There will definitely be a little bit of prejudice, but more of it is not very reassuring.

Zhu Youxiao did not want to pursue those who were not guilty now because of the mistakes in the original history. But he is not so magnanimous, and he can avoid it as much as possible.

Jin Guofeng guards Songshan and can "cry Shengjing"; He Kegang defended Jinzhou, but was bound and surrendered by Zu Dashou, which is sighing.

Zhu Youxiao proposed to appoint the two, in addition to historical deeds, as well as the investigation during the study of martial arts.

As for Zu Dashou, the chance of repeating the mistakes of the past is already very small, but in terms of heart and loyalty, he is one layer behind these two.

The mustard still exists, Zhu Youxiao does not deny it, and he does not think there is much of a problem.

Just like Zhang Pan and Kong Youde, Mao Wenlong and Yuan Chonghuan, they will always involuntarily treat them differently, although it is difficult to detect.

By the way, Yuan Chonghuan, put it in the Ministry of Rites did not reassure the emperor, and was sent to the local Renzhi County.

The arrangements after Ning Yuan's victory were in full swing, without a little slack, taking advantage of your illness to kill you, the emperor is well aware of this.

And Jiannu was defeated again, or rather, it was a miserable scene.

Fuzhou, the residence of the hereditary general soldier Liu Aita, Jin Yingkui, a student, is reporting to Liu Aita what he has seen and heard in Liaoshen.

"King Khan's Zhengming was defeated again, and several of the Dorobeledeg and his generals were killed, and more than 10,000 soldiers were killed and wounded; The people who walk the street are often panicked and unhappy. In the distance outside the city, between the songs, the cry is ...... all over the sky"

After a pause, Jin Yingkui added: "Heshuo Belle Mang Gurtai was hit by artillery, lost a leg, was seriously injured and dying, and I don't know if he can be saved." ”

Liu Aita was formerly known as Liu Xingzuo, and Korean literature also called him Liu Hai, a native of Kaiyuan, Liaodong, who was plundered and sold to the Jurchen Jianzhou Department as a slave when he was young.

By chance, Nurhachi met Liu Xingzuo and found that he was not only smart and empathetic, but also quite talented.

The old slave admired Liu Xingzuo very much, renamed him Aita, gave him an official position, and assigned him to the Zhenghong Banner of the Great Belle Daishan.

In order to repay the kindness of the encounter, Liu Aita participated in the battle of Liaoshen, and prepared for the defense with the merits of defeating the enemy and chasing and fleeing, and repeatedly made meritorious contributions in the subsequent battles, until the deputy general and the general soldier, who were ordered to govern Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Haizhou, Gaizhou, and the land of the four guards in southern Liaoning.

Now, Liu Aita is not only the third most important person among the Han officials after Shi Wuli and Li Yongfang. He also married the daughter of the nurse of Sakhalian, the son of Daizen, and was related to the old slave by marriage.

But Liu Aita with such a status and status heard Jin Yingkui's story, but he was not very sad and concerned, but still had a lazy demeanor, and asked casually: "I didn't expect the Khan to be in charge of the army, and the losses would be so heavy." ”

Jin Yingkui pondered for a moment and said: "Jinzhou has all fallen, and the two red flags of Dabeile are also quite damaged. Sakhalian fought a field battle with the Ming army, but also failed to win. ”

Liu Aita raised his eyebrows and said with a wry smile: "Can't even defeat the Ming army in a field battle?" ”

Jin Yingkui hung his head and was silent, and the room fell into an unbearable silence.

Jin Yingkui is aware of Liu Aita's emotional changes. That should be after Liu Aita intercepted more than two Liao people who tried to flee to the island, but these Liao people were brutally slaughtered by Nurhachi, right?

After a long time, Liu Aita said faintly: "Since the Ming army has been guarding Luda, thousands of Liao people have fled. Even if the floating board is in the sea, the danger is abnormal, they do not care. ”

Jin Yingkui looked up at Liu Aita and didn't quite know what he meant.

"Fortunately, the Ming army sent ships to patrol along the coast, but they saved a lot of people." Liu Aita also glanced at Jin Yingkui, and said lightly: "The Ming army has the advantage of a sailor, and according to Jinzhou, the three guards of Fu, Hai, and Gai are not easy to guard!" ”

Jin Yingkui nodded and said: "The situation is indeed getting worse and worse, especially the grain and grass materials, this launch costs a lot, and when the green and yellow are not available, I am afraid that someone will starve." ”

It can only be the Liao people who are starving, or can it be the Jurchens?

Liu Aita lowered his eyes and did not speak. After a while, he waved his hand and said, "Mr. Jin, let's step back first!" ”

Jin Yingkui got up and saluted, and retreated with some suspicion.

