"Fuck! Lao Tzu is blowing the wind and eating snow in Liaodong, and the court treats Lao Tzu like this?! ”

"Tell Mr. Yang to comment on it! Why should the three towns of Shanxi and the guards of Shanxi be abolished! ”

On October 29, the first year of the Apocalypse, accompanied by shouts, hundreds of Shanxi soldiers and horses who came to aid Liao gathered at the gate of the Shenyang General Military Officer's Mansion.

They shouted, but soon the shouting was answered.

Suddenly, the sound of armor stomach appeared, and immediately after that, white pole soldiers wearing cloth armor began to emerge in the alley, as well as Liao soldiers and thistle soldiers wearing armor stomachs.

In just a quarter of an hour, they were surrounded by thousands of soldiers and horses, and at this time, the gate of the General Military Officer's Mansion was also opened, and Qin Bangping walked out first, followed by He Shixian, You Shigong, Yang Zhaoji, Lu Qin, Zhang Jixian and others.

"What?! Are you going to rebel?! ”

Qin Bangping yelled angrily at hundreds of officers, completely ignoring the face of Yang Zhaoji and the others.

The three of them stood behind Qin Bangping, and behind the three of them were He Shixian and You Shigong.

Standing in the middle, Zhang Jixian's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he had no doubt that once he dared to instigate the soldiers and horses, He Shixian and You Shigong would draw their swords against him.

Zhang Jixian and the three of them did not speak easily, which made the more than 300 Shanxi officers who were reprimanded lose half of their courage.

At the end of October, it had already snowed lightly in the land of Liaodong, but at this moment, the more than 300 Shanxi officers felt red in their faces and red ears, and their blood was surging.

They originally wanted to hold their troops to their own dignity and suppress people with their power, but they didn't want Qin Bangping to prepare men and horses a long time ago, and they had been waiting for them for a long time.

"...... Li has big eyes, let go of the arrow and ask them to fight! ”

Among the officers, one spoke carefully, but one of the generals standing at the front had a sad face.

They just wanted to ask for an explanation, to give the court a false impression that they dared to rebel.

But the question is, it's just an illusion, and if it's real, how many people dare to play?

This is not Shanxi, if it is in Shanxi, on the contrary, there are still people who supply grain and grass, but here, where will the people of Liaodong care about their life and death?

Take refuge in Nurhachi? No kidding, in addition to their nearly 30,000 Shanxi soldiers and horses, there are also nearly 20,000 Sichuan and Liao soldiers and horses in Shenyang City.

The city gates are guarded by Sichuan Liao soldiers and horses, as long as they guard the city, even if they want to break the city, it will take a long time.

The distance from Shenyang to Liaoyang is only 100 miles, if they can't attack Shenyang City in an hour, then Liaoyang's more than 2,000 Zhejiang soldiers and cavalry will come to the city, and more than 10,000 Zhejiang soldiers will arrive one after another in four hours.

Not to mention that recently, Man Gui led the soldiers and horses of the Daning Sanwei to Tuntian outside the Great Wall one hundred and thirty miles to the west.

Besides, if they really want to rebel, they must be prepared to make a desperate gamble and abandon all their wives and children in Shanxi.

Therefore, it is impossible to rebel, and it is better to fight from Shaanxi to Shanxi, but to fight from Liaodong to Shanxi is to laugh.

The Sixteenth Guards and the Twelve Guards Battalion of Beizhili are not dry meals.

"The abolition of the three towns and the health center in Shanxi is the will of Long Live the Guard, the officials of the health center are abolished, the official positions are retained, and the rest of the fields and acres of the health center are confiscated."

"The local battalion soldiers were merged into the 28 Gongwei Battalion outside Shanxi, and the military salary was fifteen taels!"

Qin Bangping told the news of the battalion and guard post left in Shanxi, and this made some lower-ranking officers light up when they heard it, and they hid in the crowd and shouted:

"What about us?"

"yes, what about us?"

"It's not like we're going to be motherless children!"

As soon as one person spoke, a large number of battalion officers followed up to ask about their placement, and in this regard, Qin Bangping also said to them:

"According to the will of Long Live Will, Er and others will be organized into the 28th Battalion of Liaodong with Shenyang, Zhenjiang, Liaoyang, Jinzhou, Phoenix, Kuandian and other cities."

"You and the others will disrupt with the soldiers and horses of Shenyang and transfer them to Fengjibao, Wang Darentun, Wujingyingbao, Weiningyingbao, Haizhou, Gaizhou, Fuzhou and other places, and the salaries of officers and soldiers will increase fivefold, and the salaries of non-commissioned officers will rise to 15 taels."

