On the eighteenth day of the first month of the ninth year of Chongzhen, Yang Chengying stood in the north city tower of Shenyang in a robe, looking at the queue of troops marching north, and his heart was full of emotion.

It was snowing heavily.

However, it happened to be the most suitable time for marching.

When the rain passes, the ice and snow melt, and then march, it is called uncomfortable.

The road surface is muddy.

Now, a thick layer of ice underground, too, also plays a role in lubrication.

In the marching procession, there were also Cao Bianjiao and Wang Fuchen.

They were supposed to wait until the horses of the three Khans of Transkhalkha arrived, and then set off from Shenyang.

However, Wang Fuchen said, "A good man should experience wind, frost, rain and snow, how can there be a reason to be a house", which persuaded Cao Bianjiao.

The two of them took more than 400 cavalrymen and left with Zilharang and others.

The line is long, and there is no end in sight.

Yang Chengying always stood in the city tower, watching them leave.

If he didn't leave, Fan Wencheng and the others who participated in the send-off could only stand in the wind and snow.

Ning Wan I was worried that Yang Chengying would be frozen after a long time, and relying on my identity as a veteran, I walked behind Yang Chengying:

"The king, Zilharang and the others have also gone away."

"I'll stand a little longer." Yang Chengying withstood the cold wind and said: "This farewell, goodbye is not just when." ”

"Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the people down there, who have been freezing here with you." I reminded in a whisper.

Yang Chengying turned around and saw that everyone's faces were already red from the cold.

"If you don't go, they won't dare to go." Ning Wan whispered again.

"Okay."

Yang Chengying moved his feet and walked down the tower at the north gate.

I'll follow.

As soon as he left, all the officials breathed a sigh of relief and dispersed.

Yang Chengying cautiously stepped on the snow-covered steps, and he asked, "You say, am I so scared now?" ”

"You can get someone's attention even if you cough now."

Ning Wan said with a smile: "Because you are the sky of Shenyang, there are wind, thunder and rain clouds in the sky, and the will of heaven is unpredictable and changeable, and the officials should be very careful." ”

"Really? Then why aren't you afraid of me at all? ”

Yang Chengying said half-jokingly.

"The minister has been playing for the longest time because he has been following the king for the longest time. The king tolerated the ministers, and the ministers dared to speak like this, and the others were more or less distant from the king, so they didn't dare. ”

"Hey! It seems that the three words 'Yang Chengying' will become my own in the future. ”

"It's not all, Emperor Chongzhen can call you by your name."

"Oh, yes, yes, haha...... I almost forgot about my majesty. ”

The two chatted and went down the steps.

He was also followed by the left attendant of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lang Yingordai, and the left attendant of the Imperial Court.

With the passage of time, Yang Chengying excused the lack of manpower after the restructuring, relieved Yue Zhi of the military power, and transferred to the left squire of the Li Domain, which was actually in charge of the management of the Domain.

To see them off, you can't all come, someone has to stay behind.

So only the first deputy came to each department.

Because Dai Shan was old, he was allowed not to come out to see him off.

"How's Bomu Bogol settled?"

Yang Chengying turned around and asked loudly.

Yue is responsible for this.

Yue Zhen replied: "According to the king's instructions, his family has been placed in a courtyard in the south of the city, and more than ten mothers-in-law, twenty maids and servants have been sent to serve them. ”

"Bomu Bogol is just a little traitor, how can he be worthy of such a waste of money and such a proper placement by the king."

Ying Erdai took over the conversation, "Back then, Huang Taiji sent people to expedition to Heilongjiang, and he sent people to offer mink to express his submission.

Because I want to be big in the north, and I don't pay tribute.

Since he was captured by the king, he should be punished as an example. ”

In the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ning Wan I belongs to the gambling style, and Ying Ordai belongs to the hawks.

"Not only will I not kill him, but I will also eat and drink well."

Yang Chengying said with a smile: "Speaking of Bomu Bogol, how is Lin Danhan's recent situation?" ”

This is also Yue Zhen's errand.

Yue Zhi replied: "At first, I didn't like to eat much, and I was depressed. It's much better now, still walking around the yard and eating more than before. ”

"That's good, I wish him a long life." Yang Chengying said with a smile.

Ying Erdai and Yue Yu looked at each other, a little confused.

They all wondered if King Zhou was too merciful, but seeing his decision to kill, he didn't look like a benevolent person at all.

Seeing this, Yang Chengying smiled: "You guys, think about everything. Don't just scratch things the surface, think about it here. He pointed to his head with his right hand.

Ying Erdai still didn't understand, and asked: "The king did this, could it be that there is still a deep meaning?" ”

"It's easy to kill someone, but it's hardest to keep him alive."

Yang Chengying had no choice but to explain: "As long as Lin Dan Khan lives for one day, Namu Zhong and Qiuketu Taiji, who are far away in Qinghai, will be firmly tied together. The little taijis, who thought I had broken the Mongolian traditions, followed around Namzhong. ”

"On the grounds of rescuing Lin Dan Khan, he firmly controlled his subordinates and became enemies of the Great Zhou."

Yue asked puzzledly, "The minister can't see it, what good is this for us?" ”

"The good thing is that they are like wedges stuck in Qinghai between the Oirat Mongols and the Tibetan Yellow Sect."

Yang Chengying said: "Without Oirat Mongolia, the Yellow Sect would be overwhelmed by the Tibetan Zangba Khan. When I have the ability to remove the big stone on the head of the Yellow Sect, then I will be the biggest benefactor of the Yellow Sect in Tibet. ”

Ying Erdai and Yue Yu suddenly realized that there was still this meaning.

They instantly understood why the king was kind to Bomu Bogol, which would prepare the chiefs of the Sauron tribe.

As long as you completely surrender to the king, you will not have to worry about your life.

Although Bomu Bogol has no intention of surrendering, it does not prevent Yang Chengying from publicizing it like this.

"In two days, I'm leaving."

Yang Chengying suddenly said: "If you stay in Shenyang, you should pay more attention to the east to avoid being caught off guard by the Oirat Mongols." ”

"With Li Dingguo watching from the east, it's not a big problem."

Ning Wan said: "It's to the south, and the situation in the imperial court seems to be a little bad. ”

"What's going on?" Yang Chengying was a little surprised.

"I got the news from the south that the imperial court has been throwing troops in the southwestern mountains for many years, with little success. I even wonder if Yang Sichang lied in his recital. ”

"There's this possibility, this slippery head, very shrewd."

Yang Chengying changed his words: "But you don't have to stare too much at the south, with the current situation, it has not yet reached the point of being out of control." ”

"Anyway, when the king returns, there shouldn't be any big mess in the south."

Ning Wan was a little anxious: "King, are you really not in a hurry at all?" ”

"What's the hurry?" Yang Chengying was not in a hurry at all.

He thought in his heart that it took him more than ten years to finally eliminate Houjin, and he could wait another ten years.

"It's like old wine, the more time it gets, the more fragrant it becomes." Yang Chengying added.

Ying Erdai and Yue Yu glanced at each other and had a deep understanding of this sentence.
