Xie Zheng's family arrived at the port.

Xie Qian didn't rest that day, and he was embarrassed to mention the matter of welcoming his son, but someone still gave him a holiday, when a hundred households named Xie Li came to tell him that he could have half a day to greet his family and reunite with his family, even though Xie Qian still had a straight face, but his heart was still a little warm.

"Elder Xie Ge, be careful, the carriage has been prepared, if you have something inconvenient, just arrange it."

Although Xie Li is a hundred Jinyi Wei households, he is not as arrogant and domineering as those Jinyi Wei in Xie Qian's impression, probably because of the same surname, and he is very polite to him.

After all, Xie Qian didn't even have a servant by his side, and he was indeed old and healthy, so he still needed Xie Li to help him before he could get into the car.

Although he felt a little unbearable in his heart, after all, his own child was also sent to the port to work as an errand because of his officialdom experience, but Xie Qian thought of being able to reunite with his family in such a place, and his heart was a little more relevant.

"In the past few years, I have always owed something to the people around me." Xie Qian pondered in his heart, in fact, he also planned to make up for the alienation of his wife and children here.

It is necessary to complete the transformation from the elder of a country to the head of a family.

……

……

Zhang Zhou has been busy building the railway station these days.

The railroad tracks also need to be laid, and many technical links can only be completed by him personally, and then he will send troops to Liaodong to lay out and listen to the battle report from Liaodong at any time.

“…… Six days ago, the men and horses brought out by Tang Zhongcheng from Korea had entered the land of southern Liaoning, and at the same time, the governor of Liaodong Yang had also led his troops and horses to Fushun, and the Jurchens had the vanguard to submit, but the rebels in central and southern Liaoning and other places still showed signs of westward advance, and the thieves and horses from all walks of life had also been assembled......"

Sun Shangqi was responsible for delivering the message to Zhang Zhou.

Now Sun Shangqi is probably equivalent to the chief of intelligence agents around Zhang Zhou, and this time Zhang Zhou brought him over, and he also asked him to come over to establish a set of intelligence systems.

This has been prepared for a long time, and with the help of Sun Shangqi's side, it will be more handy.

Zhang Zhou took off the heavy iron and steel clothes on his body, although it was winter, he was still covered with sweat, walked to the side and picked up the kettle and drank a few sips of water.

"The war in Liaodong, with Yang Yiqing and Tang Yin here, I'm not worried." Zhang Zhoudao, "Have Cui Yuan's men and horses landed on the shore?" ”

"Not yet." Sun Shangqi said, "It seems that the fleet of the Marquis of Jingshan has not docked yet, at least the news has not yet come back. If you want to spread the news, you can't take the sea route, you should still go to Shanhaiguan, or you have to wait. ”

"It's almost the end of the day." Zhang Zhoudao.

Sun Shangqi said: "Grandpa, there is one more thing ......"

Seeing Sun Shangqi's embarrassed appearance, Zhang Zhou couldn't help asking, "Is there anything that can't be said directly?" ”

"It's Xie Ge Lao." Sun Shangqi said, "Xie Ge Lao doesn't seem to be very suitable for the errand in front of him, the accounts he sorted out, etc., after several inspections after summarizing, there are a lot of mistakes, according to the rules formulated before, he should be sent to the shipyard, but ......"

Zhang Zhoudao: "A half-body body in the ground, give him a relatively easy job, he doesn't know how to cherish it." Didn't anyone teach him? ”

"Nobody...... Dare to go. Sun Shangqi was also speechless.

Xie Qian is also a pavilion elder no matter what he says, who has the courage to teach pavilion elders to do things?

Zhang Zhoudao: "How can you do it if you don't teach?" He probably thought he was capable. Every time he went back, he was probably still unconvinced. In this way, the person is transferred from the accounting office...... I'll arrange this. ”

In order for Zhang Zhou to complete one project after another, he must first make the accounts clear.

It is not only for the reasonable planning of the transfer of money and food, but also to avoid being settled in the future, I will give you a detailed record of every expenditure, to prevent the confusion of the accounts, an account after detailed accounting, and then through the record and sorting, the formation of an effective written record, for verification.

The amount of work involved in this matter is not small, and in order to ensure the development of handicrafts and heavy industries around Zhang Zhou, these necessary talents also need to be accumulated and cultivated.

"Where is he now?" Zhang Zhoudao, "It seems that his family members, these two days have arrived?" ”

"Yes, his eldest son, Xie Zheng, was sent to the port as an official, and the official is eight grades." Sun Shangqi said.

"That's bigger than Xie Yuqiao's official capital." Zhang Zhou had a smile on his face.

"Xie Ge's second son, Xie Pi, because he had gone out before, this time Xie Ge Lao was guilty, and this person was not involved. It was also His Majesty's understanding that allowed his son to continue to participate in the examination. Sun Shangqi said.

