People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Wang Tong's wife is pregnant, and she is in a good mood, but after reading this document, she has such a big reaction, which really shocks Hou Zhen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The thing said in the newspaper was really so serious, Hou Zhen really didn't think it was like it, but after seeing it, he felt that it might set off a storm, so he took it.
"So that Du Tang knows that this document was sent three days ago, and it was directly filed as usual, but because it was greeted, it was seen by his subordinates."
In order to ease the atmosphere in the room, Hou Zhen bowed down and said something gossipy, lowered his head to pick up the scroll, and put it in front of Wang Tong respectfully, Wang Tong stared at Hou Zhen a few times, and said in a deep voice:
"You did a good job, although you will mention a thousand households in the experience division in a few days, but this is not the end, do it with your heart, you may not be able to do things and know the same knowledge, no matter how bad it is, you can put a thousand households in a separate station."
Hearing this, Hou Zhen hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed and said:
"It's just the duty of the lower officials to do this, Dutang is so gracious, the lower officials should be loyal to the end!!"
The experience division was originally a few hundred households in parallel, Hou Zhen posted Wang Tong tightly, and stood in line early, Wang Tong promoted him to be a thousand households, which was regarded as letting him take care of the experience division, but this sentence promised a more ambitious future, and now the four positions of Jinyiwei's command and command are all vacant, saying that if Hou Zhen is willing, he can go further.
Hou Zhen finally understood that this errand he did this time was really in line with Wang Tong's mind, and the benefits would be unlimited in the future, this is close to the New Year, and there is such appreciation, it can be regarded as double happiness, and this face can't help but bring a little joy, the scroll is put back on the table, Wang Tong flipped through the two pages, closed it again, and said after being silent:
"The documents on this matter are prepared together, and they will be sent here before dark tomorrow, if there is anyone in our army who is familiar with the situation in Liaozhen and outside the Guan, call an old man to come over and question, these things must be kept secret, you understand!"
"Please rest assured, the lower officials understand!"
Hou Zhen kowtowed again, Wang Tong waved his hand to signal Hou Zhen to go down, picked up the scroll on the table, and looked at it again.
The things mentioned in the document are not a big deal, it is said that the enemy of a Jurchen chief is under the protection of the Liaozhen guardhouse, this Jurchen chief has swelled in power in the past two years, and began to ask Liaozhen for this enemy, and the military general of the Liaozhen border defense was forced by the pressure of this chief to hand over this enemy to this chief.
This incident did not appear in the chapter or any official newspaper, but was recorded by the eyes of the Jinyi Guard there, and then sent to the Yamen of the Jingshi Jinyi Guard.
Even Jin Yiwei, who recorded this incident, did not think that this matter was important, because the main content of this document was that the Jurchen Hao chief regularly praised the Li family for the mountain goods, various kinds of furs and ginseng outside the Guan, and these goods were sold to the mainland for huge profits, which was a kind of bribery by the border generals.
It is estimated that the reason why Hou Zhen chose this document is that it says that Li Chengliang's father and son have had close contacts with this Jurchen chieftain and received a large number of goods, and there are rumors that Liaozhen has sold this person's armor privately, but there is no solid evidence for this.
However, Wang Tong, the name of this Hao chieftain, has heard of it, Wang Tong's historical knowledge is really lacking, in this era, he knows the name Wanli, Zhang Juzheng is not too impressed, Feng Bao is even more vague, not to mention others, but he has heard the name on the scroll.
……
The name of this Jurchen Hao chief is Nurhachi......
After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, who was still the king of Yan at that time, established a capital command envoy outside the pass, which governed the vast area of Baishan and Heishui, and was called the Nuergan Division.
This place under the jurisdiction of the capital command envoy is from outside the border wall of Liaozhen to the east and north to the vast area of the sea, this place is still a wild land in this era, full of deep mountains and old forests and swamp wetlands, the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty are not suitable for stationing here, so according to the disposal of other remote places, the local ethnic tribes and thousands of households are divided.
Naturally, in such a place, a Wei will naturally not be full of more than 5,100 men, and almost 2,000 tribes can have this title.
Among these guards, there are Jurchens, and there are also ancient people, probably the strong and weak are distributed according to the distance from Liao Town, and the closer the distance, the more opportunities for looting and trade, then the richer, the farther the distance, the fewer opportunities, and the poorer the nature.
In the past, it was the Taining Department in Duoyan Sanwei that dominated here, but the Taining Department was already weakened and abnormal because of the continuous blows from Liao Zhen, and it couldn't take the table.
Generally speaking, the Jurchen tribes and the ancient tribes of the Men and the ancient tribes here respect the Ming Dynasty as orthodox on the bright side, and they are also obedient ministers, in fact, the various tribes are based on the ancient tribes of the Men and the ancient tribes in the grasslands of northern and western Liaoxi as their suzerains, and now the orders of the king of Horqin Khan can pass between the white mountains and black waters.
Among these tribes, there was a Wei that was relatively powerful and wealthy among the Nuergandusi, and this Wei was called Jianzhou Wei.