Qin Bangping's words instantly stopped the three hundred officers who were originally making trouble.

The salaries of officers have increased fivefold, that is to say, the annual salaries of the generals have risen from 88 taels to 440 taels, and the guerrillas have also increased to more than 300 taels.

The lowest captain, according to the treatment of the nine-rank officer, also has a military salary of ninety-five taels, which is simply ......

For a while, more than 200 of the 300 officers suddenly stopped talking, just because their official position was the commander of the sentry, and each outpost commanded 125 people, and among the 27,000 soldiers in Shanxi, there were only about 200 people.

Their previous military salary was only nineteen taels of silver per year, and even if they ate empty salaries, it was only sixty or seventy taels of silver, but now the legal price has suddenly risen fivefold, and suddenly the annual salary is nearly one hundred taels, so they are naturally unwilling to follow the rebellion.

In this way, it will be anxious for the remaining middle and high-level officers of the hundreds.

The higher the position, the more they shared, and naturally they would not be satisfied with the more than four hundred taels of silver, so they instantly looked at Qin Bangping and the others.

"Someone!"

Suddenly, Qin Bangping pointed to the hundred-plus middle and high-level officers, and said:

"The officers who did not leave after a stick of incense were arrested and imprisoned one after another, and handed over to the military department for disposal!"

"Yes!" The officers and soldiers besieging responded one after another, which made it difficult for the middle and high-ranking officers, who only had a hundred or so people.

As for the more than two hundred sentry commanders, they had already taken a few steps back, and only a few dozen or so battle front sentry commanders remained by their side.

In the late Ming Dynasty's family system, even the battalion soldiers were divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the front team was basically the cronies of the generals, with the best treatment and the most silver, so they were naturally unwilling to abandon their own generals.

However, even if they were unwilling to abandon it, most of the officers swallowed their saliva and retreated in the face of the white spears of the white-pole soldiers.

As a result, only thirty or so stubborn officers remained.

"Whew!"

Suddenly, the white pole soldiers around took a step forward, instantly making the more than 30 people take a few steps back, and in a panic, some people retreated.

And this retreat means that everyone retreats cleanly.

A soldier bears a nest of bears.

This sentence does not only refer to the general soldiers, but also to the accusations of these generals.

If the generals of the three towns of Shanxi were not afraid of death and were brave and good at fighting, they would not have let Da Khan be arrogant on the border wall of Shanxi for decades.

The brave ones are either dead or promoted, and the rest are all high or low.

A group of guys who couldn't even mutiny were organized by Qin Bangping in a big mess, mixing the 9,000 Yongping Ji soldiers and 7,000 Liao soldiers in Shenyang City into them, and finding a way to dismiss the most stubborn more than 30 officers, so that the Ji soldiers and Liao generals were put on the throne.

Some of the generals who stood out from the white pole soldiers were also placed in it, and the last 27,000 Shanxi soldiers were combined with the 19,000 Sichuan Liao Ji soldiers to form a fifteenth battalion.

According to Zhu Youzhen's royal order, seven battalions of soldiers and horses were transferred to Fengji and Haizhou, and in the end, only eight battalions were left to garrison Shenyang City.

Even so, counting the auxiliary soldiers, Shenyang still has nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses stationed, which is far from a place where Nurhachi can eat hard.

The follow-up of the three towns in Shanxi ended, but Zhu Youzhen's arrangement made some people vigilant.

But such vigilance was swallowed up with a piece of news on the first day of the winter month.

Li Rubai, Li Ruzhen, and Yang Hao were pardoned.

Not only that, Li Rubai was reinstated as the chief soldier of Guyuan Town, Li Ruzhen served as the deputy chief soldier, and Yang Hao was appointed as a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and went to North Korea to inspect after the beginning of spring.

When this news spread, the first person who felt that it was impossible was Xiong Tingbi in Guangning, because he knew that Li Rubai and Li Ruzhen were involved because of party disputes.

But unexpectedly, the emperor did not kill them now, but after letting them go, he also appointed them as officials.

"In my opinion, why don't you take advantage of the moment to transfer Zhu Wanliang and the others to Guyuan?"

In the Guangning Jinglue Mansion, Yuan Yingtai was giving advice to Xiong Tingbi who was sitting next to him, and Xiong Tingbi was also a little melancholy when he heard this.

Zhu Wanliang, Jiang Bi and other soldiers and horses who were implicated in the Li family, he was more laborious to command.