"Hmm."

Zhang Zhou nodded.

Xie Qian's second son, Xie Pi, was chosen as a son by Xie Qian very early on to his deceased younger brother Xie, which is also the most important factor for Xie Pi to avoid being involved after Xie Qian was convicted.

"Because I came here because I came here because of the derogation, I also arranged a place to live, but Xie Ge Lao usually can't live with them." Sun Shangqi said.

"It's nature." Zhang Zhou said, "Otherwise, others will think that he is here to support the elderly." He has come to work to atone for his sins. His Majesty's original intention cannot be violated, even if it is to give face, this face should not be too big, go and arrange it, imitate the treatment of Zhu Hui, the Duke of Baoguo, and see him once a month...... Forget it, let him see him once every ten years! He didn't do a good job, so he couldn't even see his family. Hehe. ”

The current Xie Qian is tantamount to being "handled" by Zhang Zhou.

Not doing a good job?

Not to mention going back to your hometown Yuyao, even if you want to see your wife and children, it will make you a luxury, so that you will always find trouble with these people if you have nothing to do, and now it is time for you to taste the taste of not doing to others what you do not want.

……

……

Liaodong.

Tang Yin and Xu Jing, as well as the North Korean general Park Yuanzong and others, with 30,000 soldiers and horses, finally entered the territory of Liaodong.

One ...... They were in a big trouble, short of food.

Although the North Korean side has been equipped with a lot of food, but because of the need to march urgently, Tang Yin urged tightly, and part of the military food was prepared for the Ming army, resulting in the North Korean soldiers themselves could not eat, the daily rations were compressed, and after entering Liaodong, the soldiers began to make trouble.

"This group of people, I don't know if it's paper paste, and before the battle is fought, they are shouting that they can't eat? If you have the ability, you will mutiny, don't say that it is the soldiers and horses of Liaodong, even if it is the Shenji battalion we bring, we can destroy them all! After Xu Jing went to the army to understand the situation, he went to the big tent of the Chinese army to talk to Tang Yin.

Xu Jing obviously didn't have any experience in leading troops, and when he saw Tang Yin, he complained.

Tang Yin said: "It's easy to kill, but after killing, don't you need to explain to the head of North Korea?" ”

"Confess what? When they sent people out, didn't they also see that these people were here to send them to death? They are close to the people sent by the royal city, some of them are quite elite, look at what they sent from the local area, basically the old, weak, sick and disabled are the most, right? It's not a shame to send out this group of people! ”

Xu Jing sighed, "I want to think about the old days, and the city of many walls ......"

"Hands-free!" When Tang Yin heard the name of this city, his heart fluttered, "The Jurchens are no longer in the climate now, and there will be no more multi-walled cities in the future." Did you send someone to say hello to Yang Yiqing? He is the governor of Liaodong, and it stands to reason that he should send a number of people to meet him. ”

Xu Jing said: "We are still nearly two hundred miles away from Shenyang Zhongwei, let Shenyang send people here...... Is that necessary? Bohu, are you worried...... What kind of mutiny did the North Koreans really make? If Governor Yang also sent someone, the credit may not be ours. ”

Tang Yin said coldly: "It doesn't matter who the credit is, I am now the chief of Jiliao military affairs, and the dispatch of soldiers is within the scope of my responsibility." ”

"Huh." Xu Jing smiled.

As if to say, you have a big official shelf.

What is the general system of Jiliao, there was no such official position before, the emperor gave you a seal, more to let you transfer troops from North Korea, in fact, how can the people of Liaodong be so easy for you to dispatch? Even if the soldiers listen to you, then Yang Yiqing will not listen to you.

"Have you found the direction in which the rebels have fled?" Tang Yin asked.

Xu Jing sat there and said with a leisurely look: "Still looking for rebels?" This passer-by has no time to take care of himself. I'm feeding people all day long, and I feel like I'm starving to death, and the key is that I don't understand what they're saying, and it's quite troublesome to find someone to ask and pass the word. If this Jurchen attack, I think we will really suffer! ”

"Do the Jurchens dare to come?" Tang Yin said, "If you really dare to come, it's fine." When the Jurchens migrated here, this strategy should have been wrong, the local government did not act, if I brought troops here and did nothing, wouldn't it be a laissez-faire for the Jurchens to behave indiscriminately? See if I don't catch them all, go south of Yunyun one by one! ”

Xu Jing said with a smile: "It's okay, if you catch one back, count it as one, and then you will tie up the flowers and send people to the south!" ”

……

……

Tang Yin personally led an army of 30,000 into Liaodong, which had a great impact on the local area.

The local government did not dare to deal with this way, and some local officials only knew that Tang Yin had brought all the way from North Korea, and those who did not know thought that the North Koreans had entered the territory of the Ming Dynasty and had a disobedient heart.

