The Red House starts from Liaodong

Liu Chengmin helped the eldest brother to educate his younger brother, and when he came back, he returned to his job and saw that the eldest brother was handling official business behind the desk.

After Tang Qing'an taught his younger brother a lesson, he was still thinking about the situation while processing the official documents and the information on the capital sent by Chen Deyan.

"Chengzhi is still the same as when he was a child. His ideas are not firm and he is easily influenced by foreign objects."

Liu Chengmin laughed.

In Jinling.

They have often played together since they were young, and they are familiar with each other's personality. Although they have rarely seen Tang Chengzhi in these years, they can still see the appearance of each other when they were young.

Tang Qing'an nodded.

There are many things that I need to do, and I must plan ahead.

For example, the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Even if Jinjiang Town has not solved the barbarians, it still needs to intervene in the situation in the Ryukyu Kingdom to prevent it from being completely controlled by the Satsuma Clan.

The Ryukyu Kingdom that was controlled by Satsuma, and the Ryukyu Kingdom that was not completely controlled.

In the future, Jinjiang Town will use the Ryukyu Kingdom as a springboard to intervene in Yamato's domestic situation. The difficulty of the two is different.

A little effort now saves ten minutes in the future.

Furthermore, Jinjiang Town was unable to immigrate on a large scale in the north. Although refugees from Shandong fled to Jinjiang Town, it was an independent behavior of the people.

Under the eyes of the capital, if Jinjiang town dared to immigrate on a large scale, it would definitely arouse the wrath of the court.

Intentional but powerless.

But the South is different.

The farther the place is from the capital, the more maneuverable methods are available. In addition, it is not seen with one's own eyes, and there is a layer of official documents.

With official documents against official documents, the two sides will not have no room for relaxation.

But Fujian and other places are far away from the capital city. After some Tai Chi methods, it is easy to make big things into small things, and small things into nothing.

At least compared to large-scale immigration from the north, the capital will definitely react more violently.

After much consideration, I chose a place where teaching is easier.

Fujian, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong and Guangxi, the mountainous areas are sparsely populated and the people are in poverty. If they know that Liaodong is alive, they will definitely join in the immigration.

Tang Qing'an thought about it.

Even if they are lucky enough to occupy the Central Plains in the future, Fujian and other places will also emigrate on a large scale.

People who don't have enough land will eventually emigrate to the country or overseas.

A little more.

People in many parts of the country are unable to raise too many offspring because of their hard life, and the babies they give birth will drown.

This was unacceptable to Tang Qing'an.

However, there has been no earth-shaking change in productivity, and people's livelihood in Fujian, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places cannot be completely cured.

Then immigration is the best way.

It can not only expand the land for the survival of the nation, but also save the babies who should have drowned,
Talk about trust.

In Jinjiang Town, Liu Chengmin was undoubtedly one of Tang Qing'an's most trusted people.

Even though Liaodong was dangerous back then, the brothers were used to playing around, and in the end they followed him to Liaodong without hesitation.

Tang Qingan revealed many things to Liu Chengmin.

Liu Chengmin knew that his eldest brother had a shocking long-term plan in mind, and he was even more impressed.

"Fortunately, the third brother persuaded Chengzhi not to let him tell the news of regretting the marriage. Otherwise, if General Yuehai finds out, something might happen."

Liu Chengmin sighed.

It was no secret to him that Jinjiang Town wanted to immigrate on a large scale from the south.

However, the distance between the two places is too far, Jinjiang Town's current strength, and the matter of emigration is beyond its reach.

There must be local dignitaries who fully support Jinjiang Town.

Jia Yucun can tear a hole for the immigrants in Jinjiang Town in the face of local officials, and protect the people who have achieved this result.

General Guangdong Yuehai is the most suitable candidate.

In the next few years, or even a longer period of time, the generals of Yuehai will be an important force to escort Jinjiang Town's immigrants in the south.

Large-scale immigration will inevitably face strong counterattacks from local gentry forces. .

That's why Tang Chengzhi had a marriage contract with the daughter of General Yuehai's family, which gained the full support of General Guangdonghai.

"What happened to the third brother?"

Tang Qing'an said with concern.

Their brothers are all married, and Liu Chengmin is about to get married, but the third brother, Chen Deyan, seems to be somewhat resistant.

Liu Chengmin shook his head.

He also couldn't understand why the third brother was like this.

"You go to letter to persuade him, he is not too young, he should consider marriage matters, if he has a woman he likes, I will not interfere in his marriage."

"Rare and rare."

Liu Chengmin smiled enviously when he heard what his elder brother said.

