Chapter 224: Who is the minister?
"Damn it! Li Rusong's son is so rampant, he is simply lawless and disappoints the emperor's grace, the governor of Pontus must play His Majesty and let him dismiss his office! ”
Liaoyang Weiliao General Military Mansion, Liaodong Jingluo Yang Hao slapped the table, and said with a righteous and awe-inspiring face, and the heads of the Liaodong wealthy families who surrounded him stepped forward one after another, beating their chests to express their admiration and support for Lord Yang.
Yang Hao, in the twenty-fifth year of Wanli (1597), he was appointed as the imperial history of the right capital, and in the twenty-fourth year of Wanli (1596), Japan invaded Korea, and the following year (1597) was ordered to assist the military affairs of North Korea. In the twenty-sixth year, the Ming army was defeated in Ulsan, but the defeat was not reported, and he lied about his military exploits, and was dismissed and replaced by Wan Shide. In the thirty-eighth year, he reinstated the governor of Liaodong and repeatedly commanded the army to defeat the invading Jurchens and Mongols. After retirement. In the forty-sixth year of Wanli, the Jianzhou Jurchen openly rebelled, and the soldiers broke Fushun, and after the ministers would push, Mingshenzong took Yang Hao as the right attendant of the military department to pass through Liaodong. In February of the following year (1619), Yang Hao sent 88,000 Ming troops, 10,000 Korean troops and more than 10,000 Jurchen Yehe troops to attack the Jianzhou Jurchens in four ways, and tens of thousands of people as reserves. The commander-in-chief of the four-way attack army was Shanhaiguan General Soldier Du Song, Liaodong General Soldier Li Rubai, Kaiyuan General Soldier Ma Lin and Liaoyang General Soldier Liu Ling, with Juniper Department as the main force, Ma Lin as the North Road Strategy, and Li Rubai out of Qinghe Fort as a surprise soldier; Liu Ling was brave and good at fighting, but he was at odds with Yang Hao, and was sent to the East Road, where he went deep alone. The Fourth Route Army attempted to "divide and attack", but due to Juniper's outrage of the enemy, it was ambushed at Salhu (present-day Fushun Donghun Henan, Liaoning), and the whole army was annihilated, and Marin was defeated and fled to the plains. Liu Ling died in the battle of Abu Dali Gang, and Li Rubai retreated in a hurry and trampled on each other. This was the defeat of Sarhu, the Ming army lost more than 40,000 people, and the Korean army surrendered. This is the "Battle of Sarhu". Soon after, the frontier towns of Kaiyuan and Tieling in northeastern Liaoning were lost one after another, and Yang Hao was impeached by the Imperial History, so he was imprisoned, and Xiong Tingbi, the squire of the military department, was appointed as the manager. He was killed in the second year of Chongzhen (1629).
In this time and space, Yang Hao was not reused, and he still took the path of Zheng Guifei in the court, which became the strategy of Liaodong. He thinks he is extraordinary. pointed fingers at the Liaodong Army all day long, as if all the outstanding military exploits made by the officers and soldiers of the Liaodong Army before were lying about the military exploits, and he Yang Hao was the real loyal minister.
Those Liaodong wealthy families who were suppressed by Li Rusong were overjoyed when they saw this scene. took refuge in Yang Ho. Behind his back, he made a stumbling block for Li Rusong. One by one, they cried and told Yang Hao: how Li Rusong was arrogant and domineering in Liaodong, forced to rebel against the Jianzhou Jurchens, and embezzled and accepted bribes. The people of Liaodong who are harmed are not able to make a living, and so on. It is as if they oppressed the people, smuggled weapons, colluded with the Tartars, and killed hundreds of people in the past, so that they were the real pillars of the country and the people.
And Yang Hao didn't care about the bad deeds of these wealthy families before, nor did he care about the heinous crimes committed by corrupt officials and corrupt officials who colluded with the wealthy families, he only had his own power in his eyes. His current goal is only one to make Li Rusong stink, to play the emperor to remove Li Rusong from his official position, and make himself the real master of Liaodong, rather than a puppet manipulated by Li Rusong.
At that time, he Yang Hao can rest assured that he will boldly embezzle military salaries, accept bribes, and ensure that his career will be prosperous, as for whether the Tartars will take the opportunity to rise, and whether the people of Liaodong will be ruined and their wives will be separated because of this, Lord Yang can not care about these mud legs:
Who are you, the people? It's just a stepping stone for us to increase officials, get promoted, make a fortune, and win a clear name. As for the imperial court, why don't you ignore you? What the court needs is us literati and doctors, you people deserve to die!
This is just like Li Zicheng and others rebelled back then, while many Donglin Party members condemned Li Chuang and others for rebelling, they could actually say why the people couldn't be loyal to the monarch and patriotic and sit at home waiting to starve to death, instead of the chaotic people who wanted to participate in Li Chuang, they were really a group of Diao people!
In their eyes, the people are just tools in their hands, saying that they are for the country, the people, and the people, but in fact they are the real culprits who are the ones who trap and oppress the people. If it weren't for these literati saying one thing and doing another, full of benevolence and morality, and a man and a thief and a woman behind their backs, how could the Ming Dynasty forget?