As the governor of Liaodong, Yang Yiqing has not done much in the past year, he has not done a good job in appeasement, and he has not made any achievements in attacking by force, and Yang Yiqing himself is also very worried.

The problem is that the Jurchens are divided into different clans, and their internal affairs are very complicated, even the written language is different between the Jurchens, and there are also internal disputes within themselves, and Wang Shouren's treatment of the Jurchens was more by force to suppress them, which led to the Jurchens being very resistant to the policies of the Ming Dynasty.

It is also related to the fact that the Jurchens rarely fought head-on with the Ming Dynasty.

Unlike the steppe Mongols, the Jurchens knew that they were no match for the regular Ming army, so they did not plan to engage head-on, attacking the Ming caravans and city-dwellers with stragglers, and then withdrawing immediately before the regular army arrived.

Cycle.

gave Yang Yiqing a headache.

This time, after Yang Yiqing also got the emperor's order, he immediately sent troops to Fushun, but in fact, there were more than a dozen inspection divisions set up by the Ming Dynasty to suppress the Jurchens around Fushun, and the number of Ming troops stationed in the local area exceeded 10,000.

"Lord Zhongcheng, there is news, that Tang Shilang did not go north, as if he didn't plan to fight with us, but went to the south! It was the right guard of Dingliao that walked, and that was the place where the Jurchens rebelled there. ”

"Tang Shilang also sent an official letter, indicating that we should transfer troops over. I didn't understand what he meant, this is to directly dispatch Liaodong soldiers and horses? But if you want to be a Jurchen, shouldn't you come to the northeast? ”

Yang Yiqing's staff Qian Wen hurriedly brought him news.

At this time, the more than 4,000 soldiers and horses led by Yang Yiqing have already passed Fushun, and further forward is the area where the Jurchens have been operating for hundreds of years.

Yang Yiqing said: "Could it be that he wants to cut off the connection between the northern and southern Jurchens, and then wait for the opportunity to break each one?" ”

"What did you say, sir?" Qian Wen didn't quite understand, Yang Yiqing could still seriously analyze Tang Yin's motives?

The general Li Yi came to the big tent of the Chinese army and said anxiously: "My lord, after the Jurchens learned that we were marching, there were still some Jurchens around Jianzhou Wei, but now they have all run away!" There are also two groups of people, who are said to have gone to the North Korean side, and some people say that they are also in collusion with the North Koreans. ”

Yang Yiqing frowned and said: "The matter of transferring troops from North Korea, this official has not been able to understand it until now. Fighting the Jurchens, just use my Ming soldiers, that is, the Koreans have no combat power, and after they come, they will disturb the local people's livelihood, from grain and grass to baggage, they can't be guaranteed, what's the point of using them? ”

Qian Wendao: "I heard...... This is an order from Cai Guogong? ”

Yang Yiqing asked: "Didn't you say that there are still Jizhou people led by the Marquis of Jingshan?" Is it there? ”

"Nope." Qian Wendao, "In addition to the people and horses of Hou Jizhou in Jingshan, there are also several people transferred from Shandong, Henan and other places, and they have not yet arrived. It is said that they all came by sea and came by boat, and it is said that they landed in southern Liaoning and other places...... It seems that the land of Liaodong is going to be lively! ”

Yang Yiqing said: "Ping Jurchen, you should fight north, start from there...... What is this statement? People from all walks of life eat, drink and Lazar, how can the court protect it? This is not a wild place, should the soldiers solve it on their own? ”

"That's not going to work." Li Yidao, "My lord, Liaodong is the land of my Ming Dynasty, and the people are all the people of our Ming Dynasty, how can they let the officials and soldiers come to us?" ”

"Or else? In such a war, if more than 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses are mobilized, like a pot of stew, just raising these soldiers and horses is enough to consume huge financial resources, and judging from the current situation of the imperial court, it is impossible to allocate enough money, food and materials. "Yang Yiqing knows the imperial court very well.

Every time there is a war, basically let all the people solve it on their own.

The soldiers basically brought their own rations.

It is not suitable to fight a long-term war, because the Ming soldiers are also responsible for Tuntian and other things, and they have to support themselves.

Qian Wendao: "Or ...... Play with the court......"

"No." Yang Yiqing said, "The war has just begun, and there has been no chaos yet, if this official plays with the court at this time, it is equivalent to telling the court that I am unable to maintain the stable situation in Liaodong." Although the land of Liaodong is now in charge of everything in the military affairs of Jiliao, when it comes to specific military affairs, I should come first. ”

"Pass the order, tomorrow I will continue to drive to the hinterland of the Jurchens, at least to take the lead, as long as the first battle is won, then how to report to the court, that is my final say! Otherwise, we will be led by the nose. (End of chapter)