"Don't laugh at others, you should also take care of the marriage in Jinxiang Hou's mansion."

Tang Qing'an ordered.

Liu Chengmin put away his smile and showed a helpless look.

Although the two brothers are not biological brothers, they are also sworn brothers since childhood. Even if they are not related by blood, their relationship is no worse than that of biological brothers.

Not only Liu Chengmin, but also Chen Deyan.

After getting the letter from my eldest brother, I got up and set off without hesitation. I have worked hard and worked hard for many years.

In the capital.

Gui Yong took the greeting card from the third master and sent it to Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Zheng, the second chamberlain of the Rongguo Mansion, served as a student in the local government, but now he was transferred back to the capital and promoted to be a doctor of the Ministry of Industry.

At Jia Zheng's age, if there are no accidents, the end of his official career will come to an end when the Chief Secretary participates in politics either left or right.

But behind him there is a government office.

The difference makes all the difference.

Jia Zheng knew that Gui Yong was not white, he was the general of the Jinjiang army, and he was Chen Deyan's confidant, so he was unknown to outsiders.

Accepted the other party's name card, made an appointment with Jia Zhen from Ningguo Mansion, and Jia Amnesty from Dafang.

The next day, all three of them met Chen Deyan who came to visit at Rongguo Mansion.

After a few people greeted the ceremony.

The current atmosphere is different from before. In terms of relationship, they are already considered a family. Even if Jia Zheng feels uneasy, it can't change the fact.

"Jinxiang Hou's mansion has already contacted people, just wait for our side to make a move together."

Chen Deyan said with a smile.

"This time it's really offended."

Jia She said with a smile on his face, but he didn't care about it.

Based on the network of the Jia Mansion and the Marquis Mansion of Jinxiang, it can be said that all the nobles in the capital have basically made their moves.

"I'm afraid King Zhongshun will take revenge."

Jia Zheng said worriedly.

"Revenge, how to retaliate?"

Jia Amnesty said indifferently.

He really wasn't afraid of King Zhongshun's revenge. With so many nobles taking action, King Zhongshun could do nothing.

The emperor obeyed the opinions of the civil servants and suppressed the nobles in the capital, and King Zhongshun was the emperor's accomplice.

The nobles have a chance to deal with King Zhongshun, not to mention that Jia's Mansion and Jinxiang Hou's Mansion jointly come forward, and everyone is willing to contribute.

Moreover, King Zhongshun is far away in western Liaoning.

Jia Amnesty is Jia Zheng's elder brother, and Jia Zhen who is beside him is a junior, but she is also the head of the clan. Both of them agreed, and Jia Zheng no longer objected.

"King Zhongshun is the emperor's uncle after all. Since we want to deal with him, we must think of a safe idea."

Chen Deyan made a plan.

As long as the Jia family is willing to take the lead, then Chen Deyan's idea can be implemented.

"How to say?"

Jia Zhen's seniority is low, but she is also the head of the clan. She has always been respectful in doing things in the mansion, and she doesn't talk to others, including in front of Jia's mother, she is also extremely filial.

Count it up.

Ping Liaohou was also recommended by him, and the two governments have a deep relationship with Ping Liaohou.

"Isn't King Zhongshun impeaching our Jinjiang Zhenwei, so we can use his reasons to deal with him."

Chen Deyan said confidently.

"Out of Jinjiang Town, there can't be a second Liaoxi Army."

"This?"

The crowd was shocked.

"King Zhongshun is not an ordinary person, I'm afraid the emperor won't believe him to cause trouble."

Jia Zheng doubted Chen Deyan's strategy.

Chen Deyan shook his head with a smile and explained to Jia Zheng.

"In the world, only the emperor's trust is the most difficult. King Zhongshun is far away in the west of Liaoxi, but he doesn't have the trust of civil servants, and hates nobles.

Who in the capital will speak for him?
As long as rumors arise, the emperor will be shaken. "

Chen Deyan was full of confidence.

The trust between ordinary people is easily changed by a single sentence, let alone the ninety-five supreme.

The Jinxiang Hou's Mansion also had the emperor's trust, so it was allowed to rebuild Beizhen. Because of King Zhongshun's obstruction, it has not been able to take place.

King Zhongshun is in the west of Liaoning. Although he is loyal, it is difficult to know people and faces, but who can know that he is really loyal.

Is it because he is unwilling to decentralize power and wants to monopolize western Liaoning?

Plant a seed, and imperial power can make it grow.

When the whole capital said so, even if the emperor trusted King Zhongshun in his heart, he would worry about what the ministers said.

But no one in the capital would speak up for King Zhongshun.

