Chapter 295 Passing on the Jade Seal of the Country
[Today's second update, summon the guaranteed monthly pass in the hands of friends~]
Yang He's suppression of bandits did not receive financial appropriations from the central government at all, and he relied on his collection of grain and taxes from local prefectures and counties. Now that the tax exemption was one, the common people refused to pay grain and money, and Yang He's army of 200,000 soon fell into a difficult situation.
wanted to ask the court for money, but Deng Haonan asked Yang He to go back and talk. How could Yang He not know that after going back to talk, his military power would be gone.
But let's not talk about it! He doesn't have enough military rations for ten days now, and something will happen sooner or later!
Yang He was very depressed, his son's 100,000 forbidden army was absorbed by Deng Haonan, and if his 200,000 border troops were taken back again, then their Yang family would have no support.
"My lord! King Fu and King Chu respectively sent people to send 10,000 taels of silver and 20,000 stones of grain for the labor army! ā
Deputy General Luo Xian happily took the gift list and handed it to Yang He.
Yang He frowned, looked at the gift list, and asked, "Nothing to offer is either a traitor or a thief!" What words are left? ā
Luo Xian replied, "Don't you understand what King Fu and King Chu mean? Now that the Emperor of the Apocalypse has died, and the new Emperor Tongzhi has just been full moon, whether he can grow up and be pro-government, not to mention first, just the Prime Minister Deng Haonan, the King of Liao, is in power, this is what the royal family cannot tolerate! ā
"What's not tolerated?"
Yang He suddenly said unhappily: "The King of Liao was approved by the first emperor before his death, and the queen mother agreed to supervise the country, and the emperor is young, so naturally there must be powerful ministers to suppress the formation, otherwise it will not be chaotic?" ā
Luo Xian looked at Yang He in amazement, as if he didn't know him.
"My lord, how can you help Deng Haonan say good things? He has taken away the power of the son's army, and he is still ready to take away your military power? ā
"That's two different things!"
Yang He said: "Deng Haonan dominates the dynasty, and in the future, the young emperor will be in power, so naturally he will not have good fruit to eat!" But King Fu and King Chu had nothing to do at this time, but they didn't have a good heart! ā
Luo Xian nodded, he naturally knew that the two princes were not well-intentioned, but at the moment, from his point of view, he hoped that in this way, no one would have a hard time with the silver.
"My lord, King Fu and King Chu sent money, there may not be anything greasy, according to the general, it is estimated that it is too hard to see the adults suppressing the bandits, and I am moved to reward it with compassion!"
"!"
Yang He's saliva sprayed Luo Xian's face, maybe he hadn't cleaned his teeth and rinsed his mouth for many days, in short, it was so stinky that he almost vomited Luo Xian nausea.
"The old man has been in the officialdom for all these years, and he still can't see their little tricks? If you don't send it early, you won't send it, and it's weird if you don't get tired of sending it now! ā
"Go, give them all back!"
"Your Excellency!" Luo Xian was puzzled: "This is not good! That's two princes! ā
Yang He snorted coldly and said, "How is the prince?" If you want to rebel, the old man will be the first to cut them down! At present, the decrees of the King of Liao are all for the country and the people, and the Yang family has been loyal to the court for generations, and the vassal king must not be allowed to make trouble at this time! ā
Luo Xian knew that Yang He was a good official, but he said worriedly: "If we cut off the road of King Fu and King Chu, we will soon run out of military rations, and then we will have to obediently hand over the military power to the King of Liao!" Childe offended the King of Liao at the beginning, and the military power in your hands is the last talisman! ā
Yang He sighed and said, "That's no way!" The old man is worthy of the court, and the king of Liao can't treat our father and son? ā
Luo Xian sighed, so he had to go down to make arrangements.
At this time, suddenly the soldiers came to report, saying that the rebels had sent people to contact and agreed to recruit peace.
Yang He laughed and said, "Great! These chaotic people are willing to recruit peace, and the chaos in Shaanxi is fixed! ā
"Congratulations, sir!" Luo Xianxi said: "Shaanxi is pacified, the adults are indispensable, and the King of Liao has no excuse to transfer the guilt to the adults!" ā
The sky is endless!
Yang He rubbed his beard and smiled.
Yang He is known for his clear hope, after the defeat of Salhu, Yang He once said: "The loss of the Liao affair, unexpectedly, he lost his teacher and humiliated the country, and he was mistakenly in the strategy; If you don't know the opportunity, you will immediately urge the war, and mistakenly be in the auxiliary ministers; The dispatch is not heard, helpless, and mistakenly in the pivot. The supreme is constantly gentle, and the supreme is self-wrong". Yang He is an upright and good official, but he doesn't know the soldiers, and he is bent on taking care of them.