Under the current situation that Karaqin is guarding itself, frying flowers and grazing with peace of mind, and there are three guards of Daning under the command of Man Gui outside the Great Wall, the importance of Guangning has greatly decreased.

It can be said that at present, they only have two responsibilities, that is, to protect the Liaoxi Corridor and support Liaoshen.

In this way, the seventy or eighty thousand Liao soldiers west of the Liao River are a bit too much.

Especially after King Qi set up the 28th battalion of Liaozhen, the soldiers and horses in Liaozhen have reached 160,000.

At this time, instead of leaving Zhu Wanliang and the others, it is better to be a favor and transfer them to Li Rubai to the northwest.

Transfer the 30,000 soldiers and horses of Zhu Wanliang and others, and then you can dismiss more than 50,000 ordinary Liao soldiers who are waiting to die, and you can reduce the military salary of Liaozhen without Zhu Youzhen's hands.

It stands to reason that transferring Zhu Wanliang and others will be beneficial and harmless to Xiong Tingbi, but he is very melancholy.

Because if Zhu Wanliang and others are transferred, then he still needs to recruit more soldiers and horses.

Therefore, he needed to recruit 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers to defend the Liaoxi Corridor and Quang Ninh, and he didn't want to recruit troops in Liaodong, so he was melancholy.

In the face of Yuan Yingtai's advice, Xiong Tingbi got up and walked, and only after a few seconds did he speak:

"In this matter, I need to ask King Qi, if King Qi is willing to recruit another 30,000 troops for Liao Town in Shanxi and Jizhen, then Zhu Wanliang and others can be transferred."

"King Qi is reasonable, and he has been abolishing the guard, so he must agree to fly to your superiors." Yuan Yingtai comforted Xiong Tingbi.

However, as soon as he said this, Xiong Tingbi suddenly became confident, and after leaving a sentence of "I'm going to write a letter", he left the hall.

But as soon as he left, Yuan Yingtai became uncomfortable, because there were hundreds of affairs in the hall of Liaodong.

Helpless, he could only bury his head in dealing with it, and the letter written by Xiong Tingbi was also delivered to Zhu Youzhen five days later.

——————

"Your Highness, Xiong Jingluo has sent a letter, and a team of people claiming to be Li Rubai's family has come to the camp gate, and they have come to ask to see Your Highness."

"Li Rubai's family?"

Zhu Youzhen, who was roasting the fire in the barracks, watched Lu Wenzhao open the curtain of the big tent and saw him hand out a letter with both hands.

Zhu Youzhen, who took the letter, asked: "What do you mean by that group of family members?" ”

"The people below didn't ask, but they brought a cart of gold and silver, which should be to thank Your Highness." Lu Wenzhao responded.

"In that case, let their leaders in." Zhu Youzhen opened the letter as he spoke.

Seeing this, Lu Wenzhao asked people to call Li Rubai's family, and Zhu Youzhen quickly read the letter at a glance.

Xiong Tingbi's thoughts were known to him, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

If they really follow Xiong Tingbi's ideas and take this opportunity to transfer 30,000 soldiers and horses from Liaodong to Guyuan, Shaanxi, not only can Li Rubai strike at the Ordos Department of Hetao, but also take the opportunity to solve the affairs of Liaodong.

No matter how you look at it, it's a good deal.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen was thinking about the difficulty of implementing this matter.

However, after a stick of incense, he didn't think about how to solve it, and he heard a sound outside the tent.

"Li Mingzhu of the Li clan of Tieling, Liaodong, ask to see His Royal Highness King Qi......"

"Come in!" Hearing the sound outside the tent, Zhu Youzhen replied, and at this time, the curtain was also opened by the Xiaocai guards at the door.

I saw a middle-aged general in his thirties coming, then handed over his saber at the door, took off his hood, and then walked into the military tent.

"Li Mingzhu of the Li family, see His Royal Highness King Qi!"

Li Mingzhu knelt down on one knee and bowed his hands, while Zhu Youzhen bowed slightly: "Get up." ”

Li Mingzhu stood up, and Zhu Youzhen looked at him and said, "Tell me, why did Li Rubai ask you to come." ”

"My father heard that this time he could pardon, it was a good word from His Royal Highness the King of Qi, so he asked the last general to come and send some gadgets, this is a gift list...... Li Mingzhu took out the cyan gift list from his arms and handed it to Lu Wenzhao.

After Lu Wenzhao received it, he took two steps forward and put it on Zhu Youzhen's eucalyptus.

