Chapter Twenty-Nine: Li Xianzhong's Cave Room Flower Candle Horqin Changed the Door (Seeking to Book a Monthly Pass)
This time to recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors was really much beyond Li Xianzhong's expectations.
Compared with his identity, he was more surprised by the changes in the Li family in Liaodong.
Although he knew that Li Rusong's death was a huge blow to the Li family, he never imagined that the Li family, who was covering the sky in Liaodong back then, would be "wiped out" overnight.
With such a large amount of energy, he immediately thought of Emperor Wanli.
However, this answer was soon denied by Li Xianzhong.
Obviously, Li Rusong's death and the instant collapse of the Li family are not in line with Wanli's interests.
Originally, he could control the military power through Li Rusong, but his control over the army declined.
And judging from Wanli's attitude towards Li Chengliang later, he still trusts the Li family and has no intention of killing them all.
Then the only way to look for the driving force behind the scenes is from the perspective of vested interests.
First of all, the collapse of the Li family will definitely be beneficial to the other generals of the Ming Dynasty.
The Ma family, which is called "East Li Xima" and the Li family, is a vested interest.
Ma Gui replaced Li Rusong to command the second phase of the campaign to resist Japanese aggression and aid Korea, this change actually came very suddenly, and anyone who reads this period of history for the first time will feel a little confused.
After all, Li Rusong defeated the Japanese in Pyongyang, annihilating more than 11,000 enemies, and the Ming army suffered a 1-15 battle loss.
It can be said that in this battle alone, Li Rusong surpassed any of the great victories achieved by his father Li Chengliang in Liaodong and established his status as a world-famous general.
This undoubtedly proves the correctness of Wanli's employment.
In the subsequent battle of Bihuoguan, although Li Rusong was a little rash, he encountered an ambush, which caused the Liaodong Iron Cavalry under his command to suffer heavy losses.
The Ming army faced the 40,000 Japanese invaders with 5,000 people, and successfully broke out of the encirclement.
In this battle, 15 Japanese generals were killed, and five or six thousand enemy troops were killed.
At least it was a draw.
After that, the sudden change of commander of the Ming army in Korea is still somewhat puzzling.
But if combined with Li Rusong's "accidental death" and the fact that the Li family's henchmen and generals were "killed" by their own people on the Korean battlefield, this is just a layout for them to deal with the Li family.
After the fall of the Li family, Ma Lin took over as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong for a time, although he did not work for long, but the power of the Ma family began to take root in Kaiyuan.
Of course, the Mongols who were thugs were also vested interests, and the Liaodong Iron Cavalry led by Li Rusong used them as copies every day to brush silver.
The Li family in Liaodong has collapsed, and their lives will be much better.
But the real driving force behind the scenes should be the civilian clique of the Ming Dynasty.
As early as the sixteenth year of Wanli, the imperial historian Ren Yangxin wrote: "The Li family's military power is too prosperous. The in-laws are nutrient and manipulative, thousands of miles around Shenjing, vertical and horizontal, unshakable. Such as cypress greed, especially domineering. If you don't plan early, I'm afraid he will change. ”
So Emperor Wanli relieved Li Rubai of his military power, and Li Chengliang directly wrote to ask Wanli to relieve the Li family's children of military power, but Wanli rejected his proposal and expressed relief.
After that, he still tried his best to override public opinion and reused Li Rusong as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, not only pacifying the Battle of Ningxia, but also commanding the battle of the Ming Dynasty.
It shows that there are major differences between Wanli and the civil official group on the matter of reusing the Li family.
Li Xianzhong even suspected that someone had reported to the Japanese in advance in the first battle of the Blue Hoof Pavilion.
This incident is most likely due to the collusion between the civilian official group of the Ming Dynasty and the military generals, and the Li family in Liaodong was disintegrated in one fell swoop.
In the end, the Wanli Emperor was reluctantly forced to accept this result.
During this period, the Donglin Party took advantage of the opportunity of the "national capital dispute" to rise, and only 3 years later, Wanli lost the "national capital dispute", and finally began to reluctantly and completely rot.
Or perhaps suppressing and disintegrating the Li family is just a means for them to win this "national capital dispute".
In fact, everyone ignored the real biggest beneficiary after the collapse of the Li family, that is, Nurhachi's Jianzhou Jurchen.
Although there is no evidence pointing to them in the ambush against Li Rusong 21 years ago, this ambush against Li Xianzhong was obviously provoked by Jianzhou behind his back, which makes people wonder if they were involved in the first place.
