Chapter Seventy-Seven: Here Comes the Forehead

"It's good to be an official, especially this military attaché." Chen Xin mǎnyi's intelligence from Jingshi, the hundreds of Zhenyi heads in Fuzhou finally made him reach the limit of the actual position of military attaché, the left army governor of the Zuo Du Governor's Mansion, hanging the seal of General Ping Liao, and Mao Wenlong of that year had an official position, and the prince Shaobao was promoted to the prince and young master. If you want to make war exploits later, the court can only work on the virtual title.

This is really the top of the military rank is too low, a general soldier can not be promoted, but there is only a regular barracks under his command, and the troops scattered all over the country are only assembled in wartime, and they are not familiar with each other, and the civilian officials in charge of the salary and logistics have the foundation to lead the troops." Novel chapters are updated the fastest. Sigh and sigh leg fat to block the comfort and forgiveness? br/>

Now yijing November, according to the latest intelligence, Jiannu is still on the way back to Liaodong, at this time it should be yijing near the old Guangning, Jiannu people are sleepy and tired, this year is not to expect to fight Lushun, Chen Xin was a little disappointed, but this also gave him more preparations.

This is the study of the general soldier's mansion in Dengzhou Town, Chen Xin méiyou lives alone in Dengzhou City, bijing he killed a lot in Dengzhou, or a little afraid of retaliation, so he simply lives in the school field pángbiān, there are soldiers patrolling day and night, it is safer.

Liu Minyou sat opposite him and roasted the fire, after the end of the autumn harvest and tax payment, there were fewer civil affairs affairs, and there were few activities of all kinds in winter, and the civil affairs work was relatively easy, and the 300,000 mu of land grabbed in the spring and summer of this year received 400,000 stone grain, and another 200,000 mu arrived late, and it was not enough to plant spring wheat, a large variety of mung beans and other fertile crops.

These newly-built tunpu are also distributed to households, and the grain is supplied uniformly, and the income is not too much, after this year's harvest. Each tunpu began to divide the acres of land into households, and next year they could collect taxes and grain. Dengzhou Town's investment in Tunpu will be greatly reduced.

Liu Minyou grabbed two soybeans and took another sip of wine. This is the sorghum wine that began to be produced on a trial basis this year, and most of the sorghum is planted on the barren fields of the newly developed backing mountains, and Liu Minyou encouraged the backing Tunpu to develop land for farming, and some sorghum and corn can still be planted, both of which are good raw materials for eating and winemaking.

The Tang Dynasty began to distill liquor, but the purity could not reach too high, the Ming Dynasty could reach up to more than 20 degrees, Liu Minyou of course is not only used to drink, now in the Wendeng University Hall in the Agricultural Academy set up a liquor department. There are more than six or seven students, and the teacher is a bankrupt owner of a winery who has wandered over, just teaching students to make urns for extracting distilled spirits, as well as actual operations, of course he doesn't know shime theory, but in this era, these are things that are regarded as family heirlooms, and if he hadn't become a homeless, he wouldn't have taken them out to teach others.

Shochu is another very sought-after commodity in the north. In the Mongolian tribes, the herdsmen are addicted to alcohol, and they are willing to exchange a few catties of wine for a horse, and Liu Minyou does not dare to use grain to make wine. He hopes that there will be some higher purity alcohol that can be used to clean the wounds of the wounded, so that it will continue to improve the survival of the wounded.

The disinfecting effect of honey has been tested. Liu Minyou asked the comprehensive store to buy it at a higher price, and the original beekeepers became very popular. Many households want to use beekeeping as another source of income for their families.

Bee farming is more convenient than chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, so find a difāng under the eaves of your home to make a beehive. Wait until someone else has the shihou of the new Fengwang bucket, and go over to collect it, the shihou of the bucket is usually pricked and swollen all over the body, but there is no need to feed it every day, it is very labor-saving, and it does not occupy the shimedifāng at home, and the back is almost méiyou cost, and it will not make the manure all over the ground, which is very suitable for Tunpu as an additional breeding income, of course, the shihou of the bee candy is swollen again.