Even General Yuehai, who was far away from Guangdong, fawned on the Jia family, so that no one in the capital would cover him up when someone impeached him.

Speaking of such a situation.

Although King Zhongshun persuaded him, he was not even as good as the General of Yuehai.

Chen Deyan had reason and evidence, and Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, and Jia Zhen were quickly persuaded by him.

soon.

"King Zhongshun is in the west of Liaoning. He wantonly rewarded the grassland tribes, expanded his troops several times, and blocked the Jinxiang Marquis from taking office. I'm afraid he has unbearable ambitions."

"Out of one Jinjiang town, there must be no second Liaoxi town."

"King Zhongshun belongs to the royal family and is a prince. Although the emperor trusts him, he needs to be more careful. This is not a bad thing, but the way to protect his ministers."

"King Zhongshun, relying on his status as an uncle of a sage, promotes his cronies, such as Tumen, who is only a guard.

Because he took refuge in King Zhongshun, he was promoted to be a general in less than two years, and his heart can be punished. "

……

The entire capital was jealous of King Zhongshun, but not a single honorable person or minister came forward to defend King Zhongshun.

In the imperial city.

The emperor is in the attic, looking at the imperial city, absent-minded and bewildered.

The eunuch Xia Shouzhong waited on him, silent.

Among the many voices, some admonishing, some reminding, some bluntly speaking, some swearing, etc., although the emperor didn't want to believe it, he didn't dare not to believe it.

There is a minister's memorial that is very good.

Be wary of King Zhongshun and divide his powers, which is the best way to protect King Zhongshun, so that the kindness of the monarch and his ministers will last forever, and leave a good story through the ages.

"Big companion, what do you think?"

Xia Shouzhong was taken aback by the emperor's sudden question, and soon smiled.

"How can the servant understand these things, I dare not say it."

King Zhongshun is usually majestic, and he has never given gifts to himself, so he can pose a threat to himself.

I don't say bad things about him, and I don't say good or bad about him, so I am worthy of him.

"Ugh."

The emperor sighed.

King Zhongshun, who was far away in the west of Liaoxi, was caught off guard by the sudden storm in the capital, and couldn't find a way to counter him for a while.

"It must have come from Jinxianghou's Mansion, and maybe Jinjiang Town contributed to the flames."

Tumen was also one of the people impeached. While looking worried, he quickly guessed who was behind the scenes.

"What a jerk."

King Zhongshun was furious.

I am dedicated to the public, trying my best to deal with Jinjiang Town, but the nobles in the country only think about their own affairs, regardless of national affairs.

"I'm afraid I can't continue to prevaricate."

Cheng Zhixin's expression was serious, and he persuaded slowly.

One cannot stir the waves, nor can two, nor three.

But when most of the capital is so suspicious, the waves are getting bigger, and the Liaoxi generals are fighting each other.

How could Cheng Zhixin not know the power of rumors?

When one thing, everyone said so, forming a trend.

sometimes.

The loudness makes sense.

It is difficult to know the heart when you know the face.

People's trust is the easiest to be influenced and thus changed.

Western Liaoning many years ago.

This is not only the case in western Liaoning, but also in eastern Liaoning, and even in the nine borders.

Although generals are hereditary, if they want to attack officials, they must spend money in order to successfully attack their positions.

It is not a small sum of money to buy an official, and it cannot be afforded by salary.

Many generals will not be able to take up their positions for several years, ten years, or even two or three decades, but only rich generals can easily take up their posts.

Rich generals are all focused on money, and money can only be squeezed from military households.

Unable to win battles, he often goes out to the side to kill and go to the higher level.

At the beginning there was the impeachment of the imperial censor, but when a trend was formed and everyone said it was a military exploit, then it was a military exploit.

Now the capital is saying that King Zhongshun has ambitions. If King Zhongshun doesn't back down, he might really be defeated.

King Zhongshun was unwilling to lose his composure in front of his cronies, and when he returned home, he lashed out at the inner court and scolded the civil and military officials in the capital.

The emperor suddenly took power, and he also rose with the tide, but because he gained power too quickly, his foundation was unstable.

Li Dazu's eldest son, Li Changsong, inherited the title, and finally left Shanhaiguan Pass, passed through the west of Liaoning, and took the post of Beizhen directly without seeing Queen Zhongshun.

Since he came to Liaoxi, he wanted to fight with King Zhongshun.

Because the military resources, soldiers, and common people in western Liaoning are all in the hands of King Zhongshun.

Li Changsong arrived in western Liaoning, while Liu Chengmin was going to the capital.

