Chapter 378: Sharpening the Knife and Cows and Sheep (8)
Dasu wants to steal the credit?
Ning Wan thought so instinctively, but there was no dissatisfaction, but nodded happily and ordered the entourage who came to report the news: "You go and tell Lord Dasu that I will bring someone over immediately." ”
After the entourage who reported the news went, Zheng Deqing said with some envy: "It seems that King Khan really attaches great importance to this matter, and even sent Dasu, he is a first-class hero of our Eight Banners." Brother Ning, this time the big thing is done, I am afraid that you will have to go to the next level in Dajin Kingdom, and you can't say that you can still carry it to real Manchuria. ”
"Hehe, the yellow flag is out of the Aobai, the yellow flag is out of Dasu, this is the luck of the Khan King, the luck of Dajin, since ancient times, the emperor of the great cause must have a good appearance and fierce generals, now look at my Dajin, Jun Ming and the sage, is not it the favor of God, so that I Dajin talent is like a cloud." Ning Wan and I also looked proud, and I regarded myself as a "good look" in my words, and I was quite yearning for it: "The Khan King has clear rewards and punishments, and this real Manchurian matter may not be impossible." (Author's note: The real Manchurian here refers to the Eight Banners of Manchuria)
"Seeing that Brother Ning is complacent, the foolish brother is very sour. But Brother Ning has to be careful with Dasu, Kong Youde led his troops to vote is a great achievement, if you ask Dasu to rob it, you won't work hard to make a wedding dress for others. ”
"It's okay, this matter was given to me by the King of Khan, and I was in charge from beginning to end, Dasu just wanted to show off his existence, and by the way, he shared some credit, but this big head must still be mine."
Ning Wan I didn't worry about Da Su stealing the merit at all, I was in a good mood, I smiled and said a few words to Zheng Deqing, and took him to Da Su. The two fishermen also followed closely at Zheng's signal.
On the way, Zheng Deqing casually asked, "By the way, how many Eight Banners soldiers did Dasu bring?" ”
Ning Wan smiled and said: "King Khan is in the west to conquer Mobei Lin Dan Khan, how can there be the Eight Banners Army sent to me, as long as Dasu leads ten swinging tooth lamas to escort me to Jinzhou." ”
"Just ten?" Zheng Deqing's mouth opened, and he looked a little surprised.
"How?" Ning Wan didn't think much about it, and said proudly: "One person in Manchukuo can beat ten Han soldiers, and this swinging tooth is the elite of the Eight Banners, and the warrior among the warriors, one person is not uncommon compared to a hundred Han soldiers." With these ten swinging tooth lamas escorting, and in my Dajin territory, you say that I will be in some danger. Besides, I only came to answer Kong Youde and them this time, and I didn't fight against the Ming army, so what do I want so many soldiers and horses to do. ”
"That's the same, it's really invincible in Manzhou." Zheng Deqing nodded in agreement, and after a while, he arrived at the compound where Dasu lived. This courtyard used to be the house of the commander of the Jinzhou Wei in the Ming Dynasty, and after the Jin army occupied Jinzhou, this courtyard was vacated for the use of the generals of the Eight Banners. The original owner was the leader of the eight banners in the city, but after Dasu came, his little leader naturally wanted to give up the land to the Khan King's swinging teeth.
There were already a few Goshha Hou there in the concierge, and I didn't lead people in directly, but politely asked Goshha to go in and report. Zheng Deqing saw it on the side, and he was a little disapproving, Ning Wan and I am also an important minister of the Jin State, how can I be cautious about the subordinates of these banner people.
Ning Wan and I stood there honestly, but I didn't notice that Zheng Deqing and the two fishermen looked at each other. After a while, Goshha came to inform them that they could go in. Ning Wan I was busy taking people in, he had come to this yard many times, and he was familiar with the road, and soon arrived at the living room.
In the living room, Dasu sat on a chair with a big teapot in his hand, and the leader of the Manchurian Eight Banners stationed in Jinzhou, Barla, and the two Niu Lu leaders of the Han Army Banner, Ge Mingchang and Li Peiguo, were also present, and the Mongolian soldiers' leaders Wu Ri were also present. Da Su was talking and laughing loudly with them, and when I saw Ning Wan, I immediately got up and asked, "Ning Wan, there is news about what you are waiting for?" Catching a glimpse of Zheng Deqing and the three people following behind, he asked again: "Is it them?" ”
After Ning Wan nodded, Zheng Deqing took the two fishermen to kneel down and said cautiously: "General Yu, the villain's name is Zheng Deqing, and he came here under the entrustment of Kong Youde, and the last two are the envoys of the Ming generals Mao Chenglu and Geng Zhongming. ”
"Who is Kong Youde?" Balla hadn't heard of the name, so she asked curiously. Da Su is not too clear, only listened to Ning Wan I said a few times, and he doesn't know much about this Kong Youde. Mao Chenglu, the name of everyone here has heard of it, without him, there are a few people in this big gold who don't know Mao Wenlong, and even Mao Wenlong's adopted son Mao Chenglu naturally knows a little more.