The room fell silent, and Liu Aita couldn't help but let out a long sigh, stroking his forehead, and fell into the battle between heaven and man and the weighing of pros and cons.

.......................

The bump finally stopped, and as the hatch was opened, the sunlight that was not warm shone in, but it was so bright that Zhao Huaiyi and the others couldn't open their eyes.

Under the city of Ningyuan, Zhao Huaiyi killed a Jiannu official, and then nested motionless in the pit like a dead dog in the near collapse.

Jiannu was defeated and retreated, when he was a dead man; The Ming army went out of the city to pursue, and he was also out of breath. When the battlefield was thoroughly cleaned, it was discovered that Zhao Huaiyi was still alive.

And like him, there are dozens of people who pretend to be dead in the rain of bullets. In addition, those who were injured and did not escape became prisoners of the Ming army.

After some strict interrogation and screening, Zhao Huaiyi, Bao Yi and Han Bing finally received preferential treatment. I didn't kill them, and I didn't lack food or drink. But only two days later, they were boarded on two ships and sailed to an unknown location.

Didn't you escort Jingshi to sacrifice prisoners and then be beheaded, right? Including Zhao Huaiyi, everyone's hearts hung again.

In the torment of fear, the ship finally stopped, and after a brief adaptation to the not-so-warm sun, they finally set foot on land.

This is - Zhao Huaiyi squinted his eyes and found that this was a seaport. There are many ships, there are soldiers and people on the wharf, but the accent is the same Liao people.

"Are these people?" With a question, Zhao Huaiyi saw an officer coming over, his face was chubby, and he seemed to have a little smile, very kind.

The escorted junior officer bowed and replied, "Lord Hui, these are all Liao people from southern Liao, or Baoyi, or Han soldiers, who were coerced by Jiannu to attack Ningyuan. ”

Yang Jie nodded, his smiling appearance made people feel kind, and after looking at them one by one, he turned his head and handed over to the junior officer.

"They are all my Ming people, and they are also threatened by slaves when they attack Ningyuan, so you don't have to be afraid." Yang Jie smiled at these captives and said: [Bayi Chinese www.x81zw.xyz] "Go with this official, and stay in peace." ”

A dozen soldiers stepped forward and left the dock with the captives half-detained.

Although it is not very supportive, it seems that life is worry-free, and these people are a little relieved.

Yang Jie followed unhurriedly behind, thinking about the explanation in the emperor's secret recital.

Plotting a rebellion to rescue the Liao people in the Jiannu ruled area is one of the key tasks this year.

These prisoners were distributed according to geography, and some of them remained at the brigade for training; The other part will be transferred to Phi Dao, which will also become an espionage eyeline to infiltrate the Houjin occupation area.

Jiannu was defeated and besieged and blocked, and the lack of materials is certain. The Liao people in the occupied areas were already in slavery and oppression, coupled with hunger and cold, rebellion and escape were predictable.

This work of rebellion is not difficult in Yang Jie's opinion, but another top-secret work makes him not very optimistic.

The so-called top secret, but only the emperor and him know about it. Perhaps Gou Zhenhuai would have some news, but the emperor warned him not to let a third party know.

As soon as there is news, it is necessary to report directly to the emperor. This not only crossed the town of Dongjiang, but also crossed the Dengfu Yuan Keli, who controlled the Dongjiang River.

Such an arrangement is obviously extraordinary, and one can imagine how much the emperor expected of it.

Yang Jie pondered for this and came to the only conclusion that the emperor had another eyeliner spy report. Moreover, this eyeliner spy should be lurking in Houjin, and the level is not low.

Jiannu is definitely not, the level of the Han official is relatively high-Yang Jie can't think of it. But he thinks it's okay to conjecture, otherwise there is no way to explain it.

Actually, this is not what he just had. Before the Guangning War, he and many Jinyi guards were sent out, and they thought that the emperor had other intelligence channels besides the Zhenfu Division. It's just that I didn't think so deeply.

"Lord Yang." A greeting interrupted Yang Jie's thoughts, and when he looked up, it was Kong Youde.

Yang Jie had a smile on his face again, and arched his hand: "General Kong, it's rare!" ”

Kong Youde was a little jealous of this smiling fat man from the bottom of his heart, and when Dongjiang Town was first built, this smiling fat man took on the spy reconnaissance work.

once caught the living Jiannu for interrogation, it is said that he personally took it upon himself to pick off half of Jiannu's skin, and the scream -

What's even more frightening is that when Yang Jie presented his confession in the blink of an eye, he smiled as if nothing had happened.

Mao Wenlong privately reminded his cronies and generals not to provoke Yang Jie, it was Qin Ordered Yama.

Kong Youde quite agrees with this, you have a cold face and a violent temper, which is also a combination of words and deeds; But this smiling tiger is not something that a rough man like him can provoke.