He glanced at it, it was 30,000 taels of silver, as well as various jewels such as Dongzhu and pearls, and it could only be said that it was worthy of the Li family's military gate that had been entrenched in Liaodong for half a century.

"My father still wants to trouble His Highness about something......

Li Mingzhu continued to salute and speak, which made Zhu Youzhen curious: "Let's talk about it." ”

"My father heard that His Royal Highness's general Man Gui swept away the Bayo Department and caught the concubine of the Bayo Department......" Li Mingzhu said a little unnaturally:

"To tell you the truth, Your Highness, my father's seventh concubine is Shuerhaqi's second daughter, and the eldest concubine of Bayo is his sister of the same father and mother, so I want to ask His Royal Highness to enlarge the concubine to the Li family."

"Don't you say that I forgot about it......" Zhu Youzhen remembered that Man Gui had arrested the concubine of Bayo.

However, because Shulhaqi conspired with the Li clan to split Houjin, he was imprisoned to death by Nurhachi.

This so-called Bayo concubine is dispensable for Nurhachi, there is no use value, it doesn't matter whether she is dead or alive, so Zhu Youzhen and Zhu Youxiao don't care.

Thinking about it this way, it's been almost half a year, and I don't know if people are dead or alive.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen looked at Lu Wenzhao and said, "Where is the concubine of Bayo now?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, he was imprisoned by Man Gui two months ago by Ming Shifang in the capital." Lu Wenzhao was shocked, and Zhu Youzhen also said to him when he heard this:

"Since she's still alive, let her go."

The eldest concubine of the Bayo Department is called Sun Dai, although she was used to kiss and was also very young, she was not beautiful, and Zhu Youzhen had no other thoughts.

As soon as he waved his hand, he asked Lu Wenzhao to arrange for someone to release her.

After all, this woman is Shulhazy's daughter, and she may be of some use in the future.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Li Mingzhu thanked him, while Zhu Youzhen said:

"What does your father think about going to Guyuan?"

"My father said that he must fight for the Ming Dynasty to thank Long Live and His Royal Highness for his kindness." Lee Mingzhu responded:

Let's get off the book

"If it weren't for the fact that he had to contact the previous family, my father would have wanted to come to Yangqu to visit His Highness in person."

"No need...... Zhu Youzhen frowned slightly, he didn't want to be too deeply involved with the Li family, he wanted to use the Li family, not form an alliance or be subordinate to the Li family.

In this regard, he leaned back in his chair and said to Li Mingzhu:

"I heard that Guyuan's soldiers and horses were useless, and I heard that after Tieling was broken, most of the Li family members died in battle."

"So I'm going to transfer Zhu Wanliang, the chief soldier of the Guangning Houtun Guard, and the guerrilla Zu Dashou of the Jingdong Battalion to lead the troops to Guyuan, what do you think?"

Zhu Youzhen's sentence was to transfer 30,000 soldiers and horses from Liaodong.

Such a military order is decided only after several consultations between the cabinet, the six ministries, and the six sections, and he is just a sentence.

Li Mingzhu didn't know if this was a temptation, so he could only say with difficulty: "The last general needs to return to the capital and ask his father." ”

"Well, yes, in that case, you should have asked earlier." Zhu Youzhen bowed slightly, and then got up and said to Li Mingzhu:

"Lonely is going to patrol the camp today, so I won't stay overnight, if necessary, you can arrange for a stay in Yangqu County."

"Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, things are complicated in the capital, and my father has urged the last general to go back several times." Li Mingzhu was not a fool, he knew that his answer just now was not very satisfactory to King Qi, so he didn't really think that he could stay overnight.

"In that case, I won't send it." Zhu Youzhen smiled and spoke, and Li Mingzhu returned the salute:

"The Last Will Retire ......"

So he withdrew from the tent, took the scarf and his weapons, and departed.

Zhu Youzhen walked out of the big tent, and Lu Wenzhao also followed.

Waiting for Li Mingzhu's figure to disappear, Lu Wenzhao spoke:

"Your Highness, do you want to transfer the regular soldiers of Liao Town to Shaanxi?"

"Well...... Zhu Youzhen said:

"If I just transfer them away, they may not necessarily leave, maybe they will have to defend Liaodong."

"But if you use the power and kindness of the Li family of Li Rubai and Li Ruzhen, I'm afraid they will have to go."

Speaking of this, Zhu Youzhen looked at Lu Wenzhao and said:

"Let Chengen and Huachun recruit six more new soldiers."

"Yes......" Lu Wenzhao responded, and at this time, a brocade-clothed guard Qianhu walked quickly in the distance, and after seeing Zhu Youzhen and Lu Wenzhao at the door of the big tent, he made a gesture from a distance.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Youzhen opened his mouth to ask, and the other party also sent a letter of second-class military information.