Historically, Yang He once pointed out that the rise of "thieves" was "always due to the extreme famine, and the people were not able to make a living". Yang He put forward the strategy of "appeasement first, supplemented by pursuit and suppression". Thanks to Yang He's efforts, the appeasement policy achieved some success, and almost all the rebel armies in Shaanxi accepted Zhao'an. However, due to the 100,000 taels of gold and the 50,000 silver and 20,000 stone of grain donated by the vassal king, "the salvation was not enough for eleven." After Shen Yikui and other thieves rebelled, the main forces of the imperial court rose and vigorously attacked Yang He's appeasement policy. Later, Yang He was taken over by the imperial court and was succeeded by Hong Chengchou.
Now, history has been changed by Deng Haonan. With Deng Haonan's tax-free policy penetrating into various prefectures and counties in the northwest, the arrogance of the rebels suddenly extinguished, and the common people did not have to pay grain and taxes to the government, and the rebels had no excuse to persuade the common people to rebel, but robbed the common people because of the lack of food. As a result, the common people began to dislike the rebels, and actively turned to the government to help them suppress bandits.
At the same time, most of the rebels are from ordinary people, and they are all poor. After learning about Deng Haonan's tax-free policy, he had no intention of becoming a rebel again, so three people in a gang of five broke away from the rebels in groups, and soon the rebels weakened.
At the same time, among the rebel leaders, many people did not want to really fight against the imperial court, and coupled with Yang He's policy of combining suppression and appeasement, they accepted Zhao'an one after another.
On September 13, the eighth year of the Apocalypse, 23 leaders of the three northwestern provinces gathered in Xi'an, surrendered to Yang He, and accepted Zhao'an.
The next day, the Ming army attacked the diehard Wang Daliang with the help of the leaders of the Liukou after Zhao'an, Wang Daliang led the army to resist, and was betrayed because his subordinates wanted to be recruited, Wang Daliang and Wang Erliang were killed in battle, and the three masters surrendered.
On September 16, Yang He swept down the rebellion in the northwest and wrote to the imperial court.
In the Liao Palace, Deng Haonan looked at Yang He's recital, and then opened the list of recruits sent by Yang He.
The list is: "Zijin Liang is also the head, the remaining eight kings (Zhang Xianzhong), King Chuang (Gao Yingxiang), sweeping king, Xing Red Wolf, black evil god, Cao Cao (Luo Rucai), King of Troubled Times, Chuang General (Li Zicheng), Crashing into the sky (Liu Guoneng), full of stars, Lao Huihui (Ma Shouying), Li Jin Wang, Dang Jia, Armor-Piercing Cone, Eight King Kongs, Mixed Heavenly King, Scorpion Block, Light the Lamp (Zhao Sheng), Do Not Stick to the Mud, Zhang Miaoshou, Bai Jiu'er, A Gust of Wind, Qilang, Da Yao Wang, Nine Dragons, Four Heavenly Kings, Heavenly Monkey (Liu Jiusi), Girl, King Qi Yao, Yingshan Red, Mountain Tiger, Cupola Pillar, Slippery in Oil, Yi Fierce Eye. ā
"This old man is really lucky!"
Lin Feng took it and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Yang He doesn't know the soldiers, and the bandits have been suppressed for several years without results, and now that the northwest rebellion has been quelled, he still borrowed the light of the prince." If there is no prerequisite for the prince to exempt the whole country from taxes, he is now ironclad in food and the army mutinies, and the prince will take him down and ask for the guilt! ā
Deng Haonan nodded and asked, "I heard that Yang He returned all the money and grain sent by King Fu and King Chu!" ā
"There's this!"
Lin Feng replied affirmatively: "Although this Yang He doesn't know soldiers, I have to say that he is a good official!" ā
"He is a good official loyal to the Ming Dynasty!"
Deng Haonan thought to himself, a good official is true, but he is not a good official under him, the more good officials this kind of, the more Deng Haonan is an obstacle!
"Yang He is nearly sixty years old, this time the triumphant class teacher returns to the dynasty, and the prince can let him return to his hometown!"
"That's for the best!"
Deng Haonan nodded and said, "If he doesn't tell the old man to return to his hometown, this king will have to guard against him, and it will kill him!" ā
Lin Feng said again: "Yang He handed over the military power of 200,000 troops to Liu Hu and returned to the capital alone!" After Liu Hu reorganized the 200,000 troops, there was no longer an army that threatened the prince in the country. ā
"What do you want to say? If you have something to say, say it! ā
"Yes!" Lin Feng said: "It's time for the prince to destroy the Manchu Qing and unify Mongolia!" ā
Deng Haonan asked: "Eliminating the remnants of the Manchu Qing is already a sure thing, and there is already a plan M against the Manchus in the War Department. But what about this unification of Mongolia? ā
Plan M was a military operation against the Manchus that Deng Haonan had already deployed, with the aim of completely annihilating the Manchus on the land of Liaoshen.