This day is also a coincidence, and I walked on the other side. Kong Youde said hello hard, but he was also worried about the lack of etiquette, so don't let Yang Jie hold a grudge.

"This, go down to Fort Arthur to get military supplies." Kong Youde said: "Lord Yang, this is-"

Yang Jie smiled and said, "A little official business, it's not worth mentioning." General Kong, please don't delay. ”

Kong Youde hurriedly said goodbye, and walked out of a distance before rolling his eyes and letting out a long breath.

………………… Divider.........................

The lively carnival of the Shangyuan Festival has just passed, just like the need to collect your heart after a long holiday, the celebratory atmosphere of Jingshi has not completely dispersed, and people's smiles are more than usual.

Bi Ziyan had been ordered to enter Beijing two days earlier, but after reporting, the emperor did not summon him immediately. The holy decree was not too urgent, Bi Ziyan thought that he was coming too quickly, so he stayed in the post house and waited patiently.

During the festival, Bi Zisu, who was given a mansion by the emperor in the capital, entered Beijing and invited him to his home to celebrate the Shangyuan Festival together.

In just two days, Bi Ziyan already knew more about the court that he didn't know in Tianjin.

Although the brother Bi Zisu is rigorous and strong, when he talks with his brother, he still slightly reveals the focus of the work of the Metropolitan Procuratorate this year. As Bi Ziyan expected, the emperor really wanted to attack officials and businessmen.

It is not very accurate to say that it started, according to the emperor, it is rectification, or purge. If you want to be an official, don't do business, and if you want to make money, don't be an official.

As with clearing arrears and clearing up salaries, the emperor soon had to issue a holy decree with a limit of four months for officials and businessmen to choose. Or resign from the government and go to citizenship, or draw a line with business.

In Bi Ziyan's view, basically no one will choose to resign from the official position. Without an official position, and like ordinary people, which official would bear such a gap?

For some officials who are deeply involved, it is not only their own business, but also their families, relatives, and friends, and I am afraid it is not so easy and simple.

In particular, almost all of the powerful lords in Beijing were involved in business. Who doesn't have a few shops in Beijing, and who doesn't have the white gloves of running around business?

"The internal officials of the Nine Gates of the Admiral were taken over by Cao Huachun, the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division was Lu Xiangsheng, the new science and technology scholar who returned to Beijing from Guanzheng." Bi Zisu said the appointment of the emperor a few years ago, but he didn't say it deeply.

The Nine Gates Admiral was established in the Qing Dynasty, and in the Ming Dynasty, he was called the Admiral Nine Men Internal Officials. At first, he was mainly responsible for guarding the imperial palace, and then began to guard the gates of the capital, usually held by loyal and high-ranking eunuchs.

The Five Cities Terracotta Division was equivalent to the Public Security Bureau of later generations, responsible for patrolling the capital to arrest thieves, clearing streets and ditches, prisoners, and fire bans. Set up a commander, six products; There are four deputy commanders each, and there are seven grades.

Bi Ziyan understood as soon as he heard that the emperor had already mastered the Beijing camp, and he firmly held the defense and security of the capital in his hands, either to attack the powerful and nobles, or to prevent them from doing things.

I just nodded, and Bi Ziyan didn't ask much, so as to embarrass my brother. It is already extremely rare to be able to reveal these things to him, and there is a suspicion of revealing the holy will.

The crackdown on officials and businessmen is obviously also a positive for the Imperial Bank that he is about to take over. Many powerful officials do not do business directly, but take shares or lend money to businessmen.

Cutting off this road is just in the right favor for the development of the Imperial Bank's lending business.

Moreover, in terms of loan interest rates, the Imperial Bank is obviously lower than that of individual and private lending, and its competitiveness is still very strong.

"Long live the hard work, the wise and the martial, quite the style of a wise king." Bi Ziyan groaned and said slowly: "As a brother and a supervisor, I know that the war in Liaodong costs a lot. If there is no strategy to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, the country's finances may be in danger of collapse. ”

Bi Zisu nodded and said, "Brother is good at financial management and has economic ability, so his judgment is correct. However, he only cares about impeaching and investigating officials for lawlessness, and is in order to rectify discipline and rectify officials. ”

Bi Ziyan knows his brother's temper and is serious and responsible in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he will definitely offend many officials and magnates. But it is the duty to be diligent in the king's affairs.

And Bi Zisu served as the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and was called the "Seven Qings" along with the six Shangshu, which was really a rocket-like promotion. With this kind of grace, how can he not exhaust himself to repay his life?

As he was talking, someone from outside came to report, and the palace sent someone to summon Bi Ziyan to the Qianqing Palace to meet him.

Bi Ziyan didn't dare to slack off, quickly tidied up his clothes and appearance, and went to meet Long Live with the palace people.
