Chapter 124

"Slightly open the edge, once this end is opened, there may be no peace in the future!"

"Governor Zhang, you have been transferred from Xuanda. If the Northeast becomes as bad as the Northwest, there may be unrest in the world. Doesn't it mean that Pei Chengzu died? He accidentally made Wang Gao, the rebellious chieftain, pay for it." Here comes Lihong's head!" Wang Nian still refused to let go.

Why is Wang Nian so persistent, even though the governor wants to go there in person, he still tries his best to stop him?
It's completely different from the Ming Dynasty's war in the southeast, which was another victory as soon as it opened its eyes. The war against the Tatars in the northwest was really tragic, and the loss was very tragic.

In June of the 29th year of Jiajing, Ida violated Datong, and Zhang Da, the commander-in-chief, and Lin Chun, the deputy commander-in-chief, died in battle.

In February of the 32nd year of Jiajing, Alda violated the Xuanfu, and Guo Du, the deputy general, died in battle.In September, I Da committed Guangwu, and the governor of the capital, Zhao Shichun, was defeated. Li Lai, the commander-in-chief, and Feng En, the general, died in battle.

In June of the 33rd year of Jiajing, Ida violated Datong, and Yue Mao, the commander-in-chief, died in battle.

In October of the 45th year of Jiajing, Guyuan was violated, and Guo Jiang, the commander-in-chief, was defeated and died.In the tenth month of leap, he violated Datong, and the general Cui Shirong died in battle.

This is just the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief, not counting generals, guerrillas, and defense preparations. After fighting in the Northwest for so many years, he finally agreed to Altan Khan's conditions for granting tribute, and canonized Altan Khan as King of Shunyi.

The tribute is awarded only if the battle is not won. If you can win the battle and sweep the hole to plow the court, then there will be a tribute?
In the northeast direction, three general soldiers were also killed one after another, Yin Shangzhi, Yang Zhao, and Wang Zhidao. At this time, Daming started the war lightly in the northeast.

Wang Nian's thinking is not his own thinking, even the inspector censor Yang Zhao, Zhang Duo, and the deputy commander-in-chief have the same thinking. What to fight, what if you win?The thieves were in the deep mountains and old forests. After driving them away, they regained their vitality within a year.

"It's not what it used to be." Zhang Xueyan said with a wave of his robe, "Today is very different from the past. If you dare not fight, just wait here. If anything bad happens to Zhang Duo and Yang Zhao, the imperial censors, you will be killed." You look good."

Even in Liaodong, those who opposed the frontier provocations were frequent. The censors Zhang Duo and Yang Zhao had this kind of thinking, and they would not fight if they could not.

It doesn't matter if you refuse to fight, just stay in the old nest honestly, and wait until the army triumphs. If you don't want to fight, and make trouble out of it, destroy the food road, and spread the news, then you can't blame him for being rude.

Before the battle, the governor Zhang Xueyan withdrew Wang Nian's power as a grain doctor before heading to the school grounds, and there were a total of 3000 people who went to Gule Village to suppress.

There are 7 officers and soldiers in Liaodong Town, and the main function of these [-] people is to fill in the line. Once there are police on the side, and the beacon smoke rises, the [-] elite soldiers entrenched in their hometown will go to defend. This is Zhang Xueyan's arrival in Liaodong In the end, please strengthen your shirt, solidify the army, recruit and move, manage armored battles, market war horses, believe in rewards and punishments, depose cowardly generals, and strengthen elite soldiers.

These elite soldiers are all guest soldiers. They are paid one, two, five and three cents of silver a month, and 18 taels of silver a year. A small number of guest soldiers were embezzled by Li Chengliang and others, and the frontier soldiers were still dominated by military camps.

It is unavoidable that these guest soldiers are also transformed into family members, that is, the family members of the Li family.

