The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 14
The relationship network of the four major families has shrunk or spread, and now Tang Qing'an has also become a part of it, and Wu Jinxiao finally returned to Liaodong.

Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion originally had [-] to [-] Zhuangzi in Liaodong, covering nearly [-] hectares of land.

A lot of Zhuangzi were sold in Shenyang and Liaozhou last year, and now Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion each have about ten Zhuangzi left.

Among them, Ningguo Mansion has five Zhuangzi in Daheishan, Rongguo Mansion has four Zhuangzi in Xiaoheishan next to Daheishan, and the remaining [-] Zhuangzi are in various places in Ningyuan.

Wu Jinxiao took Tang Qing'an and Liu Chengmin on the way back to introduce the customs and conditions of the guards in various places.

The Wu family has been based in Eastern Liaodong for nearly a hundred years. Wu Jinxiao grew up in this land, dealing with all kinds of people, which can be regarded as a living map.

Afraid that the two of them are young and don't understand the power of the barbarians, and don't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, they warned in detail what happened in Liaodong in recent years.

Four years ago, the barbarian Khan Laonu unified most of the barbarians, led [-] cavalry, and raided Fushun, Dongzhou, Magendan, and the guards of Liaozuo were defeated.

There are still 8 officers and soldiers in Liaodong, but there are only more than [-] strong and capable fighters, and they are scattered in various places for defense.

Coupled with the corruption of the imperial court, the officials and generals wantonly exploited the soldiers, the army rations in each warehouse were mixed with sand and chaff, the soldiers screamed from hunger, and there were deserters every day.

The princes of the imperial court know that the Liaodong army alone can no longer fight against the barbarians, so please ask the Supreme Emperor, Your Majesty, to send troops from Fujian, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu and other places to Liao, and at the same time increase Liao's salary for military use .

After preparing for nearly ten months, elite soldiers from all walks of life, together with more than 1 Korean soldiers, totaled more than [-] people and divided them into four groups to attack the barbarians.

"Since there are more than [-] elite soldiers, why did they lose?" Liu Chengmin asked curiously.

Wu Jinxiao sighed.

"Eastern Liaodong is a frontier area where military households are treated with contempt and humiliation. What's the difference in other places? Most of them have low morale, only a few with high morale, but the number of people is small.

In addition, they fought on their own, and were surrounded and annihilated by the barbarians one after another. It was really horrible. "

Liu Chengmin still felt that this matter was too unbelievable, even if there were more than [-] pigs, it would not be easy to be wiped out, not to mention how could more than [-] elite soldiers from various places be easily divided and surrounded?Are generals pigs?

Both of them are his juniors, Wu Jinxiao looked dignified, and warned them not to reveal their next words to the outside world.

Seeing Wu Jinxiao being so cautious, Tang Qing'an and Liu Chengmin became serious.

"The original governor of Liaodong was an old man in the court of the Supreme Emperor. Later, for this great war, the emperor proposed to use a new man, but was rejected by the Supreme Emperor. Today's Liaodong Governor is still an old man in the court."

Liu Chengmin never expected that there was such an inside story about this matter, and it involved the royal family. He was originally an ordinary citizen, but he heard a rush of blood rushing to his chest, as if he was excited to participate in a major event.

"Could it be?" Tang Qing'an looked at his uncle hesitantly.

Wu Jinxiao nodded.

"At that time, the food was not available, the logistics was chaotic, and there were rumors that the Jinglue and the governor were at odds. There were many memorials to participate in the Jinglue, and the morale of the army was extremely turbulent."

Wu Jinxiao broke another shocking news.

"Later, the Sichuan Army and the Zhejiang Army were besieged, and the Liaodong General Soldier did not save them. They watched as the two were besieged and killed by the barbarians. No one can tell the news on the battlefield. You say mine is wrong, and I say yours is wrong. In the end, the whole army was wiped out, and it ended up clean."

"It's a pity that more than [-] soldiers lost their lives." Liu Chengmin regretted, a nameless fire rose in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

Prodigal and extravagant, internal strife destroys the country.