The second master of Jinxiang Hou's Mansion in the capital was waiting for him to marry the young lady of Jinxiang Hou's family, so he came to say goodbye to his eldest brother.

Tang Qing'an didn't dare to go to the capital, but Liu Chengmin was fine.

"Those who held authority in ancient times did not dare to leave the capital. After being away from the political center for a long time, King Zhongshun shouldn't have left the capital."

Tang Qing'an laughed.

"King Zhongshun didn't come to Liaoxi, and someone else changed. Who has the confidence of King Zhongshun to persecute us in Jinjiang Town like this?"

"This is the advantage of taking advantage of the general trend. Many problems are not difficult problems and can be easily solved."

Tang Qing'an brought out his original set of arguments again.

Liu Chengmin didn't want to continue discussing this matter with his elder brother. What good would it do if he won the fight.

When Liu Chengmin went to the capital.

Li Changsong wanted to carve up the Liaoxi army, but King Zhongshun refused, so the army withdrew from Beizhen and shrank the corridors in Liaoxi.

Under the coercion and indulgence of Li Changsong, the governor of Beizhen.

Without knowing it, the Jinjiang army occupied the ungarrisoned area of ​​Xining Fort and consolidated Haizhou City in the rear.

There are only so many troops in Liaoxi. If Li Changsong wants to recover the lintel and restore the strength of his family, he can only carve up the Liaoxi army.

Not only to carve up the Liaoxi Army, but also to compete with King Zhongshun for the court's supplies.The more you get now, the easier it will be to restore your family's strength in the future.

Take advantage of this opportunity.

Tang Qing'an immediately wrote a letter and sent it to the king of the Li Dynasty.

The Jinjiang army and the Li family's army trained their troops. After the training, they pointed their swords at Shenyang.

Tao Jie took the general's letter and went to the royal palace of the Li family to meet the king of the Li family, Li Ji.

"I need to discuss this matter with the ministers."

Li Zhen took it from eunuch Lin Zhong, and after reading it, he replied to Tao Jie in a soft voice.

Military affairs, of course, will not be so easy.

Tao Jie knew that Li's court would discuss this matter, and like the previous one, after resigning, he took the initiative to contact the Li's court officials to facilitate this matter.

The honored officials of the Li Dynasty had different attitudes towards this matter.

The domestic situation in the Li Dynasty was not stable.

It is still the same problem as before, which has not been resolved so far.

For example, there are two huge groups of hereditary ministers, many descendants, land annexation, and insufficient interests, forming many parties.

The same undercurrent of party disputes as in the previous dynasty.

The Northern faction of the Eastern Party, the Southern faction of the Eastern Party, and the Western faction...

The people are in distress, and there are rioters everywhere.

The royal clan of the Li Dynasty, more and more honored officials began to get close, gradually affecting the throne.

Li Jing was originally a puppet who was pushed to the forefront of the coup d'état by the ministers, relying on the power of Jinjiang Town, he has been able to sit firmly until now.

He was powerless and did not launch reforms, thus changing the situation of the Li Dynasty, and of course he also encountered the predicament of the former king.

"The throne of the king of the Li Dynasty is not stable."

Hearing this, Tao Jie became pensive.

Even Liu Xingzuo has heard about it, so it can be seen that the Li Dynasty is about to come.

Liu Xingzuo was responsible for leading the soldiers of the Jinjiang Army, stationed in Seoul, guarding the palace, and protecting the king of the Li Dynasty, which was his duty.

However, the Li family had to ask Tao Jie how to deal with the undercurrent in the country.

"The biggest threat is Huai Enjun Li Deren."

Tao Jie said.

Liu Xingzuo had heard of this name before, but he was not as responsible for intelligence as Tao Jie, so he had doubts.

"Since this is the case, do you want to solve the scourge in advance?"

Tao Jie shook his head immediately.

"Because the situation in the Li Dynasty is unstable, the leader of the Li Dynasty will respond to my Jinjiang Town's request. If I cut off the trouble for him, it may be my Jinjiang Town's trouble."

Liu Xingzuo understood what was said so convolutedly.

"Before the coup of the former Li Dynasty, the Xunchen who launched the coup, and the proposed new Li Dynasty ruler, is not only Li Yu, but also Li Deren, Lord Huai En."

Tao Jie explained to Liu Xingzuo.

"Among the honored ministers who supported Li Deren, the most senior is General Hu Wei Shen Qiyuan, but because there are more honored ministers who support Li Deren, it is Li Zhen who became the lord of the Li Dynasty."

Liu Xingzuo knew Shen Qiyuan well.

