In fact, even if Fang Congzhe didn't come to see him today, Wanli would take the initiative to send someone to inquire about the border newspaper in Liaodong.

You say that he doesn't care about the life or death of the people, but only cares about his own pleasure, and he recognizes all of this.

But there is only one thing, if a foreigner dares to provoke the Ming Dynasty and take the initiative to provoke border troubles, he will definitely have zero tolerance.

Otherwise, there would not be the previous "Three Great Marches of Wanli".

But before, Da Ming relied on the foundation of "Zhang Juzheng's Change" and barely finished the "Three Great Expeditions of Wanli".

Now Wanli has been a "hands-off shopkeeper" for nearly 30 years, and this time the Jianzhou Imperial Court could not get any money at all, so he had to rely on the "Liao salary" to make up military expenses.

It is impossible for him not to attach importance to this life-and-death battle, so he made an exception today and summoned Fang Congzhe and Huang Jiashan at the same time.

Under the guidance of Chang Yun, the two soon came to Wanli.

For any courtier, it is a happy thing to have the privilege of witnessing Tianyan up close, especially Zhu Yijun, the Wanli Emperor, who basically does not appear in front of the courtiers.

After kneeling and bowing, Huang Jiashan staggered to his feet.

Four years ago, he had only seen Wanli once in the distance, and he couldn't remember His Majesty's appearance for a long time.

I saw a middle-aged man wearing a golden silk winged crown and a purple four-group dragon pattern round-necked robe sitting in front of him.

The 57-year-old Wanli Emperor is still in good spirits, and he looks much younger than the first assistant Fang Congzhe of the same age, but his figure is slightly bloated.

Wanli opened his mouth and said: "Two Aiqing, but there is a side newspaper from Liaodong!" ”

Huang Jiashan took out the "good news" and handed it to Chang An on the side and said: "Your Majesty, this is the good news sent by Yang Hao in Liaodong 600 miles. ”

Hearing that it was good news, Wanli was overjoyed, and said excitedly while watching: "The two Aiqing can rest assured, if the household silver is not enough, I will allocate funds from my own internal funds as a reward for the soldiers, and I must not chill the hearts of the soldiers in Liaodong." ”

If Emperor Wanli, who was usually a dime a dime, was willing to allocate silver from his own internal money, Fang Congzhe would have been happy a long time ago.

But when he heard this at this time, his face changed instantly.

I thought that Huang Benbing was really old and confused, and there was a saying that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

You directly said that this letter is good news, and your majesty's appetite is so high, and when he sees the death number, he must not be furious.

So he hurriedly explained, but before he could speak, he saw Wanli slam the so-called "good news" on the ground.

Then he scolded: "Bastard thing, Yang Hao is really a damn waste, the people and horses in the northwest are almost wiped out, and my Ming Dynasty has killed more than 40,000 soldiers, and he still has the face to report the victory?" ”

"And the two of you, you actually call this kind of defeat good news, don't you think I am a fool?"

Don't look at Emperor Wanli's bloated body and slightly baby fat face, it looks more honest, and some animals are harmless.

The majesty of this son of heaven is not covered, and with two sentences and a scolding, Huang Jiashan, who has been up and down in the sea for many years, is at a loss.

Fang Congzhe immediately said: "Please also ask Your Majesty to calm your anger, my Ming four roads have already clashed with Jianyu, although the northwest two roads have been defeated, but the southeast two roads have achieved a great victory, and captured the traitor Li Yongfang, and killed the enemy chief Abatai and Amin." ”

"It is commendable that Yang Jingluo was able to deal with it calmly and reverse the defeat under such an unfavorable start. At present, although there are mutual victories and defeats, our army is defeated first and then victorious; The enemy army is the first to win and then to lose. The morale is on my Ming side, the war is still ongoing, I believe that my Ming will be able to completely turn defeat into victory. ”

Huang Jiashan also hurriedly added: "The fiasco of the two armies in the northwest was caused by the commander of the Western Route Army, Jun Song, who did not listen to the order to advance lightly, and the commander of the Northern Route Army, Ma Lin, misresponded. It was the result of a command error, not that our Ming soldiers were defeated by the Eight Banners of Jianzhou. The Ministry of War has urged all the people who are still on the road to rush to Liaodong, and I believe that my Ming Dynasty will be able to rebuild the captives and turn defeat into victory. ”

Hearing the two say this, Wanli's face softened a little.

He knew that Yang Hao was recommended by Fang Congzhe, so he would naturally speak for Yang Hao, there were many questions in this battle report, and I am afraid that things are not so simple.

So he said: "You don't have to think that I don't know the soldiers, Yang Hao gave most of the elite of our Ming army to Juniper's Western Route Army, and as a result, the Western Route Army was almost wiped out in one day. Marin had already set up camp in advance to take precautions, and the Northern Route Army only held out for one day. Even if the two of them made a mistake in command, Jianyu was able to defeat the main force of our 50,000 Ming army in 2 days, which shows that its combat power is strong! ”

"That Liu Wei is also a fierce general in pacifying Banzhou, although the East Road General has suffered a heavy blow to the blue flag, his own casualties are greater than those of Jianyu."