Seeing Yang Hao's face full of excitement, walking around loudly counting Li Rusong's guilt, and when the wealthy family on the side was busy fanning the flames, a voice full of banter suddenly sounded:
"Is it fun to dream a few people? I didn't expect the old man to be an official in the same dynasty as you Yang Hao, an incorruptible and shameless person, what a shame! ”
With vigorous steps, Zhang Xueyan walked in, followed by dozens of powerful Liaodong iron knights behind him.
"Zhang Xueyan! Didn't you be sent to Liaodong by His Majesty's order to do hard labor, and you met bandits on the way and your whole family was killed? How could it be possible to be here, well! Old thief, you have already colluded with Li Rusong, a courtier who has no king and no father, the old man is going to uphold justice today, expose your guilt and others, and wait for the next prison to be cut and beheaded! Seeing Zhang Xueyan, Yang Hao was startled at first, and then said ecstatically.
Yang Hao himself actually knows very well that the large number of things he just said have no practical effect, and at most he will give Li Rusong a little trouble. And Li Rusong, relying on his great military exploits, as well as his huge power in Liaodong, and his backstage connections in the court, will not be harmed at all, but will hate himself and launch revenge. Yang Hao wondered if he would rush to the gate for refuge after joining Li Rusong.
But now the appearance of Zhang Xueyan undoubtedly gave Yang Hao a good opportunity: Wanli's most hated thing was the Jiangling Party, but he was desperate to deal with the Jiangling Party, and Li Rusong also mentioned that the emperor carried the black pot and "killed" the Jiangling Party, which was the only way to get a generous favor.
Now that Zhang Xueyan, who is already dead, is still alive, isn't this the best evidence that Li Rusong has a ghost in his heart and deceives the saint? This Li Rusong obviously wants to rebel!
"If this matter is known to the saint, not only will this Li Rusong be beheaded all over the house, I'm afraid that none of the officials and generals of the dangerous mountain system will survive. My Yang Hao's exploits are incomparable: to see through the face of Li Thief's ministers in time, set things right, and discover the conspiracy and rebellion of Liaodong, it is simply a great achievement that has never been seen before or since! Yang Hao, who was secretly happy in his heart, was secretly happy at this time, and one thing he ignored at this time was Li Rusong's territory!
"This guy is really an out-and-out stupid worm of the country, full of nothing but party strife, and nothing practical for the country and the people. Alas...... After Zhang Xiangye's death, the country is really hopeless! Maybe Li Rusong is the one who can really save this country, we old things didn't bet on the wrong treasure" looked at Yang Hao who was jumping up and down a little helplessly, Zhang Xueyan smiled coldly and said:
"Someone! Investigating Liaodong Jingluo Yang Hao and the eighteen families of Liaodong Hao, including Wang, Shen, and Tong, have no monarch and father, are incorruptible and shameful, corrupt and pervert the law, and wantonly occupy people's land in Liaodong to harm the people, oppress the good and reverse, and reverse black and white, causing the people of Liaodong to suffer unspeakably. He also colluded with wild boar skins and other Tartars, resold ordnance and materials, and raised his own respect, causing wild boar skins to collude with Tumen Khan and invade Fushun City. Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Liaodong were killed, and countless property losses were lost. Li Rusong, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, discovered in time that all 584 people including Jinru were arrested and brought to justice. However, Yang Hao and others were frenzied, and when they saw that the matter was exposed, they actually tried to be poor and dagger to see it, and conspired to incite the soldiers to rebel, and Li Rusong, the general soldier of Liaodong, had no choice but to send troops to quell the chaos and maintain the unification of Zhu Ming's country anyway. Yang Hao and other five hundred and eighty-four main criminals were all killed on the spot, and the first class was sent to the capital! ”
After speaking, Zhang Xueyan didn't look at the frightened faces of Yang Hao and the others on the other side, waved his hand, and the Liaodong Iron Cavalry behind him pulled out the war knife on his waist without hesitation, and rushed towards Yang Hao and the others.
"Spare your life! We don't dare, I'm willing to give all my family wealth and let me live! ”
"Ahh Help me! ”
"Don't come here! I don't dare! Please, get around me! ”
At this time, the patriarchs and other people of these Liaodong Hao clans woke up like a dream, and they desperately kowtowed and begged for mercy one by one, but in the face of the Liaodong Iron Rider with a strong heart, their begging for mercy was doomed to be useless.
The Liaodong Iron Cavalry waved the war knife in his hand without hesitation, and killed and cut when he saw someone, without the slightest hesitation. They only know that these fat pigs with fat brains and big bellies have been colluding with the Tartars to oppress the people and harm poor people like them all these years, and now they are actually framing Major General Li Rusong!
If the major general is harmed by these eight lambs, they will be the next unlucky to lose, and they will lose the protection of the major general. These big-headed soldiers are like duckweed without roots, they have no power to resist at all, and their land and wealth will be easily taken away by these corrupt officials and female businessmen.
So in their eyes, these guys are damned! Dare to frame the major general in a vain attempt to destroy their good life, these people must die no matter what they say!
"Don't kill me! You rebellious ministers and thieves, I am the Liaodong Jinglu of the imperial court, ah! With a terrible scream, Yang Hao's head was directly cut off!
"Hehe, who is the minister. When the time comes, there will naturally be a public opinion! (To be continued......)
