When Wei Zhongxian was in power, the Ming Dynasty's invasion of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Liaodong was still relatively powerful, and it had the potential to recover Liaodong.

If Wei Zhongxian could have recognized the relationship between Liaodong and Jingshi's nest destruction and egg breaking, he denied the decision of many Donglin Party members to shrink the mountain customs and support Sun Chengzong's promotion policy.

In the early stage, Wei Zhongxian appointed Yuan Chonghuan to supervise Liaodong, and gave Yuan Chonghuan great support in political, material, military salary, military equipment and other aspects.

Although it is impossible to say how much Wei Zhongxian attaches importance to Yuan Chonghuan, from the correspondence between Yuan Chonghuan and Wei Zhongxian, at most the relationship between Yuan Chonghuan and Wei Zhongxian is reconciled.

In addition, Wei Zhongxian turned a blind eye to Mao Wenlong's dark market trading in North Korea, and tried his best to woo him, which made Mao Wenlong's blood boil and swore to defend Phi Island and North Korea's foreign country. In fact, Mao Wenlong, the protector of North Korea, also fulfilled his promise.

In the past few years when Wei Zhongxian was in power, the barren city from Ningyuan to Jinzhou was renovated from scratch, and the firearms, chariots, mines, and bombs of the Ming army guarding the border were completely equipped, and the red-coated cannons were also moved to the city heads of Ningyuan and Jinzhou. And in recent years, there have been frequent successes at the border gates.

Ning Hongyuan shelled and injured Nurhachi, Ning Jin won a great victory and repeatedly hit Huang Taiji, and Mao Wenlong tried his best to stop the Manchu Qing occupation of North Korea...

Wei Zhongxianda tried his best to support the biggest background of the border pass is that he is very good at generating income, to put it bluntly, it is a tax, although the imperial court at the end of the Ming Dynasty is declining, but it is still very rich, and the property is mainly gathered in the prosperous Jiangnan region, the so-called national gold and silver, all gathered in Sanwu. But Jiangnan is the stronghold of the Donglin Party, and it moves other people's coffers, so it's strange if you don't risk death.

Ferociously, Wei Zhongxian levied a small amount of taxes from the rich area, but the Yellow River embankment, which had not been repaired for decades, began to be repaired, and when Henan was in trouble, Wei Zhongxian was able to exempt Henan from money and grain.

And small parties such as Qi, Chuzhe, and other small parties who were ostracized by the Donglin Party began to cooperate closely with Wei Zhongxian.

During this period, except for the squires and wealthy merchants in Jiangnan and the various ethnic groups in these places who were very disgusted with Wei Zhongxian, basically the military and political affairs of the whole country were only organized.

Yuan Chonghuan praised Wei Zhongxian, "From the ancient ministers, who has the right to the right, the world of the marquis should be rewarded!" "gave Guan Ningjun such an abundant military salary, and Yuan Chonghuan's praise is also average.

Look at Wei Zhongxian's fall, the Donglin Party occupied the court from the beginning, and they once again abolished the industrial and commercial taxes and sea taxes related to their vital interests. begged for the Manchu Qing idea, turned a deaf ear to the peasant army, and lived secretly.

Doesn't Chongzhen Tianzi like to be honest, these ministers all say that he is poor. The Donglin Party ginseng overthrew Yuan Chonghuan, and the suspicious Chongzhen was instigated to kill Yuan Chonghuan, and the Liaodong guards no longer had abundant military salaries and materials, and there were no good commanders. Zu Dashou was besieged in Jinzhou, the imperial court had no money to recruit troops to save it, Zu Dashou held on for two years, what was lost was the imperial court's retention of them, can you still complain that he voluntarily surrendered?

The funny thing is that Li Zicheng's troops came to the northern capital, and he only needed three million silver taels and two requests for the king to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and he was also allowed to assist the imperial court to fight the Manchu Qing.

Chongzhen couldn't make up a few taels of silver to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

When Li Zicheng broke through the capital, and the ministers who knelt on both sides of the road were full of clear mouths, full of expectations to expel the new son of heaven, Li Zicheng did not look at them squarely, and the peasant army raided their homes and copied out 70 million taels, while there were only more than 100,000 taels of silver left in the treasury......

At this time, Wei Zhongxian was in front of my eyes, kneeling down on one knee, and at the same time, there were two hundred brocade guards behind Wei Zhongxian.

Everyone in the brocade guard was wearing black and gold armor, and a black gold cloak on their body was particularly eye-catching.