Speaking of the word tribe, many scholars of the Ming Dynasty immediately remembered the nomadic scene of thousands of miles of grasslands and looking down to see cattle and sheep, in fact, most of the Jurchen tribes outside the Guanxi were engaged in farming, fishing and hunting, they raised pigs and farmed the land, fishing and hunting, and compared with the farmers in the Guan, they got a lot of militarized and semi-military cooperation and training because of fishing and hunting.
Jianzhou Wei is also doing this, but unlike other health centers, Jianzhou Wei's business is particularly developed, because his location is too advantageous.
Jianzhou Wei and Daming are both adjacent, and the trade part of the Ming is completed by the official tributary mission, but this mission is controlled by the domestic aristocracy and bureaucracy, and in the Ming Dynasty, it is also trade with the wealthy merchants and magnates, and the people are rarely able to share the profits.
But barren, the profits from foreign trade are extremely important to the people, so many private businessmen have thought of other ways to go to Jianzhou Wei to trade, through the trafficking of Jianzhou Wei to the Ming Dynasty.
Over time, Jianzhou Wei became a trade transit station, and there were more and more people engaged in commerce and trade in the Jurchen departments of Jianzhou Wei, and some people bought mountain goods and specialties from all over the north and east, and sold them to the merchants of the Ming Dynasty on the Jianzhou Wei side, making profits, and it was also rich and abnormal.
Because of the wealth, the Jianzhou Wei is much stronger than other tribes, and there are three Weilai, and this Nurhachi is the commander of the Jianzhou Left Guard.
Jin Yiwei is quite effective in collecting information on important places in Beijing, and he is not so attentive to the collection of various places in the frontier, but it is better to accumulate, and there are still a lot of relevant information to find, and Jin Yiwei can be mobilized in other places, which is also an advantage.
The experience of Si Hou Zhen on the second day almost mobilized the relevant documents, when he asked for information from other yamen, it was not only for Liaozhen and Jianzhouwei, others also found his intentions and purposes, and the Jinyi Wei on duty in Liaozhen was not found, but Sanjiang Commercial Bank found a few merchants who often went there, and introduced them together.
After Wang Tong got the papers, he was still in the house on the first day, but on the second day, he went to Li Wenyuan's duty room, and the duty room of the Public Security Department was set up in the area of South Street, and Li Wenyuan was in charge, and they were all Wang Tong's most closely related people, and this was the most reassuring place.
The matter on Jianzhouwei's side is very complicated, and there are many allusions, in fact, this name appeared in Wang Tong's field of vision, which surprised Wang Tong, and Wang Tong wanted to understand it in as much detail as possible.
Jianzhou Wei was rich, and the Jianzhou Jurchen tribes were also arrogant, and the ancient departments often went to the Ming Dynasty to plunder, and they also followed, or acted in small groups in private.
But the border soldiers of Liao Town are also fierce, and after Li Chengliang called the general soldiers of Liao Town, the border soldiers of Liao Town are even more invincible, and then this looting and burning is reversed, and the border generals of Liao Town often go to the Jianzhou Wei area to loot, and sometimes cut and kill the head as a military merit.
The foreign tribes are as fierce as tigers and wolves when the Ming Dynasty is weak, and they are docile as sheep when the Ming Dynasty is strong.
The commander of the right guard of Jianzhou rebelled, the Jurchen nobles of Jianzhou Wei were all intertwined, and they were in-laws of each other, the commander of the right guard of Jianzhou was the grandfather of Nurhachi, since he rebelled, Li Chengliang, the chief soldier of Liaozhen, naturally wanted to send troops to exterminate, and this guard station was at most mobilized 1,500 men, how could they resist the elite of Liao Town, the walled city of the right guard of Jianzhou was breached, and several rebel generals led by him were killed.
The son of the commander of the Jianzhou right guard fled into the walled city of the Jianzhou left guard, the Jianzhou left guard is Nurhachi's side, the uncle ran over, Nurhachi's grandfather and father naturally wanted to take it in, in fact, the rebellion of these Jurchen tribes is mutual communication with each other, one is against it, and the other family does not make a name, but it may not be that it does not help.
Such a walled city, in Li Chengliang's eyes, is just a sesame thing, daring to take in the rebels, naturally exterminated Lisuo together, as a result, the walled city of Jianzhou Zuowei was also breached, Nurhachi's father and grandfather were also killed in the battle, Nurhachi and his brother Shulhaqi were captured.
The nobles of all the Jurchen tribes have the habit of going to Liaozhen to serve as a personal soldier servant for the Li family, which is a kind of proton, this Nuerhachi was a domestic servant under Li Chengliang's door back then, and he was also regarded as some old acquaintances in Liaozhen, and he was taken back to Liaozhen by the captive, and he was let out.
After escaping back to the Jurchens, the desperate Nurhachi brothers entangled their former subordinates and began to rob their homes, and they also created heroes in the times, Nurhachi's power swelled rapidly, and now, most of the Jianzhou Wei departments have been conquered by him, and Nurhachi has also become a force, and he can do it to talk to the border generals of Liaozhen about the conditions.
