The five Qincha adults arrived in Quang Ninh for three days, among which Yang Lian was one step earlier, he was in Quang Ninh for more than four days, and there was no idle moment. Lao Wei only checked for one day, and the rest of the time he drank tea and chatted with Zhang Ke and Wang Huazhen about the military situation.

can be so leisurely, the reason is very simple, Zhang Ke's military exploits have not been cheated in the slightest. After counting, there are only a lot more Tartars annihilated, and there is no moisture in the big victory!

However, the victory is too big and troublesome, and this old Wei began to worry.

"The captured flags, knives and guns, war horses, and severed heads are all easy to handle, and they can be loaded into a car and brought back. But what about the captured Tartars? Fifteen or six thousand people, eating, drinking, and Lazar cost a lot, and it is thousands of miles away from Beijing, who knows if there will be problems! ”

Wang Huazhen nodded and said, "Gonggong Wei's concern is reasonable, but what should be done with these captives?" ”

Wei Zhongxian closed his eyes slightly, suddenly raised his hand, and crossed his neck.

"Our family thought they were all killed, and it was most convenient to bring a head!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Ke was frightened, he killed thousands of guilty Tartars, and he felt ruthless! Lao Wei is about to kill them all with one mouth, he is ruthless, and he is much more powerful than himself!

"Father-in-law Wei, the lower officials think it's better not to kill." Zhang Ke smiled: "It's not that I pity the Tartars, it's just that my emperor has just ascended the throne, and some of them think that the saint is chong ling and practicing Zuo, so they act recklessly." You might as well hold a grand ceremony to sacrifice prisoners to boost the morale of the army and the people, and let the world return to the heart. If this can be done properly, the Holy One will definitely trust his father-in-law even more. Just imagine, what a feat it should be for several Mongolian Taiji to line up together and kneel down in front of my emperor's car! ”

The successive dynasties of China have all had good faces, and great victories have always been the only way to improve their morale. In particular, Zhu Youxiao has just ascended the throne and his foundation is unstable. The Ming Dynasty had two more emperors in a row, and it was in need of a big victory. Boost prestige and boost morale. Zhang Ke's construction is just in time!

Imagine what a scene it would be for tens of thousands of Tartar captives to line up and send them into the capital!

As soon as the haze was swept away, the prosperity of the apocalypse began, and the little emperor should be so happy. If he, Lao Wei, is fortunate enough to handle this matter, then his prestige will not rise suddenly, at least he can completely suppress Wang An!

Thinking of this, Lao Wei rubbed his hands excitedly.

"Well, Yongzhen said it well! It's just that the sacrifice ceremony will cost a lot of silver, so I can't hide it. The household department of the imperial court is empty, and the silver in the inner treasury has to reward the soldiers, I am afraid that I will not be able to get much money! ”

"Father-in-law, don't worry!" Zhang Ke said with a smile: "The reward of my Yizhou soldiers can be postponed temporarily, and I will offer another 3,000 taels of gold to assist the father-in-law in the ceremony of sacrificing prisoners!" ”

"Really?"

Wei Zhongxian grabbed Zhang Ke in surprise, he hadn't seen anyone who took the initiative to push rewards out! What's more, this reward is still exchanged for life, and it is justified!

"Yongzhen, our family knows that you are loyal to the country, but the soldiers work hard to kill the enemy. Can't help but appreciate. It is unjustifiable that you were born and died without receiving a reward, and that you offered gold to the Holy One. ”

Lao Wei only thought that Zhang Ke was too loyal. Knowing the hardships of the Guangning War, Lao Wei was reluctant to ask for Zhang Ke's money.

"The prisoner sacrifice ceremony must be held, but we can't use the money to reward the heroes, let's find a way."

"Thank you Gonggong Wei for your kindness!" Zhang Ke smiled: "Father-in-law." There is so much silver, and the palace may not be able to get it. As for the courtiers, they will not be willing to spend a lot of money to raise the generals. ”

"This is the face of the saints. Let's see who wants to be this traitor, come out and stop it! Although Lao Wei said so, he also calmed down, no need to ask, those clear gossip officials who advocate thrift must oppose it, even if it is the cabinet level, it is not easy to break through.

