"What the hell! Bibai, that grandson actually rebelled?! This turtle son can be regarded as provoking trouble, and Lao Tzu can finally leave this living prison! ”
On the eighth day of the third month of the twentieth year of Wanli, Li Rusong, who had just returned from the three major battalions of the Beijing army, shouted excitedly as soon as he entered the door and heard about the rebellion in Ningxia.
I don't know whether the road was deliberately done by the imperial court, or someone secretly manipulated it behind the scenes, after arriving in the capital in the second year of Wanli, Li Rusong led several times to return to Liaodong to follow his father Li Chengliang to fight against the Mongols. But most of the time he stayed in the Shenji Battalion, and the official was the right deputy general, but the court did not have the slightest intention of letting him leave the capital and return to Liaodong, and even had a hint of house arrest.
Li Rusong, Xu Wei and others also had no choice but to pretend to be grandsons in the capital, and at the same time secretly sent people to buy and plunder the firearms craftsmen of the Beijing army in the capital, and these people would board ships in Tianjin and send them to the Philippines to expand the land of the dangerous mountains overseas.
In the tenth year of Wanli, Li Rusong realized that this was a good opportunity for him to express his loyalty, so he secretly met Wanli through the help of Xungui. expressed his willingness to help the royal family with all kinds of difficulties: all Zhang Juzheng's family and henchmen were sent to the bitter cold land of Liaodong to serve as laborers in dangerous mountains.
And Wanli, who had long hated Zhang Juzheng, accepted this matter gladly. You must know that when Zhang Juzheng was alive, Lu Dao once forced Wanli to issue an edict against himself, and Li Rusong, who was just a guard in the Forbidden City at that time, actually took the initiative to come forward. To dissuade Zhang Juzheng's actions, it is best to be in the case of being put in prison by Zhang Juzheng. It didn't let Zhang Juzheng's goal be achieved.
Later, with the help of Feng Bao and others who were bribed, as well as the persuasion of Zhang Siwei and others. Although Zhang Juzheng released Li Rusong, he demoted him to a pawn in the Beijing army. In this regard, Li Rusong showed a willingness to work hard, and it was not until Zhang Juzheng died in the tenth year of Wanli that he was reinstated.
The next 12 years of idle life not only did not strain Li Rusong's will, but made him more determined in his dream: to replace the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Juzheng is dedicated to the people, which of those Jiangling Party members is not dedicated to the people? The result? Just because Zhang Juzheng monopolized power when he was alive? Then it doesn't need to hurt his family!
In the final analysis, whether Zhang Juzheng abused power or embezzled, it was fundamentally because his reforms touched the interests of some people. These people didn't dare to do anything when Zhang Juzheng was alive, but after he died, they frantically took revenge on Zhang Juzheng's family. And those Gangneung Party who are dedicated to the country and the people!
"This country has begun to rot from the roots, Zhang Juzheng just cleaned up the superficial things, and leave those deep ghosts and ghosts to me!" After arranging the affairs of the Jiangling Party and Zhang Juzheng's family to avoid disasters and dangerous mountains one day, Li Rusong once again stood in front of Wang Shouren's portrait and stood all night.
"Major General! There is a holy decree "Just when Li Rusong was thinking about this battle of Ningxia, how he could take the opportunity to get rid of the life of house arrest in the capital and jump into the sea, Xu Wei walked in and said.
"Oh?! Hehe, it looks like we should live in a different place. This house is directly used as a pig farm! Hearing this, Li Rusong smiled, patted Xu Wei's shoulder and said.
The Battle of Ningxia was the first battle of the three major campaigns of Wanli: that is, the suppression of the Bibai Rebellion. Bibai was originally a Mongolian, and he descended to the Ming Dynasty in Jiajing, and he was promoted to command the capital. Wanli was a guerrilla general at the beginning. There are more than 1,000 standard-bearers, who are autocratic in Ningxia and save their lives. The seventeenth year of Wanli. As the deputy chief soldier, the son of the successor to the post. Nineteen years. Huoluochi and other troops were in an emergency, and Emperor Wanli asked himself to lead 3,000 people to help. To Jincheng, see that the soldiers of each town are out of it, and take the road outside the road on the way back, and the soldiers also avoid it, because of the arrogance, there is a light heart at home and abroad. On February 18, 20 years, Bi Baiyin entangled his son Chengen, Yizi Biyun and Tu Wenxiu, etc., to instigate the military Feng Liu Dongyang to rebel, kill Dang Xin and his deputy envoy Shi Jifang, set fire to the office, collect the seal, and release the prisoners. coerced the commander-in-chief Zhang Weizhong to report the "drastic change of salary" with the party's Xin, and asked for the imperial seal, but Weizhong hanged himself. After that, Dongyang claimed to be the chief soldier, with worship as the mastermind, Chengen and Xu Chao as the deputy commander-in-chief, and Tu Wenxiu and Biyun as the left and right generals, occupying Ningxia Town, and sacrificing sacrifices. Troops were sent to Zhongwei, Guangwu, Yuquan Battalion, Lingzhou (now Lingwu, Ningxia) and other cities, but Pingyu could not hold on. The rebels also used the Xuhua Machi area to listen to their herdsmen as bait, and with the help of the Mongolian leader Zhu Litu, the power of the army became stronger and stronger, and the whole Shaanxi was shaken.