The year before last, Li Chengliang moved Gushan Fort to Zhang Qiha Dian, and moved the five forts of Danshan Mountain to Kuandian, Changdian, Shuangdun, Changlingsan and other places.They are all based on fertile land, where the throat is most critical. In these places, the fields are all high-quality black soil and fertile fields. The Northern Army's farming is completely self-sufficient. There is no money, but it is enough to eat enough.

Zhao Wanzhi, Li Chengliang's deputy general of Liaodong, and Wang Nian, Yang Zhao, and Zhang Duo all had the same idea, lightly starting border quarrels, many things can only be decided at the beginning, no one can decide the end.

Therefore, Li Chengliang did not take Zhao to complete the responsibility in this battle.

Li Chengliang didn't say much. Standing in the school field, he opened a mouthful box and opened, and there were silver ingot, silver shining.

Li Chengliang waited until all the boxes were opened, looked around for a week, and then said loudly: "If you win, it's all yours! If you lose, the heads will stay outside the pass!"

"Before the expedition, two taels of silver for one person, and five taels of silver for one person after fighting, and Lai Lihong was caught, 5000 taels of silver! Wang Gao was caught for 1 taels of silver!"

"The battlefield is the battlefield, grab the merits and compete for the first rank, kill without mercy!"

Li Chengliang dared to be so arrogant in Liaodong, and was even suspected of supporting soldiers and raising bandits. These guest soldiers who are like servants are his confidence.

It's what he did, and he has been impeached by the inspectors, governors, and doctors all the time. Li Chengliang was either corrupt or rewarded, and they couldn't get any of the money.

Zhang Xueyan, the governor of Liaodong, said nothing when he saw this, and let Li Chengliang do it.

Not everyone in the world is Qi Jiguang, who can lead his soldiers into such a state of prohibition. Li Chengliang leads soldiers to fight, and he always pays attention to heavy rewards and heavy punishments. The reason why Haixi Jurchen Wangtai, Wuliangha Sanbu Chahan Khan, and Jianzhou Nuzhi Wang Gao gritted their teeth in hatred, but did not dare to attack.

On the Liaodong side, it was the northern captives and Jianzhou Jiannu in Haixi who could not defeat Li Chengliang.

The situation in Liaodong is exactly the same as that in the Northwest. The powerful people here and the captive chieftains are also colluding. If the original northern army style of Ming Dynasty is used, the general soldiers can die in battle. Just know.

Li Chengliang is definitely not a good person. Someone dares to reveal his whereabouts. He only knows one thing, killing. If you follow suit, there will be big troubles.

Li Chengliang was convinced and envious of Qi Jiguang's military governance. People Qi Jiguang's military governance is kingly and bright, especially after the emperor bestowed titles and gave strong support, Qi Jiguang became more upright. More than ten thousand elite soldiers in the capital camp, What is important is that the generals and the soldiers eat from the same kitchen. Qi Jiguang has that condition.

Liaodong does not have that condition.

The group of people under him are professional killing machines, and to put it worse, they are outlaws. The imperial court has to rack their brains to arrange these outlaws.

Li Chengliang stopped talking nonsense, carried his tooth flag, picked up a bowl of wine, drank it down, put the bowl aside, and said loudly: "Kill the thief!"

"Kill the thief! Kill the thief! Kill the thief!"

Li Chengliang got on his horse and set off to Fushun Pass with 3000 people. When he left Fushun Pass, he was Jiannu.

When it was snowing lightly, Qi Jiguang, who was in a stone, also set off. He marched from Lijiabao in a stone to Jinzhou in two days and two nights. .

And Liang Menglong, the assistant director of military affairs, will rush to Jinzhou with his luggage in ten days. After Liang Menglong arrives, Qi Jiguang will lead [-] sharp soldiers and march to Shenyang again to be in charge of the defense area before Li Chengliang. This time is completely in time .