Dengzhou has expanded the army and workshops this year, prices have a rising trend, the original lot of real estate in the cellar to the originally penniless homeless people, some basic consumer goods are in great demand, related to the people's livelihood grain, salt, cotton cloth is still supplied by the comprehensive stores, other industries have gradually become prosperous, and wait until next year to divide more than 500,000 acres of land, after the tunhu has the income of ziji, the scale of consumption in Dengzhou will be even more expanded.

Tunpu has an advantage in Pingdu Prefecture, not only the vast majority of tenants have gone to Tunpu, but even the local households are constantly taking refuge, because they find that as long as they enter Tunpu, they will immediately have a big backer, and the gentry and government will not dare to bully again, and the taxes will be much less, and the extra military service will not be done in vain, and the income of the soldiers is still the highest.

The life of the small and medium-sized landlords in the countryside of Pingdu Prefecture is the most sad, because the tenants and domestic slaves have run out, and the remaining land is uncultivated, and the displaced people from other places may be able to trick them into farming for a while, but sooner or later they will be able to get the news, and then they will flee, and after entering August, Dengzhou Town has set up roadblocks in the difāng of various roads to recruit tunhu on the spot, and it has cut off the human resources of the tenants, and the life of the local remnants of the gentry has become difficult, and the land does not want to be sold, but there are no nàme people to cultivate, The only way to grab manpower is to reduce the rent, but Dengzhou Town has to divide the land and have someone to rely on, so even if the rent is constantly reduced, they still can't recruit enough tenants.

So Liu Min is in a very relaxed mood, this year's basic investment in Tunpu has been done, and it is time to collect rent next year, the current population has reached 400,000, and it should reach 500,000 in the spring of next year.

At this time, after hearing what Chen Xin said, he couldn't help but glance at him and said, "You don't want to be an official?" What are you doing with your life and fighting, haven't you been pursuing an official position since you came to the Ming Dynasty. ”

"So, mǎshàng is about to be promoted to the end, as soon as the general's seal is hung, he is really a general, and the office of the Fifth Military Government has also come to an end, and in the future, he will be promoted to three young and three lonely shime with the civil official, how boring." Chen Xin is also drinking with soybeans, "At present, the military attache of the Ming Dynasty is not worth much, when he goes to the general army of Dengzhou Town, at most he is the general soldier between the military towns, and the other channels above, Zu Dashou broke into a big mess, and only took out the Zuo Du Governor and the young master, and canceled a hereditary Ningyuan hundred households, and even the seal of the general of the Liao Expedition was not removed, and then look at Wu Xiang, two hundred and seventy heads returned to the regiment to train the general soldiers, Zhang Chunke really guarded the righteousness in vain, and was used by Wu Xiang as a shield all day long. Now Wu Xiang, the first official to run, has been reinstated, and he, who has been beaten to the end, has become a prisoner, so where can he serve the public. ”

Liu Min thought of that Wu Xiang, and he also shook his head in his heart, this person must be more than enough to be a businessman. After returning to the Liaoxi official to reinstate his post, he hurriedly sent someone to send a gift to thank him. Even Liu Min has a copy, which is a cyan horse. Liu Min is very fond of it, and plans to change it to a daily mount, this kind of gift is very elegant, you can see it almost every day, and you can think of Wu Xiang at any time.

He was still a military general guarding the border passes, and he bought back more than 200 heads, and reported to the military department that he was attacking Jiannu at night in Karaqin and dividing his troops. The heads are all real, and the battle of Changshan has been reinstated by Zu Dabi, Zu Dale and others who were demoted, and even Zu Dashou has been restored to the hereditary line of Ningyuan's hundred households.

Liu Minyou sighed and said: "Wu Xiang didn't say that he should be a business partner, if you fight in the future, don't go with him, I'm afraid Zu Dashou will be much better." ”

"Zu Dashou? He has two brushes for fighting, but he also has a bunch of relatives with Huang Taiji, and I don't go with him with the rat. ”

Liu Minyou grabbed the information from the Jingshi and looked at it and said, "The Liukou are coming, once they get rid of the mountain restrictions on the border of Shanxi. If you enter the plains, most of them will transfer you to fight the Liukou, and maybe you will also meet Zu Dashou. Hey, Zhang Dahui also destroyed a nest of spies in Jiannu......"