"Only this Li Xianzhong of the Southern Route Army has a remarkable record, capturing and killing the enemy chieftain many times, annihilating the elite of the enemy army, and his own casualties are far less than those of Jianyu."

"Who is he, and has the reported beheading been verified?"

Wanli's series of soul torture ruthlessly exposed the cover-up of the two, and sure enough, His Majesty the Emperor was not easy to fool.

Huang Jiashan said: "Li Xianzhong is the righteous son of Li Rubai, the commander of the Southern Route Army, and his commander is the most elite Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Li family, so his combat power is not comparable to the ordinary Ming army, even the elite of Jianyu is not as good. ”

Liaodong Iron Cavalry, this name Wanli has not heard anyone mention it for a long time.

At the beginning, Li Chengliang ran Liaodong like an iron bucket, and even the imperial court couldn't intervene.

In recent years, although the imperial court has regained control of Liaodong from the Li family through various operations, with the decline of the Li family, the situation of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong has also taken a sharp turn for the worse.

If Li Chengliang or Li Rusong were still there, why did Liaodong end up in such a situation?

As a result, such a big circle was spared, and in the end, Da Ming still had to rely on the Li family to maintain the situation in Liaodong.

It's a bit ironic!

Wan Li said sharply: "The military department must carefully check the results reported by it, and don't make any jokes!" ”

In fact, Wanli didn't say that they would also check carefully, the court had no silver, and it would not be possible if they were not careful.

Huang Jiashan said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, at present, the heads of the thief chief Amin and Abatai have been sent to the Ministry of War, and other relevant gains are also on the way to Beijing, and the old minister must carefully check it!" ”

Then Wanli's face sank, and he said: "The way to govern the army cannot be a four-word reward and punishment; He also asked the Ministry of War and the Cabinet to find out the ins and outs of this battle, and those who have made meritorious contributions will be rewarded heavily, and those who have done so will be absolutely severely punished. ”

When they heard the words "severe punishment and no loans", the two glanced at each other, and it seemed that someone still had to take the blame!

Then Wanli said impatiently: "I'm a little tired today, the two Aiqing should step back first, if there is the latest progress in Liaodong, it can be reported in time." ”

At this time, the atmosphere in the Qianqing Palace was naturally reluctant to stay longer, and hurriedly retired.

After the two left, Wanli pointed to the "good news" on the ground and said to Chang Yun: "You show me, how many truths are there in Yang Hao's report?" ”

Chang Yun looked at it carefully, and then said cautiously: "Yang Jingluo's report is generally not bad, but it is ......."

Wanli glanced at Chang Yun and said, "You don't have to swallow and vomit, my body can withstand it." ”

In fact, Wanli's health is not good, his right leg is sick, his mobility is inconvenient, and his body is obese, which is often accompanied by symptoms of chest tightness and heartache. Even once when he was seriously ill, he had already begun to explain his future life, but fortunately, he survived in the end.

However, since His Majesty had spoken, Chang Yun could only continue: "The Northwest Route Army has no basis for destroying tens of thousands of enemies, although we cannot find out the specific number of casualties in Jianyu, but the loss should be very small, and it is absolutely impossible to have the record of destroying tens of thousands of enemies." ”

At this time, Wanli Qingjin burst out and said angrily: "In this way, Jianyu quickly defeated my Ming Dynasty's 50,000 main force at a very small price!" ”

Then he asked again: "Is Li Xianzhong's record exaggerated?" ”

Li Xianzhong's record is too prominent, and Wanli has already decided in his heart that Yang Hao has received the good benefits of the Li family, so he spoke for him like this.

Chang Yun said: "According to the news from Liaodong, it is absolutely true that Li Xianzhong attacked Hetuala, and his beheading and capture cannot be faked at all. Not only can people in Li Rubai's army prove it, but even the inside line of the East Route Army also said so. ”

"He brought back thousands of Jianzhou's old and weak heads, and he didn't report his military merits originally, but it was Yang Hao who asked him to report these heads as auxiliary soldiers for killing."

Hearing this, Wanli's face softened a lot, at least the great victory of the people in the southeast was real.

But think about it, a thief chieftain you can say that he is a blind cat and a dead mouse. Capturing Li Yongfang alive, beheading two enemy chieftains in a row, and beheading so many people, how could he have done it fakely?

Then he said: "This Li Xianzhong is good, you must find out about his situation for me." ”

Chang Yun said: "The old slave will send someone to investigate, but according to the latest news, Jianyu has already entered the border wall of Liaodong, and I am afraid that there will be a big war next." ”

Wanli had to let out a sigh helplessly, he understood that this Jianyu had risen, and I was afraid that Liaodong would not be peaceful in the future, and silver would continue to fill this bottomless pit.

However, as long as he survives, he must continue to conquer Jianzhou until his clan is destroyed and his species is destroyed!
