Chapter 308: Shenyang, Ning Wan, I withdraw my seat
"For the sake of the country and the country, the emperor will not allow justice."
Hong Chengchou smiled calmly, stroked his long beard, pondered for a long time, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "Maybe I am arrogant. There is no reason in the world for a minister to reach out to his father. I am afraid that as soon as I put this seal on my watch, there will be a big commotion in Wutai. It's a domineering hat. They hate that I, Hong Hengjiu, don't wear it high enough. But I can't be more arrogant! Yang Junmen in front of me is a lesson learned from the past. The failure of the Fu Bureau was due to the lack of money to place the thieves, so that Xuan Fu Rebellion!
It can be said that I am not a high-ranking official, but at the moment I don’t have timely pay from within, and there is no immediate support from the outside. If we don’t urgently increase the number of troops and provide large pay, as a once-and-for-all plan, I am afraid that the officers and soldiers will rush to the east and the thieves will gallop to the west. , it has become a difficult situation for many years. Then I, the governor, have come to an end. Please know that the Holy Emperor sent me to this northwest, not to be a parent officer, but to calm down chaos and kill people. of!
If this chaos cannot be quelled, I will not be able to protect my official title. Unlike the previous Song Dynasty, this dynasty did not kill scholar-bureaucrats. Since the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, the heads of these scholar-bureaucrats have been very worthless. To fight chaos, you must have money. Without money, I am afraid that I will end up worse than Yang Junmen. But I don’t have this money, and Shaanxi does not have it. Only the imperial court has it. If the imperial court does not give it, it will force me, Hong Heng, to die nine times. !
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, knows that I have suffered nine hardships, but I am not afraid of the princes in the court. I am not afraid of anything else. I am afraid of those princes in power and those individuals. Each one of them fails to achieve anything and fails more than others. They only have one party in their eyes. A self-interested gentleman!" When Hong Chengchou said the last word, his tone was really sad and angry, and he was obviously dissatisfied with the imperial court being controlled by Donglin. (Author's note: Wutai, the name of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Kedao Yanguan) [
Although Du Wenhuan is the right governor, he usually only knows how to go into battle and charge with a sword. How have he ever experienced these principles? In the Ming Dynasty, the nobles were noble and the military was low. All the princes in the court were not good at debating a word, but this time, Hong Chengchou listened to Full of complaints, directed at the Donglin Party members, I was frightened for a moment and did not dare to echo even a single sentence. In the end, I could only clasp my hands and say cautiously: "I hope the Holy One can understand your Lord's painstaking efforts and approve this seal."
"The more you give, the more you ask for! I am now at the forefront. In just three years, I have been involved in politics, governor, and governor, and now I have been demoted to governor. This is to make meritorious deeds. It is better to perform meritorious deeds than to perform deeds." Speaking of how big my fault is, can the imperial court not know? Is it my fault that the bandits in the Central Plains are making trouble? I have relied on the three thousand Hong soldiers trained by myself in the past two years. The rest of the soldiers will be The one who is in my hands is you, Mr. Du, who only came under my command a few years ago. You have no soldiers or generals. It’s strange that this chaos can be calmed down. Hey, I don’t know how many pairs of eyes there are in this world. They are all watching, and I dare to say that if I am careless in the slightest, I will be doomed!"
Having said this, Hong Chengchou lowered his eyelids, like an old monk in meditation, adjusted his breathing for a moment, opened his eyes, his eyes were shining, and he cupped his hands toward the capital and said: "The emperor's kindness is so great, I can only do my best to wipe out the bandits as soon as possible." Sacred Heart!”
Du Wenhuan was startled by Hong Chengchou's sudden change, and instinctively bowed his head and said: "Wen Huan is willing to follow your Excellency and swear to kill the thief!"
"Now that God's work has been completed, Yansui and Guyuan can be stabilized. The next step is"
Hong Chengchou was about to give Du Wenhuan secret instructions when he suddenly heard a commotion not far away. Wang Fucheng, the bodyguard, ran in and reported: "There is an old woman outside who calls herself Wang Zhao with a big bag on her shoulders. She is clamoring to see the Lord. She can't stop her at all. Come on, I came straight here."
"What's the matter?" Hong Chengchou frowned slightly, slightly unhappy.
Wang Fucheng said: "She said she has brought food to you."