They all wore masks with ghostly patterns on them, which looked very eerie, and they all wore a long knife around their waists.

This is the very famous embroidered spring knife, which should not appear in this era of strong murderous aura.

The embroidered spring knife is the Ming Dynasty secret service Jinyiwei, the concept of the imperial forest army of the saber, the shape of the embroidered spring knife combines the characteristics of the Japanese knife imported into China during the Kanhe period, to the middle and late periods are more inclined to the Ming Dynasty local special custom Ministry waist knife.

And the brocade guards in front of him, the weapons and costumes are the same, especially unified, and they look very comfortable.

I looked at Wei Zhongxian and said, "You get up." ”

"Yes, master!" He said respectfully.

At this time, I also let Wei Zhongxian leave.

But as soon as Wei Zhongxian left, Jia Xu came over and said, "Lord, this person is murderous, not a good person. ”

"Employing people in troubled times, regardless of morality! As long as this person is used by me, it is an invincible sharp knife! I said.

Jia Xu gritted his teeth, bowed his head and said, "Everything is arranged by the lord." ”

When I went outside, I found an old man standing at the door, and the old man had blocked the door.

I frowned, and was about to walk over, but Pan Jinlian pulled me and pulled me to the thatched hut on the side.

I said, "You ......."

She immediately made a silent gesture for me, and then whispered: "Xianggong, where is Yu Ji too......

"What?"

I saw that Pan Jinlian immediately took out a bug similar to Zhili, she held the worm in the palm of her hand and said, "Listen! ”

What amazed me was that this knowledge actually spoke a human conversation.

The old man said: "Miss Yu Ji, if you don't leave, then the young master will not be able to explain there." ”

"Yu Ji is here?" I said to Pan Jinlian.

Pan Jinlian nodded: "That old man seems to be Fan Zeng, who is here to persuade Yu Ji to go, this insect is called a clairleaf, it is a Gu worm, within a hundred meters, as long as the male worm is placed in one place, and the female worm will transmit the sound of that place." ”

I said in my heart that this is still a magical thing, and I was about to sigh, when suddenly Yu Ji spoke.

Yu Ji spoke with difficulty: "Thank you, but I can't ...... go"

"Miss Yu Ji! You're the young master's fiancée! Fan Zeng's tone was very excited.

Yu Ji smiled: "If before, I would still leave, but now I will not leave...... At least not here, when the housekeeper suffered, no one came to help me, it was Brother Lin who helped me bury the housekeeper, my father and mother died early, all the time, the housekeeper is as important to me as my own father, if you really came to save me...... Where were you back then? ”

Hearing this, I took a breath of cold air, and said in my heart that the old man was not her father, but her housekeeper, and it seemed that Yu Ji's identity was also incredible.

"You have to go, this is what the young master has explained." The old man began to play tricks.

Suddenly, Yu Ji exclaimed: "What are you doing here!" Let go, I'm not leaving! You let go, you! ”

As soon as I heard that it was not good, I immediately strode past, and sure enough, at this time, Fan Zeng began to pull Yu Ji.

I yelled and said, "Stop! ”

"Who are you?!" Fan Zeng looked at me and said.

And this Fan Zeng looks like an old man, his beard is white, and he has a bit of bone fairy style, but his eyes are very annoying.

His eyes were like vultures, full of murderous aura.

I said, "It doesn't matter who I am, but are you robbing people's girls in broad daylight, is this still what an old man should do?!" Disrespectful for the old! ”

"Listening to your tone, you seem to be a Chu person, since you are a Chu person, do you know who she is, do you know who I am?!" Fan Zeng yelled at me.

I laughed, "Didn't she say it, she's my sister!" Since it's my sister-in-law, isn't it natural to protect my sister-in-law? ”

Speaking of this, Yu Ji smiled and took the opportunity to come to my side.

Fan Zeng shook his hands and said, "Okay, good!" You are a rough man, since you dare to commit the following crimes, you ...... You're mad at me...... You are not worthy of being a Chu person! ”

"What does it matter to you if I am worthy or not? What I do is worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of my parents, that's enough, I don't expect everyone to look at me, but I will never compromise on it, since Ruyi refuses to go, then you can come again next time. ”

"Bastard!" Fan Zeng threw off his robe and walked away with his crutches.

Watching Fan Zeng go away, Yu Ji said, "General, thank you." ”

"Just like you said, since you call me big brother, then from now on, you will be my sister!" I said, anyway, this girl is too young, and it is just right to be a girl.
