I am one year older than Chongzhen

Chapter 324 New Chapter 304: The life-saving cannon

(Book friends are recommended to read the newly released work "The Soul of the Late Ming and Han Dynasties" and the old works "The Sun Never Sets on the Ming Empire" and "1981")

Wang Kun felt that it was impossible for Huang Yi to hide these Hongyi cannons.

It should be a transaction with the civilian military generals commanding other battalions.

You can imagine how eager Governor Liu Yulie, whose life was hanging by a thread, was to get those Hongyi cannons!

Wang Kun knew Emperor Chongzhen best.

This young man inherited the fine traditions of Emperor Hongwu and killed ministers like chickens!

How many high-ranking officials were killed in the case of Wei Zhongxian?

Since the Jisi Incident, how many high-ranking officials have been stabbed at Caishikou?

Liu Yulie not only lost the city and territory, but the rebels also seized the Hongyi cannon that the emperor kindly sent. He deserves to be punished for his crime!

At this time, no Tiqi came to the army to arrest Liu Yulie, probably because the war was tense and the main reason was to maintain stability!

The Xinghe Army defeated the rebels in one fell swoop, and the situation was promising. At this time, the emperor was probably preparing to settle accounts in the fall!

Denglai has been corrupted for thousands of miles, and someone must be held responsible for the dozens or millions of military and civilian casualties.

Given Emperor Chongzhen's temperament, it was not enough to simply send out civilian and military generals such as Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, Song Guanglan, the deputy envoy of the Shandong Ancha Division, Wang Yu of the Bingbei Dao, and Zhang Tao, the counselor.

Only by cutting off the heads of one or two frontier officials can the people's resentment be quelled!

Wang Kun’s guess is almost the same!

Liu Yulie, the governor of Denglai in Shandong and in charge of military affairs in Shandong, has been in office for more than 20 years. Of course he has a sense of crisis!

Before Huang Yi led the Xinghe Army to the battlefield, all Liu Yulie's actions were to save himself!

In the 35th year of Wanli's reign, he was a high school Jinshi and embarked on an official career. Of course, his IQ was high, so how could he not be unaware of the dangers of the Zhao'an rebels.

It's a pity that Liu Yulie had no choice but to take the dangerous step of Zhao'an.

The reason is very simple. The soldiers and horses he brought were defeated and he also lost the Hongyi cannon licensed by the emperor. What a big crime!

How to get away with it, the only way is to achieve brilliant results!

However, the rebels are so powerful that they are not only unable to defeat them, but even Laizhou is in danger!

Can Liu Yulie only appoint?

So he tried his best to win over the Zhao'an rebels, and he did not hesitate to make the greatest concessions for this! Even more so at the expense of his colleagues!

In history, Zhu Wannian, Xie Lian and other officials died because of Liu Yulie's efforts to promote recruitment!

well! People who don't do it for themselves will be punished by heaven and earth.

It’s really not that Liu Yulie was stupid enough to be deceived, but that Liu Yulie did whatever it took to save himself, or he didn’t choose any way out of panic!

Now it looks like there is a bright future!

Whether you can survive the desperate situation depends on the next step!

The Xinghe Army, which was originally motionless, suddenly broke out and actually caused the rebels to abandon their camp and the Hongyi artillery to flee.

The Hongyi Cannon that makes Liu Yulie dream about it!

The Hongyi cannon can kill or save lives!

Liu Yulie ignored it. He did not notify the civilian officials and military generals. He only ordered more than 120 members of the Supervisory Biao Battalion and his servants to escort him outside Laizhou City.

He wanted to go to the Xinghe Army camp in person to summon him. It was wrong. He had to lower his profile. He could not go there as an official. It was inappropriate to summon him.

Make an appointment with Huang Yi! That's not right. It is said that Huang Yi is so full of personality that even his father-in-law, who is the governor of Xuanda, is not willing to meet him.

I simply ignored my face and asked to see Huang Yi. Even if I met Huang Yi, as long as I could talk to him, it would be okay!

As a result, a unique situation occurred in the Ming Dynasty.