Ning Wan nodded at Zheng Deqing, and Zheng Deqing hurriedly said: "Kong Youde is the Gaizhou clan of our Dajin, and he is a world friend with the villain. After Mao Wenlong was killed, he was transferred to Shandong and served as a general under Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai of the Ming Kingdom. When the Khan besieged the Daling River last year, Sun Yuanhua received an order from the Ming Dynasty and ordered Kong Youde to reinforce Zu Dashou from the sea, but encountered a storm on the way and almost died. After returning to Dengzhou, he asked him to lead 800 men to reinforce from the land, and he was reluctant to do 100. When they reached Wu Bridge, their salaries were cut off, and the soldiers mutinied.
Kong Youde's pacification was ineffective, and he was afraid that the court would ask him for guilt, so he simply led his troops to revolt with Li Jiucheng. He raised the banner of righteousness, and the response gathered in large numbers, and quickly developed into an army of more than 50,000 people. All the way to Dengzhou, Lianke Linyi, Lingxian, Qingcheng and so on. And with Geng Zhongming, he cooperated with the outside world and captured the important town of Dengzhou in Shandong, and the world was shaken. However, the Ming Dynasty sent a large army to encircle and suppress them, Li Jiucheng called the Ming army to kill, Kong Youde was outnumbered, and Geng Zhongming and Mao Chenglu led the two generals to break through the siege and defect to Dajin from the sea. During this period, he gave books to the villain many times, begging the villain to mediate. These are the letters written by Kong Youde to the villain, and this is a letter to the king of Khan. ”
"Oh, and letters?"
Da Su hurriedly took the letter handed by Zheng Deqing, and he didn't dare to read it for the Khan King, so he put it aside, and the ones written to Zheng Deqing took it and read it. Mrs. Hong attaches great importance to the education of the Chinese language of the guards around him, so that Dasu can also understand the Han Chinese script.
Over there, Mao Chenglu's envoy and Geng Zhongming's envoy also handed over the letters that they were willing to surrender, and Dasu didn't have time to read it, so he handed it to Ning Wan and me. I don't know Geng Zhongming's handwriting, but Mao Chenglu's handwriting is recognized, and when I opened it, I found that it was indeed Mao Chenglu's handwriting, and I couldn't help but be even more convinced.
Da Su also glanced at the ten lines, and after quickly browsing the letters, he put the stack of letters on the table, and looked at Ning Wan, who nodded and confirmed, and couldn't help but laugh "Ha Lu Ha", and said to Barra: "Kong Youde really came to invest in our big gold, and it was not in vain that I went all the way to Jinzhou." ”
Barla and the others were urgently summoned by Dasu, thinking that something big had happened, but they didn't expect that they would return tomorrow. Seeing that Dasu was very happy, Balla was a little disappreciative and said: "It's just that he will return tomorrow, and our Dajin's Ming Dynasty generals have more seas, so he is not one of them, is it worth the Khan King Xingshi to send the adults here?" ”
"If you come down tomorrow, you can take it from the lowly position, where do you want to work adults?" Ge Mingchang also said.
Saying this, Da Su suddenly felt that things didn't seem to be a big deal, there were too many generals in Shenyang City in the Ming Dynasty, and it didn't seem to be unusual.
Ning finished seeing me, for fear that Da Su would not pay attention to it, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "My lord, the Ming staff generals Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Mao Chenglu led more than 10,000 people, with more than 100 warships and more than 300 cannons, and came to my Dajin, and are now waiting for our response on Huangcheng Island on the Zhenjiang Sea. Please let me know if you will accept it. ”
Zheng Deqing added, "When the villain left Huangcheng Island, they had already gone to sea, and now they are afraid that they have arrived at Shuangdao." ”
"What?! More than 300 cannons! ”
When Balla, Wu Rigen, and Ge Mingchang heard this, they all stood up, and their eyes were red: I've made a fortune, I've made a fortune now!
Da Su couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart: obediently, I didn't expect that Kong Youde was still a rich man! This Golden State is the right one, it's the right one!
Seeing that Dasu and Balla all had greedy faces on their faces, Ning Wan secretly shook his head and said, "The soldiers and cannons brought by Kong Youde are certainly gratifying, but have you ever thought about it, since my Dajin expedition to the Ming Dynasty, has the Ming army come to surrender on such a large scale?" ”
A sentence stopped Da Su, Balla and they thought for a long time and found that there was no, the current Ming Dynasty generals were all captured, Tong Banchao and Li Yongfang did not seem to bring tens of thousands of people at a time, hundreds of cannons to surrender, so to speak, this Kong Youde is indeed the first time since the founding of Dajin.