"Oh?" Hong Chengchou suddenly stood up and walked in the direction of the noise, while scolding Wang Fucheng: "You bastard, since she is a reward from the people, why do you want to stop her? She has been with me for a long time and you don't know the rules. Yet!"
When I got to the place, I saw an old woman with gray hair standing there, pleading to the guards: "Brother, let me go in and see Governor Hong. I have no bad intentions, old woman!"
"No! Your Excellency is busy with important matters in the army. How can I have free time to see you, old man..."
The guards were scolding each other, but when they heard the sound of footsteps behind them, Hong Chengchou strode past him and asked the mother-in-law harmoniously: "What do you want to see me about, mother-in-law?"
"Master Hong!" The old woman suddenly became excited when she saw Hong Chengchou in official uniform. Thinking that she had been carrying the pocket for a long time, she staggered a few times and almost fell. She put the pocket on the ground and wiped her forehead with her sleeve. Sweating heavily, he said in a trembling voice: "I'm sending food to Mr. Hong!"
Seeing that the old woman was in her sixties, Hong Chengchou's eyes were slightly red, and he waved his hand and said: "I see that you are old and have a lot of talent, and your life must be difficult. How can I ask for your food? You can take this food back to your home. edible."
After hearing this, the old woman smiled sadly and said: "To be honest with you, my old woman saved the food she had for seeds, which is the best river yellow rice. I was originally a family of five, but my wife was killed by a bandit. The adulterer was hanged, and their daughter was kidnapped by them. My son was so angry that he went to surrender to General Cao. I guarded my little grandson at home, hoping that one day they would come back and be reunited. Who would have thought that the little grandson would be taken away in the blink of an eye? , I was afraid that he would be eaten by others, so I took some grain to exchange for it, but my arms and legs were already gone... What's the use of keeping this kind of grain? My poor grandson!" Thinking of the little boy who was eaten by the thieves. Grandson, she could no longer bear the sadness and burst into tears.
Hong Chengchou felt a chill in his heart when he heard it. Changing children and eating them, dissecting their bodies and cooking for cooking were all tragedies he had read about in books. He didn't expect to hear about them with his own ears today.
As the woman cried, Hong Chengchou picked up his pocket, reached out and grabbed a small handful, handed it to Wang Fucheng beside him, and ordered him: "Give me a good life and put it away, and remember not to teach the people to look at it."
Then he slapped the bag on the ground, gritted his teeth and said to Du Wenhuan: "General Du, I will give you this bag of yellow rice to make army rations. I hope you will work hard to kill the thieves, wipe out these northwest thieves, and return the people to the people." , and give us a peaceful and prosperous age in Ming Dynasty!"
In the city of Shenyang, Emperor Taiji of Houjin Khan finally ascended to the palace after three consecutive days of absence. Among them, he sat down on the throne, Dabeile Daishan and Beilemanggultai sat on the left and right.[
It didn't matter that Dai Shan was sitting there, but Mang Gurtai was still sitting there after he was removed from the post of discussing the affairs of Baylor, which was really eye-catching.
Last year, during the Great Jin Zhengming, Mang Gurtai first refused to accept the deployment and showed his strength in front of the emperor, and then abandoned the Khan on the battlefield, causing the Eight Banners to be almost defeated. Later, he led his two Niu Lu from the Zhenglan Banner. He fled back to Shenyang in panic with three hundred of his own soldiers.
At that time, there was a wild rumor in Shenyang City that Mang Gurtai wanted to mutiny and kill Hauge, and then ascend the throne as the great Baylor to resist Shenyang City's resistance to Tiancong Khan. But what happened later made this rumor self-defeating, and Mang Gurtai He did not raise an army to cause trouble, but stayed in the mansion honestly and did not go anywhere. After Huang Taiji returned with his army to conquer the Ming Dynasty, he, Mang Gurtai, also went to the city gate to greet him.
Everyone up and down the Eight Banners thought that Huang Taiji would definitely kill Mang Gurtai, but just as Mang Gurtai did not cause trouble, Huang Taiji did not kill Mang Gurtai, and did not even scold him. All this made people realize People on the inside find it puzzling.
Everything is weird.
Huang Taiji convened Minister Baylor today to discuss the matter of conquering Lin Dan Khan and regaining the jade seal that was passed down to the country last year at Jinzhou City.