Li Xianzhong suddenly felt that the complexity of this matter far exceeded the "Three Major Cases of the Ming Palace", and it seemed that the Intelligence Department should pay more attention to the relevant clues.
Li Rubai's reminder to himself is very timely, if he doesn't restrain himself, he is likely to be the next Li Rusong.
His future style of behavior should be more low-key, and this high-profile wedding will become a reason for the Donglin Party to impeach him.
But right now, getting married is the top priority.
Soon, Li Xianzhong and Hazia walked to the ceremonial platform with the support of the waiter.
Then there is the most familiar "three worships".
Worship heaven and earth.
Second, worship your parents.
Husbands and wives worship each other.
However, when worshipping his parents, people found that in addition to Li Xianzhong's father-in-law Li Rubai, Li Rusong's tablet also appeared.
Soon the news that Li Xianzhong was born from Li Rusong, and that he had officially recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors.
However, with Li Xianzhong's current status in the Li family, it doesn't matter if he was born.
The guests who came today are more interested in Li Xianzhong's current status, rather than the Liaodong Li family behind him.
This news still sparked a lot of discussion.
Today's Ning Yuanbo Li Shizhong is seriously ill, and I am afraid that his days are numbered, and he has no heirs under his knees.
The Li family announced Li Xianzhong's true identity at this time, and the intention behind it inevitably made everyone think about it.
Even Zheng Yangxing said half-jokingly: "It turns out that Xianzhong is really the heir of the Li family, if he can inherit the title of Earl Ning Yuan one day, it will be equivalent to our status." ”
Although Li Xianzhong now has his own place in the noble circle in the capital, the identity of the Li family's righteous son is indeed a little despised.
Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, didn't think much of Zheng Yangxing's words, and their Zheng family naturally had the best to be unruly in the world.
It's a pity that Concubine Zheng is not a queen no matter how favored she is, and Zhu Changxun is still just a blessed king.
He said with a smile: "Even if Uncle Ning wants to inherit again, and there is his second brother Li Xingzhong in front of him, I'm afraid it will not be the turn of the loyal brother." ”
In order not to make Zheng Yangxing too embarrassed, he then said: "However, Brother Xianzhong is favored by His Majesty, and this matter is really a little uncertain." ”
Then the two of them drank each other.
After the three bows, Li Xianzhong used the prepared weighing rod to pick up the hijab on the bride's head, which means: satisfactory.
Hazia was wearing a phoenix crown at this time, and she looked no different from a woman from the Han family.
She already has a delicate face, but she looks even more beautiful and moving against the backdrop of this dress.
At this time, the wine glass in the hand of Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, was actually overturned, and it was really Hazia's appearance that shocked him.
He said excitedly: "No wonder Xianzhong was not interested in Little Miss Wu at all in Mianyue Tower, it turns out that the bride is so good-looking." ”
Seeing that Cheng Guogong's lustful old problem had been committed again, Zheng Yangxing on the side hurriedly pretended to cough twice to remind him to pay attention to his words and deeds.
Fortunately, everyone's attention was on the newcomer at this time, otherwise Zhu Chunchen would really not end well.
Subsequently, they successively held the Wo Yu Ceremony, the Prison Ceremony, and the Closing Ceremony.
Li Xianzhong personally untied the marriage tassel on Hazia's head and completed the steps of "untying".
Then he cut a bunch of hair from each of their heads, combed it with the red tassel that Li Xianzhong had untied before, and put it into the prepared bag, symbolizing that the two were firmly united.
This is also known as "knotting", and after completing this step, they officially become a couple.
After the knot was untied, Li Xianzhong and his wife began to thank the guests.
The wedding banquet was grand, and the two of them were busy, and it was not until they got close to the child that the couple was counted in the cave room.
Although Hazia didn't understand the moral behind these complicated processes, it was worth it to finally be alone with Li Xianzhong.
This process made the two a little tired, but it didn't seem to affect their interest.
Although it wasn't the first time, this damn sense of ritual made the two of them still a little unable to let go.
Hazia's face flushed slightly, and despite her heart's desire, she remained in an upright position.
Seeing her like this, Li Xianzhong felt a little funny, so he decided to tease her.
Li Xianzhong said seriously: "From now on, we will be married and married." However, for her husband to fight all day long, I can't figure out that I will die on the battlefield one day, so I specially wrote a poem for my mother, so that you can leave a memory. ”
Then he slowly chanted again:
"Married as husband and wife, there is no doubt about love.