Chen Xin tossed a soybean up. He opened his mouth and said: "Zu Dashou will not enter the customs, once he is caught, he will cause the division of the Guanning army, and he is very qingchu about this." So don't worry I'm going to run into him. This time, I sent Song Wenxian to Beijing, and anyway, I am sure that we will suffer heavy losses in Fuzhou. There is also Jinzhou Lushun to defend, if we want to transfer us to fight the Liukou. Then give me 2,000 horses, and add an official position to Dengzhou Town. ”

"Oh? You still want an official position, isn't it the end? ”

"I'm asking for my subordinates, I'm now the chief soldier of the seal, and it doesn't hurt to promote one or two ordinary general soldiers under my subordinates. Actually, I want to fight the rogues, the wider they flow, the more our army can expand its influence, and we will also travel at public expense, and the seeder propaganda team will be a little. ”

Liu Minyouziji picked up tongs and added charcoal to the brazier, although the ice and snow were flying outside, the inside of the study of the General Soldier's Mansion was as warm as spring, and the body was also very warm after drinking sorghum wine.

He came back after adding charcoal and said to Chen Xin: "What kind of general soldier do you want?" ”

"Dengzhou Town Regiment trains the general soldiers, with this general soldier, see who still impeaches Lao Tzu to train the reserve soldiers." After Chen Xin finished scolding, he spat into the brazier......

With a "peeling" sound, a few sparks emerged from the brazier, and a piece of charcoal that had not been burned through collapsed, and Huang Taiji méiyou paid attention to it. He had just returned to the Shenyang Palace, and the army was still two days behind, and the first thing Huang Taiji did when he rushed back to Shenyang was to visit the seriously ill Tong Yangxing (Note 1), and then recruited Li Yongfang, the head of Fushun.

The gray-braided man who pioneered a traitor in the late Ming Dynasty sat respectfully at the bottom of the table, with two plates on the small table in front of him, namely cheese and saqima, both of which were their traditional dim sum.

Li Yongfang surrendered in Fushun in the 46th year of Wanli, and was the first Ming army border general to surrender. However, Tong Yangxing is the daughter of an old slave who married, and Li Yongfang is only the daughter of Abatai, unfortunately, not to mention ugly, he died very early, and he hung up two years ago, and Li Yongfang had to be widowed.

He just surrendered shihou, the old slave trusted him for a period of shijiān, and later Aita's incident in Fuzhou, the old slave was suspicious of all the Han people, Li Yongfang said two words for the Han people in Fuzhou at that time, hoping that the old slave would not kill indiscriminately, but was angrily reprimanded by the old slave, and then gradually fell out of favor, plus there were constantly new Han officials and fresh blood to join, Huang Taiji was also more interested in cultivating Ziji's civil official system, Li Yongfang's ability and propaganda effect were lost, and gradually faded out of the post-Jin political arena. This time Huang Taiji's summons of Turán really flattered him.

Huang Taiji said with some sadness: "The forehead in the West House is seriously ill, I am afraid that it will not be long, and it reminds me of the past for many years. ”

Li Yongfang pretended to shed two tears, in fact, Tong Yangxing did not think that Ziji was a Han Chinese, and later his descendants also made up a joke, saying that Tong Yangxing has always been a Jurchen, and even the ancestors have made up their dreams, in short, it is to prove that Comrade Tong Yangxing is the authentic Zhenyi.

Li Yongfang didn't believe that Huang Taiji was looking for him to talk about the cultivation of sex, he had already seen through the face of the Houjin nobles, and Huang Taiji was a person who only recognized interests, acting with a purpose, and then disguised himself with a coat, since it was said that Li Yongfang was called to be nostalgic, it must not be nostalgic.