The remaining [-] troops defended against Chahan Khan of Wuliangha's three tribes who besieged Jinzhou. Chahan Khan was still unable to claim the king's title, venting and nagging all day long. Dong Huli went to Beigukou and Xifengkou to demand payment It is also to test the reality of Xiaji Town. If there are no strong soldiers in Jizhen Town, we will reproduce the old stories of Altan Khan, refrain from looting the capital, and threaten the court to become king.

After Qi Jiguang left Yiyishi Lijiabao, Liu Yingjie will lead his troops to Yiyishi as a reserve team, ready to intervene in the battlefield at any time to meet Qi Jiguang and other troops.

The little emperor was always a little surprised by this extravagant way of fighting. If Daming kept fighting like this, how could the Northwest fight like that?I replied that Khan had been beaten to the west long ago.

This method of warfare was formed after Qi Jiguang trained in Jizhen. The capital is an important town in the world, and Jizhou has no strong soldiers. This method of warfare with two strong soldiers as a reserve team is simply impossible to realize.

Qi Jiguang marched to Jinzhou in a hurry. When Liang Menglong arrived, he started to march again. After walking for a day, the military report came from the front line. Li Chengliang had won and made a triumphant return to Fushun Pass.

When Qi Jiguang arrived in Shenyang, Li Chengliang went out of the city to meet Qi Jiguang's reinforcements.

This is not the first time Nan Qi and Bei Li have met. In the fifth year of Longqing, the two had already met Chahan Khan.

"Heroic soldiers." Li Chengliang looked at the endless three thousand sharp soldiers behind Qi Jiguang, and admired him sincerely. If his three thousand guest soldiers were half the size of these three thousand sharp soldiers, let alone Wang Gao, they would be ten thousand soldiers. One or eight can be crushed by him.

Qi Jiguang got off his horse and asked, "How is the battle going?"

Li Chengliang took a deep breath and said: "Go out of Fushun Pass, go straight to Gule Village, and then divide into three groups, to Jiefan Village, Ma'erdun Village, and Lihong Village, attacking one after another, besieging Jianzhouwei, the rebellious chieftain Wang Gao Lost, with two personal guards, ran away without a trace, I chased him for three days, and captured him in the mountains and forests, the deputy commander Cao Yu captured Lai Lihong alive, killed more than 230 thieves, and captured four There are more than [-] people and nearly [-] livestock."

When Qi Jiguang heard that Wang Gao and Lai Lihong had been captured, he said with great emotion, "Then I came here for nothing?"

Wang Gao almost escaped. Li Chengliang had been waiting for the snow to capture and kill Wang Gao. If there was a urging, he would attack on a day when there was no snow. It is rare to be patient, waiting until it snows heavily, can Wang Gao escape?
Li Chengliang said with a sad face: "We are all military generals, and you also know that sometimes, winning a battle is not necessarily a good thing, and not winning is a good thing instead. Xu Xu covers it up, and the merits are not rewarded." No sin is forgiven, alas."

When Qi Jiguang thought of the appearance of the little emperor cursing others, he shook his head and said, "It won't happen now."

Harshly criticizing military commanders for their merits and crimes, this method of destroying people and doing bad things by officials with swords and pens will not happen in a short period of time, during the time when Zhang Juzheng is in the country.

Li Chengliang was also overjoyed when he heard the words, he said with a smile: "Really? Sure enough, there is a big difference between the court and China. I said that this time the war is not going anywhere. I always feel that something is missing."

"Shackles?" Qi Jiguang thought for a while and said.

Li Chengliang laughed long and loudly, and said with a big smile: "I'm missing a bit of restraint, I'm not strong, ouch."

Li Chengliang smiled, involving the wound, his complexion changed several times, a little painful.

"Injured?" Qi Jiguang said in surprise.

Li Chengliang waved his hand and said: "When Wang Gao was caught, he suffered a little injury in order to catch that dog alive. I chased him for three days and didn't eat, so I still caught him."

Li Chengliang didn't tell the truth. When he captured Wang Gao alive, Wang Gao had no strength left. Li Chengliang deliberately let the water go, so he beat him up and intentionally caused a small injury. If the civil officials impeach him again If he is provocative, he will use this injury to talk about it, which is a petition.