His chubby body sat on the throne, which was a little crowded, but it did not prevent him from confidently looking at the servants and ministers kneeling in the hall.
After all the ministers of Beile knelt down and worshiped, the second Beile Zhuoerketu of the Karaqin tribe had already received the instructions, so he reported first: "After the Great Khan, Lin Dan Khan was severely wounded, he was gathering the remaining troops, secretly accumulating strength, and trying to make a comeback. I thought that , after all, he is the successor of Genghis Khan, many Mongolians regard him as orthodox, and he also holds the jade seal that symbolizes imperial power. He colludes with the Ming court and is the biggest bane of our country. Please hurry up and Send troops and use all your strength to exterminate him, and we cannot let him resurface."
After hearing this, Huang Taiji readily agreed: "What Er Beile said is exactly what I want. Last year during the Ming Dynasty, I made an arrangement with Zhu Beile to attack Lin Dan Khan's son in the spring. Due to the domestic food shortage, the expedition has been postponed until now. Now that we have received the food supplied by North Korea, the country can be stabilized, and it is time for my Eight Banners Army to dispatch. As long as Lin Dan Khan is not eliminated, the grassland will not have peace. This time I will use all the troops from the country to conquer, plow the court and sweep the holes!"
Speaking of this, Huang Taiji paused, glanced at all the Mongolian Baylor ministers, raised his hand and said loudly: "But Lin Dan is very cunning. He will run away as soon as he hears the slightest sign of trouble. Therefore, this dispatch must be kept secret. Why? When the time comes to send troops, I will have my own ideas. You should not go back, but come with me when the time comes."
The Mongolian ministries were most worried about the re-emergence of Lin Dan Khan. They regarded him as a bad wolf on the grassland. Once he became strong, he would invade everywhere. Now that they saw Huang Taiji determined to conquer, they were relieved. They were worried. He kowtowed and said, "Thank you for your blessing, the Great Khan. We will definitely take the lead and be the vanguard for the King of Khans."
The Mongolian Belles had just finished paying their respects. In the Hanchen train in the corner of His Highness, Ning Wanwo suddenly walked out, raised his head and shouted to Huang Taiji in the hall: "King Khan, I have something to say."
Huang Taiji didn't know what Ning Wan was going to say. He smiled slightly and said, "Ning Wan, what am I going to say today?"
After Ning Wan, I walked forward, knelt down on my knees, and saluted Huang Taiji and Da Beile Daishan very solemnly. I kowtowed with my head, but I did not salute Mang Gurtai. I was so angry. Gurtai secretly gritted his teeth: Han slave of this force, one day Japan Beile will skin you alive!
After kowtowing, Ning Wanwo raised his head and suddenly apologized: "What I said today is related to my Dajin Foundation. Therefore, I must first ask King Khan and Dabeile to forgive me, and then I dare to speak!"
Daishan didn't know what he was going to say, but Ning Wanwo always spoke amazingly, and everything he played was in line with Daijin's interests, and he was deeply trusted by Huang Taiji, so he first expressed his position: "You just have to say it, what is wrong with you?"
Baile won't offend you. You know that a person can't do as much as a minister, so how can I, Dajin, be punished for my words?"
"Thank you Dabel for your forgiveness!"
After Ning Wan, I made another noise to Daishan, kowtowed and stood up. Everyone found that his forehead was already red and swollen. They heard him play loudly: "Now that the six ministries of the Jin Kingdom have been established, the country is becoming more and more perfect, but King Khan
Reward and punishment are not yet clear, so this slave wants to speak out."
King Khan's rewards and punishments are unclear? What should I, a slave like Ning Wan, do?
All the Baile looked at each other, and those behind them started talking quietly. Brothers Dorgon and Azig stood there motionless, but Jierharang seemed to know something, and his face was a little ugly.
"If you're done with me, I don't know how to reward and punish you?" Huang Taiji shouted sternly, pretending to be angry: "You tell me, I will reward you if you are right. If you are talking nonsense, be careful that I will peel off your skin!"
After Ning Wan, I didn't show any fear on my face, but instead I stiffened my neck and said, "King Khan, I think that since Mang Gurtai is no longer the ruling Baylor, he should no longer sit shoulder to shoulder with King Khan and Dabaile!" [