Lao Wei paced back and forth on the ground, his mind getting more and more confused, and he couldn't think of a way.

Zhang Ke and Wang Huazhen glanced at each other and exchanged glances.

"Father-in-law Wei, the lower officials have something to say!" Wang Huazhen said: "Gonggong Wei, although the victory of Guangning was won, but my Ming army and people suffered heavy losses, why did the Tartars enter the Kou, the real culprit should always be found out!" ”

"That's right! How did we forget! ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "That one is called Shuotuo, he escaped from the edict prison and ran to the grassland!" If Yongzhen hadn't stopped him and captured him back to the capital, my Daming would have become a joke, and this matter must not be let go. Lord Wang, do you have any clues? ”

"Yes!" Wang Huazhen was cautious, and when she reached Wei Zhongxian's ear, she said a few words.

Lao Wei's face changed greatly, and his fingertips trembled unconsciously.

"So, is this serious? How dare they do that? ”

Zhang Ke chuckled and said: "Father-in-law Wei, people die for money, birds die for food, and some people dare to take risks for the sake of silver, and sell my Ming Dynasty soldiers and the safety of the society!" Such a moth must not be let go, and I implore my father-in-law to uphold justice and arrest the Jin merchants involved in the case! In this way, there is no need to worry about the silver needed to sacrifice the captives. ”

Wei Zhongxian really had the heart to agree, but when he turned his head and thought about it, he hesitated again, this father-in-law Wei, who was deeply favored by the emperor, was actually afraid!

"Yongzhen, you have a problem for our family! Although the old Xi'er are not visible, but when the imperial court levied business taxes, a large group of people jumped out, and the power was so great that you could not imagine it, and we would never be able to take it down with our family alone. ”

Wei Zhongxian shook his head helplessly, he was self-aware, he wanted to move Jin Shang, let alone him, even the emperor might not be able to do it, the water was deep!

Lao Wei retreated, all of which was expected by Zhang Ke.

"Father-in-law Wei, the Jin Party has a strong foundation, and the minions are deeply hidden, and a rash attack will definitely not end well, but ......"

"But what?" Wei Zhongxian asked curiously.

"But, don't we have a cannon, just let him fire it!" Zhang Ke said with a smile.

"Yang Lian?" Lao Wei blurted out: "Yongzhen, he is staring at you, how can he do things for us?" ”

"Hahaha, this favor Yang Lian has helped!"

……

On the fourth day of Guangning, Wei Zhongxian invited all the messengers, including Yang Lian. Yang Lian has not been idle these days, he carefully questioned the people, investigated the before and after the battle of Quang Ninh, and counted all the heads and prisoners. Double-check and look for loopholes.

If there is no problem on the battlefield, find something else, whether there is poisoning the people, whether there is empty salary and greedy for military supplies...... I checked and checked, but I found nothing!

Is there any such irony!

Worked hard for so long. Unexpectedly, a loyal and patriotic, brave and resourceful general was found!

It's like making wedding clothes for others. Compared to receiving a few slaps, it made Yang Lian uncomfortable, but the huge fame also determined that Yang Lian couldn't talk nonsense with his eyes open.

Yang Lian, who was huffing, sat by the door, turned his head to look at the door, and didn't look at Wei Zhongxian at all.

Lao Wei didn't care, and said: "Everyone, we have been in Guangning for four days, and the master has given us half a month." It's time to go back and give the decree! How Zhang Ke and Wang Huazhen fought, everyone also knows that the victory of Guangning is a rare victory of our dynasty, which is the great blessing of the master and the result of the soldiers' lives. If the big guy has no objections, here is a piece of music, and the master will be played together! ”

Zhu Qi was the first to agree, Cui Chengxiu and Wenqiu didn't say anything, they both signed their names.