Generals also have their own way of survival.

Li Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong at this time, has not yet fully planned to build Liaodong into a feudal town like the Jin Party. He raised his own self-esteem and relaxed his defenses against the enemy. First, the conditions were insufficient, and second, Li Chengliang at this time had not yet seen the hearts of literati. sinister.

In the original timeline, in the second year of Wanli, the fifth year of Wanli, and the 11th year of Wanli, Li Chengliang successively killed Wang Gao, Tuman Chahan Khan Dazhang, Wang Gaozi's son Atai, and Jiannu. Li Chengliang just started here In the past 11 years, they were very serious and efficient, and most of them focused on annihilation.

Li Chengliang did not want to be the tyrant from the beginning. All of this had to wait until Zhang Juzheng's death, Zhang Juzheng was liquidated, Zhang Xueyan and Li Chengliang were beaten into the Zhang Party, and after they were impeached as Zhang Juzheng's party members, Li Chengliang became the leader of Liaodong. The commander-in-chief and his sons successively took control of the power of Liaodong and became the emperor of Tu, the co-lords of Beilu, Haixi women's straight, and Jianzhou women's straight.

"Father, are you alright?" Li Rusong was waiting beside him, hurried forward and asked anxiously.

Li Chengliang's face changed immediately, and he immediately scolded: "What occasion?! Call me Li Zongbing!"

"Mr. Li!" Li Rusong's face turned red. The father and son hadn't seen each other for more than a year, and the father still didn't give him any face.

Li Chengliang looked at Li Rusong really furiously, and then scolded: "You are too rampant. How dare you look down on Da Sima when you are in the capital? When Da Sima was fighting the Japanese pirates in Taizhou, you were still lying on the kang , Pee yourself with a silly face, you dare to yell at Da Sima, who are you!"

"When I meet Da Sima, I have to be polite. If someone accepts our greeting card, our family has to kowtow! You bastard!"

"Da Sima is open-minded, don't care about you, don't care about me, otherwise we father and son, neither of us can afford to go around."

Li Chengliang was very angry at Li Rusong's provocation of Tan Lun in the school grounds. Is that the one who can offend him?In the court hall, Da Sima said a few words, and the achievements of his father and son's hard work in this life were all equal to zero.

"I was wrong. Chief Sima has already taught me a lesson, so don't reprimand Li Zongbing." Li Rusong's face turned redder, provocation was fine, and he was beaten by a civil servant until he couldn't stand up. cancelled.

Thanks to Tan Lun's open-minded nature, he worked very hard, and usually had a grudge, and reported it on the spot. He chopped Li Rusong directly in the school grounds, which was considered a settlement, otherwise Li Chengliang didn't know how to maintain this relationship.

There are people outside people, and there is sky outside the sky. Be cautious in everything.

"Qi Shuai, please." Li Chengliang took Qi Jiguang into the city, first went to inspect the important prisoners of war, such as Lai Lihong, Wang Gao, Naiertu, etc. During the battle, Li Chengliang also took Qi Jiguang to the Dragon King Temple to fulfill his wish.

Only then did Qi Jiguang find out that Li Chengliang even set up the cannons of the general in front of the Dragon King Temple in order to beg for snow. If there was no more snow, he bombarded the Dragon King Temple.

Fortunately, it snowed soon, and Li Chengliang made a lot of sacrifices, so he entertained Lord Xialong, and the face was given to each other, and if the Lord Dragon gave face, Li Chengliang naturally had to give face.

A total of 21 of Li Chengliang's guest soldiers were killed and 67 were injured.

The next day, Qi Jiguang led 1000 people out of Fushun Pass and inspected the details of the broken camp. Qi Jiguang walked very slowly. , and did not let him train soldiers without being short-sighted.

Qi Jiguang returned to Shenyang and planned to be a teacher.