A civil servant, and a second-grade border official, was obediently waiting for the deputy general to receive him outside his cabin.

Huang Yi is a modern man, without servility and with a concept of equality. He was a little confused when he learned that Liu Yulie, the governor of Denglai, Shandong Province, came to ask for an audience!

The reason why he didn't want to meet the Ming Dynasty bureaucrats was because he didn't want to kneel down. He didn't mean to reject them thousands of miles away!

Liu Yulie, this Shangguan is really interesting, he actually has such disregard for propriety!

People respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot. Huang Yi did not hold it, but came to the gate of the camp in person to welcome Liu Yulie into the big tent.

"It's better to be famous than to meet him. General Huang is really good-looking and heroic!" Liu Yulie said sincerely after seeing Huang Yi, who was taller and stronger.

The Xinghe Army fought successively and successfully, and Denglai civil and military officers heard and witnessed it, and they were already convinced in their hearts.

Liu Yulie placed all his hopes of escaping guilt on Huang Yi, of course he was careful and well-behaved.

Huang Yi took a closer look at the little old man in front of him. To be honest, he was not good-looking. He was a little over 1.6 meters tall and skinny.

He didn't want to waste time on greetings, so he said straightforwardly: "Your Majesty, the Governor must have something important to do when you come here. My affairs are complicated and my time is limited. Please don't say any polite words and go straight to the topic!"

Liu Yulie was stunned. There is such a person in the world?

Come on, it’s already like this and you still care about it!

Is face more important or life more important?

He had no choice but to clear his throat with a slight cough and said, "I'm here to ask the general for help!"

"Oh? What do you want me to do, sir?"

"I have the audacity to ask the general to give up the six captured Hongyi cannons!"

"This……"

"I don't take it for free. I can give you some money. I hope the general will be accommodating."

The captured Hongyi cannon was too bulky and Huang Yi didn't want it at all. Someone was willing to spend money to buy it. It was really sleepy and gave him a pillow.

"I'm afraid it won't work if the Hongyi cannon doesn't capture anything!"

"Can the general yield some rebel heads?"

"I can give you six Hongyi cannons and the heads of 1,500 rebels. Can you send 100,000 stones of wheat to our army within a month?"

"This..., one hundred thousand stones is too much. I can send thirty thousand stones within half a month."

Unexpectedly, the other party counter-offered 70%. Huang Yi became unhappy and said:

"Your Excellency is not sincere!"

Seeing that Huang Yi had misunderstood, Liu Yulie said quickly: "I am sincere, but the imperial court has been deploying troops in Shandong for nearly a year, and it has become increasingly difficult to raise food and grass. One hundred thousand shi of food is really too much, can I exchange it for silver?"

"Is this..."

"I am willing to trade the current food price in Denglai for silver!"

"How embarrassing this is!"

"The general has to support so many servants. I know how much money and food will be consumed. Within ten days, the one hundred thousand taels of silver will definitely be delivered!"

The reason why Liu Yulie is so cheerful is not only because he urgently needs merit to save his life, but also because he has military merit and money at hand, so there is no need to worry about not having money!

The characteristics of the Ming Dynasty, the public is just sanctimonious!

There is no ambiguity at all about the amount of ice and carbon that should be taken and the money that should be disposed of.

Liu Yulie, who is in charge of military attachés, has great benefits.

Why do military attachés embezzle military pay?

Not only because of the need for good clothing and fine food, taking concubines, and raising a family, but the most important reason is to bribe the superior officials.

If Liu Yulie gets the credit from Huang Yi, he can discuss how to repay the credit with Liu Guozhu, Yang Yufan, Deng Qi, Chen Hongfan and other generals.

In the late Ming Dynasty, it didn't matter whether those who could recruit the chief military officer, deputy general, and staff general were able to fight. The most important thing was to judge the situation and make the right decision!

Yang Yufan, Deng Qi, Chen Hongfan and other defeated generals also urgently needed credit to protect their official positions.

How could these generals who drank the blood of their soldiers have no money?

If Liu Yulie manages it well, this transaction may not require any money from the Liu family, and he may even make a profit!