"No, never." Da Su affirmed categorically.
Therefore, this time, Kong, Geng, and Mao returned to obedience, and the enlightened army took the initiative to surrender on a large scale, which is of great significance. Do you remember the Battle of the Great Ling River? The soldiers of the Ming army would rather starve to death than submit to obedience. What a price we paid in order to recruit the ancestor Dashou! Zhang Chun, who is now locked up in the Sanguan Temple, still refuses to surrender. It should be not easy to make the generals of the Ming Dynasty submit. Now, Kong and Geng have returned, indicating that the evil consequences of Erbeiler's original massacre of the city in Guannei are gradually disappearing. The generals of the Ming Dynasty are no longer afraid of our Dajin, and maybe there will be more Ming troops to vote from now on. ”
The more I talked, the happier I became, but I didn't notice that the messenger who was kneeling on the ground suddenly moved his fingers.
Thinking of a point, Ning Wan and I happily said to Da Su and them: "Kong Youde is familiar with water warfare, there are more than 100 warships, and they are quite influential in the Ming army around Phi Dao. ”
After listening to Ning's analysis, Da Su suddenly nodded, and said to me with a little praise: "In the end, it is our Dajin's bachelor, that is, to see farther, yes, yes, we can't just look at the immediate interests, Kong Youde's return to our Dajin is indeed of great significance." Barra: They were also busy.
After Ning Wan, I said again: "By the way, we can also write articles under Kong Youde's surname Kong." The surname Kong in the world is a family, Kong Youde must also be after Kong, the Han people respect Confucius as a saint, and Confucius has been loyal and filial piety and benevolence all his life, and now the descendants of Confucius are returning, which shows that the ethical edifice of the Southern Dynasty is collapsing, and our Dajin just took the opportunity to make a big splash, so that everyone in the world knows that the Ming Dynasty is not good, and the people's hearts have been scattered. ”
Li Peiguo, the leader of the Han Army, had read for a few days, and he disagreed with Ning Wan's opinion, he shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate." Confucius talked about loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and now Confucius is virtuous and rebellious and returns to gold, which is contrary to the way of Confucius and Mencius. ”
Ning Wan said with a smile: "Otherwise, Confucius and Mencius talked about loyalty to the monarch, but they also talked about loving the people, and advocated revolution for the abuser Mencius, so Tang Faji, King Wu was vain, and Mencius said that he was a lone husband, and he did not hear of killing the king." The return of Kong Youde shows that the descendants of the Kong family are in the Shuntian Dynasty, and they are promoting the revolution of Confucius and Mencius, which is a great time! The descendants of the Kong family, who have always advocated loyalty to the monarch, can all carry the Ming and return to the gold, why can't others?
When the Khan prince returns, we Dajin can seize this opportunity to engage in a large-scale respect for Confucianism, and first, we can unite the hearts of the Han people who have returned to obedience; Second, we can further educate the military and civilians in the country with the Tao of Confucius and Mencius; Sanke can show the Ming people our attitude towards the way of Confucius and Mencius, which will definitely attract more Han people to return. Why not? ”
"The scholar is worthy of being the wisdom of our Dajin, no wonder King Khan values you so much." Da Suha smiled, Ning Wan said that the methods I said are not for him to call the shots, for now it is better to quickly pick up the people and artillery, if the news is leaked and intercepted by the Ming army in the Dongjiang River, it will be a waste of previous efforts.
"Zheng Deqing, this will be the personal soldier of Tiancong Khan of the Dajin Kingdom, this is the scholar of the Inner Hongwen Academy of our Dajin Kingdom, and now the two of us are here to accept the return of General Kong Youde, you can quickly bring the news back, and I, Dajin, will allow General Kong's fleet to land in Wanghai Fort in Jinzhou."
After saying that, Dasu instructed me again: "Oh, by the way, the scholar can write back to them and bring it to them." ”
Facing Da Suyi's commanding appearance, Ning Wan did not have the slightest anger at being robbed of power, but agreed with a smile on his face. For the specific details, Da Su didn't bother to ask, so he would rather be fully responsible for me, anyway, this matter is also his errand. I took Balla and them to drink.
After agreeing with Zheng Deqing on the specific matters to be met by landing at Wanghai Fort, in order to prevent long nights and dreams, I sent people to send them to sea the next day, and then began to collect grain and grass for more than 10,000 people to eat, and sent people to urgently return to Beijing to report to the left-behind Da Belle Daishan.