Zhu Youzhen frowned and took it open, squinted his eyes slightly after a glance, and handed the letter to Lu Wenzhao.

After Lu Wenzhao took the list, he found that this information was actually from Zhu Xieyuan's side.

The content of the letter was very simple, the Zhejiang Party sent people to find Zhu Xieyuan, and the purpose of finding Zhu Xieyuan was also very simple.

Zhu Guozuo wanted to take advantage of the Lu'an Rebellion to seek an opportunity for Zhejiang party officials.

The specific purpose of this opportunity was to enlarge the scale and scope of the Lu'an Rebellion, and then send a large number of Zhejiang party officials to the five southwestern provinces to win their promotion for the merit of defending the territory.

However, the people sent by Zhu Guozuo ran empty, and after holding Luzhou and even counterattacking, Zhu Xieyuan had already moved the governor's mansion to Shihu Pass.

According to the distance between the two places and the time of this letter, Zhu Xieyuan should have met the people sent by Zhu Guozuo, and now I don't know what Zhu Xieyuan will do in the face of Zhu Guozuo's proposal.

After reading the contents of the letter, Lu Wenzhao raised his head and said: "Your Highness, this Zhu Guozuo has done this thing, it can completely bring him down, do you want to ......?"

"No need to ......" Hearing this, Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said:

"At present, the cabinet has just maintained the balance between the parties, and if Zhu Guozuo is overthrown, the next cabinet minister to take the position must be Han Yi of the Donglin Party."

"It is enough to have one cabinet position of the Donglin Party, and if it grows stronger, I am afraid it will only be the next Zhejiang Party."

"Zhu Guozuo's matter will be archived first, and it will be turned out when he is impeached in the future."

"All you have to do is to let Beizhen Fusi keep an eye on Zhu Xieyuan's attitude, and if he agrees with Zhu Guozuo's idea, notify me as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Lu Wenzhao responded, and Zhu Youzhen also had mixed feelings when he saw this.

What Zhu Guozuo did did touch his bottom line, if there was no outbreak of Huaibei hunger, or if the next cabinet minister was not from the Donglin Party, he would not hesitate to bring down Zhu Guozuo.

But the problem is that at the moment there is no one in the Zhejiang Party, and even more so in other parties.

If Zhu Guozuo is overthrown, Han Yi will take the throne, and I am afraid that the absurd new deal of the Donglin Party in history will be staged again.

At present, the political situation of the Ming Dynasty, although the imperial power has the upper hand, the local discourse power is still the world of civil officials.

Don't look at the imperial power's troops have been deployed in various places, and they look like they can directly lift the table.

But as long as the imperial power lifts the table, the local government will immediately dare to govern itself.

No matter how many soldiers and horses there are, they are not infinite after all.

As long as the grain is cut off, plus the taxes in Jiangnan and Shandong, Huguang and other places are cut off, even if Zhu Youzhen has nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses, it is impossible to level the world in a short period of time.

From Shuntian to Yingtian, it takes more than 20 days to go all the way unimpeded.

If there is a city to defend, I am afraid it will take half a year, or even a year or two to fight.

With the financial resources of the Imperial Horse Supervisor and Shanxi, Beizhili, and Liaodong, Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youzhen could not afford to supply more than 300,000 soldiers for the campaign.

Not to mention that Nurhachi is still eyeing Liaodong and containing more than 100,000 troops.

At the moment, you can't directly and violently flip the table, the political strength of the imperial power is still too weak, and you have to wait for the scale formed by Yanshan.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen asked Lu Wenzhao:

"How many students are there in Yanshan Institute?"

"Back to Your Highness, the second batch of students has already enrolled, compared to the first batch of only 47,000 students, the second batch has a total of more than 35,000 students." Lu Wenzhao responded, and then hesitated:

"However, the scale of more than 80,000 students is really difficult to digest on the side of Yanshan Institute."

"Let your people find some more people who meet the standards in Yingtian and Shuntianguo." Zhu Youzhen frowned and said:

"In addition, ask Chengen to allocate 100,000 taels and 500,000 stone grains to Yanshan."

"Order Leopard Taowei to command Hong Fangyu to recruit people, and expand a Yanshan station in the area of the original stone box camp."

"Yes......" Lu Wenzhao responded, and Zhu Youzhen also turned his head to look at the sky:

"More than 80,000 students...... I don't know what the situation in the world will be after they walk out of Yanshan......"