Thinking of the metaphor in the red building, Tang Qing'an became more and more disgusted with the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The two of them even put the lives of more than [-] soldiers in vain out of selfish desires, what kind of emperors are they.

As analyzed by some bigwigs in the previous life, the two are excellent in strategy, but it's a pity that they are experts in internal fighting and outsiders in external fighting.

"Then who is the new Liaodong economic strategist?"

This disastrous defeat, even the Supreme Emperor's people can hardly shirk the blame, they must be dealt with, and it is impossible to continue to serve as the Liaodong Economic Strategy.

"There is no substitution, and the crime is meritorious."

Wu Jinxiao laughed.

Tang Qing'an and Liu Chengmin looked at each other.

After leaving Shanhaiguan Pass, passing through Ningyuanwei, and then to Guangningwei, the Donghai Fort where Tang Qingan and Liu Chengmin were located belonged to Guangningwei.

However, they haven't gone to Liaodong Capital to file for the record yet, so Wu Jinxiao asked the people in the village to go back first, and the three of them continued eastward in a mule cart.

After passing Haizhouwei, the local situation took a turn for the worse, and the road was sparsely populated.

Arrived at Anshan Station at night, there was no one in the huge post station except the postman, the three of them washed and rested overnight, and the next day they set out on the road at dawn, and the road for dozens of miles was full of deserted villages.

Ahead is Liaoyang, the capital of Liaodong. It is too unusual, and Liu Chengmin's confidence is getting lower and lower.

When they finally arrived in Liaoyang City, Men Ding strictly checked their reconnaissance and cooperation, and let them in after confirming that they were correct.After entering the city, most of the people coming and going were soldiers, and there were also many people in strange clothes, who could not be seen as Han Chinese.

"These are all Tatars. Last year when the barbarians invaded Tatars, many Tatars fled southward. Mr. Jinglue recruited the elite, and the rest of the old and weak were resettled in Liaoyang and Shenyang."

Wu Jinxiao knew that the two grew up in the south, and it was the first time in their lives that they came to the north, and they had never seen many things.

The north wind howled, and Liu Chengmin on the mule cart was blue with cold, leaning against Tang Qing'an shivering, just thinking about going to the place where he stayed.

Tang Qing'an was the same, he missed the down jacket from his previous life very much, even wearing a thick cotton coat couldn't block the cold wind.

Wu Jinxiao was familiar with the road, went to Liaodong Dusi Yamen, asked his old acquaintance for help, and finally told him that he was away on business.

Tang Qing'an and the two were let in by the door, and Liu Wu Jinxiao waited outside the yamen, and went in to hand in the documents step by step.

When I found the officials in Bingkefang, I saw that it was just a small hundred households, so I lost my patience, and perfunctorily said that I would go to the Huke to change my registration first.

Tang Qing'an and Liu Chengmin came to the household department according to the instructions and asked politely. Someone came forward to read their survey and cooperation and said that the secretary was not there and asked them to wait outside.

From morning to afternoon, someone came out and told them to go to the official department to verify their registration.

The two were hungry, hungry and thirsty to go to the official department.

When I arrived at the official department, I finally found someone, but I was told that people from the household department must first send their birthplace directory before they can be entered in the military officer catalog.

Helpless, the two went back to Huke, and the people in Huke saw them coming back and sent them out to wait.

The two stood outside Hukefang, watching people come and go.

"When we were in Shenjing, we didn't do anything in Jia's mansion, and the prince took care of our affairs."

Liu Chengmin sighed.

"It's just that there are people in the yamen who are easy to handle. We don't know anyone in Liaodong Dusi, so let's bear with it."

Wait and wait.

Liu Chengmin couldn't stand anymore, looked around to see if there was any place to sit, and could only stamp his feet to relieve the pain.

"You two are here."

Wu Jinxiao actually came in, and there was a stranger beside him.

"This is your Uncle Ce."

Wu Jinxiao laughed.