Punishment Cao Zuorang, Sixian Mansion equal, the same Deputy Chengzhi, Xingcao sentencing, concurrently served as Hu Wei general.Born as a Xunchen, he held the military power in his hands, and he was in charge of the Li family's few professional troops.

If it wasn't for the appearance of Jin Jiangzhen, this person would still be responsible for guarding the palace.

Because of his great power, he was suppressed by the honorable ministers who participated in the rebellion, and he was also the person who was most dissatisfied with the current ruler of the Li family.

"As long as Shen Qiyuan is solved, Huai Enjun and Li Deren will not dare to be brave."

"That?"

Liu Xingzuo made a move.

Tao Jie shook his head again.

Seeing this, Liu Xingzuo kept silent, just waiting for the other party's decision.

Liu Xingzuo is good at overpowering others and capturing favorable opportunities from them, while Tao Jie, on the contrary, is a character who likes to start from the details.

"Sunken objects are far and easy to remove, but hard to grasp."

Tao Jie said.

Although the Li Dynasty is an ally, it needs to treat each other sincerely, and more importantly, it needs to be on guard. This is a good strategy and a means to maintain the long-term friendship between the two countries.

these years.

The Li Dynasty consumed little national power, squeezed out strength to assist Jinjiang Town, and helped Jinjiang Town to tide over the difficulties.

It was because of the existence of these handles that the king of the Li Dynasty, Li Zhen, had to do his best to win over Jinjiang Town and protect himself.

If these hidden dangers were eliminated for him, would he continue to help Jinjiang Town by squeezing the power of the country like this?

There will still be help, but in terms of strength, [-]% of the [-]% will be removed, and I am afraid that they will negotiate terms with Jin Jiangzhen.

For example, the general warned himself that there are still many things that require the Li family's efforts in the future, so we must not relax.

"Shen Qiyuan, I'll go and meet him personally. You should also be prepared. If this person is stubborn, it's not too late to do it."

Liu Xingzuo heard the words and knew that it might not be his turn to do it himself.

With the strength of the Jinjiang Army and the influence it has on the Li Dynasty, not to mention Shen Qiyuan, even Jin Yan, Li Gui and other figures could not resist.

Since Tao Jie went to warn the other party, even if the other party was dissatisfied, he would not risk his family being destroyed and act rashly.

The Jinjiang army now has [-] troops stationed in the Li dynasty, assisting the palace guards and defending Seoul together.

In addition to the domestic guards, most of the rebels who rose up in various places during the war against Japan decades ago were scattered in Jeolla Province.

After years of suppression, the rebel armies from all over the country have long since disappeared. Only three rebel armies, by entering Liaodong to assist the Jinjiang army in combat, have expanded their power.

In addition to the [-] Jinjiang Army directly controlled by Jinjiang Town, plus the three rebel armies indirectly controlled by Jinjiang Town, more than [-] troops can be mobilized in the Li Dynasty.

Not counting the [-] troops of the Li family who were originally stationed in Zhenjiang and are now transferred to Liaoyang.

The [-] troops were all provided by the Li Dynasty, and the [-] guards who had to be allocated to fight for Jinjiang Town.

In addition, it has supplied the Jinjiang Army with food and grass supplies for several years. After many years, the Li Dynasty can no longer afford to consume them.

The holy envoy who went to the previous court when he was young, and now the honored minister Jin Yan who is in power, told the king that he needed to negotiate with the Marquis of Liao on this matter.

Li Jing hesitated.

Between the throne and the people's livelihood, he wants both.

"People living in the country are living in poverty. Ping'an Road, Ning'an Road, North Road, and West Road, there are countless people who marry their daughters into Zhenjiang every year.

Not only these Taoist prefectures bordering Liaodong, but also Jeolla Province in the south.

Because of the indulgence of Lu Shunyi and other generals, the soldiers in his army would also encourage the sisters in the family to marry into Liaodong by boat.

I asked the government envoys from all over the country to make statistics, and estimated that over the past few years, more than [-] women have married to Liaodong.

In particular, people from all over the country who crossed the Yalu River exchanged their daughters for some rations, but these grains were provided to each other by our country.

In recent years, the birth population of common people in China has been decreasing year by year. "

Jin Yan had no choice but to remind the ruler that if this continues, the national power of the Li family will decline.

For the same honorable officials, the large reduction in the number of people in the territory has also affected their interests. I hope the Lord can stop Ping Liaohou.

If it is a time of war, it is understandable that the population of the people will decrease, just like the Japanese invasion decades ago.

But Li's dynasty is generally peaceful in the country, so the population should be increased.

Li Jing had no choice but to summon Tao Jie again, hoping that he would come forward to prevent this kind of thing from happening again.