"I also remembered that the fast son-in-law who caressed his forehead back then was called Wu Changchun. He also made great contributions back then, do you remember? ”

Li Yongfang heard what was going on, wiped his tears and said, "How could the slave forget, it was Wu Changchun who went to find Liu Bao, the military department of the Ming Dynasty, and the Tang newspaper of the Ming State Military Department was on the desk of Lao Khan for a few days, how many soldiers there were, when and where, it should be clear, and later Changchun bought a prostitute Li Fenger, settled in the Beijing Division, bought the military department of the Beijing Division, replaced a martial arts resume, and saw that he was going to get the position of garrison, but he was betrayed, and Changchun was arrested by the Ming State...... After being killed by Ling Chi, the slave recalled that even though it was many years ago, he was also sorry in his heart. ”

Huang Taiji called him over, just to ask about it, he was in Karaqin's shihou unexpectedly reported, a fine den of the Beijing division was taken by an unknown person, this is the second Beijing division den they have been cut off, needless to say in Dengzhou, the chaos at the beginning of the year, the rebels don't care if he has a méiyou background, the entire Dengzhou intelligence network is broken.

And the persecution of Dengzhou Town was like a step, Huang Taiji thought about it, or asked Li Yongfang to go out of the mountain, bijing He has been in charge of the intelligence system of Houjin, and has played an important role in the previous battles. Wu Changchun, who I just mentioned, is Li Yongfang's son-in-law, and is also the most outstanding comrade of the Houjin spy front, who was active in Beijing during the Apocalypse, he is very familiar with the officialdom of the Ming Court, and he almost succeeded in replacing the surname Yang in the camp, so that he can become a leading general, enter the Ming army, and finally was arrested and arrested by Dongchang, and Ling Chi was executed.

Huang Taiji asked Li Yongfang: "I remember that the news of Wu Changchun was sent to Pingdu Prefecture, and then sent to Niuzhuang through Liaohai, not through Ningyuan and other places. ”

"Yes, Chahar was still there back then, and it was not easy to walk outside the mouth and in western Liaoning, but it was here in Shandong, and it was even more rongyi after going to sea."

"Are the people in Pingdu Prefecture still there?"

Li Yongfang hesitated for a moment and said: "That person's name is Chen Yijing (real person), Wu Changchun's news is sent to other places, he has a shop, a big boat and a small boat, and it is very rongyi to send letters back and forth." When Wu Changchun was arrested, Chen Yijing disappeared. ”

"Oh, I see." Huang Taiji looked disappointed.

Li Yongfang Zhidào Huang Taiji is not in a hurry to Beijing now, but afraid of Denglai, he hurriedly said: "However, there are other ways for the slaves, there are many old people sent to Dengzhou Pingdu and other places back then, and several shops in Dengzhou have suffered this time, but the people should still be there, but they have cut off contact." The minions all knew these people, and the minions were willing to go to Dengzhou to help the Great Khan rebuild the eyes and ears of Denglai. ”

"Okay." Huang Taiji laughed loudly, "Fushun's forehead is full of loyalty, and I will let Bayan enter the palace tomorrow on duty, and I will have my own reuse." ”

Li Yongfang liked this fifth son the most, and at this time, he knelt down and kowtowed: "The slave thanks the master Longen, although he is powdered, it is not enough to repay in case." ”

Huang Taiji gently helped him up, "Be careful all the way, Denglai has become my Dajin's henchman, but the people's hearts are not aligned, there are still many people who think that it is a disease of ringworm scabies, and the forehead is here to visit Mingbái's army, salary, and armament, and secondly, to find the anomalies of the new Chen, whether there are signs of rebellion, and in the future, you can find some Ming officials to strategize in the Ming Kingdom." ”

"Wow."

Note 1: The shijiān who died of Tong Yang, recorded in the Qing history manuscript as July of the sixth year of Tiancong, in fact, he was still there in the New Year's gift of the seventh year of Tiancong, and on the seventh day of the first month of the seventh year of Tiancong, he also gave Huang Taiji Shangshu and Han official matters, and there are errors in various encyclopedias on the Internet. It should probably be hung up in the first half of Tiancong's seventh year, and at the end of the sixth year, it is inferred that he is probably very sick.