The battle process can be seen from the casualties, it was a completely one-sided situation, even Wang Gao was captured, and it was a complete annihilation battle.

"Back to Beijing, maybe I can catch up with the Chinese New Year." Qi Jiguang inspected the army again. This time, the long-distance training, although he did not have any military achievements, he pulled the Beijing camp out for training, which is very important for the Beijing camp. , is also a huge growth.

"Why is Shuai Qi measuring my size?" Li Chengliang finally asked the doubts in his heart.Qi Jiguang measured his size.

Qi Jiguang said with a smile: "Your Majesty gave me and Li Rusong a pair of iron armors, and I will tell you about it when I return to court, and I will also give Li Zongbing a set. Yu Shuai and Chen Lin also have them."

Li Chengliang said dully: "That's really true, thank God."

Tiehunjia Li Chengliang knows what it is, Qi Jiguang has one, and Li Rusong has one.

"Mr. Li, then I'm leaving." Li Rusong didn't stay in Liao Town and wanted to go back to Beijing with him.

"Go away, what do women and children look like? A good man is everywhere!" Li Chengliang waved his hand impatiently, signaling Li Rusong to get out of here.

Qi Jiguang started to set off with [-] soldiers and headed for Jinzhou. Li Chengliang watched Qi Jiguang leave with [-] soldiers. He couldn't see his figure, so he looked a little lonely. Among his sons, Li Rusong was the most promising Although on the surface, he is impatient to chase people away, in fact, he is quite proud of this son. If he is capable, he is really capable, and if he is crazy, he is really crazy.

When he came back this time, Li Rusong's arrogance had completely subsided, and with the demeanor of a general, it was obvious that Qi Jiguang was also focusing on cultivating Li Rusong.

"Okay, that's great." Li Chengliang hummed a ditty and entered the pass. He won the battle. How could it be a beautiful thing?
The good news spread to the capital, and the full salary, rewards, and pensions promised by the emperor were all sent to Shenyang, and the governor Zhang Xueyan was added as the Minister of the Ministry of War. If you make meritorious service, you will be issued a world certificate, and you will live with the country.

"No, no, is it true, Your Majesty?" Li Chengliang looked at a lot of rewards, and he was a little stupid. After everything was done, the emperor thought that the court was at a great loss, so he didn't pay the full salary and didn't give him any kindness. Reward, Li Chengliang can also understand.

These are all tacit routines, and Li Chengliang has long been prepared to succeed if he is not impeached.

Silver, the little emperor, he really gave it.

His Majesty the Emperor also specially bestowed a Liujue, just like Qi Jiguang, everyone is now an Earl.

Li Chengliang was dumbfounded, the little emperor was young, and he was not stingy at all, with a wave of his hand, the whole Liaodong was like the Chinese New Year.

Zhang Xueyan looked at so many rewards, and said in a low voice: "Give the sergeant some New Year's silver, one tael per person, 7 silver, and the censors are all looking at you, I'm afraid they are waiting to pick your fault .”

Li Chengliang waved his hand and said: "One person, two liang, everyone has a good year! Guest soldiers pay, trouble Zhang Shilang and send someone to watch, don't pay the money, and send it to the thieves."

"Your Majesty is generous, we can't be stingy, can we?"

Li Chengliang fought this battle. Before the battle, he paid 6000 taels of silver. With a big wave of his hand, the Liaodong army soldiers each had two taels, which was 14 taels of silver.

But Li Chengliang couldn't help being happy. The court changed. In the first year, the generals were given a little power. Now they can fight without restraint, and they can still receive rewards after fighting. This is as beautiful as winning a battle.

Qi Jiguang rushed back to the capital three days before the Chinese New Year. Because of a leap in December, he just returned to his hometown in two months.

The rest of the court had already begun, and Qi Jiguang entered the palace on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month to hear the Liaodong War in detail again.