A guy like Bibai, the general of the Ming army was not his opponent at all, and the area around Ningxia was an important base for the Ming Dynasty to raise horses and form cavalry, so the imperial court must quickly quell the rebellion. And this is exactly the opportunity that Li Rusong is looking forward to, it depends on whether Wanli's grandson is interesting enough.
Fortunately, this time the mean and unkind Wanli did not disappoint Li Rusong: Li Rusong was promoted to the Ningxia General Army as he wished, and the Zhejiang Daoyu Shimei State supervised the army, and supervised the elite border troops of Liaodong, Xuanfu, Datong, and Shanxi, as well as the Miao soldiers and Zhejiang troops under Deng Zilong and Liu Ting to encircle and suppress.
"Hehe, Mr. Xu is leaving tomorrow. Please run an errand, call the porridge over, the kid will cook it himself, let's have a drink tonight. I haven't killed anyone for several years, and I'm about to go crazy" After sending off the eunuch who passed the decree, Li Rusong stretched his waist and said with a smile.
Calling a Liaodong Iron Cavalry guard who was responsible for protecting him, Li Rusong handed him the letter he had written overnight, and after giving him some instructions, he hurried back to Liaodong to deliver the letter.
"Well, the three major campaigns of Wanli, the three major battles of the Ming Dynasty that greatly damaged their vitality are finally about to begin. It's time for my plan to start acting, Bibai, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Yang Yinglong, you must not let me down! Sitting alone in the room, looking at the portrait of Wang Shouren, Li Rusong was full of admiration.
Eleven years of house arrest, I have relied on a belief in my heart to support it, whether it is Zhang Juzheng's cross-fertilization, degrading himself to an ordinary soldier in the Beijing army, or the news that wild boar skin has been growing in Liaodong for more than ten years. All this is tormenting Li Rusong all the time, he is anxious, scared, and at a loss, he is eager to return to Liaodong, where he has struggled and fought for decades, and fight for countless Ming people in Liaodong.
"Huh, Master Yangming, let's see, how Rusong realized the unity of my confidant. Let everyone of the Han people live and work in peace and contentment, and let my Chinese dragon stand at the top of the world! Exhaling the turbidity in his chest, Li Rusong said slowly to Wang Shouren's portrait.
Being a time-traveler is undoubtedly painful at some point, and he can't tell anyone what he thinks in his heart, because it is easy to be suspicious or even alienated. Li Rusong knew that the wild boar skin of the road would become the biggest disaster of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and he decided to slaughter the wild boar skin desperately at the beginning, even after being transferred to the Beijing army, he has been constantly ordering Liu Changchun and Chen Cheng, and even Bai Suxin's White Lotus Sect, to send killers to assassinate the wild boar skin.
But it's a pity that there is a thing called the will of heaven that is difficult to violate, the wild boar skin miraculously escaped countless assassinations, and befriended the nobles in the court and the corrupt officials in the court. In Liaodong, he gradually conquered all the Jurchen tribes, and began to have a tendency to have a big tail, Li Rusong understood that he and the wild boar skin would have a battle in the future, and the battle of Salhu seemed inevitable.
The Three Great Expeditions of Wanli were crucial to Li Rusong, and according to history, he would participate in two of them, which was a godsend for him to dominate Liaodong and completely get rid of the control of the imperial court. It is also an important step for him to realize his dream and slaughter the mud.
"Hehe, Wanli old thing, Zhang Siwei, that idiot, you should treat him as a baby, do you know that Lu Dao does not know that his father Zhang Yunling, and those moths behind them, are about to hollow out your country? You're still hiding behind the scenes to control the ministers? Be honest as a stallion in the harem, waiting for me to cut off your head" smiled coldly, Li Rusong stretched, and his face was full of that cynical smile.
In Li Rusong's view, no matter who he is, as long as he harms the people of the world for his own selfish desires, then such a person should die. This is the belief in the unity of knowledge and action that he has spent ten years to comprehend, and it is also his understanding that the Ming Dynasty is not a reform at all, but a bottom-up revolution that completely destroys something that should not exist. This is the way to truly save the Ming Dynasty, and the descendants of the ancient dragon in the East should also send their own cry to the world! (To be continued......)