Joy is in tonight, grace and good time.
Zhengfu has a long way, what is the night?
The ginseng is gone, go and resign.
The march is on the battlefield, and there is no time to see each other.
Shake hands and sigh, tears are goodbye.
Try to love Chunhua, don't forget the joyful time.
Life should come back, death should be Sauvignon Blanc. ”
Although Hazia didn't fully understand the full meaning of the poem, at this time the tears were already rolling in her eyes, she couldn't control her emotions anymore, and soon leaned towards Li Xianzhong, the distance between the two was getting closer and closer, and her breathing began to become rapid.
The moment their lips touched, it was like a river bursting its banks, and they could no longer hold back each other's heart's desires
After lingering several times, Li Xianzhong slept directly until dawn.
Although he was reluctant to disturb his own major general, at the urging of Steward Li, Li Sanshun still woke up Li Xianzhong.
Out of courtesy, he should still go and say goodbye to the guests who came to congratulate him yesterday.
When he learned that he had received more than 300,000 taels of silver this time, Li Xianzhong was directly happy.
In this way, after removing the expenses, I also made a net profit of 200,000 taels of silver, it seems that this pomp is still beneficial, and the gift money is also rising.
However, Li Xianzhong only took half of it, after all, this wedding was mainly organized by the Li family, and he was embarrassed to take too much.
When he wanted to give his eldest brother Li Shizhong a careful diagnosis after sending off the guests, he found that he did not stay in Tieling to recuperate, but returned directly to the capital.
To be honest, he was still a little sad, this was probably the last time the two brothers would see each other!
In fact, it is not only Li Shizhong, most of the Li family has moved to the capital at this time, and there are not many clansmen left in the old mansion in Tieling.
Soon calm returned to the place.
Of course, Hazia will soon move to the capital.
Because Wanli has already given Li Xianzhong a mansion in the capital.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was obvious, that is, to ask Li Xianzhong to leave his family in Beijing.
After Yuan Yingtai succeeded to the Liaodong Economic Strategy, he made a lot of moves.
Constantly increasing the number of troops in the Liaodong region, especially near Kuandian Fort in the south, the strength of the Ming army has increased from 3,000 to 10,000 during the original Xiong Tingbi period.
Moreover, there have been many skirmishes between the Ming army and Jianzhou near Kuandian.
Li Xianzhong was also very helpless about this kind of move.
Xiong Tingbi originally sent 3,000 white pole soldiers to station, which was actually just right.
It can not only ensure that the Tartars will not be able to capture Kuandian Fort for a while, but the demand for food is not so great, even if it is surrounded by the Tartars, it can hold on for a period of time.
This creates more options for the breakdown.
But there are some problems with Yuan Yingtai sending 10,000 main forces to garrison.
It seems that the garrison has been strengthened, but if it is surrounded by Tartars, the pressure on the grain will increase several times at once.
Moreover, he concentrated his main forces on Kuandian Fort, and the follow-up support force would be greatly reduced.
The main forces are surrounded, who will come to the rescue of the main forces?
This is an obvious way of playing without regard for the head, and it is completely at the level of amateur military enthusiasts.
Even if you want to attack Hetuara through Kuandian, you don't need to station the main army so early, you can wait until the eve of the attack to send the army over.
This year's "Liao Salary" has not yet been collected, and at this time, the imperial court is simply unable to launch a large-scale campaign against Jianzhou.
He really sweated for the Ming army in the south, and hoped that Yuan Yingtai wouldn't go too far!
Thanks to the containment of the southern front, Jianzhou on Kaiyuan Road is much more honest, and Nurhachi did not harass Kaiyuan or trouble Yehe.
On the contrary, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry and the Assault Battalion often went out of Guangshun Pass to inspect the ground in Jianzhou.
However, the dark tide began to surge in the grassland, and the great Lin Dan Khan was not satisfied with the superficial submission of Horqin, and wanted to take advantage of their weakened strength to join Zaisai to annex the three left wings of Horqin.
At this time, Horqin finally found that Jianzhou was unreliable, and due to Ye He's blockage, the route of Jianzhou to support Horqin would become very distant.
But Jianzhou couldn't get Ye He out for a long time, especially Li Xianzhong's luxurious wedding, which made them feel that Jianzhou was no longer able to annex Ye He.
So the three left-wing departments of Horqin also began to look for new backers, and finally looked around and found that the only person they can rely on now seems to be Li Xianzhong.
