Chapter 135 [The Wolf is Coming!] 】

Su Meng'er refused to go to Hefu for the New Year, and Ao Bai no longer persuaded her, maybe the two could really only be partners. ^UC e-book is provided for free ^^ Marry Su Meng'er and enter the door? He didn't dare to think that the house would not overturn the genius monster.

It was a wonderful New Year, and exciting news kept coming from the border passes of the Ming army. The Eight Banners Army learned honestly and did not threaten the border pass and attack Ningyuan or other places. And Man Gui also led his troops to attack and harass several times before, and fought several battles with the Eight Banners Army, all of which were victorious.

On the contrary, the Jin State failed to loot supplies from the Ming Dynasty for a whole year, so they had to extort money from the allied "brother" North Korea. But this was far from enough, and the Jurchens, who had no food, almost degenerated into the state of a fishing and hunting people.

In winter, the river freezes, fishing is difficult, there are fewer animals in the forest, and the impact of the climate of the Xiaoice River on arable land has caused a crisis in Jinguo. It is no longer possible to attack North Korea like last year. Of course, they can destroy North Korea, but that won't do Kim any good. North Korea still has some strength, but it was intimidated by the strong Eight Banners. If they were really to be destroyed, the Koreans would resist desperately, and even if they were defeated, they would lose a lot of soldiers to the Eight Banners Army.

The main work of the Eighth Banner Army was to suppress the uprising. The Jurchen people in the territory could not survive, and the situation of the Han slaves was even worse, they had no weapons, and they rebelled one after another with hoes. Anyway, starvation is death, uprising is death, it's better to fight, it's better to kill one, and kill two to earn.

Huang Taiji has been in office for more than a year, and he has been in a mess, don't look at it as a big winter, this Tiancong Khan is sweating profusely every day. When the people can't eat, any means of convincing people with virtue and taking agriculture as the foundation will not come in handy. He originally wanted to try the production method of the feudal society of the Ming Dynasty to recuperate, but because of this, he had a disagreement with many slave owners who were Baylor and ministers. In order to alleviate the contradictions, he proposed the opening of the imperial examination at the suggestion of Dolgon, and used the decision of the Khan ministers to use the Han people to manage the Han people, but unfortunately the effect was also not good.

At this time, the Ming merchants started trading with the Jin State in Zhangjiakou again, although there was only one merchant, and the price was much more expensive than before, but it was already a lifesaver for the Jin State, and they did not hesitate to buy a lot of grain for the winter. The Lu family in Xinzhou made several times the profit as soon as they bought grain. And their most important income is not to sell grain, because the two sides went to war, Jianzhou's ginseng sold in the Central Plains is almost more expensive than gold, the shelf life of ginseng is limited, and the gold country will only rot if it can't be sold, so the Lu family also bought a large amount of ginseng at a low price, and when it came to the Central Plains, it was a huge profit. == .first. Hair ==

What the Jurchens couldn't imagine was that they were at this point where they were all worshipping in the capital. Ao Bai himself had not been to the border pass, and only made a few suggestions, which were enough for them to drink a pot.

First cracked down on the Jin merchants, and then monopolized the trade, seeing the opportunity of the Jin country having no grain in winter, so that its wealth flowed into the Ming Dynasty in a steady stream, seeking huge profits while creating a trade surplus, and making perfect use of the time.

The walls were clear, and the Ming army did not have a grain of grain outside the pass, so that they had no grain to grab, so that the four hundred miles outside the pass became a wasteland, and the land was destroyed.

With the above two items, there is no discord within the Jin Kingdom. In the long run, the Jurchens will not be able to support it for long.

The phrase "poor and short-minded" is applicable everywhere and in any era. Huang Taiji now has no ambition to win the world at all, and he is thankful that he can keep his old book.

Huang Taiji did not dare to lead troops to attack the Ming Dynasty again. The first thing Sun Chengzong did when he arrived at the border was to check the household registration, and all those who did not have a household registration were controlled. Many spies in the Jin Kingdom have been controlled, and it is no longer feasible to divide from within. Outside the pass, only one city was left in Ningyuan. If you want to storm Ningyuan, you will definitely kill a lot of people, and it will not be of any benefit to solve the current situation of the Jin Kingdom. Moreover, the generals who defended Ningyuan have been replaced by the Mongol Man Gui. The big people of the Jin Kingdom all knew Man Gui, and this person was completely different from Yuan Chonghuan.

Yuan Chonghuan never paid attention to any fighters, let alone tactics, no matter what Jin Guo did, he would stay in the city and never come out.

What about Man Gui? He dared to go out of the city and fight hard with the Eight Banners Army, and he did not fall behind. Not long ago, the Eight Banners Army had just sent troops to conquer Mongolia, and Man Gui immediately attacked Shenyang with his people, and the two sides fought several battles on a small scale, regardless of victory or defeat. As soon as Shanhaiguan increased its troops, Huang Taiji could only reluctantly order people to return to the division. As soon as they return, the Ming army will also retreat. Originally, only Mao Wenlong was harassed by one side, but now it has become two sides working together, and the discomfort can be imagined. Man Gui is brave and fierce, not afraid of the Eight Banners Army, and the veteran Sun Chengzong is also a stable type, sometimes reminding Man Gui that he will accept it when he sees it, and do not lure the enemy into the plan.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty also began to appear, and the Eight Banners Army was not so strong, and they could not afford to be injured at all.