At present, the plan is progressing smoothly, and the Manchu army has been surrounded by the Ming army in the Shenyang-Fushun-Jianzhou area, and after Deng Haonan took control of the government, he ordered the final destruction of the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, completely recovering the land of Liaoshen and never suffering in the future.
Now that Deng Haonan had controlled the last potential military threat in the country - Yang He's 200,000 border army, Lin Feng had just ordered the implementation of Plan M to completely wipe out the Manchu Qing Dynasty and sweep away the scourge in the north.
It's just that Deng Haonan didn't understand what Lin Feng said about unifying Mongolia. In Deng Haonan's eyes, it is not easy to unify Mongolia, after all, the Mongolians have no fixed residence, and in the vast desert, the black armor elite rider may not be able to bargain.
This is also the reason why Deng Haonan did everything possible to prevent the Manchu army from withdrawing into the grassland desert, because it was too difficult to destroy the enemy in the desert, and it consumed huge national strength.
Lin Feng smiled and replied, "Has the prince forgotten about Zhai Sang and his relatives?" ā
Deng Haonan said: "Does Zhaisang still insist on harmony? He should hate us to death if he was beaten by us! ā
Lin Feng shook his head and said, "The prince should think like this!" After Zhai Sang was beaten by the prince, he knew that the prince was really powerful, so he sincerely took refuge in the prince! ā
"Is that okay?"
Lin Feng nodded, smiling without saying a word.
"That's not right!" Deng Haonan said: "Zhaisang is only a tribe in Horqin, even if it is close to the Horqin tribe, how can it unify Mongolia!" ā
Lin Feng smiled and asked, "Didn't the prince go and ask the fifth princess?" ā
The fifth princess?
Deng Haonan paused for a moment, and then remembered who this fifth princess was. At the beginning, he agreed to the peace conditions proposed by Zhai Sang, so Deng Haonan's subordinates changed their names to Hai Lanzhu as the fifth lady. Now that Deng Haonan is the king of Liao, Hai Lanzhu is naturally the fifth princess in their mouths.
It's just that the fifth princess has been in a bad mood recently, and she hasn't let Deng Haonan touch it until now.
Thinking of this, Deng Haonan smiled bitterly: "Horqin killed more than 20,000 people in the battle, her father Khan was injured and almost hung up, and Hai Lanzhu is angry with me at this moment!" ā
Lin Feng said: "Then the prince, you have to hurry up and make the fifth princess happy, only if she is happy, Mongolia is the prince!" ā
Mongolia? Can she be exchanged for the surrender of Mongolia alone?
That's an exaggeration, isn't it?
No! It's outrageous!
Looking at Deng Haonan's stunned appearance, Lin Feng hurriedly explained, "The prince doesn't know, this time the Manchurian and Mongolian 200,000 coalition troops were annihilated, and Huang Taiji and other Manchu core figures were all killed in battle, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty has already existed in name only. All the Mongolian tribes are not fools, this time they have learned the power of the prince, and it is almost a foregone conclusion that they will bow down and be a minister. ā
"What does that have to do with Hai Lanzhu?"
Lin Feng then explained: "Since ancient times, the position of the Great Khan of Mongolia can only be inherited by the Golden Family! Now that Lin Dan Khan is dead, the direct members of the Golden Family are broken. Therefore, it can only be selected from the collateral lineage. Although Zhaisang of the Horqin Department was also a side branch of the Golden Family, it was not his turn. The key is that Zhaisang will speculate and pass on the affairs of Hai Lanzhu and the prince to the Mongolian ministries. The leaders of the Mongol tribes wanted to take over the position of the Great Khan, and no one would let anyone, and when the stalemate was deadlocked, they thought of other methods. ā
Deng Haonan hurriedly asked: "What method?" ā
Lin Feng paused for a moment, and then said: "Zhai Sang said that he is your quasi-father-in-law, it is better to take refuge in you, the prince, in exchange for peace in northern Xinjiang." The leaders of the Mongolian tribes were originally mixed with the Manchus, but now that the Manchus are about to fall, they are all ready to find new backers, and the prince is the best choice. So the Mongolian ministries decided to elect Zhaisang as the Great Khan of Mongolia and prepared to respect the Ming Dynasty. However, the Chechen Khan was located in Mobei, far away from the Ming Dynasty, and he felt that the prince could not threaten him, so he did not approve of calling the prince a vassal. But the leaders of the various ministries had agreed, and the Chechen Khan did not dare to disobey the public opinion, so he proposed that whoever found the jade seal of the country would be the Great Khan of Mongolia, and who would decide whether Mongolia would be a vassal to the prince! ā
Heirloom jade seal?
Deng Haonan's eyes widened, and he suddenly guessed: "Don't tell me that the jade seal of the country is in the hands of Zhai Sang!" ā
"It's not in his hands anymore, but it's almost there!"