But before that, Korqin took the initiative to contact Chahar and the Flower Fried Department to intercept Li Xianzhong's welcoming team.
Li Xianzhong also swept the Horqin Department twice, and the two sides had already formed a relationship.
So Manggusi of the Korqin tribe discussed with Ming Anyi and decided to make peace with the Yehe tribe first.
Soon they sent some cattle and sheep to apologize for cooperating with Jianzhou to attack Ye He.
He also said that in the future, he would never participate in the dispute between Yehe and Jianzhou.
Buyangu and Jintaiji had long been exhausted by Jianzhou, and naturally they were unwilling to continue to fight with Horqin.
Although Horqin's promise may not be reliable, it is good to have one less enemy even for the time being, at least they will not have to suffer from the enemy on their backs.
In addition, the two sides have been allies for many years, and there is always some friendship.
Soon they swore an oath in the city of Yeh that the two sides would coexist peacefully and not invade each other.
Of course, Korqin's move was not the intention of the drunkard.
Soon after, Manggus proposed that he hoped to reach a reconciliation with Li Xianzhong, and asked Buyangu, the "old man", to help make peace.
Soon Buyangu came to Kaiyuan City with 200 horses provided by the Horqin tribes, as well as some sheepskins, mare's milk wine and other gifts.
Now that the intelligence department's intelligence network in the grassland has become more and more perfect, Li Xianzhong has long been familiar with the wind and grass on the grassland.
There is a saying that "reach out and don't hit the smiling person", and he has no reason not to accept the gifts sent to the door, not to mention that he still has to give Buyangu a face.
Li Xianzhong said: "The Jianzhou Nuzhen is the mortal enemy of my Ming Dynasty, as long as Horqin cuts off contact with Jianzhou, I can guarantee the safety of the Horqin Department." ”
Originally, Li Xianzhong also planned to "eat white food", and he did not believe that Horqin would openly sever relations with Jianzhou.
Although Jianzhou and the Korqin tribe have not formally formed an alliance, they have had many marriages, and the two sides have basically become an alliance.
Therefore, he not only accepted Horqin's gift, but also put forward conditions that they couldn't accept, which could be regarded as a certain amount of face for his father-in-law.
To him, Korqin is a "little fat sheep".
If you don't keep the wool, you still have to protect them?
Unless it's water in your head, and it's still boiling water!
However, it turns out that Li Xianzhong's brain may really be in the water, because the Third Department of the Left Wing of Horqin expressed its willingness to announce the severance of contact with Jianzhou and firmly stood on the side of the Ming Dynasty.
Not only that, Manggus even expressed his hope that his granddaughter Hai Lanzhu would marry Li Xianzhong as a concubine.
This old dog is really brazen, if it weren't for Bu Mu Butai's too young age, it is estimated that he would offer to be a concubine for himself together.
To be honest, this Hai Lanzhu is really good-looking, although she is only ten years old and is still in a budding state, but it is obviously a beautiful embryo.
Even compared to Hazia, it can be regarded as each with its own merits!
No wonder the future emperor Taiji will die for her love.
But it has only been a month since he married Hazia, and at this time it is a little unreasonable to take a concubine, not to mention that Hai Lanzhu is only ten years old now.
So much so that Li Xianzhong strongly suspected that Manggus, the old dog, was moved by his crooked mind because he saw the rich dowry he gave to Ye Hebu.
He may not know much about the rules of Han marrying, and he doesn't need to pay a dowry for a concubine at all, and he doesn't even need to hold a ceremony to accept it.
However, if Horqin's support for the establishment of the state can be cut off, it will also be a very advantageous thing.
Li Xianzhong said that Hai Lanzhu was too young, so they could get engaged first and then get married in a few years.
Anyway, Hazia didn't have any playmates in the capital, so he simply sent Hai Lanzhu and Bumu Butai over to Hazia.
Whether it is Yehe or Mongolia, it is normal for their Baylor to marry multiple women, and Hazia should not have any ideas.
What's more, Hai Lanzhu is just a little girl now.
As for whether Horqin has really severed contact with Jianzhou, anyway, with Fan Yongdou here, Li Xianzhong will soon get accurate information.
If they fool themselves, then of course their promise to Horqin will not be established, and it will naturally be invalid.
However, soon Li Xianzhong was engaged to Hai Lanzhu, and the news of the severance of contact between Horqin and Jianzhou still spread among the various departments of the grassland and the land of Liaodong.
