Prince of Chaos

Chapter 309 Guess
The letter written by Li Chengliang to his son Li Rusong can be said to be earnest in content, asking him to maintain Dong Qichang's relationship and to try his best to build a good impression in front of His Highness the Crown Prince. His painstaking efforts made him want to teach his son hand in hand.

After Li Rusong received his father's letter, he also laughed, thinking that Li Chengliang was really like this when he was in Liaodong before, and he would not be too worried about their brothers in everything.

Li Rusong is now almost 50 years old. According to Confucius, he has reached the age of knowing his destiny.

Hearing Li Rusong's smile, his younger brother Li Rubai asked beside him, "Brother, what did father say in the letter? It made you so happy."

Li Rusong said with a smile: "Father is concerned about us and worried that we will not be able to deal with the problems in Liaodong. That's why he sent a letter back, wanting to teach us how to behave in the world."

When Li Rubai heard Li Rusong's words, he also laughed and said, "Father still treats us as children."

Li Rusong said: "As long as there is father, we will always be children."

Li Rubai nodded his head in agreement, and then asked: "Did my father say that he felt like being the secretary of the Ministry of War?"

Speaking of this, Li Rubai is extremely proud. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty more than [-] years ago, how can there be a military officer serving as Minister of the Ministry of War?But when he came to Li Chengliang's place, he broke this convention. A military general from a family of military officers became one of the six ministers, and he was not a temporary post, but a real assignment.

Now not only Li Chengliang was shocked, but the entire Daming Wuxun Group was also shocked. They all looked at the high-level officials of the imperial court with wide-eyed eyes, expecting that the next lucky one would be themselves.

After all, a military officer full-time civil official is much more powerful than the smoke from the ancestral grave, it is almost on fire!

Li Rusong said: "Father didn't say what he felt, but he said one thing, let's be honest."

Li Rubai said: "What makes father so cautious?"

Li Rusong said: "Father said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave him a mission to investigate the incident of officers and soldiers in Ji Town being emptied of their salaries. Then, my father combined with the recently rumored news that Shuntian Prefecture expanded to 24 counties, and my father felt that the next court Maybe it will attack the Weisuo system. Therefore, my father told us that we should lead by example and not continue to be like before, so as not to get burned.”

When Li Rubai heard Li Rusong talk about this, he said nonchalantly, "Father is getting old, what's wrong with the Weisuo system? This is the rule established by Emperor Taizu. It has been like this for hundreds of years in the Ming Dynasty. Why?" Could it have changed all of a sudden? No way."

Li Rubai really didn't take this matter to heart, but Li Rusong didn't think so, he combined the letter from his father with the secret letter Dong Qichang gave him.

Although Dong Qichang's letter didn't mention anything about Wei's regime, and it was all about Jianzhou and the Mongolian tribes, but Li Rusong's intuition told Li Rusong that this matter was no longer that simple.

What's more, according to the imperial court's order, he should lead [-] troops to the Korean battlefield, but Dong Qichang's letter told him to watch Jianzhou in Liaodong, and at the same time beware of the provocations of this Mongolian tribe.

Moreover, Xing Jie, the new governor of Jiliao, has now arrived in North Korea. Apart from taking Yizhou in the first battle, he has no other actions except to follow the imperial court's order and allow Korean refugees to enter Daming territory for refuge.

Moreover, from the beginning of the second war of entry into the DPRK until now, Xing Jie has not issued him a general order to urge troops. From this, it can be seen that the imperial court is indeed playing a big game of chess. As for the purpose of this game of chess, Li Rusong Haven't seen it yet.

However, after receiving Li Chengliang's letter today, combined with Li Chengliang's guess, Li Rusong felt that Li Chengliang's guess might be right, and the imperial court might really want to move the guard system.

As for how far and to what extent, Li Rusong didn't know.

Li Rusong said: "Second brother, I think it's better to listen to my father in this matter. For the time being, our Liaodong side should restrain themselves a bit, and stop being like before."

Li Rubai said: "Brother, how could it not be as it used to be? How much food and salaries the imperial court gave us, can you have no idea? The food and salaries are not enough for our Liaodong iron cavalry. If there is no military household in the guard station to work hard for us Fuck, none of our Liaodong iron cavalry can become the number one army in Liaodong."

Li Rusong listened to Li Rubai's words, and he also acquiesced that the Liaodong iron cavalry is really burning too much money. If it is really done according to the imperial court's standards, in the end, the Liaodong iron cavalry running rampant in Liaodong must be like a tiger that has lost its teeth. , can no longer be majestic.

Li Rusong sighed and said, "I will think of a way to do this. You restrain the people under your command. Father is now the Secretary of the Ministry of War, which is different from before. If we can't set an example to show respect to father, then father will definitely have a hard time in Beijing. So, even if it's for father, this time we have to listen carefully to what father wants."

Li Rubo drooped his head, and replied in a low voice: "I see."

Originally, he thought that after Li Chengliang became Minister of the Ministry of War, the Li family in Liaodong could go completely sideways, but he didn't expect that the scruples had changed now.

If there is nothing left to eat, how can you manage and restrain the soldiers below?After all, it costs a lot of money to keep them.

Li Rusong looked at Li Rubai like this, and he also understood what Li Rubai was thinking.

However, at this juncture, it is true that no mistakes can be made. If the officials are caught again, not only will it be difficult for Li Chengliang's Minister of the Ministry of War to sit firmly, but even the painstaking efforts of the Li family in Liaodong for so many years will be destroyed.

Therefore, Li Rusong still forced Li Rubai, "You must hear about this matter. And your Jurchen concubine, it will be good for you to pamper her more when she is free."

Li Rubai curled his lips, what kind of Jurchen concubine, his father and his eldest brother forced it on him, otherwise, with his background and conditions, there is no such kind of girl in Liaodong, why would he want a Jurchen concubine who is five-year-old and three-thirteen?

Li Rubai's concubine is Shuerhaqi's daughter. Now Li Chengliang and Li Rusong are tied to Zhu Changluo's big boat. Zhu Changluo also clearly told Li Rusong that he would support Shuerhaqi and suppress Nurhachi. The most cost-effective and labor-saving way is to get married.

As long as the Li family and Shuerhaqi get married, the leaders of the Jurchen tribes are not blind, and they understand what is going on, they will gradually move closer to Shuerhaqi's side, and slowly suppress them The effect of Nurhachi.

Li Chengliang and Li Rusong would definitely not be able to get married in this way, so Li Rubai, the second son who was at home to eat and drink, could only be used.

Speaking of Li Rubai, I have to mention the Battle of Salhu, which had a profound impact on future generations!

Li Rubai was a participant in this battle, but the role he played in this battle can be described as horrible!

Originally, the task given to him was to lead the army to guard against Yilu and get out of Yaque Pass.As a result, they encountered a tiger blocking the way, and were defeated before encountering the enemy, with more than a thousand dead.This time he directly lost the old face of the Li family. He fled back after losing the battle, and was impeached to the capital. Suicide in the house, ending his worthless life.