"Li Zongbing was in Liao, and the barbarians were afraid of his prestige, and the borders depended on his protection, and he also condoned his soldiers to plunder." Qi Jiguang looked at Li Chengliang's pacification of Gule Village from two perspectives. We won, but in the matter of Liaodong, winning is not enough.

Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "Lacking political victories, bandits and bandits will come again after we are swept away for a while. When China is weak, we will take the opportunity to create chaos, and there will be no peace again and again."

"But Li Zongbing has done the best he can, and even got injured in order to catch the rebellious chief Wang Gao."

"Does Li Chengliang have signs of a feudal town in Liaodong?"

Zhu Yijun asked straightforwardly and clearly.

"The Jingying is strong, and Li Chengliang has never dared to be a feudal town all his life." Qi Jiguang said quite calmly: "When he sees the might of our Jingying army, he dare not despise the imperial court. Whether he wants a feudal town or not, he doesn't care."

Qi Jiguang said this calmly and domineeringly. Since he dared to drag the Beijing camp to Shenyang, he just showed it to Li Chengliang.

"Qi Shuai's words are right." Zhu Yijun changed the subject and said, "Qi Shuai is not in the capital, and someone will bully me and Mister."

"Who!" Qi Jiguang's aura changed when he heard the words, and became cold and severe.

Zhu Yijun talked about Fu Yingzhen's affairs inside and out, and then continued: "Fu Yingzhen has been asking to be appointed, but I refused, so he kowtowed in front of Huangji gate. He has retired and returned home."

"It's cheap for him, killing him, but fulfilling him, treating him lightly, it seems that the husband has no guts, this guy has figured it out from the beginning, as long as Zhen Dangdian doesn't kill him, he can escape unscathed."

"In order to gain a good reputation for a while, these officials of science and Taoism would rather resist the imperial edict than slander the common customs; Their appearance is portrayed in three points."

After Qi Jiguang listened to it, he always felt that something was wrong. He said suspiciously: "Why do you feel that what your majesty said seems, maybe, maybe your majesty is admonishing and bullying the officials? Didn't your majesty win?"

Qi Jiguang listened to all the causes and consequences, no matter how it sounds, it sounds like His Majesty is bullying others, not Fu Yingzhen is bullying the little emperor.

"Really?" Zhu Yijun frowned. He had already said that he was pitiful, but in the end he was more like a bully?

Qi Jiguang said uncertainly, "Isn't it?"

"Maybe." Zhu Yijun also said with some uncertainty.

"It's my master who reminded me that the way of these officials, or the people who have clear opinions, is really hateful." Zhu Yijun talked about Zhang Juzheng's exhortation.

If you look at the Jiajing period, the first 20 years, all the actions of the Jiajing emperor can be regarded as a model of Mingjun. Tian Yumin and so on, but in the 21st year of Jiajing, the Renyin Palace changed, and after the assassination of the emperor happened, the country's dynasty took a sharp turn.

If you just look at the first 15 years of Wanli, Emperor Wanli can also be called wise. There is even a saying that Wanli Zhongxing, the country’s income has increased greatly, the Qingzhang has returned to the field, the commodity economy has never been prosperous, scientific masters have emerged one after another, social customs are high-spirited and lively, and can To solve the problem of national defense and border troubles, it can be said that Nghe An at home and abroad, Yin Fu at home, but disappointment after disappointment, and finally despair, Emperor Wanli failed.

These courtiers were so vicious, they even used the trick of moistening things silently, and they were so vicious to a child.

"It's always been like this." Qi Jiguang heard what Zhang Juzheng said, and he felt the same, but he didn't say much. This matter in the middle of the court, with Zhang Juzheng in the country, the customs will not immediately become bad in a short time.

Zhu Yijun also shook his head when he heard the words and said: "Isn't it? No courtiers have been playing chapters these days, and Liang Menglong and Zhao Mengyou are fighting for love, and they quarreled again."

 Going out to run errands today, maybe in the evening, maybe not.Ask for a monthly ticket, woo! ! ! ! !