"Lord Yang. If you have other ideas, you can also play the Holy Ones alone! Old Wei said coldly.

"Humph!" Yang Lian's face darkened, he wrote his name on the fold, turned around and left. Qi hummed and left the hall, stepping on the cobblestone floor, Yang Lian walked directly out.

"Lord Yang, please stay!"

Yang Lian turned his head sharply. I saw a young man wearing a moon-white cotton robe, bowing down and standing aside.

"It's you!" Yang Lian looked at it in astonishment, it was no one else. It's Zhang Ke!

"Lord Yang, I don't know if I can ask you to talk alone!"

"I don't have anything to talk to you about!"

"Are you scared?"

Yang Lian sneered angrily: "The old man has been upright and self-reliant all his life, and he never knows what he is afraid of!" ”

Zhang Ke shook his head disapprovingly, and said, "Lord Yang, ask yourself, after checking in the past few days, is Zhang Ke a traitor?" ”

"Lu Yao knows that the horsepower has been in the hearts of the people for a long time, and the old man does not dare to make a decision, but if Zhang Ke has any evil actions, he will definitely not escape the eyes of the old man!"

"Hahaha, Lord Yang, I got acquainted with Huang Ziqiao, and when I went to the capital, I met Li Ruhua, Zhou Jiamo and several other ministers. has always admired the characters of the Donglin faction and never dared to slack off. Mr. Yang, why are you Zhang Mou's revenge, please explain! If you don't teach and punish abuse, you should always give an explanation! ”

"This!"

Yang Lian was indeed asked, just two months ago, the Donglin Party also said that they wanted to win over Zhang Ke and make him an ally in Liaodong. But on the issue of An'er, Donglin made a mistake. For the sake of face, Zhang Ke was suppressed at first, and then Yang Lian was sent to deny Zhang Ke's military exploits.

From beginning to end, it was the Donglin Party that took the initiative, and Zhang Ke just suffered from the unjustified disaster!

Seeing that Yang Lian was asked, Zhang Ke suddenly smiled and said, "Lord Yang, you are jealous and hateful, and Zhang admires it." I have a shocking case here, and I want to ask Lord Yang to administer justice! ”

"Looking for me?" Yang Lian smiled: "Why don't you look for Wei Zhongxian, didn't he help you speak?" ”

"Lord Yang, Zhang can only trust you in this matter, if you don't want to bear it, Zhang can only rot things in his stomach!"

Yang Lian's eyes forced Zhang Ke, this young man looked sincere, faced calmly, and was not afraid at all.

"Okay, old man, I want to see what tricks you play!"

Zhang Ke led the way in front and led Yang Lian into a small courtyard. There is a tall and thin man waiting at the door, this is the "Lord of Yama" Yan Shuqin!

He led Zhang Ke and Yang Lian to the small courtyard and to the side hall.

Yang Lian looked up suddenly, and saw a person hanging on the wall, covered in mottled blood, some of which were already black, some of which were still dark red, and the exposed skin did not have a piece of good flesh, and it was all broken.

"Zhang Ke, what do you mean? Want to scare the old man? ”

"How dare you!" Zhang Ke said and took out a stack of confessions and sent them to Yang Lian.

"Lord Yang, the Tartars of the Flower Fry and the Celestial Empire have always been peaceful, why did they suddenly enter the Kou in a big way? Here's the secret! ”

Yang Lian was suspicious, took the confession, only read a few pages, and suddenly panted like a cow and trembled!

"What a big dog guts, it's not enough for them to let Shuotuo privately, they even colluded with the Tartars to invade the Ming Dynasty, sit back and watch the lives be ruined, and there is no word Wang Fa!"

"Lord Yang said it well, this person's name is Wang Hong, and he is the lackey of the black-hearted businessman, I don't know if Lord Yang dares to play this matter to the court?"

Zhang Ke sneered: "Lord Yang, if you just know how to stare at Zhang Ke, but you don't even turn a blind eye to the real sinner, you might as well take back the signboard of honesty as soon as possible!" (To be continued!)