"What do you mean?"
Lin Feng smiled: "In the hands of the fifth princess!" ā
Burst!
Deng Haonan squirted out a mouthful of tea and coughed violently for a while.
"How could it be in her hands? She never mentioned it! ā
Lin Feng replied, "How did the prince meet the fifth princess when he remembered it?" ā
How did you meet her?
Deng Haonan suddenly fell into deep thought.
Thinking back to the bits and pieces with Hai Lanzhu, when I first met her, she was still a sloppy girl who was chased and killed. Then the Mongolian Khan Lin Dan died at her hand, and Hai Lanzhu saved Deng Haonan and didn't dare to go home, so she stayed by Deng Haonan's side from then on.
Wait a minute!
Deng Haonan suddenly thought of a question, the heirloom jade seal has always been in Lin Dan's hands, could it be that Hai Lanzhu stole Lin Dan Khan's heirloom jade seal?
"Could it be that during the last trip to the desert, Hai Lanzhu stole Lin Dan Khan's heirloom jade seal?"
"Not stolen!"
Lin Feng said with a smile: "At that time, Zhaisang promised the five princesses to Lin Dan Khan, but the five princesses objected, so Lin Dan Khan personally went to rob the relatives, but Lin Dan Khan sent someone to give the jade seal of the country to the five princesses as a dowry gift before robbing the relatives, hoping to make the beauty happy." Unexpectedly, the fifth princess received the jade seal of the country, but still escaped from marriage, and as a result, Lin Dan Khan was furious, so he chased and killed the five princesses everywhere, never dying! ā
Meow a!
After listening to it, Deng Haonan finally knew the truth, but he didn't expect this sloppy girl to play Lin Danhan like this, it was really angry and funny.
"The jade seal of the country is in her hands?"
Lin Feng smiled and nodded, and said, "That heirloom jade seal is ours, and the prince will definitely take it back, it is destiny!" ā
Deng Haonan knew that when Zhu Yuanzhang founded the Ming Dynasty, his only regret was that he did not pass on the jade seal. The Ming army's northern expedition to the desert was to find the heirloom jade seal brought into the desert by the Yuan Dynasty. But Mongolia was still strong at that time, and the Ming army could not destroy Mongolia, so the jade seal of the country was always in the hands of the golden family. After Lin Dan's death, it was obtained by Huang Taiji, and later Huang Taiji died violently, and the jade seal of the country disappeared. Dolgon made a fake, but it was not until the Qianlong period that the Qianlong Emperor, who was known for his tomb robbery, identified it as a fake.
"Heirloom Jade Seal" is based on "He's Bi". It is the seal of the emperors after the Qin Dynasty, and it is engraved by the order of Qin Shi Huang. Its square circle is four inches, on the New York hand over five dragons, the front is engraved with the eight seal characters of Li Si's book "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang", as a token of "imperial power, orthodoxy and legitimacy". Subsequently, the emperors of all dynasties took this seal as a symbol, and they were regarded as rare and precious as a heavy weapon of the country. If you get it, it symbolizes that it is "ordered by the sky", and if you lose it, it means that it is "exhausted".
Those who ascend to the throne without this seal are ridiculed as "white emperors", which appear to be lacking in confidence and are despised by the world. As a result, the people who want to seek great treasures are urged to fight for me, causing the jade seal of the country to change hands repeatedly, and it has been in Chixian County, Shenzhou for more than 2,000 years. However, it finally disappeared, and there is no trace of it so far, which makes people sigh.
Deng Haonan knew in his heart that the heirloom jade seal in Hai Lanzhu's hand was real, not to mention the symbol of "being ordered by the heavens to live forever", just to preserve the heirloom national treasures for China, it was also a great blessing in life!
Deng Haonan hurriedly got up and ran to the back hall, but he actually left Lin Feng in the study. In this regard, Lin Feng could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
Deng Haonan went straight to Hai Lanzhu's bedroom, but he pounced, and the waiter said that the four princesses were playing horses in the Huxin Pavilion.
Deng Haonan hurried to the Huxin Pavilion, and sure enough, he saw the four girls playing there. When the girls saw Deng Haonan coming, they all smiled, except for Hai Lanzhu, of course. When Hai Lanzhu saw Deng Haonan coming, her previous joy suddenly disappeared, and she was still angry that so many clansmen had died!
Deng Haonan coughed lightly, informed them to continue, the maid sent a stool, Deng Haonan chose to sit down next to Hai Lanzhu, there was no small talk, but unfortunately Hai Lanzhu deliberately ignored him, making him speechless.
Wanshu, Siyu and Wanqing knew the reason, and they all cast their eyes on Deng Haonan to support him spiritually.
There was no way, Deng Haonan had no choice but to use his killer trick - stalking and grinding and hard foaming.