Almost always for those who are prepared, the Jin country, which is at a disadvantage in the economy, now seems to have become a backup group for Aobai, and when they have a large amount of real money and silver flowing into the Ming Dynasty and have no money to buy food, there are only two ways left: desperate and surrender.

After Ao Bai received the news from Shanxi, he called his cronies Qi Bu to the house and said, "You watch the two brothers of the Sun family build a chain of crossbows every day, can you make them now?" ”

Qi Bu said: "Many people have learned, and Miss Su also said that as long as there are drawings, the craftsmen of the Salt Gang will definitely make it, but Childe is ready to produce in large quantities?" ”

Ao Bai took out a letter and said: "Let's produce, the cost of using iron arrows is too high, and buying iron in large quantities will also arouse the suspicion of the imperial court." You take a few people, take the samples and drawings of the chain crossbow, and go to Xinzhou, Shanxi. This letter to Liang Bin that I want to see a team armed with chain crossbows next year. ”

Qi Bu said: "Childe, please rest assured, I will be out tonight." ”

After the worship was arranged, he went to see the children, and when the two children fell asleep, he went back to the house with the ladies to chat.

Hai Lanzhu asked, "Over there in Shanxi, have you finished arranging?" ”

"It's over, it's all small things."

Yao Qianyu sighed: "This is a rebellion, you still say it's a trivial matter?" We are all in the capital, and if it is known, it will be a capital crime of the Nine Clans. You left the two brothers of the Sun family, do you trust them so much? ”

Ao Bai smiled: "I will meet people, it is impossible for them to betray me, this country has long been in ruins, and everyone is actually dissatisfied with the court, including those ministers." Even if he is a corrupt official, he can't get used to seeing anyone above who is more greedy than him. I can let them play their own strengths, and if they don't follow me, they will only be dull for the rest of their lives. Take the exam to be a showman, and be a teacher in the countryside, I don't know when I will be able to be promoted, let alone become an official. No matter how stupid they were, they couldn't have betrayed me and lived that life. ”

Yao Qianyu snapped her fingers, still not very relieved, and said lightly: "Can't they betray you and serve the emperor?" ”

"If before the fall of the eunuchs, there may have been many people who had this kind of thought. Not long after Zhu Youzhen took office, how many officials did the court change and how many people were killed? Serving such an emperor, don't you plan for yourself in your heart? What if I do something wrong and get killed? Ao Bai didn't care and said: "I don't go to the court at all now, and I also say to the outside world that I am not in good health, and I have been staying in the capital, these officials all know, will they suspect that I have other thoughts in my heart?" ”

Phoenix said: "However, sometimes you are too obvious, I don't think you seem to be worried about being seen as rebellious." ”

Ao Bai said: "I did it on purpose." If I don't reveal anything to others, where can I find my subordinates? Not to mention gaining the support of foreigners. I'm a leader, and I have to rely on others to get ahead. Even if someone sues me, the emperor may not believe it. There were too many people who impeached me before, and he was already immune. I've been staying in the capital, ignoring political affairs, and there's no evidence that I want to rebel. And as long as I reveal a little something, someone will come to me, like the Sun brothers. ”

Yao Qianyu rubbed her face with both hands, sat on the chair, and said bitterly: "I think now that you are a bit like Sima Taifu during the Three Kingdoms...... It's a little scary, if you marry me, it won't be in the plan, right? ”

"How could something so far be planned?" Ao Bai took her hand and comforted: "Don't think nonsense, think about how I treat the Jin Kingdom, I will stand on the side of the people of the Ming Dynasty and turn the Ming Dynasty into the strongest empire." ”

Sima Taifu, I'm talking about Sima Yi. When Cao Cao didn't die, many people doubted his ambition, because he had the appearance of a wolf, that is, he could be like a wolf, his body did not move, and his head turned directly to the rear. In physiognomy, it is believed that people with such strange characteristics are dangerous in their hearts, and they are easy to betray as "inhuman ministers", so many people say in front of Cao Cao that this person has wolf ambitions. Cao Cao himself was a very suspicious person, so he came to an on-the-spot test. According to the Book of Jin, Cao Cao had one day "summoned an envoy to move forward, ordered to look back, and turned his face backwards, but his body did not move." Cao Cao was shocked when he saw it, so he never reused Sima Yi while he was alive, and reminded his son Cao Pi to beware of this person. It's a pity that Cao Pi didn't listen to his father's words, he called the emperor, not only let Sima Yi participate in both internal and external wars, but also entrusted the little emperor to Sima Yi and Cao Fang when he was critically ill. Later facts proved that Sima Yi was indeed scheming, and not only did not protect Cao Wei's little emperor, but took the opportunity to seize the world.

Ao Bai comforted his wife, and felt that it was really similar. At that time, Cao Pi trusted Sima Yi very much, and did not take his father's words to heart, but protected Sima Yi everywhere. Now Chongzhen has the same trust in himself. In the past, the ministers' impeachment of him was like a sheep herding baby shouting "the wolf is coming", which not only had no effect, but also made Chongzhen treat them as liars and liars.

When the wolf really comes, will Chongzhen still be prepared?
