But what Wang Tong said in the court made everyone very surprised, and he didn't want the opportunity in front of him......

Don't say that the ministers in the court are so surprised' Even Emperor Wanli was a little surprised, but now he was calm, glanced at the court, and said:

"What do you think Aiqing thinks?"

"Your Majesty, what Your Excellency is asking for here is to be safe, and military affairs should be so cautious."

Shen Shixing came out and said, and the rest of the ministers didn't say anything, and the second assistant Wang Xijue groaned, but said something else, and said:

"Your Majesty, Liaozhen is known as a strong soldier, but this time there is a defeat, but the Jurchen captives don't know the truth, if Liaozhen still goes, the risk is not small!

"Lord Wang can't help but worry too much, Liaozhen went out to Duolun with the strength of a town, and still won a big victory, how is the Jurchen captives compared to the barbarians, and the disparity in size is huge, why should you be so long with the prestige of others."

Before Wang Xijue's words fell, someone came out to refute, and Emperor Wanli looked at him, then at Wang Tong, and said in a deep voice:

"Let Li Chengliang do it, the cabinet and ministries should do what they have to do."

The ministers in the court were relieved. Angry, looking at Wang Tong's expression, he was also indifferent, and he didn't know what he was going to do.
